I Am No King's
Epilogue 5 – Revolution



"Don't run! You will fall!"


"Good ...."


Children's. No matter how often they are reminded, they will never obey if they are not deterred.


I actually wanted to get out and run. However, the wounds of the revolution prevented me. It's too bad to say wounds. My right foot, from the knee to the palm, was gone because of the impact of building materials. From that moment on, I used a prosthetic leg. Although I can still move normally, my stamina has decreased drastically. Coupled with the growing age, I could not accompany the children quickly.


[Viewers. I am currently on the shore of Lake Mein. Behind me you can see President Lowe walking to board the ship. As we know ... ]


It has been almost 1 decade since the revolution turned Mariander into a republic. Despite saying revolution, hardly a single member of the royal family was hurt. The Concubine Family immediately surrendered when we attacked. The royal family and the core Empress had already disappeared when we arrived at the palace. To this day, we don't know where they are.


After the establishment of the Mariander republic, almost all members of the True One revolution held important positions in the government. However, none of us have ever held the position of president. Not unable, but unwilling. True One members believe they can prevent the emergence of tyranny if they are not at the top of the government.


Then, a small percentage, choose to dabble outside the world of government.


"Sir-head, don't push yourself too much. Remember the age."


Nin suddenly appeared from inside the house and rebuked me. This former noblewoman, for some reason, chose to spend her life with an old man like me.


Together with Nin, several trays with teapots and plates floated behind him. Of course I wear lenses and colored glasses to prevent turning off the control removers.


Me, and Shera decided to set up an orphanage after hearing Maul's story. Nin is in the middle. We are also doing this as a redemptive attempt to hold the orphanage hostage in the past. The first and last attempt thwarted by Lugalgin. Lugalgin, thank you for thwarting our attack back then.


"I'm not forcing myself. And, Nin, I haven't even reached head 4."


"But your feet Sir ...."


For some reason, when other people talk about feet and age, I feel like I want to make a fight.


"And, Nin, please stop calling me sir. We are partners. For years we have fought the revolution. When you call me sir, somehow, our distance feels far."


"Huh ...." Nin sighed. "Sorry, sir, I can't do it as long as our guests haven't come home."


"They haven't come home yet?"


"If it had been, Ms. Shera would have been here, right?"


Nin placed the tray and teapot on the table. Now, the table to my right has a snack and iced herbal tea. After the children are tired, they can rest while enjoying snacks and drinks.


While I sat down, Nin was still standing. Sometimes he screamed, preventing the children from running too fast. There was also a moment when Nin ran into the park because someone had fallen. At that time, Nin would try to comfort the fallen child, making him stop crying. Sometimes, Nin takes them back to the terrace to enjoy a snack and a cold drink.


While Nin and I were in the back garden, Shera was still in the front room, talking to the company representative. Because the caretaker and owner of this orphanage is a revolutionary figure, the government and companies are competing to disburse funds. Thus, they can improve the image. It is not uncommon for us to reject excess funds and reference other orphanages in need.


"Finally it's done too."


"Thank you very much."


I'm trying to get up. However, Shera held my shoulder, gesturing for me not to stand.


"This is enough, right?"


This long-haired girl in the pigtails lowered her body and grabbed my chin. His face is so close. I could even feel his breath touching my skin. The sharp look combined with the charming smile made me even more in love. Slowly, our faces approached.


"Eits, it's late afternoon, there's a lot of kids!"


"Well..."


Shera took off my chin and stood up straight again, turning her eyes to the garden. Shera who smiled widely, seemed relieved by the sight of children playing and happy.


"By the way, Shera, have you spoken to Nin?"


"Of course it is."


"Then?"


"She said she wasn't interested. He doesn't want to go to Bana'an and wants to spend time here alone, with us."


"Ah, so is it."


Honestly, I don't know if I should be happy or not with Nin's decision. He told me that one of the members of Agade, a black market organization founded by Lugalgin, offered him a position. Nin did not forget his words to Lugalgin just yet. However, in the end, Nin did not take the offer.


"Then? Her boyfriend?"


"Eitherway. A few days ago she came, saying she wanted to ask Nin. After that, there was no further news. Is this guy serious or not?"


"Do you think the man backed off when he found out Nin was working in an orphanage?"


"shouldn't. He must have known about Nin working here. There may be another reason that made him retreat."


"Yes too."


"That's it. I'm going to the kitchen. It's time to cook for dinner."


Shera turned around quickly with a slightly raised tone. He seems a little upset.


"Let me help."


"Not to."


"Let me help."


"... all right."
