I am the Monarch

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

Roan clearly remembered the events that occurred in wars and wars, in kingdoms and continents, but many did not.

Especially when you haven't experienced it yourself.

Rodite Page and Cady Lines also belonged in such cases.

‘I've only heard the rumors, I don't really know who they are. ’

The only thing I can remember is that Phil was on the run from Cady for a while.

‘Princess Cady loved him very much. ’

It was literally the case at first sight.

“Brother!”

You hear a sharp voice again.

At the same time, a pretty little girl with a white face appeared.

“Annette and Anna keep harassing me. ”

Annette Rhynes was the sister of two princes Tommy Rhynes and Anna Rhynes was the sister of three princes Column Rhines.

Cady has a furious expression.

Simon smiles whether he looks cute or not.

“So you just stood there? ”

At the end of the sentence, Cady grips his fist tightly.

“No way. They both pulled out their hair! ”

At that moment, Simon bursts into laughter.

“Hahahaha! That's right. That's why he's my brother! Well done."

He raises his thumb at Cady.

“I'm returning what I was given. That way the others won't look down on us. Okay?"

“Yes, I understand. I'll remember that.”

Cady nods.

The expression was very united, but it looked like trouble because of the large eyes and a slap full of faces.

Roan smiles bitterly.

"How can a brother and sister be so close..."

Due to the complicated relationship, we aim our swords at each other.

Then Cady's gaze turned to Roan.

“What's this? ”

She tilts her head toward Roan, who, unlike everyone else, is only a few years old.

Simon opens his shoulders with a bloody smile.

“He is the hero of this subjugation and the baron Roan Tail who saved this brother's life. ”

“Ah!”

Cady looks a little surprised and bursts into elasticity.

I have a bundle in my eye.

‘It's not what I expected. ’

When I heard the action statue, I thought of a comforting situation.

However, Roan's whole body was firm, but quite ordinary.

“I'm Roan Tail. ”

Roan bows and greets you deeply.

Then Kady reaches out his right hand and lowers his head slightly.

“Nice to meet you. I'm Cady Lines. ”

“Greetings, Princess. ”

Roan takes a short ordinance, holding Cady's hand.

Cady has been tearing Roan's face from her neck for a long time.

‘It doesn't look like much to me...'

I can't believe an ordinary man like this has established such an extraordinary specialty.

‘Give it a try.......’

When mischievous thoughts follow.

The music that filled the hall was cut off.

Everyone turns to face the hall.

Baron Logan Dale, Grand Chamberlain, appears, waiting.

He 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. ”

The hall is filled with terrifying music at the end of the horse.

Through the wide open door, denny von Rheines, dressed in spectacular attire, revealed himself.

Behind him, you see queens and wives.

Denny III greeted the prom authorities.

Simon and his nobles fought fiercely to impress Denny III.

Roan, on the other hand, searched for ordinary nobles who attended the ball more than Denny III.

I met renowned scholars, wizards, and audiences centered on Mill, and put all my efforts into attracting and filling what was needed in the Tail Area.

“Whew. Harder than I thought. ”

Roan moves relentlessly throughout the ball to one corner of the hall.

I met with several people and made various offers, but none of them actually worked.

Everyone is satisfied enough to face Roan.

They don't want to establish friendship with Roan, a commoner, who has just become a nobleman.

Even the commoners tried to line up with other prominent nobles rather than Roan.

Judging that Roan's position is not strong enough to build a deep relationship yet.

‘It won't be easy from now on. ’

Roan struggles to smile.

I didn't think everything was going to be sober from the start.

As we become stronger and more powerful, they will reach out to themselves first.

‘I'll make sure you do. ’

Roan drank expensive wine, looking at the chaotic and glamorous ballroom scene.

The whole mouth was full of bitterness.

‘Everyone looks good together. ’

At this ball, Roan was the only outsider.

Hmm?

At that moment, Roan's brow frowns slightly.

His gaze turned to the right corner.

‘There are others who don't fit in to the ball like I do. ’

I have a bundle in my eye.

The young woman was seated in the corner on the right.

A woman enjoying wine with a vague smile.

I was wearing a dress more plentiful than everyone else, but I felt like a luxury without knowing where it was.

Roan continues to gaze at the woman unknowingly.

At that time, the woman who was looking at the ballroom landscape turned her gaze.

At that moment, Roan and the woman's eyes met.

“Hmm.”

Roan smiles awkwardly without avoiding his gaze and lowers his head slightly.

The woman also quickly bowed her head in a bewilderment of unexpected glances.

Your cheeks are red.

Very shy.

Roan smiled at him.

I don't know why, but I felt comfortable in the corner of my heart.

Then.

“Roan.”

Io Lancefield approaches with a look at the atmosphere.

After a short conversation with Denny III, he looks oddly surprised to see Ronan.

“You're Princess Aelys. ”

It's a gibberish.

At first, he wanted to say something, but then he realized what it meant.

‘You're a princess.’

A woman guarding a corner of the hall who couldn't fit into the ball like herself.

Her identity was surprisingly the princess of the kingdom.

Was there a princess named Ailee? ’

I went through the memories of my last life, but there was no one I could think of.

Perhaps he married a nobleman like all the other princesses and lived a life without any distortion.

At that time, Io continued.

“Princess Aelys' mother was a royal maid. Because unlike other princes and princesses, there are no patrons, no patrons. Besides, her mother gave birth to Princess Aelee, and in three days she became famous. Because of all the blood in the world.

His Majesty is the only one mixed in. But....... ”

His gaze turned to Denny III.

“I don't think His Majesty cares much for Princess Aelys. I've never even seen him talk to anyone. ”

I remembered a bitter look on my face.

“Princess Aelle is probably the loneliest and loneliest person in the palace. I've had no one but the nanny and escort knight who took care of me since I was a child. ”

The current royal palace and royal circumstances have not been so satisfied as to devote time to this powerless, powerless Alien.

‘Hmm.'

Roan struggles to swallow the tear that was coming up to his throat.

Somehow, I feel similar to my own position.

A common commoner commander who just became a nobleman.

Thanks to the reputation gained through the war and the subjugation, I was briefly distracted, but that was the limit.

People tried to stay some distance from the humble Roan.

“Poor guy. It's like having no friends or family. ”

Io sighed for a short time.

At that time, the music that filled the hall changed.

The royals and nobles, as if the common nobles were waiting for you, moved on to find their partners.

“Earl Lancefield. Would you like to dance with me? ”

A noblewoman approached Io and reached out her hand.

Io winks at Roan, then heads to the center of the hall.

‘This is the social world. ’

They were beautiful dances on the outside, but in fact, there will be a routine to fry blood.

Roan looks out for her without even knowing it.

She has moved further into the corner than ever before.

Her name was the princess of a country, but no man in the hall asked her to dance.

In a way, it was the same with Roan.

Usually, it was polite for men to ask for a dance first, but sometimes women would go first.

But not a single woman approached Roan.

Occasionally, the elderly women of noble statures gave Chupa a glance, but he struggled to ignore them.

Roan's gaze continues to reach Ailee.

“Is there anyone else who would like to dance? ”

“Hmm. You know. ”

The young women on the left side complain in a small voice.

They sweep the men in the hall and frown.

“They're all old nobles. ”

“All the good men are princesses. ”

Loud voices.

At that moment, the women's faces brightened for a moment.

“Look. Looks like Princess Aelee hasn't found a match yet. ”

“That's why they call her the Shadow Princess. ”

I heard a mockery.

Roan gazes at them unknowingly.

“Hmm.”

“Hmm.”

The women smiled as they felt Roan's gaze.

He tapped his neck slightly with a fan and let down one shoulder.

Roan frowns.

It wasn't because of their reckless behavior.

"The Shadow Princess......."

I felt something.

I don't know why. My mind moved by itself.

Roan turns his head back to look at her.

She doesn't care what people call her and what they think.

His expression was bold and his eyes were deep and bright.

“Whew.”

After a short breath, Roan takes a slow walk.

Io smiles strangely as he dances in the middle of the hall and looks at Roan.

‘Yes, Roan, you can see the inside, not the appearance and condition of Princess Aelys. ’

My mouth went up gently.

Meanwhile, Roan reaches Ailee.

“Greetings, Princess. My name is Roan Tail. ”

“Ah....... you're the hero of this conquest. Simon. Oh, I hear you saved Laverne's life. ”

She paused for a moment under the title of Brother Bernie.

‘My voice is so clear and smooth. ’

Roan smiles unknowingly.

She smiles softly and lowers her head slightly.

“I'm the Alien Line. ”

It was a smile that made people feel as good as their voices.

Moreover, he was very polite and respectful.

Roan gazes into her eyes silently.

She looks at that gaze quietly, then lowers her head slightly.

The cheeks turn red again.

"The Shadow Princess......."

My eyes sank calmly.

‘Nothing is as clear as the shadows. ’

Roan reaches out his right hand to Ailee.

“Princess, would you like to dance with me? ”

Soft voice.

I had never danced, seen it, or even danced with nobles, but I didn't mind.

‘If it's wrong, it'll be fine if it's a mess. ’

Strangely, I was relieved.

She raises her head and looks at Roan.

Roan smiles without a word.

The two gazes were quietly intermingled.

After a moment, Aelys smiles shyly and nods.

“Good.”

* * *

“Nanny.”

The end of her voice trembles slightly.

“Princess, you're a little late today. ”

The nanny Margaret, who was organizing the study, smiles brightly and bows her head.

Normally, she wouldn't stay long at the ball.

‘Shadow Princess, how can you be so ungrateful...'

No, she wasn't much of a baller in the first place.

‘But he stayed a long time today. ’

Margaret's gaze rises naturally towards Greg Katis, the escort knight standing at the entrance.

Greg smiles faintly, feeling Margaret's gaze.

It looks like something good happened today.

What is it?

Margaret tilts her head and looks at Ailee.

“Ah.......”

Then she realizes how bright she looks.

A happy face like having the whole world.

“Nanny.”

Her face is glowing.

“I met a good man today. ”

A calm but slightly excited voice.

“Joe, are you a good person? ”

Margaret looks surprised at the unexpected words.

Alien, on the other hand, is still calm and calm.

“Yes, a good man. ”

Margaret frowns.

Then I looked at Greg.

Greg nods slightly in Margaret's eyes and steps out of the library.

He stands in front of the entrance, looking closely to see if anyone is approaching or hiding, and raises all his senses sensitively.

It was a very natural appearance as if this had happened several times.

Margaret whispers in a small voice after circling the area for no reason.

“Princess. Suddenly you're a good person? ”

At that, she smiles faintly.

“Baron Roan Tail. I met the hero of this siege. ”

“Roan Tail.......”

Margaret was familiar with the rumors of Roan.

She carefully asked again and again.

“Are you saying he's a good man? ”

“Yes. We danced and talked, and he was a great man in many ways. ”

Margaret's expression hardens in Ailee's reply.

“Dance? Did the baron ask you to dance first? ”

She nods lightly.

Margaret's voice grows smaller.

“You didn't say anything strange first, did you? ”

“What are you talking about? ”

She asked again with a smile.

Margaret circles around again.

“Household rental business, rail transportation, sales…..”

“Enough.”

She shakes her head, raising her right hand.

Margaret quickly shuts up.

She looks at her eyes and smiles faintly.

“Nanny, don't worry about it. I never make mistakes. ”

Unlike her shy appearance, she has a strong and confident face.

Margaret sighs briefly.

“Phew. That's true….. but I've never done anything like this before. Just in case.......”

Worried voice.

She clutches Margaret's hands together.

“Nanny, don't worry. This Roan Tail guy, he's definitely a good guy. ”

A clear, sweet voice hovered near my lips.

Margaret's expression clears.

‘Yes, because the eyes of the princess are accurate. ’

I've never been wrong.

That's why I was secretly doing things I could never have imagined.

‘A good person.......’

Margaret recalls the rumors she had heard about Roan.

‘What does a good person mean? Friend? Or.......’

My heart was pounding for no reason.

It was an emotion mixed with certain expectations.

A strange atmosphere filled the library.
