Chapter 733 – #96. Jinhaesol (37)
“It’s futile.”
The appearance of the traitor was painful for Oddman.
He was so savage, even those who betrayed him were talented people who had a fairly large presence on the side of the enlisted soldiers, so they collapsed helplessly.
I have to follow the command, but since the person in charge is a traitor, I am not sure whether I should listen to the order or not.
It was a rebellion that had been prepared for a long time, but in vain, Odman’s soldiers were swept away by the king’s knights.
“I think you’d better wait a little longer. We haven’t caught all the remnants yet.”
“Then how long do I have to be protected?”
“Your Highness will call.”
An old man who is on the verge of death is fighting outside, and I wonder if it’s okay for the young me to be protected inside…
‘What am I going to do when I go out? Let’s just stay calm and do as we’re told.’
It would be better for each other to stay calm than to go out and get into trouble.
How long did you wait for that
The king came into the palace with the help of a knight.
I was being informed of how the situation was going, so I quickly approached the king and helped him instead.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes, yes. It’s okay. I can’t stand this much. When Jim was young, he wandered around the battlefield for over a year. Haha.”
That was when I was young!
You have to consider that I am the grandfather who accepted me to die!
Words of reproach came out of nowhere, but I tried to suppress them.
The king sat down on his throne and sighed deeply.
“It’s over. It’s over now.”
“…Majesty.”
Prince Oddman, who had bothered me so far, was defeated in vain.
By the time he led his privates, he was already defined as a traitor, and his name will be erased from history.
All that was left was to punish Ordman for what he had done.
“Ahhhhh…”
“Should I call the priest?”
“Okay…”
The king’s face is full of cold sweat.
The reason he is able to move after receiving the day to die is thanks to the priest protecting his body with divine power and filling his lack of energy.
It was only natural that he would run out of energy quickly as he and his younger brother engaged in a battle of nerves while lying in bed and trying to save themselves.
The priest who was called hastily restored the king’s energy with divine power.
Only then did the king, whose rough breath was relieved, looked at me.
Even after receiving his divine power, his complexion was still pale.
“It’s a prince.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“Now you must rule this country well.”
“Yes.”
“It must be heavy on my shoulders, but what can I do? There is no time for Jim… I wanted to stay by your side a little longer and teach you many things… But I can feel it. Jim’s work is now over.”
“…”
As the king breathed heavily, he said that he had done all he had to do.
The king’s life force seemed to be vomited from those words, so the answer did not come out easily.
He had a lot to say, but words wouldn’t come out of his mouth as if something was stuck in his throat.
Even though the king knew that even now he couldn’t reveal his true intentions, he smiled generously and held my hand with difficulty.
Holding his decrepit hand, I spat out the words inside for the first and last time.
“…Thank you for being my father.”
It was not easy to call him ‘father’ because he had never had a father.
Moreover, aren’t he and I connected by real blood?
So I thought it was a deception to treat him as my real father.
He must have known that I was drawing a line in the middle of the day.
Because he was quick-witted and smart.
Even so, he didn’t say a word that he was sad to me until the end.
I just accepted my feelings calmly.
It seems that such a casual attitude eventually shook my heart.
I know it’s a deception.
Nevertheless, I wanted to call him ‘Father’ at least once.
Hearing my words, the king smiled for the first time and closed his eyes.
“Majesty!”
“There’s nothing to fuss about. I’m just taking a break because I’m tired…”
He was startled when he suddenly closed his eyes and thought he had passed out.
I’m glad the things I was worried about didn’t happen.
But after the treason ended like that.
As if the rebellion had only just begun, music overflowed in the palace for a while.
Treason is such a big sin that if you get involved in it, doesn’t it affect your family by guilt-by-association?
“How many people are going to die today?”
“I’m having trouble clearing people’s heads all day.”
The number of sinners was not one or two.
Dozens of people were brought into the palace every day, and the soldiers complained of mental pain as they cut the throats of the soldiers who directly committed the crime.
“Cleaning blood is also work. Disposing of corpses is difficult.”
“It’s been a while since the palace is cold.”
“What will happen to the leader of the traitors?”
“Even for royalty, treason is always punishable by death. It will be torn limb from limb.”
“Still, he’s been my favorite brother for a long time…”
“Does he really not know Your Highness? There is no law that he will never look at you.”
And these soldiers guessed exactly right.
However, the way Audman died was quite ingenious.
“No!! I’d rather tear you limb from limb!!! You’re going to insult me even if you die!!!”
The king punished Oddman by burying him alive and killing him.
However, he was not buried alone.
“I’ll have to play with him in the underworld as well. I’ve given him a big disappointment, so I’ll have to do this as a younger brother.”
It was to be buried with the king who had given him an inferiority feeling all his life.
Isn’t his obsession with his brother quite deep for a king who is thorough in ties and severance?
By the time the rebellion that caused such a big wave in the palace was settled to some extent.
The king is dead.
♧ ♧ ♧
After a new king has been crowned.
The kingdom was busy dealing with the aftermath of Oddman’s treason.
It was because treason was something that could shake the country.
It was a situation where not only the traitor Odd had to be punished, but also all the aristocratic families involved with him had to be caught and punished.
Hundreds of people disappeared into the dew of execution by order of the previous king, and after the new king took the throne, it remained to deal with the families of the nobles who died in crime.
There is a saying that the three tribes will be destroyed, but there was no need to really catch and kill them all.
Women, children and young men were demoted to slavery and taken to various workhouses.
I will probably live and work there for the rest of my life.
On the other hand, the prince who succeeded to the throne safely.
So after I become king.
I gave the nobles who supported me the privileges enjoyed by the nobles who joined the rebellion, and solidified my command as king.
The ‘contract’ that the king passed on to me also helped me deal with the nobles who were on my side.
They swore allegiance to me, unable to give up the temptation of sweet carrots or sweet sugar.
However, I did not sign a contract with them again.
‘Because I will continue to distribute dolls to nobles anyway.’
So even signing a contract is useless.
Aristocrats were very awkward about writing a ‘contract’ that could be punished by law rather than a ‘contract’ with compulsion.
Still, it was something I had to get used to.
After sorting out the nobility to some extent, the next thing to do was to give freedom to the knights.
Surprisingly, there were many articles saying that I would continue to work with the Knights, perhaps because they seemed to like it when I obediently kept my promise even after I ascended the throne.
In the first place, the knights pay a lofty salary, but it’s strange that someone says they’re quitting.
Once, her knight commander was a trustworthy person and gave her her power.
It was because only the knight commander expressed concern about terminating the contract and discussed things like side effects that might occur.
‘If a person has that much brain, I’ll have to push him.’
There was something I always tried to think about.
The reason she came here was not to rule the country, but to create 3,000 concubines.
‘How can I make 3,000 women her concubines?’
So far, the number of women I have embraced in the royal palace is less than one hundred.
After becoming king, all the courtiers I embraced became concubines.
However, the position of the queen had to be carefully decided.
Nobles wanted to make a daughter of their family their queen, and I had to be careful in deciding who to be.
‘I can’t be a jealous woman.’
Her man should make 3,000 concubines, but shouldn’t a jealous woman become the queen?
‘In that respect… I think she’ll do it for her.’
The queen decided to think later, and continued to carry women even after becoming king, just as she held women in her princely days.
More active than in the Prince days.
“Huh, ah! Ahhh!”
“Hah~ah~!”
Added 2 new girls today.
It’s too far to go, so I’m diligently aiming for the waist.
“Aaaaa…!!!”
“Haaaaa!!! I, I’m dying… I’m dying!!”
Unusual energy since the time of the prince.
At one time, it was so excessive that it became the subject of suspicion.
However, even after becoming king, he did not rest his back for a day and teased him, so he realized that he was not simply showing off.
The new king likes women!
In a situation where the royal family was precious, the king’s good energy was nothing short of a blessing.
Nobles were willing to hand over their families’ women to the king to benefit.
Because he learned that even if the king refuses valuables, he does not refuse women.
Originally, for the royal family, stamina was an important virtue in evaluating the successor, so it was something to be delighted with when the new king had excellent stamina.
…It’s something to be happy about.
“Isn’t it…Too many?”
At first, the nobles, who were excited to serve their children to the king, began to panic when the king did not know the refusal.
“I heard that all the young ladies of noble families were brought into the concubines.”
“Who the hell are you thinking of making the queen…”
“I don’t think the queen would matter if it was this much of a woman’s pilgrimage in the first place.”
“That’s right. Children are important. Whose ship will have children…”
Since there were so many concubines, there were many nobles who thought that it was right for a woman with the king’s child to become queen.
It was because one of the concubines had a daughter from his own family.
In addition, the concubine palace was still bursting with tears, and it was not easy to add more women here.
Furthermore, the nobles began to think that it might be useless to offer a woman to the king.
Isn’t there a difference between the probability of being favored by entering one of 10 people and the probability of being favored by entering one of 100 people?
