I am the Monarch

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

Everyone looks surprised.

Manus Persian and many nobles opened their eyes wide.

No one seemed to have anticipated the situation.

Only Roan Lancefield looked at Abed von Persian with a expressive expression.

“When did you find out? ”

Abed looks at Roan's eyes.

Roan smiles bluntly and replies with a clear voice.

“When I heard Prince Reytas was dead and when the Dark Elves' identity was revealed, I felt overwhelmed. He was too calm after a fierce battle in front of his eyes. ”

Thanks to you, I feel like I'm hiding something.

Abed nods, his head wide open.

“Good eye. ”

Then.

“Your Majesty, what the hell is going on? ”

Manus still looks surprised.

Abed von Persion.

The rumors about him were not good.

It was known as a very incompetent, luxurious and entertaining corrupt king.

Manus and the nobles knew it as well.

In addition, in Roan's case, he remembered Abed as the incompetent king, not only this life, but the last one.

Was the rumor wrong? ’

When I thought about it, the answer came from the wrong place.

“This is what His Majesty looks like. ”

Roan, Manus and the nobles in the battle turn their heads in the direction of the voices.

“Ah.......”

Suddenly, low elasticity burst out.

The protagonist of the voice was surprisingly the Duke of Passewood Sitale.

He lowers his head slightly toward Abed.

“You're all right?”

Manus asks carefully with his attitude and voice.

‘I thought that Loland impersonating the Duke of Passewood meant that the real Duke of Passewood was in trouble…..’

The prediction went well.

P'Cewood is perfectly fine.

“Your Majesty kept me safe. ”

P'Cewood smiles and replies briefly.

The people's gaze shifts back towards Abed.

Abed smiles strangely.

“Everyone's surprised they're not as incompetent as I thought. ”

Scary to the end.

“Oh, no, that's not it…..”

“He's just so different from his usual self.......”

The nobles shake their hands in a bewildered look.

Manus, who was as surprised as they were, suddenly calmed down.

The stunning aura of his face became frozen cold.

“Your Majesty, have you been acting all this time? ”

My voice became sharper.

Abed nods, sitting on the throne.

“I can see that. ”

Very bold and bold.

Manus' fingertips tremble.

“What did you hide your identity for? ”

Fury blooms under a stiff expression.

Abed looks Manus straight in the eye.

“For the Persian Empire. ”

“For the kingdom? ”

Manus' face distorted.

The silent Prussian steps forward.

“His Majesty was renowned for his extraordinary talents and great character during his time as the Crown Prince. The people of the kingdom were very happy that it was wood worthy of being a member of the Royal Army. But the ideas of the surrounding countries were completely different. ”

His voice sank low.

His eyes darken with gloomy light.

“The Kingdom of Light, the Kingdom of Byron, and the Kingdom of Estelle did not want the Kingdom of Persia to become strong. He didn't want the members to come out. ”

P'Cewood's words continue.

“By the time you ascended to the throne, the deterrence and interference of the three kingdoms had become even worse. Otherwise, as our Persian kingdom, which is weaker in power than any other country, if they join forces.......”

“I had to worry about the mangroves. ”

It was Abed.

I smiled bitterly at his face.

Roan and the nobles nod slightly.

In fact, it was quite common with Abed.

Few countries would appreciate the presence of outstanding kings or talents in other countries.

Manus clenches his fist.

The situation itself was understandable, but anger was inevitable.

“So you pretended to be incompetent and avoided foreign eyes? ”

The voice that stood me up.

“Do you know what happened to that smoke? ”

In both eyes, there was a strong sense of healing.

However, Abed's expression was bold and bold.

“What happened? Has the kingdom perished? Or did the people of the kingdom starve to death? ”

“....... ”

Manus did not answer easily.

In fact, it was a curious part.

Even though Abed was a corrupt king who enjoyed incompetence and luxury, the situation in the Persian kingdom was not bad.

Unlike other kingdoms, there was no war like this, and the people of the kingdom lived a rich and relaxed life.

‘I thought it was because of Brother Reytas and the great nobles of the kingdom.......’

In fact, Abed must have been using his hands in the dark.

But that didn't make sense to Abed at all.

Horrible things happened in the royal family because he played a lie.

“You and I were sworn to each other because you, or my father, pretended to be incompetent. My father tried to kill me, and I killed him! ”

A blade of sunshine fills the battle.

Manus' eyes turn red.

Surprisingly, however, Abed remained calm and bold.

“I……"

His voice was low.

“Before I was a father, I was a monarch of a kingdom. ”

My eyes sparkled and glowed.

“I gave up my life for the kingdom. I thought it was the way to protect the people of this country. Do you think that I, who have lived a false life for the kingdom, can bring tens of millions of royal people to their deaths because of the lives of my two sons? ”

Scary to the end.

“Ulceration!”

Manus shouts.

His face rises red.

“This terrible tragedy would not have happened if you had appointed one of the two to be a prince and promised a throne, whether you were my brother or not! ”

A tremendous surge of energy erupted throughout the body.

Abed snorts.

“You're the one who's making a big fuss. ”

He looks directly into Manus' eyes.

“What Reytas was trying to kill you had nothing to do with me. If I made Reytas crown prince, would he have spared your life? ”

Manus is unable to answer.

I already knew the answer.

Abed's face hardens.

“Then, if I had appointed you king and promised you a throne, would Reytas have given up cleanly and retreated? ”

Manus, of course, failed to answer.

This also already knew the answer.

Abed shakes his head with a short sigh.

“You were destined to point your swords at each other. ”

Scary to the end.

“You knew that and you just watched! Why didn't you just kick me out? ”

Manus was crying.

It was a hot tear mixed with anger and sorrow.

Abed sets one hand on his forehead.

“You still don't understand. Manus.”

He kicked his tongue lightly and was a hind horse.

“Reytas and you, one of them was destined to die. ”

“What's that supposed to mean? ”

Manus' voice trembles loudly.

“You two are so much better than I thought. It was nothing compared to me as a prince. But it was a blessing and a curse. The kingdom began to split in two. ”

“I've never done that. ”

Manus protested.

Abed bursts into laughter.

“It's completely irrelevant of your will. ”

It was true.

There have been nobles and forces who have followed and supported Manus since before he thwarted the Union attacks on Byron and Istel kingdoms and defeated his reputation.

It had nothing to do with his will.

“It was a fight that wouldn't have ended if one of them hadn't died. In that sense, Reytas was definitely clever. ”

Abed smiles bitterly.

“It was only earlier that he realized that he had to kill you before the kingdom, the people, and himself were safe. But with the unexpected appearance of an uninvited guest, everything fell apart. ”

His gaze leads to Roan.

Manus bites his lower lip.

Abed takes a long breath and speaks in the background.

“Manus.”

His eyes twist in the air.

“When you ruined Reytas' assassination plot and captured him..."

His voice was once again lowered.

“Then you should have killed Reytas. ”

Boom.

Manus, as well as many of the nobles in the war, gripped his teeth in shock.

Abed's expressions continue to sound gruesome and unspeakable.

Abed's gaze becomes hot as he looks at Manus.

“People who didn't have to die lost their lives because you didn't kill Reytas with your heart, and because you didn't clean up the forces following him. If I had my way, the kingdom would have fallen. ”

“Well, that's..."

Manus does not speak easily.

The matter was already greatly reflected and regretted.

He breathed for a moment, then shouted once more.

“Rather! If you were so worried about the kingdom, you could have killed one of us with your father's hands! Then innocent people wouldn't have to die! ”

Abed sighs for a moment.

“Manus, you're young and young again. ”

He shakes his head and speaks in the background.

“If I kill either of them, will the nobles and the forces that followed me convince them and retreat? Plus…..”

I felt a rush of energy in my voice and eyes.

“I wanted a better man to succeed the throne for the kingdom and the people of the kingdom. ”

I was truly cruel and cruel.

Manus trembles with all his might.

“My father.......”

Both eyes are now red.

“Have you ever loved me and my brother as a child, as a son? ”

My voice was also trembling profusely.

Abed takes a deep breath.

“As I said before.......”

A short answer followed.

“Before I was a father, I was a monarch of a kingdom. ”

He chose a country instead of a family, and a son instead.

Manus closes his eyes.

Trying to get rid of anger.

Abed, on the other hand, seems to have put down a heavy load.

“Manus Persion. I'm giving you the throne today. ”

A bold voice struck my ear.

Bang!

I opened my eyes wide as if everyone was shocked.

It was so sudden.

But Abed had not hesitated a bit about his plans for a long time.

“For decades, the Persian Empire has grown side-by-side with the surrounding three kingdoms. You don't need to see them anymore. ”

He slowly got up from his seat.

“Everything was perfect. You overcame Reytas' cancer system and gave him credit, but Reytas rebels again and draws his sword at you. You took care of the people of the kingdom at the risk of your life and eventually conquered the rebellion and inherited the throne. ”

Abed has a smile on his mouth.

“That is literally the beginning of a hero. The peoples of the Persian Empire have a great king to leave a mark on history. ”

He takes off the crown with both hands and extends it forward.

“Manus, wear the crown. You would be able to bear the weight of this crown. ”

I felt a slight tremor in my voice.

I didn't know whether I was nervous, excited, or sad.

Manus looks at the crown before his eyes with his eyes closed.

He was still trembling perfectly.

“Do you think I'll leave you alone when I'm king? ”

A cold voice flows in the wind.

“Are you trying to kill me? ”

Abed smiles and asks again.

Manus raises his head a little more and looks Abed straight in the eye.

“Don't you think Pawaczyhan, who killed your brother, can't kill his father? ”

That made Abed's smile even darker.

“If you kill me.......”

His voice was still bold.

“The world will think of you as a hero who killed a corrupt king and saved the kingdom, who used to be incompetent, luxurious and entertaining. ”

Suddenly, a low sigh erupted from everywhere.

Abed von Persion.

He weaves plates to keep Manus from killing himself.

Abed truly devoted his entire life to the kingdom.

Manus trembles.

“You're really disgusting. ”

“I've been hearing that for a long time. ”

Abed hesitates, placing a crown on Manus' head.

Manus neither dodges nor retreats.

You just stand tall and stare into Abed's eyes.

“From now on, you are the monarch of this country. ”

Abed lets out a long breath with a hollow expression.

“No matter what you think, I don't regret my decision. I was a Persian monarch, and I did what I had to do as a monarch. ”

I had a bright smile on my mouth.

Manus frowns, looking at that smile.

“You laugh well under these circumstances. Do you have tears, too? ”

Abed nods lightly.

“The day I shed the most tears in my life was the day you were born. ”

“......? ”

A curious light flashes into Manus' eyes.

Abed taps Manus on the shoulder and replies briefly.

“I was so happy and sad. ”

It was complicated.

But nothing was more accurate than that.

Abed, the ruler of a weak country with no power, looked forward to the terrible tragedy that would unfold the day Manus was born.

Manus closes his eyes again, impatient.

Slashing fury.

At that moment, Abed's eyes, which had never been firmly shaken, trembled very well.

‘Manus, poor boy. Forgive this wretched father. ’

I remembered the light in my eyes.

‘You will live grumbling against this wretched father. Now he will lay down his crown and draw the sword of vengeance that has been sharpened and polished for decades. ’

Unknown sound.

Abed still had a lot of secrets.

At that moment, Manus closes his eyes and looks straight at Abed.

“I will not be a father like you, nor a monarch. ”

At that, Abed bursts into laughter.

“I don't know….. will that work for you? ”

His gaze continues towards CeCewood.

A letter is handed to you by P'Cewood, who was by your side.

Manus takes the letter with a slight frown.

You hear Abed's voice in your ears.

“A shrine sent to the Holy Shrine. ”

“Holy Shrine?”

Manus frowns and opens his letter.

“Hmm.”

Immediately, I squeezed my lips and low tears poured out.

My face became stiff.

Abed looks at Manus like that.

“Now, this is my first choice as a monarch. ”

A short question followed.

“Friendship or kingdom? ”
