Chapter 200
< father leon(2) >
"Yes, Your Majesty. Then, I understand that you will be spending the end of this year in the United States.."
Oh Kang-hyuk, president of the Korea Hunter Association, repeatedly lowered his head to the voice on the other end of the phone..
[Lord Spinner will deliver the appropriate cargo. He asked me to take action against him..]
"Yes, we have sent blessed crops and pantheon devotees along with your Majesty's wishes. It was a consecration ceremony.?"
[Yes, I will finish my work here and return to Korea..]
Oh Kang-hyuk tried to accommodate the pantheon as much as possible. Since he was so powerful at the top, he wanted Leon to return quickly..
"Then, Your Majesty, you won't be coming until the new year.?"
[We will leave after the Christmas celebration is over. How can you be so impatient??]
"Haha, sorry about this. Looks like you made a difference. It seems that the President wants to celebrate the New Year with the Pantheon.."
A new survivor, Prince Dragonia. Her appearance was a hot issue in Korea as well..
Oh Kang-hyuk put down his cell phone after hearing a positive answer from Leon..
"Phew~ You seem to be quite excited.."
Oh Kang-hyuk was surprised by Leon's excited voice throughout the phone call..
"Well, I'm glad I met my daughter after hundreds of years.."
Oh Kang-hyuk plans to contact his grandchildren later. These days, grandchildren have a taste for giving pocket money. Before Lunar New Year, I wanted to celebrate the new year with the sunrise..
'It's not like the President is calling you.?'
Usually, the president walks around with ministers and says well-wishers, but it is difficult to imagine President Ahn giving a well-wishes to Leon..
"Anyway, I'm glad it ended well.."
Even though it was a black gate, it was a miracle that no one died. In addition, a powerful force called the Grand Duke of Dragonia will join in and return to Korea..
Oh Kang-hyuk knows better than anyone else how powerful a being of the Holy Grail Knight level is. That's why he had a intuition about something in the recent strange war clouds..
There might be a big war soon.
Intuition that at least one bit of power will be needed to prepare for that day..
Oh Kang-hyuk read a report that had been reported to him. A report by a knight-errant under Manseonjeon that was submitted to Mansinjeon and made available by Yapi as shared information..
「Report on the rescue of compatriots from the Hoeryeong camp」
Based on this report received in the process of naturalizing a large number of North Korean defectors, Oh Kang-hyuk dispatched an investigation team to investigate..
Although it was nominally a special envoy for inter-Korean talks, it was supposed to monitor North Korea through hunters belonging to the National Intelligence Service..
"I hope nothing happens······."
I feel strangely uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, Oh Kang-hyuk's premonitions were often correct..
* * * *
"Karina, let’s have a meal together. I was recommended a good cook by my President Hobson.."
"Karina, wouldn’t you like to go bear hunting together at a place called Olympic National Park? Haven't you been hunting orcs since you were thirteen?."
-Karina.
-Karina.
-Karina.
·········
······
···
"I can't do it."
"ancient?"
A dressmaker on the streets of Washington, USA. While he was in the middle of buying her clothes, Hari blinked at what Karina said..
"Your Majesty. People buy this work like a daughter who never got married.."
'Isn’t it true that I couldn’t get married??'
Even though I tried to go there once, I failed due to the real-time ‘My Father-in-Law Is Too Strong’..
"It's not that I couldn't carry my luggage. You didn't go."
"Huh···!"
Hari covers her mouth as she reads my thoughts. Is reading people’s minds a specialty for the father and daughter? This is a privilege?
"Well, how about this, by the way? When it comes to style these days, clothes like this are okay.!"
What Hari showed off was a suit-style outfit. Karina staring at it blankly.
"Why are these clothes so short??"
"It's called a belly button t-shirt! What's hot among young people these days──!"
"Arthur. How could it be that a virgin in her older years would shamefully show off her navel?."
"······."
Hari, who suddenly became an embarrassed girl, kept her mouth shut..
"Is it comfortable? The wind blows gently and it’s cool.······."
"I'm having a hard time."
Karina chicly flipped through the clothes and looked up and down at Hari's outfit..
Currently, she is dressed in a suit, but when I met her in the imperial palace, she was dressed like a renegade by the standards of the Dragonian Empire..
"His Majesty prefers a discreet and demure girl.."
"ancient?"
"You can tell that just by looking at your mother.."
"What are you talking about??!"
Hari is shocked. But Karina calmly continues her explosive remarks..
"The position of the honorable Lionheart King's hostess is empty. If she's a woman, shouldn't she be glaring at her??"
"Go, Your Excellency?! Isn’t the idea too old-fashioned??!"
I wanted to say that there are a lot of people who want to be queen these days, but... when I thought about it, I didn't think so..
'He's handsome. Strong. I have a lot of money... my fault is that I'm a bit older..'
In other words, even though he is 300 years old, he still looks young. She is a woman who wants to be married to King Shen, the messenger of immortality. She will be worth more than a thousand trucks..
"Well, I heard that your Excellency also had a lot of suitors.?"
"of course. She is a woman worthy of the original work. If you're a man, shouldn't you aim for it??"
"Ooh······."
What confidence. Does father and daughter have the same special pride?.
"First of all, follow the example of the Magic Queen, who takes her place next to Her Majesty as if it were a given. It seems like her strategy is to make it a fait accompli."
"Well, Queen Beatrice.?"
"Yes, besides that, is he the new knight commander? That kid is a good candidate too. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a candidate for the next Holy Grail Knight, as he can lend power to the God of Darkness without receiving anything in return.."
Karina emphasizes that being a Holy Grail Knight is definitely enough to become a queen candidate for the Lionheart King. Her gaze turned to Hari..
"Looks like you would make a pretty good mother. It is a vessel that receives the divine power of both God Poma and God Petos.."
"Oh, that... That...! that is···!"
Hari was speechless, her face as red as her hair. As if Hari was cute, Karina grabbed Hari's chin and admired her red face..
"Well, that kind of innocence isn’t bad either. Well, you have a smooth face and your butt is easy to give birth to, so I guess you will have a good baby.."
"Yes, it's sexual harassment.······."
Hari was astounded by Kareena's critique of new mother candidates younger than her..
"No, but are you okay? Even if Peha gets married?"
"What's the problem?"
"Your Majesty... is your mother's husband.!"
"Even without explaining it in such a twisted way, do you think this work would not know the obvious family tree??"
Are you saying you do this even though you know? To Hari, who had an incomprehensible expression, Karina responded that it was no big deal..
"It's normal for someone of your Majesty's level to have dozens of concubines.."
"Yeah, yeah?!"
"The Lionheart King is proof of a great knight in itself. The first Lionheart King, Leon Lionheart, also had seven wives, and the 6th generation Empress Leona Lionheart had twelve official concubines.."
"Women too?!"
"The goddess Demera provided a surrogate womb for the child, so the queens had no problem with fertility.."
"No, what about a surrogate uterus... Ah, anyway, it's not that kind of problem.!"
"Then what's the problem?······."
Karina tilts her head as if she doesn't really understand what's going on. Hari shouted, shaking her clenched fist..
"Hey, monogamy! Monogamy is completely natural.!"
"Han Hari, you have a pretty old way of thinking. She is the goddess of the sea god."
"Am I old? It's me?"
"It is the duty of those with excellent seeds to leave behind many descendants. The succession issue may become complicated, but it will be enough if there is a fierce competition under the control of the gods.."
"Ugh, ugh.······."
Hari couldn't keep up with Karina's way of thinking, which is shocking to modern Earthlings..
It is not only the case that they have multiple wives and husbands in order to leave behind many excellent offspring, but it also causes brothers to fight fiercely when succession issues arise.?
Even medieval kings did not intentionally create bean powder households like this..
"It was a problem for His Majesty to begin with. Even though he was cursed by the Moon Goddess at his wedding, he is the Lionheart King and the Grand Duke of Dragonia and only gives birth to one child.."
"I'm a curse?"
"Oh, you don't know."
The romance of the Lionheart King, who kidnapped Castile, the priest of the moon and purity, from the temple and held a wedding ceremony, was a love story that was talked about in the kingdom for 50 years..
The Moon and the Goddess of Purity were very angry at the Lionheart King who broke the chastity of his priest..
"Goddess Dina is also great. How could she place such a curse on King Sim, the lion who was supposed to give birth to her successor?."
"······!!"
Hari realizes what it means and cannot open her lips. But apart from that, I wanted to solve my curiosity..
"Um, did you lift the curse??"
"So this work wasn't born??"
"Yeah, that's right."
how? Hari's honest gaze reminded Karina of a story she had heard..
"It is said that an agreement was reached to complete the quest through the mediation of Goddess Ariana. Surely he was building a temple on the moon alone? It took about 3 years."
A temple on the moon? that's possible?
"It's not impossible. If you get the help of the world tree tended by the goddess of forests and trees,······."
"uh? world demand?"
"Do you know?"
"Ah, yes! Your Majesty is growing seedlings of the World Tree. I planted it in Naju and am growing it.!"
Leon obtained seedlings from Gunlar in Paradise and grew them at the Pantheon in Naju..
However, it did not grow easily, so the gate opened to seek a solution from the wise men of the forest was the gate of the Lionheart Kingdom, and from there, they obtained the Holy Grail of the Moon and completed the current Holy Grail..
"His Majesty said that one piece is still missing to complete the World Tree.."
"It's one piece... I think I understand.."
Karina stroked her chin as if remembering something. Just then, Karina's shadow rose from her shadow and a small dragon appeared..
It was the incarnation of Dragonia..
"oh! Ah, hello, Dragonia.!"
[Is she the goddess of war and the sea?.]
Dragonia glanced at Hari and then settled on Karina's shoulder..
[Tell me, what is that missing piece??]
"Are you curious??"
[It is the pantheon that promised to rebuild my race through the World Tree..]
"Don’t fret, Dragon God. Your wish will come true somehow. It's just a matter of time."
The question is how long it will take, but in any case, the gods intend to keep the promise they made to Dragonia to rebuild the race..
"As you probably know, get ready for the upcoming celebration. It is the right time to announce a new nova. However, if you do not reach an agreement with the gods, it will be difficult to gather faith even if you achieve divinity.."
[Wow, there are so many ways to gather the faith of mortals. Do your duty as yours and my Grail Knight..]
The relationship between Dragonia and Karina has become very strange..
As a host whose soul and body were taken away, Dragonia now had to rely on Karina as a proxy for its divinity..
Unlike other Holy Grail Knights, the relationship between Dragonia and Karina had a strictly business significance..
"Han Hari, do you know that??"
"Well... let's go?"
Hari felt an ominous feeling about Karina's grumpy expression..
"The first offspring of a dragonia must also have a dozen females. You have to start working as a stallion as soon as you're born.."
Leaves many excellent seeds. Like the lion-hearted king.
"Well, that's sexual harassment.!"
The old Grand Duke of Dragonia had a lot of fun making fun of this innocent priestess..
* * * *
"It seems like Karina is avoiding the luggage.."
"Oh my, is that so??"
Despite Leon's sudden words, Beatrice continued to tilt the wine bottle she was putting in Leon's glass..
I listened in silence as Leon, who had free time for the first time in a while, continued to talk about his daughter. she was a good listener.
"There must have been a lot of things you wanted to do with your daughter, whom you haven't seen in a long time.."
"That's right. There are so many things I couldn't do with that child. Even if I return to Korea in the future, I have a lot of work to do, and I'm worried about how I will spend time with my daughter.."
"Don't worry, there's still plenty of time in the future.."
The relationship between the two that Beatrice observed was very natural..
It is clear that both father and daughter care for and love each other, but the father is anxious to do many things with his daughter, and the daughter reacts bluntly..
It is said that an ordinary father-daughter relationship is like this, but the scale is a bit bigger in that it is a 300-year-old father and a 200-year-old daughter..
"Your daughter will also need time to adjust to Earth.."
"Isn’t that what Jim will teach you??"
"Your Majesty can’t even use a smartphone yet.?"
Hehe, Beatrice takes out her smartphone and looks at it..
"All you have to do is make a phone call. In the first place, all you have to do is carry the following things.──"
"It seems that the SNS was created after receiving a recommendation from Grand Duke Carina and Lord Vulcan. It's a match for me too.?"
"······!"
The photo Beatrice showed was a photo from Karina's SNS account. Leon opens his eyes and looks at this..
There were several photos of Karina taken by someone else on social media. It was probably taken by Harina Vulcan, who was accompanying him..
"······No."
"What is it?"
"There are no pictures taken with Jim. Lord Vulcan and Lord Raihar here! There are even Cheon So-yeon and Spinner.!"
"Ah, now that I think about it······."
Beatrice secretly covered the two-shot of herself and Karina with her thumb, but even if she covered it with her little finger, there was no way it would be covered..
"Bice, I have a picture of you too! But why are you carrying luggage?···!"
"That's right······."
It would be too harsh of a rule for Leon to mention the ecology of daughters, as daughters who post pictures of themselves with their fathers on social media are rare..
"Well, wouldn’t it be okay if we continued taking pictures together in the future? For example, this Christmas banquet."
"You mean the celebration of the attack hosted by President Hobson? It's done. Jim plans to spend Christmas alone with Carina.──"
"your majesty."
Beatrice gently holds the back of Leon's hand. His actions were gentle and his expression was smiling, but the strength felt in his grip clearly conveyed strong intentions..
"Sir Vulcanus, Sir Spinner, and I attended National Rifle Association sponsorship meetings, celebrations, and various other official duties for Her Majesty, who was spending time with her daughter.?"
"Is that so? Thank you for your hard work."
"This Christmas celebration is attended by all members of the International Hunter Alliance and ministers from each country. There is no better place to spread the faith of the pantheon.."
"So I believe in you──"
"Oh my~ I have to participate as Your Majesty’s partner. Thanks to the First Lady's consideration, I also purchased a very pretty dress.."
Of course, your Majesty too..
Beatrice's purple eyes gave a fresh look. In that gaze, there was an unspoken pressure to do some work now..
"······Is Karina coming too??"
"sure. I went to buy a dress with Ms. Hari.."
I can't see a way out..
Leon sighed and promised to participate in the Christmas celebration..
