Dragon Poor

The late Ashtein protests strongly.

“On the big side, the demand for a foreign country is really small and insignificant. If you can't even accept that, the only way to do that is to review the conditions in the first place. ”

But King Theodore was a floater.

“Do it if you want. No matter how long it takes, I don't care. ”

I didn't expect the late King of Assyria to come to the end of the negotiations and place his banner on his own.

“But you will know. Whose side is time on? ”

Earl Ashtein bites his lip tightly at the words of King Theodore. It's because he wasn't wrong. King Theodore's expression remained unchanged despite the scourge of the enemy's arrogantly staring at him. I simply waved a short hand to encourage the officials and left the meeting room.

“Perhaps I should reconcile the terms. ”

The High Commissioner of Adenberg, who was talking to another official who came to the conference room while he was talking to the king, gave a meaningful look.

“I'll double the bounty you deserve. ”

“What are you talking about! ”

At this point, the bargaining chieftain shouts in rage.

“You've done enough for me already! And now you want to double your compensation? ”

“I have one piece of news for you, considering the Marquis is out of the country. Listen carefully."

The bureaucrat of Adenberg relaxes as he watches the monarch protest with his face flared.

“I just received word that Griffindor's army has breached your western border. ”

“What the…. ”

The monarch leans forward to let the rest of the chair fall behind him, raising his head as if he could catch the neck of a bureaucrat.

“Apparently, there are at least three regiments for the mobilized force. Seeing them move like this, it won't be easy to chase them away, waiting for the day to come when everything is ready. ”

In the following description, the erl stumbles to see if his legs have loosened. Later, Noctune's figures rush in and make a fuss about supporting him.

‘But you will know. Whose side is time on? ’

The officials of Adenberg looked at King Theodore's closed eyes, reminiscing about what he had left behind.

“Over time, the amount of compensation will increase. So think about it and judge. ”

The moment he heard a voice as confident as his own, the prince instinctively felt it.

This negotiation was a complete failure.

Soon news of the end of all negotiations with Noctane reached Kim Sun-hyuk's ears. He calls for joy, just waiting for the negotiations to end. The time has finally come for our long-awaited reward.

But there was something I needed to check first. He finds the Marquis of Lanehart, and meets the Marquis with ease.

“The conditions under which the noctane was hung were null and void. ”

“Why?”

“You don't seem too happy about it. ”

Although it was true, Kim Sun-hyuk once again asked why Noctane's offer was not accepted.

“You wished the spear of the kingdom would not rust like the other swords. ”

In the end, it was like he was going to roll over and use it on behalf of the knights with his feet tied. He shrunk his shoulders, and the baron kicks his tongue and explains the background of a sudden negotiation settlement.

“Noctune wanted answers somehow, but the king refused and became noisy all the way to the Western border. The longer we endured, the more the compensation, depending on the circumstances. ”

No matter how favorable Noctane was, it would have been a burden to wage war against both countries at once.

“Whatever happens, you'll have more work to do in the future. ”

“Well, now that the Drake Cavalry's gone, I guess we're good with territory, right?" ”

Earl Reinhardt's words detest him, and he takes a step back. Seeing him like that, the Marquis kicked his tongue again.

“Even the Mansk elders will not be completely detached from the West after the return of Fort Carlsten has officially resigned as commander of the Western Army, but they will not be able to cover the entire West as they once did." ”

Kim Sun-hyuk was deeply moved by the words of the erl. The new commander and Mansk said it was a matter to be resolved and strongly stated that they would step aside. However, the Marquis assured me that he, who was more famous than anyone else in the Western army, would not be able to back down.

In the end, he didn't want to, but the reputation he had built caught up with him. Nevertheless, he did not worry.

I don't know how far the promises will go in this world where there is so much war, but it is because I knew that this negotiation was a promise not to cross the border of Adenberg for the next decade.

“Well, think what you want. You should know by now that war isn't just about defense. ”

However, the Marquis's words were unknowingly meaningful. He opened his eyes later as his head began to roll.

“Griffindor's invasion... ”

“Yes. All by His Majesty. ”

In the answer of the late Reinhardt, Kim Sun-hyuk's heart sank. Now I thought the war was completely well, but it wasn't when I saw it coming. The monarch suggested the possibility of a breakthrough, saying Griffindor's role will change in the future.

“Damn it.”

Despite the possibility of a grand finale, the Kingdom became a festive atmosphere. The victory ceremony and events that had been postponed since the negotiations began late.

The first thing that came out was a controversial dispute about those who built up their balls in this war.

“Having not been able to read the number of Noctane, there has been a great deal of damage, how can I be rewarded as the General in charge of the front lines?" I, Wittenfeld Lloyd Mansk, will not make a move here until the day Adenberg returns Carlstein to Nochstein. ”

However, Commander Mansk, who took over Fort Karlstein and built the biggest ball, pleaded to stay at Karlstein until the day he returned the fort, refusing all awards for his own faults that had not been dealt with properly in the previous invasion.

Obviously, people's attention was towards the person who built the next ball, since the biggest ball didn't even appear that way.

That was Kim Sun-hyuk.

“From the history of Adenberg, no one has ever done more than this in such a short period of time and quickly risen in status."

King Theodore at the Victory Ceremony was still filled with charisma of the king. The nobles couldn't even breathe while King Theodore was speaking, even though he had a full smile on his face.

“I also had a lot of concerns in the Royal Family. It's because I had no idea which award to award. ”

In a few years, it was such a disruptive move to bring an end cavalry to the Earl's seat. The royal concerns were more natural.

“Listen to Earl Drahon! ”

At King Theodore's words, Kim Sun-hyuk bows on his knees. Now, many nobles have vomited their admiration for the skillful royal manner.

“I hereby acknowledge the title of the honorary Earl and call your territory the Earl. It is not difficult to cast a new vomit, but considering the efforts of Earl Drahn who has worked on the LINE PEEL so far, this has no meaning as a reward. I will transfer women of child-bearing age and strong men to Linefall 2,000 each, and I will send a hundred craftsmen to be the basis for the resurrection of the land. The Crown will also pay all expenses until they take their place. ”

It was a great reward to send more than 4,000 men and women to the territory in this world where numbers soon became the financial capital of the territory. But the king's reward continued, because the ball was so big that each victory was symbolic.

“I will unleash fifty horses selected from the royal stables under the care of the crown, and I will unleash a hundred pieces of armor and a well-refined sword. In addition, three hundred and two pigs and cows each.... ”

At first, I had a ball built, so the nobles who were listening to this kind of reward as if it were natural began to open their mouths one by one. The royal reward was substantial.

“Finally, I will pay you a thousand gold coins and waive all tax obligations for the next five years. ”

On the list of awards that were too long to remember what he had received, King Theodore smiled and asked.

“There are too many of them. ”

“There are too many. But…."

After learning that King Theodore was determined to die, Kim Sun-hyuk decided to be bold.

“I'll be thankful to know that you mean to work harder. ”

Refusing the reward right now didn't seem like the royal court would leave itself stranded in the territory.

“Yes, that's it. ”

The king chuckles. I think I liked his answer.

However, the other nobles didn't look good enough to know that the reward was too much. I did not dare to complain about the majesty of King Theodore who dominates the throne, but instead I glared at him with an unyielding glance.

I think I have a little bit of hair on my back.

Even dozens of eyes filled with Jill and concern, Kim Sun-hyuk smiled at the thought that King Theodore might have intended it.

After that, it continued to be non-public. The award he received was so great that the other's award felt relatively humble, and the atmosphere became somewhat aesthetic. King Theodore raises his cup and shouts, "Did you feel this?"

“Don't think about tomorrow for today, drink until you're drunk! This is the king's command. Whoever does not get drunk today shall remember me! ”

“As I command! ”

Everyone acknowledged that the victory to celebrate today was a monumental victory that would last forever in the history of the kingdom, but at first the nobles who pretended to enjoy it because they couldn't win over the king quickly became overjoyed.

“Drink by my side. Don't go to Amen's. Don't inject her. ”

Seeing the Marquis of Lanehart sneaking out his cup about when he was approaching, he looked like Kim Sun-hyuk was confused.

“Is it okay for the head of the guard to just eat like that? ”

“Haven't you heard? If you're not drunk today, the king will see you. ”

In the end, he filled the cup with wine, emptied with the expression that his hands and feet were lifted.

“When will you return to the land? ”

“The event we've been waiting for is almost over, so I'm just going to take care of a few errands and get going. It's been so long since I've left the territory that I'm starting to get worried. ”

“I see.”

The baron quickly gives you an empty glass. After realizing the prince's intentions, he removes the cup in my hand and takes the cup given to him by the prince.

“The first time I saw him, he was a wretched boy. He didn't die well. He came all this way. ”

He takes in the mug filled by the baron, the voice of greatness, rather than an evil joke.

“Well, I almost died many times, but I was lucky to survive. ”

“Don't be careless. Don't get cocky, don't get cocky. This is the real start. ”

The Marquis's voice was heavy without before.

“More or less than just a concerned stranger until now, but from now on it will be different. All the enemies' attention will always be around you, and they will try to stab you as soon as they see the gap. ”

It's a scary story when I hear it. He stroked his neck without even knowing it, but the Marquis continued to look at the nobles who were sweeping this way and far away.

“Don't think that a master only flies in front of you. Despite his majesty, the nobles' greed is more than you think. ”

“I'll keep that in mind.”

“Now you are the most powerful sword in Adenberg on the battlefield where knights and wizards cannot stand. So don't let it get to you. ”

Listening to the erl's repeated request, the only hangover I had left flew away. The Marquis smiles at him with a clear look in his eyes.

“If it's too much trouble, it's not a bad idea to throw it all away and join the Royal Knights. I and the royal court will gladly protect you. ”

“You were going to say that from the beginning. ”

Kim Sun-hyuk smiled and jokingly asked, feeling that the atmosphere was getting heavier somewhat lighter, and the baron waved his hands a few times and left.

“You said you drink until you're drunk. ”

There was no intoxication anywhere in the sight of the glittering Marquis, perched behind King Theodore.

* *

After the victory ceremony, Kim Sun-hyuk sent an errand boy to some knights while finishing his schedule in the royal family. The first to hear from him was Ryden Leyrak, the Lightning Blade.

“That's how you talk about me, right? ”

I've heard the stories of Ryden Leyrak defending his defeat. Naturally, his gaze at the speechless loser couldn't have been prettier.

Ryden Leyrak clams his mouth instead of making excuses. The last defeat was still unacceptable. The Black Lightning Bolt vigorously burns my willingness to swear at you through today's encounter.

“Once is good, but twice is good. ”

He twitches his hand as he did the day Leirak lost miserably. Ryden Leyrak looks at it and raises his sword with a cold look.
