I am the Monarch

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

It was a festival.

It was a real joy after a long war.

The marriage of Roan Lancefield and the Aelys.

Roan's noisy and urgent proposal was known throughout the kingdom.

People were passionate about the monarch's honest and bold confession.

And I truly blessed him.

It wasn't just about Roan.

The people of the kingdom loved her as much as Roan did.

During the war, Aelee was a great supporter of Roan, and after the war, she investigated the affairs of the kingdoms through the merchant guild and others.

Roan and Ailey.

The two thought of the royal people first, rather than individual greed and comfort.

They were worthy of the love of the people of the kingdom.

Two or two!

Wagons rush from all sides with the sound of the earth ringing.

They were guests from all over the kingdom to celebrate Roan and Aelle's marriage.

Among them were Cady Lines, the Holy Spirit of Mill Castle in the Rhine special district, and Fields, who was escorting her.

"That's great."

Cady looks out the wagon through a small window.

A beautiful spring landscape passed by like a picture.

Phil nods slowly as he sits across from her.

"It's a really good match."

The pair they were talking about were Roan and Alien.

Cady mutters with a pitiful expression.

"I'm glad you're happy, too."

A lonely look and voice somewhere.

Pills looks at him.

"Even my sister......."

I didn't like it.

He shakes his head slowly.

"It's not just you. You can be as happy as you want."

I wanted to say more, but I forcefully swallowed the latter.

Cady looks out the window and turns her head to look at him.

"Thank you."

It was all cut back and forth, but Fields could feel her sincerity.

Cady hesitates for a moment and whispers in a very small voice.

"Will you stay with me?"

"Of course."

The answer was quick.

"Because that's the king's order?"

Cady cautiously asked again.

Phil shakes his head, grinning bitterly.

"No, not because the king commanded it."

He puts his right hand on his chest.

"I'd like to. I want to stay with you."

At that moment, a light silence settles.

The static that seems to blow away if the hook is blown.

The two of them smiled awkwardly at each other.

It was a situation where they confessed to each other, not to each other.

"You won't be late for the wedding, will you?"

Cady started to talk naturally.

Phil looks out the window and nods.

"Yes. We'll be at Mediacis Castle shortly."

"I should have rushed it a little sooner......."

Cady sighs for a short while.

Phil shakes his hand as if it were fine.

"I had no choice but to take care of the saints who suffered greatly in the last war. Your Majesty will understand."

"Yes, but......."

After the war, I remembered the face of Aelys, who became close to me like a sister.

I wanted to arrive before the wedding and have a chat.

'I wanted to share stories that I've been building for a long time.......'

I remembered a sad look on my face.

Right then.

"The king is also the Castle of Mediacis."

I heard the wagon's voice.

The fast wagon slows down.

"Hmm?"

Cady and Phil tilt their heads at each other.

Because the wagon that was running stopped very much.

"Please wait a moment. I'll go out there."

Phil opens the carriage door to reassure Cady.

Suddenly, he froze like a statue.

There were people right in front of you who had no idea.

"I've had a long journey."

Soft but powerful voice.

Phil wakes up late and quickly kneels on one knee.

"To see you, Your Majesty."

The protagonist of the voice, Roan Lancefield, stood at the front door of the wagon.

Cady, who was guarding the position, was greatly surprised by what Pills said and quickly looked at the entrance.

There was really Roan right in front of the wagon.

And...

"Sis......."

You see the bright smiling Aelys next to him.

Cady unknowingly runs past Fields and out of the wagon.

"Slowly, slowly. And then I fell."

She hugs Katie, who is likely to burst into tears right away, and pats her small, delicate back.

"Sister, congratulations on your wedding."

Cady barely congratulates him in a wet voice.

"Thank you."

She rubs her head like that and smiles faintly.

The smile was so warm and soft that I felt like I was seeing my mother's smile.

Phil looks at Roan, still on one knee.

"Should we hug?"

It sounds awkward.

Roan's blurry smile hardens.

"Don't sound so awful."

It's a funny voice, unlike your face.

Pills smiles and steps out of the wagon.

Roan and Ailey, Fields and Cady.

Warm spring breezes surround your people.

"Did the people who are getting married meet outside the gate today?"

Phil cautiously asked.

Roan nods as if it were natural.

"Of course they're coming."

At that, Cady, who was still in Ali's arms, wept unbearably.

It was a warm, happy tear that flowed silently.

Pills, who was watching, closest to Roan, whispers in a very small voice.

"So I'm family too?"

A face with a red glow somewhere.

Roan glances at Pills like that and grins and grabs his shoulder.

Gulp.

Pills waits for Roan's reply with a nervous expression.

Roan, likewise, whispered in a very small voice.

"You've always been..."

The voice is so clear and full of conviction.

"It was my family."

"Ah......."

Fields bursts into sheer elasticity.

One word warmed my heart.

Roan smiles blurrily at the three of them.

"Are you going to keep doing this? Should we go to the ceremony?"

Right now, the ceremony is all set up and waiting for Roan and Aley.

"Ah......."

Cady pulls herself out of Ali's arms with a startled look.

Worried that there might have been tears in her dress.

Seeing Aelys, you reach out your right hand without a word.

"Sister."

Cady forcefully holds Ailey's hand, holding back her tears.

The two of them got on the wagon first.

Roan and Pills look at each other, then climb into the wagon.

"I'll take you to the palace."

The horse's voice echoes softly.

Dagdac. Dagdac.

A wagon carrying Roan's iconic royal plane enters Mediacis Castle.

Moment.

"Wow!"

Fields and Cady all burst into resilience.

The castle was decorated with all kinds of ornaments.

Beautiful scenery unfolded wherever I could see it.

'It's a much larger and more beautiful place than Castle Mill.'

The faces of those who filled the streets seemed very pleasant and happy.

Above all, there was not a single person who was afraid or in a hurry to escape, knowing that the wagon was the king's wagon.

Although there were some saints who occasionally had a slight baptism, most of them cheered and waved without hesitation.

'Different. Amaranth is different.'

The Monarch of the Amaranth Kingdom was not located high, but beside him.

'Good. It's good.'

Everyone got a better monarch.

'I have to try harder to be a good monarch too.'

Cady clenches a small fist.

Pills, who was sitting across from him, smiled faintly.

Meanwhile, the wagon runs gently to the royal palace.

The palace of Amaranth, known for its screaming proposal, was huge, but not glamorous.

It was definitely magnificent and beautiful, but there was no way to kill or exaggerate human chi.

The ceremony was in the central garden where Roan and Ali knelt down and kissed each other.

"Waaaahhhh!"

"Now you're here!"

The widows who were guarding the place, the nobles, and the guests shouted in applause.

Roan and Aelee smile shyly and head up to the prepared platform.

Cady and Phil are guided by royal acolytes to their pre-arranged seats.

The seat was closest to the single phase.

Several people had already occupied their seats on either side.

The acolyte who guided me whispers in a small voice.

"These are your people."

The people who sat down were residents of Lar Village.

"Ah......."

Cady and Fields bowed slightly with low elasticity.

The villagers of Lar stood up in surprise.

They already knew who the owner of the vacancy was.

'The Rhine dynasty.......'

'The sister of the one who will be queen.......'

Ordinary people were hard to see in their lifetime.

Although he was a monarch and not a royal, he was different from the common people.

Of course, Cady didn't act recklessly.

Because she also learned a great deal from Roan.

I realized that only the people of the kingdom can have kingdoms.

"We will now begin the wedding ceremony."

It was Austin who was in charge of the ceremony, as was the time of immediacy.

Austin speaks quietly.

"First….."

Austin held the ceremony slowly in a solemn atmosphere.

The ceremony was very simple and concise because it resembled Roan and Aelle.

The wedding vows of the two continued after first thanking several guests.

Roan glances at Ailee's big, beautiful eyes.

"If I die and come back to life, I'll dream of something other than a monarch."

No one knows, but Roan has already had two different dreams.

One is a general, and the second is a monarch.

"But even if I die and come back to life, even if I die and come back to life again, I will only love you."

Even if everything changed, I was confident that love would never change now.

"I will love only you forever, forever and ever."

The voice was bold, but the end was slightly trembling.

She smiles faintly and nods.

"I will do everything with you. This life, the next life, the next life......."

Her voice was also trembling sharply.

"I wanted to say this more than anything else."

The smile on my mouth became darker.

"I love you."

The two of them held each other's hands.

The lips touched each other gently.

"Waaaahhhh!"

A clapping sound was heard with a shout.

Roan and Ailey gaze into each other's eyes in people's blessings.

Her eyes glowed more beautifully than the starlight, and her smile on her mouth was more beautiful than any other flower in the world.

Everyone was happy.

"Next up is the Marriage Declaration."

Austin held the ceremony alone in the midst of the commotion.

Their gaze led to a single phase.

Normally, the Declaration of Marriage was the responsibility of the priest.

However, no priests were seen anywhere in the ceremony.

"The Declaration of Marriage is given to you by your stepfather, Mr. Bass, and Mr. Cady Lines, the Holy Father of Milr Castle in the Rhine Special District......."

When the horse goes on like that.

"Ugh! Get out of my way!"

Suddenly, there was a commotion.

Everyone who was waiting for the Declaration of Marriage with Roan frowns.

"Who's annoying you on this fine day? '

"Who dares to make a sound......."

The crowd's gaze leads to the entrance of the palace with a loud roar.

The way Roan and Aelle held hands together, they tilted their heads.

After going through the crowd, a group of five appeared.

The first of them was a middle-aged man dressed in purple.

"Ah......."

"Oops……"

Suddenly, a low sigh erupted from everywhere.

The protagonists of the groaning were his supporters, including ministers.

Regardless, some guests stood up and bowed their heads.

Most of them, however, stared at the crowd without moving quietly.

At that time, a middle-aged man dressed in purple clothing called out in a loud voice to Roan.

"Earl Roan Lancefield of the Rhine Kingdom receives the sanctuary!"

The heavy silence settles throughout the entire ceremony, terrified to the end of the sentence.

Everyone frowned.

It was not enough to mention the Kingdom of Rhine, which had already been destroyed, that it was offensive to call Ronan, the ruler of the Kingdom of Amaranth, the former title.

Nevertheless, it was because of the words that followed.

Holy Land.

It was a letter from the Holy Father, or Devesis, who received it.

Since most countries on the continent believed in the Devesian Church, everyone, whether a monarch, noble, commoner, slave, or believer, had to kneel down under the Holy Land.

A middle-aged man dressed in purple.

He was Cardinal Herbert in search of Mediacis Castle by order of the Holy Father Veldrica.

Herbert shakes his head with a shivering smile.

"A wedding without a priest....... Tsk, tsk. Everything's a mess."

The sound of ridicule flows in the wind.

He opens his arms and lets out a loud voice.

"Earl Roan Lancefield! I can't get on my knees!"

Just in time.

Pavat!

In front of Herbert, a deeply pressed green robe reveals itself.

Chang!

A thin blade of steel grazes Herbert's neck.

"Huff, huff!"

Herbert swallows the wind suddenly.

The priests and monks who were counting in the rear came up late and blew their heads off.

"How dare you put a sword through the cardinal's throat!"

"Who are you!"

The man who pressed the green robe replied with a cold voice.

"Don't move. It could puncture the cardinal's neck."

Gulp.

Herbert swallows dry water with a white bored face.

It was not a lie.

The man in the green robe breathes tremendous life out of his body.
