Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 663
◈ 663. [Side Story] Kiss Me Good-Bye
Even when the world is about to be destroyed, people weigh the pros and cons..
As the world is about to be destroyed, the organization is shaken and shows signs of disintegration..
It is the job of the head of the organization to embrace such people and unite them again..
It's not easy, but funnily enough, there's always romance in this world..
The mood of the kings changed with a letter from a princess who fell into a coma while fighting at the forefront..
Some looked at each other with touched faces, some with embarrassed faces, and nodded..
I smiled and looked around the crowd..
A romantic world where sincere letters are read with sincerity. This is why I like this world.
“Pfft…….”
King Aryan was a wise man..
I realized that no matter what I said here, it would be nothing compared to the words of my daughter who fell while fighting on the front line..
“…… I will stay here at the front for a few more days and see what happens. But the fact that we in the North, including my daughter, have made enormous sacrifices.…….”
After watching King Aryan spout some more nonsense, I turned my eyes to Kuilan..
“I owe it to Yoon..”
The wire that was almost shaken was immediately sewn shut. I didn't ask you to write a will with this intention... … Thanks to you, I spent an hour.
“Yoon is a loyal woman..”
I poked Kuilan's side with my elbow as he silently nodded..
“I heard you, Kuilan. I heard you even made a declaration of love? I'm finally ready to accept Yoon's feelings.?”
“……To be honest, I still don't know..”
Well, even after getting to this point, you still don’t know? Do you just want to get hit??
It doesn't look like it, but this werewolf bastard who is really very cautious when it comes to dating answered seriously..
“However, Yoon treated me with such loyalty first. I also believe that I should repay with due loyalty..”
“Righteousness (righteousness)…….”
I wonder if it's a word used between a man and a woman having a romantic relationship, but is there such a thing as a relationship? Could this be romantic too?.
Anyway, thanks to you, the kings' shaky discipline(?) was once again brought under control, and I thought it was resolved well..
“Ah, everyone is gathered together..”
My father - Imperial Emperor Traha 'Peacemaker' Everblack strode inside..
“Well done. It's already been announced throughout the empire, so now if I just tell you, I'll be announcing it to the whole world..”
The emperor, who came next to me, smiled at me, then raised his large hand and held my shoulder. And he declared.
“I intend to crown my son Ash as the crown prince of the Everblack Empire. As of today!”
It was a light tone, like 'I'm planning to choose beef for dinner tonight', but the content was by no means light..
The surprised kings hurriedly straightened their posture..
Of course I was calm. Because this was what I requested from the emperor in the first place..
‘Even if I don't sit in the crown prince's seat, the next imperial power is mine anyway..’
Of the children born to the emperor, I am the only one left. No one will fail to guess that I will be the next emperor..
But guessing and confirming are different things..
Being crowned as crown prince is nothing short of declaring to the world that I am the next emperor of the Everblack Empire..
And, there is only one reason for moving this matter forward in such a hurry..
‘I must be the representative of humanity.’
I glanced at the glass on the hall table..
A bright golden light was shining in my eyes reflected in the glass..
sacralization)-
Finally, a sign appeared that I, as the ‘representative of humanity’, had begun to attain divinity..
The feeling of moving away from humans was terrifying, but there was no time to worry about that now. I was in a situation where I had to use all the variables available to me..
Suddenly, I remembered what the emperor said before..
- What if the world is really heading towards destruction? As the leader of this front, you will also naturally have the opportunity to gain divinity..
I hope you make a good decision at that time..
- When you attain godhood, you can know the ugly truth of this world. And I can never go back to how it was before.
- However, if the world is truly heading towards destruction, you will definitely obtain that power. It's probably a situation where you have to grasp at straws..
It happened as it was said..
I am in a situation where I have to grasp at straws, to accelerate my own sanctification… … I have spread the announcement of this crown prince's investiture in order to spread awareness throughout the world that I am the representative of humanity..
Under the emperor's instructions, news spread through temple communication magic scattered throughout the empire..
Now all the people of the empire will have accepted the fact that I am the next emperor..
“Would it have been easier if I had requested it earlier??”
The emperor smiled at me with a teasing look on his face, as if asking why he was entering the sacred world only now. I smiled bitterly..
“Both the position of the emperor and the guardian deity of the tribe are lonely and difficult positions..”
The Emperor squeezed my shoulder once and whispered softly in my ear..
“It is a penance you have committed yourself to. Please take it sweetly.”
“…….”
Then he let go of my shoulder, and the emperor walked in front of the kings and shouted loudly..
“Now, why is everyone so depressed? Isn’t this an event to cheer up the warriors before they leave for the final battle? Let's spend time laughing and having fun!”
***
The departure ceremony was held in front of the beautifully restored South Gate..
Although the area was dark due to the lack of sun, the southern wall illuminated by torches looked spectacular enough..
Today's event also celebrated the completion of restoration of the southern wall..
The ceremony took place.
The kings of each country gave blessings and advice to the warriors leaving on the expedition..
The children from Crossroads who were waiting next to him made wreaths and hung them around the necks of the heroes who were leaving tomorrow. Citizens applauded thunderously each time..
“…….”
The expressions of the heroes shimmering in the torchlight were solemn, the expressions of the kings were determined, the expressions of the citizens were worried, and the children laughed without knowing anything..
As Commander-in-Chief of the World Defense Front, it is my turn to speak. I read Yoon's letter one more time on behalf of my candidacy ticket..
People looked impressed, but I suddenly felt worried..
‘I wonder if Yoon will be forever embarrassed when he wakes up later.?’
No, I don't know. It was Yoon himself who told me to read this. I won't know until the next day.
The event ended around noon, and people began to disperse in small groups..
I have summoned the heroes to go out tomorrow. The heroes stood neatly in front of me, all wearing flower necklaces around their necks..
“We will gather in the backyard of the manor house by 7 a.m. tomorrow..”
I calmly conveyed once again the information I had announced in advance..
“I came well-armed, and today… … Take it easy. Do not drink too much or play excessively. I hope you all have a precious and meaningful time..”
I smiled faintly and nodded..
“dissolution. I'll see you tomorrow.”
chuck!
The heroes saluted me all at once and immediately began to disperse in their own groups..
Each person, with acquaintances, colleagues, family, or alone... … We walked to our respective places to spend the night before the battle..
While watching this, I suddenly looked towards the open south gate..
At the border between darkness and where the light barely reached, there stood a woman with light blue hair fluttering. I walked towards it..
It was a serenade.
She was wearing her usual suit, with a coat on her shoulders, and the cold wind was blowing on her back..
Long blue hair, the hem of his coat fluttering in the wind..
Serenade was looking south through the open south gate..
The enemy territory where the expedition will leave tomorrow - the direction where the black lake is..
“serenade.”
“…….”
I called his name as I approached him, but the serenade was silent..
Between the darkness cast by the curtain and the shadows created by the lights... … Her expression was hard to see as her eyes were closed..
I was a little worried and lowered my head towards her..
“Serenade, are you okay? where does it hurt-”
next moment.
Serenade's long white hand reached out, grabbed my collar, and pulled my face down.-
She locked lips with me..
It happened so quickly that I was frozen stiff and had no idea what to do..
And unlike my stiff body, Serenade's lips were infinitely soft..
……No, it wasn't. I thought it was soft, but it wasn't..
Her lips, exhausted from hard work, were dry and cracked. She tried to cover it up with cosmetics, but the fatigue and pain inside didn't go away..
so… … It was more sad.
The kiss ended while I couldn't come to my senses, and our lips slowly parted..
Serenade slowly let go of my collar. I flinched and leaned back..
Lately, my face got hot. Likewise, the serenade whispered, bowing her newly flushed face..
“I feel like I want to stop you from going..”
“…….”
“Into that darkness... … I want to grab you by the hem of your pants and beg you to go into hell where monsters lurk. Don't go. Just stay by my side.”
“…….”
“What if the world is destroyed? Of all the people in this world, why do you have to risk your life? Let's leave the world to others to protect, and let's run away. Let's go far away... … Actually, I'd like to say that.”
Serenade's silver eyes were sparkling with water as she slowly raised her head..
“It’s selfish, right? But this is my true intention. If the world is going to end, I want to run away hand in hand with you to the other side of the world until it catches up with us.…….”
“……serenade.”
“But that's not your path.”
Serenade tried to smile, but in the end, overflowing tears ran down both cheeks..
“Because you are a person who will try to save others and the world even if it hurts you. Because he’s that kind of person… … Because I love you.”
“…….”
“I'll wait here. Until the moment your highness improves... … therefore…….”
In the end, I couldn't stand it anymore and approached the sobbing Serenade with her shoulders shaking..
I slowly hugged her body and gently kissed her forehead..
When my lips touched, Serenade closed her eyes tightly and her back trembled. It was so cute that I couldn't help but laugh..
“I will be back. So, trust me.”
“…….”
Then Serenade looked up at me with a somewhat sullen silver gaze.,
“Not the forehead.”
He suddenly said something like this.
I blinked because I didn't understand..
“huh?”
“Not the forehead, properly… … Please do it on your lips.”
“…….”
Serenade's face was so red as she said that. Maybe I'm the same way…….
I stuttered, not knowing what to do, and Serenade closed her eyes as if she didn't know what to do..
hey! You should lead me, what if you leave everything to me like that? I'm a beginner, beginner, beginner……!
‘Err, I don’t know..’
I wrapped my arms around her waist and slowly lowered my head... … Again, the serenade and her lips overlapped..
We kissed for a long time in the pitch black winter night..
The whole world was cold and dark, but the body heat we touched was warm..
Even if everything is immersed in darkness, as long as I have this warmth... … So much so that you can be sure you won't get lost..
Yes, I will never forget.
This small, trembling warmth that delicately fills my arms…….
***
next morning.
Receiving a grand send-off from the soldiers and citizens lined up on the left and right of the teleport gate, the Black Dragon Suppression Expedition set out..
Without any idea what would happen in this battle.
