‘also.’
Otto realized that his judgment was correct when he saw that Count Roshen understood the horse like a ghost.
‘Anyway, one notice is fast. good head too It’s because I used that good brain to corrupt.’
Count Roschen was a person of a similar type to Otto and Ego.
A person who is quick-witted, clever, has good judgment, knows where to lie like a ghost, and is very extraordinary in the flow of money.
“majesty.”
Count Roshen asked Otto.
“Since you asked me to die, I’m willing to die, but I want to know why.”
“You’re not asking because you don’t know that.”
“Kuh, keuhum!”
Count Roschen blushed as if embarrassed.
“Yeah, when you make bread, you get flour on your hands… … .”
“If you bury the flour ten times, I’ll rob the country’s barn, very.”
“… … .”
“If we were like the guy from Iota Kingdom, we would have executed him in public in the middle of the capital.”
When Otto said that, Count Roshen trembled.
‘Sue, it’s to the point where I can’t breathe. Keugh.’
There was one thing that Otto and the people around him were not aware of, and that was the feeling of intimidation and pressure radiating from their bodies.
Before he knew it, Otto was naturally emitting demonic power that overwhelms others.
As the level of swordsmanship increased and the power of the invincible emperor increased, he was already in the realm of superhumans.
It’s just that the people around Otto are so gira-seong-like, I just didn’t recognize it well.
“Did you ask why King Kvar had to seize the throne?”
“No, that’s right.”
Count Roschen knew all too well why he had to die.
He was a symbol of corruption, so I knew that he was unintentionally serving as a shield for other local nobles.
However, he had doubts about why Kvar had to seize the kingship.
Although the country has severe corruption, it is not to the extent that it will not roll, and from the position of the king, is there a need to urgently strengthen the royal authority by overdoing it? I had a thought.
“The Northern Empire is planning to invade.”
“Boo, Northern Empire… … !”
Count Roshen was greatly surprised.
‘You’d be surprised. Kieu Kingdom has been burned a few times.’
The Northern Empire has historically rarely invaded the continent.
However, there were a few times, and that was an invasion of Kieu Kingdom.
Although each time ended in failure.
So, the people of Kieu Kingdom were very sensitive to the Northern Empire.
Whenever the Northern Empire invaded every 100 to 200 years, more than half of the country would become a wasteland, so it was inevitable to be more wary of the Northern Empire than other countries on the continent.
“Boo, are you saying that the Northern Empire is planning to invade? also?”
“That’s right. King Kvar is trying to stop that. with us.”
“Such a thing!”
“That’s why we have to strengthen the royal authority and raise the military power to prepare for war.”
“I will help too.”
Count Roshen said coldly.
‘also.’
Otto nodded his head inwardly as if he knew that.
Although Count Roshen was a dignified duck, he was a person with the duality of being a patriot.
Knowing that the Northern Empire was about to invade, he was planning to fully support Kvar.
Even if you generously release personal property that has been embezzled through corruption.
Even while other nobles fled abroad, he remained by Kvar’s side to conduct and command the war.
“great.”
Otto smiled.
“But… … .”
“yes?”
“The reason why you want to contribute to the invasion of the Northern Empire is… … Isn’t that because all of your personal assets are in Korea?”
“Oh no! Absolutely not!”
Count Roschen waved his hand desperately.
“It is absolutely not because most of them are domestic assets that are difficult to dispose of!”
“… … That’s right.”
Otto shook his head as if he knew that.
‘It was all about money that I was a patriot. You terrible human being.’
Of course, it was half a joke.
If it was really for money, Count Roshen would be normal if he stayed with the Northern Empire, not the Kingdom of Kieu.
It was right to protect his assets, but at least he was a person who wasn’t corrupted enough to commit treason.
“If you give your strength this time, we will wash your image later when a war breaks out.”
“Is that true?”
“Through the Ego Merchant Company, we will also help you business-wise so that you can run state-owned enterprises in Kiiu Kingdom, so please actively cooperate.”
“Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty!!!”
Count Roschen was ready to lick Otto’s toe right away.
Hey, from Count Roshen’s point of view, there was no greater consolation than this.
It was not enough to bypass the purge, but it was guaranteed to be rich and prestigious after the war, so it was a good deal, but there was nothing bad about it.
“I hope to go along well! Highness Otto! Loyalty Loyalty Loyalty!”
“… … Loyalty goes only to Kvar.”
Otto was dumbfounded.
* * *
one week after that.
“Arrest Count Roschen!”
“Everyone surrender! Those who resist will be judged for treason!”
The Kieu Kingdom army crashed into Count Roshen’s mansion.
Quaang!
Whoops!
The gigantic gargoyle, Goliath, even destroyed a third of Count Roshen’s mansion.
“I, Kvar, the King of Kieu Kingdom… … .”
Kvar, who went directly to subjugate the corrupt duck, executed Count Roschen on the spot while the royal knights watched.
The king himself made a bold decision to cut down Kvar, a corrupt aristocrat and powerful figure in the central political world.
“Oh oh!”
“His Highness the King has punished the greedy nobleman!”
“The Kiiwu royal family has a good reputation!”
The people praised Kvar and cheered for the reign of the new king.
Count Roshen was also a very famous figure for corruption.
Of course, the dead Count Roshen was just a fake.
“I-they hated me that much?!”
The real Count Roshen, who was watching from afar, wrinkled his face.
The feeling of watching one’s own death is a very complex and subtle thing, and I was shocked to see everyone cheering in the midst of it.
“I didn’t know you would hate me this much… … big.”
In fact, as Count Roshen, there was an unfair side.
Although he was a symbol of corruption, he had never committed an evil act worthy of being hated by the people.
Of course, committing corruption as a nobleman was enough reason to be hated, and he deserved to die.
“That’s why you live a good life.”
“It’s black and white.”
“If you know what you are doing wrong, just stop corruption and do business honestly from now on. You’re an aristocrat, so don’t think about making money through expedient methods.”
“All right… … .”
Tears flowed from Count Roshen’s eyes.
“You will make up for it anyway. If you show us that you are active in time for the invasion of the Northern Empire.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
Count Roshen opened his eyes wide and clenched his fists.
“This Roshen, I will definitely restore your honor!”
“great.”
Otto smiled at Count Roschen.
‘Maybe it worked out better?’
Earl Roshen watched from a third person’s point of view how the people accepted his death, and was greatly shocked.
With that as an opportunity, he decided to awaken and restore his honor, so it was clear that he would fight even harder for the kingdom of Kieu in the future.
He was a person who would have been like that originally, but this incident made him more enlightened.
“Then, for the time being, stay next to King Kvar and help hard. I told King Kvar that Count Roshen is a true patriot, so don’t worry.”
“Yes, Your Highness. I will.”
After killing Count Roshen, Otto immediately went ahead with his next plan.
‘Now the local nobles will have seizures. The shield called Earl Roshen has disappeared. Some of them will rebel.’
A cold smile crept across Otto’s lips.
He was already well aware of how the local nobles of the Kiiu Kingdom would react, and he had prepared countermeasures accordingly.
From Otto’s point of view, the local nobles of Kieu Kingdom were just cute.
* * *
As expected by Otto, the local nobles of the Kieu Kingdom were turned upside down.
“How can I do this!”
“Even Count Roschen, who served as our shield, died, so we have no justification! To obey the king’s request, or else… … .”
“Damn it!”
After hearing the news, the local nobles of Kieu Kingdom had a meeting in a hurry.
In order to respond to this situation, it was necessary to gather opinions.
“What are you so flustered about? Isn’t that a good thing for us?”
The Duke of Foclone, who manages the estate, smiled as if it was a big deal.
“The king took care of it and gave it to us, and we should welcome it with open arms.”
The Duke of Foclone didn’t even blink an eye when he heard of Count Roschen’s death.
Rather, he relaxed to the fullest with a smile on his face.
“That shallow bastard made a big mistake. He is from a rootless clown, so of course he is. What does he know if all he has is a faint lineage?”
The Duke of Foclone said to the nobles.
“Do I have to give up my lifeline just because I’m pressuring you like this? After all, the king’s army is nothing more than a ragtag, and it’s not just gargoyles when it comes to proper combat power. If we are determined and hold on, civil war will break out, and the clown will have no choice but to surrender.”
With the death of Count Roshen, the cause passed to Kvar.
But that didn’t mean the nobles would swear allegiance to Kvar.
justification?
Sometimes strength triumphs over justification.
Even a mouse driven into a corner would bite a cat, and if the local nobles joined forces to fight against it, it would not be easy for Kvar to handle it.
“Listen, everyone. This is a top secret, but since you are comrades who share my will, I will tell you something special.”
Then the local nobles gulp! Swallowing, he paid attention to the Poklon duke.
It was because there was an expectation that if Duke Foclone, a rumored serpent and cunning fox, had said this far, he would be firm even if he believed in something.
“actually… … .”
The Duke of Foclone paused a little before opening his mouth.
“King Otto de Scuderia of Iota Kingdom sent me a secret letter.”
Then, a light of surprise flashed on the faces of the nobles.
“oh!”
“Are you saying that King Otto de Scuderia, the son of the dragon, contacted you first?”
“Ohhh!”
Currently, Otto was a person who recorded an enormous stock price on the continent.
There were so many rumors about Otto, beyond his reputation on the continent, that there were only stories that were hard to believe.
A rising power and a young king of a great power.
A person who inherits the lineage of the Kuntachi family, a family of swords and magic.
The fiancée of Elise, the Goddess of War, and the son-in-law of the Salzburg family, a renowned swordsman.
undefeated commander.
The true king of the sea.
There were even rumors that he might be a dragon with dragon lineage.
It was clear that such a great person had secretly sent a letter with some deep intention.
“King Otto de Scuderia has promised to support me. Although he made these and other requirements as prerequisites, he said that he would send the Arad Imperial Army. So, in the event of a civil war, I will dethrone that vulgar jester.”
The Duke of Poklon grinned and smiled.
“Ohhh!”
“King Otto is giving me strength!”
“Isn’t this our landslide victory? ha ha ha!”
The nobles called for joy.
It was because it was nagging to say that if Otto’s support and the Arad Empire’s army, the current world’s strongest, would help them, they would win the civil war.
