Regressor Instruction Manual

Chapter 277: Unwanted Plan (1)

I kept imagining throwing the Dragon Breath potion right into her face, but I knew I couldn't do that.

Unaware of her place, Charlia began to talk once again as if she got the courage upon seeing me speechless for a moment. Of course, this was a stupid assumption on her part.

"I-I'm sorry for yelling. However, I wasn't saying that for no reason, Lee Kiyoung-nim. No matter how big the problem is, I can fix it all."

"What?"

"Until now, I was quietly cowering because I had no power, but not now. Look at the nobles gathered under my name. Compared to Charlotte, there is absolutely no shortage."

'What bullshit.'

"They are gathered under legitimate and authentic blood. They are the ones who will agree with me."

'It's not that...'

"M-My dad must have seen me in a new light. If I become the Empress, everything will be solved. Yes. Absolutely. Perhaps, sooner or later, he will realize who really will take over the throne. It will definitely come. Lee Kiyoung, when that time comes..."

"Yes?"

"I will seat Lee Kiyoung as the prime minister of the Empire. I will do that."

'I never said I needed anything like that.'

Looking at her saying that as if it was even a great gift was laughable. It wasn't even realistic.

Even if she had said that after being chosen as the successor, I would still say that it was not time to get excited.

However, it would be strange to believe her when she was saying that right after she ruined what we had built so far.

'This is ridiculous.'

No wonder I had begun thinking about abandoning her.

Charlia's ship was already sinking. I was on top of it and would feel it greater than anyone else.

Even if a miracle happened, it was impossible for her to ascend to the throne.

I always walked a single path, and it was the first time that my senses were screaming so much.

I thought that no matter how I persuaded Charlia or made a fuss, I couldn't change her.

'I have to get out, quickly.'

Of course, contrary to what I was thinking, my head had begun to unconsciously nod.

This was because I thought it would be more realistic to find a way to live just accepting, rather than saying, 'Let's stop with the open alliance.'

It was no wonder that Charlie herself looked slightly surprised.

Unlike the inside, where I was swearing all kinds of things, I had no choice but to maintain my usual appearance on the outside.

"Ohh. I see. I didn't know you were thinking so far..."

"Yes. If you continue to help me, I will never forget your kindness, Honorary Bishop."

"Of course, I'll do it as I've been until now, but... it'll be hard if today's thing happens again."

"Yes. I-I'll admit that I was a little hasty. But Marlin, that crazy girl..."

"Yes. Yes."

No matter what she would say, I wouldn't listen. It would only further my anger.

She was talking as if I wasn't angry anymore when she saw me nodding and thought that my anger was relieved.
