I am the Monarch

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

The northern wind blows.

The heavy silence settles where there has just been a fierce battle.

You hear no more screaming or screaming.

Most of the knights who followed Prince Reytas Persian died in battle and some were captivated.

Reytas, who fought with Roan, knelt on his knees with his eyes closed.

Perfect defeat.

Perhaps less than Manus, but Reytas, who was famed for his talents, was defeated in the battle against Roan.

It also meant that he was not as good at Roan as he was at losing his composure.

"Sa, sa, save me!"

The heavy silence is broken.

The one screaming loudly was Baron Bat Inns, who had become Reytas' best friend.

He knelt on his knees and shouted with a desperate expression.

"I just did what I was told! Please spare me! If you spare me, I will devote myself to this one body!"

A rash gesture.

Manus raises his left hand slightly without giving you a single glance.

Immediately, a young irrelevant approached and struck Beith on the neck.

"Ugh."

The noisy bate collapses unconscious.

Thanks to you, the heavy silence settles once again.

How long has it been?

"How long are you going to keep this up?"

It was Reytas who broke the silence this time.

Although he was on his knees, he didn't look so excited or nervous at all.

Rather, I was relaxed without knowing where I was.

It feels like the thread that was pulling tightly is loose.

Manus, who stands at the top of the crowd, comes one step forward.

"Reytas. It's all over now......."

When the horse goes on like that.

"Kill."

Reytas speaks in a calm voice.

He slowly opens his closed eyes and looks at Manus' face.

"Manus. The nobles who followed me will seek the next opportunity if I am alive." Kill me. That is the way of victory and the destiny of defeat. "

Reytas knew his power well.

But Manus was different.

"I'm not like you."

Everyone's gaze was on Manus.

Among them was Roan.

'Did you come all the way here to be weak?'

Although Roan was the most important person in the world, he also appeared as cruel and cold as war.

Manus and Reytas.

This fight over the throne was more violent than any other war.

If I was weakened here and could not finish, I could leave a big aftermath.

However, unlike Roan's concerns, Manus' expression was very firm and powerful.

I feel self-determined.

He looks into Reytas' eyes.

"I'm not going to kill you. Survive, see, hear, feel. A real monarch."

It was kind of a declaration.

A very strong and convincing declaration.

"Hahahahahaha!"

Suddenly, Reytas bursts into laughter.

After a long smile, he shakes his head with a cool, cool expression.

"Manus, you don't know power. Once again, if I was alive, the ear that followed me......."

Then.

"I......."

Manus hangs up.

My eyes burned hot.

"Even the nobles supporting my brother will give me the title and rank I deserve if I lose my abilities and have a strong personality."

He clenched two fists.

"On Manus' side, not Reytas' side, but Persians' side."

I felt strong in my voice.

"We will be one under the name Persian."

Reytas shakes his head, terrified to the end.

"Idiot."

Too idealistic.

Everything else was too ignorant for politics and power.

He kicks the tip of his tongue and looks Manus straight in the eye.

"Fine. If that's what you mean, then I'll stay alive and watch your every move." "

Hard face.

"The day will surely come when you will regret it."

Manus shakes his head, returning the same words.

"There will come a day that you will regret. Not me, brother."

The fight is over.

Reytas, who was obsessed with power, was defeated, and Manus, who had no interest at all, became dominant in the realm.

Something unexpected.

It was Roan, no matter what, who had the biggest impact on what happened.

'I thought it was okay to be alive.......'

Roan smiles bitterly.

He thought Manus would succeed if he could just play a role in keeping Reytas out of harm's way.

But...

'You have become the only heir.'

Moreover, Manus was greatly favored by himself.

With Manus' personality, he could not have been overcome.

'I received a gift bigger than I thought.'

Support and friendship of the heir to the throne.

There's never been a better gift.

But surprisingly, this was not the end of the gift.

Manus was much more compassionate than Roan thought.

*

The king of the Persian kingdom also turned Altus Castle upside down.

It has been reported that First Prince Reytas failed to assassinate Second Prince Manus.

Manus smuggled surviving knights, including Reytas and Bates, to the royal highway and arrested everyone involved in the assassination.

In this process, the role of the chattering heparin bate was very big.

He revealed each and every one of his accomplices and participants in order to survive.

It just happened so fast.

As the situation progresses urgently, all the neutral nobles who were watching Reytas' attention left behind in support of Manus.

And so Manus took control of his political office in an instant.

"Reytas decided to send a message to Tello Island."

Manus shakes his head, grinning bitterly.

Roan nods slowly.

Tello Island is an island in the Norton Sea north of the Persian Empire, a very remote and small island.

The king was far away from Altus and very difficult to reach.

'That's a relief.'

Roan sighs deeply.

I was worried that I wouldn't leave the king around to watch.

"Thank you for saving my life. I will never forget this grace."

Manus bows.

It wouldn't be nonsense.

He handed you an item the size of a palm wrapped in silk.

"What is this?"

Ronan asks, but Manus only laughs.

Roan carefully unscrews the silk.

Immediately, various symbols and carved metal boards appeared.

"Our kingdom of Persion produces a metal plate called Ates when the prince is born. It's kind of like an ID card. That's Reytas' brother, Artes."

"Why is something so important to me......?"

Roan glances at Athens and asks.

Manus smiles faintly and replies.

"I'll do anything you ask for with Artes."

"Ah......."

Roan bursts a low elasticity.

A metal plate with only one palm, Athes.

It was a great gift from Manus to Roan.

"Do you know what kind of favor I'm asking you to do and give me such a big gift?"

Roan smiles faintly and asks.

Manus spoke boldly and decisively.

"I don't care what you ask. If it wasn't for Baron Tail, I'd be dead already."

Hot Crystal.

Ronan glanced at Manus like that, wrapped Athens in silk and put it in his arms.

"Thank you."

Manus shakes his hands, lowering his head deeply.

"No, it's not enough. Plus….."

He stands up, a little blurred at the end.

"We have to repay Harrison and Brian and Clay. So......."

Manus smiles brightly and looks at Roan.

"I was thinking about what to do in return, and I came up with a great way."

"What the……?"

Roan stands up late and asks.

Manus takes a step toward the entrance and replies.

"Our kingdom of Persion has won the war against Byron and the Estelle alliance. You've won an incredible amount of prisoners and loot."

Roan follows behind, nodding without a word.

Queek.

The door to the reception hall was opened.

Harrison, Brian and Clay, walking around the corridor, quickly bows their heads.

Manus looked at him and spoke in hindsight.

"All the prisoners have been returned, but the loot is not. He built a big warehouse in Altus Castle and kept it all there."

He looks back at Roan.

"I will open the warehouse to Baron Tail, Harrison, Brian and Clay. Pick something you like."

"Ah......."

Roan once again shed a low elasticity.

Artes was a big and valuable gift.

I never expected to open the loot warehouse, not just to myself, but to Harrison, Brian, and Clay.

Roan bows slightly.

"Thank you very much."

At that, Manus looks a little mean.

"Don't be so mean. Is my life not worth that much?"

"That's......."

Roan looks a little embarrassed.

However, I shook my head, smiling brightly.

"Of course not."

"Well, please accept my gift with joy."

Manus bows his head and looks back at Harrison, Brian and Clay.

Three people who didn't know what was in English were just terrified of their eyes.

Manus claps his hands loudly.

Pair!

"Well, shall we?"

In response, Roan, Manus, Harrison, Brian and Clay take a diligent walk out of the corridor.

A huge building appeared soon after riding a wagon outside the mansion to the outskirts of Altus Castle.

"Oh!"

"I've never seen such a big building......."

"That's impressive."

Harrison, Brian and Clay burst into resilience, looking out the wagon window.

Manus smiled and said in a cheerful voice.

"That's the loot warehouse."

*

"This is too much for me."

Harrison looks bored.

He sticks his tongue out to see the huge amount of loot piled up in the warehouse.

I tried to look around slowly and pick out what I liked, but it seemed like it would only take a few days to watch.

Manus looks at him, smiling faintly and opens his mouth.

"That's because I've collected everything I could find. I put all the things I thought were valuable in the classification process aside."

"Oh, really?"

Harrison scratches his head with a shy smile.

Manus walks ahead and heads into the warehouse.

After that, Harrison, Brian and Clay follow.

On the other hand, Roan stood in the middle of a room full of various things and slowly turned around in a circle.

'Most of them are worthless.'

He was now using Kalian's tears to get a lot of visual information at once.

Even if I didn't have to go and check, I was able to figure out exactly what the organized items were.

'Nothing is particularly noticeable….. huh?'

As Roan took his eyes off the road, he stopped and looked at one corner.

'That's ……'

He moves as if he was possessed by something.

A big, small, old, and clean bookshelf.

Roan picked up a noteworthy book.

< The Basis Mana Act. >

Books of very thin thickness were Manamaic manuscripts.

'Basic Mana Law representing Byron Kingdom.'

Basics of learning when you enter the Academy of Knights in the Byron Kingdom were Basis Mana.

Generally, there was a German Manat law for each of the nobles, so they did not need to learn such basic Manat laws, but the children of the extended family who were not Gatekeepers or nobles needed a basic Manat law to firmly strengthen the foundations.

Because of this, the Kingdom of Rhine had the Bahrain Mana Act, and the Kingdom of Istel had the Dathio Mana Act.

However, it is the word Mana. The fundamental Mana law allowed us to assess Manahole and to move Mana through Manarod.

The most important Mana accumulation was impossible.

Nevertheless, Manat law was Manat law, so it must have been difficult for students of the academy or nobles to access it carelessly.

'There's the Dathio Mana Act.'

Roan also picked up the basics of the Eastern Kingdom of Manat, which was located next to the Basics of the Basics Manat Act.

'This will make the British soldiers feel what Mana is.'

Now, one of the biggest problems with the Baron Tail was the absence of knights.

No, it wasn't the Knights. It wasn't the Knights themselves.

'One Brian, to be exact.'

However, it was not possible to exert such a powerful force at the same time.

The Basis Mana Act and the Dathio Mana Act could serve as breakthroughs to solve this problem.

Of course, there was a problem.

"May I train soldiers in the fundamental Mana method of another country?" '

Nevertheless, it was not possible to use the Bahrain Mana method of the Rhine Kingdom.

'The basic Mana law of the kingdom can only be learned by Academy students and nobles.'

As soon as Roan teaches Barthrain Manah to the soldiers, the nobles around him will rise like bees.

"Shall we take care of it? '

There was no guarantee that they could take it, and it was a fundamental Mana law among the fundamentals that could not be accumulated, but it was much better than nothing.

"But do I get to pick two? '

Roan walks away smiling awkwardly.

Once inside the warehouse, you see Harrison, Brian and Clay.

Looks like they found something they liked, too.

Harrison holds a bow that seems to be strong and very resilient.

"I've never seen a bow before. I'm going to compare that to what I have."

Roan nods without a word.

Harrison wasn't just a good archer.

He was researching multiple bows to make them a little stronger.

'A bow from another kingdom....... It will definitely help research.'

Roan looks back at Brian.

He was wearing heavy armor that looked hard enough to see.

"It's not what I usually wear. If we study it slowly, it will be very helpful to our territory."

At that, Roan nods quietly.

Brian always said something unfortunate.

The Tail Force centered on Amaranth troops is clearly powerful but too light and agile.

He desperately wanted to create an infantry with heavy armor.

'The current heavy armor is too much for ordinary infantry soldiers to wear. Brian would take care of that.'

Roan looks back at Clay.

Unlike the others, he holds a large gemstone.

"There was nothing I needed. I'll sell this to help finance the territory."

It was a very clandestine choice and judgment.

Roan nods quietly.

Then.

"Looks like Baron Tail's already picked something out."

Manus smiles brightly and approaches.

Roan smiles shyly and replies.

"I picked up two things without pity."

"Hmmm. The Basis Mana and the Dathio Mana Law....... are you okay with that?"

Manus asked with a worried expression.

The Basis Mana Act and the Dathio Mana Act were also stacked in loot warehouses.

Something that's not worth that much.

However, there was nothing more valuable to Roan.

"That's enough for me."

"Mmm-hmm. Yeah. If Baron Tail's will is what it is, there's nothing we can do. But I'll give you both."

"Thank you."

Roan bows.

Manus shakes his head.

"I'm glad you all got what you wanted."

I meant it.

He was delighted that he had repaid his kindness like this.

Ronan, Manus, Harrison, Brian and Clay smiled at each other for a while.

They became so much stronger and closer together.

*

After returning home, Roan and Harrison, Brian and Clay sat in the reception room and talked.

"My lord, then why did you choose the basic laws of foreign countries?"

Brian, who was drinking his tea, asks curiously.

Roan smiled faintly, looking at the two basic manuscripts placed on one side of the table.

"I was wondering if I could teach the soldiers in the Territory."

"Foreign laws?"

Brian looks a little surprised.

Then Clay said in a quiet voice.

"The fundamental laws of the Rhine Kingdom can only be learned by Academy students and nobles."

He turns his head to look at Roan.

"But the basic Mana method is a half-Manat method that doesn't accumulate Mana. And anyway, it's foreign Manat, so we can't play it out."

"Yes, I know. I took care of it just in case. If we study the two mana methodologies, there may be a breakthrough."

Harrison and Clay nod quietly.

Brian lowers his cup of tea and carefully asks.

"May I take a look?"

Roan nods slowly.

Brian slowly read the two fundamental manuscripts once his permission had been given.

After a moment, he mutters with a blatant look of nothing.

"This should be useful with a little touch."

Brian looks up at Roan.

"At first it seems like the two laws are different, but they are fundamental to the basics, so they are very similar to the core of performance. Mix it up here with the Bahrain Mana Law of our kingdom and sum up the number of Mana laws that I know......."

The sound of words gradually subsides and becomes a soliloquy.

I was deeply immersed in the book exploration while mumbling.

Since I was a child, Brian had mastered all sorts of different mannas, so the core of the manna was clearly seen.

But most of all,

'Then I forgot for a moment.'

He gives a big smile as he looks at Brian, who is concentrating terribly.

"Brian Miles. What a genius you were....... '
