I am the Monarch

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

“Brian, you don't have to do that. ”

Roan lets out a long breath and sticks out his tongue.

His gaze flickers back at Brian.

“No, I'm fine, really. ”

Brian grins and replies.

He wears armor from head to toe.

Problem is.

“No matter how important the basics are, I didn't mean to wear heavy armor as usual. ”

The fact that Brian wears armor is an extremely heavy armor that is not worn well in combat.

Brian shakes his hand.

“No, the basics are as important as the baron says. And since yesterday, I stopped practicing Mana. ”

“Hmm."

As Roan tries to say a few more words, he shuts up.

Because Brian's face was so serious.

‘I'll quit after a few days. ’

Roan shakes his head and takes another step.

Austin, walking next to him, whispers in a small voice.

“That guy. Are you sure you're a genius? I don't think we have enough. ”

At that, Roan bursts into laughter.

That's when Brian hears his voice.

“Commander Austin the White! I'm a genius! ”

Brian is the eldest son of the writer Miles, and although he was a nobleman, his ascension was decided according to the ranks of the unit that had become his vassal.

Brian, a general soldier, was taking Austin, a white smith, as his superior officer, and using honorific words.

Of course, Austin and his Dozens had a hard time treating Brian, the noble disciple, at first, but he bowed his head and came in, so it was straightened out.

Austin shakes his head as he sees Brian taking a miraculous step.

“I don't know if he's a genius, but he's got a lot of strength. ”

There was a sniveling, silly laugh.

Meanwhile, Roan takes a diligent walk through Castle Mills.

Until Simon's instructions and Keydy's access to the Royal Library were issued, I decided to take a look around every corner at the largest and busiest castle in the kingdom.

‘The system is clearly well organized because it is the Kingdom. ’

Most of the streets were wide and clean, with very efficient housing and shopping arrangements.

‘The Baron Tail should be made much better, like Castle Mills, or rather than Castle Mills. ’

But I couldn't do everything by myself.

Moreover, he spent most of his life on the battlefield.

In Roan's mind, there were many outstanding plans that he had seen and experienced in the future, but he lacked the ability to actually implement them.

‘We need diverse talent across multiple disciplines. ’

Only the strongest of the powered can advance the territory.

Fortunately, President Fred Brown recommended Tron Academy graduates.

‘If they come, they'll be short of breath. ’

Of course, if they are as difficult to deal with as Fred said, they will have to suffer some hardship.

While thinking about it, Roan's footsteps led to a slum on the outskirts of Castle Mill.

“Hmm.”

Austin follows you around, frowning and stuffing his nose.

I felt a headache because of the awful stench.

Take a break.

I only took fifty steps across the expansive and expansive road across the city.

However, the scene in front of me was completely different from that of the spectacular Mill Castle I had just seen.

It's a short walk for two.

There was a small canopy crossing the street.

It was the source of the stench.

The water was so murky that the floor was invisible, it was full of all kinds of filth and insects.

“Queek! Queek! ”

“Ahhhh! Mom! ”

“Uh-huh-huh-huh-huh.”

“Ahhh! Fuck! Who the fuck is crying and shit! ”

The sound of sick coughs, the cries of children and women, and the scorn of drunkards.

All kinds of noises spread out, filling the alleyway.

“Baron, I think you're in the Slum. Let's just leave now." ”

Austin still snores.

On the other hand, Roan only looks at the old, dirty streets with a serious look.

The skinny ones look vigilant to Roan and his group.

‘I had a time like that. ’

A memory I had forgotten for a moment.

Severe scenes passed through my mind.

Roan shakes his head slightly and looks at Brian.

“Brian. Where is this place? ”

“Aran Street. The king is also the poorest in Mill. I've only heard of it. I've never actually been there. ”

Even Brian, who was studying at Tron Academy, had never been on the streets before.

“Are you unaware of this situation in the administration of Mill Castle or in the palace? ”

Brian smiles bitterly at Roan's question.

“You're welcome. I know all about it. And yet, I'm just touching it. ”

“Why?”

Roan regrets asking questions.

‘There can't be a reason. You won't see anything as low as here for those people up there. ’

It's different.

“Well, I don't know about that. ”

Brian shakes his head with a stiff look.

“Whew.”

After a long breath, Roan looks at Austin.

“What are you doing with Amaranth's men? ”

The total number of Amaranth troops who accompanied Roan to King do Mill was over 200.

“Some soldiers are on a mission with the Informants and others are training in individual training and tactics. ”

After seeing the spectacular Mill Castle, the Amaranth troops were living a life unlike usual, even if they were momentarily shaken or distracted.

They have not neglected their duties and responsibilities.

Of course, it was the same with Roan.

He was also focusing on practicing the Flamdor Mana and Raid techniques as he slept less.

Moreover, he has been working on bringing together a number of practical spears that he knows.

It wouldn't have been possible had it been an old Roan, but using the narrative of the Reid Act allowed me to imitate it somewhat.

We had to see if it would be of any use.

Roan nods and shakes his hand.

“All the rest of the troops are converging on Aran Street, except for the troops on the move." ”

“Yes, I understand! ”

Austin did not ask why.

Roan never gives a useless order.

Soon Austin stepped off the street.

Brian, standing behind you, cautiously asks.

“W-what are you trying to do? ”

At this point, Roan looks at Aran Street and replies briefly.

“I intend to shine a glorious light on this street. ”

“Yes?”

Brian asks again without understanding.

But Roan smiled instead of answering.

After a short while, Amaranth's men appear with loud noises.

Brian looks at them unconsciously and stops, his eyes wide open.

His gaze settles on the left side of the squad's breastplate.

On the left side of the breastplate was a crest engraved with petals, two spears, and one shield.

And the short text on the border.

< Glorious light will be with us in our path. >

Roan's words were a quote engraved on the Baron Tail's crest.

* * *

“Did you hear the story? ”

“What story? ”

“Ah, the story of the baron of tails. ”

“Ah! Amaranth Force? ”

“Yes. That. ”

People gathered next to the glamorous street.

They were swarming all over the place, talking about one thing.

“You're eighth already? ”

“Yes. It was only eight days ago that I cleaned up the Lot Cloth and started caring for the Slum people. ”

People expressing their tongues a little surprised.

It's because the people of Miller knew what a filthy and disgusting place Aran Street and Lot Cloth were.

I could eat everything in the morning even if I went near it.

“He's a very unusual man. ”

“I know. Is this because you haven't been a nobleman in a while? ”

“Maybe so. ”

The protagonists of the rumors that are heating up Mill Castle these days were Ronan and Amaranth's troops.

“If you've just become a nobleman, shouldn't you meet some of the top nobles, greet them, or throw a ball? ”

“That's right. That's noble politics, noble society. ”

It was a speech like that of the saints of Mill.

But they are also ordinary people.

“I wish there were more of these nobles, though. ”

“Of course. If only the other nobles were like Baron Tail... Phew. ”

At that time, all the people who were chatting next to me looked at one place and burst into elasticity.

“Oh! It's Baron Tail. ”

“Amaranth's men. ”

Half mesmerized voice.

Even so, he could not see that the molluscs and costumes of Roan and Amaranth troops walking on one side were of noble nobility and of the pretenders who followed him.

Shabby work clothes full of dirt.

In each hand were brooms and mops instead of swords and spears.

‘Cow, more than rumor. ’

‘I've never seen a nobleman like this. ’

The saints were appalled.

But the horror was never an unpleasant horror.

I felt satisfied and proud of something.

Pair!

Someone applauds the passing members of Roan and Amaranth.

Boom, boom!

The sound of applause spread.

Boom, boom! Boom, boom! Pair!

Conventionally, there was a loud clapping throughout the street.

The Amaranth troops rush forward, smiling awkwardly.

But his eyes were filled with pride and awe that he couldn't hide.

‘I'm glad you did what the baron said. ’

The men clenched their fists together.

‘I trust the baron and follow him to the end. ’

This led to the deeper loyalty of the troops.

* * *

Roan is not just a backpacked personality with orders.

He always moves ahead of the troops.

Although Austin tried to dissuade him several times, he made a similar statement each time.

“When my arms and legs are cut off and my torso is chopped off, all I have to do is give the word, I'll do it. ”

Roan wasn't the only talking commander.

I was still cleaning the most dirty and disgusting lot cloth.

Lot cloth was a stream of water flowing across the Aran street, and it was severely contaminated with all kinds of impurities.

‘The slums of Aran Street are using this water as drinking water. ’

A truly terrible situation.

Because of this, Roan ordered Amaranth's troops to clean the Lotte Fabric first.

In addition, I began to buy large quantities of clean water and bread and distribute it generously to the people of Aran Street.

It cost more than I thought, but I didn't feel bad about it at all.

‘It's money. You can make it again. ’

I made this money to spend anyway.

Roan continues to take out the rubbish as he walks along the side of Lot 1,000.

“You're amazing. ”

“You may be a nobleman, but you're no different. ”

“What are you talking about? Rather, he takes care of and cares for people much lower than before. ”

“Yes. Yes. Maybe the real aristocrat is the baron Tail. ”

Some troops stick their tongues out as they see Roan working on cleaning.

At that time, a man with a lot of time on his face appeared, dragging his feet.

The clothes I was wearing were more than just clothes.

My hair grew out of place, I was blindfolded, and it was so dirty that I couldn't even gauge my age.

The man makes a volatile move toward Roan.

Roan shakes his head and looks away as he tries to stop the troops he was watching.

Roan bites his men back and smiles at the man staring at him.

“What's the matter? ”

After becoming a nobleman, Roan used respect for those who were not his subordinates.

The man stands tall, staring at Roan, and takes out a loaf of bread from his chest.

It was a dirty bread that was buried at great times.

“I brought it because you seem hungry. ”

Surprisingly clear and young voice.

Roan nods, smiling brightly.

“Thank you."

After handing over the dirty bread without hesitation, he slashes his mouth wide.

The man sat on the side of Lot, without saying anything.

He looks at Roan, scratching his neck with his fingertips.

“Baron Tail. Why are you helping the poor of Aran Street who have no ointment and no relationship? ”

A sudden question.

Roan replied, removing the bread crumbs from his mouth.

“Who do you need a reason to help? I just want to make life a little better here. ”

“Hmm.”

The man shed a brief drool.

This time, he asked while scooping out the nostrils.

“I'm only 29 this year. I want to do something big before I turn thirty. Do you think you could work for the baron of Tails? ”

At that, Roan glances at the man calmly.

Hair covering both eyes was also hair, but the man's eyes were so small that it was hard to see the eyes.

Roan nods, smiling and smiling.

“You can do anything you want. All right, let's work together. ”

The man's eyes slightly trembled.

He scratches his back head and asks again.

“Can I join the Amaranth Force?" ”

“If you're good at training camp, you can do it. ”

“Can I be a Cadet or a Cadet? ”

“If you have that specialty, of course you can. ”

Roan's answer is straightforward.

The man hesitated for a moment and asked again.

“If you continue to study, can you get to higher ground? ”

At that, Roan nods, smiling brightly.

“If you have a really great specialty, you can give me a seat. ”

“Hmm.”

The man drooled again.

He looks a little surprised.

Then he yawns and buries his head.

Roan watches his appearance and starts clearing out the rubbish again.

How long has it been?

“Whew.”

Roan takes a short breath.

A polite expression.

The cleaning on the side of the cloth is over.

Then the man who was sitting silently got up from his seat and bowed his head.

“Thank you for cleaning up. Baron Tail.”

At that point, Roan just smiles.

As he tries to move again, the man comes up loud and whispers in a small voice.

“Let me show you a simple thing in return for cleaning our lot cloth. ”

The man holds Roan's hand coldly and mutters an unknown word.

Then, I opened my eyes and smiled strangely.

“Be careful when the owl bites the branch, it can leave a big room for the statue. ”

Words you can't even understand.

Roan frowns and looks at the man in front of him.

‘This guy....... what is it? ’

When I think about it.

The man lowers his head once more.

“My name is Clay. ”

He slowly raises his head and looks directly into Roan's eyes.

The eyes that were lifted up suddenly returned to its original state.

Eyes so small I doubt I'll be able to see them.

Clay smiles faintly and talks behind his back.

“Please remember. ”

I didn't know if it was a name or a dot.
