Come Here, Tyrant! - Chapter 153
unedited
Robbie doesn’t like romance fantasy.
Had it not been for his younger sister, he would never have read the book ‘The Star of Porcaus’.
[ahh i’m sorry if i ever put Robbie’s younger sibling as a male, because they only used 동생 instead of 여동생, it was a bit vague }.{)
So, let alone empathizing with the characters or the narrative, he could not remember all the contents. It was just one of those books to him.
However, the place where he kept his younger sister’s book, like memorabilia, was Robbie’s room, his bookshelf. He didn’t want to increase his parents’ tears for nothing.
Looking at the book, he had some interest in the royal family of Porcaus, whom his younger sister loved. It was just a nonsensical fact that the name was Porcaus.
‘…. What kind of dead flag did this girl do?’
His younger sister passed away before she could really taste the taste of alcohol. After entering the world created by his younger sister, he became angry, but he got used to it to some extent.
But the second and third deaths happened in succession. Ejed’s parents closed their eyes, and Robbie was half-mesmerized.
As he took care of the young Ejed, he made a promise. He said he would never let Ejed die.
In the meantime, he has been living with an anxious mind, as if he were looking at a child he had put near the water.
(*an idiom of being in danger, because a child without parents near water is in danger)
But that promise ends today.
Robbie grinned bitterly as he quenched his throat with the last bottle of liquor.
‘Okay…. It’s the life you choose, so do it yourself.
Life has no right answer. If two people want even a brief happiness, that will be the answer for both of them.
He was relieved yet disappointed. Now he had given up on his stubbornness.
To those who have left they may feel injustice and suffering, but those who remain are the ones who are just that lonely.
Robbie has always been the latter. Either here or elsewhere.
‘I let out the trash…… I’m done with the story now.”
Robbie emptied even the last drop as he pondered the list again today with Doher.
For some reason, he was more drunk than usual, so he sighed and staggered onto the bed.
Ding/Ting.
The hazy mind is slowly fading away.
He remembered a familiar voice a long time ago.
[Brother, do you know that? The trend these days ]
[ I do not know. ]
[Ugh, I’ll tell you. Readers these days don’t look at (sweet potatoes) [so this is actually an idiom from the word sweet potato 고구마 that means feeling impatient or frustrated, stems from the feeling when you eat sweet potato with no water] . Do you have anything else to play with? ]
[ Brother died because he couldn’t, so why is it my fault? ]
[You really! ]
His sister mumbled after that saying he had to change his settings. She who usually visits him saying she needed an idea meeting, reflected on the words she actually had spat out when she came to see him.
Robbie thought it would be the same this time too. And, his sister had spit out words he should not have forgotten.
[In a world as stuffy as sweet potatoes, a curse once in 100 years is not enough? ]
[Oh, don’t bother and go. ]
[If there’s too many deads, I’ll feel sorry for the Porkaus kids. ]
“…what idiot.”
Robbie, waking up from the dream, muttered with a disappointed expression. How could he forget about this?
Robbie’s feelings became dirty beyond expression. It was his feelings for himself the most.
‘Oh, you stupid bastard.’
Every time he cursed at Fiz, it was he who was the fool. Robbie covered his throbbing head with both hands.
‘You harassed someone for no reason…..’
Regret and self-reflection were very quick.
***
He quickly got dressed and ran somewhere.
Early in the morning, the cooks of the Imperial Palace were very busy. They were asked by Robbie for the first time in the history of Porcaus.
It was also an oracle.
[Hey, grab some cows. ]
[Cows… .what do you mean? ]
Looking at him bewildered, Robbie made an impression saying that it was an oracle. Then he ordered that he cook the world’s most delicious beef tenderloin so that the entire palace could eat it.
The Imperial Palace kitchen was overturned. It was unusual for Robbie to directly place such an order, and it was unreasonable to cook a dish for the entire royal palace.
But the oldest head chef comforted his juniors, saying that nothing is impossible.
A war out of nowhere in the Imperial Kitchen has begun. Meanwhile, it was the members of the imperial family who were excited by the news.
In particular, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was outraged.
They were all delighted by the rumor that a special dish that could be tasted during festivals was served.
Except for Annie.
“…Is he going to issue another strange oracle to trouble His Majesty?”
Her hand gripped the parchment on the desk, and her strength crept into it. In the meantime, looking at Robbie’s appearance, it looks like there is something up his sleeve.
Otherwise, how could a party be held using the oracle as an excuse?
It was also very suspicious that he was making additional oracle announcements.
Robbie, who she had already lost her trust, was her number one target of vigilance.
‘I can’t. I’ll have to go see His Majesty for lunch.’
