Chapter 678 – Hospitality (1)

A four-wheeled carriage quietly crosses the shore.

– Thump, thump.

The sound of footsteps meshing at the same time without an inch of deviation. Boots made of black iron shook the ground lightly.
In front of the three heads of the wagon decorated with various luxury items, legionnaires gathered in an arrow shape to escort us, exuding a calm charisma.

Monarch.

I never thought I would realize the place I stayed in in the old days in this way.
Aori and Taeyang were also looking around inside the carriage with dumbfounded faces.

“When will you arrive?”
“Once you cross this shore, it will be soon. Your majesty.”

Count Rex, who rode the horse himself, answered honestly.

“When we arrive at the castle, Her Majesty and Princess Aori… And for the sake of my companion, I plan to dine with the subjects under His Majesty’s care from now on.”
“If it’s a subject, is there even a village? What is the number?”
“Of course. This whole world is the world left behind by the former king. The rivers, the mountains, and the minerals that come out of them too. The number of heads is a little less than 1, but… There will be more in other towers.”

They said that most of the civilians who cooperated with King Mokryeong in the human world were purged.
Perhaps because of that, the number was smaller than expected.
From what I can see, from the lifestyle to the construction method, it seems that it has not yet escaped from the old days.

‘Even though it’s magic almighty after all.’

It was already common knowledge in this world that the buildings of the Middle Ages and Modern Times were not inferior to those of modern times.
What sets it apart is magic. Depending on the concentration of mana flowing in the air, the level of what he can speak varies.

Just look at the tower built in this era.
The academy often builds artificial dungeons, but the construction of towers and dungeons of this scale was impossible even with modern technology.

“Do you have any other questions?”

At Rex’s question, I lowered my eyes and looked at the nobleman nearby.

Unlike the corps, which thoroughly separated their gaze, the nobles glanced this way as if they were slightly wary.
However, what I was curious about was not them, but the spearman wearing the helmet that guarded my front.

Although he was smaller than other male legionnaires, his atmosphere was different.
It was shocking to see him holding a halberd as big as his body.

“Who is that woman? When I saw her earlier, the magical power she put on her armor was amazing.”
“Ah… You mean the corps commander.”

I asked knowingly.
Commander of the 1st Corps.

Rex answered, raising her eyebrows and clearing her throat proudly.

“Dieffenbachia. The commander of the corps guarding the Tower of Time… It is the sharpest spear of the previous king.”

Even when I saw it earlier, it looked sharp and prickly.
He’s holding a polearm, but a sharp spear is just a rhetorical expression.
In any case, it was clear that she was the most powerful person in this fortress.

‘It’s a woman.’

The commander of the corps is a woman.
It was also the woman who made me suffer.

If so, how many times had that woman been harassed by the king’s hand?
It was certain that the sex ratio of the kingdom founded by King Mokryeong was as unbalanced as mine.

I’m staring at Dieffenbachia. Her sun watching her with me nudged her on my shoulder.
Then the sun whispered in my ear.

“Diffenbachia… It’s not a tree. Older brother.”
“… Okay?”
“Yes. It’s a plant. The language of flowers is borderline… But the curious thing is, that corps commander is definitely a wooden man.”

Dieffenbachia. I didn’t recognize it because it was an unfamiliar name, but thanks to Taeyang’s knowledge, I was able to understand something strange.

Flower. Plant.
That system is a characteristic that can only be seen in flowers. In terms of magical properties, it shows a big difference from wooden people.
However, Dieffenbachia did not feel the unpleasant magical power unique to Flowers.
Besides, she has a magic attribute of the pastor.

“Rex.”
“… I don’t know that either, Your Majesty.”

Even Rex tilted his head, as if he was not sure about this.

But maybe someday you’ll find out
After spending a little more time lying on the backrest, I heard the sound of a noisy person from afar.

-Purrureung.

The preceding words cry.

The artificial sun flashed, and a large village appeared.

“We have arrived, Your Majesty.”

“Scent!”

After Aori’s exclamation, goose bumps ran over her skin as she felt the realization of her title.

A huge wall surrounds it. There are countless buildings that can be seen inside.
She had seen it once.
When I met Venice while clearing a dungeon a long time ago.
The village at that time also had a style similar to that of the buildings in the castle.

“Brother, if… If you lead your subjects out of the tower, you should prioritize adapting to the modern style.”

Immediately after Taeyang’s worried words, a loud bell rang out with all its might, all the way to the outside of the castle.

-Thump! Thud!!

Smells of people
Not the dry scent of wooden people, but the friendly scent of people living there.

Bread is baked, horses gallop, and wizards with paper bags quickly go door to door delivering something.

The children are laughing and enjoying the era of peace.
The old people stare at the wagon outside the castle and open their eyes wide.
Tables spread out along the boulevard.
From the entrance of the castle to the palace, people gathered in one place and were finishing preparations for the festival.

─ I’m watching well, Matei. His Majesty is coming to lead us.
─Really, really? That King of Mokyeong!? Aww!!

At that point, I recalled the conversation I had with the King of Trees.

【 The plan I said will always be… Only for seniors Killing or not is up to you. At least they are really waiting for you. 】

Expectation.
People’s expectations make the back of your neck thrill.

Aori and Taeyang must have felt that as well.
Place of king.
Unlike the outside, what kind of existence am I considered here.

“Your majesty!”
“The prophecy has come true!! Hurray!!!!”

And.
What kind of world did the former king, who had not yet been destroyed, dream of?
Even after it was destroyed, how terribly he cared for his own people.

I knew it just because I heard it. The fact that I saw with my eyes becomes a shocking stimulation and my head hurts.

코찔찔이 아이들도, 각자의 기술을 배우는 학생들도, 막연한 전설을 믿어온 젊은이도, 전설을 포기한 중년의 기술자도.
Finally, even the old humans who were waiting for the next king.

‘…’

– Sweep.

As we timidly raise our hands, cheers grow in waves across the street.

“Older brother.”

Have you ever received this expectation from the public? .
I stopped moving and turned my old work.

The escape life started as soon as the stigma was taken.
Killing a lot of strict people and the false rumors for me, the false rumors, were finally covered with truth.

I can hear this too.
Every time, a needle stuck in a corner of the chest.
Is it worth hearing this?
Right now, I tried to kill Saku, who called me a friend.
I just…

“… King? “

The eroded spirit was broken by Aori’s words.

Strict worry. I have always been self -compassion.
It was sometimes like this.

Aori, who is nervous and excited, looks at her head. I stroked Aori’s head.

“What are you worried about?”
“I slept.”
“… Are you asleep?! “

King Mok -ryeong thought he was a crazy man who spread his own power and power.
His image changed slightly.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

The long festival proceeded enough to be drunk on the streets, but no crime occurred except for a small fight.

Humans who are united under the king have desires.
The pockets of the drunkards on the side of the road have always been the same unless they forget.

I lost my belongings, so all the citizens near them helped me. The thorough citizenship was a rare sight for Aori.

– Clap.

Rex, who came into the room, said he was really welcoming.

“Princess degradation. Welcome to come back. “

Lee Si -heon and the sun return to their assigned rooms, and Aori is led to the wife’s room.

“How is your clothes?”
“… My chest is tight. “
“Ah. Sorry. I will prepare more generous clothes. “
“… Huh.”

Dress.
She has a wonderful dress that she couldn’t even dream.
It was so clean that the bare meat that touched the dress was itchy.

‘응.’

The extreme hospitality that was made today has surpassed Aori’s thoughts.

She was always hard to adapt to Aori, who had always lived in her lives and scrubbing. When she only adapted one, the other had her head.

“I heard from the Duke, and I heard that Golden Dilissus was very frugal and beautiful. If you have a chance, I want to hear his story. “
“…”
“Oh, you don’t have to say. Lowering.”
“Later.”

I don’t want to say. If you announce that her body has become very dirty, she’s going to feel rejected.

‘I am… It doesn’t matter. ‘

This dirty body could damage the king. No matter how much she said, her clean body would be good for the aristocrats.
Aori closed her mouth tightly and let out an unstable breath.

Aori gripped the front of her dress that was about to tear.
Even though she is short and the silk is dragging on her feet, her breasts stand out exceptionally.

Rex continued, thinking that he would have to fix the dress right away, even tonight.

“You heard the story from Engahero-nim.”
“… Huh. I want to be betrothed to the king. But people really liked the king.”
“That’s because the people in the city only heard part of the prophecy. Your Majesty is a wonderful and strong person even to me… Because the previous king prophesied that it might be somewhat dangerous.”
“Absolutely not. The King won’t betray you.”

As Aori raised her voice, Rex took a step back and corrected his words.

“… It’s a prophecy anyway. I believe in you too. In any case, if the former king’s bloodline, Lady Aori, forms a bond with His Majesty, the other servants will follow without a word.”
“…”
“Did you hear that far?”
“Huh.”

The ceremony is a week later.

“It looks good to hold the ceremony after adjusting to life in the castle a bit more. One week later.”
“Really, with the King… ?”
“Do you like it?”

Aori brought his arms together and buried his mouth and nose there.
The silicone-covered human arm is invisible on the outside, but it is very different from human flesh.

In particular, Aori possesses enough genes that the previous king could surpass them.
The touch of the limbs, which only imitated humans, was very awkward for Aori.

“… The King.”

Aori’s favorite king.
He always tries to play the part of the family he lost.

Dad, even if not. Brother.
Taeyang, the second older brother, is a bit silly.
Both of them are my favorite family in the world.

‘The king said there were no families in this world… If he had a younger brother, he would have been a good older brother.’

Treated like a sister
He wasn’t bad at being petted.
Rather, is it because of the body that has been treated too harshly? Tickling emotions that are treated with care will be remembered even the moment of death.

“Actually… I like it the way it is.”

I like this place, which is different from others.
She makes a dirty joke and sticks her tongue out and accepts it.
She wants to be loved all the time as an immature younger sister.

So, in fact, I didn’t want to get engaged, which the king didn’t want.
Sincerely.

“… It’s just a contract anyway. After that, poor Aori can do whatever he wants.”

Aori nodded her head.
Okay. It is a verbal promise and ritual. Just stand in front of everyone for a moment and hug them tightly.
At that level, even the King wouldn’t be disappointed, Aori laughed.

“I will just go. Let’s talk about it tomorrow too. Good night.”
“Who is the king?”
“Your Majesty is planning to spend an evening similar to the previous king’s schedule. Therefore… You’re going to spend the night with the prettiest woman elected in town. It was also to replenish His Majesty’s strength, so he readily agreed.”

Oh… Is this the offering?
Every night, they take turns eating the beauties of the world.

Aori’s eyes sparkled.

“Go ahead.”
“I knew.”

May the king have a good day.
Aori thought deeply as she lay on the unfamiliar extra-large bed.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

It’s ridiculous.

“Name.”
“Oh, it’s a marshmallow…”

Your name is so sweet.
So how old are you?

“For this year, so. One, two, three. Four… Fifteen… This.”
“Ah, is that so?”

I hoped to count my fingers.
The little boy, who had spread his fingers one by one with a hand that hadn’t even lost its breasts, hesitated to reveal his age.

Cute. I want to bite her after thinking about our Shiba.
The problem is that a bone with no blood on its head came to attend the night.

I let out a deep breath as I looked at the white little boy in front of me.

“… Get out.”
