Tower of Karma

Alfred's impression of the kingdom of Grevillius was a small but well-maintained beautiful country, As far as I went, but there was a concept for each city, and it had a city structure according to it. This is not the case if the role is firmly defined from the time of its establishment and the city is built accordingly.

There is also a high awareness of beautification, which is clearly less debris when compared to cities that are not zero but of the same degree, instead grass, flowers and the like line up neatly.

It was more than seven kingdoms in size, such as a park in the central part of Wangdu, and on top of that it was seen in a well-maintained breeze with all the details.

"Oh, bless the weather, it's a great day, this is"

"Sandwich. Uh."

"Uh. Uh, it's good."

"Arms, I gave you"

"Haha, by the time my hands are healed, I don't seem to have a cook's seat"

One line I was taking lunch in the park. Ark was lying on his back to warm cheerfulness and had a blast of sleep. Alfred and Yelena are as conversational.

"Beautiful park."

"Nederdam and beyond"

"Arkas, Ulterior's a little weak around here."

You know, when you two were having casual conversations,

"It's an honor to compare you to such a big country and to compliment you, traveler"

An old man approached me who was working on the lawn with a sickle.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Al, this is Yelena, and as you can guess, we're going around the world."

"This is rude. I am a representative of this country, my name is Corbus. I am somewhat familiar with your Ark and it depends on what you say. I didn't think you were really asleep."

Hearing with delegates, Alfred and Yelena immediately correct their posture.

"I apologize for the disrespect. No way. Not with His Majesty the King."

"No, not even so frightened. I am only the representative of the Kingdom of Grevillius. I'm not a king, and my main job is to take care of this park, because I've already given up a lot of my role backwards."

"Not a king, you say?

"It seems that other countries, especially Estado, wanted me to be king, but I have never named myself king, and in the future, no one in this country will fool me with it. This is the Kingdom of Grevilius, traveler. The king must be the one who bears the name of Grevillius. It should be King Sven's lineage."

There was no sway in Corbus's eyes that spoke of it. Alfred stares at him with unbelievable thoughts. Decades have passed since its lineage was extinct from the Kingdom of Grevillius. We should have switched to a new system a long time ago.

That should have been the case, at least from the perspective of other countries.

"Is it strange?

"Yeah. Very much."

"Sure, memories will weather. More and more people are not clinging to Grevillius' lineage enough to go to the next generation. But in books, in oral passages, people can tell. A great deal of love from His Majesty King Sven, the Queen. So yet, the throne is empty in this country, and if we give up the resurgence of Grevillius, perhaps this country will take another way of governing without a king."

A man who speaks of iron loyalty without hesitation. Even in the absence of the person to point it at, it should be noted that this country will continue to wait if it believes what he says.

"What do you owe me?"

"His Majesty Sven was a man who valued the mechanism. Eliminate personal emotions as much as possible and govern them with mechanisms. That is the kingdom of the Kingdom of Grevillius. Long ago, even when my foolishness and His Majesty's son, His Highness Kai El, were collided on trivial matters, they gave fistbones to both sides, not to me who lay low, but to my foolishness and His Highness, who were supposedly both successful and defeated."

"Even a prince does not treat him special, but judges him equally," he said.

"Yep. Even the king was no exception to the mechanism, and a strict and decent attitude to everything looked very pretty. Your wife was wonderful, too. When His Majesty was given flowers for his birthday month, he was pulled massive amounts of grass flowers from Nedeluxe, his relatives saying it was sloppy that he was the only one he loved, and he threw his personal possessions and filled the whole country with grass flowers. It was something that was also being worked on in this park in undressed clothes, because it's a turmoil, which also requires these kinds of fun. I liked flowers more than gems, and they laughed happily."

"... it was much more ruinous to be brought to the Nedeluxe royal family at the time."

"We were surprised, too. I was wondering how classy people could come, because right now I was running around the country wearing clothes like I was wearing and planting flowers. It would also be your wife's influence for me to develop the park in this way."

It is an act that royalty does garden work and is still unthinkable today. Besides, it's nothing but bizarre if it's also a garden all over the country, not my garden destination.

Maybe that's why they love you for so long.

"And on Fate Day, the Estado army, led by El Sid, which appeared without any foretaste, came and this country was ravaged. The beautiful country was vandalized and turned into scorched soil with no grass left. Hate, woohoo, hate doesn't stop hating, because of the fierce sun!

The appearance of Corbus was dominated by hatred. The man who spoke so calmly about his past is changing and distorting his face.

"It was a night raid. King Sven also appeared in front of the gate as soon as possible in the raid, which I would not imagine, and saw its face and realized its defeat. You must have come this far in the shortest possible time. It crushed everything without stopping at a straight distance and came to our throats. Nedeluxe's support was not forthcoming in time, and it was an arduous and faster advance than anything else."

Corbus looks up to heaven.

"Above all, there was no reason. There was no reason to be attacked, and there was no reason to be vigilant. Already the enemy army is in front of us and His Majesty has ordered us to do so immediately. Give citizens evacuation guidance the highest priority and buy time with me and my immediate knight. It was an unbelievable order. Everyone flee because I will be a forsaken pawn, Your Majesty said so. Besides, we gave top priority to our citizens, and over the course of this period, we were not given special treatment for your wife and your Highness."

Corbus remembered that day and was in tears.

"No, as opposed to special treatment, you can say I've been truncated. That is royal duty, he said. With the knights he engaged with the fierce sun, and His Majesty was killed. Neither his wife nor his Highness went missing, and they could not find him more than they could find."

"... is that, uh..."

"Yeah. Where are you in the world? such as a king who offers himself his loved ones and tries to protect his people. Kings, etc. who let them practice, not just words. With the King's devotion, many citizens escaped the difficulties and thus came to regain what they once were. That day, there would have been a way for the king to abandon us and escape with his family. That's normal."

Because he did not take that path, the Royal Grevillius transcended his memory for this country and became a record, a history, a legend. Those who know the turbulent, turbulent world need not speak of how heterogeneous King Sven was.

"So we keep waiting. I can reward you for that, dreaming of a day like that. Well, it must have stopped already. Reality isn't so sweet"

I can't stop waiting while understanding it's a dream.

Alfred thinks grace is also a chain.

"You did leave a painting. I haven't seen a friend in a long time."

"This is Master Ark. You're up pretty late."

"Gahaha! I'm starting to say"

"Well, shall we come?"

"Sir, come too. You should see."

"I was going to follow you even if you didn't tell me."

At that time, Alfred did not understand the meaning of Arc's expression. Complex, an eye that decided to move on, not sure what to do.

It means...

"... Huh?

Well-maintained royal palace, rebuilt it remained where it was at the time. One painting decorated behind the throne, which is empty. By the way, whatever the burn marks are, it is one of the miracles that managed to spare the war. Seeing the painted figure, the boy breathed.

"... Again, yeah,"

"Sir learned the current state of Grevillius and one truth. What if it's Sir? I came all the way here with no answers. I know both thoughts."

"You know..."

"What are you talking about?

"No, anything"

Alfred stares at the painting so hollow. But there's no change in that person. Strict king, his standing looks just like 'that man', the eyes of the gentle queen of kings are the same shade as those of that parent daughter, even the shape of his eyes to his daughter.

And the smiling prince decided to beat him, and the shadows are so intense and still remain, depending on the age. There was nothing material to deny.

I can unhook everything I've ever done.

(What am I supposed to do? Perhaps' that guy 'doesn't want to come back. Because only' that man 'in this world should hate King Sven's choice. Still, can I be strong on them for life that just keeps waiting like this?

There was further chaos ahead. I know, I see more choices than I realize. Teach them or not.

Tell that guy, tell Kyle or not.

Three people said goodbye to Corbus and returned to the inn. Yelena, who couldn't keep up with the story and had no time, had gone to the rental shop to get some books. The subtle air of Alfred and Ark is hard to read.

"Think slowly. But don't forget, time is limited."

"Would you say that if you didn't choose?"

"My choices take a crappy bias from me. I have made every effort to make choices since I left the throne. I'm sorry, but I don't choose and I don't guide you."

"... ok. Give me a minute."

"Hmm. Sorry, it's Alfred."

"You can't be deluded by stroking your head, not at all"

"Gahaha"

Alfred gets one choice in the land. I get depressed when I think about it first, even though I get my head stroked and lit. If you make one, one of you will be forced to change irrevocably. There was still a lack of readiness and information to choose what was right and wrong.

Only a few answers to this encounter, the story ahead.
