As tiathered below Roan
In the first place, the size of two people’s plate itself was different <sup class="footnote">1</sup>
‘If the proenerals all support Count Lancephil, then it is irand dukedohts inside his mind
‘Since Princess Katy had refused to cli the throne to Princess Aily……’
When he was still absorbed in vain thought
“S, Sir Duke!”
“L, look at that, sir!”
The tower’s nobles widely goggled their eyes and pointed at the castle’s inside
Kkakakakang! Kkakang! Kkakakakakang!
Loud and noisy sound pierced into the ears
“J, just what is this……?”
Francis creased his forehead and looked at the street longly stretching towards the inside of the castle
“Ah……”
Fro from the main street’s sides, the castle’s residents poured out
Men and wo, rich and poor, leaders and ordinary commoners, slaves and e and status approached through the ! Kkakang! Kkakakakakang!
They strongly clang the pans and plates held in their hands
Phabababam! Phabam! Phababababam!
It oddlyoutside the castle
“T, these insane bastards……”
“They dare!”
Few a the nobles flushed their faces and shouted aloud
“What are the knight order doing! Get theo block theate!”
As an unexpected event unfolded at a situation that was already tense, few nobles gave mad orders
“Yes sir Understood”
The knights and soldiers who entered Miller following the nobles tried to cli!
An unexpected hts and soldiers who hurriedly moved as well as the tower’s nobles all turned their heads towards the place the metallic sound was heard from
“Hhm”
“Ah……”
Nuroans
Theout a sword
The Capital City Guard ere on standby on the ramparts had pulled out their swords and blockaded the tower
“I apologies sirs but if you inally a part of the Lancephil Fief Regiment and a taemusa as the Capital City Guard Captain, pointed at the knights with his weapon
“We will cut off all your heads”
At those words, a knight as at the front creased his face
“W, what! A hts! Are you mad!”
“Well, I don’t know From what I see, sir, it seeh”
Leslie lightly replied and then gave a hand signal with his left hand
Pbat!
Instantly, the Capital City Guard’s tae the ramparts raced towards the tower and took forht spat out a curse and clenched his teeth
The Capital City Guard’s number was too many that they couldn’t carelesslythe scene stepped forwards
“What is the reason you’ve needlessly dragged on ti to come out like this in the end? Would it have been far easier to trap and cut off our heads beforehand and then open up the castle gate?”
Words said as if to rebuke
At those words, Leslie formed a smile
“Sir Duke Wilson It see We have absolutely no thought of causing warathered here”
A composed voice
“I aiven, sirs”
“And what is that order?”
Francis asked in a completely sunken voice
Leslie looked at the Miller Castle’s residents clanging pots and plates and approaching towards the north gate
“The Capital City Guard will protect the Miller Castle’s residents from any harm, whatever the case ing on Leslie’s mouth turned even thicker
“That is us Capital City Guard’s htly shook the sword he held
“So don’t think of causing harm to the castle’s residents, sirs If you just co our swords at sirs gathered here”
“Hhroan
Finally, he could understand the events that had happened in Miller Castle’s insides within the last few days
‘So the City Guard had stepped up only when the nobles violently treated the castle’s residents’
His heart ached
Now there truly was nothing they could do
Meanwhile, the castle’s residents who had swared their pots and plates
Kkakakakang! Kkakang! Kkakakakakang! Kkakang! Kkakakakakang!
Everyone turned their heads and looked up towards the tower
Hot and fierce gazes poured out towards the nobles
“Hhm”
“Huhazes and subtly stepped back
In contrast, Francis leaned on the tower’s ledge and looked straight at the appearances of the castle’s residents
A sight of everyone only clanging their pots and plates with their mouths closed
But at that very moment
<Sir Count Roan Lancephil! Sir Count Roan Lancephil!>
<That sir is the true monarch!>
<Sir Count Lancephil is our monarch!>
<We want to live happily!>
<Only Sir Count Lancephil can achieve that!>
His ears numbly echoed
The resonant shouts, wishes, desires, and hopes pierced into his ears
His head and heart trembled
Of course, it wasn’t that they were physically heard
‘I, is this the sound of the castle’s residents Princess Katy spoke of……’
Francis, only after having the giant mass before his eyes, could finally hear the sound held in the heated hearts of the castle’s citizens
The citizens’ shouts turned even fiercer
<Open the north gate!>
<Open the north gate!>
<Open the north gate!>
<Open the north gate!>
A shout giant enough for the heart to drop and crash
Francis’s hands holding the ledge sharply shook
‘Princess Katy’s words were true’
He bit his lower lip
‘There is nosuch sound……’
His legs weakly trembled
Francis turned his head and looked at the Capital City Guard
“Guard Captain”
A quietly calling voice
However, his voice dangerously shook
“Yes Sir Duke”
Leslie slightly lowered his head
Francis exhaled a short sigh, then ordered in his ate”
Finally, the last rooted wrong surrendered
That was not an attainh violence
It was an achievement the peaceful shouts, actions, and desires of the castle’s citizens had attained
A revolution without a drop of blood
Ggiiiiick!
The tightly closed castle gate opened
“Waaaaaaah!”
The castle’s citizens put down their pots and plates and cheered
Kkukung!
The drawbridge lowered down above the moat
Roan climbed down from his horse and slowly moved his steps
When he arrived at the end of the drawbridge, Francis showed up at the opposite end
Countless gazes from the inside and outside of the castle poured down
“Huu”
Francis exhaled a short sigh and slowly moved his steps towards Roan
He carefully kneeled down and raised up the royal family’s crest and the national seal
“I present the Rinse Royal Family’s crest and the national seal”
Francis’s voice rode the wind and flowed
Roan quietly stared at that sight
Gulp
Everyone dryly sith nervous expressions
At that moment, Roan extended his hands towards Francis
“Please stand up, sir”
Roan raised up Francis and then formed a faint smile
“I do not need the royal family’s crest nor the national seal”
A calm voice spread far, very far out
Every person inside and outside the castle could hear that voice
Roan pointed at the royal faer
“Thethat coain pointed at the sky
“Nor is er pointed at the Lancephil Fief Regiment lined up outside the castle
“And neither is th”
The smile on Roan’s mouth deepened even further
“Monarch……”
The place his finger finally pointed at were the citizens standing within the widely open castle gate
“Comes from the people”
They were the words and the intent he had engraved and engraved always again from the moment he resolved to become a true monarch
Roan looked at Francis and spoke in a quiet voice as if to whisper
“I will become the monarch for all”
A declaration
That was the Great Declaration
“Waaaaaah!”
“Roan! Roan! Roan! Roan!”
The citizens let out shouts of cheers
Following behind, the ariment becah for the surrounding regions with the Miller Castle at the center to shake
The world had finally come to meet the monarch for the very first time birthed by the people
His name was Roan
Roan Lancephil
