I am the Monarch

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

“Baron Tail, you're the one he was looking for, right? ”

“We can see for sure whether we are from the streets or from some other place. ”

“I'm glad I was able to repay you like this. ”

“He's the one the baron's after. He must be a bad guy. ”

A shout came from all around.

The slums of Aran Street flock to the side of Roan and Amaranth's forces.

It was because of the help of Aran's street people that Roan was able to capture Hooker so quickly and so easily.

When they heard that Roan and Amaranth's troops had attacked the wooden warehouse and that they were sending scouts to the Four Gates to look for someone, they took matters into their own hands.

In the meantime, I wanted to give a little help to repay the favor I received from Roan.

Then I saw Hooker who I usually didn't see on Aran Street, and I thought I'd catch up with him.

Even Master of the Janis Informants, Hooker never expected Aran Street to be this organized.

No, that was the same for Amaranth and Clay.

‘This is all because the Lord embraced the people of the streets. ’

‘If you treat people with your heart, you will be rewarded like this. ’

The Amaranth troops look respectfully towards Roan.

When Roan cleaned the streets and the Lotte Cloth for the first time and supported the poor, I thought it would be necessary.

It wasn't wrong to help the poor.

However, the slums of Mill Castle had nothing to do with Roan.

Instead of helping and supporting them, it was much more beneficial to buy Armor and Weapons for the Amaranth troops.

I thought so.

But that's the general soldier's idea.

Roan's thoughts were completely different.

‘The base of the unit is the soldiers, and the base of the territory is the colonists. Likewise, the fundamentals of the country are the people of the kingdom. ’

For Roan, looking up at a little higher, the slums on Aran Street were not unrelated to him.

They were definitely people who would one day be their support base.

‘Strong longevity, outstanding military and excellent management....... they are not the only people in the kingdom. ’

Mincho.

From common folk to slaves.

Everyone was the kingdom he had to walk with.

‘Of course, I didn't expect to get help so soon. ’

Roan smiles faintly.

That's when Hooker, who's being dragged away by the Amaranth troops, screams.

“You bastards! When I get back out there, I'm gonna kill every single one of those Aran Street bastards! ”

Terrible voice.

Hooker breathes life into the people of Aran Street.

At that moment, Roan turns around and punches.

Out of the way!

His fist slaps Hooker in the jaw.

“Huff!”

I broke my jaw in one punch.

Roan grunts in a low voice, grabbing Hooker's head.

“What if I go back out there? Hehe.”

Cool voice.

I lived in the tail of my eyes.

“This could happen in the next life. ”

Moment.

“Hehehe.”

Hooker later erupts the hiccups.

I trembled all over with a white bored face.

As Roan watched, he tapped Hooker's head.

‘None of the people I have to take with me are scum like you. ’

There were only good people to be with.

Of course, it was only Roan who knew exactly what those good people meant.

* * *

“I've had a lot of help. ”

“No. I thought I was helping you, but then I turned around and said no. ”

Roan and Clay sit face to face and chat.

Clay's expression was mysteriously complex.

When I first learned of Janis' plan, I thought I could save Roan and help him greatly.

In fact, things went as he thought in the beginning.

But even the king had no help in gaining control of the war and capturing the Master Hooker of the Janis Informatics.

After promising to help me dig out the roots, I only threw out leaves and branches.

‘With this specialty, you cannot get such a big position. ’

Clay sighs briefly.

Roan, who was watching, pretends not to know what he was talking about.

“Then how did you become so exposed to the inside matter of the Janice Informatics? ”

“Oh, that's.......”

Clay smiles and replies.

“Because I have a mole on the inside. ”

“Spy?”

When Roan asks, Clay ponders for a moment and shakes his head.

“On second thought, you're more of an inside source than a spy. ”

Roan tilts his head.

Clay's words continue.

“We had captured some of Janice's informants and were gathering inside information or missing some reports. ”

“Ah.......”

Roan bursts a low elasticity.

‘Perhaps Mr. Clay was assisting us in our counter-attack operation this time. ’

It's all thanks to Clay that the Janis Intelligence team's report was not carried out smoothly in preparation or in progress.

He deliberately omitted a report that went up to Hooker centered on his sources.

“It's good to collect and analyze information yourself, but it's also a good idea to create sources inside and extract key information. ”

At Clay's words, Roan nods.

“Then…..”

They had extensive conversations, starting with the use of informants, with Janis Intelligence and various intelligence organizations, as well as stories about Mills Castle and the Royal Palace, as well as stories about the Druids.

Suddenly, the sunset begins to set outside the window.

Is it time already? ’

As time went by, Clay's bold and confident expression began to discredit him.

"Why don't you have the heart to reap me? ’

He wanted Roan to suggest an equal offer first.

Then he pretended he couldn't win and decided to show off his skills.

However, despite talking all day long, Roan did not bring up a story about equivalence.

No, it didn't even look like that.

“Anyway, thank you so much for this. ”

He even appeared to want to end the conversation.

Clay silently stares at Roan.

Roan smiles faintly.

It seemed as if I had something to say.

‘Whew.’

Clay sighs briefly.

‘You decided to take care of Baron Tail anyway. ’

That's why I revealed the identity of the Druid.

Clay got up from his seat, tidied up his clothes and bowed his head.

“Baron Tail, I should have told you earlier..."

He continues to speak softly and calmly.

“Will you take me under your wing? I want to take the Baron with me. ”

Polite and respectful.

However, his face was still overconfident.

Roan smiles quietly at his appearance.

Heavy silence.

‘Would you say no......? ’

Clay swallowed a dry needle.

I didn't even think about it.

There's no reason to reject a talent as powerful as I am. ’

Solid, deep pride, blue.

That's when Roan got up.

“Rather, that's what I'd like to ask of you. ”

He reaches out his right hand.

“Mr. Clay, will you join me? ”

Bold voice.

‘Mr Clay, your skills are very high. But.......’

His eyes were calm, clear, and deep.

‘I don't just want someone who's talented. Good man, I hope you're a good man. ’

A subtle difference.

There was a subtle difference between Roan and Clay when looking at people.

Roan was looking for a good man, not just a good man, and Clay was looking for a good man, not just a good man.

In a way, it was the same word, but the difference was clear depending on where the focus was more.

Clay shakes his head and grabs Roan's hand.

“Thank you. I will do everything I can for Baron Tail, or the Lord." ”

At that, Roan shakes his head with a smile.

“No. Do it for the colonists, not for me. ”

This was his personality and values.

Clay bows slightly.

“Yes, I understand. I will.”

They looked into each other's eyes for a while, giving each other complex eyes.

Same idea, same idea, completely different eyes.

We didn't know which of these ideas mattered to each other.

* * *

Roan entrusted Clay with the management of Amaranth troops' weapons and supplies.

Clay was a little disappointed that the position wasn't as important as he initially thought, but he reassured himself that it wasn't as bad at the beginning of the commission.

Meanwhile, executives from the Janis Intelligence Corps, including Hooker, were executed when they revealed the murders of Roan and threatening various nobles among themselves.

At the same time, the nobles who accompanied Anthony Houghton and the hunting grounds were dismissed and imprisoned for attempting to kill Roan themselves.

In the process, the position of the two-prince Tommy Rhine, which they had supported and followed, was once again greatly shaken.

Unlike this, Roan's popularity, which overcame the moment of crisis beautifully and put on a counter attack, increased like a thrust into the sky.

Simultaneously, the popularity of the First Prince Simon Rhine, who was closely related to him, grew.

In this situation, Roan took Clay and Keefe's advice and attacked several intelligence groups based in Milr Castle and the region.

Fortunately, many of the information they collected from the Janis Intelligence Agency contained various misconduct and criminal facts.

Thanks to this, no one disputes or complains about Amaranth's attack.

Roan joined several intelligence groups and joined forces with Keefe, which led to Amaranth's intelligence group becoming larger than Agents'.

“We can no longer operate as fisticuffs because the size of the informants has grown considerably larger. ”

Roan puts Keefe in front of his mind.

Situation already with Agency as primary intelligence organization.

In this situation, operating the Amaranth Informatics in a similar manner was very inefficient.

"Later, he created a special forces unit and tried to run it when it got bigger….."

Roan was going to go ahead with some of his plans.

He looks at Keefe.

“Keef, I'm going to call the Amaranth Informants Tenebrae Squad separately from now on, and I'm going to be a little bit different about the nature of the unit. ”

“Does your personality differ......? ”

He was nervous.

Although he led an intelligence agency and established several majors, he was well aware that the agencies that Chris was leading were several places in his mission to gather and analyze information.

I was worried that Amaranth Intelligence Force, or Tenebra, would be disbanded at this rate.

“We will also be responsible for collecting and analyzing information, but we will also be resumed on special missions, operational missions, and intelligence missions. ”

A unit called the Special Forces.

This was also the unit Ian Phillips would establish in the next few years.

In my past life, it was so hidden from the veil that few of their specialties were known.

People called Ian's Special Forces Shadow Squad separately.

If Ian Phillips' right arm was Chris' lead agent, his left arm was this special force.

“Th, special mission? ”

Keefe stammers.

I was heartbroken by the words "special."

Roan nods slowly.

“Your Tenebrae troops will be important in many wars, battles and operations to come. ”

“Ah.......”

Keefe burst low elasticity.

I felt overwhelmed.

Until just now, I was worried about disbanding the troops.

‘Tenebra, a special task force. ’

My heart was beating fast.

Keefe bows his head.

“Phew! I'll do my best from now on. ”

Powerful custom.

Roan slapped Keefe on the shoulder with an icy smile.

‘Mill Castle became a no-man 's-land, and the information board in this neighbourhood should be received by Agents.......’

We can send Tenebrae troops into the battle between the impending royal succession and the nobles to carry out various Duke and Espionage tasks.

The system is gradually being captured.

Then.

Knock, knock, knock.

“My lord.”

You hear Austin's voice with a knock.

“Come in.”

Roan nods with a slight glance at Keefe.

At the same time, the door to the office opened and Austin appeared.

Keefe bows his head and leaves the office.

Austin waited for a moment, then carefully said in a low voice.

“You have a visitor. ”

“Who is it this time? ”

Roan asks again in a bold voice.

Otherwise, many noble visits and invitations have begun following the events of Anthony Houghton and the Janis Intelligence Force.

Austin replied with a strange expression.

“This is Baron Elva Dionard. For your reference.......”

The strange expression became darker.

“She's a beautiful woman. ”

“Hmm?"

After looking through the documents on the table, Roan frowns slightly.

Baron Elva Dionard? ’

Somehow that name was familiar to my ears.

"Who was it?"

The memory was hazy.

I didn't seem to get caught.

It was cloudy as fog.

“My lord?”

I heard Austin's voice.

“Oh... yes. ”

After a late thought, Roan clears up a bunch of paperwork.

“Take her to the reception. ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

Austin nods and takes a step.

After clearing out the wardrobe, Roan headed to the reception room.

‘Elba Dional.......’

It was a nobleman I had never met in my life.

No, I've never heard of it.

‘Then I've heard it in my last life.......’

Definitely a familiar name.

He sits in a fluffy leather chair on one side of the reception hall and thinks:

Then.

Knock, knock, knock.

Soon after a knock on the door, Austin and a beautiful woman appeared.

‘That woman is Baron Elva Dional. ’

I thought it might remind me of my face, but it was also as blurry as fog.

But Roan did not make the mistake of falling deeply into his own thoughts.

He cautiously approaches and lowers his head slightly.

“Nice to meet you. Roan Tail.”

“Nice to meet you. This is Elba Dional. ”

A voice as beautiful as a face.

Austin quickly prepared his car and left the reception room.

Roan and Elba sat face to face and smiled.

“Is this the first time we've met? ”

Roan asked me carefully first.

Elva nods lightly.

“Yes, I've seen them a few times in the distance, but I've never seen them face to face like this. ”

“Still, it's not like I haven't seen you before. ”

Roan gives you a bold expression.

I put down the tea cup that Elba was holding.

“Perhaps you've heard of us. ”

“Rumors?”

“Yes, a rumor about a gathering of me and many nobles. ”

Roan quietly waits for the next word.

Elba smiled shyly and spoke in hindsight.

“I'm part of a group called the 12-Hatzling. The mother of the young nobles of the Rhine Kingdom.......”

When the horse goes on like that.

“Ah!”

Roan bursts into resilience without even knowing it.

No, it was more like sighing.

I feel the fog lifting in my head.

‘Elba Diona, you forgot Elba Diona, the Iron Woman. ’

Only then did I have a clear memory of the woman in front of me, Elba.

A steel woman who slashed the necks of her beloved lovers and brothers for the Kingdom of Rhine.

‘I killed my lover and ended my life in suicide. ’

It was going to happen in just five or six years.

‘Because of Elba Dional, the Three Prince Column Lines was the next king.......’

Roan's eyes tremble very well.

It was because I saw a great wave of history, the beginning of it, before my eyes.
