I am the Monarch
< Chapter 37 New Connections >
------------------------------------
A slightly excited voice.
This was the first time the Aliens had told their secrets to anyone other than nanny Margaret and Hobbit Greg Katis.
No, I didn't even want to talk about it before.
"I'm actually from the past….."
When the horse goes on like that.
"Earl Lancefield."
Simon Rhys suddenly approaches with a familiar voice in his ear.
[Yay!]
Kinis frowned with a frown on his face.
[He's not helping.]
Whimpering with a sharp voice.
'Yes.'
Roan looks back, smiling bitterly.
I saw Simon and Princess Cady Rhodes.
'You've been forcibly dragged.'
Roan smiles bitterly, looking at Kady's uncomfortable face.
He had a long conversation with Cady after the banquet started according to Simon's plan.
The only thing I know for sure is the result.
"Me and Princess Cady, we're on top of each other, pole. '
Unlike calm Roan, Cady was too active.
In a way.
'I wonder how Princess Cady and her overly small Pills lived happily ever after.'
Sazam Fields felt great.
That was it.
Cady's twisted personality.
"What were you doing here?"
Simon glances back and forth at Roan and Aelle, smiling slightly.
Soft eyes and a soft tail.
However, a sharp aura flashed through the hidden eyes.
"Why not with her..."
Simon couldn't understand.
Alien was a dynasty so devoid of existence within the palace that she was called the Shadow Princess.
It had no solid background and no outstanding capabilities.
Not even brothers and sisters.
Roan was a pillar of the kingdom, a creature that was emerging as a hero.
'By comparison, Cady is my only blood relative who is closest to the next great king.'
It didn't fade anywhere else.
'Of course, the personality is a little unusual, but it's something you can fix.'
In many ways, it wasn't Ali who was the right girl for Roan, but Kady.
"I'm sorry."
Roan had a hunch about Simon's inner being.
'Even love does it with its head.'
Even love was seen as one of the accessories to power.
Throughout the last life and this life, the love of those close to power was almost like Simon.
For them, love and marriage were but one means of maintaining power.
'I don't live that way.'
From the beginning, Roan was a man who knew how to love with his heart, not his head.
He left several interests and tried to be honest with his feelings.
And...
"My heart..."
I knew exactly when and in front of whom I felt better running.
I was beginning to realize it, but it became more clear through today's banquet.
Roan smiles softly and lowers his head slightly.
"I was talking to Princess Aelys."
"Mmm-hmm. I didn't realize you and Aelee were close."
Simon looks back at her.
She smiles faintly all the time.
His deep eyes smoothly cover Simon's eyes.
'Brother.'
She knows Simon's insides better than Roan.
It wasn't just because it was a different brother and sister.
"Thanks to Siman. '
Eilee's eyes were unusual.
Why she can see into people's minds and thoughts.
Siman.
The weight of the secret she had was much heavier than I expected.
"Look at this guy......."
Simon's eyes are wide open.
I didn't expect Aelee, known as the Shadow Princess, to avoid even the elderly nobles and look at her boldly.
"Did I make a rash decision......."
Of the royal palace, or rather, of the royal family, he thought that only two princes, Tommy Lines, and three princes, Column Lines were his opponents.
All other problematic people have been demoted or detained.
With the exception of those who decided that they could not be the opponents, we let them go, and Ali was one of them, too.
But today, I thought, maybe that judgment was wrong.
'I need to pay more attention.'
A long way ahead of the throne competition.
At this time, I had to be careful and careful about every single leaf that fell.
Caution is forbidden.
Simon takes a deep breath and looks at Roan and Aelle.
'If you two ever have any affection for each other...'
It was not a pleasant situation.
I couldn't get a clear picture of what she was thinking about herself.
"It can't be good….."
But I was able to estimate it roughly.
In the original case, Simon was the enemy of all but the forces supporting him.
Because he likes to distinguish between my people and others and he thinks it's important.
Simon's gaze naturally turned to Cady.
"Are you going to stand there? '
The fierce look in his eyes.
But Cady was not as moveable as the other nobles.
He was Simon's only blood and sister.
Almost the only one capable of speaking up.
Besides...
I don't want to marry Earl Roan Lancefield! '
Cady didn't like Roan either.
She frowns and stares at Simon.
Silent rebellion.
Silent beating.
There was a fierce snowfight between the two of them.
Eventually, Cady snorted first, impatient and completely oblivious to his surroundings.
"Hmph! This feast is no fun!"
Then he fled the banquet hall, shaking his head loudly.
"Cady!"
Simon calls out in a loud voice, but Cady doesn't look back once.
'Damn it.'
The scorn reached the end of my neck.
I wanted to follow him and teach him a lesson right away.
But...
At this rate, Earl Lansfield and Aley--
His gaze was naturally directed at Roan and Aelle.
The two of them stood side by side, staring at themselves.
It looked like an old lover or married couple.
'Dangerous.'
Simon was nervous.
However, it was funny that he was guarding his place.
No, I couldn't keep my seat.
Roan and Aelee's mood is not something they can interfere with on their own.
Besides, it wasn't that natural.
"Looks like something's up."
Simon smiles awkwardly at Roan and waves a little.
"I'll follow my brother."
Roan and Aelee duck instead of answering.
Simon moves along Cady with a bitter look on his face.
'Dammit. You're going to regret this.'
I felt frustrated.
It seems the day will come when you won't be able to take Roan and Aelys away from you.
This anxiety has always been a high prevalence.
'We can't let that happen.'
Hazards should be eliminated in advance.
'We should investigate her.'
You can use them as hostages.
'Earl Roan Lancefield. You must always be with me.'
If you see reason to leave your side or betray yourself.
'At that time, I don't know how I will change.'
Your eyes flash with a frightening aura.
The two of them smiled bitterly at Simon's distant back.
Then.
So, shall we finish our conversation?]
Kinnis gives her a glaring look.
I couldn't take it anymore.
My face and eyes were filled with question marks.
Roan and Ailey.
The two looked at each other and smiled silently.
Her eyes were soft and her smile was warm.
[Hey, are you really going to keep doing that?]
Kinnis interrupted me with a pointy face.
She smiles shyly and asks in a small voice.
"Do you want to move?"
Her gaze is toward a small balcony located on one side of the banquet hall.
Roan nods slowly.
"I'll take you."
He takes a step forward.
After that, she followed.
People's gazes poured out naturally.
"Why Earl Lancefield and the Shadow Princess? '
"How did you two get along? '
What the hell is going on? '
Many royals and nobles were distracted by the rolling of their heads.
'It was hard to get a line from Earl Lancefield.......'
Shall we line up for Princess Aelle? '
It was a moment when Ali, who had been living as a shadow without any existence, began to get people's attention.
"I wouldn't be disturbed by anyone here."
She whispered as she watched the beautiful landscape unfolding outside the balcony.
Sweet voice.
Roan nods, smiling faintly.
He quietly waited for the next word.
She smiles, smiling and talks behind her back.
"You know my nickname is Shadow Princess, right?"
"Yes, I know."
Roan nods lightly.
Aelee turns her head and looks straight at Roan.
'Hmm.'
Roan swallows a low roar as he looks into her big, deep eyes.
My heart was beating loudly.
Her small, red lips move slowly.
"The reason I was called the Shadow Princess is because I was critically ill a few years ago and hadn't been outside in quite a while."
Roan nods quietly.
He was also familiar with it.
She shakes her head, smiling.
"But that's the wrong rumor. I......."
A sweet voice grazed my ears like the wind.
"I've never had a major illness."
"Hmm."
Roan spills a low tear.
But that didn't surprise me very much.
He already thought the rumors about Alien were most likely wrong.
Because there was no treatment information about her except that she was cured of being seriously ill.
'There was another reason.'
This was well within the expected range.
But after that, Aelee's story was far beyond Roan's expectations.
"I've been studying outside the palace for quite some time."
Unusual stories already.
Roan and Kinis frowned slightly.
[Study? Suddenly?]
"Study?"
There is a tremor in Roan's calm voice.
She smiles faintly and nods.
"I lived in the depths of the Gran Mountains with your teacher."
I couldn't believe it.
It was unbelievable that the young princess lived in the depths of the Haemji Grain Mountains in the rugged areas, saying that she did not enter and enter the palace, nor did the knights enter.
However, Ailey's expression was very serious.
There was not a single lie in his eyes.
"I learned a lot from my teachers. I learned magic and spirituality, not just general academia. I was able to contract with four different attribute spirits thanks to their teachings."
Scary to the end.
[No way! That's a lie!]
Kinis yelled with an unbelievable expression.
Even Roan didn't spit it out of his mouth, but it was similar.
Kinis' words continued.
[Thanks to the teachings of the teachers, you made a contract with spirit of your own attributes? Even if they were Elves, it would be impossible. I don't know if those four masters were dragons or spirit kings, but..... of course it's not that easy. The friendliness of your different attributes.......]
About that time, she smiles and takes out a big secret that she had buried deep in her heart.
"That's right."
What's right?]
Kinis gives a strange look at Aelee's sudden words.
She looks slightly crooked to one side.
Cute.
"All my teachers......."
Instinctively, my voice became a little smaller.
"He was a dragon."
At that moment, the heavy static settled.
Roan and Kinis opened their mouths slightly, their eyes wide.
Roan and Kinis have been through a lot of crazy things and have heard a lot of stories.
In the case of Kinis, he was nominated for the Spirit King even though he was from a worthless country.
At the moment of his death, Roan was returning to the past and living a new life again.
This was unbelievable.
Nevertheless, the huge secret that Alien uncovered was unbearably shocking.
Dragon.
An absolute presence that has been hidden for decades, hundreds of years.
Humans thought they had left the world and gone farther away.
I didn't think they were all dead.
Because I thought dragons never die.
To humans, the existence of a dragon was almost the same as that of God.
"Go, the princess is a dragon, and that's your disciple?"
The end of Roan's voice trembles.
Known for his usual calmness and calmness, he was not as easy to maintain at this moment.
A dragon!
I've never seen dragons before in my life, nor heard rumors of them showing up.
"Yes, that's right."
Alien, on the other hand, was very promising.
Rather, it seemed very comfortable to reveal the big secret that had been hidden so far.
Roan glances at Aelee's eyes quietly.
"The apprentice of dragons....... why didn't he stand out in the last life? '
It got complicated in my head.
"Did my life change completely as I went back in time? '
The collar moves heavily.
At that time, Kinnis asked with a suspicious voice whether he had counted Roan's complex heart.
You're the dragon's apprentice? I find that hard to believe. A disciple of a dragon, called the Shadow Princess, wasting his life without existence?]
She shakes her head lightly.
"It's part of who I am. I'm doing things my own way."
[What happened?]
Kinis asked me like I was being shot at.
Alien answered without hesitation.
Because there was nothing more to hide.
"Sales Merchant Guild and several awards......."
When the horse goes on like that.
"The merchant guild!?"
Roan bites back in a loud voice.
When I didn't think of it, I heard a name I didn't think of.
She nods, looking at Roan's surprised expression.
"Yes, the merchant guild that invests its transportation business in the Earl's territory is one of the merchants I run. I'm so sorry I couldn't tell you who I was. I wonder if you will be burdened......."
She misunderstood why Roan was so surprised.
Roan looks at her with a half-dazzled look.
'Gold Master Sale that was hidden in the veil. It was Princess Aelee.'
Representative of the Giant Merchant Guild, which dominated 70% of the Rhine Kingdom.
The greatest sign in the whole continent, within five fingers.
The Goldmaster Sale was finally revealed.
It was certainly surprising and surprising.
'But.......'
Roan quickly recovers his mind.
I felt uneasy in every corner of my heart.
"I'm sure Goldmasters are great..."
There was something unfortunate about the dragon's apprentice.
The last time I looked around the entire continent, there were quite a number of people who were greater than Goldmaster sales.
In the age of war, there were many characters.
"Could there be another face? '
When I thought about it.
[Running the Merchant Guild? Huh. That can't be all.]
Kinis asked with a sharp voice.
She had something on her mind.
As a disciple of the dragon, you made a pact with spirit of your own attributes? That's impossible. No matter how great a dragon may be, it must also support its own abilities. '
Each of the four attributes had to have tremendous affinity.
It's never possible for a normal human being.
The look of suspicion.
Kinis looks straight at her.
She still smiles and replies.
"Kinis is right. I have another name besides Ali and Sale."
She looks at Roan and Kinnis alternately, whispering in a small voice.
"Ficis, that's another name for me."
Moment.
"Ah......."
Roan bursts a low elasticity.
I had to be surprised.
'Ficis.......'
Lightning struck my head.
An era of war.
A huge axis underpinning the age of chaos.
And the name that supported the axis.
Ficis.
'Queen of the Elves.'
Her name came up everywhere.
