Become Tyrant On My Own Way
Chapter 195 – PEACE TIMES WITH KIDS bag. 1

I woke up from my fainting. Different from what I had previously imagined, the atmosphere was peaceful. Either at that time I hallucinated seeing Noel Dumberman or he actually showed up but did nothing. The first one seems to make more sense. Obviously, I'm relieved that everything's okay.

Yasmin had apparently delivered the sad news of Albert's death to Grandpa Rodriguez and his family about being killed by Damian. I could see Vierra's face shockingly knowing that her childhood friend was a psychopath. If I had gotten up earlier, it would have been possible that Damian's involvement would have kept me secret forever for the sake of Vierra's comfort. Anyway, what's the point now, Albert's gone.

However, now Damian's father and mother must also bear the crimes committed by their children.

I attended Albert's funeral. Silent atmosphere. It was because Albert had almost no family other than Lilia who was also dead as well as their son, Allios. Grandfather Glenn Rodriguez presided over the funeral and I was Albert's master who gave the final words of comfort. Albert died a hero, at least it would be proud of Allios when he grew up.

But that's a problem now, though,

“Dad... Dad.... Dad! Hiks, hiks, hiks.”

Allios is still very small who will only be 4 years old.

“Glenn grandfather, just leave Allios' treatment to me.”

I offered that to Grandpa Glenn.

“I can do that to Your Majesty. I am the great-grandfather of this child.”

“But as a duke, surely you will be very busy.”

“But His Majesty is no less busy.”

“I can leave Allios' guard to the maids, at least I can control Allios' growths in the palace, and although I am not in place, there are also my wives who can watch over him. Unlike Grandpa Glenn who had to be busy outside. Although there is no longer the threat of invasion Vlonhard, but the threat of mountain monsters is still real.”

“I can do the same, Your Majesty, as busy as I am.”

“It's not rude, Grandpa Glenn, but you're old. In addition to many of Your other grandchildren that You must pay attention to. Allios will be difficult to be your priority.”

“…”

“Deliver Allios to me, Duke. I wouldn't have abandoned him since Albert I've looked like my own brother. In addition if you miss Allios, the palace door will always be open to welcome your visit.”

After a long silence, Duke Rodriguez finally replied, “Alright, if Your Majesty insists, then I won't ask you much more. I entrust the care of Allios into your hands.”

Thus, Allios' custody fell into my hands. He was unlike Ilyaas whom I could adopt regarding the strictness of the imperial constitution regarding the matter of one's adoption into the imperial family. That is why, just like Albert used to, I included Allios on the family list as the exclusive knight candidate of the imperial family.

Then what remained was the execution of the rebel paladins who had almost torn down the imperial coffers. It would be extremely painful to lose such talented people at a time when the fight with the demon continent was getting closer. But allowing potential dangers like theirs to still be alive to roam freely, I guess that would be a greater potential danger.

That's why I decided to hasten their execution without looking back. At the same time, Fabian's execution was also carried out.

There was no more opposition from his former territory in Litrum. They willingly now accept the fate of Fabian's execution completely. If only I could have noticed the influence of black magic in their decision-making to rebel faster, it must have been a subordinate as valuable as Duke Hugord van Litrum did not have to die in the rebellion because of the process.

How much I regret it.

Apparently, what caused the whole region of Litrum and Aamora and Ignitia to revolt was that everything was hypnotized by the influence of the curse water.

Even though those people were doing rebellion because under the influence of black magic, it basically came from the deepest anger in their own hearts that was being tempered to the surface by the water of curses. That was why it would also be difficult to free them from the entanglement of imperial law.

I've tried to ease their sentences as lightly as possible, but still the Justice Department needs a scapegoat for all of this. Those who assisted in the rebellion even under the influence of the curse water were eventually stripped of their noble titles and had to live out the rest of their days as commoners.

At the very least, I managed to prevent their execution or life imprisonment. Of course, from the beginning they did not deserve that.

The sentence was handed down to all the rebels, not to be missed by my cousin's brother, Vultan de Ignitia.

Kak Vultan cursed himself for being consumed by his evil lust. He apologized to me many times, even though I repeatedly said I had forgiven him.

If I think about it with an objective view, it is only natural that everyone has negative thoughts in him unless that person is truly a true saint. It is not a sin if one thinks evil as long as they do not practice it. But I can also understand where Kak Vultan's hesitation came from.

The chaos that Damian and the paladins had caused was not entirely negative. Thanks to him, now the Meglovia Empire in the Continent of Ernoa, the Kingdom of Geria and the Twin Island Union in the north of the Southern Continent of Ifrak, is, as well as the Kingdom of Indonesia in the south of the Eastern Continent, Asium has cemented their unilateral relations in both trade and diplomacy.

In the process, the Rosea Kingdom in the southwest of the Asium Continent which was a long-time ally of the Indonesian Empire also joined our faction. As a result, most of the world's powers have now gathered with me.

That would certainly make the Tong Kong Empire even more wary of us and would never think lightly of disrupting our empire again.

Exciting news also came from the Ifrak Continent in the south. Due to the chaos I made in the Maosium Kingdom by killing the king and his descendants, the Geria Kingdom has now managed to annex the region.

Of course before doing so, they asked for my opinion first since it was our empire that had officially conquered the Maosium Kingdom. I also have no interest in controlling a land separated from my territory. Gate said Dr. Minerva is difficult to run in areas separated by the ocean because of the disruption of which flow comes from the ocean which he also could not explain the cause.

It would be more effective for us to just give the territory to our allies. Of course I give it with the record that they will never discriminate against civilians who used to be from the Maosium Kingdom. To make sure of that, I put some of my familiar in there to watch over him.

There is also the fear that they can actually use it to compile the power to bring down the Meglovia Empire. That's why I can't be careless.

Oh right, if any of you are curious about the Twin Islands Union that I mentioned at the beginning, it is none other than the one known in the Ernoa Continent as the Union of Southern Islands, that is, the Union of Southern Islands, home of Nunu and Olo.

And here I am, after the hard days I've been on, I can finally relax again. If anything is different, now there is no Albert by my side who I am free to play with as I please who always shows an attractive expression on his face every time I play.

Instead, there was Allios by my side.

I saw him and my children playing with so much joy.

Meanwhile, Illies is fed with love by his beloved mother, Talia. His twin sister, Illios, was being carried by another wife, Luciana. Brother Vierra is mostly taking care of children who are already quite large.

“Kiyaak.”

“Ummmaaah.”

But what was the scene I saw just now?

“Valia, what have you done to Allios?!”

My two-year-old son sun Allios right in his mouth, a scene that had never been imagined in my head before would be done by a little boy who was still even limping in walking.

“Huek, huek, huek.”

Maybe because of listening to me shout loudly, Ruvaliana became shocked and then finally cried. The cry of the little boy was like a chain that kept on connecting. Seeing Ruvaliana crying, Allios who was nearby also cried. Then Ilyaas, Farhaad, followed, until at last Illies and Illios, who were in the mothers' laps, wept.

Only Helion, my eldest son, did not cry, and I saw him stroking Ruvaliana's hair, perhaps with the intention of calming her down. My son Helion is a grown man. He is my proud son.

Suddenly I saw Helion walking towards me. Then suddenly,

“Ouch!”

He flapped my bones unannounced until I let out a strange sound.

Whatisthis? Is this a Helion protest because I just snapped at her sister?

Well, my son is really something beyond my shadow.

Honestly, I didn't know what to behave like as his father at that time. Obviously Helion's actions back then were not commendable because in addition to being disrespectful to his own father, he had also accomplished something with violence. But on the other hand, I am proud of him for daring to defend his own brother as a form of affection for his sister.

Either this is the attitude that will educate Helion well, but I just pat her on the head and hold her, then I told him that he was five years old by six years, which means he can speak well and understand words to some degree,

“Helion, that's a bad attitude. If you are angry at someone, then you must first speak it in words and try as much as possible to resolve it not by force. Understand?”

Helion did not answer me. But she hugged me tightly while burying her head in my chest. I could feel her tears spilling over the clothes I was wearing. I just patted my son's shoulder and kept his cries secret both to his mothers and to his sisters.
