Chapter 184 - The Valkyrie’s Ruins 3 (2/2)
”I understand. I swear.”
Woohyuk nodded happily.
Brynhild sighed and approached Roan's back.
She then activated her administrator rights and began to combine a series of runes on the back,
Whooosh!
A blue flame swirled around Roan, but soon extinguished itself.
Immediately, light returned in Roan’s dull eyes.
As soon as he woke up, he began to cause a ruckus and shout loudly.
”Alcohol! Bring me something to drink! I want to get drunk so bad!”
As Brynhild had mentioned, he was quite the troublemaker.
Woohyuk took out Akunaton's Golden Chalice and created the finest wine with it.
“Here, drink up.”
Gulp! Gulp!
Roan’s eyes flashed red and he emptied the golden cup in no time.
But even so, his voice didn't die down at all.
“Now, bring me meat and women! I want to have some fun!”
Thwack!
Woohyuk's fist flew into Roan's face.
The speed was so fast that Roan couldn't avoid it.
He rolled on the ground as the floor shook.
“… Ow! Why the hell did you punch me!”
“You talk too much for an artificial being.”
Woohyuk's chilling gaze fell upon Roan.
The Homunculus was frightened when he noticed it.
'He, he’s terrifying...!’
An unexplainable fear grew inside his fake heart.
As Roan quieted down, Helena spoke anxiously.
“But is it fine to hit him like that? If he self-destructs or something, then...”
”Don’t worry. The seal has not been completely removed yet. The Roan right now is no different from ordinary children.”
Roan was in a similar state as Agnes when Woohyuk had first met her.
He was in a state where he only had the minimal amount of freedom.
He could talk and move around, but attacks were unavailable.
So Roan couldn't fight back against Woohyuk carelessly, despite the fact that he was extremely upset right now.
“Why did you activate me again…? I don't want to live while being used like a tool...”
“Is that why you rebelled against the gods who created you?”
“All the gods can just die! The same goes for this world! Wherever I look, everything is absurd and full of contradictions! The entire world is hypocritical!”
Roan's words were quite rough, not matching his cute appearance.
Woohyuk sighed and picked up Akunaton's Golden Chalice from the floor.
“Just drink quietly instead of complaining like that.”
“...”
Roan silently accepted the refilled cup.
Not only did he want to drink the finest wine again, he also didn’t want to get punched by Woohyuk again.
Helena clicked her tongue as she watched Roan empty the chalice.
“What a twisted child. I’m not sure why, but I pity him a bit.”
“You’re not one to talk, Witch of Profanity.”
“… Do you have a grudge against me or something?”
”I won’t deny it.”
“...”
Helena glared at Woohyuk silently.
She was thinking back to when Woohyuk was bullying her on Grane, the pegasus.
But Woohyuk turned away and acted ignorant.
Finally, Sieg spoke up after having stayed quiet all this time.
“My Lord, who will Roan's guardian be? In my opinion, Tinia will be able to educate this troublemaker properly.”
”I’m not sure. It's not a bad idea, but I think Aris is a better choice.”
Aris was well versed in magic engineering, so she could control Roan with more ease than others.
Sieg made a sad expression at Woohyuk’s explanation.
“A pity. It was a great opportunity for Tinia to obtain My Lord’s child.”
“… This kid is not my son.”
Unlike Lia and Carnelian, Roan would be a considerable headache.
As Woohyuk spoke firmly, Roan complained with a gloomy expression.
“Don't discriminate against me for being a Homunculus! I also want to grow older while receiving lots of love!”
“Then do something worthy of praise, you spoiled brat.”
Woohyuk swiftly took out a leather whip.
As soon as he saw it, Roan retreated backwards as cold sweat ran down his neck.
“What, what are you doing?! I’m not some sort of pet to tame!”
“No, I think you need to be trained a little bit.”
Woohyuk's deadly whipping could tame not only monsters like the Kraken but also Demon Kings with pride and power like Amii.
Brynhild whispered into Helena's ears as whip cracking sounds resounded in the hall along with some cries of pain.
“Is that a fetish of his? His whipping skills are extremely good...”
”I don’t know. We’ve never slept together before.”
But for some reason, she felt like Brynhild’s assumption wasn’t wrong.
Sieg coughed as the two women got enchanted by Woohyuk's whipping abilities.
“Hey, um… Brynhild. Do you want to… uh… try something similar tonight...?”
Thwack!
A fist filled with divine power came flying straight into his stomach instead of a reply.
Sieg coughed and laughed bitterly as he writhed on the ground with a pained expression.
