I am the Monarch

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

"That's more than I thought."

"Yes. Half of the young nobles and officers support Prince Manus."

"Hmph!"

The protagonist of the cold laugh was Prince Reytas Persian.

He frowned as he received reports from scribes who had been stationed at the banquet hall.

'It's already quite a number for those who send their support openly. Including those who support me in the dark, or even those who cross between me and Manus, that number will increase.'

I felt frustrated.

'I think I've said quite a bit…..'

In fact, he has run an excellent government on behalf of an incompetent king.

The results were not bad either.

It was still a bit lacking compared to the surrounding countries, but I was confident that if I put my strength into it, I would soon be shoulder to shoulder.

'I thought everyone acknowledged me and followed me.'

Suddenly the foundation that Manus thought was solid was shaking as he opened the door.

What's even worse is that Reytas knows why.

'Manus knows how to steal people's hearts.'

It was not a skill.

It was a kind of natural talent and glamour.

I was able to make people around me into my own people without having to do anything or say anything.

It was natural that people would be drawn to Manus as he stepped into politics, whether he intended to or not.

"Baron Tail?"

"Still no contact with Prince Manus."

"Keep an eye out."

Two days after the banquet.

If the objective of Roan's visit is related to Manus, then it was time to show some movement.

"And a watcher for Manus and his men......."

When the horse goes on like that.

Knock, knock, knock.

You heard a knock on the door of the conference room.

"Who are you?"

Baron Bat Innes, one of his closest associates, asks for Reytas.

"Katz."

Baron Katz Hamner was the general steward of Reytas' mansion.

Bath looks back at Reytas.

Reytas nods, and soon the bate speaks aloud.

"Come in."

The conference room door was opened cautiously, scared to the end.

Katz, an elderly man, reaches out his face through the narrow open door.

"Someone from the Bowen Guild is here."

"Boen Guild?"

Reytas frowns.

One of the guards tilts his head.

"The Boen Guild is a Thief Guild, right?"

"Yes, that's right. The biggest guild in the kingdom."

Katz replied with a polite expression.

Reytas looks straight at that cart.

"What brings you to me?"

"I have an important letter for you. The prince wants to confirm the origin and contents of the letter......."

"Hmm."

Reytas spills a low tear.

It was not easy to understand.

The Boen Guild was the largest thief guild in the Persian kingdom.

Of course, the guards and the Imperial Army were blinking and chasing after them.

'We don't know if we're going to mess them up.'

Nevertheless, coming here means that it is quite important.

Reytas nods after a brief thought.

Katz looks at it, lowers his head slightly and hides his appearance.

After a while.

Yuck.

The conference room opened carefully and revealed a normal looking young man.

He steps across the street from Reytas, kneeling on one knee and his head bowing.

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

"You have an important letter?"

The whole point of pulling it out.

Reytas doesn't want to have a long conversation with some lowlife thief.

This was the difference between him and Manus.

I had no idea why it was a problem at all.

"Yes, this letter was conveyed by all three guilds, including the Bowen Guild."

"Three guilds? Who is the sender?"

Reytas frowns and asks.

I'm curious about bates and even the nearest aristocrats.

The young man, who was still bowing on one knee, put his right hand inside his chest.

Chang!

Suddenly, the officers around me pulled out their reflexive swords and put them on his neck.

"I have a letter in my arms."

The young man took out his hands, which he put in his arms very slowly, with a slightly tense expression.

A small and thin envelope sticks out of your fingertips.

"Here you go."

The end of my voice was a little shaky, but I wasn't afraid.

One of the officers grabbed a letter and politely handed it to Reytas.

Reytas looks over the outside of the envelope.

Nothing was written.

Yikes!

When I tore the entrance and took out the letter, I could see the words subtly.

Familiar handwriting.

Reytas read the letter for a long time.

The more I read, the more I smiled.

It was a terrifying smile that I didn't know where.

"Hehe, I see….."

Reytas folds the letter back into the envelope and looks at the young man.

"You have delivered an important letter well. I will reward you handsomely."

"Thank you."

The young man bowed once and left the meeting room with a young nobleman.

I asked with a cautious voice as if a bate was waiting for me.

"What letter?"

Reytas smiles faintly and mutters in a small voice.

"A letter from an old friend."

The smile on my mouth became darker.

"A friend who lives far away."

* * *

"A humble city compared to Mill Castle, but very clean and well-maintained."

"Yes. And I like the look on the saints' faces."

Those who walked the streets of Altus in a dialogue with durundun were Roan, Harrison, Brian and Clay.

After the banquet a few days ago, they were wandering around the city of Altus, the kingdom of the Persians.

It was a posture to learn more than one from a long distance.

In the meantime, of course, Reytas and the prominent nobles were still responding.

"Is Prince Manus still unresponsive, by the way?"

"Yes, I wrote a few times, but I didn't get an answer."

Clay quickly answers Roan's question.

Currently, Roan has sent several letters to have a meeting with Manus.

The first few days did not reach out while looking around, but it was time to meet Manus as the purpose of the visit.

But for some reason, Manus didn't respond.

'That's too bad.'

However, he could not go to Manus without knowing.

It was rude of me, but above all, I was able to attract Reytas' excessive attention when things got too noisy.

'Even so, there were more surveillance.'

Roan notices that people are wandering around or staying around him through Calian tears and the Flemish Mana Act.

'Maybe we should find another way.......'

Roan is deeply troubled by the crowded streets.

Then.

"You wretched Estellers! Die!"

"We are the Valiant Persian Empire!"

"Waaaahhhh!"

Atomic voices hit my ears.

Small boys and girls were gathering to play war in a small vacancy at the end of the street.

They all split into three sides with crude wooden sticks and planks, and repeatedly fell apart.

A young man who looked like a leader raised a wooden stick.

"My name is Manus Persion! Take my sword!"

It looks like the boy played the lead role.

Swinging the stick, the boys standing in front of him collapsed.

The amazing thing was that there was one mature young man among them.

"A grown man playing war with his children....... what an interesting young man."

Brian smiles and mutters.

Harrison and Clay nodded and said it was interesting.

Meanwhile, the young man who was lying on the floor rolled over, grabbing his chest for no reason.

"Ugh!"

Painful moaning.

"Waaaah! Prince Manus has defeated Byron and the Estelle alliance!"

"Hooray! Hooray!"

The boys who followed the commander raised their hands and shouted, "Long live!"

Then, even the boys and girls who had fallen down got up and shouted together.

The young man who was rolling the floor also had fun screaming with the children.

"Hahaha!"

The laughter filled the void.

At that moment, a young man running around like a frogman found Roan's group standing at the entrance to a vacant lot.

After stopping, he steps away from the children and approaches Roan.

Jubbuck, Jubbuck.

I could hear footsteps, even though it was noisy around me.

Roan stood still and looked at the approaching young man's face.

Boom.

I feel like my heart is dropping.

My eyes trembled.

'This young man.......'

I felt a deep tremor in my body.

It was the same for young people.

'This man.......'

He stands in front of Roan and stares quietly into his eyes.

The two of them looked at each other without saying anything.

Then, they smiled at each other as if they had promised.

Roan could tell.

'This is him.'

He lowers his waist slowly.

"It's an honor to meet you."

Bold voice.

"Prince Manus Persion."

Harrison, Brian and Clay, standing in the back, face down, terribly close to the end of the conversation.

Manus?

"That young man is Prince Manus Persian? '

They frown slightly.

Especially that Clay looks even more unbelievable.

Prince Manus wouldn't even know what he looks like. '

It was difficult to understand.

At that time, the young man who was standing still said in a soft voice, bowing his head.

"It's an honor to meet you, Baron Roan Tail."

Young man, he really was Manus Persian.

And he quickly realized who Roan was.

It wasn't because I knew his face.

I could feel it from the moment I saw it, and I could feel it.

Roan and Manus look up at each other again.

"This person......."

Both of them thought the same thing at the same time.

'He is not an ordinary man.'

My mouth went up gently.

Roan and Manus.

The meeting of the two heroes that made the continent fall apart was so sudden.

with strong resonance.

* * *

"Column, let us join forces this time."

"Yes, Tommy. I lost my player to Simon again."

Luxurious reception.

Among them, Tommy and Column were sitting face to face, having a secret conversation.

"Damn, I can't believe you got word of the Persian Empire's war ahead of us."

Tommy gives you an annoying look.

Immediately after Roan left for the Kingdom of Persia, King Mills was informed of the war between the Kingdom of Persion, Byron and the Kingdom of Istel.

The appearance of a superhero named Manus Persion has left the Rhine kingdom in an uproar.

Naturally, stories of friendship with the Persian Empire have erupted from the mouths of many of them.

I thought the column was an opportunity.

You try to use Reytas, your best friend, to build a big ball.

But then Simon stepped forward.

He revealed that he had already dispatched Roan to the Persian kingdom in a calm and confident manner.

"Whew, a quick man."

The column sighed for a short time.

"Thanks to you, we've been marked as the only ones incapable again."

Tommy's face is even more distorted.

But I soon smiled at the column.

"But this time, thanks to you, things are going well."

"I didn't think you'd get Reytas' help like this."

The column mutters a small, clasped hand to the chin.

He realizes he's a step behind Simon and quickly shakes hands with Tommy.

Because if Simon takes it away from me, that gap in the succession competition will be too great.

Column sent a letter to Reytas using the Thief Guild under Tommy's influence.

"I wrote down all the details about Harrison, Brian and Clay going together."

"That's right. We shouldn't make fun of them. Especially that Clay guy."

"Yes. Reytas never thought the Druid would show up again."

The fact that Clay was a Druid was also widely known around Mill.

Because he claimed to be the Druid himself when he destroyed the Janice Informants.

"He must have leaked all our intel."

"That's why we've come to this conclusion."

The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

There was a small pebble shining from all around the reception hall.

Tommy and Column soon picked up a glass.

"Well, let's wait for the good news."

Tommy says the column nods.

If this goes well, Simon's power will plummet.

"That must be pretty sad news for Simon."

The column shifts the cup with a swollen smile.

Tsk.

Glasses and glasses clash and a clear sound resonates.

Tommy and Column tilted their glasses but did not take their eyes off each other.

They were thinking the same thing.

'Simon, you're next.'

'Simon, it's your turn next.'

* * *

Roan and Manus were strongly attracted to each other from the first encounter.

The two of them wanted to move and talk right away, but Manus suddenly got a call from the royal palace and had no choice but to:

"I'll be sure to invite them."

Turns out Manus hasn't been able to confirm the invitation that Ronan sent him.

Since the king returned to the castle of Altus, there has been little time in the mansion.

Ronan smiles faintly as he looks at Manus leaving for the palace.

"You're a much better man than I expected."

Harrison nods beside the horse.

"Yes. I didn't know you were hanging out with civilian children as a prince."

"And the children of the soldiers who died in this war..."

Brian looks strangely back at you.

Manus was a completely different person from the royal family he knew.

'Nameless soldiers who had to die by their own command. Manus bows for them.'

Roan takes a deep breath.

The stabbing chest calmed down.

Manus bowed his head to those who lost their fathers, husbands, brothers, brothers and sisters during the war.

I didn't care if they were royalty or nobles or peasants or slaves.

They were another family to him.

"If Manus survives and exerts his power..."

The Persian Empire will rise to the top of the northeast continent.

"By the way......."

Roan turns his head and looks at Clay.

"What's wrong with sudden royal calls?"

Moreover, you notice a large turbulence in the crowd watching you and your group.

Clay nods, closing in on Roan.

"Yes, I don't feel well. Above all….."

He was the hind horse with a small voice.

Somewhat serious expression.

"All the birds are dead."
