Episode 423: Merit Award (3)
What was the most unconventional greeting at this event?
It was not Knight Commander Jonathan, Felix, or Fernando.
If they were fully predictable, the order to bestow the title of baron on Hans immediately after the coronation ceremony was truly unconventional.
Hans did not commit any crimes in the war.
Since he was just a servant, rising to status as a nobleman was a problem that even he could not understand.
Hans went straight to Roman Dmitry.
“… … The title of baron. “I don’t understand this undeserved award given to me.”
My mind was complicated.
Some people said to just accept reality, but in the world Hans lived in, reward without reason did not exist.
It was too much.
If he had a good record like Chris and Kevin, he would of course deserve an award, but at a time when the world was in chaos, Hans lived a life far from war in a safe space.
I asked for the truth.
Since he never once wanted to live a noble life, he showed his gaze begging me to tell him the truth.
really.
He was a fun person.
Hans did not take for granted something that would make ordinary people jump for joy.
Roman Dmitry said.
“Hans. The scope of non-public conduct does not simply apply to combat crimes. You have carefully managed my life while so many things have happened. And the being you served has now become the emperor of the Dmitri Empire. Why do you think it’s too much? “If you are someone who will have to manage the emperor’s life in the future, don’t you think you need compensation and a position appropriate for that?”
I was speechless.
people said
Hans is a happy being.
Although he was just a servant, the Dmitry family did not consider him simply a servant.
He respected Hans’ role and helped Hans’ family in many ways so that they could live without any inconvenience.
In fact, I did not expect this future when I first started working as a servant.
Servants are usually ignored and treated like tools, but Roman Dmitry treated himself as a person.
That’s not enough.
I’m giving you a title.
With his emotions boiling inside, Hans couldn’t figure out how to deal with this situation.
“In fact, asking you to live for me from now on even after giving you a title may be my personal greed. Hans. If you want, you don’t have to work as a servant anymore. However, if you wish to live for me in the future, I hope that you will accept the reward I offer to ease the burden on your heart.”
Passed the choice.
I wanted them to make their own choices without being forced to do so.
Hans kept biting his lip.
From the beginning, she never thought about life without Dmitry, but the mere fact that he respected her made her feel overwhelmed, as if she had received a great gift.
Dmitry accepted him into the family.
Our actions so far have proven that fact, and even now that we have made the leap to becoming an empire, we have once again spoken of the reality.
People.
Everyone has their own dream.
Just as each person requested different rewards in the public service awards, Hans received sufficient emotional compensation, regardless of the fact that he was given a title.
No matter what happens to Dmitry in the future.
This man, Hans, will live a life as their companion, wishing Dmitri peace.
“… … great. Of course it’s good. From now on, this Hans will live for Dmitry.”
I nodded.
Roman Dmitry smiled at the sight of him nodding vigorously and repeatedly.

International conference, a few days ago.
News of Hans quickly spread.
Whenever people gathered in groups, they all talked about Hans as if they had made a promise.
“Has there ever been a case where a noble title was given to a servant?”
“I can say without a doubt that there was none. lets think. The aristocratic society is so closed, who would give a noble title to a servant who was not born with it? This is truly unusual. “The Emperor, who was strict with war criminals like Ares, set a precedent of breaking down the boundaries of social status!”
Everyone was impressed.
In fact, Roman Dmitry’s attitude towards ordinary people was famous before.
Usually, nobles tend to look down on people who are not born in the same noble family, but Dmitry thoroughly respects the working class.
Giving ample value to professions such as blacksmiths and miners, Dmitry was called a land where discrimination did not exist.
Since the members of Haomoon were originally made up of ordinary people, such as waiters at restaurants and fruit shop owners, Dmitry’s characteristics became more prominent.
Even so.
Granting a title of nobility was a separate matter.
No one expected that Hans, who was just a servant, would be allowed to set a precedent of breaking down the boundaries of class.
A pub away from Dmitry.
Even though they were completely unrelated to Hans, they said this with red faces.
“This incident has proven His Majesty’s sincerity. He said that His Majesty the Emperor is unbiased in all matters, but even the punishment of Ares and Hans’ actions proved that his words and actions were consistent. “At least in the world we will live in from now on, Dmitry will not impose prejudiced standards on us.”
“I mean. As soon as I confirmed the results of this contest, I became convinced that I should move to Dmitry and live there. Kevin, Hans. These people are not born with noble birth. They were boys from the slums, mere servants, but His Majesty the Emperor did not forget the hard work they did for Dmitri and gave them ample compensation. This is truly the future. Dmitri never forgets the sacrifices of those who sacrificed their lives for this country.”
Trust is not formed in an instant.
Actions so far.
When we respected the working class, established a system for those who died in the war, and even showed an unconventional appearance at this non-public event, people raised their glasses and cried out for Dmitry.
I was happy.
Meantime.
The system of the Salamander Continent was truly miserable.

The Kronos Empire never once apologized for its mistakes, and many people suffered due to their persecution and ambition to conquer the continent.
It was not enough to defeat the Kronos Empire, which was a symbol of evil.
Roman Dmitry’s ideal system ignited people’s motivation.
Some people do.
Roman was afraid of Dmitry.
However, ordinary people who had nothing to do with power happily accepted the changing world.
Hans’s work.
From that day on, the people working for Dmitry became more motivated, and it was a story that everyone in the know knew.

Back to the present.
William was visibly embarrassed.
As soon as I confirmed that the other person was Hans, a warning sound alerted me of danger.
‘Damn it. ‘Why bother with Baron Hans?’
Dmitry List.
In the list, Hans was recorded as follows:
[Roman Dmitry’s closest associate. He has taken care of Roman Dmitry since childhood, and it is understood that they have a very special relationship with him. Roman Dmitry showed affection enough to send a gift directly to Hans’ party, and Hans’ family lives with Dmitry’s full support. The fact that Hans was granted the title of baron in this public service is a clear result of proving that Hans is Dmitry’s real power, so if you meet him in Dmitry, you should never ignore him just because he was a servant.]
Baron Hans.
He was a major figure.
So, I checked the photo countless times to remember his face, but William became distraught when he made such a ridiculous mistake.
What should I do about this?
In fact, treating a servant poorly was not a problem, but because the opponent was Baron Hans, thinking seemed to stop.
first.
I had to apologize.
Without even considering what was going on, William lowered his head.
“sorry! “I didn’t know it was Baron Hans, and I was rude!”
“no. “I think you could easily be mistaken, seeing as he behaves like this.”
Hans laughed.
William looked at Hans with a truly touched expression at his attitude of leniently overlooking the problem.
“It was rumored that Baron Hans had a great personality, and it turned out to be true. I will clearly convey this to the people of the Frankish Kingdom, including myself, to prevent this from happening again in the future. “This will never happen again.”
I gave up my pride.
King of the Franks.
He upholds Roman Dmitri like the heavens, so if he leaves room for problems for no reason, he will face enormous anger when he returns to Frankish.
The world has changed.
Dmitry was now at the center of power, and even if Roman Dmitry did not raise the issue, countries like the Franks had no choice but to be cautious.
It was natural.
In a world of meat and intestines, it was normal for all animals except the top predators to be cautious.
Hans spoke with the manager and said:
“All the parts the King of Franks wants have already been prepared. Although we were not specifically informed about this, we checked in advance what areas we needed to be careful about. “You don’t have to worry about that.”
Hans.
He was responsible for personally managing Roman Dmitry, but unless there was anything special, he carefully checked the affairs of the entire Dmitry imperial palace.
This was the same thing.
When I heard that an international conference was going on, I checked the information of the kings of each country and checked what they found uncomfortable and what they preferred.
The real power of the imperial palace.
Hans was faithful to his role.
Now that he has received the title of Baron, his position has risen, but he has not forgotten what he must do.
William was impressed.
Seeing him say thank you one after another, Hans smiled kindly.
“I hope you have a comfortable time here in Dmitry. And if you need help, you can always come to me.”
that day.
A sweet story was added to the people of the Frankish Kingdom, saying that Hans was a man with the dignity of a nobleman.

That time.
At the international conference held in the imperial palace conference hall, opinions were divided on one agenda item.
King Redford said.
“I agree with reviving the ranking system, but I cannot allow the winner to dare to challenge His Majesty the Emperor. His Majesty the Emperor is now in charge of the continent. “It is absolutely impossible to overstep the authority of the Dmitry Empire.”
“I also agree. It’s a swordsmanship battle. “How can we agree to such a dangerous thing?”
It was Daniel Cairo.
Representatives from each country.
Although they agreed to the ranking system, they had no choice but to be negative about Chris’s demands.
Previously, Roman Dmitry was merely the heir of a noble family.
At the time, it didn’t matter what hardships he had to endure, but as he became the emperor of the Dmitry Empire, something dangerous like this could never be allowed.
It was a sensitive issue.
Most people showed opposing opinions, but Roman Dmitry expressed his thoughts with an unwavering voice.
“I am a swordsman before I am an emperor. For me, who rose to this position with just a sword, proving that I am alive and well is rather asserting my authority as an emperor. “Do you think I will be defeated?”
“… … “Not really.”
“I hope to prove my authority in person, not through the position of emperor.”
In those words.
There was no more resistance.
As Roman Dmitry said, he had proven himself with just a sword, and it was unthinkable that he would be defeated by anyone.
Rather, I thought it was Roman Dmitry-like.
He did not avoid challenges just because he became emperor, but he said that he would prove himself every time, showing great confidence.
at last.
Chris’ motion was passed.
After confirming the introduction of the ranking system, Lucas took a step forward to discuss the next agenda.
“a few days ago. There is information received from Kronos. “Let me show you that first.”
gave a signal
When the wizards installed something, a magical screen appeared in front of everyone.
[The disaster has become a reality. The door of darkness will open. It is an unavoidable reality, and just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s nothing. Humans. Be alert. Get ready. Struggling! On the day when pitch-black darkness enters the world, humanity will face an unprecedented disaster.]
It was an oracle.
In fact, because of this problem, Roman Dmitry summoned representatives from various countries.
Lucas said.
“This is the contents of the oracle discovered in Kronos’ secret room. Alexandre’s existence has already proven that the demons of the Demon World are plotting something. And if the oracle’s contents are to be believed, the plan, which is already largely in progress, will plunge the continent into darkness in the not-too-distant future.”
Everyone’s expressions became serious.
devildom.
It was a serious problem.
Roman Dmitry revealed to the world the existence of the Demon World, and representatives from each country acknowledged that it was an unavoidable reality.
But there was no clear solution. The Demon World is a world that transcends the human realm.
Even monsters like Alexander were just their minions, so people had no choice but to be afraid.
There was silence.
In a situation where everyone was unable to step forward, Roman Dmitry looked at them and said with a calm face.
“The existence of the demon world has become a reality. As I promised the people, I will not stand by and take the lead in resolving this problem. Somewhere in this world, there exists a passage connecting to the demon world. “We don’t know when they will attack from there, so we will have to tremble in anxiety and endure an uncertain fear.”
It was a strange statement.
When the representatives of each country felt strange, a shocking statement struck them.
“Rather than waiting for them to attack, I want to attack them first through the passage to the demon world. That is why we held this international conference.”
