Chapter 193

193angry father and daughter

"How dare you call yourself Jim's son-in-law with such skills?!"

Joko, an S-class hunter from Indonesia, was hit. It was the first time people knew that a person could fly higher than the clouds..

"Inooooom! If you can’t even endure this much, how can you marry my daughter?!"

Australia's S-class hunter Jerry McDowell was also destroyed. He got beaten up particularly badly, and probably shouted at the stadium, “Father-in-law!” 'Give me your daughter!'.

"Yongwan Lee, yes Inooooom!!"

"I want to abstain."

"You don't have to pretend that you challenged other hunters.······."

Lee Yong-wan, an S-class hunter from the Korean Phoenix Guild, was also one of the challengers. He couldn't be bitten because he had already won the challenge..

"Your Majesty! for a moment! a little! gently!"

"Where does a lowly meme go?!"

Perhaps it was because he hated long distances, but being hit by Leon was even more painful and sad for Lee Yong-wan..

Just like that, the twenty-seventh challenger is on his way home after being miserably defeated. They sighed and looked at each other..

"I don't think it will work?"

"I think so."

Everyone says it's too early to give up, but I wondered if this was really possible..

* * * *

It has already been 10 and 3 days since Leon became the champion and displayed overwhelming defense performance..

"Yes, yes~ Champion, if there's anything I'm missing, just tell me. We'll prepare everything."

"Get some bath water ready.."

In particular, among all champions of all time, Leon is a nobleman who has unprecedentedly overwhelmed suitors and has the highest chance of 'successful suiting', so much so that even more money will be paid to bring him back..

Of course, Leon cannot do such a shameful thing as marrying his own daughter..

"joy."

After beating up the suitors, Leon tried to rest in his room. But an old man approached him..

"Are you Leon Lionheart??"

Leon's eyes widened when he mentioned Dragonia. At that solemn gaze, the old man lowered his head and said:.

"I'm sorry, I can't mention His Majesty's name carelessly.."

old man. As the chief chamberlain of the imperial palace, he groveled and tried not to incur Leon's wrath..

As a servant of the imperial palace, even a high-ranking noble would not be able to treat him carelessly, but the old man had to consider that the person in front of him was someone who claimed to be the emperor's father..

Above all else, Leon was someone who deserved respect just for his own superhuman strength..

"Heung, it is right that loyalty comes first to the person you serve. I'm glad I knew that much at a young age.."

"······."

The chamberlain, who was looking forward to his grandson entering the academy this year, felt a subtle sense of disparity with the young man in his 20s in front of him..

Well, isn't His Majesty the Emperor over two hundred years old this year? The man in front of me looked younger than your Majesty, but if he is really your father, I cannot guess his age..

"Did Karina want to meet Jim?."

"······! Yes, that's right.!"

The chamberlain was horrified by the emperor's name-calling, but he only followed what he was ordered to do..

"egg plant. I was waiting for you to call me, but it seems I have less patience than I thought.."

"Mo, I will take you there.."

Leon was dissatisfied with the chamberlain's attitude. My lord was called lightly, how could I not draw a dagger?.

If the Lionheart King had been treated carelessly in Lionheart, the knights under him would not have left him alone..

'Anyway, those who do not have proper faith.'

The authority of a king is given by God. The lightness of things that do not respect them must be improved through education and edification..

The carriage was prepared under the guidance of the disapproving chamberlain. Leon clicked his tongue as he looked at the carriage..

"How could a carriage be so mean?."

The carriage was decorated with colorful jewels and gold trim. Of course, the carriages of high-ranking nobles should be compared to those of commoners. Especially if it's royalty.

But I thought this was a bit excessive. But Leon held back. Even until he reached the imperial palace. Even when he entered the room assigned for him in the imperial palace,.

"······."

Gorgeous. From the entrance, the road where only one person was allowed to walk was a road decorated with pure white marble and melted gold, and there was everything from the Cheomat-gil to tapestries and works of art that were not valuable..

The room is also truly top-notch. It's obvious that they spent money to an extravagant extent..

"Tsk."

"don't you like it?"

"This is behavior that does not understand what luxury is. It was decorated only with expensive jewels and gold. It's not the taste of nobles, but of the nouveau riche who imitate nobles.."

Leon saw a black-haired woman who had been in this room from the beginning, who had been waiting for Leon..

Carina Dragonia.

The rightful grand duke of Dragonia and the lord of imperial power, known as the Dragon Emperor in this world..

200his daughter who he lost a year ago.

Leon alternately looked at the blue eyes that resembled his own and the black hair that resembled hers..

"My tastes have gotten worse since we haven't seen each other.."

"As I got older, I started to notice shiny things.."

"Don't forget the golden curse. No, have you already been cursed??"

"······."

Karina didn't answer. Leon also found that difficult to answer..

He changed the topic he brought up himself..

"I looked around the empire. There has been quite a bit of progress. Commoners do not know hunger, and nobles manage to be faithful to their duties. We created a country worth seeing without the help of the gods.."

"Absolute power is something that can somehow be established if absolute force exists. It wasn't that difficult.."

"okay. Well, that's okay.."

And I opened my arms.

"Come here. Let's hug."

Karina approached Leon without saying a word. Leon opened his arms even wider to make it easier for her to be held in his arms..

But Karina did not fall into Leon's arms. Just face each other from the front. It may seem like a conflict.

"quit."

"what?"

"To ward off suitors."

Leon relaxed his open arms and sighed lightly..

"What's wrong with being a father and choosing a son-in-law?."

"This is a major national project. It is a national policy to secure appropriate seeds for the next emperor.."

"······Jim hopes you marry with love. Just like Jim and your mother did."

"Your Majesty, please do one of the two.."

Karina's eyes turned to Leon. Her gaze is dull..

"Whether you are a cog in the kingdom or the head of a warm family. Your Majesty has already chosen."

Leon has already made his choice. chose the kingdom over his wife.

"Your choice is absolutely right. Therefore, the Emperor's national policy is also extremely correct.."

She said that this was a conclusion she reached as the Emperor of the Dragonian Empire, not as the Grand Duke of Dragonia or a blood relative of the Lionheart King..

"Isn't that why you're doing this?."

"······."

Karina remained silent at Leon's point. Leon continued speaking..

"The reason why you are urgently looking for suitors. Do you think Jim doesn’t know? My name was your ancestor, the Grand Duke of Dragonia.."

"so. What do you think the Lionheart King will do?."

"Let's share the burden with our father. The previous princes were always prepared for this kind of thing.."

"I refuse."

Karina rejected Leon's offer. She solemnly turned her back and opened the door..

"Stop it. This is not your kingdom. It's your own empire. Everything that happens on this earth is my responsibility, and it is my responsibility to ask whether it is legal.."

"Karina···!"

She stopped at Leon's shout. It was the voice of his father, whom he had not heard in a very long time, and whose fate had not ended well..

Because he thought about it with regret every day, Leon spoke honestly about his feelings..

"I gave birth to you with love from Castile. I want you to have a love that shines like a star. That is my responsibility as your father.."

I will not abandon my duties.

* * * *

"Tuesday, Your Majesty!"

They pass by the maids and servants who spot Karina and urgently bow their heads..

Karina walked silently without saying a word until she arrived at her office..

[Kkekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekeukkeu, the fatherly love and filial piety is truly tear-jerking..]

A loud voice echoing from inside. Karina's frown narrowed at that sneer..

"It's noisy."

[Isn’t this the father I met after 200 years? It must be a long time for you dwarves..]

Let's not enjoy the reunion of father and daughter any longer.?

Karina didn't answer that question..

As I've said many times, Karina doesn't blame Leon..

I knew from the beginning that there was nothing wrong with that choice..

But that and this are different.

[But it's amazing. Are you saying that you have finally overcome the forces of so many evil bastards? The Lord of Wisdom was no ordinary guy. Surprisingly, that war might have been one that the tin cans could win..]

"no, that's not it."

[Hmm?]

Karina spoke into the empty space. The eerie black energy that formed in the air seemed to be snooping around her head..

"There is a pantheon in the heart of the Lionheart King. It means that the spiritual cores of the gods are gathered together. That would have been their last refuge."

[Oh, this is so... I see. I guess things like that have come to naught. To abandon such a magnificent temple and burrow into a cramped heart to seek survival?.]

The black thing's voice even contained joy. Since he has been competing with the gods for world supremacy for such a long time, the fall of his rival is bound to be pleasant..

[Karina, you should have accepted that man's offer. It was your only way to survive.]

"I have enough strength to endure you too.."

[Even your ancestors couldn't bear me and passed it on to their children, but the dwarves still can't understand my subject..]

The black, ‘dragon-shaped’ shadow laughed at Karina. Would you say it is truly tear-jerking paternal love and filial piety??

[Anyway, nothing changes. You guys have to take responsibility for murdering Sinbi. My curse will not end until your kin are destroyed and the moment you lose your heart, the plague of mortals will begin..]

"That won't happen.."

[So what should we do? You don't have much time. And there is no one strong in this world who can stand against that lion-hearted king other than me..]

"No, there is one.."

* * * *

Meanwhile, the International Hunter Allied Forces had taken up lodgings in the capital and were holding a countermeasures meeting there..

"Mr. Lee! It's here!"

The person who welcomed Lee Yong-wan was Allen Taylor, an S-class hunter from the American Maverick Guild..

"Mr. Taylor. What about Minuteman??"

"That friend is out to earn money for lodging. Miss Ha didn't go with you.?"

"Oh, and Yuri too.?"

"Ooh, someone's got to pay for the lodging."

Thousands of international hunter coalition forces gathered in the capital. Of course, there were expenses necessary for them to eat and sleep, and this was covered by the hunters receiving work from the Dragonian Empire..

Until the courtship duel to complete the quest is over, you will need to cover your living expenses in this way..

"Anyway, it's a big deal. There's no sign of the courtship duel ending.."

"Because the Lion-Hearted King is holding on like hell.."

The problem is that Leon is stuck on the road to courting the Dragon Emperor. Dozens of S-class hunters have already attempted the challenge, but were defeated miserably and lost their will to fight..

"If you're Daguri, you probably won't be able to do anything with that lion-hearted king one-on-one.."

"I really agree. Even though the world's best hunters are here, they couldn't even hurt the Lionheart King.."

Lee Yong-wan recalled the green Holy Grail knight he had encountered at the Jeju Island gate the other day..

Holy Grail Knight Geobrick.

That monster knight also couldn't inflict a single wound even though four S-class hunters attacked him together..

If you were to name a person worthy of competing with the Lionheart King, it would have to be at least that level..

'It can't be possible. Those Holy Grail Knights are the subordinates of the Sin Lionheart King..'

Beatrice the Sorcerer Queen.

Killing Machine Yacht Spinner.

Butcher Vulcan.

The fearsomeness of the pantheon does not come from the power of just Leon. Even their subordinates are monsters among monsters, all with terrible specs..

They are said to be outside the standard, and they have a being beyond common sense called God behind them..

"Then let's leave quickly."

"You mean the battlefield? There won't be a player from our side today.?"

"Well, there might be other strong people in this world too. Watching a fight is fun in and of itself.."

Was Allen Taylor next? I heard that he trained himself quite harshly after the Rakshaar fight..

He was excited as if he was trying to learn something from the fight against someone far stronger than him..

'Well, in front of the Lionheart King, everything will be there..'

Yongwan Lee didn’t have much expectations. Was he the 45th suitor today?.

If things continue like this, even if the hundredth time comes, Leon will win easily..

"who am i!"

A loud, resounding voice. The stadium was heated up with a volume that could not be recognized as human..

[[slaughterer!]]

[[beheading knight!]]

[[pagan slayer!]]

"Uh oh?"

what. why?

"who am i──!!"

[[agent of divine punishment!]]

[[Warrider of Doom!]]

-thud! thud! thud! thud!

A passionate voice filling the stadium. The lump of armor raising both arms intoxicated by it looks like a popular villain in professional wrestling..

[iced coffee! What an enthusiastic response! Indeed, an overwhelming presence that is understandable! The monster who is said to have wiped out not a single golem created by His Majesty the Dragon Emperor with a single blow has presented a challenge to the champion today! That name is──]

The man in red armor pulls out two holy swords. The blazing holy sword, with its auspicious energy and violent energy, seems to represent the ferocity of this man..

[──Bulka~~~~~~Nus!!!!]

Why are you here??
