368fury. How to re-engrave a sketch (2)
“I dare say that for the next two months, every day, 24 hours a day, your Majesty will be as close to me as possible.?”
“…….”
Lloyd's voice knocks on my ear..
A word boldly thrust out like a straightener.
King Alicia fell silent at that suggestion..
And I thought seriously for a moment..
Should I hit you over the head with an ink bottle right here?.
Or should I just slightly change the author's cheekbone structure with my bare hands?.
But she managed to persevere..
On the other hand, I remembered.
‘He was originally like this. Someone who doesn't say crazy things without thinking.’
It's always been like this.
If you look at me right now, I just look like a crazy person..
In the long run, it was often a trick..
That was Lloyd Frontera's peculiar quirk..
“under. Really.”
When her thoughts reached that point, she stopped laughing and laughed as if she was picking up something ridiculous she had dropped..
“Jim says I have to stay with you 24 hours a day, every day, for two months..”
“Yes, it is. majesty.”
“Does this mean Jim's left arm will be healed?.”
“It will happen, Your Majesty..”
“Will it happen? I'm not sure..”
“It's because I can't be sure..”
“It sounds like it's just a possibility..”
“But if there is a possibility, shouldn't we seize it?.”
Lloyd's voice became increasingly serious as he answered the king's questions..
Possibility.
If you see it, you should hold it..
Even if it was an illusion.
At least once you hold it, you will be able to tell whether it is an illusion or not..
Moreover, when there is no other way, like now, we must try even more..
‘From what I saw in the ending spoiler, that's definitely the case. Because she is the king’s sister. From the moment he found out that his left arm was paralyzed and necrotic, he would have used all kinds of methods. Still, they all failed.’
That seemed to mean that the symptoms of that left arm could not be treated with the methods mobilized by the royal family..
So you have to fix it yourself.
Maybe this is the only hope and possibility.
‘I must convince you.’
If persuasion fails, the king may lose his left arm and become corrupted..
With that in mind, Lloyd chose each word of his next statement carefully..
“Your Majesty will probably remember. I'm talking about a time ago when I indiscriminately absorbed Your Majesty's mana..”
“hmm. Every time I remember. Because such a terrible experience is rare..”
“…….”
“Okay. It's all in the past, and as a result, you saved my life. But mentioning that incident now means that your suggestion just now is related to that incident.?”
“Of course, your highness..”
“Are you really going to absorb my mana like you did then??”
“Now it's the opposite, Your Majesty..”
This is why I feel comfortable talking to the King..
Because I tend to guess their intentions every time before adding flowery language or giving long-winded explanations..
Lloyd bowed his head politely..
“Actually, the name of the mana management method I used at the time is called ‘Asurahan Heart Method’..”
“shabby way of thinking?”
“Yes, Your Highness. As you can guess from the name, it is a meditation method created by Sir Habiel Asrahan, and I have helped in its completion to some extent..”
“Hmm. Interesting. It is the mind law that produced Grand Masters and Sword Masters..”
King Alicia's eyes flashed as she looked at me..
Indeed, he is a swordsman to his core..
Ever since the story about mental law came out, his eyes were especially sparkling..
Lloyd said, suppressing the bitter smile that was about to form on his lips..
“Yes, just as you said, it is the Simbeop that raised me and Sir Asrahan..”
“Because there is something special about it?”
“This is a mental method specialized for the absorption, processing, circulation and discharge of mana..”
“Just as you once absorbed my mana?”
“Yes, I do..”
It comes over.
Sister King, I am completely interested..
So now is the time to strike the final blow..
Lloyd, who had a hunch, said.
“So, I dared to entertain the idea of informing His Majesty the King of my dark heart..”
“Tell Jim that way?”
“So it is, Your Majesty..”
“Did you think that this would heal Jim's left arm?.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
good night. The flow of the story is not bad..
Lloyd whipped his tongue even more diligently..
“2I will stay by your side for months, every day, 24 hours a day, as long as possible. I will tie one of my hands and your other hand and circulate my mana into your left arm throughout the day..”
“if?”
“Symptoms of paralysis caused by the interruption of mana circulation will be alleviated..”
“Are you sure??”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“Then next?”
“I will alleviate the symptoms of paralysis and at the same time teach you the dark way of thinking..”
“I think it would be difficult for Jim to learn that..”
“I know what you are talking about. Your mana circulation system must have been completed a long time ago when you reached the level of a sword master, and I am well aware of the fact that in such a situation, it would be extremely impossible to learn a new mental method that would become the foundation..”
“But how can Jim learn it?.”
“2If you constantly reflect on your body the path of mana that I guide you through your hands that are touching mine for a whole month, you will definitely be able to learn it..”
“So to speak, it sounds like you're going to lay the groundwork for learning, so I'm telling you to do your best from then on..”
“I truly apologize, Your Majesty..”
Lloyd bowed his head deeply..
And on the other hand, I had a hunch.
‘it's okay. I came over.’
I felt that the King was trying to accept our offer..
But at the same time, I also felt that there was some hesitation..
Indeed, after a while.
The King asked with a slightly reluctant expression..
“I have heard your suggestion well. To be honest, I find it very appealing. But there is something that bothers me a bit..”
“I dare you to ask, are you worried about the reactions of those around you??”
“That's right.”
A wry smile appeared on the king's lips..
“As you well know, Jim doesn't have a partner yet. However, if you stay close to me day and night for two months with someone who has not made any promises about the future, and who is also a subject and public servant... … In that situation, wouldn't anyone misunderstand Jim and you?.”
“You are truly right, Your Majesty..”
Lloyd blithely affirmed the king's concerns..
Actually, I already guessed it and was worried about it..
It was also something that had to be pointed out..
‘Even if just a young lady from a noble family did something like that, there would be an uproar, especially since the king's sister is literally the king. Because he is the king of this country. But what about being caught up in such a scandal and being talked about? I'll never like it.’
It won't be just a scandal.
It is a matter of the prestige of the royal family and the king himself..
But fortunately, Lloyd had already thought of a solution..
“If it's such a misunderstanding, there's no big problem, Your Highness..”
“It sounds like there is a solution..”
“Of course, your highness..”
“Say it.”
The king's command was given.
Lloyd said without even breathing..
“I dare not doubt Your Majesty's immense and outstanding leadership, charisma, and governing ability..”
“…….”
“In addition, I firmly believe in the great political power and state administration ability that Your Majesty has shown so far, as well as the persuasive ability to sway everyone..”
“…….”
“This is my hope and secret, Your Majesty..”
“Tsk.”
Lloyd shamelessly bowed his head..
King Alicia clicked her tongue without realizing it..
Soon a grumble came out of her mouth..
“So, to sum it up, I'm leaving the problem to Jim..”
“Seong-eun is a disaster, no, I truly apologize..”
“Do I truly apologize??”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“Phew. Pick your tongue with an awl.”
“……yes?”
“No, I'm talking to myself..”
“…….”
I heard everything.
But Lloyd didn't bother to refute it..
He already had a hunch.
The King decided to accept his offer..
As a result, I decided to deal with the gossip that would arise..
Indeed, King Alicia nodded..
“I understand.”
“So, what you are saying is?”
“I know very well how mean, mean, and nasty you are..”
“…….”
“Also, I understand Jim. Even if you have to say something that will disturb Jim's ears right now, your proposal won't be that bad. No, I won't necessarily deny that your suggestion may be the helping hand that Jim needs most at the moment..”
“If you do it?”
“I will accept your offer.”
“Seong-eun is devastated..”
done.
I spent an hour with this.
Lloyd was inwardly relieved and nodded politely..
“If you do, I will be ready to assist you in teaching you the subtle methods of meditation.…….”
“Is it really necessary to prepare separately??”
“yes?”
I was shocked without knowing.
Lloyd raised his head from his lowered position..
Thanks to you, I was able to witness it..
King Alicia is looking over here..
A strange smile appeared on her lips.
“You can just start right now, but is there really a need for grand preparation??”
“Uh, it's…….”
“Didn't you say it yourself? Good for Jim. It's a good way to heal Jim's left arm. That's why. If it's a good thing, there's no need to delay it by worrying about procedures and preparations. Isn't it??”
“…….”
That's not true?
Lloyd wanted to respond like that..
But those words didn't come out easily..
King Alicia rolled up the corners of her mouth and tilted her head to one side..
“Or, does it require a separate preparation process that cannot be revealed to Jim??”
“Oh, that's not it…….”
“No, no?”
“In fact, my heart is ready.”
“…….”
“No. I'm going to implement it, right away..”
“It's good.”
Her lips finally bloom with a satisfied smile.
Looking at that scene, Lloyd unconsciously felt a bead of sweat running down his spine..
After King Alicia accepted this proposal,.
This was because the unfolding situation was completely different from what was expected..
‘Hmm, I thought I would be very shy, show resistance, or be completely hesitant, so I would have to appease the king a lot to prepare for the training camp..’
When I actually looked into it,.
It was the complete opposite..
Why do you put off good things?.
Why don't you start right away?.
Rather, I was brushing this side.!
‘10 stars for proactiveness. Wow.’
Probably because I was very nervous about my left arm..
It must have been something he suffered alone, unable to easily reveal to anyone..
Thinking like that, I was able to understand the king's proactive attitude after making the decision..
“I understand, Your Majesty. If you come, I will start your training camp right away..”
“Okay, so what do I do now??”
“First of all, as I said earlier, I think we need to tie each other's hands..”
“Jim's left hand and your right hand?”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
Lloyd looked around the office..
I happened to see a leather strap used to tie a bundle of documents..
“I will provide you with mana through my tied hands..”
“Are you saying you want to circulate mana to Jim's left arm?.”
“That's right, Your Majesty. At the same time, we will closely observe and analyze the mana circulation path that Your Majesty has completed..”
“Based on the results of the analysis, we will take a look at the place where the foundation of the shabby mind method will be created.?”
“That is correct, Your Majesty..”
“It must be a similar process to your specialty, surveying or design..”
“So it is, Your Majesty..”
“I understand. Implement it now.”
“Yes, Your Highness. Please excuse me if I do this..”
Lloyd approached the King..
The King held out his left hand in a slightly awkward motion..
Is it because of paralysis or because of inner hesitation?.
But Lloyd didn't care.
I tried to do that.
I stretched out my right hand.
The tips of my fingers touched.
I paused slightly without realizing it..
Got it. It was warmer than I expected.
But that was then..
“Why are you so hesitant??”
Fingers intertwined. You can't even remove it at all. Hold the pod tightly.
“Make sure to tie it up quickly..”
“……I understand, Your Majesty..”
How did you tie your hands from then on?.
I couldn't believe how flustered I was..
How difficult was it to tie the string with your left hand?.
The King's older sister, who was worse off, held out her remaining hand..
Thanks to this, I could barely remember how I was able to complete the knot that tied them together..
“It's because it's difficult to tie it like this. In most cases, you shouldn't even solve it..”
“……It seems so..”
When I finally came to my senses, I saw that the hands of the King's sister and this person were tightly tied..
how tight did you tie it.
I felt a little dizzy..
“It feels like the blood isn't flowing well..”
“So, is it uncomfortable??”
“That's not true. but-”
“but?”
“By any chance, I hope your Majesty will feel uncomfortable..”
“The luggage is okay. After all, aren't you going to have to relax your hands for a moment when washing, going to the bathroom, or changing clothes?.”
“That's true..”
“What's the problem if I do it?.”
“Umm, no. If you do, I will start mana treatment right away..”
This is a lot more awkward than I thought..
My face feels hot..
To compensate for that, I tried to start mana treatment right away..
But that was then..
“for a moment.”
The King's sister pulled her left hand..
The flow of mana she was trying to infuse into her left hand was disrupted..
What is it again this time?.
I looked up.
Then I see her smiling smile.
“Before that, tonight, an important matter occurred to me that you must take care of..”
“yes?”
“Come this way.”
She pulled her left arm further..
Like a doll broken down by the ropes.
I was dragged helplessly..
And then I was pushed into a chair by a hand pressing my shoulder..
It was an office chair..
“majesty?”
“Shh.”
She sat side by side on the chair next to her..
I pulled the chair and closed the distance..
Are you trying to pick something up on your desk?.
He stuck out his upper body and stretched out his right hand..
The face came this way.
For a brief moment, I felt my breath..
Should I step back?.
I was embarrassed.
But then, something was held in my left hand..
When I looked down, it was a pen..
“majesty?”
I mumble without knowing.
Then the King looked at me intently..
“why? I'm sure this isn't my first time holding a pen..”
“yes, of course…….”
“From now on, just do as Jim tells you..”
What are you trying to do?.
Why does the King's sister smile so joyfully?.
But why does that smile make my heart beat so much?…….
‘Are you crazy? it's crazy? Wake up, man.’
I desperately held on to my spirit..
It can't be taken over like this..
I can't collapse here..
My dream is to date and marry an ordinary woman, have rabbit-like children, and live a normal life..
So, a situation like this where you are caught by the King's sister, where you have to choose a wedding venue, worry about where to go for your honeymoon, and think about how many children you will have and what style of home education you will do, should never have happened.…….
“Now, this is a document that needs a signature, and this is Jim's signature..”
“……yes?”
Cheer up.
Her voice hits the gap in my delusions like a chestnut..
I quickly came to my senses..
saw her.
A mischievous look in this direction.
I followed that gesture and looked down..
Before I knew it, I saw a pile of documents spread out all over the desk..
She said.
“sign it.”
“yes?”
“sign it.”
“…….”
No way, it's all in this bundle of documents?
An ominous premonition was creeping in..
But why does this type of premonition always come true?.
Her mischievous smile has become much brighter..
“It would be really nice to have to stick together day and night for a while. Surely you're not trying to make an excuse that it's difficult to sign just because you're left-handed? Jim's signature is here, as you can see, it's very simple..”
“Uh, um, your majesty?”
“So sign everything..”
“Do you mean all of these documents here??”
“of course.”
“…….”
“You should refrain from even dreaming about sleeping until you finish everything..”
“…….”
Please inform me, sister… … No, your highness.
I prayed and pleaded with my heart.
But it was no use.
the night was long.
There were a lot of documents.
Meanwhile, this person was shaking his awkward left hand and playing with the pen..
The King just looked at me and smiled happily the whole time..
Are you happy to hand over your work?.
Is it fun to see this person groaning?.
Or do I have my own reasons?.
Anyway, it was an excessively long night..
