***[Richard Wang]***
It was simple.
It’s really easy, just subjugate one of the savage tribes, one really small tribe, and come back.
“But what…? Say it again… say it again.”
“I’m sorry. The punitive force was attacked on the tenth day after entering the grassland. The punitive force was cut in half from the first attack, and with subsequent attacks… the crown prince…”
Not listening to the military officer’s words, King Richard picked up a nearby object and threw it at him.
With a loud noise, the silver cup hit the military officer’s face and fell to the floor.
The military officer stumbled, but immediately straightened his posture.
The military officer’s forehead was torn open, and the muscles trapped inside it protruded like humps.
In an instant, blood pooled and flowed.
King Richard waved his hand again, grabbing whatever caught it.
“Lie… You dare lie in front of me… Nasty bastard! Who made you do that! Who! Ball.”
He was about to shout if the duke ordered it, but the chamberlain hugged him from behind.
“Your Majesty! No, stop!”
I heard the chieftain’s suppressed voice as they hugged me tightly.
Her breath dissipates from her ears, and the chieftain’s tears touch her skin.
hot.
Her breath, her tears, and the body temperature of the chief chamberlain embracing King Richard felt hot.
“… Please, Your Majesty… You must not say… the name. Calm down…”
“…”
The chamberlain is crying.
The chief chamberlain who had been with him for a long time, that strong person, was crying.
King Richard was silent.
What did I hear, what was it meant to say, whose name was it?
Such thoughts passed by one after another, and the weight of the name I was about to say came to my heart.
I was about to make a mistake.
It was only then that I began to understand little by little what I had just heard from the military officer.
The words of the military officer that I have heard over and over again pierce my heart.
The words that I couldn’t understand when I was living in my ears were gradually accumulated in my heart like snowflakes that melted when they hit the ground.
“… oh my god.”
King Richard knelt down as if collapsing while being embraced by the chamberlain.
dead.
Mercenaries, royal soldiers, and nobles died.
His son Robert also died.
He is said to be missing, but he is probably dead.
“oh my god….”
The duke’s voice and letters that had been advising him several times suddenly filled his head.
[You must not attack them. If you set foot on their land, the irreparable will happen… The steppe tribes raided the kingdom because they kidnapped their people and enslaved them. Don’t be angry, please return all the slaves you captured…]

Despite the ridicule of all the nobles, the duke did not mind and wrote to him several times.
You shouldn’t attack the meadow, the moment you step on their land, something irreversible will happen.
‘Did the Duke know that it would turn out like this? Did he say that because he knew?’
Was it her own fault for not listening to the Duke and sending Robert to death?
It’s not just about losing a son.
The subjugation party, which entered with great force, was defeated by the grassland tribes.
This news must have already spread far and wide in the city.
And soon all the nobles and all the people of the kingdom will know.
It was the royal family who led this subjugation.
The prestige of the royal family will fall to the ground, and everyone who has stood this way laughing at the duke will turn around and point their fingers at the royal family.
Prestige once lost is difficult to regain.
The royal family, which has been pushed back by the duchy until now, is now truly a ghost.
Conversely, the ducal family’s prestige would be so great that even birds flying in the sky could fall.
From now on, no one will be able to ignore his words, no matter how absurd they may be.
His words are power.
The same was true of King Richard himself.
Now I don’t hate the little peacock, I literally fear it.
No matter how bizarre he did, he succeeded every time, and this time, the ridiculous prophecy came true exactly as if he were looking into the future.
There is something special about him.
‘What else did the duke say?’
From nob le mt l dot com
Didn’t you say that attacking the meadow this time would give them an excuse?
It was to give the barbarians who were angry over the slavery issue a chance to unite.
So that they would invade the kingdom.
‘Stand, no way…’
As I lay down and put my hands on the floor as if I was about to collapse, I heard the sharp voice of the first queen tearing through the air.
“Get out of the way! Get out of the way! I need to find out if it’s true. I’ll have to check with Your Majesty myself!”
“Please, Queen 1… not right now. Calm down a bit…”
“I told you to get out of the way! Can’t you hear me!”
“1 Queen Mama.”
The sound of clattering was heard, and a moment later the sound of clattering shoes entered the room.
“Your Majesty! I just heard nonsense.
1 The sound of the queen’s shoes stopped.
When I raised my head, the image of the first queen came into my vision blurry with tears.
The first queen entered the room and stood there as if staring at King Richard.
Seeing him crying, he seemed to recognize that it was true.
“… no… no… Robert… can’t… lie… lie…”
1 The queen muttered that and suddenly ran towards him.
Kneeling on the floor as if tipping over, the first queen cried out.
“It’s a lie. Your Majesty! It’s a lie… tell me it’s a lie… please… my God… no! My son… Robert… no…”
“…”
As we embraced without saying anything, the first queen burst into tears like a child.
“Why did this…why…”
In the silence, only the sobs of the first queen could be heard.
***[Heroine Oscar]***
‘at last….’
I folded the letter and put it on the desk.
Involuntarily staring into the void.
He knew that the kingdom army was almost annihilated by the grassland tribes.
This is because Martin had already sent a message before the surviving kingdom forces reached the border.
But now I knew for the first time that the crown prince was missing.
“It’s said that they are missing, but if they had lost their way in that desolate land, they would have already died. Even if they hadn’t been killed by the steppes, they would have been beaten by wolves or demon beasts while being chased by a small group of people. It’s hard to find water in the grasslands, so there’s no chance they’ll survive. doesn’t exist.”
Benno said quietly.
Normally, he would be right.
If it was an ordinary person who wandered in the meadow.
But Robert is different.
I let out a small sigh.
“No, the crown prince is not dead. He is alive.”
Sensing Benno’s puzzled gaze, I moved to the window.
The heavy air of the flower viewing day has already disappeared.
Now is not the same as usual.
No, it is rather clear and refreshing than before.
It’s as if something unknown that day dragged away all the bad energy in the world.
‘That’s probably…’
That day I wondered what the hell was going on, but now I think I know why.
‘Robert must have been a light man too. Even if it was a different person, it must have been an Earthling.’
It is difficult for humans in this world to twist and change my destiny, a piece of God.
Only people from Earth can do that.
According to my thoughts, there were two such people, but now only one is left, Robert.
To a god from across the planet, he would have been infinitely more precious.
‘If a goddess can do something for me, so can a god from across the planet.’
This world, which has been repeated many times, is also the last.
won’t restart
This world will be the final confrontation between the goddess and the god who crossed the star.
God knows there’s no more chance, so he must have done something to save Robert.
Since Renée is dead, the hope of the god of crossing the stars will have no choice but to come true through Robert.
Benno and others seem to think that the goddess’ wrath has subsided because the number of monsters has stopped increasing, but the number of monsters around the royal capital is still increasing.
I haven’t been able to confirm whether it’s decreased since Robert’s disappearance, but it’s probably, no, it’s definitely on the rise.
Somehow I think I know that.
When I recalled the energy I felt the night I was viewing the flowers, I shuddered involuntarily.
‘If that’s what I gathered my last energy to save Robert.’
What the hell is God going to do?
For some reason, like that night, my heart was agitated and I couldn’t calm down.
Outside the window, Pooh was playing by himself, jumping here and there.
After the night of flower viewing, Pooh became more excited.
It was as if all the bad feelings that had been there had disappeared and they were excited.
Staring at it, I turned around.
“Benno, I have a favor to ask of you and the two captains of the escort.”
“…”
Benno looked at me with a sullen face.
He seems to have realized that this was a request he did not want to grant.
“Call the escort captain.”
Benno, who seemed to be about to say something, shut his mouth and lowered his head.
“All right.”
After a while, the captain of the escort came in.
His face hardened as if Benno had hinted at something.
After not letting anyone in, I called the two closer.
“The captain of the escort must have heard the news, too. But Prince Robert will be alive.”
“Why do you think so?”
The captain of the escort looked at me quietly.
“Well, it’s hard to explain, but.”
After looking at Pooh outside the window once more, I looked at the two of them.
“I think the Crown Prince has a relationship with God across the planet.”
“…”
“…”
Benno and the escort captain looked at each other.
Benno might have noticed a little bit.
The increase in the number of monsters stopped in other places, but seeing only the royal capital increase, he must have felt something strange.
However, it seems that he did not think that Prince Robert had anything to do with God beyond the stars.
“Master, are there any circumstances beyond my knowledge?”
Benno looked at my complexion and asked.
The legend about the gods and goddesses across the planet, the fact that I am a piece of a god, these things even Benno and the captain of the escort know.
But the deeper story was not told.
There are some things I don’t know yet, but if you dig deep into the story, you might even come up with a story about Earth.
But I can’t even talk about that.
I took a small breath.
What would happen if Robert recalled Earth’s memories?
Even so, I won’t talk about Earth.
That part is probably similar to mine.
The problem is that other things can be thought similarly.
Most of the things I can do with my magic might be possible.
Even if he can’t remember Earth, if he has magic power similar to mine, the power is similar.
Unlike the goddess, the god from across the planet seems to be able to communicate through dreams, so he might be able to use his magical power more elaborately and stronger than me.
Anyway, no one knows what the future holds, but one thing is certain.
That is, no one other than me can compete with Robert, who has received the power of a god from across the planet.
If you rush at it for nothing, you will lose your life in vain.
how do i explain that
No, even if I explain it, will these two understand?
I thought for a moment and then opened my mouth.
“It’s just speculation. The two of you know that the air was strange when we were viewing the flowers a few days ago, right?”
At that time, the rest of the city was largely unaffected.
It just felt like it was a cloudy day with no moon or stars in the sky.
However, the air in the castle, especially around Katrin and me, was exceptionally heavy and strange.
It was so different from usual that even a normal person could feel it.
“Yes, that day was quite strange.”
“The escorts who were in charge of the duke and his wife that day also said they felt strange. I also thought the air was a bit heavy and strange that day.”
“I think the god from across the planet did something to the crown prince that day.”
As I said that, I let some of my magic flow around the two of them.
As mana permeates the air, an invisible pressure is created.
“how is it?”
Benno’s eyes widened.
Benno was by my side the whole day.
You’ll probably find out sooner or later.
“It’s similar to the air of the day.”
“Isn’t it? I didn’t even realize that day. The concentration of magical power is very low, and I don’t feel pressured by my own magical power.”
What humans call magical power and the energy of the earth that the steppe tribes call are probably traces left by gods to humans.
It is said that there was a time when humans and gods lived together a long time ago, so it may have been left at that time.
However, the magical power I have seems to be slightly different from other magical powers.
I’m not sure what the difference is.
It is not simply a matter of the way it is operated, but it is different in a slightly more fundamental way.
My guess is that because the blessings of the goddess are piled up in his body, his magic power has changed.
Maybe that’s why Goruka calls me the child of the moon.
And this mana somehow resembled what I felt when I was viewing the flowers that night.
As if both day and night take place in one space, they are the same, only slightly different. maybe.
Benno seems to have guessed what I wanted to say.
His face hardened in an instant.
“I’m still not sure if Prince Robert is like that. Maybe I’m wrong. But if I’m right…”
“master.”
“Duke!”
The two spoke almost simultaneously and leaned forward.
I raised my hand to block them and opened my mouth.
“If Prince Robert and I have to formally confront each other and use force… let neither the two of us intervene, nor anyone else.”
I smiled at them to put them both at ease.
“It’s just a matter of case. There’s no way he, the crown prince, and I, the duke, collide by force.”
“…”
“…”
I looked into both eyes alternately.
“But if that happens, neither Benno nor the captain of the guards step in to save me. No one should.”
Even so, it would only lead to dog death.
I don’t want that.
“This is a request and an order at the same time. So you must never break it.”
At my words, the escort captain’s lips hardened into a single letter, and then opened with a twist.
“As an escort, it’s your job to protect your master no matter what. But it’s not advisable to intervene when you know you’re about to die.”
The captain of the escort smiled lightly.
“So, until that day comes, I will work hard from today onwards. I will definitely find out how to help the duke, what is the most correct way. At least I will find a way to run fast with the duke on my shoulders.”
“hahahaha.”
I laughed lightly.
It is a euphemism for not obeying orders.
I expected it.
“By the way… why is it that I lose?”
that’s weird
At my words, the escort captain shrugged.
“Originally, escort means moving with the assumption that the owner’s body is in danger.”
Well, is it really like that?
Or is it because you think I’m going to lose?
As I smiled, Benno held my hand politely.
“Master, I’m sorry.”
He didn’t say anything after that.
But I knew what Benno was saying behind his back.
I think I heard a voice without sound.
…I may not be able to keep my order not to intervene at all. So… sorry. forgive me
Maybe it’s like that.
After all, it will be difficult to convince these two people.
I’d rather find a way to win in any situation.
It was a different reaction than I expected, but somehow I shrugged my shoulders a little lighter than when I first brought it up.
But isn’t the duke’s order too dignified?
Can I deny it outright like this?
I feel like an idiot for saying this with a spleen heart.
