A hard object pushed back.
The Marquis Benedict, with his messy hair and a wretched face, trudged away, missing a pair of shoes.
Running through the bushes, the soles of the feet were torn.
Pain rose from his feet, but as soon as he arrived at the Benedict Castle, he could not lift his head at the attention focused from all directions.
"You are the Marquis Benedict!"

"I ran away on my own, but it looks good!"
soldiers of the nobility.
Those who struggled to protect Benedict's Castle until the end, fell into captivity when the castle was captured.
In fact, it wasn't a fight that ended in vain.
Even after Roman Dmitry attacked them, they fought to the end, and at some point they knew that things were going to be weird.
There was no one giving orders.
Apparently, Cameron, who was screaming on the wall, disappeared, and the nobles, including the Marquis Benedict, did not appear from the beginning.
The moment the trust was broken, the war had no choice but to end.
One by one, they gave up their weapons and expressed their intention to surrender, and those feelings spread like an epidemic.
this war.
It is a civil war in the same country.
It was a war that was fought according to the cause of the leaders leading the soldiers, but since the leaders fled, there was no reason to fight.
The tight balance suddenly collapsed.
The Kingdom Army captured all the soldiers who had lost their hostility, and looked inside the castle until the sun went down to cut off any unforeseen variables.

It was a victory for the kingdom.
And at the sight of the Marquis Benedict who was dragged to the tragic Molgol, the prisoners spit on their way.

"Go to hell!"

As the saliva dripped down and fell to the floor, Marquis Benedict's stomach simmered.
The smell of feces on my body didn't make my saliva feel so disgusting.
However, he could not accept this situation where the atrocities of the soldiers towards him, the most powerful person in Cairo, were transmitted through the five senses.

It was a place where everyone's attention was focused.
The Marquis Benedict lifted his head and saw Roman Dmitry approaching him.

That moment.
The spirit of the Marquis Benedict fell into the memories of the past that had been forgotten for a while.

decades ago.
A grand party was held in Cairo.
For the union of the Cairo royal family with the most prestigious Benedict in Cairo, delegations from other countries were sent to congratulate them on their marriage.
The Marquis Benedict was also there.
Having inherited his father's position at a young age, he could not hide his delight in the marriage of his younger brother, whom he regarded as a daughter.
from that day on.
I had a really happy day.
Father of Daniel Cairo.
Even until the previous king revealed his incompetence.
"The atrocities of the Kronos Empire are getting worse day by day. They invade national borders whenever they have a chance, and even within the country, they interfere with the affairs of the country by using the imperial knapus. King's Majesty. Cairo has no power. I am well aware that I have no choice but to watch the atrocities of the Empire, but that doesn't mean I can't afford it. Get your powers right. We must prove Cairo's will by cutting off the necks of the knapweeds.
Western Front.
Many people died there.
The Marquis Benedict visited the palace in boiling blood, and set a sling around his neck to tell the future.
Benedict at that time may have been patriotic.
Thinking that the Benedictine family and the Cairo royal family were the same, the Kronos Empire could not help but watch the atrocities that looked down on the kingdom.
But.
The king did nothing.
The reason was simple.
that people cannot be put at risk.
It was the king's judgment that he would not be able to bear the retaliation for killing the imperial knapus.
The love of the people was a virtue of a king, but in the eyes of the Marquis Benedict, this was not the case.
one visitation. Looking into the long 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 an ideal that was only good on the surface gave meaningless peace.
It was from then.
Cairo's power collapsed.
While the king could not make indecisive judgments, the imperial factions following Kronos and Valhalla terrifiedly inflated their power.
To counter him, the Marquis Benedict gathered forces.
Even if Cairo's royal family was stupid, he had no intention of dedicating the entire Cairo to the Empire.
around that time.
The incident happened.
The queen, who was weak from the beginning, fell ill, and died despite the king's utmost sincerity.
He had the same chronic disease as the father of the Marquis Benedict.
As the ties that had barely been linked with Cairo's royal family crumbled, as he watched his sister's funeral with a cold expression, the Marquis of Benedict questioned whether it was right for the kingdom of Cairo to go as it is.
A place to commemorate the queen.
The Imperials chuckled.
Their expression, which could not be seen as sadness, ignited the heart of the Marquis Benedict.
"I can no longer trust the Cairo royal family. They will form an independent force that will represent Cairo and lead Cairo on the right path. Tell the nobles who follow me. If you are going to follow me, Benedict, and not the Cairo royal family in the future, swear allegiance to me and me on the specified date."
nobility.
they have been transformed
The king of Cairo, who spoke only idealistic words, was unbelievable, and his only successor, Daniel Cairo, was too young and very similar to the king.
The kingdom had no future.
Even if Cairo's history later evaluated him as a being crazy about power, he firmly believed that he was right for the moment he made the decision.
And.
The former king died.
In the outcome everyone had hoped for, the Marquis Benedict ascended the invisible throne.

was on the verge of death.
I wanted to face the end as bluntly as possible, but the memories that cluttered my head made me cry.
It was embarrassing.
what did he mean he did wrong?
From the beginning, like Gregory and Denver, he could give away the kingdom as it was, but the Marquis Benedict did his best to maintain the kingdom of Cairo.
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.
With the sword in his hand and the cold gaze looking down, the Marquis Benedict raised his face and shouted in a smirk.
"I, I did not do anything wrong. How much I have dedicated myself to this country and you are trying to kill me! The former king of Cairo certainly had an opportunity to deal with the imperial sects before they grew in power, but he postponed his choice because he feared the death of his people. a really good king If this world were a heaven where blood and death were not allowed, he would have been the kind of king to whom the people would give their love. But the reality is not so. While the weak king ruined the country, I was centered so Cairo did not fall!"
I put a belt on my neck.
It was miserable.
No matter how people viewed him, he vomited out the emotions he had built up inside.
"The former king is dead. Daniel Cairo ascended to the throne with a foolish voice to make the people happy. Roman Dmitry. If it were you, would you be able to truly serve such a king? If you are cool and always make pragmatic judgments, you will know how I feel. The Empire of Kronos has crossed the border several times, and the tyrants are infested inside, and recently even the Kingdom of Hector looked down on us and declared war. that's cairo Then, wouldn't it be right for those who ascended the throne to have the strength to protect the kingdom in this chaotic state? Answer me. I'm wrong, look me in the eyes and tell me!
succumbed to evil
Blood vessels ruptured from his eyes, and blood flowed down like tears of blood.
Roman looked at him sternly.
Looking at the figure of the Marquis Benedict who claimed to be right, he thought of Daniel Cairo he remembered.
"I will not criticize your choice. Cairo may have had the opportunity to set the throne right, as you said."
However.
"It cannot be said that the previous king's choice was also wrong. If you led the nobles and made Cairo into a really strong kingdom, you would be criticized for being foolish for the choice of the former king who could not draw his sword at a better time. But look at the results. What the hell have you done? Even after you formed the nobility, the system of power remained the same, and when the kingdom of Hector crossed the border, you did not think about the country's security at all. It was garbage for power, and the cause you speak of has lost its meaning. And when you're really on the verge of collapsing. You chose to join hands with Kronos."
chuck.
pointed the sword
The Marquis Benedict did not avert his gaze.
Even when facing death, he expressed his will to the end, as if he was unfair.
"It is not shameful for a weak person to bow their head. If you can't take responsibility for that decision, even if it's the king who took the lives of countless people. You cannot blame him for choosing silence. I can tell just by looking at you right now. When you put yourself in the position of a decision maker, you became more scum than the being you were accusing. Although the Cairo royal family was accused of incompetence, they completely denied the royal family's existence, yet they never made a choice to sell the country.
Moment.
Marquis Benedict's eyes fluttered.

I knew what Roman meant.
crawled on my knees
I grabbed Roman's crotch.
" Please, please, live. I just spit it out in the hope that you would know my efforts. From now on, I will do my best for the Royal Family of Cairo, or for Dmitry. So please, save your life."

As if he had defecated on his body, the Marquis Benedict was undeterred in the face of death.
said Roman.
no. From the moment I drew the sword from Kairos, I was prepared to pay the price for my decision. If I had lost the war. After burning Dmitry, the family members must have been mistreated. We started an irreversible fight from the beginning. A fight that ends when one side must die. It doesn't matter whose choice is right. The responsibility of war lies with the losers. Against you, Benedict, I will show people what the words of the wrong choice are."
"Please, just once !"
"Cairo will remember today."

Cairo royal family.
Time passed slowly.
Daniel Cairo couldn't accept the fact that the fate of the country depended on Roman Dmitry.
'One out of three days has passed. If it takes a long time to subdue the aristocracy, 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? Had the compromise been made on the right track, at least the people of Cairo could have avoided danger even for a moment of peace.'
constantly pondered.
at times like this
I really envy people like Roman Dmitry.
A criminal like himself was constantly thinking about making a decision, but he couldn't shake the thought of whether it was the right decision again.
I opened my eyes straight
Sitting on the throne with his back straight, he firmly ate his will in order not to doubt his choice as much as possible.

But like that, I didn't want to be reduced to being a good person.
That was then.
"His Majesty the King! It's a triumph! Roman Dmitry has captured Benedict Castle!"

He left his seat and got up.

Destroying Benedict's Castle in one day.
While exhilarating joy stirred from his toes, he was horrified by Roman Dmitry's steps to turn his words into reality.
It was certain. Roman Dmitry was a monster Cairo couldn't handle.
In order to move forward with such a monster, he intuited the fact that he had to give up the relationship of a general war god.

"Praise for the war will be made clear afterward. Order them to go straight to the Western Front. The movement of the Kronos Empire is unusual. If we react even a little late, we may face irreversible consequences."

The civil war was settled, though.
Yet, the reality of Cairo could not guarantee peace.

The Empire of Kronos has crossed the border several times, and the tyrants are infested inside, and recently even the Kingdom of Hector looked down on us and declared war. that's cairo Then, wouldn't it be right for those who ascended the throne to have the strength to protect the kingdom in this chaotic state? Answer me. I'm wrong, look me in the eyes and tell me! succumbed to evil Blood vessels ruptured from his eyes, and blood flowed down like tears of blood. Roman looked at him sternly. Looking at the figure of the Marquis Benedict who claimed to be right, he thought of Daniel Cairo he remembered. "I will not criticize your choice. Cairo may have had the opportunity to set the throne right, as you said." However. "It cannot be said that the previous king's choice was also wrong. If you led the nobles and made Cairo into a really strong kingdom, you would be criticized for being foolish for the choice of the former king who could not draw his sword at a better time. But look at the results. What the hell have you done? Even after you formed the nobility, the system of power remained the same, and when the kingdom of Hector crossed the border, you did not think about the country's security at all. It was garbage for power, and the cause you speak of has lost its meaning. And when you're really on the verge of collapsing. You chose to join hands with Kronos." chuck. pointed the sword The Marquis Benedict did not avert his gaze. Even when facing death, he expressed his will to the end, as if he was unfair. "It is not shameful for a weak person to bow their head. If you can't take responsibility for that decision, even if it's the king who took the lives of countless people. You cannot blame him for choosing silence. I can tell just by looking at you right now. When you put yourself in the position of a decision maker, you became more scum than the being you were accusing. Although the Cairo royal family was accused of incompetence, they completely denied the royal family's existence, yet they never made a choice to sell the country. Moment. Marquis Benedict's eyes fluttered. felt wrong. I knew what Roman meant. crawled on my knees I grabbed Roman's crotch. " Please, please, live. I just spit it out in the hope that you would know my efforts. From now on, I will do my best for the Royal Family of Cairo, or for Dmitry. So please, save your life." begged was exhausted As if he had defecated on his body, the Marquis Benedict was undeterred in the face of death. said Roman. no. From the moment I drew the sword from Kairos, I was prepared to pay the price for my decision. If I had lost the war. After burning Dmitry, the family members must have been mistreated. We started an irreversible fight from the beginning. A fight that ends when one side must die. It doesn't matter whose choice is right. The responsibility of war lies with the losers. Against you, Benedict, I will show people what the words of the wrong choice are." "Please, just once !" "Cairo will remember today." flash. slashed the sword People screamed. Some looked straight with their eyes wide open, some avoided their gaze, and some were astonished. the price of rebellion. Roman's sword cut off the head of the Marquis Benedict. tuk. Degururu. head rolling on the floor The body, which had lost its head, collapsed helplessly. Cairo giant. It was the last of the Marquis Benedict, once called the living power. * * * Cairo royal family. Time passed slowly. Daniel Cairo couldn't accept the fact that the fate of the country depended on Roman Dmitry. 'One out of three days has passed. If it takes a long time to subdue the aristocracy, 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? Had the compromise been made on the right track, at least the people of Cairo could have avoided danger even for a moment of peace.' constantly pondered. at times like this I really envy people like Roman Dmitry. A criminal like himself was constantly thinking about making a decision, but he couldn't shake the thought of whether it was the right decision again. I opened my eyes straight Sitting on the throne with his back straight, he firmly ate his will in order not to doubt his choice as much as possible. own father. good man But like that, I didn't want to be reduced to being a good person. That was then. "His Majesty the King! It's a triumph! Roman Dmitry has captured Benedict Castle!" what?! jump He left his seat and got up. only one day. Destroying Benedict's Castle in one day. While exhilarating joy stirred from his toes, he was horrified by Roman Dmitry's steps to turn his words into reality. It was certain. Roman Dmitry was a monster Cairo couldn't handle. In order to move forward with such a monster, he intuited the fact that he had to give up the relationship of a general war god. still. it was ok Accept the life of a scarecrow and lead Cairo in the right direction as much as possible. joy for a while. "Praise for the war will be made clear afterward. Order them to go straight to the Western Front. The movement of the Kronos Empire is unusual. If we react even a little late, we may face irreversible consequences." suppressed the joy of victory. The civil war was settled, though. Yet, the reality of Cairo could not guarantee peace.
