Chapter 1684 – [A Guide for Families Who Travel Across Dimensions]

First, thanks to King Seoho, we were able to live comfortably in the magnificent palace. They even provided an entire villa for guests.

And the meal was good too. However, since Eden eats only a small amount, the royal chefs will have a hard time, but it is not a big deal.

At the same time, people flocked to meet us and try to line us up. Not only nobles from the West Protectorate, but also diplomats from other countries visited.

“We at Dongjukguk are ready to treat you with honor. First, we can give you a magnificent mansion in the best part of the capital, and Your Majesty has promised to give you the next position.”

“You make a good suggestion. I will think about it positively.”

“Thank you, and I look forward to hearing good news!!!”

Maybe other countries do that out of shock. In a world where demonic beasts are invading the capital, an outstanding swordsman is a talent that must be recruited.

I feel bad when I see the West Lake Bureau openly confronting someone from overseas like that, but there’s nothing they can do about it. Aside from the fact that I captured the White Tiger Demon Beast, the state of the West Tiger State was not good, so there had to be assistance from other countries.

The situation is a bit close just with our support, but in the end, we are the ones who will leave… I don’t know if this country will fall if we leave.

Anyway, that is why the King of West Lake allowed me to meet with nobles from other countries in exchange for a certain amount of support. That means you’re in no position to choose between cold and hot food.

“On the other hand, there may be calculations that we won’t be let off easily.”

“There are few places that will treat you as well as the country that saved you from a crisis. You may be a rolling stone from somewhere else, but here you are a hero.”

“Well, you two are smart, so it’s okay if you pretend to make an analogy.”

Let’s just skip over that part, and for now, our goal of finding the culprit was somewhat fruitful.

I decided to search for the biggest suspect, Princess Baekmyeon, for whom I had no physical evidence and only my intuition, and there was quite an interesting anecdote.

“The current King of Seoho and the Queen tried to have a daughter, but she only gave birth to two sons, and because of that, the Queen gave her a separate tribute, and what she got was Princess Baekmyeon.”

“… I think I’ve heard a prologue to an old story like this before somewhere? Before the Fox Sister?”

“The opponent is also a fox, so I guess I’ll get hit roughly.”

And when I looked into the villa where Princess Baekmyeon was staying and the person with the suspicious presence that I sensed through my senses, I found that they were staying in the same place. The circumstances and a certain amount of physical evidence have been secured.

Even if Princess Baekmyeon is not the culprit, there are criminals around her. Of course, my intuition almost told me that Princess Baekmyeon was the culprit.

“I have to meet Princess Baekmyeon first.”

“Wait a minute, I’ll contact you separately.”

“What kind of communication? Uh, Eden, you’re not trying to tell your mother?!?!? You’re not even trying to meet for the purpose of an arranged marriage in the first place?!?!”

“I’m not trying to contact my mom.”

“Then what is it?”

“There is something like that. I think I might need it.”

What are you thinking… I hope it’s not strange.

Anyway, I personally requested a meeting with Princess Baekmyeon. I have considered refusing it myself, so I cannot refuse it because I spoke separately through the royal family.

The three characters who captured the white tiger were me, Eden, and Mary. It is difficult to marry Eden and Mary because of her virginity, so even if she is married, it is beneficial for her to have a relationship with the royal family.

So at least my request cannot be rejected. To be precise, the request between me and Princess Baekmyeon cannot be rejected no matter what.

“Haha!!! It’s the right choice. Princess Baekmyeon is so beautiful that she was given the name Baekmyeon (百面).”

“Yes, I see.”

Not just a princess, but a precious princess? If you listen to the old story, she was a daughter who was given to a woman because she wanted to have a daughter, so from that perspective, she was such a precious daughter.

At least I had many children, but Eden was precious to me. Moreover, if you have two sons, it is inevitable that having one daughter is precious.

On the other hand, I could see that giving him such a daughter if he caught the white tiger’s beast was a great reward for the King of Seoho. If I were in a similar situation, I would think that I was gathering allies through an arranged marriage while I felt like I was fighting three absolute beings.

Anyway, I was able to face Princess White Face alone. And my first impression was that she was quite beautiful.

Here, she has white skin without any blemishes, which is rare even for royalty, and she is also beautiful. Not only that, but her appearance is also beautiful, so it seems like the name princess is not for nothing.

“Nice to meet you, Gapsa Choi. My name is Princess Seo Joo-hee, White Face Princess.”

“Oh, yes.”

And I was able to recognize it the moment I encountered it.

This baby, no two-year fox. This is the moment when the owner of the suspicious presence I sensed is revealed.

Now that the situation is clear, the next step is to stop. However, unless you are a complete mess, you should avoid blatantly beating up the princess. It’s not like I crossed the line or made a mistake, but if I do that, I won’t be able to come here again.

As if she didn’t know my evil thoughts, Princess Baekmyeon started laughing and flirting.

“I was worried that he might be a bit scary because he caught the white tiger, but he turns out to be more attractive than I thought.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, I thought a lot about what kind of person he was, but I think he was better than that.”

It’s not a lie. However, I felt like he was hiding something. As the saying goes, to be good at lying, you have to mix 9 truths and 1 lie, and so did she.

I guess that’s what I thought because I already knew it was suspicious from the beginning, but my intuition told me so, so I’ve said it all.

And…

“Hmm?”

“Why are you doing that?”

“No, it’s nothing. I also never knew the princess was such a beautiful person.”

“When you say that, I don’t know what to do.”

I felt something unpleasant. At a glance, it’s a charm-type ability? Suddenly, I think it’s true because it feels similar to the self-fantasy used by the reincarnated Kkotbaemnyeon who seduced my older brother, who was the crown prince in his past life.

Just as Seo Mu has the ability to run on water, she also seems to have that ability. Even if they are demonic beasts, they end up being similar at the end…

When I acted as if my ability was moderately effective, Princess Baekmyeon spent time talking to me with friendly eyes. After she returned to the villa, she told Eden and Mary a story about the White Face Princess.

“She’s not like a fox, she’s a real fox. What are you going to do, Dad?”

“First, we need to secure clearer evidence and aim for timing. If we just kill them, we’ll get away.”

If you kill the criminal just because you know him, the problem becomes bigger. Moreover, there are issues that need to be considered more deeply.

“If she was a princess, she would have problems with her movement, and if she was inside Jungyang, how would she attract the white tiger demon beast that lived outside of it? I think there must be a medium for it.”

“I thought that too.”

Princess Baekmyeon had the ability to charm. But she doesn’t think that will work against demons or people like that.

It’s like there’s no point in seducing her crazy guy. Do you think charm will work when you can’t see anything? Even if Gyeonggukjisaeok shows cuteness naked, I will tear him apart equally, and the demonic beast won’t be much different.

So, there is something that deliberately led the demonic beast to Jungyang. The first thing to do is find out what it is. Because it is the most important physical evidence.

“Wait a minute, let me search. Uhm…”

Eden investigates through Gaia Records. No matter how much she hides, if she was born on this star, she cannot avoid Gaia records, so it is easy to find her. It just takes some time because I don’t know exactly what to look for.

Looking at that, Mary muttered as if she was jealous.

“Every time I look at Gaia Records, I envy how convenient it is. Wizards are naturally bad at using it.”

“From Gaia’s point of view, wizards will not like it because they twist the existing laws and change them to their own will. It would be better if they were unmanned, at least.”

To use Gaia records, you must receive access permission from Gaia. Since Eden is under the protection of the Absolute Being of nature and the Nature Lord, who is no different from Gaia’s highest level, no Gaia can refuse and gives permission, so it is nothing short of a free pass.

If you have a certain level of ability and intelligence, you can access Gaia Records, but it is difficult for wizards. A martial artist, at best, accepts a nature keeper and makes it his inner strength, and even if he destroys something, it does not change the basic principles of the world, but a wizard is different.

What should I say, if a warrior becomes stronger by adapting to the system, then a wizard is someone who changes the code of the system? It feels roughly like that.

“If you modify someone else’s code as you wish, you won’t have anything to say even if the pot breaks. I understand why Gaia hates wizards.”

“You’ve never even coded.”

“Mom would say that. Dad wouldn’t be upset if he intervened and ruined the dish by adding more and more to it since he’s the chef.”

“I just have to break the pot.”

“Look.”

“Is my earthen pot breaking?!?!”

Anyway, there was success. Eden discovered the reason why the white tiger demon attacked Jungyang. The cause was… A carpet made of leather.

It’s not just a carpet. Because it was a carpet made of tiger skin. Why are there leather carpets that are made by killing wild animals, spreading them on the floor, and decorating them? It has little practicality and is just for show of luxury.

“The tiger on that leather carpet was the cub of the white tiger beast.”

“I just need to know.”

The white tiger beast must have been thinking of anger or revenge against those who captured its cub. So he would have become a witch.

Although he lost his reason after becoming a witch, it is not uncommon for him to be swayed by one extreme emotion. Rather, it was not uncommon to see demons who remembered at least one important goal even if they went crazy with coinage.

That’s why he attacked Jungyang. The hatred of parents who lost their children is beyond imagination, and he used that as his driving force to become such a powerful demon.

“We found the physical evidence, so all that’s left is George’s work.”

“When and what are you going to do? Just openly reveal that George is a fox and then put it to rest?”

“That’s the problem…”

Unaware of this evil thought that would threaten her, the White-faced Princess actually gave us a chance. Late that evening, while I was wondering how to catch the fox, Princess Baekmyeon sent her letter and called me to her place.

Secretly, without telling anyone. Considering that the person who delivered the letter was one of the maids I saw when I went to see the princess during the day, she was probably real and had a purpose… So there was a strong possibility that it was a trap.

This is quite a problem. Anyway, it’s not a good thing for a woman to have a man in her house at night. Moreover, if you are in a position like a princess, virginity is especially important.

Well, considering our purpose, this is actually a good opportunity. If we were to meet in secret, we would definitely meet in a place where no one could see us, so it would be easy for us to catch that fox.

“This is how you create opportunities.”

“You can refuse, but they will think that the charm ability has worked on the devil…”

“Dad, be careful with your liver and cock!!!!”

“Even if it’s the liver, what kind of daughter would tell her dad to be careful about that?!”

“Here!!!!!”

“I’m so proud!!!!”

Eden is a virgin that Seomu likes only for her body, but her words and actions are… Bitter. I’ll kill you Rikuhachi… No, God-RuriRuri!!!!

Still, she couldn’t miss out on such a great opportunity, so she decided to make a move. I prepared to head to a building outside the villa where Princess Baekmyeon had asked to meet, and thought about other things.

That’s the worst case. They are trying to kill me by falsely accusing me of trying to secretly attack Princess Baekmyeon.

I caught a white tiger demon that the country couldn’t do anything about, and I think it would be a bit unreasonable to antagonize such a magician, but the white-faced princess had the ability to charm. Let’s think about how the Crown Prince’s older brother, who was one of the top candidates for the throne with similar abilities in his previous life, failed and ended up becoming a priest.

Originally, mental abilities were troublesome and scary. So, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, the absolute ruler of fate… Ah, this is a bit of a story. Anyway.

I headed to the place where Princess Baekmyeon asked me to meet. Princess Baekmyeon was preparing to welcome me in a small building with only about three or five people at most, even though there would have been at least three guards or attendants.

“Please go in, the princess is waiting for you.”

Perhaps this person is also a human being controlled by the White-faced Princess through charm, so in that sense, he can be trusted. Behavior is visible.

When I entered the building, Princess Baekmyeon, who had even made her bed and lit a strange incense, was waiting for me. She wasn’t completely naked, but she was only wearing clothes that were thin enough to reveal the curves of her body.

“Welcome, Master Choi.”

“No, princess. What is this?”

“You’ll know when you see it. Actually, I’m only saying this now, but the moment I first saw Gapsa, I fell in love at first sight.”

… Huh? What. Why isn’t my intuition responding? Is it true that I fell in love with you?

But it’s a meaningless story. Love at first sight is quite romantic, but the feeling of love is something that is built up and confirmed over time. And I have no intention of accepting it.

“Princess, I am a married man with a wife.”

“It doesn’t matter. Even if I become a concubine, I want to continue with Gapsa. So…”

The White-faced Princess approached me and leaned against my chest, using her charm powers to their full potential. Any decent human being would not have been able to resist her and would have become a slave to her faithful love.

To me, it goes without saying that it’s nagging, but it doesn’t really work. It’s time to get rid of it and catch the fox… Huh?

Damn it!!!!

At that time, behind the White Face Princess, her dimension split apart and someone’s hand grabbed her hair. I did something out of nowhere and the person who appeared was none other than Korma.

“Hey, you bitch!!! How dare you touch His Highness?”

“Kaaaaat?!?!?!”

“Even dream demons don’t touch their partner’s beloved lover, and they don’t even know what’s moral!!!!”

No, why is there a korma there?!?! Oh, could it be that the person Eden contacted was Korma!!!!

When I think about it, even though I’m a Dream Giant now, Korma, who came from a monster, and the fox who eats energy seem to be similar. Because it’s the same as absorbing it.

… But this is my first time seeing Korma angry. You were hiding that kind of personality.

From now on, if possible, I will try to avoid doing anything that will make Korma angry. Honestly, I’m a little scared.
