I am the Monarch

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

Epis was a failure.

That's what everyone called it.

‘Even my father.......’

It was originally destined to be used as a training prop for successful works.

However, I struggled with all sorts of things with the determination of wanting to live, or to be recognized by my father.

I made my arms and legs endlessly long.

After a painful training, I have strong skin, muscles, and bones to deal with the error.

Thanks to this, I was able to change the fate of being used as a consumable.

Of course, I still didn't get my father's approval.

He had to defend his home even when his successes and father's children were scattered to the continent for governance.

‘If I stay like this, I won't be able to get my father's approval. ’

Epis leaves the house, avoiding the eyes of his father and brothers.

The relatively quiet region of the eastern part of the Grain Mountains, which was also a very distant Ebian region, was used as an activity stage.

You left the Dark Elves and Orcs under your command and sacrificed them as sacrifices.

It was a much faster outcome than other brothers.

‘Just a little more and you'll get your father's approval. ’

I was full of confidence.

Just then, the annoying tribes emerged from the south.

Humans who have identified themselves as Manus Persian, Fade Nail, and Area Brits have led an army.

It wasn't hard to deal with them.

The Orcs were too numerous to count, and the Dark Elves were much stronger than normal Humans.

As expected, the battle flowed unilaterally.

Humans are no match for each other.

Of course, Manus, Fade and Area were a little more annoying than other humans.

‘So I went out on my own. Even the martis gloves my father gave me. ’

Even those who were a little annoyed when they stepped up on their own were no longer the opponents.

I was going to take him out and make him bleed to death.

Right then.

He's here! He's here! ’

Epis' eyes were torn long.

It was a horrible life.

I didn't have enough to come out of nowhere and beat the shit out of me, even the Martis gloves my father gave me! ’

I was angry.

I'm angry, but.......

Ewwww!

You pull it out with a heavy voice and stick your fist in a dry stomach.

“Cough!”

Epis bounces back with a cough.

The solid armor surrounding your abdomen recesses.

Kuaaaaang!

The hills crumble over the pile of rocks.

“Damn it! Khh! Damn it! Khh! ”

Epis jumps to his feet, twitching his nerves.

Fuss.

The rocks and sand fall from the ground as you move.

“You're not like him. ”

I heard a small but loud voice in my ears.

Epis looks at the protagonist of his voice, touching his abdomen.

Suddenly, the man who beat himself up and smashed up Martis' gloves, who had just blown a powerful blow to the abdomen, was none other than Roan Lancefield.

Roan looks at Epis in a slightly curious tone.

‘Weaker than the Black Legion's General Gorg. ’

It wasn't just weak.

I was very anxious and immature, not knowing where.

You strike a powerful blow, but suddenly you see a strange movement.

‘At first, I thought it was a peculiar attack. But.......’

Through the workshop, I realized that wasn't the case.

‘He's weak. And very unstable. ’

If Gorg were an adult man, Epis was like a baby.

‘Of course, it doesn't make me careless…..’

Suddenly, there are only times when you act like a fool. The Gorg never underestimate your power or ability.

“Everything is different from everyone else! Khh!”

Epis screams with a red bitten face.

He looked him straight in the eye and threw a letter, a word after word.

“Black Army General Gorg. ”

Scary to the end.

“Hiic!”

Epis was frenzied.

He jumped back and forth, swinging his long arm around like crazy.

“Goh, Gorg and I are no different! He's my son, too! ”

At that, Roan frowns.

“Father?”

Lightweight questions.

Epis nods, smiling brightly.

“Hehehehe! Yes. My father, who created me and my brothers! Give us a new life and a new mission.......”

As he continues to speak, he suddenly shuts up.

Then he grabs his head with his big palm.

“Ah, ah, ah, ah! Aaaaah! I'm not supposed to tell anyone about my father! Oh, I almost disobeyed my father's orders! ”

Epis blames himself for hitting his head hard.

Half out of his mind.

“Kieeeeeeeeek!”

Suddenly, he lowers his head and vomits.

At the same time.

Ta-ah!

You rush to the surface and rush towards Roan.

“I'll kill you! I'll kill you! If I kill you, there's no problem! ”

A terrible life gushed from my body.

“Hmm.”

Roan takes a step back, swallowing his moan.

‘Different.’

It was completely different from the movement so far.

It looked like it had broken an egg, as if it had taken off its guilt.

No, actually...

‘Crazy.’

Epis is completely insane.

He became completely mad, obsessed with the existence of a father.

All that was left of him was instinct.

The uncontrollable body draws out all its latent power.

Kuaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Kuang! Guaguava overload!

Every time I swing my arms and legs, a pillar of dirt rises with a sound.

Roan dodges the fierce attack of Epis with Calian's tears.

No, it's a good word. It's lighter. In fact, it's very focused on each movement.

The attack on Epis was powerful and sharp enough.

“Kieeeeek!”

Epis is even more frenzied as Roan moves around avoiding all attacks.

The arms moved very dizzily.

Idiot!

A sharp wave struck my ear.

Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!

Your arms twist like a windmill.

A violent gust follows your arm.

Kugu Gugu! Kugu!

Broken rocks and stones float into the sky along the wind.

Roan puts Mana on both legs for balance.

“Die!”

Epis screams and flies toward Roan.

It was as if they were rushing to their death together.

‘Hmm.'

Roan grabs Travis' spear from his waist and pulls Mana up.

Debt!

Along with the sound of iron, the spear rises long and reveals itself.

At the same time, a dark red light surrounds the window.

The flames were about to rise.

Right then.

“Uuuhhh!”

Epis, who was rushing like crazy, suddenly screamed with a white face.

He leans back, his arms outstretched.

Epis trembles all over.

“Well, well, well, well, well..."

Looks like he's come to his senses.

A long finger points to Roan.

No, I pointed to Roan's two hands, precisely.

No, more precisely, it points to Travis' spear that Roan is holding.

But he shouted something strange.

“Phi, Philius!!!! ”

I squeezed my lips and burst out.

“Oh, no. Yeah, my dad said Travis. No, it's okay. ”

Epis looks very anxious.

“No! That's Philius! Filius!”

The unknown word continued.

He muttered in a small voice with no rest.

“There he is. He's here. He's here. ”

* * *

“Have a seat, everyone. ”

The old man recommended Calian and Swift take a seat.

Calian sits motionless and raises his cup of tea.

Hooray.

Noise.

He glances at the old man and smiles.

Swift, on the other hand, looks down at the elderly man in his old age without hesitation.

“Duke Edwin Boysa. It's been a long time."

The old man, who he was, was Edwin Boysa, the Duke of the old Rhine Kingdom.

Edwin smiles faintly and lowers his head slightly.

“It's been a long time since Swift Clark. ”

His voice was soft.

No, I wasn't exactly empowered.

Swift asked with a slightly surprised look.

“Do you know me? ”

Edwin nods slowly.

“Can you not know the Administrator of the Kingdom of Amaranth? Of course.......”

The old eyes sparkle and glow.

“I had a little relationship with my predecessor before that. ”

“Oh! With my father.......”

Swift was really surprised.

The deceased father was a baron and a local nobleman, so he was unknown.

‘And he died a little early...'

However, when the middle noble, Edwin, who represented the kingdom, told me that he had a relationship with his father, I couldn't hide my surprise.

“We just met on the way. ”

Edwin sits down with his hands clasped.

He continued to use respectful respect.

He should have, too, as Swift was now in charge of the administration of one country.

It was a bitter reality, but the Duke of the Mangrove was not to be trifled with.

Calian snorts as he watches the situation.

“Fox. Fox. ”

Shaking his head.

“We met on the way? Heh. You're a good liar. ”

He twitches his fingertips.

Swift looks at Kalian with his eyes wide open.

“This is Duke Edwin Boissa. To obscure the Word.......”

But I didn't finish the sentence.

Because, as he predicted, he could ridicule the duc, or the king, or the emperor, or any human being.

When Swift can't do this, can't do that.

“What's the point of a duc….. duc in a mangrove? ”

The laughter on Calian's face is powerful.

Swift was agitated and unable to speak out easily.

Edwin's expression, on the other hand, was surprisingly blunt.

He was still smiling faintly.

Calian turns his head to look at Swift.

“I'll make it easier for the three of us to talk anyway. This guy Edwin, he already knows. ”

“Yes? Well, what......? ”

Swift looks back and forth between Calian and Edwin.

Callian smiles and replies.

“The fact that I'm a dragon. ”

“Ah.......”

Swift sat down with a low sigh as if collapsed.

I had already anticipated it, but my whole body was shaking well because I heard it directly from the party.

‘It was a dragon. I knew it…..’

It was amazing.

The fact that the dragon that had been hidden for centuries is right in front of us.

But even more surprising.

"How did Duke Edwin know that Kalian was a dragon? ’

It took me a long time to figure out who Callian was, too.

The suspicious eyes move towards Edwin.

Edwin takes a short breath.

“I'm not proud of it, but my family has been studying history since I was a kid. ”

He looks back and forth between Calian and Swift.

“The very rare hair color, the appearance, the enormous level of magic you showed at the door of the mansion.......”

The smile on my mouth became darker.

“That's exactly what the Red Dragon Khalian describes in the family archives. ”

“You're a famous man. ”

Kalian raises his thumb with a fierce look on his face.

Swift just looks impressed.

‘The true power of a famous man lies in this long-standing knowledge, information and wisdom. ’

There was power, power, and wealth, but there was no power, and there was no power.

However, the long-standing record, history, did not disappear forever.

Kalian twists his legs and leans against the backrest.

“I am your companion. This is where we do our real work. ”

He points to Swift.

“You two be good to each other. ”

The briefly dazzled Swift quickly wakes up and snaps into position.

Edwin nods slowly.

Swift was a much more comfortable opponent to him than the dragon, Khalian.

“Did you get the letter? ”

“Yes, well done. ”

Swift nods slightly, placing his right hand on his chest.

It means that there is a letter in my heart.

Edwin smiles bitterly.

There was a lonely glow in both eyes.

“Give me back my son, Mills Boysa. ”

Swift showed no response.

This story was already written in the letter.

Edwin clenches his fist.

“In return…..”

My voice was trembling all the time.

“I will destroy the Holy Shrine. ”

This was also already written in the letter.

Swift sighed deeply.

‘From here on out, it's my turn. ’

He would have accepted Edwin's offer if it were true.

But things have changed now.

I no longer knew Latio's dreadful and hideous plan, and I needed to make a larger offer.

“Duke Boissa. ”

He used the title Duke.

His voice and attitude were respectful.

“I will send mills boy, as you wish. But.......”

Both eyes sparkled and glowed.

“There's one more thing we want. ”

“Hmm.”

Edwin spills a low tear.

You didn't expect to make another condition because you thought your offer wasn't bad.

He nods slightly, trying to calm his mind.

“Tell me. ”

A voice that is absurd.

Swift gazes directly at Edwin's eyes without opening his mouth.

A strange static settles down.

Gulp.

Edwin swallows a dry saliva.

The old noble was a little tired of Swift's energy.

Just then, Swift's silent mouth moves very slowly.

“Please take the imperial palace. ”

The difficult story flowed out very surprisingly.

At the same time, it was an impossible story.

“What the…..”

Edwin frowns.

However, Swift opened his mouth again, regardless.

“It's not destruction or control. ”

He once again emphasized in a clear voice.

“Received. Received. ”

Both eyes sparkled and glowed.

“Please take the imperial palace. ”

The same story came out again.

Silence settled in the reception room.
