Chapter 144 – 15. The Age of Mooning.
After that, Aran bit the nobles.
They returned with overwhelmed expressions.
“Aran, I’ve said it many times, but this…”
“It’s not a good way. I know.”
In his heart his, he didn’t want to use it this way either.
That her wife would step in and take care of the case. This is tantamount to lowering his rank his.
However, there is no other way, because he is a king who has the worst condition ever for a man to be a commoner, so every action is restricted.
Even if they act the same, if an ordinary king is evaluated as a ‘king with a little flaw’, Aran will be evaluated as ‘this is why a man is…’ ‘This is why he is from a commoner.. .’ . Of course, if such evaluation spreads, it is inevitable that it will become more difficult day by day.
That’s why I thought of using wives to control the nobles like Illyana.
Coincidentally, among his wives, there are Iliana and Moae, who are full of social status.
“My sister has to sacrifice a little…”
“It doesn’t matter. It’s your wife. But I still can’t get rid of the idea that it’s not a good way. Even if you become a tyrant, it’s important that you are recognized first.”
“I can never be recognized. I felt it keenly. How important being born here is.”
I still remember the verbal abuse I heard from Juana.
No, I can’t forget
That way, they treat commoners as nothing more than bugs, and treat men like garbage.
And such people are prevalent in the aristocratic society, not just Juana alone. It is evident from the attitude of the nobles he had been through for a month, and from the attitude of the Uijeongjeon just before.
Status is given by heaven, so it is noble and must never be invaded. Since it was Aran who confidently penetrated it, it is only natural that all envy and jealousy would be focused on him.
If, at least, he was a man or a commoner, if he had done one or the other, it would be, unfortunately, both. It was difficult to imagine being recognized by the nobles since he had met the two lowest conditions in this society.
“You can gain a lot by giving up that one thing.”
“Is that it? The king is you, Aran.”
“It is my opinion that the king does not necessarily have absolute power. If he is not recognized anyway, I just thought it would be better to use someone who can be recognized to take over the court. Are you?”
“I will be with you.”
“Then the answer came out. It doesn’t matter if it’s like this.”
“…”
Illyana did not hide her embarrassed face of her, but eventually nodded her head.
The precondition of what he thought was that the women who took control of the court on his behalf must absolutely follow Aran.
In light of the traditional view of marriage, it was ridiculed for a woman to follow a man, but Illyana was determined to do so.
‘Aran… Politics is not that easy.’
Seeing Aran lost in her thoughts, she sighed inwardly.
I’m not very knowledgeable because I’m not interested in politics, but I’ve learned something from being in the center for many years.
Politics is organic.
It’s not something that can be easily thought of with an easy mind.
‘I hope it goes well…’

Mooning was happy these days.
It is understandable since he received a title from a commoner and even became the owner of the Mage Tower.
Besides, how strong her power is hers, with just one word from her, the administration’s budget could be adjusted within a certain range and the military’s supply system could be tweaked.
To see her as a mage tower, her powers were ridiculous, but that was in her now.
Of course, that doesn’t mean she’s the one to abuse it, but the fact that she has that kind of power makes people happy.
“What would he be doing right now…”
Now that she was laughing with a dazed face … She said it was all because of her late burning youth of her.
It is a non-stop research, but these days, this kind of thing is becoming more frequent.
It was painful at first.
She was so distressed because she was a woman she could never be with.
But now even that is sublimating into joy.
“Master!”
One of her women her pushed her.
It was only then that Mooning regained her composure and looked around her in all directions.
“Are you acting like an idiot again?”
“Ah…Ahaha. Sorry…”
Since she became the owner of the Magic Tower, she naturally had disciples.
She is mostly from a commoner background, and she also learns magic, but rather focuses on researching black powder, or gunpowder.
“You’re the one who always said that you must repay Your Highness with good results, isn’t it Master!”
Hehe…”
The woman who drives her with her boldness her is named ‘Ol Via’, and Munning finds her begging in the slums and takes her away her.
Unlike a commoner, she is bright and has a fast brain, so she is legal to learn magic and has an excellent talent for researching various techniques.
Above all, unlike nobles and wizards who only had big heads, she did not ignore Munning’s research her.
“You said that since most of us are from common people, we have to work harder!”
“Okay. I’ll do it.”
Mooning grumbled as if it was too much, but she devoted herself to her research.
Certainly, even if she thinks about it, she has been too much lately.
Still, a researcher is a researcher, so she immediately fell into research.
Her latest research was about how to stably handle the gunpowder, but that wasn’t easy.
“Teacher. This is a report on the experiments that have been conducted for the past month.”
Olvia held out the organized documents.
She showed signs of trying as hard as she could, although she couldn’t help being crooked because she had just learned to read.
“As you can see, there were 27 explosions among them, which we have set aside.”
Mooning received the papers with her moved face her.
Last month.
A total of 1,756 experiments were conducted in one month under the full support of Aran. This is roughly the same number Mooning has made over the years.
This is the power of numbers.
What would have taken years for her alone was accomplished in just one month with the help of many people.
Of course, that much money is being broken.
Olvia said to Mooning, who was carefully examining the report.
“We found something in common in all 27 explosions. Although they occurred under different circumstances, two conditions fit perfectly.”
“We have something in common…!”
What a beautiful sound
If you know the common condition of a phenomenon, you can cause it again by arranging it.
After all, if a national-level organization gives full support, the progress of the work is quite fast.
“First of all, the gunpowder must not get wet. And when the gunpowder is ignited in an ‘enclosed’ space, an explosion seems to occur.”
“Closeness…”
Munning blankly muttered the word.
There may be more conditions. But once you find it, it’s a huge discovery.
“Other formulations are also organized, so please take a look.”
Munning nodded his head and flipped through the report.

Nobles gathered.
They were very serious faces because there was a problem with the commoners recently appointed by Aran, and the authority of the aristocrats was declining day by day.
“I don’t know what the hell this is about.”
“I want only lowly commoners to wear it and go to the city…”
I would n’t dare do that in a place where Aran or his wives were present, but everyone here was using that expression and tone.
“What can I do? You’re from a commoner… Can’t you feel some nostalgia?”
“Let’s be careful with what you say. Birds listen to words at night, and mice listen to words at night. We are all dead on the day Mama knows.”
“Hmmmm…”
They shut up
Speaking of heavy war, it meant Illyana, one of Aran’s wives.
Recently, she shocked the aristocratic society by doing things like plucking out the eyes and tongues of nobles who were rude to Aran.
After all, blood can’t be deceived, and it follows the tyrant Cornelia as it is.
“As expected, the actual power of the home country…Is the middle war mother?”
“I don’t know. He says he’s not interested in politics, but there are things he’s seen and heard. How could he act like that? It means something.”
Her nobles were both afraid and wary of her.
“I am of the same opinion. I hate to admit it, but the King cares for you quite a bit. I will never do anything to hurt Your Highness.”
“If so, what’s the matter?”
“Well, we’ll have to wait and see. We’ll talk about that later. It’s not going to happen right away.”
“Grumble…”
The important thing now is how to do the common people’s business (?) That Aran is doing.
As the number of commoners without genealogies increases in this way, their positions become increasingly narrow.
“There is no proper way to check Your Highness.
“It’s a problem. It’s a problem.”
The women each clicked their tongues.
“Ah! How about attracting Persia instead?”
“You mean your motherland?”
“Yes. My country is not a subject country anyway. If it’s an order from Persia, I have no choice but to follow it.”
“But His Majesty the Emperor also cares for His Highness His very much.”
“Isn’t there someone who doesn’t?”
The nobles’ eyes were opened.
“…Are you referring to Her Highness Her Princess Juana?”
“That’s right. If it’s the words of the person who has been appointed as the next emperor, even if he doesn’t have real power, he can’t help but feel a lot of pressure. If he makes a problem with His Highness’s appointment as a commoner, and we get a just cause and join him, we can fully achieve his will. There will be.”
“Hmm…”
“But there are rumors that he also had a relationship with Your Highness.”
“Do you believe such rumors? How does Her Highness look like a great person who will be close to Her Highness her?”
“That’s not it…”
Judging from Juana’s personality her, she would never be friendly with Aran.
“If it cannot be resolved internally, it is appropriate to bring in an external force. Even more so, if it is the power of the motherland, there is nothing to be bothered about.”
