The Overlord of Blood and Iron (WN)-Chapter 253

Chapter 253

Chapter 253: To the Baldur Region

3 days later, after Kwak Jung left the Valhalla Kingdom with the army in tow . . .

Vilhelm . . . he’ll probably trust Kwak Jun for the time being .

Having woken up, Kang Chul-In’s head was spinning busily .

“Stop with the bullshit, Akan . ”

<< . . . >>

“Do you think that I, the Supreme King of the West, Kang Chul-In, will apologize to trash like that?”

<<So you’re saying…>>

“And that’s not the end of it . I won’t plead in front of you, the self-proclaimed god’s lapdog . ”

<<You’ll regret it . >>

“I would never do anything like that . ”

Kang Chul-In didn’t surrender .

Rather, he irritated Akan more, and the result was that he was injured just enough to avoid dying .

“It hurts like hell . Ow!”

However, instead of being angry, Kang Chul-In was having the time of his life .

An act .

Making the mess at the Lords’ Meeting was enough to trick Vilhelm completely .

It would be rude of Vilhelm if he didn’t fall for it since Kang Chul-In risked his life to put on that act .

How could Vilhelm find out about this conspiracy unless Kwak Jun stabbed Kang Chul-In in the back?

As long as Vilhelm didn’t suspect anything, the effects of the act would continue for a while .

And . . .

I was right .

Kang Chul-In was able to learn something .

It was that the Erinyes system didn’t kill rank number one .

Akan should’ve killed me under normal circumstances, but he didn’t . I was right . As long as it’s not something like murder, making a commotion like that . . .

The reason why Kang Chul-In caused the commotion was to trick Vilhelm, but also because he was confident that Akan wouldn’t kill him .

This great force, the Erinyes system, was made a thousand years ago for a specific reason .

Such a system wouldn’t kill the highest ranker just because a rule was broken . From the beginning, Kang Chul-In was an existence full of the Emperor of Blood and Iron’s schemes anyway .

“Y-your Majesty!”

Alfred, who had entered the VVIP room to use Blood Heal, was greatly taken aback seeing Kang Chul-In moving .

“Oh, you’re here?”

“Your Majesty! What’s so funny!? Can you laugh in the state you’re in? Hm?”

Alfred shouted in anger .

“I thought you changed, but what am I supposed to do if you cause something like that! I wasn’t able to sleep thinking of how the great Majesty ended up like . . . ”

“O-Ow . . . ”

“ . . . !”

“Alfred… I’m tired . . . ”

“ . . . Your Majesty . ”

“I… should sleep . . . ”

“ . . . ”

“Hmhm . . . ”

Right before the nagging was about to start, Kang Chul-In slowly turned around making pained noises .

It was because he knew all too well that if he didn’t do this, Alfred’s nagging would be enough to destroy his eardrums .

“Ahem . . . !”

Alfred grumbled .

“You’re quite clever, aren’t you, sir?”

“Hmhm . . . ”

“Are you gonna be like this again? Sir?”

“I’m sleepy . . . ”

“ . . . ”

“Hmhm… Why does it seem like you’re even more sly than before?”

“It’s because I’m old . ”

“Is that something you can say in front of me?”

“Hmhm . ”

“Goodness . ”

Alfred ended up being forced to calm his boiling emotions down .

He knew that when Kang Chul-In was in that sly mode, there was no point to his nagging .

“Anyways . ”

Kang Chul-In changed the subject .

“Did you deliver my orders?”

“Are you doubting me? Humph!”

Alfred responded sharply . It seemed he was quite upset .

“I delivered them reallllllly well, your Majesty . ”

“ . . . ”

“Of course I did~ . What would it matter to you what this oldie is concerned about?”

“ . . . ”

“Whew… but I still hope you’re careful . It hasn’t even been that long since you married . You’re not planning on making her Majesties into widows, are you?”

“Of course not . ”

Kang Chul-In shook his head .

“I intended everything and it was all set up . Think of it as a tactical scam to trick Vilhelm . I didn’t end up like this because I was on a rampage . ”

“If you say so… I won’t nag anymore . ”

Alfred nodded .

Kang Chul-In wasn’t just a dumb brute .

Although he sometimes created messes he couldn’t fix when he was furious, he was a Lord to be proud of when he set up strategies that no one would’ve been able to think of .

Knock knock .

While Alfred was thinking those thoughts, someone knocked on the door .

“Husband . . . ”

It was Lee Chae-rin .

“Come in . ”

“Are you alright?”

Lee Chae-rin looked haggard . It seemed like she hadn’t got any sleep worrying about him .

“Of course . I’ll probably have to rest a few more days, but the physician said there’s nothing to worry about . ”

Kang Chul-In glanced at Alfred .

Blood Heal .

This healing technique was the reason why Kang Chul-In could throw himself into trouble without any worry .

“Humph!”

Alfred left with a snort . It was true that he was upset, but he also left so the two could be alone .

“Husband . . . ”

“Why do you look like you’re going to cry?”

“Why did you do that…? Heuk heuk, I… was really surprised, heuk . . . ”

“It was set up . ”

“Still! How can you make someone worry this much, heuk…?”

“Everything’s fine . ”

Kang Chul-In wiped the beads of tears around Lee Chae-rin’s eyes off .

“Didn’t I promise? I won’t die . ”

“ . . . Humph . ”

“Come here . ”

Kang Chul-In pulled Lee Chae-rin to the bed .

“Oh my!”

Lee Chae-rin was taken aback .

“H-Husband . . . !”

She was on top of Kang Chul-In .

“I-It’s embarrassing!”

“So what?”

Kang Chul-In smirked .

“This is my personal room, and no one can enter without my permission . ”

“B-But!”

“We’re a married couple . Who would say anything about us being in this position?”

“Heung . . . ”

“You’re even prettier when I see you from below . ”

“W-Whatever!”

It was cringy, but Kang Chul-In was being 100% genuine .

Lee Chae-rin was really beautiful .

If Ninetails had the beauty of a Kumiho, Lee Chae-rin perfectly fit the standards of a Korean beauty . Elegant and soft .

“We haven’t . . . ”

Kang Chul-In opened his mouth .

“T-That’s!”

“Sorry . I was too busy . ”

He was talking about how he hadn’t slept with her yet .

“Heung . . . ”

Lee Chae-rin grumbled .

“Did you like Unnie’s arms that much? So much that you didn’t want to leave?”

“That’s not it . ”

“Sure!”

“I was thinking about you . But the time…”

“That’s an excuse!”

“It’s really not . ”

Kang Chul-In firmly denied it .

“I was always thinking about you . If I wasn’t busy, I would’ve slept with you a long time ago . ”

“R-Really . . . ?”

“Of course . Also, I have to leave for a while because something came up . ”

“What?”

Lee Chae-rin’s eyes widened .

“It’s to draw the big picture . There’s nothing I can do about it . But it’s something I have to do . ”

“I see . . . ”

“So before I leave, I want to spend a good time with you . I’m being sincere . ”

Kang Chul-In wrapped his arm around Lee Chae-rin’s toned waist .

“Huk!”

“Lee Chae-rin . ”

“Y-Yes?”

“I love you . ”

“ . . . !”

“Heup…!”

What followed after was a deep kiss .

It happened inside the VVIP hospital room that only Kang Chul-In could use .

“Heuk, heung . . . h-husband… heung… y-you can’t!”

Lee Chae-rin struggled against him .

“You don’t… want to?”

Kang Chul-In was flustered at her unexpected rejection, but . . .

“That’s not it!”

It seemed like that wasn’t the case .

“You’re hurt . ”

“I’m alright . ”

“For at least two days, you should be taking it easy!”

“But . . . ”

“J-Just stay still . . . ”

“ . . . !”

“I-I’ll . . I’ll . . . ”

Lee Chae-rin muttered with her head down . She couldn’t lift her face from the embarrassment .

“ . . . Since I’m older . ”

“ . . . !”

“Since you’re… hurt . . . !”

Swoosh!

Lee Chae-rin began to take off Kang Chul-In’s hospital clothes .

This kind of situation was awesome for Kang Chul-In .

And because she was on top of him, it was easier for her to move .

Lee Chae-rin!

Kang Chul-In didn’t resist .

To deny her when she was being this forward? That was rude .

If he treated the courage of the woman who loved him like that, he didn’t deserve that love . Wouldn’t Lee Chae-rin have some pride of her own?

Kang Chul-In didn’t have any reason to deny her because he loved her, too .

Some time passed .

Shift .

Lee Chae-rin’s hand was at Kang Chul-In’s “true form” .

“Huk!”

She lifted her head quick as lightning .

Blooooop!

The symbol of a true man was there .

“H-Husband, how…?”

Lee Chae-rin was speechless .

This is it! This was why Unnie was bedridden!

Lee Chae-rin realized why Ninetails had stayed inside her bed for an entire week .

***

The next morning .

“Then, I’ll be back . ”

Kang Chul-In secretly left the Valhalla Kingdom .

“Stay safe, Husband!”

“Come back safely, your Majesty . ”

Ninetails and Skadi saw Kang Chul-In out .

Lee Chae-rin… wasn’t there .

It was because she had been lying sick in bed since making love with Kang Chul-In .

“But Husband,” Ninetails asked . “Where are you going?”

“I’m going to Dorian’s territory . ”

“That means . . . ”

“We’re planning on shaking up their rear . ”

“Aha!”

Yes .

While Kwak Jung was leading the army, Kang Chul-In was going to carry out small tasks like assasination and terror with Dorian .

Also, if he had the chance, he was planning on taking Rothchild’s last life to finish his revenge .

It’s now time to have your head .

***

Meanwhile at the same time in Seoul, South Korea, at some elementary school in Seocho . . .

“Hing . . . ”

Arshelly’s footsteps didn’t have any bounce as she returned home from school . This was because her father had been bedridden right after the second Lords’ Meeting .

“Hing… Father . . . I hope he gets better soon… No, let’s not worry! Butler Alfred is taking care of father well, so he’ll definitely get better soon!”

She clenched her fists .

Always Kang Chul-In .

The lovable princess’ head was only filled with thoughts about her dad, her dad, and even more of her dad .

All the boys at her school experienced the bitter taste of first love as they sent her candy, chocolate, and puppies[1] .

Unfortunately, she didn’t know that Kang Chul-In was on his way to the Baldur region .

“I should return quickly and greet father!”

Arshelly picked up her pace .

Crash!

Until she bumped into someone at the end of the hallway .

“Ow!”

Arshelly shouted adorably, having hit her butt on the floor .

“Oh my!”

The person who bumped into her spoke in surprise .

“Are you alright?”

“I’m fine!”

Arshelly jumped up with a bright voice . This was nothing for a brave princess .

“I should’ve looked where I was going, sorry . . . ”

Just as she was trying to apologize first like the kind princess she was, her words trailed away .

Thump,

Thump thump-!

Her heart started to beat faster .

“M-Mom . . . ?”

A voice filled with longing escaped her throat .
