Civil Servant in a Romance Fantasy

Going to Islands and Being a Beast – 1

I entered the Mage Tower after preparing myself, but I felt the urge to leave right away. When I stepped into the lobby, the eyes of the nearby wizards were all at once. I was honestly a little scared.

And I don’t know how the heck he knew it.

“Director of Inspection!”

Even while calling me anxiously.

I’m afraid. Although he is young compared to Prince Mahjong, he is a veteran old magician by human standards. Boupapju is characterized by elegance and quietness befitting its age. Such a sub-top owner hurriedly ran in front of others.

‘It’s ruined.’

I instinctively sensed it when I saw it. An emergency situation to the point where the second person in the Magic Tower loses face.

Of course, the immortal number one is in an abnormal state.

“It’s been a while, Vice Top.”

“Yes, it’s been a while. Now, let’s talk as we go.”

Despite my greetings, the sub-tap owner hurriedly guided the way, refusing to accept.

The more I did, the louder my instincts shouted. Ma Jong-gong’s condition is not really normal.

“…How are you, His Excellency?”

It hurts less when you know how to sell. When I carefully asked about Ma Jong-gong’s condition, the sub-top owner looked at me with eyes that said you were good.

It’s unfortunate. My only crime is to soothe a lady who was consumed by a sense of shame.

“Because of the interesting news I’ve heard lately, His Excellency isn’t able to concentrate on spirit work either.”

I tried to wrap it up, but I heard a failed answer. That’s right, I can’t even see the work properly.

I gently closed my eyes. If that calm and self-paced Ma Jong-gong is in such a state of rage that he can’t even do his job, how hot hellfire would he have in his heart?

“It’s a pity that His Excellency’s heart has become dizzy.”

If I had known it would be like this, I would have gone to Jedo right away when Hyeongyeong Gong said. After procrastinating and procrastinating for nothing, it ended up stimulating only Jong-gong Ma, who is holding on.

Of course, I don’t regret giving the ring to Marghetta, but if the order was right, things like this wouldn’t have happened.

‘I don’t need to do this.’

Actually, the confession was made one-sidedly by Prince Majong, and he doesn’t even know why he likes me. Prince Ma Jong also said that he would wait until the New Year’s ceremony, so I don’t have to worry about it.

Still, isn’t there a lot of consideration from Prince Ma Jong? Although it’s true that it’s awkward and embarrassing after the confession, it doesn’t mean that the favor you’ve received will disappear.

Besides, I’m afraid of what will happen if the duke is crooked.

“It’s not as serious as the Inspector General’s worries.”

As I was trying to imagine the darkened Prince Majong, I heard an unexpected answer.

‘Isn’t that enough to worry about?’

But isn’t it serious enough that the work doesn’t go smoothly?

Seeing my eyes like that, the deputy head sighed a little and shook his head.

“The tower owner spends a lot of time absent-mindedly these days. He bumps into walls while walking and often loses documents.”

“Yes?”

What is that? It’s a symptom that doesn’t matter if you just listen.

“Sometimes he would spill the inkwell, and he would cast spells while chanting.”

“Is that so…”

“Yes. It’s a trivial thing, but it was the first time the tower owner showed such an appearance.”

He blankly nodded his head at the dejected smile of the deputy chief.

‘It’s insignificant.’

It’s too trivial. I imagined a scene where cold air blows through the entire magic tower, or a scene where an angry demon servant overturns everything.

But after hearing the testimony of the deputy chief, it’s not really as serious as I’m worried about. In the first place, rather than anger, it feels more like sulkiness. The clutter in the magic tower is also confusion about the boss who is showing a different side rather than shrinking from the boss who is angry.

‘It’s better than I thought.’

Still, thanks to that, I found a way out. If Ma Jong-gong is not in a state of anger, but just in a state of dejection, it is easy to deal with. It’s enough to soothe the sullen Ma Jong-gong and hang out with him.

– Nephew. If you feel like you’re being dragged by Ma Jong-gong, stab him first. Then you’ll be happy.

And then I remembered the advice Hyungyeonggong gave me in the past.

I’ll admit it’s already too late. It’s the fastest way to give advice when you hear it.

But it is not irreversibly too late. It won’t be 100% effective, but it will work 60 or 70%.

‘First stab.’

I didn’t see it until the light fell on my foot. That way is the only and best way.

Majonggong overwhelms with his status and age. Under normal circumstances, I have no choice but to be dragged around.

‘This is not a normal situation.’

I don’t know why, I really don’t know, but it’s a situation where Ma Jong-gong has a crush on me. On the other hand, I have never given a specific answer to Ma Jong-gong.

That I have a weapon in my hand that can overturn the current hierarchical relationship.

…Using love is a lot like an asshole, but shouldn’t you have this much advantage to deal with a duke?

“I’ll just go. The tower owner has defeated everyone else.”

When we arrived in front of the pagoda’s room, the deputy pagoda owner said so and quickly went back. As if he didn’t want to see blood for nothing.

Looking at that, I felt a little bit uneasy.

‘It’s okay, right?’

Obviously, the deputy chief said it wasn’t as serious as he was concerned. I don’t think Butapju would have lied, but seeing him avoid it like that makes him uneasy.

No, let’s trust the sub-tap owner. Could it be that a nobleman who was the second-in-command of the Magic Tower lied to a young guy for a long time?

‘Poke.’

I took a deep breath and grabbed the doorknob of the main room.

I stab first, I stab first. You have to overwhelm Ma Jong-gong and lead the atmosphere.

“Your Excellency, I’m going in.”

As part of that, he opened the door without knocking.

Actually, I still don’t know what stabbing is, but let’s bump into it.

Even if you look at it like this, isn’t it a relationship with Hyungyeonggong through genealogy? A piece of that wisdom will be there for me too.

Hyeonmyeonggong, give me strength!

It’s not blood related, but please!

***

Lately, I feel lethargic and my head is blank. It’s the first time since my parents died.

I know why. I’m not so ignorant that I don’t even know that much.

‘Ring.’

I inadvertently looked at his left hand. Of course, that doesn’t mean that nothing happened.

A hand without any ornaments. A flat, unremarkable hand.

‘…The ring.’

A word that keeps running around in my head. The first time I heard the news, the words I can’t forget until now.

‘I’m envious.’

That was all I could think of. Envy. I envy Princess Marghetta more than anyone else in the world.

How does it feel to receive a ring from a baby? I can’t compare it to any happiness.

I’m so envious. I want to run to my baby right now and put my hand out. I want to hang around the neighborhood asking me to fit in too.

But I couldn’t.

‘Are we not in a relationship yet?’

I bit my lip slightly. Yes, unlike my overflowing love, my baby and I have no relationship yet.

I haven’t heard from Aga yet. I also wanted to wait until the New Year’s ceremony so that my baby could organize her thoughts, so I didn’t even press for an answer.

So I don’t deserve a ring from my baby.

‘Did you say you were waiting for nothing?’

On the day I showed my heart to my baby, it might have been better if I had pushed on.

However, he quickly shook his head and brushed the thought away. No, not that way. If that was the case, the baby would have just been confused. I couldn’t have given you the right answer.

Yes, it must have been. So it was the right choice for me to take my time, take my time and separate from my baby.

‘It was a choice for my baby.’

I tried so hard to comfort myself. That it was a choice for the baby, not for anything else.

Still, I couldn’t hide my sad feelings. It’s sad to simply not be able to see her, even more so to hear that she gave her ring to another woman.

If I could at least see my baby, it would soothe my heart a little.

“Your Excellency, I’m going in.”

I guess…?

“It’s been a while, sir.”

A door that suddenly opens, followed by a greeting. I only blinked my eyes at what happened in an instant.

Confused. This is the first time that door has been opened without my permission. Besides, a person who couldn’t be here right now is right in front of her eyes.

A situation in which the head cannot comprehend what the eyes see. Aga said with a slight smile when he didn’t say anything in the confusion.

“Did I interrupt you? If so, get out again—”

“No, no.”

I woke up late.

You can come anytime if you are a baby. Even if you come when you are busy, there is no problem because you can cheer up after seeing your baby.

“It’s fortunate. I took the time to come, but if your Excellency were busy, he would have been disappointed.”

When she saw the baby laughing casually, she felt a sense of shame. I was anxious to see my baby even for a moment.

Still, knowing my feelings and coming personally, I felt even more happy.

“If I want to have the same feelings as your Excellency, shouldn’t I see it often?”

But her words froze her head.

“They say love is the process of getting to know each other.”

Her head went blank in a different way than before.

I can’t come to my senses. Since Aga appeared, he has been pushed unilaterally by Aga.

“Even the deputy chief was very worried about your Excellency. He seems to be suffering from fatigue these days. I also think that His Excellency will be hurt if things go wrong.”

Unlike usual, the baby takes the lead in bringing up the topic.

“It may be of no use to Your Excellency, but it is my lack of sincerity.”

A baby takes out a white comb and hands it as a gift.

“Please don’t speculate. Isn’t this much a big deal between us?”

A smirk that a baby would never say.

Confused. It would be embarrassing to go through just one, but I can’t even breathe properly and I’m going through one after another.

I couldn’t even open my mouth properly. All I could do was answer the baby’s words, nod my head. Every time I do that, Aga digs into that gap and says something sweeter and more embarrassing.

In a way, it is to scorn the duke. It may be regarded as mocking the duke, but—

‘Rather good.’

I was even more excited to see this kind of baby. It was because the way he treated the duke casually felt like the duke’s companion.

I tried my best to suppress the corner of my mouth that kept going up. Even when she tried to open her mouth to take the initiative in the conversation, her heart refused. I was afraid that I would never feel this happiness again after turning this situation upside down.

“It’s nice that you came to say hello. If I had waited until the New Year’s ceremony, I think I would have been lonely not having seen you all this time.”

“That’s it?”

When I saw the baby smiling, the corners of my mouth went up.

***

From today, Hyungyeonggong and I are two but one. As expected, the unfortunate drunkenness of Hyungyeonggong is obviously Enen’s debuff to suppress wiseness.

It’s been an hour since I stepped into the tower’s owner’s room. I was able to lead the conversation without any problems.

– Nephew. If you feel like you’re being dragged by Ma Jong-gong, stab him first. Then you’ll be happy.

‘It was real.’

I’m not sure if what I’m doing is stabbing, but I’m sure it works.

Because Prince Majong has only been able to answer my words since earlier. Who would think that this person is the symbol of wisdom, Majonggong?

“It’s already this time.”

Now that we have confirmed satisfactory results, let’s close the game. He can’t stay in the island forever.

“I just need to go back.”

“Ah, that’s right. It’s already time…”

Majonggong’s ears, which had been flapping nonstop, went down helplessly.

“Then I’ll see you again soon. Compared to your Excellency’s time, my time is short, so I’ll see you as much as possible.”

At that appearance, he said with a small smile. I was able to be sure when I saw Ma Jong-gong today. While I’m organizing my thoughts about Jong-Gong Ma’s confession, I won’t get caught up in Gong-Ma’s pace and struggle.

Then it’s not difficult to see Majonggong. Rather, I build affection by watching it often, and then it will be more helpful in my choice.

“You don’t have to worry about that. My baby’s time will be the same as mine.”

Ma Jong-gong listened to my words again and opened his mouth with a slightly reddened face.

But what are you talking about? Are you like me?

‘…Do mixed bloods have a short lifespan?’

I even heard that thought for a moment. If it wasn’t for that, there’s no way that I and Majonggong’s time would be the same.

“Even a baby will be able to live for hundreds of years after 40 years.”

…?

Majonggong still speaks with a flushed face.

However, my head cooled down rapidly unlike Jong-gong Ma’s face.

“Your Excellency.”

I was startled even with my mouth open. Even when I listened, my voice was so subdued.

I still can’t stop. This is something you need to check

“Well, what do you mean?”

I live hundreds of years, what kind of bullsh*t is that?
