Chapter 77 – Chapter 18. I Even Thought About Getting Married.
Three days have passed since I arrived in the capital.
Jihyeok sat in his office for the first time in a while and slowly worked on the overdue tasks one by one. In the meantime, the manager, Durka, came to the warrior’s office. He was informed that a guest had arrived. It was an unexpected visit.
“… Customer? Who?”
“I am called the Elizabethan Warrior.”
Ah.
Hearing the name, the corner of Jihyeok’s mouth naturally rose. I hope she will come to see you in person. She wondered why she was here.
“Okay. Go soon.”
Jihyeok sent Durka first and left the office after finishing his work. He went to the drawing room on the first floor and saw a familiar face sitting there sipping tea. She was the daughter of the Duke of Balkan, Princess Elizabeth.
It was their first meeting after becoming warriors. For a while, both she and he were tangled up in each other, and there was no chance to see her face.
Still, he didn’t know that she would come to him first. Aren’t you a woman with a normal self-esteem? There she must have been armed to the point of jealousy.
“Long time no see, Elizabeth.”
“… Yes.”
Elizabeth couldn’t treat him as badly as before. Because now we have an equal relationship with each other. Even so, she was not the kind of person who just went out of her way, ignoring that.
Jihyeok sent congratulations first.
“I’m late, but congratulations. You became a warrior.”
“Congratulations to you too. … Rumors abounded. It is an unprecedented record.”
“Well, I was lucky.”
Elizabeth, of course, knew that she couldn’t do it simply by luck. It was nothing but 100 points. Moreover, this time, did she not return after succeeding in the 80-point mission? … She honestly couldn’t even imagine what a difficult task that would be.
After becoming a hero, she completed two 20-point missions in one year, accumulating her contribution to 60 points. At the same time, she was swollen in her dreams. I hope I can get a promotion within the next year. She had no doubt that although she was a bit behind him, she believed that if she worked hard, she would catch up someday.
However, when he heard rumors that Ji-hyeok was returning, his mood dropped to the bottom. While going through the hardships, he accumulated up to 60 points, but he only accumulated 80 points at once. At this rate, he was likely to be able to become a B-class within this year. … It was a really far story for her, who hadn’t even gotten out of D-class yet.
Destiny’s Rival.
She once thought so. But as time passed, she began to think that maybe it was her own illusion. … He was moving away too fast.
In fact, there was a different reason for coming today. It was because of the invitation of his father, the Duke of Balkan.
Money is money, land is land, power is power. The Duke of Balkan, who had everything, had only one regret. He said it was a powerful weapon.
Of course, there were many strong people under him. But he didn’t have anything that could be said to be overwhelming. In a situation where I always had such regrets, the character Kang Ji-hyeok appeared. A warrior who is said to be an unprecedented and unprecedented great genius.
Furthermore, he was a foreigner and had no family. It meant that if I could only embrace him like this, I could make him a person of the ducal family. … Of course, my mouth is watering.
– What do you think of a warrior named Kang Ji-hyeok?
– … Why do you ask that?
– I am thinking of marrying you.
Elizabeth knew she would one day be used as a weapon in an arranged marriage. Her father, the Duke of Balkan, was such a man. For him, children were nothing more than a means to expand his power.
However, she never expected that Kang Ji-hyeok would be listed as the name of her marriage partner.
– Are you serious?
– It means you have it in mind. Of course, there is still time, so there is nothing to think about too quickly. … Still, look inside yourself once. What do you think
– … Yes I got it
So it came.
Of course, I hadn’t come to decide whether or not to marry him. Still, I’ve thought of them as rivals up until now, so I’m curious about how they’re doing, and I’m also curious about this 80-point mission… Anyway, all those reasons were mixed in a complex way.
“Well, it looks like you’re doing well.”
Oddly enough, the tone came out a bit blunt. There was something even more tingly about her fresh-faced personality.
But he smiled generously and accepted the attitude casually. … Looking at this, it seemed that her personality wasn’t very ugly.
Maybe it was after hearing about the marriage, but I kept arguing about this and that while watching him. Like scoring.
Clearly, there was nothing to blame for his skill. It is said that he is a historical genius, but there is no doubt about it.
Appearance was also great. He looks good, he’s tall, and he has a good body. … The penis, that… , Is it big?
… What am I thinking.
Elizabeth was slightly startled inwardly as she involuntarily came up with a nasty thought. It must have been because she accidentally overheard the vulgar conversation of her co-workers that a man can only do his job well with a big cock.
Anyway.
She was from a foreign country, so her family was corrupt, but Elizabeth’s father, the Duke of Balkan, seemed to welcome it more. I guess that makes it easier to handle. A daughter who knew her ruthless father’s character well, she was sure.
Her princess must also get married someday. In that respect, he was definitely the perfect match for many conditions. It takes a not very pleasant first meeting, but it was a long time ago, so it was petty to still talk about it.
She thought for a long time. I wondered if I should take out her words or not.
“… Elizabeth?”
“Yes? Why?”
“What are you here for?”
Ah.
A lot of things went through Elizabeth’s mind at that moment. … But in the end, something different from her true intentions popped out.
“I just want to hear about this mission. … I heard it’s 80 points?”
Ji-hyeok, who had no way of knowing the princess’ true intentions, thought it was because of that. Still, isn’t she a jealous woman? When she hears the story, she wonders if she can even try to score a high score herself, she must be thinking.
Of course, Jihyeok thought she would hide it, but she didn’t. She said she was talking anyway, and she didn’t make much of a difference. It’s not like she’s going to do anything she wouldn’t be able to hear.
… She doesn’t have to be enemies. Seeing that she came in person, she doesn’t seem to have any ill feelings toward me either…
Jihyeok treated her opponent kindly even if he came out a little brusque. Wasn’t it a fact that she already knew that the princess had a bad temper?
He started talking calmly. She sat awkwardly at first, but gradually fell in love with him. She had no idea that she had been to the notorious Plains of Monsters.
The talk was really exciting. Elizabeth was leaning her body toward Jihyeok without realizing it.
She walked through wide meadows, passed through nasty swamps, and entered a terrifying devil’s labyrinth. Finally, the long story ended when she killed the demon Gene V.
There was an afterglow for a while. The princess belatedly realized her own ugliness and quickly changed her expression and corrected her posture again.
“Well, I heard you well. … Something amazing happened.”
“It’s amazing to hear about it, but if you experience it yourself, your teeth will tremble.”
“Well, even if I gave you 100 points, I wouldn’t go to the Plains of Monsters.”
Actually, it was bullshit. If I were to give 100 points, I would be willing to go right now. However, when she stood in front of him, she somehow wanted to act a little smug. Even knowing that it doesn’t make any sense.
“I see.”
Jihyeok didn’t bother to sarcastically, just laughed lightly and passed it over lightly. Somehow he seemed a little cute. The way he was trying to take care of his pride until the very end.
There was silence for a moment. She swallowed only the horob tea. She couldn’t think of a suitable topic for conversation.
Jihyeok looked outside. It seemed to be around noon. He looked at Elizabeth again and asked if she would like to go for a quick lunch. As if she had waited, she quickly nodded her head.
“Well, if you treat me, let’s eat and go.”
He asked her maid to prepare her meal. The two went to a restaurant.
Elizabeth pondered while cutting the meat. She may or may not bring up the subject of marriage. … Oddly enough, the word didn’t come out of my mouth.
At that point, Ji-hyeok also noticed that she was worried. Of course, she hadn’t yet guessed what it was.
The meal that started in silence ended again in silence. When she finished eating, she couldn’t stay any longer. It was time for her to leave.
“Well, the meal was good. I will treat you next time.”
“I’ll be looking forward to it.”
The two walked side by side. She’s still in trouble. She had to speak, but she couldn’t bear to speak.
The two men and women soon left the entrance of the mansion. He escorted her to the front of her carriage. It was his consideration to maintain a good relationship with her.
“Then, I’ll go.”
“Yes, be careful.”
Elizabeth slowly climbed into the carriage. Even then she suffered in her grunts. I have to talk, but I do.
“Kang Ji-hyeok, the warrior.”
“Yes.”
“… Thank you for the hospitality.”
“Yes.”
Jihyeok wondered what this woman was doing. But she couldn’t get her words out and slammed the door of her carriage.
This is-. The carriage moved. He looked at it for a moment, then turned away.
… However, the carriage suddenly stopped. The carriage door slammed open and Elizabeth jumped out of it. She strode towards him, her face hardened.
Jihyeok, who was about to enter the mansion, turned around and looked at the princess with a puzzled expression. When she came back in front of him, her face was red.
“What brings you here… ?”
“Kang Ji-hyeok, the warrior.”
“Tell.”
Elizabeth took a deep breath. She then licked her dry lips with her tongue.
The gaze, which had fallen slightly, rose again and she looked at him.
“… What do you think about marriage?”
· · ·
Widely.
The carriage door was closed.
“Get off quickly. Come on!”
Elisabeth cried out and covered her face with her hands.
Crazy really crazy, me
It’s not enough to go to the mansion of the guy you thought of as an enemy, have a meal in a calm manner, and come out, is it a marriage? … Wait a minute, what did your hair look like?
Why did you stop in the middle when you should have just walked on the way before? !
I felt really ashamed.
This is-. The carriage started again. It soon left Jihyeok’s mansion and ran down the main street.
– … What do you think about marriage?
After I said it, I wanted to ache. But the water had already been spilled.
At that moment, the opponent’s eyes widened slightly. I guess I didn’t know that something like that would come out.
– Marriage?
He thought for a moment before opening his mouth.
– It’s too sudden… , Well, I can review it positively.
It was a very vague answer. However, to ask for a more definitive answer, my head was already full of shame. I just wanted to get away from this place right now.
– All right.
Elizabeth replied and returned straight to the carriage.
Crazy, crazy, really!
My feet jumped on their own. She just couldn’t stay still.
… By the way, what’s the point if you give this damn bastard a clear answer? … Bad ass
– You can review it positively.
Still, humans are very strange animals, and with that, I instinctively came up with the most positive thoughts.
… If you’re going to review it positively, you’re saying you’ve got some heart, right? If I didn’t have a heart at all, I would have said that I would just think about it. … That’s right. Why did you bother with the word positive?
Elizabeth was very imaginative with just one word, positively.
Yes, there is no corner where I fall into! A princess, a warrior, pretty, with a good personality… , It’s not like he doesn’t have feelings for me either.
The warrior was very confident.
Where is a girl like me When marriage talks come up, you should know how to bow down and accept it!
