a few days ago.
Upon hearing the report that Cairo's main force was attacking the rear position, the people gathered in the conference room showed serious expressions..
“What if? What happens to us if we fail to capture the rear camp??”
These were the words of a noble belonging to the King faction..
nobles of the central government.
they did not attend.
Daniel Cairo said with a bit of despair.
“……Responsibility for the defeat lies with the royal family. Even if this country's command system was torn apart by the aristocratic faction, the people would try to hold the king responsible for the war. From then on, he can no longer raise his voice as the king. The hyena-like nobles of the central government will stop at nothing to bring me down..”
“damn guys!”
“Still, I was born with the same Cairo blood, but it seems like too much..”
I was at a loss.
central government forces.
Marquis Benedict, Count Gregory, and Count 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 camp. The Kingdom of Hector may refuse to negotiate with Cairo and hand over the south to the Kronos Empire..
then.
The status of the royal family will truly fall to the ground..
The border with Kronos in the south and west meant the fear of not knowing when we would be attacked..
Daniel Cairo said.
“The central government's nobles probably think that whatever choice they make is beneficial to them. If the main force in Cairo wins, it will be good to overcome the crisis, and even if they lose, it will be used as a sure means to put pressure on the royal family. What is important to them is not the safety of Cairo. If they had truly hoped for the revival of the Kingdom of Cairo, they would not have watched with open eyes the southern front being taken over by the Kronos Empire. Even if it meant using his own money, he must have considered it a priority to proceed with negotiations with the Kingdom of Hector..”
why.
How did the country end up like this?.
From the moment he inherited the throne that he did not want to inherit, Daniel Cairo could not sleep peacefully even for a moment..
“The enemy threatening Cairo is within. They selfishly seek their own benefit, but that doesn't mean we can't be selfish like them. We need to prepare for the future if we lose this position. Even if you get stoned by the people of Cairo. In order for us to not lose our meaning as the royal family of Cairo, we must hold on to the meaning of our existence until the end..”
“……All right.”
“I obey orders.”
The nobles bowed their heads..
Even if he is a weak and weak king.
The reason some nobles followed him was because Daniel Cairo was a man who truly cared about the kingdom..
If the.
If he had been born in a good time, he would have become a saint..
But in reality, this was not the case, and a weak king in a weak country became good prey for hyenas..
The meeting continued.
possibility.
The people of the royal faction who were preparing for this jumped to their feet upon hearing news from the southern front..
“Is it really true?!”
“lived!”
victory news.
And that in just a few hours.
Daniel Cairo's face lit up at this shocking achievement that he could not have expected..
* * *
It was truly a grand feast..
Golden Return.
As Roman returned as a hero, all the proud nobles of the capital welcomed Roman..
“You really worked hard!”
“Thanks to you, Cairo has overcome a great crisis..”
They also heard the rumor.
To be precise, each person found out through their own sources how great Roman had been..
among them.
Count Fabius reported this:.
“In fact, I still doubt whether what I experienced is real. From beginning to end. The strategy that brought down Hector's kingdom all originated from Roman Dmitry. Roman Dmitry perfectly understood his opponent's intentions, lured Hector's kingdom into a trap, and won against the five-star Butler. Marquis Benedict. I have never seen talent like him in my life. Even the being who is said to be the best sword on the continent could not show such progress in his 20s. Roman Dmitry is a person who will undoubtedly achieve great success as a prosecutor and commander..”
It was high praise.
Even though he was already the talent everyone wanted,.
Roman Dmitry surpassed his own estimation once again.
His talent as a commander and the result of defeating Butler were shocking enough to put his previous actions in vain..
Party hall celebrating Roman's return.
nobles flocked to.
I'm going to try talking to Roman..
Even the nobles of the central government put aside their pride and tried to win Roman's favor..
“Roman Dmitry. I can finally meet you in person..”
“Meet His Majesty the King.”
It was Daniel Cairo..
nobles paved the way.
No matter how much of a scarecrow the king was, he was not stupid enough to be rude to the king in a place where so many eyes were focused on him..
“On behalf of the Kingdom of Cairo, I wanted to express my sincere gratitude. You showed Cairo's will against Hector's kingdom. With bold determination, he defeated Hector and restored peace to Cairo from a desperate crisis. Is there anything you want from me? Whatever you want, I will do everything in my power to accommodate it..”
Award for meritorious work).
It was time to reward.
It was the king's authority, and attention was focused on Daniel Cairo's words..
It was then.
Before Roman could respond, Daniel Cairo added:.
“At that time, the position of Deputy Commander of the Royal Knights became vacant. If it's okay with you. I will grant you the title of deputy knight commander and the right to enter the royal family's treasury. You can take your wealth there, or you can acquire valuable knowledge that Cairo has preserved for generations. How about it? my suggestion.”
In those words.
The atmosphere in the banquet hall became cold..
Daniel Cairo's suggestion.
With the intention of taking Roman first, the nobles of the central government could no longer watch the situation with a smile..
* * *
Deputy Commander of the Royal Knight.
It was a huge privilege.
Never before in the entire history of Cairo has someone in their 20s reached such a position..
Daniel Cairo said.
“The best sword in Cairo and the leader 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 talents that shine brighter than anyone else, but if you have someone guiding you, you will be able to look higher. There is no need to worry about national defense duties. Aside from any other compensation, I intend to specifically exempt you from any remaining obligations..”
Daniel Cairo.
He was greedy for the first time.
‘I definitely want to make Roman Dmitry mine..’
at a young age.
He had to wear a crown after his father's death..
The nobles of the central government welcomed the presence of Daniel Cairo, who could be used as a scarecrow, and even as time passed, Daniel Cairo had to be polite to the heads of the central government..
This was the reason I treated them with respect in the conference room..
The moment he showed even the slightest hint of an attitude of being treated like a subordinate, the heads of the central government, including the Marquis Benedict, showed signs of open discomfort and put pressure on the king..
so that.
I was always out of breath..
The people of Cairo thought he was the most powerful person, but in reality, he was nothing more than a scarecrow..
‘Roman Dmitry took down Butler, a five-star prosecutor. If I take someone as strong as Count Nicholas as my person, even the nobles cannot hastily put pressure on me. From then on, the situation can be turned around. People call me a weak king, but I won't live like this forever..’
With this war as an opportunity.
I thought differently.
When I saw the nobles taking care of their own interests even at the cost of throwing the kingdom into hell, I thought that things couldn't go on like this..
Stripped away the weak side.
For the first time, he showed his teeth in front of nobles..
OK.
Marquis Benedict said in an angry voice..
“There is no case in the world that requires you to shoulder another obligation as compensation. His Majesty the King. The Royal Knights are a military organization directly under the royal family, and it is simply a choice to force sacrifice on young talents with a guaranteed future. Please take away my order. We need to reward our heroes.”
“you're right. I agree with opening up the royal family's treasury, but not this..”
met with backlash.
nobles of the central government.
they stepped forward.
Everyone added a word and pointed out that Daniel Cairo's proposal was very wrong..
‘Since when has joining the Royal Knights been described as a sacrifice?.’
royal knight.
It is the most honorable position for knights..
At one time, children of noble families worked hard all their lives to join the Royal Knights, but after the fall of royal authority, they began to treat them like bastards..
Perhaps, as the nobles said, Roman may not be pleased with his proposal..
However, once I spoke out, I had no intention of backing down voluntarily..
“Marquis Benedict. I made a decision. From now on, it's up to Roman Dmitry to decide..”
crossed the line.
Unlike usual, I chose lower rank instead of honorific rank..
For a moment, Marquis Benedict's expression became distorted, but Daniel Cairo looked at Roman Dmitri without any hesitation..
Everyone's attention was focused.
If Roman decides to follow Daniel Cairo.
At that time, the Kingdom of Cairo will truly fall into chaos and fear..
* * *
King's Proposal.
It was unexpected.
Daniel Cairo, Roman remembers, was a weak king, but he looked at him with unwavering eyes..
‘Still, it's royal blood?.’
public opinion.
Maybe Daniel Cairo wasn't as soft a king as rumored..
I had no choice but to bow my head to the pressure that had persisted since I was young, and I was seen as weak..
When a chance for a reversal finally arises.
Daniel Cairo took a gamble.
This will increase the pressure in the future, but Roman Dmitry was worth the sacrifice..
but.
‘There is no reason for me to take on the Cairo royal family..’
this war.
Dealing with the Kingdom of Hector, Roman realized that he had not yet fully grasped the new world..
Edwin Hector uses magic and Butler, a 5-star swordsman..
The people of the Kingdom of Cairo say that defeating them was truly amazing, but in reality, by continental standards, it was not as great as they said..
Edwin Hector?
He's only a 4th circle wizard..
It is said that the types called great wizards use magic like natural disasters in as many as seven circles..
and butler.
His ranking in Hector's kingdom is 2nd..
But in the continental rankings, Butler's name is found only at the very end..
‘That's exactly who I am now. A frog in a well. A being who cannot raise his head proudly outside of Cairo.’
Daniel Cairo.
marquis benedict.
Count Gregory.
earl of denver.
So do they.
Because it is the Kingdom of Cairo, they act like powerful people, but when they go to the continent, they are nothing..
so that.
I couldn't accept any offer..
Now is the time to maintain the balance of power and meet the minimum conditions..
Roman said.
“This war made me realize that the world is big. Royal Knight. It is a truly honorable position as a prosecutor. But before I decide on my future, there is something I definitely want to do.”
“what is that?”
explicit refusal.
Daniel Cairo couldn't hide his mixed feelings..
On the other hand, the nobles of the central government watched the situation with smiling faces..
“In fact, if I had not been exempted from national defense obligations, I was planning to do it two years later. After resting for a few days in the capital, I plan to return to my family. And I plan to spend time making the lessons I gained on the battlefield my own. I'm not sure how long that will take. But when you're completely ready.”
I raised my head.
He announced his future plans to those who are watching him..
“I will challenge the public rankings.”
Public ranking match.
in that word.
A ripple occurred in people's eyes..
