《Finally a competent lord》
Chapter 1: Amnesia (Revised)
As I opened my eyes, and I noticed I was in a forest. It seemed relatively quiet because the only thing I could hear was the birds singing.
I tried to remember what I did before, but I couldn''t remember.
Where am I?
How did I get there?
Why am I in a forest?
Wait. And who am I?
I have asked myself a lot of questions. But I had no answer. My memories were completely gone! Still, I have knowledge, knowledge that would have any modern man today. And I also have my personalknowledge.
I did notice that I had medieval clothes and I had the feeling that I wasn''t in my own body.
Not only I was lost on who I am. But I had no idea of what to do in this situation. I didn''t find a phone or anything to guide me and finding a solution to Who I am. Therefore I had to think of where I am ... But I didn''t know either because I could ask nobody and there was no sign of a location in that forest.
By not knowing what to do, I started wandering in the forest after walking for about 20 minutes in a random direction beforeI see a small village.
It was a medieval village in poor condition, the buildings made of woodwere degraded, some doors were half broken. And the people were lying in torn clothes.
"Thief!!! I''ll cut off your hand" said a poor looking guy about 30 years old who was holding a 13-year-old half-anorexic looking child, with brown hair and blue eyes on the floor with a deep angry voice on the ground.
The boyanswered with a voice of despair and non-willing to even fight.
"If I don''t steal something to eat I''ll starve to death, do you think I''m scared to lose my hands? "
I couldn''t believe it.
It''s been a long time since we stopped cutting off thieves hands.
Instinctively. As the duty of a civilized man. I had to protect that child!
I took my breath and shouted vigorously as I walked towards them, with adisgusted look.
" Hey, Hey !!!!!!!!!! YOU !!!!!! What are you doing to that poor kid? "
The Man and the kid turned around and looked at me with a shocked look.
Then, they both knelt down.
...
"Your Majesty, It''s an honor to see you in this small village. He''s a thief I caughtstealing food. I was going to apply the punishment according to the rules your general made. " Said the man with a respectful tone.
And the boy was terrified at me.
I was dumbfounded by what they did and say, and I didn''t understand anything. It is true that people all had medieval clothes, Could it be an act? No... No child would act to the point of being anorexic. I decided to help him, and it seems I was the lord of this land. So if I told him to release the child, he must do it, right?
¡°I see, I see¡ I''ll take care of that child myself. Don¡¯t worry he won¡¯t steal you again, leave him to me. ¡° I said calmly and confidently.A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
"Of course, Your Majesty?" the man was looking at me incredulously
the boy looked down shamefully.
The man frees the child, but the child does not seem to want to go towards me.
The looks on their faces were like I wanted to abuse that child sexually, well anyway I can¡¯t do much about it since I can¡¯t save his hand from being cut while keeping face. I am okay with it.
Some people started watching the scene. Fortunately, there weren''t too many people.
¡° Come, child ! ¡° while talking in an authoritarian way.
The child was strolling towards me, and once he reached me, I whispered to him.
¡° Don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t do anything to you but asking some questions.¡±
I wanted to understand better the world I live in. Otherwise, I wouldn''t be able to survive once the family of the previous owner of this body, would see me. That is why I planned to take the child and me into a place where no one could see us.
¡° DO NOT FOLLOW US, OK? ¡° I shouted to the crowd.
I took the child by the hand and went towards the direction of the forest with him. The child was still scared. It¡¯s normal anyway. Imagine being at his place. He probably thought that he would get raped!
When we were far enough so no one else could listen to us, I started talking to the child with my usual tone. I started with something natural, so he''d be less stressed.
¡° What is your name, kiddo? ¡°
¡° my name is Tole, your majesty.¡°
¡° Do not worry. I am not here to rape you or anything bad. But I will ask you some weird questions that you must answer, and please don''t question it and honestly answer my questions are you okay with it ?¡±
"Yes, Lord !" Said Tole.
"Good, let''s start with who am I? "
after thinking for at least five seconds, Tole started talking.
¡°I think you are a beautiful and strong lord, that have the gentleness of ruling the little country that has been given to you ... ¡°
The child was even fearing to look into my eyes when he was saying his lies, and his whole body showed he was lying. I decided to interrupt him.
¡° Stop, stop lying, I told you to answer honestly. I want only the truth, you hear me? So let me repeat, Who am I? ¡°
Tole, became a little scared and started speaking quietly.
¡°You are Charles Constantine... son of Arthur Constantine.¡±
he took again 3 to 4 sec before saying his next sentence.
¡° you had inherited the small kingdom of Tyrn when your father died of sickness last month. ¡°
¡° How old am I? ¡°
I was looking like a late teenage boy, and I wanted to know my exact age.
Tole had a face that looked surprised.
¡°17 years, Your Majesty? ¡°
¡° what the people think of me? ¡°
Tole hesitated before speaking but finally started talking.
¡°I¡¯m sorry for what you will hear your majesty, but you told me to tell you only the truth so I will. The people think you are a useless good looking lord. The general of the army makes all the decision because you never participate in the political decision of the kingdom, you always try to enjoy your life, and flirting with women.¡±
People have a bad image of me, but that''s fine because it can improve over time.
¡°Do you know how many kingdoms there are in the world and what kingdoms are near and if there is a war?¡±
¡°Sir, it is impossible to know how many kingdoms there are in this world ¡ The world is an endless place, Isn''t it? The nearest kingdom is Archa and one of the strongest kingdom around here. War? Why would we have a war when we have so many troubles dealing with the monster and goblins around. ¡°
The world an endless place? It''s probably because he''s still young and has to learn.
Goblins? Monster? Is this a fantasy?
I tried something that seemed very instinctive to me.
¡° Status open.¡°
Nothing appeared, but the child was filled with misunderstanding.
¡° Your majesty, I don¡¯t understand the question. ¡°
¡°Well, that''s okay. I have one last question. Where can I find my home? ¡°
Tole pointed to me the direction.
¡°40 min walk to there from here.¡±
I started going in the direction, but Tole didn''t seem to follow me.
It''s too bad because I was considering taking him with me, he seemed like a good kid.
¡°You don¡¯t follow me? ¡° I said with a disappointed voice.
Tole smiled while leaping in joy.
¡° I can? Come with you to the capital? Really? ¡°
¡° Yes, come on! ¡°
It was the beginning of the adventures of an entirely new lord, But also the beginning of Tole¡¯s adventures. For me to this insane new world, for him to this ordinary, usual unfair world.
This is not a chapter
I am aware of the comment that people would rather have a slower, more detailed story.
But I don''t want a boring story, where characters do nothing but chatting non-funny stuff or passing most of the chapters just describing things in the world instead of living it.This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
thing is, I have thought how to make " normal situation " interesting but it doesn''t seem I find the way to do it in my novel. I will try to re-adapt my story if I get inspired. For the moment I have to think of a way to improve it before continuing it in a wrong way.
If I don''t find the way to do it the way I want, I will probably drop the novel.
Still, thanks for reading.
Chapter 2: Strategy is important !
During the course I''ve noticed that the Lands were extremely fertile, the water was abundant and there was no lack of space.
He told me more about how severe the lack of food that the population was suffering. It was because most of the food was used for the soldiers to fight the goblins the soldiers represent more than 25% of the population. We give the resources to the military, and the rest went to the nobility.
He also told me about the relationships I had. But it was mostly with the general Dener Losinski. My father and mother died, and I was the only son of the family. And others than all the women I was spending time, I had no real friend, which is good because if I chase the women away, only the general Dener would be able to notice any change in my personality.
We were close to the capital, and I had to ask him a question before we would be with the rest.
"What about magic? Is there is any magic In this world, Tole ?"
"Magic? The elves, the dragons, the spirits, and a lot of species can do magic. There are also tools that can do magic like the blue seeds that give the world''s information about everything around us. A magic item is scarce, but among them, blue seeds are one of the most common ones. Our country has two of them, But that is sadly the only magic items we have."
The capital is surrounded by walls, and the wall wasn''t that big. It was mostly military building, Inn, stores, and forges. A way larger and a better-maintained house was in the center was the seigneurial domain. It wasn''t as big as the castle were in the past but it was probably because our country was little and poor.
Tole and I joined the seigneurial domain, The people in that place were a lot more coated, had beautiful, clean clothes and imposed a certain standard of outer respect.
Three nobles, two women, and one man reached me and said politely.
" Glad to see you, my Lord. It has been a long time since you came here. "
I was stressed to see them coming at me as he knew me, I hope I don''t have to say their names.
"I''d like to introduce two of my friends, This is Anna Circonvsky, and this is Laura Delores."
"Hii. " Said the two girls with cheerful voices.
Damn it! I only have 2 out of 3 names.
"Excuse me, But who is this boy? "
Says the Man by showing Tole with his hand.
"He is Tole, a commoner that I took to have a better understanding of the living conditions of my people."
"Nice to meet you, Denis Losinski. Son of the general Dener Losinski." Said Tole.
Thank you, Tole!
"You have some information, Tole. Charles, I''m leaving you. I have to see my dad. If you want to contact him, I can address him a message for you. Otherwise, you can see him. He''ll be near the border tomorrow morning."
Tole was proud.
" Thanks. You can tell him I''ll see your dad tomorrow. Denis. "
"Now that Denis is gone. Would you like to come to one of our rooms?" whispered Anna with an erotic voice.
" No, I''m gonna go wash up and get some sleep. I''ll get up early tomorrow to see General Dener."
"How unfun. " Says Laura.
"When you''re less interested in taking care of these peasants. You can always come to see us. My lord " Says Laura.
After we found a room for Tole, I went back to my room. I was asking me a lot of questions.
We were always in a society where the nobility discriminated the majority of the population. Maybe since I''m Lord, I could change that.
In any case, I needed to know more about the world and kingdom in which I was. And for that, there will be no better person than General Dener.
*************************************************************************
It was a very bright day. Because I couldn''t ride a horse, I walked to the border.
The walls that bounded the kingdom were not very large. And at the entrance of the road stood a door guarded by two soldiers.
As I approached the door, I said.
"Let me pass !"
"Yes! your majesty " answered the two guards spontaneouslyThis book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work.
The moment the doors opened, I could see men and goblins fighting head-on.
An old bald man, slightly removed from the battlefields giving orders. It was general Dener.
" SOLDIERS!! FIGHT WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT!! FOR TYRN''S HONOR!!! WILL ONCE AGAIN BRING US VICTORY IN OUR COUNTRY"
While watching the battle, I could see warriors showing bravery to face there dead so close to them. On this battle, out of the 1000 soldiers present approximately 80 died.
It may seem like a small number, but seeing it with our own eyes. That still leaves 80 people dead. And 8% chance for every soldier to die. Could you fight knowing there''s a chance of death? Them could give their lives for the kingdom.
But something tormented me... Why do soldiers fight head-on with goblins? Why don''t they set traps? Why are they fighting in such chaos? An organized approach should work much better. I wanted to ask the general.
As I approached general Dener, he saw me.
" Oh, Your Majesty! I''m glad. You could see the military prowess of our soldiers."
" It was a good fight from the soldiers ... But Hmmm... What were the strategic plans for the battle? "
" Strategic plans ? " says the general showing a certain incomprehension.
" You know, using the battle, using the field to our advantage. Formation, deployments, and stratagems. A simple idea would be putting holes for the goblins to fall in."
" My lord, it is the first time I hear about that. But my battle experience has always shown that the strongest and bravest always wins. We never lost a battle due to strategy... Only because the monster was stronger than our army! "
Is he stupid? Of course, a monster won''t use strategy, especially if he''s stronger than you naturally.
It was at that moment that I realized that my people''s military knowledge was only individual and dedicated to strength.
But as we were talking. About 250 others goblins and one hobgoblin could see.
"Damn it! This is the second attack today, it must have been a year since we''ve had two consecutive attacks. We really have no luck today! "
"Excuse me. Dener, but I will take command of the army right now."
Before I even gave him time to answer, I shouted, "EVERYONE, WE RETREAT TO OUR WALLS."
Once the army was behind the walls, I asked an archer.
"Could you shoot an arrow with all your strength in the direction of the goblins?"
"Sir, I know I''m a good archer, but even if I shoot an arrow with all my strength it would never reach them, they are too far. "
" I know that! Just shoot! "
The archer fired an arrow that traveled 150 meters.
" I told you it wouldn''t touch a goblin. "
" It was planned, I want all the archer to be ready to fire, and at my command, You all have to shoot your arrows with all your strengths, OK? "
When the goblins approached the arrow, I waited for another five meters, and I shouted.
"FIRE !! "
Almost all the arrows did hit goblins. Around 50 of them died. And more were injured.
" Prepare to fire the second shot!"
"FIRE! "
The second time only half of the arrows touched goblins. But it killed 50 of them because some of them were already injured.
"Now it''s time for the swordsmen to shine! Rise above the walls! Archer, as long as you don''t shoot an ally. I give you the go-ahead. "
It was unfortunate the walls were only made of wood, the goblins will easily be able to pierce through the wall. Besides, this world''s goblins were pretty good at climbing walls.
The little goblins had already reached the walls.
" Swordsmen! Kill Every Gobelins that goes through your sword''s range. "
The fight was going very well without any deaths so far. But it didn''t last long.
The hobgoblin reached the walls and with his arm destroyed the wall. Three soldiers on the wall fell and probably died.
"I WANT ALL THE SWORDSMEN CLOSE TO THE HOBGOBLIN TO JUMP ON HIM! TRY TO AIM FOR THE EYES! "
The first soldiers who jumped on the hobgoblin were killed. But very quickly the hobgoblin was overtaken, and he ended up dying quite quickly.
The last remaining goblins from the battle have begun to run away.
21mens were dead on this battlefield. It could improve if we if we had prepared holes, Larger and more opposing walls, and fire to ignite the arrows. But it was way better than the way our general was fighting...
The soldiers couldn''t believe the outcome of the battle. They thought it would be a fierce battle where there''d be a lot of death. But it was one of the easiest battles they''ve ever had.
" Praise our Lord !!! "
" This way of fighting, strategy, he calls, is surely coming from the Heavens itself! "
" Thanks, Lord! Because of you, I can live one more day. "
" Our Lord is a military genius! "
The general Dener still couldn''t believe his own eyes.
They make it like it was awesome but ... It was pretty natural! They''re the ones who have no military skills!
At that moment a soldier interrupted my thoughts.
" Lord !! It''s a good new !! We found a blue seed on the Hobgoblin !!" says a young soldier with a happy face.
He raised his right hand, and you could see a fluorescent blue light coming out of the seed in his hand.
" THE THIRD SEED OF OUR KINGDOM !!! " he says with a victorious tone.
" OUAAAHHHH " you could hear the sound of a crowd and the joy of the soldiers.
After the crowd calmed down, I kindly asked the soldier
" Could you give me that seed, please? "
" Of course! "
The sparkling blue of the seed was very attractive when the young soldier gave me the seed, and it made in my hand, Something appeared in front of my eyes!

STATS !! Finally! It was the stats of the soldier in front of me, but when I started thinking about special abilities and another screen shoes up.
|
You don''t have enough proximity to get information about special abilities.
|
The seed was very attractive. And it said I wasn''t close enough to the seed. There was only one thing my instinct told me to do. Eat it.
" Do someone knows what will happens if one eat the seed? "
No one answered. The soldiers, all raised their shoulders.
The soldiers fight for me, are ready to die for me. Eating the seed might poison me. But I had to try! I was too absorbed by the seed, and I put it in my mouth and swallowed it.

starting the initialization of the symbiosis, access to the full data parameters...
|
While the window popped up in my mind, I lost consciousness.
Chapter 3: My kingdom
When I wake up, I was lying in a bed. I saw a pop-up window despite having my eyes close.
|
Symbiosis completed, All the system data is available.
|

When I opened my eyes, I could see I was in my room. And I saw a blonde teenage girl in a maid''s uniform looking at me.
"Majesty! You''re awake! It has been more than a day since you passed out. A lot of people were concerned about your state. Are you feeling all right? "

"I''m fine. I''m wonderful... *thinking about status* AhAhAhAh... Thank you, for worrying about me."
"Lord, are you sure you are okay? You are acting in an unconventional way today. I was told that you ate a magic seed. "
" Don''t worry, Lea. I was just happy. I don''t need anything. You can tell the others I''m fine. "
"Okay, in that case. I''m going to leave you, Your Majesty. Have a good rest. "
After Lea left, I stood up, and I had completely recovered... I felt full of energy. I felt stronger.
I gave a punch to the air, then smiled. I left my room and ran outside. I moved away from the main city immersed in my thoughts to build a more prominent wall and improve the armament of the army. After a while, I started to lose my breath. So I stopped in a small village.
In this little village, I rediscovered the poverty of my kingdom. Some people slept on the floor, others were dead, but nobody even bothered to bury them.
I could hear the voice of a passer-by complaining.
"Damn it! This life sucks. We work all day, and because of the kingdom''s taxes we can hardly find anything to live on."
A girl who looks like one of those acquaintances answered him.
" There''s nothing we can do about it. We were just not lucky enough to have been born as a nobleman. We still have to try to live on. "
I felt ashamed. While I was enjoying the appearance of the window popping up, I had forgotten the people who live in the poverty of my kingdom.
I turned around and started going home because I didn''t have the courage for talking to them.
But I know one thing for sure. I will do what I can to change that!
When I returned to the domain, I directly announced in front of all the nobles.
"I will hold a meeting in front of all my population tomorrow at 3 P.M. "
"But what is the purpose of this meeting? My Lord ?"
" You''ll see tomorrow; I won''t say another word today about that."
I went straight to my room ignoring their questions, and I spent the rest of my day in my room, making myself ready for that meeting.
Meanwhile, the nobles were still discussing what could be the subject of the meeting.Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
*********************************************************************************
There were nearly 6000 persons present at the meeting. It was a significant number for a kingdom of only 12.500 persons. They formed a circle around the platform.
I must admit that I was a little stressed to see so many people waiting for my speech.
I started to climb on the platform, I held my back straight, as I gracefully glanced over the crowd in front of me.
And in a loud, lively voice so everyone can hear me. I started talking.
"First I wanted to thank you. Thank you all! Thank you, my people, for having worked so long for my kingdom, for having lived and animated this kingdom for so long."
I took a break from my word to give more importance to my words. The people were surprised at the beginning of the speech I gave.
"Now, as you know. Every day people die whether it is in the battle against the monsters or whether it is because of hunger.
This is the greatest affliction of our kingdom, And I can solve the famine problems when to the battles against the monsters, I can make it much less dangerous for our soldiers. "
I took another break to let the people assimilate the information they received. Of course, most of them were still suspicious that I could solve the problems. But for some, it was already a light of hope.
" As for the army, an investment in the construction of a larger stone wall can repel weak attacks without any losses. And holes to fight the stronger opponents. As far as agriculture is concerned. We need to produce more agricultural tools to increase production."
The people thought I was talking nonsense. Because the kingdom didn''t have the money to pay for it.
" Well, The only problem of course. Is the fact that we don''t have enough funding to pay the worker to do it despite having the natural resources to do so. That is why I decide that from now on the nobility will only be a title and will no longer have any advantage from it. It will save us enough money to carry out these projects. As far as the management of the kingdom is concerned, anyone educated enough can apply to work for the kingdom. "
For the army and the people. It was good news, plus my speech to reason through their minds. They started clapping with all their strengths.
But for most of the nobility, It was an attack on their way of life ¡ª an assault on their dignity.
Although they were unhappy, the nobility couldn''t disapprove me after a speech like that in front of such a big, happy crowd.
" Thank you all for listening to me. I wish everyone in my kingdom could prosper. "
With these words, I left with elegance an entire population astonished by what just happened.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Tole POV-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My mother and father died of illness at my youngest age; I had no one to help me.
Even if I was good at it, I was forced to be a thief, I hated it, but I had to. But one day, someone recognizes me while stealing, my life was done. According to the law, he would cut my hand, but that would mean the end of my life since I won''t have money to cure it.
Just when I have lost hope in life, I heard a voice
" Hey, Hey !!!!!!!!!! YOU !!!!!! What are you doing that to a poor kid? "
Even if I thought he would rape me, I fastly understood that it was all a misunderstanding. But even so, I was happy to escape death.
But the weirdest is that he was asking me questions that everyone could answer. I first thought he could be dumb. But what happened next prove me wrong.
When the Lord did his speech in front of everyone, I could only admire him.
And at this moment I heard a voice, it was from the Lord.
" Tole, from now on you will be my student and follow me everywhere. I have big plans for you; tomorrow we will learn how to ride horses. Like you I am a total beginner. And, you can call me by my name."
When he said it to me, I Could see him As a father. A family that I didn''t have during all those years.
I was trying to hide it. I couldn''t help but show my tears.
While seeing me cry. Charles took me in his arms.
"Everything is alright, now. "
" Yes, Thank you, Charles! "
****************************************************************************************************************************************************
A week later, not so far from here, in the kingdom of Archa.
Archa was a stable country, with a vast army of active soldiers and one of the best economy around. It was a city full of shops, treasures, and beauty.
Inside the country, there is a man named Yves, a man of 29 years old who braved his courage through the various trials in his life. And by earning a lot of magical treasure by risking his life. With a seed on his hand, he looks up his stat.

By looking at his stats, he was proud. The only problem was his charisma due to drinking the high orc''s blood. Despite having eight points naturally, he only has five right now.
Because of that he never had success with women.
He was coming out of a brothel. Which was the only way he could have sex without rape.
He began looking into the sky. Slightly regretting drinking the high orc''s blood.
"I could have done without that strength and stamina. The loss of charisma is just too much."
But shortly after he said that. He saw a beautiful huge black mass appeared in front of his face in the sky, he didn''t recognize it first because it moved fast, but the next second he was spitting fire into the town. It was a Dragon!
He heard the shouting voice of a guard further on.
" RUNNNNNN FOR YOUR LIFE !! A DRAGON IS INVADING THE CITY !! "
He just started running, with all his speed, without looking back.
He could feel the heat of the flame hundreds of feet away. It''s at this moment he was happy to have orc blood in his veins.
After running for an hour, he finally reached a forest where he could hide. He was happy not to have died there. At this moment he realized that despite growing stronger. No human could be as powerful as a dragon.
The population went down from 1.000.000 citizens to 50.000 refugees in just a matter of half an hour, The kingdom of Archa cessed to exist. Because of only a single being. Dragon.
Chapter 04: Is he a tyrant?
*************************************************************
MC POV
For a week I did not stop settling different conflicts due to the discontent of the nobles, make various reforms due to the changes in the functioning of power, reorganized the military...
There was a lack of good leadership, no one competent in finance, military management, and there was not even anyone in charge of the agricultural sector.
I couldn''t handle it all, and I had to do my best to train the future people who would manage this kingdom.
The seigneurial domain has been completely reorganized.
It was no longer a place of celebration but an area entirely dedicated to administration
I wrote a lot of documents giving instructions so that the kingdom would go in the right direction.
I was thinking about training people to do this job, but it would take too long, and I hadn''t the time to do so now.
Tole was by my side always learning from me, observing carefully what I was doing.
At first, it disturbed me to see someone so young dedicated so much to learning. Although I wanted Tole to learn so that he could develop himself later, I wanted him to have fun like any other child of his age. But Tole was only interested in what I was doing, leaving me no choice but to let him observe me all day long.
I put on the desk the document '' Agricultural Economics and Management IV part '' that I had just finished
"Tole, bring this document to George. "
Tole was about to start talking when we heard a voice coming from the entrance to my office
"My lord! Our scouts saw about 100 armed humans moving towards our Lands. "
The man who spoke was young and enthusiastic. Having an adrenaline rush, I was tired of staying at the office all day doing the paperwork.
"Go find me a horse, and prepare the army, we''re going to see who these foreigners are. "
"Yes, sir! "
Tole was both excited and anxious
"Charles, I want to go! "
"You can''t go! you don''t even know how to ride a horse."
Tole looked at me with a dubious look
"I don''t know how to ride! But it''s easy to see that you''re not comfortable riding either! "
"We''re not discussing it, I haven''t the time now to do so, you stay here !"
turning around with style with my head upright while keeping a friendly face, in front of the young man
"Let''s go! "
"Yes, sir ! "
****************************************************************
Yves POV
I managed to survive a dragon, I saved a large number of refugees who were being attacked by goblins, I found source points and food for the group that is now about a hundred people.
Looking at a woman who was exhausted from the trip, I asked her,
"Is everything okay? "
The woman, all stressed out looking at me with a sense of fear
"I''m fine! "
"No, you are not fine, look at you, you can''t even walk properly. "
But the moment I said that you could see the fear on his face.
Due to being strong, but with a distorted face that looked like a monster, instead of being thanked, I was feared. I only wanted to help and be loved back!
As I was about to announce to everyone to take a break
Another man named Xetaul came to me courageously as if he would act like a hero.Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.
"We appreciate the fact that you saved us from goblins, but you can''t treat people like that! If She is fragile, you should give her a break! Not threaten the weak!"
Stop judging me by how I look! I''m not a monster! I only drank their blood...
"I had the intention of taking a break! "I say in an irritated way
Xetaul did not dare retort the opposite, and instead came to the woman telling her by taking out a gourd
"Here, have a drink."
"Thank you, what''s your name?"
...
I was strong, but I was completely helpless when it came to social relationships
And the fact that I have no social relationship made me want to desire it.
There was nothing I could do about it...
annoyed, I went to pee further into the forest
after crossing some trees, I saw armed men on horses

MC POV
After an hour and a half of riding with 500 horsemen, We were finally close to the location that the scouts told us
"Sir, we''re almost there, should we prepare to fight?" Said a soldier
"We have to be ready for anything, but we are here to make sure we are on good terms with them, we can''t afford to kill unknown soldiers like that. What if they were from a powerful kingdom?"
But at that moment, something that looked half monster half human coming from behind a tree was close to us
"Monster!! Make ready to fight !! " Says the high ranking soldiers
Yves, in front of them, only make an angry face from being called a monster
but that only reinforced the thought of the soldier of him being a monster, seeing the soldiers in front of him he put himself in a combat position.
When I saw this in front of me, a natural reaction was to check his stats

"DO NOT ATTACK! He''s a human !!" All the soldiers look at me with disbelief.
Yves, on the other hand, with his ego completely destroyed only had a feeling of depression.
When I saw my soldiers hesitating about the action I was giving them, I decided to repeat myself
"My soldier! RETREAT !"
"Yes, sir! "
"Who are you? What are you doing near my territory?"
"A Dragon... A powerful Dragon... Has destroyed the entire kingdom of Archa. Only refugee are left from this great kingdom."
All my soldiers were genuinely shocked. The kingdom of Archa, one of the greatest country and closest neighbor, has vanished. They still weren''t accepting the truth.
"Are you alone?"
"No, there is around 100 other refugee like me. "
"Let''s go meet them so! "
Me, Yves, and my 500 soldiers entering the little camp they had created, The 100 refugee were looking at us with the excitement of finding another civilization but fear of not being accepted or even worst killed.
Looking at the status of refugees other than Yves, everyone was of a strength ranging from a weak peasant to an average soldier with no improvement. Except for one

It was exciting but it was not the time to think about it, I had a speech to do!
"I am, Charles Constantine, King of Tyrn, if anyone wants to join our nation! Drop your weapon now, and our soldier will escort you to our kingdom! "
Just as everyone moved to join Tyrn''s army, a man named Xetaul (seen from the system information) came to talk to me
"My great king, I am delighted and happy to see so much kindness and goodwill in you, I am so grateful to you, But you must take care of Yves, he is a tyrant that we all feared during our journey. You shouldn''t take him with you. "
Yves, who gets angry about what Xetaul said had a murder intention in his eyes
If this powerful man was indeed a tyrant. It could indeed be a problem for my kingdom later on if he turns against us.
But at that moment, we heard a voice coming from one of the refugees
"He is no tyrant! Yves is our savior! He saved my life from the goblins, he saved your life, but all you do is be afraid because of his appearance! "
"He only saved our lives to use us later!" answer Xetaul
"Oh, yeah? What makes you say that?"
"By example when he threatened this woman when she felt bad because she was slowing down the journey."
"He never threatened anyone! What did he say that could threaten her?"
"It was not what he says but the look he gave to her when she was weak!"
I understood that this was all a misunderstanding.
" STOP !!! Xetaul, I will accept Yves in our kingdom whether you want it or not. So do you want to come with me? "
Xetaul looked at me with a disappointed look on his face
"Yes..."
after this incident, Yves decided to see the person who helped him
"Anna, Thank you very much... But why..."
Anna took him in her arms
"You stupid! I love you! But you were always trying to help weak people and give your attention to those who hate you instead of paying attention to those who liked you, and to me, that love you for being brave and saving my life."
After these happy moments. We begin our return to the kingdom of Tyrn
