Chapter 220: War for Korin, their Son-in-Law (2)

Although the justification was valid, the king knew how it was all just an excuse for his daughter to pay back the price of the blood shed by the late queen.

The king of the El Rath kingdom, David Joseph El Rath, visited the palace of the 2nd Princess.

Ever since the incident with Mound, the king had frequently come to visit Miruam, as it had given him a chance to look back at his daughter.

The princess of the kingdom had almost been assassinated by a group of unidentified beastmen and naturally, the royal court had to avenge it.

“Next year, we will hold the execution of that werewolf.”

He knew the vengefulness of his daughter, and also knew the sorrow she must have gone through, despite having turned away from it for national interest.

“Is that so?”

King David mentioned the werewolf, who shouldered all the responsibilities to head to the scaffold all by himself. armor He wanted to know if his daughter was sincerely satisfied by this result or not.

“About what?”

“Are you content?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 220: War for Korin, their Son-in-Law (2) by Indra Translations.

Miruam understood more than clearly how he was referring to both her revenge and her deep-rooted hatred.

“Are you going to stop now?”

The king said to his daughter, whom he had neglected for a long time.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 220: War for Korin, their Son-in-Law (2) by Indra Translations.

“…”

“Even now, my anger is still here,” she replied.

“But… I noticed that someone completely different would become sad with my revenge.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 220: War for Korin, their Son-in-Law (2) by Indra Translations.

King David knew who she was referring to.

The justification behind the attack on Mound was so valid that the king couldn’t do anything about it, but there was a hero who stood his ground to stop them.

“Right. adjust I see.”

He knew how that man had utilized everything in his arsenal to stop his daughter and therefore, he was greatly surprised by the fact that the feeling Miruam had for him wasn’t that of hatred.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 220: War for Korin, their Son-in-Law (2) by Indra Translations.

The king thought how he himself had no right to soothe his daughter. abstract The moment he gave up on revenge for the late queen and chose to keep the Old Faith at bay; the moment he neglected his vengeful daughter to prioritize national interest and many other lives… he knew that he had failed her as a father.

“What do you think of him?”

“By the way,” the king said out of the blue. armor “There are a lot of girls that are after him.”

“No. timber It’s nothing.”

“What do you…”

“What’s… with that smile?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 220: War for Korin, their Son-in-Law (2) by Indra Translations.

“Estelle declared she would marry him.”

“…”

Miruam was taken aback by the king who suddenly had his lips pointing up in front of her, due to how rare of a sight it was.

“It’s hard to stop her because it seems to be a revelation from the lord. legend But… as bad of a father I am, I will look for a way.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 220: War for Korin, their Son-in-Law (2) by Indra Translations.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 220: War for Korin, their Son-in-Law (2) by Indra Translations.

“In regards to this matter at hand, I will give you my full support no matter what happens.”

“…”

King David was willing to do whatever it meant, as the smallest remedy he could, as a failure of a father.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 220: War for Korin, their Son-in-Law (2) by Indra Translations.

Unlike King David and Sword Emperor Garrand, Duke Marde didn’t have a positive reception of Korin Lork.

****

Of course, he did feel a deep sense of gratitude. adopt He did consider him as a lifelong benefactor for saving his daughter, but that was a different issue altogether.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 220: War for Korin, their Son-in-Law (2) by Indra Translations.

Being a benefactor was very different from being a son-in-law.

‘Whose daughter do you think she is? aluminum Mari will be with her father all her life!’

For Duke Marde, who deeply loved his wife and children, Marie was still a cute daughter whom he was unwilling to send off.

Although he had been chased out of the house due to the pestering duchess, the duke’s initial plan was to just give minimal effort before going back south.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 220: War for Korin, their Son-in-Law (2) by Indra Translations.

“Ohh! airport My beloved daughter! timber What is the matter?”

A Hresvelgr, instilled with the emblem of the household, approached from the sky towards the duke’s group. adjust It was Marie’s personal monster carrier.

“Dad!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 220: War for Korin, their Son-in-Law (2) by Indra Translations.

“D, dad… I, I saw the newspaper…”

Marie had recently become the president of the Southern Guardian Association. atomic There were so many things she must be in charge of, so why did she come here?

The duke wondered, in the midst of their preparation to depart for the capital.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 220: War for Korin, their Son-in-Law (2) by Indra Translations.

What was so good about that damn playboy? advance If this was in the past, a man involved in such a scandalous rumor would have immediately fallen out of the list of the Dunareff’s son-in-law list.

He was greatly distressed by the anxiety on her face.

“Dad. arena I’m, trusting you…”

“Kuhum…”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 220: War for Korin, their Son-in-Law (2) by Indra Translations.

Marie suddenly wrapped her hands around his, which she did not do as of late for being harsh to Korin.

What was so good about that boy – that damn playboy – that his daughter had to go through such agony? alert He felt more and more hatred for Korin.

“Mari…”

“…”

“Promise me. auction That you won’t… let anyone take Korin away.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 220: War for Korin, their Son-in-Law (2) by Indra Translations.

Honestly, he wanted to just let someone take him away, but he knew how selfish it was for him to do so.

Only he could separate him from his daughter.

His daughter’s first love being crushed by an external force… was unacceptable. atomic It was impossible for the Dunareff to have theirs taken away.

“M, Marie…!”

The sovereign of the south, Dunareff, was a force to be reckoned with even within the world of central politics.

Only he and his potatoes knew how big of a trouble he was willing to bring to everyone involved.

****

Commonly referred to as the lifeline of the kingdom, they possessed a wide range of farmland, as well as abundant mines and a trade route to the east that allowed them to accumulate a large amount of wealth.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 220: War for Korin, their Son-in-Law (2) by Indra Translations.

They were powerhouses within the central politics who were either from the south themselves, or reached their position thanks to the sponsor of the south.

Using that wealth, the south put up politicians that could represent their voice in the capital.

Despite being a large faction within politics, the southern faction tended to voice out different opinions and carry out their own actions most of the time.

The so-called Voices of the South were one of such examples.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 220: War for Korin, their Son-in-Law (2) by Indra Translations.

Tax related to foreign goods and products.

For bills and legislations around the production and distribution of grains.

At an extravagantly luxurious hotel in the CBD of the capital city, bigshots were walking into a secret suite room of the 5-star Dunareff Hotel one by one.

The ‘Voices of the South’ took whatever stance they wanted unless it was around a specific topic that correlated to the main business model of the south, including maritime and agriculture. acoustic Usually they did whatever they wanted, but regardless of the faction they were in, they always stood on the side of the south if such matters were to be addressed.

When everyone arrived at the room, Wolpe Schacht, Secretary of Legislations, slowly opened his mouth.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 220: War for Korin, their Son-in-Law (2) by Indra Translations.

Only after he said that as the oldest politician and the family head of a collateral family line of the Dunareff, did everyone finally sit down.

Deputy Minister of Administration, Gorgol, was deeply moved by the fact that he was able to join this meeting.

Although he had been on the elite course and eventually wanted to become the Minister of Administration, that was an impossible position to reach just by being competent.

“Everyone. admire Take your seats.”

Secretary of Legislation, Wolpe Schacht.

And yet where was he standing now? wizard Who were these people that were with him?

The fact that he was able to join this club simply by passing the bill for demi-humans to be acknowledged as citizens… was a great fortune that Gorgol was sincerely grateful for.

Everyone was in the middle of having small-talk with the people nearby and remembering faces when someone quietly walked up and whispered in the ears of Secretary Wolpe Schacht.

They weren’t the only ones present. acquire All the bigshots of each department were gathered in this suite room. antenna Although his position was by no means a low one as the deputy minister, he was the lowest of the lowest in this room.

He was the very man; the protector of 25 cities who possessed 7.6 million hectares of farmland, 47 mines and 67 ranches.

“Let me be frank. galaxy My wife wants him. arrow So does my daughter and my vassals.”

“I see…”

The duke slowly gave a nod.

His name value had recently seen a massive increase, but even before then, there was no-one within the world of politics who didn’t know how he was the official son-in-law of the Dunareff.

It was a famous secret that the oldest daughter and future duchess, Marie Dunareff, had feelings for him.

Had he been a normal man, people might have secretly talked down on him for being a male Cinderella, but Korin Lork was certainly far from being a normal person.

Korin Lork.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 220: War for Korin, their Son-in-Law (2) by Indra Translations.

Unique Grade Knight.

Of course, Marie Dunareff and Hua Ran had also recently been acknowledged as Unique Grade, but Korin Lork had displayed incredible achievements that put him far above the rest.

“Sir Korin would certainly be a fitting consort to Lady Marie.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 220: War for Korin, their Son-in-Law (2) by Indra Translations.

Duke Marde frowned hearing all the positive words facing Korin Lork, but there was nothing he could do about it.

“I had a drink with that man once. atomic He was an incredibly diligent and honest young man.”

“He has a great reception and evaluation even inside the Academy. arcade I suppose his only downside anyone would ever find, is that he’s too good of a person.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 220: War for Korin, their Son-in-Law (2) by Indra Translations.

His wife and his daughter wanted him so badly, that he had no choice. arcade Although the duke didn’t want to send his daughter off to marriage at all, he could not deny the fact that Korin was, objectively speaking, a great son-in-law material.

“Anyway…” He continued. sphere “Both the royal family and the Ardens suggested marriage – is that correct?”

“That sounds like an overstatement…”

But of course, acknowledging that as the father was… rather damaging to his pride.

“Even though it was an established fact that Sir Korin was Lady Marie’s consort already!”

“Yes. altitude The capital is in an uproar because of that.”

“This is unacceptable! Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors. alien How can the royal family stab the Dunareff on the back like this?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 220: War for Korin, their Son-in-Law (2) by Indra Translations.

“Tell me all the options.”

He too had to try his best to stop Korin Lork from being sent to the royal family.

“…”

Duke Marde wanted to say something in rebuttal to all the oddly positive reception facing that playboy, but couldn’t due to the request of his daughter.

“There is a merchant group run directly by the royal court. acquire They generally focus on exporting and importing luxury goods to and from the east. armor How about we pressure that group?”

“We can restrict the number of warhorses that can be on the market from the east. canvas They are one of the few regional products for the Ardens, so it would have a big economical impact on them.”

Everyone around the round table started giving their opinions.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 220: War for Korin, their Son-in-Law (2) by Indra Translations.

Several options were suggested, and as expected, they all required a large number of gold coins. attic Some of their plans required millions of gold coins to enforce.

“How about we chase out a part of the Arden dojos that are located in the south?”

“Too small.”

Of course, putting a restriction on the market would have a negative impact on them, the Dunareff Dukedom, as well, because stopping the transaction would mean they would have to give up on the profit generated from the margin.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 220: War for Korin, their Son-in-Law (2) by Indra Translations.

How could these be ‘small’?

“Sorry?”

His disapproving tone of voice earned the curious gazes of those around him. canvas Any one of the options suggested just then were enough to greatly impact both the east and the royal family.

Even they themselves were shivering from the economical impact this would create, and those options wouldn’t have been even considered if not for the enormous financial power of the Dunareff.
