Chapter 6: To the Final Battlefield

“It was the day before my eighteenth birthday. ”

I try to tell my wives a secret I haven't told anyone.

Of course, you can't tell the whole story. You can't say you died old and came back to life. You can't believe that.

“I had a dream that day. It was a strange... long dream. ”

“What dream? ”

Sis asked with curious eyes.

“I was an ordinary merchant who lived to 90 and died of old age. ”

“An ordinary merchant? ”

Julia chuckles.

I grinned Julia and Sis' head with a smile.

“Yeah, but it was so vivid that I really felt like I had spent 90 years of my life. When I woke up in my dream, I was an eighteen-year-old boy who had just become an adult, but I'd already been through all the repentance of life. ”

“Must have been a very long dream, huh? ”

“Yes. I'm not the chief. I mean, I really lived to be 90 and died. I still vividly remember every moment of my life passing through my mind when I die. ”

“In that dream, who did you marry? ”

Julia asked.

I said with a bloody smile.

“At that time, as a child merchant, I visited the Houdini family to buy grain. He had an old daughter who had not married yet, so he wanted to mate with anyone quickly. ”

“Eek? No way! ”

“Yeah, well, he's my brother-in-law now. ”

“That's weird! Did you secretly have a different heart with Leyra? ”

“Sweetheart, can you do that? I was still eighteen when I had that dream. I've never seen you before. ”

“How did Leyra get out of her dream if she didn't even see it? ”

“That's what I'm trying to say. In that dream, I lived a long life until I was 90 and watched the world change. The Great Plague, Black Death, and the Conquest of the Continent War of Kars... all of them. ”

“…… I don't understand. So you've been having these dreams since you were eighteen? ”

“Yes.”

I told them stories of my past life, disguised as dreams.

It was so detailed and vivid that they fell in love with my words.

In the story of Kars, who was born between me and Leyra, and conquered half of the continent, he laughed at his son.

“When I woke up from my dream, I was an eighteen year old boy again. The first thing I did was acquire spirituality and purchase grain for the Great Plague. Surprisingly, the events of my dreams have happened in real life. I started preparing for the events I saw in my dreams, and the results are as you know. ”

“I can't believe it! ”

“But it's true. I'm not the wise man of Lehden. I was preparing for what I had already seen in my dreams, and now I'm here. I didn't have the wisdom to predict the future. This is who I am. ”

I smiled bitterly.

“I feel a little comfortable telling you everything. On the one hand, it scares me. It was discovered that I was just a humble ordinary person.... Sis, Julia, are you disappointed in me? ”

Then he shook his head and put it in my arms.

“I'm not disappointed. I love you."

“Thank you, cis. ”

Yeah, well, if I hadn't come back, I wouldn't have met you, Sis. This lovely wife probably lost her life to an ogre in that forest back then.

“Honey... ”

Julia was also looking at me with tears in her eyes.

“Julia, what about you? ”

“Of course, I was never disappointed! Is that what you call it? ”

Julia screams as if excited.

“You can't achieve that much just by dreaming and knowing the future. It's her ability to change so many things. So it's admirable enough. ”

“ ……. ”

“Natural disasters like catastrophic famine and black blood disease have not changed, but the fate of thousands of people has changed with you. Look at me. Look at the sheath. Unlike our dreams, we became his wives. And think of our child Jis. Is this the little change that we've come up with? ”

“Not really. ”

“You see, nature's providence cannot be changed, but it's proof that human work can be changed. War is a man's business. ”

Julia held my hand tightly.

Warmth.

I also held her hand tightly. Three people connected as one.

“Please, come on. You can do it. You're a Caroc ligand. ”

“Yes... ”

“But if I can't, I can't help it. Let's run away with our families. Can't we just live somewhere else while our families are together? You told me you could run away if you fell into hell. ”

That said, I laughed joyfully.

“Of course. If the whole world goes up in flames, we'll fly to safety. ”

“You see, so stop worrying. ”

“Thank you so much, Julia, Sis. ”

I kissed my two wives.

I'm still not sure.

How I came back to life, how I came back to life. Why this miracle happened to me. If there is a God, what does he want from me?

I don't know about that.

But I'm sure of one thing.

I will do what I believe is right.

As I have tried so far, I will fight to make more people happy.

He was already preparing for a joint training to prepare for the field.

King Erik decides to march and within a week, all preparations are made.

“Here we go!”

King Erik gives the order to march.

A force of 260,000 troops has begun to move as one. At the forefront was the Royal Army, followed by the Royal Alliance, and at the rear by Royal Orion soldiers led by Raell.

I've been watching her and Julia, Sis and Jis from the walls. I decided to leave later because I would catch up if I flew anyway.

“That's a lot of gatherings. ”

Julia was amazed.

I shrugged.

“The Kingdom of Leaden has hundreds of times more people than I do. Isn't it a little ironic that the fate of all of them depends on 260,000 people? ”

“I don't know. Is it more troubling than my old nobleman's concubine who almost became my mistress if I hadn't met her? ”

I laughed bloody.

“But in the end, she became a huge statue called the Golden Lady." ”

“Somehow he kept making me money and singing that he wanted to retire, and there was a reason for that. ”

“Yes, of course. Dreaming of seeing the future puts the prosperity of our ligand family in your hands. ”

“Have you ever met me in a dream? ”

“We've met a few times. Around the time I was in my mid-40s? We met for a deal. ”

“How was it?”

“I was scared. He tried to peel me off. I had no choice but to heed your demands, for you held fast to the Orient side of the kingdom. I'm still confused as to whether that was a negotiation or a plea bargain. ”

Julia grabs the boat and laughs.

“Is that why you're so mean to me? Revenge then?"

“What is he talking about? What revenge? Rather, I fixed him. ”

“Honey, I wouldn't have succeeded anyway. ”

“I've been single my whole life. ”
