10years ago.
Daniel Cairo was just a puppet.
A being who has no sense of self and is unable to do anything even though he is swayed by external forces that are eating away at Cairo. It was the typical reality of a ruined country..
If he was the future of this country, Balon chose to close the training center, thinking that Cairo itself might fall, let alone avenge his brother..
But when I first met him after a long time, he was so different..
As he, with his stern face, pushed his minions back, they bowed their heads and followed the king's orders..
It was a fine point.
10A year ago, even the minions looked down on Daniel Cairo, but their expressions and behavior showed their respect for the king..
Daniel Cairo's attitude of accepting it naturally.
Balon realized that a lot had changed from the strength he felt from the veterans who had gone through life and death..
sat on the floor.
Daniel Cairo asked, gesturing to his minions that it was okay..
“Where have you been all this time?.”
Balon was a promising prosecutor..
Like Count Nicholas, he was the future of Cairo, and when he disappeared, people could not help but feel sad..
So the two talked. Although we weren't that close 10 years ago, we listened to each other's changing reality..
Balon said frantically..
How miserable he has been living all this time, and that he does not know how to live now that he has lost his goal of revenge..
I feel better.
After spitting out everything, Balon looked at Daniel Cairo with questioning eyes..
“I heard the story of Cairo. He joined forces with Dmitri to defeat Kronos. It may be presumptuous to ask now, but wasn't it difficult to make the choice to welcome Dmitry into the kingdom? It may be an obvious choice for those who talk about the consequences, but it is definitely not an easy choice..”
Daniel Cairo laughed.
The world has changed.
In a world centered on Roman Dmitry, it is natural to prioritize Dmitry now, but as Balon asked, Daniel Cairo made a difficult decision..
Actually, I thought about this several times..
To never forget his past and to always make the best decisions for Cairo..
Daniel Cairo said.
“It wasn't a very difficult problem for me. Because I knew how lacking I was, I had to choose the best alternative to solve my problems. His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry is a man who never abandons those who believe in him. I saw the future of Cairo in his power and character, and I simply bet my position and the future of Cairo on him..”
“……Are you still satisfied with that choice??”
“no. I admit that it was for the best, but it would have been better if Cairo had been able to solve the country's problems on its own. Balon. The world has changed a lot while you were gone. From what happened in the past, I feel grateful to His Majesty, Emperor Roman Dmitry, and that is why I will do my best to make Cairo a subject country as long as I live. But that doesn't mean Cairo's problems can be blamed on Dmitry alone..”
The level of the national cemetery was high..
As he watched the sun setting in the distance, Daniel Cairo revealed his true feelings..
“Human life is a series of hardships. Just as Kronos, who seemed unbreakable, fell to his knees, a time will come when Cairo will have to deal with his own problems. At that time, I hope Cairo can hold its own. He hopes to overcome external danger without anyone's help..”
I looked at Balon..
His lost eyes were shaking violently with the flow of emotions..
“That is the future of Cairo in my opinion, and it is to fulfill my duty as king..”
that day.
Balon saw a new future.
Daniel Cairo, who had matured, was a person worthy of dedicating his life to revenge..
It was a story the world could not know..
The fruit of his 10-year quest for revenge was his pledge of allegiance to Daniel Cairo on a meadow as the sun was setting..
* * *
Around that time.
There's a problem in Arcadia.
As the dark elves moved to Arcadia, conflict arose with the regular elves who settled there first..
Leader of the common elves.
Tersha said.
“Everything else is good. However, we cannot tolerate people crossing into our territory and committing murder. Isn't this the first time something like this has happened? When we heard the news that the Dark Elves were moving to Arcadia, we welcomed it, but we can't stand it anymore if they continue to cross the line..”
It was a firm voice..
Tersha strengthened her voice as representatives of each race and Rodwell Dmitry, the lord of Luna, watched..
but.
The dark elves did not take the problem lightly..
Darkan, the representative of the Dark Elves, distorted his expression and openly revealed his discomfort..
“The elves' demands are very unreasonable. They may be able to survive by eating only grass and fruit, but that is not the case for dark elves. We must eat meat. And in Arcadia, which is only now regaining its original form, there are few lands suitable for hunting, including the realm of the elves. Of course, the problem could be solved by raising livestock, but if all problems were solved peacefully, the fighting instinct engrained in the dark elves' bones might disappear. That's why we must go hunting periodically..”
“This is a contradictory statement. You brought up the issue of food, but didn't you just want to hunt??”
“That is the instinct of dark elves. If I told you that I would not allow you to interact with nature, would you accept that??”
A war of words broke out.
Dark elves and normal elves.
There was not an inch of retreat..
However, unlike those people who were fighting with red faces, each representative did not seem to care much..
relationship between the two.
It was an enmity from the beginning..
Although they came from the same roots, everything was different, so they had no choice but to encounter many things while living in Arcadia..
Each time a tribal council was convened..
Rodwell Dmitri was the lord of Luna and was in charge of managing it, and he made decisions while representatives of all races looked on..
at last.
It was Rodwell Dmitry's part..
“Flora. what do you think.”
his gaze turned to one side.
The woman who had been in charge of Arcadia's administrative affairs spoke in a calm voice..
“In order to coexist in Arcadia, not all demands can be accommodated. However, a reasonable level of compromise is possible. How about holding a hunting competition nearby periodically to help the dark elves solve their meat-eating and hunting problems? If they do not accept it even after suggesting a certain solution, it can only be taken as an intention to simply invade the elves' territory. Of course, if you do not accept hunting in elf territory, this problem will become the responsibility of both parties..”
It wasn't a perfect solution.
The free hunting that the Dark Elves wanted, and the slaughter that took place in the Elves' territory, were not the perfect methods that both races wanted, but they could not be rejected..
In a situation where coexistence is necessary no matter what, it suggests a way to resolve the superficial reasons..
furthermore.
“Time will solve the problems that arise now. If the Dark Elves' territory is completely established, then there will be no troubles like this..”
Emphasized that it was a temporary measure..
If the land that was frozen by the cold regains its perfect state, the dark elves will be able to satisfy all their needs without having to go beyond the elves' territory..
After saying that much, I had nothing to add. Seeing that the representatives of the two races were reluctant to speak, Rodwell Dmitry made a decision with a smile..
“If so, I will organize this issue according to Flora Lawrence's opinion..”
Bang bang!
everyone nodded.
Arcadia.
At least in this land, Rodwell Dmitry was someone everyone trusted..
* * *
that evening.
Rodwell Dmitry was at the training ground.
After repeating the movements countless times, his whole body was drenched in sweat..
“Rodwell. I'm really thinking about entering the competition.?”
Meanwhile at the training ground.
There was Flora Lawrence..
When Rodwell Dmitry saw her coming after hearing a noise while passing by, he stopped moving and looked at her..
“Before I am the lord of Luna, I am a swordsman. If the ranking match is a place where I can prove that I am a prosecutor, then it would be worth putting down my position and taking on the challenge..”
“……That's amazing.”
Flora Lawrence laughed lightly..
3years ago.
The two who chose to go to Arcadia became friends due to their similar ages and shared experiences on the Western Front..
Of course, to the outside world, they were just the lord and his staff..
However, when they were together, they spoke comfortably, and over time, their relationship became so close that they could tell each other their concerns..
Rodwell Dmitry took a step forward..
He put his sword aside, wiped his sweat with the towel he had prepared in advance, and spoke in an indifferent voice..
“After this competition is over, I will make a formal request to the Lawrence family..”
“what?”
“you and my marriage.”
Startle.
At that moment, Flora Lawrence reacted in surprise..
When she couldn't say anything with her shaking eyes, Rodwell Dmitry looked at her with unwavering eyes..
“Until now, I have been suppressing my will because my brother has no intention of getting married, but now that Lauren has had an accident, I can't wait any longer. So please be aware. After Lauren's wedding is over and I'm done with the competition, I'm going to go see your father and tell him the truth..”
Rodwell Dmitry's sincerity.
I knew it a long time ago.
3From the point of rejection a year ago, Rodwell Dmitry has proven his feelings with unwavering attitude..
It's not just an arranged marriage, it's sincere..
If she didn't like that feeling, she would have rejected it, but now, three years later, Flora Lawrence smiled brightly without even realizing it..
“Yeah, let's do that..”
* * *
Currently Dmitry was in a festive mood..
Lauren Dmitri.
Dmitry's third son announced the news of his marriage..
In fact, as Roman Dmitry continued to postpone his marriage, everyone waited for good news..
However, Lauren Dmitri, who was not second, had an accident first..
One day, he brought the person he liked into his family and declared to his parents that he truly wanted to marry them..
It would have been something to laugh about now, but at the time, the family was shocked by the sudden declaration..
Where is Dmitry?.
It is the emperor's family line..
Marriage with Loren Dmitri meant joining the emperor's family, so Romero Dmitri summoned members of the family and seriously considered it..
The conclusion was to allow it..
He, who had once had a bad experience with an arranged marriage, was okay with anyone as long as it was someone his son truly liked..
step.
Under the premise that there are no defects in personality.
Fortunately, the woman Lauren Dmitry brought in was a very nice person, and from then on everything went smoothly..
So the wedding day came..
Many people flocked from early in the morning to celebrate Lauren Dmitry's marriage, and since it was such a special day, Knight Commander Jonathan, head of the Imperial Knights, served as the special gatekeeper..
“welcome.”
“Welcome to Dmitry.”
“Let me guide you..”
Key figures from each country.
People of great status arrived one after another..
After the Conquest of the Demon World.
The world literally became Dmitri's world, and people sincerely acknowledged Dmitri, unlike when Kronos and Valhalla were the two major mountains..
Dmitry was a country worth it..
Rather than simply passing all the burden on to other countries, it showed the dignity of the empire as if it had led the conquest of the demon world..
for that reason.
This event was a must to attend..
It was also an event for the Dmitry family, and it was very easy to make friends with bigwigs at an event like this..
opportunity.
People kept pouring in.
It was then.
Knight Commander Jonathan's expression brightened when he noticed the two people coming in together..
“Marquis Fabius!”
“Oh, it's been a while..”
Dmitry's power.
It was Fabius..
He held hands with a bright face, and right next to him was an equally important person..
There was no great power like Fabius..
But social position.
And he was a very important person in this event..
Amy's cousin who is the head of the department at the Cairo Royal Academy and has promised to marry Lauren Dmitry..
Yes.
“Nice to meet you, Knight Commander Jonathan..”
Henry Albert held out his hand to Knight Commander Jonathan with a smiling face..
