The Great Battle of the True Demon).
Those days when there was blood and slaughter every day..
Baek Jung-hyuk, who slaughtered all the leaders of the political faction that came in like a wave, saw Gwangma drenched in blood..
“……Huh, huh.”
Gwangma exhaled with difficulty..
His breathing was unstable as if something was wrong with his lungs, and something that couldn't be distinguished as his own blood or the enemy's blood continued to flow from his face..
Gwangma wiped the blood with his sleeve..
His body, which had lost its strength, continued to stumble, but with his eyes as alive as an animal, he plunged his sword into the corpses of the sectarians one by one..
“Ugh!”
Among them, sometimes.
there were survivors.
After completely blocking out any possible variables, Gwangma got down on one knee and showed a tired face..
“Are you okay??”
“……it's okay.”
Gwangma straightened his posture..
Baek Jung-hyuk only asked about his physical condition, but Gwangma tried to look as undisturbed as possible..
Pain surged throughout my body..
Even though Gwangmara had superhuman recovery abilities, she had to grit her teeth to hold on to her spirit, which was constantly slipping away..
Indeed.
I felt sorry.
The child who had nothing could have lived a more normal life if he had not met him..
Baek Jung-hyuk said.
“The life of an unmanned person cannot be peaceful until the day he dies. Only by constantly testing oneself and struggling to survive can one exist as a human being on the borderline of death. Do you regret your choice to follow me??”
“no regrets.”
“Following the twists of fate, we set out to conquer the martial forest. If no one rises to the top, the scheming tactics that threaten each other's lives will continue, and as the leader of the Heavenly Demon Church, I have a duty to fight for those who follow me. But not you. If you say you want to go back to your normal life right now, I will prepare everything for you. I will give you enough gold and silver treasures to live on for the rest of your life, a home to make you comfortable, and I will erase your past so that no one can touch you..”
I saw a light horse.
People say he's crazy, but in Baek Jung-hyuk's eyes, it still overlaps with the day they first met..
Gwangma at that time.
there was no choice.
Following Baek Jung-hyuk was all he had, and as he fought every day, he was soon called Gwangma..
Gwangma shook his head..
“As you said, I may not have any obligations. However, the reason for the political and political war, and the interests involved in the process, are not the least bit important to me. In the abyss of despair. My lord was the only hope that reached out to me. That's it. I only do it because it is what my lord wants, and I will risk my life to fight those who threaten my lord..”
smiled brightly.
Blood-stained teeth showed Gwangma's current state..
“Please don't abandon me. Just the fact that my lord trusts me makes me want to stay by his side for the rest of my life..”
at that time.
Baek Jung-hyuk thought.
people who believe in themselves.
He said that just as they showed blind faith in him, he would also show them the same faith..
I didn't care about the possibility that there might be betrayal in the end..
Because the present is important.
In his life as a warrior, not knowing when he would die, Baek Jung-hyuk was faithful to what he saw and felt now..
That was it..
Baek Junghyuk.
No, Roman Dmitry.
Because he remembered his past life, he did not ignore the sincerity of those who believed in him..

Hans returned to his lodgings..
small space.
It was a place where one person could barely survive..
In fact, father and son Dmitry repeatedly said that they would provide Hans with more space, but Hans always took the attitude that it was not needed..
It may seem narrow and shabby to others..
However, this place where he has been since he first joined the Dmitry family made Hans mentally at peace..
dump.
sat on the floor.
When we looked around the room without a bed, we saw traces of Roman Dmitry everywhere..
Broom lying at an angle against the wall.
Since Roman often goes for walks in the morning, Hans got up earlier and swept the trails with a broom..
no one ordered it.
Even if there were days when Roman missed a walk due to other work, he always kept the trails neatly organized in preparation for any unexpected situation..
And when I returned to the dorm, I packed the things in the cabinet next to the broom..
A towel if Roman sweats a lot, and related items if he wants to take a shower. My closet was filled with things that had nothing to do with me..
There was a blanket on the floor.
My body didn't accept the soft bed, and there was a calendar by my bedside that had Roman's schedule neatly organized..
‘Tomorrow is a regular meeting day..’
Roman's Schedule.
recorded everything.
On the day of the meeting, I organized and filed materials, and I packed supplies in case my office ran out of ink and paper..
I also checked the current status of the people attending the meeting to see if there were any changes..
These are details that Roman would not be able to notice if no changes occurred, but Hans tried to manage everything so that Roman would not feel the slightest discomfort..
Hans' successor.
There was a reason why Murphy was crying..
At first, I thought it was just a matter of doing chores, but Hans' day had less time to catch his breath than expected..
Stand tall.
gaze stopped.
He smiled and smiled.
It was a worn out toy..
When Roman was young, he once gave his favorite toy as a gift to Hans, who took care of him every day..
You probably won't remember.
The sons of noblemen had many toys, and this was just one of them..
but.
Hans never forgot that moment..
“……young master.”
Dmitry's sore finger.
Roman's childhood was heartbreaking..
Baron Romero was not a man with a great greed for power, but when he was a commoner, he worked day and night to overcome the limitations of his social status..
There was no time to take care of my only son..
Going back and forth to the iron mine, blacksmith shop, and business partners was repeated every day, and Rihanna spent her hectic days taking care of Baron Romero..
Roman naturally fell out of favor..
They said they were doing their best, but at an age when Roman needed attention, he had no choice but to learn how to live alone..
and.
became a nobleman.
Baron Romero gave many gifts to his son, whom he had not been able to take care of, but at that time Roman Dmitry had become crooked..
Power and money. It became the foundation for deviation.
A child who lived on the borderline between commoners and nobles expressed his presence by drinking and raising his voice to fill the gaping hole in his heart..
Hans knew it.
Since she herself was raising her son, she took care of him until the end no matter how much of a jerk Roman acted..
Even if people criticize Roman.
Hans could never forget Roman, who smiled brightly as he handed him a toy..
“……Ugh.”
Drop, drop.
tears flowed.
I burst into tears, my emotions rose..
I am a servant.
Since ordinary nobles look down on servants, Roman thought that he was really happy just to remember his hard work..
It was an undeserved treatment..
If you listen to the stories of servants from other families, instead of being recognized like Roman Dmitri, there were many cases where their eyes lit up if they made even the slightest mistake..
however.
Roman spoke his truth today.
He mentioned that he is not a being who only gives, but a being who can get back as much as he gives..
“Ugh, huh.”
I couldn't stop crying.
servant.
born lowly.
It is a fact that everyone knows and a reality that no one can deny..
Such an existence.
Roman treated me like a person..
Hans couldn't stop crying at the fact that there was a day when he would receive back the feelings he had blindly given away because they probably couldn't be returned..
The carriage that took her, Adelian's guards as escorts, a baptism of gifts from nobles in the northeast, and a letter of recommendation for admission to Glory Academy for her granddaughter..
What happens to you is not important..
the emotions contained within.
The fact that Roman Dmitry recognized his sincerity made Hans burst out with the emotions he had been suppressing for so long..
It wasn't sad at all.
I'm not really sad, but I couldn't hold back my tears..
I cried so hard.
The servant who usually held his breath wondering if he would come outside.
I poured out my emotions without worrying about what others thought..
That day, until late at night.
Hans couldn't sleep..
And by order of Roman Dmitry, no one disturbed Hans' long night..

birthday party incident.
the rumor spread.
Although it was unintentional, the events of that day proved once again how much Roman Dmitry cares about people..
Phoenix Magic Tower.
Leaders gathered for a meeting mentioned the birthday party incident..
“……Well, I don't know how to express this. When I first set foot in Dmitri, I was very dissatisfied with the Mage Tower's actions. Why did they come to this remote territory to make money? No matter how much the Phoenix Magic Tower's status has fallen, isn't it to this extent? However, looking at recent events, I feel keenly that my insight was lacking..”
It was Knox.
In response to the eyes looking at him, he spoke his honest feelings..
“Roman Dmitry. Our new master has done a lot for the Phoenix Tower. They took great care of the relocation process, allocated a large budget, and prepared a site for the magic tower for the future. We haven't done anything for you yet. In a really snobbish way, I thought maybe it was an investment for something I would get back in the future. Wasn't the Frankish kingdom the same? They acted like they were going to remove our liver and gallbladder from us, but as soon as the Mage Tower went missing, they treated us like worthless trash who only sucked up money..”
The negative view is.
It came from the pain of the past.
A man in his 50s who thought all favors had a purpose felt like he had been hit on the head when he heard about the birthday party incident..
“Roman Dmitry is different. The eldest son of a noble family has nothing to gain from servants. Cruel as it may be, it is reality, but the lord threw a grand party for Hans just because he was his. It doesn't matter if you mean it or not. At least he is a person who works hard for his people. That alone makes us worthy of following our lord..”
last 3 years.
The Phoenix Magic Tower was festering from within..
The Mage Tower owner went missing, Felix showed his inadequacy as an agent, and there was no hope for Phoenix's future..
everything has changed.
Since arriving at Dmitry, Nox has never been this happy..
“Lord Magic Tower. I'm really sorry for all this time.”
In the meantime.
Nox called Felix by his first name..
I gave him an honorific title, but I didn't call him Magic Tower Lord..
“The magic tower lord's insight was right. The Tower Lord guided the collapsing Phoenix Tower to the right path, and we eventually found the way forward. From now on, I will completely follow the Mage Tower Lord. From now on, I want to become a person who is trusted by the Mage Tower lord and the lord. so. Please forget the mistakes of the past and lead me and other wizards well in the future..”
I lowered my head..
Nox is the center of wizards.
The oath of loyalty he uttered meant that the Phoenix Magic Tower was completely under Felix's control..
Felix laughed..
Knox's actions.
I could understand it well.
Knowing that he was also a person who cared about Phoenix, Felix accepted his feelings..
“i get it. Here in Dmitri, we will live a different life than before..”
that day.
The Phoenix Magic Tower is united as one..
People declared there was no future for Phoenix, but now they have a center they didn't have before.
Under the name Roman Dmitry.
So, the Phoenix Magic Tower began to return to its original form..
* * *
time has passed.
1years later.
Finally, the moment Roman had predicted has arrived..
