Dragon Poor

I don't know why that gaze was so heavy, but Kim Sun-hyuk was already starting to worry about what Ophelia would say.

Seeing him like that, she said something.

“My body is not like mine. ”

The first thing that came to mind was the curse of one who had engraved on the blood of the Ades, who caused the death of a former monarch.

My heart sank.

“Is there any sign of any abnormality in your body? ”

I grabbed hold of Ofelia's widowed shoulder without even knowing it. Before, he was shaking with an evil hand.

How can I not be shaken?

Kim Sun-hyuk has been preaching things as an excuse.

The Demon King. It was the destiny of the courageous. Whatever excuse he gave, it was true that he was neglectful of Ofelia. However, she had just lost her father, and she was equally burdened with the curse that made her fatalise him.

You're such an idiot.

Kim Sun-hyuk who realized what he had been missing while he was out.

“I'm sorry, Ofelia. ”

So I was even more sorry. Now that I've realized my mistake and had to step out of the empire again, I can't lift my head.

“Keep your head up. ”

Ofelia grips his cheeks with a gentle voice.

“The Grand Duke's position I gave you should not bow so easily. ”

You raise your head, drawn by a careful hand.

“As your spouse, you are a terrible person. ”

Unlike the horse, it was a face that was invisible as the color of grumbling everywhere.

“But I don't want you to be a bad father. ”

Suddenly, Kim Sun-hyuk looked stunned at her words.

“What are you saying...? ”

One word that I could barely pull out of my mouth that wouldn't fall off was really stuffy even when I thought to myself.

“I told the child in this womb that I didn't want you to be a bad father. ”

Again, all the accidents stopped. It felt like my head was empty.

“Ah…. ”

I didn't know, but I heard sighs and sighs. The short breath contained an incomprehensible complex emotion.

“Ofelia. You can't mean.... ”

“It is still small and weak enough to say it is a new life, but I believe it will soon grow stronger than any child who will lead this empire. ”

He spits a vain laugh when he carefully touches his stomach. He looked like a real person.

“So I'm gonna be a father? ”

When Sun Hyuk asked if his legs were relaxed or twisted, Ofelia nodded and nodded.

“The Imperial Wizards have already checked many times. ”

“Ha.”

He laughs again.

“That's ridiculous. I'm your father... ”

He doesn't smile, he doesn't cry, and he says the same thing a few times with a weird face. And Ophelia waited for his thoughts to be cleared.

How long has it been?

There was only one emotion left on Kim Sun-hyuk's face that was filled with all kinds of emotions.

“I really... ”

Joy, unprecedented joy spread throughout his face.

“Ofelia!”

With a shout, he hugs Warak Ofelia.

“The child will be amazed. ”

At last, a smile came to her face that seemed to be grave. It was a compassionate smile that was significantly different from the previous smile.

That day Ophelia took her hands off all her duties and spent time with Kim Sun-hyuk. I only focused on her, forgetting that he had to leave soon, too.

It was the same the next day.

The couple lay in their bedroom and talked about a lot of things they hadn't been able to do. Kim Sun-hyuk laid out all the Americans about his experiences outside, and Ophelia listened to him quietly.

And at the end of his story, Ofelia told me a lot about his childhood or something small.

The couple did not drop an attempt for three days.

During that time, Kim Sun-hyuk was able to once again deeply imprint on what he really had to protect.

“I'll be back as soon as I can. ”

Even now, I wanted to cancel the western route, but I couldn't, so Kim Sun-hyuk promised to come back soon.

“It's more important to come back in one piece. ”

And Ofelia prayed only for his safe return.

“Be strong, as fast as you can. I remembered.”

Kim Sun-hyuk knelt down and lowered his head to bring his cheeks to Ophelia's belly.

“I'm going back to my dad's, so stay calm. ”

His face is glowing red as he speaks. However, seeing that the smile on his mouth did not go away, he seemed really happy.

“I'll be back then. Take care, Ofelia. ”

After saying a few words, he swoops up with Devon. Then he hovered over the castle several times and disappeared into the western sky.

Ofelia stares up at the sky dazed for a long time after Griffin's turn to black dots disappeared completely.

* *

Kim Sun-hyuk literally went crazy. He summoned Atilla to help Devon flap his wings, and he lowered himself as low as possible to reach Mansk as soon as possible.

It was a very windy flight.

And his efforts continued after he was picked up by Mansk.

“Huff. Slow down. ”

Even a superhuman called the Sword flies violently, but he doesn't slow down a bit.

As a result, he was amazingly able to leave the east entirely and enter the south-central part of the continent in two weeks.

“And the port city you see there is Grana, Iberia. ”

Kim Seon-Hyuk turned around and said, only after he had caught Granado's eye, he slowed down.

“Grana and whatever. Let's get out of here first. ”

Marek, who was completely bored by the two-week flight, looked several times more tired than the day of the succession ceremony.

“I'm getting out of here. ”

His smile slowly lowers the altitude of Devon.

Marek leaps in, even before Griffin lands completely. He was eager to get off Devon's back.

“Just a little longer. How soon can I get off?" ”

Marek grits his teeth, giving him a small pinglass.

“I won't be going anywhere with you again after this. ”

“Well, do that. I won't be going anywhere after this. ”

Marek speaks a more relaxing answer.

“I'll take the boat back myself when I get back. ”

“Suit yourself.”

While you bicker for a moment, Iberian people flock to you in a nourished conversation. And the middle-aged man who was dressed in splendidly among them appeared.

“I was told you were coming, but I didn't expect to arrive so early. ”

Now it was Diego Velázquez who became the Grand Duke of Iberia.

“As I was rushing the schedule.... ”

“No matter how fast you hurry, you've only got two weeks to get your expertise... ”

Diego Velázquez frowns as if he were a madman, but he shrugs and no longer explains Gathabuta.

“Please, come inside. It's so sudden that I'm not ready, but I'm sure I can solve the problem. ”

The Grand Duke of Iberia shakes his head later and looks suspicious.

“You've never met the person you came with? ”

“Hello, I.... ”

Marek wanted to introduce himself, but Kim Sun-hyuk stood in his way.

“We'll talk about it later, but let's go inside. ”

When he said that, the Grand Duke of Iberia no longer cared about Marek.

* *

Diego Velázquez treated Kim Sun-hyuk kindly even when there was no connection in the past. Even Diego Velázquez was more cautious when Iberia became a paper trail for Adenberg.

It was an extreme attitude, as if he were treating his boss.

That wasn't so weird to do. Despite the same Grand Duke title, the opponent was the husband of the only monarch in the empire. Even if I hurt the plant, I could not get help from the mainland when I needed it.

As Iberia, which decided to become a part of the empire to escape the territory, it was a situation that must be avoided.

“I've been investigating the last battle between the warrior and the Demon King, as I said, but things have been a little rough since that day, so I'm not sure if the warrior is still around." ”

In spite of this, the Grand Duke of Iberia was in surprisingly detailed investigation into the whereabouts of the warrior Kim Sun-hyuk had asked for before he left.

“That's enough for now. Thank you."

Kim Sun-hyuk, who was anxious about the size of the troops mobilized in the last battle and the subtle report on the nature of the battle, thanked him.

“Are you really going to enter the Demon King's Land? ”

He gives a small nod, and the Grand Duke of Iberia lets out a small sigh.

“I'd like to stop you, but I won't listen. ”

“I'm not going because I want to. ”

Diego Velázquez looked around at Kim Sun-hyuk once and lowered his voice.

“The atmosphere of the Central Kingdom coalition is unusual these days. No, the Church's atmosphere is unusual, to be exact. ”

He put down his handkerchief and waited for the next word.

“It seems the Church is no longer willing to wage war with the Demon King. ”

“I've repaired a quarter of the Fallen West as is known, so it shouldn't be too weird to stop the war now. If, of course, the Demon King sees it as it is. ”

Diego Velázquez replies, smashing the table with his palm.

“Exactly! ”

Diego Velázquez blinks because he doesn't know what he's doing. He says with a reminded face.

“Intelligence suggests that the Church and the Demon King have some sort of pact. ”

Whatever this was, Kim Sun-hyuk jumped to his feet without me knowing.

Divine power and Magi are supreme, and they must be eaten by each other. However, he could not understand that one or two forces formed a treaty based on the opposite power.

“The front is stuck for a while. There are a lot of soldiers involved in the war and there's a lot of damage to the Demon King. But it doesn't make sense that there haven't been any minor disputes so far. I don't know about this one, but at least a human can't bite it.It's not weird for a bunch of stuck-up horseshit to be out here somewhere on the front lines. ”

Diego Velázquez continued, encouraging Sun-hyuk Kim to come back from his seat with a gesture.

“So I investigated a lot of questions. And I've finally come to a conclusion. ”

“Is that the bargain between the Demon King and the Church? ”

The Grand Duke of Iberia nods as if he was waiting.

“Exactly. ”

And then he added a word.

“I don't know in detail what terms came and went, but I'm sure the Federation of the Middle Kingdoms will pay you a quarter of what they did for my land in the west. ”

The eyes of an elderly politician who had endured the pressure of the church and had protected the unity of the small cities were directed at Kim Sun-hyuk.

“And that includes the Grand Duke. ”

As soon as he heard that, Kim Sun-hyuk remembered the specialty of the church that flew to Mansk.

“Then you asked me for help.... ”

“Must be a trap. ”

At this point, I was not going to be angry.

“Ha. I knew the Church was dirty, but I never thought it would be this bad." ”

“Do you know why Iberia was trying to escape the Church by falling at the feet of the Empire?" ”

Diego Velázquez confronts you after insulting the Turo Church.

“This is no ordinary trap, as it's a trap to catch the legendary Grand Duke Drahon. It gives me goose bumps just thinking about how nasty and deadly the traps are. ”

Although he did not reply to the Church's specialty, by now his western route would have been rumored. If Diego Velázquez is right, the Demon King may have dug a trap and is waiting for him.

“So what are you going to do now? Even if you knew it was a trap, would you still go west? ”
