Chapter 1748 – [Storm Team’s □□]

The Queen of the North Sea Kingdom was quite a beauty. She is not just a noble lady from a noble family, but a woman with a healthy appearance. In fact, she has more vitality than most men.

He is roughly in his early thirties. However, he looks younger than his age, so he appears to be in his late 20s. Because she was in her prime, she seemed to be passionate about government affairs.

The fact that she has maintained her position as queen with real power at this age is proof of her ability. Usually, if women’s human rights are not developed, there are limits to the power a woman can have, and if her queen is ruling, she will definitely aim to take her husband’s place.

It’s like a Cinderella complex. Just as a woman seeks to turn things around by becoming a prince on a white horse, it is also worth considering for a man to marry her queen and sit on the throne of a king.

“Thank you for your hospitality, Your Majesty. They say that the White Tiger Gapsa is the worst.”

“I’ve heard a lot of stories. They defeated the white tiger demon that was threatening the Western Tiger Kingdom and captured and skinned the white bear demon that was infamous in the south. What’s more, it’s amazing that they captured more than one demon that came to the north.”

“That’s too much praise.”

“First, I prepared a banquet. Let’s rest comfortably, and then we’ll talk about the details later.”

As it was our first meeting, we greeted each other appropriately and were shown where we would be staying in the separate palace. It was a luxurious place, and it was nice and warm because it had something similar to an ondol.

But to use firewood in a place like this, you would need a lot of firewood. I was wondering what to do, but they said they use the shell of a divine beast called a volcanic turtle brought in from Dongjukguk. It is said to be a precious item in the Northern Sea Kingdom because it emits heat when used alone.

“Oh, Dad. Have you seen the queen’s eyes? I thought she was going to eat you, Dad?”

“Daddy knows, so don’t say it out loud… Well, I expected it to be a princess, but it’s a bit surprising that the queen herself would do something like that.”

“I’m not really interested, so I don’t know much about this area, so I can’t judge anything. Should I ask you a little bit?”

“Ah, Mary. Please do me a favor.”

I’m not interested in the politics of the part of the world we live on, so what’s wrong with this part? Rather, I was drawing attention because it was bothersome to cling to me more, so I needed to gather information because I didn’t know what the situation was and what kind of person the queen was.

Then Mary stepped forward and quietly walked around to wait on us… And came after hearing various stories from the watchers.

“First of all, the queen is a widow.”

“If her husband had been alive and well, she wouldn’t have looked at him like that. So?”

“Her husband, the former king, is all hissed, but she is the queen…”

“They say there was an assassination or something?”

“No, I’m talking about fortune.”

“I went there happily.”

“Why is Dad nodding his head there?”

“Eden, if you’d rather die, it’s not bad to be a fortune-teller.”

“I have to tell Korma’s mom and Lulu.”

“Ah!!!!! Don’t take out the cheat key there!!!!!”

Anyway, when you look at the queen, you can understand that her husband died from a bad accident. Looking at it, it looks like she’s a bit different from Cheonma or Ana, but she’s a woman’s wife and looks like she’s going to suck out a man’s energy.

However, the good news is that there is one prince and one princess. I don’t know about the princess, but if nothing else happens, the prince will be the heir, so there is no immediate succession issue, but the nobles are saying various things.

That’s why the queen is targeting me. By making me her grand duke, she will infuse power and good blood into the royal family, and she can further expand her power while retaining real power, and she will also get a great husband… It is a situation where there is nothing but gain.

“But I’m a married man!!!!”

“I’m guessing he’s divorced. Honestly, I don’t know because I didn’t go around with the witch.”

“These bastards are treating my perfectly fine mother as if she’s dead!!!!!”

“You’re so upset as if you just heard a pad lip, Eden. To be honest, it’s similar to a pad lip.”

The Queen’s intentions are vaguely understandable, but it is impossible to comply with them. I don’t like arranged marriages in the first place.

Often, when you are born into a noble or royal family, if you are asked to get a fiancé or an arranged marriage, they will beat you up for living a quiet life, beat you up, or just throw you away. But what’s more, if you remarry a widow, then you won’t be able to see Zion.

“There are so many mothers and candidates for motherhood.”

“At least it’s because they love each other. The moment power, profit, or money come in between them, it becomes impure.”

“Dad was surprisingly a romanticist.”

“What is unexpected? What is unexpected?”

And that evening, we attended the banquet the Queen prepared for us. I was wondering what to do with the pet line kids and decided to just take them with me. In any case, even Mangmung and Koyang don’t look ordinary, so no one will act hastily.

First, you should go and enjoy the banquet in moderation… And be careful to reject various offers or temptations. If the storm strikes as previously planned, it will become an invincible shield in the current situation.

“Wow!!!! I didn’t expect it to be raw fish instead of frozen fish like Dongtae. When I looked at it, it wasn’t even thawed.”

“It must have been quite difficult to bring it by air. Is there a separate way to transport it?”

The weather in the North Sea country is cold, and that is probably the same in North Korea. Even if you catch fish, transportation is easy thanks to the cold weather, but the fish inevitably freezes.

Frozen food is delicious if thawed properly, but it is still not as good as living food. Frozen humans cannot be saved even if frozen with Earth’s current technology because as they freeze, their volume expands and their cells are destroyed. Likewise, once frozen, the taste deteriorates slightly when thawed later due to the destroyed cells.

Of course, it’s not that it doesn’t taste good, so it’s better to freeze it for cost-effectiveness. However, without thinking about cost-effectiveness, they imported unfrozen fish just for a little taste.

Well, it’s nice that I can eat delicious raw fish thanks to you. It was amazing that they also served a large crab dish. However, although this crab was not eaten raw, possibly due to parasites or food poisoning, it was possible to boil crab meat with only the shell and flesh removed in separately brewed broth and eat it like shabu-shabu.

I’ve mostly eaten hot soup dishes while traveling, but this is on a different level. Of course, we had a lot of things we needed during our trip, so we ate in moderation, but the crab shabu-shabu was so delicious that we remembered it again.

The sweetness of the crab meat and the richness of the broth soaked in it… And it’s no joke if you eat the broth separately. Personally, I feel like adding rice and eating it as oatmeal or adding kalguksu noodles and eating it with chopsticks.

“Are you satisfied with your meal?”

“Yes, I am proud that I cooked my own food while I was there, but the royal family’s meals are different. The seafood is fresh and very delicious.”

“One of the things that the North Sea State can be proud of is the abundance of seafood from the North Sea. Although it is a barren land, the blessings of the sea are very abundant and feed the people of the North Sea State. You can eat fresh seafood like this wherever you go. It’s only the North Sea country.”

“Still, I think it would take a lot of work to bring seafood from this cold place without freezing it…”

“You can’t neglect treating a distinguished guest. Especially if you are a capable Gapsa who is leaving to prevent the commotion caused by the Storm Bird.”

The queen’s purpose is to make me the archduke. I think they’re probably doing it to expand their power or something, but I think it’s because of the trend in the North Sea country that they’re doing this to me, a mere barbarian with no particular position.

Beihae Kingdom is a place where capable Gapsa can be appointed and become the lord of Seongju. In that case, if he has sufficient ability, he can become a king even though he has no real power. Anyway, even if such a person were to sit on the king’s throne, he would not be able to act as king right away, so he would be the boss of the pants and would end up acting like a regent.

We have no choice but to go strictly on defense. First, no matter what the purpose is, externally, they are welcoming and treat them with utmost respect, and their conscience does not explode to the point of ruining their face in front of such a person.

“You may have heard the story, but do you know why Storm Bird is making such a fuss?”

“I heard a report from Nammun Seongju. You say it’s because you’re looking for a mate?”

“Yes, first, we plan to visit the island where the Stormbirds live in the North Sea and talk to them. It is possible because my daughter, Silver Fairy Gapsa Eden, can communicate even if she is a divine beast who cannot speak human language.”

“Then you used that ability to tame the unicorn?”

“That’s right. But it’s not just that unicorns like beautiful girls.”

I briefly covered Eden and Mary. This is an excuse that was used in the past in the West Lake Kingdom for an arranged marriage with a prince, but it is effective in its own way. From what I heard, since the queen also had a prince, she might push for an arranged marriage, so I drew a line first.

… Yes, Secretary. After the banquet, I will feed you carrots brought from the Garden of Eden. At least here, it’s great to use as a shield.

“Honestly, when I found out why Storm Bird was making a fuss, I didn’t think it was a stranger. Women who are alone tended to get lonely… Would you please pour me a drink?”

“How dare I ask Your Majesty…”

“There is no need to be formal. There is no one here who would ignore Gapsa White Tiger.”

Many of the nobles gathered at the banquet were looking at me with favor or envy, probably from Gapsa. Of course, not everyone was like that, but at least there were no idiots who openly showed hostility towards me.

Rather, those guys were talking to each other, looking at Eden and Mary who were quietly enjoying the banquet food next to them. You have a general idea of ​​what the fuss is about, so close your ears for now, but as soon as you put it into practice, know how to look after it.

Queen Haeyeon and I drank and talked about various things. Well, I don’t know if alcohol got into my nose because I was attacking and defending, but my grades were still pretty good.

“One way or another, when the Storm Team’s work is finished, how about settling down in one place? The Northern Sea Kingdom is said to be a barren land, but it has the largest territory among the three kingdoms. If you are a White Tiger Gapsa, you have the ability to give you several castles.”

“I am grateful that you rate me highly, but I am not constitutionally suited to ruling. That is why I have refused a position in the West Protectorate and am I wandering around. I am not a person by nature to stand above anyone, so I will only accept your words gratefully.”〈 Br〉

“Then, how about just raising the name? The actual governance can be left to a representative.”

“You have responsibility as a person in charge, so how can you leave it as if it were just someone else? If you are forced to take on it, you will definitely pay attention to it, and then problems will arise.”

“Hmm… Rather, you look like someone who has stood above someone. Have you ever run a heavy-duty armored division?”

“We just have similar experiences.”

It’s sharp. No matter how low her level of civilization is, isn’t she a queen who has real power for no reason?

In the end, it’s just a matter of scale, but bickering is the same everywhere in politics. No, isn’t this place worse than Earth? If she does something wrong here, she could be assassinated, right? Of course, it’s the same on Earth, but if it’s really a last resort there, it’s a useful method if it’s wrong here.

If you survived there, you must have good political sense. It’s a bit unfair to try to make me a pillar.

Anyway, the banquet ended reasonably well, and the queen’s various stabs were barely blocked with an impregnable defense. She won’t stab again, at least not for a while.

“Dad, you’re having a hard time too…”

“Well, do you think Eden will be as big as you? What did the nobles say? Did they invite you to a separate banquet?”

“First, it’s 60% that he invites her because he’s a Gapsa, but 40% has shady intentions. Oh, there were a lot of people who stuck with Mary because of the barrier.”

“I barely missed it because I was inspecting the barrier on the capital side. It’s good that they created a barrier, but that’s a bit annoying.”

Mary created a demon-fighting barrier that was nothing short of revolutionary in this world. She says that the White Face Princess is working hard, but the person who can unfold that barrier is the most valuable talent.

In some ways, it may be considered more important than me or Eden. While Eden and I are the ones holding on to her demons, Mary is the one protecting them. Honestly, in the long run, Mary is much better.

In the future, if someone other than the White-faced Princess appears who can create a barrier, this side of humanity may become completely self-reliant, so it would be welcome as the Great Demon King who presides over society. Because it is more meaningful to do it yourself rather than relying on and relying on it.

Anyway, after staying at the palace for a few days, we slowly got ready to leave. Because the situation was so messed up, no one said anything even if we moved quickly, and people looked at us with respect, saying that we thought this matter was that important.

“I packed the necessary supplies in the wagon. And this too.”

“This is…”

“This is a pass with her original wife’s signature and a seal. With this, you can travel anywhere in the North Sea country without any restrictions, so use it to your heart’s content.”

“I am devastated.”

To be honest, even without that, I still get a free pass because of the people who make the secretary recognize Unicorn. Still, if you give it, it’s better to take it. There is also a face issue, how can you reject someone to my face?

On the other hand, I wonder if they’re trying to spit on me with this pass… Well, next time I come to this world, I’ll go to Dongjukguk and not Beukhaiguk, so there’s no problem.

Afterward, we headed to the North Sea again. As the news spread that we were leaving, numerous people came and cheered and cheered us on the way.

“Baekho Gapsa!!! Please calm the storm!!!!!”

“Long live the Eunseonnyeo Gapsa!!!! Long live the Geumseonnyeo Gapsa!!!!”

“Please put an end to this mess!!!! Please!!!!”

“Long live the unicorn!!!!”

Well, it’s not a bad feeling to have people cheering for you with such expectations. However, I’m still worried about how to handle the storm as it’s a big job.

“If it’s okay, I’ll summon Johnny.”

“It’s a storm bird and a wind spirit… But no matter how much I think about it, I don’t think the size or age will match it?”

“Oneshota you’re the best!!!!!!!!”

“Please think about Johnny becoming Shota!!!!!”

“… Are you trying to say it smells like a chicken coop?”

No, there’s a drip there?!

In a way, it may be true that storm tides are birds, right?!
