I Became the First Prince

The king raised his hand and declared the meeting closed.

The king and the commanders, who set an example for me, left the conference room, and the court knight commander, who remained until the end, took his place out of the king's sight.

“It seems that Swordmaster is not all iron. ”

Then the king took off his mouth while there were only two left.

“I cut off the sky and held the power to overturn the earth," he said. "The body is still a human being made of bloodshed. How can I live and suffer and be sick?" ”

I said something unexpectedly, and I was groaning at night with fever.

“But you must know that many are watching. Your rude behaviour can degrade military morale and agitate many with your minor deviations. Therefore, you will no longer have to worry about others with reckless behavior, as you did yesterday. ”

An unparalleled reproach, if it had been before, I would have run for it, so don't worry.

But I didn't rebuke, I didn't set up a fitting. I just listened.

Because I don't know the worries in that long speech anymore.

The king continued his words harshly.

“Don't be arrogant, don't exaggerate. Beware of the sorcerers, and let the soldiers regard you as a wall that does not collapse. So let them regard your existence as a thousand horses. ”

The king's voice, which was ringing in the conference room, thumped and stopped.

The king looked at me.

“I haven't done that, but you can. ”

A creased eye touches the jaw.

“Your Majesty. The soldiers of the citadel already consider you like a wall, like a legion...”

“Now come and put your mouths to rest. You were incompetent and unconventional in my face. ”

I comforted the king without knowing it, and he laughed and told me the old story.

I really thought so at the time. He who was not a vessel sat on the throne and considered it only as a seat.

Later, I got to know the situation and understood it a little bit, but that did not mean that what I said to the king would go away.

“At that time...”

I kept my mouth shut and looked at the table.

“Raise your head. I'm not blaming you. ”

But the king did not mention his former work to rebuke me.

Rather, he reproached himself for being foolish.

“My eyes were darkened, and I could not see the nobles' salutation of the royal family rolling in the gutter.

The people who were afflicted with the terror of the nobles, whose ears were darkened, could not hear the sound of grumbling against the king. ”

So, three days later, when the royal family came and cried out for the kingdom's independence, only a few loyalists empathized, and the majority came to the point where they resented the royal family that provoked the empire to war.

“What difference does it make when the nobles of the kingdom plunder themselves, but the nobles of the Empire plunder themselves? How is it that the name of the earth is changed? How is it that the shape of the flying flag is changed? ”

It was as the king said.

400 years ago, the land was overflowing with people who were willing to die fighting for the kingdom. They would rather die fighting than be merged under the Empire's flag.

But not now.

The people who were weary of the plundering and terror of the nobles had no interest in who was the owner of the land.

I hated to admit it, but the kingdom's independence was no longer the will of the whole kingdom.

The king opened his mouth again.

“If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have ended up realizing it. If only the royal family had stood, everything would have stood. ”

But the voice was completely different from the previous one.

“She's not crushed by the power of fighting. I just chose. ”

It was full of self-help and self-reproach that began to strengthen the voice that sank indefinitely.

“It is more important in the presence of life and death that we make decisions without hesitation. If I wanted to live, I could live, but I didn't."

I glanced at the king with a glance at the sudden change.

A face as brutal as it was when I first walked into the conference room.

But that eye was shining without before.

“How could you not know that the bloodline of the Balohad family, the best in the kingdom, could not defend all the foreign nationals with the troops left in the kingdom? If she had walked and locked the gates of resistance, she would have known that she could have survived not four days, but even a month. ”

As I stared, the king poured out his words quickly.

“But she didn't. She did not wait for the wire in resistance. She welcomed the enemy from the outside. I knew I couldn't, but I did. What do you think the reason is? ”

I did not answer.

“This is because she wanted to show it to everyone. It was not the royal family that promoted the comfort of my people in the presence of tribulation, but the royal family that watched over the trampling of the people outside of tolerance, but the royal family that did all my work to protect them. ”

The king also did not want an answer from me.

“I wanted to show the true royalty who regarded the people as my own flesh. ”

The king's breath became slightly roughened.

“So there was a great deal of resentment that left the royal family. There is no cause for war lost by the royal family. ”

The king chose to hide for a while.

“Because I finally hoped to come back. ”

Then he went on to speak out again.

“She sacrificed my life and wished that the seeds of fire, which were only weakly burned within the palace's walls, would burn beyond the palace. ”

The coolness was such that the skin would develop in the negative.

“So that the fire may spread throughout the kingdom and rise like a wildfire. ”

The king kept buzzing.

How the Queen fought against the imperial invasion of the Kingdom.

And what kind of a last resort she had. I'll make sure there's no one in the kingdom I don't know.

How many times did the king speak before me?

“Someone might finger even the death of my dog as a propaganda writer. And someone might close their ears saying it's all a lie. ”

Then I could see the heat floating by the king's eyes.

“But I will give her life and make her a place where the flames she burns cannot reach. ”

It was passion and determination.

“If there is not enough fire, I will also be fire. ”

It was screaming, anger, and madness.

“That's the mission she left me. ”

The moment I realized the identity of the fever, my heart was pounding.

I've seen countless people with eyes like mine.

What path they're on and where they're heading. I knew.

And he said to the king, "Don't listen to me any more.

“Why do you only burn what is in the kingdom to add fire? If you command me, I will burn down their fortress and raise fire. ”

So ask the rapporteur to reconsider. I pleaded with the king.

The king laughed at the flute.

“Are you worried that I might be wrong? ”

An affection that I would never have said to me, and would never have expressed.

So I became more anxious.

I asked for some time and stock.

Finally, I was able to make a saying that I would consider it out of the king's mouth.

But my efforts were so vain.

Before the king finished contemplating, one evening after the full day, a slow blizzard struck him again.

Sword Hee, who became a Manshin Chang, came to the citadel through his fierce eyes.

One of the five surviving swordsmen, he was a black-footed half-elf, Gionne, who was left in the royal palace with the Queen's escort and Montpellier's watchdog.

His left arm was cut open, his sleeve was scattered, and his torn and crushed body froze in the blizzard and turned blue.

“Temperature?”

“Ahhh..."

Even at that time, I smiled brightly as if I was happy when I called on my name.

I jumped straight.

Before I came before him, the tempest was whispering, and he fell before me.

She quickly reaches out and supports her body so that she does not roll out into the cold snow.

Halfway through my arms, she shook one hand and shook it hard.

But I couldn't understand her sign language.

I just stared at her hand, ignorant.

No. There was not a single one of the five fingers that was long and white.

Later, when I realized that his sign language had not been conveyed to me properly, I quietly put my hand in my hand while the temperature gave up my hand.

Then I pushed her and brought her to my waist.

I looked at her waist.

She wraps a rope around her waist. Her waist was dying with a rope tied.

I hurriedly loosened the rope and stiffened it.

The rope around her waist was connected somewhere.

I rolled my eyes. I moved my gaze along the rope.

And I was finally able to reach the end of it.

It must have been a precious and clean cloth, but it was something that was piled up with dirty cloth while coming.

I looked at the temperature again.

Her lips twitched.

It was very difficult to understand what he was saying by forcing the muscles of his mouth frozen in the cold. But she persevered a few times and moved her lips and I became able to understand the meaning of the gear.

Your mother.

I hardened as I was.

I snapped my squeaky head and saw an object curled in a dirty cloth.

Heart tightened.

I reached out forcefully and peeled off the frozen cloth.

A blue frozen slaughter came out. A warped, frozen body appeared.

A Sutton skill reveals a headache stitched to the head.

It must have been so damaged that I couldn't recognize the look of my life, it was definitely the body of a woman I knew.

“Ah..."

At that instant, I heard a groaning behind my back.

I turned my head, earnestly hoping that the groaning was not the king's.

But my expectation was woefully that the king was looking at me.

Like a man with a white, bleached face.

“Lungs, Your Majesty. ”

I hurriedly covered the body and blocked the front.

Tubbuck, Tubbuck.

The king, who came stumbling, said like a squeeze.

“... out of the way. ”

A powerless hand pushed me.

I couldn't even resist that helpless gesture and was pushed away.

The king, who pushed me away, knelt on his knees.

“Ahhh..."

He reaches out and gives a twisted hand to the frozen body.

Then I brought it to my mouth and I blew my mouth.

But the hardened hands did not stretch out, and the cooled warmth did not return.

The king, who had been there for a long time, wrapped himself around the body's cheek.

“Argh..."

The groaning flowed through the king's nostrils.

“Ugh...”

The king, who took my cheek and attached it to the frozen cheek, grabbed the body tightly.

“Ahhhh...”

It's like a wounded animal.

“Hugh."

The king howled with the queen's corpse.

I turned my head, no longer looking at him.

Wounded Half-Elf in his arms.

Feeling her breathing slowly.

“Well done. Temperature. ”

Poor half-elf, who ran unrelentingly from the royal family, smiled brightly.

Then he quietly took a breath out of my arms.

Another of the poor women who had been slaughtered by Sigrun and who were now only five years old, pledged to live unharmed, even the survivors, fell apart.

I closed my eyes.

Wind sounded worse. But the king's screams were clear-cut in the roaring screech.

A long time has passed since then.

The body of the half-elf, who was breathing, was taken by Gunne, but I still couldn't get out of place.

I stood by the king who dragged the body.

I heard no more blurry noises.

The king was constantly whispering to the Queen's corpse, preventing anyone from coming.

Then the king arose from his place.

Snow encountered.

An empty-eyed man whose soul seems to have escaped.

I rushed to the king as my heart sat down.

“I need to find some clean clothes. We can't have a funeral like this. ”

Unlike my heart, the king's voice was so quiet, and the steps towards the citadel were unshakeable.

The appearance remained unchanged even during the next day's funeral.

The king proceeded so ferociously all the time.

He dug out the frozen ground in the blizzard and saddled the queen's coffin in the depths. The sword heel that led her body to the citadel was also saddled together.

“The day the kingdom stands, she will be buried again in the royal palace. ”

When the earth was finally covered over the two coffins, the king dressed in black growth quietly headed to the highest point of the wall.

The king who stands on the wall looks down at the soldiers with his sunken eyes.

“Sad.”

Then after a while I asked.

“I'm sad, too. ”

The king's voice echoes at the citadel as the wind blows.

“But now is not the time to be sad, but now is the time to be angry.

A king's voice that grows little by little.

“Then, where should that anger be directed! ”

“Empire!"

The soldiers used evil as if they had made a promise.

“What do they have to pay! ”

“Blood is fatigue! In death, in death!”

The blizzard that whispered in the middle of the shouting began to fade.

And finally, it completely stopped.

If the king decides to make the land of the empire a sea of blood and to kill all the empires and put their heads on the deck,

When they commanded that even the masons they had raised would be burned and that nothing they had made would be left behind.

“Death to the Empire! ”

“Curse the land of the wicked! ”

The army commanders and knights who were waiting for the march shouted out in anger and screaming, and even the most discreet commander cried out for revenge from the queen.

I looked at the sky as clear as a lie.

There was nothing more to stop the king from entering.

* *

The king proclaimed General Dongwon's decree.

All the nobles of the kingdom went to the front fort, and the nobles led the chariots and conscripts together, and set out on their way to the border. The Eastern fleet begins south as it cuts through the frozen sea, and the elite troops of the West begin to march towards the fortifications of the border.

All the knights of the kingdom, including the wire knights who took back the kingdom, began to gather towards the border.

It was the moment when the real war began that destroyed the destiny of the Kingdom of Valachro.
