Chapter 339 (1/2)

Helena sighed and touched her forehead. Anyone who saw it would call it disrespectful, but I had no intention of acting superior to people just because I was king. It had been a long time since I cared about things such as other people’s rudeness toward me.

“It is time to get ready.”

“It is already that time?”

I slowly opened my eyes. I didn’t want to go. I wanted to use the massage chair a bit more. No, I wanted to sit on the massage throne. Uhu, so refreshing. I seemed relaxed from my head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes. “Ah, I want to stay here a bit longer.”

“No. You have to go. You are the king of this kingdom.”

“Groan. I didn’t think much of it. I was forced to accept the position. Can’t you just be the ruler?”

I dug at my ears as Helena’s nagging followed.

“What are you talking about? Get up quickly. Right now, all the people are gathering to look at Your Majesty. Yet you say you aren’t going to do it?!”

“Ah, you nag too much.”

Over the past period of time, the people of the Atlan Kingdom had constantly increased. The things I had done so far had become a hot topic among the common people and players. The uploaded videos spread through SNS and people from all over the world gathered. Fortunately, Helena was filled with foresight and expanded it to a city ahead of schedule. Therefore, security was well-maintained. Rather, there were a few cases where users stepped forward to maintain security and gain contributions.

In any case, I happened to rise to this position. It was because some people started calling me His Majesty. This spread among the people and everyone started calling me that way.

“Additionally, can you stop cooking so much? Your Majesty’s dignity...”

“That isn’t possible.” I stood up slowly from the massage throne while firmly drawing a line. Then I turned to Helena. “I am a Weather Chef. It is my symbol. That is the one thing I can never give up. Don’t try to stop my hobbies.”

Due to my assertiveness, Helena stepped back and sighed. “Hah, understood. Still, please agree to only do it once a week. Haven’t you been continuing to make it in the meantime? It is very huge as well. Do you know how hard it is to clean up the remnants of the building? The buildings that had been destroyed so far...!”

“Sigh, I’ll be careful.”

As the nagging continued, I immediately interrupted her. In the meantime, I had been using Weather Cooking to cook various dishes. It was like experimenting. It was because I also learned the magic of the dokkaebis.

The magic could make anything big and I used it in my weather dishes. However, I was so inexperienced and it grew so large that it broke a few buildings. The food was given to the people who gathered and there was no waste, but a large amount of money was lost through extensive renovations. The people misunderstood and praised me for being a king who generously offered food.

Meanwhile, I was scolded by Helena behind the scenes.

“If you keep being like this, I will talk to Great Magician Park Maksun...!”

“I’ll go first.”

I used a moonwalk for the first time in ages to leave the room.

I left the room and strolled through the palace in a slightly different outfit than usual. It wasn’t the Belphegor cooking suit made by Drain. It was a dignified, kingly appearance. The clothes I was wearing now were made by Drain to celebrate my ascension as a king. I wore a simple gold crown and slowly descended the stairs of the palace.

Next to me, Helena was following me like an attendant. I was descending when I suddenly heard a laugh. “Puhahaha! What is that appearance?! Uhahaha!”

I moved my gaze to the place where the sound was heard and I couldn’t help frowning. It was because Park Muyeol was pointing at me and laughing.

“...Don’t laugh, you rotten guy. I know it doesn’t suit me either.”

“Puhuhu! Kukukukuk!” Even so, Park Muyeol kept laughing while holding his belly.

I couldn’t help sighing while behind me, Helena was angry and rebuked Park Muyeol, “What insolence is this before His Majesty? No matter how much His Majesty hates politeness, you should maintain your dignity!”

“Ahum!”

I saw Park Muyeol, who couldn’t move in front of Helena, and couldn’t help swallowing back my complaints. Shortly after I became king, Helena often lectured people like she was a strict mother. I was the one who was scolded the most.

“Grandfather!” Then I heard a familiar voice and someone quickly walked over. It was Mido who was wearing a gorgeous dress.

“Princess.” Helena bowed politely to Mido.

“Ah, hello, Helena.” Mido also bowed politely to Helena. In fact, Helena’s status meant she didn’t need to be so polite to Mido. It was because Helena was...

“Your Majesty.”

I turned my head again. Standing there was Aren, who had recently become the Merchant King of Fortren.

“Welcome. You became the Merchant King not long ago? Congratulations.”
