Two-way (4)
The True Demon War.
Those days when blood and slaughter raged every day.
Baek Jung-hyeok, who had slaughtered all the masters of the faction that rushed in like a wave, saw a horse drenched in blood.
" Whoops, whoops."
Gwangma exhaled hard.
There was something wrong with the lungs, the sound of breathing was not stable, and things that could not tell whether it was your own blood or the blood of the enemy continued to flow down the face.
Gwangma wiped the blood with his sleeve.
The body, which had lost its strength, staggered over and over again, but with the eyes of an animal alive, he pierced the corpses of the political parties with swords one by one.
"Uh-huh!"
some of them
There were survivors.
Only after completely blocking any unknown variables, Gwangma knelt down on one knee and showed a troubled face.
"Are you okay?"
" Fine.
Gwangma straightened his posture.
Baek Joong-hyuk only asked about his physical condition, but Kwang-ma tried to show his undisturbed appearance as much as possible.
Pain rushed all over my body.
No matter how much she possesses superhuman recovery abilities, she had to clench her teeth in order to catch the spirit that was drifting away from time to time.
Indeed.
I thought it was sad.
The child, who had nothing, could have lived a slightly more ordinary life if he hadn't met him.
Baek Jung-hyuk said.
"The life of an unmanned man cannot be peaceful until the day he dies. You can exist as a human at the borderline of death only if you constantly test yourself and work hard to live. Do you not regret your choice to follow me?"
"I have no regrets."
"Following the chains of fate, we set out to conquer Moorim. If no one rises to the top, the scheming that threatens each other's lives will not stop, and I have a duty to fight for my followers as the head of the Cheonma Shintoism. but you are not If you say you will return to your daily life even now, I will prepare everything for you. I will erase the past so that no one can touch you, with enough gold and silver treasures to live on for the rest of my life, a home that will make you comfortable, and no one else to touch you."
saw the light
People say he's crazy, but in Baek's eyes, it still overlaps with the day we first met.
The brilliance at that time.
There was no choice.
All he had to do was follow Baek Joong-hyeok, and he was called Gwangma because he struggled every day.
Gwangma shook her head.
"As the master said, I may not have any obligations. However, the cause of the True Majesty War and the interests involved in the process are of no importance to me. in the abyss of despair. The master was the only hope that gave me a hand. That's it. I only do what my master wants, and if they threaten my master, I will fight with their lives."
smiled brightly.
The blood-stained teeth showed the current state of the light horse.
"Do not forsake me. The fact that the master believes in me alone makes me want to keep my side for the rest of my life."
then.
Baek Joong-hyuk thought.
people who believe in themselves.
Just as they show their blind faith toward themselves, so will they show their commensurate faith.
The possibility that there might be a betrayal at the end didn't matter.
Because the present is important.
In the life of a man who never knew when he would die, Baek Jung-hyuk was faithful to what he saw and felt.
That was it.
Baek Jung-hyuk.
No, Roman Dmitry.
Because he remembered his past life, he did not turn away from the sincerity of those who believed in him.

Hans returned home.
small space.
It was a place where only one person could barely live.
In fact, the Dmitrys had promised Hans more space over and over again, but Hans showed an attitude that he didn't need it.
It may be a space that seems narrow and shabby to others.
However, this place, where he has been living since he first entered the Dmitry family, gave Hans peace of mind.
dump.
sat on the floor
Looking around the bedless interior, traces of Roman Dmitry were found everywhere.
A broom lying on the wall at an angle.
Roman often goes for walks in the morning, so Hans gets up earlier and sweeps the trail with a broom.
No one ordered it.
Even if there were days when Roman would skip a walk for other work, he always kept the trail neatly organized in case of any unforeseen circumstances.
And when I returned to the dorm, I took the things in the cabinet next to the broom.
A towel if Roman sweats a lot, or something related to him if you want a shower. Things that had nothing to do with me filled the closet.
A blanket was laid on the floor.
Her body did not accept the soft bed, and there was a calendar by her bedside that arranged Roman's schedule.
'Tomorrow is the day of the regular meeting.'
Roman's schedule.
recorded everything.
On the day of the meeting, I gathered the materials and took the colonel, thinking that ink and paper might have run out in the office, so I grabbed some supplies.
Then, I checked the current status of the people attending the meeting to see if there were any unexpected changes.
It's the details that Roman wouldn't recognize if nothing changed, but Hans tried to manage everything so that Roman didn't feel any discomfort.
Hans' successor.
Murphy had a reason to sing.
At first, I thought that I could simply do chores, but than I thought, Hans had no time to catch his breath during the day.
stand tall.
eyes stopped.
Bingly, he smiled.
It was an old toy.
As a child, Roman once gave the most cherished toy to Hans, who takes care of him every day.
You probably won't remember.
The children of the nobility had many toys, and this was only one of them.
However.
Hans never forgot that moment.
" young master.
Dmitry's sore finger.
Roman's childhood was heartbreaking.
Baron Romero is not a man of great greed for power, but when he was a commoner, he worked day and night to overcome the limits of his status.
He didn't have time to take care of his one and only son.
Daily trips to and from the iron mines, the blacksmiths, and the trading partners were repeated, and Rihanna had a hectic day to take care of Baron Romero.
Roman naturally lost interest.
They said that they did their best, but at an age that needed attention, Roman had no choice but to learn how to live alone.
And.
became a noble
Baron Romero gave many gifts for his son, whom he had not been able to take care of, but it was after Roman Dmitry was perverted.
power and money. It became the basis for departure.
A child who lived on the borderline between commoners and aristocrats drank alcohol to fill a hole in his chest and expressed his presence by raising his voice.
Hans knew that.
He was also in the position of raising a son, so he took care of Roman no matter how stupid he was.
Even if people criticize Roman.
Hans could never forget Roman, who gave him a toy and smiled broadly.
" ugh."
dripping, dripping.
Tears flowed.
Crying, emotions came up.
he is a servant
Normal nobles disdain the existence of servants, so I thought that it would be really happy for Roman to remember his hard work.
It was overkill.
When I listened to the stories of the servants of other families, there were a lot of cases where they didn't recognize me like Roman Dmitry did, and even turned on their eyes when they made a small mistake.
By the way.
Roman spoke the truth today.
He mentioned the fact that he is not just a giver, but a being who can get back as much as he gives.
"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."
The tears didn't stop.
servant.
Birth is humble
It is a fact that everyone knows, and it is a reality that everyone cannot deny.
such existence.
Roman treated him person to person.
Hans couldn't stop crying at the fact that there was a day when he would get the feelings he had blindly spread because he could not possibly get it back.
The carriage that took him there, the guards of Adelian who escorted him, the baptism of gifts from nobles in the northeast, and a letter of recommendation for admission to the Glory Academy for his granddaughter.
What happened to you doesn't matter.
emotions in it.
The fact that Roman Dmitry recognized his true feelings, Hans' feelings he had been holding back exploded.
It wasn't sad at all.
It's not really sad, but I couldn't hold back my tears.
I cried.
A servant who usually held his breath in case he could hear it outside.
He didn't care what other people looked at, and poured out his emotions.
That day, until late at night.
Hans couldn't sleep.
And by the orders of Roman Dmitry, no one interrupted Hans' long night.
* * *
birthday party event.
Rumors spread.
Although it was not intentional, the events of that day proved again how much Roman Dmitry loved people.
Phoenix Tower.
Leaders gathered for the meeting mentioned the birthday party incident.
" Really, I don't know how to express this. When I first set foot in Dmitry, I was very dissatisfied with the actions of the Lord Matap. Why did they come to this remote territory to make money, no matter how bad the status of the Phoenix Horse Tower is, it's not like this. But looking at what's been happening lately, I can't help but feel that I lacked insight."
It was Knox.
In the eyes looking at him, he spoke his honest feelings.
"Roman Dmitry. Our new lord has done a lot for the Phoenix Horse Tower. They took care of the migration process carefully, allocated a large budget, and provided a site for the horse tower for the future. We haven't done anything for you yet. Very snobbish, I thought maybe it was an investment for something that would get me back in the future. Wasn't the Frankish kingdom the same? They acted as if they were going to remove the liver and gallbladder from us, but as soon as Master Matap went missing, they treated us as useless garbage that only sucked our money."
negative view.
from the pain of the past.
The man in his 50s, who thought that every favor had a purpose, felt like he had been hit in the head when he heard of a birthday party incident.
"Roman Dmitry is different. The eldest son of a noble family cannot benefit from a servant. As cruel as it may be, the lord throws a grand party for Hans just because he is his man. Seriously or not, it doesn't matter. At least he is a person who works hard for his own people. For that alone, we are worthy of our lord."
last 3 years.
The Phoenix Horse Tower was scorched from the inside out.
Ma Thap disappeared, Felix was lacking as an agent, and there was no hope for Phoenix's future.
Everything has changed.
Since arriving in Dmitry, Knox has never been so happy.
"Lord of the tower. I'm really sorry for that."
so far.
Knox called Felix by name.
He gave me an honorific title, but I didn't call him Ma Thapju.
"Lord Matthew's eyesight was right. The Lord of the Towers led the crumbling Phoenix Tower on the right path, and we eventually found the way forward. From now on, I will completely follow the Lord Matthew. In the future, I want to become a person trusted by the Lord Matthew and the Lord. so. Forget the mistakes of the past, and lead me and the wizards well in the future."
bowed his head.
Knox is the center of wizards.
The oath of allegiance he uttered meant that the Phoenix Tower was completely under Felix's control.
Felix laughed.
Knox's actions.
I could understand enough.
Knowing that he was also thinking of Phoenix, Felix accepted his heart.
I know. Here in Dmitry, we will live a different life than before."
that day.
The Phoenix Horse Tower is united.
People have asserted that there is no future for Phoenix, but they have a center that has never been there before.
Under the name Roman Dmitry.
In that way, the Phoenix Horse Tower began to regain its original shape.

Time has passed.
1 year later.
Finally, the moment Roman foretold has arrived.
