I am the Monarch

< Chapter 12 New Beginnings >

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

Two or two.

Dozens of horsemen rush out into the field, escorting a large wagon.

“What a walled place. ”

A wagon swaying.

The tall middle-aged man frowned as he watched the landscape unfold outside the window.

‘I should have just taken a break. ’

I regretted it later.

But the man shakes his head.

"No, we can't just leave him there. ’

There could have been a force behind him along the eastern border.

‘We can't let that happen. The eastern border is my territory. ’

The man's face was stiff.

A middle-aged man with a good bounty.

He was the Birthday of Benjamin Doyle, commander of the Eastern Army of the Rhine Kingdom.

I heard a sneaky voice from across the street.

“You don't have to do this on your own..."

The protagonist of his voice is Baron Ive Lever, chief of the eastern army and chief of staff.

He smiles as cleverly as his voice.

“No. This is my chance to get a clear shot of the rail." ”

“Baron Baker is just a brilliant inventor. What are you so worried about? I don't even have the power to do this. ”

That's stupid.

Benjamin's eyes widen.

“Don't talk comfortably. As soon as he raises his flag, the herd will be all over him. ”

He clenches his fist.

“Now is the last chance to film him and press him. ”

It was clear that if a disciple could enter or take possession of the territory, power would rise at a terrifying speed.

‘That puts my position at risk. ’

Benjamin takes a deep breath.

‘This is my chance to have the commanders near the border on my side. ’

The rail needed a solid foundation that was untouchable.

Benjamin's eyes glow with a deep desire.

* * *

“No, that's not it. You're on the wrong foot. ”

The rail squeals, moving swiftly.

He was guarding the spear training of the Rose Troops, circling the training ground.

“Twist your wrist there. ”

“Yes! I understand! ”

Soldiers are exhausted.

"When will we ever be taught by Father Baker again?" ’

‘You need to learn as much as you can right now! ’

Their gaze was naturally directed towards the front of the training ground.

An atlantic-faced young man standing in the same room as himself practicing spear.

‘This is all thanks to Deputy Roan. ’

‘The deputy personally asked Mr Baker for help. ’

Why the soldiers in the Rose Corps were taught by the rails.

It was because of Roan.

In fact, the rail was going to teach Roan a few important things before returning to the writer.

Even though Manat couldn't make him a formal disciple, he couldn't let him pretend he didn't know his talents.

In the case of Roan, I was able to rise to a much higher level than I am now, even if I could hold on to the wrong habits and clumsy parts.

Because of this, he kept chasing after Roan all day and repeatedly teaching him things.

Roan realizes that the teachings of the rails are quite important.

At the same time, I thought I wanted to receive this lesson with the Rose Army soldiers, not alone.

Roan carefully expresses his thoughts and the rail gladly accepts.

Thanks to this, the soldiers of the Rose Army have a very valuable experience that will never happen again in their lives.

“Here! Let's start from the beginning! ”

The rail claps its hands and encourages the soldiers.

“All right, that's it! ”

Or compliments.

“A little more to the left there. ”

Or giving advice.

“Again! It's all wrong! ”

Or scolded.

The rail enthusiastically teaches the soldiers.

“Hmm.”

Suddenly, his gaze turned towards Roan.

“Ah.......”

Low elasticity poured out.

‘Clearly better. ’

From the beginning, Roan was always free of maggots in lanes and movements.

Nevertheless, the rail's eyes saw deficiencies.

He showed himself several moves and corrected his posture.

The effects were immediate.

‘I have to say I have good eyes. ’

Roan is very capable of capturing even the smallest movements.

In fact, Raleigh didn't know it, but Roan's ability was entirely thanks to Calian's tears.

‘Callian's tears have allowed me to see more in a short moment. ’

Even if the rail had a short movement, it was able to get all the information about the position of the wrist, the position of the foot, the joint twist, etc.

‘Thanks to you, I can see how to do the right move. ’

Roan grips his teeth.

Spot!

The window moves through the space.

‘It definitely made me feel comfortable. ’

I've only changed a few small movements, but it's much simpler to swing and stab the spear.

‘You have to learn as much as you can before Mr Baker leaves. ’

Roan was more enthusiastic than the rails.

Although I could not be his disciple and receive formal lessons, I tried and tried to learn every little gesture properly.

Spot!

Once again, the window cracked open the space.

* * *

“Baron Tate must be fed without food these days. ”

“Hahaha. Honestly, I'm confident. ”

Aaron nods, smiling brightly.

He was sitting across from Io, talking.

‘I can't believe I've had a chance to talk to Earl Lancefield for so long. ’

There are only five earls in the kingdom.

As the baroness, he was often difficult to see.

Moreover, it is almost impossible to have a friendly conversation.

‘We've been together for four days. ’

It was all because of Roan.

‘You must have enjoyed talking to Roan. ’

Io stayed at the rose base and had several conversations with Roan.

Tactics, strategies, even small personal histories like the one you've been living with.

‘This is our chance to impress Earl Lancefield. ’

Aaron bites his lower lip.

If you can do that, you have the most powerful backdrop in the kingdom.

“How much longer is Earl Lancefield planning to stay in Castle Beno? ”

“Hmm. I don't know...”

Io blurred his last words.

Because I was worried about that part.

‘I was going to meet Duke Baker and go back with him to Faver Castle.......’

The goal in the first place was to take the rails back to the lordship.

But it was a situation that was more focused on Roan than on the rails.

Even so, it was not a situation that could leave the Earl empty.

‘It would be better to move in with Baron when he returns. ’

Thought I'd take Roan, but the military has a procedure.

‘We can invite Roan later. ’

Until then, we intended to focus on increasing intimacy and bonding with each other.

“Probably fever.......”

You hear a knock as the horse continues.

Knock, knock. Knock.

“Mendel.”

The protagonist of his voice was Mendel, Aaron's youngest and most senior team chief.

“Come in.”

Aaron smiles slightly at Iow and looks toward the entrance.

Queek.

The door opens carefully, and Mendel looks a little embarrassed.

“What's going on? ”

Mendel lowers his head.

“The gift you asked for has arrived. ”

“Ah.......”

A low elasticity flows from Aaron's mouth.

He nods, smiling brightly.

“You've arrived at the right time. ”

A slightly excited voice.

However, Mendel still looks embarrassed.

“But.......”

He hesitates without succeeding.

“But…? ”

After Aaron followed, Mendel sighed for a short time.

“Heh. Comrade Benjamin Doyle, commander of the Eastern Army, himself, has brought you a gift. ”

“Hmm?"

Aaron frowns.

"You said that this guy Doyle moved himself? ’

Something I never thought I'd do.

Benjamin was originally a heavy-ass man.

Aaron's face hardens.

‘It's because of Mr Baker. ’

It is well known that Benjamin detests and hates rails.

"I can create a disturbance......."

When I thought about it.

I heard Io's voice.

“Don't worry too much. ”

He also knew what Benjamin was thinking about the rails.

But there was no need to worry.

Io smiled and said.

“Because I'm here. ”

Though Benjamin is the leader of the Eastern army, he cannot be impetuous in front of the Earl of the Kingdom.

The smile on my mouth became darker.

* * *

Benjamin was uncomfortable.

"Why didn't you meet me when I was here? ’

The Eastern Army Commander's march.

Even though I jumped barefoot, I sent Mendelmann, an army chief, away for nothing.

"You're not getting caught by that rail guy already, are you? ’

His face was stiff.

Ive, who was watching the situation, shakes his head with a sly look.

“Baron Tate is very rude. ”

Scratching.

Benjamin bites his lower lip.

‘Looks like I'll have to scold you. ’

To show off your dignity.

"I'll let you know where the 7th Army belongs. ’

Benjamin and Rail.

I was going to show him exactly which of the two to be loyal to.

Then Mendel steps aside and bows his head.

“This is it.”

Slightly shabby entrance.

This was Gail's office, the destination.

“Whew.”

Benjamin takes a long breath and kicks down the door in the office.

Boom!

The door sounds like it's going to fall off.

Benjamin squeals as he walks through the wide open door.

“Baron Tate! Even though I visited the base myself, I dared not.......”

However, the sound of a good voice soon faded.

“Huh? Huh? Huh? ”

Benjamin stutters in surprise.

He found Io late.

Benjamin points at Iow with his trembling fingers.

“Why, why would the ship, the Earl, be in a place like this.......”

At that time, Io shakes his head with a smile.

“Baron Doyle. Are you pointing at me? ”

Benjamin's words surprise him and hid his hands behind his back.

Then, I lowered my waist deep.

“I'm here to see Earl Lancefield. ”

Ive bows rapidly as well.

Benjamin turns his head slightly to look at Ive.

Why didn't you tell me the Earl was coming? ’

That look.

Ive shakes his head in embarrassment.

‘I didn't know. ’

The look in his eyes.

At that time, the rail and Roan appeared through the wide open doorway.

The rail finds Benjamin bent at his waist and bursts into laughter.

“Hahaha! Bird Doyle is here! ”

He taps Benjamin's back and squats down next to Iow.

A fairly humiliating situation for Benjamin.

"Rail, this bastard......."

The scorn reached my throat.

‘Dammit. Let's just stay calm for a second. Calm down.......’

He straightens his waist with a smile.

Then Aaron stood up.

“Come this way. ”

“Thank you.”

Benjamin steps forward with a rotten smile to Aaron's place.

He bows once more towards Iow.

“I didn't know Earl Lancefield was here. ”

“I came in a hurry to hear that Bird of Baker had arrived. ”

“Oh, right. ”

Benjamin still smiles awkwardly.

Then I heard Aaron's voice.

“Commander, shall we begin? ”

Carefully asked.

However, Benjamin was somewhat disgusted by his appearance.

‘Dammit, I can't say anything about Earl Lancefield. ’

He nods, smiling awkwardly.

Aaron smiles brightly and looks at Roan.

“Roan.”

“Yes, sir. ”

Roan replies in a small voice.

He was in a complicated state.

‘Benjamin Doyle. What's he doing here? ’

My eyes keep getting fierce.

‘Because of that guy in my last life.......’

One of the reasons I had to stay long as a terminal spearer.

That was Benjamin.

Then I heard Aaron's voice.

“Do you remember what I said before I took a sabbatical? ”

Roan does not respond quickly, but waits for the next message.

Aaron laughs faintly.

“I'll give you a gift when you return to the base. ”

“Ah.......”

Roan bursts a low elasticity.

You said you had a few gifts for me. ’

I was so distracted that I completely forgot about it.

Aaron glances at the rail.

“One of them was the invitation of Count Rail Baker.......”

This time, his gaze shifted to Benjamin.

“The other one……"

Benjamin rises from his seat and extends his hand toward Ive, as if waiting.

Ive quickly approaches and gives out a wide wooden box.

Cock.

The lid of the box was opened with a cheerful sound.

Benjamin carefully supports the contents of the box with both hands.

An object with a high quality silk belt in a circular metal slightly larger than a coin.

Aaron smiled and said.

“This is a Commander-Class Orchestral Medal. ”

At that moment, Roan's eyes widened.

‘A medal?! ’

An unexpected gift.

‘I thought of a good spear or armor at best. ’

The situation is satisfactory enough.

But a medal came out of nowhere.

“You look surprised. ”

Aaron grins faintly and grabs Roan's shoulder.

“It's a Commander-level, but with the royal palace's permission. Do you know what this means? ”

Roan shakes his head.

Aaron whispers in a small voice.

“No matter how hard you try, the average citizen has limited promotions. If I'm good enough, I'll be the Chief of Staff at HQ. You need a title to be more than that. ”

Roan nods.

He also knew very well.

“But it's as hard to win the stars as it is for ordinary people to become nobles. It's almost impossible. ”

Aaron's gaze is toward the medallion.

“But with a medal, things would be different. A commoner with a medal has met the minimum requirements for a noble position. ”

“Ah.......”

Roan bursts a low elasticity.

His gaze naturally turned to a medal.

I hear Aaron's voice.

“Roan. The road to becoming a nobleman is now open. ”
