33. Opening Gate

+++

 

 

 

 

After Ludmilla crossed over to Earth and the existence of another world was proven, the world began to release various related articles.

Among them were Ludmilla’s activities, and her radiant beauty and the dignity befitting a queen, which were more than enough to appeal to Earthlings, became a hot topic, attracting people’s attention.

 

 

“That is what they call a ‘car’.”

“Wow. I’ve heard about them often while studying, but this is my first time seeing one in person.”

During her stay in Gangnam, she spent most of her time exploring.

It was a preliminary preparation to directly experience how different her homeland was from the civilization of Earth, what the kingdom needed immediately, and how to bring it in and operate it.

 

 

 

She was most interested in transportation.

It was no exaggeration to say that logistics were the core of all civilization, so it was a natural reaction as the queen of a nation.

 

 

 

 

“To be that fast with pure technology…”

“What you’re seeing now is an F1 racing car. It’s designed with speed as the main focus, so it’s quite fast. The cars that ordinary people use are much slower than that, and the actual speed they reach is about one-fifth of that.”

“Still, it can’t compare to a horse-drawn carriage, right?”

“Of course.”

 

Her dedicated court lady dispatched from the palace and a Ministry of Culture and Tourism official dispatched by the Korean government kindly explained her various questions.

 

 

She listened to almost a lecture format on the types of cars according to their purpose, the qualifications for operating them, and the infrastructure and related knowledge needed to integrate cars into society on a national level.

 

 

Ludmilla listened carefully to everything, even taking notes.

This was because it was one of the technologies that would most greatly change the Reisel Kingdom.

 

 

 

 

 

After experiencing Earth’s civilization, she went through a consultation process with the [Business Department] personnel, including Yuna.

It was a consultation mainly to prioritize the technologies and civilization to be introduced to the other world and to decide through which route to advance.

 

 

 

 

“As you’ve heard, the social conditions for operating cars are quite demanding. Well-paved roads, gas stations, repair shops, and so on. There’s quite a lot just to mention here. Of course, it’s almost impossible to use them in the current Reisel Kingdom.”

 

Yuna smoothly pushed up her rimless glasses, which she had bought a few days ago.

They were fashion glasses she had prepared after being appointed as the [Head of the Business Department].

 

 

She didn’t always wear them, but she mainly used them when holding meetings with government officials or the like.

She said it was to look like someone with knowledge befitting the position, but it was questionable whether it was effective.

 

“First, you should build a large road connecting the main cities, including the royal capital, and try operating them only in limited areas such as intercity logistics, and it would be good to solve any problems that arise later through close discussions with us. Honestly, I’m a modern person, so cars are too natural to me.”

“Does the Empire (Harem Palace) also make cars?”

“Harem Motors, under the Harem Group, does make them, but it’s not a global company. They are only used in a limited way within the palace, and even then, Ah-heuk’s clones usually replace them, so it’s not a very outstanding company. But if it’s a place like the Reisel Kingdom that’s introducing cars for the first time, those points wouldn’t matter so much.”

Rather than promoting a company within the group, it was an honest answer.

 

In the first place, the Harem Group itself was only earning profits from the enormous amount of dungeon byproducts from the Harem Palace maids and the taxes and protection money collected from conquered territories such as Gangnam City and Tokyo City, and the company’s technological prowess itself was not very good.

 

Of course, this would be a completely different story if they started to properly cooperate with the [Imperial Science and Technology Department] of the palace, but until now, the palace’s technology remained the palace’s technology and had not yet extended to the group.

 

 

“Still, it’s the Empire, so it will have the best technology over time. If a related company is under the palace, I think it’s better to partner with that company.”

 

Ludmilla also didn’t know the details, but she was convinced that the Harem Palace would one day be the best in all aspects, so she wanted to interact with the Harem Group affiliates, setting aside all the other companies (which she didn’t know well).

 

 

“I have already established a distribution company owned by the royal family in my home country. I would like to register the trademark here as well, would you help me?”

“Of course. The Korean government will also help. Ah, and the selection of Korean companies will take quite a while. You’ll have to stay for at least a month, would that be alright?”

“I’ve entrusted the national administration to a trustworthy person. And in case of emergency, the Imperial territory of Larnar will help, so there won’t be any major problems.”

She had also received protection from Han Sarang, but she would be in the middle of a conquest war, so she was excluded.

Still, it was half a colony of the Empire, so the safety of the country itself was certain.

“You take the Hyesung Group.”

“…?”

 

Kang Sehee, who was walking slightly behind Yu-eun, expressed her question at the sudden words.

 

 

“Use this opportunity to get rid of your grandfather and take over the company. And get designated as the Korean ‘Otherworld Trade Permitted Group’ and advance into the other world.”

 

 

She roughly understood the following words, but she couldn’t erase the absurd feeling.

 

 

“…Hey, do you think Hyesung Group is some neighborhood supermarket?”

“Uh-huh. When the Master-nim tells you to do something, just do it. Why do you have so much to say?”

“You fucking have to order something that makes sense, you idiot. Do you think shares exist for no reason? Even if you combine my grandfather’s and my shares, it’ll barely be 15%. Like I’ll be able to take it over.”

 

It was an arrogant tone that Seo Hyun would have immediately delivered a gut punch for.

But she was a woman who knew how to discern things to some extent.

She was very disrespectful to Yu-eun, but she showed a subservient attitude as much as possible when Seo Hyun was around.

 

In other words, she was a cunning bitch.

 

 

It had been quite some time since she became a maid, albeit forcibly, and as time had passed since Unhyun’s death, her loyalty to Yu-eun had reached 100. Her affection was also exceeding 50 from the level of hatred.

Thanks to this, Yu-eun was in a situation where she overlooked her cursing to some extent.

 

Of course, she would be merciless if Seo Hyun caught her. Wasn’t ‘that’ Lieutenant Colonel Eun barging into the Gangnam Police Station to forcibly bring her in? That’s how much Yu-eun was giving power to Seo Hyun.

 

 

“Oh. So you’ll follow if it’s an order that makes sense? Our Sehee-jjang has become nice?”

“…I should have kept my mouth shut.”

“Well, shares are just something you get transferred, right? Just go and say it. Tell them to hand over all the shares you have. Then they’ll kindly hand them over, right?”

“….”

 

 

It was absurd, but it was truly frightening that it might be possible.

 

The story that Kang Sehee, the granddaughter of the chairman of Hyesung Group, had entered as Yu-eun’s concubine was already famous. Ordinary people didn’t know at all, but it was something that people in the political and business world knew well.

Moreover, people related to Hyesung Group couldn’t not know.

 

 

In that situation, if Sehee went to them and asked for shares, how many people would be able to refuse?

 

 

Yu-eun had destroyed even the giant country of China in one morning, so there was no way an individual businessman could handle it.

Rather, they might try to get in line, thinking about the enormous vested interests that Yu-eun had.

 

 

“What does that even mean? You already have plenty of companies anyway.”

“Tsk tsk tsk.”

 

At Sehee’s words, Yu-eun shook her finger from side to side with a pathetic face.

To be ignored by Yu-eun, who was clearly the most foolish. A blood vessel mark of anger popped out on her temple, but Yu-eun didn’t care.

 

 

“You idiot. Breasts are pretty and appetizing because there are two of them.”

“…What?”

 

Yu-eun, who didn’t understand, was fondling her breasts with both hands.

The breasts hidden under the sophisticated suit were squished softly.

 

 

“In other words, the right breast is the Harem Group and the left breast is the Hyesung Group.”

“What are you…no, I don’t understand what you’re saying at all. Master-nim.”

 

 

She was about to swear, but she hurriedly changed her tone after seeing Seo Hyun walking down the hallway over there.

She even changed her expression and subtly pushed out her chest so that Yu-eun could touch her breasts as much as she wanted.

 

 

“Master-nim.”

“Oh, you’re here?”

 

She had been Yu-eun’s secretary but hadn’t been by her side, but the unprecedented plan to turn all of China into the Bojinia Kingdom was almost over.

There were former Chinese leaders among the Bojinia people, so if she left the situation to them, they would take care of it on their own.

 

Now she could focus on her work as a ‘secretary’ without much difficulty.

 

 

“Hey, she doesn’t believe what I say.”

 

Yu-eun still fondled Sehee’s breasts and said playful words.

 

 

“W-what…are you saying, Master-nim…”

Sehee denied with trembling eyes.

To say such a thing in front of the worst crazy bitch. She was clearly messing with her.

 

“Hmm…then education…”

 

Seo Hyun looked at Sehee with a dissatisfied face and mentioned ‘education’.

Then Sehee’s face turned pale.

 

The notoriety of the education supervised by Seo Hyun was unknowingly spreading among the maids and had become an object of vague fear.

Thanks to this, she was also doing this ridiculous subservience play.

 

 

“It’s okay. What education? Then who will be my cum dumpster? Just make the ones who are a bit serious do it. Right? Sehee-jjang.”

“Y-yes…how could you educate a loyal subject like me…”

“Hehehe.”

 

Yu-eun gave a sly smile.

 

 

“Sehee listens to me well.”

“….”

 

 

Sehee closed her mouth with an ominous feeling.

 

 

“Um. Come to think of it, I heard that Kang Sehee-ssi’s mother is quite a beauty.”

“Oh?”
