“Y-Your Majesty?” The surprised Lucia carefully asked Kang Chul-In. 

“I don’t understand why you tore….” 

“Security reasons.” 

Kang Chul-In gave her an absurd reason to justify his actions. 

“This may indeed be our own base, but we can never afford to be neglectful of security if we aim to conquer the whole of Pangea!”  

“…”

“This applies to all of you as well. Make security protection a daily activity, you hear me?” 

The officers of Laputa were confused, but they replied to him nonetheless. 

“Y-yes, your Majesty…” 

No matter the explanation Kang Chul-In was giving them, for him to tear the message was something out of ordinary. 

 Ninetails, at this time… I shall keep quiet for now. 

Kang Chul-In decided not to reveal the existence of Ninetails, regardless of how confused his subordinates were. 

It was definitely not an act to avoid her. 

He had already made up his mind to have an arranged marriage to achieve his goals. He thus had no intention of avoiding Ninetails. 

However, now was not the time to distract his soldiers with such a topic.

Therefore, he made a call to keep things hidden until the war was over. 

“Ahem.” Kang Chul-In...
