Chapter 4, Episode 14 [Proof of Power] Part 3

Western Continental Calendar January 3, 2814 PM

Pinned and strained air dominates between glances.

Stand without the guards being slight as they pinch a crimson carpet laid straight from the door to the throne.

Behind it is aligned with civilians and martial arts officers on the left and right across the carpet.

I guess many of the civil servants are aristocrats with titles.

Silk garments made of plenty of gold yarn silver yarn were lit up with large grains of gems scattered around them as if they were symbols of their power.

Still, is it because of the noble blood that flows through their bodies that the outfit doesn't get nasty...

Even in the face of the crisis of the survival of their country, they are putting up their utmost vanity to preserve their face.

The same can be said of the knights who are martial officers.

Indeed, they wore armor and swords on their hips.

However, the elaborate design applied by skilled craftsmen makes them feel more like ornamental artwork than a weapon used in action.

(Well, it would involve the morale of a soldier in a very miserable outfit... Also, do you want to do it with the guys in this hand...)

Liang Zhen sighs in her heart while acknowledging the extent to which she has their outfits.

Based on my experience since I was summoned to this world, apart from my competent incompetence, I was just a bunch of people dressed in fancy clothes and not as dangerous to Ryo Trun as a high-profile nobleman...

"Go ahead, move on"

Listened to by the samurai beside him, Ryo Jan slowly began to advance towards the throne.

(Koitsu also...)

Between the sights stood Zlari, and the knights and the nobles.

It's really all sorts of emotions that come to their faces.

Joy, anticipation, disappointment, fright, ridicule.

These five emotions, roughly divided, swirl between these broad glances.

If it is a percentage, is there such a thing as joy or expectation of seven minutes of ridicule or disappointment in three minutes?

(I was hoping for reinforcements, but it was an anonymous young man like me who came, discouraged and deserved it)

Unexpectedly masochistic thoughts came to Ryo True's mind.

But on the other hand, Ryo True's cold part reads a variety of information from the surrounding situation.

(The numbers are... more than I thought. This is the difference between Lupis, who has just succeeded to the throne, and the human experience of defending the throne for nearly thirty years trying to be described as mediocre. Hey)

Though a court of all kinds of thoughts intersect, the fact that people are here means that Julianus I still has influence.

If this was an immature monarch like Lupis, the aristocracy running to self-preservation would continue.

In fact, in the early stages of the civil unrest, there were no nobles gathered under Lupis.

While many knights have no territory and live on salaries from their employers, nobility is a group with a strong meaning of independent forces in a sense holding territory, whether or not it is abundant.

For this reason, even if they maintain centralization with the king as its apex during normal times, once doubts arise about the king's ability to govern, they run to self-preservation without straying.

Given that, the kingdom of Zaluda today was still promising.

Of course, there will be traitors, and most people will be watching how things go, while watching how things go means that they still think the kingdom of Zaluda could win.

I wonder if it would be possible to have just a few percent.

But the feeling of a moment refuses to leave the royal palace, tying their aristocratic hearts.

It was only when they nobles became aware of the loss of their country and began to run to preservation without worrying about their surrounding eyes.

(Truth is, this was my last chance... good read. Lupis or Mertina? No, there's also the possibility of Count Bergston... which is ironic either way)

I was able to grasp the situation in my neighbor even if I didn't know what was going on in my country.

Ryo Jin desperately pushes and kills the squeamish that comes up.

In the meantime, Liang Zhen, who proceeded to the throne, noticed that the gaze poured on him contained cold emotions.

(It's closer to anger and intent to kill than it is to say...)

Liangzhen turned his face in the direction in which he felt his gaze in order to explore its origin.

(Those guys... they hated me a lot too)

In a corner close to the throne, the gaze bearers were solidified.

Everyone is the first person to meet.

So while you're there, what's in their gaze is something darker and clearer, not a scorn or a mockery.

In words, it would be hostility.

A luxurious costume compared to the surroundings.

I can see from their identity that they are quite tall.

And given their standing, they are also quite powerful...

In fact, identity and real power cannot always be equals.

While there are dukes like decorations without real power, there are also barons whose king's trust is heavily used as a proximity.

However, a group hostile to Liang Zhen seems to combine both identity and strength.

(CHUCKLES... troublesome. I don't know why it doesn't work at all or at all.)

The people who say it was during the civil unrest in the Kingdom of Roselia, who say it was a group now in front of them, and who say it was Ryo Michizawa, always seem destined to be hostile to powerful nobles and powerful people.

(But you don't have that gorilla... sure, he said Grahardt or something...)

Bearing in mind that he wanted to sigh at his own bad luck, Ryo Jin looked for Grahardt.

What bothers me most now is his position.

Grahardt's position during this glance should clearly indicate his position.

I don't see Grahardt's face as the knights stand in line.

When Ryo Zhen pointed his gaze in the direction of the throne, he saw Grahardt on the left hand side of the throne.

He, despite standing beside the king, wears armor and a sword on his hips, as do the other knights.

(Heh... that old man, you have a lot of king's trust)

The figure of Grahardt, standing as if to boast of his great stature, reminds him of the shield of the king who guards the throne.

(What that old man says is near the king's side... daytime attitude is more likely to be someone's inward wisdom after all... well I can't throw away the possibility of my own thoughts, but the most suspicious one is Elena... right)

The closer you get to the throne, the stronger and more stately that human being is.

But if you were to stand beside the throne, it would be a different story.

You can't just be an identity or strength.

You need to be trusted by the king as much as you are by your identity and strength.

Kingsguard Knights and SS Knights are the shields and spears of kings.

Still, if the king were to let him serve beside himself, I just think he has a lot of trust.

Is it similar in standing position to Meltina or Mikhail for Queen Lupis?

I deliberately sent such a human being out to welcome Ryo Trun to the outskirts of the Wang capital.

It is inconceivable that Julianus I knows all the details about a human being named Ryo Mitsuzai.

If there is such an elaborate information network, the Kingdom of Zaluda cannot be at such a disadvantage.

Someone has spoken to the king.

Naturally, there's some aim there.

(But even if Elena's proposal doesn't make sense without just enough metrics to accept it...... Julianus I or... better not lick it weirdly and hang it)

Ryo Zhen continued to squeeze and wait, kneeling in front of the empty throne.

Just stand still while the king, rumored to be mediocre, shows up...

"Well done. It was a long way off."

From above Ryo Tru's head, kneeling before the throne, a serene voice hung.

"Ha!"

"Yes, there is no need to be. Show me the face of Roselia's proud young hero. Your lord is not Zaluda's nobleman. Can you make this easier for me?

In the bright true eyes that raised their faces according to the word, the figure of an old man who grew a bright white beard abundantly.

The crown of gold, woven with red silk cloaks and over its head with brilliant large diamonds, proves the identity of the old man.

A serene face engraved with deep wrinkles.

The blue eyes were filled with sensible light.

Never a big physique.

I don't know the exact number because I'm sitting on the throne, but I can somehow see the figure in the middle of the middle meat.

But the atmosphere surrounding the old man is undoubtedly the majesty of the ruler.

Noble blood that has been handed down with cotton and a proven track record of surviving as ruler of a kingdom spanning decades.

They mingle together and intimidate Ryo True's body.

(Holy crap... this is Julianus I who was rumored to be mediocre... I can't believe people are rumored to be)

Indeed, the reign of Julianus I does not see any noticeable merit.

His own assessment would be neither acceptable nor impossible.

But in times of endless invisible warfare, the very fact that we have maintained our inherited territory may not be mediocre proof.

"Um, I heard from Lord Elena beforehand... I see"

Julianus I smiles calmly.

(I knew it was Elena's money...)

To the king's words, Ryo Jan grabbed one fact.

After all, an intimate relationship had been established between the King of the Kingdom of Zaluda and Elena.

"Now our country is under threat from the Altomere Empire, pushed to the point where it cannot be unplugged"

To the words, Ryo Jin nodded silently.

"But now that the reinforcements have arrived from the two countries of Misto Roselia, it is time to think of a good opportunity to reclaim the land, how about your lord's thoughts?

Liang Zhen shook her head quietly in the words of Julianus I as if to try.

Indeed, Mist, now that the reinforcements dispatched by Roselia have arrived, they look like a good opportunity to bet on the rise and fall.

In fact, many of the people standing in line during this glimpse were waiting for reinforcements to arrive for a showdown.

"Ho... you don't think your lord has a good chance?

"I'm not saying it's a good opportunity, but I'm also not saying it's a good opportunity. We would like to begin by reviewing the information we have gathered so far and giving you an understanding of the situation."

A twist arose from among the nobles, and the hostility that had been directed at Ryojin increased more sharply.

Is that a simple objection, or is there a reason...

Every man standing in this hall is swallowed by a bright and true attitude that speaks with dignity of his own opinion to the King's inquiry.

"Ho... a lot of caution."

The strong gaze of Julianus sitting on the throne shoots out Bright True eyes.

Those are sharp eyes as if trying to spot deep into your heart.

Soon the twist disappeared and silence reigned between the sights.

(No shaking eyes...)

Julianus I felt a strong will inside in Ryo True's eyes.

There's steel in the form of people.

(I wonder what way of life I can have these eyes at this young age)

Julianus I knew two humans with the same eyes as this young man, who looked back in grandeur at his own gaze before his eyes.

One was the patron saint of the kingdom of Zaluda, now the late General Berhares.

And the other was called [Roselia's White Military God] and Elena Steiner.

The light that dwells only those who have absolute within themselves and are certain of it.

"Be good... I want you to lend your lord's strength to my country with Lord Elena"

The sharpness of exploration disappears at some point, and a calm light returns to the eyes of Julianus I.

"Do your best, albeit slightly, and always win over the kingdom of Zaluda"

Liang Zhen droops his head quietly, swearing victory in front of the king.

"Hmm, I'm hoping..."

"Please wait!

When Julianus I nodded with satisfaction at Liang Zhen's reply, one man shook off the guard's restraint and advanced to the throne.
