The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life - Chapter 72

Chapter 72 Gathering interest (1)

The capital of Cairo.

Where is the most luxurious place in Kairos?

People from other countries would of course say the palace, but the people who actually experienced it were different.

“The mansion of the Marquis Benedict is the number one attraction in Kairos.”

Benedict.

Called a powerful figure in the central government and a living power, he built a mansion symbolizing his power in a location not far from the royal palace.

A place you must meet on the way to the palace.

He was the core of power to the extent that there was a saying that you had to stand out in the eyes of Marquis Benedict in order to enter the palace.

to him like that.

A piece of news came from the periphery.

“Is that true?”

Took.

I put down the pen I was signing on.

The middle-aged man, with his gray hair neatly pulled back, looked at the family’s tactician as if to tell him to hurry up.

“Yes, based on my research, 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 as a result of gathering testimonies from people who were at the battle site of the great warrior, it is true that Roman Dmitri defeated Homer. However, there were also opinions that Homer was careless and was defeated without being able to exert his four-star aura.”

“How old is Roman Dmitry this year?”

“Twenty-five.”

“At the age of only twenty-five, he reached a three-star level. A great talent has emerged from the periphery.”

3 stars in your 20s.

It was an extraordinary growth.

And the swordsmen who showed such growth historically broke through the 5-star wall and made their reputation on the continent.

As Marquis Benedict, of course, he had no choice but to covet.

In particular, his desire for a skilled swordsman was great as the Royal Knight of the royal family was firmly holding out as the best sword in Cairo.

It didn’t matter who Roman Dmitry was.

If he really had the rumored talent, it was necessary to recruit him by any means.

“What about the dynamics of the other forces?”

“Everyone is moving fast. In particular, the movement of both empires is the most active.”

“Damn the Empire bastards. A talented person appeared in Cairo, and he shamelessly tried to contact us before we did.”

today.

Cairo Kingdom is divided into four factions.

There were the royal faction that followed the king, the aristocratic faction centered on the king’s uncle, the Marquis Benedict, and the pro-Cronos imperial faction and the pro-Valhalla imperial faction, who were born in Cairo but attached to foreign powers.

It was the reality of a small country.

Even though there were forces that openly supported the empire, there was no way to specifically sanction the Kingdom of Cairo.

Marquis Benedict said.

“Roman Dmitri is a swordsman who can reach the level of 5 stars in the future. Send someone quickly to recruit Roman Dmitri so he won’t be taken over by other factions. We will support you with anything you need along the way. especially the royal family. Roman Dmitri should not be taken away from them.”

“All right.”

The librarian lowered his head.

The war has already begun.

A talent who appeared on the periphery.

In order to recruit Roman, the real people of the Cairo Kingdom were paying attention to Dmitri.

around that time.

Dmitry was in a festive mood every day.

“Roman Dmitri has become a ranker in Cairo Kingdom!”

Even if it’s still an unofficial ranker.

People from all over the world flocked to congratulate Dmitri on the news that the first ranker in the northeast area had been born.

Baron Romero gladly untied his pockets.

They held a party full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, accepted the guests, and enjoyed the festival to the extent that laughter did not stop from morning to night.

in that mood.

There was only one person who was uncomfortable with planting.

“Whoa.”

Viscount Lawrence.

He let out a big sigh without anyone noticing.

I didn’t want to attend the party at all, but I had to visit Dmitri with a smile on my face for the sake of friendly relations with him.

The result was the current situation.

It would be really nice if it ended simply by blessing Roman’s achievements, but other nobles scratched his insides if he could forget.

“Hahahaha, this is the slope of the northeast area. Didn’t we finally produce rankers too?”

“… By the way, is Viscount Lawrence all right? If Flora’s marriage had proceeded as it was, wouldn’t it have been possible to have an outstanding talent named Roman Dmitry as his son-in-law? Speaking of which, if I were in Viscount Lawrence’s position, I would have been so sick to my stomach that I couldn’t come to Dmitri’s party.”

Unlike the cautious voice.

It was an openly mocking remark at Viscount Lawrence.

Viscount Lawrence said with a face as casual as possible at the moment’s focused gaze.

“Why do I have a stomach ache? Although the marriage fell apart because it was not meant to be, I am truly happy to see the revival of the Dmitry family. Shouldn’t there be enough families in the northeast to have a say in the central government? I just hope that Dmitri will be able to take advantage of this momentum.”

“Is that so?”

“As expected, Viscount Lawrence is a great person hahahaha.”

Everyone laughed and

chatted.

On the outside, it was a warm atmosphere.

but.

The truth was different.

Viscount Lawrence, like those around him, had a terrible stomach ache.

‘Roman Dmitri could have been my son-in-law.’

just a few months.

The phases between when they broke up and now are polar opposites.

At that time, Roman Dmitri was called Dmitri’s jerk and was evaluated as a guy who deserved to be broken up, but now Roman’s value has risen to the point of heaven and has developed to the point that he cannot dare to be sick.

Heir to the Dmitry family. Cairo Kingdom’s youngest ranker.

When I heard the adjectives decorating Roman’s name, I felt sick to my stomach as they seemed to overlap with the otherwise bleak reality of Lawrence.

Initially.

I thought it would be resolved with time.

However, Viscount Lawrence could not hide his miserable feelings at the sight of Roman, who increased his value with unconventional moves every time.

Beep beep.

I drank the wine like water.

Even like this.

I wanted to forget about Roman.

‘Let’s think I made the right choice for Flora.’

I had no intention of calling in Flora belatedly.

Viscount Lawrence respected Flora’s choice and sincerely hoped that her daughter, who left for the capital, would realize her dream.

but.

I can’t help but feel sick to my stomach.

Viscount Lawrence, who suffered from stomachaches throughout the party, made a magical communication somewhere as soon as he returned home.

“Are you Silvia?”

It was.

It was Viscount Lawrence who had not completely given up on his attachment to Roman yet.

Cairo kingdom.

Western Front.

Due to the bout of fighting, numerous corpses and blood were seen everywhere around the roadblocks that Cairo had built.

“Dog-like Imperial bastards.”

“I always eat the flesh of Cronus guys raw.”

clearing the battlefield.

The Cairo Kingdom’s soldiers vented their anger.

The Kingdom of Cairo is bordered by the Cronus Empire to the west and the Hector Kingdom to the south.

Although there were not many direct encounters with Hector Kingdom, the Cronus Empire had already crossed the border and attacked for several years, demanding that the Cairo Kingdom become a vassal state of Cronus.

Kronos Empire.

Like Valhalla, it is one of the two major mountain ranges of the continent and the country that produced Emperor Alexander.

If they sincerely tried to destroy Cairo, they would have walked the path of destruction, but they did not see the end due to the interests between each country.

Cronos’ troops crossing the border from time to time.

Cairo’s soldiers were dying in the forefront, and traitors who followed Cronus urged them to surrender to Cronus.

It was truly a shabby reality of a small country, and besides that, Cairo never had a peaceful day due to foreign powers targeting Cairo like Valhalla.

The soldiers moved busily and carried the corpse.

No matter how much time passed, I couldn’t get used to the situation where my colleagues died because the country was weak.

wide plain.

I set fire to the corpses piled up like a mountain.

It was polite for the dead to do this at the forefront, where even funerals could not be held properly.

“Is Rodwell okay?”

on the one hand.

A man spoke to a colleague who was looking at the corpse.

They had officers’ marks on their chests, and a man called Rodwell said with fixed eyes.

“I’m used to it now. It’s not something you experience for a day or two.”

“I still didn’t know that the reality of the front line could be this bad. Even when I was sent to the training center for actual combat at the academy, I thought that a pink future was waiting in front of me. But sometimes it’s a reality. Dozens of times a day I worry about giving up my diploma and returning to my hometown.”

food.

Rodwell laughed.

understood.

When he was promoted to class S at the Royal Academy in Cairo, all his classmates, including himself, thought the same.

however.

Reality was the worst.

In the name of real combat experience, he spent a hellish time at the frontline training center and was eventually assigned to the Western Front with qualifications as a commander.

only one year. There, you can gain a dazzling honor if you go back to the academy after conceding experience, but at the point where you couldn’t fill half of them, your mentality was gradually collapsing.

a colleague said.

“Did you hear the news? your brother I heard that Roman Dmitri has risen to rank.”

Moment.

Rodwell frowned slightly.

I heard Roman’s rumors.

The title of the youngest ranker was a tremendous achievement enough to be known even in the forefront, and as a result, the seniors asked questions about Roman from time to time.

What kind of person is Roman and what does he like?

Interest in the older brother, who had never been curious about his existence before, exploded.

‘Roman.’

brother in memory.

Did he really reach the level of 3 stars?

no.

It couldn’t be.

No matter how lucky he was, the Roman Dmitri he remembers was a piece of trash that could not be revived.

“It’s nonsense. I don’t know what tricks the family did, but Roman is a guy who can’t protect himself, let alone rise to the ranks. Are you still an unofficial ranker? The truth will surely come out sooner or later.”

He sighed and turned around.

The older brother didn’t matter.

now.

It was time to be faithful to the reality given to oneself in order to rise higher.

protagonist of the story.

Unlike the noisy atmosphere around him, Roman devoted himself to training with a calm face.

“Whoa.”

I caught my breath.

My whole body was drenched in sweat due to the training that started in the morning, and my senses that were keenly raised put everything around me in the realm.

After the Phantasmal Metamorphosis, he trained using the Fire God Art.

It still took a lot of time to reach the level of her previous life, but one thing is for sure, she was steadily growing.

“What is going on?”

to the sensitive senses.

I heard people’s chuckles.

Hans said with a face that wasn’t too surprised by the ghostly reaction since it was a familiar thing.

“A guest came from outside.”

“A guest?”

“yes. May I guide you?”

There were no scheduled guests.

Roman postponed the meeting for the time being, took a shower, and then moved to the reception room.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Bentner.”

“This is Roman Dmitry.”

A man who shakes hands with a bright smile.

It was the first face I had ever seen.

When Roman sent everyone out of the waiting room with a wink, Bendtner finally revealed his true identity.

“I will tell you directly. I am a person who serves His Majesty the King of Cairo. The reason I came to see Dmitri, Roman Dmitri, is to appoint you as a Royal Knight of the Cairo Royal Family.”

The four factions of Cairo.

Bendtner was one of the royalists.

Sleeping dragon of the periphery.

People began to move in earnest to secure Roman Dmitri.
