124 – We decided to call this a catastrophe

That’s Pardal Island. Is it bigger than you imagined?

I thought it was a small area to call it an island, but it’s not.

Let’s see. But where is the port? I can’t go up anywhere.

Kyle, who is not a ship but a person, continues to swim and find the port.

The reason is simple. Because the port is the right place to announce that I have come here.

When you secretly land on the shore and crash, John Nassen’s name will cry.

As the son of my parents, as the younger brother of his brother and sister, I can’t do that.

You should reveal your identity, give them time to prepare, and then fight!

‘Oh. Found.’

Kyle found a place where ships came and went and swam to it.

It was so fast that a fair number of ships could catch up to it in no time.

“… ?”

“What?”

Seafarers entering or leaving the port spotted Kyle.

At first, they thought someone was missing and tried to rescue them, but soon gave up.

Because they are good swimmers, and since they are already in the harbor, they can come ashore.

I thought that someone who had been swimming around here might have come to the port.

Of course, Kyle didn’t swim from an island he could touch if he tipped over, but from the imperial port.

“Come up quickly.”

As we reach the port, one of the soldiers waiting on the shore extends his hand.

Kyle, who finally reached the shore while holding his hand, smiled with a proud smile.

‘It seems like it’s been overloaded for the first time in a while.’

I was a bit worried because the water was warm unlike in the north.

Isn’t this just going to end up just playing in the water?

Fortunately, the distance was quite far, so I did as much exercise as I thought.

His soldiers stared blankly at Kyle as he smiled.

I thought he fell into the water and barely got back up, but is that not the case?

“… It’s the first time I see your face Aren’t you here?”

“Yes. I’m from a little far away. I mean, in the Empire.”

The moment they heard that answer, a sigh of absurdity erupted from among the soldiers.

It takes half a day to get to Pardal Island from the Empire by speedboat.

By the way, did you say you swam that distance, from the mainland to this place in Pardal?

A lie must be sincere to get over it. This crossed the line.

Wouldn’t it be better if I had drowned in the sea and swam in front of me on the way back?

“It’s a joke. Please tell me which island you are from.”

“I really am from the Empire.”

Can you answer this seriously? Sometimes I feel like doing it for a while.

But why is a human from the Empire swimming?

As far as I know, ships from the Empire only depart after two days.

It was a situation that could not even be regarded as a shipwrecked person who had fallen from a ship.

“Look at this. If you keep doing this, it will be very difficult….”

“You are from the Empire.”

One of the soldiers, who appears to be the senior, speaks in a dissatisfied voice.

Perhaps he’s the one with a bad opinion of the Empire.

The history of Pardal Island itself began with the refugees of the kingdom defeated by the Empire.

Of course, their perception of the Empire is not the worst, but not the best either.

“Do you know what will happen if the emperor enters Pardal Island without a pass?”

“Sorry. I do not know.”

“Investigate and follow the rules of this place if you enter with impure intentions….”

“I came with impure intentions. So please follow the rules.”

And then he even holds out his hand as if to arrest him quickly.

Kyle’s action sent all the soldiers into a state of confusion.

What the hell is this human? Are you crazy? Who says this with their own mouth?

“… I guess I have to report this to the lord’s castle.”

“Then. I don’t think this is an ordinary madman.”

A mysterious man from the Empire came in, but he himself had evil intentions.

It was a moment when I wondered what kind of answer would come back if I reported

.

“… What now?”

The face of the lord of Pardal Island, who was eating lunch, slightly distorted.

It’s been a while since I’ve been sitting down to eat with her family.

The sudden news was more than unpleasant, it was absurd.

“A suspicious person entered the island, and he is said to be from the Empire?”

“Yes, lord.”

“A regular transit ship from the Empire will depart in two days at the earliest, right?”

“So I’m thinking that maybe it’s a person sent from the Empire….”

I wonder if any ganja in the world would say that he had impure intentions.

I didn’t even come in the dark night, and I didn’t come to the seaside where there were no people at all.

In broad daylight, to the harbor watched by hundreds of eyes, he came swimming confidently.

‘What the hell is this?’

The thought of ‘maybe?’

The hardliners of the Union of the Western Kingdoms, who were saved as castaways a while ago.

I heard that they ran away before being captured by the Empire, but they are hiding them on an island for now.

Confederation in the west, nomadic tribes in the east, and independent lords in the south.

Even if they don’t keep in touch, being with each other is helpful.

Because the Empire doesn’t allow us to concentrate our power in one place.

However, the coalition completely collapsed and the pro-imperial faction gained power.

If this happens, the power of the empire, which was taken in the west, can be directed elsewhere.

Being wary of that part, the lord of Pardal Island secretly decided to help the hardliners.

I wanted them to go back to the alliance and keep the empire in check.

‘… Did the Empire notice?’

I thought I couldn’t keep it a secret forever.

It was my intention to have them stay here for a while and then move them to another place.

In the Empire, it was a simple rescue of the castaway, he didn’t know his identity, so he could just ignore it.

Rescuing the shipwrecked at sea is a moral part that is carried out by both enemies and allies.

But it’s too fast. Even if the information was entered, the movement was excessively fast.

I heard that you subdued the Western Union without shedding a drop of blood, but are you trying to turn it into the south?

In a situation where even independent lords can’t lag behind in naval power right now?

‘For more details, I’ll have to meet and find out who came from that empire.’

Crazy guests of the Empire who have gone out of their minds. Or maybe it’s a VIP who knows something.

I thought it was right to see and judge with the lord’s own eyes, not anyone else’s.

So I ordered a young man from that empire to come.

Of course, in case of an emergency, his hands were in heavy handcuffs.

“Your lord. I brought the young man as you instructed.”

“Let it in.”

If you really want to look at it, you can just punish it, and if it’s just a bit of a headache….

Um. If that’s the case, I’ll have to think about it a bit more. That was the moment the lord muttered.

‘Uh….’

Ganja of the Empire. Gradually fades from my mind.

Unfortunately, a young man with a bit of a headache. It also crumbles away.

The young man who was approaching in front of me was too far away from those two cases.

I am happy to see my pectoralis major muscle and reveal my presence. The trapezius muscle widens its eyes, asking what it is looking at.

The deltoid muscle grumbles that the door is filthy narrow, and the rectus abdominis muscle shyly greets you through your clothes.

‘Well, what kind of ganja is that?’

I have never even heard of ganja made this way.

A body like that will catch your eye wherever you go.

It is not at all welcome to those who live in secrecy.

Above all, the aura of a strong man that can be felt at first glance.

This energy was like watching a wave catcher on Pardal Island.

“Are you Lord Pardal?”

It’s not like he stutters or is rude.

Asking a question in a polite tone, the lord of Nifar Dal Island reflexively nodded.

“Ah. That’s fortunate. I thought I was going to see a port manager just because I said I was going to a high-ranking person.”

A young man who had been saying things he couldn’t understand came forward.

Then he suddenly holds out his hand and asks for a handshake.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Kyle John Nassen.”

For now, hold onto the outstretched hand. I got it, but something is strange.

Apparently this young man, had his handcuffs on when he came in.

Since the two hands are attached, he should not be able to use his hands freely.

By the way….

‘By the way, how are you shaking hands?’

It wasn’t long before the lord found out why.

I found a steel bracelet or handcuff dangling from the young man’s wrist.

“Uh. Oh my. It’s broken. Do it again? If this makes you feel more secure.”

Fortunately, the soldiers noticed that the handcuffs were broken and put the handcuffs back on.

It seems that the handcuffs were defective or were on the verge of breaking due to old age.

“Come on. Again. Nice to meet you. I am….”

Ting-. Toutuk -.

The handcuffs that had been restraining my wrists up until just now tumbled across the floor.

Obviously new handcuffs were put on, so why did they break again?

The soldiers came running again, but the lord defeated them.

I instinctively felt it. No matter how many handcuffs you put on, it won’t help.

Even if they were chained, this young man smiled and said that he would break them all.

‘More than that… I’m sure it was John Nassen.’

Even if it is an island floating in the southern sea, far away from the Empire.

I am not dull with the news I hear. Rather, they are very sensitive.

If you are Baron John Nassen, you have already heard of him several times.

A long time ago, they were the last warriors that the empire could not subdue.

Since then, the academy has been destroyed in half and is plagued with all sorts of rumors.

As an aristocrat who recently ended the strained relationship with the Empire and fully cooperated.

‘The thing that destroyed the union, and the thing that broke the three giants. It was all John Nassen.’

The lord of Pardal Island looked at Kyle slowly.

It sure looks strong. However, there is still no certainty that he is the real John Nassen.

“I’m from the Empire.”

“Yes. For reference, this is not an imperial affair, it is a very personal matter. Don’t get me wrong.”

What are you talking about when you have already gone to the battlefield for the empire?

Displeasure soared for a moment, but the lord tried to keep his mouth shut.

“Your lord. Aren’t there any castaways you saved some time ago?”

“I see.”

“Did you know that they are part of the hardliners who fled the Coalition?”

“… I don’t know.”

“I’m glad. Because you don’t know Then those castaways, I want to take over.”

Then the lord’s face is distorted.

This is not the imperial sea. It is a sea of independent lords.

Nothing in the empire is just a bright apricot here.

I can’t say that the castaways are taken over at will.

“Dude, you are out of your mind.”

“Okay.”

Kyle sneaks up to the lord.

Just two steps. He had only stepped forward, but the lord stepped back.

The energy I felt was huge and terrifying.

“Please avoid facial expressions. It’s uncomfortable to see.”

The lord flinched and shivered and slowly returned his expression.

My pride hurts, but my body is very steady at Kyle’s request.

No, I was quietly following the monster’s threat.

“Lord.”

Kyle lifted his head and whispered softly.

“This is not a request.”
