Silence fell..
The crowd gathered at the foot of the execution table could not even breathe properly at the shocking sight..
Drop, drop.
blood flowed.
The blood that flowed from Ares' corpse, which was spread out on the floor, fell drop by drop to the bottom of the execution table, following the caked blood stains..
People agreed with Roman Dmitry's statement.
No matter what achievements Ares had made so far, everyone knew that his betrayal of Dmitri should be executed..
but.
Fear was a separate thing..
The sight of Roman Dmitry looking down at the world with a bloody face made people gasp..
‘Maybe I'm afraid.’
people's emotions.
It was delivered intact..
The fact that Ares was executed meant that no one present would be granted impunity..
So some hoped for just one precedent.
If I ever found myself in Ares' position, I wanted to be reassured at least once that there was a way to survive even at the edge of a cliff..
It was a pure human need for survival, and apart from my loyalty to Roman Dmitry, I had complex emotions..
About this.
chris said.
Everyone agrees with Roman Dmitry's opinion, but their firm attitude that does not allow compromise pushes people to the edge..
If you make a mistake.
If there was any room for forgiveness, people would kneel down and ask for forgiveness, but if unconditional punishment awaited them, they were more likely to choose an extreme option..
It was a complicated problem.
Although it is impossible to determine which is right, Roman Dmitry completely ruled out any ambiguity..
‘There is no perfect leader in the world. People described the martial arts world I ruled as a time of peace and prosperity, but there were definitely people who were suffering. But I can't say that the way I did it was wrong or right..’
past life.
reached the pinnacle.
There were numerous people under Baek Jung-hyuk, and it was impossible from the beginning to rule to the satisfaction of all of them..
Therefore, clear standards were needed..
As Chris advised, the politics of fear that do not allow for precedent will put some people in fear, but at least they will not feel the irrationality of rulings that vary from person to person..
Since it is impossible to satisfy everyone, we set a standard that is at least fair to everyone..
Baek Jung-hyuk’s Moorim.
It was common sense..
Because it was a world based on common sense, people felt awe, not just fear..
‘I cannot be a comfortable being for the people..’
A leader with close and deep bonds with people did not fit Roman Dmitry's desired future..
Both sides must be uncomfortable. Because we know that we can fall out at any time, we cannot be complacent even in times of peace..
that role.
accepted.
From the moment I decided to climb to the top, I was not allowed a single moment of a peaceful sleep..
Zech.
took up the sword.
Roman Dmitry shouted, looking down at the people..
“Remember today. Those who break the laws established by Dmitry will be punished accordingly, regardless of their status. Because they are poor, because they are rich. The standards of punishment will not change. Just as all war criminals have their heads blown off on this spot, there will be no exceptions in the world you will live in from now on..”
People's eyes were shaking.
I was afraid.
My heart was beating like crazy..
But without realizing it, they truly welcomed the world that Roman Dmitry spoke of..
The reverence.
Fear but respect.
People were in awe of Roman Dmitry.
It was then.
“His Majesty King Dmitry is coming.”
For the coronation ceremony, King Dmitry appeared in front of the people..
* * *
people got out of the way.
King Dmitry, walking under the cover of Knight Commander Jonathan, had a completely different atmosphere from the time when he was looked down on as a commoner-born nobleman..
A crown worn on the head and a suit that is moderately ornate but emphasizes the majesty of the king..
His gigantic body, which was one or two heads taller than ordinary people, had the power to make people watching the king's procession from right next to him bow their heads..
I walked slowly.
Naturally accepting people's gaze, King Dmitry looked at Roman Dmitry..
‘Son.’
on the scaffold.
Roman Dmitry was covered in blood..
His well-equipped attire was stained with blood during the execution, and his cold and stern expression was nothing like his days of bewilderment..
Just a few years ago. Dmitry's son was called an idiot and had a sore finger..
I sincerely hoped he would grow up well, but I didn't want him to rise to the throne of emperor and become someone everyone feared..
in moderation.
Not enough, but not too much either..
I wanted Roman Dmitry to live his life at just the right level to be recognized by others..
reality was different.
Dmitry's simpleton changed, and he showed too much talent to be satisfied in a remote fiefdom..
As if a tsunami was coming. In a suddenly changing environment, Roman Dmitry showed dazzling performance and developed quickly..
From a hero on the southern front, he rose to power by suppressing the rebellion in Cairo, becoming the ruler of the northeast, and not only was he a kingdom, but he was also the emperor of an empire..
It was complicated.
It was clear that it was something to be happy about, but King Dmitry had doubts about whether it was really the right thing to do for his son's happiness..
repeated struggle.
bloody face.
And even people's fears.
Roman Dmitry was becoming more and more isolated in living as a human being..
a few days ago.
King Dmitry summoned his son.
He said that if you want to let go of the burden on your back even now, you should withdraw the declaration of empire and enjoy wealth and fame as the successor to Dmitry's kingdom..
It was King Dmitry’s sincerity..
He wanted his son to succeed, but paradoxically, he did not want him to live a lonely life bearing the burden of the entire Salamander Continent..
at that time.
Roman Dmitry said:.
“father. I do not know that the path I am about to choose now is a thorny path. However, the most important value in my opinion is not to be infringed upon by anyone in my future life. In order to make that dream come true, I have to handle it. Even though some people fear me and some may frame me, I must not hesitate to get blood on my hands. This is the life I want. I hope that Roman Dmitry, his father's son, will rise to the throne of emperor and rule this world.”
that day.
King Dmitry accepted his son's choice.
It was the father's job to want his son to live a peaceful life, but to support him if he chose to do so..
And because Roman Dmitry’s will is certain. He felt confident that he could take a step back and watch the future..
I stood on the execution platform.
Once the bodies had been removed, King Dmitry took out a handkerchief and wiped his son's bloody face..
“Son. A lot will change in the future. Even if everything in this world changes, the fact that I am your father does not change. If you need help at any time, leave your position as emperor and come see me..”
laughed.
King Dmitry turned and raised his voice to those who looked up to him..
“From now on, we will declare the birth of the Dmitry Empire and simultaneously hold the coronation ceremony of the new emperor.!”
* * *
It was a grand ceremony.
The priest of the Kingdom of Luna opened the gun by reading a prayer blessing the birth of the empire, and as the ceremony proceeded one by one, envoys from each country delivered their congratulations..
It was a fun place.
Roman Dmitry looked at the scene from the head of the table, and a moment from the past came to mind..
‘I finally achieved what I wanted.’
It was the same in my past life.
The boy who hoped to rise from the bottom of life to the top walked the thorny path and became a being called the Heavenly Demon..
At that time, I thought my life had finally reached stability..
However, as I looked at the people who celebrated me, saw the absence of familiar faces, and experienced a lonely life afterwards, my thoughts changed..
Having a dream come true.
It wasn't just a happy thing.
Afterwards, Baek Jung-hyuk felt that he was not happy due to the overwhelming sense of loss and helplessness..
‘Even knowing that fact, I achieved the same dream. If anyone were to ask me whether I regret my life as Roman Dmitry, I would say emphatically no. Because I can survive only through struggle. Even if the end is vain, you cannot allow yourself to live a moderately compromised life..’
same life.
same purpose.
But it felt different then..
Roman Dmitry's gaze clearly showed a different landscape from his previous life..
Knight Commander Jonathan.
hans.
chris.
Kevin.
many others.
My past life self lost many people I had met at the beginning of my dream, and felt a tremendous sense of loss when I announced that I had become a Heavenly Demon..
Roman Dmitry did not repeat the same mistakes.
It is not that Dmitry made no sacrifices in the process of ascending to the throne of the empire, but he did not stand by and let his people die in vain..
I built a fence.
He gave them knowledge to help them protect themselves..
He drew a line and punished his people so that they could not be touched, and made Dmitry an iron fortress..
The purpose is the same.
many things were different.
I lived a life of struggle with my own choices, and I did not repeat the mistakes I regretted in my past life..
That's why I really enjoyed this place..
Unlike my previous life, where I reached the peak and felt vain, I had expectations that I could live a new life from now on as Roman Dmitri..
Dmitry Empire.
Emperor Dmitry.
It was a new name.
With the people cheering loudly, King Dmitry finally concluded the ceremony..
“Dmitri's successor. Come forward and wear your crown.”
got up from my seat.
He walked forward and stood facing King Dmitry..
Silence fell.
While everyone watched with bated breath, King Dmitry placed a crown on Roman Dmitry's head with a dignified look..
That moment.
“Hereby, I proclaim that my son Roman Dmitry has become emperor of the Dmitry Empire.!”
“Wow!”
“Roman! Roman! roman!”
“Roman! Roman! roman!”
Dmitry Square.
The place was filled with enthusiastic cheers..
* * *
The order is all over.
Roman Dmitry, who ascended to the throne of emperor, appeared in front of people wearing a crown and spoke..
“Meanwhile, the continent has suffered from various dangers. Alexander, the emperor of the Kronos Empire, was the cause of all the problems, and he made a dangerous plan to conquer the continent. I would like to reveal that fact to you here. In the new world you will live in, there will be no hiding the problems that the entire continent must face..”
people became noisy.
alexandr.
It was a being that confused people..
However, they still did not know exactly what danger Alexander's presence meant..
That fact.
I didn't hide it.
The world Roman Dmitry talks about will not block people's eyes and ears and force information on them..
“Alexandre opened a passage to the demon world. The plan has already progressed to a large extent, and one day it will come to this world as a materialized danger. I am not telling you to prepare for war against the demon world. Be alert and aware of the danger, but trust me, Roman Dmitry. As emperor of the Dmitry Empire, I will prepare for war against the demon world. To prevent Alexander's plan from having any impact on this world, I will do whatever it takes to block all dangers..”
It was a tremendous presence..
The Demon World is shocking just by saying it, but people showed their faith in Roman Dmitri without even knowing it..
the emperor said.
Recognize the risks, but trust yourself.
There was a belief that Roman Dmitry, who was barely born as an heir to the frontier and rose to the throne of emperor, would somehow solve even the existence of the demon world, something that only exists in history books..
It was another look of awe.
Since people were afraid of Roman Dmitry, they were also confident that he would not fall..
blindly believed.
Their emperor, the one who will rule this world.
With brightly shining eyes, people expressed their strong belief that they would follow Roman Dmitry..
Looking at them like that.
Roman Dmitry concluded the ceremony..
“From now on, put off your worries and worries. I will not allow a single exception for criminals, but I will compensate those who have contributed to this country sufficiently to make their sacrifices seem excessive. Those who will be called from now on are asked to come forward. Let's start the merit award.!”
