The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life - Chapter 462

Chapter 462 Epilogue, New Days (6)

It was a foolish proposal.

What he said while holding out a blank paper would never have been taken seriously had it not been for the Marquis Valentino.

‘Perhaps he’s serious.’

several months ago.

There was an incident related to the Marquis of Valentino.

There was an artwork he coveted, but the other party said he could never sell it because it was his father’s keepsake. It wasn’t a lie to raise the conditions.

In fact, since he is famous for his stubbornness around him, I thought that there was no other way for him as the Marquis Valentino this time.

a few days after that.

The Marquis of Valentino sealed the deal.

The other party had a wild dream of having an island of their own, but they really bought an uninhabited island in Odelia and proposed it to him.

And that’s with the addition of a vacation home for the rest of my life. I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at my opponent, and people were talking about how brightly he smiled that day.

That was Valentino.

Called a greedy collector, he now looked at Chris with serious eyes.

Chris said.

“I understand Marquis Valentino’s will. I know this deal is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but I can’t accept any more than that. It is not simply because of the symbolism of the sword bestowed by His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry. Even when I saw the performance of the sword itself, I have no confidence in finding a better sword than this in my future life.”

“I agree with you. But we will find an alternative.”

“The alternative is impossible. If you’ve researched me, you know what I’m after.”

An annual ranking match.

Chris came on stage every time.

Trampling on the challengers who took his place, he has repeated the impossible challenge of surpassing Roman Dmitri.

There was something like a certainty that took control of my head every time. He knew that even though he was lacking in terms of skill, if even the performance of his sword was inferior, there would be no chance for him to win.

Unlike Kevin, who said he couldn’t sell anything because it was a sword bestowed by Roman Dmitri, Chris had a really practical reason.

blast furnace.

No matter what terms the Marquis Valentino offered, Chris hadn’t even considered the deal from the start.

“The more equal each other’s skills are, the more the match is decided by a single difference. If that moment comes, I will forever regret the sale of the sword. I know the heart of the Marquis Valentino well. If this sword is to be sold, I will definitely put the Marquis first.”

“… Will that moment ever come?”

“Isn’t it something you don’t know about the world? If I defeat His Majesty and be recognized as the best sword in the continent, then I will not be bound by the performance of the sword.”

at that point.

Marquis Valentino’s expression distorted.

It seems to be saying that there is a way, but everyone in the world knew how absurd it was.

“It’s me, Chris. I looked good, but it’s not like that. If you don’t like it, you say no. Why are you saying such nonsense?”

I didn’t even have to calculate.

The moment Chris says the dream will come true will never come.

* * *

The fuss is over.

The Marquis Valentino showed a sloppy reaction even right before they parted ways.

“Chris. There are always going to be difficulties in human life. When you feel so exhausted that when you take a moment to catch your breath, you fall to the floor and think you can’t get up. Turn your head and look where I am. I will always be by Chris’ side. If Chris gives me a hand, I will gladly take it and help him move in the right direction. keep in mind That I will always be on Chris’s side. of course… The price of this blind love is only a first no-name.”

He was such a great person.

On the way to break up with him, I thought that maybe because of that fanatic aspect, I might have become the richest man on the continent.

Actually, that was the truth.

Marquis Valentino would have lived in a well called Cairo if he had not encountered the sword of Roman Dmitri, who ignited his collection desire.

I turned my steps.

headed to the office.

Since morning training was over, it was time to take care of the tasks piled up in front of his name.

‘Recently, the relationship between Valhalla and Hector has not been unusual. It must be that the bad relationship from the past continues. As Hector expands his power as a kingdom of magic, he will inevitably collide with the Valhalla Empire.’

It was a sensitive issue.

Chris and Kevin.

Both were part of an independent unit.

If Fernando, the guard, had the role of protecting the palace, Chris and Kevin only followed Roman Dmitri’s orders.

Chris has public affairs and Kevin has secret affairs. The problem of Valhalla and Hector needed to be prepared in advance in case of an emergency during Chris’ work period.

just as expected.

I arrived at the office and had just handed over some papers when a soldier delivered an urgent message.

“Chris! Something went wrong. It looks like Hector and Valhalla are trying to stick together!”

Took.

put down the pen

Chris leaned back in his chair and gave a cold expression.

“okay?”

The world was at peace.

However, fighting over interests was a separate issue from peace.

The dispute between the two countries stemmed from an incident.

a few days ago.

Count Kazuri, who runs the Merchant in Valhalla, made a deal with Baron Stuart, a nobleman of Hector. There was no problem up to that point.

Things started to get serious when, just before the deal was struck, Baron Stewart made a deal with someone else who offered better terms.

It was an ordinary problem.

It was all too common in Sanggye, but Count Kazuri reacted with great anger at the opponent’s attitude.

“How dare a baron feed me?”

The nobles of Valhalla.

they are imperial

Although it was not the same as before after being defeated by Dmitri, they still had pride as an empire. Hector touched the reverse.

It was obviously a matter that could be passed over casually, but I thought that Count Kazuri was ignoring himself because Valhalla had fallen for no reason.

It was the result of an inferiority complex.

As Valhalla’s unique warlike tendencies revived, this anger could not be resolved in any other way than violence.

Attacked Baron Stuart’s carriage.

I blew the cheek of Baron Stewart who was shouting what the hell was this for interrupting the uphill journey. Fortunately, no fatalities occurred.

If it had been 3-4 years ago, the incident would have ended like this, but King Edwin Hector, who currently leads Hector, reacted with great anger as soon as he was reported on this incident.

“This is obviously Valhalla’s fault. Unless Valhalla directly apologizes for this, I will never stand still as King of Hector.”

This was the current situation.

In a situation where he went from Hector to the King, Count Kazuri was belatedly caught fire.

He was immediately summoned to the central government of Valhalla. Naturally, he heard an unexpected story from the emperor of Valhalla.

“Hold on.”

“… yes?”

“This issue was not something that would turn into a fight between countries. But what do you think is the reason Edwin Hector is raising this issue by taking the initiative himself? He needs a cause. A plausible justification to somehow elevate Hector’s prestige to cause a direct conflict with Valhalla.”

recent.

Valhalla and Hector collided with each other.

There was no particular conflict.

As Hector expanded his influence as a kingdom of magic, a problem arose as he no longer treated Valhalla the way he used to. It was a time to see each other.

If he took a step back from here, a situation could have occurred in which Valhalla, an empire that only had patterns, was completely pushed away by Hector.

Count Kazuri and Baron Stuart.

The two were just excuses.

When Hector raised his affairs with Baron Stuart, the Emperor of Valhalla also expressed his position that he could not resign.

“In this world where Dmitry rules, the country that occupies a place next to him can enjoy wealth and glory. Cairo and Hector secured priority in the continental war, but that doesn’t mean their place will last forever. Valhalla will surely prove the power of the empire and take the seat next to Dmitri.”

It was a strong voice.

I never had any intention of antagonizing Dmitri.

however.

However, he had no intention of excluding power.

“I will do as you command.”

Count Kazuri laughed.

Valhalla is looking after you.

There was nothing better for him.

But the joy is short-lived.

When Valhalla did not officially take care of this matter, within a few days, Hector requested magic communication.

* * *

Beyond the communication screen.

Edwin Hector appeared.

After taking over the king’s position through formal procedures, he looked at the leaders of Valhalla with a cold expression.

[Nowhere in the world is there a law that attacks an opponent for not being able to make a deal. It’s a simple matter. Count Kazuri did something wrong and we want an apology for that. Even in a situation where the answer is clear, if he sticks to his current attitude, Hector will have no choice but to doubt his intentions.]

He pointed out the mistake openly.

The atmosphere was frozen cold.

At Edwin Hector’s point, the Emperor of Valhalla, sitting in the high seat, opened his mouth.

“King of Hector. This is a personal matter. If Baron Stuart had personally requested an apology from Count Kazuri, we would have tried to make things work out. But as Hector stepped forward, we couldn’t do that. Even if Count Kazuri was at fault, it was Hector’s fault that made it a problem between nations.”

[So you’re saying you can’t apologize?]

“Yes.”

[Valhalla is now delusional. empires and kingdoms. Although I do give examples, the meaning has faded, except for the Empire of Dmitry. By the way, it’s disrespectful of us to just ignore this issue because we can’t accept Valhalla’s admission of error. Emperor of Valhalla. Do you really think this is right?]

Crossed the line.

It was as expected.

Even if Hector had a cause, this was a matter of national pride.

“No more crossing the line.”

[Okay.]

Edwin Hector’s expression hardened coldly.

Negotiations broke down.

[Please do not regret this choice.]

Took.

unilateral termination of communication.

On the blackened screen, Valhalla’s leaders lost their words.

“… Is this the right response?”

one of the leaders said.

Edwin Hector’s last words.

left insecurity.

Called Hector’s star, he was never a person to be taken lightly.

In a situation where the attention of the leaders was focused, the Emperor of Valhalla met their gaze with unwavering eyes.

“Valhalla is currently going downhill. The Continental War was lost, and we swore allegiance to His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry, doing what we thought was right. That’s how the present Valhalla was created. To bring back the romance of Valhalla to its former glory. We are here.”

His expression changed.

Once an aristocrat, he now has the dignity of an emperor.

“No matter what happens in the future, keep your dignity as an empire. Be a warrior. There will come a moment when we will have to do what we think is not right in order to keep our place.”

everyone in this place.

I knew the truth.

This issue is Count Kazuri’s fault.

However, neither Hector nor Valhalla had the will to solve the starting point.

battle of egos.

Hector fought and Valhalla did not back down.

It was then.

jump!

“Your Majesty! I’m in trouble!”

The knight opened the door and entered.

People’s attention was focused on his pale expression.

“A little while ago, Hector said he crossed the border of Valhalla!”

This made it clear.

That he crossed the border as soon as things went wrong.

Edwin Hector had no intention of improving relations with Valhalla from the beginning.
