Albrecht is at the heart of the Rose where Rosamund lives.
The morning sun came in through the window to illuminate the room, but it wasn't a room that was decorated like that, but the cute furniture and antiques fit well with the quiet morning atmosphere.
In the bedroom, Rosamund is sleeping, and Albrecht looks down at his son, who is sleeping in his cradle.
Rosamund was always there for her, not to leave Siegfried to his nanny, but to take care of her own son while breastfeeding.
Albrecht felt like he was going to fly just when Rosamund became pregnant and gave birth to a son, but soon the heavy responsibility rested on his shoulders.
I feel more responsible than I did for building the empire. Truly, for Albrecht, his son was heavier than anything in the world.
Looking at my son quietly reminded me of my father who died over and over again.
‘When you were born, you were my own hope. But I never thought I'd let me down like this. Just for you! I've lived for you! ’
When I recall the words my father used to shout at his neck, Albrecht's eyes gradually subside.
Even after saying that, I remembered how my father used to look red when Albrecht was kicked out of his hometown.
Now I felt like I knew that feeling a little bit. I felt again how much I had sinned.
There was an emperor at the top of every man's world, but he couldn't fill it.
Recently, Albrecht was uncomfortable because his mother's health had also deteriorated, but there was still something I had to do.
Albrecht gazes at Siegfried, who is writhing and sleeping, and quietly steps out of his room.
There was no one in the corridor of Rose Castle. The maids couldn't just stand in front of the emperor, so they were all breathing in the waiting room listening to Albrecht's footsteps.
Salvatore, the imperial palace butler, and the guards stood by as they stepped out of the Rose Castle.
With a dark blue silk tunic with a World Water Tube on its head and two swords on its waist, Albrecht stepped into the Nature ( ) without giving them a look. Then they quietly followed behind the Emperor.
Salvatore follows behind Albrecht.
“Lord Tarantus awaits. With Lord Gunnar. ”
Albrecht did not answer because it was already known. I just quietly made fun of my feet and headed back to my nature.
Ragnar finally gained the east, but Gisela had nothing left in his hands.
Hestein was captured by Ragnar and sentenced to a bloody eagle. Ragnar poured out a potion and executed him for a week. I could see how terrible it must have been.
He had his own son, but left everything behind and snuck away again. Rumor has it he's going to the Eastern continent.
Albrecht looks at the scattered guards from afar and thinks about them for a moment.
When I first saw him, I felt like myself somewhere. He was coarse, not bent on anyone, and the way he lived his life resembled his younger self.
Ragnar massacred those who were ignorant and merciless.
Those who are taller than the wheels of a donkey or horse cart were said to have killed both men and women. Of the Taranthus residents, there were very few locals.
One surprising thing was that more people killed Albrecht than did Ragnar.
After my father died, I killed all the nobles of the North, sold hundreds of thousands of Bedukins as slaves, or killed the rest of them.
They say it was necessary to build a kingdom, but no personal feelings at all?
Even if Albrecht denies it himself, the world says the Emperor's father died and the nobles of the North paid the price.
The difference between Albrecht and Ragnar varied in many ways, including the nature, motivation and direction of the act, but the outcome was different.
While Albrecht was praised by the people, Ragnar remained merely a butcher. It was the difference between the abundance in the past and the ruins.
After all, Ragnar is gone, and his son is Lord of Eastern Tarantus. The Eastern War has been shortened to the form of a shrine of warriors who served under Gunnar and followed Ragnar.
How many years will it take for the East to recover? It will take at least 10 years or more. However, Albrecht was able to resolve the embargoes and conduct relay trade in the north and south as before.
As Albrecht reached his stronghold, he saw Zigmunt and his second son, and several deputies and knights standing there.
When they see Albrecht, they look down. You walk past them and enter the fortress alone.
In the morning, the sunlight enters a colorful stained glass window lined with walls and is plugged into a central red carpet.
The renowned cracked throne of the Lysen Kingdom was moved to another place like an antique, and a newly built throne appeared.
When I heard the Elves gave the coffin to the Emperor, the Dwarves made a throne and sent it as a gift.
You're not decorated with more gold or jewels than you thought, and you look like you carved a huge chunk of iron into it.
I felt overwhelmed by the heavy mass rather than the glamour overwhelmed by the viewer.
It is said to be made of iron from the heavenly mountains. Around the throne are the warriors who went to hunt the dragons with Albrecht, Albrecht who killed the dragons with axes, and the Northern District raiders on his way to Karagath, leading Dwarves and Northmen into Halstadt.
It was also engraved with Albrecht and Achillia slaying vampires.
Of course, Rosamund with a bow appeared several times in the paintings of Albrecht's foothills.
On the back of the throne were the two symbols of the empire, the ancient words and the people holding the Illudian.
All of them were engraved, powerful and dynamic, with vivid expressions and a sense of the scene.
It was much harder than carving gold with a carving skill. However, it did not seem to take into consideration the comfort of the person sitting. Horses on the throne had nothing to do with business chairs.
As Albrecht sits on the throne, a strong, cold feeling comes from his butt. Seeing Albrecht seated, Zigmunt said,
“Then I will take Albrecht, Lord of Tarantus." ”
His son's name was Albrecht. It was not that there was a habit of dodging like the Orient on Earth, and no one cared about it because it was a pretty common name among nobles.
Salvatore's servant goes to summon Tarantus' lord and party, who have been waiting in the reception hall since morning.
Soon after, a child of the same age as the emperor's youngest, Cristina, walked out with a small cape wrapped in conquest.
He looked really cute, but no one smiled in the intestine.
The lord of Tarantus rolls his eyes wide with the pressure from the place. He had Gisella's eyes somewhere, but had blond, blue eyes like Ragnar's.
The northern warriors, including Gunnar, who followed behind them, were all experienced together and exuded a feeling of full-blown ageing, creating an unbalanced feeling with the young lord.
Lord Albrecht of Taranthus looks terrified and agitated. I walked quite a long distance to the child, and continued walking along the pavement, and fell on my face before the emperor.
“Tarantuz's Youngchu, Albrecht, greets the Emperor. ”
I had to recite the title of the emperor first, and then put up an example, but it was a mistake when I heard it in fear.
Even Albrecht, Zigmunt, his knights, Salvatore and Gunnar expressionlessly faced the young lord's loving mistakes. Older or younger, he was a lord with one province.
“Nice to meet you. Lord of Tarantus, Albrecht. Rise.”
In the words of the emperor, Tarantus' lord rises to his knees with his hands on the floor. Then I rolled my big eyes and saw the notice of the emperor and the adults around me.
Albrecht also spoke to Gunnar.
“It's not much of a breakup, but nice to see you again, anyway. How have you been? ”
As the emperor spoke to Gunnar, young Albrecht swung his head and looked at the two of them alternately.
Gunnar had a bloody war, too, but he couldn't have been well. He still had tattoos all over his face and bald hair, but what was different from his breakup was that he had thick scars all over his face.
Gunnar nodded and replied.
“Thanks to Your Grace, I've been well. ”
Albrecht nods lightly, then looks back at Tarantus' young lord.
“Lord Tarantus, Albrecht. Have you seen your father? ”
Young Albrecht shakes his head. Perhaps even if you stutter from the very beginning, you will not be able to see Father Ragnar.
It was very rude to answer the Emperor's question without answering it verbally, but the emperor was not a great man who cared about it.
Albrecht remembers for a moment what looked like Ragnar's wild horse, and simply nods heavily.
“Yes, why did you want to know me? ”
Actually, it was all discussed, but it was meant to be checked in the field. His son came to replace the promise that Ragnar, the father of Albrecht, failed to keep.
“I, I, I, I want to be knighted......”
Albrecht got up from his seat and approached young Albrecht.
As Albrecht continued to draw his father's sword, young Albrecht angrily retreated and tried to hide behind Gunnar.
Gunnar gently but heavily pushes young Albrecht's back forward. The young lord lets out a tear, but in the meantime, he kneels to his right knee.
Albrecht speaks with his sword on the shoulder of another Albrecht.
“Lord Tarantus, Albrecht must always be true. To be honest, one must risk his life, and this is the mind of a knight. ”
He crosses his head again and says with his opposite shoulder.
“Don't bully the weak. This is the honor a knight must uphold. We must protect the innocent. This is the duty of the knight. ”
Albrecht picks up his sword, grabs it with both hands, and lets the sword see the ground.
“With this, Albrecht von Carragatrid is a knight. The lord and knights here are the witnesses. Stand up.”
Young Albrecht is sweating cold. When the sword reached his throat, it was extremely anxious and frightening. But I didn't cry until the end.
I got up on the floor with my hands like before. Albrecht said to Gunnar, pulling in his sword with skill.
“Albrecht will stay in the Imperial Palace and be educated until he has an adult ceremony. I'll take the oath of allegiance then. In the meantime, you will take good care of Tarantus. ”
Albrecht said he would take the lord of Tarantus hostage and raise him in the Imperial Court as a man of absolute loyalty.
It was also about building the Crown Prince's support base as he grew up with Siegfried.
The oath of allegiance was intended for the Crown Prince to receive, and all this was from Sigmund.
Sigmund's cold eyes turn towards Gunnar. Gunnar merely bowed his head to the Emperor.
The power relationship was too complicated for young Albrecht, now four or five years old.
Albrecht walks back to the throne, and Tarantus' lord steps back and grips the edge of Gunnar's cloak.
This is how the Eastern issues have been shortened and virtually incorporated into the realm of the Empire.
Now, the majesty of the emperor, without the need to raise an army, people find out for themselves and tighten their heads.
Confused by the Orc tribes, the Southern Congestians sent their first son, Heinrich, to deal with the problem.
Comteskia is highly mountainous, making it a favorable terrain to fortify.
Albrecht told Heinrich to build a fort with operational guidance and command the army just enough to hold the line.
Elsewhere, Albrecht made the Imperial knights roam the streets to see if there were any hostiles.
Since the days of the Kingdom of Lysen, they have been given jurisdiction by Albrecht, and they are skilled, but most of all, hand-picked.
They were mobile judges, and they did not make very reasonable judgments because of the time constraints, but at least they were conscientious and did not compromise on injustice.
And he actively nurtured the paladins of Carpen to find vampire-like hordes of vampires. I captured them and identified their network through various tortures.
Vampires, of course, are so individualistic that the right network is either absent or hard to figure out.
However, although it was confusing, it was possible to create a personality chart on a large family scale and a small family scale.
Above all, what Albrecht now cares about is the imperial immediacy.
I had to consider where I was going to undergo an immediate immediacy first. Of course, I would like to do it at Lightningen, but due to the time constraints, it was difficult to summon the lords from all over the empire.
That's why a place called Ulrich was chosen in Lower Lauren and decided to do it in a small church there.
It was hard to summon all the first-line lords because of the monsters, and it was attended by nobles such as Richard king of Veles, Lorraine kings of the Low, Duke of the Empire, and Bags of Change.
Time went on to sort things out with the Empire, and Maria became pregnant shortly after Albrecht arrived and gave birth to a son this time.
Siegfried learned to speak early and was able to say a simple word when he was 10 months old. The first thing I said was my mother.
Albrecht and Rosamund looked at such a Siegfried and looked at the face of God.
If there was one very sad thing, Albrecht's mother had died.
Albrecht did not mourn, but stayed away from the state for a month.
On August 16, Siegfried's second birthday, kings and nobles from all over the empire gathered at Ulrich with minimal force.
The kings and kings of each kingdom, including Illudian Randolph and Hermann, Zigmunt, Jurgen, Carpen, Wilhelm, Rishar, Hrrolf, Erbin, Gunnar and Valentina, have attended, and the Elves and Dwarves have sent envoys.
The flag of a majestic family, the army of each province, including Danna Elves and Dwarves, was overflowing with all kinds of spectacles in Ulrich, a thug village. The locals were bewildered and confused.
With the top powers from all over the empire gathered, ordinary people also naturally flocked to watch the events of the century.
A cool open field sits on the outskirts of a less populous city, and on a nocturnal hill is Julich's church.
Although it was a cathedral, the base building itself was built like a fortress to prevent bandits and gangsters, Albrecht added a little aesthetic to it while preparing for the immediacy.
Overall, there was a mixture of dome and spire styles, and the cathedral was small but small and firm.
Albrecht made his way out of the Knights this time because he had done it once before during King Licence's immobilization.
A crowd of cloudy people fills the field to see the Emperor, and Albrecht, dressed in golden armor with his face exposed, enters the street.
The golden armor, which had just received the light of the rising sun, wrapped the emperor in the same brilliant light as ever, and people were astonished and looked at him.
The Internet was an era without television, so people were susceptible to visual stimuli, and trembled at Albrecht's individual charisma and his achievements, his glorious golden armor.
Some are overwhelmed by the majesty of the emperor, some are inspired, and some are saved.
A cool summer breeze sweeps through the fields. Then he blows back to Albrecht and a big red cape rises from the sky.
Across the crowd, Albrecht reaches the cathedral and swiftly steps down from the horse and enters the cathedral.
Then I saw many nobles. They all peaked in the same province. I was dressed in armor or just standing there in tunic.
When the emperor entered the church, not only the nobles, but also the noblewomen and children kept their mouths shut.
On the second floor, in a space dedicated to elves, the elves start singing the chorus, and people temporarily forget their sense of reality and marvel.
In time, the lights coming in from the windows on the side of the church illuminated the center of Albrecht's walk, and there was only one light coming in from the front of the staircase.
Albrecht, emperor of the empire, took the eyes of men and walked to that one light.
Near the instant brigade were the Emperor's family. Siegfried and young Albrecht hold hands, and once again Rosamund holds the hands of young Albrecht.
I saw Elizabeth, the first daughter, who was just starting to give birth, and the other daughters held hands and looked at Albrecht.
Albrecht glances at his family with a warm look, then takes a solemn look into a single light, kneeling to the right and bowing his head.
Karfen stands beside you, holding his golden helmet in both hands and solemnly speaking.
“Since God has allowed superhumans to descend into the human world, protect mankind and protect the world from evil, Albrecht von Hoenclateur has been granted the right by God to be emperor of the empire. Forever, Empire.”
Then he put a golden helmet on Albrecht, knelt down and shouted.
“Long live the Emperor! Long live the Empire!”
Then the nobles knelt on their knees and drew their swords and landed.
“Long live the Emperor! Long live the Empire!”
Albrecht rises from his seat and sweeps people across the veil with an ignorant expression that seems to be transcending. Then I turned my head and looked at the light coming into the window.
Suddenly, the days passed through my head like a muzzle. Erik died a miserable death, his father and mother disappointed in him.
His foolishness put his friend at risk of death, fought the war for the Wittenheims, fed the Oberyns, and fought the Crusades to rule the pagans with mercy.
Then, I returned home and sprinkled a lot of blood during the Conquest War.
Whatever this all came from, what was it for? Albrecht simply glances at the light that shines on him boldly.
The golden armor shimmers when it enters the window. Then he turned around and looked at the people and said with a heavy voice.
I listened to Albrecht, stopping the Elves' annoyance and stopping everyone from escorting the Emperor.
“As Emperor of the Empire, every man has the right to live. Anyone who harms a person carelessly, regardless of his identity, will be punished accordingly. ”
Albrecht's first decree was that the bastard lord's son of Oberburn would rape Eric's wife, that Erik would kill him again, that the lord would slaughter people, and that Albrecht would no longer accept this tragic chain of killings.
It wasn't liberty, it was the right to live. For this simple, self-evident right, I have sprinkled so much blood and slaughtered so many people.
The paradox of war to end wars and the paradox of contradictions afflicted and troubled, and Albrecht was a small step for mankind that only superhumans had reached.
Of course, no matter what the imperial decree, people will suddenly be moved or the world will change immediately. However, at least the first button had to be inserted properly in order to move on to the next step.
Albrecht looks back at his son. Siegfried looks at his father as if he were watching through. Albrecht smiles from behind the heedless face shield.
