Albrecht sits on the throne and looks at Rosamund beside him.

“Pay special attention to the residence for Duke Zigmunt and the Louis ball. ”

Rosamund was wearing a thin, low-height tube compared to Albrecht. She nods slightly at Albrecht's words.

“Very well, Your Majesty. ”

Perhaps as the official statue, Rosamund was engineering Albrecht.

It was Salvatore or her servants who cared about their homes, and in fact, they did it all, but it was kind of an outrage.

He told his mistress that he would take Louis as a guest of the royal family. Albrecht looked back at his mother, Adelhyde, and said,

“Then we have a little talk with men, and we'd like to take a walk. I need your help, Rose. ”

“Yes, go ahead. ”

Even though she was an official statue, a king, or an apostle directly connected to God, she was a mother. Adelhyde was the only one here who rebelled against Albrecht.

Albrecht stood up on the throne with a gentle smile and kissed Mother's cheek, then kissed Rosamund again.

As you descend the Dawn, you grab Luis. As Albrecht stepped out of the hall with his arms around Lewis' shoulders, Zigmunt, Richard, Einhardt, and a few other approximations followed.

The excuse for holding Lewis was to get involved in his country's strategy, not the other way around.

Albrecht praised Lewis for his bravery when he came out of the gate earlier and attacked the besieged troops, but in fact, those men were beneath him full of themselves.

In addition to Richard, Randolph, Hermann, Wilhelm, Hrolph and Gunnar were all proved brave and courageous in the field.

In fact, even though the Knights of the Licence didn't have to go to them, there were forces rushing head-on, throwing their lives at the Knights of the Wrightingen Field that outnumber them.

Albrecht personally likes brave people, but as far as Lewis is concerned, that part doesn't appeal to Albrecht.

Albrecht's attention to Lewis was not different, but that he had enlisted allies in Eastern Velez.

The world is full of false orders other than Albrecht, and it is quite surprising that he gave up his military because he is an ally.

Albrecht thought that Louis would be an important quote for swallowing up Velez and seating Richard as king of Veles.

“I heard the nobles of Eastern Velez sent 6,000 reinforcements. Are you related to them? ”

When the hero king was king of Veles, there were 10,000 Anglia invaders. 6,000 were never few.

Lewis was puzzled that he wanted to get him to work rather than grow up to be king of Veles in the position of pledge of allegiance, but he quickly came to his senses as Albrecounting the true story.

However, he smiled bitterly and answered the king's question.

“Blood ties are true, but in fact, I've lived like an enemy all my life. It is Reynald of Champagne who oversees the nobles of Eastern Veles and the Lemmings family. It's between me and six villages. ”

Lemmings?

Philip and his brother, one of Albrecht's most despicable men during the Crusades, were the Lemmings.

When Albrecht heard an unexpected name from a stranger, he paused, but immediately focused on the conversation.

But you live like an enemy? Albrecht wondered. It was because they didn't seem to support Louis by suddenly realizing the foolish logic.

“Can you elaborate? I don't get it. ”

Lewis was quite fit, but Albrecht had his arms around his shoulders, like an innocent boy in the street who was torn apart by a gangster.

“Being a noble always falls into a dilemma. I don't think I'm the only one. Being related to an alliance can jeopardize territorial rights because of that alliance. Reynald has been obsessed with Lauren my whole life. But if Lysen's army came out of nowhere and ate Lauren, he'd be a chicken hound, so he wouldn't be able to see that. ”

Albrecht received a report from Sigmund, but his expression was somewhat stiff because he did not know the details of the innards. It was a problem that was complicated beyond thought.

Albrecht loosenes his arm around Lewis' shoulder and steps out of the castle. It was raining outside, but it was unusual.

The sky was full of clouds and blue skies were visible in between. Because it was morning, the world was bright as daylight, but it was raining.

A thin stream of rain flutters as if someone were spraying water into the air rather than birds.

Albrecht takes off his crown, holds it in his hand, and walks behind his back. As the king walked through the courtyard in the rain, the rest followed the king in the rain.

About five minutes' walk, Albrecht's new garden comes out, and he walks down the trail to a small sperm.

Sperm was not like the Eastern sperm of the Earth, but with marble pillars on the outskirts and a roof, which was just the size of a resting place.

Albrecht enters the sperm and sits on a marble bench around it, like a chair.

Albrecht simply urged people to sit down, gesturing silently. Lewis and Zigmunt sit a little further away from Albrecht, and Richard and Einhart sit back away from them.

The guards still stand vigilant in the rain.

“Come to the bottom of the pilgrimage. You don't have to be in the rain. ”

Albrecht speaks, and the guards sneak under the balcony without answering, warning again.

Albrecht pauses, one hand grabbing the crown from around his knee, and the other hand grabbing his beard. Then I asked Louis about a man named Reynolds.

“So Reynald is leading a force of 6,000 men? Then he's almost like a king. ”

Lewis looks at the garden with minimal human touching and almost natural condition, then nods slightly to Albrecht's question.

“Yes. Almost like a king. In fact, when the Bedouin Kint invaded from the north, King Guillaume mustered his forces, but Reynald did not respond. When the Hero King smashed the Vidu Kint and stormed into the castle with his army, he didn't come out. And negotiations took place, and the conditions for funding and supplies during the Anglia invasion were shorted. I've never seen Reynald in person, but it's clear that he's going to be king. ”

Albrecht scratches the crown in his hand for no reason. Do they want the king of Veles or just want to be independent and serve a new king? Louise didn't even know.

‘The King......’

Not only this world, but the elite everywhere wanted to go to the end, and most nobles wanted to be kings in their dreams.

The powerful and capable among them killed the king themselves, and the thoughtful among them killed the king at least by drawing a line of natural defense.

Albrecht doesn't know what Reynald is, but he seems to be one of those who do.

Albrecht suddenly remembers the kings he had met all his life.

Young King Conrad, Leopold who fought with him, Amaz, Queen Rosamund of Anglia, Wild King Lemon, King Kimmum, and King Heinrich who terrorized his homeland, King Karl who led him to stop Albrecht...... and King Albrecht of Lysen......

What a king. Albrecht was clear in his beliefs and knew what he was going to do, but he thought purely of the king people thought he was.

What kind of a king is this that makes people so obsessed with Earth and here? In other words, the king meant the pinnacle of power.

Perhaps the pursuit of power did not even know human nature, so I thought that no matter how much time passes, the king would not disappear.

But in king terms, it was the pinnacle of power in one region or another.

Albrecht was emperor of the king and wanted to show them that there was someone there.

Though essentially the pinnacle of emperor, king, or power, Albrecht thought, as the philosophers Hobbs and Locke have said, that central power must be monopolized to prevent chaotic civil war.

Of course, they were talking about the modern nationalism in terms of the amount of sovereignty represented by social contracts, and there was a difference that Albrecht forced himself to press.

How good it would be to have peace in mutual respect, but even if it were only possible temporarily, it was essentially possible in a paradise where it could not be in reality.

There have been numerous historical cases on Earth. "Peace," in other words, meant that someone would monopolize, or confer order on, violence.

When Albrecht consolidates the entire North continent into one world, the war that has been fought in the Middle East has turned into a civil war. The emperor will not tolerate it.

In the history of the Earth, many dynasties have used various methods to end the civil war. One of them refused to acknowledge the soldier, but Albrecht did not want to.

Albrecht hated himself for not being able to solve the problem because he couldn't take care of all the incoming stools.

I respected all local authority, but I had to control them. It was possible, both militarily and privately, because Albrecht was the best in the world.

The rain was pouring down around the sperm, and the garden was more vibrant green than ever before.

Albrecht's mind is wrapped around the crown. The characters around him were all secretly gazing at the king with some sort of emotion.

A scattered raindrop settles on the Albrecht Ball. Albrecht wipes the raindrops off his mind.

When Albrecht thought of the king, he remembered the former young king. He lowered his gaze slightly and looked at the crown and said without looking at Zigmunt.

“What happened to the young king? ”

Sigmund coldly looks at Albrecht and says,

“Dead.”

“How did he die? ”

“Three years after I locked him up in the tower, he kept on sucking on me like I was sucking on rats. She kept calling her mother day and night, and she died. ”

Power was far from happiness as it approached.

The same was true of those who were born as kings, regardless of their own will. The pinnacle of power was miserable when it crashed as high as that.

Albrecht never spoke again. The rain started to thicken.
