Left Hand Sword Song Baek.
He was a member of the Imperial Geumuiwi (錦衣衛)..
Although he devoted himself to 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.
In recognition of his achievements, he was given wealth and honor, but Songbaek, who had lived his entire life on the battlefield, could not accept a peaceful life..
Song Baek went through painful days for a while..
Then one day.
I grabbed the sword again.
I made the decision to end my life as a warrior, even if it meant dying in vain..
Song Baek swung the sword for several years until his left arm got used to it..
And when he regained some of his martial arts skills, he issued a challenge to the martial arts masters based on the left hand sword he had made..
It was the beginning of misbehavior.
At first, I had a hard time dealing with third-rate fighters..
His body's balance was broken and he could not completely recover his previous skills, and he risked his life at every moment to defeat his opponent..
So many years. The Left Hand Sword gradually became more systematic..
The distorted balance of the body, which had always been pointed out as a weakness, was used offensively, and many warriors fell due to Songbaek's irregular attacks..
at last.
He met Baek Jung-hyuk and faced death..
However, at the time when he was ending his life as a military man, Songbaek smiled sincerely at the days he had lived..
‘Left swordsman Song Baek. I can't say that he was the best warrior among the many enemies I've encountered, but his irregular sword technique using only his left arm had a sharpness that went beyond the difference in skill. He was so impressed by the fight against him that he even began training in closed rooms for a while. McBurney is no different. Although losing his right arm has thrown him off balance, he naturally knows how to use his left arm..’
McBurney.
The reason I want him is not because he resembles Jwasoo-geom..
The information on the southern front that McBurney gave him as a gift proved how useful he was on the battlefield..
If a talent like McBurney falls like a stone on the side of the road,.
It was strange not to collect it..
So Roman went to see McBurney, looked at his shaking eyes and said,.
“Jwasoogeom is a person who lived the same life as you. However, he overcame his physical weakness and used a left-handed sword technique with a level of perfection that surprised me. If you promise to entrust your future to me. I will teach you left hand sword. And unlike the Kingdom of Cairo, which does not know your value, I will use you more usefully than anyone else..”
Pretense was omitted..
It was a deal, a reward offered in exchange for loyalty..
That was enough.
When Roman said that he would utilize his value, McBurney felt like his heart was about to explode..
‘This person is the savior of my life.’
one-armed idiot.
If only I could live as a warrior.
McBurney would do anything for Roman.
thud!
I fell flat on the ground..
Without caring at all what other people thought, he spoke loudly with his face down..
“This McBurney. Just saying that you will make me useful is enough. From now on, I will sacrifice my life for Roman Dmitry. Thank you so much for having me.”
that day.
McBurney finds new hope.
* * *
Break up with Roman.
McBurney headed straight to his lodgings..
I was planning on simply packing my bags and following Roman out..
“Hey, McBurney..”
“Have you still not given up the vain hope of leaving for the battlefield? Please give up. I know you used to be a successful prosecutor, but now you're just an idiot who lost an arm. However, there is no background. How long are you going to struggle pitifully over a commoner??”
“okay. This is advice we give from the bottom of our hearts, so listen up..”
Temporary Unit Colleagues.
They were from the Western Front.
They, like McBurney, were eliminated, and the sight of McBurney struggling until the end was so annoying..
“young. Look at how his face hardens when we say something. There was a time for both you and us that could be called our prime. But look at what we are like now. Our life is all about keeping up with the noble kids in the capital. At least you followed Roman Dmitri well and received a huge reward. Then you should know the topic and live comfortably for the rest of your life, why are you sticking your butt out here?.”
“therefore. Fuck, can't you just turn it off? My stomach hurts for no reason.”
It was a bitter insult..
If you didn't receive Roman's offer.
McBurney might have had a fight..
But now that they have found new value in life, McBurney feels sorry for them..
‘I am no different from you. I lost the will to live and wandered around, but not anymore..’
twitch.
McBurney laughed..
After carrying my luggage on my shoulder, I raised my middle finger at them as I left the dorm..
“Fuck you, you bastards. When we meet again later, let's see if your life and mine are any different then..”
I left the accommodation.
I felt much more at ease.
There was no turning back now..
McBurney will live for Roman Dmitry from now on.
* * *
War.
One event changed the lives of many people.
Edwin Hector.
McBurney.
And Henry Albert, the son of the Albert family, was also caught up in the whirlwind of change..
“……Ugh.”
On the way back to the family.
Henry Albert sighed..
I thought that if I followed Roman, I would be properly rewarded in the trade, but the Cairo royal family was only interested in Dmitry's people..
All Henry Albert received was a few pennies..
That might have been a great reward for commoners like McBurney, but it wasn't what Henry Albert wanted..
‘Roman, you are too good. Still, we went through a hard time on the battlefield together, so why don't you take me with you too?.’
After the war.
Henry Albert secretly followed Roman around..
Roman had a strong scent of power, and he thought that if he remained Roman's closest associate like Chris, it would not be impossible for him to enter the central government..
But the reality was not hopeful.
There was no way Roman would accept someone like Henry Albert, and he was coldly abandoned as soon as he arrived in the capital..
and now.
Henry Albert returned home shabby..
“Okay, what kind of career is there for my subject? It would be more appropriate for me to just live among people who treat me like a king. Cancer, of course. When you go out into the world, it's only filled with monsters like Roman Dmitri. Also, what about Edwin Hector? Just being exempt from national defense obligations is a great achievement..”
I fell into self-justification.
Two figures representing both kingdoms.
When I thought of Roman Dmitry and Edwin Hector, I wondered what on earth they were doing..
Similar age group.
But the talent was completely different.
Henry Albert had no talent at all, much less the confidence to do what they did..
The Albert family arrived like that..
however.
[The hero of Cairo! Congratulations on the return of Henry Albert.!]
[A proud son of the Albert family! Henry Albert returns safely!]
[When asking about the future of the Albert family, let everyone look to Henry Albert.!]
in front of the castle gate.
A cloth with strange writing on it fluttered..
Henry Albert looked up at it blankly..
Somehow, it felt like something was definitely wrong..
* * *
At first I didn't know what was going on.
Henry Albert, who had been welcomed by the family with a puzzled expression, met Viscount Bale with a bright smile on his face..
“……uncle?!”
“my lovely nephew!”
Viscount Vale hugged Henry..
actually.
As soon as I saw Viscount Veil's face, I planned to give him a nice slap in the face..
Viscount Bale, who said he would only trust himself when he first enlisted in the Southern Front, ran away as soon as the war broke out, not even thinking about taking care of Henry..
You don't know how angry I was staying up all night in the mountains..
Henry vowed that if he returned alive, he would definitely inform the family about this atrocity, but Viscount Vale, as if unaware of his feelings, raised Henry's hand and said to the family members:.
“Everyone, please congratulate our proud nephew on his return.!”
“Oh oh!”
“Henry! Henry!”
Everyone was excited.
I missed the right time to speak.
Meanwhile, Viscount Bale began to tell Henry something he couldn't understand..
“As everyone knows, Hector's kingdom crossed the border without warning. As the commander of the Southern Training Center, I planned to remain until the end and fight to the death against the enemy. But then. Our Henry told me, as commander, to report this to the royal family in Cairo. He pushed me out of the battlefield, saying he would stay on the southern front with Roman Dmitry and fight until the end..”
Viscount Vale.
He lived as a fugitive.
Of course, it was a decision that anticipated 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..
I fought my enemies, but that didn't change the fact that I ran away..
Therefore, as Viscount Vale, he had no choice but to create a heroic story with Henry Albert..
“Anyone with connections in the central government may have heard that rumor. When we won a great victory in a guerrilla operation against the kingdom of Hector, our Henry reported the fact to the royal family on behalf of Roman Dmitry. Henry played a big role. Although others think that Roman Dmitry did everything, we must remember that he had no small role in Henry's role..”
Now I understand.
Reason for the existence of banners.
Henry Albert became a family hero.
The problem was that it was not just a family affair, but it spread around and raised Henry's reputation..
A day passes.
Henry's father grabbed Henry and said.
“I am receiving a lot of calls from surrounding families saying they would like to proceed with an arranged marriage with you. Henry, is there a woman you like? I think you said last time that you liked the Aiden family's girl. Please tell me.”
The Aiden family is part of the central government..
I could see what was inside.
But the funny thing was that the Aiden family, who didn't even pay attention to him, was hoping for an arranged marriage..
‘The eldest daughter of the Aiden family was famous for her beauty. So, many of her noble family's children wanted to marry her, but the Aiden family rejected all of the offers and wished for an arranged marriage for her with me. Is this reality??’
I was dazed.
reality was changing.
In the war with Hector.
Henry Albert did nothing..
But just the fact that he was with Roman at the place where the war took place completely changed his status..
That wasn't all.
“Cairo Royal Academy. Could you please give a lecture on the topic of what happened on the southern front??”
contact in the capital.
my heart was racing.
The Cairo Royal Academy made the same offer to Dmitry's men, but when no one would agree, they asked Henry Albert, a hot rising star of late..
Henry knew then.
Even if you are not a great person, you can become a great person based on reputation alone..
so that.
‘In order for my value to increase, I need to spread the word about how great Roman Dmitry is..’
his only achievement.
Being next to Roman.
Henry Albert eagerly accepted the lecture offer..
The truth may be miserable, but getting people's attention using Roman's name wasn't all that bad..
I didn't think about the future.
If you were smart to begin with.
Henry Albert would not have lived the life of a motherfucker..
from then.
Henry Albert praised Roman and played the role of a loudspeaker who spread Roman's fame to the world..
henry albert.
It was a turning point in the life of a fool who no one paid attention to..
* * *
a few days later.
Roman left the capital.
Those in power in the central government came out to see them off, and the people of Kairos cheered and shouted Roman's name..
The capital is receding.
Roman didn't look back..
‘When I return to the capital, I must choose.’
Four forces in Cairo.
They won't wait for Roman any longer..
so that.
‘until then. I will completely take the northeastern region under my control so that I can oppose the central government..’
people in central government.
They didn't know Roman's true intentions..
later.
It was not yet possible to predict what Roman's monastic journey meant..
