Chapter 56 – Episode 56 ― Me That Even I Didn’t Know (2)
Episode 56 ― Me that even I didn’t know (2)
Roan has mostly practiced using Fiora.
It was because he had to be guided by Fiora. The wooden sword was used only occasionally to keep Fiora silent as if she were dead.
However, are you familiar with the demon lord’s body?
The wooden sword also feels like it sticks to the hand.
‘Fiora must be disappointed.’
Without Roan’s body, Fiora would not know what was going on outside. I’ll beg for a detailed explanation later.
Roan smiled softly and took a stance.
“The seon-gong will yield.”
“Thank you. Your majesty.”
As soon as he finished his greeting, Helen’s sword flew aiming at Roan’s interruption.
The demon king’s swordsmanship against this is not flashy.
However, it contains overwhelming power.
There is a reason why his skill is ‘Overwhelming’.
Helen’s sudden stance was disrupted by the immense power she felt through the swords that touched her.
It was just a coincidence.
“What?!”
“Do it again.”
Thankfully, the Demon King allowed another attack. Helen bowed her head in silence without saying a word to her, then threw her body.
‘Interesting. I can see everything.’
Helen’s speed is fast.
Helen’s body is lighter and lighter than my body that moved in reality. Even with her sword in her hand.
But at the same time as noticing it objectively, she also knew the direction Helen’s movement was going.
That’s because the demon king’s body has a far superiority in the sense of reading signs with the visual acuity of the body.
The daily training and improved skill ‘Detection’ added to it led Roan to an advantage.
‘Strong.’
Helen was genuinely amazed.
No other evaluation was possible.
It wasn’t just a difference in strength.
Of course, Roan’s power is strong. It is safe to say that there is no other person with the same body size that can generate such explosive power.
On top of that, numerous elements were added.
Simple but sophisticated swordsmanship.
Five senses sharpened.
A well-trained body capable of handling it all.
Experience in combat.
Helen and Roan didn’t know, but the fact that the demon king killed people without even trying also played a part.
Swordsmanship grows by eating someone’s blood.
Roan’s sword struck Helen’s sword once again, containing a dark and heavy energy that was clearly revealed.
“Heuk!”
Spirit leaked out through Helen’s grit. Roan, on the other hand, continued his attack without losing his breath.
Meanwhile, Helen felt Roan drain her powers. Her eyes sharpened.
‘Am I going to compete only with technology?’
It is difficult for her to fully accept her own sword with her power.
Roan attacked while controlling the power of the sword.
I was a little worried about the situation of sword-to-sword with someone for the first time, but fortunately it wasn’t difficult.
Besides, it was fun.
It was a pleasure to be able to share the sword that I had always wielded alone with someone.
Helen’s swordsmanship was agile and extraordinary.
If he said he would come from here, he poked at her from the other side, aiming for an opening in Roan.
But Roan’s body was faster than his eyes.
Before he could think, his sword countered, blocking Helen’s sword.
A smile appeared on the faces of the two as they exchanged swords with a proper opponent after a long time.
Dozens of sword attacks came and went without hesitation.
And then Helen noticed something in her.
The confusion mixed with the demon king’s sword path.
At first I thought it was an illusion.
However, in the middle of the movement of the clear sword, the shaking appeared mixed like impurities.
Helen’s skills were limited to seeing.
Attacking that gap would only be possible for someone with a much higher level of skill than Helen.
But don’t know.
A combination of prosecutors always makes the difference between life and death.
So Helen, with her respect for Roan,
She gave a big swing of her sword and stepped back from her, then she asked.
“Your majesty.”
Roan just stared at Helen as she caught her rough breath.
“Do you have a place that cares about something?”
Hearing Helen’s question, Roan’s eyes shook slightly.
“… Hmm.”
“The longevity you mentioned earlier… , Is it the business of the lords?”
“Yes.”
Helen bowed her waist to express her gratitude to Roan for responding to the sparring first.
“When you try to discipline yourself, rebelling happens more often than you think.”
Helen laughed bitterly. Seeing that expression, Roan also nodded his head.
Only the degree of rebellion is different, but the wandering mind is expressed in various ways. From ignoring to active backlash.
“There are many reasons. It would be nice if His Majesty could ‘squeeze’ them one by one, but that may not always be the case.”
Helen laughed softly at the words he threw, and Roan also laughed. It was to remember Roan’s words about wanting to stab the lord last time.
“That’s why you have to show the strictness of military law. Your majesty. They must show that their actions are always evaluated by His Majesty.”
Always being evaluated…
Hearing Helen’s words, Roan’s face suddenly lit up.
At the smile that appeared on the demon king’s face,
Helen felt as if her breath had stopped.
Helen had never felt a crush on the opposite sex in her life, but the change in her expression on her beautiful sculpture-like face was so tempting.
Roan’s smile grew even thicker as he listened to the timid sound of increasing his liking.
Affinity has increased to +30!
“Thank you, Helen.”
“Yes? No, Your Majesty.”
Helen’s expression raised a question, but Roan quickly grabbed her fiora and disappeared.
The place Roan hurried to was the office.
‘I have to write it down before I forget.’
[So, so how did it go? Tell me now, Roan! I feel dizzy!]
“Dizziness seems to happen to me, Fiora.”
Despite Fiora’s interference, Roan safely took out a pen and notebook from the office.
The first thing he wrote in Korean on his own notepad was ‘Second Word History’.
It’s called the Secret Inspection Team.
The lords acted recklessly because they thought that Roan was not interested in them.
If they know that their every move is reported to the emperor and that he is interested in it, at least they won’t do anything against the norm anymore.
In addition, without going through a small meeting, he reports the movement of the lord directly to himself.
Thus, information independence can be maintained.
Roan now gets all the information through small meetings. The four nobles of the Small Council are loyal people, but it’s because people don’t see flaws in close quarters.
‘Of course, I have to find someone I can trust before that, but…’
There was a task to find a loyal official or aristocrat, but Roan decided to just jot down the idea first.
You don’t have to worry alone.
Aren’t there a lot of people around you who can share their opinions with you?
Roan, who had vomited some of his thoughts, covered his notepad with a satisfied face and moved on to the next schedule.
The place he stepped into was the penthouse of GDI Co., Ltd., The offices of Baron Grünent and Grave.
A house for sale close to the capital is being used as a commercial building in a hurry. Thanks to this, the top floor, where Grunent’s office is located, was filled with a sense of life.
“… That kitchen is unnecessarily large.”
Roan said while accepting the teacup that Naor, who was in charge of escorting and working at the guild, brewed in the kitchen right next to him.
They say they are relatives, but they definitely look similar to me, and have similar energy.
Even the eye color is the same.
I said that purple eyes like this are rare.
Roan’s gaze, which was scanning Naor, landed on the belt ornament.
The black bead decoration was familiar.
Roan looked at it for a long time, feeling that he couldn’t remember something.
If it was a sentence of a relative, it might have remained in my memory because I saw it somewhere.
“It was originally a house where someone lived, Your Majesty.”
“It’s okay. This has its own luck. Your majesty. It’s good that this old man reminds me of the first time I built a pedestal in the old days.”
“Hmm?”
The baron brushed his beard, rummaging through his memories. Grünent accepts the teacup and listens to the story he is hearing for the first time.
“At that time, I rented a warehouse room in the owner’s house that I rented and started the guild. It was next to the kitchen, so it was smelly and hot. Every day, the owner’s lady in the next room would be noisy and aglow.”
“Could it be that the young lady became her wife?”
“Oh, how did you know?”
After all, clichés are there for a reason.
Baron Grave said as he lifted the teacup Naor had brought him.
“Yes. Even though I was bereaved the year before last.”
Uh…
The atmosphere suddenly darkened.
Grünent became restless, and Roan’s expression was visibly sullen.
‘Ah, what is it? What will you do with this Tallulah…’
“… I’m sorry.”
When Roan, whose expression did not change much on the outside, apologized with a clearly embarrassed expression, Baron Grave chuckled.
“It’s okay, Your Majesty. Now I have a second wife who is only half my age.”
“… That’s fortunate.”
Better to be a thief than a baron to be morose. Roan let out a sigh of relief.
“Then, I will go out.”
Unlike Roan, the demon with the smiley face had a flirtatious impression. Naor bowed his head and left the office.
“Then, let’s take a look at this first.”
Baron Grave immediately handed over the report to Roan. It was a sales report on wheat sold by the Sanghoe.
Grünent meanwhile pulled out the next report.
It was a report related to Roan’s new military supply business.
‘It’s completely different now.’
Roan suddenly recalled the idle life of the Demon King. Fucking, lounging around, sometimes killing someone.
When I first came, I had nothing to do.
I never thought I would be as crazy as I am now.
‘It’ll be okay if it’s organized to some extent.’
Roan was again concentrating on Grunent and the baron’s report.
And then,
My vision was suddenly distorted.
‘Uh?’
Roan had felt something like this in his original world.
It was when I hit my head on someone’s leg.
‘Faint… ?’
My body suddenly lost strength and my vision moved greatly. I heard the sound of a teacup falling and breaking, and the sound of Grunent calling Roan.
Roan struggled not to lose his sanity. Blood flowed from his bitten lips.
“Your majesty?!”
“There, who…”
“No, Baron!”
Grünent shouted at Baron Grave, who was inadvertently trying to call someone.
The baron, realizing why she had acted the way she did, let her drool.
When it is known that the emperor, the strongest man in the country, has fallen, everything changes.
And Roan was watching this spectacle, collapsed. He could judge the situation with a faint mind, but his body did not move.
At that time.
Someone knocked on the door.
“… ?!”
As if he had been caught doing something bad, Baron Grave hurriedly looked around the door.
Grünent managed to swallow her bursting cries and spoke in a trembling voice.
“What is it?”
“I’ll go in. Mr. Grünent.”
“What?”
And without answering Grünent’s absurd question, Naor entered the room.
Unlike the atmosphere in the room, he closed the door with a calm movement and sat down next to Roan.
“Also.”
Baron Grave asked with blue eyes.
“As expected, Rani. What. Naor.”
“I told you that Your Majesty is a distant relative of me.”
Naor still smiled as he explained to Grunent and the Baron.
“This is an occasional seizure in my family.”
“… Naor.”
“It is not a very dangerous situation. You’re opening your eyes like this. Do not worry.”
At Naor’s words, Grünent calmed down and started to cry, and Baron Grave stroked her heart.
The collapsed Roan was also relieved.
Naor studied Roan’s face and said.
“Lady Grünent, Your Excellency Baron Grave. Could you please leave your seat for a moment?”
For the first time, Naor erased the smile from his face.
“It is the story of the clan.”
And Naor whispered something more to Grünent. Then Grunent suddenly dyed his face red. She nodded her head as if in agreement.
After confirming that she and her baron had gone into the farthest inner room from the living room and closed the door, I looked back at Roan.
And on that face
There was an expression that I had never seen before in this world.
A face that clearly laughed at Roan.
“It’s not a castle, but it’s a good thing to do outside. Take a sex slave right now…”
Naor murmured as he watched the field exhale with Roan’s eyes wide open.
“Oh you idiot, we got rid of all the sex slaves. Really.”
