The saloon was filled with people enjoying their time after work . They began drinking and talking about the recent rumors around the world . "I heard Barisman was crushed . " "Yeah, they were all captured as prisoners too . " "Idiots, that's what they get for coming here . " "Our lord is invincible!" "If you think about it, the empire is in its current state because they picked on us too!" "Right . Anyone that attacked us failed!" People were similarly eager to talk about another victory . "But it's good . " "What is?" "The prisoners . " "Oh, yeah . They are lucky . " "They're so scared right now though . " "Hah . They will be fed three times a day, even during their imprisonment! They won't return even if we release them . " "They now get a chance to earn land, a house, and so much more…" "Yeah, just like us . I heard some believe this land is the heaven that Horun talks about . " "Don't even mention Horun . How dare they accuse our countess for being a witch!" "They're the ones who are evil . They make us starve and blame it on God! Even when it rains! It's all on God!" "Yeah . The other day, my son came from his school and told me that you can prepare for the drought if you make a reservoir and keep the water . " "Oh! He's a smart one, eh?" "Hey, my son is going to attend the officer school…" Men began to share news of the victory, then talked about neighboring countries . Then they all ended up talking about their families, their daily lives, and how happy they were . "Sir, you must be proud . " Jackson smiled as he glanced Joonbum . They were both sitting at the side of the saloon, covered in hoods as their disguises . "Yeah, I am . " Joonbum was considered almost like a god now . He was praised by every citizen as an invincible knight, a god of war, Great Lord, and such . It made Joonbum so happy that these people were happy because of him . It was also good that the war had come to an end too where Toria was torn apart by the neighboring countries, barely managing to protect themselves . King Andre Kerin Toria had fallen ill from the shock and the princes were now fighting against each other . "I heard some great news . " "What is it?" "Duke Drega Derune, Duke Zekra Lorion, and Marquis Beneth have asked to be annexed into our land . " "What?" Joonbum looked at Jackson in shock . Jackson smiled in turn . "Hah…" There had been numerous alliance requests from smaller families and lower-ranking nobles . But these families were one of the main noble families of the Torian Kingdom, who controlled the eastern and western regions of the entire kingdom . If they were to be added, half of Toria would be renamed to Khalodian . "Can we handle it?" "Yes, sir . We are lower in rank, but we can raise it up . We crossed a line when we fought against Toria . We must declare ourselves to be a kingdom and you will sit on the throne . Those families are also aware that we can do it, thus their request to be annexed . " "A king… can we do that?" "What's most important is to declare ourselves as a kingdom to obtain approval from the other countries . Toria will not approve, but other countries will . Some even long for our independence from Toria . We also must not lose our chance . " "What chance?" "The war has just ended due to winter . The countries who tried to profit from the war have failed and they are in desperate need of food . The only country with food is us, so they will ask for it soon . " "You want us to give it to them in bulk . " "Yes, and you can declare yourself as a king . " "It doesn't sound right . " "Why? What is stopping you, sir?" Jackson asked as he watched Joonbum frowning . "No, I'm just worried that it's too easy . " "What do you mean, easy! We have gone through so much…" "Okay, relax, Jackson . Relax . We did go through a…" Joonbum couldn't continue . Unlike Jackson, he couldn't say he had gone through such hard times like the others did . 'I must have been off-guard for too long . I was careful when I just got here . Maybe I should be more careful… one successful assassination can get me . ' "Oh, and there's a new rumor spreading around . " "What?" "The king is dying . Some speculate poisoning . I believe so too . " "Really?" "Yes, sir . " Jackson nodded . Joonbum thought how brutal this world was . After all, this was not Earth . "How are the graduates from the elite courses?" "They're amazing . There are some who speak tens of languages and some who can memorize an entire book in an instant . These are geniuses . We are making them teach other children what they have learned . " Joonbum changed the subject to the three hundred newly-educated children . These were very smart children with high potential . Teaching these children and having them teach other children proved to be very successful .
