29 – Leonhard’s Nation – 6

“Nice to meet you, Princess Irina.”

“Nice to meet you, King of the Beasts.”

Early in the morning, Irina and the imperial envoys had an audience with the Beast King.

“I’m sorry. I couldn’t confirm the message for some reason.”

“It’s okay.”

Irina is very angry with the Beast King for making her wait for two days, but he is one of the top 4 on the continent and the king of a country. It was not a position where Irina could treat carelessly. That’s why Irina instantly changed her expression brightly and responded politely to the Beast King.

“So…There must be only one reason why the Imperial delegation visited the Suin-guk directly?”

“You noticed that, too.”

King Suin was infinitely close to an idiot when it came to matters related to his family, but it wouldn’t be strange to be called a wise king when it came to matters related to the state. In fact, the beast king knew all about the reason why the imperial delegation had suddenly visited the beast country.

“Currently, a message has been sent to the Kingdom of Ruthenia. Since I sent a gift without regret, the Kingdom of Ruthenia will also quietly withdraw.”

“Heh heh…You’ve lost a lot of light to the empire.”

“Isn’t the empire the protector of the continent? It’s a natural thing to do.”

The Beast King frowned a little at Irina’s statement that the empire was the protector of the continent, but smiled gently again and asked Irina.

“So, what does Princess Irina want from the Nation of Beasts?”

The King of Beasts got rid of the annoying rude manners and asked Irina straight-forward. Even if the empire refers to itself as the protector of the continent, it is a nation that seeks benefits, and it will definitely receive as much help as it has provided.

“Let’s talk about that after work.”

With a smirk, Irina offended the king of beasts. The ‘work’ that Irina mentioned must be subduing the demon army that has built a base on the coast.

King Suin had a headache. That woman is definitely going to take more for the sake of helping the war. I want to expel it right now, but the empire is the strongest country with a stronger military power than the Suin country, so you can’t treat it carelessly.

“hahahaha, then let’s prepare accommodation for my delegation.”

“Thank you for your consideration.”

“Then let’s go out now.”

The Beast King ordered Irina to celebrate as if it were annoying. But she, Irina, did not leave her throne room and knelt down on her knees, asking the Beast King.

“Can I ask you a favor?”

“What is it?”

“I want to see the ‘pets’ of Suin-guk.”

The Beast King was momentarily unable to understand the meaning of Irina’s words. Pets? Did anyone keep pets in the royal castle?

“I didn’t explain enough. Earthlings.”

“…Are they ‘pets’?”

“That’s right. There will be earthlings who will fly from ‘pets’ to escort knights later, but not now.”

The Beast King was really dumbfounded. Even if he is a human from another world, he is a ‘pet’. Besides, as the king of beasts who saw the potential of people in this world through a man named Gaon, she couldn’t agree with Irina’s words.

“Haa… Earthlings must be training at the training ground by now. As long as they don’t get too involved, I’ll let them.”

“Thank you.”

King Suin looked at Irina, who had a satisfied expression on her face, and quietly warned her.

“Princess Irina, I will give you a warning.”

“…Warning?”

“Sometimes pets bite their owners.”

The Beast King reminded Irina of an earthling man with a smirk on his face. However, Irina snorted at her Beast King’s warning and left her throne room.

‘Bite? It sounds funny.’

Irina recalled the warning from the Beast King as she walked through the corridors of the Leonhard Castle. However, she, Irina, quickly dismissed the beast king’s words as her old man’s nonsense.

‘Earthlings are nothing but obedient hounds. If you bite the owner, you will only be slaughtered.’

“Princess, where are you going?”

“Go to the training ground.”

Irina fluttered the star-patterned Imperial Cloak and headed for the training ground of the Bureau of Guardians. Then she saw the people of this world who were sweating and training in the corner of the training ground.

“Feelings.”

Irina held out her ring to the people of the world who did not notice her and were absorbed in her training. After that, she quietly muttered that it was an emotion, and the ring glowed, and she informed Irina of the people of this world.

“Hmm…”

Irina was disappointed. It was because her pets were poor compared to her Beast King’s warning. At this level, she judged that her pet, Lee Seo-jun, Alex, or Lee Seo-yoon, was low.

“As expected, old man’s nonsense.”

“Are those Earthlings raised by the Beasts? That’s weak. Alex would be better than that.”

“I agree.”

Irina affirmed the escort knight’s words and left her training ground and walked through the corridors of the palace again. In fact, she wanted to check how she raised earthlings in the Suin country, but seeing the condition, she didn’t have to worry about it, she judged Irina.

“Gaon, let’s go. The maids are already preparing.”

“Okay, can you go slowly?”

Then, at the end of the corridor where Irina was walking, a man and a woman appeared.

The woman was a beast with short orange hair, and the man with black hair seemed to be a normal human being because he had no ears.

‘…There are humans?’

Irina knows the identity of that orange-haired beastman. It would be more accurate to say that she couldn’t know for sure. Her orange hair and flesh-colored lion ears were the hallmarks of the Leonhard family, so anyone in the delegation could tell that she was the princess of this kingdom.

However, Irina couldn’t figure out who the man the princess was dragging away by force with a bright smile was. Judging from her clothes, she seems to be a noble, but I wondered why there were human nobles in the kingdom of beasts, especially in Leonhard’s kingdom.

“What is it? Who is it?”

“Huh? That pattern…”

The princess with her orange hair looked at Irina’s cloak and seemed to have guessed her true identity. Of course. There will be no one on this continent who doesn’t know the emblem of the Empire. However, the man did not seem to notice the identity of her Irina at all.

‘You can’t see this pattern? You are an ignorant man.’

Thinking that the cloak she wore was the cloak of the imperial family, and that it was absurd that even the most stupid man of hers did not know the pattern of her imperial family, Irina gave the man the lowest rating in her head. Hung up

“Meet the Imperial Delegation.”

“Huh? A delegation?”

The orange-haired woman showed an elegant attitude befitting a princess of a country and bowed her head to Irina. But her man still held her stiffly upright and looked at Irina with equal eyes. Irina didn’t like that very much.

“Nice to meet you. Princess, are you the second princess?”

“Yes, I am. The second princess, Ellie van Leonhardt.”

“I am Irina Hyperion, the Third Star of the Empire and the First Princess.”

Irina smiled and accepted her greetings from Ellie, who showed her courtesy, hiding as much as possible her anger towards her man. Then Ellie smiled lightly and bowed her head lightly to Irina.

“What is it, Ellie, you’ve been a princess for a long time. She really doesn’t suit you, but you can feel her dignity.”

“Gaon…! Don’t make fun of me…”

A man named Gaon, for some reason, did not hesitate to use short language to a princess of a country and even lightly insult him. Irina was a bit taken aback by such a sight, but she tried to hide her embarrassment from her expression and turned her gaze to Gaon and asked with a smile.

“Who is the man…?”

“Me? A state guest here.”

Ppajik

First of all, Irina felt annoyed. How dare that man do such a disrespectful thing in front of anyone? However, she herself is the orphaned princess Irina Hyperion, and she asked Gaon again, managing her expression as much as possible.

“It wasn’t that, it was a story to tell me what kind of person you are. For example, your job title…”

“I don’t have a title…, I’m just an unemployed person. Before that, I was a state guest here? A guest, a guest.”

Irina secondarily felt the urge to rage. I don’t like that guy very much. Judging from the energy she felt, she seemed to be just that kind of person, but she dared to talk like that to herself as a princess… I couldn’t forgive her.

“Yes, you bastard! How dare you make a foolish statement in front of someone!”

But she was quicker to anger Irina’s escort knight, Alpheon, than to anger Irina. Alpheon shouted as he aimed his sword at Gaon, who was making an annoyed expression.

“Get down on your knees right now and apologize to the princess! If you don’t, I will cut off your head!”

“Hmm…”

Originally, Irina, her immediate supervisor, had to stop Alpheon.

This is the capital of Leonhardt Kingdom, the empire would lose if the imperial delegation struck a sword strike.

But she didn’t bother to dissuade her, even though Irina knew that all too well. After all, that man was neither a member of the royal family nor a prisoner. Even though he is a state guest, he judged that it would not be a big problem as long as he did not get hurt.

“If you don’t like it?”

“Then I’m going to give you some discipline!”

Alpheon swung her sword at Gaon while receiving Irina’s coy eyes. Anyway, it wasn’t that Alpheon was trying to hurt him directly. It was simply swinging the sword to intimidate.

However, the result was very different from what Irina thought.

“Huh?!”

“What are you? Do you want to search?”

Irina was shocked. It was because Alpheon, her own escort knight, flew off and hit her wall as if something had hit her suddenly. Besides, she must have been under pressure. She was stuck in the wall and couldn’t get out.

Obviously looking at the situation, the person who threw Alpheon into the wall must be that man named Gaon.

But how?

Irina had never heard of such magic. Although she has gravity magic that strengthens gravity, there is no gravity magic in the world that she puts pressure on like that.

“Feelings.”

Irina used her emotions on Gaon, shining her ring on her own finger. Then, she saw Gaon’s status window in front of Irina’s eyes.

From noble mtl dot com

[LV 41 Park Gaon]

Stamina: ?/?

Mana: ?/?

Status: None

I don’t see health and mana. In other words, that man has emotions. (Irina has a higher level than Gaon.) But how can he subdue the escort knight Alpheon so easily while being an appraiser? Even at level 41.

At that moment, Irina found something unusual about Gaon’s name.

“Park…Gaon…?”

A name form with one last name and two first names. This form of name is not used by any country on the continent.

As far as Irina knows, there are only two people who use this type of name: Lee Seo-jun and Lee Seo-yoon.

In other words, Park Ga-on meant that he was from the same hometown as Lee Seo-yoon and Lee Seo-joon.

“Couldn’t it be… That he was from another world…?”

At the moment, Irina remembered the warning from the beastman king.

– Pets sometimes bite their owners.

Irina was dumbfounded.

‘Isn’t that already beyond the pet category?’

At the moment, Irina had a headache.
