Changes left by war (2)

Left-handed sword Songbaek.

He was from the Imperial Geumuiwi (錦衣衛).

Dedicated to serving his country, he lost his right arm during the war, and was told by his superiors that he could no longer work in the field.

The imperial family did not abandon him.

He granted wealth and honor by acknowledging his achievements, but as Songbaek, who had spent his entire life on the battlefield, he could not accept a peaceful life at all.

Songbaek spent some days of suffering.

Then one day.

took the sword again.

He made the decision to end his life as a warrior, even if he had to die in vain.

Songbaek swung the sword for years until his left arm got used to it.

And when he regained his martial arts to some extent, he challenged the masters of Moorim based on the left-handed sword he had made.

It was the beginning of the flight.

At first, I had a hard time even against third-rate uninhabited people.

The balance of the broken body could not fully restore the former skills, and every moment risked his life to defeat the opponent.

years to do that. The left-handed sword gradually developed a system.

He used his twisted body balance, which was always pointed out as a weakness, rather aggressively, and Song Baek's anomalous attack resulted in the fall of numerous soldiers.

finally.

He met Baek Joong-hyuk and died.

However, at the time of his death as a Mu-min, Song Baek showed a sincere smile in the days he lived.

'Left-handed sword Songbaek. I can't say that I'm the best warrior among the many enemies I've met, but the anomalous sword technique using only one left arm had a sharpness that exceeded the difference in skill. I was so impressed with the confrontation with him that I started training for a closed school for a while. McBurney is no different. I lost my right arm and my body was out of balance, but I naturally know how to use my left arm.'

McBurney.

The reason I want him is not because he resembles a left-handed sword.

The information on the Southern Front that he had presented to him proved how useful McBurney was on the battlefield.

If a talented person like McBurney fell like a stone on the side of the road.

It was strange not to take it.

So Roman went to McBurney and looked into his trembling eyes and said,

"Left-handed sword is a person who has lived the same life as you. However, I overcame my physical weakness and used a left-handed sword technique that surprised me. If you promise to entrust your future future for me. I will show you the left-handed sword. And unlike the Cairo Kingdom, which does not know your worth, I will use you more usefully than anyone else."

The pretense was omitted.

It was a deal, and it offered a reward in return for loyalty.

That was enough.

At Roman's words that he would use his worth, McBurney felt like his heart was about to burst.

'This is the savior of my life.'

one-armed bastard.

If only I could live as a warrior.

McBurney could do anything for Roman.

thud!

fell flat on the ground.

He didn't care what other people looked at, and he spoke loudly with his face bowed.

"This McBurney. Saying that you will put me to good use is enough. From now on, I will give my life for Roman Dmitry. Thank you very much for taking me away."

that day.

McBurney found a new hope.

* * *

Break up with Roman.

McBurney headed straight home.

I was planning to simply pack my bags and follow Roman.

"Hey, McBurney."

"You still haven't given up on your vain hopes of going to the battlefield? please give up I know you were a good swordsman in your old days, but now you're just an asshole who lost an arm. It doesn't even have a background. How long are you going to be pitiful about the subject of commoners?"

okay. This is the advice we give you, so listen to it."

comrades in the temporary unit.

They were from the Western Front.

Like McBurney, they had been culled, and the sight of McBurney struggling to the end was very annoying.

young. Look at how our faces harden from what we said. You and us, there were times when we could call it our heyday. But now look at us. Our lives are all about chasing aristocratic bastards in the capital. By the way, you followed Roman Dmitry well and received a huge reward. Then you know the subject and live the rest of your life comfortably, so why are you sticking your butt out here?"

So. Fuck it, can't you turn it off? My stomach hurts."

It was a bitter insult.

What if I didn't get Roman's offer?

McBurney may have been fighting all over.

But now that they have found the value of a new life, McBurney looks pitiful for them.

'I am no different from you. I lost the will to live and wandered, but not from now on.'

slick.

McBurney laughed.

Carrying the burden on their shoulders, they left the dormitory and held up their middle finger.

"Fuck it, you bastards. When we meet again later, let's see if your life and my life are different even then.

left the house

I felt more at ease.

There was no back now.

McBurney will live for Roman Dmitry in the future.

War.

One event changed the lives of many people.

Edwin Hector.

McBurney.

And, Henry Albert, a fool of the Albert family, was also caught up in the whirlpool of change.

" uhh."

on the way back to the family.

Henry Albert sighed.

I thought that if I followed Roman, I would be rewarded properly in the paddy field, but the Cairo royal family only showed interest in Dmitry's people.

All Henry Albert received was a few bucks.

For commoners like McBurney, that would be a great reward, but it wasn't what Henry Albert wanted.

'Roman-sama is too much. Still, we struggled together on the battlefield, can you take me with you?'

The war is over.

Henry Albert followed Roman secretly.

The smell of power wafted from Roman, and he thought that it would not be impossible for the central government to enter the central government if he remained as Roman's closest aide like Chris.

But the reality was not hopeful.

Roman could not accept a class like Henry Albert, and as soon as he arrived in the capital, he was coldly abandoned.

And now.

Henry Albert returned home shabby.

"Yeah, what a success in my subject. Living among people who just support me like a king would fit my theme. Cancer, not like that. Going out into the world is full of monsters like Roman Dmitry. And what about Edwin Hector? Just being exempted from military duty is a great achievement."

fell into self-actualization.

Two figures representing both kingdoms.

When I thought of Roman Dmitry and Edwin Hector, I wondered what the hell he was doing.

of similar age.

But the talent was completely different.

Henry Albert had no talent, even less confident to do something like them.

That's how the Albert family arrived.

By the way.

[The hero of Cairo! Congratulations on the return of Henry Albert!]

[A proud son of the Albert family! Henry Albert returns safely!]

[If you ask about the future of the Albert family, let everyone look at Henry Albert!]

in front of the gate.

The cloth with strange inscriptions fluttered.

Henry Albert looked up blankly at it.

Apparently, something was definitely wrong.

* * *

At first I didn't know what was going on.

Henry Albert, who was being welcomed by the family with a bewildered expression, met Viscount Bale with a wide smile.

" uncle?!

"My dear nephew!"

Viscount Bale hugged Henry.

Actually.

As soon as he saw Viscount Veil's face, he was going to slap him on the cheek.

Viscount Bale, who believed only in himself even when he first enlisted in the Southern Front, ran away immediately without thinking of taking Henry as soon as the war broke out.

You don't know how angry it was to spend the night in the mountains.

Henry vowed to inform the family of this atrocity when he died, but Viscount Bale raised Henry's hand and told the people of the family that Viscount Bale was unaware.

"Everyone, congratulations on the return of our proud nephew!"

Oh oh!

Henry! Henry!

Everyone was excited.

I missed the time to speak.

Meanwhile, Viscount Bale began to tell stories that Henry could not understand.

"As you all know, the kingdom of Hector crossed the border without notice. As the commander of the Southern Training Center, I was going to stay until the end and fight the enemy in a deadly fight. But then. Our Henry told me, as commander, to inform the Cairo royal family of this fact. He pushed me out of the battlefield, saying he would stay on the southern front with Roman Dmitry and fight to the end."

Viscount Bale.

He lived as a fugitive.

Of course, it was a decision that expected Cairo's defeat, but as time passed, Cairo achieved a huge victory.

It was a miserable situation.

Of course, he didn't run away from the beginning.

He fought his enemies, but that didn't change the fact that he had run away.

Therefore, as Viscount Bale, he had no choice but to create a heroic story with Henry Albert.

"If you have connections with the central government, you must have heard the rumors. When we achieved a great victory in the guerrilla operation against the kingdom of Hector, our Henry reported it to the royal family on behalf of Roman Dmitry. So Henry played a big role. Others think Roman Dmitry did it all, but we have to remember that Henry's role was not small."

Now I understand.

The reason for the existence of the banner.

Henry Albert became a family hero.

The problem was that it wasn't just the family's business, it was spreading around and raising Henry's reputation.

A day passes.

Henry's father grabbed Henry and said,

"There are a lot of calls from neighboring families saying they want to arrange an arranged marriage with you. Henry, do you have a girl you like? I think I said last time that I liked the Aiden family girl. Please tell me somewhere."

The Aiden family belonged to the central government.

The inside was visible.

But the funny thing was that the Aiden family, who had never even looked after him, was hoping for an arranged marriage.

'The eldest daughter of the Aiden family was famous around her for her beauty. So many of the sons of noble families wanted to marry her, but the Aiden family rejected all the proposals and wanted an arranged marriage with me. Is this real?'

I was stunned.

Reality was changing.

in the war with Hector.

Henry Albert did nothing.

However, the mere fact that he was with Roman in the place where the war took place completely changed his status.

It wasn't just that.

"This is the Cairo Royal Academy. Could you give a lecture on the subject of what happened on the Southern Front?"

Contact from the capital.

My heart raced.

The Cairo Royal Academy made the same offer to Dmitry's people, but no one allowed it, so they asked Henry Albert, who has been on the rise lately.

Henry knew then.

The fact that even if you are not a great person, you can become a great person with just one reputation.

so that.

'In order to increase my worth, I need to spread the word about how great Roman Dmitry is.'

his only achievement.

Being with Roman.

Henry Albert quickly accepted the offer to speak.

The truth may be tragic, but it wasn't too bad to borrow Roman's name to get people's attention.

I didn't think about the back.

If only you were smart in the first place.

Henry Albert would not have been living a life of foolishness.

from then.

Henry Albert played the role of a loudspeaker who spread Roman's praise theory and spread Roman's fame to the world.

Henry Albert.

It was a turning point in the life of a fool, whom no one paid any attention to.

* * *

a few days later.

Roman left the capital.

The powers of the central government came out, and the people of Kairos shouted the name of Roman and cheered.

may be far away.

Roman didn't look back.

'When I return to the capital again, I have to make a choice.'

The four forces of Cairo.

They will no longer wait for Roman.

so that.

'until then. I will completely take over the northeast area so that I can oppose the central government.'

people of the central government.

They didn't know Roman's true intentions.

later.

What it would mean for Roman to go to the monastery, he could not yet predict.
