The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life - Chapter 115
Chapter 115 Golden Return (2)
A few days ago.
Upon hearing the report that the Cairo main force was attacking the rear camp, the people gathered in the conference room showed serious expressions.
“If only. What will happen to us if we fail to capture the rear camp?”
These were the words of an aristocrat belonging to the royal faction.
nobles of the central government.
they did not attend
Daniel Cairo said with a somewhat despairing expression.
“… The responsibility for the defeat lies with the royal family. Even if the chain of command in this country was torn to pieces by the aristocrats, the people would try to hold the king accountable for the war. From then on, you can no longer raise your voice as a king. The hyena-like nobles of the central government will stop at nothing to bring me down.”
“Damn them guys!”
“Still, I was born with the same Cairo bloodline, but I think it’s really too much.”
It was stifling.
powers of the central government.
The Marquess Benedict and Gregory the Earl of Denver were not committed to helping the southern front.
Winning or losing this war is not a simple matter.
If you fail to capture the rear positions. The Kingdom of Hector may refuse to negotiate with Cairo and hand over the south to the Cronus Empire.
then.
Truly, the royal stature will fall to the ground.
The fact that the border with Cronus met in the south and west meant the fear of being attacked at any time.
Daniel Cairo said.
“The nobles of the central government must think that any choice is beneficial to them. If Cairo’s main force wins, it’s good to overcome the crisis, and even if it loses, it will be used as a sure means to pressure the royal family. What matters to them is not the safety of Cairo. If they really wanted the kingdom of Cairo to revive, they would not have watched the southern front fall to the Cronus Empire with their eyes open. He must have prioritized negotiating with Hector Kingdom, even at the expense of his own money.”
why.
How did the country come to be like this?
From the moment he inherited the throne he did not want to inherit, Daniel Cairo could not sleep peacefully for a moment.
“The enemy that threatens Cairo is within. They selfishly seek their own gain, but we cannot be selfish like them. We need to prepare for the future when we lose here. Even if you are stoned by the people of Cairo. In order for us to not lose that meaning as the Cairo royal family, we must hold onto the meaning of our existence to the end.”
“… All right.”
“I take orders.”
The nobles bowed their heads.
Even if you are a weak and weak king.
Some nobles followed him because Daniel Cairo really cared about the kingdom.
If the.
Had he been born in good times, he would have been a sage.
However, the reality was not so, and the weak king in a small country became a good prey for hyenas.
the meeting continued.
possibility of an emergency.
The people of the Royal Faction, who were preparing for it, jumped out of their seats at the news from the southern front.
“Is that really true!”
“Live!”
victory news.
And that in just a few hours.
Daniel Cairo’s face turned bright at the shocking achievement he could not have expected.
* * *
It was truly a grand feast.
return of gold.
All the nobility of the capital welcomed Roman with a high sense of pride as he returned as a hero.
“You really worked hard!”
“Thanks to you, Cairo survived a great crisis.”
They too heard the rumors.
To be precise, through their own sources of information, they learned how great Roman had been.
among them.
Count Fabius reported:
“In fact, I still doubt that what I experienced was real. from start to finish. The strategy that destroyed Hector’s kingdom all came from Roman Dmitri. Roman Dmitri perfectly grasped the opponent’s intentions and trapped Hector’s kingdom and won against the 5-star Butler. Marquis Benedict. I’ve never seen such talent in my life. Even the being called the best sword on the continent couldn’t show that kind of progress at the age of 20. Roman Dmitry is a person who will definitely succeed as a swordsman and as a commander.”
It was a compliment.
Even though he was already the talent everyone wanted.
Roman Dmitry surpassed his assessment once more.
His talent as a commander and the result of defeating Butler were shocking enough to make his progress so pitiful.
A party to celebrate Roman’s return.
Nobles flocked.
Trying to mix things up with Roman.
Even the aristocrats of the central government gave up their egos and tried to ingratiate themselves with the Romans.
“Roman Dmitry. I finally see you in person.”
“Meet His Majesty the King.”
It was Daniel Cairo.
Nobles opened the way.
Even though he was a scarecrow king, he was not stupid enough to be rude to the king in a place where many eyes were focused.
“I wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart on behalf of the Kingdom of Cairo. Against the kingdom of Hector, you showed Cairo’s will. He defeated Hector with bold determination and restored peace to Cairo from the crisis of despair. Is there anything you want from me? Whatever you want, I will do as much as I can.”
Nongonghaengsang (論功行賞).
It was time to pay off.
It was the king’s authority, and Daniel Cairo’s words drew attention.
It was then.
Daniel Cairo added his words before Roman could answer.
“Just in time, the post of lieutenant general of the Royal Knights became vacant. if only you are okay I will grant you the title of lieutenant commander and the right to access the royal family’s treasury. You can take riches there, or you can acquire valuable knowledge that Cairo has kept for generations. how about my suggestion.”
at that point.
The atmosphere in the banquet hall turned chilly.
Daniel Cairo’s suggestion.
With the intention of taking Roman first, the nobles of the central government could no longer laugh and watch the situation.
* * *
Lieutenant Commander of the Royal Knights.
It was a great privilege.
Never before in Cairo’s history had he risen to such a position at the age of only 20.
Daniel Cairo said.
“The best sword in Cairo and the head of the Royal Knights. Count Nicholas is looking for an heir to succeed him. It will be a good opportunity for you. Even now, you have a talent that shines brighter than anyone else, but if you have a leading presence in front of you, you will be able to look at a higher place. You don’t have to worry about your national defense obligations. Apart from other compensation, I intend to specifically exempt you from the remaining obligations.”
Daniel Cairo.
He was greedy for the first time.
‘I want to make Roman Dmitri my own person.’
at a young age.
He was forced to wear the crown upon the death of his father.
The nobles of the central government welcomed the existence of Daniel Cairo, who could be used as a scarecrow, and even after all these years, Daniel Cairo had to show respect to the heads of the central government.
It was the reason for treating them with respect in the conference room.
The moment he showed an attitude of treating him like a subordinate, the heads of the central government, including Marquis Benedict, openly showed signs of discomfort and pressed the king.
so that.
always out of breath
The people of Cairo think he is the most powerful person, but in reality he was just a scarecrow with nothing.
‘Roman Dmitri defeated Butler, a 5-star swordsman. If someone as strong as Count Nicholas is accepted as my own, even the aristocratic faction will not be able to pressure me hastily. From then on, the situation can be reversed. People call me a weak king, but I won’t live like this forever.’
in the light of this war.
thought differently.
Seeing the nobles taking care of their own interests, even dropping the kingdom into hell, he thought that this should not be the case.
I peeled off my weak side.
For the first time, he exposed his teeth in front of nobles.
OK.
Marquis Benedict said in an angry voice.
“There is no case in the world where the reward is another duty. Your Majesty the King. The Royal Knights, as a military organization under the direct control of the royal family, are only choices that force sacrifices on young talent whose future is guaranteed. Please take your name. We need to reward our hero for that.”
“you’re right. I agree to open the royal treasury, but this is not the case.”
met with resistance
nobles of the central government.
they stepped forward
Everyone added a word and pointed out that Daniel Cairo’s suggestion was very wrong.
‘Since when did you say joining the Royal Knights was a sacrifice?’
Royal Night.
It is the most honorable seat for knights.
At one time, the children of noble families tried their whole lives to join the Royal Knights, but since the collapse of the royal authority, they have reacted as if they were evil.
Perhaps, as the nobles say, Roman may not be happy with his proposal.
However, I had no intention of stepping down voluntarily.
“Marquis Benedict. I made a decision. From now on, it’s up to Roman Dmitry to decide.”
Crossed the line.
Unlike usual, he chose a lower rank rather than a high rank.
Marquis Benedict’s expression distorted for a moment, but Daniel Cairo didn’t care and looked at Roman Dmitri.
Everyone’s eyes were focused.
If only Roman would follow Daniel Cairo.
At that time, the kingdom of Cairo will fall into chaos and panic.
* * *
King’s Proposal.
It was unexpected.
Daniel Cairo, whom only Roman remembers, was a weak king, but he looked at him with unwavering eyes.
‘Still, it’s the blood of the royal family.’
public evaluation.
Maybe Daniel Cairo wasn’t the soft-spoken king as rumored.
I had no choice but to bow my head under the pressure that had been going on since I was young, and it was reflected as if I was weak.
Let’s finally get a chance to turn around.
Daniel Cairo took a gamble.
This will put more pressure on him in the future, but Roman Dmitri was worth the sacrifice.
but.
‘There is no reason for me to take over the Cairo royal family.’
this war.
Dealing with Hector Kingdom, Roman knew that he hadn’t fully grasped the new world yet.
Edwin Hector, who uses magic, and Butler, a 5-star swordsman.
The people of Cairo Kingdom say that defeating them is really great, but in fact, by the standards of the continent, it wasn’t as great as they expressed it.
Edwin Hector?
He’s only a 4th circle mage.
It was said that the class called the Archmage uses magic like natural disasters in as many as 7 circles.
and Butler.
In Hector Kingdom, his ranking is 2nd.
However, in continental rankings, Butler’s name can only be found at the end.
‘Right now, that’s just me. Frog in the well. An existence that cannot raise its head proudly outside of Cairo.’
Daniel Cairo.
Marquis Benedict.
Count Gregory.
Count of Denver.
The same goes for them.
Since it is the Cairo Kingdom, they pretend to be powerful, but when they go to the continent, they are nothing.
so that.
None of the offers could be accepted.
Now, while maintaining the balance of power, he needed time to meet the minimum conditions.
Roman said.
“This war made me realize that the world is wide. Royal Night. As a prosecutor, this is a truly honorable position. However, there are things I definitely want to do before deciding on my future.”
“What is it?”
explicit refusal.
Daniel Cairo could not hide his mixed feelings.
On the other hand, the nobles of the central government watched the situation with smiles.
“In fact, if I hadn’t been exempted from my military duty, my plan was to do it two years later. After taking a few days off in the capital, I plan to return to my family. And I’m going to spend time completely making the realizations I gained on the battlefield into my own. I’m not sure how long that will take, but when it’s perfectly ready.”
I raised my head.
He revealed his future steps to those watching him.
“I will challenge the public ranking match.”
Open Ranking Match.
to that word.
There was a ripple in people’s eyes.
