I am the Monarch
< Chapter 37 New Connections >
------------------------------------
An era of war.
When the entire continent was in chaos.
An age of war that was so complicated that neither the beginning nor the cause could be determined.
Especially, the age of war was more chaotic because it was not just human warfare.
Whether oppressed, whether lost, or forgotten, they all held swords and swords.
Elves, one of the missing beings, were also responsible for one axis of the era.
And the queen who led those elves.
Ficis.
She was the strongest elf on the face of the earth with green hair and white skin, beautiful appearance, and incredible archery, magic, and spirituality.
"The princess is Princess Aelys? '
He couldn't be trusted.
The rumors about Ficis and Aelee were too different.
Then.
You're Physics? Don't be silly. Those lies don't work on me, the spirit.]
Kinnis stretched his lips out a little angrier.
Roan and Aelee's gaze is upon her.
Kinis looks Ailee in the eye.
That's not just a name. It's kind of a title for being the leader and commander of the Elves.]
My voice got higher and higher.
[A sacred title given only to those among Elves who have passed many trials.]
Kinnis swirls around her.
[You're human after all. So you're the top commander of the Elves? That makes sense.]
His voice contained a sharp aura.
Roan glances at her quietly.
Waiting for an answer.
Aelee's expression was still bold.
She smiles faintly and replies with a gentle voice.
"Kinis. I'm familiar with the Elven world, perhaps because it's a spirit." So, you recognize this, too? "
After extending her hands, she places her index finger, index finger, thumb, and thumb against each other and creates a small triangle.
Moment.
Pa 'a.
Three small, symmetrical leaves emerged between her eyebrows.
Mysterious leaves with a subtle green glow.
[Theon......?!]
Kinis muttered with a half-dazzled expression.
Theon.
It was a token and symbol of Ficis, the supreme commander of the Elves, referring to the green symbol consisting of three leaves.
[You really are Ficis, aren't you?]
Kinis asked with a trembling voice.
She nods lightly and breaks her fingers.
At the same time, the shimmering Tesseract fades away.
How can a human be a Physician?]
Kinis asked with a trembling voice.
Rondo's curious face.
She whispers in a small voice.
"I'm not human. Half Elves."
Half-Elf.
A horse that refers to a half-breed elf born between an elf and another species.
The voice of Roan, who was just listening, came in carefully.
"So you mean the deceased 4th Queen was an Elf?"
"Yes, my mother was an Elf."
She nods, smiling and smiling.
It was hard to believe.
Roan hesitates for a moment, asking with a cautious attitude and voice.
"I heard Queen Xylene was a mere mortal..."
The information of the royal family as they entered and exited the Royal Library was clearly stated.
No, there were no non-humans among the Rhine royals in the first place.
She replies with a bold voice.
"No, she was definitely an elf. He was also a fish of his time. He just transformed and lived with dragon magic. I'm a human being, not an elf, because I'm still young."
Originally, Elves had a much longer lifespan than Humans.
Because of this, in the case of Half Elves born between Elves and Humans, the appearance of Elves often occurs only after their twenties reach human age.
"What an amazing story. Does His Majesty know this?"
"No, you see your mother as an ordinary human being. It was because my mother kept it a secret. The reason is, um... This is so personal, I can't tell you. I'm sorry."
"No, I'm not."
Roan quickly shakes his head.
He clears his head and asks again.
"Why did the fourth queen hide herself while using dragon magic?"
I had to ask.
The reason the Elven Supreme Commander hides himself and lives among Humans.
Her face darkens slightly, with a bold, soft smile.
"It was to survive without dying."
The sad light of your voice is locked.
"My mother was being chased."
"You were being chased?"
I don't want to, but I keep asking questions.
It was necessary to understand the situation before and after.
Moreover, it was a very surprising story that the Elven Leader lived in hiding to save his life.
She sighs for a short while, watching the beautiful landscape unfold outside the balcony.
"This is going to be a long story."
Roan and Kinis nod with their lips closed.
They were ready to listen to her story as much as they could.
"Where should I start….. hmm."
After a moment of deliberation, Aelee reveals a completely unexpected story.
"Yes. I should start with the dragons."
Roan, Eilee, and Kinis' gaze twisted.
"Not all dragons are dead or far gone."
Suddenly, a lost dragon.
The hidden truth was finally revealed.
"They're deep in the Gran Mountains now."
Her voice grows strong.
The stories that followed were truly remarkable and bizarre.
* * *
"Why are you here alone? What about the Master?"
Dark Chamber.
You can see Duke Bradley Webster's frowny face over the candlelight.
The young man across the street frowned.
"I'm sorry. The Master has something important to do..."
"Important work?"
Bradley's face distorted nicely.
"Is it more important than answering my call?"
The voice of the day.
The young man did not panic.
"It has to be. I was away early, so it wasn't easy to contact them separately."
He looks down once more.
"I think it's urgent that we meet first."
"Mmm-hmm. Rings. You still have that pointy tongue."
Bradley doesn't look like much, but he doesn't make any more bruises.
However, as Bradley's nearest and most violent personality, Hensley Fosset didn't intend to just back off.
"Tsk. Cocky bastards. If the Duke calls, we'll leave everything and run. I don't like it at all. That's why shamans curse."
A lot of insults poured out.
"I'm just sorry."
Rings bows to Hensley.
The same is true of the young men who were on both sides.
Their faces were filled with disdainful laughter.
Tons of abuse and swearing.
They were the most repulsive creatures and shamans on the continent, including royalty and nobles.
Those who hid their tracks under a massive subjugation came to King Mills in secret with Bradley's orders.
"That's enough."
Bradley shakes his hand as if it were a nuisance.
I didn't want to flirt with the shamans.
He also used shamans as beacons, but he didn't want to get too close.
"Being with you makes me uncomfortable. '
Bradley jabs at Hensley.
Hensley lowers his head slightly and pulls a chunk of paper out of his chest.
"This is the objective."
The voice of the middle note.
The shamans hand over a bunch of paper and carefully examine the contents.
"Hmm."
Rings frowns.
The blobs of paper were thick, but they were all filled with one person's stories and information.
"Why? Is it impossible?"
Bradley asked in a cold voice.
Rings shakes his head, smiling.
"No way. Nothing is impossible for us."
My face changed strangely.
"You've already checked several times, haven't you?"
"Don't smile so hard."
Bradley cuts his waist with a cold look and then shakes his hand again.
"Good. I'll trust you on this one. Roan. If you put it in his head, I'll give you a big reward."
In response, the Rings and the rest of the shamans duck at your waist.
"Oh, thank you. You've also secured a villa for him to stay in, so we'll take care of it during the working days. Huhuhuhuhu."
A lump flows out.
Rings once again looks at the blob of paper.
There was a large text on the top.
Roan Lancefield.
An emerging hero and idol of the people of the Rhine Kingdom.
This mission was to mess with Roan's head and then hypnotize him into a stuffed animal.
"Just trust us."
Lings takes a step back after answering with a confident, confident voice.
The same goes for all the other shamans.
They retreat to the corner of the locker room where the candles can't reach and then hide themselves.
Hensley, who was watching, shakes his head with an unpleasant look.
"Those disgusting bastards......."
Bradley waves his hand, smiling strangely.
"Don't be so mean. They can handle a tiger, depending on how they use it."
Of course, the more glamorous.
'If something goes wrong, you can throw it away without a hitch.'
There are a lot of motherfuckers in the world.
* * *
Shock. Shock. Shock.
It was literally a series of shocks.
After the banquet, Roan returned to the mansion, sitting alone in the Oval Office, deeply troubled.
[Were you surprised?]
Kinis asked with a slightly mischievous look.
Roan doesn't have an answer.
[I was surprised, too.]
Kinnis takes a long breath sitting on Roan's lap.
[The dragons are actually asleep in the Grains. What the hell happened to them?]
"We don't know that. Princess Aelle doesn't know that much."
Roan sighs for a moment.
[After all, the dragons were dormant and there was a rebellion among the Elves....... That's another shocking thing.]
According to Kinis, Roan nods quietly.
The one who controls the order of the world, dragon.
Their absence destroys the balance of the world very little by little.
It was the same for the Elves, symbols of harmony.
They also lost balance and collapsed gradually from the inside.
'The defiance of Elves and Dark Elves.'
During the time when dragons ruled the world's order, the Dark Elves cast their own shadow.
I was satisfied with their role and in harmony with the elves.
But after the dragon disappeared, they were no longer satisfied with the role of shadows.
'The Dark Elves targeted Silene, who was the leader of the Elves at the time.'
Fortunately, Silen was able to escape the Dark Elves' grasp safely.
'And as fourth queen, I snuck into the Palace of Rhine.'
Even the Dark Elves didn't think that Silen would sneak into the Rhine Palace.
Humans and Elves were the same as the enemy camp after the Great War 500 years ago.
The fourth queen, Silen, who was transformed by the magic of the dragon, married the current king, Denny von Rheines and gave birth to Aelee.
'I asked the dragons not yet dormant to defeat the Dark Elves, but they refused.' Princess Aelys told the Queen that it seemed as though she could not leave the Grains. '
The sleep of the Grain Mountains and dragons.
There must have been a reason.
Later, Silen returned to the Elves' Forest after returning to her original form the year she turned ten.
It was a target of its own to protect Aelle's life from the Dark Elves who were still chasing after him.
Later, she became a disciple of the last dragons to rest and earned the title of Ficis by visiting the Elven Forest in the year of her adulthood.
Of course, to deceive the eyes of the Dark Elves, the fact that Alien and Ficis are one and the same is strictly confidential.
In addition, I avoided going in and out without giving out my abilities in case there were any situations.
This was why she continued to be called the Shadow Princess.
'This is also a question. I refused your request to defeat the Dark Elves, and you accepted Princess Aelys as your disciple.......'
Rarely could I understand the actions of dragons.
"Whew."
It was complicated.
There was one thing that bothered me.
'Absence of dragons. If it destroys the order and balance of the world little by little.......'
And if it has such a powerful effect that even the symbols of harmony can provoke the rebellious elves.......
"Aren't the other races, including humans, dangerous? '
In that case.
'The era of war was not merely caused by human greed, but by the absence of dragons……?'
I felt frustrated.
"Whew."
I couldn't stop breathing.
[Roan, you don't have to worry so much. We can help her from now on.]
The top of the Kinis.
She doesn't know what troubles and frustrates Roan.
Roan touches his lower lip with his fingertips and is deeply troubled.
What the hell is this? What the hell happened to all those dragons that went to sleep? '
The dragons couldn't have known that when they all went to sleep, the balance of the world shifted.
'I knew that, but I had to go to sleep.......'
I was cold sweating behind my back.
Instinctive response.
'There's still so much I don't know.'
I've lived two lives, but I don't know much more than I know.
'By the way, I don't even know how the age of war ended.'
I smiled bitterly.
It was a pity.
I died too soon in my last life.
But I couldn't keep my hands off her.
Now that I had learned the new facts, I needed to clean up again.
'I need to sort out what's going to happen first.'
The best way to do it now was to organize the future.
I needed to organize it quietly and draw a bigger picture.
After that day, Roan refrained from going outside as much as possible and cleared up what was going to happen or not.
That was the fourth day I sat in the Oval Office.
"Damn it."
Roan frowns.
He grabs the hair with both hands.
"How stupid could you be?"
Roan sighs a long, thick stack of paper in front of him.
A bunch of papers lined with leather covers had a subtle list of things to come.
A huge amount of content in a way.
However, the content was too biased.
Most of the content was about combat and war.
After all, it was everything that Roan went through and studied.
"I'm sure you've heard and seen a lot of things......."
I forgot the areas that I didn't usually pay attention to.
'This is not very helpful.'
The summary now shows that losing battles can lead to victory, but it was almost impossible to draw the big picture by itself.
"Damn it."
There was an insult.
He gets up from his seat, clutching his head.
"I wish I could see inside your head......."
You sigh and turn your back.
I haven't been outside the office for days, trying to squeeze out the future.
'I need to cool off.'
Roan walks quietly out of the office.
In son-in-law, there was a deep darkness.
Is it dawn?
Even the concept of time was vague.
I passed the corridor of the temporary mansion and headed to the magnificent and huge garden located on the sponsorship.
"My lord."
Several knights and soldiers who were on guard found Roan and took up their duties.
After defeating them, Roan wants to spend some time alone, he takes a deep step into the garden.
'Good.'
The cool night air cleared my chest and head.
'Yeah, let's take a little more time.'
What would have happened if I acted rashly.
'If you slow down and think about it, you will remember the old memories as well.'
He takes a deep breath and raises his head.
I saw many stars rising from the night sky.
Then.
"Huh?"
One of the stars suddenly drops.
It wasn't falling down like a meteor.
A star falls straight down toward Roan, as if it were a sad fall.
"What the….."
Roan frowns slightly and retreats to his side.
However, my body did not move freely.
At the same time, things in front of me became blurry, and the whole world turned dark.
Magic? It's not magic. '
At that moment, I heard a sinister and gloomy voice in my ears.
"Even the hero of our time, Roan Lancefield, is a man of action. I can't believe you got into this simple single and hypnotic thing. Hehehe."
A terrifying creature.
I immediately heard a similar voice in a row.
"Let's go through his head, shall we?"
"What memories do you have?"
"I'll dig up all the horrible memories you've hidden deep inside."
"You are now our puppet."
"Let's get rid of them before the knights and the guards get here."
Strange sounds follow.
Roan wants to scream, but his mouth doesn't move.
At that moment, I felt the pain of a needle sticking into my head.
'Ugh.'
Terrible pain.
But not enough to scream.
"Aaahhhh!"
"Rrrrgh!"
Screaming comes from the wrong place.
"Oh, shit! What the hell!"
A confused voice.
Some of them screamed loudly.
"What, what? What the hell is this memory?"
"Past or not? What's this?"
"Ow!"
"Yi, this is not the past! It's not the past!"
Moment.
Pa!
Roan felt the world quieting down.
No, precisely. He's lost his mind, enjoying a very relaxing and cozy energy.
In the meantime, only Roan's mind is swirling like a storm.
