Chapter 111.2: Flying Guardian Knight
While I was waiting in the entrance hall, looking at the portraits of the successive generations of Duke Lanct(They are a very rich and beautiful family for generations which made me wonder why the latest generation became the princess knight), a duke with soft blond hair and clear blue eyes came in.
The duke, a handsome man with a beautiful face, well-proportioned and slender features, and rich beard, is so well defined that its hard to be jealous of him. He immediately came before me and kneeled.
Silesies He..no, King General! You dont need to personally come here. If you ask for me, I will answer your summon.
The person kneeling is wearing a high-quality silk robe and has a graceful atmosphere. That surprised me, so I wasnt able to stop him from kneeling.
No, no, Duke Emehart doesnt need to do that.
I am but a mere vassal of His Excellency the King General. It is normal for a subject to do this.
I thought Kato-san should be responding normally but when I saw him, he was also kneeling.
Well, I guess I should deal with it like the monarch I am.
His response is completely different from our previous meeting that Im surprised.
I even feel refreshed by the quick change of Duke Lanct. Of course, he has to do this since this is the only way he can maintain a rich duchy sandwiched between the empire and the kingdom.
Or maybe its the fact that he bows his head that they are free. This man is much stronger than the intuitive Eleonora.
The way Duke Emehart behaved himself after the defeat of the Germania Empire was so skillful that I would like to follow his example.New novel chapters are published on
Emperor Fistnut is a joke title but.in the imperial capital, there are slaves who are traditionally called fistmen. I dont like it because of its barbaric custom but the people of the imperial capital like to have their slaves fight in a fistfight (boxing) at the colosseum.
I see. They are still practicing the ancient roman gladiatorial pastime these days.
I think its better to have them fight with fist than to kill each other with swords but they are slaves. It would probably turn into a death game when things get exciting anyway.
A fist fighter is a slave who is used to beat each other up. Dyson, who claims to have received concession from the old emperor after capturing him, calls himself an emperor who has risen from a fist.
They are doomed.
History has taught us that even in ancient Rome, there were gladiator rebellions but they were suppressed because gladiators couldnt become kings.
This is the age when a gladiator slave can become an emperor. Its not a matter of subversion. This is basically the end of the country.
At the end of the Battle of Silesie, they created a unit of criminals released from prison and fistmen who had been slaves to be used in defense of the thinly secured empire but that was the beginning of a mistake.
I see, thats a common story. I can already see what happened after that. I guess the criminals and fistmen revolted.
Thats right, Duke Emehart said as he nodded.
It is said that the citizens, slaves, and criminals rose up. In addition, there are the peasant rebels from the provinces. They succeeded in overthrowing the regular army of the imperial capital which is now in a state of disorder.
And the remnants of the imperial army, which must also contend with the coalition of the three kingdoms or Rastor, Trania, and Gartland, which have defected from the empire, and the Kingdom of Roland in the south, which is attacking to recover its former territory, no longer has the strength left to suppress the rebellion that is frequently occurring in the country.
The former imperial forces, which have pulled back from the imperial capital, are said to have retreated to the Fortress City of Damburg, northwest of the imperial capital. They are aiming for a comeback.
