Chapter 129   . An Uninvited Guest in the Middle of the Night (Pt . 2)“Y-Yes . It hurts, so . . . P-Please let go . ”

Skadi murmured, her voice strained due to Kang Chul-In’s grip .

But instead, Kang Chul-In’s grip grew stronger .

“Shut up . Stop trying to play tricks . ”

“N-No, really… I, I…”

“No, I don’t care . ”

Kang Chul-In’s beast-like, terrifying gaze seemed to pierce through Skadi’s purple eyes .

“Whatever you wanted to do, or tell me, I don’t care about . Who told you that you were allowed to trespass into my territory?”

“P-Please… Sorry… Kuhuk…”

Even though Skadi apologized, Kang Chul-In was currently extremely pissed off .

He was currently in his office, in the deepest part of the Laputa territory . It was also close to the place where his beloved daughter, Arshelly, was sleeping .

If Skadi had aimed for Arshelly instead?

Then Kang Chul-In would have probably ripped her into shreds, before throwing her out for the dogs to eat her remains .

No, he probably would have sentenced her to a more painful, and slower death .

How dare she come in here like this, without the permission of anyone?

Though Kang Chul-In had admittedly become a better Lord and a warmer person, he still hadn’t lost his toughness, and could still become a terrifying person when he wanted to .

“R-Really, I’m really sorry . T-There was no other choice… I-If me coming here got spread, then…”

“I told you, I don’t care . ”

“P-Please… please, have mercy on me once . Overlord Kang Chul-In… please give me a chance for conversation…”

Skadi seemed as if she were about to be suffocated to death, but she still spoke the words on her mind .

T-This man… he’s really planning on killing me!

Now, Skadi finally realized what a terrifying person Kang Chul-In really was . At this rate, she would really die in a few moments due to lack of breath .

“Please . . at least give me a chance to explain…”

“I don’t want to hear what you have to say . ”

“P-Please…”

“You’ve really got on my bad side . ”

Kang Chul-In roared in anger .

“This is where my daughter and my closest subordinates stay . There is no mercy for those that trespass this area . ”

“I have… something to…”

“Shut up . ”

Kang Chul-In still refused to listen . The woman standing in front of him was supposed to be dead already . He had known that she was going to die anyway, and he had also seen her completely drop out of the Lord rankings .

Yet, that Skadi was alive, and currently seeking shelter within the Laputa territory?

It didn’t feel very good .

Was there really a reason to keep her alive?

Who knew if she might have a secret card up her sleeve?

Maybe if she had tried to talk and negotiate it first before entering the Laputa territory things may have been different, but this uninvited visit pissed Kang Chul-In off .

Skadi should have been more cautious in her encounter with Kang Chul-In .

“Now, die . ”

At that point, Kang Chul-In was ready to snap Skadi’s neck .

But before he could commit to the act,

“Father?”

His kind daughter, the little angel that was Arshelly, delayed the death of Skadi .

“ . . . Arshelly . ”

“Father…”

Arshelly seemed to be in shock .

It made sense, as they were in the middle of the night and her father was about to snap a random woman’s neck . Arshelly was still a child, after all .

“Is she an intruder?”

But still, Arshelly didn’t misunderstand the situation here . Even though she was young, she was extremely intelligent and quick-witted . Kang Chul-In nodded his head .

“And by giving me the power to control the Esmerelda territory, you’ll also be giving me an excuse to wage war against both Rothschild and Albrecht?”

“Exactly . ”

“But right now, there are too many things to do before I am able to control that territory without any problems . There are lots for me to do . ”

“I know . ”

“It might take a few years . ”

“I don’t care about how long it takes . If someone isn’t able to do the job, then the citizens of the Esmerelda territory will always suffer in pain . ”

“So… is that it? For taking you in, you are going to give me control over the Esmerelda territory?”

“ . . . There’s one more thing I didn’t add . ”

“Speak . ”

“Well…”

Skadi hesitated a bit, before…

“Please marry me, Overlord Kang Chul-In . ”

Showing her ridiculous ‘bravery,' that put even Hecate to shame .

“Please take me and the Esmerelda territory in, and have a marriage with me . If you do so, I’ll treat this as something more than just a political marriage, and treat you with all my sincerity . ”

--------

The next morning .

Due to Skadi Andvari’s sudden request, the Laputa territory was completely flipped over .

“We have to do this . ”

Kwak-jung had just come back from Earth when he had first heard of this matter .

“No, not just this, but we also have to set up a political marriage with the Lord of the Dorado territory, Lee Chae-rin . Isn’t it obvious that as an Overlord, Milord also has to do these things in order to create more stable alliances? Not only that, but they also say that a hero has 3 or more wives, so no one would dare to curse at you, Milord . ”

Drakan, who usually didn’t talk during these meetings, also opened his mouth .

“I also believe that for this matter, Milord should agree to this marriage . As a powerful man like Milord, isn’t it your duty to leave behind descendants to carry on the powerful bloodline? If Milord were to bear a prince as his second child, everyone within the territory would be overjoyed . ”

Drakan also agreed with Kwak-Jung, and demanded that he marry .

Kang Chul-In hadn’t yet arrived at the meeting, and everyone was deciding without letting him know . Looking at the festive atmosphere, it seemed like Kang Chul-In’s marriage was already decided .

But one person was extremely flustered from the words being spoken during this meeting .

Milord… will marry…

It was secretary Lucia .

“Ehem…”

Alfred spoke .

“I think everyone’s getting too heated here . Why don’t we resume this talk after we take a short break . ”

Surprisingly, it was none other than Alfred who came to the rescue of Lucia, even though he was one of the people that usually demanded Kang Chul-In marry .

“Is that so? Fine, let me have some candy and we can continue . ”

Taking out some candy from his pocket, Kwak-Jung started to eat it . It was his new habit, as Kang Chul-In had forced him to quit smoking .

“Secretary Lucia . ”

Alfred handed Lucia some warm tea .

“Yes, Butler Alfred?”

“Why haven’t you yet proposed marriage to Milord?”

“That… there’s a reason for that . ”

“Huhu, what kind of reason?”

“Well…”

Lucia spoke of her secrets .

------

At the same time, in the Lord’s hall .

“I can’t stand this anymore!”

Sitting atop the throne with an uncomfortable expression, Kang Chul-In finally made an extreme decision .

Ting-!

Once again, he had broken the windows and jumped out . He had run away because he was too scared to face his scariest enemy to date: marriage .

“M-Milord!”

“W-Where are you going, Milord!”

“Milord!”

Even though the servants tried to stop Kang Chul-In, they were powerless to do so .

“Tell them that I’ve gone to meet the Nine-tails!”

Saying that, Kang Chul-In disappeared into the horizon .
