Prologue
I am the Monarch
‘In the end it becomes like this.’
A strengthless laugh.
However, i’m not surprised or feel unfair.
Because I knew that I was going to die like this.
“Whew.”
He let out a long breath.
The steam rising coming from his mouth rises to the sky.
“There was a bastard alive over there.”
Looking at the steam of his breath, some enemy soldiers came walking to him.
‘Just let me be. There’s a hole in my stomach, anyways.’
He wanted to say that but he just let it be.
He remembered the spring from 20 years ago.
‘Was I 18 years old when I ran out of the town saying that I would become a great commander that would command the entire world?’
After that, he kept going to the battlefield for 20 years.
And the result of that was that he only had a bit of money in his hands and that he belonged to the first corps of spearmen.
‘What great general. I’m going to die freezing. Damn it.”
His life passed through like a revolving lantern.
‘What would have happened if I had participated in that surprise tactic? No, if I had enrolled when they were enlisting soldiers in the region of Bate? No, no. If I went west in that winter when there was the monster subjugation?’
A crossroad with plenty of choices.
At that time, he chose one side without hesitating.
But the results weren’t that good.
And because of that, he had a hole in his stomach and was waiting to die.
Soon, he could see the evil expressions of the enemy soldiers very close.
‘Damn it.’
The curse ran through his throat.
Stab.
A steel sword stabbed his chest.
“Damn……it.”
His voice without strength rolled outside his mouth.
Roan of the first corps of spearmen from the Rinse kingdom died like that.
