I will be a Hero in this life
Simon Wren Amedio, Son of Yug Mael Amedio the duke of the Gealach Empire, had everything he wanted: money, fame, power intelligence, he was the god's special child and was adored wherever he went. The only thing he didn't have and yearned for was his mother. However, his mother took advantage of his yearning and used him for her own gain. She made him kill everyone who stood in her way, including the people that perhaps loved him, the most by his own hands. When Simon realized his mistakes, it was too late or maybe not...after all, he was God's special child. And just like everyone deserves a second chance, Simon got his second chance as well after he went back in time as a child and, hence, began the game of revenge. Cover not mine credit goes to the original owner Not a slow burn story.

"Your Highness," Rune said as he ran after Orion, who seemed like he was running a marathon.
"Your Highness, please stop." He said and Orion finally stopped, "I apologize..."
"I don't want your apology General, what I want is justice. Seventy percent tax will kill my people because of poverty and what will happen when my country collapses due to lack of money? The Queen will ask them to become her slave? Rather than that, it would be better than my people just die."
He said aggressively and Rune can hear the sheer desperation and agony he feels for his people, "I understand your Highness, but please... just a few more days..."
Orion closed his eyes and sighed, "Just a few more days! I trust you, General. You have the fate of my people in your hands. Don't back out. It was you and Princess Iyana that I chose, to trust if you two backed off now, then you both will never find peace."
