Chapter 14 – Episode 14- I Will Walk the Path of My Own Tyrant

Why did the master suddenly say he would hold a meeting?
The executives who arrived one after another in the conference room inside the flagship had such a question.

As the Pirate Grand Fleet 〈 The Queens 〉 was formed and grew in size, Grid held regular meetings.
Held once a week.
Usually, the purpose of a meeting is to set various agendas and collect various opinions.

‘We attack this island.’

‘Operation in three days. Please complete all preparations before the start date.’

‘Those who fail will be beheaded, so know that.’

In fact, it was a daily routine for the grid to unilaterally notify orders.
No objection was raised, and it was taken immediately the moment it was raised.
The executive officer who was filmed disappears without a rumor that day, and no one knows where he disappeared.
Even if they know, no one will tell the truth.

Because I knew firsthand what it would be like to mess around with the owner.
So everyone had no choice but to give up.

“What agenda are we going to discuss today?”
“I hope you don’t say the disbanding of the fleet. We’ve all been wanted for a long time.”
“You’re not saying you’re going to give everything to that bitch, are you?”

This meeting has been held for a very long time.
It was a meeting held after about three weeks had passed since Grid almost died from being poisoned by Sua, the head of the Nine Tailed Fox.

Three weeks was the worst time for executives.

Isn’t the master who woke up suddenly staying close to the attempted assassination, saying that he would become friendly with the nine-tailed foxes?
Doesn’t he unilaterally stop fighting against the Beast Alliance, saying he has no intention of invading any more?
Aren’t they trying to scrap the plan to restore the nine-tailed fox, which was carried out to use it as a force for Queens?
They may even hand over our confidential information, but aren’t they recklessly trying to give freedom to the nine-tailed foxes?

The officials couldn’t understand why they wanted to sprinkle ashes on the finished rice.
Up until now, the executives had not disputed the master’s decision, but this time, they could not tolerate it.
So, through his aides, Iris and Atria, I pleaded with him not to undo what we have done so far.

Thanks to that advice, the freedom given to the nine-tailed foxes was somewhat restricted, allowing them to relax, but the officers were not vigilant.

Because the master can act on a whim at any time.
Everyone was worried that the whim would not happen at today’s meeting.

“Has everyone gathered?”

As the low-pitched voice resounded through the meeting room, the whispering executives shut up all at once.

“Hasn’t anyone been left out?”

A black-haired man in a worn-out black military uniform stepped onto the stage.

Grid is their master.
As the owner of the pirate fleet, he would have thought that the clothes he would wear would be flashy, but that wasn’t the case.
His mother, Lau Fei, always wears a torn military uniform as a reminder not to forget her grace.

Unlike his mother’s teaching to give love, Grid teaches him mercilessly.

“Before the meeting begins, I have something to tell you guys.”

What should I say? What is it? Are you planning a new operation?
Or purging nine tail foxes? Public execution of attempted assassination Sua?

Grid, no, the words that came out of Jeong Kang-rim’s mouth were truly shocking.

“Sorry.”

I bowed my back at a right angle of 90 degrees and apologized.

“I’m really sorry that I didn’t take into account your anxiety and went ahead with my own way.”

The executives widened their eyes at the fact that such a sound came out of the owner’s mouth.
I was so surprised that it even came out with a murmur.

“Hey, does this make sense? Master, did you apologize?”
“What happened? Did the poison make you weird?”
“Isn’t this a dream? I didn’t hear anything wrong, did I?”

Everyone was shocked To think that the master, who was a single person, apologized to them.
A man who had never once said sorry, sorry, put it in his mouth.
Didn’t the world turn upside down for a moment, everyone almost thought that.

“We will make sure this doesn’t happen in the future.”

After briefly apologizing, Jeong Gang-rim raised his head.
And he asked

“Ask me if you have any questions.”

At that, everyone was silent.

There is no way I can say
I’ve heard stories of executives who raised objections and were purged, but who would?
No matter how much it was an order, it was impossible to follow the order.
Advent looked around, but no one raised a hand.

No, there was

“Gee, I have a question.”

She was a woman who had just become an executive. Her close friends tried to stop her by saying, ‘You crazy bitch, are you crazy about wanting to die?’, But it was too late.
Because Kang-rim’s gaze was fixed on her.

“Yes, ask.”
“Why did Suara give affection to the nine-tailed fox? That woman is the one who tried to kill the master twice. Why did she like such a woman?”
“That’s a good question.”

Kang-lim took a deep breath for a moment, then she replied.

“I had a dream.”
“… A dream?”
“Yes, I dreamed that we were doomed.”

With the word dream, Advent talked about the ending of 〈 The Queens 〉.

“I had a nightmare of being defeated horribly right before my dream came true.”

“You all met death, and I also had the misfortune of being torn apart and sticking on a skewer.”

The executives murmured, “We are going to ruin?”
Kang-rim continued to talk.

“When I saw that, I thought it had to be different. If things don’t change from now on, there will only be a terrible ending.”
“So, is Sua keeping the nine-tailed fox by her side?”
“Okay.”

Advent affirmed.

“She thought that by making Sua on our side, she would be able to change the doomed future.”

However, Kang-rim was out of luck.

“It was an illusion.”

She was a fool who judged that if she could live a good life even now, she would be fine.

“We already have blood on our hands,” She said. It is so buried that it cannot be erased.”

“I didn’t even realize that their resentment toward us was very deep.”

“Forgetting that, I tried to go the exact opposite way. I was so complacent that I would not fail, so I ignored you and enforced it.”

“As a result of doing so, I almost lost my life.”

Then, the executive who threw the question asked.

“What are you going to do now?”
“Return to original state.”

I know it’s wrong, so I put it back.
If Gridra can’t get out of her life, she decides to live it.
He decided to accept the life of a tyrant that Grid had hoped for.

Step,

“Instead, I will use a new method from now on.”

I will become a tyrant different from the grid.
I will become a tyrant who lives for desire, not a merciless bloody tyrant.

That was the path Jung Kang-rim chose.

“First of all…”

Kang-rim talked about what he would do in the future and what kind of changes he would have.

●●●

“The response is greater than expected?”

Listening to Advent, Talia looked around.

“Is that person the real owner? I don’t think so.”
“I don’t know why, but Master wouldn’t say something like that casually.”
“Are we being treated right now? Is that so?”

The response was fine.
All executives actively supported the policy that Kang-rim put forward.
The policy, which is the same as before, but also combines mercy, received a great response.

“Isn’t that obvious? Until now, we’ve been treated like toys.”

The original owner was cold-blooded himself.
He had no mercy, not even a grain of sand.
He was the demon king himself who would kill anyone if he was wrong.
No matter how favored they were, they could die at any moment, so they had to shudder all the time.
Talia, Iris, and even Atria were afraid.

But Advent was different.

“To make all of us wives? The old owner would never have said it.”

You are slaves A slave, but not a thing. From now on, I will take you as my wives.
I will treat all of you equally, so treat yourself comfortably from now on.
You can call me by name if you want.

That word alone was unconventional.
It was to the point of being asked what the hell had happened to the tyrannical master, and that perhaps he had gotten worse because of being poisoned.

“I consider myself lucky.”

Atria was greatly relieved to have such a policy.

“Really? In fact, Grid is as good as dead, isn’t it?”
“That… It’s a pity.”

Atria did not deny Talia’s words.

“Because Grid’s soul was absorbed into the soul of a stranger.”

If Grid’s soul was strong, it would have been Advent to be absorbed.
He would have reigned as ruthless tyrant as before.

However, the black-haired man standing there is Advent.
Advent is proof that it was stronger than Grid.
Although he himself was an ordinary human being, his strength was proven just by taking over Grid’s body.

Thanks to that, The Queens were able to breathe again, but Atria felt a bit sorry.
She expected that she would meet her end someday, but Atria did not expect that she would disappear in this way, in exchange for saving her life.

“I’m fine though.”

Grid is gone, but he’s not dead.

“Because he is also the master we must serve.”

Because Grid is still alive and well on the stage, the owner of Jeong Gang-rim.
So Atria had no intention of being sad.

She sincerely hoped that she would continue to fight for us.

“I will work hard. You?”
“Of course you should.”

Thalia didn’t deny it.

“At least better than before.”

In the past, I was afraid of when my neck would run away. Talia was afraid of how she would look at her if the experiment failed, whether she would be purged out of disappointment, or whether she would be killed for some absurd reason.

Now I don’t have to suffer from that.
Now that it’s gone, you’ll be able to proceed with your research in peace.
You won’t have to suffer from the fear of dying even if you fail.

As long as she didn’t interfere with her research, Talia was determined to do anything for Advent.

“It’s a bit difficult…”

Iris, who was sitting next to Talia, put on a troubled expression.

“Catch them alive as much as possible. Could that be possible…”
“Why do you think the world’s assault captain can’t even do that?”

Talia asked teasingly.

“If you can’t do it, why don’t you step down as commander-in-chief?”
“Yes, I can be your pet dog if you want.”

Atria sympathized with Talia.

“A knight who always breastfeeds me. Maybe the current master will welcome you.”
“Hey! A joke like that…”

While the three chatted, Kang-rim finished his speech.

“The story ends here.”

Schedule is over.
Now it’s time to move on to the next schedule.

“I know you guys have a lot piled up.”

It goes differently than Grid, who always had a cold relationship with her executives.
It melts the ice and makes the buds bloom.
What is the way to do that? Advent knew.

“Since I only wore Sua, I couldn’t do it even if everyone wanted to, right?”

At that, the officers nodded their heads.

“Then come.”

Advent declared.

“I will satisfy everyone in this room, so come in your turn.”

At that, the officials were taken aback.
