Epilogue, new days (6)
It was a foolish proposal.
What he said with a blank sheet of paper would never have been taken seriously if it had not been for the Marquis of Valentino.
'Probably the truth.'
several months ago.
There was one incident related to the Marquis of Valentino.
He had a work of art he coveted, and he said he could never sell it because it was his father's keepsake. It wasn't a lie to raise the conditions.
In fact, since he is a person who is famous for his stubbornness around him, I thought that there was no other way even as Marquis of Valentino this time.
a few days after that.
The Marquis of Valentino made the deal.
The other party had a vain dream of wanting to have his own island, but he really bought an uninhabited island of Odelia and suggested it to him.
In addition to that, a villa that will last a lifetime. The other person had to turn their eyes, and people talked about how brightly the other person laughed that day.
That was Valentino.
Called a collector of greed, he now looked at Chris with serious eyes.
said Chris.
"I understand the will of Marquis Valentino. I know this deal is a once in a lifetime opportunity, but any offer beyond that is unacceptable to me. It is not simply because of the symbolism of the sword, which was bestowed by His Majesty the Roman Dmitry. Even when I look at the performance of the sword itself, I am not confident that I will find a better sword than this in the future."
"I agree with that. But we will find an alternative."
"It is not possible as an alternative. If you've researched me, you don't know what I'm after."
Rankings are held every year.
Chris went on stage every time.
Trampling the challengers who surpassed his position, he has repeated the impossible challenge of surpassing Roman Dmitry.
At that time, there was a certain certainty that took over my mind. Even though he lacks this skill, if even the performance of his sword is pushed, he knows that there is no chance of winning.
Unlike Kevin, who said he could not sell anything because it was a sword given by Roman Dmitry, Chris was for practical reasons.
blast furnace.
Whatever the terms the Marquis Valentino offered, Chris had no intention of considering the deal from the start.
"The higher the skill level between each other, the more the game is decided by a single difference. If that moment comes, I will always regret selling the sword. I know the heart of the Marquis Valentino. If this sword is to be sold, I will definitely put the Marquis first."
" Does that moment ever come?"
"You don't know the world, do you? If I defeat His Majesty the Emperor and become recognized as the best sword on the continent, then I will not be bound by the performance of the sword."
at that word.
The Marquis Valentino distorted his expression.
It seems to be saying that there is a way in its own way, but everyone in the world knew how vain it was.
"It's me, Chris. I thought it was nice, but it's not like that. If you don't like it, say you don't like it, what nonsense are you talking about?"
There was no need to calculate.
The moment Chris said that the dream will come true will never come.
* * *
The commotion was over.
The Marquis of Valentino showed a squeaky reaction even just before parting.
"Chris. There are always going to be challenges in a person's life. When you get too tired to catch your breath for a while, when you fall to the floor and think you can't get up anymore. Turn your head and look at where I am. I will always be by Chris's side. If Chris reaches out to me, he will gladly hold it and help him move in the right direction. Keep that in mind. I'm always on Chris's side. of course One first no-name is enough for this blind love."
He was such a great person.
On the way to break up with him, I thought that maybe because of such a fanatical aspect, I might have become the richest man on the continent.
Actually that was the truth.
If he hadn't encountered Roman Dmitry's sword, which burned his desire to collect, the Marquis of Valentino would have lived in a well called Cairo.
took a step back
headed to the office.
Having finished the morning training, it was now his turn to deal with the tasks piled up in front of his name.
'Recently, Valhalla and Hector's relationship is not very good. Perhaps the bad ties of the past will continue. As Hector expands his power as a magical kingdom, he inevitably faces the Valhalla Empire.'
It was a sensitive issue.
Chris and Kevin.
Both belonged to independent units.
If Fernando, the bodyguard, was responsible for protecting the Imperial Palace, Chris and Kevin only acted on Roman Dmitry's orders.
Chris does the outward thing, and Kevin does the secret thing. The problem of Valhalla and Hector was in Chris's business period, so it was necessary to prepare in advance just in case.
just as expected.
Just as I arrived at the office and handed over some papers, a soldier delivered urgent news.
"Chris! There is a problem. It looks like Hector and Valhalla are trying to get along!"
tuk.
put down the pen
Chris leaned back on the chair, showing a cold expression.
"okay?"
The world was at peace.
However, the fight for the right of interest was a separate matter from peace.
* * *
The conflict between the two countries stemmed from one incident.
a few days ago.
Count Kazri, who runs the top in Valhalla, made a deal with Baron Stuart, a nobleman of Hector. So far there was no problem.
Shortly before the deal was closed, things started to get worse when Baron Stuart made a deal with someone else who offered him a better deal.
It was an ordinary problem.
It was very common in the upper world, but Count Kazuri reacted with great anger at the attitude of his opponent.
"How dare a baron water me?"
The nobles of Valhalla.
they are nationals
Although they were defeated by Dmitry and not the same as before, they still had pride as an empire. Hector touched the vice.
Obviously, it was a problem that could be passed on casually, but Count Kazuri felt that he was ignoring himself because Valhalla had fallen for nothing.
It was a foot of inferiority.
As Valhalla's characteristic militant disposition revived, this anger could not be resolved except through violent means.
They attacked Baron Stewart's carriage.
He interrupted the ascent and blew off Baron Stuart's cheek, shouting what the hell is this. Fortunately, there were no fatalities.
If it had been three or four years ago, the case would have ended like this, but King Edwin Hector, who is currently leading Hector, reacted with great anger as soon as he was informed of the incident.
"This is clearly Valhalla's fault. Unless Valhalla personally apologizes for this, I will never stand still as King of Hector."
This was the current situation.
In a situation from Hector to the king, for Count Kazuri, the lights on his feet fell too late.
He was immediately brought to the central government of Valhalla. Of course, he had expected the reprimand, but he heard an unexpected story from the Emperor of Valhalla.
"Hold on."
" Yes?"
"This issue was not going to escalate into a war between countries. But what do you think is the reason why Edwin Hector is raising this business until he comes out on his own? He needs a justification. A plausible cause to somehow elevate Hector's status, causing a direct conflict with Valhalla."
lately.
Valhalla and Hector bumped into each other.
There was no particular dispute.
As Hector expanded his power as a magical kingdom, a problem arose as he no longer treated Valhalla as before. It was a time to see each other.
If he took a step back from here, there could have been a situation in which Valhalla, a patterned empire, was completely pushed aside by Hector.
Earl Kazuri and Baron Stewart.
Both were just excuses.
When Hector hired Baron Stuart to raise his job, the Emperor Valhalla also announced that he could not step down.
"In this world ruled by Dmitry, the country that occupies the next seat can enjoy wealth and glory. Cairo and Hector secured priority in the Continental Wars, but that doesn't mean their positions will last forever. Valhalla will surely prove the power of the Empire and take the place next to Dmitry."
It was a strong voice.
I never meant to be hostile to Dmitry.
But.
He had no intention of excluding power.
"I will deal with your orders."
Count Kazuri laughed.
Valhalla looks after you.
There was nothing better for him.
But the joy is short-lived.
When Valhalla did not officially handle this matter, Hector requested a magical communication within a few days.
* * *
Beyond the communication screen.
Edwin Hector appeared.
He, who inherited the position of the king through formal procedures, looked at the leaders of Valhalla with a cold expression.
[There is no law anywhere in the world to attack an opponent because a transaction has not been made. It's a simple matter. Count Kazuri made a mistake, and we hope he apologizes. If you stick to your current attitude even when the answer is obvious, Hector will have no choice but to doubt your intentions.]
He openly pointed out the error.
The atmosphere was cold and frozen.
At Edwin Hector's point, Emperor Valhalla, seated at the top, opened his mouth.
"King of Hector. This is a personal matter. If Baron Stewart had personally asked Count Kazuri to apologize, we would have tried to make things right. But with Hector himself, we couldn't do that. Even if Count Kazuri was at fault, it was Hector's fault for making it a problem between nations."
[So you're saying you can't apologize?]
"Yes."
[Valhalla is now mistaken. empire and kingdom. As I do, the meaning has faded, except for the Dmitry Empire. However, to ignore this issue just because Valhalla is unacceptable to admit his wrongdoing is ignoring us. Emperor of Valhalla. Hi, do you think this is correct?]
crossed the line
It was as expected.
Even if Hector had a cause, it was a matter of national pride.
"Don't cross the line anymore."
[all right.]
Edwin Hector's expression hardened coldly.
Negotiations broke down.
[Please do not regret this choice.]
tuk.
Unilateral termination of communication.
At the blackened screen, the leaders of Valhalla were at a loss for words.
* * *
" Is this the right response?"
said one of the leaders.
Edwin Hector's last words.
left anxiety.
He was called the star of Hector, and he was not the only person who would have to suffer.
In a situation where the gazes of the leaders were concentrated, Emperor Valhalla met their gazes with unshaken eyes.
"Valhalla is currently going downhill. Defeated in the Continental War, we swore allegiance to His Majesty Roman Dmitry, doing what we thought was right. Thus, the present Valhalla was created. To restore the glory of the past, to revive the romance of Valhalla. We are here."
expression changed.
Once a nobleman, he now has the dignity of an emperor.
"No matter what happens in the future, keep your dignity as an empire. Be a warrior. There will come a time when we will have to deal with what we think is not right in order to keep our position."
everyone in this place.
I found out the truth.
This problem is the fault of Count Kazuri.
But neither Hector nor Valhalla had the will to solve the starting problem.
fight for self-esteem.
Hector started the fight, and Valhalla did not back down.
That was then.
Bump!
"His Majesty the Emperor! It's a big deal!"
The knight opened the door and entered.
People's eyes were focused on his pale expression.
"Just now. Hector has crossed the borders of Valhalla!"
This made sure
As soon as the situation changed, they crossed the border.
Edwin Hector had no intention of improving relations with Valhalla from the outset.
