“I’d like to hear more of the story”
He needed to knohat situation Lee Chae Rin was inOnly then, could he either decide to o soood”
“We could go to ood place to chat in private”
“Let’s go”
The two moved to the Hotel Koryo in Bucheon, where Lee Chae Rin was stayingRooftop wasn’t a suitable place to conduct a discussion between a monarch and a queen
Lee Chae Rin’s room was the presidential suiteShe was said to have a lot of money, and certainly, the room was fit for a queen ealth
“Would you like a drink?”
Perhaps, due to being emotionally tormented, as soon as Lee Chae Rin entered the room, she took a bottle of Hennessy PARDIS(Hennessey PARDIS, which is an upscale cognac from Hennessy IncIt is an expensive brandy that would cost 800,000 Won in retail)
“Not a fan of cognac”
After replying that way, Kang Chul-In called roole Malt, theChul-In preferred whiskey
“First, let me share the mini-mapIt will make our discussion easier”
“Can the mini-map be shared, too?”
“Of courseDid your assistant not infors that I don’t know…”
“Use this ti Chul-In turned on the [mini-map], which was the lower menu in the [ my territory, it marks the miniaturized terrain features of all the places that I have surveyedMy location is at the west end of the Pandeion of the frontier”
Kang Chul-In explained
“Your mini-map”
“Yes”
Lee Chae Rin turned on the mini-map
“Share mini-map”
“Share mini-map”
As both recited the command, their mini-maps overlapped with each other and the location infor also works…”
“Quiet”
Kang Chul-In cut off Lee Chae Rin’s exclai appreciation
“I’ll take a look”
While Lee Chae Rin took a sip of the cognac, Kang Chul-In’s eyes swiftly scanned the shared map
/p>
‘It’s close to meThe area is about 50kreen dot is Lee Chae Rin’s territoryTo both sides… red dots, they are other monarch’s territoriesIt’s unfavorably sandwiched in between, not good, but… there is no need for a territorial war yetWhy is that, why?’
Every conflict has a reason, there could be smoke from a chimney even if there wasn’t a fire, but there is no ithout reason
‘With Lee Chae Rin’s econoht, there was no reason for her to be in such a dire state ofan attackIt’shit by both monarchs from the two sides… How did both sides co, so Chul-In’s eyes
<hr>
“This”
“Yes?”
“Is it because of this asted in surpriseJust by scanning a simple mini-map once, he has accurately analyzed the situation that she was in, so she was obviously surprised by that
“Ho did you…”
However, Lee Chae Rin could not continueIt was because, right at that ti Chul-In moved away as the room service cae that a person has changed, but how can this…’
Fixing her eyes on the back of Kang Chul-In, Lee Chae Rin was filled with odd mixed emotions
That was only appropriate
If someone, who didn’t talk much, but very kind to others, has at one moment becoe
“As you were saying, do continue”
Kang Chul-In poured whiskey into the glass filled with ice
“Don’t drink”
“Ok”
Facing each other, the nac in their glasses
“My conclusion is this”
Quickly e the er to Lee Chae Rin’s territory, in the shared mini-map
“Next to the territory, this h I’m not sure what kind of mountain this is, but I’ ht”
“And these two bastards”
Kang Chul-In’s fingers touched the other two monarchs’ territories at the northwest and east of Lee Chae Rin’s region
/p>
“The two of the after your mine”
“Is that… all visible to you?”
Lee Chae Rin was in awe
Anyone could have siuessed that she was under the attack of the two allied monarchs, but a random person would not be able to pinpoint the reason behind it as accurately as was done
“Your response and s, it isn’t that hard to deh… it is a very difficult idea to me”
“It’s an obvious situation”
“…?”
“It is easy to have a discerning perspective, after having lived a tough life to just surviveYou’re just not used to it yet, not that you are foolish”
“I, I see…”
“Anyhow”
Kang Chul-In stopped at that point to take another sip of whiskey, before continuing
“My honest feeling is… that it is totally incomprehensible”
“…!”
“No matter what the two’s inclinations are and what their military combination was like, it is impossible, for a queen ealth, to concurrently face 2 wars at the sa that makes no sense at all…!”
“Why doesn’t itthem placed at the ene this difficultEven by si the battles to a war of attrition, the winner in the end will be you with your wealth, not those two bastards”
In the past, Kang Chul-In had a teeth gnashi+ng experience against Kuhlbaig Alliance’s great economic power and the enormous output of that economic powerHe knew the awesome power of wealth better than anyone else
“Then there can be two conclusions in the endFirst, the condition is not ripe for a war of attrition, or the enemy monarchs have so Chul-In fiercely stared at Lee Chae Rin
“The e warfare is being carried outIt is being carried out against a foe with a far superior position, thus reclai he mine is impossible, no matter however many … that far, Chul-In”
Lee Chae Rin acknowledged immediately
“If you have already lost theon protecting your palace, you can sustain for a whileWhy are you obsessed with the mine? Is the mine more important than your own life?”
“At this rate, your life is at their mercyEither lose your head, or lose the title of a queenThere is no doubt you’ll be ruinedLee Chae Rin, give up theChul-In spoke of the predetermined outcome
If he does not interfere, Lee Chae Rin’s life will pass as he has just predicted
Perhaps… The Lee Chae Rin, of previous life, did not give up that mineTherefore, she couldn’t have attended the first ive up at this junctureWith wealth, even without thata territory”
Kang Chul-In advised
“I… I too… want to do that”
Unexpectedly, a strange response came from Lee Chae Rin
