Chapter 770 – 770. Warning and Gift (6)
“Raid the palace directly…”
After hearing Erwin’s report, Eunhyeon chewed on the report with a hard face.
“Oh…”
Eleanor, who was listening together, also reacted very surprised.
Erin was the only one who reacted differently.
“Good job! Brother! I should have just destroyed it!”
Far from being surprised, she was rather amused by his report and encouraged him even more.
“Ah, that unlucky prince! I wanted to punch you, too!”
If it wasn’t for Eun-hyeon, who restrained her, Erin might have really beaten Alfred, the third prince of Bartel Kingdom, with her own temper.
[… Did he do something to you?]
“Huh! That unlucky narcissist prince looked at me and Miss Eleanor strangely! I really hated it!”
Erin, who can read other people’s emotions intact, recognized Alfred’s eyes as she harbored an obscene lust for herself and Eleanor.
A man who looked like a king of extravagance, who seemed to show off his worth by adorning expensive accessories all over his body with greasy oil flowing from his appearance.
That was the impression of a prince named Alfred that remained in Erin’s memory.
For Erin, who felt goosebumps all over her body just by being conveyed to her, it must have been really hard work to forcefully hide her clenched fists as she trembled.
[… Should I have broken one of the king’s limbs?]
When he thought of the prince who harbored nasty thoughts about her sister, Alvin regretted it belatedly.
She almost wiped out half of the palace of Bartel Kingdom and came out, but it suddenly bothered her that she left the limbs of the king, the father of the prince, intact.
“Is Eleanor not mad?”
“I wasn’t in a good mood either. But because Alvin and this person acted on my behalf. I’m fine.”
“… If Eleanor-sama is okay, I can’t help it.”
According to her personal feelings, she would have to put a punch in the face of the narcissist prince to make things clear, but Erin didn’t think that would become a reality due to the complicated political structure.
She was just sad
“Still. Thank you. Brother.”
[Hmm.]
Alvin responded with her brief nod of the head.
“… Whoa.”
Eunhyun felt slightly dizzy at the unexpected result.
Leaning back on the sofa, he forced his fingers to straighten his narrowed forehead.
“Are you okay?”
Eleanor was the only one who sympathized with and worried about Eunhyun’s headache.
“It’s cold water. Have a little drink.”
“… Thank you.”
Erin, who belatedly grasped Eunhyeon and Eleanor’s mood, tilted her head.
“What’s the matter. Hyuna? Now, this situation, isn’t it good?”
“What… It’s not bad.”
“But something seems off.”
“Just… I honestly didn’t expect…”
“Ah.”
Erin realized the meaning of Eunhyeon’s words belatedly.
An unexpected variable is correct, but it was not a variable in a bad sense.
The reason why Eunhyeon sent Erwin to Bartel Kingdom was not simply because of her retaliation for this incident.
Her main purpose is to retaliate against Bartel Kingdom, but the additional reason is to measure Elvin’s power accurately.
As an artificially created spirit, and the power of the physical specifications of the homunculus created by Eunhyeon and Illyana has already been proven.
Specifically, the purpose of this experiment was to see how far Elvin’s spirit art would work against the nations of the continent.
Success isn’t just success, it’s like great success.
“No matter how much, who would have thought it would be so big.”
Eunhyun smiled bitterly.
Alvin’s way of thinking was very simple.
The two contradictory action plans were to run amok to the extent that the damage to life was minimal, but the kingdom was greatly staggered.
Eunhyeon herself thought it might be a little too much, but this was also mixed with Eunhyeon’s intention to understand Erwin’s way of thinking to some extent.
It felt like a professor watching the process and results of how to solve the assignments given to students and come up with answers.
The answer Alvin gave was very simple.
If human lives are to be valued, and the task is to escalate events to such an extent that the total amount of that value is staggered, it is better to go after a noble or royalty worth 100 or 1,000 than many ordinary civilians worth 1. Efficient and non-threatening.
So, Erwin attacked the palace without hesitation.
No matter how much he reached that conclusion, Erwin’s mindset of attacking the palace without hesitation had tremendous courage that was unmatched by ignorance.
“Great job. Elvin. It’s not what I thought it would be, but in a great way in its own way.”
[Right.]
Alvin silently nodded and replied.
It wasn’t an action she wanted to receive praise for, but somehow it was different because she received a positive evaluation directly from Eun-hyeon, whom she followed as a contractor and owner.
When she was in school, when she studied magic and performed well, I wonder if this was how it felt to be praised by her.
“Ugh, why are only oppa being praised? If I step out, I could crush the palace faster and more overwhelmingly than her brother!”
She was Erin, who had praised her brother, saying that her old anger had subsided, but this time she was jealous of her brother.
As for her other wives, it seemed that she couldn’t tolerate being praised and acknowledged by anyone else.
“Erin. You know she’s not just comparing who’s stronger.”
“That, not enough…”
Despite the consolation of Eleanor, who smiled bitterly and patted Erin’s hair to soothe her, Erin pouted and grunted her lips.
It’s even more amazing to think that it’s possible with the heart, not a lie.
Erin’s personal powers are also of a very high level, but apart from that, her special ability, the power of divine beasts, is the most threatening to her.
Among them, ‘Hundred Ghost Night Trips (百鬼夜行)’, which commands the souls of warriors who swore faithful obedience to her Erin, stands out.
Erin, who commanded a large number of white demons with the power to face dozens or hundreds of enemies with her own strength, is so worthy of her nickname that she is a one-man army.
[Then I’ll just go.]
Alvin hurriedly chose to disconnect her.
It was from experience that once her sister started whining at her in that way, it was not easy to appease her.
“Okay.”
After Elvin’s report, Eleanor asked her Eunhyun.
“What are you planning to do in the future?”
“Well. Nothing for now.”
Unless there was a counterattack from the other side, there was no need to come out from this side.
“But you should be prepared.”
For the time being, it’s better to plant a few Heilangites in Bartel Kingdom and keep track of their dynamics.
The key personnel of the intelligence department, who were already in charge of the kingdom’s main functions, were killed by Eunhyeon and Alvin.
It would be difficult to find the Heilang members planted in the kingdom.
“Do you think you will continue to fight?”
“I won’t come for a while. Unless the person called the king is stupid.”
Still, isn’t there a saying that it’s a non-electronic war?
If it was the King, Prince Alfred’s father, there was a possibility that he would not understand the subject and retaliate.
If that happens, it’s really an all-out war.
“Finding a link between Erwin and this side, who attacked the palace, would be difficult with that side’s abilities.”
If not impossible, how many years will it take to reach the conclusion that Eun-hyeon was behind it?
However, there are too few justifications to protest against the kingdom of Pernias and the dukedom of Armitas only with Prince Alfred’s argument or feelings.
In any case, this side can prove the confession of the ringleaders that the Bartell Kingdom and the Alteria Company tried to plan the conspiracy first.
“The correct answer would be to just lower your tail and crawl on your own, but…”
The world doesn’t know
“What will become of that unlucky prince?”
Erin muttered curiously.
“Is it at least to the extent of deprivation and confinement of the right to succeed to the throne?”
“… Just that much?”
Erin frowned at the punishment that was weaker than she thought.
It was Eunhyeon’s order and Elvin’s actions that carried it out, but the starting point of the threat to the palace and royal family, the center of Bartel’s kingdom, should definitely lie with the third prince, Alfred.
Wouldn’t that be too weak a punishment for taking responsibility for it?
“I told you. As far as the minimum. After all, he’s my son and he’s royalty.”
“… It’s complicated.”
“… It’s not complicated.”
Eleanor smiled bitterly as if agreeing.
The bloody relationship between parents is very complex.
It is even more so if it is a relationship that is intertwined with power, various interests, and responsibilities.
Didn’t his father, who always wanted to act upright and for better politics, also commit a great sin by failing to raise his children properly?
Eunhyun pulled Eleanor’s shoulder, which had sunk slightly.
“Ah.”
Naturally, Eleanor, who was embraced by her Eun-hyeon, looked up at her Eun-hyeon with a slightly surprised expression.
“Of course, in order to restore authority and public sentiment, they will be punished more severely than this.”
“… Yes.”
Realizing that the act of changing her subject and seeking an answer was to comfort herself, Eleanor responded with a happy smile.
Anyway, you can find out what kind of punishment the 3rd Prince Alfred will receive through the Black Wand members that he plans to plant in Bartel Kingdom.
“Ha… I’m tired. I want you to rest for a while.”
The past few days were really busy with Heilangdan’s problems, fighting back against Alfred, and preparing for the banquet.
“Thank you for your effort.”
Eleanor smiled, knowing how busy she had been, soothing her husband.
“… Erin. Come on.”
“Yes?”
As Eunhyun leaned over Eleanor’s body as if entrusting her upper body, she pulled Erin’s arm and held her into her own arms.
“What’s the matter. Hyuna?”
“… Two people. Shall we do it now?”
“Oh?”
“… Huh?”
Erin didn’t understand what he was saying, but Eleanor understood Eunhyun’s words and put on a slightly surprised expression.
It wasn’t that there weren’t any obscene acts in public like this, but it was very rare for Eun-hyeon to express his desire honestly first.
“Whoops. Great.”
Eleanor gladly complied with her husband’s request and she slowly began to take off the dress that was adorning her body.
Only after seeing Eleanor’s actions, Erin also realizes what Eun-hyeon wants, and she puts on a startled expression.
“Hey, are you going to do it here!? Really… ?”
With an expression of disbelief on her face, Erin muttered.
“Gee, really… ?”
