chapter 12
The world is changing right now.
The existing universal values were gradually declining, and the knights who cried for freedom and love have long since disappeared into the other side of history.
change your mind
Accidents change
The soul changes.
As mental thoughts gradually changed, people’s behavior began to change as well.
People no longer blindly believed in God, and no longer depended on God for their adventures.
People started to become more and more rational.
He took care of his own interests and began to take his power.
Realizing that the world is a single arena, the people struggled to survive in the arena full of intrigue and intrigue.
So talented people began to gather at the emperor.
In an era of cataclysm, geniuses began to show off their talents in various places.
At this point, the identity system was of no use.
If you have the ability, you will succeed; if you do not have the ability, you will sink to the ground.
Guilds were formed, and more and more commoners gradually became wealthy.
The world began to call them new nobility, and the new nobility was gradually gaining power using their wealth.
It had been a long time since the pope’s real power, which could unleash the power of inaction and dethrone the emperor with his fingers, fell to the ground.
A temple full of corruption and corruption could no longer be called a temple.
The issue was due to the issuance of indulgences, but the temple preached the bizarre teaching that indulgences can forgive sins in the present life.
People started buying indulgences, both of you.
As a result, carrion began to overflow in the temple warehouse, and people began to question the temple more and more.
In the end, the distrust of the temple piled up as it was piled up exploded.
In a country quite far from the Empire, a bomb called the Reformation had exploded.
This had a huge impact on the whole world, and in the end, a huge incident called the Argnon expropriation exploded.
In an area called Arnon, which is also called the holy site of the temple, a major accident in which a total of five popes exist at the same time has exploded.
As a result, the pope’s real power fell, and people no longer believed in God blindly.
The central values were transferred from God to man, and people began to gradually adapt to the new era.
When people’s minds change like this, the state’s movements also change.
The nomads in the north were gradually expanding their power, and the kingdom of especia in the west was accumulating wealth through maritime trade.
The Holy Ruth Empire in the south was also struggling with the Otman-Thurki Empire on the other side.
Despite the political and international chaos, the Empire has not changed.
A disgusting class society that still prevails, an aristocratic society that cannot rise to the top even with abilities.
These factors were eating some of the empire.
” ..a difficult question, Prince Rommel.”
“You can think slowly.”
The princess frowned while whisking coffee with a teaspoon.
Perhaps it was because she was deeply troubled, a drop of coffee fell on the white lace gloves that covered the princess’s entire arm.
However, the eyes of the princess were only directed towards my eyes.
Perhaps she was constantly looking for an answer to the question, and from the princess’s mouth came a deep, worried voice.
” ..I know that politics is constantly changing. Even if I boldly express my aspirations for the future in this little cafe, it can change depending on the situation.”
“That’s correct.”
That’s right, the princess is right.
Politics is always dependent on the situation and is active rather than passive.
That is why we must adapt to the coming wave of change and survive as much as possible in it.
A huge change to come, I asked the princess a question with its meaning.
“The nomadic peoples of the north are moving.”
flinch.
As soon as she heard that she was a nomadic people, her body trembled.
I started talking without hesitation.
“The Holy Rus Empire in the south and the Otman-Turkish Empire in the southeast are fangs at each other.”
The Holy Russ Empire, which was a powerhouse of tradition, and the Otman-Turkish Empire that is emerging as a new power.
Just as there cannot be two suns in the sky, the strong men in the south began to point their swords at each other.
“In addition, the kingdom of Spesia in the west is gradually getting older through maritime trade.”
The Kingdom of Spesha was adjacent to the sea.
However, the people of the world were afraid of the sea, and if they went out to sea, they often lost their lives.
An unidentified disease that started bleeding from the gums took the lives of countless sailors.
However, the Kingdom of Spesha did not give up.
In the centuries when our empire was crushed by the power of our empire, to overturn the disgrace of the past, they formed an adventure team led by Admiral Barse.
As a result, they succeeded in pioneering a new route.
And the newspapers and spices that constantly came in through the pioneered new route were bringing enormous benefits to the Kingdom of Spesha.
The Kingdom of Spesha was sharpening the blade of revenge towards the Empire.
“But what is our empire doing now?”
Numerous countries are being called out in their respective places.
It is not just the countries I mentioned, but similar events are taking place in distant continents.
Existing countries are destroyed and new ones are built.
A transitional era in which the existing pharmacy is transformed into a powerful country, and the existing powerful country begins to decline into a pharmacy.
Even in the midst of the winds of change, the Empire is not moving.
“I’m not doing anything.”
I got up and placed the crumbled shards of cookies in the center of the table.
And the rest of the cookie fragments were placed east, west, north and south.
The Empire in the center, the Holy Ruth Empire in the south.
Nomads in the north, Ottomans in the southeast – the Turkic Empire.
An empire surrounded by many countries.
If you have the strength, you can stretch out, but the current empire is a paper tiger.
It wasn’t strange at all, even if it was bitten here and there.
For example, during the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period, the Han Dynasty, which was called the Seven Ung (七雄) of the whole country, failed to develop on its own and collapsed because of the surrounding powerful countries.
The fact that it is geographically centrally located has the disadvantage of anticipating an invasion of other countries at any time.
“That’s why the empire must change. It must be strong, only then can it survive.”
have to be strong
Let no one cross over the empire recklessly.
If you want to block the invasion of other countries in advance, you need to make sure that no one can conquer the empire.
Times are changing, empires must also ride the waves of the times.
We have to change society, change the people’s consciousness, and change the country.
That way it won’t get eaten.
” ..it wasn’t that I got the wrong person either.”
The princess who listened to my five-minute speech gave a fresh smile.
The princess with a smile that young girls of that age could put on, looked at me with an alluring expression.
“Prince Rommel, I will not give up on you either.”
I trembled slightly at the gaze of the princess who looked at me with her snake-like eyes.
“After all, Confucius should be my tutor.”
The princess got up from her seat and held my two hands together.
“Stand by me, Griff Rommel.”
When the princess slowly started approaching me like that.
I reflexively took a step back to get away from the princess.
Can not be done.
If there is an accident here, or if anyone sees it.
The situation escalates out of control.
Of course, the scandal about the princess will come back to me, and as a small aristocrat, I will not be able to survive in this harsh society.
I heard that she was a kind and warm princess, but the appearance of the princess was very different from the rumors.
Which one is the real one?
Is the benevolent and warm princess her true nature, or is the princess who simply shows such an attitude to recruit me for real?
Even in the midst of confusion in my head, the princess slowly began to approach me.
at that time.
“Princess, you called…”
Bump.
Inyoung came in with the door open.
A girl with red hair and eyes like blazing fire entered the room.
Wearing a pretty cool sword on his waist, a pretty uniform that proves that he was a student at the Montegro Academy.
And a fluttering short skirt.
Edinburgh Rosé, she saw us.
” what..? “
” net.. “
“Princess..?”
something that happened suddenly.
Perhaps the princess had not expected this situation, and she was staring at Rosé with her eyes wide open.
Rosé-senpai also saw the appearance of the two of us, and his face began to grow red like Hongshi.
“Ew…why are you here…?”
“Ro..Rosé? This…this is a misunderstanding. It’s a very complicated matter.”
“That..that..excuse me!”
Boom!
The princess, who realized the situation late, approached Rosé to explain the situation, but Rosé quickly closed the door and left.
And we had been looking at the door that Rosé had left for a long time.
Thoughts were different, but it was clear that the two of us probably had the same expression on their faces.
