Chapter 9: [Princess of Riverin Kingdom] - (1)
The Kingdom of Riverin was a country that felt alien rather than exotic when viewed from Earth.
Due to the influence of interaction with the Earth, large buildings were erected all over the city in Libran, the capital city, but the fantasy-style architecture unique to the Kingdom of Riverin stood out.
Rather than being similar to European royal palaces, it looked more like a fantasy-style world people imagined.
In fact, not only in the city of Libran, but also in each major area of the Kingdom of Riverin, there were huge towers that looked like magic towers, and the work of magic awakeners with the ability to manufacture artifacts was carried out inside the towers with impenetrable security.
In addition, there were unusual animals and plants that were not on Earth in the Riverin Kingdom, and it was proven by scientists' research for many years that there were no viruses that were harmful to earthlings.
In addition, it was revealed that there were crops similar to rice, wheat, potatoes, and sweet potatoes in the Kingdom of Riverin, but subtly different from them, and the diet was basically the same as that of Earth, so the cuisine of the Kingdom of Riverin developed through exchanges with Earth and was known to people around the world. Was classified as a familiar dish.
"Well."
And I bought a snack from the Riverin Kingdom at a traditional sweets shop in the Kingdom of Riverin and was tasting it.
'Something sweet.'
It wasn't that I hated all sweet things, but to me, who didn't like it to the point of being crazy, these sweets made in the Kingdom of Riverin seemed too sweet.
'Minhye will like it.'
But Minhye would have liked it.
Although the Seomun family didn't notice, he would see her sister at least three times a week.
And there were frequent cases of giving gifts, even if they were trivial, and since he had come to the Riverin Kingdom, he wanted to present some snacks, so he tasted them himself.
"Your lord didn't like sweets that much, did you?"
"It's too sweet. I don't hate it, but I like moderately sweet things."
"You don't even like chocolate ice cream that much, do you?"
"That's too sweet. I don't know if it's mixed with something else… It's just chocolate ice cream."
I like to eat chocolate sometimes, but once I tasted 2 or 3 pieces at a time, I stopped eating them.
For the same reason, I never ate more than one piece of cake or chocolate cake.
Even though he gained overwhelming power, his taste did not change.
"The lord's gifts to the lady are mainly sweets, but wouldn't it be nice to have a souvenir that can be kept in the Kingdom of Riverin?"
"If that happens, the Seomun family will try to ask Min-hye where she came from. The Seomun family is also suspicious that Min-hye sometimes disappears, so they're trying to find out, but they can't uselessly throw clues."
The object's existence alone would be a clue to the Seomun family.
Even if you only knew where it was sold, when it was sold, and who bought it, it wouldn't be too difficult for the preface family to find out.
In particular, among the Magic Awakeners, there were those with the ability to figure out where things were in the past.
"I guess so."
Leviathan didn't tell me if he also felt the problem, so I bought some snacks and put them in the subspace.
The conversation between me and Leviathan was not properly heard by other people, so there was no need to worry about overhearing our conversation because I put a cognitive impairment spell on it so that I couldn't remember it.
In particular, Leviathan was famous in the Kingdom of Liberin under the name of Leviath, so she was now disguising herself as a beautiful woman with light blue hair and a slender body, not a woman with dark blue hair. It was tilting
'Until you enter the academy, you have to pay attention to the eyes of the people around you. Tsk.'
Once posted on social media, it took an instant for the information to spread around the world.
In particular, Eugene Group was one of the leading conglomerates in the world with a market cap of over 3,000 trillion won.
Considering that in the reality where I lived, Saudi Aramco competed for the 1st and 2nd place in market capitalization even though it was an energy company, and that the market capitalization exceeded 3,000 trillion won. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the location of the Yuchun Group is one of the largest companies in the world.
It was not for nothing that he showed interest in the Riverin Kingdom.
"Now it's time to go. Let's go."
"Yes, lord."
The free time he had enjoyed for a while to commemorate his arrival in the Kingdom of Liberin after a few months was over.
I also bought a present for Min-hye, so the rest was to go at the invitation of the Riverin royal family.

The royal palace of the Riverin Kingdom is a private facility for the royal family and is strictly managed by prohibition of entry during normal times, but instead, the palace was filled with countless people outside.
"The CEO of Yuchun Artifact of Yuchun Group is visiting with the successor of Yuchun Group!"
"This is the scoop!"
In particular, reporters were seen gathering with cameras.
The royal escorts were seen struggling to maintain peace with the help of the police.
"Don't cross this line!"
"Everyone please calm down and keep your distance! Important guests need to visit."
"If you cross the line, you may face criminal penalties in extreme cases."
Escorts and police warned onlookers and reporters not to cross the line drawn, even emphasizing criminal punishment.
"Come!"
"It's Levia's boss!"
A beauty with dark blue hair was walking along with someone who was meticulously hiding her appearance by wearing a mask and a hood.
The beauty with dark blue hair was one of the hermits of the Riverin Kingdom and the CEO of Yuchun Artifact, a member of the Yuchun Group, which surprised the world.
"Hehe, nice to meet you all~"
Levia smiled briskly and raised her hand, waving to those gathered around her.
"President Levia! This is RBS! Can I interview you for a moment?"
"President Levia! This is MTNC. Is the person next to you the successor?"
Reporters rushed in and were frantic to dig up information.
It was also a scoop that Levia, the president of Yuchun Artifact, who appeared here, was invited by the Riverin royal family, but the existence of the heir of the Yuchun Group, who was to visit with her, was more than that.
The relationship with Beelzebub, who serves as the current chairman and CEO, was questionable as he is the next successor to Yuchun Group, which is one of the world's largest companies.
There was a rumor that there was a separate owner of Yoochun Group, and the speculation that it might have something to do with the owner of the rumor further stimulated people's curiosity about the successor.
"I'm not accepting interviews right now. Then~"
When the reporters were stopped by the escorts and the police and shouted at them, Levia refused to give her an interview.
After those words, the images of Levia and her heir disappeared from the place where the reporters gathered, and the two appeared again in front of the main gate of the palace.
Like Levia, who is an Awakener of magical power, the successor who is presumed to be an Awakener has moved to the front gate of the palace in an instant with their own power.
"Welcome to."
The royal chamberlain, who was in front of the main gate of the palace, gave a polite greeting.

The Riverin royal family came from a world where despotic monarchy was taken for granted, but during the 70 years since the entire country moved to Earth, they introduced a constitutional monarchy in line with the powerful nations of Earth.
Due to exchanges with the countries of the Earth, people who have doubts about the tyranny appear, and even before the dimension shift, the Riverin Kingdom began to have a fever for education, so it did not take long for the intellectual class to be created on a large scale.
Now, Royus, the king of the Riverin family, entrusts real power to the cabinet and prime minister, but he still had some power at the royal level.
First of all, the Riverin Royal Guild, run by the Riverin Royal Family, was also one of them.
Apart from the Royal Guild, the Royal Knights were also running, and all of them were Magical Awakeners.
Although the Kingdom of Riverin, which was interested in the weapon system of the earth and succeeded in training its army by accepting the science and technology of the earth, was an island country, it had a navy and an air force at the center, but it had a fairly solid naval and air power through exchanges with Western countries. .
However, the core business of the Kingdom of Liberin was, of course, for the Magic Awakeners, and among them, Artifacts also occupied a significant share.
It was related to this that I invited Levia, the president of Yuchun Artifact, today.
"President Levia and the successor of the Yuchun Group. Welcome. We welcome you, the guests of our kingdom, in the name of the King of the Riverin Kingdom."
As it was her royal family's invitation, Levia, who only confirmed her identity, and as Levia's guarantee, Lee, who is believed to be the successor of the Yuchun Group, who attended this event with her, came inside.
Inside, figures from the royal family, including King Loius and Princess Arya, who turned 18 this year, were gathered under the iron guard of the Royal Knights.
"Praying for glory to the King of the Riverin Kingdom, Levia, president of Yuchun Artifact, salutes you."
Beside Levia, who put her hands together and bowed politely, a man wearing her hood and a mask said to Levia.
"I greet His Majesty the King of Riverin Kingdom as the representative of Yuchun Group."
At the word "Representative," King Loius looked at Levia without realizing it.
But Levia's expression of no embarrassment on her part only confirmed the fact that she, too, knew he was going to say this.
"This…Is unexpected. Even though he is the successor, is he already in a position to represent the Yuchun Group?"
Unlike the kings of the long history of the earth, the man wearing a mask nodded his head at the words of King Loius, who asked an honest and direct question.
"Yes. It may seem rude to His Majesty the King, but please understand that I cannot take off my mask right now."
