The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life - Chapter 189
Chapter 182 For a Certain End (8)
Took.
“Walk quickly.”
A hard object pushed my back.
Marquis Benedict, with disheveled hair and a miserable appearance, trudged along, missing one of his shoes.
Running through the bush, the soles of his feet were torn.
The pain rose from my feet, but as soon as I arrived at Benedict Castle, I couldn’t bear to raise my head as the eyes focused on me from all directions.
“It’s Marquis Benedict!”
“pup!”
“Even though he ran away alone, he looks good!”
Nobility’s soldiers.
Those who tried to defend Benedict’s castle until the end fell into captivity as the castle was captured.
Actually, it wasn’t a fight that ended like this.
They fought until the end even after Roman Dmitri came upon them, and at some point they realized that things were going strangely.
No one gave orders.
Obviously, Cameron, who had been shouting on the castle wall, disappeared, and the aristocratic faction, including Marquis Benedict, did not appear from the beginning.
The moment trust collapsed, the war had no choice but to end.
They threw away their weapons one by one, revealing their intention to surrender, and such feelings spread like an epidemic.
this war.
A civil war taking place in the same country.
It was a war that took place according to the cause of the leaders leading the soldiers, but since the leaders had fled, there was no reason to fight.
The taut balance collapsed.
The kingdom army arrested all the soldiers who had lost their hostility and looked inside the castle until the day fell, blocking any unexpected variables.
finished.
It was a victory for the kingdom army.
And the captives spit on the way they passed by the appearance of Marquis Benedict, who was dragged into a miserable form.
“Kaak Tut!”
“Go to hell!”
got hit in the face
Marquis Benedict’s insides boiled at the thick saliva dripping down to the floor.
The smell of excrement on the body did not make the saliva so disgusting.
However, he could not accept this situation in which the atrocities of the soldiers against him, the most powerful person in Cairo, were conveyed through his five senses.
puck.
“Keugh.”
got down on his knees
center of the square.
It was a place where everyone’s eyes were focused.
Raising his head, Marquis Benedict saw Roman Dmitri approaching him.
‘… This is how you die.’
That moment.
The mind of the Marquis Benedict was lost in memories of the past that had been forgotten for a while.
* * *
Decades ago.
A grand party was held in Cairo.
With the marriage between the Cairo royal family and Cairo’s most prestigious Benedict, envoys from other countries congratulated them on their marriage.
The Marquis Benedict was also there.
Having inherited her father’s place at a young age, she couldn’t hide her delight at the marriage of her younger sister, whom she considered like a daughter.
from that day
I had a really happy day.
Daniel Cairo’s father.
Even until the former king revealed his incompetence.
“The atrocities of the Kronos Empire are getting worse day by day. They invade national borders at every opportunity, and even within the country, they are interfering in state affairs through the powers of the empire. Your Majesty the King. Cairo is powerless. I know very well that I have no choice but to watch the atrocities of the empire, but that doesn’t mean I can’t just suffer like this. Set the power right. We must prove Cairo’s will by cutting off the heads of the gangsters.”
Western Front.
Many people died there.
Marquis Benedict visited the royal palace with boiling blood and spoke of the future with a blood clot around his neck.
Benedict at that time may have been patriotic.
Thinking that the Benedict family and the Cairo royal family were the same, they could not help but watch the atrocities of the Kronos Empire that looked down on the kingdom.
however.
The king did nothing.
The reason was simple.
That you can’t put people in danger.
It was the king’s judgment that he could not bear the retaliation if he had killed the empire’s knapsacks.
Loving the people is a king’s virtue, but it wasn’t like the Marquis Benedict’s view.
One-time bystander. Looking long into the future, it was clear that it would cost the lives of countless people.
However, he was a king who pursued peace rather than national power, and his seemingly good ideals gave meaningless peace.
It was from then.
Cairo’s power collapsed.
While the king was indecisive and unable to make judgments, the imperial faction following Cronos and Valhalla terribly increased their power.
To oppose him, Marquis Benedict gathered forces.
Even if the Cairo royal family acted foolishly, they had no intention of dedicating Cairo entirely to the Empire.
around that time.
Incident happened.
The queen, who was originally weak, fell ill and died despite the king’s utmost sincerity.
It was the same chronic disease as Marquis Benedict’s father.
At the moment when the ties that barely connected him with the Cairo royal family collapsed, Marquis Benedict questioned whether it was right for the Cairo kingdom to continue as it was while watching the funeral with a cold expression at his sister’s funeral.
A place to honor the queen.
The Imperials chuckled.
Their expression, which could not be found in sadness, set fire to Marquis Benedict’s heart.
“I can no longer trust the Cairo royal family. We will form an independent force to truly lead Cairo to the right path that will represent Cairo. Tell the nobles who follow me. If you intend to follow me, ‘Benedict,’ rather than the Cairo royal family, come and pledge your allegiance to me on the specified date.”
noble faction.
they have been transformed
King Cairo, who spoke only ideal words, could not be trusted, and Daniel Cairo, the only heir, was too young and looked just like the king.
The kingdom had no future.
Later in the history of Cairo, he firmly believed that he was right at the moment of making a decision, even if he evaluated himself as a being crazy for power.
and.
The previous king died.
As a result that everyone hoped for, Marquis Benedict ascended the invisible throne.

Execution.
faced death
I wanted to face my end as calmly as possible, but the memories that cluttered my head made me cry.
It was unfair.
What did you say you did wrong?
Even though he could have given the kingdom as it was from the beginning like Gregory and Denver, Marquis Benedict did his best to maintain the Cairo kingdom.
Although he did not follow the Cairo royal family, he also did things for the kingdom in his own way.
widely.
Right in front.
Roman stopped walking.
At the sight of him coldly looking down with his sword, Marquis Benedict raised his face and shouted desperately.
“I was not wrong. How devoted I have been to this country, are you trying to kill me! The former king of Cairo had a clear opportunity to deal with the imperial factions before they grew in power, but he postponed the choice because he was afraid of the people dying. what a good king If this world were a heaven where blood and death were not allowed, he would be the kind of king the people would love. But the reality is not like that. While the weak king ruined the country, I held the center to keep Cairo from collapsing!”
A band of blood was erected around the neck.
It was desperate.
No matter how people saw him, he vomited out the emotions accumulated inside him.
“The previous king died. Daniel Cairo ascended the throne, spouting absurd remarks about creating a country where the people are happy. Roman Dmitry. Could you sincerely serve such a king? If you are cold-hearted and always make pragmatic judgments, you will understand my feelings well. The Kronos Empire has crossed the border several times, traitors are infested inside, and recently even the Hector Kingdom looked down on us and declared war. that’s cairo Then, wouldn’t it be right for the one who ascended the throne to have the strength to protect the kingdom in this chaotic situation? Try to answer. Look me in the eyes and tell me I’m wrong!”
succumbed to evil
The veins in his eyes burst and blood flowed like bloody tears.
Roman looked at him calmly.
Looking at the figure of Marquis Benedict, who insisted that he was right, he remembered the Daniel Cairo he remembered.
“I will not criticize your choice. Cairo may have had an opportunity to set the kingship right as you said.”
but.
“I cannot say that the choice of the former king was also wrong. If you led the ‘noble faction’ and really made Cairo into a strong kingdom, you would criticize the former king for not drawing his sword at a better time for being really stupid. But look at the results. What have you done? Even after you formed the aristocratic faction, the system of power remained the same, and when Hector Kingdom crossed the border, you did not think about the safety of the country at all. It was power-mad scum, and the cause you speak of has lost its meaning. And when you’re really on the verge of breaking down. You chose to join hands with Kronos.”
chuck.
He pointed his sword.
Marquis Benedict did not avert his gaze.
Even at the moment of facing death, he expressed his will to the end as if he was unfair.
“It is not shameful for the powerless to bow their heads. If he couldn’t take responsibility for that decision, if it was the king who carried the lives of countless people. You can’t blame him for choosing to remain silent. I can tell just by looking at you now. When you were put in the position of the decision maker, you became more trash than the one you were denouncing. Even though the Cairo royal family was criticized for being incompetent and completely denied the existence of the royal family, they never made the choice to sell the country.”
Moment.
The eyes of Marquis Benedict wavered.
I felt it was wrong.
I knew what Roman’s words meant.
Crawled on your knees.
I grabbed Roman’s crotch.
“… please please please live I just said it because I wanted people to know my hard work. From now on, I will do my best for the Cairo royal family or Dmitri. So please, save your life.”
begged
it was lame
As if excrement had been applied to the body, Marquis Benedict was not resolute in the face of death.
Roman said.
“no. From the moment I drew my sword in Kairos, I was prepared for the consequences of my decision. If I lost the war After Dmitri was burned, the family members would have been made fun of. We started an irreversible fight from the beginning. A fight that ends only when one side dies. It doesn’t matter whose choice is right. The loser takes all the blame for the war. Against you, Benedict, I will show people what the wrong words are.”
“Please, just once… !”
“Cairo will remember this day.”
Flash.
threw down the sword
people screamed
Some stared straight ahead with their eyes wide open, some averted their gaze, and some were stunned.
price of rebellion.
Roman’s sword cut Marquis Benedict’s head.
Took.
Degururu.
head rolling on the floor
The body, which had lost its head, collapsed powerlessly.
Cairo giant.
It was the end of Marquis Benedict, who was once called a living power.
* * *
Royal Cairo.
Time passed slowly.
Daniel Cairo could not accept the fact that the fate of the country depended on Roman Dmitri.
‘One day out of three is passing. If it takes a long time to subdue the aristocrats even a little, there is a possibility that the Kronos Empire will break through the Western Front and invade Cairo’s territory. Did I really make the right choice? If compromises were made on the proper line, at least the people of Cairo would have been able to avoid danger even with temporary peace.’
constantly pondered.
When this happens.
I really envied people like Roman Dmitri.
A criminal like himself could not shake the thought of whether it was the right decision even after constantly thinking about a decision.
I opened my eyes straight.
Sitting on the throne with his back straight, he made up his mind to not doubt his choice as much as possible.
own father.
A good person.
But I didn’t want to fall into such a nice person.
It was then.
“Your Majesty the King! It’s a win! It is said that Roman Dmitri captured Benedict’s Castle!”
“what?!”
Jump up.
I got up and left my seat.
only one day
To destroy Castle Benedict in one day.
I got goosebumps at the move of Roman Dmitry, who made his words come true while thrilling from the tip of his toes with great joy.
sure Roman Dmitri was a monster Cairo couldn’t handle.
In the future, he felt that in order to move forward with such a monster, he would have to give up his normal relationship with a warlord.
still.
It was fine.
I will accept the life of a scarecrow and steer Cairo in the right direction as much as I can.
joy for a while.
“Congratulations for your major achievements will be made clear later. Order them to go to the Western Front at once. The movement of the Kronos Empire is unusual. If we respond even a little late, we may face irreversible consequences.”
I suppressed the joy of victory.
Although the civil war was settled.
The reality of Cairo still could not guarantee peace.
