THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 230: THE OVERSIGHT OF RUMERK CITY HAS BEEN COMPLETED
The father gently touched his son's head "Even though I don't have much money at all, but I'm sure as long as I keep some of the money from the fields every month, I will make my son study at school as well as the other students. As the Victory Count said, science is the beginning of development. If the previous generation is not a developmentally developing generation using science, at least the older generation like us can let our children help the Victory Count with their strength and knowledge".
"Therefore, as a father, I must not allow my son to be left behind by other children. Moreover, my son plans to join the army to help the Victory Count".
The child nodded firmly "I do not mind even becoming a soldier, as long as I can help the Victory Count and develop our territory. But if I can help the Count as a soldier as I dreamed, then things will be even better".
After speaking for a while longer, the father and son went to their fields to work.
Myro stood still on the spot without talking about anything, even when the figure of the 2 fathers and sons had just left until it was nowhere to be seen again, Myro was still in his place.
Looking at Myro who was just silent, Yorou was worried so she stepped forward in order to be able to remove some of Myro's anger, Yorou thinks Myro is angry about the mayor's actions with Rumerk City officials to the point of making her say nothing more.
But Ren who was beside Yorou instantly raised his hand, he shook his head to tell Yorou not to disturb Myro.
Although Yorou felt strange about Ren's actions, but she only hesitated for a moment before deciding to be silent as Ren meant.
However much smarter Ren is than himself, Ren must have had a reason why they should not bother Myro.
As Yorou did not try to interfere anymore, Ren went back to observing Myro.
The reason Ren did not let Yorou disturb Myro was to let Myro understand and learn the weaknesses of the rules he had made so far.
Although the rules that Myro made aimed for the benefit of all its inhabitants, but Myro forgot 1 very important thing that not all his followers came from the world.
Not to mention under the persuasion of money, some people are able to betray or even commit quite evil actions.
Therefore, let Myro understand the mistakes and weaknesses on all the rules he made before taking the next action. By understanding all that, Myro must have become more mature in terms of thinking.
About 5 minutes later, Myro who was always silent finally spoke up "Ren, what do you think?".
"I don't know", said Myro gazing at the clear sky above him with a sad smile "I might feel as angry and sad as you said just now, but on the other hand, I might feel as angry and sad as you said, there are many other things I feel too. I felt guilty for the children who should have had the opportunity to go to school, but I didn't notice that the mayor and other officials changed the rules. I feel happy because many people still acknowledge me, even though the rules I make are not entirely successful. Then I also find it funny, that while we and many soldiers sacrificed their lives on the battlefield, these rats continued to enrich themselves".
"When you and I all defend our territory and power as best we can from the attacks of other kingdoms or nobles, these rats try to destroy us slowly, slowly, they keep biting us very little so as not to get caught. But if I were to notice it too late, their bite would have been fatal!".
"Then, what will you do?", asked Ren again.
"Of course the rats should not run away, let them lose all the property they stole and go to jail" Myro said firmly, there was not the slightest trace of doubt on his decision earlier.
"I also agree, but", Ren didn't finish his words immediately but rather he looked at Myro first "It seems like master still has some doubts, doesn't he?".
"It seems that I can't hide anything from you, Ren" Myro said shaking his head "Ren, does that mean a king? Is someone like me fit in that position?".
Ren opened his folding fan while thinking "If the master asks me what a king means, the answer must be difficult because everyone's opinion on the meaning of the king is different. But I don't think the king was so strong that he could fight 1000 men alone, not a cunning strategist who always managed to trap his enemy, not a smart man to the point of making the poorest city the richest. Kings are those whom everyone recognizes, real kings are those whom many revere as kings themselves".
"Moreover, sir thinks too much. What is wrong with having a failure? There is nothing wrong with the king failing, but a king should learn the failure that has happened and correct it so as not to make the same mistake. If a normal person makes a mistake, no major problems should occur. But when the king makes a mistake, hundreds to thousands of people may become victims. Master is now studying, there is no need to worry too much whether master is suitable to be king or not because for me, master can become king without problems. Not only my opinion, most of the people in Victory Province, especially those who live in Loth City, Vendes City and Rorec City must be very supportive of master".
Myro closed his eyes for a while and tried to learn Ren's words just now.
A few minutes later, Myro opened his eyes again. Although there was no change in Myro's body, but Ren was able to feel through Myro's eyes that there was a change, Myro removed some of his doubts from the path to a king.
Myro pulled his robe over to cover his face and walked away "Let's go back to Loth City, our surveillance here is done. Mayors and officials in Rumerk City should be checked - No, not just Rumerk City, all mayors and officials in other areas should be examined. We'll return to Loth City as soon as possible and make plans next".
Ren closed his folding fan, he and Yorou immediately walked following Myro "Understood, sir!".
Unwittingly, Myro the Victory Count ended his surveillance of Rumerk City and left again for Loth City.
