I am the Monarch
< Chapter 22 Good People >
------------------------------------
“Should we take him in, too? ”
“Of course. No one fits in better with us than him. ”
Ten young men and two young women.
Twelve young people were sitting around a large round table talking.
His face was soft and his voice was small, but the atmosphere was very hot.
“Okay, so who should do the persuasive work? ”
Everyone looked at the woman scared to death.
“Elba Dionard, the moonlighter, is qualified for this. ”
“I think Elvara can count on it. ”
“Elva should do it for you. ”
Praise and gaze poured out.
The woman, Elva, smiles faintly and nods.
“Okay, I'll do it. ”
Reasonable voices and attitudes that don't suit a clean appearance.
She was only twenty-five years old, but she was the baron of the Rhine Kingdom and the head of the Dional family.
Several countries on the continent, including the Rhine Kingdom, have been harassing or laundering women. Of course, it wasn't easy.
The woman should have been much more capable and not been a bit of a failure.
That is why noblewomen are great abilities, just because they are nobles.
Elba was one of the youngest of such noblewomen.
She looks back at the young men and women sitting around the table.
Twelve young people, including themselves, were all in their twenties to early thirties.
They were the heads of a family and nobles of a kingdom.
These twelve were a group of young nobles representing the Rhine Kingdom.
“Fine. Then I'll leave the convince Baron Tail to Elva. ”
Sheet Wiggins, the head of the meeting and baron of the Reigns Kingdom, settled the matter.
He turned his back on everyone.
“As you all know, our 12-Hatzling is acting as a minority in the Rhine aristocratic world. We each have different princes who support us, but no matter which one of us succeeds the throne, no matter how divided we are, no matter which one of us is the heir to the throne, no matter how divided we are.
We must be loyal to them. Okay? "
Everyone nods.
“Of course. That's what we came here to do. ”
“Of course.”
“We will do our best for the Rhine Kingdom and the people of the Rhine Kingdom. ”
A slightly reminiscent voice.
Sheet smiles and nods.
I was pleased.
‘It's been hard to get here. ’
The first time we formed a small group called Hatchling, there were only three of them.
The sheet was dismayed by the arrogant, obstructive, power-oriented, and incapable appearance of the existing nobles, and brought together young nobles with progressive and reformed ideas to form a small waves.
The numbers have now reached twelve members, one by one, by thoroughly verifying their strengths and abilities.
‘The thirteenth member will be Baron Roan Tail. ’
The hottest guy in town these days.
If he were to join the gathering, it would be quite a force.
Sheet's gaze turned to Elba.
‘Elvara would be good at it. ’
Elva was one of the original year members of the Hatching Group.
Elva was quite a moonlighter, with most of her members convinced.
At that moment, Sheet and Elba's gaze met.
They smiled at each other faintly.
‘Elva, I trust you. ’
The look in the sheet meant that.
But...
‘Ah....... my love, Sheet. ’
Elba's gaze had a different meaning.
* * *
Khhh!
The bustle that roars through the forest.
Rabaer wrinkles his neck and cries out loudly, and soon collapses.
He had a long, thick black spear in his neck.
Travis spear.
The black spear was undoubtedly Roan's lover Travis Spear.
“Whew.”
Roan takes a short breath and tugs at the end of the spear.
LaBehr's deeply embedded spear reveals itself.
"Hunting Rabaer alone......."
Roan was surprised and surprised to see himself.
I hunted a labyrinth in my last life.
I was used to hunting for their entertainment as a distraction by a general class of hunting activities.
‘At that time, 20 regular soldiers were sticking together and barely caught one. ’
What a rush.
Roan shakes his spear, smiling bitterly.
Rabaer's blood splatters into the windshield.
“Wow.......”
The general soldier who was watching the situation around him was amazed.
Rumor has it that they were also great heroes in the Punitive Battle.
‘Not long ago, I was a regular soldier. ’
‘I thought rumors were supposed to swell. ’
‘I thought I was lucky enough to see Prince Simon through a lightning bolt. ’
But Roan was more than just a rumor.
A little clumsy, but no more clumsy riding and spear.
In particular, Roan's spear was among the soldiers.
I feel like I'm seeing a twirl that has no beginning or end.
The scene of Roan driving his horse through the fields and killing Rabaer was truly overwhelming.
The ordinary soldiers, who were acting as pushers, just looked at Roan with trembling eyes.
‘I've been there. ’
Roan tugs at you, recalling his old self.
‘Don't just stare and be afraid. Try. If you try, you can be anything. ’
In fact, he tried to die twice in his life.
I could not see that I had succeeded in my last life, but I could see the light in this life because there was still that effort.
‘A country that can be anything just by trying. I'll make it up to you. ’
Roan takes a deep breath.
Uplifted my heart.
Meanwhile, the horses head back towards the Duke of Anthony Horton and the nobles.
Dagdac. Dagdac.
Everyone is silent, but only the hooves are heard.
“My lord, you've done well. ”
Harrison raises his thumb as Roan approaches, waiting.
Roan shakes his head, smiling.
“This level of skill is nothing. ”
His gaze naturally turned to Anthony.
“I hear you're quite skilled with your sword, Count Horton. This time, I want you to look good. ”
“Ugh, yeah? ”
Anthony smiles at the sudden offer.
“Me, me? ”
At the repeated question, Roan nods lightly.
Anthony smiled awkwardly and looked at the nobles, but they also had no choice.
‘Damn. What the hell is going on? ’
It was clearly marked by a trap.
But there were no traps there.
No, there was no way to know for sure.
Very few traps have been trampled by Roan.
A trap somewhere else could be set properly.
‘Damn it.'
In the end, there is one way.
‘Avoid where traps are marked first. ’
Then at least I won't be wasted.
As Anthony rolls his head in and out of the complex interior, he hears Roan's voice.
“Do you want me to go and get Rabaer? ”
At that, Anthony quickly wakes up and shakes his hand.
“No. I'll leave that to the muppets. ”
As Roan enters the forest from here, he finds the prepared labyrinth.
Anthony draws his sword in a hurry and pulls the pin.
“Don't mock me for lack of skills. ”
He kicks the horse in the belly, pretending to be modest.
Two or two.
A horse boasting a smooth fuselage ran across the field.
A labyrinth protrudes out of the forest as if waiting.
‘Let's avoid any booby traps. ’
Anthony handled the horses with free materials.
He was a nobleman from birth. He was quite good at riding.
Pa!
The horse dances freely between the trap marks and the markings.
Rabaer, who was wandering around suddenly, is getting close to being caught.
"Strike his throat with a single blow......."
When I thought about it.
Pussy!
With an unpleasant sound, my gaze leans to the right.
The horse's fuselage shakes dangerously as if it were falling.
“Huh?"
Anthony was surprised and pulled the pin firmly.
But the horse did not regain its balance.
It was because the ground that was firmly trodden collapsed for a moment.
Kugu!
The horse that burned Anthony with a loud voice fades to the ground.
“Ahhhh!”
Anthony screams in a sudden state.
Hee-hee-hee!
The horse also cried violently.
Qajik!
When you lose your balance and fall to the depths of the ground, the horse's legs are broken without cause.
Anthony's situation was also not very good.
I broke my ankle and wrist, and I suffered severe abrasions everywhere.
‘Ha, traps? Why are there traps in this place? ’
He instinctively realizes he's trapped.
Anthony shakes his head, looking back into the pit.
‘This is not a trap that we made. ’
In the trap he set, sharp weapons like swords and spears are mounted upside down.
But right now, the place he's in is just a deep pit.
‘Why is this trap……? ’
Questions and doubts continued in my head.
But now was not the time to relax and ponder.
“Oops!”
A pile of dirt continues to spill over my head.
He squeals at the mouth of the pit.
“Help me! Get me out of here! Come on!"
Anthony's cry is heard clearly in the ears of the knights and nobles who were watching the situation outside.
“My lord!”
The knights, including Ted, kick the horse's belly with an urgent look.
On the other side of the field and in the forest, the scouts rushed in.
“Well, it's dangerous to move around like that..."
Several nobles shouted in anxious expressions, watching Roan's awareness and silencing.
Roan gives a serious look, pretending not to know.
“Looks like you're in a bear trap. Let's all go save Prince Horton. ”
The nobles nodded and pulled their heads together.
‘Damn. There were no booby traps, were there? ’
"What? Where the hell is the trap and where is the safe?" ’
The nobles rush toward Anthony, but the nerves are tight.
Because they couldn't even fathom where the trap was.
By the way, I can see Roan following me.
Then.
“Oh!”
“Ow!”
“Aah!”
The Knights and Terracotta Soldiers that were moving ahead have gone underground with a scream.
“Huff!”
“Oops!”
The nobles who had fallen behind stood still, swallowing the false wind.
They don't move with a frightened look on their faces.
‘Dammit. There are bear traps everywhere. ’
"Did Count Horton set you up and not even check the bear traps? ’
The nobles never thought that the place where Anthony, Knight, and Terracotta Soldiers were missing was a trap prepared by Roan.
Roan smiles deeply at the stone-hardened nobles.
‘You guys, don't move. From now on, here.......’
When I thought about it.
Phew! Phew!
You hear the horn.
“Huh?"
“What?”
However, the highborn who were nervous turned their heads to the place where they heard the trumpet.
“Ah.......”
A low elasticity burst from everyone's mouth for a moment.
< Amaranth. >
Along with the sound of the trumpet, those who appeared at the end of the field were Amaranth's men.
They gallop ahead of the squad.
Roan smiles at Amaranth's troops.
‘From now on, this place is controlled by our Amaranth troops. ’
* * *
Austin led the Amaranth troops around the outskirts of Castle Mill, conducting tactical drills for the troops.
It was an official training with permission from the royal palace.
However, the objective of this exercise was elsewhere.
‘Dismantle the plans of Birkhoff Horton and his men. ’
Orders from Roan.
< Amaranth battalion waits at the eastern end of the hunting ground. If Bird of Anthony Houghton and his men are trapped, sound the horn and reveal yourself. We...... >
Austin's eyes sparkled and said the light.
‘We saved those bastards and we found out all the people involved in this. ’
Roan had no intention of executing Anthony and the nobles immediately.
‘No matter how much I wanted to impress the prince, I could not have planned something so ignorant and bold by myself. ’
That was Roan's idea.
There must be some backpackers or co-planners.
At this opportunity, Roan intends to completely draw out the forces that are aiming for him.
Austin leads his troops around the hunting grounds and heads back to Roan.
“My Lord! Are you all right?" ”
Quite a performance.
Roan nods, smiling deeply.
“I'm fine. What are you doing here? ”
Austin answered coldly as he asked the already concrete question.
“I stopped by on my way back from my unit tactical training. ”
“Good. This is not good. ”
Roan and Austin.
The two of them continued to smoke.
The nobles who were afraid of falling into traps or bear traps were half mesmerized by Amaranth's sudden arrival.
‘Yi, this is so wrong even if it goes wrong. ’
‘If we are wrong, we will be beaten. ’
Anthony and his victims have already fallen into a trap and are unable to move freely.
If any tricks were to be devised against Roan, they could be captured or killed by Roan and Amaranth's troops.
At that moment, you hear Roan's voice.
“Stay where you are, just in case. Our Amaranth forces will search this bear trap. ”
“Well, do that. ”
The nobles just nod.
Roan looks at Austin as he makes his inner complaint.
“Amaranth troops can trap bears first.......”
When the horse goes on like that.
“No, you don't have to. ”
You hear a familiar voice behind the troops.
Hmm?
Roan tilts his head and looks away.
At that moment, a shocking light appeared in his eyes.
“You are……"
The young man who appeared after scattering his troops to his side was Clay.
Clay walks toward Roan, smiling gladly.
“Do you remember me? ”
Cleaned up differently than when I met Roan.
Suddenly, I couldn't recognize him at all.
But Roan cleverly remembers Clay's little eyes and the strange atmosphere.
“Of course, Mr. Clay. ”
“Ah! You remember me as well. And.......”
Clay smiles brightly and looks at the stiff-necked nobles and traps.
“You remember my fortune too well. ”
Satisfied face.
However, I frowned slightly.
“But what are you doing? ”
Roan replied with a bold voice.
“I'm trying to save Prince Horton and his wives. ”
At that, Clay shakes his head.
“Baron, if you want to dig for roots, you have to dig for roots. Why are you trying to break leaves and stalks?" ”
“Hmm.”
Roan swallows his brow with a slightly startled look.
‘It sees through my thoughts and plans. ’
Clearly Clay was not an ordinary young man.
Clay rubs his right ear ring and says,
“Let's go dig for roots. I.......”
The tiny eyes curled up strangely.
“I'll walk you through it. ”
The sound of his voice flows in the wind.
