The Melancholy of a Messenger.
I’m Samson. This time, I served as the messenger to deliver the Emperor’s decree.
It’s my job to keep various letters from His Majesty, and delivers them to the princes.
There’s certainly pressure as I can’t afford to make any mistake. But this job does have its own perks. Since I’m bringing forth the Imperial decree, everyone would most certainly welcome me. Therefore, it’s a quite enjoyable job.
However, this time it’s a very pressing matter. I regretted taking this task if I had to say so myself.
First of all it’s the recipient. This time it’s one of the Archdukes and, despite being said to be one of the strongest powers in the empire, no one truly knows the real extent of this family’s power. Moreover….. There were barely any information leaks, keeping the mysterious vibe intact.
In addition to that, it’s a direct order from the Emperor Himself.
That is:
[Make sure to send the young lord Ares Schwarzer here]
Just like that.
I couldn’t help but wonder why the Emperor is asking for the young lord instead? When it comes to war, isn’t one of the [Schwarzer’s Twin Generals] Rouen Beluga a better choice?
However, if I shirk on my duty and failed to bring back the young lord, I’ll lose my life. Why is His Majesty so obsessed in bringing the young lord to the capital….?
Why His Majesty even went as far as using the Imperial decree to summon a certain person?
Even more curious, it’s not for a general but for a young lord, who is not necessarily capable of fighting. With everything on the line, I had to do this in secret.
At first, I was mind boggled by this order. But upon arriving on Schwarzer territory, I had to change my mind.
This young lord Ares actually had a huge influence on the Schwarzer territory. Both the citizens and the army praised him. Apparently that young lord had brought about a huge improvement to the territory and without superseding the influence of the Archduke himself at that.
And when I arrived at the capital Romaria, I was amazed by the size of the city and the sophisticated culture.
(Roads connect all the towns and public order is very good. Moreover, the sophistry of this city….! It’s not below that of the Imperial Capital!!)
Sculptures casually carved on public places and the vibrant stores along with the Blue Sky Market, roads and housings. Although smaller in scale, the prosperity is already comparable to that of the most prosperous areas like the northern and the eastern districts of Imperial capital.
And in this city…. his name also resounded.
Everyone in the city….from the great priest of the temple to the ordinary folk…. All speak of his name in praises.
I must correct myself now. This young lord Ares is more influential than the Archduke himself, perhaps.
Therefore, when I finally visited the Archduke resident….I was overwhelmed.
I want to see it though. Will the Archduke let go of his most cherished son to obey the decree? Will there be dissatisfaction from the vassals and the people?
The other side is the Archduke. If he refuses, which he may, then I’ll lose my head. Here, I once again got reminded of how heavy the pressure that this task had given me.
However, it appeared that my concern was too exaggerated as the Archduke willingly sent his son to the capital. I was greatly relieved.
My worries vanished….and I was freed from the great burden.
Why did His Majesty seem obsessed over this though?
Most probably, it’s because of his capability. He managed to develop this city to this extent after all. Also, judging from the good opinion of the army, the young lord seemed to be proficient in terms of warfare too.
But is it really because of just that?
His Majesty is fond of good talent. They are probably acquaintances already….. Perhaps His Majesty had His own plan for the young lord….
What’ll happen after the young lord arrived in the capital…. It seems that it’ll be interesting to see.
Yes…. there will be no loss in paying some attention to him. The capital is quite chaotic recently. At the moment, Archduke Rudehart, Archduke Saxon and the First Prince faction held the most power….It may be a good idea to pay some attention to Archduke Schwarzer too…
Right, I’ll at least try to survive for now….
