How a Former Pro Takes Advantage by Doing an Easy Job
Chapter 222

Chapter 222. The Princess' Determination (2)

[If Pena's mother thinks that your talent will be useful, wouldn't it be safe in the next world?] After

reading that far, Pena almost accidentally crumpled the letter.

....To her, the word now is an area that should not be touched.

‘What on earth does my older brother want to do...?'

You should just read it quickly and dispose of it.

The time when I kept reading with a dark feeling.

Pena's gaze skimmed over the sentence at the bottom of the letter and stopped there.

No, not only that, but her eyes are trembling greatly.

“???? now?????? what???????”

Did your eyes get worse during that time?

Pena took off her glasses and examined them.

There are no flaws. It's not something buried.

Putting her glasses back on, Pena read that part again.

I also didn't see it wrong.

“This is nonsense... what the hell is your older brother thinking?”

It came out involuntarily.

The shaking never stops.

No matter how many times you read it, the sentence won't change.

But I didn't want to admit it.

It was as if he was bragging that he had made a plan with the Holy Kingdom to attack Ernesia Kingdom.

As if it were natural, Pena was asked to understand and cooperate with it.

A half commanding tone.

However, Pena didn't care about such a reckless attitude.

What matters is its content.

“Why did you think this… No…

Wasn’t my older brother okay before that?! You don’t know what this means?!”

I couldn't believe it.

no.

I just can't get past this.

Pena desperately shook her head.

What should I do?

What should I do.....

She kept thinking in silence, then kicked off her chair and got up.

The chair fell backwards and crashed, and the servants hurriedly entered the room, but Pena didn't even look at them.

Right now, their reaction doesn't even catch my eye.

Instead, what came to mind was another person's face.

“Your Highness the Princess! What the hell...

“Right! Arel! ....Hey! Are you there now?”

Pena asked the servant who was taking care of the seat.

“Arel-nim is... in the office right now... Wait a minute!”

Suddenly, Pena ran out, and the servant called her, but she didn't even pretend to listen.

As it was, I ran down the hallway and headed to Arell's office.

“that's right! Arel! ....Hey! Are you there now?”

Pena asked the servant who was taking care of the seat.

“Arel-nim is... in the office right now... Wait a minute!”

Suddenly, Pena ran out, and the servant called her, but she didn't even pretend to listen.

As it was, I ran down the hallway and headed to Arell's office.

....Why is he suddenly like this? It doesn't look like he's in a hurry to go to the bathroom.

I keep it a secret from Pena, but I already know that the Empire is sending her a secret letter.

If you wish, you can peek at the contents alone during the censorship.

But there was little interest in secret letters.

It is true that the Merman Empire will not have the power to directly touch us for the next few years.

If so, I could only guess that they would unite with the Holy Kingdom and plot some trivial thing.

More than anything else, I'm busy thinking of ways to pay back this situation to the saintess rather than the empire.

How should I put the feeling of humiliation on her face in a pretty and noble way?

I'm just thinking about that.

However, a call came in saying that Pena was suddenly acting strangely.

First of all, he was a person of interest, and thanks to the instructions to report to me immediately if anything happened, the call came at the same time as Pena ran out of the hallway.

‘...by now you'd probably be reading the secret letter, does that have something to do with it?'

I told the servant who was waiting for orders to do what to do.

It's not like running outside.

Apparently, it seems to be coming to my office, so if you block it and injure it, that will be more difficult.

Sure enough, Pena ran straight to my office.

You look like you're pretty excited?

What is he doing this for?

“Ah Arell….. I have something to say…

. Look at the bloodshot in his eyes.

“Haha…

” “Why don’t you calm down and catch your breath?”

If someone sees it, they'll know that they're here to eat it.

I told Pena, who was out of breath, to calm down, and for now, I ordered the servant to bring tea that would be good for calming down.

“What are you so embarrassed about, not like you usually are?”

Even though he usually has a sad side that makes it easy to tease him, he wasn't such a restless guy.

“Drink some tea and calm down. If you don't, I'll open your mouth and force you in.”

Having said that, I try to catch my breath.

After a while, the real Pena handed me the letter I was probably reading a while ago.

Crumpled is not a love letter.

that pusher

“Why is this...?”

“…Read that first. And we'll talk.”

It would be difficult to pass it on to read it...

For now, I accepted it as I was told to.

....I expected it, but it seems that Pena is not treated well within the Empire.

Seeing the emperor's tone in the letter, I naturally frowned.

It's a bit embarrassing because I feel like I've somehow learned about Pena's personal history.

Having read all the way to the bottom of the letter, I...

“...what is this?”

Seriously, I couldn't help but feel ridiculous.

“Is the emperor of the empire sane?”

I couldn't believe it, so I read it again.

Oh my gosh, townsfolk! Look at this!

“Are you crazy? No, is this just crazy? Yes I'm sure this is just crazy!”

That crazy little sister is glaring at me with complicated eyes.

“…Hmm, the words came out a little honestly. Sorry not corrected. I'll say it again.”

I read one more time

“Aren’t you an idiot?”

The idiot's younger sister is holding her head in frustration.

I'll have to play around with it in moderation.

However, my jokes are half sincere.

Seriously, I'm being ridiculous.

Shouldn't that be the case?

“Is the emperor of the Merman Empire really considering this a ruse right now?”

At least it's close to the most realistic bullshit I've ever heard since I was born in this lifetime.

I'm sure that even if it's not me, everyone will react like this.

“The empire will sell its people to the holy nation as slave soldiers?”

The contents of the letter.....

Even if the upper part was just skipped for the sake of Pena, the lower part could not be understood with my common sense.

Part of the war plan drawn by the Empire against the Holy Kingdom.

The problem is that it's a really crazy plan.

How could the emperor of the Merman Empire sell his own people to the Holy Kingdom at a bargain price?

Isn't it common sense that it can't happen and it should never happen.

similar perspective.

Bedroom of the emperor of the Merman Empire.

Emperor Eylan Amret Janil is muttering contentedly as he lies on his bed.

“The Sun Emperor... Not only my abama, but the empire has regarded the kingdom of Ernesia as a thorn in the eye for generations.”

“Is that so?”

Listening to his story is a woman from the Holy Land who recently got married.

She is the current emperor's empress.

She was quietly listening to the Emperor's story and arguing softly.

“About 500 years ago. A country built by a commoner who dared to call himself a king.

That is the kingdom of Ernesia.”

Externally, the Merman Empire is not hostile to the Ernesia Kingdom because their power cannot be ignored.

However, the emperors who had succeeded to the empire for a long time harbored enmity toward them.

“Abama Mama tried to attack Ernesia Kingdom according to the will of our ancestors, but failed and got sick as a result.”

“…It is truly unfortunate.”

“That's right... Even now, you don't know how much my heart hurts every time I see Obama.”

He squeezed his voice as if he was genuinely indignant.

If anyone with even the slightest common sense would hear this, they would think it was absurd.

It was the former emperor who unreasonably caused the war.

And it's his responsibility to lose.

Even so, the current emperor still blames only the petty people.

“Actually, I was giving up on my luggage. I wanted to take over Obama right away and pay for the humiliation… but I couldn’t.”

In fact, he even expressed his desire to start a war again.

However, since the servants were all ripped off, he could not claim any more.

After that, troublesome things continued to happen, such as the undead incident.

With the help of Seong-guk, the situation was somehow avoided, but even after that, there was no hole in which to unfold the will as desired.

“I am grateful to the Holy Kingdom. After all, I almost lost my light to those Ernesia guys. Even after the previous undead incident, they continue to be indebted to you.”

“Everything is due to Your Majesty’s benevolence.”

The empress only answered with a soft smile.

As if he liked her attitude, the emperor was always in a good mood.

“Your Majesty...

” “Hmm? Tell me.”

“Are you really going to be okay?”

Needless to say what it means.

It meant a treaty to serve the Empire's citizens as enslaved soldiers.

To that end, the Empire has already received a significant amount of gold coins and support from the Holy Land.

“It was proposed by my country, but many people will surely lose their lives on the battlefield.”

“It doesn't matter.”

he asserted.

His eyes darkened slightly, but there was no hesitation in his voice.

“The people will be happy to understand if you wash away the humiliation of the empire. In addition, the empire will survive with this.

“Is that so? But wouldn’t it be a big deal if the number of slaves decreased?”

“What is the point of reducing the number of slaves? As long as the kingdom of Ernesia is destroyed, it can be replenished as much as possible...”

“Is that so? Truly, you are a wise sight.”

The Empress praised the Emperor.

If anyone with even a little bit of common sense had known this, he would have tried to correct his thoughts somehow.

But now such a person no longer remains in the Empire.

It was because all the servants who had already spoken bitterly against him were all dealt with by the emperor's hand.

As a result, despite the promotion of this ridiculous plan, none of the subjects were opposed.

“I’m sure your ancestors would be proud too.”

The empress looked down at the emperor and smiled kindly.

Even though there is a cruel light in her smile.

The Emperor, unaware of this fact, happily waits for a future that will not even exist.

not noticing anything

The empress was simply blatantly ridiculing him for not even thinking about him anymore.

Even so, the emperor does not notice.

It was impossible to see anything insignificant in the sight of a human whose eyes were once blurred.

Are you exporting slaves now because you have nothing to sell?

It is truly the greatest bullshit that will go down in history.

No matter how many times I read it, I get the same impression.

They say they are slaves, but they provide their own citizens to other countries as slave soldiers?

Even as troops for war?

Even if you listen to Pena's explanation, it is said that the emperor might be happy by now, thinking that this was a good strategy.

“What a boring joke.”

“Ugh.”

Pena couldn't refute as if she was stabbed to the point.

On the contrary, he is even more devastated by my reaction to asking if he was joking.

If so, that means it's real.

I know she's not the type to play silly pranks like this.

And just looking at Pena's face now, I can tell that she's serious.

It's the first time I've seen this guy look so confused.

“. Really.”

Pena, who was still silent, managed to squeeze her voice out.

“My older brother... I'm sure you really think so... It's strange... He obviously didn't go this far until now. But why...

She seems to be quite confused.
