I am the Monarch

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

I was embarrassed.

That was the first feeling he felt.

No, it was exactly the first emotion everyone in the training ground felt.

“What are you saying.......”

Before it's over with what Roan said.

“Take me with you. I want to learn more by my side. ”

Brian shouts in a loud voice.

He did not care about the gaze of his peers and peers, not only the academy professors.

‘I'm not ashamed at all. ’

Brian was desperate.

He was sure.

You have to follow Roan to escape the stagnation of growth.

On the other hand, Roan was just embarrassed.

‘I wanted to keep it with me, but.......’

I didn't expect Brian to show up like this.

Roan shakes his hand, smiling awkwardly.

“Even if I say something like that right now..."

When the horse goes on like that.

“That's how you want it. Why don't you just take it? ”

You hear a sharp voice.

Not only Roan, but everyone's gaze shifts to find the protagonist of his voice.

‘Princess Cady Rhodes. ’

The protagonist of the voice was Cady.

She folds her arms and smiles strangely.

“The king may not know it because it's dark, but Brian is one of the brightest geniuses the whole kingdom has ever seen. ”

“I know. ”

Roan replied lightly.

Cady said with a look of what the problem is.

“Then what are you worried about? The greatest genius in the kingdom is on his knees asking for it. Just take him with you. ”

In response, Roan replied with a calm, bold voice.

“Brian Miles is still a student. First, you have to graduate from the Academy. And.......”

His gaze settles on Brian.

“As you said, student Brian Miles is the genius the whole kingdom is looking for. From the royal standpoint, I wouldn't hesitate to go to the local baron instead of the Royal Knights. ”

Several students and professors nodded.

In particular, some professors of the academic department worked closely together.

No, no, no, no, no. ’

In the meantime, the support and attention I've put on Brian has been overwhelming.

It was hard to imagine that he would go to the Tail Baron, who had just become a nobleman, rather than the Royal Knights, where the best talent would gather.

Then.

“Baron Tail! ”

I hear Brian's voice.

He spoke with a desperate look on his face.

“If you leave me like this, I might just die. ”

Threatening.

No, a voice too desperate to call it a threat.

Brian thinks this is his last chance.

He spoke with a blood-boiling heart.

“It's been two years since growth stopped for some unknown reason. As I went to sleep, I was training again and again, but there was no improvement. I'm falling apart. If a little more time passes like this, you'll die on your own.

but....... ”

He looks directly into Roan's eyes.

“I saw a new possibility today in action with Baron Tail. ”

My eyes were hot.

Roan glances at her boldly.

Brian cries out once more, as if vomiting a ball of fire.

“Save a life and take me with you! ”

The strange silence settles.

‘Brian knew he had a lot on his mind, but I didn't think he was that desperate. ’

‘Yes, I lost my liveliness as I got higher and higher. ’

‘Obviously, I was bright and confident in freshman year. ’

The students recalled the old image of Brian.

Everyone's faces turned dark.

Brian, who was the pride of the kingdom, the pride of the royal family, and the Tron Academy, was actually standing on the boundaries of life and death.

Everyone's gaze was all on Roan.

Roan looks at Brian.

‘If I don't hold your hand here.......’

Perhaps you will feel greater despair and frustration.

Unlike the last life I lived to be twenty-eight years old, I might make bad choices a little faster.

I can't even say "only until graduation......" ’

Seeing the eager and earnest eyes, it was no longer easy to turn away.

Then.

“Baron! Take Brian with you! ”

“Take Brian and I will repay you for your kindness! ”

“Please!”

Several students stood up screaming.

“You……"

Brian looks a little surprised.

Those who were lowering their heads to Roan were the brothers of the Ministry of Knights.

I had friendly friends in the first grade when I was trying to win, but they were slowly drifting away as the congestion began.

The students' expressions were as eager as Brian's.

‘Brian is our pride. ’

‘I've been watching how hard he's been. ’

‘Brian swings his sword without taking a single day off. ’

They bow for their motive and friend Brian.

At the same time, I was appalled by Roan, who completely defeated and defeated Brian, the greatest genius in the kingdom.

“We're begging you! ”

“Take Brian with you! ”

Immediately, a harmonious sound erupted from everywhere.

Suddenly, the training ground became noisy.

Cady looks at Roan with an interesting look.

‘Baron Roan Tail. What are you going to do now? ’

That's what the big eyes were saying.

Roan smiled bitterly as he felt that look.

‘Is this also fate.......’

My heart was pounding with the sound of the scream.

‘Pills and Brian, even Harrison and Chris.......’

Suddenly, I'm leading the best talent in the kingdom.

Roan takes a step toward Brian.

“Please.......”

“Please..."

At that moment, all the noisy students kept their mouths shut.

“Student Brian Miles. No, Brian. ”

Roan reaches out his right hand.

“The moment we hold these hands, we go together. ”

At that moment, Brian's expression brightens.

However, Roan's voice calmed down.

“It's not going to be easy. Think hard and decide.......”

When the horse goes on like that.

Brian grips Roan's hand.

He stood up smiling brightly.

“There's no need to worry. I'm already the baron's vessel. ”

Brian believes in his judgment and determination.

There was no doubt in my eyes.

Roan smiles faintly at his appearance.

Moment.

“Waaaahhhh!”

“Thank you, Baron Tail! ”

A shout came out.

“Brian, you have to become a sodmaster! ”

“I'll cheer you on!”

The sound of cheering from the students continued.

Cady, who was watching the situation, also clapped and climbed to the top.

“Congratulations."

I didn't know who to say hello to.

There was a strange light in her eyes.

It was a mixture of curiosity and liking, hitting and playing.

“I'd like to reserve a place to celebrate….. what do you think? ”

Flawless dining.

Roan replies with a slightly embarrassing expression.

“I have an appointment with President Fred Brown. ”

That said, Cady looked at Fred the Great.

“Sir! You're coming with us. May I?”

It looks like a child.

Fred nods, smiling and smiling.

“I don't mind if Baron Tail does. ”

That said, Cady looked at Roan again.

‘As the prince has said, you are an indescribable girl. ’

Roan lowers his head with a bitter smile.

“I'll do as the princess says. ”

“Yes!”

Cady liked it with his fists clenched.

“There's a great steak house on Sears Street. Let's all go there. ”

She looks a little excited.

After making eye contact, Roan and Brian follow Kady down the stairs.

The students were still cheering.

"Brian's popularity is impressive. ’

Roan looked around the training ground and was amazed.

Some of the students, of course, complained with unhappy expressions and unpleasant expressions.

Roan didn't want to worry about those guys.

‘You will be taken care of. ’

The age to come is an age in which human nature and ability are important.

Those who discriminate, discriminate, and flatter themselves with identity, money, and power will grow weary of themselves.

‘Some of them are persistent.......’

They were going to cut themselves.

At that time, Ian, who was sitting in the basket, came rushing to me.

“Princess, can I go, too? ”

A bold request.

When Roan looks a little surprised, Cady grins and pinches Ian's left cheek.

“Yes, my dear Ian wants to go. Let's take him. ”

Frightening.

Roan's eyes are wide open.

"The great genius tactician and administrative officer Ian Phillips is pinching the ball! ’

It was hard to imagine.

"Were Ian and Princess Cady ever close? ’

I searched through the memories of my last life, but nothing came to mind.

‘Princess Cady was just Fields. ’

Besides, Ian was alone until he died.

“Princess, I'm an Academy student now. Don't be too childish. ”

Ian blurted with a pointy face.

It was shocking as well.

‘Even as a child, I have shown you sharp and serious images. ’

Now he looked like a normal boy.

Besides, Cady and Ian are only two years old.

I wasn't getting any older.

Cady stroked Ian's head and said,

“Ian, you've always been a kid to me. Ever since I was lost and crying in the royal library ten years ago. ”

“I was only six at the time. And I wasn't the only one crying. It was definitely a ball.......”

“Shh! That's far enough. ”

Cady shakes her head with tears in her eyes.

Ian swallowed the words that were filled up to the tip of his tongue and tasted bad.

As Roan watches, he bursts into laughter.

‘You've been in love since you were very young. Looking at you, you look like a brother and sister. ’

This experience was interesting for Roan as well.

because of things that I had never experienced, seen or known in my last life.

Then.

Hmm?

Roan's gaze, looking at Cady and Ian, trembles briefly.

‘Princess Aelle. ’

You can see her quietly getting up and walking in a crowd of students.

Roan is unwittingly urgent.

“Princess Cady. ”

“Huh?"

Cady looks at Roan, who was playing a prank with Ian.

Roan bows briefly.

“May I invite one more? ”

“Who? I don't care. I like the noise. ”

“Wait, then…"

Roan smiles faintly and takes a step forward.

Cady and many others chased after Roan.

Roan makes a slightly hasty move toward Aelee.

“Princess Aelle. ”

A voice that calls out softly.

As she leaves the training ground, she stops and turns around.

“Baron Tail. ”

She smiles shyly and lowers her head slightly.

It was definitely a different way of treating people than Cady.

“I heard the speech. ”

Aelee's cheeks are red.

Roan nods, smiling and smiling.

“I'm glad you enjoyed the talk. By the way, Princess.......”

“Yes?”

“Would you like to join us for dinner if you have a moment? ”

A sudden request.

"What's wrong with me? ’

Roan was surprised by his actions as well.

He smiles awkwardly and looks back.

Aelee's gaze follows naturally.

Cady, Fred, Ian and Brian stand there looking odd.

Was it Ali who wanted to invite you to dinner? ’

Cady looks a little surprised.

But soon, I shook my head.

"If it's Ali's personality, it's rejection day......."

When I thought about it.

She smiles faintly and nods, looking at people.

“Okay, let's go together. ”

Everyone looked surprised, except for Roan.

I had no idea that Ali, who was rumored to be a Shadow Princess, would suddenly accept an invitation to a meal.

On the other hand, Roan was just happy and satisfied with the situation.

He smiles, looking at her two eyes.

"Thank you."

The word hung on the tip of my tongue.

I wanted to save my words somehow.

In a word, one word was not easy.

But I could tell one thing for sure.

‘The princess is pleased. ’

That's what Ali's eyes were saying.

‘I was happy to give a special speech. ’

I felt like I was the best choice I had made in my last life and in my entire life.

‘It's a beautiful day. ’

It was Roan looking up at the sky for no reason.

* * *

An office with only one candle lit without a window.

“Those guys again? ”

The angry voice echoes through the room.

The protagonist of the voice is a middle-aged man with neat brown hair and round glasses.

He was shining a sharp glare beyond his glasses.

“Yes, now it's touching the side of the palace. ”

The young man standing opposite the middle-aged man bows his head.

The nervousness on his face was powerful.

Because I've been posting bad reports lately.

The glasses man slapped the table.

Boom!

“These are hillbillies. I don't know what's going on with Mills, but I don't." The Royal Palace is the only place we can look. ”

“They must be crazy. ”

The young man struggled coldly.

At that moment, the gaze inside the glasses turned cool.

Each time the candle wafted, his shadow grew longer and shorter.

Gulp.

The young man hurriedly swallowed dry saliva while keeping his mouth shut.

I felt suffocated.

The glasses guy tapped the table with his fingertips.

Exactly! Exactly! Exactly!

Regular sounds filled the office.

Oh, shit!

My fingers finally stopped.

The glasses guy scratched the table with his fingertips and stared at the young man.

“Baba.”

“Yes, yes! ”

The young man responded with a straight answer.

The glasses guy frowned and said.

“Are you just going to keep watching those crazy bastards run wild? ”

“Oh, no. ”

Baba shakes her head coldly.

The man's face hardened.

“Around Milr Castle is the realm of our Janis Intelligence group. The villagers in the northeast of the Kingdom can't outrun me. Okay?”

“Yes, yes. Okay, I'll let the kids go and teach them a lesson. ”

Baba's words distorted the man in the glasses.

“You stupid bastard! You want to go to war with a nobleman? ”

“Well, then? ”

Bava asked me again, not knowing what to do.

The glasses man sighed for a short time.

“Hoo. We've helped a lot of people. Some of you have so far. Why do you think we've been remitting information to these people and keeping an eye on them? It's all about getting help. Do you understand? ”

“Yes, yes. I understand.”

Baba had only just realized what the man in the glasses meant and what was in his heart.

The man in the glasses was a little upset when he saw Bava's face.

“Fine. I'll leave this to you, Baba. Do it right.”

“Yes, I understand. ”

Bava replied with a nervous expression.

Several people's faces flew by in his head.

The glasses guy waved his hand at Bava like that.

It means get out of here.

After a brief greeting, Baba immediately left the office.

The glasses man left alone in the dark and narrow office smiled strangely, sweeping his dry lips.

“Baron Roan Tail...”

I felt a slight tremor in my mouth and eyes.

“The newly aristocratic should not be too greedy. ”

Living by the snow was shining.

“There is a moral order at the bottom of this. ”

* * *

The dining area prepared by Cady flowed into a strange atmosphere.

Roan, the protagonist, is busy talking to Fred, Ian and Brian.

“Are you sure you want to build an academy and a library? ”

“Yes, I'd like to create a number of smaller institutions, if that's the case. ”

“That's a great plan. ”

“But it won't be easy. ”

Cady tried to get into the conversation a few times, but it didn't matter.

"Boring. No fun. ’

As an academic library, administrative organizations were boring and unintelligible.

Eventually, her gaze settles across from her and turns to Ali, who is quietly focusing on her meals.

"Why did she accept the invitation if she's not going to say a word? ’

It was a question of whether they would join us for dinner in the beginning.

As she was about to put a speck of meat in her mouth, she noticed Cady's gaze later.

She smiles faintly at her younger brother.

“Why are you smiling? ”

Cady was straightforward.

Unpretentious and crumpled.

I had to ask questions and say what I wanted to say.

She lowers her knife and fork.

“I laughed because I liked it. ”

“What?”

Cady asked again.

No offense at all.

At the beginning of the conversation, Roan and Fred, Ian and Brian stopped talking and looked at them.

She still smiles and replies.

“All of them. Good food, good vibe, good people. ”

My voice was so clear and clear.

Cady tilts her head slightly, frowning.

“The famous Shadow Princess likes this? ”

She mentions even the unpleasant tinnitus "The Shadow Princess."

At that, she whispers in a small voice.

“Looks like the shadow's long enough to reach everywhere. ”

“How... does it go? ”

Cady asked again without understanding.

She nods slowly.

‘Yes, because the light came close. ’

I did not say the last word, but rolled it in my mouth.

The smile on my mouth became a little darker.

Cady and Roan and others look away as she smiles without a word.

They don't know much about Shadow Princess Aelys yet.

She had more secrets than anyone else.
