#Episode 36. Edict (1)
There were two glass chambers in the Queen’s chamber.
One of the two was empty, and the other contained a woman.
The woman was unable to move as her hands and feet were tied.
When I needed to go to the bathroom, I had to wiggle the string attached to my left side with my teeth.
Ding-ding-.
Then two men came and took the woman out and headed to the bathroom.
When I came back from the bathroom, I was locked in a glass case without any reason.
I had to eat standing up, and I had to sleep standing up.
It was the Queen’s own collection.
She captured the man and woman who were closest to her ideal type and put them in a glass case.
It’s really just for viewing.
And the glass case on the men’s side was empty.
“Why are you doing this?”
Sebeom, who was sitting on a chair, asked.
The queen was lying on a luxurious bed.
The queen was wearing only a gown.
Her bedside was filled with snacks and drinks.
Sebeom tried to free his two hands, which were tied with rope, by exerting force, but the rope did not budge.
The queen was staring at the cage.
Inside the cage was a hamster that the queen had been raising since before the world was destroyed.
The hamster was running hard on the wheel.
The queen looked at it and walked to the end of the bed.
And then I took out a sweet potato from the old oil stove.
I carefully peeled back the foil that was wrapping it, and steam rose up.
The queen handed it to Sebeom.
“Want to eat?”
Only then was Sebeom able to look the Queen in the eye.
He had a young face.
Early 20s, short hair, college student.
He was short.
At first glance, he looked to be about 160cm tall.
He was so handsome that he was quite popular within the department.
Nevertheless, she was the monarch with the greatest power in Anyang’s first force and Dongan-gu.
Sebeom took his gaze away from the sweet potato she was holding and looked at his ‘chair’.
There were two naked men and women lying face down, and it was a chair.
The two were lying face down, shivering.
“Aren’t you going to eat it?”
The Queen’s voice was heard again.
Sebeom looked at the queen again.
It was no different from any other college student.
It was a face that made it impossible to think that he had done such an absurd and bizarre thing.
But the queen was calm.
“You must be hungry. You came here and only drank water and didn’t eat anything else.”
The queen approached Sebeom.
Then he put his hand on his right shoulder and pressed it.
The man and woman under Sebeom let out soft groans.
“Why are you doing this?”
The queen wrapped her arms around Sebeom from behind and rested her chin on his left shoulder.
Every time she spoke, her breath would echo in Sebeom’s ears.
“There has to be a reason for this?”
Dream.
The queen chewed the sweet potato with the skin on.
Sebeom had to hear her squirming right next to him.
Sebeom closed his eyes tightly.
Every single second I spent here was painful.
Sebeom had to find out where his older sister, Jooyeon, was.
The queen took her hand off Sebeom’s shoulder, walked over to the bed, and sat down at the end of it.
The queen continued speaking calmly.
“I just wanted to give it a try?”
“what……?”
Sebeom looked at the queen in disbelief.
She sat with her legs crossed and ate a sweet potato.
There was also milk for the queen on the table next to the bed.
“I just… … I wanted to try it for some reason. I wanted to see something cruel. I was curious. The world is so boring, isn’t it?”
She put down the sweet potato, took a sip of milk, and continued speaking.

“Like everyone else, I go to school, meet friends, go to karaoke, sometimes meet a boyfriend or girlfriend, eat tonkatsu, give some allowance to my parents… … I cover myself with the blanket and read webtoons, sometimes drink alcohol… … Repeat, repeat, repeat. Like a hamster wheel. Of course, I haven’t lived such an ordinary life. … … Maybe?”
The queen wiped the milk from her lips with the back of her hand.
Then he lay on his side and put his fingers on the bed.
One by one, her fingers began to walk.
“A hamster is locked in that small cage, so it must be curious about what’s outside. I’m the same. I’m just curious about things I’ve never experienced. If that happens… … what would happen? If a man and a woman who were originally a couple were now tied together and turned into a tool called a chair… … would they go crazy? Or would they hold on strong?”
The Queen’s speech was extremely languid.
The queen, who was looking at her own fingers, turned her eyes to look at Sebeom.
“It’s boring. When you experience and feel the same things every day. Isn’t it?”
Sebeom was gritting his teeth.
A stream of bright red blood ran down his lips and pooled on his chin.
Stop.
The blood on his chin dripped down and fell onto the man’s back, which was on the chair.
Psychopath.
psychopath.
Crazy bitch.
Other than those three, there were no words to define the queen.
Sebeom said to her.
“You… are… crazy.”
“No. I’m not crazy.”
The Queen immediately refuted the claim.
“You’re crazy.”
“Really? Well, I don’t think so. I’m just being honest.”
The Queen’s eyes sharpened.
“You are not being honest.”
dripping.
Just then, there was a knock on her door.
A voice came from outside the door.
“I’m the search leader. May I come in?”
The queen stared blankly at Sebeom and then spoke.
“Okay. Come in.”
The queen carefully got up and covered herself with the warm, cozy blanket.
Search leader Lee Su-eun opened the door and came in, bowing her head slightly in front of her.
It was an example for the queen.
“Yeah. Mercury. How are the salty ones?”
The queen asked with only her face sticking out of the blanket.
The age difference between the Queen and Lee Soo-eun was clear.
If the two of them were hanging out together, they would be seen as mother and daughter.
Lee Su-eun continued speaking, slightly bowing her head.
“We have now entered the first street.”
“First Street?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“okay?”
During the first day of the festival, the first force, the force she was leading, was also targeting the downtown area.
If she could just capture Ilbeonga, her power would no longer have rivals in Anyang.
In the end, the key to this power struggle was food.
If he could just secure food, he could bring Anyang under his sphere of influence.
The queen lay in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
“Okay. Okay. What.”
The queen thought.
It was necessary to break the spirit of the Manan forces once.
They’re salty.
Because there are always people you can’t trust.
Because salty people are a force that needs to disappear from the world.
“The remaining salty fish. Execute them all. Then wrap their heads well and give them as gifts.”
At those words, Search Team Leader Lee Su-eun remained silent.
But I couldn’t go against the Queen’s words.
Because her edicts were absolute.
Lee Su-eun bowed her head slightly again and followed the order.
“yes.”
That was when.
After those words were said, the chair Sebeom was sitting on began to shake.
The man was trying to get up.
Sebeom naturally rolled to the side.
The man, still tied up, approached the queen and knelt down.
“Please… … ! Please!!! I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. At least my wife. Please.”
The woman who had been sitting on the chair was lying face down on the floor, sobbing, and the man was waving his hands.
The queen lifted her upper body slightly.
Her bare skin was revealed through the flowing gown.
The queen frowned and asked the man back.
“Why me?”
“Ho, ho, by any chance… … ! If it was that time… … I can explain it all… … I can explain it all. Really!”
“No need.”
She’s allegedly in the case.
Then two men came in, knelt down and approached the rain-soaked police officer.
Then the queen opened her mouth.
“I know, wife. You’re innocent.”
“Ah… … That… … Then why?”
Thud!
The Queen’s men dragged the police couple away.
The queen laughed.
Se-beom, who saw the Queen’s expression clearly while lying on the floor of the motel, could not help but be shocked.
“Oh my. How many times do I have to tell you? I’ve forgotten all about that. Okay? We all know that the Korean police only care about the perpetrators… … and that the investigation is sloppy… … and we all know that he’s innocent.”
The queen rested her chin on one hand and smiled with the corners of her lips raised.
The queen continued, her expression looking absolutely amused.
“It’s just fun, isn’t it? Sebeom.”
At that moment, Sebeom felt fear from a human smile for the first time.
The queen giggled and then fell back to her knees.
“Ah. Something is boring. Edict.”
At her command, a holographic window appeared before her eyes.
[First force during this time, King Park Ji-su]
[royal order]
[Article 1, Paragraph 1: All persons included in the force must obey the Queen’s word.]
[Article 1, Paragraph 2: All personnel within the force must never call the Queen’s name or speak badly of her.]
[Article 1, Paragraph 3: All personnel included in the force shall collect their quota every week and present it to the monarch.]
[50 achievement points are required to unlock additional edict 2.]
Queen Park Ji-soo continued to scroll down the hologram.
Achievement points 50.
Points were only obtained by completing quests.
I wanted to quickly get points and establish my own laws.
“What should I do next?”
Laws written in edicts are enforced by the system.
That is, even if the Queen cannot see or feel it, the system automatically selects and notifies the Queen of any beings that have violated the edict.
The monarchy system was a powerful power.
She quickly expanded her power with this system and has come to where she is today.
Park Ji-soo felt like she was going crazy with happiness right now.
I was happier in the two weeks after the world ended than in the 21 years of my life so far.
Everything moved as it pleased.
Just like a game.
“Sebeom-ah. How long are you going to lie there?”
Glance.
Park Ji-soo slightly raised her head and looked at Lee Se-beom.
Lee Se-beom was lying on his stomach, shaking.
Park Ji-soo glanced at him and smiled.
“Don’t you want to save your sister? She’s probably being tortured right now… … It must hurt. Right?”
“You fu*king punk… … you… … I’m definitely going to kill you… … .”
“Yeah, yeah. If you were the perfect top-class man for me, I could have lived comfortably like that glass-gwan sister over there. It’s too bad. But what can I do? You’re just a top-class man.”
The woman inside the glass case shuddered.
Park Ji-soo finished speaking, leaning back.
“Come up. That’s an order.”
Sebeom stood there and didn’t move.
At that moment, a notification window appeared before his eyes.
[During the First Power, the Imperial Decree by King Park Ji-su, Article 1, Paragraph 1]
[Article 1, Paragraph 1: All persons included in the force must obey the Queen’s word.]
[Within 60 seconds, penalty will be imposed if not performed.]
The penalty is immediate death.
Sebeom bit his lip.
Then he carefully got up and went up to the queen’s bed.
* * *
A total of 35 police officers who were arrested in Dongangu were lined up and killed.
The executioner of the first force indiscriminately decapitated police officers with a huge disaster axe.
Since the cervical vertebrae were not cut with one shot, two or three shots were required.
The same goes for the police couple who were chairs.
Meanwhile, the people of the first force carefully wrapped the police officers’ heads and prepared to present them as gifts.
I brought out some colorful boxes and wrapping paper from the stationery store and put the necks in them one by one.
They loaded them one by one onto the junk car that Tuntun had brought.
To give as a gift to the police officers in Manan-gu.
* * *
After traveling for three hours, we finally arrived at Manan Police Station.
Everyone was exhausted and on the verge of collapse.
Two police officers guarding the police station spotted us and ran out.
“Class President!!! Are you okay?!”
“Class President!!! Oh, thank goodness.”
Two young police officers ran out and approached Lee Cheong-chun.
We who came together were not even considered.
Jin Jae-hee and I headed toward the building, passing the tearful reunion scene.
A break was desperately needed.
But Lee Cheong-chun stopped me as I was trying to enter the building.
“Just a moment, Mr. Zion.”
I stopped walking and turned my head to look at him.
Lee Cheong-chun came a little closer and made a suggestion to me.
“Would you like to see the chief? There is something I need to discuss with you. I would like to ask for advice from Mr. Zion.”
“… … .”
His voice was tragic.
Meeting the chief.
It meant meeting the head of this sphere of influence.
It was obvious what it meant.
It was Lee Cheong-chun who acknowledged me.
And this was proof that everything was going as I intended.
I was tired, cold, and wanted to lie down right away, but I answered him.
“yes.”
