10 years ago.
Daniel Cairo was just a puppet.
An existence that cannot do anything while being swayed here and there by external forces that corrode Cairo, which does not exist under its own control. It was a typical reality of ruin.
Thinking that if he were the future of this country, Cairo itself might fall, let alone avenge his brother, Balon chose to practice closing.
But after a long time meeting him, he was very different.
As he pushed back his servants with a strong face, they bowed their heads and obeyed the king’s command.
It was a small point.
Ten years ago, even the minions looked down on Daniel Cairo, but their expressions and behavior showed respect for the king.
Daniel Cairo’s attitude of accepting it naturally.
In the strength felt by veterans who have gone through prenatal battles, Balon knew that a lot had changed.
Sat on the floor.
Daniel Cairo asked, gesturing that it was okay for the minions.
“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 couldn’t help but feel sorry for him.
So the two had a conversation. Although they weren’t close 10 years ago, they listened to each other’s changed reality.
Balon said frantically.
How desperately he has lived so far and how he does not know how to live now that he has lost the goal of revenge.
I felt comfortable.
Balon, who had vomited everything, looked at Daniel Cairo with a questioning look.
“I heard the story of Cairo. He joined forces with Dmitri to defeat Kronos. It may be a presumptuous thing to ask now, but wasn’t the choice difficult when you accepted Dmitri into the kingdom? It may be an obvious choice for those who speak consequently, but it is definitely not an easy choice.”
Daniel Cairo laughed.
The world has faced a change.
In a world centered on Roman Dmitri, it is natural to prioritize Dmitri now, but like Balon’s question, Daniel Cairo made a difficult decision.
In fact, I’ve been thinking about this several times.
To always make the best decision for Cairo, not to forget his past.
Daniel Cairo said.
“It was not that difficult for me. Knowing how inadequate I am, 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 ability and character, and I bet my place and the future of Cairo on him.”
“… Are you still satisfied with that choice?”
“no. I admit to myself that it was for the best, but it would have been even better if Cairo could have solved the country’s problems on its own. Balon. The world has changed a lot in your absence. I feel grateful to His Majesty Roman Dmitry for the events of the past, so while I am alive, Cairo will do my best as a subject country. But that doesn’t mean that Cairo’s problems are left to Dmitri alone.”
Rents at national cemeteries were high.
Watching the sun go down in the distance, Daniel Cairo revealed his true feelings.
“Human life is a series of hardships. Just as Cronus, who seemed to never collapse, fell to his knees, the time will come when Cairo will have to deal with its own problems. Then I hope Cairo can hold out on its own. I hope to overcome the external danger without anyone’s help.”
I looked at Balon.
His lost eyes were shaking violently in the flow of emotion.
“That is the future of Cairo I think, and I am fulfilling my duty as the king.”
that day.
Balon saw a new future.
Daniel Cairo, who has matured, was a person worth dedicating his life to after his revenge was over.
It was an unknown story to the world.
The fruit of his 10-year effort for revenge was when he swore allegiance to Daniel Cairo on the grass as the sun went down.

Around that time.
Trouble has arisen in Arcadia.
As the Dark Elves migrated to Arcadia, a conflict arose with the normal Elves who settled first.
The leader of the common elves.
Teresa said.
“Everything else is fine. However, it is unacceptable to cross into our territory and commit killing. Hasn’t this happened once or twice? When we heard that the Dark Elves were moving to Arcadia, we were welcome, but we couldn’t stand it any longer if they continued to cross the line.”
It was a firm voice.
With the representatives of each race and Luna’s lord Rodwell Dmitri watching, Tersha strengthened her voice.
but.
The Dark Elves did not readily accept the problem.
Darkan, the representative of the Dark Elves, distorted his expression and openly revealed his discomfort.
“The elves’ demands are very unreasonable. They can live on nothing but grass and fruit, but Dark Elves do not. We must eat meat. And in Arcadia, which is only now regaining its original form, there are few suitable lands for hunting, including the territory of the elves. Raising livestock can solve the problem, of course, but if all problems are resolved peacefully, the fighting instincts built into the Dark Elves’ bones may disappear. That is why we must periodically go hunting.”
“It is a contradictory statement. After you mentioned the food issue, didn’t you just want to hunt?”
“That is the nature of Dark Elves. Would you accept it if I told you that I would not allow you to commune with nature?”
A quarrel broke out.
Dark Elves and Normal Elves.
There was not an inch of retreat.
However, unlike them, who blushed and fought, each representative did not seem to care too much.
relationship between the two.
It was an enmity from the beginning.
They came from the same root, but since everything is different, they had no choice but to encounter each other in the process of living in Arcadia.
At that time, a tribal meeting was convened.
Rodwell Dmitri, as lord of Luna, was given the role of managing the place, and he served as the judge in the presence of representatives of all races.
at last.
It was Rodwell Dimitri’s share.
“Flora. What do you think?”
His gaze turned to one side.
She, who was in charge of Arcadia’s administrative duties during that time, spoke in a calm voice.
“Coexistence in Arcadia cannot accommodate all demands. However, a reasonable level of compromise is possible. Why don’t you hold a hunting tournament in the area periodically so that the Dark Elves can solve their meat and hunting problems? If you don’t accept a solution to a certain extent, it can only be accepted as an intention to invade the elves’ territory. Of course, if you don’t accept capturing game in the elves’ territory, this will be the responsibility of both parties.”
It wasn’t a perfect solution.
The free hunting that the Dark Elves want, the slaughter that takes place in the Elf’s territory, wasn’t the perfect method the two races wanted, but they couldn’t refuse.
In a situation where they have to coexist no matter what, it suggests a way to solve the superficial reason.
furthermore.
“Time will solve the problems that have arisen now. When the Dark Elves’ realm is fully settled, then there will be no such turmoil.”
It was emphasized that this was a temporary measure.
If the land that was frozen by the cold regains its integrity, the Dark Elves will be able to satisfy all their desires without going beyond the elves’ territory.
Having said that, I had nothing to add. As the representatives of the two races spoke sparingly, Rodwell Dmitri gave the verdict with a laugh.
“Then, I will settle this matter according to Flora Lawrence’s opinion.”
bang bang!
Everyone nodded.
Arcadia.
At least in this land, Rodwell Dmitri was a man everyone trusted.
* * *
That evening.
Rodwell Dmitry was at the training ground.
His whole body was drenched in sweat from the countless repetitions.
“Rodwell. Are you really planning on going to a tournament?”
on the other side of the training ground.
Flora Lawrence was there.
Rodwell Dmitry stopped moving and looked at her when she heard a sound on the way and came to visit 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, it must be worth putting down my position and challenging.”
“… That’s great.”
Flora Lawrence laughed lightly.
3 years ago.
The two who chose to go to Arcadia became friends because of their similar age and shared experiences on the Western Front.
Of course, externally, it was only the lord and staff.
However, when the two of them were together, they spoke comfortably, and as time passed, they became close enough to share their concerns with each other.
Rodwell Dmitri moved on.
Putting the sword down on one side, he wiped his sweat with the towel he had prepared in advance and spoke in a non-trivial voice.
“I will make a formal request to the Lawrence family after this tournament is over.”
“What?”
“You and my marriage.”
Startle.
For a moment, Flora Lawrence reacted in surprise.
When she couldn’t say anything with her shaking eyes, Rodwell Dmitri looked at her with unwavering eyes.
“In the meantime, my older brother had no intention of getting married, so I tried to suppress my will, but since Lauren had an accident, I can’t wait any longer. so you know When Lauren’s wedding is over and the contest is over, I’ll go see my father and tell him the truth.”
Rodwell Dmitry’s sincerity.
i knew it a long time ago
From the point of rejection three years ago, Rodwell Dmitri has proven his mind with unwavering attitude.
It’s not just an arranged marriage, it’s the truth.
If she didn’t like that feeling, she would have refused, but now, three years later, Flora Lawrence smiled broadly without realizing it.
“Okay, let’s do that.”

At this time, Dmitry was in a festive mood.
Lauren Dmitry.
Dmitri’s three sons revealed the news of their marriage.
In fact, everyone was waiting for good news as Roman Dmitry kept postponing his wedding.
But Lauren Dmitri, not the second, had an accident first.
One day, he brought the person he liked into the family and announced to his parents that he sincerely wanted to marry.
It was something to laugh at now, but at the time, the family was turned upside down by the sudden declaration.
where is dmitri
It is the royal family.
Since marriage to Lauren Dmitri meant joining the emperor’s family, Romero Dmitri summoned the family members and seriously considered it.
The conclusion was to allow it.
Having once had a bad experience with an arranged marriage, he liked anyone his son really liked.
step.
On the premise that there are no defects in toughness.
Fortunately, the woman Lauren Dmitri brought was such a nice person, and from then on, everything went smoothly.
So the day of the wedding came.
From early in the morning, many people gathered to celebrate Lauren Dmitri’s marriage, and since it was such a special day, Jonathan Knight Commander, the leader of the Imperial Knights, served as the gatekeeper.
“welcome.”
“Welcome to Dmitry.”
“I will guide you.”
key figures from each country.
People of great status arrived one after another.
After the demonic conquest.
The world truly became Dmitri’s world, and people sincerely acknowledged Dmitri, unlike when Cronus and Valhalla were two major mountain ranges.
Dmitry was a country worth it.
It showed the dignity of the empire as if it led the conquest of the demon realm rather than simply leaving all the burdens to other countries.
for that reason.
This event was a must attend.
It was also an event for the Dmitry family, and it was very easy to make friends with the magnates at such an event.
field of opportunity.
People were constantly pouring in.
It was then.
Knight Commander Jonathan’s expression brightened when he saw the two people entering together.
“Marquis Fabius!”
“Oh, long time no see.”
Dmitry’s real life.
It was Fabius.
He held his hand with a bright face, and right next to him was an equally important person.
It didn’t have a 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 promised to marry Lauren Demitri.
Yes.
“Nice to meet you, Knight Commander Jonathan.”
Henry Albert held out his hand to Knight Commander Jonathan with a smile on his face.
