Regressor Instruction Manual (PART 1)

Chapter 125: Soul mate (2)

That was the only way I could express this situation.

After Lee Jihye's grand speech, the guards ran off to find their superiors.

Unsurprisingly, she laughed and turned back to me.

"Well then. Shall we tell each other what we've been thinking? I think you've just noticed it... Is the answer a little easy?"

"Yes."

"When I count to two, we will speak at the same time."

"One, two."

"Safety is the priority."

"Safety is the priority."

"It worked. You know that the public's opinion of us is not very good, right?"

"Of course."

"The first thing we need to do is to get Juliana back. Aren't you the victim? actually think it might be quite difficult to retrieve it. As the next best thing, it would be better to get help from a powerful person from the Holy Empire..."

"Victor Hart."

"Is he someone you know?"

"He is close to Hee-ra. I don't know exactly, but he seems like the type of person who would feel sad if he were to be the second in the Holy Empire. With just this guy, we can get what we want. No, he'll be more than enough."

Of course, what Lee Jihye and I wanted was not simply safety. What we really wanted was...

'To overturn public opinion.'

That was the first goal.

Changes came even with the littlest things.

Public opinion was concentrated in the royal castle due to the sudden murder case. Knowing that I was being held in custody by guards was not very pleasant news.

'However...

Everything would change when the perception that I was being protected would spread, not by the guards, but by Victor Hart, one of the Empire's best.

This was my only option, but it would be enough to flip the tables.

"That's because it is you whose life is threatened."

"Since I'm in a very dangerous situation, I can't help it. It would be effective to be protected by a Mercenary Queen or a shaman, but it would be better if my protector came from the side of the Holy Empire. I don't know when Yamato's assassin will come, so it would be better to use that as an excuse."

"Do you intend to touch Lindel too?"

"That's correct."

"If you use the press, it's not hard to even develop anti-Japanese sentiment However, what you're planning worries me."

"The Yamato Guild, who was the main culprit in the Lindel terrorist incident, persecuted and threatened the guiltless Blue guild member Lee Kiyoung. In the process, an unavoidable incident occurred, and the victim, who had been condemned, went on the verge of being tried. I think that'll be fine. If you want it said in a more provocative manner, an innocent Korean would be in danger of climbing the guillotine. How about putting it like that?"

"That's not so bad. However, the reactions will be big. You know that, right?"

"Sure, that's what I've been aiming for in the first place. If you punish me, you will soon be punishing Lindel."

"And thus, the Holy Empire, who prefers avoiding trouble, won't dare mess with you. You take care of your life properly. I like that, but..."

"You have a strange taste for men."
