Chapter 88 . Capturing Drakan's heart

"Milord . "

Kwak-Jung, who was by Kang Chul-In's side called him .

"Well, this time around we have captured 10 cat demi-human, right?"

"Yes . What about it?"

"Umm… Are you going to use all of them as assassins?"

"For now, that is the plan . "

"Ehem…"

Kwak-Jung coughed, and his face reddened .

"Milord… the thing is…"

Due to Kwak-Jung's embarrassed expression and quietly spoken words, Kang Chul-In started to get annoyed .

"Say what you want quickly . I do not have much time to waste . "

"Oh… yes… The thing is… Is it possible… to put one of the cat-women as… my Secretary? Ehem… I am the Tactician of Laputa, afterall… One secretary should…"

"Hehe… I think a secretary would definitely allow me to work better, and focus more on my tasks . "

"No . "

"Is it not possible…?"

Kwak-Jung's expression showed dissappointment .

"I know for a fact that if I let one of them be your secretary, you definitely wouldn't work faster, or focus on your task . It's obvious that you would spend your day trying to flirt with that 'Secretary' of yours . "

"N-No! That's not true…"

"I think it would be better entrusting a cat with a fish . "

"…Then why not entrust a cat to Kwak-Jung?"

POW!

As he said that, Kwak-Jung's face fell to the ground from shock . Kang Chul-In had flicked him on the forehead .

"Ow… . "

"Kwak-Jung .

"Yes, milord…"

"They're not objects . "

"… . "

"If you really want a secretary like that, then go ask them yourself . If they agree, then I'll allow you to keep one as your Secretary . "

"R-Really?"

"You know that I do not go against my words . "

"T-Thank you, milord!"

And as soon as Kang Chul-In gave permission, Kwak-Jung scurried off, looking happier than ever .

"Hmph… What terrible personality he has . "

Lucia stared at Kwak-Jung's back distastefully, as he scurried off quickly .

"Ehem… I can't say that I do not sympathize with Soldier Kwak, though . "

Billy Halford spoke, embarrassed .

"Cat-women are probably every man's dre… Cough . Never mind . "

"Milord… As expected . "

"Huh?"

"I'm just saying it's like milord to not be enchanted by the looks of those foolish cat people . Hoho . "

Lucia seemed satisfied that Kang Chul-In, unlike the other men, was not that excited about capturing the Cat-women .

It was at that moment .

Along with a pained scream, the sound of a loud cat came from elsewhere .

"Uuu… Why can't they just say no if they don't want to…"

And Kwak-Jung appeared, his face looking crest-fallen .

"Hohoho! It seems like Soldier Kwak has learnt a lesson from those foolish cats? Those cats have a feisty personality, and they do not appreciate people that are weaker than them… Like you . "

Lucia laughed, as if she felt that it was pleasurable looking at Kwak-Jung's pain .

"What, are all demi-humans like that?"

Kwak-Jung asked, full of bitterness .

"No, but those cats are just a special case . Those Cat-women… you can just think of them as angry, female cats . Umm… I think maybe the Ho-people (Fox-humans) would be a good fit for you . "

"W-What? You want me to go with people that have tiger heads on them?" (Ho translates to either 狐=fox, or 虎=tiger in 한자 or Han Zi, the traditional korean letters based on chinese)

"Those are the other Ho-people (Humanoid Tigers), and I was talking about the Fox-humans . "

"Fox Humans? Do they have tails too?"

"Tails, ears . They have both of them . "

"No way…"

"If they cat-women have a girl-like charm that exudes cuteness, then the fox-women have a sort of mature-woman like charm . "

"I-Isn't that a legendary Kumiho that comes out in mythology?"

"And what's that…"

"Y-You don't know? Y-You know, the 1000 year old fox demons . The ones with the Nine tails!"

"That's a Ninetails . "

"Ninetails?"

"Yes . They also come out in the mythology of Pangaea, but they are closer to Gods and legends . But no-one is sure . Whether they truly exist or not . After all, Ninetails existing are just legends . "

"They exist . "

Kang Chul-In suddenly spoke .

"Really?"

"Are you sure, milord?"

Kwak-Jung and Lucia both asked in surprise .

"Ninetails… are real . "

It was at that moment .

"Milord!!!!"

From far away, Drakan could be seen riding a horse, and galloping towards Kang Chul-In at full speeds .

"Milord~~!! Wait!!! Just a moment!!!"

"What is it . "

But Kang Chul-In didn't seem surprised, and spoke calmly .

"Milord… how could you just leave me after all you've done for me? At least let me serve you!"

"Hmph . You didn't listen when I asked you nicely . Do I really have to give you a beating to let me listen?"

"T-The thing is…"

"Milord… Sorry . I beg you to forgive me, for my insolence . Please . Let this useless one serve you from now on!"

"Stand . "

Kang Chul-In spoke .

"Stand, and go back to the Absilon territory . "

"B-But…"

"Do I have to give you another beating to make you listen?"

"You will rest today, and come back when you get better . I don't want the loyalty of someone that is injured . "

"B-But…"

"Do not worry . I am going to use Absilon as a temporary base of war, and use it as a tactical fortress, going back and forth . It won't be long . You better be healed by then . "

"Kuk… Yes, thank you, milord!"

"Oh . And . Don't ride horses from now on . "

"…Huh?"

"Look at it . It's dead . "

And Kang Chul-In pointed at the poor horse that Drakan had ridden on the way here . The horse… was dead, it's tongue sticking outwards from exhaustion .

'Ninetails, huh…'

After the conversation with Drakan, Kang Chul-In's mind drifted to the queen of the foxes, the Ninetails .

Was it because of how beautiful it was?

Of course not . Although Kang Chul-In had heard rumors of it before, he hadn't actually met one before . He just remembered the war between the Ninetails and Aleister, the traitor that had betrayed him before .

'You . I will beat you up first, Aleister . '

'3 months after the first Lord meetings . Lord Aleister begins the war with the Ninetails . '

Kang Chul-In recalled the past . It was the war between the Fox-humans and the undead, later titled the Graveyard War .

'The Graveyard War was the starting point of you becoming an Overlord . But… this time, you won't succeed, you dirty traitor . '

Kang Chul-In ground his teeth, and spoke .
