72 Birthday of coronation.

By the morning of dawn, I opened my eyes to the busywork.

Outside the door, I hear the sound of sneakers continuing, and the sound of maids chattering. I put the blanket over my head, but it was still noisy.

It's been a long break.

But I couldn't get it to be quiet. Today is the day of Padilla's coronation. Now, the Tohu Palace was spending a busy day preparing for the coronation.

I could not stand it. I changed my clothes and went outside. I thought I should go out and eat breakfast.

“Huh?"

When they came out of the hallway, they could see Nazir and Bayan passing by, beating each other. They still don't look so good, but they stick together all the time.

When Nazir and Bayan saw me, they hurried to greet me with a cape.

“Master, are you awake? ”

“Yeah, but where are you both going? ”

“I'm going to scout the troops. I'm supposed to leave for Morejores Island. ”

I still live hard. I hold my head back.

“Go be good. Call me if you get in trouble. ”

“Yes.”

“Instead, you get double the pay. We haven't built a portal tower on Jores Island yet, so it's going to take a while. ”

Nazir and Bayan smile joyfully.

“Yes.”

“Then go. ”

“Yes. I'll see you before I go." ”

“Yes, come. ”

I watched Nazir and Bayan as they were leaving. Their rank in this war will be the rank of the baron if they hit the continent with the fifth vomit.

Although he received a low rank for winning the war, he was quite advanced considering his position to become an ordinary citizen in the past. Moreover, Nazir and Bayan still had a chance to build a big ball. It was the development of the island of Jores and the eradication of abundant horses on the island.

Perhaps if we succeed in completing the mission, we'll be able to climb to the top three or four.

I walked down the hall scratching my ass.

At that time, an old man approached me with a touching face and kissed me on the back of his hand, grabbing the hand that just scratched his butt.

“It's an honor to meet you. ”

I took my hand off with a frowny look.

“Sexually?”

“Yes. Didn't you win a great victory with the blessing of Lady Yang last time? ”

“It's not a blessing. ”

“I was impressed by the tale of this old man and his hero. Surely God is great, holy, and it is time to establish my faith immediately. Thank you."

The old man is said to be one of the envoys from my homeland, the Yosrahim Empire. He introduced himself as a believer in a faithful Lamb.

I scratched my head slightly and smiled beautifully. I think I've heard that name before, but I don't remember it well.

“Oh, really? ”

“If you see Lady Yang, please ask her to pray for me. I don't get along well with the most powerful politicians in the empire these days, so every day it's spineless. ”

“Okay, go now. ”

“Yes, please. ”

I took away the annoying old man and went outside.

The spring season came quickly, and the garden was full of flowers. As always, the sky was clear, and the spring breeze from the mountains was very refreshing.

If there was one flaw, it was two men and women walking in the garden.

A middle-aged, flower-like, beautiful virgin. A couple that really didn't fit in, but I couldn't walk that well.

A middle-aged man looked at me and hurriedly walked with his lover.

“Master. I see you're here. ”

It was Arkham, soon to be married to the daughter of Braam Tohu.

“Ah, General Arkham. By the way, is that lady next to you? ”

“Yes. Say hello to Anisha, my father. ”

“It's an honor to see you. I'm Anisha."

Anisha greets you politely. I glanced at her, and stabbed Arkham in the side.

“I envy you.”

“Thank you."

Arkham smiles faintly.

I stared at Arkham with a sad expression. I had recently advised him to receive the land of a coastal city with a high probability of development, and I refused and made a very non-calculable choice.

“Then why did you go to Braam? Just a little bit more and we'll be out of international trade. ”

“It's my homeland. It's my wife's hometown. ”

“I thought you changed your last name to Braam? ”

“Yes, because I want to keep the name of my homeland intact. It's also in honor of my ex-husband, who died unfairly. ”

“It doesn't matter. Anyway, work hard. Still, Braam is the front line to defend the Bastein Empire, so they'll have plenty of support in the center. ”

“Yes.”

“Goodbye then. ”

I left to not interrupt the two men's and women's dates. Almost at the front door, I could see Qasim rushing into the palace.

He yelled at me like he was going to fight me.

“Master! You haven't started yet, have you? ”

“What?”

“The coronation.”

“Are you here now? ”

“I saw a storm the day after tomorrow. What? Hahaha.”

Qasim's outfit is luxurious, but covered in dirt and looks very dirty. It's just the way it is.

“Relax. It's a long way to go. ”

“Phew, thank God. ”

“Go wash your clothes. You can't go to the coronation like that. ”

“Yes.”

Qasim rushes away, and I call him back.

“Oh, Qasim? ”

“Yes?”

“They're organizing a private fleet. Really? ”

Private Fleet is a nation-authorized pirate. It was a new job, like being from a true Desert Bandit.

“Hahaha. Yes. ”

“What kind of pirates does vomit? Get your shit together. ”

“But we also need private pirates to protect our naval trade routes, don't we? ”

“Of course it is, but now it's not enough. You got a long way to go to make some money. ”

“That's okay. Catching marine magic now is a lot of money. The price of essence has been playing tricks on me lately. Hahaha.”

Essence prices have skyrocketed around the world today. In the past, it was a magician's unique artifact, but it was also a very useful resource as a national military strategy, given the recent appearance of mace guns and the re-evaluation of the magical grenade launcher.

As a result, countries on the continent were entering essence purchases in bulk at the national level, and prices were naturally skyrocketing.

“If you're going to catch marine magic, use harpoons. ”

“What's a harpoon? ”

“It's a camo with weak power that fires harpoons. We're going to develop it at the Weapons Lab. Use it later. ”

The harpoon was originally a weapon and tool used to lift a dead magical object outside the castle on the walls of the Age of Destruction. to pull out chaos pieces that are the ingredients of essence.

However, harpoons are also quite useful for catching marine magic.

“Yes, I understand. ”

“Well done, then. ”

“Yep.”

I glanced at Kasim as he was leaving.

That human has a pleasant and prosperous eye for the future. Thanks to you, he was the leader of the Great Desert Bandits, but he seemed to be doing well on his own.

I haven't seen kids who can't work for a nice guy with bright profits. These people can't work, but the underlings can.

"Huh?"

Out the front door and into the mansion, I found a paved wagon situated under the fence of a mansion.

It was Zenbe's wagon.

Padilla said she'd give me a castle, but she refuses and goes around trembling. It's hard for Orcs to serve Humans as lords.

It's a real concern, by the way.

I don't know what to do with a wagon in a high-end mansion like this. I can think of it as forgiving just because I wasn't expelled, but maybe it's natural. There are no warriors in Kara to drive Zenbe out. Maybe that's why the owner of the mansion is beyond the fence.

"Yeehaw! What's that human monarchy? ’

But there was another Human Orc as a guest. Not long ago, he was a bald old man who went up to Duke. He recently came to Kara as ambassador to the Kingdom of Bastein, and was struck down by Zenbe all the time.

I approached the pavement wagon and sat next to Duke Fabious. Zambe welcomed me.

“Is the human here? ”

“Yeah, but what's with the wagon this morning? ”

“This old man won't go. ”

Zenbe gives you a glimpse. Looks like they've been open all night. I bruised Duke Fabious.

“Hey, Grandpa. You have to think about yourself.What if you take it off all night? ”

Duke Fabious raises his glass, slightly intoxicated.

“I'm not dead yet. ”

“I know, but don't you have to sleep if you don't want to die? And then there's the coronation. Do you want to sleep there? ”

“Hmm. Not with the face of the great nation." ”

“If you know, go to bed. ”

Duke Fabious pulls a single gold coin out of his arms and places it on the table.

“Farewell, then. I'll see you at the dinner party. ”

“Right. Good night. ”

Duke Fabious suddenly stops on his way out, glancing at me in secret.

“By the way, white cotton? ”

“Why?”

“Earl Boris was captured not long ago, and he said some strange things. ”

Earl Boris was the only one who knew the ins and outs of the last rebellion.

I had the most innocent face possible.

“What do you mean? ”

“He told me everyone was fooled by you. You did all the work you had to do to get us off the hit list or to get us to react? What the hell is going on? ”

I put my hand on it.

“Oh, you're blaming me for your life. If you want to live, what can't you say? ”

“Of course I do, but it seems King Bastein thinks you did, too. ”

“Just my qualifications. Honestly, how could an ignorant swordsman like me pull such a prank? ”

Zambe speaks alongside her.

“This one's a hundred times over. I know what I've been through. ”

“Oh, come on! Ouch!”

Duke Fabious stared at me with his narrow eyes.

“Are you sure you did this? ”

“No. Honestly, what's in it for me if the Kingdom of Robos falls?" I'm a free man. I did this war quest for a living, but all I had to do was get the Bastein army back then. Why change your dynasty? You're not doing me any favors. ”

“In the meantime, wasn't Kara able to build a stable kingdom? ”

“Of course, I'm curious about the answer to that, but it's really unfair. Look at my colorful eyes and my beautiful face. Do I look like someone who would cheat? ”

“Yes.”

“Oh, my God! No, he's being deceived by that Earl Boris. How clever he is. They're just saying there's no evidence. ”

Duke Fabious nods freely.

Though he still seems to be suspicious of me emotionally, the duc is ultimately in a position to believe me.

If it's true that I'm playing games, then the legitimacy of the Kingdom of Bastein is severely compromised. From the standpoint of the Kingdom of Bastein, Earl Boris' word must be false, even if it is true.

“Not really. Got it. I'll be going in then. ”

“Okay, bye. ”

As Duke Fabious leaves, Zen begins to clear out the utensils and kitchen knives. Looks like we'll be closing the sale here today.

“Are you going too? ”

“Yes, business hours are over. ”

“What about my food? ”

“Come next time. Free customers don't just hand over hours to feed their beautiful customers. ”

I picked up the gold coins that were on the table.

“What's the matter? I have money. ”

“Isn't that the old man's money? ”

“That old man's money is my money, and my money is my money. ”

Zambe took the gold coins from my hands.

“Never mind. I have to go to bed soon to attend the coronation. ”

“Really? Then there's nothing we can do. ”

I just let Zambe go as much as I could. It looks like he's coming as a paralytic, but it's bad to be looking at him with a long face like this.

The coronation was largely performed during the gathering of all ceremonies and congratulatory missions from each country.

When the crown was placed on Padilla's head from Shura's hands, all attendees raised an example of congratulations, and the cheers of the people echoed throughout Kara's city center.

It was the moment Kara, a mere city-state, was reborn as a kingdom.

Lazar steals tears all the time to see what makes him so happy, and Udine dodges somewhere slightly to hide his violent emotions.

Armida and I, who were soldiers in the rear, took a moment to come down and have a drink of banquet wine. The ceremony was held for a long time, so I was strangled.

“Brother, that's great. Right?"

“Well, it better work. ”

“Why? What's the matter again? ”

I shrugged.

“There are many difficulties in the early days of building a kingdom. There could be unintended rebellion, there could be multiple diplomatic relationships. ”

“Will there be a rebellion? You have a sister, right?”

“Sure, but setting up diplomatic relationships can be a bit troubling. ”

“Why?”

“A small country has no neutrality. So Kara has to stand up for whoever she wants to stand up for, which makes this a little tricky. Standing on the Empire of Yosrahim will cost the neighboring kingdom of Bastein, and stand on the shoulders of the Kingdom of Bastein will be a worldwide scourge. ”

“But wouldn't it be better if Shura helped? ”

I hold my head back.

“Of course, if Shura takes the lead, the Yosrahim Empire will be in control. Your repairman is a piece of cake in Shura's mouth. But Padilla's gonna have to do better than that. ”

“Well, she's queen now. ”

“Yes.”

Shra, who was surrounded by the crowd, came to us seeking forgiveness from everyone. It seemed like an excuse to run away.

“Master. Master. ”

“Yes. Welcome. It was hard, right?”

“No, it's not.”

I still look at the crowd focusing on Shra.

“But what did the stalker kids say? I thought you were talking about something. ”

“I'm asking for your blessing. ”

“Really? Anything else? ”

“By the way, I got an invitation. It's Prosia Day soon, isn't it? ”

“Oh, right. ”

“Then he asked me to come before Divinum. ”

Armida's frightened sister squeezes her hair and settles down.

“Yes! Look! ”

I looked down at Armida.

“What report? ”

“You know, looking for a friend who left home. I have to go before Divinum every year on Prosia Day and report my progress. ”

“Why not? ”

“You didn't do anything! ”

I chipped my tongue. Armida looked like an immature student who had not finished her vacation homework before she started school. There was no way I could report anything, since I said it was fun.

Shura smiled at me with a gentle gaze.

“Master, by the way, next week we'll have met for like a year. We met about ten days ago on Prosia Day. ”

Shura remembers everything. At that moment, I rolled my eyes. It was because I felt a strange feeling of hypocrisy.

“A year?”

“Yes.”

I sat down next to Armida and grabbed her head with my finger counting the days. It was exactly one year since yesterday.

“Shit! It's been a year! ”

“Master, what's wrong with you? ”

“There's only seven years left! ”

Now seven years until the age of destruction. I haven't enjoyed my life very much, but it's been a year.

Is this how a student feels about a day ahead of school? As long as I could see Time, I wanted to cut him down with a yogurt right away.
