Chapter 1: Chapter 1
It's been over 5 months since I've been in this new world, as well as in this new body of mine.
From what I've gathered from my memories, my name is Jacob Alfred, the last member of the Alfred family. Last year, by some unknown curse, the Alfred family was killed, and only Jacob, the only bloodline of Alfred's, survived because he was overseas with his mother.
When the news of The Blademinth Kingdom's royal family's death spread throughout the kingdom, chaos ensued. The Kingdom was on the verge of civil war. However, thanks to the current Empress, Valentina Bloodfallen, the civil war was avoided because she sent 50 thousand men to counter the civil war in the kingdom and also assisted Jacob Alfred in sitting on the throne without a dilemma.
But Jacob, who was only 17 years old, was having difficulty governing his country. Pressure from his country's nobles, corruption, and a variety of other factors were killing him from within. He couldn't ask his mother for help because she was just an ordinary young woman with no knowledge of running a country, and because his entire family had been wiped out, he was all alone. As his anxiety increased, he began to lose himself and eventually decided to end his life. He onc mixed poison into his drink and drank it. That was the end of it, because I awoke in his body with the glass right beside me.
I mean, a boy who has spent his entire life sitting out with no stress in the world was suddenly assigned a task of this magnitude, such as leading a country. Bruhhhhh. You're mistaken if you think of the Empress as an angel. My investigation on her revealed that she's a crafty bitch. Fact one: She prevents civil war in the kingdom. That all sounds wonderful, but it's simply one of her steps to capture or annex the kingdom of Blademinth, whatever you want to call it. What am I getting at? First, let me clarify. For a number of reasons, the Alfred family had a strained relationship with the empire in recent years, long before I was transmigrated. The first will be the Empire's backing for the Nation of Blumond's spy operations, and the second will be the Empire's unfair acts against the Blademinth people. It was one of the most important reasons, and there is a rationale for that, which I'll explain later. As I previously stated, now that you know the empire wishes to rule the kingdom, don't you think it odd that she would save the country from civil war? She can easily obtain what she wants if she can simply let the kingdom go to ruin and then order a command with the moniker "free people of Blademinth." Are you perplexed? So, let's get rid of that muddle. It's easy, but you'll need to know another truth to grasp it, which is pretty long, but I'll attempt to make it shorter. To be more specific, the Krivell Empire consists of 37 kingdoms and governs 32 colonies. The Krivell Empire has strained relations with the other kingdoms. However, because to the Holy Knights' decree, the other kingdoms were unable to oppose the empire. As a result, they continue to follow the empire. The Empire is now losing power, which is why the Imperial family is rushing to establish as much control and monopoly over countries as possible. But even the empire recognizes that they cannot win control of every country, which is why they choose the one that will benefit them the best. Quilty triumphs over quantity. The Alfreds were fully aware that they were a target for the empire. They fought them energetically, but they all died of a curse, and I don't think I need to mention that the empire was the one who murdered the Alfreds. They now intend to utilize Jacob as a toy in order to succeed with their final toy. They knew from the outset that a youngster with little administrative management or diplomatic understanding couldn't handle the weight of running the country and it would ultimately break apart, and then the empire would come to handle the crisis and capture the kingdom and reign over it, making them a hero. Yes, I am aware of that fact. He could simply hire experienced individuals to do work for him and assist him in managing the kingdom. He wouldn't put so much strain on him then. However, as previously stated, due to the empress's power, all well-known persons have been bribed to keep the young Lord in pain. What a pity. Ugh.
But, unfortunately for the empress, I've assumed Jacob's position, and believe me when I say, I'm not going to let things go her way. I've had a lot of success thus far.
"May I enter, Sir Joseph?"
A knock came on the door, followed by a voice calling out to me.
"Ah, sure, Alex, I was expecting your arrival."
The door opened, revealing a boy in his twenties with brown hair and light complexion, clad in painted armour with a Blademinth Kingdom symbol in the center.
Alex bowed as he arrived at the door and then looked at me.
"Sir, you were correct. The military commander was really related to the emperor and planned to rise against the monarchy in 18 days."
Alex is one of my closest people at the moment. On my side, he is the 7th division commander of the Purgatory's Mask, a special force that only receives and executes my orders. This is one of the things I've accomplished after much difficulty and deception. This force is my ultimate trump card, and I'm glad to demonstrate it.
When I heard it, I couldn't help but smile.
"Huh, that Old Bastard, I thought he simply had a link with the empress, which I understand, but organizing a revolution, that's rather courageous considering our country recently survived a civil war."
"Indeed That takes guts, sire... We also managed to apprehend the Guild's chef, who was providing the Empress with information regarding our personal matters and transaction data."
"Outstanding "
Alex inquired, a little hesitantly.
"Sire, wouldn't it be better if you reported everything to the Holy Knight Order?"
"Alex, we spoke about this previously, right?" I answered, sighing.
"B-but-
"The Holy Knight Order is no longer what it once was. The rumored chosen pope is also a puppet of Empress Valentina Bloodfallen. There are many cardinals. I know they are truthful, but they can't help us fight the Empress. In addition, with war on the horizon, the Knight Order is in chaos.
"So, what are you going to do now?"
"The proclamation that we would be cutting connections with the Alliance and the Empire, and in this way," I smirked. "We'll reach our Final stage of the Full Independency of our beloved kingdom."
"You mean now?"
"Nahh, Tomorrow but Before that we have Guest's waiting let's Execute them"
Alex Nodded as we both Headed towards the Door.
'Today will be the day When i lay the foundation of the destruction of the empire'
Even If I don't belong in this world, and I wasn't formally born as Jacob, but his memories are still vivid in my memory, I only see misery and suffering, which made me unhappy and obliged to do something I didn't think was proper. which is vengeance Well, I'm a historian, and a very good one at that. You may call me arrogant, but that's exactly what I am. I swear I'll annihilate everyone who gets in my way or those who cause harm to my people.
Walking, we both arrived at a large hall compartment where...
" Lord We're all waiting for your next order''. A total of 500 soldiers were lined up in a spectacular formation, and when they spotted me, their burning passion surged to the surface, and they yelled in unison.
Alex walking in front of them stood in the center while I walked to the podium.
"It's time to rise; it's time to break free from the empire's grasp and live freely, and you'll be the ones to do it today. I'd want to express how glad I am to have warriors like you."
"Please don't say that, Lord; it's the other way around; we're delighted to have you as our Lord, whose vision reaches the heavens." When someone from the audience spoke out, I responded with a genuine grin.
"Thank you for that Marcus, but you guys are also a blessing to me, which I wanted you to know."
The warriors' eyes welled up with tears as they gazed upon me in admiration.
'Perfect'
"So Let us march twoards the Military Institution's"
