Episode 462 Epilogue, New Days (6)
It was an absurd suggestion.
What he said while holding out a blank paper would never have been taken seriously if the other person had not been the Marquis Valentino.
‘He’s probably sincere.’
Several months ago.
There was one incident involving the Marquis Valentino.
There was a work of art he coveted, but the other person said he could never sell it because it was his father’s memento. It wasn’t a lie to raise the conditions.
In fact, since he is a person known to those around him for being very stubborn, I thought there was no other way for Marquis Valentino to do this.
A few days after that.
Marquis Valentino sealed the deal.
The other person had a ridiculous dream of having his own island, and I really bought Odelia’s deserted island and offered it to him.
And that includes a villa where you can stay for the rest of your life. The other person couldn’t help but roll their eyes, and people were talking about how brightly the other person smiled that day.
That was Valentino.
He, known as the greedy collector, now looked at Chris with serious eyes.
Chris said.
“I understand Marquis Valentino’s will. I know this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but if you offer more than that, I can’t accept it. It is not simply because of its symbolism as a sword bestowed by His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry. Even after looking at the performance of the sword itself, I have no confidence that I will find a better sword than this in my future life.”
“I agree with that. But we will find an alternative.”
“It’s not possible as an alternative. If you’ve researched me, you know what I’m after.”
A ranking match held every year.
Chris went on stage every time.
Trampling on challengers who tried to take his place, he repeatedly took on the impossible challenge of surpassing Roman Dmitry.
Every time, there was something like a certainty that took over my mind. Even though his skills are lacking like this, if even the performance of his sword is inferior, there is no chance for him to win.
Unlike Kevin, who couldn’t sell anything because it was a sword given to him by Roman Dmitri, Chris’s reason was for practical reasons.
blast furnace.
No matter what terms Marquis Valentino proposed, Chris had no intention of even considering this deal from the beginning.
“The closer the skills are to each other, the more the game is decided by just a single point. If that moment comes, I will forever regret selling the sword. I know how Marquis Valentino feels. “If I sell this sword, I will definitely put the Marquis first.”
“… … “Will that moment ever come?”
“You don’t know what’s going on in the world, right? “If I defeat His Majesty the Emperor and am recognized as the best sword on the continent, then I will not be concerned about the sword’s performance.”
In those words.
Marquis Valentino’s expression distorted.
It seemed like they were saying that there was a way, but everyone in the world knew how absurd that was.
“It’s me, Chris. I thought he was a good person, but that’s not true. “If you don’t like it, you say you don’t like it, or you say something ridiculous like that.”
There was no need to calculate.
The moment that Chris talks about when the dream comes true will never come.
* * *
The commotion came to an end.
Marquis Valentino showed a sloppy reaction even before they parted ways.
“Chris. There will always be hardships in a person’s life. When you’re so tired that you take a moment to catch your breath, when you fall to the floor and think you can’t get up anymore. Turn your head and look where I am. I will always be by your side, Chris. If Chris reaches out to me, I will gladly hold his hand and help him move in the right direction. Please keep in mind. I’m always on Chris’ side. of course… … “First No-Name is all that is needed to pay for this blind love.”
He was truly a great person.
As I was breaking up with him, I thought that perhaps because of his crazy side, he may have become the richest man on the continent.
In reality, that was the truth.
If he had not encountered Roman Dmitry’s sword, which fueled his desire to collect, Marquis Valentino would have lived in a well called Cairo.
I took a step back.
I headed to the office.
Now that the morning training was over, it was time to take care of the work that had accumulated in front of one’s name.
‘The relationship between Valhalla and Hector has been unusual recently. It seems that the bad relationship from the past continues. As Hector expands his power as a magic kingdom, he will inevitably come into conflict with the Valhalla Empire.’
It was a sensitive issue.
Chris and Kevin.
The two were part of an independent unit.
While Fernando, a member of the Royal Guard, was responsible for protecting the imperial palace, Chris and Kevin moved solely under Roman Dmitry’s orders.
Chris does public work, and Kevin does secret work. The issue of Valhalla and Hector was during Chris’s work period, so it was necessary to prepare in advance for any emergency.
just as expected.
When I arrived at the office and had just turned over some documents, a soldier delivered urgent news.
“Chris! There’s a problem. “It looks like Hector and Valhalla are trying to get along!”
Tuk.
I put down my pen.
Chris leaned back in his chair and showed a cold expression.
“okay?”
The world was peaceful.
However, the fight over interests was a separate issue from peace.
* * *
The conflict between the two countries originated from one incident.
a few days ago.
Count Khazri, who runs a business in Valhalla, made a deal with Baron Stuart, a nobleman of Hector. There were no problems up to that point.
Just before the deal was finalized, the situation started to get serious when Baron Stuart made a deal with someone else who offered better terms.
It was an ordinary problem.
Although it was a very common occurrence in the commercial world, Count Kazuri reacted with great anger at the other person’s attitude.
“How dare a mere baron drink water to me?”

Nobles of Valhalla.
They are imperial citizens.
Although they were defeated by Dmitri and things were not the same as before, they still had pride as an empire. Hector touched the reverse.
It was clearly a problem that could be overlooked, but Count Kazri felt that he was ignoring him for no reason because of the fall of Valhalla.
It was a manifestation of inferiority complex.
As Valhalla’s unique warlike tendencies revived, this anger could not be resolved except through violence.
Attacked Baron Stuart’s carriage.
He disrupted the upward movement and hit Baron Stuart in the face, who was yelling, “What on earth is this?” Fortunately, there were no deaths.
If it had been 3-4 years ago, the incident would have ended like this, but King Edwin Hector, who currently leads Hector, reacted with great anger as soon as he was informed of this incident.
“This incident is clearly Valhalla’s fault. “If Valhalla does not personally apologize for this, I, as King Hector, will never remain silent.”
This was the current situation.
In a situation where he went from Hector to King, Count Kazri was belatedly losing his temper.
He was immediately summoned to the central government of Valhalla. Naturally, he expected a reprimand, but he heard something unexpected from the Emperor of Valhalla.
“Hold on.”
“… … yes?”
“This issue was not meant to turn into a fight between countries. But why do you think Edwin Hector took the initiative to escalate this matter? He needs a reason. He has a plausible cause to directly cause conflict with Valhalla and somehow raise Hector’s status.”
recent.
Valhalla and Hector clashed at every turn.
There was no special dispute.
As Hector expanded his power as a magic kingdom, problems arose as he no longer treated Valhalla the way he used to. It was a time to look at each other.
If he took a step back from here, a situation could have occurred where Valhalla, an empire in appearance, would be completely pushed out by Hector.
Count Kazri and Baron Stuart.
The two were just justifications.
When Hector escalated the situation by appointing Baron Stuart, the Emperor of Valhalla also stated that he could not step down.
“In this world ruled by Dmitry, the country that occupies the place next to him can enjoy wealth and fame. Cairo and Hector have secured priority in the continental war, but that does not mean their positions will last forever. Valhalla will definitely prove the power of the empire and take the place next to Dmitry.”
It was a strong voice.
I had absolutely no intention of being hostile towards Dmitri.
however.
However, there was no intention to exclude power.
“I will process as ordered.”
Count Kazuri laughed.
Valhalla is looking after you.
There was nothing better for him.
But the joy is short-lived.
As Valhalla did not officially handle this matter, Hector requested magical communication within a few days.
* * *
Beyond the communication screen.
Edwin Hector appeared.
He, who had taken over the throne through formal procedures, looked at the leaders of Valhalla with a cold expression.
[There is no law anywhere in the world to attack the other party just because a deal was not concluded. It’s a simple problem. Count Kazri made his mistake, and we hope for an apology for that. If Hector sticks to his current attitude even when the answer is clearly given, Hector has no choice but to doubt his intentions.]
He pointed out the mistake openly.
The atmosphere was cold and frozen.
In response to Edwin Hector’s point, the Emperor of Valhalla, who was sitting at the head table, opened his mouth.
“King Hector. This matter is a personal matter. If Baron Stuart had personally requested an apology from Count Kazri, we would have tried to work things out. But with Hector taking the lead, we were no longer able to do that. Even if Count Kazri was at fault, it was Hector’s fault for making it a problem between countries.”
[So you’re saying you can’t apologize?]
“Yes.”
[Valhalla is now mistaken. Empires and kingdoms. Even though I show respect, its meaning has faded, except for Dmitry’s empire. However, trying to ignore this issue just because we cannot accept Valhalla admitting its mistakes is ignoring us. Emperor of Valhalla. Do you really think this is right?]
I crossed the line.
It was as expected.
Even if Hector had a cause, this was a matter of national pride.
“Don’t cross the line anymore.”
[All right.]
Edwin Hector’s expression became cold.
Negotiations broke down.
[Please do not regret this choice.]
Tuk.
Unilateral termination of communication.
As the screen turned black, Valhalla’s leaders were speechless.
* * *
“… … “Is this the right response?”
One of the leaders said.
Edwin Hector’s final remarks.
It left me feeling uneasy.
He, known as Hector’s Star, was not someone who would just suffer.
As the attention of the leaders was focused, the Valhalla Emperor met their gaze with unwavering eyes.
“Valhalla is currently going downhill. The Continental War was lost, and we did what we thought was right and swore allegiance to His Majesty, Emperor Roman Dmitry. That is how the current Valhalla was created. To restore the glory of the past, to revive the romance of Valhalla. “We are here.”
The expression changed.
He was once a nobleman, but now he has the dignity of an emperor.
“No matter what happens in the future, preserve our dignity as an empire. Be a warrior. “In order to protect our position, there will come a moment when we have to deal with things that we think are wrong.”
Everyone here.
I found out the truth.
This problem is Count Kazri’s fault.
However, neither Hector nor Valhalla had the will to solve the starting problem.
A battle of pride.
Hector put up a fight, and Valhalla just didn’t back down.
It was then.
Jump up!
“Your Majesty the Emperor! “We’re in big trouble!”
The driver opened the door and entered.
People’s attention was focused on his pale expression.
“Just now. They say Hector has crossed the border of Valhalla!”
This makes it clear.
As soon as the situation went wrong, they crossed the border.
Edwin Hector had no intention of improving relations with Valhalla from the beginning.
