Chapter 179

179US proposal

Big names from around the world visited Korea..

Normally, this would have been good news that showed the status of the Republic of Korea as a country, but it was not good news at all for Korean President Andong-gil..

"okay. Will Her Majesty the Queen of England correct you??"

"sure. The Gate has taken a lot from humanity, but it has also given it something else.."

After the cataclysm, the British royal family also experienced huge changes..

The biggest change is Queen Victoria's awakening as a hunter..

The queen, who was in her 70s at the time and could not be considered young, awakened her magical powers and her body became younger..

It's not to the extent of saying that an old man has become a young man, but his physical age has become 40 years younger. It is not that strange considering that Korea's veteran hunters such as Association President Oh Kang-hyuk, Cheon Jin-soo, and Kang Jin-seong made corrections even when they were in their 70s..

Thanks to this, it is virtually confirmed that the current crown prince will die first..

'This princess in front of you is the likely next Queen of England.!

First Princess Diane, the granddaughter of Queen Victoria and a high-ranking British hunter, impressed President Ahn Dong-gil with her brilliant beauty..

"Then, please proceed with a full-scale discussion on this FTA with Minister Davidson. Shall we take a picture??"

"Ah, yes... that would be good.."

Ahn Dong-gil took a picture of himself shaking hands with Princess Diane and felt that the royal family, who also enjoyed modern culture, was different..

Since I've only dealt with the medieval royals that have become popular recently, I wonder if I've become relatively more comfortable with the British royals..

"By the way, Princess Diane. What is your next schedule? Our government will take care of you.."

"Oh, it's okay. It's been a while since I came to Korea, so I'd like to do some sightseeing.."

President Ahn watched Princess Diane disappear in an ordinary vehicle and muttered softly before heading to the meeting with Secretary Davidson..

"I'll give you a hundred percent?"

"······yes, maybe."

From the next queen of England to ministers from Japan, Belgium, Poland, and Norway, to Russian and French generals..

The deputy director of the U.S. Hunter Management Bureau would even openly announce that he was there to scout Leon..

"Tell Naju to increase the number of National Intelligence Service personnel! Tourists or whatever, we need to know the details of the meeting.!"

The opposition party that took place last week should resign! After the incident, the country was falling into uncontrollable chaos..

Pantheon fanatics protested to attack lawmakers, but public opinion criticized the president, asking why he couldn't control those bastards..

Now foreign countries are sending special envoys to take Leon away..

"Representative Han, you fucking bastard······."

If the opposition party's goal was to give the President big trouble, it could be said that they succeeded very well..

* * * *

Naju Plain, where the Pantheon Temple was first established.

This place was reborn as a sacred place as Leon settled in and purified the land polluted by magic, and the hammer of Geobric, the Holy Grail Knight of Demera, the goddess of life and abundance, was enshrined..

Recently, the religious power of Manshinjeon Naju Main Church has been further strengthened, as the number of sacred relics residing here has now become enormous..

Geobrick's Hammer, a sacred relic inherited by the knights of the pantheon from the gate of the Lionheart Kingdom. In addition, there are four Holy Grail Knights.

Even if they stayed still, the entire area called Naju was becoming a sanctuary just by their exhaled breath..

"The air is different. I never thought I would say this, but the space itself feels auspicious.."

"I heard that there are more than ten epic items.."

"The equipment of the Holy Grail Knights? And half of it······."

"Lionheart King... From the sword and spear to the Holy Grail. It is said that each and every one of them is incomparable even among epic level items.."

indeed. The scale of the pantheon is already the largest in Korea. Even the American Maverick Guild is said to be incomparable in terms of numbers alone..

What is more frightening than anything is the strength of each individual..

There is no one in Asia who can compare with the mysterious Queen of Magic, Yacht Spinner, who handles super-science weapons, and Vulcan, who recently came over as a survivor..

'It means that he is superior to all of them.?'

Leon's reputation was already widely known in England..

Because it was Leon who defeated the Wandering Demon Sword, the culprit of the London Incident, which was a major disaster for England..

"Princess, this meeting is······."

"I know it well. Because this has been discussed before."

AKA, resign! After Leon expressed his displeasure over the situation and rejected the hearing, Japan took the first step..

10He said he wanted to invite Pantheon to his country, promising support from Joen..

Provoked by this, the great powers, including Britain, rushed to send special envoys without paying attention to the Korean government..

Princess Diane is also one of those envoys..

"Money is a given, and we should promise to revise the law to take the pantheon into consideration. Actually, this is a basic stake.."

The problem is that special envoys from other countries also know this..

So what can the next Queen of England offer??

"Since ancient times, royal families have had the best diplomatic cards that they can use, both past and present.."

self-talk.

In other words, an arranged marriage.

Diane is thinking of proposing to Leon..

'Even if I think about it, there is no bride like me..'

Diane is still single. She is a royal woman who has not even decided on an engagement relationship..

However, if you marry her, you can sit next to the next Queen of England, have royal property worth hundreds of trillions, and become a member of the British royal family..

Is that all? Diane was confident that her beauty would also be formidable..

As a pure-blooded British person, she boasted honey-blondie hair shining golden, blue eyes like jewels, and a solid body built as a high-ranking hunter..

The best bride in England who combines beauty, power, and wealth... no, it is no exaggeration to say that she is the bride of the century..

"Are you okay princess??"

"Hehe, he's royalty. Arranged marriage is an old concept, but it is still valid. More than anything... I like His Majesty Leon.."

Before the benefits of marrying Leon, Princess Diane had favored him..

His ageless appearance makes it hard to believe that he is 300 years old. Diane's blonde hair, the prettiest face loved by the British people, also suits Diane's taste..

Above all, unlike the authority of the royal family, which was not as strong as before, you can feel the air of a powerful person from him..

Difference between constitutional monarchy and absolute monarchy. The Lionheart King had a reputation as an absolute monarch..

'He's the ideal groom. That person will like me too?'

Diane thought that if nothing else happened, there was a high probability that this marriage talk would take place. For the king of a ruined country, is there any other place for marriage more attractive than the royal palace of Great Britain??

"It's clear that Majesty Lionheart has no other women.?"

"Yes, from what I heard it looks like he is quite close to the Magic Queen, but there is no confirmation.."

"She's a magician queen... She seems to be quite a beauty, but she always wears a veil, so you should be able to tell.."

"No matter how beautiful she is, she can't compare to a princess.."

Okay, if you were so confident about your appearance, why would you wear a veil? Although there are occasional photos circulating on social media that slightly reveal the face, the full face has never been revealed..

"Then shall we have an audience with His Majesty the Lionheart King? where──"

Princess Diane takes a step and stops. In front of her was a woman in a dress with a veil.

"Are you Princess Diane from the British royal family??"

Beatrice, the magician queen. She came out to meet Diane..

"Oh, yes... you're the famous magician queen? My name is Diane Grace Phillips.."

Something is overwhelming about the atmosphere..

A survivor from another world. The magician queen of the Kingdom of Spero. Goddess of Fleur, Goddess of Dreams and Death.

There are many slogans referring to her, but she is always far away from being felt..

But I think I know because it’s right in front of me. A born queen, something that can be felt even beyond the veil and dress.······.

'bird, color?'

Before the strong authority, Diane felt a strange current that made her blush even when she saw the same woman in front of her..

'Wow, you are a formidable competitor. This won't be easy──'

"Then follow me. She is waiting for His Majesty ── Oh my!."

At that moment, the wind blew strongly. The wind blew the veil covering Beatrice's face, and for just a moment her face was revealed to Diane..

"ah······."

The veil was shaken by the wind for a split second. As soon as she put her veil back on, Diane felt disappointed..

I want to see that woman's face just a little more....

"princess······."

"······huh."

"It seems difficult."

"······I know."

* * * *

As a result, none of the envoys who came to see Leon received a positive response..

Princess Diane's proposal for marriage talks, the French envoy's proposal for a special law on religion, and Japan's proposal for large-scale investment..

None of them were very interesting to Leon. So for the last time──

"Your Majesty, it is an honor to meet you.."

A blond middle-aged white man wearing a stylish suit greeted Leon in court manners with a polite but dignified posture..

"Is it you? They say Lord Spinner is someone who knows the case.."

"Haha, I gave Lord Yacht Spinner quite a gift, and he seems to have liked it.."

With Leon's permission, the middle-aged white man carefully came up to the stage, presented a box containing a gift, and said:.

"This is Donald Cooper, Deputy Director of the United States Hunter Bureau.."

21century modern.

An elite official of the Cheon Jo-guk Hunter Agency, who transports hunters to air force planes. He spoke in a cool voice to Leon..

"We, the United States of America, can rebuild the Kingdom of Lionheart for you.."

* * * *

Donald Cooper, Deputy Director, Hunter Management Bureau.

Leon boldly made eye contact with an American official who promised to rebuild the Lionheart Kingdom..

'These are not empty words..'

Leon sensed that Donald's words were neither empty words nor lies..

The United States' annual budget is approximately KRW 4,000 trillion. It is a country that spends 1,000 trillion won on defense, which is twice as much as Korea's annual budget..

With the collapse of China and the decline of Russia, the U.S. defense budget was transferred to the Hunter Administration. I heard that the budget to be allocated next year is 200 trillion won..

Since one affiliated organization is that big, the absurd task of rebuilding the Lionheart Kingdom would not be impossible for them..

Of course, it will naturally lead to an invitation to go to the United States..

"How can your country rebuild my kingdom??"

When Leon showed interest, Deputy Donald drew a blueprint with a confident expression..

"We will give you land in America. You can choose a place that has enough land to build a country and is rich in marine resources for the Krashatriya people.."

All of the locations suggested by Deputy Director Donald were cities with considerable influence in the United States..

Each of the candidate sites is the size of the Korean Peninsula. The option of establishing a ‘kingdom’ on this amount of land was presented..

"It wasn't discussed in a day or two.."

"Yes, we, the United States, have been watching you for a long time.."

The U.S. government's plan for Leon's Scout was almost from the beginning..

The king of medieval minds from another world. Regardless of its nature, using the power of the goddess Demera to purify the polluted land was an irreplaceable miracle..

However, now that the pantheon has spread considerably, a considerable number of followers of the Demera Church have begun to appear in the United States, and the lands contaminated with witchcraft are being purified one by one..

There had to be a discussion as it was said that the farmers of the Goddess Demera should send the ten structures to the pantheon..

"However, Your Majesty's value... Please excuse me. Your Majesty's mere presence brings enormous benefits to our country. Did the Japanese government propose 10 trillion yen? That hit you too hard."

Deputy Director Donald was confident that even buying Leon's combat power would be worth more..

"It's not just your Majesty. Lord Vulcan, Queen Beatrice, and Lord Yacht Spinner will come together.."

Its great value. It was not a figure that could be measured in terms of money or anything like that..

"Religiously, I want His Majesty and the Pantheon to take root in our country. Of course, there must be conflict with existing religions, but Christians are not bombers like the indigenous religions of the desert.."

Leon assessed Deputy Director Donald and the U.S. government's intentions and issued a warning:.

"Do you think we can treat Jim like the Christian Pope??"

"Vatican City... you mean."

If you're looking for another country within a country, you don't have to look far to find the Vatican City in Italy..

Nominally independent state with the Pope as head of state and largely dependent on the Italian government.

Leon said to Deputy Donald, resting his chin on the back of his hand..

"Jim's primary mission is to spread the gods' doctrine, but before that, Jim is the absolute king of Lionheart. My authority and power are given by the gods. It is not something that can be influenced by human circumstances.."

In short, if you establish a kingdom, it is an absolute monarchy. Leon had made it clear.

"Hahaha... Of course, I am aware of it.."

Cold sweat formed on Deputy Director Donald's forehead. Of course, the best deal is for the Pantheon to remain a religious shrine in a nominally independent state, like the Vatican City in Italy..

However, the pantheon had the power to destroy a country. The being who led the force was someone who enjoyed transcendent power..

The United States did not only have in mind the best-of-best negotiation plan..

"The kingdom that Your Majesty will establish will be an independent country, completely separate from the United States. We will not spare any support.."

I could feel his strong will to incorporate the pantheon and Leon into his country, even if it meant doing so..

"It's actually interesting. However, I can rebuild the kingdom myself. Well, let's consider it as an option.."

"yes?"

Deputy Director Donald looked embarrassed at those words. He made such a huge offer, but he didn't receive a single positive answer, even if it wasn't a confirmation.?

Leon seemed more uninterested in what the United States could offer than he thought. I just heard an interesting suggestion, or so..

'Only in this way will it be no different from other special envoys before us.!'

Deputy Donald felt bad about having to reveal this card already, but he spoke quickly to get Leon's attention..

"Your Majesty, do you think that the only gods in this world are the gods of the pantheon??"

"Hmm?"

Are you trying to talk about Yahweh or Allah? But the mention of God clearly caught Leon's attention..

"Your Majesty, we, the United States, have gods from other worlds like you and your pantheon.."

And Deputy Director Donald was sure that He would be the God Leon needed..
