Fall of Kronos (5)

It was as expected.

People of the Marquis of Memphis.

If the Marquis of Memphis had been executed, they would have accepted the reality, but gathered secretly in a secret room out of the sight of others.

" What do you all think about this?"

Close friend of the Marquis of Memphis.

Count Carrasco asked with a hard face.

As everyone remained silent with gloomy faces, he continued.

"The Marquis of Memphis is still alive. If we rescue him and ignite the rebellion, we will have the strength to fight Roman Dmitry. Of course, I know that this is a very difficult situation. Roman Dmitry could not be defeated even when the Empire's power was strong, but if you resist with the few remaining troops, your chances of winning will be slim. But can't we just watch the Marquis of Memphis die like this?

Yes. Besides, we all know that we were the people of the Marquis of Memphis. The change of government means that even if you survive, you will not be able to live like a human being."

their worries.

came from power.

In Roman Dmitry's system, they cannot live in power.

If the fact that he was a man of the Marquis of Memphis was a strong background, it was clear that he would follow him like a tag in the future.

Because of that fact, they had no choice but to gather in a secret room.

The single fact that the Marquis of Memphis was still alive made the reality unacceptable for them.

Count Carrasco said.

a few days ago. I have received a call from Earl Snowdin of Valhalla. If any plans were to be devised, Valhalla expressed her willingness to fully assist. From now on, it's a matter of choice. If we want our rights back, we'll rescue the Marquis, and if we're willing to accept a new reality, we'll see the Marquis die like this. I will follow your opinions."

that also.

I wasn't sure.

I'm in a situation where I'm worried about which choice is the right one, so I tried to hear everyone's opinions.

OK.

said one person.

"It's all good. If we rescue the Marquis of Memphis and receive the support of Earl Snowdin, we can certainly lay the groundwork for another war. But what does that mean? Roman Dmitry is the one who blew up a wall with multiple layers of magic defenses in one blow. Even Alexander, who uses the magic of the 9th circle, could not handle Roman Dmitry and had already crossed the river of death. But Count Snowdin? How would you deal with a person who couldn't properly control Valhalla?"

All of them.

I found out the truth.

The moment they cross the line, those who are classified as traitors will be judged by Roman Dmitry.

"Roman Dmitry is not just a man of power. While Emperor Cronus did not kill publicly, the Marquis of Memphis put it on display. Perhaps Roman Dmitry is hoping for a precedent. If anyone crosses the line. It will show strong punishment for those who break the law that I emphasized in my last speech."

" Still, the Marquis of Memphis is our benefactor. We cannot just watch him die."

"Count Carrasco."

met their gazes.

If Count Carrasco was his best friend, the nobleman now speaking was a cousin of the Memphis family.

"I am of the Memphis family. Do you know why I am making this statement? Because if we accept the reality, we can survive even though we may not enjoy the glory of wealth. At least Roman Dmitry made it clear in his speech at the execution table that he would give him a new chance. and.

messed it up

I didn't want to say it because it looked shabby, but I had to say it to convince everyone.

"I don't want to fight a monster like Roman Dmitry anymore. Now I am too afraid to look at him."

* * *

that time.

There was a man in front of the execution table.

The man with a rather young-looking face could not hide his youthful eyes as he looked at the Marquis of Memphis.

"The Marquis of Memphis. It looks good."

you ?"

in an unfamiliar voice.

The Marquis of Memphis raised his head.

He had been hanging for days, blurring his vision and deafening his ears, but he recognized who he was at once.

"Hey, you're the son of the Marquis of Creut. In the process of annihilating the Creut family, one of my sons ran away, but to appear before me alive like this. life is really fun So, are you planning to take revenge on me?"

As he said.

The Creut family was on the verge of extinction.

Fortunately, the members of the Creut family rescued the youngest, Jo Welson, and all but one died.

Joelson has dreamed of a situation like today every day.

By brutally killing the Marquis of Memphis, he vowed and vowed to take revenge on his family who loved and cared for him.

and.

The opportunity has come.

The moment the dagger pierces the Marquis of Memphis's abdomen, his fragile flesh rips open and blood bursts out.

It was the moment I truly wanted.

But from his mouth, completely different words came out.

no. I am not going to kill you."

"You don't kill me. I killed your father. I stabbed him in the stomach just because he protested against me, and I killed your mother, your sister, and everyone in the Creut family. But you won't take revenge on me? Joelson! kill me! I, the enemy of your family, have survived like this, so you won't cause me any pain? Come on, get the revenge you've been longing for!

exclaimed the Marquis of Memphis.

There was no way to live.

Knowing what Roman Dmitry wanted, he hoped to be quickly freed from this suffering.

Suicide was impossible.

I had bitten my tongue once, and a wizard came and used a healing magic that reattached the tongue.

Roman Dmitry's intentions were clear.

Dying by others is permitted, but self-death is not acceptable.

This.

It was an opportunity.

Seeing that he was about to die, Jowelson showed a smile that was glistening with madness.

"That's why I'm not going to kill you. look at you You, who is the most powerful person in Kronos, are asking you to end your life with an ugly face. Why the hell do I have to do your favor?"

Looking at the Marquis of Memphis.

thought over and over again.

No matter what the opponent wanted, I kept thinking that killing myself was the real revenge.

But by his side.

There were wise people.

Those who followed the Creuts told him that his life was not over yet.

"I will re-establish the Kreut family. In order to do that, you will have to accept the new trend. I am truly grateful that Roman Dmitry is the new owner of this land. At least he won't reject me because I'm from Kronos. And even if I don't get blood on my hands, I'm sure I'll give you a hellish death.

closely.

clenched his fist

I clenched it so tightly that my fingernails pierced my skin and blood gushed out.

"No one, including me, will break the new law. The era of Kronos is over, and we now know what to value. Marquis of Memphis. Today is the last time I come to see you. The next time I come to this place, it will be to see your already dead body in my eyes."

at the end of that word.

took a step back

Seeing the distance away, the Marquis of Memphis exclaimed urgently.

Oh, no! kill me! please kill me! Joelson! I mean, take revenge on the family with your own hands!"

was upset

shouted against evil.

He shouted so much that his throat broke, but Jowelson never looked back until he was completely out of sight.

* * *

The sun was hot.

I don't know how many days have passed.

With a hazy mind, the Marquis of Memphis looked at the rising sun in the midst of a bewildered look.

'Where the hell did it go wrong?'

last few days.

Many people came and went here.

There were people who made themselves a spectacle, and others looked at them with furious eyes like Joelson.

But no one touched him directly.

Roman Dmitry's rules were absolute, and he didn't dare cross the line, knowing what the cost of breaking them would be.

and.

No one from the Memphis family came.

At first, he thought he might save himself even at the risk, but now he realizes that it is a futile delusion.

It was truly a miserable life.

When he was living in power, he thought his life was perfect, but looking back now, there was no one he could truly trust.

if.

If you could turn back time.

Could it be possible to change the grim reality?

'It would be impossible. In the past, I would have made the same choices over and over again. Alexander and Emperor Cronus were all that made me who I am today. He would never have thought that an unknown heir from the outskirts would destroy the Kronos Empire.'

no one in the past.

This reality was unexpected.

Roman Dmitry was a mutant, and his existence is still inexplicable.

His mistake was not the past years he had been living for Kronos, but rather being overly loyal, unaware that this would ever happen.

Because I thought Kronos was everything in this world.

It never occurred to me that a person like Roman Dmitry could turn the game upside down.

gasped for breath.

Consciousness blurred.

The last thing that came into his sight was a scruffy, wretched boy looking at this place as if he were watching a monkey.

like that.

dump.

The Marquis of Memphis shook his head.

* * *

" The Marquis of Memphis is dead."

it was chris

only ten days.

Upon reporting that he had died in ten days, Roman Dmitry turned his gaze away from the material he was looking at.

"A sign?"

"It was not murder, but death."

"It means no one touched the Marquis of Memphis."

Yes.

It was as intended.

Marquis of Memphis.

Executing him was not simple.

It meant the symbolism that established the relationship between Roman Dmitry and the people of the Kronos Empire in the future, and knowing that fact, no one touched the Marquis of Memphis.

Even though he lost his family and lost many things.

To protest Roman Dmitry gave greater fear than seething rage.

Roman Dmitry said.

"With this, the people of Kronos fully accepted the existence of the nation. Watching the Marquis of Memphis die, they must have admitted that the Kronos Empire could never be the same. From now on, we will proceed as planned. Gather the heads of the Kingdom Union. And in this convocation order."

I looked down on the table.

There were data analyzing Valhalla.

"It will also include the Valhalla Empire."

* * *

draft call.

That fact has been communicated.

When Roman Dmitry summoned Valhalla, the followers of Count Snowdin showed signs of anger.

"This is nonsense! Even if Dmitry defeated the Kronos Empire, they were still just a kingdom. But you dare to summon the empire. The moment you accept this request, the Valhalla Empire is over."

"I agree. If the Valhalla Empire bows its head, it is acknowledgment of them."

Everyone's day has come

kingdoms and empires.

In hierarchical terms, the Valhalla Empire was clearly above.

Even if it was to summon Dmitry under the leadership of the Valhalla Empire, it was not good to be called out to the place Dmitry had arranged.

Of course, he was not unaware that Dmitry had laid the groundwork for his leap into the Empire.

But with pride as an empire, he could not accept this situation at all.

Count Snowdin said.

"Roman Dmitry's intentions are clear. By taking the lead in determining the future of the continent, he is probably trying to redefine the relationship between Valhalla and Dmitry. We will not compromise with them. Even if they didn't attend the event they led, Valhalla declared a truce anyway, and Dmitry lost his justification for continuing the war. Of course, you will be penalized for this. But if Dmitry doesn't do what he wants, at least we can preserve the identity of the Empire.

all right.

"I will follow your orders."

It was a real dilemma.

Not yet.

I wasn't ready to bow my head.

It was true that the war had been lost, but the fact that Dmitry was above Valhalla was unacceptable.

However.

" I'm sorry, but can I say something?

on the other side of the conference room.

The communicator seemed to be in trouble.

When everyone's attention was focused, he spoke carefully with a really tough face.

"There is something Dmitry emphasized in this communication. This convening is an order, not a request, and if it is not accepted, it will be accepted as a protest."

protest.

on that word.

People's faces were horribly distorted.
