I am the Monarch
< Chapter 20 Improvement >
------------------------------------
Roan is half mesmerized.
I've lived for almost 40 years, including my last life, but I've never seen such a huge and spectacular space.
‘Is this the palace? ’
High ceilings were lined with colorful jewels and high quality marble on wide floors.
Beautiful symbols were carved along the wall and several portraits were hung.
“Surprised?”
Io smiles, grabbing his shoulder.
Roan nods, smiling shyly.
When Io saw that, he pointed his finger at the other end.
“This is just a room. The real royal palace is inside that door. ”
“Ah.......”
Roan bursts a low elasticity.
‘What would a real royal palace look like? ’
I couldn't even fathom it.
“Roan. I will see His Majesty soon.......”
That's when Io said it.
The east entrance of the hall is wide open.
At the same time, young people appeared with similar looks and strange different feelings.
Two Prince Tommy Lines and three Prince Column Lines.
They approach the center of the waiting room, leading several nobles.
There was a strange discomfort and irritation on his face.
Simon, on the other hand, smiles faintly at them.
Prince Simon Rhynes...
Roan lowers his head slightly and sighs for a moment.
The moment I saw Tommy and his column, I remembered the report I heard from the Agents just before I left Mediacis.
< The western part of Lake Porsche has been destroyed. >
Short notice.
But Roan could see how the situation had flowed.
‘Prince Simon did not inform the other princes that the Final Exodus was happening. ’
Thanks to this, the people of the mournful kingdom lost their lives.
The western part of the Kingdom became a wasteland.
"I knew you were an ambitious man….."
I didn't expect him to turn away from his own people because of his ambition.
No, I thought maybe on the one hand.
Even though Simon was fine now, he was the future lord of the fanatics.
‘Not a single person followed him. ’
I was cruel and ravenous.
A monarch without one of his people.
That was the Berserker.
His followers were only monsters and undead.
"At least I know I did….."
The taste was bitter.
‘What should I do.......’
I decided to become a monarch myself.
However, the situation is too inadequate to establish a country and worship the king right now.
It was still time to empower and stockpile.
In the process, I thought about how to continue my relationship with Simon.
"I tried to help you become a berserker….."
From now on, I thought it would be possible to keep an eye on her and help her.
However, it turned out that there was another problem.
Simon was not the monarch that Roan wanted.
‘That's frustrating.’
I sighed on my own.
Meanwhile, Tommy and Column are in front of Simon.
“I meet Prince 1st. ”
The two nod slightly.
I didn't want to be gentle with you, brother.
Rather, they acted as if they had nothing to do with each other.
Simon, on the other hand, shakes his head with a good smile.
“Hahaha! 1st Prince....... Just call me brother. Yeah, it feels good to see everyone's okay. ”
Goosefat sword.
My mouth was sweet, but I hid a knife in my stomach.
Simon had no intention of bringing up the noble spies in front of his two brothers.
Cards that were favorable to him were not used lightly.
‘We need to tie one of them together. ’
I had a nasty smile on my mouth.
Then.
Bang!
With a heavy voice, the large door in the center of the room slowly begins to open.
It's time to finally meet King Denny Von Rheines.
“Hahaha! Let's all go in together, then. ”
Simon was relaxed.
He takes a step ahead of Tommy and Column into battle.
‘Damn it.'
‘Don't be a smartass. ’
The two princes' faces distorted nicely.
After the three princes, the nobles who followed the different princes moved into complex colors.
Most of Simon's followers' expressions are bright, and the rest of the nobles' expressions don't seem clear.
Among them were Earl Iolansfil and Earl Jonathan Chase, who was an agitator.
‘Damn. One of the strings is really tight. ’
A slow glare pierces the back of Iow's head.
Io, on the other hand, didn't even care about Jonathan.
His only concern was Roan.
“Don't be rude. ”
“Yes, I'll keep that in mind. ”
Roan nods, listening to Iow.
When the nobles along Tommy and the column saw him, they frowned.
Who's that kid? ’
I've never seen him before. ’
"A young boy like that knows His Majesty? ’
They received a report about Roan's specialty, but did not know what he actually looked like.
The only one who knew how Ronan looked was Jonathan.
‘That's the same Roan. ’
The one who dropped Benjamin Doyle into a state of great interest to take control of the eastern region.
"So, what happened to the guys you had sneak up on that kid? ’
It was a long time ago that I was sent to the Tail Region by intelligent and capable men.
I received a few short letters, but they were not very helpful.
‘Tsk. Let's find out. ’
Jonathan frowns and kicks his tongue.
Bang!
Once inside the battle, the wide open door is firmly closed.
“Ah.......”
Roan bursts into sheer elasticity.
It was never because the battle was spectacular.
The battle was rather rustic and crude compared to the battle room.
‘But for some reason, I feel majesty. ’
There were no fancy jewelry, goldsmiths or symbols.
The battle between wood and marble was very clean and rustic.
But somehow, in that rustic shape, I felt tremendous majesty.
“This is what a real palace looks like. ”
Io's voice.
He seemed to be able to figure out what it meant.
The glamour on the outside was not the main thing.
‘Glory does not come from decorating. ’
The palace is the palace.
The Royal Family is the Royal Family.
I was convinced that the royal family was royal.
It was a majesty created by decades and centuries of history.
The battle was centered around a row of wooden and leather chairs on the left and right sides.
It was home to the Dukes of the Kingdom, the Marquis, the Earls and the major nobles.
There was a chair in the center of the battle, but it was not glamorous, but it was so big that the viewer felt overwhelmed.
‘That is the king's throne. ’
Roan swallowed dry saliva for no reason.
I had never seen a king in my entire life.
At that time, Baron Logan Dale, the Grand Palace Chamberlain, tapped the marble floor three times with a giant rod.
“The sun of the kingdom, the King Denny III, the representative of Krea, eats. All loyal members of the realm set an example. ”
All the nobles who were guarding their positions were scared to death when the horse ended.
They bend to the king's side.
Immediately, the elderly man smiled.
He was the king of the Rhine Kingdom and the father of three princes Simon, Tommy and Column, Denny Von Lines.
“Haha.”
I burst out a good looking smile.
It was Denny III's distinctive laugh.
“Everyone, take your seats. ”
Soft voice.
The nobles look down once more and carefully sit down.
Denny III stretched his arms out, looking at the polite Simon, Tommy and Column.
“Oh! My proud sons. ”
He seemed genuinely pleased.
“I heard you made it through the subjugation. Of course.......”
The end of the horse became blurry.
“Different outcomes were very different. Haha.”
I said it nicely.
However, Tommy and Column's expression distorted nicely.
Simon, on the other hand, smiles faintly.
“Grand Chamberlain.”
On Denny III's call, Logan bows slightly.
The king leans against the giant chair and bends his hand.
“Let's hear the three princes' specialty report. ”
“Yes, I understand. ”
Logan gives you a short answer, and then a huge blob of paper is lifted.
“Let's start with prince Simon Lines' specialty report. ”
Since then, Logan has been relentlessly listing the many battles that followed throughout the subjugation.
The more I studied, the more the nobles who were accompanying me were greatly shaken.
“Huh! You're so much better than the majors we've seen. ”
“That's amazing. ”
“I knew Prince 1st's abilities would be diminished, but I didn't think it would be like this.......”
The nobles' secrets have been crossed.
“That's it. Here's Prince Tommy Rhines' specialty report. ”
In the meantime, Logan finishes his specialty report and starts his specialty report.
“Here is Prince 3rd's specialty report on the Column Lines. ”
Column after column was reported in succession.
The two of them also established a fairly good specialty.
But it wasn't enough compared to Simon.
“You two hold hands and can't keep up with Prince One's specialty. ”
“Plus, the last attack on the subjugation was so painful. ”
“I heard the western hemisphere has been ravaged. ”
I heard some bad noises coming from everywhere.
The darker Tommy and the columns became.
Simon's specialty was overwhelming, even as they heard it.
Are you saying it's this big of a difference? ’
My face turned red.
I was embarrassed, angry, and annoyed.
“This concludes my specialty report. ”
Logan throws up a long breath and lays down a pile of paper.
Moment.
Boom, boom! Pair!
Denny III applauds without fail.
The nobles who were watching him with a puzzled look followed behind him and applauded.
Boom, boom! Boom, boom!
A loud clap echoes through the battle.
“Excellent. All three of them are excellent. ”
Denny III continues to burst into laughter with delight.
“But best of all…..”
The tail of the eye bends strangely.
“It's Simon.”
Declaration.
It was the declaration of the king that could never be handed over lightly.
Simon bows coldly.
“I just did my best. ”
“No, it's great. It's a really good specialty. ”
Denny III nods with a big smile.
The faces of those of the nobles who support Simon brighten.
On the other hand, the faces of the nobles along Tommy and the column were distorted.
Then.
“I heard it had nothing to do with the subjugation, anyway? ”
Denny III asked in a gentle voice.
A smile hits Simon's mouth, lowering his head.
‘You mean the rebellion. ’
I turned my eyes slightly to look at Tommy and the column.
Their faces were distorted.
‘I like that look. ’
Simon smiles and raises his head.
“Some nobles pointed a sword at me. ”
“Yes. I heard Baron Luke Eif and Baron Mito Posis. ”
At Denny III's words, Tommy shivers slightly.
‘No one knows that Luke and Mito are my henchmen. ’
Tommy tried his best to calm down.
Then I hear Simon's voice.
“They didn't have the courage to point their swords at the royal family, so they did something very disgusting and vile. ”
“What is it? ”
Denny III frowned and asked again.
Simon took a few letters out of his arms and handed them over to Denny III.
“Read it.”
At Simon's words, Denny III took out the letter and began to read it slowly.
As I read the letter, Denny III's expression distorted.
Tommy was watching what was going on.
"Hey, there! ’
The envelope was very familiar.
‘These are from me to Luke and Mito. ’
They were letters telling me to keep an eye on Simon.
‘But that alone proves that Luke and Mito are my henchmen. ’
Their rebellion has become their master.
My hands and feet were cold.
"Well, how can that be in Simon's hands……"
My eyes rolled restlessly around.
Meanwhile, reading all the letters, Denny III looked at Simon and Tommy in anger.
“Is this letter true? ”
Tommy stares at Simon Bay without even thinking about it.
Denny III asked again in an angry voice.
“Is it true that Luke Eiffe and Mito Posis took Tommy's master and tried to kill you! ”
Bang!
It seems as if a large pebble had fallen from the battlefield.
Everyone was shocked.
Especially for Tommy.
What do you mean, "buy"? I never wrote a letter about it....... ’
When I thought about it.
Simon shakes his head, smiling.
“No. It's a fake letter made by Luke and Mito. ”
“Fake?”
Denny III frowns and asks again.
Simon nods and looks at Tommy.
“Luke and Mito tried to separate me and my brother with a few of those letters. It's disgusting. It's despicable. ”
A cold glance pierces Tommy's eyes.
Tommy swallows only dry saliva.
Denny III asks as he hears the letter.
“Is that really true? ”
A questionable voice.
Simon nods.
His gaze was still looking at Tommy.
“Of course. Why would my brother Tommy want to kill me? Isn't that right, Tommy? ”
You're making me sick.
Tommy bit his lower lip tightly.
"Simon, you're playing with me! ’
But I couldn't just waltz in here.
He nods, smiling.
“Well, of course. Why would I hurt you? ”
I even took out the name of the older brother that I didn't usually use.
‘You must be in a hurry. Ugh.’
Simon forcefully swallows the smile that was about to pop out.
His gaze naturally turned to the column.
‘Baron Elton Court and Baron Gary Leonard who fled between Luke and Mito were the ones who followed the column. ’
It was discovered by Roan during the pre- and post-processing process.
‘Bastards.'
I cracked my teeth.
But thanks to this, I got a good card.
“Column. Don't you think so? ”
“Yes? Yes. Absolutely."
The column replied with a frown.
"That Simon. You don't think I have the letters Elton and Gary were exchanging? ’
The bitter water rises.
Here, even if the letter is revealed, he is at a loss.
You were the one who used Luke and Mito to inflict the red.
But luckily, Simon just stares at Tommy and the column, without saying anything.
It was a pressure and a threat.
‘Wait. I'm gonna hook you up real tight. ’
Simon's smile grows darker.
We've set a trap.
It was to see who would take the hard way into this trap.
“How dare you do this to me? ”
Boom!
Denny III slaps the handle with his red face.
Simon bows coldly as if he was waiting.
“Don't worry too much. They're not people anymore. ”
“Hmm.”
Denny III nods, calming his mind.
“Yes. I took care of the internal redness even in difficult situations. Excellent.”
A compliment poured out.
Originally, Denny III, who had a good heart but was incompetent, did not know how to calculate the situation before and after.
I just nod at Simon's voice, get angry, and then I repeat myself to like him.
He considers what he has to offer for Simon, his faithful eldest son.
“Ah!”
My face brightened.
“Baron Eif and Baron Posis have become a homeless land. ”
A little excited.
“Simon Lines. I pay the highest price for completing the subjugation and greatly overcoming the difficult situation. I pay the Baron Eif and Baron Posis. ”
“Ah.......”
There was elasticity pouring out from everywhere.
Both the Eif and Posis were barons, so it wasn't that big a deal.
But the location was a problem.
Both are located between the Royal Islands, Miller and the Pedian Plains, so soil is very fertile and a strategically important node.
If Simon divides two territories among the nobles supporting him and attacks them, the nobles of the northern kingdom will pass through Simon's power to enter the Kingdom of Mill.
‘It is possible to completely isolate Tommy in the northern part of the kingdom and the nobles supporting the columns. ’
Simon smiles at something bigger than he thinks.
This was known to Tommy, to Column, and to the nobles who supported them.
But I couldn't help but disagree.
"Dammit. I'm willing to give Rebel territory to a man who defeated them, but I have no reason to object." ’
‘If you do, Prince Tommy's letter may be burnt. ’
‘You'd better keep your mouth shut here. ’
There was an uncomfortable tingling in the air.
Simon, on the other hand, lowers his head in a bright expression.
“Thank you, Your Majesty. ”
“No, no, no. I've got the biggest ball, but it's not enough. ”
Denny III had no intention of ending the proceedings.
Simon turns to his side and shakes his head.
“Your Grace, I didn't do this alone with the siege and the rebellion. I was able to build this big ball because I had the help of a lot of people. ”
Humble attitude and voice.
Simon's words continue.
“In particular, some of them have specialties that are unimaginably large. ”
Denny III nods, smiling brightly as he finishes speaking.
“Aha! I already heard about that report. Did you say" Roan "? ”
“Yes, that's right. Your Majesty."
Simon nods, his right hand pointing back.
Iow, thio, Ralph, etc. moved to the left and to the right as if they had waited.
At the very last moment, Roan appeared.
Atka but a manly face.
Deep, clear eyes sparkled and glowed.
All eyes of the nobles, including Denny III, turned to Roan.
"That's Roan? ’
‘I heard it was some kind of monster....... It wasn't true. ’
"A kid like that set up such a huge specialty? ’
"Haha. I can't believe he saved Prince Simon's life. ’
Everyone's face is hard to believe.
Then I hear Simon's voice.
“The biggest ball in this subjugation and saved my life.......”
Powerful voice.
“I'm Roan Tail. ”
Roan takes a slow walk and stands beside Simon, terrified of the fall.
He kneels down on one knee in a swift and vigorous motion, followed by a tribute.
“Shin Roan Tail. Greetings, Your Majesty. ”
