Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 660

◈ 660. [Side Story] Last Night On Earth (3)

Yoon opened his twitching eyes..

My blurry vision gradually became clearer. Then, a middle-aged man with a familiar face appeared in front of me..

“……dad?”

“Yoon!”

A middle-aged man with the same voluminous ivory hair as Yun shouted happily..

Miller Aryan, the king of the Northern Aryan Kingdom, came down to see his youngest daughter in person..

“Yoon, you’ve come to your senses! This dad thought you were going to get into trouble.…….”

“Dad, how did we get here?……?”

“I heard that my beloved youngest daughter is deathly ill. Of course, my father should come and visit.?”

The King laughed, but Yun frowned dissatisfied..

Her father, Miller Arian, was a good king, but he was far from a good father..

He was a man who was willing to throw his children as political means if necessary..

Just two years ago, didn't he pursue a marriage engagement with Prince Ash without even asking Yun's intentions?.

A man who cries in front of his daughter and says he loves her, but then turns around and is willing to let his children die for the good of the country. This political figure was the king of the Aryan kingdom..

“To cure your illness, the national treasure of our Aryan Kingdom... … I used the holy relic ‘Tears of the Pole’..”

So when Yoon explained that his father used that precious national treasure to heal himself, his first feeling was anxiety..

At that time, the priest next to him spoke carefully to the king..

“your majesty. Although the holy relic is effective, it cannot completely heal the princess's injuries..”

“what? How can that be? Do whatever it takes to get better!”

“‘‘Tears of the Pole’ is a condensation of divine power… … It is not effective on injuries that cannot be healed by divine power in the first place. It's a miracle that the princess came to consciousness even for a moment..”

The King frowned..

“So, something. Not only will my daughter not get better, she will soon lose her consciousness again… … Is that what you mean??”

“Sorry to inform you, but that's right..”

“Oh my god, how could such a tragedy happen?…….”

Miller Ariane sighed, tearing at the hair beneath the crown..

“My youngest daughter, whom I love the most... … To have to go through something like this on the Battlefront, wow…….”

“…….”

Yoon narrowed his eyes..

Slowly, I began to understand why my father was going overboard like this..

“Not only did our Aryan Kingdom lose its national treasure, the secret ship 'Arian Bear', but its beloved youngest princess and brave warriors were also killed or injured. Even though I used the national treasure 'Tears of the Pole', I couldn't heal my daughter. Even compared to other countries, it is an overwhelming loss. Isn't that right, Yoon??”

My father was planning to use even this for politics..

“To all the kings gathered here, and to the leader of the World Defense Front... … I will charge you an appropriate price. And I declare that our Aryan kingdom can no longer afford to bleed..”

“…….”

“So Yoon, please explain how hard you have worked and how much pain you have suffered. Then this father will take care of the rest..”

The Aryan Kingdom participated in the World Defense Front, but only in this matter under the leadership of Yun, who acted as the king's representative..

The king never came down from his hometown in the north and was always passive in participating in the war..

“While helping the South, we must discuss in detail the fatal losses suffered by the North and seek appropriate compensation. And we need to get out of this. So, Yoon. For my father’s sake, for my country’s sake, please tell me quickly. huh?”

“…….”

Yun looked to the side. She was preparing to write down her words before Yun lost consciousness again..

Every word you say, your father will use politically..

Yoon sighed heavily..

“father. The destruction of the world is just around the corner. Even in this situation... … You should do that?”

“Yoon, you are a smart kid..”

The King smiled softly as he held his daughter's hand tightly..

“There's no way the world is really going to end, right? This is just a Southern monster outbreak. It always happens every year.”

“…….”

“Since the Southerners do not want to be the only ones harmed, their intention is to pass on their losses to us by making them jointly responsible. This is what the empire has always done. This is very much a political fight..”

“…….”

“My father does everything for the country. He is there for you too. so…….”

Yoon kept his mouth shut..

It was then. a guard shouted from outside..

“Ah, Beast King Kuilan has arrived.!”

King Aryan frowned..

“Beast King? Did the beast people have a king? who-”

Suddenly!

The door opened violently, and Kuilan pushed his way into the hospital room..

At the appearance of the giant werewolf, everyone in the newly arrived Aryan Kingdom, including King Aryan, was frightened, but Yun smiled happily..

“Kuilan! What, you look very handsome?”

“……Yoon.”

Kuilan walked over without paying attention to the others around him and carefully sat down next to her bed..

“You are the first person to call me handsome after seeing me like this. Everyone is busy being scared.”

“The muscles got bigger and the hair got thicker? Handsome should be called handsome, right?.“

A faint smile flashed across Kuilan's face as he transformed into a wolf..

“I'm glad you came to your senses..”

“haha. That's sad. It's not that I woke up because I was healed, it was that the divine power contained in our country's national treasure was poured into me and I was made to regain consciousness for just a moment... … Looks like he'll fall asleep again soon.”

“that…….”

Yun looked straight at Kuilan, who was swallowing his words..

“Kuilan. I have a favor to ask you..”

“Anything I can give you.”

“Before going into this battle, please publish my will. So that everyone on the World Defense Front knows.”

Kuilan opened his eyes in confusion at the unexpected request..

“I didn't say the will was shameful.?”

“It's a shame. But, it's necessary..”

Yun held out his dry hand. Kuilan squeezed that hand tightly..

“I will do it?”

“……If that's what you mean.”

“Hehe, thank you. I will believe it.”

The effect of the holy relic was ending, as the light wrapped around Yun's body began to fade..

Yun's eyes slowly closed again. A faint smile crossed Yun’s lips..

“I don't know if someday I'll wake up again…….”

“you will wake up.”

“Then, I hope it will be a peaceful world then.…….”

“It will be peaceful.”

“Kuilan.”

Just before closing his eyes, Yoon whispered.

“I'm just saying this just in case, don't wait for me..”

“…….”

Kuilan tried to answer, but Yun had already lost consciousness again..

After putting Yun down on the bed, Kuilan slowly got up. King Aryan, who was standing behind him, roared! I cleared my throat.

“Yeah, that… … Beast King Kuilan. Nice to meet you. I am the one who becomes Yoon’s father..”

“…….”

“You have Yoon's will, right? Will you return it to me??”

“I hate talking.”

Kuilan, who flatly refused, slowly turned around..

The shocked Aryan king rolled his eyes and asked:.

“What right do you have to refuse? Why do you have my daughter's will in the first place??”

“Because I am Yoon’s comrade in arms..”

“Are you trying to steal my daughter's will just because she was a comrade at the front? You have no right to do that! Leave a will right away-”

“and.”

Kuilan growled and growled..

“Because I am also Yoon’s lover..”

“…….”

King Aryan opened his mouth..

The warriors and priests who had been watching Kuilan and Yun for a long time covered their mouths with their hands in surprise at the werewolf's declaration that he had finally acknowledged..

“If you want to hear the contents of the will left by your youngest daughter, King of the Aryan Kingdom,.”

Kuilan walked with long strides, pushed away the soldiers, and left the hospital room..

“How about participating in the launch ceremony of the World Defense Front that will be held in a few days??”

“Chu, departure ceremony?”

“To commemorate the warriors leaving to subdue the black dragon... … The departure ceremony is scheduled to be held soon. As Yun wishes, her will can be read there..”

“…….”

“I hope you hear it then. Of course, if you have the guts to remain here on the front line until then..”

No one stopped Kuilan, and he walked out of the barracks..

Kuilan took a deep breath as he looked at the city streets bathed in pitch-black darkness..

- I'm just saying this just in case, don't wait for me..

Yoon’s last voice flashed through my mind..

Kuilan closed his eyes tightly. A golden glow flashed across the wolf's face..

***

Winter silver top. Crossroads Branch.

This place, packed with lights, was busy as always. Workers rushed to various parts of the city carrying supplies, and messengers from all over gathered intelligence and information..

And the top attention room.

Serenade had stopped working for some reason and was asking her escort, a prosecutor dressed as a maid, Elise..

“Please take good care of His Highness Prince Ash, Elise..”

Serenade was repeating the words she had repeated several times while holding Elise's hand tightly..

“protect him Because he is the first to jump into the most dangerous places.…….”

“…….”

“The only one I can trust and ask for is you. tell me you can do it.”

Elise glanced up her sunken navy blue eyes and looked at her master..

Serenade had an aloof face, but there was a vague sense of anxiety on her face..

“……We'll do it, master..”

Elise bowed her head and answered..

To be honest, I didn't say anything with certainty..

Elise is clearly a competent prosecutor. She knew very well that her talents and skills were very outstanding..

Among fellow humans, there are not many who can compete with her..

However - this time the opponent is a black dragon..

Although she was selected for this black dragon subjugation expedition, Elise honestly wasn't sure. What on earth can he do??

Against that powerful evil dragon, is there any meaning to his sword dance??

As much as she knew that her talent and skills were outstanding, she was also well aware of the fact that her opponent's level was far beyond hers..

‘Prince Ash in front of such a being... … Can I protect it??’

But I had no choice but to answer. In front of the owner's silver gaze that trembles as if anxious.

Serenade also doesn't really believe and expect Elise to protect Ash. I guess you just want to grasp at straws..

The last night has fallen on the world, and destruction is just around the corner. A disaster that even billions of dollars could not help was approaching..

Elise had to watch quietly as Serenade's slender hand trembled as she held her hand tightly..

It was then.

“Lord of the top. A guest has arrived.”

A servant said outside the door. Serenade slowly let go of Elise's hand and quickly cleaned up her appearance and asked..

“Who are you??”

“That is, the Mermaid King has come.”

“ah. Hurry and take us inside..”

The door opened, and the Mermaid King - King Poseidon XIII came inside with his light blue long hair flowing..

Elise walked behind Serenade and greeted her, and Serenade smiled brightly and gave a commercial smile as usual..

“Welcome, Your Majesty Poseidon.”

“Serenade Countess.”

Poseidon, standing in front of the serenade, smiled bitterly..

“I'm sorry. After inheriting Lee Shin's power, my senses became overly sensitive... … I unintentionally overheard the conversation in the room..”

“yes? ah…….”

“He was worried about Prince Ash..”

Serenade's face turned bright red..

Even though it was a soundproofed room, the Mermaid King's physical ability had become strong enough to understand small speech..

“Hehehe. Don't be shy. It's natural to worry about your lover.”

“…….”

“However, don't worry too much. Protecting him is also the wish of all heroes on this front..”

King Poseidon smiled kindly..

“Everyone will throw themselves to protect him. If the subjugation and expedition are successful... … The commander will return safely..”

Of course, if subjugation… … If the expedition fails.

No one will come back alive. But no one said such a thing out loud..

“What I came here for is... … I already told Prince Ash. I think I should tell you too.”

King Poseidon's expression became serious. Serenade, who fixed his expression, also turned to face him..

“It's already funny to talk about what's after this battle, but we always have to be prepared for every eventuality..”

After taking a deep breath,

“I won't survive this battle.”

King Poseidon declared.

In response to the startled Serenade, King Poseidon spoke calmly..

“So, to discuss what the mermaid people will live like after my death... … I came looking for you.”
