From a terminal Soldier to Monarch

As soon as I returned to the territory, I thought of the first thing to do, but I couldn't do it right away.

It was hard to find time for personal affairs right now, as the status of a rank was.

Seeing the immunity buildup almost finished, I heard about what happened during the civil war from Grafe, and I heard from Streak about what happened inside the Territory.

It seemed like no big deal, but I was able to face what I had to do after two days.

It was a late summer evening without summer.

The sun was still bright around me because it was late.

It was a slow afternoon, but my heart was pounding. I was as nervous as I was on my way to fight Abel the Spear King.

I bit everyone and walked away alone. As I was making my way inside the fortress, I saw what I had to do and the person I had been waiting for already standing in front of the fortress.

I approached him and opened my mouth.

“Long time, no see?”

“How can a nobleman speak to a lowly commoner? ”

It was a man with a tone and content. The content was polite, but the voice was filled with complaints.

The black-haired man stared at me and smiled. It felt like I was looking in a mirror.

‘I'm a lot like my father. ’

When I get angry, I have a very similar habit of laughing.

“Why are you doing this? ”

“By the way, wouldn't you be surprised if I told you that my dead son had suddenly become the Baron?" Oh, he's the Duke now... not the Duke. ”

I thought my speech originally came from my father.

“Well, seeing that your arms and legs are growing, you must have enjoyed your meal well. Nobles are better.”

Yalmin.

I hate my father.I wonder if they felt the same way about me.

“I'm late because I have a lot of work to do. Have you been waiting?”

You were able to bring him right away, but you thought it was dangerous to be with me.

After the civil war storm, now is fine, but not before.

I didn't think I had to take the risk.

But it was true that there was no letter.

Well, I wasn't worried about him.

In fact, I hadn't met him in my previous life, but I wondered where he might be.

“What can I call you? ”

My father folded his arms and said,

“Before I was a nobleman, I was a son. ”

I had never seen my father lose to anyone in my life. I didn't want to see his father grovel at me.

“You look fabulous. Don't you have any noble laws? ”

“What do you know? ”

It was my father's speech. That said, my father laughed in relief.

“Your mother couldn't sleep at night. ”

“… really? ”

I think it was the other way around. My father worries a lot, but he's not my mother at all.

“Well, I didn't snore. I've been worried about you for days. ”

Of course it is.

Lydia, the maid, approached me as I led my father into the reception room inside the Resistance.

Her gaze was on her father.

“It's my father.”

I told you.

“I know. Do you think they'll take food? Sir?”

You've already said your goodbyes. He makes it so easy to get along with people.

“That's the problem, isn't it, with the duc? ”

“No matter how comfortable you are, you won't. ”

Lydia rarely complains. Lydia's not exactly the loser type either.

My father is my father.

“He's stubborn.”

“As good as the duc?”

How long has it been since the baron was turned into a duke? But what?

“I'm stubborn? ”

“You didn't know?”

Lydia says that and goes out to prepare some fruit.

“He's a good kid. Are you trying to keep her by your side? A noblewoman looks more like a girl than a maid. ”

My father said I didn't mean to, so I answered first.

“That's not the case. ”

“It's natural to find a mate when a man is twenty years old. You said nobles are there? Nobles usually bring a lot of concubines."

“Can I tell my mother that? ”

“Duke, then I have nothing to say to you. ”

I laughed when I said that. My father also smiled, not angry.

“What about your mother?”

“When you came here, I saw your face from afar, and he said, no. Well, I don't know how long you'll be a nobleman, so I'll spend all the money you've made. He's probably gone to buy a dress by now. ”

She's a mother. She doesn't really care about other people's eyes.

“I'm glad you look healthy. ”

“So, you thought you'd die worrying about not being with you? ”

“No way.”

My father would never do that.

That said, my father looked me in the eye and said,

“The first year back, I wanted to hurt my son's earring. The next year, I decided to break a bridge somewhere and made my own tree club. The next year, I thought it would be okay to lose one of my limbs if I came back alive. ”

I thought my talking father's eyes looked bitter.

“I wanted you to live after I saw your hard mother cry. Son, haven't you forgotten something? ”

Lydia comes in with a bottle of fruit and wine.

“I think I need it. ”

That sense is Lydia's greatest advantage.

Whether Lydia sees it or not, whether I'm the Duke, vice knight or knight in shining armor.

I had to say something. I mean, I should have said this first, but I was late.

“I'm sorry, Father. ”

Suddenly, he couldn't sleep worrying about his son leaving to become a general.

Apologize for that time. Thank you for your concern.

“Yes. That's a first. ”

Along with the horse, my father took the glass Lydia gave him and placed it on the table and won the cork from the wine bottle.

He looks skilled at removing the package and pulling out the cork by placing an awl in the bung.

“Let's just hear the story. ”

Seeing my father pouring wine and eating fruit, I felt like I was finally facing my real father.

I took a sip of the wine my father gave me at once.

“I think I'll have to stay up all night. ”

“You're busy. Am I busy?”

“I'm not busy either. ”

Grape will see the inner circle and Mathis will play the numbers.

Anything else I need will be dealt with by Deacon Streak.

These are the people I took to keep from doing all that. So I can play.

“Now, what did you want to do to become a noble? ”

“It just doesn't make sense, does it? ”

“My son can't be that thoughtless. ”

Thinking about it, this man in front of me was like my first teacher.

I learned to speak from my father, I learned to live, I learned to make love.

Thanks to that, I made other teachers and made friends.

Without them, neither would I have existed in my previous life, so all my beginnings were my father.

“I had a very long dream. ”

That's why I wanted to tell my father everything.

It was about the artifact. It was hard to believe, so I turned it into a dream.

And I slowly recited what I saw, what I wanted to do, and the way I wanted to go.

The sun sets slowly outside the window, and Lydia comes in and lights up her surroundings with five candlesticks.

My father listened to me to the end without yawning once and for all, and I stayed up all night talking.

“So you became a duke or something? ”

“Yes.”

“You're going to wage war all the time? ”

“I think so. ”

“Ha, is that what you want to say in front of your father? ”

“What can I do?”

“Well, you've been stubborn since you were a kid. ”

Who does it look like?

“Chris.”

“Yes.”

“But don't take too many risks. Don't even try to put the whole world on your shoulders. ”

“Yes.”

In fact, it was a story my father could not keep because he had already carried so much.

I knew it, Dad. I knew it.

“I want to live quietly with my mother outside the castle. Come on now. You don't want to see your noble son, and your mother must be tired of the noblewoman's games by now."

“There is land for farming, so settle there. ”

I knew my father wouldn't come to the castle to see me.

As long as he knew me, I knew him.

“Yes. Give me more land. I can't even farm anymore because my back hurts. ”

“Sure. I'm the Duke.”

I peeled off the cork of the third bottle of wine as the sun approached.

I still haven't recovered from the vise, and I haven't fully recovered, but it's time for a drink.

I said, my father smiled and received a glass of wine.

“A friend of mine, Graphene, cares a lot. ”

“Have you seen Lynd? ”

“He's different from you, so he came looking for his sister as soon as he got here. You were with him. You've seen him. ”

“Everyone from the village is here, right? ”

“You told me to bring them all. ”

“If you just ask Mom and Dad to come, they won't come. ”

My father nodded.

If I had let them all go, my father's village would have been destroyed by the civil war.

Then I would have regretted hitting the ground.

“Yes. That's why I'm here. I had a hard time with the knight who brought me here. Get it for me later. ”

“He's already been rewarded enough. ”

After that, it was a small story.

It's a story from Lynd's pee days.

It was the night I fell asleep.

The next day, when I drank wine, I had a serious hangover because the vice had not recovered.

“Have some."

You open your eyes from the bed, and instead of Lydia, you see Agatha Yul Novan. The cup in her hand is sweet.

Honey water.

“Why the lady? ”

“What are you doing with your hands? I'm helping the castle a little too. ”

You're talking to Royce.

That Sister Complex bastard would flip his eyes out if he knew what my sister was up to.

I drank a lot of honey water from her. My head twitches and my insides rumble.

I'm sick of vomiting, but I can't do that in front of the lady.

That's something I can't do for 39 years and my whole life. Men are always in the mood.

In other words, I can never vomit in front of the lady.

“What about Lydia?”

“I'm feeding the knights. ”

These bastards are finally starting to find their own houses, and they're still crawling into the castle and eating each other.

“Whew.”

I had a lot to say to them.

As I get up, I take a few big inhalations and exhale, holding on to my itchy head and heading out.

Of course, he smiled with a straight face.

It was natural for the lady to see.

On the way to the restaurant, I saw more maids and servants. It was natural that things were becoming more tolerant.

The restaurant was noisy.

I don't have any decency as a nobleman or a knight, but I liked this.

I took a step toward the open door and sat down.

Digo, Jen Reed and Alice were busy eating, and Lynd greeted them.

When Roysman got up from his seat, he said, "Have you come?"

Whelken have returned to their own lands, and Canneruck has led the Ludwig Knights once, so they are now all I have left.

It's dirty.

“Just listen to it, fill it up a bit. ”

The smell of food pierced my nose, and my insides were deeper.

Damn Weiss.

A month of hard work would be better.

“I am dedicated to recovery for at least a month. Digo, don't fight me for stubbornness, Alice, and neither do you. And take the ointment I made later. It'll help with the scarring. ”

Digo and Alice stare at me with frustrated eyes.

“Rest is part of the training. ”

After he said that, he let me work on my body while resting, but I used it purely.

“And Lynd. ”

“Yes.”

He said, moaning about the food. He's the youngest duchess in the nation, and he has a low attitude towards the nobles who rule one country behind him.

“You know what I've been thinking about? Make it."

Lind blinked and replied.

“That's going to take a lot of people. ”

“Pull it out.”

“Where?”

“You want me to tell you how? Then I'll make it. ”

It was a given conversation, but that was enough for both of us. The rest of us weren't interested in our conversation anyway.

You can see Digo and Jenryd fighting with their meat knives over the new chunky beef.

Those bastards, don't fight.

Well, that's more like a charm.

“I have an idea. I'll tell Lord Lynd later. ”

Grafe calmly lowers his dishes and tells Lynd.

The wise man alone is polite.

Lind nods at that.

“And only the fully recovered. ”

I boiled my horse and pressed the drink I had yesterday.

If Weiss had recovered, he wouldn't be this hungover!

I was about to die.

“Take a trip with me. ”

Everyone was deaf to the word "travel."

“Are we going to fight? ”

Digo asked.

“I'm not badly hurt. ”

Royce steps out.

These guys have repetitions all the time.

“Shut up.”

I pressed down on the rumbling insides.

“I'll take her as I please. ”

It's said to be a journey, but it's actually going to be an expedition.

And there were things to do before that.

‘My body is restless, but my head is restless. ’

I thought to myself, I remembered what Master Treasure Hunter said.

* * *

“Chris, which Treasure Hunter is the best Hunter? ”

“You must be good at fighting monsters and getting away with cooking and smelling treasure. ”

It was more like a theory, but the teacher laughed at me.

“No.”

Lift the index finger and swing it to the left and to the right, and the teacher said.

“The nobleman who has money and manpower is the best. ”

“What are you talking about? ”

“Think about it. No matter how skilled a hunter is, there's only so much he can find. But is finding that finite range alone the same as finding a hundred people? ”

The teacher was right. I learned later, but it was natural for the nobles to dig up most of the treasure.

They hire a Treasure Hunter and put a private army under them.

Sometimes the tale of the Treasure Hunter who fled with the treasure and was bolted to death wasn't the only tale.

With an army of watchers and helpers, finding the treasure is too easy.

* * *

"Where are you going? ”

Grafe asks, "I don't know what to say."

“I got in a big fight this time, and the old man had a really good weapon."

Thanks to you, my bluish is ruined.

“Yes?"

Grafe asks, "Even Umchu Sage wouldn't understand."

I want the same weapon that the old man has.

And I knew where those weapons were.

They're not just weapons. They're artificial weapons.

The best Treasure Hunter is one with a lot of money and a lot of manpower left.

And now I was going to be a peacock, with a lot of money and a lot of manpower.
