Chapter 423 Nongonghaengsang (論功行賞) (3)
What was the most unconventional greeting in this nongonghaengsang?
It wasn’t Knight Commander Jonathan, Felix, or Fernando.
If they were sufficiently predictable, the order to give Hans the title of baron right after the coronation ceremony was truly unconventional.
Hans had no record of anything in the war.
Since he was only a servant, the rise of his status as a nobleman was a problem that even he himself could not understand.
Hans went straight to Roman Dmitri.
“… The title of baron. I do not understand this undeserved award bestowed upon me.”
My mind was complicated.
Some said just accept reality, but in the world Hans lived in, there were no unreasonable rewards.
It was overdone.
If he had a good enough criminal record like Chris and Kevin, he deserves an award, but when the world was entangled in chaos, Hans lived a life away from war in a safe space.
asked the truth
Since he had never wanted the life of an aristocrat, he showed his eyes asking him to tell the truth.
really.
He was a fun person.
Hans did not take for granted what ordinary people should be excited about.
said Roman Dmitry.
“Hans. The scope of meritorious deeds does not simply apply to previous criminal convictions. In the meantime, while many things have happened, you have carefully managed my life. And the being you served has now become the emperor of the Dmitri Empire. Why do you think it’s too much? Don’t you think that if you are a being who has to manage the emperor’s life in the future, you need a reward and a position that suits you?”
I was speechless.
people said
Hans is a happy being.
Although he was only a servant, the Dmitri family did not regard him simply as a servant.
He respected Hans’ role and helped Hans’ family in many ways so that they would not feel uncomfortable in their lives.
In fact, when I first started working as a servant, I did not anticipate such a future.
It is easy for servants to be ignored and treated like tools, but Roman Dmitri treated himself as a person.
That’s not enough.
give the title
Hans couldn’t figure out how to deal with this situation because of the emotions boiling inside him.
“In fact, it may be my personal greed to ask you to live for me even after I have given you a title. Hans. You don’t have to work as a servant anymore if you want. But if you wish to live for me in the future, please accept the reward I give you and lighten your heart.”
passed the option.
I wanted them to make their own choices without being forced.
Hans kept biting his lip.
From the beginning, he had never thought of leaving Dmitri, but the fact that he respected him made him feel as if he had received a great gift.
Dmitry accepted himself into the family.
His actions in the past proved that fact, and even now, after leaping into an empire, he once again told the reality.
People.
Everyone has their own dreams.
Just as each person demanded different rewards in his performance, Hans received an emotionally sufficient reward, regardless of the fact that he was given a title.
No matter what will happen to Dmitry in the future.
As their companion, this man named Hans will live a life in which he wishes Dmitri peace.
“… great. Of course it’s good. From now on, this Hans will live for Dmitri.”
He nodded.
Roman Dmitri smiled at the sight of him nodding vigorously and repeatedly.

A few days before the international conference.
News of Hans spread quickly.
When people gathered in groups of two or three, they all talked about Hans as if they had promised.
“Has there ever been a case in which a servant was given the title of a nobleman?”
“Strictly speaking, there was none. lets think. No matter how closed the aristocratic society is, who would grant the title of nobility to a servant who was not born with it? This is really unusual. His Majesty the Emperor, who was strict with war criminals like Ares, set a precedent for breaking down the boundaries of social status!”
Everyone was amazed.
In fact, Roman Dmitry’s attitude towards ordinary people was famous before.
Usually, nobles are easy to ignore unless they are from the same noble family, but Dmitri thoroughly respected the working class.
Dmitry has been called the land of non-discrimination, giving enough value to occupations such as blacksmith and miner.
In the first place, Hao Mun’s members were also made up of ordinary people, such as employees working at a general restaurant and fruit shop owners, so Dmitri’s characteristics became more prominent.
Even so.
The bestowal of titles of nobility was a separate matter.
No one expected that Hans, who was only a servant, would be allowed a precedent that would break down the boundaries of social status.
A pub away from Dmitry.
Even though they had nothing to do with Hans, they said this with reddened faces.
“This incident proves the sincerity of His Majesty the Emperor. His Majesty the Emperor said that he had no prejudice in everything, but the punishment of Ares and even the case of Hans proved that he was consistent with his words and actions. At least in the world we will live in, Dmitri will not hold us to the bar of prejudice.”
“I mean. As soon as I confirmed the results of this work, I was convinced that I should move to Dmitry and live there. Kevin Hans. These people are not of noble birth. They were mere servants, boys from the slums, but His Majesty the Emperor did not forget the hard work he had done for Dmitri and gave them ample rewards. This is the future. Dmitry will never forget the sacrifices of those who gave their lives for this country.”
Trust is not built in an instant.
actions in the past.
Respecting the working class, establishing a system for those who died in the war, and even showing an unconventional figure in this non-public event, people cried out to Dmitri and raised their glasses.
I was happy.
Meantime.
The system of the Salamander Continent was truly devastating.
The Kronos Empire never apologized even when they made a mistake, and many people suffered because of their persecution and ambition to conquer the continent.
It was not enough to defeat the Kronos Empire, which was a symbol of evil.
Roman Dmitry’s ideal system ignited people’s motivation.
Some people.
I was afraid of Roman Dmitry.
However, ordinary people who had nothing to do with power gladly accepted the changing world.
Hans’ work.
It was a story that everyone in the know knew that from that day on, the people who worked for Dmitri became more motivated.

Back to the present.
William was visibly embarrassed.
As soon as I confirmed that the opponent was Hans, a warning sound alerted me to the danger rang in my head.
‘Damn it. Of course, to touch Baron Hans.’
Dmitry List.
In that list, Hans was recorded as follows.
[The closest person to Roman Dmitry. It is understood that he managed Roman Dmitri since childhood and because of that they have a very special relationship. Roman Dmitri showed affection to the extent of sending gifts directly to Hans’ party, and Hans’ family is living with Dmitri’s full support. Being granted the title of baron in this work is an obvious result proving that Hans is Dmitri’s real power, so if you meet him in Dmitri, you should never ignore him just because he is from a servant.] Baron Hans
.
was a major figure.
So, after checking the picture countless times to remember his face, William was bewildered by the ridiculous mistake he had made.
What do you mean by this?
In fact, treating a servant disrespectfully was not a problem, but because the opponent was Baron Hans, it seemed like the thought had stopped.
first.
I had to apologize.
Without thinking back, William lowered his head first.
“sorry! I didn’t know it was Baron Hans and I was rude!”
“no. I think you can be mistaken enough because it looks like this.”
Hans laughed.
William looked at Hans with a genuinely thrilled expression at his generous attitude of overcoming the problem.
“There are rumors that Baron Hans has a great personality, but that was really true. I will clearly tell the people of the Kingdom of the Franks, including me, to prevent this from happening again in the future. It will never happen again.”
I gave up my pride.
King of the Franks.
He would face great resentment when he returned to the Franks if he left room for trouble because he held Roman Dmitri to heaven.
The world has changed.
Dmitri was now at the center of power, and even if Roman Dmitri didn’t raise an issue, countries like the Franks had no choice but to be wary.
It was a natural reason.
In a world of weak meat, it was normal for all but the best predators to be cautious.
Hans talked to the janitor and said:
“All the parts that King Frank wants have already been prepared. I haven’t been told about it separately, but I’ve checked in advance what parts I need to be careful about. You don’t have to worry about that part.”
Hans.
He was entrusted with the role of personally managing Roman Dmitry, but if there was nothing special, he carefully checked the affairs of the entire Dmitry Imperial Palace.
It was the same with this case.
At the end of the international conference, I checked the information of the kings of each country and checked the parts they were uncomfortable with and the parts they preferred.
The real power of the imperial palace.
Hans was faithful to his role.
Now, his position has risen as much as he has obtained the title of baron, but he has not forgotten what he must do.
William was amazed.
Hans smiled kindly at the sight of him saying thank you one after another.
“I hope you have a comfortable time here at Dmitry. And if you need any help, you are always welcome to come to me.”
that day.
To the people of the Frankish kingdom, Hans was a man with the dignity of an aristocrat, and a beautiful story was added.

That time.
At the international conference held in the Imperial Palace conference room, opinions were divided on one agenda.
said King Redford.
“I agree to revive the ranking system, but I cannot allow the winner to dare to challenge His Majesty the Emperor. Your Majesty the Emperor is now in a position to rule the continent. There can never be anything that exceeds the authority of Dmitri’s empire.”
“I also agree. It’s a sword fight. How could we agree to such a risky thing?”
It was Daniel Cairo.
Representatives of each country.
They agree on the ranking system, but they have no choice but to be negative about what Chris asked for.
Previously, Roman Dmitry was merely the heir to an aristocratic family.
At that time, it didn’t matter what kind of hardships he went through, but he could never allow Dmitri to do such a dangerous thing as the emperor of the empire.
It was a sensitive issue.
Most of them expressed objections, but Roman Dmitri expressed his thoughts in a steady voice.
“Before I am an emperor, I am a swordsman. For me who has risen to this position with a single sword, proving my existence is rather a matter of asserting my authority as an emperor. Do you think I will be defeated?”
“… Not really.”
“I want to prove my authority myself, not through the position of emperor.”
at that point.
I didn’t protest any longer.
As Roman Dmitri said, he had proven himself with a single sword, and it was unthinkable that he would be defeated by anyone.
Rather, I thought it was Roman Dmitri-like.
He showed great confidence in saying that he would prove himself every time, rather than avoiding challenges just because he was in the position of emperor.
at last.
Chris’s agenda passed.
After confirming the introduction of the ranking system, Lucas took a step forward to discuss the next issue.
“a few days ago. There is information received from Kronos. Let me show you that first.”
gave a signal
As the wizards installed something, a screen made of magic appeared in front of everyone.
[The disaster has become a reality. The dark door will open. It’s an unavoidable reality, and it’s nothing if you can’t see it in front of your eyes. Humans. Be vigilant. Get ready. be outraged On the day pitch-black darkness strikes the world, mankind will face an unprecedented disaster.]
That was the oracle.
In fact, because of this problem, Roman Dmitry called in representatives of each country.
said Lucas.
“This is the contents of the oracle found in Cronus’ secret room. Alexandre’s existence has already proven that the demons of the underworld are plotting something. And according to the oracle, a plan that has already been largely carried out will turn the continent into darkness in the not too distant future.”
Everyone’s expression became serious.
devildom.
It was a serious problem.
Roman Dmitry revealed the existence of the Pandemonium to the world, and representatives of each country acknowledged that it was an unavoidable reality.
However, no clear solution existed. The Demon Realm is a world that transcends the realm of humans.
Even monsters like Alexander were only their minions, so people couldn’t help but be afraid.
Silence lingered.
In a situation where everyone could not rush forward, Roman Dmitri looked at them and said with a calm face.
“The existence of the Demon Realm has become a reality. As I promised to the people, I will try to solve this problem proactively and not stand by. Somewhere in this world, there is a passage that connects to the Demon Realm. We do not know when an attack may come from there, so we must tremble with anxiety and endure fear without a promise.”
It was a strange statement.
When the representatives of each country felt strange, shocking remarks struck them.
“I do not wait for them to attack, but I want to attack them first through the passage of the Devil World. That is the reason for holding this international conference.”
