Only Krnovel
He became Park Jeong-ui’s nephew. – (234)
“Welcome, princesses!!”
“welcome!!”
This is Gyeongseong,
Citizens on the streets cheered for the guests heading to Changgyeonggung Palace.
The alliance between Korea and Iran has been going well for 23 years now, and there is even a road called ‘Tehran Road’ in Korea.
Iran also responded by establishing a city called Daedeok-gun, so there is no reason for Koreans to think negatively about Iran.
Recently, public opinion has been forming in favor of the royal family, and with their father suffering from a serious illness and domestic politics in turmoil, the princesses have been forced to travel back and forth between the United States and Korea.
Where else can you find such a regrettable thing?
Many people came out onto the streets to cheer and encourage them.
As the procession of guests arrived at Changgyeonggung Palace, the attention of Koreans was focused on the beautiful appearances of the princesses getting out of the car.
“Wow~ She’s such a beauty?!!”
“Were the Iranian princesses that beautiful?”
“I’ve never seen such a beautiful girl!!”
Princesses who were also evaluated as ‘Venus of Asia’ in America,
Her smooth, oval face, distinct features, and eyes sparkled like polished blue jewels.
A beautiful woman attracts people’s attention wherever she goes, and even princesses who lived in the palace their entire lives did not dislike this attention.
The cheers grew louder as they waved their hands, but it didn’t last long, and the princesses entered the palace escorted by their security team.
‘If I do this well, I’ll be able to make a lot of money in business?’
And there was someone who watched this process.
The main character is Park Jeong-ui,
Park Chung-hee recently won the presidential election and regained the position of prime minister.
Having regained power after seven long years of being ousted from the post of Prime Minister, he is naturally deeply concerned about how to maintain this power.
The problem is that South Korea is a democratic society. When the time comes, they hold elections, and if they lose, they are pushed to the back.
Park Jeong-ui has experienced the bitter taste three times.
Of course, to gain permanent power, one must become a symbolic figure in the country, like royalty or a head of state.
The problem is how Koreans view the existence of the king. Having just emerged from Japanese colonial rule, Korea has developed a negative image of royalty.
The people were slaves to Japan and lived in hardship, while the Joseon royal family enjoyed the protection of Japan and ate in luxury. How can we forgive that?
The royal family ground their teeth and told them not to even think about returning to the country, and in fact, the only royal family that returned was Prince Ui’s family, who had not cooperated with the Japanese.
“But aren’t the royal family the symbol of the country? Wouldn’t it be better to rebuild them?”
“That’s ridiculous. Even your Majesty has given up on becoming king, so what’s the point?”
The head of state was the one who struck a fatal blow to the fantasy of royalty.
Prince Ui intended to hand over the throne to the head of state at the Jongmyo ceremony.
However, the head of state refused the throne, claiming that Korea is a democratic republic, and as a result, royalty in Korea remains a relic of the past.
Is permanent dictatorship possible in a country like this?
Of course, the head of state still holds sway over Korea, but his superficial position is that of a servant who serves the people and carries out the will of the National Assembly.
The prestige of the Goryeong Park clan is also in that position, they were the royal family of ancient Silla? What does that mean?
Now that there is no longer any justification for calling oneself king in Korea, Park Jeong-ui sees hope here today.
‘Yes, there is still a chance. I think the people also have some illusions.’
Royalty is a constantly consumed content in society.
Isn’t public opinion in the United States also praising the beautiful princesses as the ‘Venus of Asia’ and the ‘Cleopatra of the 20th century’?
The way the royal family is treated is determined by their image, and Park Jeong-ui began the task of adding a royal image to the Goryeong Park clan.

“Your Majesty, how are you feeling?”
“Ugh, it’s just so-so.”
This is an American hospital,
King Pahlavi II, who has been receiving intensive care recently, struggled to get up.
My body felt like it was getting better, but it didn’t, and every time I saw my hair fall out due to the side effects of the chemotherapy, I felt extreme irritation and anger.
But what concerns me more is the fate of the royal family.
I sent it to Korea for safety, but is it really okay?
More than anything, I was not at ease because the enemy of Korea did not take my daughters as concubines.
“How are our princesses doing?”
“Don’t worry. I heard that you are receiving excellent treatment at Changgyeonggung Palace. His Majesty has also said that he will provide you with $600,000 per year in living expenses until your health improves.”
Pahlavi II nodded.
As expected, he is a loyal Korean enemy, but why doesn’t he take his daughters as concubines?
He was impatient and harassed his close associates.
“Is there something our princesses don’t like?”
“No. Your Majesty is 54 years old this year. How can he take princesses who are not even 20 years old as his concubines?”
Pahlavi II shook his head.
It was incomprehensible to the emperor, who had experienced several divorces, how a man with power over the world could remain single in his 50s.
Is it true that the Korean enemy has no intention of marrying princesses, but then an unexpected guest comes to visit the hospital.
“Your Majesty, I am a person sent by Prime Minister Park Jeong-ui.”
“Park Jeong-ui? Hmm~ I know. Isn’t he the head of state’s relative?”
Pahlavi II recognized the guest’s identity at a glance.
The number two person is always overshadowed by the power of the number one person, but Park Jeong-ui is someone who is constantly trying to escape from that shadow. He has a history of diplomatic battles between the United States and Korea, and has a certain level of global recognition.
What is that person doing here?
The guest got straight to the point.
“Since you are not feeling well, let me get to the point. Your Majesty, don’t you want to establish a marriage relationship with Korea for the future of Iran?”
“That’s right.”
“Then how about joining hands with the Prime Minister?”
“Huh? With the Prime Minister?”
“Yes, Your Majesty, since you have no children, you will have to pass the position on to someone else someday. Who will that be?”
Pahlavi II shook his head.
He himself has collapsed from cancer, so how long will he be able to maintain his position as the head of state of Korea? Furthermore, he has no biological children, so his succession is even more precarious. Who will take his place?
Park Jeong-ui and Pahlavi II gave their answer.
The main character is Park Myeong-ui, who is 22 years old this year, and is also registered in the family register as a member of the Goryeong Park family.
Wouldn’t it be beneficial for both parties if we could marry this young man to an Iranian princess and elevate him to royal status?
The problem is how the Korean leader will perceive this. If he gets caught, he could literally be in trouble.
It is true that Pahlavi II is also worried about that. If he plots something for no reason and incurs the wrath of the Korean enemy, the royal family may be driven out to Iran.
But there is a reason for both sides to join hands,
Somehow I came up with an excuse.
“If His Majesty makes a decision, the Marshal will reluctantly accept it. We will also try to persuade the Marshal.”
“Well… Well… I’m also in a position to watch out for that person’s feelings…”
“Your Majesty, don’t you know that in order to establish the Iranian royal family on a solid foundation, an alliance with Korea is necessary? Your Majesty’s determination is especially needed at times like these.”
Pahlavi II’s heart wavered little by little.
The Pahlavi dynasty was a country founded through a coup, and its history lasted only about 60 years.
Could there be a foundation for such a dynasty?
Moreover, as he was expelling opposition forces in order to maintain power, he had enemies on all sides, and it was not for nothing that Shah Pahlavi II brought in the United States and South Korea.
However, the United States is a country where the direction of the country changes during election season, so we have to keep an eye on it, but in Korea, hasn’t the elderly Park family been dominating the country for the past 30 years?
This means the stability of the system,
Pahlavi II chose collusion among dictators.

“Your Majesty, it seems the Prime Minister is plotting again.”
“What does that mean?”
“You recently sent someone to the United States to contact Shahanshah.”
The same routine that repeats itself today,
I came face to face with Cho Dae-soo, the 3rd deputy director of the Central Intelligence Agency.
At first I thought this was some random talk, but as I listened to it, I was so shocked that I couldn’t help but laugh.
“So you’re going to marry our name to an Iranian princess and give the Goryeong Park clan a royal image… Is that it?”
“Yes, what should we do?”
“What are we going to do? Send the princesses back to America.”
“Yes? But, Your Majesty, if you do that, Shahanshah… .”
“Shahansha was the first to strike me in the back of the head. I have no guilt about this choice.”
I decided to send the Iranian princesses to the side of Shahanshah.
Why don’t you just quietly receive treatment and play politics by contacting the number two person in Korea?
And you kept that a secret from me? This is a slap in the face to Korea.
In that case, I had no choice but to make a choice that suited me, and while I was at it, I kicked my uncle’s butt for plotting treason.
‘Are you going to keep acting like this? Then I can’t do anything about it.’
I let it slide a few times because it was my blood, but this is something I absolutely cannot forgive.
If I remove the Prime Minister elected by the people with my own hands, wouldn’t democracy be damaged?
Besides, I’ve already blown up parliament three times, so dissolving it this time will only add another stain to my career.
So, the head of state chose to resign,
My name was also dug up from the Goryeong Park clan genealogy.
The plan of his uncle to make Goryeong Park a member of the royal family was completely blocked.
If you want to use my power to make your family royalty, I have no choice but to break out of that mold.
The Korean National Assembly was in chaos like this.
The head of state has announced his resignation, so who will take responsibility for this?
My uncle ran to the Daedeok County official residence and knelt down.
“Your Majesty, I was wrong. So, resignation is….”
“Stop talking nonsense. All the Iranian princesses are returning. There’s nothing more to say, so let’s stop.”
“Prime Minister, it is the Marshal’s will. You must step down.”
CIA agents surrounded my uncle.
I was about to begin a full-scale investigation into what he had been up to, so I didn’t even glance at my uncle as he was dragged out of the official residence.
The princesses were also deported to the United States as planned.
The princesses clung to me in tears, but I pushed their hands away.
If I hadn’t gotten caught up in political issues, I would have lived a comfortable life in Korea, but because of the machinations of those in power, they became a burden to me.
Korean public opinion was also shocked by the news of the princesses’ expulsion.
Some citizens who were unaware of the full story of the incident bid farewell to the princesses heading to the airport.
“Be happy there too!!”
“It was only a short time, but I was happy thanks to you guys!!”
“Sob~ sob~.”
“Oh my~ This is so funny I fell over.”
“Is it really that sad that the princesses are leaving? You spent $600,000 a month just on living expenses. Is that expensive trash?”
“That’s right. The enemy has declared his resignation and the country is in chaos. What are they doing now?”
“Anyway, it’s said that our national prestige is shaken because of things like that.”
But the majority welcomed the princess’s banishment.
The princesses spent $600,000 a month on living expenses. Whose money is that?
What the people should be worried about now is not the exiled princess, but the resignation declaration of the head of state of Korea, and many people rushed to the Daedeok County official residence to stop him from resigning.
