I am the Monarch
< Chapter 28 Armor to Fight >
------------------------------------
History was a perfectly crafted version of the process and the results.
What seemed to be meaningless after not knowing it at the time was often the cause or the beginning of something enormous.
When things that seem meaningless are piled up and piled up, they become history.
'History is so much bigger and heavier than I thought.'
Roan sighs for a moment.
He wanted to shake the board of perfectly crafted history.
No, to be precise, I wanted to turn the tide of history.
'Prince Reytas should not be king of Persion like last time.'
So I tried to save Manus Persian.
'Prince Manus does not have to be the next great king. But at least he's alive.......'
When I thought about it.
"You didn't even listen?"
Harrison and Brian look a little surprised.
Roan nods instead of answering.
Clay, on the other hand, was quite calm.
"To what degree do you trust Prince Reytas...?"
Bold voice.
"Prince Manus himself is aware of the complications between himself and Prince Reytas."
"That's what I thought….."
With a bitter smile, Roan sighs for a moment.
The atmosphere became heavy.
Clay, who was silent, opens his mouth a little curiously.
"My lord, I tell you, given the circumstances, there's actually been one question since I first heard about this."
Roan glances at Clay as if to ask.
Clay smiles faintly and speaks in hindsight.
"If the number of perspective workers is all, now is enough. Even though the Persian king is incompetent and Prince Reytas is close to Prince Colum, we are the ones who have reconnected the disconnected diplomacy. Everyone will recognize that ball."
It was true.
The incompetent King of Persian empire emphasized that the relationship between the two countries should be established. The invasion of Byron and Istel has threatened the royal family as well as many nobles.
Like Clay said, it was a big win for you to come home now.
"You don't have to pay this much attention to Prince Manus, who is a foreign prince. And now Prince Reytas is after the Lord himself. I'm sorry about Prince Manus, but what's more important for us is the Lord's comfort. We'd better get out of here and go home."
Harrison and Brian nod.
According to Clay's intel, Reytas was going to ask Roan to speak at the Academy.
Of course it was a trap.
'Plus…'
Loan's interest in Manus was overwhelming.
Because his abilities were deprived?
So it's a foreign prince after all.
From the standpoint of the Kingdom of Rhine, he had no idea when he would turn into an enemy.
Clay continues.
"Prince Simon will be pleased with this. If Prince Manus comes out so rough, we'll be on our way. If we delay any longer, Prince Reytas may be on our side."
At that, Roan shakes his head slowly.
"No, we have to save him."
A bold but firm tone.
Clay frowns slightly and cautiously asks.
"Do you have any other intentions?"
"It's......."
Roan looks at Clay, Harrison and Brian alternately and says in a small voice.
"I'll tell you later. Now is not the time."
"Hmm."
Clay spills a low saliva.
Harrison and Brian, on the other hand, slowly nod and no longer pay attention.
Roan sighs deeply, looking at them.
'I can't just tell you what the future holds…..'
The sulphite grip flashes.
"Once Prince Reytas ascends to the throne, then Prince Column's turn. '
The decisive reason why the Three Princes, Colum Lines, had been able to rise above the two brothers.
It was because of Reytas' help.
Reytas was on the throne ahead of the columns and supported and supported the friendly columns.
'I didn't realize it in my last life, but now I see.......'
It was a very well-weaved plate.
When Reytas became king of the Persians, Column used the number of far-sighters.
No, it was closer to the male military alliance.
Column and Reytas attacked Byron Kingdom from the south and west and captured dozens of castles.
What a major.
Duke Francis Wilson of the Neutral Clan joined Prince Column's camp after he won the war against Byron. '
For generations, Duke Wilson has had great hostility towards Byron.
Especially in Francis' case, his hostility was particularly distinctive because his father was killed in the war against Byron.
'I have to tell you, Prince Column looks beautiful.'
Eventually, the balance of the Four Kingdoms was broken, and the succession competition leaned toward the column.
'Suddenly Prince Tommy died there, and as King Reytas Persian triumphed, the throne eventually became Prince Colum's.'
And Simon became a lord of fanatics.
'And now that I see Prince Reytas and Prince Manus...'
I felt that Reytas and Column were deeply involved in the death of Manus and Tommy in the last life.
Manus' death, Reytas' immediacy, Column's Elixir, Tommy's death, Column's immediacy.
And...
An era of war.
It seemed unrelated, like there was actually an event in Roan's past life that he hadn't noticed.
It was really a very well-weaved plate.
And it became history.
'If Prince Column becomes the next great king, I'm stuck.'
There was no reason to let Simon's best friend live.
No, he was already trying to kill himself.
'We must save Prince Manus.'
Manus' death was the beginning of everything.
I was going to stop it.
I was going to overturn history in my last life.
'And.......'
Roan's eyes subside calmly.
There was one more reason for him to save Manus.
"If I am to remain Prince Simon's vessel, I may not need Prince Manus. We can fend off Prince Column like we do now. But to become a monarch....... '
I needed Manus.
Roan's dream is a monarch of a nation.
'If this is the case, we need to build a foundation around Tail territory.'
After all, if you build a country, you will have to conflict with the Rhine Kingdom.
Whether it's the right procedure, whether it's reverse, whether it's Simon, whether it's Tommy, whether it's Column.
For Roan, the Kingdom of the Rhine was a wall that must one day be overcome.
"Once a country is established, all surrounding countries will be thoroughly hostile. '
In the unlikely event that this happens, there will be a limit to finding a helper within the Rhine Kingdom.
Not to mention the Eastern Kingdom and Byron Kingdom.
When it came to the country versus the country, and the monarch versus the monarch, we needed proper soldiers.
To Roan, Manus was a potential accomplice.
'The person who is the least available to me now.'
Everything was a siege for the future.
A stone for the future of the monarch.
Of course, I didn't expect things to go this far.
It was a real crisis.
But if you think about it, this was another great opportunity.
'If we can reverse this, Prince Manus will be the next king of the Persian kingdom.'
After organizing my thoughts, I made a stronger decision.
'We must save Prince Manus.'
You hear Clay's voice.
"If that's how you want to save Prince Manus, you must hurry. Looks like Prince Reytas is almost ready."
"Hmm."
Roan nods with a low depression.
"We have to meet again."
"You got kicked out like that and now you want to come back?"
Harrison frowns slightly.
Ronan was more important to him than Manus.
Roan stands up smiling faintly.
"Face down is not important in saving lives."
"But Lord......."
Harrison and Brian call out to Roan with a stiff expression.
Roan nods as if he's okay, then looks at Clay.
"Clay, take a closer look at Prince Reytas' company."
"Yes, I understand."
Clay bows lightly.
Roan soon walked out of the office.
As the situation was, it was to visit Manus again.
It was just when he came out of his place.
"Huh?"
Roan's eyes widen.
I saw a familiar face outside the entrance.
"Prince Manus......."
The young man standing in the dark was Prince Manus Persian.
Roan nods in haste.
Manus slowly approaches, looking at Roan with a mischievous look on his face and lowers his head.
"I'm sorry about what happened this morning."
A voice that sank low.
He lets out a deep breath as if determined to do something, then speaks in a small voice.
"Let's hear the story of the Baron Tail….."
*
'I wish I was stupid.'
Manus had thought of that since he was a boy.
He cursed his superior abilities.
The reason was simple.
'Brother Reytas is getting away from me.'
As a royal, it was also the crown prince, who recognized that his great power would be the seed of chaos.
Something that has nothing to do with his will.
'If I show great ability, there will surely be people who follow me.'
When people are gathered, power is made, and when power is made, terrible things will happen that have nothing to do with Manus' will.
Same with Reytas.
Eventually, a situation occurred in which the brothers who loved and cared about each other pointed their swords at each other.
'I lived a life of reading and traveling to avoid such situations.'
I didn't reveal my abilities.
I was not interested in politics or power.
I just wanted to support my brother Reytas and live a reckless life.
But when the Byron and Estelle kingdoms invaded, the dream was shattered.
'I couldn't just watch the country go to hell to hide my abilities.'
Ultimately, Manus led an army by himself, putting aside the nobles who had always insisted on surrendering.
Across the west and south, you defeated the invaders completely.
I saved the country as I wanted.
But it gave me a reputation I didn't want, a man I had, and a power.
And...
'I lost my brother like I was worried.'
I tried to restore my relationship.
I ignored all the offerings and pledges of the nobles and the officers.
The festival or banquet only left with a face.
Instead, I wandered around the city and mingled with the commoners.
Although fateful attraction has made you friendly with Roan, you have avoided anything his brother Reytas might be wary of.
'Of course, I knew that I would never get to know my brother again.'
He was also aware that his brother Reytas had become more restrained.
But that did not mean that I had just anticipated the situation that Roan had mentioned.
"No, that's ridiculous."
Manus' voice trembles.
My head went crazy.
Roan looks at Manus' pale face and speaks in a calm voice.
"You may not believe it, but it's all true."
"Hmm."
Manus closes his eyes with his right hand on his forehead.
He mutters in a low voice.
"I know you're wary of me. But that's about it. We just drifted apart. Never, never my brother......."
Manus looks at Roan with his closed eyes.
"You can't kill me."
I spit it out, but my heart was wide open.
Circumstances I'm not sure of myself.
Roan sighs for a moment.
"Prince Manus, listen carefully. Prince Reytas will call you as soon as it's sunny tomorrow. And now that monsters are raiding villages in the Northeast, you will ask them to go to the Punitive Force commander."
"Punitive Force Commander?"
"Yes, I'm asking you to take command of the northeastern provinces. And......."
Roan's story has been going on for a long time.
But Manus keeps shaking his head.
"I still can't believe it."
It was kind of rebellious and hostile.
No, it was hopeless to want to believe that.
"Ah! Did the evil nobles around Reytas inspire you? Yeah, I think so. They must have blindfolded him and blindfolded him."
Futile hope paralyzes reason.
'It was so deep for you.'
Roan sighs a short sigh with a sad look on his face.
"Okay, here's what I'm going to do."
He lays out a new plan to persuade Manus.
Manus nods nervously, hearing all the stories.
"Very well. Let's do as Baron Tail says."
"Thank you."
After a long conversation, Roan lets out a sigh of relief for his accomplishments.
When all the stories were over, Manus stood up.
"Hmm."
He falters, momentarily unbalanced.
It was that traumatic.
"Are you all right?"
Roan quickly raises Manus.
Manus taps the back of Roan's hand, holding his arm.
"Baron Tail."
"Yes, my prince."
As Roan answers, Manus mutters in a quiet voice.
"I hope our plans don't go to waste tomorrow. No, I don't want Reytas' page tomorrow. No......."
A grim look.
"I don't want to come tomorrow."
Roan is speechless.
I'm just standing there supporting Manus.
So the two of them stared at the passing of their breath.
*
"Is that true?"
Reytas looks a little surprised.
Baron Bat Ings smiles brightly and nods his head.
"Yes, Baron Tail said he would rather join Prince Manus in monster defeat than speak at the Academy."
"Hmm."
Reytas nods with a strange look.
Things were flowing in unexpected directions.
'It was hard to ask Roan Tail, a foreign diplomatic envoy, to participate in the subjugation, so I asked him to speak at the Academy.......'
Reytas asked Manus to give a special address to Ronan at the Disto Academy, while asking for the commander of the Northeast Provincial Guard.
The Discover Academy was the best academy in the Persian kingdom, about half a day northeast of Altus Castle.
It was not easy to access because it was located in the mountains to advance the academy students.
'After I took care of Roan Tail and Manus separately, I tried to tie them together and disguise them as assassinations.......'
Instead of a special lecture, Roan chose to participate in the Punitive Battle to make things easier for me.
Reytas nods, smiling faintly.
"Good. Send me good words and armor and say thank you." "
"Yes, I understand."
Beith smiles coldly and leaves the Oval Office.
Reytas watches the sunlight pour out of the window.
"What a nice winter sun."
A little excited about where you are.
I had a slightly darker smile on my mouth.
"Is the blurry throne a little clearer......."
My heart was racing.
I feel like the huge wall that was blocking my eyes is gone.
"Manus, forgive this brother."
I decided to kill him. I made a plan to kill him.
And today we execute that plan.
I deliberately decided to be fierce, but I had no choice but to let the corners of my heart ring.
But I didn't intend to stop.
Reytas can't take his eyes off the spilling sun.
There was not a single cloud in the sky that spread out the window.
He remains motionless.
I just waited for the good news to arrive.
That's how time went on and on.
The sun in the east slopes to the west.
But the window to the south still had sunlight pouring in.
Then.
Knock, knock. Knock.
With the sound of knocking on the door of the Oval Office, Baye appeared.
A slightly reminded face.
He hesitates and opens his mouth carefully.
"I've received word that things have gone well. Do you want to leave now?"
The news I've been waiting for.
But Reytas hasn't answered for a while.
He was still watching the winter sunlight pour out in a tumultuous glare.
"My prince, should I just ask him to bring me a body?"
The bate carefully asked again.
Then Reytas shakes his head, smiling faintly.
"No. We stick to the plan. I'm leaving now."
"Yes. I'll prepare the horses."
The bate looks down and leaves the office.
Remaining alone, Reytas slowly rises from his seat.
The gaze still stayed in the sun.
He whispers in a small voice.
"But I'm glad it's not too cold to leave."
Reytas takes a deep breath and slowly moves on.
One step, one step.
Every time I moved, my face was full of smiles.
'It is already a step.'
You made your choice.
The consequences and responsibilities of choice are on you.
'You can't stop now or go back.'
I wouldn't have even started if I had that kind of mind in the first place.
I can walk faster.
I left the office and walked to the front door of the mansion without hesitation.
It's like I'm never going to stop.
Reytas clenches his fist.
'I will be king of Persia.'
The kindness of the flesh in front of the throne is trivial.
He was already blinded by power.
