I was having fun with Soohyeon and Hyejeong, then the twin sisters, and Leah and Becky while waiting for Pope Aria to contact me…
– Prophet… I received a message from the Kingdom of Marjor.
Finally, a plan that would determine my safety and fate was about to begin.
…
[MC POV]
"It's my first time going overseas… And on a private plane… I'm a little… No, very surprised."
The Kingdom of Marjor was a nation located in the Atlantic Ocean, a bit away from other European countries. It was made up of the main island, which was about twice the size of England, and numerous uninhabited islands.
Many of these uninhabited islands served as military facilities, and it was said that numerous nuclear weapons owned by the Marjor nation were scattered across various locations.
With a history of less than 500 years, the kingdom had a strained relationship with other European countries. It seldom interacted with them, maintaining a strong sense of independence. As a result, it was often perceived as a country that was not well known to the rest of the world.
Of course, they had an abundance of natural resources, so trade was active, but most of their profits came from exports, making them a fairly wealthy country.
It was one of the few monarchies that was not well known to the outside world, yet it was rich in resources, wealthy, and stable.
The only drawback was that the population was not very large, and the ability to develop military power was somewhat lacking. However, the Kingdom of Marjor made up for this with its nuclear weapons, making it a country not to be messed with.
"Looking at it this way, it doesn't seem like they really needed it enough to make me king?… Well, even if the population is small, it's a similar situation, as other countries are also decreasing."
"Yes, it looks like that on the outside… But the Kingdom of Marjor is now… Queen Anne needs Taeyang unconditionally."
I was puzzled and waited for what the Pope had to say, as her words were filled with confidence rather than simply a story of possibility.
"Because… Right now, Marjor is on the verge of extinction… And that too by their own hands."
"The destruction of the country…??"
On the outside, it looked like a fairly stable country, but when one looked into the reality, it was quite different.
"Do you know when and why the Kingdom of Marjor was created in the first place?"
"Huh?… I'm not sure about that…"
'It's a country that didn't exist in the world I originally lived in…'
It was a country that did not exist in my original world but only in the M world. Most other countries existed similarly, but the only country that was different was a place called Marjor.
"Approximately 500 years ago… It was a time when people slowly began to realize that they were lowly male and female demons, thanks to a prophet named Nowal Peace."
'Hmm… I guess the Sadi religion has a slightly different interpretation of Nowal Peace…'
Normally, it was believed that Nowal Peace spread M medicine all over the world and forcibly turned people into true masochists. However, in the Sadi religion, Nowal Peace was seen as a prophet who carried out the orders of God Sadi.
Because of this, there was a perception that M medicine was not a drug that caused masochism, but rather a drug that awakened one's true nature.
"At that time, it was a period when the number of believers in our newly formed Sadi religion, who accepted their own nature, was rapidly increasing."
Although it was not very old, it was not a religion that could be ignored.
Originally, most of the world's religions had greatly weakened, but Sadiam was a religion that grew so quickly that it was believed by about half of the world's population. It was said to have expanded rapidly, even when it was just created.
"Unfortunately, at the time, there were many people who not only believed in Sadism but also rejected it, so conflicts always occurred, and the conflict was growing at the same time."
The Pope looked sad after drinking a glass of water.
'Putting aside the lewdness, she does have a mentality suitable for the position of Pope… If this was not a fantasy world, I think she would have been a saint or something.'
"So what was chosen was for some sects within the Sadi religion to break away and create their own nation."
"Then that is…"
"Yes… It was the Kingdom of Marjor."
"Then is the relationship between the Kingdom of Marjor and the Sadi Church good?"
Even if it was the same religion, when a part of it broke away to create a new religion or group, it was common for the new faction to reject the existing one.
If you look closely at religions in the world, many resemble this pattern. Although they believed in the same existence, they developed a strong perception of being separate from each other.
"Yes, some of the sects that founded the Marjor Kingdom at that time didn't have other ideas but founded a new kingdom in opposition to those who did not believe in the Sadi religion. So, they still have a good relationship with the Sadi religion… In fact, the official religion of the Kingdom of Marjor now is Sadism, so I also go there every year."
"Ho… In some ways, it is from the same country as Sadism."
"Yes, that's why it was a country that was easier for us to conquer."
Pope Aria gave a slightly strategic smile. I understood to some extent why she chose the Kingdom of Marjor and recommended I become the future king of this country.
"Still, I don't understand one thing… Why did you choose kingdom…? Did the queen really need me?"
The reason the Pope chose that country had been resolved to some extent, but I was still unsure about becoming king, and I didn't understand why the kingdom wanted me.
"That's because the people no longer trust or believe in the royal family."
"The royal family?"
"Yes, as I said earlier, the Kingdom of Marjor was originally created by quite hardliners within the Sadi religion… So, just by looking at the depth of faith, it was on a different level from the general Sadi faith…"
It was a country created by those who believed in and followed the God of Sadi even more strongly within the Sadi religion, so those with a deeper faith than the general Sadi believers currently made up most of the population.
"This country developed and was maintained when the Sadi bishop, who led the believers at the time, ascended to the position of queen. It is said that the queen at the time was a ruler who mercilessly ruled the people with a whip."
"Whip?? Whip? Then there won't be any backlash?"
"Huh? Why? If it were a kingdom like that, I would have nothing to do but go and beg to be made into a citizen."
"Ah… Yes…??"
As expected, I still have a long way to go before I can fully adapt to the M world.
"However, as time passed, the queens, whose nature as female demons became stronger, no longer ruled the country with whips, force, and domination. Now, they just run it like other countries."
When the M drug first spread, there were many more 'normal' people than there are now, and there were also a lot of people who weren't completely affected by their masochistnature.
As time passed, and each generation came and went, the M drug quickly spread and permeated, erasing the S tendency, and the same was true for the blood of the queen who inherited the royal family of the Kingdom of Marjor.
"So what does this have to do with why people don't trust or believe in the royal family?"
"The royal family… The queen was a complete ruler at first… Of course, she is a pathetic female who is laughable even compared to the prophet now, but at the time, she had a strong meaning as someone who carried out God's will… And mercy."
'God's mercy is a whip… Um…'
There were a lot of things I wanted to refute, but I listened quietly to what the Pope said because nothing would be more foolish than asserting my common sense here.
"As time passed, she became a queen who only superficially reigned, which was very dissatisfying to the people who absolutely believed in God Sadi."
"I see…"
To put it simply, when the queen, who had historically ruled with whips and fear, was reduced to a pathetic masochist like them, public opinion spread among most of the people that she could no longer be recognized as an agent of God Sadi.
As a result, the backlash against the royal family grew, and if things continued like this, a civil war would break out, and the country could disintegrate.
"No matter what… They say she didn't become the queen they wanted, so she can go only that far… Um…"
"What the people want is not simply a legitimate queen, but an agent of sadism… This is a country that was maintained and continued by the first queen, who was the foundation of the country in the first place, claiming that position."
It was a kingdom that had been greatly shaken internally over the past 100 years. Though it had managed to hold on until now, the public opposition had grown so severe that it could no longer hold on.
There was only one way to solve this.
"So, Taeyang… is the only solution.♥"
"I see…"
The absolute ruler that the people want… The one who came to this land with the will of the God of Sadi.
It was me.
'I feel a little embarrassed even after listining that…'
I just had a light heart and the title of prophet on the outside, but now that things had escalated like this, I felt a little… No, a lot of embarrassment.
"The queen was well aware of this fact, so she initially planned to kidnap and brainwash the prophet to make you king and, at the same time, manipulate you from the back."
"… Crazy."
"But this method is no longer useful, so there is only one method left."
"Then the reason the Queen of Marjor is calling us now…"
"Yes… To formally encourage the Prophet to marry her princess."
"Hmm…"
Being able to become king is a very attractive proposition.
Even though it was a small to medium-sized country, it had pretty good conditions...
'Just ascending to the throne like a puppet… Isn't my style.'
