kingdom union.
It refers to the four kingdoms in the southwestern part of the Salamander Continent, which geographically border the Cronos Empire and the Valhalla Empire, and created the 'Kingdom Alliance' to protect each other..
They, like Cairo, have always been sensitive to issues related to the empire..
The difference is that they are still united internally, but people say they would never have compromised if there had been no threat from the Empire..
water and oil.
A union united for survival.
They instinctively realized how important Roman Dmitry was..
A few days before the proclamation of the Principality of Dmitry.
At Umberto's royal court, a meeting was held under the leadership of Count Verdi..
“His Majesty the King. The civil war in Cairo that took place this time is an unusual event with no similar example in the history of the Salamander Continent. In the meantime, there were incidents of people taking revenge out of anger at the atrocities of the empire. But the ending has never been as clean as this one. Roman Dmitry boldly opened the gates, killed Count Fabio and Commander Gustavo, and drew in the alliance of our kingdoms to prepare for the Empire's wrath. It means that he is a person who knows how to use his head as well as his brute force..”
Roman Dmitry.
His actions shocked the continent..
People held their breath and took notice of everything Roman Dmitry did..
“The atrocities of the Kronos Empire are getting worse day by day. So far, we are somehow holding on thanks to the power of the kingdom alliance, but there is no guarantee that we will be safe forever. Roman Dmitry. We must make him a member of Umberto's kingdom. At the same time, he is unmarried. If we can secure Roman Dmitri by proceeding with his marriage to the princess, Umberto's future will be secure..”
“Count Verdi. Doesn’t the princess have someone she admires now?.”
“This is not the time to worry about such personal feelings. The situation on the continent is changing all the time. Considering the power that the Principality of Dmitry showed in this war, I cannot dare to imagine how much they will grow. Now is your chance. Roman Dmitry. Furthermore, we must accept the Principality of Dmitry.”
Breaking off the engagement.
It's the only flaw.
It may have been an issue in the past, but now it doesn't seem like a flaw..
Roman Dmitry defeated Knight Commander Gustavo in his mid-20s and is the heir to the Dmitry Principality. It was revealed that even the Phoenix Tower became Dmitry's affiliated group through this war..
As they were also wealthy owners of the continent's largest iron mine, they were truly perfect allies with financial resources..
My mouth was watering..
In response to Count Verdi's strong argument, King Umberto said:.
“i get it. I will give you full authority over this matter, so make sure that your marriage with Roman Dmitry goes through..”
“I obey orders.”
however.
The situation was no different in other kingdoms..
Redford of the Kingdom Union, Kingdom of Odelia.
The same thing was said in all countries except the Franks..
so that.
Now that Dmitry's party has figured out each other's intentions, they instinctively know that war has begun..
* * *
This time too, the player was Count Verdi..
As if the representatives of the other kingdoms didn't care, he turned towards Duke Romero and spoke openly..
“This is it. I tried to restrain myself because I felt like I was bragging, but I still had to say something. Duke Dmitry. Princess Umberto is called the most beautiful woman in Umberto, and she is a person with both beauty and wisdom, so much so that she graduated with excellent grades from a prestigious academy. In fact, many kingdoms wanted her to marry Princess Umberto, but she flatly refused, saying that His Majesty King Umberto could not give her daughter away..”
It's not a lie.
In fact, Princess Umberto received the attention of many men, and was so famous that it was said that she could actually be chosen to marry..
“However, His Majesty King Umberto also said that he would welcome a man the size of Roman Dmitri with open arms. They really make a great pair, don't they? Umberto's best woman and Dmitri's best man are getting married. I am confident that this is a decision for the future of both countries..”
Immediately after praising the princess.
Raised Roman Dmitry to the same level..
Count Verdi was confident that the speaking method that melted the opponent's heart would definitely work..
however.
“Count Verdi. I've heard all about Princess Umberto's reputation, but isn't there someone you admire? According to rumors, she often meets with a man from the Baron family and talks about the future. Is that the end of the story??”
It was Viscount Ringo..
When he mentioned what he had kept secret, Count Verdi reacted as if he were having a fit..
“What does that mean? This is a rumor that has absolutely nothing to do with the facts..”
“Hey, it's a public fact. Why are you denying it so much? Duke Dmitry. People who have a partner are happy when they hang out with that partner. Just by any chance, please tell me what kind of woman you want. As soon as I return to the kingdom, I will compile a list of women from prestigious families. There is no need to worry about any issues related to the breakup of the engagement. No one will ever have an issue with that..”
“Viscount Ringo!”
The atmosphere became harsh..
As Count Verdi blushed and looked sharp in his eyes, Marquis Marten spoke this time:.
“Everyone, please do it in moderation. Dmitry's marriage is not something we can discuss. It is for the future of the Principality of Dmitry, so you need to choose carefully. Absolutely. The only country that matches the Principality of Dmitry is Odelia. Think about it. The situation is not so good for Umberto and Redford right now, so wouldn't it be too greedy to hope for a marriage with Duchy Dmitry??”
“This person!”
crossed the line.
Even Viscount Ringo, who had shown a relaxed expression, exploded in a situation where the odds were against him..
“What a foolish thing to do all of a sudden in such a good place! Marquis Marten. I thought he was a nice person, but I never expected him to be this rude. apologize right now!”
“What kind of apple is an apple! Duke Dmitry didn't say anything, but you guys who unilaterally force marriage are really rude.!”
There was an uproar.
It was just as the public said..
They only banded together to survive, but they didn't get along like oil and water..
The atmosphere is getting hotter.
Duke Romero said.
“Everyone please stop.”
Stand tall.
For a moment, silence came.
Everyone had to look good to Duke Romero, so they didn't want to make the atmosphere bad by going against his words..
“Roman's marriage is not up to me to decide. I am not interested in an arranged marriage. If Roman brings back the love of her life, it will not be for the sake of the country, but because he has met the woman he truly loves. So you don’t have to do this to me. Try seducing Roman instead. If you are the woman who takes my son's heart, I will welcome you with open arms..”
In those words.
The kingdom representatives looked at each other again..
Apparently, they had something to do on their way back..
* * *
At that time there was a lot of commotion.
Baron Larsson, the representative of the Frankish Kingdom, had more important issues to resolve than his marriage with Roman Dmitri..
“Felix.”
“……Baron Larsson?”
Meanwhile at the party.
Felix, who was chatting with people in groups, noticed Baron Larsson and his eyes widened..
The two were familiar with each other..
To be exact, he was a person who played a very large role in attracting Phoenix to Frank..
“Are you here as a representative of the Franks??”
“you're right. Anyway, can we talk about it separately??”
“……All right. Come here..”
took a step.
As we moved to the deserted terrace, Baron Larsson immediately got to the point..
“When the Phoenix Magic Tower suddenly disappeared, His Majesty the King of Frankish was very confused. I will not ask you why you moved to the Principality of Dmitry. Could you please come back to Frank? We are fully reflecting on the inconveniences we have caused so far, and we will not spare any support for the Phoenix Tower in the future. This I can promise you on my name..”
civil war in cairo.
In the process of Roman Dmitry's rise to fame, there was a force that attracted people's attention along with him..
It was Phoenix.
They are rated as the lowest among the magic towers on the continent, and have shown the realization of burning, which has been known to have been lost..
The sight of Felix destroying Benedict Castle was truly overwhelming, and the prevailing opinion was that they should be re-evaluated just because they found Bigi..
Such rumors.
Frank was in an uproar..
They thought Phoenix was no longer useful.
The Magic Tower is a monster that constantly sucks up money, but the Phoenix Magic Tower that lost its secret was not worth investing that much money in..
But what is this? Things have changed.
In the process of secretly cutting off support, Phoenix suddenly emptied the magic tower and disappeared, appearing in a state that perfectly embodied 'Burning'..
The light went down on fire.
Thinking that the Phoenix was originally their power, the Frankish Kingdom urgently sent someone..
A look of regret was evident on Baron Larsson's face..
Even as I spoke out, I realized that I was shameless..
just as expected.
Felix's expression hardened..
“You know it well. Frank broke his promise to Phoenix..”
“This time it's different than before. I am responsible…….”
“no. Any suggestions you make will be of no use. After moving to Dmitry, do you know what was the first thought that came to my mind? I learned that this is what it feels like to be trusted. Dmitry didn't just demand performance from us, he respected each other and went above and beyond on his initial promises..”
After the war.
Phoenix received a lot of calls..
Everyone said they wanted to make Phoenix their home, but despite the huge offers, the answer was the same..
“We have sworn allegiance to Roman Dmitry. It's not a matter of conditions. We've found someone who recognizes our worth, and we have no intention of finding another path until he lets us go first. So go back to Frank and speak to His Majesty the King. My relationship with Frank is now over..”
I took a step back.
With that kind of appearance.
Baron Larsson couldn't bear to catch him..
Even though Frank occupied an advantageous position, he made the mistake of losing his treasure to Dmitry, who was just a member of a noble family..
I had a headache.
Baron Larsson was worried about how to return to the kingdom and report..
* * *
Same dream, different dream).
In the limited space of a party hall, people moved for different purposes..
Roman Dmitry looked down from above.
‘The two empires did not send anyone. The Kronos Empire has already announced its purpose by announcing the assassination, and the Valhalla Empire has revealed its intention not to ignore the death of Count Denver through this declaration ceremony..’
Empire.
Their position is solid..
People call Kronos the evil of the continent, but the Valhalla Empire could not be seen as such a good group..
How did Valhalla live until it reached the status of an empire?.
Of course, they proved their power by trampling on the surrounding kingdoms, and like Kronos, they did not allow their status to fall..
It was the same.
Just as Kronos predicted the assassination, Valhalla will also consider it necessary to avenge the Count of Denver..
people who follow the empire.
revenge for them.
In order for the empire to exist as an empire, there was no problem that could be overlooked..
‘The situation on the continent is changing rapidly. The Kronos Empire has openly revealed its ambitions to conquer the continent, and everyone knows that the Valhalla Empire also has many ambitions. Just as the representatives of the kingdoms are gathered here, the future will be a fight between the empire and the kingdom union..’
kingdom union.
The weak joined forces.
Frank, Umberto, Redford, Odelia.
And Cairo and Hector.
Roman Dmitry had no intention of blindly trusting the coalition of the weak..
Coming together because the powers are weak would mean that the moment someone betrays and joins the strong, the balance of power will collapse..
‘Alliances with neighboring kingdoms are temporary. In the end, you must be able to fight the empire on your own.’
My throat burned..
The moment I took a sip of wine, Hans came up to me and said:.
“young master. Guests are waiting in the reception room.”
“There will be no guests who have been promised in advance. Who's waiting for me?”
Guests visiting the reception room.
He is right.
“I am the prince of the Kingdom of Hector..”
a few days ago.
Edwin Hector was an unexpected person looking for Roman, who embarrassed Commander Jonathan, who guarded the castle gate..
