Chapter 427 Battle for Dmitri (3)
Immediately after the international conference.
When the kingdom of Hector was busy dealing with the aftermath of the war, an envoy was sent from Dmitri.
“From now on, I will convey the will of His Majesty Emperor Dmitry. In this war, the Kingdom of Hector endured to the end against the Valhalla Empire and made a big contribution to winning the Continental War. If it had not been for Hector’s tenacious struggle, the Continental War would have gone in a completely different direction as the southern front was breached. I, Emperor Dmitri, acknowledge Hector’s credit, and Dmitri will bear the cost of repairing the damage caused by the war.”
that.
It was the sweet rain of a drought.
There is no perfect victory in war.
Whether won or lost, the aftermath of the battlefield was devastating, and Hector, who had barely regained the system of the kingdom, suffered considerable difficulties in the process of recovering the damage of the war.
People who complain of pain and a land that has become ruins.
It took a considerable amount of time to resolve all these problems, to the extent that there is a saying that war causes the development of mankind to retreat.
Roman Dmitri was not unaware of this fact.
Therefore, as soon as the situation was settled, an envoy was sent to take care of Hector’s situation.
“Dmitri’s support is not a one-time thing. We will continue to support Hector until he regains stability, and we will also provide manpower to repair the damage. Through this war, Dmitri and Hector proved that they are moving in the same direction. Dmitri will never forget Hector’s dedication so that in the future the two countries can form a cooperative relationship that guides each other.”
end with that.
The envoy withdrew.
In a situation where only Hector’s leadership remained, King Hector responded with delight.
“… We really made the right choice. Even though there is absolutely no reason for Dmitri to shoulder compensation for the damages of the war, he would do everything in his power to restore Hector. son your choice was right Dmitry is not a country that forgets the dedication of those who fought for them.”
Emotions surged.
last few years.
Hector had a hard time.
Alexander’s conspiracy starved the people, and the oppression of predators such as Cronus and Valhalla suffered from nightmares every day.
But Roman Dmitry put an end to all the problems.
Upon receiving a message telling the way to live, King Hector wanted to express his emotions as they were, if it were not for a public occasion.
Hector’s future.
It was bright.
Hector’s leadership could laugh heartily at the fact that they could live like a country from now on.
however.
Only Edwin Hector was different.
He stared at the scene colored with happiness with a complex expression.
‘Alternatively, what kind of existence is Roman Dmitri?’
I really didn’t understand.
Dmitri had a lot of work ahead of him, but he said he would gladly share Hector’s burden.
In fact, the fight against the Valhalla Empire could not simply be said to be an expression of loyalty for Dmitri.
Hector was just desperate to survive, but Roman Dmitri embellished that fact.
Roman Dmitry.
It was a mutation.
Born as the heir to a baron family, he destroyed the empire and made absurd remarks about invading the Pandemonium at an international conference.
Even though they knew it was nonsense, people agreed with it.
Rather than being sure of Roman Dmitri’s victory, I believed in what Roman Dmitri had shown and followed it.
look at this situation
Dmitri did not allow Hector to collapse.
He willingly extended his hand and said that he hoped that Dmitri would be his partner in the brilliant future.
I bit my lip.
Emotions surged.
Meantime.
It was really, really hard.
Born as the heir to a crumbling kingdom, Edwin Hector had to face the cruelty of reality from a young age.
I couldn’t smoke anything like childishness.
However, for the first time, the fact that a being who fully shouldered Hector’s burden had appeared, so he wanted to be honest with his feelings for today.
that day.
Edwin Hector passed the day helplessly.
It was a time when I didn’t do anything and didn’t think about the future at all, but I’ve never had a more comfortable time than that day.
It was a relaxing feeling after a long time.
Completely reorganized physically and mentally, Edwin Hector received unexpected news shortly after returning to work.
“Prince! We have obtained information that Dmitri’s empress is looking for a marriage partner for Rodwell Dmitri. Madam Ddu from each country have already started moving to occupy him.”
That moment.
Edwin Hector stopped all business.
Rodwell Dmitry.
The in-law relationship with the Dmitri family was a great opportunity that he did not want to miss.
* * *
This day.
It ran into difficulties from the start.
He wanted to promote his marriage to Rodwell Dmitri, but the problem was that Hector had no suitable partner.
the leadership said.
“… Prince. I understand the prince’s will, but in a situation where madams from all over the world have moved, a daughter from an ordinary aristocratic family will never be able to appease Rodwell Dmitri’s heart. Give up on this job. If you put out a half-way opponent for no reason, the appearance of Hector Kingdom will only become ridiculous.”
“I think the same.”
opinions gathered.
Everyone was in a negative situation, but Edwin Hector had a different idea.
“The world is changing. And at its center, Dmitri’s empire will lead the world. What did you guys think as you listened to the message from Dmitri’s envoy this time?”
“I thought thank you. Dmitri did not forget Hector’s devotion.”
“Yes. That is the bowl of His Majesty Emperor Dmitry. Dmitri never forgets the hard work and dedication of those who follow him. And it’s not just a matter of thinking. Kronos and Valhalla. The reason why they persecuted other countries even though they held great power is because they know that if they open their pores to other countries, they will grow that much. Even if they are looking in the same direction, if they are of different nationalities, they are strangers. It is not easy to maintain such power, but His Majesty Emperor Dmitri chose to support Hector as if he did not care about such a fact.”
The bowl was different.
Roman Dmitry did not consider the problems that other countries developed as they grew.
“In fact, my thoughts are no different from His Majesty Emperor Dmitry. No matter how much other countries except Dmitri grow, as long as His Majesty Emperor Dmitri is holding on, they will never be able to cross over Dmitri’s territory. The same goes for Rodwell Dimitri’s problem. Rodwell Dmitri’s permission to leave for Arcadia means that he doesn’t mind the formation of a clan like himself. Then I will ask you If you marry Dmitri as an in-law, what effect do you think will have on Hector’s future?”
“… It will be of great benefit.”
“But there is no one to speak of in Hector, is there?”
The conclusion was the same.
Although he agreed with Edwin Hector’s will, there was no woman in Hector’s royal family that could be chosen as a marriage partner.
so that.
A change of thinking was needed.
Edwin Hector said.
“A marriage of convenience is a battle of justification. If a suitable partner does not exist, it is enough for us to invent an ideal being that the other person wants.”
* * *
Back to the present.
Seeing the gaze focused on the word collateral, Edwin Hector continued with an expression that was not shaken in the slightest.
“In fact, until recently Catherine did not know that she was Hector’s descendant. I came to know about Catherine’s existence by chance, and I accepted her as a family because of how she lived without losing herself even in a difficult environment.”
It was false.
Hector’s intelligence department spent a really hectic time trying to find someone from among Hector’s collaborators who met the conditions.
Thanks to that, he was able to find Catherine Hector in just one day.
It was an ambiguous relationship to call it blood across the mother’s side, but as soon as he confirmed her, Edwin Hector was convinced.
If it’s Catherine.
Rodwell can take over Dimitri’s heart.
“I won’t bother commenting on Catherine’s appearance. Regardless of how pretty she is, she was a child living alone with her father in a barren environment. If necessary, he did not hesitate to do two or three jobs a day, and he was strong enough to do even the most strenuous work. As far as I know, I heard that Rodwell Dmitri is leaving for Arcadia soon. People call it the land of opportunity, but I don’t think it’s easy to start anew in a land that has been covered in snow for ages. Katherine is a child who will take good care of Rodwell Dmitri so that there is no problem there.”
everyone in this place.
I didn’t think I had met Katherine by chance.
However, what matters now is not the reason for accepting the collateral as a family, but what Catherine Hector was like.
‘Catherine is a beautiful child. I intentionally searched for her existence, but even if this marriage goes awry, she is a child who is bright and radiant enough to accept her as a member of the Hector family. That’s why Rihanna and Dmitri can’t help but be shaken.’
this marriage.
Rihanna needed to focus on Dmitri’s purpose.
The reason why she rushed to get married even while calling people came from worrying about her son.
Think about it.
Rihanna Dmitri can feel relieved when she has to start a new life in a barren land from now on, and the women who are like flowers in a greenhouse stand by her side.
Rodwell Dmitry lost an eye due to the war and after this war was seriously injured to the extent that he wandered between life and death for a while. If you want such
a son to be safe, you will want a wise and strong woman who will protect your son in any environment.
Catherine Hector.
It fit him perfectly.
A pretty appearance is one of the conditions that make her shine, but the other factors alone made her a bright enough child.
“Actually, I can’t force Catherine to marry this time, just letting go of the middle bridge. The Catherine I experienced and Rodwell Dmitri. I came here with the hope that the two of us will meet and create a good future because I think they have enough charm to be attracted to each other.”
That moment.
Madam Ddu was convinced.
of everyone in this room.
As can be seen from Rihanna Demitri’s twinkling eyes, Edwin Hector was the only one who captured her sincerity.
* * *
Seats are closed.
Even after Edwin Hector, Madame Tudel introduced attractive women one after another, but Rihanna Demitri was already inclined to Catherine Hector.
He was a strong child.
No matter what problems arise in the barren environment of Arcadia, he thought that with such a person, he could overcome them.
onetime.
Like Romero Dmitri, who was just a commoner, in his past, who overcame all kinds of adversity.
There was no reason to waste any more time.
Rihanna Dmitri went straight to Rodwell Dmitri.
widely.
“These are the women I picked out. They are all so pretty and have their own charm. Take a good look and if there is any woman you like, tell me.”
“… mother.”
“Rodwell. I don’t want to force you to marry either. However, in the various situations that happen to you, the son I really love lost an eye, and this time his life was almost in danger. Do you know how earnestly I prayed to God while you lay unconscious in the hospital bed? If you want to live the life you want in the future, at least accept this mother’s sincere heart.”
she too
This situation was uncomfortable.
There was a precedent of Roman Dmitry, who pushed for an arranged marriage and then went wrong, so he did not want to intervene in the marriage of his children as much as possible.
But mothers are all the same.
As he stared at Rodwell Dmitri and burned himself, it seemed that he would never feel safe unless he had a wise woman by his side.
Son will be leaving soon.
During her life in Arcadia, she hoped that at least she would have someone by her side who would think of Rodwell Dmitri as she did.
Silence fell.
Rodwell Dmitry looked at the roster with mixed eyes.
I understood my mother’s heart.
He must be working so hard because he sincerely cares about himself, and in fact, if he had no other thoughts, he might have followed his mother’s wishes.
But there was a reason he couldn’t do that.
I didn’t want to reveal it as much as possible, but I couldn’t hide the truth any longer in order to convince my mother, who had a hardline attitude.
I swallowed several times.
After hesitating for a while, Rodwell Dmitri spat out the words with difficulty.
“… mother. In fact, there is a woman I have a crush on.”
“Is that true?”
I was startled.
I thought Rodwell Dmitri was such a wooden kid and had no interest in girls at all.
So, feeling frustrated, she, the mother, made the move herself, but she did not expect such an answer to come.
however.
For a moment, I felt ominous.
Rihanna Dmitri cautiously asked Rodwell Dmitri, who was speechless.
“So can you tell me who it is?”
The mother and child knew the truth.
in this situation.
That there was only one name he couldn’t mention.
Rodwell Dmitri said, looking straight into his mother’s eyes, as if he had finally made up his mind.
“This is Flora Lawrence. And you already know my true feelings about this.”
really.
It was a matter that required a lot of discussion.
The starting point is the war with the Kronos Empire.
I had to go back to the moment when Rodwell Dmitri risked his life.
