Chapters Chapter 57. Magic Engineered Satellite (1/2)
Lee Chae-rin was conflicted.
What would happen if she kissed the sleeping Kang Chul-in right now?
Would he dislike it?
Or would he like it?
What feeling would it be, kissing with a man?
Due to all of this imagination and curiosity, her mind state was already half-crazy by now.
That was how much charm Kang Chul-in had towards her.
It was as if she had been infected by the ‘bad boy syndrome’, where she wanted to be loved by a man who didn’t show interest or attraction towards her, but didn’t care at all.
It wasn’t normal.
Nowadays, what kind of woman would try to take the lips of a sleeping man? Maybe Lee Chae-rin’s eccentric behavior right now was because of all of the stress stacked up between the past few days.
“... Mr. Chul-in… Whatever. I don’t care anymore. I’ll just do it.”
But the temptation was too great.
Lee Chae-rin leaned her face towards Kang Chul-in like she didn’t care anymore, moving towards Kang Chul-s in’s lips.
And she closed her eyes.
No, she tried to.
If Kang Chul-in didn’t open his eyes abruptly and look at her.
“Uhk…”
The two people stared at each other, their faces so close that their noses almost touched.
“Uhh… Can I ask what you’re doing right now?”
Kang Chul-in’s face turned cold.
“M-Mr. Chul-in.. That…”
“Stay back.”
“I-I’m sorry.”
Lee Chae-rin apologized and hurriedly stepped back. Because of this, her attempting in stealing his lips ended in a failure.
“Lee Chae-rin.”
Kang Chul-in asked her with an uncomfortable expression.
“Yes?”
“What did you try to do to me just now?”
“U-uhh...I… I was trying to… get something off your face, because something was on it!”
“Is that so?”
“O-Of course!”
“Well, your intentions were good, but don’t do something like that ever again.”
“W-Why?”
“Or you’ll get hurt.”
Kang Chul-in’s face again turned cold.
Lee Chae-rin didn’t know, but she was lucky that a knife didn’t go flying at her right now. Battle maniacs like Kang Chul-in hated people going near them while they were vulnerable, after all.
“To think that I would show weakness at this kind of time… I would have truly died if that was an assassin there.”
“Mr. Chul-in….”
“What, is there a problem?”
“You really…”
“.....?”
“Huu… Never mind.”
Lee Chae-rin looked as if she was going to say something, but stopped mid-way, and sighed.
“The execution is also over.”
“Hmm, so it seems like you’ve overcome it then.”
“Yes, I just followed what you told me to do.”
“Well, let’s rest for the rest today, and talk again tomorrow. I think you need a day at least to take in what just happened after all. Oh, and…”
“Yes?”
“Don’t lean too heavily on alcohol because you’re tired and feeling down.”
“Alcohol?”
“It’s like advertising that you drank alcohol, especially what that red face of yours. Although you don’t smell of alcohol, it is a negative in itself that a Lord seems drunk.”
“Stop.” Lee Chae-rin stopped his words midway.
“I’m leaving.”
“.......?”
“You shouldn’t sleep in a place like this, Mr. Chul-in. Now, goodbye.” And as she said bye to him, she dissappeared from the room as if she was never there.
“I guess it could be very tiring.”
Looking at her, Kang Chul-in thought that the work could be too stressful for the current her to handle, making her angry right now.
The next day, the higher ranked members of the Dorado-Laputa allies discussed about how to approach the war.
“First of all, our problem is our lack of information.” Kang Chul-in spoke.
“How much they have, what they are doing, how their army is formatted. Do we have answers to any of these questions?”
No-one raised their hand.
‘As expected.’
It was hard for them to even send out a scout, so obviously they had no information about their opponents.
“Mr. Chul-in.” Lee Chae-rin spoke.
“Should we try using some scouting hawks? I think that we should send about five into their territory…”
“No.” He shook his head.
“The range is too short. Our operations will cover around 80 km. What will we do with a unit that has a maximum range of 20?”
“Hmm… Then shall we send soldiers?”
“No, that’s pointless too. By sending them, it would just be just killing them off.”
“Oh, I forgot to ask. What is the special ability of this territory?”
“Oh, that.... Pft.” Lee Chae-rin laughed like she hadn’t for a long time.
“Ehem, ehem.”
“The thing is, the special ability of Dorado is linked to me.”
“With you?”
“Uhh… So…”
“....?” “The special ability of this territory is called ‘embarrassed moon’.”
“I have no idea what you’re saying though…”
“Uhh… Well, it’s hard for me to explain… Urad, will you tell him for me?” Lee Chae-rin asked help from Urad.
“Yes, milord.”
“...I will take your orders.”
Although looked awkward, he still didn’t disobey Lee Chae-rin’s orders.
“Hmm… milord Kang Chul-in?”
“Speak.”
“The thing is… our Dorado territory gets a special buff twice a year.”
“And when is this?”
“When it’s a full moon.”
‘As expected of the name, embarrassed moon.’
“And the effects?”
“Ehem… well…”
“Just say it quickly. The meeting is more important.”
“Oh, well. I’ll just speak. When the effect is on… it’s 100 percent.”
“Don’t avoid it.”
“When a man and a woman makes love at a full moon… the male becomes a father, and the female a mother.”
At that moment, Kang Chul-in’s countenance stiffened.
‘God dammit, I shouldn’t have asked.’
But it was at that moment.
