Chapter 200 Principality of Dmitri (5)
Kingdom Union.
It refers to four kingdoms in the southwestern part of the Salamander continent, geographically facing the borders of the Cronus Empire and the Valhalla Empire, and they created a ‘kingdom union’ to protect each other.
Like Cairo, they have always been sensitive to imperial issues.
The difference is that they are still well-knit internally, but people say they would never have compromised had it not been for the Imperial threat.
water and oil.
A coalition for survival.
They instinctively recognized how important Roman Dmitri was.
A few days before the proclamation of the Principality of Dmitry.
In the Umberto royal family, a meeting was held under the leadership of Count Verdi.
“Your Majesty the King. The civil war in Cairo this time is an exceptional event that has never been similar in the history of the Salamanders. In the meantime, there have been incidents of anger and revenge against the atrocities of the empire. But I’ve never had a finish as clean as this one. Roman Dmitri boldly opened the city gates, killed Count Fabio and Gustavo Knight Commander, and drew our Kingdom Alliance in preparation for the wrath of the Empire. That means he is a character who knows how to use his brain as well as force.”
Roman Dmitry.
His actions shocked the continent.
People held their breath and paid attention to everything Roman Dmitry was doing.
“The atrocities of the Kronos Empire are getting worse day by day. So far, the Kingdom Alliance has managed to hold on, but there is no guarantee that they will be safe forever. Roman Dmitry. We need to make him a member of Umberto Kingdom. By the time he is unmarried. As long as we can proceed with his marriage with the princess and secure Roman Demitri, Umberto’s future will be secure.”
“Count Verdi. Doesn’t the princess have someone she admires right now?”
“This is not the time to care about such private feelings. The situation on the continent is changing every moment. Considering the power that Principality of Dmitry showed in this war, I can’t dare imagine how much they will grow. Now is your chance. Roman Dmitry. We must go further and accept the Principality of Dmitri.”
break up.
that’s the only flaw
It may have been an issue in the past, but now it doesn’t seem like a flaw.
It is known that Roman Dmitri defeated Gustavo Knight Commander at the age of mid-twenties and is the heir to the Duchy of Dmitri, and that even the Phoenix Mage Tower became part of Dmitri due to this war.
Since they are also a wealthy family with the continent’s largest iron mine, they were truly perfect allies with financial resources.
My mouth watered.
At Count Verdi’s strong insistence, King Umberto said.
“i get it. I will entrust you with full authority over this matter, so make sure to get married to Roman Dmitri.”
“I take orders.”
however.
Other kingdoms were not different.
Redford Odelia Kingdom of the Kingdom Alliance.
The same thing was said about the rest of the countries except the Franks.
so that.
After figuring out each other’s intentions at Dmitri’s party, they instinctively knew that a war had begun.
* * *
Again, the player was Count Verdi.
The representatives of the other kingdoms turned to Duke Romero as if they were not paying attention and spoke plainly.
“This is true. I tried to refrain from bragging, but I still have to say something. Prince Dmitry. Princess Umberto is called the most beautiful woman in Umberto and has both beauty and wisdom to the extent that she graduated with excellent grades from a prestigious academy. In fact, many kingdoms wanted to marry Princess Umberto, but His Majesty King Umberto vehemently refused, saying he could not give his daughter away.”
It is not a lie.
In fact, Princess Umberto received the attention of many men, and in fact, was a person with such a reputation that it was said that she could choose to marry.
“By the way, even His Majesty King Umberto said he would welcome with open arms any man the size of Roman Dmitri. Aren’t they a really good pair? Umberto’s best woman and Dmitri’s best man are getting married. I am sure this is a decision for the future of both countries.”
Immediately after praising the princess.
Raised Roman Dmitry to the same level.
Count Verdi was convinced that the speech that melted the opponent’s heart would surely be eaten.
however.
“Count Verdi. I’ve heard of Princess Umberto’s reputation, but isn’t there someone else who admires her? Rumor has it that you often meet with the man from the baron family and talk about the future. Are we finished talking about him?”
It was Viscount Ringo.
When he mentioned the part he had kept secret, Count Verdi reacted like he had a seizure.
“What do you mean? These are rumors that have nothing to do with the truth.”
“Ah, it’s an open fact, so why are you denying it so much? Prince Dmitry. A person who has a mate is happy to hang out with that mate. Just tell me what kind of woman you want. As soon as I return to the kingdom, I will draw up a list of women from prestigious families. You don’t have to worry about any issues related to divorce. No one will ever take issue with that part.”
“Viscount Ringo!”
The atmosphere turned grim.
When Count Verdi blushed and showed sharp eyes, Marquis Marten spoke this time.
“Everyone, do it in moderation. Dmitri’s marriage is not a matter for us to discuss. It is for the future of Principality of Dmitri, so you need to choose carefully. with stupid words. We, Odelia, are the only country that can match the Principality of Dmitri. Think about it. Right now Umberto and Redford are not in a good situation, so wouldn’t it be too greedy to want to marry the Duchy of Dmitri?”
“This man!”
Crossed the line.
Even Viscount Ringo, who showed a relaxed expression in the situation where he touched the reverse, exploded.
“What kind of nonsense is that all of a sudden in such a nice place! Marquis Marten. I thought he was a good person, but I didn’t expect him to be so rude. Apologize right now!”
“What an apology! Duke Dmitri says nothing, but you guys who unilaterally force a wedding are rude!”
There was an uproar.
It was according to popular rumor.
They banded together to survive, but they didn’t get along like water and oil.
a growing atmosphere.
said Duke Romero.
“Everyone please stop.”
tall.
Momentary stillness came.
Everyone should look good to Duke Romero, so I didn’t want to make the atmosphere harsh by going against his words.
“Roman marriage is not my decision. I am not interested in arranged marriages. If Roman brings a lifelong bond, it will be because he has met the woman he really loves, not for national interest. So you don’t have to do this to me. Rather try to seduce Roman. If you are the woman who wins my son’s heart, I will welcome you with open arms.”
at that point.
The kingdom representatives looked at each other again.
Apparently they had something to do on their way back.
* * *
That’s when it was a mess for a while.
Baron Larsson, the representative of the Frankish kingdom, had more important issues to solve than his marriage to Roman Dmitri.
“Felix.”
“… Baron Larsson?”
On the other side of the party.
Felix, who was talking with people in twos and threes, noticed Baron Larsson and his eyes widened.
The two were familiar with each other.
To be precise, he was a person who played a very large role in attracting Phoenix to Frank.
“Are you here as a representative of Frank?”
“you’re right. It’s not different, could we talk about it separately?”
“… All right. Come here.”
took a step
When we moved to the terrace where people were rare, Baron Larsson immediately got to the point.
“His Majesty the King of the Franks was very embarrassed when the Phoenix Magic Tower suddenly disappeared. I will not ask why you moved to the Dmitry principality. Can’t you come back to Frank? We are fully reflecting on the parts that have made us sad, and we will not hold back our full support for the Phoenix Magic Tower in the future. I can promise you this in my name.”
civil war in Cairo.
In the process of making Roman Dmitri famous, there was a force that attracted people’s attention along with him.
It was Phoenix.
Regarded as the lowest among the mage towers on the continent, they showed the appearance of implementing burning, which was said to have been lost.
The look of Felix destroying Benedict’s castle was overwhelming, and the dominant opinion was that they should be reevaluated just because they found the secret.
to such rumors.
Frank was furious.
They thought the phoenix was no longer useful.
The Magic Tower is a monster that constantly sucks in money, but the Phoenix Magic Tower, which lost its secret power, was not worth investing that much money in.
But what is this? Things have changed.
In the process of subtly cutting off support, the phoenix suddenly emptied the mage tower and disappeared, appearing in a state where ‘Burning’ was perfectly implemented.
The lights went out on fire.
Thinking that the phoenix was originally their own power, the kingdom of the Franks urgently sent a person.
A look of pity was evident on Baron Larsson’s face.
I knew that I had no shame even as I spit out the words.
just as expected.
Felix’s expression hardened.
“You know me well. That Frank broke his promise to Phoenix.”
“This time is different than before. I’m in charge… … .”
“no. Any suggestions are useless. Do you know what was the first thought that came to my mind after moving to Dmitry? I learned that this is what it feels like to be trusted. Dmitri didn’t just demand performance from us, we respected each other and overdid our initial promise.”
the war is over
Phoenix has received many calls.
Everyone said they wanted to bring Phoenix into their home, but the answer was the same despite the huge offer.
“We have sworn allegiance to Roman Dmitri. It’s not a matter of conditions. We’ve found someone who appreciates our worth, and we’re not going to go any other way until he throws us out first. So go back to Frank and speak to His Majesty the King. My relationship with Frank is now over.”
I took a step back.
to look like that.
Baron Larsson could not bear to be captured.
Even though the Franks occupied an advantageous position, they made the mistake of stealing the treasure from Dmitri, who was only an aristocratic family.
I had a headache.
It was Baron Larsson who was worried about how to report back to the kingdom.

Dreams of different statues.
In a limited space called a party hall, people moved according to different purposes.
Roman Dmitri looked down on it from above.
‘The two empires did not send anyone. The Cronos Empire has already announced their purpose by foretelling the assassination, and the Valhalla Empire has revealed its intention not to let go of the death of Count Denver through this proclamation ceremony.’
Empire.
Their position is solid.
People call Kronos the evil of the continent, but the Valhalla Empire couldn’t be seen as such a good group either.
How did Valhalla live until it reached the position of an empire?
Of course, they proved their strength by trampling on the surrounding kingdoms, and like Cronus, they did not allow their status to fall.
It was the same.
Just as Kronos foretold the assassination, Valhalla will also think that the Count of Denver’s revenge is absolutely necessary.
People who follow the Empire.
revenge for them
In order for the empire to exist as an empire, there was no problem that could be overlooked.
‘The situation on the continent is changing rapidly. Everyone knows that the Kronos Empire has openly revealed its ambitions to conquer the continent, and the Valhalla Empire also has many ambitions. As the representatives of the Kingdom gathered here, it will be a fight between the Empire and the Kingdom Alliance in the future.’
kingdom union.
The weak joined forces.
Frank Umberto Redford Odelia.
and Cairo and Hector.
Roman Dmitry had no intention of blindly trusting the coalition of the weak.
Being united because the power is weak means that the balance of power collapses the moment someone betrays and joins the strong.
‘Alliance with neighboring kingdoms is temporary. In the end, you have to be able to stand against the empire with your own strength.’
My throat is burned.
The moment I took a sip of wine, Hans came over and said,
“young master. The guest is waiting in the reception room.”
“I don’t think there will be any guests promised in advance. Who are you saying is waiting for me?”
A guest visiting the guest room.
he’s right
“I am the prince of the kingdom of Hector.”
a few days ago.
Edwin Hector, who embarrassed Knight Commander Jonathan guarding the castle gate, was an unexpected person looking for Roman.
