## Chapter 1265 – Encounter

“Oh my. You have so many children?”

A whole truckload of 거지 깽깽이-like children. King Barganell’s children came screeching towards us like a flock of ducks.

“You bastard!!! How dare you do that to my father!!!”

Among them, a tiny little brat who still looked like a boy kicked off the ground and launched a flying side kick at me, but it was all just laughable.

“Hup.”

I immediately delivered an almighty Heavenly Demon Flick to the sole of his foot.

ㅡThwack!

“Aaaaaaaargh!!! Help meeeeeeee!!!”

The little brat clutched his foot and screamed with the agony of his soul. Man, that kid’s scream is something else. Looking at it, his foot was completely red and swollen. He’s a spitting image of his dad.

“Hehehe.”

That’s what you get for going barefoot.

This is what you call a beatdown for the children.

“Before you attack an enemy, properly assess your own strength, you little 초딩.”
“My foot!!! My foooooooooot!!! I’m gonna dieeeeeee!!!! Owwwwwww!!!”

The boy continued to wail as if he were a newborn baby crying for breath. If I could capture this moment in a painting right now, anyone would be able to surpass Munch for sure.

“Baruga’s been hurt!”
“Baruga!!! How dare they hurt Baruga!!”
“Barugaaaaaa!”

Dark elf boys and girls of various hair colors glared at me, expressing their rage. Did he have like ten kids? That’s a lot. And it seems the boy’s name was Baruga. So, is he Prince Baruga or something?

Of course, they didn’t attack. They just glared, hugging the boy with the swollen foot.

“Everyone stop! He’s not someone you can handle!”

Then King Barganell stepped forward.

“Father…!”

Wise choice.

“Now, now. Our friends, don’t be too surprised. There’s a reason why your dad had to end up like that, so be quiet and take your seats. We can’t have a commotion during mealtime. Right, King Barganell?”
“…That’s right. Everyone, sit down. It’s mealtime.”
“Hmm.”

From Claudia’s description, I thought he was a very aggressive, cold-blooded person, but seeing him up close, he just seemed like a regular middle-aged guy.

“Claudia. Come sit next to me.”
“Okay.”

Claudia seemed to be in a good mood, finding it quite funny that I flicked him. So, we sat around the large rectangular dining table. At that moment, servants brought in the food and served it.

Since we came all this way, we might as well eat.

“Well, don’t hesitate and eat.”

I said that, picked up a fork, and started tasting the food. The taste was good. And there wasn’t anything weird mixed in.

“Claudia, you eat too.”

With that feeling, we started our meal.

ㅡ…

A silent table.

Only Claudia and I were eating.

“H… How can you eat so calmly!”

The boy with the swollen foot glared at me and shouted.

“Baruga! Be quiet!”
“Baruga…!”

The other kids next to him tried to stop him, and King Barganell also tried to restrain him, but when I raised my hand, everyone fell silent. The highest authority here isn’t the king, it’s me.

“I was eating calmly because the food is delicious.”
“That’s…!”

The boy looked around, as if gauging the reactions.

“If you have something to say, say it clearly.”
“Hmph! What reason did you have to humiliate my father like this! And the half-elf next to you… seems to be my father’s former daughter, but what kind of outrage is this!”

He knows everything?

“Hehehe, you’re brave because you’re young.”
“Just answer me!”

Prince Baruga shouted with unfounded courage stemming from the ignorance unique to young boys. Of course, the other kids sitting around him were just horrified.

“…”

King Barganell couldn’t say anything.

“King Barganell insulted me and my wife sitting next to me. So, I beat the shit out of him.”
“Wife…! So that’s it! Still, half-elf! Aren’t you my father’s daughter! But why did you do such a terrible thing!”
“Terrible thing?”

Claudia tilted her head at those words.

“It’s not a terrible thing. It’s the natural thing to do.”
“Natural!”

The boy’s eyes widened at Claudia’s nonchalant answer.

“Yes. It’s the natural thing to do, Prince Baruga.”
“…Da!”

Da?

“It’s not natural! Father! Tell me! Didn’t you tell us last time! That you found your old daughter! And that you were planning to invite her!”

It seems he heard the rumors about Claudia and immediately told his close aides and direct family.

“…Be quiet.”
“Father!”
“Quiet!!!!!”
“Ugh…!”

You shouldn’t yell at your own child like that.

“Hmph…! Why…! My father never intended to insult you! He was just going to invite you and treat you well! I don’t know what the misunderstanding is… but he’s not someone who deserves to be humiliated like this!!”
“It’s not a misunderstanding, Prince Baruga.”
“What!”
“King Barganell referred to my wife, Claudia, as if she were a slave. So, I personally came and smashed him up.”
“F-For that reason…”
“That’s the reason. No matter what his intentions were, the fact that he angered me doesn’t disappear.”

That’s why I’m punishing him.

Having said that, I shoved the meat into my mouth. Prince Baruga couldn’t say anything. The dining atmosphere plummeted to the worst possible level.

“Now, King Barganell. You called me, thinking it would be a good opportunity, but it was a mistake from the start. Do you admit it?”
“…I admit it.”
“Good. Then live well. Claudia. We’ve eaten, so let’s go now.”
“Katt? Are we leaving already?”
“Huh? Is there anything else you want to do?”
“Aren’t we going to loot?”
“Oh, I forgot about that.”

I almost forgot.

“Bring all the gold and jewels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

ㅡGaaaaah!!!!!!!!

I immediately scolded them loudly.

* * *

With that feeling, Claudia and I packed up a lot of gold and jewels and left the palace.

“Hehehe, yeah. We can’t leave without taking this since we came all this way. If you insult someone, you have to pay alimony.”
“Hehehe, good job. Katt.”
“But Claudia. Weren’t you upset? After all, it’s true that he treated you like a slave.”
“It’s very upsetting. But more than that… the fact that he angered Katt is bigger.”
“Is that so?”

Anyway, it’s fine since I beat him up.

We asked the royal guards and went to the building where the guests were waiting.

On the way, I thought about King Barganell.

“King Barganell. He seemed pretty strong. But in front of me, he was just a small fry.”

In front of my power, he was such a pathetic person.

He just gave up without even trying and lowered his tail.

He had quite a flashy record, and he actually had the guts and skills to do it, but he couldn’t compare to me. That’s the reality.

“Anyone’s a small fry in front of Katt. But yeah. It wasn’t like that in the past.”
“What was he like?”
“Should I say he was a very cruel and ruthless warrior? But that side of him seems to have completely disappeared. Or did he just become so weak because he stood in front of Katt? Hehehe.”

Claudia smiled brightly.

“No matter how strong someone is. In the end, when they stand in front of Katt.”
“Everyone’s equal.”
“Yeah. Everyone. Without exception. When they stand in front of Katt, they all just become weak beings. That’s so… unbearably joyful.”

Only I am the supreme one.

Claudia was extremely proud of me for becoming the supreme one.

“An unparalleled being. So superior that he puts all other beings under his feet.”
“Is that Heavenly Demon Kim Katt?”
“Yes.”
“Hehehe, as expected.”

We walked down the hallway like that.

“Who else can enter the dark elf kingdom, assault the king, and leave leisurely? Only Katt.”

Claudia really likes realizing my power.

“Hehehe, do you like it that much?”
“I love it. Seeing that side of Katt.”
“I’ll show it to you forever.”

While having that conversation, we arrived at the detached building where the guests were waiting. We went straight in and met them again.

Let’s go home now.

* * *

We immediately left this unpleasant dark elf kingdom. I answered their questions about what happened simply.

“I just beat him up and came out.”
“You really beat up the parents everywhere you go.”

Liztina smiled and said that.

The reason he called me was entirely to stick a straw in me. He thought he would gain favor by giving this and that to his powerful son-in-law and use me.

But he was too naive.

Not only did he try to use Claudia, whom he had abandoned a long time ago, but he even treated Claudia like a slave, so it was over.

“Actually, I can guess his intentions from the point of calling me out of the blue now. If I meet him, I have no choice but to beat him up somehow.”
“Is that so? Anyway, this is the third time. With Winia’s family, Karin’s family, and Claudia’s family. It’s funny how this happens. It’s just funny.”
“It’s not funny, it’s a good story. Originally, you have to beat up all the shitty parents.”

Karin said that as if it were obvious.

“Karin is right. You have to beat the shit out of shitty parents for them to listen.”
“Right? Wow, I should have known that a little earlier. Well, it’s not too late for me either, but I do have some regrets about what it would have been like if I had done it sooner.”
“That’s right. You have to beat them up when you have the chance.”

Winia and Karin completely agreed on this point. They were both women who had a lot built up against their parents. In the end, they took revenge with their own hands, but Claudia wasn’t like that.

“Anyway, it’s fine as long as you beat them up in the end. So, sister. How did you feel?”
“Feelings?”
“Yeah.”
“It was really good. Katt beating someone up is always so cool to watch. If you anger Katt, you have to pay the price.”

Certainly, my assault had already reached the level of art. Art assault. The professional term is art violence.

“I really like seeing that side of you.”
“Really, sister.”

Claudia just likes art.

In that way, we continued to move and told them about this incident.

“I don’t understand it either. You abandoned Claudia a long time ago, but you’re trying to use her as if nothing happened.”
“They say that’s common in the desert. Claudia. Explain it to Risha.”

The explanation from earlier continued again.
Risha still didn’t seem to understand.

“Hmm… I guess it’s because it’s the ecology of the dark elves, so I don’t really understand it. So, what are you going to do with your children, our partner?”
“Me?”

There’s only one thing to answer to that.

“Of course, I have to provide them with a life full of love. That’s the duty of a parent.”
“Hehehe, isn’t that a beautiful resolution? Hearing that makes me want to get pregnant.”
“Don’t be impatient. You’ll have so many that you’ll get tired of it. Twenty is the minimum, the minimum.”
“…How far are you going to exploit my uterus?”

Until I die.

“Risha. Is it not possible?”

Then Claudia asked.

“Ah, no. I didn’t say it wasn’t possible…”

Risha, blushing, answered that.
Anyway, everyone has to give birth to at least ten.

“Blackie. You know I’m the first, right?”
“Hehehe, yeah. Of course I know.”
“And if Blackie becomes king, you’ll pass the throne to the first, right?”
“Winia? What kind of picture are you drawing?”
“Just answer me.”
“King… King, huh…”

Personally, if I have about a hundred kids, I plan to pass it on to the one who is most suitable for the king. No matter what, it’s 개오바 쌉탱부랄 to just pass it on because they’re the first.

How did the Three Kingdoms era, where those great heroes were rampant, end? Liu Bei and Cao Cao all had idiot sons.

“Tsk. You’re not even a king yet, what are you talking about?”
“Ah.”

Then Karin pressed my temple.

“Ah, sister. We’re in the middle of an important conversation.”
“Who started it first. And there’s nothing more foolish than passing it on to the first.”

I agree with that too.

“No. There’s that legitimacy, Karin.”
“What legitimacy? Our husband isn’t even legitimate.”

What are you talking about again?

“Um, Father?”
“Yeah? Why, Ari?”
“I don’t know my identity anymore. When you think about it, wasn’t I the first daughter?”
“What are you talking about!!!”
