Chapter 222: Kang Chul-In’s Decision (pt . 2)

“Huk . . . kuk . . . ”

After getting hit in the stomach extremely hard, Kwak-Jung started to spasm, before fainting .

“Hmph, he really is . . . ”

Staring at the fainted Kwak-Jung with a disgusted expression, Lucia started to drag him across the floor to take him away .

Soon, you will . . .

Kang Chul-In clenched his fists, while also gritting his teeth .

“ . . . Father?”

Not understanding anything that had just occurred, Arsh.e.l.ly questioned Kang Chul-In .

“How does a baby . . . ”

“W-Well . . . ”

Kang Chul-In closed his eyes .

Dammit!

If it were any other child he would have explained it just like Kwak-Jung, but Arsh.e.l.ly was his lovely daughter .

D-Do I really need to tell her . . .

Even though it was an overused saying, there was an explanation in times like this . It was a saying that any South Korean would know .

“Daughter . ”

“Yes, father?”

“Listen up . ”

“Okay!”

“Huu . . . ”

And after taking a deep breath, Kang Chul-In finally decided to speak ‘those words’ .

“A baby . ”

“Yeah!”

“Comes out . . . when two adults that love each other . . . ”

“Yeah!”

“Hold hands . . . at night . . . together . . . ”

“I-Is that so?!”

“ . . . ”

“How very interesting!”

“A-Anyway . . . ”

While trembling inwardly at his own shamelessness, Kang Chul-In quickly changed the subject .

“Daughter, we’ll take a little later . I’m a little busy after just coming back . ”

“Yes, father . ”

Arsh.e.l.ly seemed extremely satisfied with the fact that she had her curiosities sated . Even though she was able to find out in the future that her father had just been lying to her .

“Pft . . . ”

The Ninetails stared at Kang Chul-In, and laughed .

“You’re kind of cute . ”

“I just didn’t want to break her innocence so early . ”

“Even though husband’s intentions were quite obvious . . . I didn’t think that husband had that kind of side!”

At the Ninetails’s words, Kang Chul-In couldn’t say anything .

Even though he was like a merciless devil to his enemy, and an absolute powerhouse of an Overlord, he was an inexperienced father that loved his daughter .

“Well then, enough with the pointless talk . ”

Embarra.s.sed, Kang Chul-In spoke with a cold voice . It was obvious that he was trying to avoid talking about this topic .

“Anyway . ”

Looking at the people staring at him, Kang Chul-In continued .

“I will have an official announcement once we are finished talking . Is that understood?”

“Yes, Milord!”

Kang Chul-In also shouted to the citizens that had come out for the parade .

“I will give an announcement about more specific things at a later date! Now is the time to be giving rewards to those that have fought and made great contributions in the war, after all . ”

What he had said was right .

Even though the marriage of a Lord was important, he had to take care of other things first .

Who would want to sacrifice their lives for the territory and country if they were ignored, and weren’t rewarded?

“As expected, Milord is a benevolent ruler!”

“Long live Lord Kang Chul-In!!”

“Hooray!”

“Hooray!”

At Kang Chul-In’s words, the citizens cheered .

[The ‘Politics’ stat has been raised from C+ to B+!]

[The ‘Charm’ stat has been raised from A+ to S-!]

[The ‘Internal Affairs’ stat has been raised from E- to C+!]

And as that happened, a message showing that his stats had been increased showed up in front of him .

Good .

Kang Chul-In smiled, satisfied .

The message that had popped up in front of him was evidence that he as a Lord was growing .

In the past, the Kang Chul-In that only knew to fight was no longer there . He was becoming a complete Lord with abilities not only for battle, but also things like this .

———

“Alfred!”

After getting back into the castle, Kang Chul-In looked for Alfred immediately .

“What exactly has happened!”

“M-Milord!”

The old vampire butler that had been sucking on blood while resting immediately stood up as Kang Chul-In came in .

“Congratulations on the victory!”

“What congratulations, lie back down immediately!”

“How could I lie down when Milord is over here . . . ”

“Shut up!”

“M-Milord . . . ”

“What happened? In the report, it said that you looked as you looked when you were young . ”

“W-Well . . . ”

Alfred started to explain .

“ . . . Then why did you . . . ”

After listening to Alfred, Kang Chul-In shook his head .

“Didn’t you learn not to pick things up from anywhere?”

“Sorry, Milord . . . ”

“Make sure to focus your all on recovering . As my subordinate, you shouldn’t be sick and hurt like this . ”

“Of course, Milord! This old one will definitely try his best in recovering!”

“Oh, and . . . ”

Kang Chul-In gave news that Alfred might actually like .

“I’m going to get married soon . ”

“M-Milord!”

Alfred shouted, his voice full of happiness and excitement .

“Have you finally decided?!”

“That’s right . ”

“Milord . . . you have made such a grand decision . ”

“No, it wasn’t ‘grand’ . ”

“No, Milord . It’s obvious that in order to change Milord’s thoughts, there had to be some extreme thinking behind it . ”

“Well, it’s because I failed once in my previous life . There will no longer be failure for me, as I will finally achieve my goal!”

***

There were a lot of things to do .

Taking care of business afterwards, absorbing those territories that wanted to be part of the Laputa territory, as well as the quest that had come up .

But even before that, Kang Chul-In had one other thing left to do .

After making sure the funerals of the deceased warriors had been taken care of, Kang Chul-In headed towards where Kim Sung-Hee was .

Her whole body had turned black, and she wasn’t moving at all .

Not good .

Kang Chul-In’s expression stiffened .

Kim Sung-Hee’s condition didn’t change even when Aleister had died .

They didn’t have much time left in the first place, but since her healer, Alfred, had become injured, Kim Sung-Hee was about to turn into an undead .

Just like a certain scene in the movie ‘Dawn Of The Dead’ (2004) .

At this rate, she would turn into an undead within a week even with treatment from Alfred .

Knock knock .

It was at that moment .

“Milord, it’s Mikael . ”

The voice of the leader of the White Lion Knights, Mikael, could be heard from outside .

“Come in . ”

“Yes, Milord . ”

“What is it?”

“Milord, you said that you were looking for an alchemist?”

“That’s right . In order to save this woman here, we’ll need an alchemist that can make a tear of purity . ”

“Then, why not go into the ‘Dark Forest’?”

“The Dark Forest?”

The Dark Forest was a forest that was located South of where the old Laputa territory used to be, and was the habitat of countless monsters and wild animals .

“Yes, Milord . ”

“Why so?”

“According to the rumors, apparently an extremely high-level witch lives there . ”

“A witch?”

“Yes, Milord . Apparently one of my knights have met that witch, and she was able to easily cast high-level spells . ”

“Hmm . . . ”

“And since it’s extremely difficult to find a high level alchemist, don’t you think it would be worth it to go look for that witch? After all, a witch is closely related to alchemy . ”

“You’re right . ”

Kang Chul-In nodded at Mikael’s words .

“Very well, that’s what I’ll do . ”

It was always a good thing to listen to what a loyal subordinate would say, as it often led to good results .

“But you’ll have to be careful, Milord . ”

Mikael added .

“Apparently that witch doesn’t have a good temper, and the knight that met her nearly died in the process . ”

“No need to worry about that . ”

Kang Chul-In showed his confidence .

“Magicians, wizards or witches, they can’t do anything to me . ”

Due to the ‘Spellthirster’ ability he had, even a high-level or powerful witch couldn’t stand in front of Kang Chul-In .

***

Before heading off to meet the witch that lived in the Dark Forest, Kang Chul-In made a meeting and announced that he would get married .

“We will talk about this later when I get back from the Dark . . . ”

Just as Kang Chul-In was speaking .

Pzzt!

From the ‘Needle of the Empress’, an extremely large spark zapped Kang Chul-In .

“ . . !”

And Kang Chul-In was barely able to contain the scream that involuntarily came out of his mouth .

It was strange .

As if it was purely electricity, the Spellthirster ability didn’t work .

Dammit, stupid item .

Kang Chul-In gritted his teeth .

[Warning, warning!!]

At that moment, a notification popped up .

[Due to the wearer’s level being low, the ‘sky-piercing jealousy’ penalty has been activated!]

[Warning, warning!!]

[If you hold a marriage, a set of natural disasters (earthquake, lightning, hail) will occur!]

We’ll see about this later!

Kang Chul-In gritted his teeth .

He wasn’t one to just submit to an item .
