Chapters Chapter 222: Kang Chul-In’s Decision (pt. 2) (1/2)
“Huk... kuk...”
After getting hit in the stomach extremely hard, Kwak-Jung started to spasm, before fainting.
“Hmph, he really is...”
Staring at the fainted Kwak-Jung with a disgusted expression, Lucia started to drag him across the floor to take him away.
Soon, you will...
Kang Chul-In clenched his fists, while also gritting his teeth.
“...Father?”
Not understanding anything that had just occurred, Arshelly questioned Kang Chul-In.
“How does a baby...”
“W-Well...”
Kang Chul-In closed his eyes.
Dammit!
If it were any other child he would have explained it just like Kwak-Jung, but Arshelly was his lovely daughter.
D-Do I really need to tell her...
Even though it was an overused saying, there was an explanation in times like this. It was a saying that any South Korean would know.
“Daughter.”
“Yes, father?”
“Listen up.”
“Okay!”
“Huu...”
And after taking a deep breath, Kang Chul-In finally decided to speak ‘those words’.
“A baby.”
“Yeah!”
“Comes out... when two a.d.u.l.ts that love each other...”
“Yeah!”
“Hold hands... at night... together...”
“I-Is that so?!”
“...”
“How very interesting!”
“A-Anyway...”
While trembling inwardly at his own shamelessness, Kang Chul-In quickly changed the subject.
“Daughter, we’ll take a little later. I’m a little busy after just coming back.”
“Yes, father.”
Arshelly seemed extremely satisfied with the fact that she had her curiosities sated. Even though she was able to find out in the future that her father had just been lying to her.
“Pft...”
The Ninetails stared at Kang Chul-In, and laughed.
“You’re kind of cute.”
“I just didn’t want to break her innocence so early.”
“Even though husband’s intentions were quite obvious... I didn’t think that husband had that kind of side!”
At the Ninetails’s words, Kang Chul-In couldn’t say anything.
Even though he was like a merciless devil to his enemy, and an absolute powerhouse of an Overlord, he was an inexperienced father that loved his daughter.
“Well then, enough with the pointless talk.”
Embarrassed, Kang Chul-In spoke with a cold voice. It was obvious that he was trying to avoid talking about this topic.
“Anyway.”
Looking at the people staring at him, Kang Chul-In continued.
“I will have an official announcement once we are finished talking. Is that understood?”
“Yes, Milord!”
Kang Chul-In also shouted to the citizens that had come out for the parade.
“I will give an announcement about more specific things at a later date! Now is the time to be giving rewards to those that have fought and made great contributions in the war, after all.”
What he had said was right.
Even though the marriage of a Lord was important, he had to take care of other things first.
Who would want to sacrifice their lives for the territory and country if they were ignored, and weren’t rewarded?
“As expected, Milord is a benevolent ruler!”
“Long live Lord Kang Chul-In!!”
“Hooray!”
“Hooray!”
At Kang Chul-In’s words, the citizens cheered.
[The ‘Politics’ stat has been raised from C+ to B+!]
[The ‘Charm’ stat has been raised from A+ to S-!]
[The ‘Internal Affairs’ stat has been raised from E- to C+!]
And as that happened, a message showing that his stats had been increased showed up in front of him.
Good.
Kang Chul-In smiled, satisfied.
The message that had popped up in front of him was evidence that he as a Lord was growing.
In the past, the Kang Chul-In that only knew to fight was no longer there. He was becoming a complete Lord with abilities not only for battle, but also things like this.

“Alfred!”
After getting back into the castle, Kang Chul-In looked for Alfred immediately.
“What exactly has happened!”
“M-Milord!”
The old vampire butler that had been sucking on blood while resting immediately stood up as Kang Chul-In came in.
“Congratulations on the victory!”
“What congratulations, lie back down immediately!”
“How could I lie down when Milord is over here...”
“Shut up!”
“M-Milord...”
“What happened? In the report, it said that you looked as you looked when you were young.”
“W-Well...”
Alfred started to explain.
