Chapter 183: Extraordinary event (3)

Even Kirtimuka, a valiant Yacha warrior, could not hide her fear.

The King of Fury nodded slowly and even tolerated her question, which was even somewhat rude, for even the king felt scared, though for a moment.

“Yes, that’s right. We have a secret alliance with uncle. There will never be any occasion for us, gods of arms, to fight the legion of dragons.”

The king not only reassured Kirtimuka but also herself about it. She took a deep breath to calm down.

‘It’s okay. We’ll be alright because we have an alliance with the king. Actually, uncle helped me several times.’

The relationship between the King of Fury and the King of Violence was so good that other kings could not imagine it. That was why the King of Fury called the latter ‘uncle’ openly.

To the King of Fury, the King of Violence was an adult whom she could trust and follow. He was an adviser who helped her make the right decision all the time.

The King of Fury bit her lips once. Because of the King of Violence’s reluctance to fight, she had never talked with him about politics or military affairs. Most of the advice the King of Fury himself sought from him was limited to her personal matters.

Nonetheless, the King of Fury regarded him as an ally. She believed that he would definitely come to her rescue whenever she was involved in a war with other kings.

To be honest, the King of Fury had some grievances against him. How did he not inform her in advance about such a large-scale military action?

‘No, that could not be true.’

Probably the King of Violence had some reason for that, she thought. Maybe even at this moment, an envoy sent by the King of Violence was running toward her own palace.

Besides, it was a national agenda of grave importance.

Even now, it was necessary for the King of Fury to build a proper alliance with him based on their awkward friendship.

The King of Fury tapped her on the cheek lightly. Then she focused on her immediate task.

The King of Violence had a bad relationship with the King of Gluttony. However, their relationship was rather one-sided.

The King of Gluttony hated the King of Violence. The relationship between the two kings was usually bad in the first place, but the former showed extreme hostility to the latter.

There were several rumors about their relationship. Some said they had a bad relationship because of Beelzebub, the former King of Gluttony. Others said the King of Gluttony didn’t like the King of Violence because the latter didn’t possess a sin. Some also cited the inherent inferiority that the King of Gluttony felt toward the King of Violence as the main cause of their bad ties.

The King of Gluttony was originally a Preta, the lowest level demon. But he was well known as a self-made king who persistently climbed to his current position through the power of the sin.

On the other hand, the King of Violence was powerful from his birth because he was born as a dragon, and a red dragon at that, always cited as the strongest race in the demon world.

Of course, the King of Gluttony was born with a sin when he was born, so he was the same as the King of Violence in terms of their special birth. Nonetheless, there was a difference. For the Preta, the lowest level demon, the sin was like a pearl necklace on the neck of a pig. Nobody could even imagine how much the King of Gluttony suffered before climbing to the position of a king.

‘By the way, I thought the King of Violence was in a sleeping mode now.’

It was the real reason why the King of Violence remained silent even in the midst of the turbulent war in the north. Thanks to this, the King of Fury met the King of Violence in recent years.

“Good. I won’t solve the problem by just agonizing over it anyway.”

“Master?”

The King of Fury again put on the ghost mask. He just did it ceremonially rather than just for any reason. As if to reassure Kirtimuka, she stretched out her hand and tapped her shoulder larger than hers.

“Let’s go back too. I think I have to send an envoy to uncle. Just in case, I’m going to see him.”

No matter what the King of Gluttony was doing at the moment, he would be desperately struggling. It was clear that he wasn’t going to act recklessly, but the King of Violence already showed he could be unpredictable. Nobody knew whether the King of Gluttony would act recklessly.

“Okay. I’ll get ready to go back right away.”

Kirtimuka, who finally felt reassured by her trustworthy master’s action, spoke with a nod.

She hurriedly showed due manners to her master then left the balcony to gather the servants, who were scattered throughout the auction house, and prepare a wagon.

The King of Fury, who was about to follow Kirtimuka, stopped. She stepped back and turned around for a moment.

“Yeah, later, not now.”

Even if it was true that her heart pounded when she saw the masked man, now wasn’t the time for her to dwell on him.

Since she saw his face, that was enough for now. If it was meant to be, she would see him again. The King of Fury turned back again. Not as an innocent virgin, but as the king of a country, she stepped forward.

<hr />

When the King of Fury pulled herself together, Yong-ho was in agony.

‘Did she find out my identity?’

He made eye contact with the King of Fury. Although he was at a distance from her, he was sure she did.

‘Why?’

It was when the main auction started that he saw her. So, there was no particular reason for the King of Fury to appear on the balcony where she could see the flying carriage clearly.

Of course, there was something like “coincidence” that could be the reason in any situation, but there was a fat chance she came out to the balcony by chance.

If the King of Fury was looking for him and as a result saw him for the second time, it was possible in the worst scenario that she might have found out that he was the King of Greed.

‘No, I hope not.’

It wasn’t just his mere optimism. He could feel it when his eyes met hers, though very briefly.

Embarrassment. Surprise. Heart beating fast.

‘Dang it. Did she completely figure out my identity?’

If she was also confused and surprised to know that Yong-ho was the King of Greed, all the puzzles would be put together to solve all the unanswered questions.

‘Ah, I don’t know. I don’t think so. It’s unlikely she has recognized me.’

Above all, the King of Fury did not have the heart of the Demon God. Besides, she encountered him at a longer distance than when he faced her in the past. So, it was unlikely that she might have noticed his identity. Even if she had noticed him, the King of Fury would not have sat idle, just looking at him blankly in such a situation.

‘Anyway, my visit this time paid off because I saw the bare face of the King of Fury.’

She was a fresh and beautiful girl whose nickname ‘fury’ didn’t suit her at all.

Yong-ho closed his eyes and once again thought of her face.

And there were two people watching Yong-ho at that moment.

“Oh my... He is now thinking of another woman, right?”

Kaiwan, watching him coldly, whispered. Catalina quickly nodded.

Catalina, who had a good night vision like a dark elf, also saw the King of Fury standing on the balcony. However, since the King of Fury took off the ghost mask and Catalina saw her only momentarily, she just thought the woman was a pure beauty rather than the King of Fury. Kaiwan frowned when Catalina whispered about what she had seen. It was because she didn’t like Catalina’s description of the king as a fresh beauty with dark blue hair.

Kaiwan again said to Catalina, “Let me try to be seductive and enchanting to him, so you should try to be innocent and pure. Got it?”

Hearing their conversation, Salami would have shaken its head, asking them what the sh*t they were talking about, but it was Catalina who listened to her seriously.

Opening her eyes wide again, Catalina whispered something again.

Kaiwan snorted at it by saying, “What? You’re far from sexy. Dang it! You must be a mixed succubus.”

Catalina, whose eyes grew blurry for a moment, grinned, flapping her ears and tail.

Kaiwan said again, “Anyway, the point is you shouldn’t make him attracted to another woman, Got it?”

Catalina nodded fervently. Then she looked at Yong-ho sharply like Kaiwan did.

<hr />

The sky of the demon world was black. However, even that darkness could not completely cover the posture of the giants positioned under the pouring starlight.

Dragons, perfect beings as one.

Dragons were positioned there as a group. As a legion of dragons, they watched the land of the King of Gluttony.

The King of Violence was not with his dragon army. He was stuck deep in the Dragon Rare area, west of the demon world, as usual.

But he stayed alert. Armed with the Godly Energy of the King of Greed, he saw the fragments of his imperfect memories. So, he roughly figured out what had happened to Mammon, the King of Greed, a long time ago.

Unknown stories. Concealed facts.

It was a thing of the past. Maybe it was just no more than an amusing thing of the past that had nothing to do with the present and the future, something that he should forget as a legend.

The King of Violence did not open his eyes. However, his alert consciousness had him raise his head and look to the south.

He felt it instinctively. Godly Energy, with which the King of Greed once dominated the battlefield, told him something.

The sin that had not appeared for over a thousand years. The seventh king who disappeared.

His greed has returned. He was now in the southern area.
