Dragon Poor

“Now that Drahon, or Ofelia, has laid the ball down, we should call him a ferryman. ”

Nowhere in the old gray voice felt the same beating as in the past.

Theodore Tiberius Roe Adesden, whom I have met for a long time, was an old sheep aged in his 70s.

Her pale hair was dull, and her wrinkled face was not shiny. The cloudy eyes no longer see a gun.

Nevertheless, King Theodore's charisma remains.

“Your Majesty.”

Kim Sun-hyuk paid tribute to the monarch who looked down at everyone.

“Come closer. I can't see your face very well. ”

I wonder if my eyesight is failing even now. King Theodore's words weigh heavily on his mind.

Until the first fall on this earth, the Kingdom of Athens was like an evil money merchant who forced the Gentiles into debt.

He threw himself into a training camp and was forced into a war after he became a courageous soldier.

All I wanted was to get out of the royal influence.

But a conversation with Earl Mansk allowed me to give up that thought. And he learned that his thoughts about the royal family were biased.

The Kingdom of Athens was a reasonable ruler.

Whenever I won a battle, I was rewarded with many things. And more than that, I was entrusted with a great kingdom. Nowhere was there any discrimination against foreigners who were unclear in origin.

I got the title of "The Next Queen's Spouse."

I had to wage a vicious battlefield, but when I left the battlefield, I became more noble than anyone else. Wealth not to envy, territory, and a beautiful and wise wife.

It was no exaggeration to say that everything he accomplished came from King Theodore's rational ideology of governance.

But then King Theodore was dying.

A curse engraved on the blood of Adesden brought this wise and powerful monarch here.

“Don't look at me like that. It's still viable. ”

“I'm sorry, Your Grace. ”

Apparently, my heart was uncovered. Kim Sun-hyuk hurriedly apologized to King Theodore.

The king waves his hand. His wrinkled hand, which revealed his bones, was eating again.

“I remember the first time I met you. ”

King Theodore's eyes recollect.

“You built a revolutionary ball, but there were many clumsy corners. And now you are the Duke, not an awkward giant. As one who has watched you grow from the very beginning, I am proud and magnificent of you. ”

The eyes full of trust saw no false corners at all.

“Ofelia is more wealthy than I am, but she was always worried because she was too straight and too flexible. I was worried that his stubbornness would poison him. But those worries have all become old news now. ”

Kim Sun-hyuk became anxious.

“From time to time, Nochstein, who used to ravage the western part of the kingdom, dared not to create a kingdom anymore, and the kingdom is now peaceful and prosperous. She is already a great king, as all of them are made regime. ”

King Theodore's words sounded like those of a man preparing for the end.

“Your Majesty.”

He could not hear the same words as the last will and testament, but the king did not stop.

“Now that I have taken away all my life's burdens, I feel more at peace than ever. ”

“Your Majesty!"

I once again call upon King Theodore. Then Theodore's gaze was upon him.

Until just now, I felt like my dull eyes were looking away at the reality.

“I've heard stories from Ofelia. You've come to the far west looking for a way to lift the curse from Adesden's blood. ”

If it was the legacy left by Mother's tree, I could revive the burnt candle that had been eaten by the curse.

“I will not accept this. ”

“Your Majesty!"

Kim Sun-hyuk was startled by the unexpected words of King Theodore. However, the king silenced him with a gesture of his hand and continued to speak with a calm face.

“I led the kingdom with all my might, though not enough, and raised a great successor named Ofelia. This was a good king. ”

King Theodore smiles.

“As a monarch, I have no regrets as a father. Since the last one is also puffy satisfied, I will be able to say that I have lived well after death. Thou shalt no longer reproach me. ”

It was a soft but abstract voice with dignity.

“The Queisha treasure you have saved will be given to Ofelia. ”

King Theodore said to save her, as her beloved daughter is also not free from the curse of blood.

Kim Sun-hyuk persuaded the king several times. Ofelia has a lot of time left, so she said she will find another solution.

But the persuasion didn't work.

“I cannot attend the welcoming banquet, but do not be discouraged as I welcome your return with my heart.

At the end of the conversation, King Theodore struggled to connect the horses as if they were rapidly exhausted.

“I have to rest now. Find me again next time. I will not refuse to meet you at any time. ”

The king closed his eyes and standing for a long time, Kim Sun-hyuk had to leave without hesitation.

* *

A war hero who laid the foundation for Adenberg's leap in winning the war against Nochtaine has returned, and a war hero who has done more than anyone in the middle of the continent.

Obviously, the welcome banquet was larger than ever.

However, the banquet that only nobles could enter was not in line with Kim Sun-hyuk's taste.

The banquet surrounded by those who hid their hearts and repeated the same words countless times was no more than torture or less for him.

He was so confused about King Theodore, he left the banquet hall with an excuse that it was a little early in the day.

Naturally, no one dared to catch him.

“Phew.”

After leaving the banquet hall, he was frustrated and wandered around the garden for a long time.

“Are you having second thoughts? ”

Ofelia asked me if I was concerned about my husband's fine expression throughout the banquet.

“Regent. ”

“It's not a public place. ”

He laughs in the midst of a confusion under the gentle pressure.

“Ofelia.”

Ofelia smiles as she approaches with her slender title.

“The look on your face is not good all the time, it is obvious to you. ”

Kim Sun-hyuk was unable to answer easily. It was difficult for him to bring up a story about his father's life, even if she was determined to.

“I have also pledged my allegiance to His Majesty many times. But you didn't listen. ”

But Ophelia, unlike he expected, was already aware of my father's decision.

“It is impossible to accept it as a child, but God does not bend his will, and he is frustrated. ”

Her face, quickly immersed in a sudden lap, was disfigured.

“I'll convince the Queishas. ”

The Queishas had more than one chrysanthemum. A total of three thousand years they have, and if they get one more, King Theodore will no longer be stubborn.

“Even if it were your will, the king would not accept it. ”

But it was his mistake.

“When I ascended to the throne of the regime, I was given all the power of the monarch that belonged only to the king, which the king intended. ”

I think of a bitter glow on Ofelia's face.

“The king's heart that trusts you is no different from mine, but he felt that you would not find a solution in time. He gave me all his power so that the nobles wouldn't dare challenge the authority of the regime. ”

Power was not something that could be easily given and taken away like a coin in an Australian pocket. King Theodore's determination and transfer of power has now been made perfect for Ophelia, and taking it back means that perhaps the monarchy's authority can be divided.

King Theodore, who had lived his whole life to suppress nobles and regard the reinforcement of the throne as a landmark, could not have accepted this.

Kim Sun-hyuk, who was somewhat ignorant about the nature of power, sounded a bit vague, but he could understand her.

However, he did not accept every situation.

But he no longer spoke of King Theodore.

It's because I saw Ofelia's face that seemed to be in jeopardy. Mentioning the king was no less a burden to her.

He lets out a sigh without her knowing it and hugs the princess's widowed shoulder.

* *

One day after Kim Sun-hyuk entered the Kingdom, it was bright again. The royal family was still in a festive mood, and the nobles' wagons in the inner city were crowded to celebrate the return of the ferryman.

In the meantime, the sword returned to the castle.

Kim Sun-hyuk, who had already told me that the sword would come back through the Grand Chamberlain the other day, calmed down with a little deep breath.

The thought of King Theodore and Ofelia has cleared my head a little. Pressure on the swordsmanship seemed to have driven away the worries.

“Lead.”

The Grand Chamberlain took him to a contact room made to welcome the most impetuous of the nobles.

“Here comes the Duke of Seonhyuk Line Pearl Kim Drahon! ”

The Grand Chamberlain withdraws to the side of the door, shouting that he has arrived.

“Have some.”

After a short breath, Kim Sun-hyuk stopped trying to take a step.

The enormous presence that felt beyond the door pressed him without pity.

“Hmm."

It was not a poor taunt. However, the energy that I felt behind the door was so clear and peaceful.

Perhaps this is the true presence of the Sword.

“Phew.”

I took a short breath. There was still a feeling of existence beyond the door, but he seemed to feel no further pressure.

It was just a single inhale and an exhale that completely expunged the Giant's existence.

Nod.

On his head, the Grand Chamberlain opened the door to the reception hall.

Inside the slow-opening receptacle is Duke Marek Schneil Roahim.
