The Knight King Who Returned with a God

Leon's heir

While discussions on the Pyongyang Special Self-Governing City were taking place in Seoul Leon was living a somewhat boring life.

North and South Koreans who will work as workers in the development of Pyongyang. A plan to allow them to become residents of the autonomous city and at the same time maintain their South Korean nationality.

How the city will develop and the issue of disposal of existing property rights in Pyongyang etc.

Developing a new city and declaring it an autonomous city requires a lot of work. The leaders of this city also needed something to leave behind.

There are so many things that need to be done so many things to be done but-

hmm.

Leon had nothing to do.

Urban development plan? yapi does it

Peripheral dental care? knights do it

As for the political issue President Ahn is coordinating with the National Assembly and Leon only occasionally appears as a face madam.

After the demon lord of chaos and his forces were wiped out there was only a small gate attack. Even that assault party was not something that Leon would directly step out into.

In short there was nothing Leon could do himself.

The reason why he is so absorbed in the black dragon's friendship is because Leon basically has nothing to do.

[Leon is there anything to do?]

I don't have much to do these days.

At the sound of the goddess Leon shrugged. actually it was

But isn't this proof that the reign of peace is also a sign that the king is boring?

[There is no room for my knight to become a cancer soldier.]

“Exactly.”

Leon doesn't even think of himself as an outstanding military commander.

Even when he was in power as Lionheart's Lionheart he wasn't very competent in the affairs of the country.

It is because there has never been a feat in history where the wise men accomplished an ingenious feat that will remain in the era for the people.

He just worked hard at what he was good at.

kill orcs. demon hunting. Black Mage Torture.

Most of Leon's actions inside and outside the kingdom were to punish his enemies with force.

What Leon is still doing is suppressing the black dragon which others find difficult to handle and teaching him what to do to help the pantheon as a dragon.

If it's not like Leon the black dragon will kick out my teachers by force.

[If you're bored how about going to Beatrice's workshop?]

“You mean Viche?”

Leon nodded at Ariana's suggestion.

[Yes it won't be that easy to work as a woman alone. Moving something heavy...]

Goddess the secret body is the priestess of dreams and death. It's about moving something heavy even with bare hands—

[Heh heh since when did my knight put a toe on the horse of your goddess?]

Leon didn't vomit any more at what the goddess said. He leaves the Ryugyong Hotel suite without saying a word and walks down the hallway.

As soon as you leave the suite the interior becomes desolate. The interior of the Ryugyong Hotel which had been under construction for 50 years revealed a stark lack of budget.

“I was going to entrust it to the soon-to-be-born wise men of the forest but I still have to do the minimum interior work.”

[The roots of the World Tree are down so you'll have to take care of the furniture.]

That's right. Treemen and elves hate carved wood furniture.

Because of that the dwarves and humans who used firewood and developed forests were close friends. Conflicts due to differences in species occurred everywhere so it was the role of the Lion Heart King to coordinate them.

[How about entrusting it to Yapi?]

You mean Sir Spinner?

Leon thought about Yapi's way of working but was concerned that it might conflict with the elves and tree men.

Isn't it Yapi the crystallization of a highly developed civilized society? They probably have no interest in nature conservation or harmony.

[That child’s way of going out of his way. All you have to do is say one word. If you tell me to pay attention to eco-friendliness I will take care of it.]

That's true too.

Yapi alone manages the pantheon's finances. Calling the national treasury is the basis of national work but yapi was somewhat limited in its role.

If Yappi focuses on virtual currency production right now it will be able to swallow up the world economy at once.

However because of Leon's ambiguous request to pursue the right way isn't it a healthy property increase even by human standards?

Thanks to the overwhelming computational power of strong artificial intelligence it rarely fails.

Whoops...

[Why are you laughing so much?]

“I just imagined what it would be like if Sir Spinner became the Lionheart.]

[[······!]]

Ariana wasn't the only one who was taken aback by Leon's lightly raised topic.

Not only Petos and Poma but also Heto the guardian deity of Demera and Yapi were frightened and dissuaded.

[Leon my lighthouse. Don't even joke like that!]

It's not like I'm joking.

Heto interrupted Leon's answer.

[Sounds of a big day! He's my blacksmith but when he becomes king his people will turn him into a cyborg! I will force implant remodeling into the constitution while saying it's efficient!]

Isn't cyborg transformation something so dystopian?

[He is the one who will make the Matrix!]

·······.

Leon thought about the future where Yapi became the Lion Heart King and then he thought that he might really be like that.

[Yapi that baby isn't a bad-tempered child... but...]

Isn't Demera also not pleased?

Even his benevolent mother reacted like that and Leon asked back as if he was surprised.

[I think I will develop an apartment on farmland and eat food with artificial food...]

ah······.

In the civilized world of Yapi it was possible enough.

Livestock and agricultural and fishery products were consumed through the development of sinful factories and citizens filled their stomachs with artificial meat...

“Then Lord Vulcanus——”

[[I can't do that anymore!!]]

There was more resistance than before.

[The original woman is the opposite of the Lion Heart King who makes a divine descent when she is bored!]

Plesy Sir Vulcanus is not such an occasional knight.

[Leon do you still say that when you see Petos holding evangelical meetings in military academies around the world?]

·······.

Leon had heard that Petos the guardian deity of Vulcanus was always struggling with his lack of faith.

So isn't the holy power continuously sent with the staff obtained from the priest who serves the god Maltak obtained from the demon realm?

The gods are worried that if Vulcanus becomes the agent of the mansin all the gods will suffer from lack of holy power.

Vulcanus doesn't have the timely thrift like Leon.

hmm······.

Leon went down the stairs and looked for candidates to become the next Lion Heart King.

I thought I had enough dragon power and qualifications to become Yapi Vulcanus or Lion Heart King but the gods didn't seem to have it.

‘Then Vichena Karina. Goo Dae-seong remains.'

However Goo Dae-seong lacks experience. It was common for Holy Grail Guardians to be succeeded by Grail Knights but Goo Dae-seong was too young and inexperienced.

The other Holy Grail Knights will rebel and they will immediately disobey Vulcanus.

For Karina the dragon's heart is the problem. In order to transplant a lion's heart the dragon's heart must first be passed on to the next Grand Duke of Dragonia.

Like Leon he could hold both hearts for a while but that was only possible because he was Leon.

What if he gave birth to an heir who would inherit the dragon's heart...?

‘Damn it I don't think you'll see that.'

Just imagining a boy who will marry his daughter raises his anger. As long as Leon was alive she hated seeing such a mess.

‘then······.'

Oh Your Majesty. What are you doing? Today isn't Black Dragon's training day is it?

Leon met Beatrice in front of the room prepared for her workshop.

Ah Biche. Where are you going to drink?

Yes for the experiment.

Leon looked at the large bundle Beatrice was carrying. She was a bit unbalanced to hold with her slender hands but her priestess would not lack her strength.

Above all else as an excellent magician there is nothing that makes her suffer as much as a heavy burden.

Give it here. Let me lift it.

You don't have to do that...

It is a gentleman's duty to lift a lady's burden.

If so...

When Leon lifted Beatrice's luggage he felt a familiar energy in it.

It's the dragon's energy.

Yes I processed what I received from the black dragon as an exam fee.

Leon and Beatrice were teaching Black Dragon together.

Leon learned about hand-to-hand combat and Beatrice learned how to use mana.

Dragonia the god of gold and contracts did not like the situation in which humans teach dragons but admitted that there are very few people in this era who can teach their descendants.

Beatrice received the exam fee from the black dragon which is a trivial by-product of the dragon.

“Where do you intend to go with this?”

Is there a gate I asked for before? It's near Nampo.

Hmm that's pretty far. Stallion.

Leon summoned the god of light. The white horse is a lofty beast that carries only the Lion Heart King on its back but it unexpectedly gives its back to Beatrice.

Take Jim's hand.

Leon climbed into Stallion's saddle and reached out to her.

Gladly.

* * * *

over the middle of the Korean Peninsula. If you go down the west coast you will arrive at Nampo the second largest city in North Korea.

Although it is the second largest city in North Korea with a population of nearly one million Nampo City was no different just as Pyongyang fell into the hands of demons and perished.

The people who occupied this desolate city were the Kikkiruk tribe who came all the way from Mokpo and occupied the coastal area.

Strictly speaking Nampo City is not included in the Pyongyang Special Self-Governing City currently being discussed but North Korea is now communist in Muju.

The Kiruk tribe who traveled north with Dominator-class submarine carriers annihilated the North Korean navy and occupied the empty city naturally occupied this place as if it were their own city.

Strictly speaking they are also South Korean residents so it is ambiguous to kick them out even from the South Korean point of view.

In the meantime a gate appeared on the coast of Nampo City and Beatrice delivered a pause to the Kirkiruk raiding party trying to clear the gate.

“I heard it was for an experiment but what exactly is the plan?”

A gate that appears along the coast of Nampo City. Leon who was helping Beatrice on the sandy beach asked.

“Are you familiar with Dragon Fear?”

It's the energy that the dragon naturally exudes.

“Yes I felt it the other day when I went through the gate to the Dragonian Empire. Even a few hunters couldn’t move without knowing if they received the protection of strong faith.”

It is the energy of the strong that blooms just by existing. The higher the level of existence the more power exists to oppress lower beings.

It's not something that can be resisted only by strength so it's like how S-class Hunters or Holy Grail Knights who are similarly strong react differently even if they see the same higher being.

The dragon's scales and by-products still retain their aura even after they fall off the dragon. It's also quite powerful.

exactly?

Leon who was driving a stake suddenly remembered that there were no kinks around.

Even when they just landed they had come to say hello to Leon but they hurriedly avoided the seat as if they were uneasy about something.

Did you avoid the energy flowing from Yongrin?

Yes even those who are protected by the gods want to avoid the dragon's energy. In that case...

What about monsters?

Leon's eyes lit up at that question.

Would the monsters avoid the dragon's energy?

That's right. That's why I asked you to stop attacking the gate.

Beatrice deliberately caused a dungeon break and wanted to see how the monsters that popped out would react to the dragon's energy.

It's an interesting way. It's an idea unthinkable in Jim's reign.

It was natural too. In Leon's reign the dragon was an enemy to be defeated.

However as long as Dragonia entered the pantheon and chose coexistence the dragons to be born in the future must also choose the path of coexistence with Lionheart.

If so you should be able to get anything like dragon scales.

Beatrice foresaw such a future and studied how to utilize the dragon's power.

“Then since the dungeon break isn’t too far away let’s spend some time here.”

“Since you came to the sea after all would you like to play?”

I'd like to refrain from that. Exposing bare skin is embarrassing after all.

It was a natural reaction since Beatrice hated swimsuits so much.

“Is Jim talking about boating?”

ah······.

A red flower bloomed on Beatrice's cheek at Leon's smirk. However Beatrice soon changed the subject gently.

“By the way Fleur said to stop His Majesty what were you talking about?”

Ah~ It's nothing special. I've been talking about the Lion Heart King who will succeed me. Biche is also a strong candidate.

······!

Leon said it lightly but Beatrice was startled and grabbed Leon's hand.

No.

······Viche?

Beatrice looked up at him with sad eyes.

please. tight.

Her slender hand was giving it strength as if it were about to run away.
