Five men stood around the throne, in the halls of Grosburg, where even the slightest sound resounded.
Sunlight enters the window on the wall of the hall, thick and gaudy, and slanted between the ten rows of colossal figures.
Despite Albrecht's shocking and whimsical remark, Richard frowns as he makes a blank expression.
“You're overreacting. ”
He seemed to think he was mocking himself. Albrecht thought his words were unrealistic.
However, he did not gently shake the hand of the king holding his hand.
“Why do you think it's a farm? My" war to end war "is not yet over. I don't know how big the North is. But do you think we only have a third of the continent now? Unknown. If I put the western part of the continent under my feet, as far as Velez, Akaten and Anglia, I could say, at least a third, or more, of the continent has been captured. ”
Albrecht's solemn voice echoes a majestic, serene hall.
The king's side, including Richard's, creeped me out when Albrecht said something like that, no one else.
“You've heard of it. The other day, when I was fighting the Crusades, I told the Knights of the Licence. About the chain of pain. How long must the good suffer for their ignorance and war? The old me, I thought I could try by myself. But no, that's wrong. I shouldn't be alone. I must take control of all the wars in the world by force, all in my hands. ”
Albrecht clenches his fist in the air with his big hand.
People were speechless. Albrecht's "War to End War" was a famous word when he left CalTerre. So they knew.
However, as the Kingdom of Lyseng entered, and Lightningen rapidly developed, there was a tendency to settle down in the present time without anyone noticing. But the king was still looking beyond.
“And I will carry all that sin with me. You know, I was never interested in being complimented from the start. I'm just doing my job...... So, what do you think, Richard de Montfort? Do you intend to be king? You've been by my side for quite some time now, so you've seen how I work. You're responsible for the west side of the continent for me. ”
“Well, I......”
Richard doesn't know what Albrecht has to say, and he doesn't know what to put on the burden. To be king?
“Your Majesty. When Lord Richard becomes king, he will be equal to you, no? ”
You ask as if you were curious about Einhardt next to you. There cannot be two suns in the same sky.
Even if I used my strength to call other kings like apostles, it was eventually a deformed structure.
Albrecht said with a serious look on his face.
“I will be king of kings. What should the king say, yes. We could use a Kaiser. Kaiser Albrecht: Emperors rule not empires, but empires All empires and kings become members of the empire. I am at its peak. ”
Albrecht suddenly remembers Kaiserius and recalls the nickname of his exploding power and noble sovereignty. Kaiser decided to name it after him.
Ever since Albrecht first asked him if he wanted to be king, he continued to tell great stories, and Roysen, Einhart and Salvatore, including him, were stunned.
This world has never existed as an empire since Zairex founded its first human kingdom. So there was no notion of emperor.
A king among kings? How far can Humans go on their own?
The innards felt as if Albrecht was trying to touch the sky from the top of the tower until it reached the sky.
With the exception of Albrecht, it seemed clear that no one else in the world was possible. Albrecht was so high and so big that people were overwhelmed.
Albrecht stroked the back of his hand and continued to tell him.
“Being king is not as good as people think. As you've seen by my side, the king has a lot to work on and care about. Kings should not simply rule and rule. We need to go beyond that. You have the courage to face harsh realities and shape your destiny, with clear and unwavering self-assertion, with a resourceful mind to quickly grasp complex situations. Enough to be king. But from the moment you become king, you must abandon yourself. No, even if you don't want to. A king is a lonely man who lives in suffering and suffering. Sometimes you have to sacrifice yourself. I say again, will you be king? ”
Richard leaves his hand in Albrecht's hands, just looking at the king with the expression above.
The single, sparkly hair color and crimson eyes were characteristic of the Montfort family.
Indeed, he could have been a genetic symbol of the royal family once he became king of Veles.
Richard didn't answer right away, and the intestine was quiet. I did not immediately answer the king's question, but no one pointed out rudeness.
Far beyond the spear of Aseng, you hear small sounds of soldiers and workers training or working.
Richard recalls a moment of the past. After my father fought and died in the war in Anglia, my uncle took possession of the land rights and left the continent with my sister.
She took care of herself, saying that she had to get her clothes, build clothes, sometimes sell her body, and regain her rights.
The mercenaries, merchants, and even robbers survived without hesitation, and when news of Albrecht's war broke out, the vortex of fate dared to venture into their hearts.
Most of the knights were from the North, so secretly there was discrimination against themselves from Veles.
I fought harder and tried harder to be recognized, and was fortunate to see the king so far.
If I had been assistant to Albrecht until the end of the war, it would have been about five years.
In the meantime, he was impressed and impressed by the strange and sometimes fascinating king.
The king's incomprehensible actions have always yielded results, and there was hope in people's expressions, even though the causality was unclear.
The king realized he was pursuing something he could not even imagine.
Should we pursue more than just eating and sleeping and fulfilling our desires? What is the king's knight? Can I be like that?
Like the king said, Richard feels that his hometown, Montfort, is infinitely small and rural. Richard's big dream is still small, but the seeds have been planted in his heart.
“I will. I will be king of Velez." I will look down on the people from below and pledge my allegiance to the Emperor above. ”
Albrecht's smile darkens. Albrecht nods and gently rubs the back of Richard's hand once before removing it.
“Well, the horses were magnificent, but I haven't had an instant meal yet. Becoming emperor is later. You really have a long way to go to make yourself king. And I'm sorry for you, but I have to fix your marriage. King Velez 'sister is in the regime now, right? Einhardt, how old is she now? ”
Einhart rolls his eyes at Albrecht's sudden question and thinks for a moment.
“She's probably 18. She'll be 19 soon. When His Majesty subjugated the Bedukints, he began a regime when he was 15 years old. The king of Veles is now 10 years old. ”
There were so many royals and nobles in this world, and their families were so complicated that their heads hurt. The family crest was also numerous and varied.
So there was a job to sort them out and organize them, and Albrecht had a sentence to do the same thing. Einhardt was also a good expert on that side.
“Tell me about the royal family of Veles. ”
Einhardt clears his mind for a moment, looking up at his eyes again.
“The royal family of Velez has lived in Ile de Velez for a long time. The first king led the lords and fought against the Bedukints to build a kingdom, and has come to this point through the Conquest War. The current king is Henri de Velez, the only reader of the heroic King Guillaume de Velez, whom the king had butchered. Gisela de Velez, the sister, is currently single and is serving in Veles on behalf of her younger brother the king. ”
Albrecht had already known. But there was a reason I asked about the royal family in Veles.
“Tell me about the Monforts this time. ”
Ainhart then looks at Richard for a moment. The party was by your side, so I thought I should tell you, but it was the king's order.
“Montfort is the southern territory of Ile de Velez, where the Lord has been the King's direct envoy for generations. The ancestor of the family is Wig de Montfort, and Sir Richard here is known as the Fifth Progenitor. ”
Roysen is simply listening to Einhart, and Richard and Salvatore seem to have noticed something. Albrecht looks at Einhart and says,
“No, you know what? Which family was the wife of the Monfort's great-grandfather? Richard's five great-grandmother. We have to talk about it.”
In Albrecht's words, Richard himself said this time, not Einhardt.
“The Royal Family of Veles. ”
Albrecht smiles and looks at Richard.
“So now that all of the royal family of Veles are dead, you have a right to the kingdom? Isn't that right?"
It was truly a frightening and cruel sound. However, the people in the intestine did not respond to the cold.
When it was originally time to rob the royal family or nobles of their rights, it was reckless to dry out the seeds.
At that moment, people looked to some extent familiar with Albrecht's plans.
It was hard to claim the right to go back to the top five, but it was not a formal problem. The strong man had at least a reason.
Einhart, however, said with a negative expression.
“But, Sire, in addition to the Montfort family, there are many royal family members in Veles. There's a lot of them in the Midwest. When it comes to rights, there are many families who are not outnumbered by Monfort. ”
Albrecht shakes his head and says, I thought it was the writer's limit.
“When the owner disappears, then priority has no meaning. Einhardt. If there's someone strong, he'll be the new owner from then on. ”
Einhardt nods, knowing that he's right. Albrecht looks at Einhardt like that, and he taps his beard and looks down slightly. I came into the window and noticed the light shining down on the floor.
“But the more reason you have, the better. Richard, you must marry a princess named Gisella. It doesn't matter whether they accept it or not. With the Hestein problem in the east, the specific plan will be to consult with him when Zigmund returns, but I will pressure the Veles royal family on matters of marriage anyway. That way, whether there's a reason for war or a right to the realm, one of them can be held in his hands. Killing the young king is next. ”
Albrecht felt something strange as he spoke. And soon, in the middle of the war, I went through my mind for a moment.
I was reminded of Otto and Adelmar, and he asked for the Young King just before he died. But that said, within my head, I was scattered like smoke from a cigarette.
If you kill the young king of Veles and claim the right to take his sister with him, will she truly love him?
But it was beyond Albrecht's care whether her heart was torn or not.
Albrecht stood up on the throne smiling lightly at his thoughts.
“It's been a long time since we've been hunting. I'll see if everyone's bows have improved. Roysen, you come with me. Return slowly to Zigmunt. And don't bother the soldiers.Bring a few knights and let's go alone. ”
Then you walk out of the hall in a loud, long red carpet. Salvatore remained because she was responsible for the castle, and Einhart and Roysen followed the king.
Richard stands there for a moment, staring at the sliding throne. A golden eagle spreading its wings on its backrest catches my attention.
The golden eagle glows with sunlight coming from behind the hall. It looks majestic and glamorous on the outside, but it seems lonely to Richard.
Richard looks over his shoulder and feels his grip. I turned my head and saw Salvatore. Richard gives him a slight nod and follows the king out of the hall.
