I Became the First Prince

87. 28. Nobility, Prince, King, and Empire (3)

The royal throne was overturned by the advent of an infinite army.

The out-of-town army was extremely threatening to the citizens who had only seen the royal soldiers dressed in plain clothes all the time.

Sitting down in the dirt with long journeys, they would have been left hanging, and their eyes and spirits seemed very strong.

Citizens were terrified that day, fundamentally different from the royal soldiers.

A four-year-old citizen asked the Guardians of the Kingdom about the identity of the army, and through him it became known that they were the Northern lords and their soldiers.

However, the anxiety felt by the citizens of the royal family remained.

“But why are they not coming in and doing that? ”

“Did you eat something bad? ”

Citizens flogged anxiously looking at the wide open gates.

One of the merchants who stayed in the royal palace made a cautious guess.

“Just so you know. The story of the royal empire abandoning the North in the last war is flowing in secret. Maybe it's not some kind of protest that they're coming to the royal court...”

“This guy's a genius. They eat expensive food and they bullshit again. ”

A citizen who heard the merchant's story snorted.

“It was only yesterday that His Royal Highness, the two princes who participated in the Northern War, returned. Don't make any sense. Watch your mouth. Then you tell Sir. ”

“No, that's not it. Listen to me. When the winter castle collapsed and the north became a blubber field, the royal family... huh? ”

The merchant who talked about it as frustrating hardened. When it appeared, the king also had a guard around them.

“I tried to harm the kingdom's firearms with lies and forgery, and this is what I wanted. ”

“No! That's not it! Oh, my God! I made a mistake! ”

While the merchant regretted making fun of his mouth late, he fell down and apologized, but the royal guard was gone. The merchant was dragged to the guard with his hands tied to the win-win line.

Similar sightings were happening all over the province.

“Citizens of the Kingdom are very anxious. The northern army stationed outside the castle has a special meaning. The royal soldiers are holding the author's citizens, so the anxiety is multiplying. ”

The two princes, Maximilian, who heard the report of Suzu, rose from the throne.

“I have to go to His Majesty. ”

The Maximilian, who said that, went straight out of my palace.

The atmosphere of the royal palace is rarely disturbed as the two princes leave their wombs and head to their father's office. The situation outside the king's province has spread all the way to the royal palace.

Maximilian hastened to take a step.

After a long walk, I saw a stranger middle-aged.

“Marquis Villefeld. ”

Marquis Villefeld, who recognized him, bowed his head.

“Your Majesty...”

“I think you're on your way to His Majesty. ”

Maximilian sees the Marquis. The expression was not good. The story didn't seem to go well.

“Your Majesty, I'll tell you what, just plant it and go. ”

“Then this old man will only believe in you and retreat. ”

Even so, Marquis did not notice what he was expecting.

Maximilian, who separated the Marquis, headed straight to the King's office.

“Tell me.”

In his words, the court knight who was guarding the front office carefully knocked on the door and announced that the two princes were ready.

“Stop. ’’

“Here you go.”

Beyond the gates opened by the court knight, I saw the king.

It was a face that seemed uncomfortable to plant. But he was only a moment away, and the king's face was brightened when he saw his loving son.

“Your Majesty..."

“Come here. Nothing is so hard in front of my father. ”

Maksimilian looks at his father with a light kneeling bloom.

“Have you eaten? If it's still an aperitif, let's do it together. I was going out, too. ”

The softer the voice, the stiffer Maximilian's expression was.

“Peha. ’’

“Yes, tell me. ”

“Your Majesty. Brother 20,000 and the lords of the North enter the castle. ”

The frost suddenly hit the king's face, which was as hot as the spring breeze.

“They didn't come in, not me. ”

Maximilian sighs in a voice as cold as his face.

“As an example of a victorious army, they would also be willing to join the royal family. ”

“Unusual and unpleasant. ”

The King frowned.

“Did they fight alone? The royal family was together, and the lords of the Middle East were there as well. You can't just give them a victory. ”

Maximilian sighs secretly once again.

It was a force.

The viceroy probably knows.

Nevertheless, the viceroy continued to stretch the reason for his inability to listen to his demands.

“Your Majesty, if you do not greet them with a great greeting, who else would sacrifice their lives for the kingdom like a rooster? ”

“It is my duty to be born a nobleman of the kingdom, to defend my territory and to defend my country. Who was there, not them, would have done the same."

In the past, I believed that word straight away.

It was only natural that those who were born noble to him in the past fulfilled their duties and responsibilities.

There were also corrupt nobles, but only a few thought so. The majority of nobles who led the kingdom thought they were real nobles who knew honor and devotion.

But it wasn't.

Only after leaving the royal palace did the reality begin to look upright.

With the imperial encouragement, I saw the pretenses of the lords who saw the Winter Castle crumbling, and I saw the lords of the Middle East who had abandoned the defensive ship and fled with my own eyes.

There were far more greedy pigs than nobles.

The kingdom was already rotten as it was rotten.

Only the viceroy didn't know that.

Maximilian made a bitter laugh.

If he had not gone out of the palace and seen the reality of the kingdom, he would still have sympathized with the king and blamed them for not being noble.

But the emotion he felt now was unbearable turtle.

“If the lords of the North had supported winter in the first place, there would have been no such thing. Their sacrifices are selfish, and their demands are foolish to ignore fruit and bring forth only balls. ”

I felt humiliated when I saw the look on the face of the viceroy speaking Gatansre. I no longer see the King of Chama. I turn my head.

In the meantime, the King continued to criticize the behavior of the Northern lords.

“Since the lords of the north have no manners and are immersed, the demands like mine are not like those of the north. I also knew the vanity and the darkness of Sari from someone so mean...”

At some point, the arrow of accusation against the lords naturally turned to the first prince.

“Because of his vanity, the citizens of the Kingdom tremble with anxiety, and the high places that the soldiers will suffer are not inside. Because of my poor vanity, soldiers who have come all the way from the north can't go to bed warmly, and I don't think so...”

“Your Majesty.”

Maximilian no longer listens and Gear opens his mouth.

“Now is not the time to rebuke their nobility, but to count and embrace the circumstances of their hearts and territories that have been ravaged by the scourge. ”

Of course, the king's face hardened when he publicly expressed his opposition, which he thought would sympathize with.

“They don't want great prizes, they don't ask for anything else. It's just a victory ceremony. It's not hard for them to listen to what they're asking for, it's not a big loss. It's just a victory ceremony. ”

Or not, Maximilian spills out what he has to say.

“It has to be a long day to march along the boulevard of the royal family. ”

Seeing his father's face as a child was certainly heartbreaking, but someone had to step up and convince the viceroy anyway.

Besides, he said he would go back if he did not accept himself as an example of a victorious army. Even as Manshin Chang, Gear had to slaughter the twelve lords in the north.

If things really go that far, the North and the Royal will not even have a chance to touch the mistrust that has sprung from the last war.

“Your Majesty, one word is enough. A word to open the gates and greet them is enough. I'll take care of everything after that. ”

Maximilian repeatedly asked, and again asked.

“You...”

There was an unacceptable feeling in the face of the viceroy who saw him.

“Your Majesty, please count their hearts with one word. ”

The king, who had been looking at him for a long time, turned away.

“Go back.”

“Your Majesty.”

“Your petition will be done. ”

The viceroy finally let me win. But what the viceroy heard was not the demands of the north, but the demands of Chinam I care about.

Maximilian, who knew the difference better than anyone else, was very worried about what happened after they entered the royal family.

The eldest son who left the royal palace like he was expelled was no longer a fingertipped celebrity, nor was he an immature son who could keep his father in the palace for a few words.

Sasaroy is a war hero who ended the outbreak in the north and, publicly, the seventeen lords of the North Rhinelandes.

The presence was never light enough for the Viceroy to give only the King's majesty.

I just wanted Viceroy to realize that quickly.

You won't have the same references as before.

“They will be greatly impressed by Your Majesty's thoughtfulness. ”

I hid the complicated judgement and gave a compliment to my mouth. Then Maximilian, who had left the office, immediately found the palace white and the royal guard commander.

“Prepare for the victory. ”

In a cluttered atmosphere, the face of the palace white and the captain of the defence brightens.

* *

It wasn't so hard to turn anxiety into cheer.

It was enough to inform citizens of the trials the North had overcome.

The citizens, who had just walked in and locked the door with a sense of insecurity, opened the door and ran out to see the faces of the warriors once.

They looked at the royal gates with a countless expectation. But they couldn't even hear the cheers that were in their mouths.

The first person to show up was the royal defender who was shot by the Insol clan. The horsemen of the royal palace dressed as always, followed by the armies of the north.

“Ugh!”

“Argh!”

Citizens on the boulevard screamed. The royal soldiers who were in control of the citizens also threw up their flags.

Then the army of the north touched them.

Seventeen flags, each representing its own northern family, were screaming.

That wasn't a flag.

Instead of the cloth that embroidered the symbol of the family, I couldn't call it the flag that blossomed the head of something.

Big dark green headache with long tongue removed.

Among the citizens who encountered the red-eyed man who died, those who turned their eyes and fainted were deceived.

Immediately, according to the royal order, the soldiers of the royal family made every effort to calm down the citizens.

Maximilian, who was watching the view from a distance, put his head on it.

“I told you I'd keep you in the winter castle...”

The black spearheads gave me a flag, because it was Warlord, the king of monsters who made the North a shameful field.

It was not unusual for citizens of the royal family to smoke the courthouse.

Maximilian sighs.

I didn't know why I wanted to march in the screams with cheers and flower paths.

When I had to understand your thoughts, he didn't have to worry. As always, it won't be long before you know what it means.

But that belief was also brief.

Ugh.

When he finally reached the front gate of the royal palace past the citizens, he leaned his head toward the nobles who had come out of the courtyard.

“Hiiyap!”

“Argh!”

My brother said he saw the frightened nobles smashing his ass.

When Maximilian saw it, he thought that his actions, which he thought would mean a great deal, might be simply because he wanted to pick up nobles or show off his loot.

Phew, whew.

I noticed that the nobles, who were stirring the pole around, would swing Warlord's head until they were unconscious.

“Brother.”

Maximilian steps forward with a trembling face.

“Maximilian.”

“Thank you for coming a long way. ”

“I told you it wouldn't take long. ”

As always, Maximilian laughs in his arrogant, self-confident tone.

“Welcome back. Brother.”

A prince smiling at his brother's hospitality raises his head.

The exterior wall of the royal palace, the spear on the high ground, there was a king with a stiff face.

Hedgehog.

With that cold look, the prince raises his mouth.
