I Became a Scoundrel of a Chaebol Family-Chapter 302
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Fuck... This is getting out of hand.
"But... if I just pretend I don't know, wouldn't that work? I can just order her to focus on her duties, right??"
"Knight subjugation information is updated in real-time to the central database... If there's any anomaly, it will definitely be reported."
"..."
Meaning Minji Go probably already knows.
"Did my sister contact you yet? Hand me my phone."
Kim Seo-ye slipped off the bed and brought my phone, handing it over politely.
"I think she'll send a message during the morning report."
"..."
There was no message from Go Minji.
Only a few routine reports from my secretaries and some casual greetings from family.
'Maybe she hasn't checked yet.'
I genuinely just intended to have a little taste, and yet this happened.
'So genetic transfer wasn’t just about boosting loyalty after all...'
"Ehh, whatever. What's done is done."
"..." "No choice now~. Guess I'll just keep Eun-hwa."
"..."
Anyway, I resumed moving.
I had to finish what I started.
"Ah, ahh..."
"Eun-hwa. You’ve been bound to me now."
"Ahh... m-my lord...!"
"From now on, call me your master."
"M-master...! Haaah...!"
"..."
Kim Seo-ye was staring at me like she couldn’t believe what she was seeing.
It'd been a while since I'd seen her show emotion — it was kind of refreshing.
"What?"
"...Nothing. It's nothing."
Hey
You son of a bitch
Are you out of your fucking mind??
"..."
Minji’s message hit me a little after 9 AM.
Just like Seo-ye said, it must've come after she received the morning reports.
"Tsk."
Why
Why the sudden cursing
You dumbass
You seriously think you can play dumb after what you pulled
I told you
Don't touch the knights
If you went as my substitute
You should’ve listened to me
I even assigned you a secretary because I knew you couldn’t keep your dick in your pants
And yet you couldn't even hold out a day and stuck it in
Her words were sharp, furious.
Still... at least she texted instead of calling.
If she was truly pissed, she would have called.
This was... mild rage, comparatively.
Minji curses even on a normal day.
Sis
You always treat me like a kid
Can't we just say it was like giving New Year’s money?
You're five years older than me
You’re basically like an aunt, right?
Think of it like you gave your nephew a little bonus
LOL
You fucking lunatic
It’s April and you’re crying about New Year’s money?
Plus, didn’t you say
You’d be giving me something anyway
So think of it like I just collected it early!
You bastard
You can’t even keep it in your pants
And now you have the balls to argue?
But listen
Even if she’s bound to me
If I just order her to stick to her duties
Isn’t it fine?
You really think so?
You think you can just “use and forget”?
After tasting that pussy
You swear you’ll never call her personally again?
;;
Well... that's...
Seriously, Why does Minji know me so damn well?
And besides
You idiot
Of all the knights
You had to go and fuck the one already assigned for General Commissioning
It was already finalized
Ah
Eun-hwa was assigned to be a general?
Didn't know...
My bad
You fucking moron
Minji went quiet for a moment.
Probably trying to catch her breath.
'Well... She was the top graduate after all.
Of course she would’ve been promoted to general.'
Same as Baekseol.
Baekseol only graduated early because of special circumstances, but originally, she would’ve been promoted somewhere high after finishing as top graduate.
It’s natural that Eun-hwa would be the same.
'Tch.'
No helping it now. I had to appeal to her emotions.
Minji was a psychopath, but she still cared about family... somewhat.
But sis
Honestly speaking
I’m a direct descendant of Koryo Group too
Isn’t it kind of unfair
That I only have one personal knight?
You’re walking around with entire knight squads
Lending them out like toys when you feel like it
Meanwhile I’m stuck with only Baekseol
Look at you
Immediately calling me “sis” when it’s convenient
Fucking shameless
I’m really
Feeling depressed and lonely
Then die
...
That’s not what I meant...
Isn’t that a bit cold-hearted...
Even though inside it was so nice and warm...
Fuck off
You dumbass
Minji suddenly exploded,
sending a barrage of middle fingers and rude memes.
;;
After letting it all out for a while—
Well, what’s done is done
Can't undo it now
But if you pull that shit again
You’ll really die next time
And it won’t end with just yelling
^^;;
Don’t you dare fucking smile, it pisses me off
Sis
I’ll head to Incheon
Clear my schedule for a day or so
Get lost, asshole
In the end, Minji let me off generously.
Considering I stole a general-assigned knight’s virginity, her reaction was... incredibly lenient.
I turned to Seo-ye, who was still looking worried.
"It’s all settled."
"Ah... yes..."
"From today on, Eun-hwa will probably be my personal knight. But she was supposed to get commissioned as a general... what happens now? Do they just send the runner-up?"
"...If it's a general assignment, the military would've already been informed. It'll probably involve some negotiations between the military and the Group."
"Hmm."
Definitely a big deal.
Still...
‘Now I have two personal knights.’
I unexpectedly ended up with another exclusive knight.
Truly unexpectedly.
Really.
‘And both are top graduates.’
There was Baekseol, destined to become humanity’s strongest knight, and now Eun-hwa, who started right out with a general’s commission — she was definitely an elite, too.
‘This means I can mobilize 17 knights total: two personal knights plus the 15 Minji gave me. That’s enough to run a small country.’
If I prepared personal gear and armaments for Eun-hwa, I could have her act as my left general while Baekseol was my right general.
And since they’re mine personally, it’s not like Minji could just recall them whenever she wanted.
‘It really is easier to ask forgiveness than permission.’
I was appreciating once again this universal truth when—
- Bzzz.
My phone started buzzing.
- Caller ID: Go Min-young.
"...Huh?"
...
What the hell.
Why was Go Min-young calling me now?
"..."
Had the report already reached Min-young, too?
Was it really that serious?
"Uh...ahem,"
Even if we were screwing partners, Go Min-young wasn't someone you could just brush off casually.
I hurriedly picked up the call.
"Ah, yes... Min-young, how have you been?"
...
She didn’t say a word.
The silence made my blood run cold, just when I thought I'd settled everything with Minji.
Huuuu...
Then came a long sigh.
My heart sank.
If you wanted a knight so badly, you should’ve just said so.
"Ah... well, that..."
I did say so...
To Minji...
Do I look like the kind of woman who would begrudge you a single knight?
"Huh? No, not at all."
What you just did makes me look petty. Like some pathetic woman who, despite being Vice President of Koryo Militaris and your aunt, couldn't even give her nephew one knight without throwing a tantrum.
"Nononono, I never thought that, never! I’m sorry...!"
...It sounds like you acted without thinking. Don't do that next time.
"Understood. I’m sorry."
You said her name was Eun-hwa? I'll handle the cleanup. You just keep her.
And with that, Go Min-young hung up.
"Mmm..."
It didn’t feel like she was mad because I snatched up a knight,
but more because I hadn’t told her first.
‘So complicated... Seriously...’
I immediately texted her to smooth things over.
She didn’t ignore me, and after a bit of back-and-forth, the chilly mood finally thawed.
"Whew."
I feel like I shaved ten years off my life.
++++
Eun-hwa officially became my personal knight.
Even after the graduation ceremony, the academy held another event —
a formal announcement celebrating the birth of the Knight of Muyeol.
The event was compressed due to scheduling issues, but they still kept a proper formality about it.
Everyone congratulated Eun-hwa, and she even gave a speech in front of them all.
‘It feels like she’s been chosen by the emperor or something.’
Would palace maids even be this happy after being selected by the king?
"That girl’s your second personal knight, right?"
"Yeah. She’s the same age as you, but you’re her senior. Look after her, okay?"
"Yes."
Baekseol watched Eun-hwa quietly.
No—
Maybe not quietly.
There was a faint emotion glimmering in her eyes.
"...I’m jealous of Eun-hwa."
"Huh? Why?"
"I... had a chance too."
"Huh?"
What’s she talking about, suddenly mentioning a chance?
"I had that glorious opportunity once. But at the time... I was too corrupted and resentful to truly savor it."
"Ah."
She must be talking about the early graduation ceremony that crowned her as the Knight of Muyeol.
At the time, Baekseol looked like she’d been forced to chew broken glass.
Her mood had been absolutely terrible.
"At a place where everyone celebrated me... I was cursing myself. I regret that."
Baekseol regretted that she hadn’t °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° fully embraced the joy back then.
Honestly, looking at Eun-hwa now, grinning like she owned the world —
If Baekseol later realized how glorious and meaningful that moment should’ve been, of course she would be filled with regret.
"Maybe if we could—"
I almost said maybe we could redo it, but swallowed the words.
Even if we held another ceremony, it wouldn’t be the same.
Baekseol must have sensed it too.
She smiled faintly and spoke:
"I’m sorry, my lord. I spoke too much nonsense."
"Baekseol, I’m glad I have you. I’m happy you’re by my side, even now."
"...Yes. I, too, am honored to serve you, my lord."
I should prepare something nice for her later.
