Chapter 574
Raon lay on the ground and looked up at the stars for a long time before getting up.
I consumed most of my stamina and aura by sharing swords with Glenn, but my head was strangely clearer than ever.
‘It feels good.’
The lump that was pressing down on his chest completely disappeared. It felt like I was back in the Rakion family before I met Rektar, so a smile was automatically drawn on me.
– Really?
Lars jumped up like a firecracker and thrust his face into it.
‘what?’
– Are you really in a good mood?
‘Yes, but why all of a sudden?’
-Then the king has something to say to you!
A deep light shone over the boy’s sea-blue eyes.
‘I have to say… .’
Raon gulped dry saliva as he looked into Lars’ sunken eyes. Her cotton candy suddenly took on a serious expression, making me a little nervous.
‘say it.”
– You bastard… .
Lars raised his round fist and wrinkled his brow.
-You haven’t kept your promise to buy ice cream for the king as soon as you arrive at the family!
‘… … .’
Raon’s red eyes cooled as if they had lost their heat.
‘Ugh… .’
-What are those eyes! Didn’t you promise!
‘I did. I did why are you saying that now? Even pretending to be serious. You insectivore!’
– Poetry, insectivore?
Lars licked his lips and raised his head.
– How dare you be an insectivore to the ruler of the demon realm! This means that the king only waited for that promise!
The boy screamed in anger.
‘You waited?’
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lars, whose face turned red and turned into strawberry-flavored cotton candy.
‘Did I endure it all this time?’
Come to think of it, Lars brought up the topic of ice cream only after asking if he was in a better mood.
‘Indeed, in the past, I would have been harassed to buy ice cream on the day we promised.’
Lars hasn’t taken out the ice cream since he met Rektar. It seemed that he was considerate of me when I was hurt.
‘Does Lars change too?’
Time and relationships change not only relationships with people. His relationship with Lars was also changing little by little.
“okay.”
Raon smiled and stood up. She nodded, brushing off the dust from her clothes.
“Let’s go right away tomorrow.”
-uh… ?
Lars turned into a rabbit’s eyes, surprised by those words.
‘Why are you surprised? You said let’s go.’
-Why does a tree frog-like guy just listen and eat?
‘Sometimes it has to be like this.’
– Now you come to your senses too! Well thought out! From now on, if you listen carefully, I will make you the king’s subordinate!
‘I don’t buy it.’
Raon shook his hand lightly and returned to the annex.
It was late, so I tried to enter quietly through the back door attached to the kitchen, but I felt someone’s presence in the dark.
“uh! Sir John!”
It was Encia who revealed her identity with one word. She nodded her head with the bread in her mouth. She seemed to come out hungry from doing research.
“When did you come? Sir John?”
He’s no longer a handsome Lion, he’s just a handsome man. The name itself has disappeared.
“It arrived today. It’s only been a few hours.”
“Aaaagh! I didn’t even know you had arrived because I was doing research! You idiot!”
Ensia stamped her forehead on the table in anger.
“How many hours did you miss the chance to see Raon! I must die!”
“Hey, stop it.”
Raon swallowed and grabbed Ensia’s shoulder. I feel it every time I meet her, but she was a really difficult person to handle.
“however… .”
Encia blinked while biting on the bread. Even though a line of blood was dripping from her forehead, she didn’t care and only looked at Raon.
“Raon-nim, did you dye your hair?”
“no.”
“It feels like my blonde hair is a little darker.”
She muttered that she was sure and pulled a thick booklet from her bosom. When I opened it, Raon’s photos were arranged by date.
“Ugh.”
Raon’s lips trembled as he looked at countless pictures of himself.
‘This is kind of scary… .’
I didn’t know that I would have taken that many pictures, so goosebumps ran down my spine.
-Well, that’s how you become like that madwoman! The buds of attachment are sprouting now!

Lars turned his head, saying that the seeds were about to germinate.
“Right! Her hair color got darker.”
Ensia held out a picture of her before leaving the mission, saying look.
“… is that so.”
To be honest, I just nodded my head because I didn’t know.
“What is going on? If you suddenly have darker blonde hair, does that mean you’re getting better? If you become more handsome here, you will transcend human beings?”
Ensia smiled hehehe, saying that she had rice cakes.
Raon licked his lips as he saw Encia, who had fallen into a world of her own.
‘I was going to tell you tomorrow, but it turned out better.’
He approached Encia and lowered his head.
“There is something I want to ask of you, Miss Ansia.”
“Just say the word!”
She didn’t even ask what the request was, she just shouted at me to talk.
“Do you know what this is?”
Raon took out the artificial arm artifact Cloud was wearing.
“Hmm… .”
Encia’s gaze fell from Raon for the first time.
“It is an artifact that can be used as a prosthetic arm. It’s not an ancient thing, it was made recently.”
“Recently?”
“yes. The way it was made or the materials are things these days. It seems to have been made by a fairly skilled artisan.”
She laughed, saying that the person who made the arm must be a famous person.
“Then could you make this artifact for someone else?”
“It is possible. But I don’t think it will be easy.”
Encia clicked her tongue without taking her eyes off the prosthetic arm.
“What do you mean it’s not easy?”
“It is difficult to write in this state. It’s a way that puts too much strain on the wearer, so I think the blueprints will have to be completely redone.”
She frowned, saying that from the beginning it made it unusable for a long time.
“On top of that, we need natural materials because we have to reach our arms. I think it will take some time to get the supply… .”
Contrary to the words that it is difficult to obtain materials, Encia’s eyes sparkled as if she was interested in this job.
“But who is going to write this?”
“This is Rimer.”
“yes?”
Ansia opened her eyes.
“Something happened on the job.”
“… okay.”
She nodded without asking further.
“I think we can decide after meeting Rimmer.”
“All right.”
“Then I’ll take this and see.”
As if all attention was focused on the prosthetic arm, Ensia went into her room without taking the bread she was eating.
‘It’s amazing.’
Normally, she is playful and only calls her with a strange word, but Ensia is more serious than anyone else when it comes to her work. She was a person with a lot to learn from.
Raon returned to his room after tidying up the messy kitchen.
smart smart
As I was preparing clothes to wash, I heard three knocks at the door.
“come in.”
The person who knocks three times is fixed, so he said to come in right away.
Judyel carefully opened the door and entered, bowing her head.
“Didn’t everything happen?”
“Until now, nothing special happened.”
“So you mean now?”
“yes. A little while ago, I got a call from Jungmujeon.”
“It must be about me.”
Raon smiled and nodded.
“That’s right. I just had one other request.”
Judyel briefly shook her head.
“Another request?”
“It was an instruction to report any information you learned about Hyunmujeon, even if it is trivial.”
“Hyunmujeon… .”
Raon lowered his head and narrowed his eyes.
“Hyeonmujeon is where Denier Sieghart is based.”
“you’re right.”
“Why are you asking me to investigate there all of a sudden?”
Karune left the audience room with a chilling look in her eyes. I couldn’t understand why he was suddenly gathering information about Hyunmujeon after showing his anger at me.
‘Denier Sieghartra… .’
Denier never got into trouble or made strange remarks. He didn’t take special care of me or Sylvia, but he didn’t look down on me like the others did.
Just looking at his eyes strangely reminded me of Derus Robert.
“Shall we find out what’s going on?”
“okay. just be careful But I don’t think we should approach this matter hastily.”
“All right. I will also moderate the report on Raon-nim.”
“thank you.”
“Then rest.”
Judyel lowered her head and stood up.
“wait for a sec.”
Raon stopped Judyel from going out through the door.
“What about your little brother?”
“… Not yet.”
Judyel shook her head with a calm look.
“Lord.”
She turned again and lowered her head.
“I think you can stop investigating my brother now.”
“what?”
“It might be too late given that we haven’t been able to find it yet despite borrowing the power of the black market.”
As if she had lost her emotions, Judiel continued with an expression not much different from when she was reporting.
“The amount has increased a lot, and things are going to get complicated, so giving up here… .”
“I’m serious?”
Raon frowned as he looked into Judiel’s sunken eyes.
“… … .”
Judyel only trembled without answering.
“To be honest, in the past, since you came under me, I thought I should find your brother. It was just a condition to accept you without any emotion whatsoever. but… .”
Raon smiled lightly as he watched Judiel’s eyelids begin to shake.
“Now I sincerely want you to meet your sister.”
It’s not a lie.
The value of the promise I made with Judiel has changed as I am realizing what a relationship is, including family, teachers, and friends. She wanted to find her brother no matter what she did now.
“You don’t give up first.”
Raon grabbed Judyel by the shoulder. He didn’t give strength, but he wanted to convey sincere warmth.
“yes… .”
Judyel shook her shoulders and lowered her head. For the first time since entering this room, it seemed like she was showing her feelings.
“thank you.”
Judiel bowed and left the room without raising her bowed head.
-You seem to be becoming a bit more human.
Lars nodded his head with an expression that looked like he was heartbroken but at the same time proud.
‘I’m a human from the beginning.’
-You were only human on the outside, but weren’t you more evil than the devil on the inside!
‘Well, he hasn’t been human in a while.’
As the guy said, at first, he couldn’t take off the shadow he had lived as an assassin.
However, as he met many people, the shadow of his previous life was fading.
‘It will change more in the future.’
-Will the original king tell you how you can change into a more humane person?
‘Is there such a thing?’
– There is nothing in the world that is not possible.
Lars smirked and raised his chin.
‘what is that?’
– It’s a promise!
‘promise?’
-That’s right. You can be seen as a real human being if you keep your promises. in other words! If you bring ice cream and offer it to the king right now… Cuckoo!
Raon kicked Lars and let out a sigh.
‘I’m really tired… .’
* * *
Raon leaned against the wall of the annex building and took a bite of mint chocolate ice cream.
– Big!
Lars let out an exclamation like melting cotton candy while clutching his chubby cheeks.
– This is happiness, this is living! The original king will start an ice cream shop as soon as he returns to the demon realm!
The guy clenched his fist, saying he would open 1,000 stores throughout the Pandemonium.
‘You know that… .’
Raon put down the box of ice cream he had eaten and turned his gaze to the right where Encia and Limer were.
“Hmm… .”
Encia moaned as if suffering from a cavity and looked at Limer.
I brought her because she said that in order to make a prosthetic arm, she had to look at the subject, but she only looked at Rimmer’s face, not his arm.
“It’s true that he’s handsome, but he’s a little ambiguous.”
“What, what?”
Rimer blinked with a confused face.
“Raon-nim has become more handsome, so even looking at the elf, I don’t really like it.”
Ensia said that her face had faded a little, and licked her lips briefly.
“What nonsense!”
Rimer couldn’t stand it and jumped up.
“Because I, the most handsome man of the Yuhua branch tribe, lacked something! no! I even heard the best handsome guy in Sepia!”
He shook his head, saying that there is no elf handsomer than himself.
“Raon-nim is number 1 on the continent, so even if the number 1 elf comes, you can’t.”
Ensia waved her finger, saying that they could not be placed on the same line.
“Also, long hair is not my taste.”
“Now, what a pity you don’t know the excitement of long hair!”
Rimer broke into a cold sweat and forced a smile.
“What is exhilaration? It looks like you didn’t cut it because you’re bothered.”
“Keep it off… .”
He touched his parted hair and licked his lips.
-What are they talking about?
‘I don’t know either.’
Raon shook his head. I brought Li Mer to examine his arm, and he suddenly doesn’t know why he’s making a look review.
In addition, I was embarrassed that my name came out in the middle.
“excuse me.”
Raon sighed and approached Encia and Limer.
“hey. Raon. he’s weird! It was weird at first, but it got even weirder!”
Rimer shook his head, saying that Encia seemed to have really gone crazy.
“Laon. Once you pass.”
“Once passed?”
“yes. His appearance was a bit ambiguous, but since he is acquainted with Raon-nim, I will do it.”
“hey!”
Rimer screamed and jumped up.
“What an ambiguous appearance! I’ve never heard anything like that in my entire life!”
“Because anyone becomes ambiguous in front of Raon-nim. Do not worry.”
“I hope this damn Raon… .”
“oh. Thanks for the compliments.”
“It’s not a compliment!”
The elf who boasted about his appearance, and the encia who evaluated the elf’s appearance as ambiguous, did not look normal.
“Hey, weren’t you trying to attach your arm right now? Why don’t you look at my shoulder… .”
“When you do something like this, inspiration is important. Rimer-sama’s face is just over the line… .”
“Stand, line… .”
Rimer slumped to the floor as if genuinely shocked.
“Is my face crossing the line?”
He trembled his hands with a look of despair as if he had confidence in his face.
“Didn’t you do it right away when you asked your mother?”
Raon asked as he approached Ensia, who was touching her prosthetic arm.
“The two of you are very respectable. There is nothing to ask!”
Ensia shook her head, saying that it was only right to stop doing what she was doing and listen.
“Um, I see. You mean it’s going to work anyway?”
The conversation seemed to fall into a labyrinth, so I quickly got to the point.
“yes! It’s ambiguous, but I saw Raon!”
Encia killed Rimer once again and nodded.
“Keugh… .”
Rimer was now completely lying on the floor. His complexion became as pale as white paper.
-It’s too bad! That stupid bitch should have seen the face of the king!
Lars frowned, saying he wanted to have a look contest.
-If it was the appearance of the original king, I would have been able to humiliate you like that!
‘I don’t know why that makes me angry… .’
Raon shook his head and approached Rimer.
“Are you okay?”
“This is the first time I’ve ever been humiliated… .”
Rimmer gripped the dirt and his shoulders trembled.
“I’ve never been pushed in the face before!”
He gritted his teeth as if in genuine resentment.
“Never mind that… .”
“uh! Stay there!”
When Raon was trying to comfort Rimer, Ensia held up the camera.
click!
She took a picture of Raon and Limer and smiled.
“Yeah. Because a respectable person stands next to a halfway person. You look better! Is this a contrast effect?”
Ensia handed one of the two photos that had fallen from the camera to Raon.
“Um… .”
Raon scratched his chin when he saw the picture of him and Rimer. Perhaps because she was so respectable, her rimer looked a little sagging.
“ah… .”
Rimer struggled to look up at the picture and stretched out like a jellyfish.
“I want to die. It hurts more than when my arm fell off. You will die there!”
He closed his eyes, saying he couldn’t resist.
“It’s hard to wipe my back because I don’t have a right arm, they say they don’t give me pension or severance pay, and now I’m even ugly… .”
“Dae, my lord. cheer up.”
Raon approached Rimer and rubbed his shoulder. Normally, I would have ignored it, but it looked serious, so I did it from above.
“Will you lend me some money? Or anything you want to eat, just say anything.”
As soon as those words were finished, Rimer’s left hand gripped Raon’s wrist tightly.
“Didn’t I just tell you to talk now?”
Rimer smiled and stood up.
“uh… ?”
“Then let’s go on a trip with me. Of course, you pay for the travel expenses.”
“yes? suddenly where… .”
I was astonished at him asking about the travel expenses here, but there was something I had to ask first.
“A holy place for elves left on the continent. Sepia.”
He shook his hand and grinned.
“There’s something you might like about it.”
