Team villains except me

I am French Rainier, the King of Rainier.

This is my memoir.

I don't really like writing about that kind of thing. Nedoan is very keen on writing memoirs, and she earned money from them to rebuild the greenhouse. Nedoan likes that kind of thing, and after 29 years, her preferences are still the same.

I first encountered the Nedoan before the "War of Freedom," as the Laniers' Eagles later referred to it. For some reason, I remember that war more vividly than the War of Gods.

Maybe it’s because many of my ministers today were met at that time.

In Niedoan's memoirs, only half of the content is about herself. She will write about her teammates, her mother, and her subordinates. She said this was for the purpose of writing a sequel, but I know she wanted more people to remember them.

I also want to write about the eagle tribe and people around me.

But I don't have any teammates. I received an aristocratic education outside, and I didn't go to a magic school. I can't write about my parents either. My parents died when I had no memory of them. My mother was a noble and was related to the previous king.

The previous king said that I would be a princess of Lanier, but I want to be a lord rather than a princess.

There is very little I can write about myself, so I will write about my subordinates.

Speaking of subordinates, I just met with the manager of Trencedan. Her name is Floris.

Trencedam is now a special zone of Rainier. The city has its own cooperation projects with the outside world. Female eagles born in Trencedam can go to Philippi to study for free under certain conditions.

Many families wanted to move to Trentsiden because of this project. After all, Philippi is a country with a very good national welfare system, and many female eagles have settled in Philippi through this project.

Back then, Philippi was prospering. At the time, Trencedam was still governed by Falankan. She was a particularly formidable female eagle, stubborn, overbearing, and a dictator. She died over a decade ago, leaving Trencedam to Floris. Before her death, Falankan knelt before the entire Trencedam and begged me to treat her daughter Sulan well. I knew she was using moral blackmail against me. She always did this, using any means necessary.

Sulan is now my chief guard.

I can always see the shadow of Falankan in Sulan. Lanier is getting better and better now. I rarely see female eagles like Falankan.

Time flies. Thirty years have already passed in the blink of an eye.

My feathers are all white.

Nedoan advised me to dye my hair, but I am no longer as obsessed with packaging myself as I was when I was young. Nothing in this world is perfect, everything has flaws.

When I think of flaws, I always think of Judus and Giddy.

Judas was the administrator of Vince City. She died less than five years after the War of Gods. Her youth was difficult. Children today have no idea what life was like for us female eagles back then. They even think the "no-fly order" is a legend, a cliché, a made-up law used to scare female eagles.

That was great. It was less than 30 years ago.

If Judas were alive now, she would also feel very relieved.

I've forgotten the name of Judas's lover. Like Nedoan, he was a student at a magic academy. I remember he was an analyst. I still remember the grand ceremony when Judas and her lover got married. By then, fine lines had formed around Judas's eyes, and her young lover shouted, "We'll be together forever."

When Judus died, her lover cried like a baby.

Life is short.

Judus's lover left Rainier after Judus's death. He had family outside. When Judus was still alive, he could not reconcile this contradiction. He had too much, and when he made a choice, he would lose something.

But he returns every year to see Judas.

At my age, I have fewer and fewer friends to know and more and more graves to visit. My life is full of regrets.

When I was Lord of France, my regret was not being able to get more female eagles to leave, and seeing too many deaths without being able to do anything. When I became King, my regret was having only half of Rainier.

During the "Freedom War" back then, I had originally intended to reach Futsu. But so much was changing, and I couldn't afford to lose. Even a half-win was still a win, and I didn't want to see any more deaths. Besides, I believed in Gidi.

When the memoir is published, Loretta will be able to regain her identity, so I think it's okay for me to reveal the secret here.

The current king of Lanier's other half of the territory, Gidi Lanier, is actually Loretta, the daughter of the Beast Warrior Musa.

It's a very complicated story. I don't know the details of the story, but I do know that Loretta did a great job.

Initially, I was somewhat unwilling to accept this. How could a king possess only half of his kingdom, while the other half was in the hands of a child? I was fully prepared. If the child was controlled, or if she collapsed and revealed her true identity, I would use all means to obtain the other half.

But Loretta did a great job.

She seems to be a natural politician, and her mother Musa is also a beast warrior who is very good at politics.

But back then, I remember Musa knew nothing about politics. Her first teacher was De Ling.

Deling, few eagles in Lanier now probably remember her. She was also Lanier's princess, and she has passed away.

She fled Rainier, then abandoned her daughter there and left herself. She had been distorted by Rainier, and even without him, her personality and perspectives were difficult to change. She didn't want to be a mother. She saw so many examples, and she felt that becoming a mother required too much courage and effort, and she couldn't do it.

Deling's daughter is very talented in dealing with people. She is now Loretta's diplomat.

My diplomat is Pingluo.

This child was originally a partner of Nedoan, a student at Mehdi College. After graduating, she came to France. She is really talented and can imitate well.

Come to think of it, my first subordinates all came from various magic academies.

Beatrice Themis, Ben Alice, Simon de and Evatt.

Biti is Lanier's ambassador, a descendant of God. She came to Lanier without telling her parents. She's a kindhearted child. Despite being a noble, she chose to stay and work here because of her experience at Lanier. I'm very grateful to her. She writes excellent research reports, and her publicity is always very inspiring. When I met her parents, they said they couldn't believe their child had achieved such success and they were very proud of Biti.

Ben and her parents had lost contact a long time ago. Ben Alice was the administrator of the city of Stranda. She had originally been an assistant to Nedo An, and I knew her background. She was raised as the heiress of a noble family, and she was more than capable of managing Stranda.

Stranda is my money bag now.

By the way, Ben applied for a day off last week because her team was going on vacation together. I haven't approved her application yet.

Now it's passed.

……

Once I got back to work, I didn't have time to write my memoirs. Since becoming king, I've had very little time to rest, but looking at Rainier now, I think all this fatigue is within reasonable limits.

Where was I writing?

Ah, after Biti and Ben, there's Simon and Evatt. Simon is the younger brother of one of Neddo's teammates, and he's the head of Lanier's supervisory department. I've heard that he and his teammates have unusual luck, but I didn't take advantage of him, and I don't believe in such luck.

He took the initiative to apply for the job about twenty years ago. Until now, I still can't figure out where his luck lies. He works very hard, and maybe his hard work looks like luck?

Ivette is the complete opposite of Simon. Speaking of Ivette, she was here just now.

She's my intelligence chief, and she has news for me—Loretta has been reinstated.

After all these years, she finally doesn't have to be a Giddy anymore. But looking at the photos of Loretta that Evatt brought me, I feel sad. I think she's losing less and less of that Loretta quality. She's given so much, that even being herself is a luxury.

Fortunately, she has many followers, and she manages her half of Lanier like my original France. Even in the most conservative city, the female eagle believes that one should work after marriage. As for the no-fly order, that is history.

It wasn't easy. I admit, she did have to put in more effort than I did.

Fortunately, her friends were always there for her. I still remember that the person who was in contact with Nedoan was a member of the "Send You Home" team, Loretta's age, named Duna Zhute Yalinxiu.

This is really a difficult name to remember. The reason I can remember it so clearly is because of the predecessor of Luyou, King Irene Luyou. Perhaps you will be more familiar with another title I mentioned, "King of All Realms".

We have worked together for many years.

As a member of the Non-Faithful Orc Alliance, I received a lot of help from Irene Ruyou. I know her and her family quite well.

But the person I know best is Nedoan. Nedoan has written extensively in her memoirs about how we met, how we were wary of each other, then how we collaborated and ultimately became friends. I won't go into detail here. If you're interested, go buy Nedoan's memoirs; she writes much better than I do.

Her glass greenhouse is also very beautifully designed. I don't think I need to introduce it any further, after all, it has become a popular attraction in France.

Nedoan is the administrator of France. Twenty-nine years ago, France was my territory.

Nedoan is very smart and may seem a little cold, but she is a good manager. She has helped Francie reach a new level, and even without her, Francie will continue to operate normally.

I often told her it wasn't smart because I could always replace her when Francie didn't need her anymore.

Nedoan always looked at me firmly and said that I would not do that.

"Francie doesn't need me, you need me."

Nedoan rarely explained the motivations behind her actions, but she did say this one sentence, and I remembered it for a long time.

Because she was right.

I'm not interested in love, and I've never experienced family affection. The rest of my emotions are with friends. The only photo on my desk is of me and Nieduo'an.

She ignited my ambition. After the Nedo An, it was Irene Ruyou's teammate, the former president of Abersg Academy, Norvia Laili, who pushed me to truly want to become king.

I still remember the tone of her voice at that time.

[Today you are a lord, tomorrow you are a close minister, and the day after tomorrow you are the king... You are already a close minister. So tomorrow, you should prepare to become the king.]

I wasn't surprised when I heard she was elected chairman, and I wasn't surprised when the next chairman was chosen.

……

I have always written my memoirs in fits and starts.

I just met with a female eagle. She was recommended by Loretta. In the recommendation letter, Loretta said that this child is more suitable for me.

For nearly thirty years, Loretta and I have been political enemies, rivals, and friends. We share the same dream and the same goal.

We often recommend each other. Some people are suitable for me, and some are suitable for Loretta.

I looked at this female eagle's resume. She's 35 years old, a graduate of the Atavism Institute founded by Irene Ruyou. She spent two years as a trainee teacher at Abersg, and then went on an exchange program to the southern continent. Her last job was in Philippi, where her supervisor was the renowned Shaqi Fianna.

Very nice resume.

She's a perfect fit for my situation. Her methods are flexible and her ideas are innovative. She's somewhat limited on Loretta's side, and her suggestions are often too bold, which Loretta can't adopt due to pressure. But I can. I have the cost of trial and error.

There was just one thing I found odd: Loretta was very particular about this female eagle.

Now is an important time for her to restore her identity. She shouldn't have sent this female eagle to me. Loretta has been very cautious over the years.

……

It has been half a year since I last wrote my memoirs.

I met Loretta once during this period and I got the answer to the question above.

Loretta said that it was because the female eagle told her a story from the past.

"Your Majesty, I was very young when the Freedom War took place. I was among the eagles and flew up there. I saw my mother high up in the sky. But when I asked her about it when I got home that night, she denied it.

She was terrified. She feared being discovered, shunned, beaten, and punished. But she flew so high, with so many eagles soaring. She was the fifth one behind the Beast Warrior. I admired her so much. I told her I wanted to fly that high one day, too. I would train hard and strive to soar.

She hesitated and asked if I was serious. When I said yes, she asked if I had the courage to persevere. I said yes. She looked at me for a long time and said she didn't. She didn't think she could always support me. She felt she would back down.

Your Majesty, I thought at that time that I wanted to give my mother and me a future together."

When Loretta repeated the female eagle's words to me, I understood without her having to explain why Loretta was so special to her.

As I write this, the sky outside is clear and sunny.

I'm so used to the sound of wings flapping in the sky that I know there must be a female eagle flying freely in the sky.

I think my regrets have long since disappeared.

Now, I am in the future that all female eagles share. Our future.
