My Lucky Encounter From the Game Turned Into Reality - Chapter 138
The coincidence in the game becomes reality Episode 138
34. What is this? (2)
The bombing incident of the Croissen Embassy in the Kingdom of Reinharts.
When the emperor heard the news, he had to express not only anger but also bewilderment.
“Have they finally lost their minds?”
It was natural for him to react this way.
Although citizens beating diplomats to death was a major incident, it was nothing compared to the shelling of the embassy by the country’s regular army.
This clearly crosses the line.
Under international law, embassies are recognized as the sole territory of the country that operates them.
Even if it is located in the Kingdom of Reinharts, the embassy is part of the Croesian Empire.
In other words, the attack on the embassy was no different from an attack on the Croesian Empire without a declaration of war.
“If you want to die, you have to kill me. “If that’s what they want.”
You must not avoid the fight you are fighting.
That was his position as the master of the great country.
Although it was an unplanned incident, the emperor pledged to hold the Kingdom of Reinharts responsible for this incident through war.
“But that’s…”
“What are you procrastinating about? “If you have anything to say, please do so quickly.”
However, there is something strange about the Minister of Foreign Affairs’ demeanor.
It seemed like there was some news left that I was reluctant to swallow.
“The Kingdom of Reinharts sent an official apology, saying that this incident was an accident. They said they had no intention of attacking the embassy. “I will provide appropriate compensation for the cost of rebuilding the embassy and for the diplomats who suffered damage…”
The emperor had to blink after hearing the story behind the incident.
“No, you’re just blowing up our embassy with pinpoints as revenge and then accidentally packaging it up?”
“Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is a fact that the Reinharts royal family has conveyed through official diplomatic channels, and is also stated as such in an official press conference.”
“Do they think Jim is an idiot?”
“But the evidence is so plausible….”
“If you decide to manipulate something like that, you can do it as much as you want, right!? So, are you saying that I have to put up with this incident and get over it!?”
Seeing the emperor’s excitement, the Minister of Foreign Affairs swallowed his words several times, but eventually revealed his position.
“Once the royal family has officially bowed its head, it would not look good if the war escalated.”
“What does it look like! Even people from other countries would know what the truth is if their hair is not just a decoration!”
“I think so too, but surprisingly, many countries support the Reinharts Kingdom’s position.”
“Huh, has my way of thinking become strange? “You believe such absurd claims?”
“If a dispute arises between the two countries due to the events our empire has taken against the Kingdom of Reinharts, there are many cases where we automatically support the kingdom. Moreover, neighboring countries say that something might happen…”
This can be interpreted as a payment for past actions.
The Emperor glared at the Minister of Foreign Affairs as if he were crazy about his reaction.
“I don’t know if I’m facing the foreign minister of the Kingdom of Reinharts or our empire.”
“I’m sorry. This meant that war was not a good option. There is even a conspiracy theory going around that there are traces of outsiders infiltrating the sky fortress that attacked the Guernsey embassy spread by the Kingdom of Reinharts….” “Does this mean that there are
places that see it as our own play?”
Seeing the Emperor’s clenched hands trembling, the Minister of Foreign Affairs expressed his approval instead of answering by lowering his head.
But the emperor was not emperor for nothing.
He quickly got his emotions under control and burst into laughter.
“The Kingdom of Reinharts has become very sinister.”
“Isn’t it due to the crown prince’s influence?”
The emperor, who was gathering his thoughts by tapping the handle of the throne with his finger, twisted the corners of his mouth when the crown prince of the Kingdom of Reinharts was mentioned.
“If he’s this sneaky, I have no choice but to return it in the same way…”
“Yes?”
“Please go out sir.”
The Emperor waved his hand at the Minister of Foreign Affairs and chased him away.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs felt uneasy about the emperor’s reaction, but he had no choice.
How dare they hold out when the emperor tells them to leave?
The Emperor, who had kicked out the Minister of Foreign Affairs, called someone’s name into the air.
“Lord Aren.”
[Yes, Your Majesty.]
Then, a low male voice called out from behind the throne, echoing directly in the emperor’s head.
Shadow Commander Aren.
He was a cleaning dog who took care of the imperial family’s after-work.
The emperor asked Aren.
“The elimination of the crown prince of Reinharts Kingdom. What is the probability of success?”
[If you risk the lives of God and his subordinates, it’s about 50%.]
“It’s enough. “If you succeed, it will be great, and even if you fail, it can be scary.”
He was an emperor who made quite extreme decisions, even if it meant returning it in the same way.
However, this was a very natural choice for the emperor.
The provocation against the Croesian Empire was an attack against the emperor himself.
Because in his dictionary, patience meant defeat.
Cut down anything that stands in your way.
That was the mindset of the Croesian emperor.
“Then deal with him.”
[I take orders.]

[Cruessen Empire Army deploys additional troops to the border toward Reinharts Kingdom.]
I snorted at the movements of the Croesen Empire.
‘You’re a threat.’
From anyone’s perspective, this was not a move to start a full-scale war.
Therefore, contrary to the loud noises in the media, the Kingdom of Reinharts and the noble world were peaceful.
“With this, there are now four dukes in our kingdom. “I think this is the first time there are four dukes.”
“that’s right. Suddenly, there were more dukes than marquis. To be honest, it seems like the reason Count Acres and Margrave Otis became marquis this time was only to bring the number of marquis to 4, the same as dukes.”
“Well, there are a lot of vacancies due to the fall of the Second Prince faction, so there won’t be a problem. Still, doesn’t the appointment of an additional marquis to balance the duke make the situation revolve too much around Lawrence’s group?”
“No, before that, how on earth did Marquis Klein become a duke? “Seeing as the superiors remain silent, I think there must be some reason.”
The royal party lounge.
Attending the party for the victory of the Duke of Arcia and the Marquess of Acres and Margrave Otis, I was checking the online news to cool off and cleared my throat when I heard a conversation not far away.
“Huh!”
Then, the young nobles who had been conversing in the corner of the lounge, not expecting me to be there, swallowed their frustration and ran away without looking back.
The local viscount’s lowly bastard has now become someone who chases away nobles with just a cough.
It seems like people don’t know what’s ahead for them.
“The refurbishment of His Royal Highness the Duke of Klein has been completed.”
“Yes, I’m leaving.”
The reason why I ended up sitting in the break room.
This was because Arcia was picking up and eating various things and spilled food on her dress.
Arcia thought of the dress as nothing more than a cumbersome piece of clothing, so she didn’t care, but since she was the star of today’s party, she had to change her outfit.
So, I ended up chilling in the break room alone while Arcia changed her clothes.
It doesn’t matter if she’s with you, but if you’re alone, you’ll be attacked here and there by women with hyena eyes.
“So pretty?”
As I left the lounge, I saw Arcia wearing a pure white dress, like a wedding dress, decorated with emerald accessories that resembled the color of her eyes.
At my compliment, she raised her chin arrogantly, making an ‘ahem’ sound with a confident expression.
If you look closely, the reaction is unusual and interesting.
“Shall we go?”
I held out my hand to escort her, and she, accustomed to noble manners, took my hand without much resistance.
As I left the lounge, the crown prince was the first to come into view.
He gave me the OK sign and when I nodded, all the lights inside the party went off.
“uh?”
“what?”
Naturally, the nobles attending the party looked around in panic, and Arcia also narrowed her eyes and looked around to see if something had happened.
-Pot!
But soon, pinpoint lights falling from the air illuminated the two of us, and as the genre of music changed from cheerful to calm, Arcia looked at me with an expression of disbelief.
They say it’s only in times like this that you’re quick-witted.
I smiled and guided her to the center of the party.
Thousands of flowers were gorgeously decorated with various gems and precious metals, attracting people who had no idea when it was set up there.
At the same time, elementalists hired for this day summoned spirits resembling fairies to brighten up the colorful dark surroundings, and prism artifacts created solely for the purpose of splendor were activated, creating a dreamlike landscape.
In addition, as the blessed relics rented from the shrine radiated divine power, the entire atmosphere at the party became warm.
Yes.
I am currently completing the proposal, the highest difficulty quest given by Arcia.
‘Tens of billions of dollars were invested in the short term for this event.’
Looking at the hazy eyes of the ladies and ladies, it seems that the effect is worth the cost.
I moved Arcia to the center of the stage set up for the proposal and knelt down on one knee in front of her, her face turning red, and looked up at her.
And just handing me a ring and asking me to marry him made me feel empty… so
I sang
“la la la~” .
“Oh my.”
“Hmm.”
know.
Just by looking at the expressions on the men’s faces as if they saw something they couldn’t see, you can see how much of a farce this is.
However, if Arsia is satisfied with the one-time proposal anyway, that is enough.
Fortunately, unlike men, women, including Arsia, responded favorably.
The song created by his handsome appearance and magical voice created a rather believable appearance.
I get tired of singing until the second verse, so I just stop at the first verse.
“Will you marry me?”
With a bright smile, he held out the ring he had taken out of subspace to her.
“That one?”
“Isn’t it Orichalcon?”
“oh my god.”
A ring made of green diamonds and orharkon, the most expensive metal in the world.
Arcia twisted her body as if she was embarrassed, then nodded and smiled.
When permission was given, he put a ring on her hand.
This concludes the proposal.
It’s something I have to do at least once, but I’m sure I’ll kick the blanket when I think of today’s moment.
-Clap clap clap!
“Congratulations!”
“Wow! “It’s so beautiful.”
And along with the envious exclamations and cheers of the women, men with shocked expressions gave formal congratulatory greetings.
“Haha, it’s the country’s ramp! “We sincerely bless the marriage of the two dukes of the Kingdom of Reinharts!”
In particular, the Crown Prince was at the center of the celebration, as if he was enjoying this situation more than anyone else.
It has to be that way.
The reason I got to propose in front of so many people was because it was the Crown Prince’s work.
I was planning to propose in a flashy but quiet way.
However, the crown prince came up with this idea to further weaken the Croesian Empire, which was angry by creating an issue after winning.
Naturally, I, who am not immune to this kind of thing, was disgusted and opposed it, but I ended up giving in to the crown prince’s provocation, asking if I wanted to make the best proposal to Arsia if possible.
But still…
“Hehe.”
When I saw Arsia’s mouth hanging from ear to ear, I thought I had done well.
I smiled and stroked her cheek.
No matter how selective the marriage was based on strategy…
the feeling of wanting to give Arcia a life without any shortcomings was sincere.
[Proposal of the century!?]
[Duke Adrian L. Lawrence’s serenade for Duke Arsia Klein revealed!]
Of course, it was the greatest sadness that the proposal meme, which could be said to be the final chapter of the dark history of my life, was spread all over the world.
* * *
Having cleared Stage 8 of Chronicle Online’s Giyeon Quest, we have now entered Stage 9, which can be said to be the final quest.
The primary goal of stage 9 of the Giyeon Quest is to first achieve level 300, the maximum level of the game.
Since levels 251 to 300 are the hell level section of Chronicle Online, I decided that it would take a year to reach full level.
However, things changed a lot when the crazy priest ‘Bug’ joined our party.
There was no significant difference in the level-up speed compared to the 8th stage of the Giyeon Quest.
Thanks to this, I felt hopeful that I might be able to reach max level within a year, and I got excited about the game.
But….
“…. Master…. Adrian…. Adrian!”
“huh? “What is it?”
“You just lost your mind.”
“also?”
“Yes, about three minutes. Are you okay?”
One big problem arose.
Lately, there have been cases where I suddenly lose consciousness inside Chronicle Online, as if I were suffering from narcolepsy.
Thanks to this, there were several situations in which I almost died in the game, and my level-up speed, which had been on track for a long time, was slowing down.
“What is it? Is it a combination of fatigue?”
