Golden Hwan Hyang (2)

a few days ago.

Upon hearing the report that Cairo's main force was attacking the rear positions, the people gathered in the conference room showed serious expressions.

"If that's the case. If we fail to capture the rear positions, what will happen to us?"

It was the words of a nobleman belonging to the royal family.

the nobility of the central government.

They did not attend.

Daniel Cairo said with a rather desperate look.

" The responsibility for the defeat rests with the royal family. Even if this country's command system was torn apart by the nobility, the people would try to hold the king responsible for the war. From then on, you can no longer raise your voice as a king. Central government nobles like hyenas will do anything to bring me down."

"Damn guys!"

"Still, I was born in the same Cairo bloodline, so I think it's too much."

It was cumbersome.

power of the central government.

The Marquis Benedict, Earl Gregory, and Earl of Denver did not do their best to help the Southern Front.

Winning or losing this war is not a simple matter.

If you fail to capture the rear positions. Hector's kingdom may refuse to negotiate with Cairo, and hand over the South to the Kronos Empire.

then.

Indeed, the status of the royal family will fall to the ground.

The border with Kronos in the South and West meant the fear of not knowing when they might be attacked.

Daniel Cairo said.

"The aristocrats in the central government must think that whatever choice they make is beneficial to them. If Cairo's main force wins, it will be good to get over the crisis, and even if it loses, it will be used as a sure means to pressure the royal family. It is not the safety of Cairo that is important to them. If they really wanted the Cairo Kingdom to revive, they would not have opened their eyes to watch the Southern Front pass over the Kronos Empire. Even if he had to spend his own money, he would have given priority to negotiating with the kingdom of Hector unconditionally."

why.

How did the country become like this?

From the moment he took over the throne he did not want to inherit, Daniel Cairo could not sleep comfortably for a moment.

"The enemy that threatens Cairo is within. They selfishly seek their own gain, but we cannot be as selfish as them. We need to prepare for the future when we lose here. Even if they were stoned by the people of Cairo. In order for us to not lose our meaning as the Cairo royal family, we must hold onto the meaning of our existence until the end."

" Okay.

"I take orders."

The nobles bowed their heads.

Even the weak and feeble king.

Some nobles followed him because Daniel Cairo truly cares about the kingdom.

If the.

Had he been born in good times, he would have been a saint.

But in reality, this was not the case, and the weak king became a good prey for hyenas in a small country.

The meeting continued.

contingency possibility.

The people of the royal school who were preparing for it, got up from their seats at the news that came from the southern front.

"Is that really true!"

"Live!"

triumph.

And in just a few hours.

At the shocking result that he could not have expected, Daniel Cairo's face turned red.

* * *

It was truly a grand feast.

golden scent.

As Roman returned as a hero, the nobles of the high-spirited capital city all welcomed Roman.

"You really worked hard!"

"Thanks to you, Cairo got through a great crisis."

They also heard rumors.

To be precise, each of them learned how great Roman had done through their sources.

among them.

Count Fabius reported:

"Actually, I still doubt whether what I experienced is real. From start to finish. The strategy that brought down the kingdom of Hector all came from Roman Dmitry. Roman Dmitry perfectly grasped the opponent's intentions, trapping Hector's kingdom, and winning against Butler, who boasts of five-star status. Marquis Benedict. I have never seen such a talent in my life. Even the existence called the best sword on the continent did not show enough progress at the age of 20. Roman Dmitry is a person who will unconditionally achieve great success as a prosecutor and as a commander."

It was commendable.

Even though he was already the person everyone wanted.

Roman Dmitry once again surpassed his own rating.

The result of defeating Butler and his talent as a commander was a shocking result that made his previous steps humble.

A party hall celebrating Roman's return.

Nobles flocked

I'm trying to mix horses with Roman.

Even the aristocrats of the central government gave up their pride and tried to win the favor of Romans.

"Roman Dmitry. We are finally seeing each other in person."

"I see you, Your Majesty the King."

It was Daniel Cairo.

The nobles opened the way.

Even though he was a scarecrow king, he wasn't stupid enough to be rude to the king in a place where a lot of attention was focused.

"I wanted to express my sincere gratitude on behalf of the Cairo Kingdom. Against the kingdom of Hector, you showed Cairo's will. He defeated Hector with daring determination and restored the peace of Cairo from a desperate crisis. Is there anything you want from me? Whatever you want, I will listen to the best of my ability."

Nongong Haengsang (論功行賞).

It was time to reward.

It was the king's authority, and attention was focused on Daniel Cairo's words.

That was then.

Before Roman could answer, Daniel Cairo added.

"At the same time, the position of deputy commander of the Royal Knights became vacant. if only you are okay I will grant the title of deputy commander-in-chief and access to the royal treasury. You can take your wealth there, or you can learn the valuable knowledge that Cairo has kept from generation to generation. how about My suggestion."

at that word.

The atmosphere in the banquet hall changed to a chilly one.

Daniel Cairo's suggestion.

With the intention of occupying Roman first, the aristocrats of the central government could no longer watch the situation with a smile.

* * *

The Royal Knights' Vice Knights Commander.

It was a huge privilege.

It had never happened in Cairo's history that he had reached such a position at the age of only 20.

Daniel Cairo said.

"The best sword in Cairo and the head of the Royal Knights. Count Nicholas is looking for a successor to succeed him. It will be a great opportunity for you. Even now, you have a talent that shines brighter than anyone else, but if you have someone who leads you in front of you, you will be able to look higher. There is no need to worry about the duty of national defense. Apart from other rewards, I plan to specifically waive the remaining obligations to you."

Daniel Cairo.

He was greedy for the first time.

'I want to make Roman Dmitry my person.'

at a young age.

He had to wear the crown upon the death of his father.

The aristocrats of the central government welcomed the existence of Daniel Cairo, who could be used as a scarecrow, and even after so many years, Daniel Cairo had to be polite to the heads of the central government.

That was the reason for treating them respectfully in the conference room.

The moment they showed an attitude of being treated like a subordinate, the heads of the central government, including the Marquis Benedict, showed an outright uncomfortable expression and put pressure on the king.

so that.

I was always out of breath.

Cairo's people considered him to be the supreme ruler, but in reality he was nothing more than a scarecrow.

'Roman Dmitry defeated Butler, a five-star swordsman. If I take in a person as strong as Count Nicholas as my person, even as an aristocrat, I can't be pressured in haste. From then on, the situation can be reversed. People call me a feeble king, but I will not live like this forever.'

of this war.

thought differently.

Seeing the nobles taking care of themselves even by dropping the kingdom to hell, I thought that this was not the case.

Removed the weak side.

For the first time, he showed his teeth in front of the nobles.

OK.

The Marquis Benedict said in an angry voice.

"Nothing in the world makes you take on another duty as a reward. King's Majesty. The Royal Knights, as a military organization directly under the royal family, are just a choice to force sacrifices on young talent with a guaranteed future. Please take the order. We need to reward our heroes."

Yes. I agree to open the royal treasury, but this is not."

met with resistance.

the nobility of the central government.

they stepped forward

Each of you added a word, pointing out the fact that Daniel Cairo's proposal was far wrong.

'Since when did you say joining the Royal Knights was a sacrifice?'

Royal Night.

This is the most honorable place for knights.

At one time, the sons of noble families tried their whole life to join the Royal Knights, but after the collapse of the royal power, they responded to it like a gyeruk (鷄肋).

Perhaps, as the nobles say, Roman may not be pleased with his proposal.

However, since I had spoken, I had no intention of voluntarily resigning.

"Marquis Benedict. I made a decision. From now on, it is up to Roman Dmitry to decide."

crossed the line

Contrary to usual, I chose a lower class rather than an honorable one.

For a moment, the Marquis Benedict's expression distorted, but Daniel Cairo did not mind and looked at Roman Dmitry.

Everyone's attention was focused.

If Roman said he would follow Daniel Cairo.

Then, really, the Cairo Kingdom will fall into chaos and terror.

* * *

King's proposal.

It was surprising.

Daniel Cairo, whom Roman remembers, is a feeble king, and he looked at him with unwavering eyes.

'Is that still a royal bloodline?'

public evaluation.

Maybe Daniel Cairo wasn't as fragile a king as rumored.

I had no choice but to bow my head under the pressure that had been going on since I was young, and it was reflected as if I was weak.

Finally, a chance for a reversal arises.

Daniel Cairo gambled.

This will only increase the pressure in the future, but Roman Dmitry was well worth the sacrifice.

However.

'There is no reason for me to take over the Cairo royal family.'

this war.

Facing the kingdom of Hector, Roman realized that he had not yet fully grasped the new world.

Edwin Hector, who uses magic, and Butler, a 5-star swordsman.

The people of the Cairo Kingdom say that it was really great to defeat them, but in fact, by the standards of the continent, they were not as great as they expressed it.

Edwin Hector?

He's only a 4th circle wizard.

It was said that the class called the Archmage used magic like a natural disaster in as many as seven circles.

and Butler.

He is ranked second in the kingdom of Hector.

However, in the continent rankings, the name of Butler can only be found at the end.

'Right now, that's all I am. frog in the well. A being who cannot raise his head proudly outside of Cairo.'

Daniel Cairo.

Marquis Benedict.

Count Gregory.

The Earl of Denver.

So are they.

Because it is the Cairo Kingdom, they act like powerful people, and when they go out to the continent, they are nothing.

so that.

No proposal could be accepted.

Now, it was necessary to maintain the balance of power and to have the minimum conditions.

said Roman.

"This war made me realize that the world is wide. Royal Night. It is an honorable position as a prosecutor. But before I decide on my future, there are things I want to do."

"What is it?"

obvious refusal.

Daniel Cairo couldn't hide his complicated feelings.

In contrast, the aristocrats of the central government watched the situation with a smile.

"Actually, if I hadn't been exempted from my military duty, I was planning to do it two years later. After a few days rest in the capital, I plan to return to my family. And I'm going to spend some time making the realizations I've gained on the battlefield completely mine. Not sure how long that will take. But when you are completely ready."

I raised my head.

To those who watched him, he revealed his future steps.

"I will challenge the public ranking match."

public rankings.

on that word.

There was a ripple in people's eyes.
