Main Character Hides His Strength

87. Vengeance Blade (2)

I've never seen the king so angry.

What's wrong with being so angry at the stubborn queen?

Kim Sung-cheol tried to find the convenience of lost memories while focusing again, but it was rarely.

I used my head too much and was not feeling well because I ate or slept well.

‘I need to eat something for now. ’

Kim Sung-cheol took an apple out of the fruit basket in the room, woke up, bit it, and went back to the window to watch the couple fight.

‘Hmm, that would be fun. ’

It's just to make me feel better.

“What did I do wrong? What's with all the letters?! ”

His fighting style had changed.

Oksanna, who had heard him shout, changed her attitude and rather pressured him.

Enemies.

Kim Sung-cheol slashed his mouth again and tilted his head.

‘Hmm. What's going on? ’

Thousands of people started to flock to the garden in front of the palace. The restless midwives told the knights to drive out the spectators.

In a confused atmosphere, Oksanna's voice echoes once again.

“More importantly, why would His Majesty hijack someone else's letter? Does King Nimbus have the right to vet the queen's letters? ”

Unlike when I was angry, I write respectful words in a calm tone.

‘This fight, she won. ’

Usually, those who do not settle their excitement in this fight are defeated. It's a kind of mental game.

Kim Sung-cheol made a simple spectacle by eating the remaining apples.

Unlike the relaxed queen, Heather was trembling with letters.

He shakes his letter and writhes it out, rather than staring at her with grumpy eyes.

“How could you do that? Even with such a bold letter written to your ex-lover... how can you be so bold? You don't really think I'm your husband? ”

The king was almost crying.

He shakes his hand and head, not moving.

It was a pathetic sight, but on the other hand it was comical.

The queen looks at him and leaves with the maids.

“Apply for divorce papers with the Parish Head whenever you want. I'm always ready. Of course I'm responsible, so I'll give up the money neatly. ”

A cold word that is sharper than a scepter froze even in the spring wind.

The king who remained alone stayed there for a while and left in solitude, supported by the goddesses.

That was the fate of the emperor of a powerless country.

Kim Sung-cheol left the room thinking that he shouldn't let that poor king go as the same man and as his idol.

In front of the corridor, Maraca and Bertelkia cross.

“Huh? You. You said you had something to think about. ”

The serendipitous vertelgia speaks in a heartbreaking tone.

Kim Sung-cheol felt shy, but said without feeling faint.

“… I decided to think about it later. ”

“If you're going to quit so soon, why did you kick us out? Don't you hate us? ”

Bertelgia continues to speak aggressively.

“That's not true. You know, I...”

“You don't have any friends? ”

Earlier, when I kicked Bertelgia out, I thought she would be upset, but the wound was bigger than I thought.

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol had nothing to say.

It was his choice to finally fall for his thoughts.

Bertelkiah gazes at Kim Sung-cheol, who exercises his right to silence, then mutters as if he were a shaman who turns his back and casts a spell.

“Well, I can't help it. You're supposed to be a creationist! I'm the guide! You have to close your eyes, even when your teeth are shaking, your chills are lifting, your grain is cracking! ”

“Close your eyes? ”

Kim Sung-cheol asked with a glare.

“No.”

Bertelkiah shakes his head.

“Just temporarily working with you to appease the poor king! ”

After saying that, Bertelgia shrunk down and dug into Kim Sung-cheol's pocket.

Although the movement was more violent and neurotic than usual, Kim Sung-cheol was only thankful for the wide generosity of Bertelgia.

Watching him, Marakia scratched his beak and said.

“Even the smasher has his weaknesses. ”

“Shut up.”

Kim Sung-cheol did not show mercy to Marrakia. Looking at him with lifelike eyes, Marakia hurriedly turned her head to look away.

“Beep...”

“Let's go. That king, he might kill himself. ”

Bertelkia shakes her head as she looks in her pocket.

“That's not going to happen. ”

Kim Sung-cheol left behind a problematic Marrakia and headed to the king's place with a fast and slow walk.

The king was stuck in his collection room, where he collected a lot of souvenirs from Kim Sung-chul.

The knight guarding the door recognized Kim Sung-cheol and left. He didn't tell me, but he seemed to be asking Kim Sung-cheol to comfort the king.

Kim Sung-cheol quietly opened the door and entered the king's place.

The king was squatting in front of the statue of Kim Sung-cheol.

Kim Sung-cheol wondered when he saw that the Imperial officer's sword was stuck in the corner, but he just fell over.

The king looks more demoralized now than the king of a country. He looks like a boy during puberty.

Kim Sung-cheol approached him without a word.

When the king saw Kim Sung-cheol who was clean, he looked forward again.

“I'm sorry, I can't show you what it's like to be the king of a nation. ”

Kim Sung-cheol looked around the room and sat on the floor with the king beside him.

As the eye level lowered, Kim Sung-cheol's souvenir decorated in the room became more prominent.

I feel like I'm in Kim Sung-cheol's world for Kim Sung-cheol.

“Marriage fights are called knife cuts. ”

Kim Sung-cheol said in a calm tone.

But it's a nonsense.

Kim Sung-cheol is a bachelor and King DeHeather is a married man.

It makes no sense for a bachelor to talk to a married man about his difficulties in marriage.

On the other hand, Kim Sung-cheol was able to experience a stumped miracle in one word.

"Oh, my..."

While Sung-cheol Kim was looking for his next horse, the king fortunately opened his mouth.

“That's the first I've heard of it. Anyway, thank you. I can't believe you came here to comfort a guy like me. ”

“It shouldn't be difficult. What happened more than that? ”

After escaping the crisis, Kim Sung-cheol naturally moved on to the next question.

In his question, the king rubbed his eyes with one hand and said in a tone of frustration.

“The queen kept exchanging letters with him. ”

“Him? ”

“The prince of the ancient kingdom, Oxanna's ex-fiancée. ”

“That's a breach of marital obligation. ”

“I understood until I exchanged letters. But... in the letter I saw today... it said that I wanted to meet my son in the harbor. You said you were looking forward to the hot night again...”

Uh... hmm... ”

I have nothing to say.

It's a blatant act of unfaithfulness.

Vertelgia was also trembling vigorously.

“Did you write that letter after you found out? ”

Bertelkiah asked the king himself.

The king sighs and nods.

“The letter was delivered to my study as if it were a look. ”

“What...? ”

Vertelgia suddenly pushes over her pocket and asks in an unbelievable tone.

Kim Sung-cheol was also surprised.

While everyone was amazed, the king was lonely.

“That's what I think now. even though she's been so obstinate to me that I've been forcing myself to get a divorce. ”

Kim Sung-cheol thought to himself.

‘You know well. ’

But I couldn't say it out of my mouth.

I need something to cheer you up.

But I rarely think of good words.

His brain was expelled from searching for something that had been lost for a week, but most of all, Kim Sung-cheol was a man lacking the emotional expression to handle this situation appropriately.

Hmm... should I just tell them the truth? ’

It was when Sung-cheol Kim was not even able to do it, and was full of positivity.

Suddenly, the prince stood up.

Kim Sung-cheol stood up together in reflex, but the king quickly walked in front of Kim Sung-cheol and suddenly knelt on his knees.

“Please.”

Something unexpected happened.

King DeHeather was kneeling before Kim Sung-cheol and begging for something.

In astonishment, Kim Sung-cheol silently watched as his lips opened.

“Give me strength. ”

“... Power? ”

“I admire your heroism, of course, but one of the things that inspired me the most was that I got it all out with my bare hands, unlike everyone else. ”

You must have thought about it for a long time.

The prince said as if he had prepared a beverage beforehand. Kim Sung-cheol was able to instantly predict what the prince was thinking and what he would say.

‘King DiHeather... is it...? ’

A little disappointment touched Kim Sung-cheol's eyes, and soon the shadow of self-esteem fell.

The king knelt on his knees and continued to speak earnestly.

“I was born with royal blood, but I'm no different from you, a Summoner. There's no one to ask, no one to trust. But nevertheless... I... want to be strong. With all due respect to the Imperial troops, just like your enemies around the world...! ”

Kim Sung-cheol's expectations were right.

It feels like cold water.

Kim Sung-cheol waited for the prince's next words with a bad feeling.

“I want to be strong like you. Please show me the way. How to become as strong as you alone without relying on anyone...!! ”

It is true that King DeHeather respects Kim Sung-cheol.

However, what King Dichter really cares about and respects is not Kim Sung-cheol himself, but Kim Sung-cheol, who is strong enough to face the world alone.

That's right, Angler.

Kim Sung-cheol, who was born as a prince of a small country and does not even see himself as a man, has in some way become a distorted idol.

‘This guy. After all, he wanted power. ’

Kim Sung-cheol also anticipated the next question.

He will ask Kim Sung-cheol for it.

How to climb the steps of God.

His predictions were not wrong.

“Did you... climb those stairs? ”

The king asked.

Kim Sung-cheol nodded with a expressionless face.

Then King DiHeather's face lit up clearly.

He fell to Kim Sung-cheol with a smile close to joy.

And I got what Kim Sung-cheol expected.

“Please... teach me... the secret to completing the steps... for me, the King of the Bad and Powerless Land...!" ”

At that moment, I felt Bertelgia.

Kim Sung-cheol's heart rate once again changes subtly.

Luckily, the change didn't last long.

Kim Sung-cheol said in a bold tone, feeling a familiar fatigue.

“King DiHeather. ”

“Yes..! Sir!"

“There's no easy way up the stairs. ”

Then the king cried out with two fists and cried out.

“Do you know how miserable it is for a husband to not hold his wife? ”

“ ……. ”

“You may die. Please tell me how. The consequences will be mine alone. ”

The king was desperate.

However, the more desperate and desperate the king became, the more tired Kim Sung-cheol felt.

“The stairs test everything. The moment you take the first step, all life so far unfolds before you in a parallel line. ”

Kim Sung-cheol said, looking away.

The king who tightened his head raised his head and stared at Sung-cheol Kim.

“The problem is then. The stairs test everything he does. not only life expectancy, but also hardness of the mind. ”

The next moment, a faint voice rang out in Kim Sung-cheol's brain.

[… the reason you were able to climb all the way up the stairs was never because you excelled.]

Immediately after the voice disappeared, the first dragon whispered.

I don't remember the details, but I said something about a similar purpose. Kim Sung-cheol and Ekhart climbed the stairs not because they were excellent, but because the time had come and the stairs allowed them.

However, no matter how generous the stairs are, there is no way to let someone finish a bad mess that can't handle one problem in their own house.

Kim Sung-cheol had two options.

Say something nice and persuade the king.

Or tell the truth and disappoint the king.

Kim Sung-cheol chose the latter, of course.

“There is no way up the stairs. King DiHeather, you will be dissolved in the furnace of God before you climb the third step. So I have nothing to say or say to you. ”

I could see Kim Sung-cheol the whole time I was saying something cold.

The anticipated young king's face distorted at all times and twisted in despair.

Kim Sung-cheol left his room with the king on his knees.

“Divorce is the only answer I see. ”

I was hurt, but I couldn't help it.

Sung-cheol Kim left the king's stronghold with a heavy heart.

He didn't see.

The face of the king alone, his eyes, his whole body covered with a shadow of madness.

It was not long after Kim Sung-cheol left the room.

“Divorce?! ”

The king mutters in a different voice.

“Divorce...? Me…?”

The king stood up and looked at the statue of Kim Sung-cheol in the middle of the room with his eyes shaking dangerously.

“You call that a pierced mouth? How dare... I... like that woman... at first sight! The bitch who stole the dog! ”

He pulls out the sword of the Imperial officer that was strangled in the corner.

Shhh.

The sword of the imperial guard was drawn from the scabbard.

“Shame on you! You son of a bitch! You can teach me that! ”

The king swung his sword like crazy towards Kim Sung-cheol's ancestor. Kim Sung-cheol's ancestors were slashed by the sword, and Bertelkia, who was holding his arm while it was cut off, fell away together.

“Ugh…! Ugh...!"

The king, who was swinging his sword for a long time, breathed out a harsh breath, sweating.

“Because he... he doesn't know! What do you know?!! ”

The shout that I endured finally burst out.

A knight guarding the outside enters the room.

“Your Majesty, are you all right?! ”

The king glanced at the knight with a tired, but insensitive face, then said helplessly, expressing a cold expression.

“Go and get this garbage out of my sight right now. ”

In the king's affairs, the knight immediately summoned his acolyte to remove Kim Sung-cheol's dismembered ancestor.

The ancestor, handed over to the two servants, was transported to the back of the palace, in front of the storehouse where the firewood was stored.

The woodcutter kicked his tongue as he saw his ancestor being loaded.

“Another enemy of the world? If you're going to destroy it every week, then why are you making it? It's not like there's a lot of money in this country. ”

He grunts and opens the door to the warehouse.

Inside, countless unseen statues of human form were left in a sinister shape.

Each of the faces was shaped like that, but the statues represented one person.

Who alone possesses the power to stand against the world.

That is, Kim Sung-cheol.
