Episode 226
âThe hero of Carpe who stopped the dukedomâs invasion. Count Zervanâs coming!!â
Children with baskets of flowers scatter flowers at the head of the triumphal ceremony.
The people split on both sides waving handkerchiefs and cheering for the march of the Queenâs knight, Colius.
âKyaa, Knight! you are handsome!!â
âIt looks like a piece haaang.â
If there were women who fainted at the sight of the handsome Colius, the menâs hearts grew magnificent as they shed heated tears.
âI heard that it was all thanks to the Count that the air force bastards stopped going north?â
âItâs the Queenâs knight, so of course! If it wasnât for him, we would all be dead!â
âYeki! Not quite like that though. There are masters in the capital!â
âYou donât know what, but he single-handedly defeated 30,000 airmen, donât you know that?â
âAy, how can a man single-handedly slaughter 30,000 soldiers? Say something that makes sense!â
âEven if itâs true!â
âYes, it is true! What are you? do you want to die? Do you want to taste the Stone Fist?â
âLetâs blow it!â
âThis guy must be an Air Force spy!â
Whether there was a commotion or not, Callius led the horse as he saw the end of the triumphal road.
He was welcomed by the people and sprinkled with music and flowers, but his expression was expressionless as always.
end of the improvement ceremony.
Because there was a queen at the end.
chuck.
Having reached the end of the triumph, Colius dismounted and fell to one knee.
In a clear voice, the queen congratulates Colius, who bowed her head in front of her eyes.
âCount Calius von Zervan returned after defeating the thirty thousand air force disturbing the southern part of Carpe. Your achievement is a feat that no one else in Carpe can do.â
âItâs overrated.â
âItâs not an exaggeration. Even the gods in the sky were wary of your power, and with that power you raised the status of Carpe to the nations of the continent, so I canât help but praise you.â
also.
âInvisible hard work, and the King of Carpe, Gwa-in, will certainly praise your work..â
Invisible hard work? Not knowing what he was talking about, Callius smiled as he looked at something he had pulled out of the Queenâs arms.
âLook at the people of Carpe. This is the sword holy water made from the holy water of god Balterus!â
âOhhh!â
When the name of Balterus was mentioned, all the people gasped and prostrated themselves.
Geom Sung-soo.
It seemed that Beatrice had given her strength.
âThank you for your effort. count. Because of you, Carpe overcame another crisis.â
âI just did what I had to do.â
âThose who cannot fulfill their responsibilities are heaven and earth. So, since you help me like this, I have no choice but to give you an award.â
Seeing the queen smile, Colius smiles softly as well.
âI have a lot to say. Go inside and do it. count.â
âyes.â
The whispering queen raised Callius and shouted to the people.
âToday is the celebration of Carpe, so open the treasury and give wine and food. We will hold a banquet for Count Zervan.â
this is the kingâs name
âEveryone get drunk and rejoice.â
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
Capital of Carpe.
For three days and three nights, Kaladi cried out for his achievements and shook off all his anxiety.
* * *
A corner of the royal castle.
âCarpeâs sword. Listen to Colliers von Zervan.â
Pope Felice of the Order of Balterus appeared to Colius and recited the kingâs edict.
chuck.
âCarpe highly praises your achievements. Originally, it was natural to hand over the territory, but to you, who is already the owner of the north, further territory is unnecessary. In response, the Queen was directly below the Commander-in-Chief. I appoint you as Marshal of Carpe.â
The four great nobles cannot acquire other territories by the will of the founding king.
Queen Honey gave the title of Marshal to Colius, who had only a noble title and no title. That alone gave him military power and brought with him many different benefits.
military power.
got some kind of power.
A twinkle flashed in Coliusâ eyes.
âThanks to the sword of the hero queen who saved Carpe from danger, the country became rich and strong. However, this is only temporary, and Your Highnessâs worries are still continuing, so we want to break it down.â
âI will listen right away.â
Perhaps, given the position of marshal, it is to drive out the air force located in the south.
Either he or she must be trying to order the Air Force to launch a counterattack.
It was what I was hoping for.
The Air Forceâs invasion caused great damage to Carpe and many people died.
Because I was thinking that the dukedom should be trampled on once.
âIf the empire is in a frenzied state, this is the perfect timing to weaken the principality.â
If all of Carpeâs forces were mobilized, it might even be possible to destroy the principality.
However, it is right to win a war by minimizing damage, so it is better to attack the principality with the minimum number of troops.
The continent is still in chaos, so itâs right to be prepared.
The moment when Colius, who had already conceived of attacking the principality in his head, was about to follow the order.
Feliceâs strange voice was heard.
âYour marriage is still here.â
ââŠ?â
âYou will know the story of Ruidren. If I didnât, the blood of Ruidren, one of the four families blessed by God, would have disappeared. If you hadnât appeared just in time, Carpe would have lost all of Luidrenâs lineage forever. Queen Honey is very concerned about the descendants of the nobility.â
ââŠyes.â
Something strange is going on with the story.
Callius raises his head to see if this is true.
âCalius von Zervan. I also know that you are not married. Is it right?â
âBut IâŠâ
âSo the Queenâs concerns are great!â
I have no intention of listening.
Felice shouted loudly holding the queenâs edict, wondering what was so exciting.
âI am promoting your marriage. This is the kingâs order, and refusal is treason.â
ââŠâ
âDonât worry too much. You are the hero of Carpe. I donât intend to pair anyone up⊠I wonder who you are too?â
At Feliceâs whispered words, Callius nodded.
âKeuheum, the Queen has been struggling and thinking. Come to think of it, Her Highness is also looking for a husband because her marriage period is full, so she wants to establish a good relationship with you! Callius, listen to the Queen!!â
ââŠâ
Slurr.
Callius stood up from his seat and glared at Felice as if he were going to kill him.
âKuh hmm. Hear the kingâs name.â
Felice, who had cleared his throat, handed over the edict with the kingâs jade seal to Colius.
Looking at the words written on the silk, the queenâs handwriting is correct.
Felice was talking nonsense, but it was also roughly the same.
ââŠIs this the Queenâs will?â
âIt is the fate of those who sit on the throne. You, too, must do your duty as a nobleman.â
He said he would give him a prize, but he thought he would suddenly pursue an arranged marriage.
It just wouldnât have sounded like this.
âItâs the breath of nobles.â
âI will not deny it.â
I wondered why, but if you think about it, the answer is close.
âYou must be afraid of my power.â
âThatâs why I should have killed him in moderation. Do you know how much the nobles fear you? The appearance of a powerful general is a blessing to the country, but a protruding awl is unnecessarily worrying and scary.â
So itâs an arranged marriage.
Not only Carpe, but all countries in the past have suppressed power in this way.
It was also a natural procedure.
âI donât know if I should say this, but the queenâs beauty is hard to find anyone to match, even in Carpe. If I had to look for it, it would be about the sword saint. It is an honor to be the queenâs companion as a man. Is it not like that?â
Thatâs not wrong.
Even her eyelashes are pure white, she is like a fairy who lives in the snow.
In addition to the mysterious atmosphere, the appearance is also neat and beautiful.
She is so delicate and beautiful that any man would want to hold her in her arms.
However.
âThis is not acceptable.â
I couldnât accept
Noble on the outside, but modern on the inside.
Even though arranged marriages are a matter of course here, I am not.
furthermore.
âFor some reason.â
âWhat I have for the Queen is loyalty, not love.â
âI guess so. It must be sudden. Youâre not the daughter of another noble family, youâre the queen.â
Felice fully understood Coliusâ feelings. Even you would have been
âBut, Colliers.â
âyes.â
âIt has to be done someday. Itâs not something that can be solved just by avoiding it. Arenât you close to thirty now? Itâs too late. If thatâs what you have to do anyway, I donât think itâs too bad having the queen as your spouse.â
furthermore.
âI donât know how the Queen will see you if you refuse.â
ââŠ.â
âThat frail person took courage. Are you going to stay still as the in-house captain?â
âYouâre being forced.â
Letâs talk to the pope.
Itâs quick to meet and talk to the queen.
âWhere are you going!â
âI will speak with Your Highness.â
âYou bastard, Callius. Why do you think I came all the way here to tell you this?â
ââŠâ
âYou know, donât you? That His Highness had you in mind right away.â
His feet, which were about to head to Daejeon, stopped.
âHave you considered what would happen to His Highnessâs heart if I told you this and still go and say no?â
âWhat do you think it will be like?â
âDonât walk down the same path as me. If you miss the timing, you will regret it for the rest of your life like me. And the sorrow of a woman knows no bounds.â
Seeing Felice talking while remembering Sullivan, Colius also became a bit solemn.
âWomen are supposed to be treated with utmost sincerity like a delicate sword. If you treat a woman only by trusting her face, you wonât be able to use it.â
âI am dealing with a queen, not a woman.â
âSo are you going to refuse? His Highness said that Zervanâs blood is also important, and that if a national marriage takes place, you can take a second wife right away. Wouldnât it be perfect to have Your Highness in the capital and another wife in the north?â
It seemed that he was intending to continue the lineage of the royal family and that of Jervan.
âIâm not a stallion, so why would you do that?â
âHey! Itâs a manâs instinct to spread the seeds of Godâs grace. Maybe itâs not functioning well? Since ancient times, the lower part of a man also needs to be sharpened like a sharpened swordâŠâ
âIf you keep talking nonsense, I will go.â
Felice hurriedly grabbed Coliusâ arm and continued talking.
âHey. I mean think about it well. Most people in the world do arranged marriages. But can we really live without love? no. If you start by getting married and slowly caring for and caring for each other, you will develop love and cherish your whole life. Have a child there. The deeper you go, the deeper you will become, and you will not be neglected.â
Calliusâ eyes narrowed.
âWhy does someone who has never been married know so well?â
âBecause I regretted it. I know better than anyone.â
ââŠâ
If you say that, thereâs nothing to say.
ââŠIâm not taking good care of Emily at all.â
âChildren are not raised by taking care of them. A good father simply shows his child the way and shows his back is enough.â
Because children grow up watching the backs of adults.
âThink carefully. Wouldnât you also need a partner to go to the battlefield safely?â
âI couldnât keep it.â
âhmm? What do you mean?â
Callius silently and slowly removed Feliceâs hand.
Even though he didnât throw it away by force, the pope couldnât bear to hold his hand again because of the sudden heavy atmosphere.
âI donât have the right to embrace someone like that.â
* * *
Kingâs War.
The queen sitting on the throne did not forget her duty even though the whole country was at a banquet.
I was looking at the house that I had to look at.
A stupid and powerless cowardly king.
She even felt the appearance of a king now.
âIs Marshal Zervan here?â
âyes. Meet the Queen.â
The Queenâs eyes were unwavering as she looked at the kneeling Colius warmly.
Unlike him, of course, his face was red.
Ashamed.
âDid you worry a lot?â
âyes.â
âThen you must have brought the answer. great.â
His face was flushed red, but he seemed to be trying hard to pretend to be resolute.
Although his heart weakened a little, Carlyus made an effort to speak his mind calmly.
âThank you, but I will decline.â
Took.
One appeal fell.
ââŠfor this reason.â
âI donât want to force a marriage through an arranged marriage.â
âIt would be fine if it wasnât for that political marriage. right hmm. thatâs right. What if I am in love with the count? Itâs something you have to start doing step by step. Yes?â
The trembling hands and shaking pupils seemed to tell her how she felt.
Like a pure white rabbit who does not want to be abandoned, the queen looked at Colius anxiously and imploringly.
However, he rather calmly expressed his refusal.
âThank you, but I do not adore the Queen. Please withdraw from this.â
ââŠ!â
Tears welled up in the frozen queenâs eyes.
And as if possessed by something, he ordered the guards standing nearby.
âHello. Wow, the enemy who refused the kingâs order immediatelyâŠ!â
The queen shed tears like chicken droppings and bit her lip.
The resolution had been made in advance.
However, there are times when a king has to give orders no matter how much he hates to give them.
He openly rejected the kingâs mandate.
Nevertheless, if he does not pay any price, the nobles will entangle him even more. freŃwebnoŃ”el.com
So, with a sniffle, Clara shouted at the guards.
âLet me go to the houseâŠ.â
