Jen's story continued, holding the tacket's hand all the way.

The sky began to whiten, and soft morning light was pouring in through the large window in the bedroom.

"Owen and I were really important. It's more like family."

Taketo listened to Jen as often as he could.

I'm sure Jen hasn't been able to tell this story to anyone, and he's been holding it in his heart for a long time. Protect your precious and, above all, precious treasure much deeper into your chest.

By revealing it to the tacket, the tears in her eyes were completely dry. Taketo watched quietly as he talked about his memories with Titan Owen in a childish and innocent manner.

"But of course. I also saw their circumstances. [M] They were being persecuted by humans and given their original place of residence."

They did not settle and crossed the woods to escape the humans.

They used to live with large, nutritious crops. It was necessary to maintain their bodies. But what they lived on was the land where the crops often grew. The people who looked at it quickly took it away. Those who were forced to live in the woods were feared, attacked and persecuted because of their appearance.

That's why every time I come into contact with humans, I change the place where I live deep into the woods, but it still seems that I often come into contact with people who are expanding their area of operation.

"I wasn't convinced. Why are they being persecuted? Why, they just want to live in peace. The humans are taking your place?

Three years since I started living with them. By that time, Jen's eyes had recovered by now. I was able to walk alone without any problems.

"Owen and I are together. Persecuted, hurt, and useless by humans. If you get in my way, I'll kill you."

And she makes up her mind.

"I am the daughter of the former king. Then I will be king. Let's change the world. Let's make a world where weak beings like us can live. I thought... that was the only way to reward Owen for saving my life and giving me love."

Yes, when I consulted Owen, he objected naturally. I bet you almost got killed. If we go back there, they'll just kill us again. What?

Yet Jen's determination remained unchanged, and one day he was sixteen years old. He said that he had come to King's Landing after quietly escaping their flock.

So I falsified my name and acquired knowledge while earning a living while helping the cafeteria. I learned the script by myself and immersed myself in the Royal Library for as long as I had time to learn about society, about the royal family, and about the country.

And by the time she turned eighteen, she was now her. She doesn't choose the means to do it, she does it flatly.

The royal family was still ravaged by factional strife. A time when all the aristocrats were struggling to get along with each other.

I joined a faction of aristocracy, and successively put the high order of succession to the throne and its surroundings into a solution, killing, causing them to lose their power, and expelling them.

After that, Taketo was also known.

Jen, who succeeded in eliminating all the legacy of the former king and the princesses, takes the throne.

Initially she was a royal palace and nobles who had a strong rebellion against Jen's aggressive behavior, but people recognized her as a king in many of the policies she laid down to abolish old bad habits, help ordinary people's lives, and improve the ventilation in the royal palace.

Now, it's no exaggeration to say that ordinary people are extremely popular. When this happened, other nobles and royal family members followed Jen as if they had returned their palms.

It was part of that policy to create the Office of the Magic Beast Poacher.

Taketo came to the land only after the political stability had been achieved.

"But, Taketo. I haven't achieved my best goal yet. We haven't made a world where Owens can live in peace yet."

Yes, Jen murmured as if he was lonely.

"Do you keep in touch with them?

When asked, Jen shakes his neck loosely.

"No... I came on my own. Besides, I was obsessed with them, so I honestly don't know where they lived anymore. And it was all over the place.... that's why. I went to Varvara and asked him if he had any sightings of Cyclops."

So I figured out why Jen used to come to the Magic Beast Poaching Control Office all the time.

Indeed, in this world, giants treat beasts as well. It is no exaggeration to say that all intelligent creatures other than humans and beasts are called magic beasts. I've heard that even Wesen used to be discriminated against by humans for dealing with beasts a long time ago. Cyclops should also be protected in the Magic Beast Poaching Control Office.

"Owen's hands were really warm. It's a bit like your hand."

That said, Jen dropped his gaze on the hand that was connected to the tacket, and he put a lot of effort into it.

Taketo slowly told her, choosing the word, that he would take the hand back.

"Me, too... I'll let you know as soon as I hear any sightings or rumors of the Cyclops. Probably... no, I'm sure. I think they want to see you."

I found my hand trembling for a moment. Jen looked deeply surprised and then laughed with a crying smile.

I hope so.

"I'm sure it is."

And get your hands off either side. The tacket stretched out with both hands up.

"Well, I'm going home. You should go to bed."

"I'm sorry. I've been dating you for a long time."

No

It was already dawn all night, but there should still be time before the royal palace starts.

Unfortunately, I realized that I spent the night in the royal palace while saying that I would be back at Chante soon. Maybe Chante was waiting for me to make dinner. Maybe you're pissing me off. When I think about it, I feel very sorry for myself.

I didn't even think that Chante already knew the fact that she spent the night in Jen's room.

Updates will become irregular for a while.

I'm sorry! I'm in a hurry here and I can't take the time to write… I'll find a time between them and keep writing to the last one, so I appreciate your patience!
