Image, laundry.

It is obvious, but washing one’s image in any story is never a good thing.

When it comes to writing genre novels, there is one famous saying.

-A rag is still a rag no matter how cleanly you wash it.

What does it mean?

Once something is dirty, no matter how cleanly it is washed and washed, the ‘history’ of it being dirty does not change.

Even if you go back in time and go back to before you became a rag, the concept of ‘the world line that was like that’ will already be observed and remain in someone’s memory.

thus.

Once an image is damaged, it is not easy to recover.

Even though the goblin is called Dohwang and is popular with people, many people still think of the goblin as a villain.

-Goblin is trying to rule Korea! Why don’t you know that!

A conspiracy theorist or something.

-I hate goblins. My family was murdered by that guy. …Are you saying that the goblin executed the devil who killed people? So what!

Even though he was a villain, his family was murdered.

-If it weren’t for the goblin, I could have lived off of community work while receiving 500 per month after tax! Ugh, yeah yeah! going!!

They are people who lived by sucking the warm honey of the sun’s shade, but can no longer suck that honey.

or.

-If it weren’t for goblins, I would have been able to get S-class female heroes to marry my son! Damn goblin! How dare you know the lawmaker?!

These are people who think that women have been NTR’d by goblins.

Just as a wise man once said, ‘Out of five people, one of them is trash,’ no matter how much of a villain executioner the goblin is and tries to do good things for as many people as possible, there are definitely people who don’t like him.

The same goes for Taejo.

No matter how much Taejo had a dual personality and a shocking past, that past is a matter that only a very few people know about.

-Wow, I can’t believe Jammin Armored Taejo has matured so much.

-But you did all kinds of crazy things in the name of being the president’s grandson, right? When I think of the time I was put on standby for 5 minutes in Gangneung because of that stupid human behavior…

-But you developed a supercircular conductor.

-Does developing that one thing change the past when he did something like that? huh?

King Taejo has no choice but to live forever with the image of the days when he was the Armored King.

-Is it because you learned your senses while dealing with Taejo, an artificial intelligence created by the organization? You know that even if the perpetrator of school violence has reformed, the past is not erased.

but.

-Do you want me to understand because it was an accident I had when I was young? Nope? If you want understanding, you have to clearly show that you are taking responsibility. is not it?

In the end, the past is also a problem that one must accept.

King Taejo must take responsibility for his foolish actions.

“Polygamy begins with King Taejo. Taejo takes responsibility for the countless women he has assaulted until now.”

By marriage.

* * *

March 31, 13:00, President’s Office.

“So, before you marry multiple people, you must be sure about the King Taejo.”

“Yes.”

“…….”

The president, Tae Chae-jin, sat on the sofa and covered his face with one hand.

“I believe the President is well aware of this. Also, King Taejo must be held accountable for his actions so far.”

“…Is that the responsibility of marriage?”

“I am responsible for freely going from woman to woman. Of course, there may be people who met with a light heart about the relationship between a man and a woman…”

As it was a love affair between young friends, Taejo’s relationships with the women he met so far were close to playing with fire overnight.

“Taejo may have been light-hearted, but weren’t there some people whose light encounters developed into love-pain for King Taejo?”

“Sigh….”

“I understand that the President suffered quite a headache trying to cover it up. In many ways.”

“…I had a lot of accidents during my Armored days. So much so that Irene openly hates it.”

Celebrities, models, doctors, heroes, and even the daughter of a member of the National Assembly.

“When a scandal breaks out in an entertainment magazine, people say, ‘It’s already been a week,’ because I’ve been meeting this woman so many times.”

“Do we have to consider Tae’s family genes, or was Armored Taejo just that free-spirited? Isn’t the number a bit excessive, at least to say that one has led a debauched life through image making?”

Indeed, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was Casanova.

“That too when I was a teenager.”

“…….”

“I don’t intend to make a big deal about his personal life, but-”

“I would like to clearly state that nothing like what you think happened. At least in the case of the ‘gene theft’ committed in Faegrin, wasn’t it revealed that she secretly stole it?”

“But the truth is out there, to the extent that even King Taejo himself wonders, ‘Is that so?’ ”

How did Taejo’s gene thief steal genes from Taejo?

The truth is in the dark and tangled like a complicated thread, but people often imagine extreme situations with only fragmentary information.

A young man and woman spent the night.

The woman went out alone at dawn and the man was found naked.

And some of the traces of quasi-medicinal products in the trash can and items sold at convenience stores and pharmacies had disappeared.

There really were a lot of things like that during the Armored era.

“Apart from King Taejo’s personal love, is there a woman for whom he is responsible? Not in my heart, but as a father.”

“I can say that for sure. No.”

“That’s one thing I can say is fortunate.”

If there is one thing that is truly fortunate, it is that Taejo did not become the father of a child, at least during his Armored days.

“No matter how much a high school couple is talked about publicly on TV or U-Tube, I think there will be people who trip and fall if it is the president’s grandson and an S-class hero.”

“Then….”

“You have to hit the player.”

A handsome and young S-class hero.

Well, you can just skip this.

No matter how much Armored King Taejo was a debaucher and lived as he pleased, it is not something to criticize because it is rare to find a person in this world who does not do such things.

but.

“If your status rises a few levels higher as the developer of the super-hwan conductor and the crown prince of the Great Hwan Empire, wouldn’t there also be those who have played with fire with King Taejo, one by one, distorting the past and doing things to suit their own interests?”

Since it is a being whose status has risen so high, it is inevitable that the flower snake will be caught.

“…Actually, it looks like he’s about to commit it.”

Tae Chae-jin handed me a black folder.

“Those who refuse to become the Great Hwan Empire are now preparing their final attack. Not towards me, not towards the goblin, but directly towards King Taejo.”

“The intention is to ruin it by swaying public opinion.”

Intelligence.

Top secret.

“I’m thinking of saying that I was forced to do it to King Taejo.”

They are trying to commit false accusations against King Taejo.

* * *

When someone becomes famous, people often look into the celebrity’s past.

Especially for a person whose past is already cloudy and unclean, the more he moves toward a place where he receives brighter light, the more he searches for darker and deeper shadows.

for example.

“Why are you doing this to me…!”

“Why would you do that? I didn’t call you this because you were one of the people who took the train with King Taejo to Kaesong.”

An idol is locked in an interrogation room and is being pressured by a rugged middle-aged man.

“Tell the truth. What did you do with Taejo at that time?”

“Well, what did you do…! I just…!”

“All the other members have already blown it! Did you do it with Taejo?!”

“Well, that’s personal life, hehe!!”

Ta-ang.

“If you don’t tell the truth, it will probably be dangerous in many ways. Your parents work at a rice cake factory over there in Imsil, right?”

“Well, how do you do that…?”

“You might break your finger while making rice cake, or something might go wrong due to a problem with safety equipment. Right?”

“This, this…!”

“Or, he gets shocked by his daughter’s debauched behavior and suffers a heart attack.”

“You guys…! Do you think you’ll be okay after doing this?! If I go out later and say this verbatim-”

“Say, what?”

The man pointed to the surroundings with his free wrist.

“There is no electronic equipment of any kind here. There is no CCTV and no internet nearby. There isn’t even a walkie-talkie. Damn it, I had to ride my bike for over 30 minutes to get here.”

“Ugh, uh….”

“Or how about exposing it through media articles? A four-member idol group, after a photo of them committing debauchery against King Taejo went viral on the Internet, they became pessimistic about their actions and committed suicide.”

“Ah, ah….”

“So, why did you keep the photos and videos? huh? You were also trying to threaten King Taejo with that. If King Taejo reaches a position as great as he is now, I will try to take advantage of it and secure a solid share of the position.”

“Oh, no. That’s…!”

“Give up. There is no hope. No one can come here. Taejo? haha. Right now, I’m busy enjoying dinner with researchers of special abilities coming from all over the world-”

Kwaaah!

There was a hole in the wall.

A huge drill burst through the wall, ready to swallow a person whole, and the drill split upwards and downwards, revealing a man in a black suit inside.

“You, you…!”

“I am.”

King Taejo, dressed in a black suit, extended his hand toward the woman.

“I’m here to take responsibility.”

“Ah….”

Behind him, there were members who were very scared, but were nodding their heads loudly at him.

“As an adult. As a man.”

“…….”

“And, as a patriot.”

Taejo spoke to the man in a cold voice.

“You were the aide of the person who tried to send a patriotic warrant to my sister, saying that S-class people should have many children.”

“Well, that is!”

“I’ll do whatever you want. Only.”

Taejo pointed to himself.

“I will receive that warrant.”
