Episode 47: Dream in the game becomes reality

15. The Uncontrollable Irregular (1)

Kalitz van Reinharts, the king of the Kingdom of Reinharts, cannot be called a particularly saintly monarch, but he is not a poor monarch either.

He was neither dogmatic nor ambitious, and was reasonably rational, so the ministers who followed him respected the king without much complaints.

In addition, the Kingdom of Reinharts, ruled by King Kalitz, was the second most powerful country after the four great empires, and perhaps because of the existence of the Noble Audit Office, the nobles did not commit corruption that crossed the line, so there was less concern both internally and externally.

However, King Kalitz has been having growing concerns lately.

That was the problem of his children, who were full of personality and strength, unlike King Kalitz, who was fine with everything.

'Crown Michael will undoubtedly lead the country well. 'He often doesn't know what he's thinking, but he's definitely a very smart kid.'

'But the qualities of Prince Luke 2 cannot be ignored. It's been nearly 300 years since an Auror Master was born from the royal family. 'He has the overwhelming support of the knights and is very popular with the people, so it would be a waste to keep him as a simple royal.'

The Kingdom of Reinharts is currently in a state of intensifying conflict between two princes over the position of the next king.

A form in which the younger brother attacks the older brother who has already been appointed crown prince.

It was a fight that would not have been possible originally, but the presence of the young Auror Master made it possible.

If King Kalitz had taken center stage and checked the growth of the Second Prince faction from the beginning, the problem would not have become this serious, but he missed the timing because of his pity for Prince Luke.

It can also be said that the division of the aristocratic society was the fault of King Kalitz and himself, who were unable to find a center.

This situation had to be resolved somehow, but the problem was that there was no clear solution in sight.

'If things continue like this, the country may be divided.'

The king sensed that the time to make a choice for the country was not far away.

It was time for him to step forward and join hands with one prince to push out the other prince.

A situation arises where a father must take care of his child directly.

Thanks to this, King Kalitz was so worried that he couldn't sleep well these days.

'I have a headache just because of my children... … .'

Thanks to this, I felt like my head was going to explode.

But to my dismay, at this moment, a new and unexpected problem arose.

"We declare a territorial war against the four families: 'Viscount Doherty', 'Viscount Parma', 'Viscount Karma', and 'Viscount Ronye'."

A figure has appeared who is fanning the flames of national trouble and instigating chaos.

'New Marquis Adrian Lawrence.'

Adrian, a new figure of power and important enough to upset the balance of politics, suddenly declared a territorial war against four territories in a space where everyone was smiling and congratulating him.

Thanks to this, the warm atmosphere of the event venue became as cold as the absolutely frozen ground of the Brigham Empire.

"Ro, Marquis Laurence. "Now, let's talk for a moment."

The second prince with a thick face stammered as he grabbed the new marquis' arm.

King Kalitz thought as he looked at that scene.

In this country... … .

A new idiot has appeared.

* * *

The sudden declaration of territory war led not only to the king but also to the second prince to shout at him.

However, because I know that I cannot revoke a title that has already been given, I said that I have no intention of repeating what I said.

"I guess I misunderstood the Marquis Lawrence's tendencies. "I thought he was a typical scholar-type person, but I never thought he would be this belligerent."

Prince Luke sighed incongruously.

"You know what? "Are you saying that the new lord cannot expand his territory for one year?"

"Then, we will defeat only four families and return the territory to the king's territory."

"You don't plan on being bitten till the end, do you?"

"yes."

In the end, Prince Luke, who failed to persuade me, put his hand on my shoulder, added one last word, and walked away.

"Your actions today have disappointed me. "Let's watch from now on."

Well, this is roughly the reaction I expected.

However, it was revealed in his afterword that he could never abandon me, 'I will watch.'

"Does this make you feel like you've become the family's bastard?"

"You're a fucking idiot."

However, there was someone who was as shocked as the four families who received this nomination, and that was our parents.

When my father approached me with his eyebrows narrowed, I responded with an apologetic expression.

"I originally didn't plan on doing something like this, but I guess I was too angry. sorry."

"Why on earth did you do that?"

"It's revenge."

My father was speechless at the word revenge.

And then my father asked while massaging his temples.

"It is bound to be dangerous if four families attack at the same time. "You probably declared territory war knowing that, right?"

"Sure. Do not worry."

In response to my confidence, my father eventually shook his head and walked away.

"I will trust you."

So we walked together through the Great Hall, which had been transformed from a victory celebration event into a party venue.

The stage and seats were cleared in an instant, and food was spread out everywhere.

In addition, soft classical music rang throughout the hall, making it a complete party venue.

"It seems like everyone is reluctant to approach your eccentricities."

"Haha, that's good. "I feel uncomfortable dealing with people."

Is it because of my unexpected behavior?

Even before the event started, we exchanged greetings and said we wanted to be friends, but no one came close.

It seems he has been branded as a dangerous person.

"It's been a long time since I've attended a party hosted by the royal family, so let's enjoy it."

Even though my father and I found our usual pace, my mother had a worried look on her face and was unable to enjoy the party easily.

Then the father encouraged his mother to dance, saying he believed in his talented son.

My mother gave me a look asking if I was really okay, and when I smiled and nodded, I finally relaxed my expression and held my father's hand.

As the two of you headed to the dance hall, I secretly raised my magic power.

"That's it."

"We will be together."

In fact, I left a trace of magic on the guys that I didn't like to see.

So I approached the four guys who were probably agitated.

* * *

"Are you crazy? "There has to be a justification for evangelizing the territory, right?"

"Are our actions justified?"

"Is this something immature you did when you were young?"

Adrian's alumni, the children and ladies of the four families who had been singled out as targets of the territory war, stamped their feet with expressions of great embarrassment.

It was their parents, the lords, who were really shocked, but they did not expect that Adrian's declaration of war would be related to their own children.

That's why the four people who ran away from their parents put their heads together and came up with a solution.

"But, will we lose?"

"what?"

"Looking at this guy's declaration of war, doesn't it mean our four families can unite?"

"That's true, but the opponent is the Marquis!"

"Just calm down and listen to me. No matter how small we are compared to Isabella, we are a lordly family with a viscounty. Don't you think that if those four families join forces, they will be able to take on the new Marquis Jeong-dong?"

Those who were embarrassed and couldn't keep up had to unconsciously nod their heads at the argument of the Viscountess of Parma.

"But, wouldn't a smart guy not expect something like that?"

"Even if there is a hidden plan, I don't think this is a completely hopeless situation."

"That's right. "If our four families join forces, we will have a power equal to or greater than that of an earl or less than a margrave."

The more they calmly organized their thoughts, the more their stiff expressions began to clear up.

Adrian suddenly received the title of marquis and suddenly applied for a territory war as a marquis, so he was scared, but common sense made him realize that Adrian's declaration of war was reckless.

"Are you sure it's worth it?"

"Is that really the case?"

"huh? omg!"

But that was then.

"hi?"

"Oh, Adrian!?"

When Adrian appeared and spoke to them from behind, they all looked like they had seen a ghost.

"Adrian? "These bastards are calling the Marquis by his first name?"

Prince Viscount Parma objected to Adrian's taunting behavior.

"Do not be ridiculous. Do you think they will respect the subject who applied for territory war now?"

But they forgot for a moment.

The fact is that the current Adrian is a young man who even declares a territorial war in front of the king at a victory ceremony.

"Then I will make you respect it."

Adrian grinned, took off the gloves he was wearing, and threw them in the face of the Viscount Parma.

"Prince Viscount Parma, I cannot bear your rudeness. "I challenge you to a duel."

"what?"

"Isn't it the perfect entertainment as a prelude to the battle against the territory?"

An action that goes beyond common sense and is beyond outrageous.

However, because so many people were paying attention, the reinforcements of the Viscountess of Parma arrived faster than Adrian expected.

"That duel is unacceptable. "Your Excellency the Marquis."

These were the heads of the four families who had received a declaration of war from Adrian.

As they gathered together like children to discuss measures, they happened to find Adrian and joined the conversation.

"Didn't His Excellency provoke you first? Moreover, since the status difference between the two is so great, a duel cannot be established under national law."

Adrian expressed his regret by saying that he did not even know that such a law existed.

"It's a shame. "If I could cut off Prince Parma's head, I would have been able to get rid of him in this territorial battle."

"I don't know what kind of bad relationship you have with my child, but don't you think this is going too far?"

At this point, they couldn't help but notice that Adrian's actions were related to their children.

"You're crossing the line, damn it. I am a person with a clear relationship. "If anything has happened, I will definitely repay you."

"What does that mean?"

"Ask your son for more details. The official documents from Yeongjijeon will probably arrive within a week. "If you don't want to experience downfall because of your poor son, capture this guy and bring him before me."

"Are you asking me to sell my child? "You keep crossing the line?"

"is it so? Then, see you on the battlefield."

And Adrian left the scene without any hesitation, staring at a woman who was quietly observing the situation behind the Viscount Parma.

"Ah, father."

"Let's go to the estate and talk."

In response, the heads of the four families huffed and left the party as if running away, dragging their children, who could be said to be the cause of the problem.

While the children and children of the four families were being taken away by their parents, those who belatedly found the friend they had been looking for cried out.

"Isabella?"

"Isabella! "Why did you show up now?"

"Isabella, please talk to my father…" … ."

The woman Adrian was staring at at the end was none other than Isabella.

"What the hell is going on?"

She bit her lip with a confused expression.

* * *

[Shock! As soon as he was given the title, the new Marquis Adrian Lawrence declared a territorial war against the four viscountries!] [The new Marquis's spirit embarrassed even His Majesty the King.] [Why did the Marquis Lawrence act like that, ruining the atmosphere of the commemorative event? Was he drunk?] [The Marquis of Lawrence's ill-fated relationship with the four families named dates back to his school days.]-My brother was a victim of school violence and group bullying... … .

└It was so severe that I couldn't go a day without wearing a cast.

└My brother is clearly from a noble family, so why are you so sad? ㅜㅜ

└He is a nobleman in words, but he seems to have lived a life worse than that of a commoner.

└I suffered an assassination attempt at home and bullying and violence at school. To become an archmage under these circumstances is truly admirable.

-It looks like you idiots are getting a real education.

└You must kill them all.

└Adrian! I'm looking forward to the second session of True Education!

As expected, there are no secrets in today's world, and secrets are revealed on their own without me having to tell them to the media.

As a result, online public opinion, which can be said to be my strength, arose, and this became the justification for the territory war.

I can't believe so many people are supporting me.

Even though I caused this situation myself, I am still touched.

"Marquis Lawrence?"

"Oh, what did you say?"

"I was informing you of the specifications of the sky fortress that can be shipped immediately. "Here is the catalog of that sky fortress."

People do that.

They call me reckless.

Is it absurd to say that we are fighting a territorial war when we do not yet have proper military power?

But everyone seems to be misunderstanding something.

If we run out of military power, shouldn't we just buy it and make up for it?
