I am the Monarch

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

"Oh! Baron Tail. You've come a long way."

Prince Reytas Persian greets you with open arms.

Roan bows slightly.

"I'm here to see Prince Reytas Persian. Roan Tail."

"I was familiar with the Red Ghosts. Not only is he good at strategy, tactics, but he's good at skilllessness."

It was thanks to the captives of the Estelle Kingdom that Reytas and the Persian Empire came across rumors of red spirits.

In the process of gathering information about the Eastern Kingdom, he naturally heard about the Red Ghost Roan Tail.

'That's different from what I've heard. Hair, eyebrows and eyes were said to be red.......'

Reytas looks into Roan's eyes.

"That's flattering. I'm just lucky."

Roan nods, smiling faintly.

Reytas nods and steps aside.

"I hear you've had a hard time crossing the border. Let's greet His Majesty and enjoy the banquet."

"Thank you for your concern."

Roan lowers his head slightly and climbs into the wagon prepared by Reytas.

"Reytas Persion......."

It was the first time he had seen Reytas in person today.

In my last life, I received the throne from my father, Abed von Persian, and transformed the Persian kingdom into a kingdom.

"The Byron and Estelle kingdoms combined have taken over 100 castles. '

Thanks to this, Byron Kingdom has no choice but to ignore the border of the Rhine Kingdom against the Persian Kingdom.

The Kingdom of Rhine attacked the Byron Kingdom and captured dozens of castles.

'Maybe that's one of the reasons why the age of war also happened.'

Roan raises his head slightly, looking out the window at Reytas.

Handsome appearance and reliable body.

I definitely felt like a prodigy.

But...

"I don't know why I feel so uncomfortable......."

Is it because he is competing for succession to the Reich and knows the terrible future of the Persian Empire?

Roan sighs for a moment.

'You must first learn about King Persian and then meet Prince Manus.'

That's the purpose of this call.

Even as Roan was thinking about it, the wagon ran diligently and entered the castle.

"Everyone's waiting."

Reytas gets off the wagon first and heads for the battle in the middle of the palace.

Harrison, Brian and Clay, who have been chasing after each other, look a little nervous at Roan.

Roan smiles faintly as if he had nothing to worry about, then slowly moves on.

'As numerous as the crown prince.'

The Palace of the Persian Kingdom was smaller and more modest than the Palace of the Rhine Kingdom.

The difference in power was quite evident.

At every step of the way, the guards who were waiting in advance opened the door.

After taking a step without delay, I came to the front of the war where the king and his successors were.

Reytas glances back at Roan, lowering his head and clapping his hands.

Moment.

Kuuuh-uh.

A huge door opens to the left and to the right, revealing itself in the battle.

'Hmm.'

Roan swallows his brow unknowingly.

The battle in front of him surprised him for two reasons.

The first is glamour.

Unlike the royal or royal kingdoms we have seen so far, there were all kinds of jewels and gold in the battle.

The light emitted by the jewels breaks my eyes.

'That's why the current king is so lavish.'

Roan steps inside the war with a bitter smile.

At that moment, I felt the heat of the whole body.

The second reason he was surprised to see him in the war.

That's because there were an enormous number of nobles and unscrupulous officers on both sides.

They're all staring at Roan and his group, and their eyes are very fierce and hot.

'You may be wondering what the purpose of your visit is.'

Decades of no interaction with each other.

In this situation, Roan, the deputy of the First Prince and not the king, came to him, so there were many doubts.

"That's the Red Ghost?"

"It's completely different from what I've heard, right?"

"And it's too young."

"Is that really the red spirit that defeated the Estelle Empire army?"

The nobles and the officers were chatting.

However, Roan walked to the front of the throne, not caring at all, and then knelt on one knee.

"I'm here to see King Abed von Persian."

On the throne, the man of the choro sits crooked.

Much older looking face, cloudy eyes, and limp posture compared to age.

It was a look that made the viewer calm down.

That man was Abed, king of the current Persian kingdom.

"You're from the Kingdom of Rhine?"

They're giving it to me for free.

It was not polite.

However, Abed did not value face or manners.

He squeezes his chin with his right hand and asks again and again with a annoying look on his face.

"Why have you come all this way?"

Roan replies on one knee.

"To have a relationship."

"Friendship? Our kingdoms and the Rhine kingdoms are far from each other. And you come here to make friends, not to represent the king, but to represent the First Prince?"

"It's......."

For a while, Roan explained in detail the methods of the protozoan.

In addition, it has been suggested that the two kingdoms, together, can withstand the Byron and Istel kingdoms.

Here, the envoy emphasized the great task of building up the work of First Prince Simon Lines.

Abed, who has been listening for a long time, shakes his hand.

"That's enough. Stop it. You should talk to your replacements about such troublesome matters."

He soon tasted it again and woke up from his seat.

"I'm not letting Reytas off the hook about this……"

After that, Abed considers for a moment and opens his mouth again.

"I will leave this matter to Reytas and Manus. You two take care of it."

Then I took a step out of the battle.

It's very rude to treat diplomatic envoys in one country.

However, Roan did not have much of a reaction.

'I didn't expect much from King Abed anyway.'

Rather, I was worried that the incompetent person would grab my ankle, but I was much more relieved that I let myself go.

However, Reytas' expression was not good enough to take on the task.

"Be with Manus......."

If it had been the same, Reytas would have run all of the great councils in the kingdom.

Abed, the incompetent king and father, was not interested in politics.

It was all Reytas'.

He enjoyed it and was also proud.

'Now even the king has Manus in mind.'

The taste was bitter.

However, it does not cause irritability or discomfort.

'Cause that's what sewers do.'

Reytas takes a deep breath and looks at the nobles and the unscrupulous who have been butchered by the Yankees.

"I have prepared a banquet for everyone."

"Yes, I will."

Everyone bows down and replies.

At first glance, he looks like he's obeying Reytas' orders.

But each one of them fell into a complex thought.

'Should I follow Prince Reytas or Prince Manus?'

Who's taking over the government? '

The nobles of the Persian Kingdom began to weigh the princes like the nobles of the Rhine Kingdom.

This was originally a little faster than Roan had experienced in his last life.

But he didn't know this.

"Baron Tail. I'll escort you to the banquet hall."

"Thank you."

Roan rises from his seat and bows.

'I can naturally meet Prince Manus.'

If the feast is to be held largely, Manus, who is jointly entrusted with the work, will also attend.

But it was a mistake.

At the banquet that was to be held in the future, there was a strange experience, not Manus.

Soon, many people stepped towards the banquet hall, leading Reytas and Roan.

Clay, who was watching quietly, quietly guards his position and heads out of the battle.

'I knew Prince Manus' attitude was unusual. '

He expected things to go unnoticed from the moment he heard Manus had defeated Byron and Istel's alliance and rescued the Persian Empire.

'Power can't be unleashed once it's tasted.'

From Reytas' point of view, I had to share all the power I had with my brother.

No, the whole situation could be taken away.

'Here, when the nobles and powerful men come together on one side of the two princes.......'

Perhaps something worse will happen than the royal succession competition in the Rhine Kingdom.

'Our kingdom is made up of three princes, so we can control each other.......'

The Persian Empire was left to Reytas and Manus alone.

As one man's strength grew, the other man was only eaten.

'The king must first understand the atmosphere of Altus and the city.'

Clay urges you to walk with calm eyes.

Flutter.

Shake your hands lightly.

It seemed like a meaningless gesture.

Food.

Five little birds flew overhead.

They swirl around Clay's head and scatter around.

* * *

The banquet was enormous enough for all the nobles and officers who had gathered in the war to attend.

Roan sits down with Reytas and pours a drink.

Next to him stands Harrison, Brian, and the late Clay.

Across the street is the Duke, the Marquis and the Earl of the Kingdom.

'I can't believe I'm having drinks with foreign princes and nobles.'

Harrison swallowed a dry saliva without even knowing it.

Brian and Clay, on the other hand, are very relaxed.

They wandered around and talked to the young nobles and artisans of the Persian kingdom.

Thanks to this, the drinks were ripe over time.

But there's always someone who ruins a good vibe.

"Hmph! The rumors about the Red Ghosts were all in vain."

A pretty loud voice rang in the banquet hall.

Those who chuckle and brawl look for the protagonist of their voices and turn their heads.

"Heheh. Tastes good!"

Once again, the screamer was a man of enormous means.

Reytas frowns slightly as he sits on his seat and pours a glass.

"Baron Corin. You must have drank too much."

Low tire.

"We're far from drunk!"

Javi Corin, the beggar man, takes another sip and slaps the table.

Boom.

Some merciless nobles shudder in surprise.

"The Estelle captives say that the Red Ghosts truly remind me of the superstition. He said he was waving a spear through the flames like a pawn and playing with hundreds of enemies as if they were children. He also ruled out tactics and strategies that prevented the entire Eastern Empire from attacking, leading to a victory in the war by raiding the military depot."

It was a little exaggerated, but it was all true.

Harvey stares at Roan with his eyes torn.

"That's why I thought Baron Roan Tail, called the Red Ghost, was a great general. But today, it's a full-blown baby fire......."

"Harvey Corin!"

Reytas stops speaking and lets out a sigh.

"Hmmm."

Harvey coughs without finishing his sentence.

But that didn't end the complaint.

He fills his glass and mutters in a small voice.

"That's how rumors spread about the Estellers, because they're so insignificant. Perhaps Prince Manus wasn't so hard to defeat the Estellers after all."

Manus' name came out of nowhere.

"Enough is enough."

Reytas tilts again.

"Yes, yes. All right, I'll keep my mouth shut from now on."

Harvey nods again and quickly empties his glass.

Reytas smiles awkwardly at Roan as he looks at her.

"Baron Tail. Forgive the trend. Harvey Corin was drunk and made a statement......."

When the horse was about that long, a young man who was sitting on one side and pouring a glass stood up.

"Baron Corin! No, Commander Corin! Are you saying this to disparage Prince Manus' work?"

Several young officers confronted him in fear of the end.

"I don't suppose you're referring to the man who repeated the war's early stages?"

"Prince Manus saved the country with disadvantages. You wouldn't dare hear that."

"Commander! Please take back what you just said!"

The atmosphere became rougher in a flash.

Harvey opens his mouth and fills his glass with wine.

"Hahaha! You little bastards! The children you just saw on the battlefield are pointing fingers at the warriors of the Hundred Wars!"

He slaps the table hard.

Boom!

"You've been so arrogant lately!"

Harvey gets up from his seat and stares at the young officers.

And then, along with him, some of the older ministers stood up.

"Yes! Commander Corin, well said. I don't like it when young people don't know what's up and down these days."

"A couple of years in the battlefield at best, sunchicks treating us like old people in the back room?"

"Have you forgotten all the hard work we've been fighting for?"

The atmosphere became more rough.

There was a sharp aura between the old and the young.

However, for some reason, Reytas did not show any intention of mediating.

He closes his eyes and holds an empty glass.

Thoughtful.

In a sense, it was.

But...

'Bird of Harvey Corin. You did good.'

I was smiling in my heart.

Harvey's rudeness was all Reytas' ruse.

'This is how much the forces following Manus are already...'

I made a fuss to count the supporters of Manus among the nobles and the officers.

I thought that using Roan, called the Red Ghost, among the Easter Empire troops would be a natural way to grow things.

'Hmm.'

Reytas sighs briefly.

He slowly opens his eyes and lowers his glass.

"Baron Tail. Looks like all our officers are drunk today. I'll finish the banquet here."

"Yes, I've had enough."

Roan bows slightly.

Then he leads Harrison, Brian and Clay out of the ballroom.

In the meantime,

"It's nothing serious!"

"You're so young!"

The banquet hall was very noisy.

"Hooray!"

After stepping out, Roan takes a deep breath.

He looks back at Harrison, Brian and Clay and asks briefly.

"What do you think?"

"Yes?"

Harrison and Brian tilt their heads, not knowing what they meant.

Only Clay answered with a faint smile.

"That's odd."

"I knew it….."

Roan nods slowly.

He smiles faintly and mutters in a small voice.

"Looks like Prince Reytas is using me as a chess horse."
