Chapter 631 – [Cultural Festival]

Even though he was the main culprit in dethroning the crown prince, our treatment was honored as a state guest.

It is an unavoidable law. Diplomacy was originally a law that could not be done only with emotions. Even in the middle of this, seeing that there are guys who contact us separately because they want to look good to us, I thought that nobles are no different here.

“The sweets here are delicious because of the generous use of sugar.”

“Sugar is sugar, but there are many with honey in it. Do you do beekeeping?”

No matter how heavily influenced by the first king, it is a different culture if it has developed separately for hundreds of years.

I didn’t even notice the time passing because I ate dishes and sweets that only taste like this place.

Because of the Crown Prince’s usual behavior, the evaluation of us who dethroned him went up, so the servants in the palace treated us well. It’s not mechanical, it’s said that you can see what you really want to do.

“It’s strange that the dethronement of the royal family is treated as a state guest.”

“Originally, this is the law of human politics.”

“Would it be if my sister also followed in her mother’s footsteps?”

“I don’t know because elves are different from humans. But people with power aren’t that different, so that might be the case.”

“Ummm……”

Ruminus, who was listening to the story together, intervened in the conversation.

“My father loves me, so he tells me to marry the person he likes, but most of the girls of noble families have arranged marriages. That’s what a power society is like.”

“A arranged marriage?”

“Ah, elves are a closed society and a tribal society, so there won’t be much like that.”

The Great Forest of Urca is treated as a country, but if you look inside it, it is more like a tribal country.

Asterope’s mother, Pleione, also has the title not queen but chieftain. Besides, if she was an elf, she had no particular distinction, and since she was a single tribe, there was no room for arranged marriages.

“Arranged marriage. Arranged marriage… Hmm, that’s a word I’m not used to.”

“I usually talk about rice while talking about it, so why can’t I match?”

“I can talk like this myself?!”

Anyway, I changed my conversation partner and talked to Xeon, who came as a messenger and is still staying here.

I didn’t expect it to come like this, but I still have to do what I have to do with On Kim-ae.

“I’m glad it ended well.”

“No, what ends?”

“……?”

“I’m still alive, but she’s painful and curses what’s born in this world.

Xeon put on a slightly frightened expression at my words.

“I also know that the law is far away and the fist is close, but torturing and killing me is a bit…”

“I don’t know if you’ll be reincarnated in the future, but if you live as a reincarnated person, you need something to be your support so that you won’t be broken. And for me, that’s Zion.”

My absolute rule is Zion. Even if something similar is planned to happen, nothing beyond that does not exist in this world.

As long as Zion’s safety is guaranteed, I can throw away dozens of dimensions with a smile. Life there? What do you know

What he said to Shion still lingers in my ears, but I think I have to wash my ears with his screams of pain and the agony that comes out when he dies.

“Uh, um…… I’m going to execute them in one kingdom anyway, isn’t that a little too much?”

“Even if that’s the case, I’m going to kill you gracefully. I’ll call a real fool to kill the foolish crown prince, grind him finely, and not cut his throat with a sharp knife.”

I’d rather do it and behead it, I’ll have some emotions, but I can understand it.

You’re a bastard, walking around with a sinner called Joridolim! And shameful punishment. When you watch historical dramas, it was similar to people throwing stones at sinners.

But no matter how much it was, would you like to die like that because you’re my son? Even if I kill you, I will kill you gracefully.

Maybe the poison will come down. The poison is at least able to preserve the corpse intact, so it’s much better than a corpse that died by beheading.

“I won’t leave any bastards who have touched Zion. I’ll definitely kill them because there’s room for them to touch them again.”

“Well……..”

“Because he didn’t think he would be punished for cutting his tail like that before, he made China into several pieces.”

“Yes?! China?! The China?!”

“Anyway, what he did is a diplomatic matter that would cause a war no matter what. It would be better if it ended with one person dying.”

“……That’s right.”

It was only natural that a lot of people would die no matter what. Even if I had been a prince in name only, the empire’s honor was tarnished, so war was inevitable.

It seems that the crown prince was used as a scapegoat, but noblesse oblige, it is natural that aristocrats give their lives to protect their honor as nobles do. Otherwise, why do nobles receive taxes from the people?

Because you have a duty to protect them. Those who neglect their duties and responsibilities are not even entitled to enjoy the rights.

“Your Highness, Your Majesty has sent a letter.”

“Ah, the news has arrived.”

There are many things to talk about with him. What the first king of a kingdom left behind, along with stories like this.

I took Zeon and headed to the main palace where the king would be.

*        *    *

Drink a cup of hot tea without added sugar. Hmm, it’s similar to green tea, but a bit astringent.

If I could get some tea leaves later, I didn’t think it would be bad to roast them separately and drink them.

“Do you like tea?”

“Yes, I like it”

King Jinhan had an emaciated appearance in a few days. Hagisa No matter how stupid you are, you’re going to have to dethrone your own child and even give him the death penalty, but you’re going to have a lot of trouble.

He passed the time drinking tea, and when he had drunk half of his cup, he handed him an apple again.

“I apologize again for what my son has done.

“No, in the end, people aren’t the problem.”

“I’d rather act resolutely from the beginning and try to fix the child…”

“Farming children is difficult even for the emperor.

It is only a sigh that increases in the face of a problem that can not be helped even if it is solved. I also do this often when I have children, but I’m afraid it’s someone else.

“As a ruler, he prides himself on having the eyes to judge people, but it seems that his eyes are blurred in front of his children.

“A monarch is a law that no one can do. If he became a monarch with such a personality, the damage would have been even greater.”

However, it is a little strange that such a foolish man was still sealed as the Crown Prince.

My sister is trying to come up through this gap that her older brother is dating, but can her position be so firm in the yard where her younger brother is? Even his personality is dirty, so his base of support is…… Oh, did he say Duke Moonryong?

“Duke Wenryong’s Jiji was still confining that child to the Crown Prince.”

“Rather, it ruined people.”

“It’s already happened. There’s nothing we can do about it, so the only thing we can do is appoint the second son as crown prince……”

Enough of this story already, so let’s move on to the next one.

The original purpose of my coming to a kingdom, Marquis Sukyung’s invitation. And it was something left by the first king of a kingdom behind it.

“One day, the King left a message on this continent to show what he left behind to those who have new ideas and show amazing achievements in any field.”

“If my prediction is correct, I think the former king is from the same country as me.”

“I would have thought that his long-standing words could be fulfilled in the lineage of Gwain…”

I also summoned Xeon. As a reincarnated person like me, he deserved at least to hear this story together.

The person I was talking with earlier was a conversation between a king and a prince from a foreign country, and now it was a conversation between a person who guarded an ancestor’s property and a person who was qualified to look after it.

“Isn’t he the messenger of the department head?”

“He is also a trend person”

“Certainly, I heard that he is a skill that surpasses the Duke of Jinyu’s self-restraint. If you guarantee it, it is judged that he is fully qualified.”

He is not an idiot either, so he came all the way here, but after realizing why he purposely accompanied Xeon, he allowed him to sit with them.

Soon, King Jinhan took out something hidden under the throne of the main palace, where only the king could sit, and held it out to us.

On the surface, it was just an ordinary book.

A book that seems to be sealed pretty tightly.

“It’s a self-imaginary image left by the previous king. I don’t know the name because even the previous king didn’t reveal it, but the king of a kingdom kept it for generations.”

“This……..”

I looked closely at the book.

On the cover, a pattern that seemed to have been seen somewhere was drawn, and not only the pattern, but also the letters were written.

It’s a little twisted, but you can clearly tell what kind of character it is.

“If you try to open it by force, the self-fantasy itself is destroyed, and duplication is also impossible, so Gain has never opened it. Please, I hope you guys can open it.”

“………..”

Xeon has already noticed.

The letters written on the cover were written backwards and looked like they were reflected in a mirror. Even if you try to decipher the code, it is an uninterpretable sentence if you do not know the underlying language itself.

“Your Highness, this is…”

“Yes”

Slowly and clearly, I read the text by interpreting the characters on the cover, which are clearly in Korean, and arranging them correctly.

“Turn on Namu Wiki”

Clap!!!!

The book clicked and the seal was released.

“Ohhh! As expected, you guys…!!!!”

I opened the book, leaving the king of Jinhan, who showed intense emotional expression after a long-cherished wish was fulfilled.

Because it was a self-fantasy, there was no deterioration that the book faded for a long time. Even now, the paper of the book itself feels good.

……. But Ham-ho said, ‘Turn on Namu Wiki’. The first king, you bastard?!

“If you had to write such a code, you’re saying that this self-fantasy is like that, right? It’s clear that there’s nothing in the book except for the cover.”

“Shall we search for something?”

“As expected, that’s the first thing I’ll look for.”

It seems that the correction must be done by hand, but the search is language-recognized. The person you need the most right now… I don’t know the name, so let’s search for it by position.

“The first king of a kingdom”

I’m a book…… So, for convenience, let’s say 【Turn on Namu Wiki】, which is self-fantasy. Anyway, when I ran the search, letters began to appear on the white paper.

Hmmm, isn’t this something like a Horcrux? It looks like something out of Harry Potter.

[This document is directed to Seongjinhan]

It’s like a wiki again at times like this.

However, the contents were not particularly like character descriptions.

It was a letter left by a distant reincarnation to someone who would come in the future.

[To those who read this]

[If the will I left in the future continues properly, then the person who reads this must be someone from the same place as me]

[I am writing this because I am concerned about the continent as Sung Jin-han, who lived in Korea and the first king of a kingdom.]

[Those who think that the truth is too heavy for them to handle should close the book immediately.]

[If you’re prepared to read it, that’s good. I will tell you the hidden secrets of the continent]

He kindly even wrote a warning.

But it is a failure payment. It was too late to go back now.

I go on to be the first king. I continued to read the records left by Seong Jin-han.

[I was reincarnated on this continent after meeting one of the three great gods, the gray god. I was reincarnated with the memories of my previous life, but my status when I was born was a slave]

[At the time, most of the different races and a significant number of humans on the continent were slaves. I was a slave because I had parents who were such slaves]

[I had to adapt to the world to the point of despair in the gutter. If I didn’t do my quota every day, even the poor soup wouldn’t come out, and I was often beaten.]

[…And there was also a child who died while working like that. When I realized my self, the sight of a five or six-year-old child dying without enduring the whipping was ghastly.]

[Therefore, I was able to realize the purpose the gray god entrusted to me. Slave revolution. There is no such thing as slavery on this continent.]

Seong Jin-han was also a reincarnated person, and it was also confirmed that the Three Great Gods were involved in his reincarnation.

It’s different from what I was guessing and having clear evidence. This information will serve as the basis for my intuition to work later.

It seemed that this was enough harvest, but there was more important information.

Seong Jin-han left his own fantasy and will for that purpose.

[And a man came to help me]

[His name is Sandman]

[The trouble maker of this continent]

The owner of the name ‘Glass’ that the Black Witch had spat out revealed a shadow here.
