196Duchy of Dmitry (1)
Four factions in Cairo.
Among them, three factions walked the path of downfall..
Those who directly participated in the rebellion, such as the Marquis Benedict, were without exception subjected to bloody purges, and the future of those who followed Count Gregory and the Count of Denver was determined by the severity of the mistakes they had committed..
Naturally, those who actively acted as minions did not escape the same fate as the traitors, but those who observed the surroundings and maintained the right course were able to save their lives..
this civil war.
It was a problem that completely turned the country upside down..
The number of them was too large to punish them just for joining another faction, so there was no choice but to distinguish between forgivable and non-forgivable crimes..
This was a decision everyone agreed on..
I would like to pay the full price, but if I do that, Cairo's national power will be weakened beyond recovery..
instead.
Daniel Cairo, who concluded the situation by freeing Kronos' prisoners, held a grand ceremony for those who believed in him until the end..
People gathered in front of the Royal Palace in Cairo.
In front of them, the names of the heroes who saved the country were read out one by one and awards were given..
“Count Vandenberg, commander of the Western Front, proudly defeated the Kronos Empire's attacks and raised the status of Cairo. Accordingly, I, Daniel Cairo, will bestow the title of Marquis on Count Vandenberg and grant him appropriate land and manpower..”
It was an unconventional greeting..
There are only two people in the kingdom.
After the death of one of them, Marquis Benedict, Daniel Cairo appointed Count Vandenberg as the new Marquis..
and.
“On the Western Front, in addition to Count Vandenberg, there are other heroes who risk their lives against the Kronos Empire. Baron Noel, Flora Laurence... … Rodwell Dmitry has made a remarkable contribution on the Western Front, and we will give them a promotion and a reward of 1000 gold each..”
“Oooh!”
“Wow.”
People went crazy.
The excessive rewards given to the heroes of the Western Front proved that Daniel Cairo was not a stingy man..
In addition, the non-gong peddler continued..
Not only those who defeated Kronos, but also those who organized the rebellion against Marquis Benedict were naturally included in the prize..
king's people.
Roman Dmitry's men, including Count Fabius.
It was a festive atmosphere..
Even as people cheered, at some point their expectations for one person began to build..
Roman Dmitry.
What kind of reward will be given to him?.
Common sense dictates that the best treatment be given, but scandalous rumors began to circulate immediately after the execution ceremony..
“Daniel Cairo has taken control of Cairo by clearing out three factions, but does that mean anything now that Roman Dmitry exists? Roman Dmitry's power is stronger than the three factions. Maybe he will form a force that will swallow up the royal family in one fell swoop, so it is not right to give him an award that grants him power. In order for the Cairo royal family to maintain its meaning. It may be a bit cruel, but we have to cut off Roman Dmitry in a reasonable manner..”
shift of power.
At the center was Roman Dmitry..
The great abilities he demonstrated paradoxically became a risk factor for the royal family..
Just as the Cairo royal family was unable to control the other three factions.
It was clear that Roman Dmitry would grow up to be untouchable by the royal family..
Tosagupeng (兔死狗烹)).
People's speculations fueled the rumors..
He came to power thanks to Roman Dmitry, but there were rumors that Daniel Cairo might fall from grace..
people's gaze.
Attention was focused.
In response to their confused looks, Daniel Cairo spoke in a stern voice:.
“This war would never have been won if it had not been for the help of Roman Dmitry and the Dmitry family. I, Daniel Cairo, will recognize their contributions and bestow the title of duke to the Dmitry family, and recognize the northeastern region, including Dmitry, as the land of the principality. Additionally, we promise to provide the necessary knowledge and manpower so that they can establish themselves as one country..”
king's proclamation.
He put an end to people's doubts once and for all..

this choice.
I didn't know the danger.
But at a meeting held at the Royal Palace in Cairo, royalists spoke with one voice:.
“This is a fight won thanks to Roman Dmitry. He deserves compensation.”
“you're right. There are currently scandalous rumors circulating in Cairo, but we cannot be deceived by such words and abandon the blessings the royal family has received. We have lived in a world where extraordinary things are common. It was a world where there were four voices even though His Majesty the King existed, and people who devoted themselves to the country were not treated appropriately. What if I make the same decision this time? The past is bound to repeat itself. We must show people what they want, what is common sense and obvious..”
they knew too.
one decision.
It will cause Dmitry to grow out of control..
Even so, those who lived in a world of unreason hoped that Cairo would make the right decision..
Daniel Cairo said.
“My thoughts are the same as yours. It does not matter that the Dmitry family has enough power to surpass the three factions..”
series of events.
Daniel Cairo saw and felt things he would never experience in his life..
As experiences piled up in the heart of the young king, his own clear standards emerged..
“Cairo's future begins with acknowledging reality. Dmitry is someone that Cairo cannot embrace. Even if they tried to control them, in the process of defeating Marquis Benedict, they proved to the world that they possessed power beyond Cairo. In that case, it is correct to think of Dmitry not as a principality in the general sense, but as a friendly country on equal footing with us..”
It is not a relationship between a military and a god..
Dmitry may view Cairo as a military vassal, but Cairo could not take their loyalty for granted..
“Cairo has faced enemies both internal and external. Outside the border, external forces were seething, and inside, traitors trying to sell out the country threatened the security of the country. If only we weren't too greedy to force Dmitry into submission. As long as Cairo does not go beyond territory it cannot handle, Cairo can secure Dmitry, who has the same roots, as a reliable ally..”
no more.
didn't shake.
My mind was cleared and I could see the way forward..
I will keep my promise.
And, I planned to draw a new future for Cairo through my relationship with Dmitry..
“I want to make the most of Cairo's hard-won opportunity. A country with common sense. A country that thinks about national interests. Recognizing Dmitry as an ally is just a new beginning. People may think that a large chunk is leaving Cairo, but by acknowledging their existence, we have the opportunity to create our own country. so that. The day Dmitry officially declared the founding of the country..”
looked around at the people.
The Cairo royal family looked united for the first time.
“I, Daniel Cairo, will be there with pleasure.”

The proclamation of Dmitry's principality took place a week later..
A party was scheduled along with the proclamation ceremony at Dmitry, but at some point, rumors about Roman Dmitry began to spread..
“I'm really a guy.”
“I told you so. From the time he defeated Hector's kingdom on the southern front, Roman Dmitry was barely able to remain as the eldest son of a baronial family. King Daniel Cairo also read the trend. Cairo settled the long-troubled factional fight in just a few days and even defeated the Kronos Empire, so how could it be hostile to Roman Dmitry??”
“But how far will Roman Dmitry grow? It is said that Commander Gustavo of Kronos also won..”
At first it was just admiration..
People in Cairo praised Roman Dmitry's achievements, and the rumors gained weight as they spread across the continent..
How great was Roman Dmitry?.
By revisiting past events, it was emphasized that the hero of Cairo was not someone who could be simply dismissed as a 'frog in a well'..
“Was there anyone in the world who showed growth like Roman Dmitry??”
“I can assure you that there is not a single such monster. Even the being who is currently said to be the best swordsman on the continent could not reach the level of 5 stars at Roman Dmitry's age. They are showing moves that are truly untouchable..”
“……Really, maybe, for the first time on the continent, a kingdom swordsman who surpasses the 50th rank among demons will appear..”
50th place in magic.
It was the limit of the kingdom people said.
Count Nicholas or any other person.
No one from the kingdom has ever put their name up there..
As a result, Roman Dmitry's name was bound to become an even more hot topic..
20If he had the strength to defeat Gustavo in his mid-teens, his potential for development would be endless, and it was predicted that he might even surpass the 50th rank before he turns 30..
Is it because it was an unusual move?.
People across the continent mentioned Roman Dmitry regardless of their country, and people could be seen talking about him everywhere..
Even in a shabby pub.
After finishing their work, people tipped their glasses of beer and imitated swinging their swords as if they were Roman Dmitry..
When I go out on the street.
The bards sang about Roman Dmitry's exploits..
Anywhere other than Cairo, Roman Dmitry has become a celebrity who is considered strange if you don't know him..
The more this happened, the higher Dmitry's status soared..
Although he was only a baronial family in Cairo, the power that Dmitry showed in the process of settling the civil war was remarkable..
Cairo even declared that it would recognize them as one kingdom. Interest in Roman Dmitry was directly linked to Dmitry..
It was said that a family that would cause great upheaval on the continent in the future was taking its first steps as a principality, so naturally the eyes and ears of the continent had no choice but to turn to Dmitry..
however.
The series of rumors was not so natural.
Of course, it is true that the rumor spread by the wind, but it started from a mansion in Kairos..

A mansion in Kairos.
The man received a report from his subordinate..
“Reactions started coming in from across the continent. The main thing was hiring merchants to spread rumors and telling bards to write poems with Roman Dmitry as the main character. Nowadays, there is no one outside of Cairo who does not know Roman Dmitry. As expected, the master's plan is perfect..”
subordinate's words.
It was as planned.
Wherever you go, you hear Roman Dmitry's name, but the man doesn't look very satisfied..
“no. That's not enough. Roman Dmitry achieved achievements in his entire life that most people would never dare to do. On the southern front, he defeated the Kingdom of Hector, took control of the chaotic northeastern region at once, and this time, he cleared out the rebel army of the Marquis Benedict and even defeated the Kronos Empire. It's only been two years. How long did it take for one baronial family to be called the Principality of Dmitry?.”
Roman's Achievements.
Nothing was easy.
I only mentioned major incidents, but if you look at them in detail, the number of beings defeated in the process was also remarkable..
Hector's Star, Edwin Hector.
Butler, Nicolas and Gustavo rise to continental rankings.
Roman Dmitry's actions were so unconventional that Homer, who was initially defeated, is now thought of as a minnow..
“People who know Roman Dmitry's actions do not know how great he is. However, some people tend to look down on what happened in a small well called Cairo. Those are the people we are targeting. From the end of the continent, to the end of the continent. Everyone on the continent looks up to Roman Dmitry. In order for him to become a hero recognized by the continent, he must not simply achieve a series of great achievements, but also spread his achievements widely so that people can know about them..”
I felt thirsty.
I just couldn't be satisfied with this much..
the man said.
“Ask the family to secure more funds and free up as many people as possible. Rumors are ultimately a battle of messengers. The more people talk about Roman Dmitry, the more it will be on people's lips..”
“All right.”
Suha bowed his head and left the room..
space left alone.
The man grinned, remembering Roman Dmitry..
“Roman Dmitry. Meeting you was a luck that will never happen again in my life..”
identity of the man.
He was none other than Henry Albert, a man of the Southern Front..
