capital of cairo.
Where is the most luxurious place in Kairos??
People from other countries would naturally say royal palaces when asked that question, but people who actually experienced it said something different..
“The mansion of Marquis Benedict is the most famous attraction in Kairos..”
benedict.
He is said to be a powerful figure in the central government and a living power. He built a mansion symbolizing his power not far from the royal palace..
A place you are bound to encounter on your way to the royal palace..
He was so central to his power that it was said that one had to catch the eye of the Marquis Benedict in order to enter the palace..
To him like that.
A piece of news came from the outskirts..
“Is that true??”
Tuk.
I put down the pen I was signing with..
The middle-aged man, with his white hair stylishly slicked back, looked at the family treason as if asking him to speak quickly..
“Yes, based on what I found out, it seems to be true. Willas of the Valhalla Temple personally went down to Dmitri and confirmed that he was a 3-star aura swordsman, and after compiling the testimonies of those who were at the scene of the Great Temple battle, it is true that Roman Dmitri defeated Homer. However, there was an opinion that Homer was so careless that he was unable to use the 4-star aura and was defeated..”
“How old is Roman Dmitry this year??”
“I'm twenty-five.”
“At only 25 years old, he reached the level of 3 stars. A great talent has emerged from the outskirts..”
203 stars for.
It was unusual growth.
And historically, prosecutors who have shown such growth have always broken through the 5-star barrier and made a name for themselves on the continent..
As the Marquis Benedict, he had no choice but to covet it..
In particular, his desire for a skilled swordsman was great, as the royal knight of the royal family was firmly holding on to the best sword in Cairo..
It didn't matter what kind of person Roman Dmitry was..
If he really had the talent as rumored, there was a need to recruit him by any means necessary..
“The dynamics of other forces?”
“Everyone is moving quickly. In particular, the movements of both empires are the most active..”
“Damn Empire guys. A talented person has appeared in Cairo, but he has the audacity to contact us before we do..”
today.
The Kingdom of Cairo is divided into four factions.
There was a royal faction that followed the king, an aristocratic faction that united around the king's uncle, the Marquis Benedict, and a pro-Cronos imperial faction and a pro-Valhalla imperial faction that were born in Cairo but were attached to foreign powers..
It was the reality of a weak country..
Even though there were forces that openly supported the empire, the Kingdom of Cairo had no way to impose special sanctions..
Marquis Benedict said.
“Roman Dmitry is a swordsman who can reach the level of 5 stars in the future. To prevent it from being taken over by other forces, quickly send someone to recruit Roman Dmitri. We will provide whatever support you need during the process. Especially the royal family. At least Roman Dmitry should not be taken away from them..”
“All right.”
The strategist bowed his head..
the war has already begun.
Talent that appears in the periphery.
In order to recruit Roman, the powerful people of the Kingdom of Cairo were paying attention to Dmitry..
Around that time.
Dmitry was in a festive mood every day..
“Roman Dmitry became a ranker of the Cairo Kingdom.!”
Even if it is still an unofficial ranker.
Upon hearing the news that the first ranker in the northeast was born, people flocked from all over to congratulate Dmitry..
Baron Romero was happy to empty his pockets..
They hosted a party filled with delicacies from the mountains and the sea, welcomed guests, and enjoyed the festival to the point where laughter did not stop from morning till night..
In that mood.
There was only one person who felt uncomfortable..
“Phew.”
Viscount Laurence.
He sighed heavily without anyone knowing..
I didn't want to attend the party, but in order to maintain a friendly relationship with Dmitri, I had no choice but to visit him with a smile..
The result was the current situation.
It would have been great if they had simply blessed Roman's achievements, but if he had forgotten, other nobles would have been scratching his head..
“Hahahaha, this is the slope of the northeastern area. Haven't we finally produced a ranker??”
“……By the way, Viscount Laurence, are you okay? If she had gone ahead with Flora's marriage, wouldn't she have had an outstanding talent named Roman Dmitry as her son-in-law? Now that I'm talking about it, if I were in Viscount Laurence's position, I would have had a stomachache to the point where I couldn't come to Dmitry's party..”
Unlike the cautious voice.
It was an outright mockery of Viscount Laurence..
At the moment of focused attention, Viscount Laurence spoke with as casual a face as possible..
“Why do I have a stomach ache? Although the marriage was canceled due to unrelated reasons, I am still truly happy to see the Dmitry family recovering. Shouldn’t there be enough families in the northeast to have a say in the central government? I can only hope that Dmitry will rise further thanks to this momentum..”
“Is that so?”
“As expected, Viscount Lawrence is a great person, hahahaha.”
Everyone laughs
talked loudly.
On the outside, it was a warm atmosphere..
but.
the truth was different.
Viscount Laurence, as those around him said, had a very painful stomach..
‘Roman Dmitry could have been my son-in-law.’
just a few months.
When we broke off our engagement, our status now was completely different..
At that time, Roman Dmitry was called Dmitri's idiot and was evaluated as someone who deserved to break off the engagement, but now Roman's value has risen to the sky and has developed to the point where it is difficult to even be humbled..
Heir to the Dmitry family. Cairo Kingdom's youngest ranker.
Whenever I heard the modifiers used to describe Roman's name, I felt sick because they seemed to overlap with Lawrence's otherwise bleak reality..
Initially.
I thought it would be resolved over time..
However, Viscount Laurence could not hide his devastated feelings when he saw Roman increasing his value with unconventional actions every time..
Jump, jump, jump..
I drank the wine like water..
Even like this.
I wanted to forget my regrets about Roman..
‘Let's think we made the right choice for Flora..’
I had no intention of calling Flora in late..
Viscount Lawrence respected Flora's choice and sincerely hoped that his daughter, who left for the capital, would achieve her dream..
but.
I can't help but feel sick to my stomach..
Viscount Laurence, who suffered from stomachache throughout the party, immediately sent a magic message somewhere as soon as he returned home..
“Silviani?”
It was like that..
It was Viscount Lawrence who had not yet completely given up on his lingering affection for Roman..
kingdom of cairo.
Western Front).
As a result of the fierce battle, numerous corpses and blood were seen everywhere around the barricade built by Cairo..
“fucking empire bastards.”
“I will always chew the flesh of Kronos guys raw..”
Clearing the battlefield.
The soldiers of the Kingdom of Cairo vented their anger..
The Kingdom of Cairo borders the Kronos Empire to the west and the Kingdom of Hector to the south..
Although there was not much direct conflict with the Kingdom of Hector, the Kronos Empire had been crossing the border and attacking the Kingdom of Cairo for several years now, demanding that it become a vassal of Kronos..
Kronos Empire.
Like Valhalla, it is one of the two major mountain ranges on the continent and the country that produced Emperor Alexander..
If they had truly tried to destroy Cairo, they would have gone down the path of destruction long ago, but they did not see the end because of the interests between each country..
Kronos' troops cross the border from time to time.
On the front lines, Cairo's soldiers were dying, and inside, traitors who followed Kronos urged them to surrender to Kronos..
It was truly the shabby reality of a weak country, and in addition, Cairo never had a peaceful day due to foreign powers targeting Cairo like Valhalla..
The soldiers were busy carrying the corpses..
No matter how much time passed, I could not get used to the situation where my colleagues were dying because the country was weak..
wide plain.
They set fire to the mountain of corpses..
On this front line where a proper funeral could not be held, it was courtesy for the dead to do something like this..
“Rodwell, it's okay.?”
On the one hand.
A man spoke to a colleague who was looking at a corpse..
They had officer's marks on their chests, and the man named Rodwell fixed his gaze and spoke..
“I'm used to it now. It's not something you experience for a day or two..”
“I still had no idea that the reality on the front lines would be this bad. Even when I was sent from the academy to the training center for actual combat, I thought a pink future was waiting for me. But this is reality. Dozens of times a day, I worry about giving up my diploma and returning to my hometown..”
eat.
Rodwell laughed..
understood.
When I was promoted to S class at the Cairo Royal Academy, I and my classmates all thought the same thing..
however.
Reality was the worst.
He spent a hell of a time at a front-line training center in the name of actual combat experience, and eventually earned the qualifications of a commander and was deployed to the Western Front..
Just one year. If he gained experience conceding goals there and returned to the academy, he could earn dazzling honors, but when he had not even completed half of the goals, his mentality was gradually collapsing..
a colleague said.
“Did you hear the news? Your brother. I heard Roman Dmitry was ranked..”
Moment.
Rodwell frowned slightly..
I heard a rumor about Roman..
The title of youngest ranker was such an incredible achievement that it was known even to the front lines, and as a result, superiors constantly asked questions about Roman..
What kind of person is Roman, and what does he like?.
My interest in my older brother, whom I had never even wondered about before, exploded..
‘roman.’
brother in memory.
Did he really reach the level of 3 stars??
no.
It couldn't have been that way..
No matter how much opportunity he gained, the Roman Dmitry he remembers was an irredeemable piece of trash..
“It's a rumor. I don't know what kind of tricks he pulled out in his family, but Roman is a guy who can't even protect himself, let alone rise to the ranks. He's still an unofficial ranker? Surely the truth will come out soon.”
I turned around and left..
My brother didn't matter.
now.
In order to rise higher, it was time to be faithful to the reality given to us..
protagonist of rumors.
Unlike the noisy atmosphere around him, Roman devoted himself to training with a calm expression on his face..
“Phew.”
I caught my breath..
Due to the training that started in the morning, my entire body was drenched in sweat, and my heightened senses made me focus on everything around me..
Training using yeomhwasingong after transformation.
There was still a lot of time needed to reach the level of my previous life, but what was certain was that I was growing steadily..
“What's going on?”
With a sensitive sense.
I heard someone pretending to be popular.
Hans spoke with an expression that did not seem particularly surprised by the ghost-like reaction, as it was something he was used to..
“A guest came from outside.”
“customer?”
“yes. Shall I guide you??”
There were no scheduled guests..
Roman postponed the meeting for now, took a shower, and then walked to the reception room..
“Nice to meet you. It's called a ventner..”
“This is Roman Dmitry..”
A man smiling brightly and shaking hands.
It was my first time seeing this face..
When Roman sent everyone out of the reception room with a wink, Ventner revealed his true identity..
“Let me tell you straight. I am a servant of His Majesty the King of Cairo. The reason I came to Dmitry is to appoint you, Roman Dmitry, as a Royal Knight of the Cairo Royal Family..”
Four factions in Cairo.
Bendtner was one of the royalists..
Sleeping dragon of the frontier.
To secure Roman Dmitry, people began to move in earnest..
