Chapter 225 The Land of the Awakening Blind (4)
It didn’t take long to find the prince.
As usual, the prince stayed at the villa, and the Earl of Rondon told the truth of what he had witnessed with a complex face.
“His Majesty the King passed away a little while ago.”
Redford’s last heir.
Charlo Redford said calmly.
“okay.”
“… Did you know?”
“My father came to me and told me the truth. He said that the royal family should fulfill its responsibility before Redford fell into the abyss, wondering why he had lived a dissolute life. You said it in circles, but in the end, it meant that this country could only survive if my father and I died.”
drank tea
Smelling the sweet smell, Charlo Redford looked at the shocked Earl of Rondon.
“You don’t need to be so upset. Even if your father doesn’t have to tell you. I knew my father’s secret from the start. The deaths of my brother and sister were not normal, and while looking at me with pity, I was convinced that there was a conspiracy in the series of events in Redford, with my father greedy for alcohol and women. And it was as expected. As I closely watched my surroundings, I noticed that the servants were adding something to my food. It had an element of detoxification, and if so, I could come to the conclusion that my father had acted out of his heart to save my life.”
“Why didn’t you tell me when you knew the truth?”
“Because saying nothing will change anything. Count of London. An evil group has reached its peak, killing the heirs of the royal family and threatening my father with my life. What should we do? Because he was poisoned with deadly poison, his son’s life was at stake. Is it right to ask to see the dissolute life?”
even tell the truth
There was no way to fix the underlying problem.
The moment the wizards ruled that the poison was indecipherable, Charlo Redford was about to die anyway.
even knowing that
The king could not let go of the string of life.
Having already lost two of her children, she could not lose the last one.
said the Earl of Londondon.
“… The Prince told me to lead a rebellion. Did you want to know the truth and do it?”
“Isn’t it inevitable? My father cannot give up his life, and I have no confidence to harm him directly. then. The only way for Redford to survive is for our rich man to die. So I asked him to raise a rebellion. Merely stepping down from the throne will not solve the country’s problems. I hoped the Earl of Rondon would raise the sword, as power must be fully transferred to the right person and it would matter if the royal line survived. The Earl of Rondon is the right person to inherit the throne of Redford. Knowing the years I devoted myself to Redford, I thought I would be the Count’s ‘justice’ if he was ready to make a decision.”
To bring down the king from his throne.
What if Charlo Redford died from deadly poison?
The Earl of Rondon would naturally have inherited the vacant seat of Charles Redford.
It was the prince’s plan.
Even knowing the truth, he risked his life for Redford even before his death.
“But my father made a decision first. When he told me the truth, he tried to be as calm as possible when he sentenced his son to death. I looked at my father and showed a face that I did not know the truth. Only then will my father die a little more comfortably.”
Charlo Redford.
People judged him unworthy of a throne.
Although he was not born with the ability to actually rule others, he accepted his destiny as a member of the royal family.
perhaps.
He may have been a man fit for a king.
Under normal circumstances, if he had accumulated experience and years, Charlo Redford would have inherited the throne and grown into a good king.
But the reality wasn’t like that.
The turbulent times were not peaceful enough to wait for young talent, so the heir to the royal family made the decision to accept his own death.
Count Rondon bowed his head.
I couldn’t look at the prince.
Emotions kept rising when he thought of the burden he had secretly shouldered, just as he had shouldered the burden of the kingdom.
said Charlo Redford.
“Lastly, there is something I want to ask of Count Rondon. Please do not make our rich man’s death in vain. Bring Redford back to life and take revenge on the evil horde that threw Redford into chaos. if you promise me that I will accept death with a smile.”
at that point.
Count Rondon nodded with his head bowed.
No words, no consolation.
Nodding over and over again was the best he could do because he couldn’t spit it out hastily.
* * *
Ten days after that.
Charlo Redford closed his eyes.
The energy of the deadly poison rose up and shook like a drug patient, and ended his life with a weak face unlike his dignified appearance.
At the last moment, he showed an obsession with life.
If it wasn’t for the status of a prince, he would have had a chance to live, but he stubbornly kept his mouth shut for the sake of those who would live in the future.
anyways
He knew that if he left any regrets, it would become a dagger in the chest of Count Rondon.
It was a gloomy day.
On a day with dark clouds and heavy rain, a public funeral was held at the order of the Earl of Rondon.
Hwareuk.
Roaring.
A fire broke out.
Two corpses were lying in the center of the tall tree, and the flames caused by magic burned the surroundings red even in the rain.
A lot of people watched that scene.
People lined up behind Count Rondon, and they forgot their mistakes and showed courtesy to the last appearance of the royal family.
king and prince.
The cause of death was publicly disclosed.
The king took his own life so as not to succumb to threats, and the prince died from the clutches of an evil group.
Redford’s people resented King Redford.
The crime that plunged the country into abyss deserves punishment, but the story in the meantime spread the flames of anger toward the ‘evil group’.
It was the Earl of London’s intention.
In order to raise a country whose foundation was shaken, everyone needed an existence to consider as a common enemy.
ruin the country
put the royal family to death.
The existence that even instigated a riot through Jacqueline.
As word spread that it was the Cronus Empire, people’s anger was great.
‘… Your Majesty the King. Prince Charlo.’
Count Rondon looked at the flames with complicated eyes.
at last.
Redford had his own story.
The King is only the King, the Prince is the Prince, he is his own Jacqueline, and Jacqueline’s own story existed.
If only we had been a little more honest with each other.
There must have been a chance to solve the problems that had rotted away, but the wrong choices were repeated and made the current Redford.
at one time
The Earl of Rondon lived by his own story.
Although he was accused of being a traitor, he thought he had shouldered the burden of the kingdom, but just as Jacqueline attacked herself based on the visible truth, she also attacked the palace without recognizing the king’s truth.
It is not that the king’s atrocities were lies.
However, the fact that he knew the truth only after the king chose death remained in his heart.
‘Redford will not fall like this. We will build a nation that will never fail to doubt the truth in front of us, listen to what people say, and will not collapse even in the conspiracies of evil groups like the Kronos Empire. And necessarily. I will take revenge.’
gritted it
All burned to the flames spewing acrid smoke.
Count Rondon turned around and spoke to the Royal Knights Commander who was now following him.
“The coronation ceremony will be held in a few days. Pick a place and tell people about it.”
“All right.”
leave death behind
From now on, it was my turn to live the lives of the living.
* * *
Usually, the government secured by rebellion is not cheered by the people.
however.
The Earl of Londonon was different.
With the death of the king and the prince, the generation was cut off, and people naturally appointed the Earl of Rondon as the new king.
It was not a throne won by rebellion.
The Earl of Rondon obviously went to the king with his troops, but the people in the palace kept their mouth shut, so the common people did not protest at all about the Count of Rondon’s accession.
rather enthusiastic.
Who is the Earl of Londonon?
He was a person who devoted himself to Redford outside the public eye.
As the years of calling him a traitor left him with guilt, his heart toward Count Rondon became more enthusiastic.
“Your Majesty the King! Congratulations on your enthronement!”
“Wowaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
“Redford! Redford!”
“Redford! Redford!”
in front of the palace.
People flocked.
At the place of announcing the new king’s enthronement, they let out a chorus of cheers.
Count of London.
No, now called King Redford, he looked around at the people.
‘They are the people I will rule from now on.’
ten days ago.
After the situation was over, Roman Dmitri said this one last time before leaving Redford.
“Count Rondon. Now that the truth has been revealed, people will send enthusiastic cheers towards the Count. As if there was no time to criticize him as a traitor. You will show blind loyalty. Do not attach great importance to such changes. Those who called traitors, those who raised their voices to respect them, and those who took part in the riot that attacked the Count. All of them are Redford’s people. What they will look like will depend on the reign of the Earl of Rondon in the future. In fact, it cannot be ruled out that their failure to hear or see the truth is the fault of the leaders who failed to create such an environment in the first place. Keep that in mind.”
Roman Dmitry’s words.
engraved on the chest
King Redford raised his hand, forgetting past memories.
Cheers that burst out like an explosion.
Redford will never repeat the mistakes of the past.
* * *
When Redford faced a period of upheaval.
Roman Dmitri reverted to Dmitri.
‘If the Kingdom of Redford regains stability around Count Rondon, Dmitri will gain a strong ally.’
Count of London.
He said he would definitely build the country.
And if they wage war against the Cronus Empire in the future, they will do their best to fight Cronus even for their own revenge.
It wasn’t a bad result.
The kingdom union, which had been about to collapse, regained stability, and Redford treated Dmitri as a lifelong benefactor rather than a mere ally.
I organized my thoughts about Redford.
From now on, it’s up to them.
The most important issue for the future ahead was ensuring that Dmitri would not be shaken by the storm.
take a few days off
Roman Dmitry called Chris.
“chris. We must leave for the Valhalla Empire in the near future. You can’t bring all your troops with you at that time. Both in Valhalla and in Dmitry. Because you don’t know what will happen, soldiers need to train for ‘the battlefield without me’ in case of an emergency. So, for the time being, we will cancel all schedules scheduled externally and proceed with special training for soldiers.”
“Do you have anything else to convey?”
“does not exist. Just tell them to get plenty of rest while preparing for training, as this will be a tough time.”
“All right.”
Chris nodded.
so far.
Dmitry’s training has always been arduous.
But when Roman Dmitri mentioned the word hard for the first time, he came out and murmured.
“… It’s a big deal.”
not Cairo.
Even the guy who is now called Dmitri’s Flash.
This time, there was tension about training.
Time passed just like that.
And soon, the deadline Valhalla said was right around the corner.
