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.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

"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
