Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

Seeing the golden eagle pattern, Dimitar nodded in agreement.

Then, the shocked people began to whisper.

"Why did you become active in the Thieves Guild and even create a revolutionary group?"

Gilbert asked cautiously with a puzzled look on his face, and Jack Carter answered with an easy smile.

"When I was a child, I discovered my father's meeting with the demons, and I have been practically under house arrest ever since." Was the collusion between the king and the demons that long ago?

People's faces were twisted in anger, waiting for Jack Carter's next words.

"Maybe they thought it was not easy to kill me as a prince, so they planned to lock me up in the palace and kill me."

He lived under the threat of assassination since childhood and was gradually forgotten.

"The person who saved me from this hellish place was Lady Charlotte." Jack Carter looked at Cardin and continued.

"Lady Charlotte also knew my father's secret, so I left the palace and founded the Revolutionary Group with Lady Charlotte."

Here we can hear how the revolutionary group was born. The members of the revolutionary group listened to Jack Carter's words with excitement.

"Then why didn't the palace look for you?" This time it was Philip who asked the question carefully, and Jack Carter answered with a smile as a matter of course.

"Lady Charlotte has prepared a body for me." Everyone in the conference room nodded in understanding.

If it was Charlotte, who was known as the Kingdom Legend, it shouldn't be difficult to create a fake corpse of Jack Carter.

"So, why go to the Thieves Guild..."

"Hiding is the best option. Besides, I can put my special talents to good use."

He created a false identity in the Thieves Guild and actively worked to help the Revolutionary Group and Charlotte.

"So I became a member of the Thieves Guild, and ended up playing a role in the final war, didn't I?"

Without the information brought by Jack Carter, the demon base camp would not be found, and such an operation would not be launched.

Although he is not a combatant, Jack Carter's activity as an intelligence officer cannot be ignored.

"To be honest, I have no ambition for the throne. But if I am the only one suitable, I will try my best."

Jack Carter smiled and the conference room fell silent for a moment. People just looked at each other, and no one spoke.

At this time.

"I agree," Cardin said, raising his hand.

"I agree too!"

"If the leader of the revolutionary group becomes king, the revolution will be complete!" Then, the cadres of the revolutionary group raised their hands to show their approval.

"I agree too." The Guardians also voted in favor, and after some thought, the cadres of the Resistance Army also raised their hands to show their approval.

"It would be best if the coronation ceremony was held after the situation is more stable." Dimitar said in a solemn voice as Jack Carter straightened his clothes.

"Okay, then let's move on to the next topic, shall we? If the first meeting topic is the King, then the second topic must be the Guardians, right?"

Jack Carter asked, looking at Dimitar, Gilbert, and Philip, and the three guardians nodded simultaneously.

"Gilbert and I announce our retirement from today," Dimitar stood up and said, and the conference room became lively again.

Now that the kingdom has just regained stability, the guardians are leaving.

"Well, that won't do."

"The guardians must take charge of the situation so that the kingdom can be stabilized." Although people strongly opposed it, the guardians' expressions remained unchanged.

"We are not completely retiring. We intend to help the new guardians until they are comfortable in their positions. Besides, isn't there Philip?"

"So we plan to elect our successor here."

"We already have some candidates," Dimitar, Gilbert and Philippe continued, and people turned their attention to some of the expected characters.

"First, Matthias." "Yes." Matthias, who had long been designated as Dimitar's successor, inherited the position of guardian first.

"Vrede, you take my place." Gilbert's place was taken by Virede from the Revolutionary Group.

"Klose, I would also like to invite you to serve as the guardian." Klose Douglas, who became a hero on the battlefield, was also chosen as the guardian.

Then, some characters who were called heroes were nominated as guardians, and finally.

"Cardan." Dimitar looked at Cardan and called his name. Cardan looked at him with wide eyes.

"Inherit the will of my father and teacher and take on the position of guardian."

"I see."

Cardin nodded and replied, and the guardians looked at Cardin with relieved smiles.

After the meeting, Cardin and Jack Carter went to the "Cat's Dinner" in the capital.

"Mr. Cardin, long time no see, come and have a drink."

Jack Carter came out of the kitchen naturally and handed Cardin a glass of orange juice.

"Isn't it inappropriate to address you like that now? You are His Majesty."

"Aren't you a guardian? There's no problem with the title."

"So are you going to call me Guardian from now on?"

"You will call me Your Majesty from now on, and I should call you that, right?"

The two smiled at each other.

"No, why did you hide it from me? You hid it from me too."

Cardin drank the orange juice in one gulp and asked with a wronged expression.

Then Jack Carter answered by handing him a new glass of orange juice.

"Because you didn't ask me if I was a prince?"

"No, who would ask if the chapter leader of the Thieves Guild is a prince?"

"Again, I didn't go out of my way to hide it."

Jack Carter answered with a smile in his unique eyes, and Cardin seemed a little dissatisfied and frowned.

"You helped me so much, it turns out it wasn't because of my father's request, but to repay the favor?"

Cardin put away his smile and asked seriously, and Jack Carter nodded.

"That was the case at first. Lady Charlotte saved me, so I thought I should save Lady Charlotte's child as well."

Initially, it was just hoped that Cardan could escape to another country and live a safe and peaceful life.

When a necromancer with less than three stars talks about seeking revenge against the Guardians and the kingdom, it's simply ridiculous.

However, Cardin quickly grows up, surprising Jack Carter and proving himself to be a possibility.

"After seeing your active performance in Hero Academy, my mind has changed."

Jack Carter decided to place his hopes on Cardin.

She hopes that he can become a hero and take back the kingdom from the demons, and does everything she can to help him do that.

“It turns out that my idea was correct.”

Using information gained from the Revolutionary Group and the Thieves Guild, Jack Carter strives to make Cardan grow faster.

As a result, Cardin lived up to Jack Carter's trust and eventually became a hero protecting the kingdom.

"I thought I had returned to a place I missed, but when I thought about entering the palace, I felt depressed."

"If it's Mr. Jack Carter... No, if it's your Majesty, it should be able to do a good job."

"Mr. Cardin becoming a guardian will be of great help."

"Am I going to be idle?"

"You are eating the salary of the kingdom, but you are doing nothing?"

Jack Carter asked in surprise, and Cardin chuckled and nodded.

"Honestly, I've done what I was supposed to do, haven't I?"

Cardin was right, and Jack Carter had no objection.

If it weren't for Cardan, taking back the kingdom from the demons would have been a pipe dream.

"Well, that can't be helped."

Jack Carter seemed to give up and nodded, and Cardin chuckled and spoke.

"Just kidding. How can I stay idle with my personality?"

Of course, there are some true words mixed in.

Now I can finally feel the peace that I was unable to enjoy in my previous life, but it is not easy to get rid of the temptation of peace.

"Ah, Mr. Cardin."

Jack Carter nodded with a smile, as if he had thought of something, and called Cardin, who answered curiously.

"Please go ahead, Your Majesty."

"Please feel free to call me whatever you want in private..."

"I see. What do you want me to do?"

"Is there anything you want? I'd like to try to satisfy your request."

He wanted neither money nor fame. The money Charlotte had left him was still more than enough, and Cardin's reputation was known throughout the kingdom.

"As long as I can get my father's house back, I will be satisfied."

Cardin said with a smile and Jack Carter frowned.

"Then the rewards for others will seem too little..."

If Cardin, who made the greatest contribution in the war, only received a mansion as a reward, the rewards received by others would inevitably be less.

"Ah, I didn't expect that."

The two looked at each other, lost in thought.

"Don't you want to be a noble? I can give you the position of Duke."

"If you become a duke, there are too many things to do. And as a guardian, the position of nobility is not necessary."

And Cardan already holds the position of "King".

Although he is the king of the dead, he will be very busy managing Neropolis in the future.

Most importantly, he did not want a noble position.

"So... do you have an area you want? How about giving you land?"

"My father's house and the surrounding land are enough."

He was not greedy for land either.

The money and fame he has are enough for him to enjoy wealth and glory.

"That doesn't give you the whole kingdom..."

"I refuse that, too."

Jack Carter seemed depressed because he couldn't make a decision for a while and sighed deeply.

"Ah, so how about this?"

At this time, Cardin seemed to have thought of something and spoke hurriedly.

"Hero Academy."

"You certainly don't want to be a professor. Do you want all the rights to the Hero Academy?"

"Yes."

"Hero Academy is harder to manage than the land...why?"

Why should someone who had rejected noble status and land take on difficult work?

"You don't want to reward me, you want to help me..."

The Hero Academy is one of the most needed facilities in the Kingdom of Libera.

While traditions are important, in order to increase the power of the kingdom, heroic students are needed and their strength is needed.

Managing that place is much more difficult than managing a normal college.

Jack Carter looked at Cardin apologetically, and Cardin replied with a bright smile.

"I can give orders to Senior Mathias. Most of the troublesome things can be pushed to him."
