Chapter 149: Kang Chul-In's Regrets

There was only one reason why Kang Chul-In thought that Sheville Polansky was the villain .

Sheville Polansky was a Lord with the nickname 'The Spellthirster,' due to his ability that negated all magic .

He was able to absorb the magic that the enemy casted, and make it so that it instead gave him body enhancements .

This meant that he was the bane of all mages and magicians, since he was able to counter them perfectly .

I'll rip you to shreds when I meet you .

Kang Chul-In gritted his teeth .

Kang Chul-In had no doubt in his mind that the one behind all of this was Sheville Polansky .

Just hearing Podolski's explanation was enough .

Arshelly Berlinetta Pon Aurangzeb was a ridiculously powerful S rank mage, esper, and warrior with an immeasurable potential .

And someone stopped Arshelly's magic completely?

Of course, Arshelly could just use her high-level swordplay, but she was just too young to use it properly .

First of all, she was lacking in height .

Since she wasn't very tall, her arms and legs were short, meaning that she was at an absolute disadvantage in a fight--- not to mention her light weight .

Even though she did have ridiculous potential, it was safe to say that she wouldn't be able to overcome her current physical disadvantages . That meant that Arshelly would have no choice but to deal with the enemies with her magic, but due to Sheville Polansky's ability, that wouldn't work .

Who dares… to hurt my daughter?

Looking at the territory of Sheville Polansky on the map, Kang Chul-In's terrifying aura swept the room .

At that moment .

Throb .

" . . . . . !"

At that moment, Kang Chul-In felt like someone was stabbing his heart with a knife, making him nearly grasp his chest in pain .

His heart… his heart throbbed intensely .

It felt like it hurt hundreds or thousands times more than when Rothschild had stabbed his heart .

He also felt empty .

In the morning, and during the night . The fact that his lovely daughter that came to visit him all the time to say hello wasn't here made his heart feel empty .

"Father~! I'll definitely go get a golden carp for grandmother!"

Kang Chul-In recalled the conversation he had with Arshelly this morning .

"Yes, daughter . Make sure that you don't get injured . "

"Yes, father! But…"

"Hm?"

"W-Will you… k-kiss…"

" . . . . . . . "

"I-Is that not possi…"

"There are many eyes around . Don't you see all the maids?"

"Okay…"

"Maybe later . "

"Hng… Though it's a shame… Then maybe later?"

Why did he recall this conversation?

Was this the feeling of 'I should have been better to her when she was here' that ex-lovers felt?

I should have done it… it wasn't even difficult…

Even though his dignity as a Lord was important, wasn't it just a kiss?

This was the first time Kang Chul-In had ever felt regret .

"Right now . "

Kang Chul-In stood up .

"We will leave the minimum amount of troops, and march north immediately . I will give you exactly 1 hour to prepare . In that time, make sure everyone gets ready to leave . "

And gave immediate orders .

"Yes, Lord!"

"We will move immediately!"

The officials of Laputa answered back at the same time .

"That f*cking bastard… Is he a psychopath? You are so dead to me, stupid…"

Kwak-Jung showed the killing intent that hadn't flared up since he had quit being a gangster .

"You… bastard! This Drakan will rip you to shreds!"

Drakan also gritted his teeth, showing his anger .

"With my shield… with this aegis, I will make your head explode!"

Lucia also muttered ferociously, before leaving the hall .

"I will kill you… kill you…"

"How dare he kidnap the princess…"

Leaving the hall, all the officials had terrifying expressions on their faces .

This was how special Arshelly was in the territory .

Arshelly was polite and kind to everyone, and was also cute and lovely . It was like she was the daughter of everyone .

And in actuality, there really was no one in Laputa who didn't love or like Arshelly . Everyone liked her . Even excluding the fact that she was the daughter of Kang Chul-In, she was someone they needed to save .

-Krrr…

The Altaica growled, standing next to Kang Chul-In . The godbeast also cautiously tapped the feet of Kang Chul-In .

It looked like the beast was trying to calm Kang Chul-In down . As a godbeast, it looked as if it understood what had happened .

"Hu…"

Kang Chul-In sighed deeply .

"I should have at least made her take you with her…"

-Krr… .

As if it understood Kang Chul-In's words, the Altaica started to nod .

"Milord . "

After making sure Podolski was alright for the moment, Alfred came .

"I know how you feel, but please don't stress too much about it . What kind of child is princess Arshelly? Not only is she a smart child, but she has also hidden herself in a pocket dimension, which means that she'll be unharmed . "

"I know that too . "

Kang Chul-In answered .

Like Alfred had said, Arshelly would be fine for a couple of days .

The spell that Arshelly had cast was a defensive spell called 'Untouchable Barrier,' which would defend the caster from all outside threats . Using this spell, one would be able to negate even the strongest of spells, such as a dragon's breath .

But,

"It will only last for a week at max . "

Even a powerful mage like Arshelly would only be able to activate it for a week at the very maximum .

Although Sheville Polansky couldn't absorb the spell since it wasn't an offensive one, the chance that something would go wrong increased as time went by .

"Once Arshelly's mana runs out, her safety won't be guaranteed . "

"Milord, please think about it calmly . Since you're going, isn't the safety of the princess already guaranteed?"

"I feel so terrible . I feel so dirty that killing intent keeps flaring up . "

"Is it because Milord recalls that man's true face?"

Alfred remembered Sheville Polansky .

Previously when they were conquering Sheville Polansky's territory, Kang Chul-In and Alfred had witnessed a hideous scene within a forest in Sheville Polansky's territory .

Sheville Polansky was a psychopathic murderer that had a weird fetish for children .

What did he do?

He had a hobby of locking young girls and boys within a glass cage, and watching them .

And after?

He killed them by poisoning them, would dismember their bodies, and would label the body parts by their name . Sheville Polansky was a man who used his position of Lord as a tool to continue his hideous behavior in Pangaea where he wouldn't be found out .

"To think that despicable bastard will… . My daughter . Daughter…"

Finally leaving the hall, Kang Chul-In muttered one last time .

"Wait a little bit . "

-------

At the same time .

Inside the 'Untouchable Barrier', Arshelly was getting carried on a wagon .

"Don't just stay inside, come out . "

An old man who looked to be about 60 spoke to Arshelly while sitting on the wagon .

"This old man isn't trying to hurt you . "

" . . . "

"Huhu, it seems like you're still afraid . Take a look . There are so many delicious sweets here . "

" . . . "

No matter how much the old man tried to persuade her, Arshelly didn't respond . She pretended not to hear anything .

"Let me introduce myself properly . "

" . . . "

"This grandpa's name is Sheville Polansky . I'm not a bad person . I'm actually a Lord who controls the 'Bittermoon' territory . Think about it . Why would a lord like me try to hurt you?"

" . . . "

Even though Sheville Polansky introduced himself, Arshelly still remained silent .

It was a smart decision .

As the child of Kang Chul-In, Arshelly's strategic value was incomparable . If news that his daughter had been kidnapped was spread, there was no doubt that many lords would start to salivate at the thought of taking Arshelly hostage .

"Huu…"

Finally unable to stand it, Sheville Polansky exploded .

"You stupid girl! How dare you ignore me? Fine! Let's see if you're still able to stay like that once we arrive at my secret place . Huhu…"

Sheville Polansky stared at Arshelly with lustful eyes .
