Dragon Poor

171. The Most Shining Candle (2)

“The people were not afraid of hunger and disease, and the king and nobles looked after them as if they were my offspring. There was justice in the swords of the knights, and the songs of the wizards were full of wisdom and truth. ”

The King's voice, which was as powerful as singing a hero poem, soon turned dark.

“It was the most glorious time, but it was not long, and the beginning of it all was foreigners. ”

The heavy voice echoes through an empty chamber.

“It was the Gentiles who brought me the most splendor. And it was the pagans who pushed the rich into times of grim despair more than ever before. ”

The king said, "The new world the estramorwn cried out for was so sweet that many people were tempted to dream the same dream."

Kim Sun-hyuk seemed to know what the dream was, but he did not interfere but listened to King Theodore's explanation.

“There was a great war. Many famous generals died, and the proud knights and the wise wizards became drowsy. The grains in the field rotted away because no one could harvest them. The plague spread through the fields of undefeated corpses, and after a long war, kings and nobles could not trust each other. ”

It was no different from the visas on the continent that Einste Geneger, the royal inspector, had come to investigate the mines found in the territory.

“Everything was returning before the days of glory. The technologies that solved people's hunger were presidential, and the beneficial laws and systems that strengthened the system were abolished. All the things that the Gentiles brought into this world were not understood, but were not allowed to be declared a taboo. After the Great War, the Unsullied of the Realm decided to erase everything. However, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't erase something completely, so I was a stranger hiding in the world. ”

King Theodore's gaze deepens.

“In times of unrest, some foreigners were fortunate to have survived as nobles, and some of them as monarchs of a country. ”

No way, Kim Sun-hyuk looked directly at King Theodore.

“Our Adesden is one of the descendants of the estramorwn who have survived so. ”

“What the hell! ”

No way. The truth that I expected, but couldn't be surprised, he woke up in his place without my knowing it.

“It was my ancestor who rebuilt Adenberg, who had failed to recover the damage he had suffered in the war in the past, and survived the Purge 200 years ago. ”

It was not a mistake to hear. King Theodore has repeatedly told me that his ancestors were foreigners.

“Ah…. ”

It was strange from the beginning. The Kingdom of Athens was too kind and discriminatory for a mere stranger. The only discrimination he could feel was the restraint of the nobles.

“No way, so Adenberg is more of a stranger than any other kingdom…. ”

Kim Sun-hyuk thought it was all due to a reasonable royal disposition. But it wasn't.

“Banishing the estramorwn is no different than denying your own lineage. ”

The kingdom of Athens itself was descended from the Gentiles.

“I, too, am like you, and I have status, skills, and sickness. ”

Maybe I was too shocked. He was not surprised to hear that King Sassam Theodore now holds the status quo. I just let out a sigh of complicated emotions.

“The ancestors could unite the kingdoms that were scattered by their abilities and reclaim the past. However, the greed became poisonous, so Gear found the estramorwn who live in secret identity and offspring and formed a relationship with the clan, and it became a poisonous holy shrine in my generation. It was diluted and faded, and it could not be borne by the blood of only Adesden. ”

King Theodore grudgingly finished his sentence.

“That is why the blood of Adesden must die. ”

I just wanted to tell you how to prolong the life of the current king in the sight of death, but I've heard so many stories.

I was confused.

It was also surprising that the Royal Ades were descended from the Gentiles, but I had no idea why they shared such important secrets with themselves.

“What you offered me in exchange was inevitably meant not to burden me. But I understand the difficulty, which must have been considerable, until you were the one to offer me an offer. ”

The king's words were not wrong. He actually had to worry a lot. However, in the end, the wise ruler of Adesden decided that he wanted to extend his life a little bit, and in the form of trading, he did not make it as burdensome as possible for each other.

“Even if your offer was simply reckless due to political ignorance, I am more than willing and willing to trust your offer. ”

But what do I do with this?

“Drahon. You are the true blood of Adesden. No, it's more than blindness. ”

I haven't picked up the merchandise yet, but I received a lot of money even though it was a down payment.

“Even if the criticism you suggest does not solve my problem, it will never change. ”

King Theodore's eyes were filled with trust and affection without ever before.

“This is an oath to lay down the blood of Adesden, and also to lay down my soul for it. ”

The echo in his voice was so deep that it was just a word. It felt like I was really risking my life.

Hwa-oh!

But it wasn't just the mood.

A sudden flash of light emanates from King Theodore's body and begins spreading like a thread.

“What the hell... ”

Softly but vigorously, a majestic and noble will touched his soul through the light.

“I am the owner of the Dual Class. And this is one of my many diseases, the skill of the" king, "the promise that can never be broken, the absolute declaration, and the" oath of the king. "”

I didn't think I'd be surprised anymore, but I was wrong.

“All the nobles, knights, and numerous blind men who pledged allegiance to the House of Adesden will treat me as if I were to be with you in the future. ”

The fact that the King's Disease Department had neither heard nor seen the word "King" was surprising to the extent of the effect.

“Cough!”

Sudden coughing, Kim Sun-hyuk suddenly raised his head and solidified.

The Pale Born King's complexion was much worse than it had just been, and the sound of a cough mixed with brittle weeds was ominous.

“Are you all right?”

The king coughed for a long time before answering his questions. And when she finally stopped coughing and opened her mouth, the king's flickering lips were stained with a red dot.

“I am a cunning man. In case your criticism doesn't work out. ”

The King's voice was more powerful than ever.

“The skills you just gave me for my life, you would know their value and weight. ”

Maybe it's the mood. It seems like King Theodore's face is blurrier and weaker than it used to be.

“I have risked a part of my life and have kept the nobles and knights loyal to me from rebelling against you. If you have a kind heart, you will pay a reasonable price for it, but I intend to ask you for the price I intend to pay. ”

It was freezing, but it was enormous to have the support of the entire royal support. As Sun Hyuk Kim, I couldn't imagine what I would have to pay for it.

“Please take good care of Ofelia. ”

But King Theodore's successive demands were neither as great nor as he expected.

“I want you to keep Ofelia at your side so she doesn't fall to Sepha. ”

The king's voice emphasized several times because he was worried that he might not have heard it well. He was closer to his father than he was to the ruler of a country.

I felt the earnest sincerity, and Kim Sun-hyuk became heavier.

“The count is incorrect. That's not a favor to me. ”

The king's expression hardened for a moment.

“She's also my fiancée. ”

It was a somewhat wrong answer to accept the request, but inside it was a promise that I would take care of myself without asking.

King Theodore smiled and said, "Do you understand the meaning of this?"

“I had forgotten for a moment. Just as Ofelia is my beloved daughter, she is your lifelong companion. ”

His answer was more truthful than a hundred vows, and the king asked with a comfortable face.

“Then I will demand a new price from you. ”

There were many stories, but the most important things that had not yet come out came out of the mouth of the king.

“Tell me the price I must pay to stay in this world for a while longer. ”

Kim Sun-hyuk replied.

“Correcting a loose balance. Abandoning forces we cannot afford. It is the only way to change the details of His Majesty. ”

* *

After leaving the lockroom, Kim Sun-hyuk's expression was heavy.

‘Why?'

The conversation with King Theodore just now continues to take place in my mind.

"Why don't you accept it? ’

‘When I held the sword, my sword awoke, and when I recited the spell, it became magic. So I didn't hold the sword, and I didn't chant magic. Not only that, I've lived by suppressing all of the abilities I was given. ’

‘Then why did you come now... ’

‘All that remains of me is the disease of the king, and sealing it up is like telling me to be the culprit. ’

King Theodore gave up on prolonging his own life.

‘I will live as an incompetent father and die as a king, rather than burden the princess. That is why I must refuse your offer. ’

He said that his incompetence as the king of one kingdom is a sin that is nothing more than the world, and that he does not want to be a sinner.

Kim Sun-hyuk persuaded me several times, but I ended up failing.

‘Please take good care of Ofelia and Adenberg. ’

At the end of a passage that sounded like a will, King Theodore returned to him complaining of deep fatigue. The aftermath of the skill 'The King's Oath’ was greater than I expected.

[How'd it go?]

“Your Majesty has declined my offer. ”

Geheim asked as if he had been waiting for me when I returned to my quarters.

[I knew it.]

He couldn't help but ask, a little dragon's attitude, as if he had guessed from the beginning.

“How? Why did the king refuse the offer? ”

[Humans are willing to die for something more important than life and death.]

“What's more important than surviving! If you're so worried about your daughter, you can stay alive and take care of her yourself! ”

I felt overwhelmed by decisions I couldn't understand, and I felt sorry for them. Gehymnis gives the horse in a gentle tone to him, shouting.

[His way of caring for the blood resembles hers. It is not foolish or bad to offer and wait for your own way rather than to lead and take care of yourself.]

A mysterious light flows from Geheim's body. Kim Sun-hyuk, who came into contact with the light, felt that his previous grades had just vanished like a lie.

“Ah…. ”

Realizing that his feelings were somewhat heightened, he calmed his heart with a low breath.

[You can tell by looking at you. Her parenting wasn't wrong. And maybe his own flesh and blood will be just as good on their own as yours.]

The sad heart sank, but the question remained.

“You assumed it all, why did you tell me that? You didn't think I'd show up. ”

If you knew King Theodore would make such a choice, as he said, then why did you inform yourself?

[On behalf of my locked mouth, I wanted him to tell you a lot.]

“What?"

Whatever this meant, Kim Sun-hyuk frowned.

[Summon. The reason your estramorwn came into this world, I wanted you to be one step closer to the truth.]

“Is that what the dragon wants? ”

To his question, Fairy Dragon gave a meaningful glance.

[No, this is my wish, not her will. And so many dragon slaves want it.]

* *

Time passed quickly in the royal family, and Kim Sun-hyuk was able to talk a lot with King Theodore in the meantime. The king treated him as a true family, as he proved his oath that day, and there were no restrictions.

It looked like it was being treated as an heir.

The nobles who stayed to attend the royal ceremony saw him and began to get excited. Even though King Theodore was a royal son-in-law and heir to the next throne, his attitude toward King Theodore was too friendly and unappreciated.

In addition, the nobles of the royal family followed and supported the nobles without a doubt, so they were crazy and adorable as nobles.

But whether they have any questions or not, time has passed, and Princess Ofelia, who finally came to her senses, breaks the chipper.

“Huh?"

Kim Sun-hyuk, who was talking next to King Theodore, fell asleep again after seeing the princess.
