I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 219

Corin’s battle for son-in-law (1)

“Bachelor. Wouldn’t you like to meet my granddaughter?”

“Oh, old man. What do you mean, other than exercising?”

I tend to get a pretty good impression from older people.

“It’s because I’m a pity. A true and upright friend like you has never even held a woman’s hand.”

“Hehehe, that’s right. Because I’m not popular.”

“This is all because of the fire goddesses hanging around you.”

“Eh? Who is it?”

“You have to be careful with women, but you also have to be careful with men. The looks in the eyes of the friends here are unusual.”

“Hehehehe…! You look relaxed, too. Let’s do one more set!”

“Heed my words! You are a picture of double trouble! To overcome this picture, you must first remove the mole from around your eyes!”

“I’m afraid you’re not a contemplative person. I don’t believe in such things.”

“Because you are bound to be punished by men and women! You must overflow with yang energy and suppress it with great yin energy!”

“So you’re going to introduce me to the granddaughter of the Seonmu-dang? Hahahaha…!”

I was introduced to him here and there on Earth, but for some reason we never connected.

That old man, a contemplative man, told me that people around me had a lot of luck in love… Anyway, I can’t trust fortune tellers.

Anyway, that didn’t change much even after coming to Arhan’s world.

“I’ll hold your Runia.”

Strangely, that gentleman also liked me. But I think they liked this because they saw the potential for my development as a military officer.

“I am the head of the Count Rolan family. Lord Corrin. Would you like to meet my daughter?”

Even the count uncle who had a drink in social circles.

“There is a younger sister in my hometown who is full of energy. I can trust you.”

Also, senior Beajacker, who was the main men’s party in the previous episode.

“It’s okay for you to marry our children. You deserve it.”

“Would you like to meet my 27th generation grandson? I’ll make you a weapon for free.”

Even those old ladies and dwarfs from the north.

Strangely enough, I am the type of person who is loved by adults.

Anyway, it seems that if a person lives a good life, various blessings will come to him.

“No. Just take them both. You can be the next king.”

Still, this is a bit…

“Your Majesty… you’re being overly pretentious.”

“I’m not kidding, Baron. No, now that I’m a special guardian, I think I should raise my title. Count. So, would you like to be Count? If you take charge of one change, the title of Marquess is fine.”

“…….”

The title was not something to be given, but it was something that could be given to you like that? No, the title of marquess was awarded to Park Si-hoo in the previous episode, but even

though there were people who told me about marriage, I had no idea that King David would come out like this.

He should have made a lot of preparations to propose to Princess Miriam in the previous episode, but he suddenly asks me to marry both of them?

“I apologize for telling you, Your Highness…”

“Oh, son-in-law. Don’t be like this. What’s going on between us? Call me father.”

What is our relationship?! This is the second time I’ve seen you face to face with His Majesty the King?!” ”

No, Your Highness… Don’t you usually recommend marriage to one of your daughters?” ”

I’ve been thinking about that for a while.”

Why are you worrying? What kind of father would give his daughters to one man? Why are you worried about that?

“Estelle loves you more than I thought. She came home recently and declared that she wouldn’t get married if it weren’t for you.” ”

Uh…”

Sister Estelle… could be like that. With her stage-faced personality, she could be like that──

“More than anything, it’s a ‘revelation from the Lord.’ They said it came down. He says he must marry Corin Locke.”

“Whoops…!”

You’re just abusing it! What if this isn’t a cult leader?

“It’s the Lord’s will, so there’s nothing we can do.”

No, father… Do you really believe that? Aren’t you too religious? Your daughter has gone beyond the extremes of disbelief and is trying to create a new religion. She’s

like Shincheon X who infiltrated the cathedral.

“Then, if you just tell me about Saint Estelle… ….”

“It was a long-standing hatred.”

“…….”

King David had a sad expression when the topic was brought up.

“For the sake of the national interest, I ignored my daughter’s anger and hatred and ended up making such a sad speech. .”

He had no rebuke, anger or astonishment at Miriam’s plot and hatred. He simply confessed calmly that he had failed as a father. “Not in politics, not in

magic and mathematics… but even the social activities of the royal family hate demons. The poor child who poured so much money into it. That lifelong anger… I couldn’t let go.”

Then he looks straight at me.

“It was you. You solved it. You stopped the boy who was about to cross an irreversible line.”

He came down from the throne. Then he bent down to his waist and grabbed my hand with both hands.

“Who can single-handedly stop an army and who can fight so many great warriors in a duel? Will you make a profit? Who would risk the wrath of the royal family to protect the innocent?”

“How could I have the courage to ignore your dedication? How can I repay you?”

“If you are the one who changed that child… you can trust me and leave it to me. No, I can only entrust that child to you.”

He was serious. He was not joking. He really wanted to entrust my two daughters to me.

“Lord Corrin. As a failed father, will you please accept the only thing you can do for your daughter?” ”

…I’m sorry.”

I had no choice but to refuse. King David asked with a sorrowful expression.

“Why? I can have princesses from different countries as wives at the same time.”

“That…”

I tried to explain my situation. But before that, King David’s expression distorted.

“It’s because of those potato hunters in the south. go? “Is it because of the idiots who use potatoes as currency instead of money?”

“Your Highness?”

“Is it because of the sword-fighters from the East! Please don’t even think about setting foot on that barbaric land. They are thugs who put their swords before their words!”

Your Majesty? Hey… You’ve just screwed up two of the royal family’s most powerful allies?

“Is there such a thing as such sorrow! My son-in-law is being seduced by such wicked things…!”

“Isn’t he my son-in-law—”

“Think carefully, son-in-law. Power is better than money or force. Imagine the 10,000 horses you will command from your throne. No no. You have to experience this yourself. Come up. Take a seat on the throne! It’s always exciting! Always new! High places are the best!!”

Your Majesty! Please stay safe!!

* * * *

“Extra! Outside! His Majesty the King proposed a state marriage to Baron Corrin Locke!”

“Both the Saint and the Second Princess! I’m so fucking jealous!”

They say that birds hear what you say during the day, and rats hear what you say at night.

The suggestion I heard from King David in the royal palace began to spread in the morning newspapers the next day.

Unlike 21st century articles, I couldn’t help but feel the content of the article without any filtering. I held on with trembling hands.

“What the hell is this…”

Is national marriage a child’s joke? Is it okay for it to spread like this?

“Congratulations, president of the association! No, Your Majesty…!”

Reddick, who had come with us to report on matters related to the Association, bowed his head.

“No, it’s Ohha.”

“Yes? That’s all a lie…”

“That’s not true…”

“Your Majesty! This Reddick Giorgia! I will be loyal to your sire!”

“…I’m going crazy.”

It didn’t take long for rumors to spread throughout the entire king… no, the entire continent. And this… something I never imagined. It began to stimulate them.

* * * *

The Dunaref Mansion, the center of the south, boasts the richest and most luxurious grounds in the world.

To pass the garden of a village, you have to ride a carriage for 10 minutes and have an automatic car installed with magic engineering. If there is no lift, you have to climb up and down 4,378 stairs to the rooftop.

The highlight of the Dunaref Mansion is the playground-sized greenhouse where flowers of all four seasons are always in bloom. Managed by a dedicated wizard and gardener, this greenhouse is a favorite of the Duchess of Elencia. It was also used as a tea room.

Here, the Duchess drank corn silk tea with ice, elegantly ate steamed potatoes, and enjoyed reading local newspapers. This morning was no different from usual. It was a big story on the front page of the newspaper

. If only she hadn’t read that article.

– Kkugigigit!

The morning newspaper insisted with a crackling sound. The maids who served her were horrified and bowed their heads at the duchess’s anger.

“My… what have I just seen?” Is it true?”

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw it myself. I had an intuition that something was wrong. But what boiled over before I could tell whether it was true or not was anger.

“Mrs. Boo… What’s going on?”

I was spending time in the greenhouse with my family. Duke Mard suddenly looked at Duchess Elencia, who was distorted with anger.

“You! What on earth are you doing out there!”

A sound that shouldn’t have come from a crumpled piece of newspaper struck the Duke of Mard.

This was the first time he had seen his wife so angry in the 20 years since they were married. The Duke of Mard was trembling. I opened the crumpled newspaper with a feeling of fear.

“Huh? Isn’t this yesterday’s royal newspaper?”

Duke Mard’s pupils widened as he read the newspaper.

“Your Majesty the King. Proposing a national marriage to Lord Corrin. Both princesses!” You

could tell the content just by looking at the title. That is, David. Didn’t the king say that he would marry off both princesses to Corin Locke?

“What kind of world would this be?…”

Yes, it is a world where polygamy and polyandry are legally permitted, but the world is basically monogamous. It was a principle:

“It’s not just this! Please look at this Eastern newspaper too!”

What I handed over this time was yesterday’s Eastern Evening Newspaper. A shocking headline was also clearly visible there.

“Sword Emperor Garand Aden” Corin will be given to my granddaughters. “Don’t even think about intercepting the king.”

Sword Emperor? Garand Arden? “Is

that old man senile?”

“He is absolutely crazy!”

Duchess Elencia immediately broke the cup containing the corn silk tea. The

glass cup shattered into pieces . Although they scattered, they did not leave a single scratch on the former high-ranking knight’s body.

“This is all because of you!”

“Eh? “Me?”

“Because you keep mistreating and ostracizing Corin’s son-in-law! Didn’t our son-in-law go somewhere else?”

“Is this my fault? “Isn’t it because of that guy who’s always wagging his tail here and there?!”

“You should treat me more kindly and make it clear to the outside world that you are our son-in-law! If I had marked it, they wouldn’t have dared to covet my son-in-law!”

Duchess Elencia expressed her anger with quivering lips.

“Our Dunarev family has been ignored. King and Geomje. This cannot happen unless they look down on our great Dunarev family!”

Since ancient times, love for a son-in-law is a mother-in-law. Duchess Elencia, who has already chosen Corinne as her eldest daughter’s son-in-law, will not forgive this wicked attempt to steal her son-in-law. I couldn’t help it.

‘What is it? Am I the only one who feels strange right now?’

King David, who wants to marry off a nation’s princesses to one man, and Geomje, who warns people not to interfere, saying that he will give his granddaughters to such a king. My wife, who claims that she was taken away from her son-in-law by a man who was not engaged to her, let alone married her. ‘I’m the only one who doesn’t like that

guy

. Listen? Am I the only normal father? Am I weird? Huh? Am I weird!’

It was crazy. Something was going crazy.

“You!”

“Uh uh…! ma’am! Why are you doing this?”

“Come to my son-in-law right now! I can’t lose my son-in-law!”

“Uh…?”

I couldn’t even utter a retort.

Just like that, the Duke of Mard was pushed back and boarded the Hresvelg heading to the royal capital.

However, the spirit of the servants who followed the Duke was unusual.

” You’re targeting Lady Marie’s husband! This is completely unacceptable!”

‘I never accepted that bastard Marie as my husband!’

Dunaref Wyvern Rider Captain Berg burns his fighting spirit……

“Oh my. I don’t think puppies are afraid of potatoes. We have moved the spies active in the royal capital. Just give the order, and we can expose the private affairs of royalist nobles in broad daylight.”

‘Because we are royalists too? Because we are royalists?!’

Deacon Paul began plotting a plan that was close to suicide.

“We will use Baron Corrin’s exclusive slush fund to launch an economic attack on the capital and the eastern region. Let’s start lightly with 1 million gold. “It’s a bit lacking to show Dunareff’s might.”

‘When did you allocate such an emergency fund?’

Baron Bolton, head of the Merkava Dunaref Chamber, began raising a slush fund that even Duke Mard didn’t know about.

“Now, you guys… calm down first. Couldn’t this all be a misunderstanding?”

“Ah…! That could be true. I’m sorry, it was presumptuous!”

“Well, Duke Mard can’t just sit by and watch something like this happen.” “Your

Excellency will rescue Master Corin from their clutches in style!”

The Duke was now embarrassed.

It’s his wife. Even so, since when did they adore him like this? Something…something is going wrong.

‘Shouldn’t we really have that guy as our son-in-law?’

The duke felt like crying.
