The Battle for Dmitry (4)

Ares' betrayal.

It was fatal.

As the gates collapsed and the enemy surged forward, Rodwell-Dmitry brought the enemy to a violent boiling fire.

It was an overwhelming presence.

It was such a brutal presence that it didn't let any of the enemies go, but as time went on, 'Rodwell-Dmitry' had to hit his limit.

Pods.

Rumble.

Heads flew off.

The flames spread and swept the surrounding area, but the enemies that soon filled the space didn't allow it any room to breathe.

I couldn't let it end like this.

In the battle against Kronos, which Roman Dmitry had won with his personal abilities every time, he didn't want to hold onto his ankles this time.

I must endure.

If we extend the time, the Lunar Kingdom should arrive.

The flames that raged in the vicinity of Rodwell-Dmitry swept away the soldiers who were jumping at him.

It was a rumble.

It was a melee war.

I forgot about my own existence.

Instead of instinctively slashing and dodging and calculating in my head, I became a lone beast and rampaged recklessly.

Fear filled the eyes of the Kronos Empire soldiers.

They had been forced into a corner as they were attacking, but Rodwell-Dmitry had already been perceived as a demonic presence to them.

That was when it happened.

To Rodwell-Dmitry's keen senses, he heard a familiar voice.

"Help Rodwell Dmitry! If the gates fall, it's over! Team 1, follow me, focus on supporting fire!"

Quan!

Rumble.

The magic exploded.

When I turned my head to check the top of the city wall, I saw that Flora-Lawrence, who was on the left side of the wall, began to lead some troops to support the city gate.

reporting to the top, she made her move.

After setting up the defensive system of the left side wall, she stated, First of all, we need help to keep the city gate from collapsing, and appealed her opinion.

This was the part that hadn't been spoken about beforehand.

As the Knight of Kronos took Rodwell-Dmitry by surprise, the wind blew violently against the city walls.

Ha!

An arrow pierced the forehead.

It was Flora Lawrence.

She looked at Rodwell-Dmitry and quickly adjusted to her surroundings so that he would not fall.

A strange feeling arose.

She might think it was a natural measure to win the war, but she felt grateful that he understood her situation even in such a chaotic situation.

I averted my gaze.

Now it was his turn to focus on the reality in front of him.

Rodwell-Dmitry gritted his teeth and pounced, struggling persistently in the blood and fire-swirling space.

In the end

And so the war was won.

And in return for the victory, the badly wounded Rodwell-Dmitry was immediately transferred to a hospital bed.

* * * *

There was a flip side to the glorious victory.

Rodwell Dmitry and the wounded were taken to hospital beds, a number that was too large to fill several buildings.

By that time, Rodwell-Dmitry's condition was very bad.

As he fought, raising his own limits, the after-effects of the wounds he had sustained all over his body had weakened his vitality considerably.

He couldn't wake up for a while.

A few days later.

When Rodwell-Dmitry finally came to his senses, he found his mother looking at him and crying out

'...... You really are a bad son, aren't you?'

Western Front

I lost my eye there.

He was heartbroken as he stared at himself, vowing to his mother that he would be stronger and not cause her this kind of pain.

But things didn't go as planned.

The enemy Dmitry was facing was too powerful, and as he was not as strong as Roman Dmitry, he could not do anything without risking his life.

He patted his mother on the head.

I could not promise that this would never happen again, so the best I could do was to accept my mother's grief.

However, over the next few days.

Rodwell Dmitry heard strange things.

When people came to visit him, there was a common presence that they referred to, as if they had made a promise.

The first was the Knights Commander Jonathan.

Master Rodwell. It was going to be really bad. If Flora Lawrence hadn't assessed the situation quickly and assisted properly, what might have happened to you. Next time, please don't ever push yourself like you did this time.

It was only then that I understood.

That said, Flora Lawrence, in order to support him, contacted the commanders and strongly insisted on as to support him.

Consequently, it was an appropriate decision.

In order to ensure that the defensive system on the left side of the wall was tightened to support the gate, the Dmitry wall did not collapse despite experiencing the variable of Ares.

And the second.

Romero, his father, was.

Lawrence's house has sent several medicinal products for your treatment. They're really grateful people. From what I hear, Flora Lawrence went around herself and finally got them, so say thank you later.

I hadn't felt any strangeness until that moment.

But the third.

At the words of the therapist who came to check the wound, Rodwell Dmitry realized something in common.

There's no Lady Flora today, is there? The hardships Flora-sama has been through have been extraordinary. Every day she would come in and check on your wounds, and if she thought something was wrong, she would torment me.... Even so, you were able to recover quickly thanks to her. Oh, how cute Flora-sama's heart is as well as her face, and she even often gets food for the healers.

While I'm not paying attention.

Flora Lawrence was around.

A strange feeling entered my mind.

It gave me an opportunity to reconsider her existence, but that didn't mean I accepted her rationally.

Flora Lawrence was strictly Roman's marriage partner.

Just because the relationship had gone awry after the breakup of the marriage, it was unthinkable in aristocratic society to pretend that it had never happened.

A relationship that could not even start.

This was the reality of Rodwell and Flora Lawrence.

And then time passed.

When Rihanna Dmitry mentioned marriage.

The first person that came to Rodwell's mind, even though he was truly confused, was Flora Lawrence.

***

A person's mind needs a trigger.

The moment he realized the fact that he had placed Flora, Lawrence in his mind, Rodowell, was thrown into great confusion.

'I have had a heart that I should not have had.'

A broken marriage .

A label that can only cause problems in aristocratic society, and the person who broke off the engagement was, of all people, his own Hyung, the emperor of the empire, Roman Dmitry.

I could see the future of my relationship with Flora Lawrence.

I didn't know if there were any immoral stories that people were whispering about, maybe even questioning the reason for the broken marriage.

I didn't want to blame them.

Even if it were me, I wouldn't be very happy with the story of my younger brother who accepted his brother's divorced wife.

He reflected on his thoughts.

Why does he have such a mind?

Looking back, his relationship with Flora Lawrence had never taken place in a moment.

He had fought with her on the Western Front in Cairo to stop the Kronos Empire, and continued the relationship through several more wars.

We accepted each other little by little.

As we breathed with each other on the battlefield, we acknowledged, without even knowing it, that we were not so bad people.

It was a relationship that had lasted for several years.

When Rodwell, lost his eye, Flora Lawrence stopped him from making that choice, and when he collapsed standing at the castle gate, she took care of him, guarding his sickbed.

Perhaps the prejudice of the broken engagement made them unaware of each other's existence.

If Roman Dmitry hadn't come forward and broke the engagement, the arranged marriage from the beginning would have spoken volumes about their relationship, but when the tangled relationship took its rightful place again, their relationship with each other was not as it had been before.

I acknowledged the reality.

If.

Really if.

If with someone, Rodwell, wished that he had Flora Lawrence by his side.

Just as it was on the Western Front in Cairo.

Just as he had done in the all-out war against the Kronos Empire.

He was sure that whatever problems might arise, they wouldn't be a problem with her by his side.

he spent the rest of the night worrying.

It's a relationship that no one will welcome, and Flora-Lawrence, who he did not know her own opinion.

It was a very strange situation, the fact that I was in such a serious situation alone in an ordinary relationship.

Late Evening

Rodwell Dmitry took a step forward.

If he knew what he really wanted, he couldn't turn away any longer.

In order to at least be open to new possibilities in the future, he visited his brother and told him his true feelings.

And.

Roman Dmitry told him this.

I was once called Dmitry's idiot. I have done all kinds of bad things, but the people who accepted me as a new and changed man did not judge me by the prejudices of the past. Rodwell, as bad as you lived in the past, they're all in the past. Dmitry's nickname, Dumbass, and even my broken engagement are in the past.

he looked at Rodwell.

His eyes were indifferent, and he put a lot of effort into his choice.

I believe in you. Do what you want. No matter what you choose, no matter what the people say, Rodwell Dmitry is my brother.

That day

Rodwell Dmitry accepted his sincerity.

* * *

She was perplexed.

She had been expecting Flora-Lawrence, but when he actually heard the name, Rehanna-Dmitry couldn't be too hasty to react.

'I didn't think you'd...' ....'

Actually, she was witty to some extent.

She hadn't expected their relationship to have progressed, but she found it odd to see Rodwell Dmitry's attention to detail while he was unconscious.

It was more than a feeling of companionship.

Perhaps they themselves seemed unaware of their emotions, but I saw from a third person's point of view that it was unusual.

I understood.

They understood that the complexity of the situation did not allow for the reality of their relationship.

Rihanna-Dmitry said.

Are you going to marry Flora?

'It's only a one-sided feeling,' I said. 'On hearing my mother's words, I visited my brother and confided my heart to him, and afterwards I visited Flora Lawrence. She told me this, you know. As is well known, Dmitry and Lawrence were once too far apart on the engagement issue to mention their marriage, and now I couldn't carelessly mention their relationship. I don't think I would have known how I felt if my mother hadn't mentioned the marriage. Instead of talking about my marriage to the Lawrence family right now, I need time to properly conclude my feelings. Whether our relationship will be more than it is now, or whether it will be as friends as it is now.

Flora's position was a clear refusal.

Rodwell and Flora.

They were only at the beginning of their relationship.

Rodwell needed enough time to solidify this relationship.

Rihanna-Dmitry stared at her son's face.

She had to say no.

Considering the status of Dmitry's empire, the reputation of the people, and the compounding problems, this was an unacceptable issue.

But

She also knew.

She also knew what Flora Lawrence had looked like on the battlefield, and the fact that she had done a lot of work for Rodwell Dmitry....

Flora was the most ideal companion for Rihanna-Dmitry.

She knew that no matter what happened in Arcadia, they would get along just fine if Flora was with them.

He pondered for a while.

After a while, Rihanna Dmitry said in a calm voice.

"Lawrence is the ambassador for the founding of the Dmitry Empire. Whatever may have happened in the past, he would be happy enough to to have a relationship between us for you to be his son-in-law. But Rodwell. Since it's a relationship that has gone awry once, Lawrence has to be very careful with the relationship. I heard that Flora-Lawrence was included in the trip to Arcadia. You have 2 years. In the meantime, make sure you sort out your relationship with Flora and let me know your decision. If your intentions are the same as Flora's, I will be happy to bless my son's future, but on the other hand, if your hearts are not in sync even then, you should follow my will and take time to get to know amd form a new relationship according to my intentions. Do you agree with this mother's idea?

I took a step back.

If that was what my son's intentions were....

She wanted to at least give me a chance.

No matter how his relationship with Lawrence ended, which had started with the broken engagement, she had no intention of compelling her son..

Because I know how it feels.

Rodwell Dmitry spoke in a heartfelt voice.

. ...... Thank you, Mother.

The Time

Capital of Cairo

Just as the war was centered around Rhodwell-Dmitry, so too was Lauren-Dmitry in the public eye.

But

Lauren Dmitry's situation was quite different.

I will not discuss the subject of marriage until Lauren Dmitry graduates from the Academy.

This was the Dmitry family position.

It naturally drew attention to Rodwell-Dmitry, but that didn't mean that everyone would honestly move on as others did.

Lauren-Dmitry marriage issue was to be suspended from discussion until graduation.

If that's the case, why don't they just get ahead of it and get married after they graduate from the Academy?

People moved quickly.

And eventually.

There was also a man who turned his life around as Dmitry.

'If only I could make Lauren a member of our family, there's no better situation than this.'

Just thinking about it made me laugh.

He was....

Unlike the others, there was a way to gain an advantage.

It was then.

Plop.

Professor, may I come in?

Welcome back.

The door opened.

And Lauren Dmitry stepped in.

As soon as he spotted her face, Henry Albert of the Cairo Royal Academy smiled at her.

"Our pretty Lauren is here."

Abuse of authority.

Henry-Albert took positive advantage of his position.IoOctober 14, 2021 at 10:08 PM

Roman shouldn t have accepted her given how previous roman loved her.

Rodwill dmitry is at fault.

If Flora accept this marriage then that means, she was a bitch. you don t even respect his older brother but now you are marrying younger brother.

If she accepts then she was a fox. She can plot against roman in the future with Rodwill s power.

Her strategy and rodwill s power. Perfect combination.

But roman don t need to use strategy. If you are a supreme leader of murim then your mind and body must be at peak.

Roman damitry s strength and strategy. They can never surpass, no even reach near it.
