Player Who Returned 10000 Years Later - Chapter 360

Player Returns After 10,000 Years Episode 360

Engagement Announcement (1)

…Yes?

Leila opened her eyes wide and looked at Kang-woo as if she couldn’t understand.

Even if it’s out of the blue, it’s too out of the blue. What do you mean by that?

Leila asked, stuttering in embarrassment.

Even if it’s a bad marriage, it doesn’t mean they’re actually engaged.

ah.

A short exclamation escaped Laira’s mouth.

She put her hand on her chin and thought for a moment, then nodded as if she understood what Kang Woo was saying.

By announcing your engagement to Mr. Iris, you are thinking of making Mr. Sihun’s position more solid.

Leila easily noticed Kang Woo’s intentions. yes that’s right

He nodded.

Marriage is a great political tool.

Looking back through history, marriages were far more often used for political purposes.

Especially among those in power.

Sihun is lacking in tradition now.

I see what you mean.

Leila agreed.

In fact, with the current situation alone, Kim Si-hoon has cemented his position as a hero, but announcing his engagement to the princess

will perfectly nail the wedge.

But if that happens, won’t other countries feel a sense of crisis?

Kim Si-hoon should become a hero of the Ernor Continent, not a hero of the Arnan Empire.

In that sense, there is a possibility that the engagement with the princess was rather a handshake.

Because his position, which does not belong to any one country, can also become a weapon.

Kang Woo let out a drool.

That’s a valid objection.

but.

Although there are other countries, the position of the Arnan Empire is overwhelmingly large in the current Erno continent anyway

.

It was not difficult to know that the currency called Arnan was being used throughout the continent. And

it’s not just about getting recognition

from the people of the Arnan Empire .

…You even thought of the high elves

. Yes.

As long as the high elves’ blessing is on Iris.

It’s fair to say that she’s at least more likely to be related to the high elves than the others. From the high elf’s point of view

, there would be no better picture

than Sihun and Iris .

A high elf is a deity with divinity.

It is correct to judge that it is a being with intelligence like Gaia.

It is unknown how much they are interested in the work of the Erno Continent, but at least it will not come out negatively in the picture of the being they blessed and the savior of the continent.

Did you talk to Mr. Sihun and Mr. Iris? No, not yet. I don’t care as long as Sihun is okay. It’s kind of like a real engagement, but… It’s a fake engagement anyway

.

Leila smiled softly and said. ‘As expected, the words communicate well.

No matter how you look at it, Leila is better than Gaia.

Kang Woo smiled and shook his head. Thank you for your understanding. If you got Leila’s consent, it was easy after that.

If it was Kim Si-hoon, he would listen to it unconditionally, and Iris had a crush on Kim Si-hoon from the beginning. ‘I’m using this as an opportunity to get along better

.’

I’m sorry for Leila, but the ultimate goal is to make Iris and Kim Si-hoon really connect.

Right now, Iris’ mental state is very precarious.

There were not many ways to heal the psychology as much as connecting with the person you love.

‘I’m a little sorry.

Even though it was Iris’s choice, she felt somewhat guilty about pushing her until her mind was broken.

There is no better opportunity than this, as you can atone for your sins while reducing one burden that bothers you.

‘Si Hoon-ah also likes more than one heroine.

He’s a bit crazy, but you’ll do just fine.

Kang Woo smiled with satisfaction and headed for Hwangseong.

Are you engaged?

Iris’ eyes trembled.

Rather, it was a more violent reaction than Leila.

but.’

Since the object that Iris has in mind is Sihoon Kim, such a reaction is natural,

and he must be cheering inwardly by now.

Even if it’s an engagement, it’s not a real engagement.

Kang Woo briefly explained the situation. Of course

, I couldn’t tell

her that it was to materialize the high elves, so I changed it to say it was necessary for the empire’s revival.

Ah…

A short exclamation escaped from Iris’s mouth.

Kang Woo smiled and put a hand on her shoulder.

You don’t have to be so disappointed.

yes?

Even if it’s fake, it’s like becoming a fiancée. There will be a lot more opportunities for the two of you than before.

In order to deceive the people around you, you will have to show them together often.

Because I’ll help you make it from a fake engagement to a real engagement this time.

Kang Woo said with a grin.

Iris was locked in thought with her mouth firmly shut.

He suddenly brought up the topic of engagement, and he seemed very confused.

Perhaps the word fake engagement is more complicated in your head. Sihun… What did you say?

I said okay. No matter how fake it is, I heard that your heart trembles because you and Iris became engaged?

Don’t forget to sprinkle with MSG. Iris’ eyes trembled even more violently. Is your heart trembling? It doesn’t mean that Sihun doesn’t have a heart at all.

In fact, Sihun Kim never said anything like that, but

what is it?

I had to do this much to play the role of Cupid of love between two people who have not made any progress .

…okay.

Iris bowed her head with a complicated expression.

Kang Woo smiled brightly.

Even to me, you and Sihun seem to get along well. Don’t be too disappointed that it’s fake this time and

try it well.

I cheered for Iris.

Anyway, make a surprise announcement to my people at the end of this speech.

Kang Woo stood up.

She looked at Kang Woo with a complicated gaze and asked cautiously. I… Kang Woo. huh? I have a question for you.

He twitched his fingers and averted his gaze.

**

*

If you get engaged to Sihun… will the time you spend with Kangwoo decrease?

Probably so.

No matter what the truth is, the people of the country, including nobles, would think that between the two of them, they were truly alone.

*

In such a situation, if he clung to Iris like he is now, there was a high possibility that bad rumors would flow.

what a good thing for you That much will allow me to be with Sihun.

Kang Woo patted Iris on the shoulder and turned around.

Click.

opened the door and went outside.

Left alone in the room, Iris stared at the tightly closed door with her mouth firmly shut.

– I’m sorry.

Iris bit her nails nervously as she stared at the tightly closed door.

-Hohoho, I’m sorry. I dropped the precious engagement ring that Mr. Kang-woo gave me.

Suddenly, Han Seol-ah’s laughter passed my ears.

Enemy!

Blood flowed from the fingernails he had bitten.

…engagement.

Iris stumbled and stood up

.

He muttered the word in a maddening voice.

Now, don’t be nervous, have you memorized all the speeches?

yes. I memorized it all. You just have to be confident. The day when the princess directly judges the aristocrats captured by Kim Si-hun.

Numerous onlookers gathered in the capital square to see the outcome of the ruling, and the ‘broadcast’ used in the Fidelio case was also turned on.

Iris looked down at the plaza with a trembling expression, then moved slowly.

It’s Princess Iris!

Someone shouted, but the response

was not great.

Tsk. What could the princess who was used by the devil do?

Hopefully it’s not just a verdict of not guilty…

The people gathered in the plaza looked up at Iris with a mixture of worry and anxiety.

Iris closed her eyes tightly at the gaze pouring from all directions.

‘It’s not scary.’

Clench your fists.

‘This much.’

It’s not scary at all compared to back then.

Iris opened her eyes slowly.

He stood in front of the magic tool that amplified his voice and opened his mouth.

Citizens of the Empire. Iris’s words continued. I am an incompetent princess.

A chilly silence fell. People who did not even expect that the princess herself would say such a thing looked up at her with bewildered expressions.

He was an idiot who watched as the empire got sick after being deceived by a demon wearing a human mask.

buzz buzz. The noise gets louder.

I won’t make excuses. Iris stiffly raised her head.

I was incompetent and helpless. I abandoned my duties as a princess and closed my eyes to the suffering of my subjects.

But

I won’t do that anymore. I will no longer turn a blind eye to my duties

.

Iris reached out to the aristocrats tied up in front of the plaza.

I will make the bugs that ate the empire pay the price they deserve!

A voice full of determination. Iris shouted at the guards.

Execute all the bugs!

momentary silence.

and.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

People gathered in the plaza were enthusiastic about seeing Iris, who was different from what they feared.

It’s going great.

Kang Woo smiled as he looked down at the cheering people.

Iris personally punishing nobles. People

were enthusiastic

about the podium of the princess, whom they had only thought of as incompetent until now .

‘Because it’s a choice I can’t normally do.’

No matter how guilty a noble is, unless he commits a rebellion, he is generally not executed.

Send them into exile or put them under probation.

‘Although there will be resistance from other nobles.’

It doesn’t matter. On this side, there is Kim Si-hoon. As long as he’s attached to Iris, the nobles can’t even make a sound.

The execution ceremony went smoothly.

The aristocrats, not knowing that the death penalty would come out, screamed loudly, but soon sharp knives cut their throats. Wow!! hurray! Miss Iris! hurray! Long live Kim Sihoon!!

The people gathered in the plaza cheered and chanted the names of Kim Si-hun and Iris whenever the execution ceremony was held.

Next to Iris, Kim Si-hoon waved at people with an awkward smile

.

And… I have one more thing to tell you.

Iris’s words continued. Kang Woo’s eyes sparkled.

‘Oh, I’m finally announcing it.

Kim Si-hoon and Iris’ engagement announcement.

It was the moment when the heroic plan he had been planning since he heard about the legend of the high elves was completed.

I, Iris von Arnan, promised a hero who saved the empire from crisis this time.

Aaaaaaaa!!

Oh look at the reaction.

I haven’t said anything yet, but I’m not even very reluctant.

The name of the hero who will be with me for the rest of my life

…

Iris slowly turned her head.

And Oh Kang-woo.

yes. ….uh?

what?

Oh Kang-woo?
