A Lie Has Turned Into Reality - Chapter 314
Only Ran(o)vel dot com
I’ve tried several times since then to find a way, but I still can’t come up with a good solution.
Right now, I have three options available to me.
Or reverse your retirement.
Or even give up extending the contract.
If not that…
— Wouldn’t it be easier in many ways to observe North Korea’s state affairs and public sentiment rather than spending your whole life buried in piles of paperwork?
…follow Park Yoon-seong’s suggestion.
“The royal family…”
A royal family in this day and age.
Considering the special nature of North Korea, it may not be impossible… No, rather, it fits well.
But honestly, when I think about actually sitting in that seat, I feel incredibly burdened.
So you’re going back on your retirement now?
In this situation where even Eunwoo and Eunah have voluntarily(?) been put on the chopping block?
“Absolutely not.”
Yeah, in that case, I might as well just give up on extending the contract.
Of course, that doesn’t mean you can actually give up extending your contract.
If that happens, there is a high possibility that the United States, unable to stand by and watch, will take action directly.
And it’s not just the United States.
A lot of people, including the old farts on the board, will rush in foaming at the mouth.
— What? You’re saying I can’t give up the contract? Are you really crazy?
— You little punk! That’s nonsense!
— It’s a lifelong contract or something, so you have to extend the contract unconditionally! What’s so important about the retirement date?
Didn’t my grandfather, who immediately returned to South Korea, go into a rage at what I said?
Given the circumstances, there is only one way left.
Enforcing a ‘partial’ retirement as suggested by Park Yoon-seong.
“The question is, is that really the better option…?”
In theory, there’s nothing wrong with it.
The king is the face of a country, and power is actually closer to symbolic power.
Even if you say that the royal family’s duties are limited to treating state guests, isn’t that all?
If there is a national event, it would be enough to just show your face for a little while.
The royal family’s political stance?
Of course it’s neutral.
Of course, this does not mean that the royal family has no business in parliament.
Appoint government and personnel.
The parliament should open every year with an opening ceremony.
Bills passed by Parliament must also receive the King’s assent to become final.
Of course.
Paperwork may not be completely freed either.
but.
“Isn’t that enough to make you a nobleman?”
All things considered, it’s clear that the workload will be drastically reduced rather than rotting away at the SW Group for the rest of your life.
“… … ”
I stared blankly into space.
It’s not something that can be chosen easily.
But I didn’t have much time left.
“Mr. Chairman, the summit schedule has been set.”
“When is it?”
“It’s exactly 30 days from today.”
30 days.
What that means is that I have 30 days to make a choice.
Are you going to rot away at the company like you are now?
Or will he live his life as a national celebrity known as a ‘king’?
No matter what you choose, the fact remains that you will have the giant corporation called SW Group at your feet.
At least if you choose the latter, it is possible to separate the work of the government and the company.
I was lost in thought for a long time.
About ten minutes passed like that.
I, free from my thoughts, called out to Park Yoon-seong softly.
“Mr. Yoonseong.”
“Yes, sir.”
No matter what you choose, you’ll still feel uneasy.
The best choice was almost a foregone conclusion.
“Contact the National Intelligence Service immediately.”
“yes?”
He asked back in a surprised voice.
“Have you… decided?”
Nod.
I’ve decided.
I don’t know if I’ll regret my choice later or not—
“Let’s do it, Royal.”
That’s just royalty.
Let’s give it a try, I guess.

“The royal family, you say?”
“Yes, you heard me correctly.”
The Minister of Foreign Affairs rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand as if he was surprised.
Then he asked several times as if to confirm whether what he had just heard was true.
“Are you serious?”
“I’m serious.”
“Rebuilding the royal family and transferring the ruling power to a newly established royal family, not to the SW Group… That means, in the future, not to the chairman of a company…”
Nod.
I nodded with a look of resignation on my face.
“It means that I truly want to become the face that represents North Korea.”
He told me.
North Korea is a country, not a company.
He said that he was a citizen of North Korea, not an employee of a company.
So there would be no reason to refuse that offer.
Because the royal family, rather than the corporations, would be more in line with the direction he wants North Korea to go.
More than anything, they want me.
Even though she is retiring from the group, there is no reason to refuse the offer to establish a royal family and become the face of North Korea.
“If what the chairman said is true, then the subject of the contract is…”
“It will be royal, not SW Group.”
He blinked his eyes blankly.
You would be surprised.
I bet you never thought you’d grow your business to this extent just to retire once.
But there’s nothing I can do.
Because I am that sincere too.
“It’s a mutually beneficial proposal. The justification is sufficient, and if we’re going to hand over the ruling power anyway, wouldn’t it be more plausible to hand it over to a royal family rather than a corporation?”
Of course, it’s just a pun.
No matter which side the ruling power is handed over to, the fate of North Korea is still determined by the SW Group.
But what he ultimately wants is symbolism.
A country, not a corporation.
Citizens, not employees.
A true ruler, not a corporate chairman.
‘In that respect, there is nothing like royalty.’
I’m glad that my workload has been reduced.
He’s glad I stayed.
Isn’t that truly a win-win?
“The finer details will need to be worked out, but I don’t think there is a better compromise.”
“… You are right.”
Well then, that’s right.
As expected, he lowered his head as if he was moved.

“There is only one thing I want.”
“Please tell me.”
“Retirement will proceed as I have told you. The succession will also proceed normally. However, I will not leave North Korea. My affiliation will only change from SW Group to the royal family.”
“… … ”
“SW Group is also under the royal family’s influence as it is currently affiliated with North Korea. I think this level of safety measures is sufficient.”
The sun hanging at the end of the window was dazzling.
The commander in full uniform looked at me with reddened eyes.
That’s all for my suggestion.
So I took a deep breath and got to the point.
“Would you like to cooperate?”
“… … ”
His pupils dilate and become transparent.
He barely managed to force the words out of his throat, which were rising to the tip of his chin.
“There’s nothing to worry about.”
He raised his head with a determined expression.
“I will cooperate.”

The news spread quickly.
— Is the contract already renewed?
— But is it really necessary to go through the hassle of having a meeting?
— Seriously ㅋㅋ Who else is there besides Kim Sungwoo anyway ㅋㅋㅋ
— Even now in North Korea, he’s almost treated like a cult leader lol.
— It’s definitely Kim Sung-woo. The moment SW Group gives up on the contract, North Korea will be left behind and the Korean Peninsula itself will be fucked.
Even the contract was renewed.
As it was an issue that was once a hot topic, the spark quickly caught fire.
Of course, the public reaction was consistent and not particularly different.
To anyone, the current North Korea is a country worth living in, and the person who brought the once barren land to where it is today was none other than Kim Seong-woo.
— Oh, is there a substitute? Lol
— I really can’t imagine North Korea without Kim Sung-woo.
— How many years will you extend it this time?
— Seriously, don’t you think Kim Sung-woo’s approval rating will go over 90%?
— As long as the SW Group remains intact, North Korea cannot fail.
There is no one who can replace Kim Sung-woo.
It was a global attention, not just domestic.
It is not limited to public opinion.
In reality, there was no one in the world who could replace Kim Sung-woo.
That’s why no one even doubted the renewal of the contract.
Anyway, there is no one else they can rely on besides Kim Sung-woo.
Then one day.
News that Kim Sung-woo is considering retirement has hit the internet.
— ??????
—What retirement? Are you crazy?
— Are you saying that you were working on the succession until now because you were planning to retire? ㄷㄷ;;
— No, isn’t it too soon?
— Shouldn’t we catch Kim Seong-woo and confine him somewhere?
— Retirement is a crime?
The Internet became a mess in an instant.
The media began to cover the news that Kim Sung-woo was considering retirement, and at the same time, the stock prices of related companies fluctuated.
The same goes for the United States.
Foreign media desperately tracked Kim Sung-woo’s whereabouts, and the White House also promised to take swift action, saying it was assessing the situation.
In the midst of all that noise.
Even starting with the community, reports began to pour in that there was friction in the contract renewal process.
— Won’t this really lead to the contract being cancelled?
— What happens if SW Group leaves North Korea?
N I’m going to ask you something lol
N Then it will be like before again
n Because it’s Kim Sung-woo, we’ve been holding on while accumulating deficits like we are now
The moment North Korea is torn apart, the security of the Korean Peninsula will be in danger.
A clear sense of crisis.
A somewhat cold current lingered on the Internet.
— Let’s just kidnap Kim Sung-woo and imprison him.
— Sounds like retirement.
— What kind of retirement is this when you were born as Kim Sung-woo?
— Superconducting voice actors can never retire
– Call for a special prosecutor right now
Many people actively opposed his retirement.
The atmosphere was so rough that quite a few somewhat aggressive reactions were observed.
Time passed like that.
One day, when public opinion was gradually becoming stronger.
— Breaking news.
— (Link) White House statement of position is delayed.
The White House made a statement.
They expressed regret over the issue.
And at the same time.
He spewed out some pretty shocking news.
— Yes? The royal family?
— Crazy lol
— What is it? Is this a real version of the Northern Air Force?
— Is this real? Hahahahahahahahahahaha
— Huh? This is real?
— Haha …
North Korea is said to be creating a royal family.
That too, with Kim Seong-woo at the center.
— They match well, lol
— They did a large-scale survey in North Korea a few days ago and they said the approval rate was 95% ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
— Are you really the Duke of the North?
— Anyway, we’re both Kims, right? LOL
— This is really annoying.
The internet has been turned upside down.
YouTube was soon consumed by the keywords ‘His Excellency Kim Seong-woo’ and ‘Northern Commander’, and the community was also ablaze with the topic all day long.
— Is this the appearance of the Baekdu bloodline royal family?
— Superconducting King ㄷㄷ
— The businessman who created North Korea… He’s kind of symbolic.
— You seem to have a good head on your shoulders? It would be a huge win if you could catch Kim Sung-woo like that.
— I can’t adapt at all, damn it ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
— Dae Sung Woo kekekekekekekekeke
— A roughly worshipping emoticon
The response was favorable.
This was because there was already a precedent in the British royal family, and because royal affairs and government affairs were clearly separated, it was difficult to see it as a complete dictatorship.
The international community, including the United States, also did not express any particular position.
No, on the contrary, he made a subtle remark that he respected their opinions.
one side.
“royal household?”
Pyongyang, North Korea.
A mansion located behind the government building.
Harul sat on the sofa, staring blankly at her phone screen.
I knew the voice actor was busy recently.
So I understood why there was less contact.
but.
I didn’t expect this situation.
“I am the mother of the nation…?”
When I came to my senses.
Before we knew it, she had become the mother of North Korea.
