I am the Monarch

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

"Huff! Huff! Huff! Huff!"

A rough breath touched the balance of the horse.

Baron Cali Orwells couldn't even look back.

I just kept kicking him.

Then.

Pa!

With a heavy voice, a firm, thick rope bounces up.

The front leg of the horse that was running short of breath was caught in the rope.

Heeheeheeheeheehee!

A horse that loses its balance and becomes roughly circular.

"Huff!"

Cali is a little overwhelmed by the sudden situation, but quickly jumps into the air.

Chang!

A sword that can be pulled out of the ground in a balance.

I couldn't afford to look at the condition of the horse.

An ambush? '

I was sweating cold.

At that moment, you hear a low, gloomy voice behind you.

"You look good."

Cali's face suddenly distorted.

It was a familiar voice.

The voice of the one I wanted to find just now.

"Walter."

Cali grits her teeth and turns to hear her voice.

A young man approached from the end of a tightly tied rope.

As expected, the young man was Walter Orwells.

"It's better to see them run away in terror than to look haughty and arrogant."

Cold voice.

Cali screams with a stiff expression.

"Walter! Do you have any idea what you've done?!"

Walter nods slowly and draws his sword from his waist.

"Of course. I'm just dealing with an enemy commander."

"Enemy commander?"

Cali frowns.

He froze with a cold voice.

"I am your father!"

"Father? Hmm."

Walter snorted with a stiff face.

Callie's face is still distorted.

"Are you going to put a knife to the flesh? You want to kill your family? What for? You and Io Lancefield are two men without a drop of blood. Are you willing to slaughter his family for him? Or is it because of Roan? Why are you doing this?"

The voice of anger and desperation.

He is extremely nervous about the chase coming over the hill.

Walter had a cold smile on his mouth.

"Family? Blood? I don't think the man who killed my wife and daughter has anything to say about it."

"Kill? What do I mean by killing my wife and daughter....... Are you talking about the Aslan Bandit case?"

The Aslan Bandit Incident.

The Aslan Bandits were a large bandit who boasted a powerful force at home in the Aslan Valley before being subjugated by Io.

They didn't have enough to raid the merchants and pedestrians traveling through the valley, so they plundered the villages nearby.

I tried to subdue them several times, but it wasn't easy because their strongholds are located in the roughest parts of Aslan Valley.

Then a ridiculous incident happened.

"The Aslan Bandit Incident. You haven't forgotten. Exactly 10 years ago, my mother and sister, who were out on the street, were captivated by the Aslan Bandits."

That was the case with the Aslan Bandits.

"Hnng."

Cali grimaces at the tip of her nose with an uncomfortable tone.

Walter was indifferent.

"They said they would release my mother and sister for ransom. But my father refused."

"The nobles of the realm surrender to bandits? You can't do that."

Cali gives you a bold answer.

Walter snores.

"Hmph. If you can't afford a Bandit, you should have a rescue mission." "

The voice grew louder.

"But my father did nothing. He didn't pay the ransom. He didn't have a unit."

"Well, that's..."

Kali stammers a little embarrassed.

Walter's face became colder.

"My father was busy flattering the Duke of Bradley Webster who visited Faver Castle that day."

"Hnng."

Cali swallows her dip once again in an uncomfortable tone.

It was true.

On the day his wife and daughter were abducted, Cali was flattering herself in every way to get to higher ground.

One of the four ducs of the kingdom, Bradley Webster, I've always wanted to see.

Walter's eyes tremble.

"While my father was drinking with Duke Webster, my mother and sister suffered all kinds of terrible things and died alone."

Rage rises.

He was also very unusual in Cali's behavior at the time.

If it were known that his wife and daughter had been kidnapped, he would have thoroughly withheld the fact that the banquet was cancelled.

Thanks to this, I had to be deputy commander of the Knights without being promoted for a long time after it was revealed to Earl Iolansfil.

'A man who abandons his family for his own ambition.......'

That was Cali.

Cali glances at Walter's cool gaze.

I was about to start making excuses.

"Walter, I only made the best choice for our family. I also loved my wife and daughter. But I have you......."

Soon after, Walter grips his teeth with his sword.

"I know. Why did my father abandon my mother and sister so easily......."

It's all there.

"Because I was there. Even if my mother and sister died, I would have made such a cruel choice because I was the right person to lead the family. But the reason for that choice is….."

Walter's eyes glowed sadly.

"It made me very painful."

Surely there was nothing wrong with him.

However, as he got older, he felt the death of his mother and sister was his fault.

Earl Iolansfield was the one who made his will.

I had to be willing.

When Iow heard later that Walter's mother and sister had been abducted, he led the army of knights, sorcerers and territories on a raid and subdued the Aslan Bandits at the end of a full-time battle.

Although late, it was a very different look from Cali, who pretended not to know about her family's abduction for her ambition.

"Father, when you abandoned your family blind to ambition, it was Io Lansfield who cared for me and took care of me at that time."

Io had always loved Walter's talent.

He took care of Walter with his heart, who was greatly shocked.

Thanks to you, Walter was able to regain his strength sooner than expected.

Nevertheless, I was not confident to live face to face with Cali.

He left his infernal home and asked for heartache while doing math at Faver Academy.

It was then that I met Mary Tate, my current fiancée, and thanks to her, I was able to meet Roan.

It was a funny fate and fate.

"People like my father fit in at the bottom. The higher you go, the more painful you make people."

The tip of the sword shivers slightly.

It was much more painful and painful for me to point my sword at my father even though I had a harsh mind.

Cali didn't miss that.

"I knew you'd be upset….."

I didn't like it that much, and I wanted to fix it somehow.

But I can't believe that personality is helping me now.

"Whew."

Cali takes a short breath and looks Walter straight in the eye.

"Are you really going to stop me?"

Walter shakes his head.

"No."

"Hmm?"

Cali frowns at an unexpected answer.

Walter was a voice that sank coldly in the background.

"I'm going to kill you."

Cali's face hardens for a moment.

"You worthless bastard."

A cold voice popped out.

'I can't wait any longer.'

I was in a hurry.

Maybe the chasers are already at large.

He gives strength to the grip of the sword.

"Don't blame your father."

Finally, Cali made her decision.

'It's a child. You can have another.'

He was still young.

I thought it was enough to have another child.

But Cali didn't know it either, but she didn't know it either.

Blame!

Callie rushes to Walter, pushing him to the ground.

Known as Io's most outstanding knight, Cali begins to put a sword against her son Walter.

"There was no one stronger than me in Earl Lancefield! '

Cali's pride.

He didn't have the slightest idea he was going to fight Walter.

But...

Cham! Cham! Chang!

In just four shots, my pride was shaken.

'This guy......?'

Cali looks at Walter with a wide, startled look.

'It's much stronger than I thought.'

Heavy power transmitted by the hand.

In addition, the movements of the sword and body movements were cheerful and free of piles.

"This strong?" '

I couldn't believe it.

Walter was a junior knight who just graduated from the Academy.

Experience should be low and Mana level should be low.

But...

'It's similar to me.'

It was a surprise.

I knew that I did not miss the chief throughout my time as a knight.

However, I thought it was the level of prominence among the students.

'I don't know, but I didn't know.'

I felt like there was so little I knew about Walter, Sassam's son.

At the same time, your fury rises.

"I can't believe you want to be someone else's dog with all these skills! '

With this level of swordsmanship and Mana, the Orwells will shine brightly.

I was even angrier when I thought he was aiming his sword at my family.

"Fool!"

Callie pushes Walter away, pulling Mana up.

Regrettably and sadly, I was determined to kill him, as long as I decided to throw him out.

I was sure of that.

The sword moves more cunningly.

Cham! Cham! Chang!

A flame strikes with the sound of iron.

Spot!

Occasionally, each other's swords cross each other's arms and flanks.

The fierce workshops continued.

"Die!"

An ugly sound pops from Cali's mouth.

He pulls the entire Mana out and throws the number of strikes.

Walter, on the other hand, gripped it and counteracted.

I never back down.

You grip the tooth, gazing directly at the flying pole.

Two people's swords and swords flew by.

At this rate, it's a shoebox.

Thung.

At that moment, Walter's sword trembled.

I opened my mouth a little tightly.

His eyes were firmly shaken without shaking.

'Ah....... Father.......'

Walter swung his sword at the last moment.

I thought I could kill you.

I thought the anger that I liked was so big that I could cut my throat and stab my chest.

But the crucial moment reminded me of an old time that I had forgotten.

Young Callie who taught little Walter the sword.

It reminded me of my father, Cali, who I once admired the most.

"That's all I wanted to do….."

Like Cali said, Walter's heart was too soft.

He couldn't put a sword through his father's chest.

Walter closes his eyes quietly, feeling a falling sword.

On the other hand, there was no black sway in Cali.

No, it looked like it.

Damn it!

Cali grips her teeth.

The sword that was pointing at Walter's chest twisted delicately.

Screaming!

The blade draws a long line and cuts off Walter's left arm.

"Grrrgh!"

There was great pain.

Walter shrugs his sword and grabs his left shoulder with his right hand.

Blood gushes out like fountains.

But he never sat down or screamed.

He stands still and stares straight into Cali's eyes.

"Your eyes are blasphemous and arrogant to the end."

Cali holds up her sword, biting her lower lip.

'Kill them. We can't leave behind any bad luck.'

Cali raises her sword high.

Walter glances at it quietly.

I was still beaten, but I couldn't help but look sad.

"Ugh."

Cali bites her lip.

The hand holding the sword trembles.

It was never because the sword was heavy.

"Go live as if you were dead in a walled countryside."

At the same time, Cali's sword pierces Walter's lower abdomen.

"Hehe."

Walter gripped his teeth.

It was not as painful as when the left arm was cut off.

But despair was much bigger than that.

'Mana is gone.'

A broken heart.

Cali destroyed Walter's manahole.

"You are no longer of the Orwells family."

Cali scolds you coldly and disappears on a horse to the west.

Walter knelt on his knees, looking back at Cali as she was moving away.

Blurry vision.

"Father......."

When he was unconscious, he blurted out the words that he never called out again.

That's how Walter became an orphan.

* * *

Roan has been devastated since his victory in the Aslan battle.

The remnants of the Orwells army, which were scattered from Faver Castle to the east, surrendered at the sight of the flags of the Tail and Lancefield forces.

The same is true of the large and small castles nearby.

All those who bowed their heads to Cali pledged their allegiance to Roan.

Thanks to this, the Roan, Tail and Lancefield forces were able to enter Faver Castle in just three days after the battle of Aslan.

"Waaaah!"

"Roan! Roan!"

"Roan Lancefield! Roan Lancefield!"

The people of Faver cheered as they rushed across the castle.

The Chase Force and Orwells may come at any moment, but they have to be terrified every day.

Later, word came of Roan's victory.

Excited and delightful situation.

"That's the new Earl, isn't it?"

"Yes! Yes! As expected of us, Earl Lansfield, no, I have the best eye for you!"

"Our new Earl. He's known for his good days."

People's laughter erupted from everywhere.

They gave a generous applause and shout to not only Roan, but also to the troops who had been through tough battles.

"Waaaah!"

"Hahaha!"

A cheerful and bright sound lasted for a long time.

But...

"Huh? Look! Is that guy...?"

Soon, some people began to grumble with a serious look on their faces.

"Isn't that the Orwells?"

"Yes, yes! Cali Orwell's son is right."

"Walter or something, right?"

The people of Faver blurted their eyes out in disdain.

Where they can see.

Walter sits face down on the horse just as he enters the gate.

He tightly cuffed his left shoulder.

"Hey! You bastard! You don't belong here!"

"Traitor!"

"Cali's son, get out of here!"

The abuse became more and more severe.

Even.

"Aye!"

One of the saints throws a rolling stone.

Phew!

The stone slammed Walter in the shoulder.

"Hehe."

Blood flows from my shoulders.

Poor and unfortunate.

However, those who felt great anger at Cali's betrayal did not waver.

"Aye!"

"Die!"

"Get lost!"

Soon, people were throwing stones around.

Puff! Puff! Puck!

Walter sits motionless, trying not to avoid it, and gets stoned.

Then.

Phew!

The dull sound hits my ear.

"Huh?"

"My lord!"

The residents who were throwing stones at you, as well as the Tail Army and the Lancefield troops, cried out in horror.

There was Ronan beside Walter one day.

Red blood flowed from his forehead.

The Fevers hit Walter with a stone instead.

"My lord!"

Austin looks surprised.

After raising his hand as if it were fine, he looked at the surrounding Faver people.

Red blood flows down his forehead.

"Listen up, everyone."

Soft and calm voice.

The saints swallowed dry saliva and listened to Roan's voice.

So was Walter, who was still shaking his head.

He glances at his firm, large back, standing in front of him.

"It doesn't matter whose son Walter is."

I felt a little empowered in my voice.

"If you're going to throw stones at him, throw stones at me."

But not intimidating at all.

The massive, gentle energy that surrounds everyone fills Faver Castle.

After looking at Walter for a moment, Roan said in a loud voice.

"Walter is my knight."

A warm westerly breeze blows.

Walter, looking at Roan's back, grips his teeth.

Something hot to the throat was cold and cold.

At that time, more than a thousand commanders, including Austin, gathered around Walter.

surrounded by protective features.

Austin looks at Roan and Walter alternately and shouts in a loud voice.

"Walter!"

At the same time, the commanders above the commander of the Thousand Commander shouted fearfully.

"He's our brother!"

Hot voice.

A hot declaration.
