The Returned Sword King Decided to Become a Tyrant Chapter 127
King of the Sky? (2)
When morning came, there was a small commotion in the palace.
“Those are… goblins and kobolds, right?”
“Mom, why are the monsters’ corpses here… … .”
Blood and corpses scattered on the floor.
The sight of her being torn to pieces in such a horrible way made the weak-stomached maids vomit.
It was such a rare sight to see.
“Clean it up as you see fit. Don’t leave any traces.”
“Yes, Your Majesty. But what on earth are these corpses… … .”
“Does the order to clean up need further explanation?”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
I gave this order to the palace servants and moved forward.
Even though his expression was already tired and he didn’t even want to get close, he couldn’t refuse the order.
Soon, the servants started moving busily to clean it up.
Baron Vidor confirmed it and followed.
“Your Majesty, are you planning to go there now?”
“I guess so.”
Those guys who dared do something like this in the palace garden.
It was necessary to find them, if only to prevent the same thing from happening again.
Because it was unreasonable to expect those new heads to have self-purification.
I took Baron Vidor out of the castle.
“Oh, welcome, Your Majesty.”
A temporary enclosure set up in an open space outside the palace. As we entered, the enclosure owner came out, wiping away cold sweat, looking extremely flustered.
It was an expression like he was caught in something that would be embarrassing if he got caught.
The reason was, of course, guessable.
“Where are they now?”
“That, that… … please come this way.”
The zookeeper guided the group with such resignation.
And what they found there was a fence that was so broken that it was unrecognizable… …
… … Peep?
Inside were griffons huddled together, preening their feathers.
The zookeeper quickly explained the situation as if making excuses.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Actually… … I think the griffons went out last night. When I checked in the morning, it was already like this.”
“I know, too.”
“… … Ah, did these kids find the castle again?”
“I found it, after all.”
The only problem was that it caused a commotion.
The zookeeper continued explaining the situation as if he was unaware of such circumstances.
“Fortunately, all thirty returned safely. We were investigating the situation to see if they had caused any harm to anyone nearby. But… … Did they attack anyone?”
“I didn’t attack.”
“Phew, that’s a relief.”
Yeah, to be exact, I didn’t do any damage. I was just annoying, literally.
I approached the guys with a frown.
tweet!
Tit-!
The guys flapped their wings to welcome me as I approached.
Did they say they were creatures with a firm hierarchy? Based on the way I showed them before, it seemed clear that they were treating me as their superior.
It also feels like a mother raising her child… … .
‘It’s even more annoying that there was no malicious intent.’
Perhaps bringing the monster’s corpse was a kind of repayment.
As evidence, the guys’ eyes were filled with anticipation, as if asking, ‘How was it?’
Of course, the only people who would like this situation would be scholars who have discovered a new side of the baby Hwansoo.
“For the time being, I will take charge of their education.”
“……yes?”
The zookeeper’s expression became blank at my sudden words.
“Are you saying that His Highness the First Prince will personally train the griffon?”
“okay.”
Right now, the guys were looking down on the rest of the humans, except for me, who had enough power to overwhelm them with just my presence.
So much so that it’s uncertain whether he’ll even listen.
‘Then I should let you hear it.’
It was annoying, but there was nothing I could do about it.
At the very least, make them follow humans. That’s the kind of education they need right now.
‘If you keep rolling, you will hear what I say.’
Such a theory naturally applied to monsters as well.
The chirping of birds rang out clearly, oblivious to what would happen next.

“… … What is that?”
“It’s a griffon.”
“… … .”
George, who returned to the palace from the North late, witnessed an absurd scene.
tweet!
Beep beep!
The sight of birds the size of a man’s torso rolling around in the garden.
And the one commanding it was none other than the First Prince.
“Has that guy finally lost his mind… … .”
“Ahem! I wonder if His Majesty has an idea as well.”
“Are you saying that we capture those birdies and train them like soldiers?”
There was no way to describe it other than to say it was absurd.
To be honest, it was by far the greatest prince’s antics I’ve ever seen.
The Baron, who would have been angry and corrected his tone, only awkwardly tried to dissuade her.
“… … But surprisingly, it is effective. Recently, there have been fewer cases of unnecessary commotion.”
“If you roll around like that, you won’t be able to make a fuss even if you’re tired.”
“… … .”
Baron Vidor slowly averted his gaze.
In fact, the griffons seen outside the window looked extremely tired.
It looked like he was going to lie down and faint right away.
But it wasn’t a lie to say that the commotion had died down.
“Great! Anyway, we should be thankful that it is under control like that.”
“No, is it just that much?”
“You can’t compare it to a normal baby animal.”
I don’t know about George, who just arrived in the palace, but didn’t the Baron clearly see the trouble those little griffon chicks were causing?
Actually, the first time I brought a monster was for medicine.
After that, the griffons realized that the 1st prince was not in a good mood and brought more monsters.
‘The eyes of the servants who had to clean the garden every day were pitiful… ‘
Putting aside that pitiful look, what crime did those who cleaned it up commit in the first place?
Thanks to this, the monsters that were occasionally found outside the capital dried up, but as a result, many people had to shed tears.
Of course, there were other commotions as well.
He even caused an elderly landscaper to fall over after munching on the grass in the garden.
There was even an incident where he tried to fight a lion statue that was decorated in the palace due to his poor eyesight.
Finally, he smelled food and entered the palace.
… … He was literally a troublemaker.
“Because of the commotion that occurred every day, the palace was never at peace. It was fortunate that it had research value, otherwise, I don’t know what His Majesty would have done.”
“… … .”
“There was a reason why the zookeeper’s face was getting thinner.”
So, just the fact that something like that doesn’t happen anymore was considered an achievement.
The Baron, who was sticking his tongue out at the past events, suddenly looked at George and asked.
“Hmm? By the way, George, why did you stay in the North?”
“I guess it’s just a waste of time.”
“Jam… … Processing? What is that?”
“To put it simply, it means that I have taken over all the work.”
George wiped his tired face and clenched and unclenched his fists repeatedly.
“When I came to my senses, that gentleman had already returned.”
“……ah.”
Baron Vidor’s strange sigh continued.
George, who was right in front of us, was also going through something just as pitiful as the zookeeper.
“… …Cheer up.”
“Will that give you strength?”
“Ahem!”
But contrary to those words, George’s face was full of smiles.
Of course, the Baron had no idea why.
If we look at it only in absolute terms, the fact is that he is the one who handles more work than anyone else.
The Baron was surprisingly a person who was relatively comforting to just look at.

After finishing their training, I came up to the office.
Then he said to George, who was glaring at him with a pointed face.
“You’re back.”
“… … Yes, well. I saw you training the bird squirrels well.”
As expected, George nodded his head as if he was listening, and then suddenly said this.
It seems he was not happy with the fact that he was entrusted with the work and came to the palace first.
But the conversation about work was never done hastily.
“The work was completed faster than expected.”
“I’m talking about the work of reinforcing the fortress.”
“Should I say that the dwarves’ craftsmanship is amazing? Or should I say that having all the reinforcement materials was a great help… … Anyway, if it stays that way, it should be fine for 100 years.”
“I see.”
The citadel on the new northern border was successfully reinforced.
The crudely built castle of the past was gone, and a single castle wall reconstructed with the skills of the dwarves had been created.
It wasn’t an ordinary wall either.
“It seems that they have gained some know-how from building the fortress in the Galder Plains.”
“You said you even took care of the design.”
“We changed the structure itself here and there to make it difficult for the axes thrown by the barbarians to reach the top of the wall.”
Then he handed me the blueprints for the new citadel.
I looked at it, and then nodded.
“This should be enough to stop them.”
“Can I take a closer look?”
“This is something I already know.”
“Yes? This is the blueprint drawn after His Majesty left?”
George narrowed his eyes, looking puzzled. But I just shrugged.
‘It certainly helped.’
When construction work on the fortress on the former Galderd Plains began.
I once described the structures of future walls to dwarves who had no experience building walls.
What was drawn on this blueprint was the essence of the castle wall structure that was taught at that time.
But you’re able to fully utilize the knowledge you’ve learned in less than a year?
That in itself was a great feat.
To begin with, I only gave them a brief explanation, and it wasn’t like I gave them a grand lecture.
But the guys did it, and what’s more, they adapted it to the barbarian context.
Although I didn’t show it on the outside, I was secretly surprised.
“What about the dwarves who reinforced the citadel?”
“There’s no point in stationing them there, so I brought them all here. I’m going to have them finish fortifying the plains.”
“Not a bad decision.”
I smiled and rested my chin on my hand.
I also liked those small instructions because they were in line with my thoughts.
“Bring the person in charge of reinforcing the wall. Give them separate instructions.”
“Are you bringing it right now?”
“Yeah. It’ll get busier from now on.”
The fortification of the Galder Plains was not something that could be completed with just building walls.
Perhaps it will become even busier, and there will be no more work to be done.
“Oh my… … This is going to get harder.”
The guy came out of the office groaning like that.
Judging from the fact that he was holding his waist as if he was tired, it seemed like he was annoyed that he had to start work as soon as he got back.
* * *
The place George’s footsteps led him to was the royal villa where guests staying at the palace stayed.
But the villa had long since turned into a place where dwarves resided.
It was natural, since it was Esteban’s palace where guests did not come and go often.
“Are you going to the First Prince’s office now?”
“Yes, well. That’s what happened.”
“Okay, I’ll just finish getting ready and then I’ll go out.”
The dwarf quickly got up from his seat at George’s words as he came to the villa.
Rather, I was waiting to be called. I had to receive instructions to return to the plains as soon as possible so that I could return to my treasure trove.
This palace, as I’ve felt before, is such a static and boring place.
“Now please guide me.”
“Come this way.”
So the dwarf started moving towards the office, following George’s guidance.
Because it was a time of waiting, it was a quick pace that did not suit his short legs.
But the movement suddenly stopped when it was passing near the garden.
“… … Hmm? That?”
“That thing? Oh, it’s called a griffon.”
“griffon?”
The griffons were resting in the garden after training.
A moving dwarf discovered it.
At that moment, the dwarf opened his mouth, looking very interested.
“They are really tough guys.”
“It’s so brave, it’s a problem. It hatched from an egg that Your Majesty brought back a while ago.”
“Oh, as expected. Even our fairies who can handle the beast tribe have a hard time finding griffon eggs. They are truly amazing.”
“… … Yes? What are you talking about? Dealing with the recovery?”
George asked, embarrassed, and the dwarf answered nonchalantly in the midst of his doubts.
“Huh? What are you talking about? Isn’t it common sense that those beasts react to the blood of the fairies?”
“… … !”
“Is it possible that this knowledge is unknown to the people of this era?”
Suddenly, George’s eyes opened wide and without any explanation.
