Civilization Game

It turns out that Arc killed Guinevere and Empire is in a frenzy again.

The arc claimed Guinevere had confessed to his crimes and executed him immediately, but no one believed him. The rumor of Arc's madness and the fact that he killed the fiancée with his own hands aggravated the public opinion. The colonists now call Arc the Mad King.

The protector returned to Empire to somehow turn the cluttered atmosphere into a crisis.

This is not the time for us to be fighting each other! Soon, Abyss will have Empire surrounded. We must unite our people to defend our home! ’

But Lord didn't intend for the protection to go through. He stepped into a political war instead of an Empire siege. These political dukes were the hallmarks of a country called Lord and Abyss.

‘Our Abyss wants rule, not invasion. I have no intention of hastening the attack on Empire. ’

"Think about the living legend, Gawain's character. Why would someone as loyal and upright as her have escaped the arc? ’

‘What Arc did to the Ghosts is truly terrible. Percival was turned into a deserter, Gawain into a limb, Lilly and Bedivere led to tragedy, and Guinevere was brutally murdered. ’

"His execution on the Territorial Terrorist is nothing more than a horrific genocide in the search for spies! We have to stop now. ’

There was a story that Lord himself claimed, and there was a story that spread in the territory.

Waving Empire both inside and out, Lord has made a new offer to Casar. It was similar to the one I used to use against Arogenes.

"The purpose of our Abyss is only One Royal." If you give me the Tyrant Arc, I swear to the gods I will not lay a hand on Empire. Empire will be granted permanent autonomy. ’

He insisted that we block the Gateway, the only way to Empire, and then hand over the arc. Of course, this was a ridiculous request, and it sounded like a yield bell. It was unlikely that an offer would be made, but Lord felt it was enough to make the colonists' minds disoriented. His goal is to accelerate chaos. Brainy against the invader Abyss, not response, but internal detonation.

The roads weren't just a siege, but they were preparing to siege the Gulf's capital at the only exit, and Empire was getting into an increasingly chaotic mess.

*

Protect was in Empire's dungeon.

The dark basement, where there was no sunlight, was filled with the smell of moisture and mold. The expression of protection walking there revealed deep agony and conflict.

The guard arrives at the lowest level of the prison, and the guards raise a window and block it.

“Bo, Lord Protect! From here on in, we cannot enter without His Majesty's permission! ”

The guard glares at them with cold eyes.

“... Do I have to go back to the palace in this busy time and report back to you with His Majesty's permission? ”

“Ha, Haona...! ”

“I won't tell you again, get out of my way. ”

After the arc became strange, Casar's fate was to be protected no matter what. The guards take a quick look at his compulsion and retreat.

The guard looks around the bottom floor and stops in front of one of the solitary confinements.

“I need to talk to you alone, so step back. ”

“Yes, old! ”

The guard who drove all the guards there finally threw his horse into the darkness between the prison spears.

“Long time no see, Praetor. ”

“ ……. ”

It was a man who wriggled in the dark. The hair of the long hair, the dirty long beard, and the body smelled awful because they couldn't wash.

“…… Oh, it's been a while. Lord Protect?”

I heard the voice of a grown man howling.

“Yes.”

“I don't feel sorry for you because you failed to treat me. What brings you to this place? Noble Master Knight. ”

Protect is closing in on the spear.

“I'm here to talk. ”

“…… Conversation? ”

“You were once a pretender wielding great power in the House of Caesar. Suddenly, you were imprisoned in the depths of the dungeon and banned from access to the throne. Arc only encompasses the fact that you planned the plot, but has avoided further explanation. ”

Fluffy. You hear the Praetor make a proper posture. Protect continued.

“The reason Arc was able to be supported by all the people is because he made excuses and excuses to accommodate even when implementing radical policies. But the current arc isn't. Recently, he even killed his fiancée with his own hands. ”

“…… Ah, Guinevere finally…… ”

He sighs bitterly.

“I've been thinking about it for a long time. When did the arc become such a wielding tyrant who had given him such a rational reason? At first, I thought I had been defeated by Rod Polentia since I returned to Empire. But when I think about it, there's more to it than that. That's when the Tribune put you away. ”

“ ……. ”

“Tell me, Praetor. What crime have you been imprisoned here for? Are you sure you're up to this? ”

The man in the dark said, keeping silence.

“…… Did Lord Protect come to cover the sins of the old man in this state? Tell me what you think. ”

“Okay, this is just a guess……. ”

The guard opened its eyes sharply.

“You are our Catholic priest, aren't you? ”

“ ……! ”

The man in the dark couldn't hide his surprised expression.

“I always thought it was strange. There's one priest in every kingdom. Those who, by the will of the gods, seek to make the king they serve the sole emperor of the continent. Even when the only emperor on the continent appeared hundreds of years ago, there were priests. It was unacceptable for a man who was not chosen by the High Septon to call him King. ”

“…… You know very well. ”

“Similarly, the High Septon, who received the revelation, is in charge of the affairs of the kingdom at the king's favor. That's Bianca in Aland.That's Eve in Abyss. But... ”

The guard gazes at the man in the dark.

“Why don't we have a Catholic priest? ”

“Hahaha!”

The Praetor stops laughing and opens his mouth.

“You seem to know everything. What would you hide? Yes, the shrine is Caesar's Shrine. ”

“…… Then tell me. Why would a priest be locked up in a place like this with the king's affections on his back? ”

“… Hmm. ”

The Praetor was silent for a moment as if he was reminiscing about the past.

“…… I guess it's because I missed the mark. ”

“What's that supposed to mean? ”

“Let me tell you a story of a time when I was still a Tribune. At that time, I didn't appreciate the king I had to serve. As a king, I could not find dignity, I was mischievous on the axis, I was illuminating women, and I enjoyed my dirty privacy. It was so far from the king that I thought. ”

Protect recalls Arc's behavior and nods with a look of understanding a hundred times.

“I wanted you to have a virtue as king, and I followed your story. And it became a strange, awkward relationship. ”

“Well, I don't think arc was the only one who nagged, so he's the type of guy who'd put himself in jail. ”

The Praetor nods.

“…… Yes, there was a defining cause. ”

“What is it? ”

“Just promise me one thing before you continue. What I'm about to tell you may be difficult and incomprehensible. But please refrain from asking questions and just listen. The predecessor cannot answer the question. ”

“... I will. ”

Protect agreed freely.

“Our priests can use some of the tools given to them by the gods. ”

From the beginning, the look of protection was hard on the difficult story.

“We can't tell the public what it is, so we understand. His Majesty has forbidden the use of his" tools. "He told me to hide the fact that I was a priest. At that time, the predicament was difficult to understand. The Divine Constabulary is for the sake of supporting the king, and you forbid it... You didn't give me a reasonable explanation. ”

The Praetor closed his eyes and became more and more delusional.

“…… I felt that you were afraid of something. I don't know what you're afraid of. So, to let you know that I can help with this power, I've done a little bit of work with tools. ”

It was a long story, but the guard nodded and listened.

“Then one day, the king called me because he knew that I had been using tools. ”

I've been hanging up here for a while. The emotions in the face of the bystander reminiscing about the past were frightening.

“... I still can't forget the look in your eyes that day. Ah, the king, who was always full of pranks, was looking at the sign with hatred and a distorted gaze. I can't believe you can still look at me like that... And from that day on, the plague was imprisoned. ”

The story was over. Protect recalled what he had heard for a moment in his mind.

“…… Well, there are some things I don't understand, but I can understand. Arc hates it when his men go out of control. Perhaps the Praetor is over the line set by Arc. It's a terrible thing to imprison you for the rest of your life for disobeying orders. ”

“… that's probably because I'm a Buddhist. ”

“Did the Arc find it dangerous to use the 'tools’ that the Praetor spoke of? ”

The Praetor was silent this time. Right, no questions asked. Protect nodded in the sense of acceptance.

“I've heard the stories. Now, in contrast to that, let me ask you a personal question. ”

“…… interesting. You haven't even gotten to the point? ”

“Please answer me. ”

The guard opened its mouth with a solemn face.

“I've known Arc since childhood. Arc's personality has changed three times so far. The first arc was pure and bloody when it was a child. The second arc is flawless, odd but perfect in every way. And the third, right now, arc of suspicion and tyranny. ”

Protect was also having a difficult conversation, but the Praetor listened without blinking an eye.

“After considering a lot of time, this is the conclusion I came to. The arc that I spent my childhood with and the arc is just like the way I am now. I had completely different personalities, ideas and ideas. Arc doesn't even remember anything from his childhood. ”

“… Lord Protect. The question is.... ”

“Please answer me. Praetor, no. Praetor. ”

Protect cuts the horse and speaks in decisive tone.

“If you had received the revelation, you would know. Are the arcs now and the arcs before them truly the same? ”

“ ……. ”

There was deep silence. The two of them stood there without saying anything.

After nearly an hour of silence, the protection reopened.

“I'll ask again. Are current arcs and former arcs the same person? ”

There was no answer from the Praetor this time. There was no conversation between the two of them. After a long time, the protection turns away.

“I understand. ”

Protect has escaped from the dungeon.

I'm reminded of that priest of Aruges because he was divine; damn; he was a good believer.

I didn't feel bad about @ Haledame/Casar, but I wanted to describe a country that was being ruined by this tragedy. Guinevere has many personalities and many potential characters, but haha.

@ Kulera/As you say! The wider the front, the greater the utilization of intelligent heroes. In this episode, Tia increases the usefulness of a character who knows how to make a game like she did with Percival. Ben is playing the role, but it's a little lacking compared to a professional soldier. And since Abyss is not a country of war... pure power must be pushed to another country. We are now combining specialist soldiers and heroes from other countries to somehow complement it, but the lack of firepower will remain the downside of Abyss.

@ Niallatothep/T_T_A_Guinevere...

@ llSongOfBladell/Tech adopted a system of civilization rather than a star. What's important for the development of the age is the cultural power, not just because there's a lot of resources, but because there's a lot of variables. The more you conquer, the slower you accelerate the cultural growth of other countries as they enter and mix. It's faster to focus solely on the development of culture and technology in your own country.

@... (-1).../Doors are guarding the Underheim! I haven't seen much of a doorway lately.

@ Park Seong-bin/Oh, I read this comment and accepted it right away; Percival is the perfect counter for Vinosh;
