Golden Ring (錦還), Solar Eclipse (12)
There was no such riot. This was a de facto ‘attack’.
“Oh my God, your majesty the prince is resurrected? Does that make sense?”
Flyers were scattered across the dry sky. The Penetian Inland military camp was overturned in less than 30 minutes.
“hey! Did you just pick it up? Read it quickly!”
“It must be a lie, no matter what! How can the dead come back alive!”
“Honestly, I hate this more than that. Look. There is no religious tax in the Empire!”
“Is it real? Then, are soldiers’ salaries higher than ours?”
Not only ordinary soldiers, but also knights, with confused faces, looked around with papers.
Even those who had been standing in a hurry seemed to have run away from sleep.
As usual, it was of course the role of Elissa Penetian to take care of it.
But the Crown Princess took time.
He didn’t say anything until the other commander left.
She, too, was greatly embarrassed, but at the same time, she had a gut feeling that there would not be another opportunity like this.
“Look at this! Iza is ＜The Liberator of King Baekgok>. Is it a novel?”
“I am black-eyed. You read it.”
“That’s a nice title, I don’t know what it means. Five? Do you have any pictures?”
“Hey, you idiots! Hide the leaflet quickly, it’s something that will be a surprise to your superiors!”
It was a moonlit night.
The light wasn’t bright, so it was good for the fire wheel to hide, and the road wasn’t too dark, so it was good for her to take a secret step.
‘Flutter!’ Elissa quickly returned to the barracks after carrying about three leaflets with the same content in her arms.
I couldn’t even imagine that Lister-kun would use this method.
I also wondered how this was possible.
Naturally, it was a street that could not be distributed with a normal catapult, and no matter how well an empire developed magic tools, there was no such thing as such a skill.
The blue eyes of the paladin traced the air.
“no way······.”
‘The Shrine of Trees’. Was he using that new creature that could shoot anything in the world?
But who? Was she a water princess? I know the kid is in the sea.
– Crackle, bubble!
Elisha quickly took another piece of paper out of her pocket.
Then, the three men escorting the front of the barracks were immediately brought inside.
“majesty!”
“majesty.”
“Did you call?”
“I have something to ask of you.”
And, familiarly, found a pocket of gold coins in the bed drawer.
The most intelligent soldier among them asked.
“Are you mail delivery?”
“okay. Without you, I cannot even dream of it.”
This was Elisser’s sincerity, and on the other hand, it was a kind of ninjutsu he learned from his father.
Every time the Crown Princess thought of him, she struggled with sadness and anger.
The man was Jesse’s terrible adoptive father and eventually became an unforgivable murderer.
However, the teachings that the father left to his eldest daughter for thirty years certainly existed.
Among them, the most useful were:
‘Our princess. If you want to treat people as you please, make them special.’
‘It’s not at all difficult. Do you know why?’
‘Because the Crown Princess is already the most special being in the world. If you use the noble lips of royalty to point out the importance of your partner, he will believe you have truly come to be worthy. I think the Crown Princess recognizes me as a benefactor and a noble person.’
‘Loyalty starts from such a heart. Isn’t it really that simple?’
. . . Elisser had no intention of picking a hand that he could use.
I couldn’t afford it, and I couldn’t afford it.
It didn’t matter who it was, as long as it was possible to mourn my brother and save this country.
This was the study of monarchy that any small king (素王) should learn.
“Every day you are helping me to seek a new kingdom.”
“·················ogue.”
“The Penetians need talented people like you. It is shameful and sad, but other nobles will not be able to trust you.”
“Leave it to me.”
“I will be loyal!”
“Only trust us, Your Majesty!”
The soldiers responded with a bright smile.
The attitude the Crown Princess has shown them so far has not been enough to capture the hearts of the common people.
She ate the same diet as the soldiers all the time, got up at about the same time to attend training, and occasionally went out into the fields to hunt animals for all to eat.
If there was a village nearby, he would definitely inspect it at least once.
Since he was not a priest, he could not baptize children, but when he went from house to house and planted a sacred fire in the hearth, everyone was genuinely happy.
They shared the clothes they had brought from the royal castle and wore the jackets the people had made for them.
It was fortunate that there was something I could do besides fighting.
But that wasn’t all. The Crown Princess had not forgotten the words of the deceased Janine.
‘His method is simple… For money, cool. Cover your mouth with more money… With power, with greater power, ugh. don’t call people The price is at once. exactly.’
Wilhelmina Sneijder’s method is simple and clear.
If so, Elither Penetian will do the same.
No, I will use a more powerful method than that.
“Did you see the flyer?”
“oh. Yes, yes….”
The soldiers looked at each other, not knowing what to do with the sudden question.
It was unexpected that those words would come from the Crown Princess first.
In fact, they too were bewildered from before, and their hearts were pounding.
Elissa had a calm face as if she knew everything.
“Soon the Duke Sneijder and the nobles will collect the flyers. Don’t hide it in your arms, put it in the bottom of your boot or your underwear so it won’t be discovered.”
“ah······.”
“I also just skimmed it, but it was quite sensitive to the upper class.”
she said in a whisper. The soldiers nodded with surprised rabbit eyes.
No, do I dare to express my affirmation in front of the Crown Princess?
“There is nothing to hide from me.”
Then, the innocent faces of the three men instantly brightened.
At the thought of sharing a secret with a respected person, I felt overwhelmed and my heart pounded.
Elisha ate and handed out gold coins to everyone.
Instead of putting it down on the table and letting them take it for themselves, I conveyed my warmth directly to each person’s hand.
It was something my aunt and father with tuberculosis could never do.
“When I ascend the throne, the religious tax will be abolished. Isn’t that an old habit?”
“Oh my gosh······.”
“Is that true?”
“There is nothing good about spreading the word. Only the three of you know.”
“Wow!”
I know that words will spread unknowingly. This is half the intended result.
If the duke’s power thinks of me with a surprised heart, it’s okay to call it a lie of commoners.
If I declared with my characteristic dignified expression and solemn voice, no one would doubt me.
However, the common people who have seen her words and actions will have a different opinion.
Elissa had firmly believed from a certain moment.
The ‘force’ that will be with him forever is not in the top of the royal castle, but in the field of the new kingdom.
“In the midst of chaos with the Imperial Flyers, there will most likely be a commander calling you. Wilhelmina Sneijder is not a crack maker.”
she said low The soldiers immediately shook their heads.
“Yes, nothing.”
“I know. Don’t worry.”
“I will give him a letter written in blue ink, and a letter written in black ink to reach the zodiac.”
The answer came back again and again.
There was a happy look on Elisha’s cold face for an instant.
Even in the midst of pressure from all sides, she felt a strange peace.
Although he had lived among the nobles his whole life, he was more comfortable when he was with them or spending time in a remote village.
The body was a little uncomfortable, but the mind was calm.
“You’re smart too. Thank you.”
“Hey, what?”
“What is the habit of talking to His Majesty, Kim!”
“Be quiet, both of you!”
Soldiers of an arrogant age were meowing.
When Elissa shook his head, the three of them stopped arguing.
Considering that the duke would find out, the Crown Princess always wrote two letters.
Not only did he write a letter to his father and Cornelis, but he also wrote two separate chapters for the secret letter to the court white and Martier.

One was a letter that the Duke could read and was littered with lies.
In the other, he wrote his true news and true feelings.
He never forgot to ask the soldiers.
“Keep in mind. If any nobleman pays you a favor,”
“I will definitely take it. It’s good for us, and it’s a way not to get him suspicious.”
“Kim! Your Majesty, don’t interrupt me while I’m speaking!”
“Don’t raise your voice, Kuman!”
“It stopped. It’s nice to see you on a good relationship.”
At the words of the Crown Princess, the three of them covered their lips again.
Elissa promised the future one last time before sending out her soldiers.
It was already repeated many times.
“When the war is over, you will be given the honor you deserve.”
This was something Wilhelmina could never give.
Like other nobles, she did not have the right to write a book.
“And don’t promise the education of your children and the safety of your family. I swear to my brothers it will be so.”
But Elisha could. The royal vows were the heaviest and most precious in the new kingdom.
“··············Thank you, my lord!”
“s*x is doomed.”
“I will move one by one. Just so you don’t get noticed!”
“okay.”
The three musketeers left the barracks one after another.
The corners of their lips went up as they all had their eyes twinkling as if they had become apostles of justice.
I suddenly remembered a scene I had seen in the Lister Empire.
Her lovely little brother and the daring and wild child of the sea.
A young man of flame who was still a prince.
In their eyes towards each other, there was an ugly affection and a good feeling of trust.
“·················ogue.”
Elissa put the tears in her eyes, which were about to get hot again, on the forearm of the light armor.
Resurrection is nonsense. She wasn’t the Crown Princess to be swept away by shallow agitation.
The Empire didn’t care.
So, he had to do everything he could. I had to endure to pay for my sins.
To save the country, you had to be strong.
“Whoa.”
it could be. She is the daughter of Christan Penetian.
Heir to the shining crown, who was once stronger and wiser than any king in the new kingdom.
“let’s go.”
And she is Jesse Penetian’s sister.
A child who sometimes does ridiculously reckless things, thereby saving small but precious things.
– Flutter!
Elisha quickly walked out of the tent and came out.
The military camp was still crowded with leaflets from the Empire.
To the extent that no one bowed down or stopped when they saw her. The road leading to Grand Duke Judith Kamingha’s barracks was straight.

On the other side, the shouts of young commanders were coming and going.
If it spreads through friction, the peacock will have no choice but to head that way.
It was a good thing.
-fault!
The cardinal quickly hid himself.
The blonde, as bright as the sun, disappeared behind the dark moon.
*
‘Operation Dunkirk’ was a huge success.
·······No. It was the responsibility of those who fought back then, so let’s call it ‘Operation Honing’.
-Wheewoo…
– aaah
A gentle autumn wind blew. We sat leaning side by side in the shrine.
No, to be precise, it should have been said that they were all exhausted and collapsed.
A benevolent old tree gave fruit with a long stalk.
Then the sun was not shining and it was even cooler.
‘thank you.’ I looked up at the green jewel and whispered.
Herit in his arms again took the form of a child.
I was grateful to see his sleepy face after a great performance, and it made me laugh over and over again.
Perseverance, who had been separated from the little boy, was sitting on Eva’s shoulder, dozing off as if tired and dying.
It took a lot of force, really. Thank you too.
“…that was the last time with Josephina.”
Sir John was lying narrowly on the edge of the shade.
His shirt was torn, revealing his scarred forearm, and his hairband was half untied.
I stared at the man as if he was going to be buried in the grass at any moment.
The story had been going on for a while, slowly and sloshingly.
We didn’t push him like we had promised.
If he was wandering through a moment in the past, he let it be, and he didn’t ask if he skipped halfway through.
Eva, sitting close to me, looked like she had a lot to say, but held it in.
It wasn’t long after he regained consciousness, but he was kind and gentle. Thank you too, little peacock.
“Why did you do that? Why did that lord lie to Josephina? Even if 10 mercenaries come, 50 knights is unreasonable. It’s like pushing your back to die!”
Wow, I can’t stand it right away and it explodes!
“Eva. That means,”
“Because he was jealous of me.”
“·················ogue.”
“·················ogue.”
A blunt answer came back. We blinked blankly. what just-
“Ever since I was awakened as a priest, I worked from town to town. I was an orphan. Most of the money I received was used for living expenses, but I volunteered for free to those in need.”
“·················ogue.”
“Then I met my wife in a village, married her and settled there. He was later ordained as Archbishop. It took a long time to review, but it was okay. no······. I was not okay, but Josephina said so.”
‘Everything is fine.’ he chuckled
Josephina was a lively person.
He was strong and good at his job, and he was always positive and bubbly, so he was a mercenary in high demand outside of the territory.
Her husband, Sir John, was recognized as an archbishop-level paladin, and he boasted about it everywhere.
Everyone who knew her heartily congratulated and rejoiced. Except for one person.
“From then on, Yeongju began to be outright jealous of me. As a commoner, I was praised by the Youngji people, talked about here and there, and became an archbishop, attracting the attention of high-ranking people. I guess I didn’t like it. Starting with a ball held in Yeongjuseong, the number of requests that came to me decreased significantly.”
I was dumbfounded and opened my mouth. Does that mean you quit your job?
You couldn’t support and help the proud Young Ji-min, but you were blinded by jealousy and decided to starve?
“What kind of people are there? If you are a noble, shouldn’t you act like a noble? Why do you bully Young Ji-min when you have everything?!”
Good job, Eva!
“ha ha ha. If the Duchess had been my lord, the situation would have been very different.”
Sir John looked back at us and smiled genuinely and cheerfully.
His messy hair was fluttering white as if greeting the sky.
“But he was such a human… One day, when the conflict deepened, I formally asked for reconciliation and called Josephina separately. I couldn’t accompany him to take care of the sick Herit.”
“·················ogue.”
“I proposed a trap on the spot. You can’t kill me, so I was using my wife to avenge my anger.”
“Oh my gosh······.”
“I heard that he was planning to assassinate the lord of the neighboring estate. He owes her a lot of gambling debt. I decided to let Josefina go, knowing that I wouldn’t be able to kill him anyway. After all, if you succeed in the quest, that’s a good thing.”
“ha······.”
I moaned and buried my forehead in the palm of my hand. Also, bad guys don’t do it alone.
How could that be? How a person, a person….
“I must have really hated you.”
I mumbled like a sigh. Sir John immediately frowned.
“You were playing the role of the prince of the new kingdom. You’ve been treated like that, but the royal family doesn’t look good… I’m really sorry if I’ve hurt you without knowing it.”
“aaah. If you’re going to talk like that, shut up, you idiot Marquis!”
Eva covered her ears with both hands in anger.
While his eyes widened in surprise, the child jumped up and leaned on his waist and tilted his neck.
It came out, the monopoly patent of the small work, ‘pinning posture’!
“So who shot it? A shrine!”
‘I didn’t see it, did I?’ The child looked at Duckshim and I, then Herit, and Sir John, and asked.
uhm. What do you answer?
“that is······.”
Sir John fastened the leaflet to the arrowhead, Herit pulled the bowstring, and I hooked the growths to aim.
For reference, I shouted ‘Prepare, shoot!’
Can it be said that the five of us joined forces, including Jingung and Dungshim?
But I want to leave Herit’s story to her.
“And who was that handsome man?”
“yes?”
I tilted my head. Eva was dyeing her cheeks red from the heat.
What handsome man are you talking about all of a sudden?
“A tall, handsome white-haired Confucius. If it wasn’t my dream, I was definitely here. Where did you go?”
······uh?
“Ha ha ha ha ha.”
Sir John finally laughed out loud.
It was the brightest and lightest expression I’ve ever seen, but now that’s not the problem. really!
“ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha······.”
This is not the time to hold onto your belly and wipe your tears and laugh, Father Herit! Think about the age difference between the two!
“Marquis!”
– Beep!
Eva pressed me tight.
I swallowed dry saliva and hugged Herit even more. Sarrrr, Sarrrr…
The leaves lay in the air and burst out laughing bags.
