Chapter 51: Absolute Darkness (4)

Chapter 51: Absolute Darkness (4)

Eh Ah Eh?

The Absolute Ruler of Darkness felt her head go blank.

For a moment, she couldnt comprehend what she had heard.

No, she did comprehend.

She just didnt want to accept it.

She didnt want to admit that she had heard such words.

Ah

Her heart, which felt like it was about to burst, stopped.

She couldnt breathe.

At the same time, countless thoughts began to race through her mind.

What should I do? What did he say? He sold the item? The Execution Sword? He did? My item? Why? No, why was the Execution Sword there in the first place? Wasnt I the one who destroyed it? What exactly is happening-

Rins mind was so cluttered with thoughts that she couldnt even recognize herself.

However, those thoughts were.

I thought you just threw it away, so I sold it.

Shattered in an instant by his following words.

No, no! I never threw away the gift! Why would I throw away a gift you gave me!? Thats impossible, I- I have all your gifts-!

Swoosh!

From the darkness surrounding Rin, gifts started to emerge.

Starting with swords, numerous weapons clanged as they spilled onto the floor, soon filling the office.

Look, look at this, I havent thrown away any of your gifts, I have kept them all! Even the Execution Sword, yes! It seems I was mistaken! Thats how it is-!

Thus, Rin, laying out the gifts scattered like scrap, began to speak.

Im, Im sorry, I was simply mistaken Th-the reason I came here today was to, to seek, seek your forgiveness-!

Now, she couldnt even fully comprehend what she was saying herself.

She was just randomly spitting out the words remaining in her mind.

However.

Hmm? Why forgiveness?

Unlike Rin, who was completely panicked, Kim Hyunwoo spoke to her with an utterly calm expression.

Uh why do you have to ask for my forgiveness?

Eh?

At Kim Hyunwoos words, which seemed genuinely questioning, Rin unknowingly opened her mouth wide but soon gathered her wits and replied.

That-that means, even though I knew you had come, I didnt come to the territory quickly. And-

Uh isnt that obvious? You werent called in the first place.

Huh?

Since I didnt call you, its only natural that you didnt come. You dont need to feel sorry at all; I was the one who didnt call you.

Kim Hyunwoo, as if to assure her it was really okay, even raised his hand while speaking.

In fact, from his perspective, seeing Rin suddenly panic and ramble, he opened his mouth to calm her down, realizing that the conversation wasnt proceeding properly.

However, for Rin, such consideration from Kim Hyunwoo seemed entirely different due to her panic and skewed thought that she was already disliked by him, as if he was mocking her for not coming.

Ah- uh, no its my fault, my fault for not coming-

The Absolute Ruler of Darkness tried to deny that fact forcefully.

So, its okay because I didnt call you, alright?

Kim Hyunwoo stopped her words, and then, as if he remembered something, exclaimed,n0ve(l)bi(n.)co/m

Ah!

and started looking in the air for something.

After searching for a while, Kim Hyunwoo manipulated something.

Flutter-!

Soon, a fluttering piece of paper fell in front of him.

Thud!

The paper that fell to the ground.

Kim Hyunwoo picked up the paper from the ground and then held it out to the Absolute Ruler of Darkness.

Here.

What, what is this?

The Absolute Ruler of Darkness asked with a trembling voice.

Seeing her like that, Kim Hyunwoo made an awkward face and then,

Thinking about it, I remembered you hated that title.

Huh?

If you have this, you can change your title. And like I said, you dont really need to be sorry-

Though the gift was somewhat unexpected, from Kim Hyunwoos perspective, it was a gift he intended to give anyway, and by giving it, he meant to convey I really have no hard feelings?

....

[You may become archenemies with the Norba Kingdom!]

[Great Hero Sword God Arwen will harbor malice towards your territory!]

[Great Hero Snow Ghost Ram will harbor malice towards your territory!]

[Great Mage Laran will harbor malice towards your territory!]

[Earthquake King Calam will harbor malice towards your territory!]

[Warning: Recruiting the hero 'Absolute Ruler of Darkness' will disadvantage your territory's population influx once the hero's truth is revealed]

[If the territory's development level is high, the recruited hero's infamy can be nullified]

[Infamy of 'Absolute Ruler of Darkness': 1618]

[Development level of Lartania territory: 332]

[Current territory influx rate: 15%]

[New territory influx rate: -1510%]

Ugh.

Kim Hyunwoo involuntarily let out such a sound.

Because what he was currently seeing was a relationship chart far worse than the initial one with Merilda.

Its worse than with Merilda. And the relationship with the territories in Norba Kingdom is especially bad?

In truth, while the relationship chart was tit for tat, in the case of the Absolute Ruler of Darkness, the relationships with the great heroes were severely worsened.

If they are great heroes, they would be 5-star heroes in the game settings.

Kim Hyunwoo looked at the relationship chart that appeared before him with a dizzy expression and thought without hesitation.

This is a bit, you know

Accepting Rin now, just as his territory was starting to truly take off, would surely wreck it completely.

Accepting her would smash the newly rising territory influx rate and scatter the mercenaries as well.

Not only that? With this level, it wouldnt be surprising if other territories or kingdoms declared war at any moment.

That seems a bit difficult.

Kim Hyunwoo said so, and

Rin,

Ah.

looked as if the world was collapsing, her expression filled with despair.
