Chapter 1291 – Capital

“No matter what, the story of arranged marriage ends here.”
“Umm… I’m sorry.”

Einfel continued to express his regret.

“Okay. The story of arranged marriage ends here.”

She said so, soon regaining her cool demeanor.

“Then I’m done with my business. Thank you so much for your time. It was a great time. It was also satisfying.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. I’ve gotten to know you a little better. Oh, one last thing. The royal family is on your side.”
“Hey. Are you on my side?”
“Yes.”

I’ve never had a side
It’s not a good idea to decide this first.

“Anyway, I’m leaving.”
“Good bye.”

Saying that, I opened the door and went outside.

“Oh yeah.”

Tired of being handsome and capable.

No matter how you look at it, Cheonma Kim Katt is a coveted talent. Not only. If anyone sees me, they have no choice but to bow their heads right away. Because I am that perfect.

First of all, I know that Princess Einfel has some scars on her pride her, but I don’t need to worry about it. But the important thing is that she hasn’t given up yet.

Even so, it would be impossible to win my love.

It’s a pity for the princess who has to fulfill her purpose for her, but if I don’t think about it, that’s the end of the story. It’s an arranged marriage. In what era do you mean that such a thing is possible? It was an absurd evil habit and custom.

“Yes! Then! Let me guide you to the next place!”

After I stood there for a while, the attendants who had been waiting on the other side approached me and lowered their heads.

“Oh.”

The next thing you will meet is the famous Karga the Great. I’ve only seen him once after catching Valkyrie the other day, but he was a dignified person.

Following the sword master, the princess. And when the king meets, today’s meeting is over. This is like meeting all the important members of the royal family.

That’s how important it is to me.

I immediately moved along with the attendants.

*           *

The place to hold talks with the king was none other than the king’s palace. The large room was covered with a bright red carpet, and the carpet extended all the way to the stairs in front of me.

At the top of the stairs was a throne.

King Karga sat there and greeted me.

“Welcome to the palace, Kimkat Paladin. I am very happy to have met you like this.”

The process of meeting him wasn’t that complicated. In fact, even the inviter knows how absurd it is to force such troublesome etiquette on me.

Behind him, the sword master lady stood silently. Are you also in charge of almost the king’s personal escort? It can be enough. So it was just the three of us in the palace.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Paladin Kim Kat.”

I bowed my head slightly and introduced myself.
Of course he puts a smile on his face her.

The other side smiled and said hello, so I smiled and said hello.

“Ohhh, your voice is quite beautiful.”
“Yes?”

What?

“One of the virtues of a ruler is such a beautiful voice. He even has a great appearance and a well-trained body like a general. Rogun.”

I wondered what the hell was going on at the sudden bombardment of praise carpets. Still, I could understand the meaning of the great king’s compliment.

Hehe, thank you for the compliment. The Great King is also very manly.”
“I’m glad you said that.”

Whatever it is, it’s my personality, my personality, my beliefs. The royal family would have generally grasped such things. First of all, because I am a famous paladin.

Kind and You also know that you need to be nice to them.

“More than that. Jim still has the undeserved title of great king, so I’m confident that I have the eyes to see people.”

The Great King looked at me with a smiling face and continued talking like an old wise man.

“Behind your back, it’s as if a brilliant halo shines through. It’s like seeing something holy… Or something. I’m not talking empty words. To Jim, it really does seem that way.”

There was a sincere emotion in those eyes, but a halo?

“Ah. You mean this?”

Come to think of it, it was turned on when I came in.
I just wanted to play a little bit.

“It’s an on-off format.”

I turned off the halo that was emanating from behind me.

ㅡPay.

The light faded in an instant.

“?”

The great king, who had hardened his face with a warm smile, expressed his doubts his for a moment. The halo…Was it for real? It was the face of a person who seemed to be thinking this way.

“Look.”

ㅡHwaaaaagh.

When I deploy my power again, a halo bursts out from behind me again. Not only. The heart effect was also in full bloom. I decided to have another drink here.

ㅡHwaaaaagh!

With that, the wonderful wings that were nothing short of pride were deployed. The white burning wings were so detailed that every single feather was embodied.

I can show you this much.

“…”

The great king who was silent for a moment at that amazing phenomenon.

“Heh, heh heh heh…”

They clapped softly and laughed.

“How could such beautiful wings… Oh my God. Amazing. The halo was real. Jim thought it was something that could only be seen by Jim’s eyes.”
“I didn’t mean to mislead you.”
“It’s okay. And it’s true that you, Paladin, are very special. It’s an honor to see your strength as a faithful and righteous Paladin.”

This is true

“I’d also like to thank you.”
“Are you saying thanks?”
“The royal family knows very well that you, Paladin, have captured and killed countless demons, exterminated the infidels who worshiped evil gods, destroyed criminal groups, and hunted powerful monsters. Yes. No. You could already call him a hero.”

You keep putting gold on your real face.

The Great King praised me constantly. Maybe he was genuinely moved. Most people tremble the moment they see my wings. But even a man who has been king for decades is unlikely to do so.

“Anyway, this is the second time I’ve seen it like this, Great King. I saw it once during the last Valkyrie incident. As a reward.”
“You have become even bigger and more valuable than you were back then.
Hehe, of course.”

The great king who spoke seemed very happy. The sword master standing behind him just stood still and watched me.

“Still, I’m really moved. A great hero of this century. I never thought I’d see a man like a warrior like this. In fact, I’ve been waiting for this meeting. Like a boy, I was looking forward to it… Heh heh heh. No, but it’s always nice to see a strong warrior.”
“Ohh. Do you like warriors?”
“That’s right. Especially if it’s a hero like you, I can’t help but like it even more.”

The Great King smiled and stroked his chin.

Anyway, it’s time to get to the point.
Because I deserved a compliment.

The great king said that he might have read the air.

“So… Did the wedding talk with Princess Einfel go well?”
“Are you talking about marriage?”

Progress went well.

“Jim thinks you would be a very good match for his daughter his, Princess Einfel. He is a very beautiful and intelligent child. He would be very good at supporting a hero like you.

Is his own daughter worth that much?

“He also believes that he will be able to rule the eastern territories well. Of course, this is a very sudden proposal, but he thinks it is a right he deserves as a faithful and righteous hero like you.”

Gosh.

What kind of gold is this?

This was the role I was originally playing. Watching the king pour his sincerity like this reminds me of the past. Fuck rice, Kim Katt.

But now I am in a position to be flattered. Even the one called the Great has no choice but to do that to me.

“Thank you for your words, but I refused to talk about marriage.”
“What?”

I feel sorry for the king who painted my face like this, but I kicked off the arranged marriage.

“Thank you, but I declined.”
“Hmm… Can I ask the reason?”

The King’s eyes became serious.

Are you worried that I dumped you because I didn’t like the conditions? There is no need to be anxious. Still, if he were a king, he would have no choice but to be anxious.

“The reason is simple. No matter how good the conditions are, isn’t it an arranged marriage?”
“It’s an arranged marriage… You can almost say that.”
“That’s why I refused. It’s because it’s a marriage without love.”
“What, what? Love?”
“Yes. There is no marriage without love.”
“…”

The great king fiddled with the end of the armrest of his throne for a moment, then briefly looked back and exchanged glances with the sword master.

For some reason, the Sword Master was holding his face with his hand.

“Heh, heh, heh. Love. Love is important. To overlook it. I’m very sorry that this seems rude. Forgive me for being rude.”
Hehe, it wasn’t rude. It could be.”
“As expected, he’s a hero with a really broad heart. But love. Does he really know romance? Heh heh.”
Hehe, you know a lot about romance.”

Because I’m a romantic paradise

“Anyway, it’s a pity that you turned it down.”

King Karga exhaled in genuine regret.

“Ah, of course. Even if it’s not for that reason, we, the Karga royal family, can provide you with a lot of things. Know that. It’s a matter of course for you, a faithful paladin who has served the kingdom up until now.”
“Thank you very much.”

I bowed my head and bowed as I properly bowed.

No matter what, there is no reason to treat someone badly to someone who wants to have a good time with me.

“Is there anything you want? If it’s something like a title or territory, Jim will match it as much as possible.”
“About titles and territories. It’s fine for now. There’s still a lot of work to be done.”
“…What to do.”

Even the king would know about it. First of all, I told Cadia most of the situation. Naturally, Cadia also talked to the royal family to deal with this problem.

“To defeat the infested heretics and the demons who seek out this land. Is that it?”
“Yes. Because there is nothing more important to me now.”

That’s the most important thing.

“What a heroic attitude.”

The Great King laughed and applauded.

“Then, what about after that task is over?”
“It’s going to take some time, so it’s okay to decide right away. Even so, I won’t forget the favor the Great King showed me.”
“Thank you so much for saying that.”

The great king kept talking with the nuance of wanting to give me something. As for the marriage talk, he hasn’t brought it up once since I said no.

The conversation with the Great King ended roughly like that. What should I say? It was a person who showed me a crush without saying anything about sensitive matters.

His face his was smiling, and he seemed to like me very much, but his true meaning his was fully visible to the grown-up Heavenly Horse Kim Katt.

King Karga is just extremely wary of me. It was expressed in such a form.

“There is no need to be afraid.”

I always think about it, but if the kingdom of Karga was something like an evil empire, the harpoon would have been in my hands long ago. However, the kingdom of Karga went beyond the norm and was rather a decent kingdom in its own right.

—Ururu.

The procession I went outside was also very colorful. Numerous attendants clung to me, asking if I was going to eat or if there was anything else I wanted to see, and offered various suggestions, but I cut them all and went back home.

“Have a good day.”
