Episode 465 Epilogue, Last Outing
It was an unexpected visit.
Upon hearing that Roman Dmitry had come to visit, Romero Dmitry smiled brightly and welcomed his son.
“Okay, is everything okay?”
“It’s always the same.”
“You are the emperor of the Dmitri Empire. Many lives depend on your health, so always take care of yourself first. And eat the healthy food that your mother sent you. It’s so effective that I feel like I’ve been rejuvenated. “Cluck.”
He laughed cheerfully.
Dmitry and his wife talked about everyday life.
Romero Dmitri constantly asked questions about how he was doing, whether there were any special problems, and whether he didn’t want to waste time with his son, who had been visiting for a long time.
By the time the conversation reached maturity. He looked at his son’s thoughts and asked in a cautious voice.
“… … By the way, are you not thinking about getting married yet?”
marriage.
It was the Dmitry family’s biggest problem.
Although he was on a roll with the founding of the empire, his eldest son, Roman Dmitry, was refusing to marry, so his worries grew deeper.
The second son and youngest son have already adopted companions. Now that all he had to do was send Roman Dmitry away, Romero Dmitri wanted to know his eldest son’s true feelings.
and.
There was something emotionally disturbing about him.
“If the desire for marriage has disappeared due to the breakup of the engagement. I was really sorry about what happened back then. I shouldn’t have treated you so harshly just because my marriage fell apart, but even I couldn’t hold back my anger at the moment. Son. I don’t want you to get married like you’re being pushed off your back. If you find someone you really love. “No matter who the person is, this father will be truly happy, so feel free to introduce her to me.”
Breaking off the engagement was disgusting.
A problem that breaks my heart just thinking about it.
Fearing that he might be holding back his ankle, Romero Dmitri carefully uttered each word.
Father’s heart.
understood.
And he never ruled out marriage because of his concerns.
‘I can’t do something for which I am not responsible.’
The truth couldn’t be told.
I laughed.
Roman Dmitry looked his father in the eye and told him the reason for coming to see him.
“It is only my own choice not to get married. father. After ascending to the throne of emperor, I had a lot of time to reflect on my life. Every time, the thought that came to my mind was gratitude to my father. Even when people pointed fingers at me, my father always stood by my side and supported me in whatever I did. thank you “I am truly grateful that Romero Dmitri was my father.”
“… … .”
I swallowed my words.
My son looked different from usual.
He is not a son who expresses his emotions so directly, but when he said that he was grateful to have him as his father, I felt like tears were falling.
I felt like a burden on my mind was lifted.
Seeing Roman Dmitry avoiding marriage for the past three years, Romero Dmitry was heartbroken, fearing that it was his fault.
“Thank you, son.”
happy.
So the son left.
Romero Dmitri, who was reflecting on his conversation with his son, suddenly felt regretful.
‘Instead of ending with just saying thank you, I should have expressed more sincerity. Just as my son showed courage, I am also truly grateful that I have you as my son. Even during the times when you were called Dmitri’s idiot, you were always the son I really loved.’
It was okay.
Because this is not the only opportunity.
Romero Dmitri, looking out the window, felt that the sunlight shining on him was very warm.

After the Hector Valhalla incident.
Chris was still busy.
As he showed outstanding administrative skills, he became a necessary talent in any field.
It was the same that day.
As he finished his morning training and was processing his documents, he met an unexpected visitor.
“Your Majesty the Emperor!”
“You look very busy.”
“No, please come in.”
It was Roman Dmitry.
It was a first time.
Although there were times when he visited in person when something important happened, Roman Dmitry never came first.
It was unexpected. As Chris, who had given up the head table, looked at him with a questioning look, Roman Dmitry continued the conversation with everyday stories.
Then suddenly.
He said something strange.
“chris. The events of Valhalla and Hector were able to be completed successfully thanks to your quick action. But what if? “If I didn’t exist in this country, do you think you could have prevented their conflict?”
“… … “What is that?”
“It’s just in case. “I want to hear your thoughts.”
It was a random question.
Chris, who had been thinking for a while, looked at Roman Dmitri and said.
“The reason this world is peaceful is because His Majesty the Emperor exists. If His Majesty the Emperor did not exist, things would not be resolved as easily as this time. But that’s it. Dmitry had a solid foundation serving His Majesty the Emperor. Even without His Imperial Majesty’s halo, Hector and Valhalla cannot disobey Dmitry’s orders.”
“Yes, as you said.”
It’s people’s mistake.
Dmitry is the illusion that Roman Dmitry is everything.
The truth is different.

This country grew with Roman Dmitry, becoming more powerful than people knew.
Roman Dmitry said.
“This country is strong. Even if it excludes me, it has enough national power to rule the entire continent. chris. You are a person qualified to lead a new era. When I first met you, you were lost in the wrong direction, but your talent was better than anyone else’s. Therefore, among the people who received my teachings, you were the only one who had to become strong on your own. You had the ability to do that. “He had enough talent to grow even if he did that.”
Chris’ eyes wavered.
I felt overwhelmed.
For Roman Dmitry, it was the first time he had heard such an acknowledged statement.
“You can be proud of yourself. As the ranking match stage proves, you are clearly next to me.”
“… … !”
My eyes widened.
The conversation ended like that.
After Roman Dmitry left.
Chris had a blank face.
The laughter that kept coming out made me think that I was such a no-nonsense person.
‘This is what I really wanted.’
I finally found out.
He was not simply trying to surpass Roman Dmitry.
meeting him for the first time.
Chris’s world was in turmoil.
From the day I faced this untouchable being, I had a strong desire to be recognized by Roman Dmitry.
My dream of surpassing him.
The reason I kept trying even though I knew it wasn’t possible was because I hoped Roman Dmitry would one day recognize my progress.
So I constantly proved myself.
Even though I was cruelly broken by the sword, I tried again and again to hear at least once a remark that acknowledged me.
I kept laughing.
The place where Roman Dmitry left.
It seemed like I couldn’t continue working today.
* * *
dump.
“Whoop, whoop.”
Kevin, sprawled on the floor, was breathing heavily.
After meeting Roman Dmitry.
He devoted himself to training like crazy.
Even though the world was at peace, he worked tirelessly to remain necessary to Roman Dmitry.
It was then.
“It’s still the same.”
“… … “Master?!”
I jumped up from my seat.
It was Roman Dmitry.
I hurriedly got up and stumbled for a moment, but quickly regained my bearings and looked at Roman Dmitry.
At that look.
Roman Dmitry said.
“Kevin. “Why are you trying so hard when you’re strong enough?”
It was a familiar question.
Several months ago.
Kevin had asked the same thing.
Roman Dmitry, who worked hard even after defeating the Demon King, responded that he did not understand that life.
I hesitated for a moment.
Kevin, who was organizing his thoughts, spoke in an unwavering voice.
“I’ve had a lot on my mind since I spoke with you, my lord. My lord, whom I cannot dare to touch, is constantly pursuing development, so why am I becoming complacent with reality? The reason was lack of purpose. The purpose of becoming stronger. Rather than simply trying to become stronger only when there are enemies, I want to become someone who can solve any problem that arises in the future. My lord, my family, and everyone in Dmitry. No one can touch them. “I will make that happen.”
It was a strong desire.
Kevin has regained his original appearance.
If any trouble arises with Dmitry, the first thing his enemies will encounter will be Dmitry’s demons.
I laughed.
Among the followers of Roman Dmitry.
Kevin wasn’t the strongest.
Right now, he lost to Chris every time in the ranking match, and with people like Edwin Hector improving day by day, he couldn’t be sure that Kevin would win forever.
But aside from those facts. If asked who he trusts most, Roman Dmitry could say without a moment’s hesitation:
“Kevin. You are the one I trust the most. “Because you are here, I don’t worry so much about my absence.”
A being who was initially a boy.
Now it has suddenly grown.
Looking at the intense eyes looking at him, Roman Dmitry felt the passage of time.
“You never know what will happen in human life. If problems arise that Dmitry’s people cannot handle, I hope you will solve them. “What I am about to tell you is the price of the burden you will have to bear in the future.”
I was sure.
Chris and Kevin.
With the two of them, Dmitry will live forever.
“Heavenly Demon Sword Technique. I will tell you its finished form.”

It was a sunny afternoon.
Roman Dmitry walked through the city.
Past and present.
Dmitry faced many changes.
In the past, as a city of blacksmiths, the city was decorated with solid buildings, but now it has become a splendid city befitting the status of an empire.
No one recognized Roman Dmitry in his robe. People were chatting loudly and enjoying the moment in front of them with faces immersed in their daily lives.
‘When I first walked down this street. I needed to understand this world.’
Roman Dmitry.
It was an unfamiliar name.
Roman Dmitry went out into the streets to adapt to the newly changed world and met an old man in the slums.
went there
Shacks with damp feet and unpleasant smells.
There were no traces of the past anymore.
Dmitry carried out extensive renovations to improve people’s lives, and at least there were no slums in the capital of Dmitry’s empire.
It remained as a memory of the past.
Looking at the traces of the slum’s existence, Roman Dmitry recalled the memories he had seen and heard there.
Then, quite by chance.
I listened to the conversations of people who reminisced about the past just like me.
“It’s really changed a lot.”
“This is all thanks to His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry. Since he ruled this world, nothing has become worse than before. All the people who were begging on the streets got jobs, and the economy was revitalized as they spent the money they earned. I mean. Sometimes I think that maybe His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry is a gift from God. “If demons from the underworld had attacked in a world where Kronos and Valhalla rule, we would never have been able to survive.”
“yes. “People remember the conquest of the Demon World, but none of the ordinary people took that risk.”
Roman Dmitry.
That was the reason he was recognized.
The crisis did not feel like a crisis.
His choice to take risks as a leader made people appreciate the fact that he was the leader of this world.
passed them by
From the streets to the slums.
After the slums, the blacksmith shop.
I recalled memories of the past.
He was about to head to the restaurant he last visited with Hans, but a familiar voice stopped him.
“Your Majesty the Emperor! “You are here.”
A man running towards me, panting.
He was Hans.
* * *
This outing.
Not reported.
And even though he was wearing a robe, Hans immediately recognized that the robe was Roman Dmitry.
“How did you know it was me?”
“Of course I have to know! It has already been several decades that I have served His Majesty the Emperor, but now I can immediately recognize His Majesty just by looking at his form and gait. But why on earth did you go out without saying anything? Your Majesty the Emperor, you are the one who can decide everything on your own, but if you had given me a word, wouldn’t you have made all preparations to avoid any inconvenience? and… … .”
Hans was talkative.
He must have been surprised that Roman Dmitry left without saying a word, so he continued to chatter.
It was a familiar picture.
Hans walks ahead.
The image of myself walking behind him.
It was like that then too.
As we headed toward the restaurant, Hans was beside us, chattering away about how dangerous the situation was.
Conflict with the Blood Fang.
Hans stayed by his side even though he knew it was dangerous.
When Roman Dmitry left him behind, he ran to Knight Commander Jonathan and told him to protect the master.
“Hans.”
“Please speak.”
“When I first lived in this world. Next to me was a person named Hans. You always took for granted what you did, saying it was your responsibility, but your presence helped me find stability in what could have been a confusing time. So, there was something I really wanted to say to you someday.”
“What is that… … .”
It was something I couldn’t understand.
When I lived in this world.
Hans took care of Roman Dmitry since he was a child.
Hans stopped walking for a moment and tried to look back at Roman Dmitry, hearing a strange remark about reminiscing about his childhood.
It was then.
“I was lucky to have met you for the first time in this world.”
In those words.
My heart sank.
Tears came to my eyes.
In a situation where he even described himself as lucky, Hans felt an emotion that could not be expressed in words.
It was the same with him.
People thought of Hans as just a servant.
But Roman Dmitry did not consider him only a servant.
It was family.
Hans earned the title of nobleman by taking care of his own life, taking care of his family, and simply being faithful to his duties as a servant.
The feelings were not one-sided.
Just as Roman Dmitry said in the past that emotions are mutual, he also felt grateful for the feeling of giving back as much as you give.
I turned my head.
Looking at Roman Dmitry, he wanted to convey his true feelings.
however.
“… … “Your Majesty the Emperor?”
There wasn’t.
Roman Dmitry, who had clearly been following him just a moment ago, was nowhere to be seen no matter where he looked.
“Your Majesty the Emperor? “Your Majesty the Emperor!”
Hans looked around.
I desperately called and looked for Roman Dmitry.
But no matter how much I called again and again, even as the sun was setting, I could not find Roman Dmitry.
Not just that day.
From that day on, it continued.
* * *
White space.
A person stepped into a place where there was no one else.
[Roman Dmitry. Now is the time.]
Last 3 years.
Roman Dmitry had a grace period.
God said that Roman Dmitry must leave for the sake of this world, as he had first promised.
“Know.”
It was an unavoidable reality.
If reality could be changed by cutting down God, Roman Dmitry would have gladly had God as his enemy.
But I knew that was impossible. The reason Roman Dmitry cannot live in this world is because of the rules of the dimension.
If you insist on not leaving this world, your existence will cause cracks and the world will one day meet the same end as the Demon World.
It was unacceptable.
So I accepted reality.
Because it was something he had planned on doing from the beginning, Roman Dmitry reacted calmly as he faced God’s will.
[I have a question. Last 3 years. Why didn’t you do anything?]
someday.
I knew I had to leave.
Still, I didn’t do anything special.
He immersed himself in training every day, preparing for an enemy that Dmitri could not handle.
Although he should have been sufficiently compensated even for a short period of time by spreading the word about his sacrifice in the neighborhood, he calmly maintained his position.
Why?
I couldn’t understand.
Even as a god, he couldn’t look into the heart of a mere human.
“There is no special reason. “Even if I lived just one day, I lived like a human being in my position.”
Roman Dmitry.
Emperor of the Dmitry Empire.
As a leader, he prepared for danger and did not make a fuss about life having an end.
It was a simple problem.
Even if there was no conclusion that he would have to leave this world one day, Roman Dmitry would have lived the same life as he does now.
It was a choice to leave no regrets.
Acting differently and putting down one’s life depending on the future ahead was not true to one who lived a life of struggle until the end.
I just accepted reality.
Roman Dmitry was a man that even God could not understand.
[One last question. Have you ever regretted your life even for a moment?]
The answer has been decided.
People said his choice was a sacrifice.
But Roman Dmitry thought differently.
From beginning to end, the life that Roman Dmitry lived was for himself.
“does not exist. Not even for a moment.”
[is it.]
Roman Dmitry wouldn’t know.
Isabel thought Roman Dmitry was inactive because he was worried about the dimensional rift, but in reality, God protected Roman Dmitry’s existence.
So that he can live fully. Even though life has a predetermined end, don’t leave at least a glimmer of regret behind.
Roman Dmitry lived a daily life.
God was considerate of him.
That was it.
It was the only way God could express his gratitude to the being who took on all of humanity’s problems.
[Roman Dmitry. You were the most inhumane person I’ve ever met, yet more humane than anyone else.]
Hwareuk.
Grumbling.
A fire broke out.
The sacred power flared up, destroying the space where Roman Dmitri existed.
[I will sincerely bless the new life you will face in the future.]
Flash.
Crumbling.
The blazing light engulfed the world.
This was not the end.
It’s just the beginning for a new future.
Even if he cannot live as Roman Dmitry, he will definitely live his own life wherever he is.
