The Battle for Dmitry (3)

Right after the international conference was over.

At that time when the Kingdom of Hector was in a hurry to settle the aftermath of the war,Dmitry sent an envoy.

I will now inform you of His Majesty Emperor Dmitry's intentions. In this war, the Kingdom of Hector endured to the end against the Valhalla Empire and led the continental war to victory. If it wasn't for Hector's tenacious struggle, the southern front would have been breached and the continental war would have gone in a completely different direction. Emperor Dmitry acknowledges Hector's merits, and Dmitry will bear the cost of repairing the damage caused by the war.

It was a

It was a blessing in disguise.

There was no such thing as a perfect victory in war.

Victory or defeat, the effects of the battlefield were devastating, and Hector, who had barely regained the structure of his kingdom, experienced considerable difficulty in the process of repairing the damage of war.

Distressed people and ruined land

To the extent that there is a saying that war sets back the development of mankind, it took a considerable amount of time to settle all these problems.

Roman Dmitry was unaware of this fact.

So, as soon as the situation was sorted out, he sent an envoy to convey his intentions and support Hector's situation.

"Dmitry's support is not a one-time thing. We will continue to support Hector until stability is restored, and we will also provide support for manpower to repair the damage. Through this war, Dmitry and Hector proved that they were moving in the same direction. Dmitry will never forget the devotion of Hector, so that in the future the two countries can form a cooperative relationship to guides each other."

With those last words

The envoy retreated.

King Hector reacted happily to the situation where only Hector's leadership remained.

...... We really made the right choice, didn't we? There is absolutely no reason for Dmitry to bear compensation for the damage caused by the war, but he's willing to go all out to help Hector recover.... Son, you made the right choice. Dmitry is not a country that forgets the dedication of those who fought for them.

Emotions welled up in me.

The last few years.

Hector had had a difficult time.

His people starved under Alexander's plots and suffered daily nightmares from the oppression of predators like Kronos and Valhalla.

However, Roman-Dmitry put an end to all problems.

When he received a message about the way he was going to live, King Hector wanted to express his emotions as they were, if not for his official position.

Hector's future.

It was bright.

The leaders of Hector were able to laugh heartily at the fact that from now on, they would be able to live like a nation.

And yet.

Edwin Hector was different.

He stared at the happiness-soaked scene with a complicated expression.

'What kind of existence is Roman Dmitry?'

I really couldn't understand it.

Dmitry must have a lot of work ahead of him, and he said he was willing to bear Hector's burdens with him.

In fact, the battle against the Valhalla Empire was not simply an demonstration of loyalty.

Hector had only struggled to survive, but Roman, too, had decorated that fact.

Roman Dmitry.

He was a mutation.

He was born as the heir to a baron family, he destroyed the empire, and made the outrageous statement that he was going to invade the demon Realm at the international conference.

Even though they knew it was nonsense, people agreed with it.

Rather than being convinced of Roman's victory, they believed in what he had shown them so far.

Look at this situation.

Dmitry hadn't allowed Hector to fall apart.

He gladly held out his hand and asked Dmitry to be his partner in the brave future that lay ahead.

He bit his lip.

Emotions welled up in me.

So far.

It's been really, really hard.

Born to the heir of a crumbling kingdom, Edwin Hector had to live with the brutality of reality from a young age.

There was no such thing as pampering.

But the fact that there was now someone who could carry his baggage completely for the first time made him want to be honest with himself for one day.

That day.

Edwin Hector went about his day helplessly.

It was a time when he did nothing and did not remind himself of the future in the slightest, but I can say that I have never had a more carefree time than that day.

It was the most relaxed I had felt in a long time.

Edwin Hector, who had been completely reorganized physically and mentally, received unexpected news not long after returning to work.

My Prince! I've secured information that the Empress Dowager, Rodwell, is scouting for a marriage partner. The marriage brokers of various countries have already started to move in to occupy him.

At that moment.

Edwin Hector suspended all business.

Rodowell, Dmitry.

The in-law relationship with the Dmitry family was a great opportunity that he would never want to miss.

***

This time.

He encountered difficulties from the start.

He wanted to promote the marriage with Rodwell, but the problem was that Hector had no suitable partner for him.

The head of state spoke.

I understand what you mean, ...... prince, but in a situation where marriage brokers from all over the world have moved in, a daughter from an ordinary noble family will never be able to win Rodwell's heart. Let's abandon this matter. If we unnecessarily produce a half-hearted partner, it will only make Hector's kingdom look ridiculous.

My thoughts are the same.

Opinions were gathered.

They were all negative about the situation, but Edwin Hector thought differently.

The world is changing. And at the heart of it, Dmitryy Empire is to lead the world. How did you and the others feel about the story Dmitryy's envoy told this time?

I was grateful. Because Dmitry has not forgotten Hector's devotion.

That's right. That is the very vessel of His Majesty Emperor Dmitry. Dmitry never forgets the hard work and dedication of those who follow him. And it's not simply a matter of thinking. Kronos and Valhalla. Even though they hold tremendous power, the reason why they pressured the other countries is because they know the fact that they would grow so much if they could punch a hole in other countries. Even if we both look in the same direction, if we are of different nationalities, we are strangers. It is not an easy law to maintain that much power, but His Majesty Emperor Dmitry chose to support Hector as if such a fact was nothing.

The vessel was different.

Roman hadn't given a second thought to the problems that other countries were creating as they grew.

In fact, my thoughts are no different than the Emperor's. No matter how much the people of other countries, except Dmitry, grow, they will never be able to surpass Dmitry's territory as long as Emperor Dmitry stands in their way. The same goes for Rodwell Dmitry . Rodwell's decision to allow us to leave Arcadia means that he is not concerned about us people forming a power. Then I ask you. What will be the effect on Hector's future if he is to became son-in-law ...

" It will be a huge benefit."

"But there is no one to stand up for in Hector, is there?"

The conclusion was the same.

Edwin - I agree with Hector's meaning, but there was no woman in Hector's royal family that he could list as a marriage partner.

Hence.

A change in thinking was necessary.

Edwin Hector said .

Political marriage is a battle of wills. If the right partner doesn't exist, then we just have to create the ideal being that they want.

* * * *

Present again.

Edwin Hector was not the least bit perturbed by the focused gaze on the word collateral.

As a matter of fact, Catherine was unaware of the fact that she herself was a parthenogenetic of Hector until a short while ago. It was only by chance that I came to know of Catherine's existence, and seeing how she has managed to keep herself alive despite the harsh environment, that I came to accept her as a member of our family.

It was a lie.

In order to find someone from Hector's side line who fit the criteria, Hector's intelligence department had a really hectic time.

Thanks to this, we were able to find Catherine Hector in just one day.

They were vaguely related on the maternal side, but as soon as he saw her, Edwin Hector was convinced.

Catherine would do.

She could win Rodwell Dmitry's heart.

I dare not mention Catherine's appearance. Apart from how pretty she was, she was a child living alone with her father in a harsh environment. She is strong enough not to hesitate to do two or three jobs a day if necessary and can easily handle using her strength. As far as I know, Mr. Rodwell-Dmitry told me that he will be leaving for Arcadia soon. They call this the land of opportunity, and I know that new beginnings in a land that has been covered in snow for years will not be easy. Catherine is the girl who will keep Rodwell-Dmitry close by to make sure he has no problems there.

Everyone in this room.

I didn't think I had met Catherine by chance.

But what mattered now was not the reason for accepting a her as a family member, but what kind of existence Catherine Hector is.

Catherine is a beautiful girl. I found her intentionally, but she is bright and radiant enough to be accepted as a member of the Hector family even if this marriage is complicated. That's why Rihanna-Dmitry will have no choice but to be shaken to the core.''

This marriage

he needed to focus on Rehanna-Dmitry's purpose.

Her reason for calling people together and rushing into the marriage began with her concern for her son.

Think about it.

In the future, she would have to start a new life in a harsh land, but would Rihanna-Dmitry feel safe with women like flowers in a greenhouse guarding her side?

Rodwell-Dmitry had lost an eye in the war, and was so badly injured that he had been on the verge of life and death for some time after this war was over.

He

If she wanted her son to be safe, she would want a wise and strong woman who would protect him no matter what the circumstances.

Catherine Hector was the perfect match.

Her beautiful look was only one of the things that made her shine, and she was a shining child in other ways as well.

As a matter of fact, I can only bridge the gap, but I can't force Catherine into this marriage. The Catherine I have experienced, and Mr. Rodwell-Dmitry. I came to see you like this because I am sure that you have enough attraction for each other and I hope that you will meet and create a good future for yourselves.

That moment.

The marriage brokers were convinced.

The marriage brokers were convinced that all the people in the room were one and the same.

As you can see by the glittering look in Rehanna Dmitry's eyes, Edwin Hector was the only one who could capture her true feelings.

* * * *

The seats were finished.

After Edwin Hector, the marriage brokers introduced her to a series of attractive women, but Rehanna Dmitry's heart was already set on Catherine Hector.

She had a strong child.

No matter what problems might arise in the harsh environment of Arcadia, she knew she could survive with someone like that.

At one time

Like Romero-Dmitry who was only a commoner, like his past who had overcome all kinds of adversity.

There was no reason to waste my time any longer.

Rihanna-Dmitry quickly visited Rodwell-Dmitry.

Hush.

'These are the women I've chosen,' she said. They are all beautiful children, each with her own charm. Take a good look and let me know if there's a girl you like.

...... mother.

'Rodwell, I don't want to force you to marry either. But my son, whom I truly love, has lost his eye, and now his life is almost in danger. Do you know how earnestly I prayed to God while you were lying unconscious in bed? If you want to live the life you want from now on, at least accept this mother's sincerity.

Her too.

This situation was uncomfortable.

She promoted political marriage, but because of the precedent of the awkward roman-Dmitry, she didn't want to intervene in her children's marriage as much as possible.

But the mothers were all the same.

As she gazed impatiently at Rodwell-Dmitry, it seemed that she would not be able to reassure herself if she did not have a wise woman by her son's side.

Her son would be leaving soon.

she hoped that his life in Arcadia would have at least one person by his side who would think of Rodwell-Dmitry as she did.

The silence subsided.

Rodwell-Dmitry looked at the list with a complicated look in his eyes.

I understood my mother's mind.

He must have been trying so hard because she was genuinely worried about hims, and if he hadn't had other things on his mind, he might have obeyed his mother's will.

However, there were circumstances that prevented him from doing so.

He didn't want to reveal as much as possible, but he couldn't hide the truth anymore in order to convince his mother, who was very adamant.

I swallowed my words again and again.

After a few moments of hesitation, Rodwell-Dmitry finally managed to get the words out.

...... Mother. In fact, there's a woman I've been thinking about.

Is that true?

she was flabbergasted.

She had thought that Rodwell-Dmitry was really a wooden stone of a boy and had no interest in women at all.

So, with a heavy heart, I made a direct move, being his mother, but I never thought I would get such a reply.

And yet.

At that moment, I felt an ominous feeling.

Seeing Rodwell-Dmitry unable to continue any further, Rihanna-Dmitry asked cautiously.

So, are you going to tell me who she is?

Mother and son had learned the truth .

In this situation.

The fact that there was only one name that her son could not mention.

Rodwell-Dmitry finally made up his mind, and looked his mother squarely in the eye as he spoke.

'It's Flora-Lawrence,' he said, 'and my brother already knows what I really really feel about this.

Really

It was a matter that needed much talking about.

It all started with the war against the Kronos Empire.

I had to go back to that moment when Rodwell Dmitry had risked his life.
