I am the Monarch
< Chapter 20 Improvement >
------------------------------------
“That's amazing. I really do.”
I don't know how many times I've said great.
Now he just laughs.
Ian Philips, sitting across from him, was even more excited.
“The tail area is the only place where these monsters weren't harmed. ”
The red face.
And a voice as high as that.
Roan opens his mouth, smiling brightly.
“Very bright for the realm. ”
Ian clapped his hands.
The corner of my face reminded me of the pride I couldn't hide.
He gestures toward the corner of the restaurant.
Soon, a young man approached with a light step.
Very familiar face.
Roan was also a person I had already met.
“It's been a long time. Oren.”
Polite tone and attitude.
The young man was Oren, the head of the Information Group Division, founded by Ian.
He was the same young man who fought the Fence for the location of the military reservoir in the last war against the Estelle Kingdom.
Ian smiles brightly and points at Oren.
“I've been listening to Baron Tail's advice, gathering news through the organization he's organized and founded. ”
Roan nods silently.
His gaze naturally turns to Oren.
"You look confident. ’
Perhaps the previous work has grown more than one step as a platform.
Oren bows once more, feeling Roan's gaze.
“I learned a lot from my previous experience. Thank you."
“Thank you for thinking that. ”
Roan nods, smiling faintly.
When Ian saw that, he slapped his knee.
“I hear Baron Tail founded an intelligence organization, too? I hear our division learned a lot. ”
“I just got lucky. ”
Modesty.
But Ian was excited again for a long time.
“No, it's great. At this point, the best intelligence agency in the kingdom will be Baron Tail's informant. ”
He also did not know the name of the agent exactly.
Roan shakes his head, smiling.
“Abnegation is great, too. ”
I meant it.
The fact that the King is based in Milr's headquarters also brightens information in the eastern region meant that the power was enormously large and detailed.
Agents were very good at organizing, collecting information, and analyzing information, but they were still small, so they focused exclusively on collecting information about the Eastern Kingdom around the Tail Region.
‘A little bit more. ’
The entire Rhine Kingdom, and traditionally the entire continent, should be shaken.
I remembered a strange smile on Roan's lips.
It was a smile of anticipation and confidence.
‘Chris can do enough. ’
After that, Roan and Ian spoke for a long time.
The topic of conversation was very broad, as well as about the formation and operation of information groups, as well as about tactics in war and subjugation, strategy stories, and regional operations such as the maintenance of villages and islands.
“Phew. That's amazing. You've done all that.......”
Ian's face was half dazzled.
He was truly impressed.
It's because I knew how great and difficult things Roan had done in such a short time.
Roan smiles without saying anything.
Then.
“Ah!”
Ian bursts his low elasticity as if he had a good idea.
He frowned and said in a gentle voice.
“If you don't mind visiting Tron Academy during the day? ”
“Tron Academy? ”
The Tron Academy was the largest and oldest in the Rhine Kingdom of the Academy, located in the King's Mill.
Ian was a student at Tron Academy, and Simon Lines, Tommy Lines and Column Lines all graduated from Tron Academy here.
“Yes, I was just looking for someone who could give me a special talk. Baron Tail, one of the hottest people in the kingdom, would appreciate a special talk from all the Academy students. ”
“Hmm.”
Special Talk.
It was completely unexpected.
"Speech is a burden. ’
Normally, he would have refused.
But...
‘This is an opportunity to find out about Academy Operations. ’
It was a great opportunity for Roan to set up an academy in the Tail Region.
He pondered for a moment and said with a cautious voice.
“Can a hillbilly like me have that chance? ”
Ian shakes his hand in a surprised expression.
“A country worm? The hero of the realm should not say that. ”
Obviously, Roan's popularity today was considerable.
The nobles were not easily approached because of their pride and faction, but others were eager to meet Roan.
Roan nods, smiling faintly.
“Sure. I'll see you in three days. ”
“Thank you. I'll tell the President that. ”
Ian looks very happy.
‘Maybe we can learn something else, like the last information group story. ’
My heart beat with anticipation.
Ian was a genius, but not arrogant and controversial.
He realized what he lacked and learned.
That may have created a great strategist.
Ian, who was smiling fiercely with joy, slowly felt Roan's gaze and burst into a cough.
“Hm. I look forward to it in three days. ”
“If you have high expectations, you are also very disappointed. ”
Roan shakes his hand with a bitter smile.
At that, Ian shakes his head thinking about the past.
“Well, in the meantime, Baron Tail has exceeded my expectations. So this time.......”
Her eyes curled into a crescent shape.
I remembered the joy I couldn't hide.
“I'm going to look forward to it this time. ”
Nevertheless, it seemed that Roan would do more than that.
Ian glances at Roan with a calm look in his eyes.
‘Who doesn't know how far it will go. ’
My heart was beating fast.
Earl? The Duke? General? Commander? Or....... ’
Ian shakes his head.
The thoughts that followed were impure and dangerous.
But for some reason, I kept having visions.
My head was pushing hard, but my chest was burning hot.
That's who Roan was.
‘The one who warms my heart. ’
Ian's mouth went up gently.
* * *
“Fools! ”
The voice that stood on me poured out.
“I'm sorry."
Five close-looking young men bent at the waist.
Scary face.
“Chandler, are these bastards really capable? ”
The dung popped out somewhere else.
Chandler Hoose, an elderly man who was watching the situation at hand, coldly replies.
“Among the ones with no face, these are the ones that were among the ten fingers. ”
“And yet you still look like this? ”
The voice that stood once again poured out.
Earl Chase was the protagonist of his voice.
He summoned the spies who had infiltrated Amaranth's forces and was making a fortune.
One of the young men said in a crawling voice.
“Still, the king and commander of Roan's troops received some recognition when they came to Milr.......”
“Shut up!"
Jonathan sighs.
He kicked his tongue looking at the young men.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. I can't believe the king was satisfied with the company. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. ”
It was offensive and annoying.
The young men became more and more agitated.
Chandler speaks with a cautious voice.
“Why don't you help me build a ball? ”
“Ball?”
Jonathan frowns and bites again.
Chandler nods.
“Yes. To make Roan's eyes stand out in such a big way. Why don't you leave the heavy lifting in the future? ”
“Hmm.”
Jonathan spills a low tear.
Not a bad idea.
Chandler never misses this opportunity.
“According to these guys, Roan wants to recruit more blacksmiths, technologists, and alchemists and attract a tower. It looks like they're getting ready to set up an academy there. ”
“Huh! The baron has just become greedy. ”
Jonathan shakes his head with a cheerful expression.
Chandler laughs faintly.
“Definitely overzealous. It's not going to be easy. ”
A gentle voice.
Jonathan realizes Chandler's intentions at once.
“You want me to get one of those things Roan's planning done with their help? ”
“Yes, that's right. ”
“Hmm. Not bad. ”
Jonathan nods, touching his chin.
He wiggles his fingers at Chandler.
“Go ahead. Instead…"
My eyes and voice were cool.
“This time, you're going to have to do something. ”
At that point, Chandler bowed down, as well as a whole bunch of dead young men.
“Yes, I understand. ”
“I'll do my best. ”
The end of my voice trembles.
The youth realized this was their last chance.
"If I'm wrong......."
The drowsiness has passed.
‘You may die. ’
I couldn't do that.
Five young men clenched their fists.
It was an expression of the will to make or not to die.
The tightly rolled fist trembles.
* * *
The royal ball.
Fancy halls, beautiful music, and the sound of Sun-nam girls laughing at each other.
The fierce struggle of powerful men to rule the realm.
New relationships and inevitable conflicts.
In short, everyone had a dream once, and it was at the palace ball that everyone wanted to go to.
‘I'm nervous.......’
Roan stands in front of the entrance of the hall and fixes the chandelier several times.
I have lived on the battlefield for decades until my last life.
A brutal place where your life is coming and going at once.
But I've never been so nervous on the battlefield.
‘I've never worn anything like this before. ’
Clean conquest.
A similar design to the Royal Army uniform made a strong impression with a strong contrast between black and white.
Unlike when I put on my armor because I fit well with Roan's manly face, I had a clear and distant look.
A situation where the word "wings" fits perfectly.
“Baron Tail. Aren't you going in?”
The acolytes guarding the entrance of the hall asked carefully.
He smiles awkwardly and takes a deep breath.
Then, one last time, you check the clothesline and nod your head.
“Let's go in.”
The acolytes cling to the entrance of the giant hall with fear of falling horses.
A huge door opens to the left and to the right without a sound.
“Whew.”
He breathes out once without even knowing it.
I heard beautiful music in my ears.
Wide open doorway.
Roan takes a slow step.
Valid and confident expression and gait.
He seemed to be very nervous until just now and disappeared everywhere.
“Hmm?"
“Huh?"
“Is that him? ”
“Baron Roan Tail. ”
At that moment, people's gaze poured into Roan.
The nobles who already had a face, they tried to pretend to be uneasy, and the nobles below and the prom officials who were invited showed great interest.
Roan was neither embarrassed nor ashamed of how people looked at him.
He stood in the center of the hall and looked around at the people.
‘Fancy.’
I wasn't talking about the way the hall looked.
It meant that the faces of the people filled the hall were glamorous.
‘I feel like there are all the protagonists of a historic event to come. ’
In my head, big and small incidents and accidents quickly passed.
At that moment, I heard a familiar voice.
“Baron Roan Tail! Over here.”
Simon was the protagonist of the voice.
Roan shivers as he moves his gaze toward the voices.
‘The rumors were true. ’
A story I heard from Ian.
< Prince Simon Rhine's fashion sense sucks. Bang. >
It was true that the rumors about Simon's fashion sense were the worst.
I was dizzy even though I was overcome by a clear design.
I didn't even know how many colors were in my top, bottom, and shoes.
What a tough color combination.
‘Good to see you, Ian. ’
Roan bought clothes from the Lofil Costume Shop that Ian recommended, not the Irene Costume Shop that Simon recommended.
If not, he would still be dressed like Simon.
Roan sweeps his surprised chest and takes a step forward.
“Isn't this outfit too ordinary? ”
Simon points to the costume.
“Irene's costume shop was closed. ”
Roan is roughly surrounded and talks.
“This is a much bigger ball than I expected. ”
Io, who was next to him, faintly smiled and replied.
“A ball commemorating not only this punitive battle, but also the victory of the war against the Estelle Kingdom. ”
“So, what happened to the war reimbursement? ”
It was the Estelle Kingdom that undertook the first invasion and was defeated by the Estelle Kingdom.
On the other hand, war broke out within the Rhine Kingdom.
The Eastern Kingdom suffered considerable damage.
It was a matter of war repayment.
“Looks like it's going pretty well. Rumor has it.......”
Io's voice narrows.
“I heard you could be granted a portion of the Eastern Kingdom. ”
“I see.”
Roan looks quite surprised.
But my heart was very confident.
‘Even in my last life. ’
The Eastern Kingdom could not afford to pay war compensation at this time.
The empire's economy was in ruins because of the dramatic decline in grain output caused by the phosphane exodus.
Eventually, even in his last life, the Eastern Kingdom concluded its war reimbursement by donating the western part to the Rhine Kingdom.
‘And there's a war going on again because of that region. ’
Roan smiles bitterly.
‘By the way.......’
Looking back in the past, I remembered things that I had forgotten for a while.
‘Before it's too late, you should buy farms in the Eastern Kingdom. ’
Farmers in the Eastern Kingdom were not able to withstand the sharp decline in grain emissions, but were putting affordable farms in their possession.
Nevertheless, there was not a single person who tried to buy it.
Because all the people who planted any grain were dried up.
Because of this, the value of farmland was falling by the day.
‘But next year, grain yields will increase dramatically. ’
After the end of the phosphane exodus, the Great Depression continued.
Thanks to this, the farmers who were guarding the farm to the end in their last lives also quickly grew into agriculture.
‘To raise power, we must have plenty of food. ’
I had to be able to feed the colonists and the territorial army.
Roan makes a plan to buy a farm in his head.
Then.
“Roan. What makes you think that? ”
Simon slaps his shoulder and smiles.
“Oh, I'm nervous because I've never been to a ball before. ”
After a skillful answer, Roan looks at Simon.
Hmm?
Suddenly, I saw two eyes.
Because there was a strange woman by Simon's side.
The woman was very beautiful and beautiful.
I felt good, especially thanks to my soft eyes and my slightly raised mouth tail.
Simon reads the color and smiles brightly.
“Say hello. She's my fiancée. It's the Rodite of the House of Earl Page. ”
At the end of the introduction, Rodite's page bows slightly.
“It's a Rodite page. I'm so happy to meet Baron Roan Tail, the hero of this punitive war. ”
“Ah.......”
Roan bursts a low elasticity.
It wasn't because Rodite had a beautiful voice.
‘Rodite Page.......’
Why Roan was surprised.
It was her name.
‘This is the woman...'
I frowned unknowingly.
"who made Prince Simon into a madman. ’
This was the beginning of a harsh future.
“Roan?”
Simon tilts his head, looking at Roan, who is silent and greeted by Rodite.
“Ah.”
Roan wakes up late and quickly bows his head.
“I'm Roan Tail. ”
Seeing that, Simon bursts into laughter.
“It's been a little weird today. Somehow I'm half mesmerized.......”
But the horses could not continue.
Because I heard a sharp voice behind me.
“Brother!”
At that moment, Simon's expression distorted.
He shrugs, smiling bitterly.
“Looks like the Warlock has arrived. ”
At that, Roan's expression hardened once more.
The one that Simon calls a curly girl.
‘Princess Cady Rhodes. ’
There were two reasons why Roan remembered Cady among the many princesses.
One is that she is the only sister of the berserker.
And the other one.
‘I will be Phil's wife in 10 years' time. ’
Gwangju versus Fields.
Two men in distress amongst the Rhine Order.
Their connection was the Cady Lines.
