The world was pale with the light of dawn, and it became clear blue when the morning dawned.
That's when I saw the outpost from afar. A short distance from the outpost, you can see where the knights and soldiers are staying.
A soldier guarding the path yawned and was furious when he saw Albrecht approaching from afar. Then I hurried to my place and called for a knight.
A few moments later, the knight comes out clumsily armed with a raggedy-ass helmet. On your horse, you come to Albrecht and bow your head.
Albrecht indifferently says beyond the veil.
“I hear Wilhelm and Rose's brother are here. ”
“Mo, I'll get her. ”
The knight followed the rules, but I was afraid I might blame myself. Shortly after the knight returned to his quarters, Wilhelm, Cecilia and three Rangers left the premises.
They all look at Albrecht's golden armor, frozen. Oh, my God, what is that?
Wilhelm hasn't changed much, but Cecilia has become a lady one day. By the time I was 10, I'd be 15 by now. He became an adult for the adult ceremony.
Albrecht's face quickly smiles. You take off your helmet and give it to Yurgen, then quickly step off the horse. Albrecht said, looking at Cecilia, who was sniffed out.
“Oh my God, Cecilia. Your sister won't recognize you either. ”
There were still a lot of teas left, but the beauty that had just begun to blossom was truly comparable to Rosamund.
Cecilia was wearing a hunter's clothing made of leather, not skirts, but pants.
She looks at the golden armor in a frenzy, listening to Albrecht and sober up.
Then he smiled brightly and greeted her as if he were wearing a skirt, grabbing the air slightly as if he were holding the hem of a skirt without.
“It's an honor to see you again. The King in the North.”
“Hahaha! There's no need for such formalities between us. I feel like it was yesterday that I held you in my arms and told you the story of my life. ”
Albrecht remembers lying in bed with Cecilia in an encampment tent on a rainy day. I hugged him lightly with a bright face.
Then I turned to Wilhelm, and he seemed to be somewhat shy.
“How are you? ”
Albrecht greets you with a simple greeting, but he does not reply. I felt ashamed all the time.
"What's wrong with him? ’
“We're getting married. Allow me, brother. ”
Cecilia, who was next to me, said: Albrecht's words do not enter the brain immediately. As the water slowly seeps into the sponge, Albrecht takes some time to understand what Cecilia meant.
After drifting to the wrong place during the Crusades, it was even more shocking than saying you couldn't see the supply ships.
Albrecht stares into the air and freezes. How old was Wilhelm?
“Well, that happened. Even if you kill me, I'll take it easy. ”
“What are you talking about! Why are you dying? If you die, I die! ”
Baby!
Albrecht wondered what had happened for five years.
“Will you allow me? ”
Cecilia urges an answer.
“I, I don't know. Tell your sister. Let's start with a simple meal and get going. ”
Albrecht didn't want to leave the matter to himself. I wanted to pass it on to my wife as soon as possible.
Albrecht struggled to avoid Cecilia's eyes and greeted the rangers behind him.
“How are you guys? ”
They don't look so happy. One of them speaks bluntly.
“Wilhelm, aren't you going to kill him? ”
The rangers seemed to have remained. They exchange money, just as Albrecht made a bet to kill Wilhelm or not.
Albrecht looks at them, chewing on the worms, and enters the lodge.
It was a soldier's diet. Of course, there was nothing special. Even if the king were to come, there wouldn't be any materials without them right now.
After putting the pickled meat in the salt, Cecilia took out a few bowls of boiled wheat hide and set off again.
“Oh, Vervantos wants me to come and give this to my older brother. ”
Cecilia looks at Wilhelm, and he brings the bayonet swords to the rocks.
After loosening the yoke on the long table, the twelve swords, which hid themselves in the sword, bloom.
The cross shaped guard had a one-handed sword with a scaled dragon's black leather on it. It looked like the palm of Albrecht's gauntlet.
In a rounded foam, the dragon's head was pitched and a small black diamond was embedded in the eye area. Overall, the design was simple, but not exceptional in craftsmanship.
Albrecht picks one up and pulls out a little sword. A milky sword caught my eye. A long depression in the blade from the guards, Fuller was engraved with two ancient letters.
One is‘ illness, ’and one is‘ diah, ’which means thinking.
The sword is mild, but even the faint golden light seems to be sensitive. Albrecht pulled out his sword to see the whole thing.
“Wow!"
When the sword was fully revealed, Yurgen, Richar and dozens of knights flew in at once.
They devoted their lives to the sword together. Of course, they were interested in the sword. Every knight had a lust for a sword.
However, I could see at a glance that Albrecht had drawn a black, a treasure beyond the sword, or a haunting.
I've never seen a white sword so neat, but the golden light of subtle sensitivity seems to seduce people. It looked like a sword from the heavens.
“I heard an Illudian made it. Vervantos brought it to us to give to you. ”
Albrecht wondered. Why didn't you come in person? And Ilya made it? Are you feeling okay? And why are there twelve black?
Albrecht looks around at Ilydia's sword. Of course, no matter how much I looked, it was flawless.
However, it seemed like it was made with Albrecht in mind, and it was a bit long and heavy for ordinary people to use with one hand, so it seemed like it would be appropriate for both hands.
The subtle golden sensitivity seems to be laced with duck corn. Was it still there? And didn't you say you only use Dragon Hearts in the Dragon Heart Furnace to melt the ducks?
No matter how I made it, I had the finished item in front of me, so I turned it off quickly. But why twelve?
Of course you didn't make me write it alone. If so, Albrecht thought of those who wanted to give it to someone else.
Eugene, Randolph, Hermann, Carpen, Wilhelm, Hrolph, Gunnar, and Richard...... eight people, but some of the numbers don't match.
Then I remembered what Ilydia said the last time we broke up.
‘One day, one day, let us go. Please. And, when it's hard enough to bear, look around. But if it doesn't make you feel better, when the cool breeze hits you, think of me as me. ’
Reminds me of Illudia, who was sick in the bottle, and Albrecht is a little depressed. And now I feel like I know a little bit why I told myself I felt sorry for myself, why I told you to look around when it was hard. Perhaps he saw his future and said he was sorry.
I used to think having a drink with Adelmar and Otto and having a good conversation with a good person felt like a cleanse inside. I thought that's what Ilydia meant when she asked me to look around in times of trouble.
When Albrecht himself was in such a deep depression, it was Herman's birthday present that he pulled him out of the ditch.
Of course, as a monarch, as a leader, you shouldn't violate the right to be surrounded by your side and not be able to see reality, but you don't have to take it all on your own and collapse.
Albrecht puts the sword back into the sword and fills his waist with the sword his father gave him. One is mine.
Albrecht was sweeping up money other than the bank, but he didn't borrow the bank's power, and spent it on the salaries of public works and soldiers.
If you let the dwarves go, if you disconnect from the bank, you have to shrink the public sector first.
Albrecht wanted to profit the bank, not hurt it. However, the dwarves seem to be suffering for their own reasons, not for their own money.
Albrecht makes his way up to the horse, pledging to let the dwarves go as soon as he returns to Bearburg.
To conquer the world, I still needed the bank's strength to build an empire, but I remembered I always told Valentina.
As merchants have their ways, knights have their ways. There is a way for the Emperor, too. I didn't want to build an empire while harassing my friend.
A cool breeze whistles through Albrecht. The sparkling blonde jumps over slightly. Albrecht's blue eyes turn towards the wind. It's to the north. At the end of it, there are heavenly mountain ranges. Albrecht speeds toward Schwarz thinking about Ilydia.
I went camping once on my way back to Bearburg. With the campfires lit, Wilhelm and Cecilia stick together.
Precisely, Cecilia sticks together and Wilhelm tries to pry it away from Albrecht.
In Albrecht's eyes, Wilhelm looks like a cunt. Caring about his appearance, his mouth was rough. What put a click on Cecilia?
Later, when the Feudal System was established and the identity system was firmly established, the two societies were ridiculous.
Cecilia was originally a royal family of Anglia, and her brother was the King in the North. Wilhelm, on the other hand, was an ordinary knight. After leaving everything else, I thought Wilhelm had a really good time.
Back in Bearburg, Rosamund hugs Cecilia and bursts into tears. Instead, Cecilia shudders. Cecilia was as impressive as she was, but Rosamund wept so horribly that she was embarrassed.
Albrecht knew why his wife was crying like that. You must have suffered a lot. I felt sorry for nothing.
Adelhyde, Albrecht's mother, didn't give her daughter-in-law much notice about the heir issue. Rather, he also talked about having Albrecht with difficulty and encouraged me to have hope.
However, no matter how much I didn't want to hear the words floating among the people, I could hear them.
Albrecht worked his ass off to do his job. I told the bankers that I would no longer spend the bank's money. From now on, Albrecht himself was only one customer.
Three years was enough time for local residents, prostitutes and soldiers to start a family.
Many knights and soldiers settled in Calteren, Sternmark and Hamelstrom.
As well as combat training, deploying and summoning an army was also a kind of exercise. It could take a month or months to gather them all, so I told Wilhelm to recruit hunters and raise rangers.
At the same time, he summoned all the branches under his command. The men in charge could be a little dangerous to leave, but now that they've settled down, it shouldn't be a big deal.
When it was in mid-March and Albrecht's birthday was coming up next week, Eugene and Randolph, Hermann, Carpen, Wilhelm, Harolph, Gunnar and Richard gathered together. And you slaughtered them with the Illudian sword one by one.
Including Albrecht's own, there are now three Illudian swords left.
“I will not take such an oath. The reason I gave up that sword is because now I want to trust you. Help me.”
Albrecht was the first person to ask for help in his life. Ever since I left CalTerre, I've been living the world on my own without asking anyone for help.
Albrecht nods slightly after speaking. I was a little embarrassed.
In the hall on the first floor of Bearburg, there were knights and families watching this scene. Adelhyde and Gisella were smiling, and Cecilia liked to applaud Wilhelm as if it were her own.
Karpen glances at Albrecht and draws his sword.
“Whew! God, if I sell this, I'll have enough to pay for my hard work. ”
Albrecht looks at him and says, "I'm fine."
“Sell it or not, take care of it. ”
Even after Albrecht said this, Randolph looks offended.
“Watch your language. Carpen.”
“No, it's mine now. I'll do what I want. Why do you care, kid? ”
In Karfen's reply, Randolph stares at him silently.
If a stranger saw it, he would feel something unusual.
Merchants like Hermann, Hrrolf and Gunnar didn't care, and Yurgen didn't know what to do. Richard stares at them quietly.
Wilhelm, who was a soldier during the Crusades, was just unfamiliar with his position. He didn't seem to care whether two Randolph and Carfen were attacked or fought.
The great party, Carpen, smiles playfully at Randolph.
“Well, in a way, I'm your teacher, too. And you and I have been together a long time, but it's hard to get along. ”
Carpen and Randolph had their first encounter. That's when Randolph was defeated, and soon after that, Randolph won again.
“Who is my master? Don't take this the wrong way because you're my teacher for playing tricks in a shallow waterway. My master is the Master. ”
Carfen's playful smile darkens.
“You've been acting like a king's cub for a long time. My queen, you have a grown son like this. ”
It was a mischievous prank, but it was a rather sensitive mix. Randolph stands up, his eyes lit up. Albrecht hurriedly stopped.
“What are you doing? Karpen, I like to joke around, but you need to keep your mouth shut. Everybody back off. Come on."
You shake your hand as if Albrecht were asking you to leave quickly. Hermann gets up first in the dismissal order and runs to his wife. Don't you know he's ashamed?
The rest of you just get up and leave. Randolph looks at Carfen as if he still doesn't deserve it. Carfen grins and takes it lightly.
Albrecht gets up from his seat sighing. I noticed Rosamund. She looks straight at herself. He seemed determined.
