"When you read this letter, I will not be here when you read it.



　........Well, it's a will, so I guess it's not surprising.
　The reason I decided to write a will is because....

　Because my dear wife, Yulia, is dead.

　First Raimondo died, then Bartolo and now ...
　Alexios died too.

　And the year I turned forty-eight, Julia died too.

　I'm about to be fifty.
　I'd like to live to be 60 if I could but I don't know how it will turn out.

　That is why I leave you with this book.


　Inheritance.

　My property and all my rights and powers shall pass to Marcus, as I have already decreed.
　He shall also succeed to his position as King of Romalia, his dominion, his province, his province, and his claim to the Commonwealth of Romalia.

　However ... as for the slaves that I personally own, let them go.



　Then to the children.
　Don't quarrel, but get along.
　If you have disputes, make them formal.
　And finally follow the instructions of the patriarch, Marcus.

　I don't want a future where our children kill each other.


　To my vassals.
　Marcus will be the next King of Romalia.
　Therefore, you are sworn to give your allegiance to this land and to Marcus.
　And you must not become martyrs for your country.
　You are not to become martyrs.

　Show me your allegiance to Marcus by swearing your loyalty to him, not by martyrdom.


　To the subjects of Romalia.
　I'm not sure that I was a great monarch to you.
　But you have given me your allegiance.
　First of all, thanks for that.

　And now I want you to swear your loyalty to Marx.



　To Marx.
　I think I'm doing the right thing.
　But you would have to be a god or a historian of later times to know if I was right.
　So I won't tell you what to do.

　You will do as you see fit and do as you please.
　You may do it my way or you may do it the other way around.

　...you have something to do, don't you?

　　
　In the beginning, rely on many people.




　Dear Gryphon.........

　Thank you so much for everything.
　Please keep up the good work on the example.



　To my beloved wife, Tetra, and to Alice.
　I am so sorry that I have to die before you.
　I know this may sound selfish but I would like to be with you both in the afterlife if possible.

　Please I would like to be in the same grave.




　And as for my funeral, as frugal and simple as possible...
　I would like to say, however, that you probably intend to do it with a flourish.

　I have never heard of a story where a wish to have a modest burial was honored.　
　So I just advise you not to spend too much money.
　I would only advise you to.

　I want you to spend your money on the living, not the dead.
　And there is no need for the martyrdom of slaves at all.
　There is no reason for the living to die for the dead.

　And I also want him to be buried in the same place as Julia.
　This is a must.




　And finally I would like to go back to the Tetra.
　I'm sorry to put you in charge of reading my will.


　Now......
　I wish Romalia the same prosperity, even after my death.


　Almus Julius Rosais as Caesar.




　And then the old woman with the blue hair said.....
　No, Tetra finished reading Almus' will.

　Today......
　On this day, the king who had founded Romalia in one generation and made it into a great power had passed away.






　"Marcus your Majesty, it seems that you are not... nervous...
　'Don't.......respectful language is so weird........'
　I don't think that's going to happen.

　Marx and Ankus....
　They were having their first final meeting about the Senate after Marx had been appointed king.

　'You are ... the king.
　'I know ... I know what I have to do. I will do it. I'm going to pass this country on to the next generation," he said. That's my job. Can I count on your help?
　Well, of course it was your father's will to be good to your brothers and sisters.


　They knew what it meant.
　Their father had gone to the trouble of writing in his will, "to get along with your brothers" and so on, meaning.

　Currently, Romalia is divided into two forces.
　The Rosais faction, led by the Rosais clan, and the As faction, led by the As clan.

　Among the Ath faction's extremists, there is a force that says Anx is the king, and so on....
　There are some forces among the Rosaisian extremists who say that Anx should be dealt with, etc.

　Of course, the two of them do not intend to kill each other.
　What their father gave them they have no intention of destroying by fighting with their brothers.

　They both knew very well that their father ... and their mothers did not want that.

　'Father left a lot of things for me but he also left me a debt. Romalia is not yet united. First I will destroy Belvedil and Evil, and then I will take care of the Kingdom of Alva and King Domorgal's country. Aside from the previous kings, Muzio and Carlo, the current king is no good. And finally I will crush Faldum and Gilbed. Then we'll be united in a clearer way.

　Marx's goal was.....
　The dismantling of the Commonwealth of Romalia.

　Dismantle the Commonwealth of Romalia and achieve true unity.
　I thought that was my role.

　"...Fiona is going to rebel.
　''This is the only thing I have to convince my sister I have to convince Fiona. If the Alva Kingdom quietly accepts the dismantling, I have no intention of killing King Alva.

　Julia's eldest daughter, Fiona, married into the Kingdom of Alva.
　She is now the rightful wife of the current King of Alva, succeeding the previous King Muzio.

　Fiona is desperately trying to mediate between her husband and Marcus, but...
　Marx's intentions are firm.

　I'm sure that he will have to dismantle the Alva Kingdom.

　Of course, Marcus has no intention of taking his life either.
　If he accepted the abdication he was prepared to sit in the aristocracy and prepare a seat for the Senate.

　'Anyway ... this is the first step. Let's go.
　Yes, I see, Your Majesty.









　Ankus is headed to Congress ahead of us...
　Then Marx entered the assembly.

　Marx was greeted by .........

　"Long live the king!
　"Long live the king!

　It was a cheer from the senators.
　At first glance, all the senators appeared to be delighted with Marx's accession to the throne....


　In fact, only about a third of them are really happy about it.
　The other two thirds are a little more........anxious.

　This is due to the fact that Marcus studied for a time in the Persis Empire, and then dotes on the princess of the Persis Empire as his full wife.
　Will he destroy Adelian traditions and run the state in the style of the Persis Empire?

　He is anxious to do so.

　Nevertheless.........this time, Marcus is wearing a toga, the traditional costume of the Adelnians, and the crown is not a golden crown like the one worn by the Emperor of the Persis Empire, but a civil crown made of leaves.


　The senators patted their chests a little.........





　'Fathers, new ones!
　First I would like to make my first royal proposal.

　I would like to honor my father King Almus as a god and protector of Romalia.
　How would you like to do that?

　After Marx finished his coronation speech...
　As his first task, he offered the Congress the deification of his father.


　In response.....
　Crackling applause erupted.

　
　With this, Almus was now a god.

　And........this meant that Marcus himself had become a son of God.
　It was a skill that Almus had advised Marcus in secret before his death.

　Well.........
　From here on out, Marx is on his own.

　First of all ... Anx raised his hand.

　'Your Majesty, I have a proposal to make.
　What is it?
　As you know, the Empire of Persis, the great power in the east, is crumbling. No one will ever recognize the emperor of that country as the King of the Lords again. All the sons of the previous emperor, Darius, who succeeded the previous emperor, Xerxes, are dead.

　Emperor Darius.
　It was the successor of the Emperor Xerxes, the Emperor of Persis.

　Marcus was indebted to the emperor during his studies in Persis.
　He was not a brilliant man, but he was kind to Marcus, who didn't know what to do in a foreign country.

　For Marx........
　He was a man who was a second father.

　But ... he has been assassinated.　
　And now, the Persis Empire is in turmoil due to the struggle for the succession of the children left behind by Emperor Xerxes.
　And as if to exploit the confusion, ethnic rebellions are raging in many places.

　The Cilician peninsula had long since passed out of the hands of the Persis Empire.

　Marx is happy that he has been able to strengthen his influence on the Cilicia peninsula by having an excuse to beat the loan, and he is also sad about the death of Emperor Darius.


　But.........
　I can certainly say that as the King of Romalia and as Marx personally.

　Now, for the multiple idiots who claim to be emperors in the Empire of Persis........
　You're neither fit nor able to call yourself King of the Lords.

　Only the late Emperor Darius was permitted to call himself the King of the Lords.

　So......
　Beforehand, Marcus uses Anx's mouth ... to suggest to the Senate.


　 As her husband, Your Majesty, I am of the opinion that you are entitled to be called 'King of Kings', the Emperor. So... what do you think, Your Majesty? How about "King of the Kings", your majesty?　Will you ascend the throne of the Kingdom of Romalia, or rather, the Empire of Romalia?

　In the words of Anks....
　The Senate was in an uproar.

　Anx continued.

　'The greatest power in the Teutonic Sea today is undoubtedly Romalia. Your Majesty has the right to be the king of kings, reigning above the nations of the Teutonic Sea. Your Majesty your Majesty I beg you to grant me this wish.

　In response to the Anks's request...
　Marx shook his head widely.

　'I can't do that. That title is too heavy for me.'

　That's what he built as King of Romalia, and that's what Marcus really wanted.
　The only real King of the Lords is the Emperor Darius.

　Then......
　This time a man stood up.

　''Your Majesty, I would like to........please. I ask that you be enthroned as emperor. I believe your Majesty is a king worthy of the 'King of Kings'.

　It was one old man who said that.
　He was Sir Rosward Fabius.

　He is now fifty years old........
　He is the oldest member of the Senate and the oldest member of the vassals' group.

　Ron and Gram are also the oldest...
　Ron has been gone for a while since Alms died, due to a lung disease.

　Gram broke his legs and feet and was quite dumbfounded, so....
　A deputy is present at the moment.

　'I appreciate the sentiment, but...'

　When Marx balked....
　Finally, the other man stood up.

　''Your Majesty, from me as well there should be no such thing as a world without the King of Kings. In order to rule over the chaos of the Teutonic Sea I beg you to ascend the throne and become the king of the world. And will you become King of the World?

　His name was Lucius Cornelius.

　He was the son of Alexios Barca and the son-in-law of Bartolo Pompeius.
　He was the second largest voice in the world after Rosward.

　Well......
　

　'All right........if you say so much, let's call ourselves 'King of the Kings'. I will be enthroned as emperor. But ... but first there are some conditions.

　Marx looked around at the senators and said.

　'To be 'King of the Lords', to be an emperor ... is to stand above my father and the previous king, King Almus. But ... such a thing cannot be done as a son. So.........please, Senators. Will you grant my father the position of 'First Emperor' of the Romali Empire?

　In response to Marx's suggestion....
　The senators replied with applause.


　Thus, Almus was given the title of 'God Emperor'........
　He was posthumously enthroned as Emperor of the Romarian Empire.


　







　After that.........
　Marcus worked tirelessly in political affairs to protect the country he had inherited from his father.

　First, he urged King Evil and King Belvedere to abdicate...
　Next, he exerted military pressure on the Kingdom of Alva and forcibly deposed the kings of Alva and Domorgal.

　The kings of the four countries eventually lost their thrones and henceforth spent their time as vassals and nobles of the Romali Empire.

　He then destroyed the four nations of North and South Gilbet, Fardham and Domorgal in a series of wars.

　These series of wars are known as the First Alliance War.
　This destroyed the major nations, leaving only the smaller nations such as the Autonomous and Alliance Cities.

　Then......
　He fought for more than a decade on the Adelian peninsula against the Pofenian general Hanna Barca, who invaded jointly with the kingdom of Roselle.

　In this war, Romalia lost hundreds of thousands of people, many of whom were led by Lucius Cornelius...
　Hanna Barca was finally evacuated from the Adelian peninsula by the endurance warfare method claimed by Rosward Fabius.

　And ... Hannah Barca, son of Lucius Cornelius and grandson of Alexios Cornelius and Bartolo Pompeius, by Alexios Cornelius II ... ...
　They were defeated in Pofenia.

　Thus, the Romarian Empire won the Second Poffenian War.
　It destroyed the kingdom of Roselle and defeated Pofenia, transforming itself into the most powerful power in the Teutonic Sea.　


　But Marx's methods ... were a bit too heavy-handed.
　Seeing the tyranny of the Persis Empire and idealizing it, Marx's way of doing things left a lot to be desired.

　And now in his fifties........
　Then Marx reread his father's will and paused to read the words.

　'But ... it would take God or a later historian to know if it's really right.'

　Marx wondered if he had done the right thing.
　Also ... he had one major problem.

　The problem of succession.

　Between Marcus and Scheherazade, the princess of the Persis Empire and his rightful wife........
　He had one son.
　Marcus doted on that son - but the boy died before Marcus did.

　All that was left was the grandson of a young boy.
　Marcus wanted his grandson to succeed him on the throne, but........

　The boy was too mild to be...
　It looked unreliable in Marx's eyes.

　Troubled, Marx was.....
　The Romarian Empire is to be reborn as a 'Republic with the Emperor as monarch, but essentially run by a talkative group of nobles and commoners'.

　Fortunately....
　Many of the institutions left behind by Almus had a 'republican' color to them.

　In Marx's eyes.....
　It appeared that Almus had seen this coming.

　Marx made good use of those institutions....
　By the time he was in his sixties, he had built up the groundwork for a 'Republic'.

　And as his last task, he invaded Pofenia, which was rapidly recovering....
　With the Third Poffenian War, he destroyed Poffenia.

　The Romali Empire finally became the supreme power in the Teutonic Sea.

　A year later, Marx died.
　And his grandson, the Emperor Numa, ascended the throne as the third emperor.


　Emperor Numa remained on the throne of Romalia for more than fifty years, and his time was called the Golden Age of the Romanian Empire of the Rosais...
　It became the ideal of many republicans in later times.
