Chapter 820 – #96. Jin Hae Sol (124)
The problem was that if it was true that Emperor Geos had a misfortune, the nobles under him would be rampaging to their heart’s content.
‘If the nobles run rampant, the country will collapse faster. It’ll be five minutes before the damn thing.’
It is obvious that some kind of quarrel is going on among the nobles to usurp the power of the emperor.
It festers little by little, and then, when the festering lesion spreads throughout, the nobles realize it.
What kind of scandal did their power struggle cause?
‘It’s difficult to collapse right now. Our empire is not yet ready to eat the Geos Empire.’
I have a small stomach, and if I eat too much, I get sick and my stomach hurts.
‘I’ll have to check the movements of other countries soon.’
The rich lands of the Geos Empire have always encouraged the greed of other countries.
What if, in the midst of that, you learn about the weakened state of the Geos Empire?
Of course you will be greedy.
Then, instead of going to war with the Geos Empire, wars between the various countries surrounding the Geos Empire could begin.
‘It doesn’t matter because the Geos Empire is a country that is on the verge of collapsing and has run out of strength, but other countries aren’t like that. Then even if we win, the damage will increase.’
It didn’t fit the purpose I came here for, and it was something I didn’t want.
‘Conversely, I might have to help the Emperor of the Geos Empire.’
To breathe a breath into the Geos Empire, which is running towards its end.
It seemed like it might be necessary.
“By the way.”
“Yes?”
After thinking for a while, I turned my head to Bianca.
Bianca secretly turned away from me, as if she had a hunch that something bad would happen to her.
Of course, that didn’t change what I wanted to say.
“Should I go back soon?”
“Are you going back to the imperial palace now?”
“You know the place I have to return to is not the imperial palace.”
Bianca has a place to return to.
Neither the Imperial Palace of the Geos Empire nor the Imperial Palace of our Empire were her final destinations to which she had to return.
“Wasn’t she playing well enough? She even fought a wild chicken 1 on 1.”
“I lost miserably to him! Not a good experience at all!”
“But at the end, you laughed and parted ways.”
Bianca proudly boasted that I was her guardian to her wild chickens, and then came back petting the chicks that hadn’t drained all of her yellow water yet.
Of course, I was able to do that because I took care of the food separately.
“Since it ended nicely, I have to stop playing and go back.”
“It hasn’t finished warmly yet. There is still work for Emperor Geos.”
“You can write a letter even when you go home.”
Bianca eagerly tried to come up with an excuse for her stay here, but she was able to easily block it.
She had no prestige for her to be here anymore.
“I’m sorry, but let’s go back now. You have suffered enough.”
He comforted Bianca in a way that soothed her child, who didn’t want to leave her playground and go back to her house.
She sighed at my persuasion before she finally nodded her head saying she knew.
“Because I played well enough so far. Now we have to go back to reality. The ending is a bit uncomfortable, but I believe that the owner will take care of it. At least those who sent assassins to me should be hanged.”
“… That, yes.”
I replied saying yes to Bianca’s embarrassing words.
Anyway, if the Geos Empire collapses, all the nobles from there will die.
No matter how long it might take, it was certain that their end would not be easy.
I brought up another story to change the bloody topic.
“I’ll probably get some nagging from Melissa when I get back. He’s grinding his teeth at you.”
Isn’t it a situation where you left the company for almost a year after you said you were asking for a few months?
It was strange that he wasn’t angry.
In fact, Melissa was very upset that Bianca couldn’t reach her.
She hadn’t even contacted her in a year, and seeing that she wasn’t worried at all, she seemed to believe that no matter where Bianca went, she would diligently take care of her body.
At least, because I had to work for a long time, he made an excuse for it, so I was patient with it.
But Bianca’s eyes lit up when it was said that Melissa would be angry.
“Huh, that’s right. I bet her brother misses me so much.”
I didn’t want to see it in a friendly way, but Bianca seemed to have enough of that.
No matter how funny Emperor Geos is, she won’t interest Bianca as much as her brother.
As much as Bianca is her dearest, Melissa she has been bullied a lot as well.
To Bianca, she is probably more affectionate and interested in Melissa than Emperor Geos.
Her cheeks turned red, as if her love for her brother, whom she had forgotten for a while, bloomed.
“Suddenly, I missed him. I can’t wait to meet and hear about how much my sister missed her sister.”
A smile bloomed again on Bianca’s face.
Even though it’s clear that you won’t hear good things.
The guts are funny, and I thought she was Bianca-like.
♧ ♧ ♧
Even though she agreed that Bianca had to go back to her, she couldn’t get her back right away.
As soon as she arrived at the Imperial Palace, she dispatched a person to find out the situation in the Imperial Castle of the Geos Empire, while she had to settle the issue of punishment for the Dane Baron who tried to kill Bianca.
Bianca had been nailed that she would never go back until she had taken her anger out on Baron Dane.
“Master promised! I’ll leave that person’s disposal to you.”
“Of course you will. It will happen as you wish. But that didn’t mean I was going to show you how to be punished. Do you really want to see something so painful and bloody? Would be nice.”
Bianca heard me and she was speechless for a moment.
“…I can’t adapt because the owner treats me so kindly. Are you doing that on purpose to spend more now?”
“You’re doing this because you’re sorry. And what are you going to do if you shake just this much? I didn’t do anything particularly kind.”
“Even if you pretend, I will never go over it.”
“You’re the one. Don’t turn the conversation around. Don’t you hate seeing gross things? They say it smells really bad. You said you saw caterpillars.”
“!!”
“You don’t want to see that again.”
They set people on fire, hit them, and there’s no way they smell good.
Bianca wondered if her tastes had changed so drastically, she watched with concern.
She deliberately mentioned the caterpillar as a reminder of something gross, but luckily it seemed to be worthwhile.
“Could you mind not mentioning that…Creepy guy?”
Bianca’s complexion is pale.
It seemed that her stomach was properly hurt by talking about her caterpillars.
“Okay. He’ll be more disgusting than the guy you hate. Let’s see only the good things. Huh?”
“…Okay. I’ll follow the master’s will. Instead, that human, you must do as I wish.”
“Of course. So what should I do?”
“I… I need to see that bastard’s face first.”
“Okay.”
“I’m going to make it pretty. I’ll do my makeup and set my hair.”
“I’ll give you the best clothes and give you lots of jewelry.”
All Bianca wanted was for her to dress up and appear in front of him.
It was quite understandable why she wanted to see her Dane, her baron.
‘Even though you risked your life and did that, you are living a fine life.’ That’s probably what you want to know.
She risked her life at best, but she heard curses and was thrown away in prison, and isn’t the target she tried to kill living well?
Surely the news of Bianca’s survival will frustrate her Dane Baron.
“And I have to give him all the pain I must have felt. The important part here is to make him feel cold and hungry. In a space without a single light, insects are running around everywhere, and the floor is cold, so he shivered while barely holding on to a blanket. I’m spending the night. Maybe I can’t sleep well?”
“It’s horrific to even imagine.”
“I did!”
I can’t seem to stop this.
“Still, things are much better here than in the forest, so you might be able to sleep. I can’t see that. I have to bother you so I can’t sleep. Please release the bugs at regular intervals.”
Uh, that’s a bit.
“…Because he’s a knight, maybe he’ll catch all the bugs?”
“You have to feel that awful feeling of bugs climbing up your body! If you run out of bugs, just get more bugs and release them.”
I thought it wouldn’t work if I said no, so she obediently accepted her request.
“Yeah, okay. Please do that.”
“Of course you should. And…”
“Are there any more?”
“Yes! How can you be satisfied with just this much? Of course there are more.”
Bianca said firmly, as if she hadn’t made any concessions.
It seemed that she would have to work hard to persuade Bianca, who always had such a high standard, as hard as possible to come to an agreement.
“Please give me caterpillar food.”
“Hey.”
“I!! I starved for 3 days!!! Should I eat caterpillars because I was hungry!! I was seriously contemplating!!”
“You really didn’t eat, did you?”
“Of course!”
The resentment seemed so deep in his voice that I wondered if he really ate it, but it doesn’t seem to be the case.
But Bianca swallowed her saliva like she was hiding something.
‘I guess he didn’t really eat it?’
Somehow, the grudge against the caterpillar seemed deep…
Do I really have to do what I am asked to do?
Perhaps reading my concerns, Bianca exclaimed in anger.
“I never thought there would be a day in my life where I would justify myself that white caterpillars might be plump and delicious!!”
“Okay, okay. I’ll make sure to feed you white caterpillars. But I can’t force you to eat.”
This meant that he could not be forced to open his mouth to eat.
“Okay. I want you to even worry about whether or not to eat the caterpillar because I’m hungry.”
Bianca nodded her head as if satisfied with that.
“So is it all over now?”
“No? We still have a long way to go?”
“…”
It seems that Bianca has not learned much from her temper, having suffered such a thing.
Or did you think this was a different situation?
Since she was arguing anyway, it seemed like she needed to listen to some more explanations to appease her.
