Chapter 192 – Chapter 5: King – 6
The Iron Lady?
It was an unfamiliar and unexpected sound that I had never heard before.
Joseph didn’t even notice. He couldn’t even think of stopping the nobles’ sudden remarks and hesitated.
However, except for Robret and Joseph, everyone knew about the ‘Iron Lady’.
Everyone was so surprised that their voices became loud.
“That person?”
“That’s right! “Of course!”
What on earth does this mean?
Why do the Deseo nobles recognize Tia, whom they have never met?
What’s even more surprising is… She also said that she greeted Rudi Piolo, who was the first to recognize her.
“It’s been a long time, Sir Piolo.”
“I’ve been looking for it for a long time. “Where have you been, Mrs. Modales?”
Robert became dumbfounded.
Is this a play made up on the spot by nobles? Or is it a terrible trick to belittle Tia?
No. I had never heard of either.
Tia looked around her. The faces of the nobles seemed familiar.
Look around, say their names correctly, and even nod and greet them.
Even the stubborn nobles welcome Tia and ask about her current situation.
Watching the girl naturally blend into them.
Robert and Joseph were at a loss for words.
Teacher Bean let out a helpless laugh.
“The Iron Lady is Tia? Hehe…”
“Mr. Carlos. What does ‘Iron Lady’ mean?”
“It’s a story I also heard at first glance. In fact, she was the woman who led this war from the beginning.”
Those who started the war were the Deseo nobles.
The dissatisfaction with the king that had been building up for a long time finally exploded.
However, Robert also knew that they were ‘the same nobleman.’
The noble family never moves easily.
They are so busy trying to keep up with the money that they are forgetting their reputation and saving their money. I didn’t think I had any courage left to start a rebellion like this.
However, one woman moved the hearts of these arrogant nobles who were like blocks of rock.
She said he was… The Iron Lady.
“He suddenly appeared at the fall banquet and proposed mass-producing weapons by purchasing the mining rights to the iron mine in Lawtonbahn. Several major families invested a huge amount of their wealth in her, resulting in the current situation.”
It was the ‘Modales Company’ that purchased the iron mine and made weapons.
The company, whose identity was unclear, only existed for exactly one month.
This was because King Deseo, who noticed the atmosphere of rebellion, immediately dissolved the council.
However, it is said that he hid his identity so thoroughly that even though he raided the Modales Company, he was unable to arrest anyone.
The weapons that had already been produced were distributed to various families and each private soldier was armed.
That’s how the war began.
Nobles searched for the Iron Lady after the war.
However, it turned out that the family called ‘Modales’ did not exist, and the area that was claimed to be the territory of Modales did not exist.
From the beginning, her existence itself was an illusion.
She suddenly appears and awakens the spirit of the nobles.
She is a woman who suddenly disappears after giving victory.
Is there such a heroic war and achievement?
From their perspective, she could not help but be felt as a messenger of God.
“That means… Are you saying that this war was all caused by Tia?”
“Maybe.”
The three knights saw Tia mixed among the nobles.
The sense of discomfort I felt just now did not exist.
As if it were natural.
Like the king of Deseo who leads the nobles of Deseo.
Tia was there.
“… I guess so.”
* * *
There was no opposition to crowning Tia as her king.
No. To be precise, I should say that I could not object.
Most of the influential families came forward to support Tia.
They had invested a lot of money in the Modales Company and were hoping to gain the most from this war.
Tia fulfilled their expectations.
It was promised to confiscate the property of the fallen newly rich in the name of the king and then distribute it according to the performance of each family.
I don’t know how a mountain girl could make such a bold promise to the city nobles.
Anyway, the decision was extremely reasonable.
“The legitimate heir of the royal family led this war to victory. Do we need another lord?”
Those in power said they would treat Tia as king based on this logic, and there was no one who could object.
In this way, the queen’s accession to the throne was finally decided.
Of course, this process was not without noise.
It was a discussion about what to do with the queen’s husband – ‘Posao’.
Tia had the right to rule this country because she inherited royal blood, but Posao was a commoner and nothing.
I can’t believe I have to live with such a lowly person in the sacred royal palace. It was a terrible thing for the nobles.
Also, no matter how fancy he was dressed up, he often turned around and spat on him because of his ugly face and fat body, which could not stand the majesty of a king.
“There is a small island off Deseo in the central sea. It is a famous resort with a great castle, plenty of food, and great scenery. Previous kings also used to enjoy vacation there. “How about letting your husband stay in the castle there too?”
It was a polite request to send Posao to her remote island.
“I don’t want to do that.”
However, Tia, who generally complied with the nobles’ demands, did not back down for some reason.
“When I was at my hardest… He was the only person who comforted me and protected me. “I don’t think I should become arrogant now that I am king.”
Tia loved him more than anything in the world, and he said he couldn’t because they had promised to be together with him for the rest of their lives.
Moreover, he ascended the throne himself due to a rebellion against the previous king. When asked what the world would think if the king betrayed his husband again, the nobles had no choice but to keep quiet.
“I am a woman before I am a queen. Since ancient times, a woman has protected her family and supported her husband. “As the queen, shouldn’t I set such an example so that all the people can uphold the values of tradition?”
In doing so, he did not choose his father’s old name and great dynasty name, ‘Likene’, but kept the name ‘Modales’.
She declared that she was Po Sao’s wife.
Instead, she accepted her proposal and Tia became the only ‘queen’ with full ruling rights.
It was decided to appoint Posao as a ‘state wife’ rather than a king.
It was her first command as queen.
Although she somehow put an end to the throne issue. There were still many anxious views.
To be honest, the current time was extremely unfavorable for Tia.
Although the war ended relatively peacefully, Deseo was still suffering from the aftermath of the war.
Tia had to prove herself by how she handled her death neatly and without any problems.
But what would that young queen do?
Most nobles naturally had no expectations from Tia.
Only those who were drooling over what kind of profit they could make by taking advantage of this chaotic moment muttered, ‘It’s a good thing.’
Scarecrow King.
Tia was a very suitable king who was just like that.
In reality, it was like that. The nobles did not ask Tia’s opinion.
All she did was point her knife at a large pancake called ‘de seo’ and discuss how to divide it.
However, that dream was dashed when the ‘royal palace invitation’ arrived.
It said that a grand banquet had been prepared to congratulate the nobles on their victory, so please attend.
A banquet given by a king. Because agents could not be sent to such places, the heads of the families had to go in person.
“The country is in turmoil, and they are suddenly holding a banquet. “She is definitely a young queen.”
“Haha. It may be annoying, but you think it’s a bit of a waste of time. Anyway, it seems like the queen is definitely on our side. “Isn’t it all a good thing in the end?”
The nobles laughed as they imagined the world they would become from now on.
Without knowing that it was a huge misjudgment.
The ‘banquet’, which was originally thought to be a one-day event, strangely ended up being extended by a day or two.
Afterward, even the news disappeared.
Soon everyone learned that the heads of the family were imprisoned in the royal palace.
“Your father was imprisoned in the palace? What on earth does that mean?”
“The queen said she would hold on and not let go…”
She said she really enjoyed the banquet at first.
However, when night fell, Tia gathered them all in one room and asked for their help to resolve the pending issue.
The words were a request, but in reality, it was closer to an ‘order.’
She stayed up all night asking them about politics and learning about it.
When the morning comes, we gather again. We eat breakfast, lunch and dinner and get together again. She listened to various advices and solved the accumulated problems.
What to do with the prisoners, whether there is any compensation for the fallen, how to reorganize the city, issues regarding diplomacy, etc.
The nobles realized that they would not be able to leave the palace unless all issues were resolved here and now.
Still, I couldn’t object. The queen protected everything that needed to be protected. She wasn’t threatening, she was just asking. It was none other than them who accepted her request.
Besides, the queen works that hard with her pregnant body. When she complained in front of him, she lost her respect as a noblewoman.
The only way was to escape as quickly as possible with as much help as possible – that’s what they concluded.
The lucky thing was that Tia was a genius.
In particular, he had an outstanding talent for understanding.
Even if she just gave her advice, saying, ‘Kings used to do it this way,’ Tia immediately understood her intention and applied it to her current situation.
If you teach one, you will know ten. How can that cliché fit so perfectly?
I thought she was a kid. Since I didn’t know anything, I thought I would just follow whatever they told me to do.
It is said that the nobles turned blue as they looked at Tia, whose monarch’s appearance was gradually reflected day after day.
The nobles were under pension for about 5 days.
In the meantime, I finished everything. It was an unprecedented speed of work.
When they were released, I expected quite a few complaints to come out here and there.
Rather, the leaders remained silent and refrained from commenting.
What a terrible king they brought to that throne with their own hands.
It was because I saw it with my own eyes.
Can’t royal blood be deceived?
Or does the place make the person?
When that question finally came to mind, Tia already had the dignity of a king.
“The coronation ceremony schedule has been selected. I ask for His Majesty’s approval.”
“… “I understand.”
Robert accepted the letter given by Joseph.
Coronation.
A ceremony in which the king places a crown on his head while nobles and people watch.
After the coronation ceremony, ‘Tia Modales’ is now announced to the world as ‘Queen Tia.’
Jeez. Jeopuk.
The lonely knight walked the long corridor alone.
On the wall were portraits of past kings in golden frames. All of them were men.
As if I was walking through the history of Deseo, I walked bluntly at the end.
There was the king’s bedroom.
No, now it should be called ‘the queen’s bedroom.’
As Robert approached the bedroom, a servant stood blocking the hallway.
“You cannot meet us right now.”
It seemed like there was a passenger.
Robert had no choice but to stand there and wait.
Around that time, a short period of time passed.
Rattling-.
Suddenly the bedroom opened and someone came out.
He thought it was Tia, but the fat figure that soon appeared denied his guess.
“Nuhuh-.”
It was Posao.
He waddled down the hallway, dragging his ill-fitting, colorful coat across the floor.
“Nihihi…”
Then he took a bite of the bright red apple in his hand.
He chewed so much that the juice leaked out of the corner of his mouth as he passed by Robrt.
“…”
The lone knight could do nothing.
What happened in the queen’s bedroom just a moment ago.
He had no right to ask him, nor could he find out.
At the end of the hallway blocked by a servant. Looking at the bedroom door that was tightly closed.
I just hope the two of them had a good time… I just had to imagine that.
How did this happen?
Everything.
Everything has changed.
In the past, he had told Tia to wait until dinner.
But now he is waiting here to receive Tia’s call.
Since they were a knight and a commoner, the two people were difficult to get close to.
After becoming a king and a knight, they became distant again.
Kkwaak-.
He clutched the letter in his hand.
If that day, that time.
Instead of making Tia wait, she would have gone to pick her up herself.
… Would the results have been different?
“You can go in now.”
The servant who was blocking his path finally got out of the way.
Jeez. Jeopuk.
Robert took his stiff steps again.
After standing in front of the tightly closed reception room, I straightened my clothes.
Clear your cough loudly and speak in a loyal voice.
“Your Majesty the Queen. “Knight Robert has arrived.”
“Please come in.”
Clutter.
He opened the door and entered the room.
Below a slightly dark room with a high ceiling.
The queen sat quietly in her seat, with her back to the window where the sunlight came in.
Robert’s eyes wavered.
Beautiful.
Even though it was not an official activity time, and I was dressed simply.
She was truly beautiful in the queen’s clothes.
However, it was rude to look at the king’s face for a long time.
Realizing his mistake, Lovrt quickly lowered his head and fell to his knees.
“The vassals have set the date for the coronation. There are five proposals in this letter. I hope that His Majesty will find a good day and announce it.”
“Can I choose?”
“Yes.”
“All right. Hmm – I think this would be a good time. May 15th. “It’s consecration day.”
“Yes. We will prepare according to that date.”
Tia’s decision was made in an instant.
Likewise, this was the end of Lobrt’s mission. Now that he has the queen’s answer, all that remains is for him to inform the nobles.
It was when she was on her knees, waiting for Tia to tell her to step down.
“Lord Robert.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Mr. Robert. “Please stand up.”
Robert was startled by the sudden change in title and stood up.
Mr. Robert.
That… Tiaga was the title she used to call herself when she was a commoner.
The queen asked quietly, pointing across from her.
“Can we sit together for a moment and talk?”
And the moment I see that mischievous smile.
I vaguely remembered the scene at that time.
Riding horses to your heart’s content, sitting on a rock and eating biscuits.
She looked at her fields with her.
