I am the Monarch

------------------------------------

“Yes?”

Harrison asked again.

I had to.

What are you talking about? No, who are you before that? ’

The man in front of me is the same age as himself.

If it wasn't for the rank 5 deputy commander attached to his breastplate, he'd think he was a trainee.

‘You must be confused.'

Roan had a hunch on Harrison's inner being.

He waves his hand lightly.

“I'm Deputy Roan, 5th Grade of the Rose Squad. ”

“Harrison, 15th Ranger of the Thorn Corps. But.......”

Harrison blurs his words and looks at Roan.

“You just heard my rumors......? ”

Roan nods.

“Yes. I heard some of the Spiked Troops were very light and bright-eyed. ”

“Y-you mean that's me? ”

Harrison asked with an unbelievable expression.

because he had never heard such a rumor.

Instead of answering, Roan nods and takes a step back.

“Do you mind if we go outside? ”

“Yes, yes, I'm fine. ”

Harrison followed behind Roan with a half-dazzled look.

At that time, a buzzing rumor struck my mind.

"If it's Roan of the Roses, then it's the ghost of the battlefield! ’

I feel refreshed.

"I heard you just graduated from training camp. The rumors were true. ’

Eyes are drawn to the back of Roan's head that walks ahead.

‘Then you mean I'm the same age....... I can't believe you're already an assistant. ’

Roan looks great in front of Saab.

Knowing Harrison's insides, Roan stops in front of a squad barracks across the camp.

"Here?"

Harrison's follow-up frowns.

‘This is a ranger's barracks. ’

Suddenly, I remembered what Roan said.

< This is a very good hand for shooting bows. >

Did you mean it? ’

When the thought reaches you, Roan carries a bow and arrow.

Harrison quickly shakes his hand.

“Hey, Deputy Roan. I've never shot a bow before. ”

Urgent expressions and voices.

Roan glances back at Harrison like that.

‘It was the same then. ’

Harrison was the same in his last life.

I was furious at the recommendation of my deputy Thorn to shoot the bow and shook my hands.

‘But the moment I caught the bow, everything changed. ’

Roan grins and taps Harrison on the shoulder before taking a step.

“Oh, my God, it's true. I've never actually shot a gun before.......”

Harrison frowned and followed.

The two of them stand outside the camp in front of a fence surrounded by walls.

‘There's a tree in the right place. ’

Roan smiles at the tall tree outside the fence.

Chuck.

Ta-da! Ta-da! Ta-da!

Harrison shakes his head again, smiling awkwardly.

“Deputy Roan. I think you're mistaken. I'm a spearer. Spearman. I've never shot a bow before. ”

“I know. ”

Roan hands him a bow and arrow at his wits' end.

Then I grabbed Harrison's hand again.

“I like sledges. I see you're more skilled at archery than spear. ”

“Aye. Even if you have good eyes, you can see it at once.......”

Harrison didn't believe it.

Roan shrugs, smiling.

“Harrison, you're from Orwell, because you have thin eyes, small jaws and long necklines. ”

“How did you…? ”

Harrison looks surprised to touch his chin and neck.

Roan's words continue.

“Based on the calluses and forearm muscles in your palms, you were originally trained as a swordsman. I've only been a spearer for about five months. ”

“Huh!”

Harrison opened his eyes and swallowed the wind.

However, he shakes his head and frowns.

‘You must have seen my journal. ’

Otherwise, I couldn't match my military history with my place of origin.

Of course, Roan was reading Harrison's intentions.

“And……"

The thin gaze turned to Harrison's left hand.

“You've had a big injury to your left hand. Your little finger doesn't bend well, does it? ”

“Huff!”

Harrison was greatly surprised.

“H-how did you...?! ”

Injured his left hand right after he went to the training camp.

My back of my hand was broken by a wooden sword I wielded when I was training.

But the squad leaders and deputies, as well as their comrades, kept it completely secret in case they ever got expelled. This was not stated in the Military Archives.

"Zee, it's true. His eyes are real. ’

So far, no one has noticed that there is a problem in their left hand.

But Roan notices as soon as he sees it.

“It's hard to write a window, isn't it? ”

“Yes? Yes. ”

Harrison nods slowly.

‘This man is a real ghost. It's a ghost.'

I really admire your face.

Roan smiled bitterly at Harrison.

‘Actually, this is all you taught me. ’

Not only the origin and military history, but also the covert injuries.

All of this was something Harrison told Roan himself in his past life.

Roan grins and taps Harrison on the shoulder.

“What do you think? Can you trust my eyes now?" ”

“Yes, I can believe that…..”

Harrison blurs his words with a bow and arrow.

Roan points at the far tree with a confident look on his face.

“Just three. If you can't hit that tree with three shots, I won't bother you anymore. ”

“Three or three? ”

Harrison asked with a surprised expression.

“I've never really shot a bow before. ”

A reluctant face to believe in.

Roan nods.

“I know. That's what it looks like. But with your talent, you could hit that tree in three moves. ”

A confident face and a confident voice.

‘It was the same in my last life. I hit a tree with a third arrow. A tree that was a lot farther away than it is now. ’

Of course, time and place are all different from then.

But he believed.

‘If that's the talent everyone was so impressed with, I can guess it. ’

He looked Harrison straight in the eyes.

Flawless eyes.

"Whew. I can't help it. ’

Harrison catches the bow without being able to speak any more.

Is that how he grabbed her? ’

Then he imitates the shape of the archers.

Awkward.

Harrison looks at Roan with one arrow.

“You may be disappointed. ”

Roan smiles faintly instead of answering.

"Aye. Whatever it takes. ’

Harrison pulled the strings, aiming his arrows at the trees.

Squeeze in.

A big curved bow.

“Hehe.”

Harrison gripped his teeth in protest of digging his fingers.

Tongue!

A single arrow cuts through the room with a heavy voice.

Idiot!

Sharp porosity.

Roan and Harrison's gaze followed.

Pa!

The arrow never misses sharply.

‘Yes, of course. ’

However, Harrison, who was expecting a little, looked back at Roan with a taste again.

“See? I shoot real bows.......”

“I still have two left. ”

Roan opens his two fingers.

“Phew. Got it. ”

Harrison takes a long breath and throws another arrow.

‘Damn. I wish I could say the same, but I can fly away. ’

Even as an assistant, I didn't want to appear ridiculously embarrassed in front of my comrade Roan.

Harrison's eyes are wide open.

‘How did the arrow fly now.......’

He unconsciously switched between the posture of aiming at the bow and the posture of pulling the demonstration.

Not because someone taught me, but because I realized myself.

Roan smiles.

That's the true archery genius Harrison. ’

At that time, I heard a wave in my ear.

Idiot!

The second arrow left the bow.

Spot!

The arrowhead scratches at the tree stump.

“Huh?! ”

Harrison looks at Roan surprised.

Roan shrugs, smiling.

“I still have one shot left. ”

At that point, Harrison slowly nodded and fed the last arrow to the demonstration.

“Whew.”

After taking a breath, he aims for the tree.

‘It just flew to the right. ’

Thung.

Idiot!

Sharp sound.

Gulp.

Harrison swallows a dry saliva and chases after the arrows.

"My... foot..."

When your body twists by itself.

Phew!

The arrow is planted in a wooden stump with a dull sound.

“Yes!”

Harrison grunts, his fists clenching unknowingly.

My heart thumped and my face turned red.

When I was a spearer in battle, an exhilarating tremor flowed through my body that I had never felt before.

“How's that? Feels good, doesn't it? ”

Roan smiles brightly.

Harrison clears his grip and bursts his throat.

“Hmph. Hmph. ”

The red face turns red.

Roan grabs Harrison by the shoulder.

“Harrison.”

Small but powerful voices and clear, hot eyes.

“Come with me. ”

Boom.

At that moment, Harrison felt a huge boulder in his head and chest.

Stuck in the jaw.

I'm sure we've met for the first time today.

But he showed himself a new world.

In fact, Harrison was afraid to go into battle as a spearer.

My back of my hand injury made me less of a spearer than the rest of my squad.

Feels like a burden to my colleagues.

So far, I've endured that kind of pressure.

But if it's the feeling of shooting a bow.

‘I think I can enjoy the battle. ’

Harrison's hand goes up on his breastplate by itself.

A voice pops out as if vomiting something hot.

“Phew! Got it! ”

* * *

Roan returns to the Rose Army on his own.

‘If you think about it, I'd like to bring it right away.......’

Our forces were different from each other, so we couldn't bring them in on our own now.

‘Besides, now is not a good time. ’

Roan looks up at the southern sky.

‘We need to get to Porter territory. ’

Incidents and accidents in the last 20 years, among other things, the most important thing on your finger.

Roan has been waiting for this to happen.

‘There are two months left for the avalanche to take place. ’

Before that, we have to go to Mt. Michael of the Count.

‘We'll have to apply for a leave of absence once the troop is done negotiating. ’

A journey that lasts at least a month and longer than three months.

‘When I finish my work, I will return to my base. ’

From then on, it's the beginning of a new life.

‘Until then, Harrison, as well as Phil, Glenn, and the 12-minute team, must hone and polish their skills in their unit. ’

My heart was pounding.

‘I build my own troops, my own troops around them. ’

One step like that, one step and you will one day be a monarch beyond the commander.

I feel curiosity and compassion in my heart.

* * *

The next day, the troops that had been deployed to subdue monsters in the Pedian Plain began to withdraw sequentially.

The order of the 7th Legion is the last.

After ten days of preparations, the full retreat begins at the head of the dark forces.

‘There was a lot going on in a short time. ’

Roan's remorse was new.

I was curious about my 18-year-old son's return, but I was even more curious about his fifth-grade deputy position in just a few months.

"Is it a pretty successful life so far? ’

I have some trusted men.

‘What will happen next? ’

Most of the big incidents, accidents, were remembered, but there was no guarantee that they would happen the same way as they do.

‘But I have 20 years of experience. ’

If we keep our heads and remain calm, we will be able to overcome any fortuitous situation.

My heart kept pounding.

"Has life ever been this much fun? ’

I have a smile on my mouth.

The march is clearly difficult, but the smile grows darker.

Everything in the world looked beautiful.
