The sound of hacking and killing outside the door gradually dissipated.
Balmond put his arms around Camilla's thin body, closed his eyes and began to pray.
The thin Camilla curled up in Balmond's arms and looked up at the murals on the top of the palace where the ancestors fought in all directions.
"Ancestors...please bless my people, don't be bullied by bad guys anymore, and bless me by the way...see my mother..."
"Your Majesty Camilla..."
Balmond, who was over half a century old, burst into tears.
Such a kind princess, why did fate not favor her so much.
Let her be born into this precarious royal family.
squeak~~~
Accompanied by an old rubbing sound, the palace door was slowly pushed open.
Balmond was sad at first, and then he was keenly aware that something was wrong.
How could the pirate push the door?
They usually come straight in, and...
Why so quiet?
Footsteps sounded from the "Palace Gate", Balmond opened his eyes and looked over.
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy walked in carrying a long knife that was extremely asymmetrical to his body.
"You are······"
"Me? I'm a Marine."
·······
The Kingdom of Girona has always been known for its fertile land and people.
Although there are no rare ore or rich fishery resources in other countries.
However, under the unique climatic conditions, the grain output is very abundant.
Such a land has also become a regular target for pirates to plunder.
The people living here are miserable, but they are powerless to resist.
Hundreds of years ago, the ancestors of the Kingdom of Girona came to this land and led their knights to draw borders, drive away robbers, and establish rules.
People love the royal family of Girona and swear allegiance to it forever.
Warm land is suitable for the growth of food, and it is easy for brave soldiers to gain weight.
More than two hundred years later, the original mighty knights of Girona disappeared, and their descendants became nobles who needed support even to walk.
And the royal family is even worse.
With the help of huge food production, they cooperate with warring states in exchange for high income.
Finally, in a certain year, they became a member of the "World government".
With the "Marine's protection" promised by the World Government, the Royal Army has completely become a joke.
Although the people's life is getting worse day by day, they can still make ends meet.
The days are maintained like this, even though the proportion of food collected by the royal family is getting higher and higher, even though some people are already starving.
But people know very well that if they can't continue to pay the "heavenly gold", then they will go back to hell just like their ancestors.
All the people are gnashing their teeth to bear it. On the one hand, they have to work hard to collect the "heavenly gold" collected by the World Government, and on the other hand, they have to maintain the extravagant life of the nobles.
And the fragile support point that maintained all this finally collapsed completely one day.
"One Piece" - Goldo Roger was executed.
Countless people started to go to sea to find the unprecedented huge treasure - "ONE PIECE".
Many newcomers to sea simply won't be deterred by "Marine's Flag".
They came to Girona, the "land of rice".
They robbed food, robbed women, and robbed what was in preparation—the gold in the sky!
This year, the "rice country" Girona lost its status as a "member country of the World government".
Marine took down their flags.
The nightmare has returned to this land, and the knights who once held arms to defend the people have long since disappeared.
This year, Princess Camilla came to this world.
·······
"By the way...Mr. Marine...our soldiers..."
Dylan smiled a little embarrassedly when he was a teenager: "They fainted, and their lives are not in danger."
After speaking, Dylan put Shura back slightly.
Then Dylan looked around, this... let's call it a castle.
In terms of the scale of the building, it should have been rich, but now it looks inexplicably ironic.
"Didn't you say that there are no soldiers in this kingdom?"
Balmond smiled wryly: "They are not the descendants of the first generation of 'knights'. After losing their status as a member country and facing more and more frequent looting, the nobles either fled here or died here."
"They... were originally civilians. In order to fulfill the promise of their ancestors, they took up arms."
"No wonder..."
Dylan pondered for a moment, those people didn't look like fighters no matter what.
"Wait a moment," Balmond thought of the king who was still sleeping soundly on the chair, although he was so stupid and incompetent, but anyway...
"The country... Your Majesty the King!?"
The thirteenth king of the royal family of Girona, died on his "throne", smiling.
"Balmond? What's the matter with father?"
Suppressing the grief in his heart, Balmond took Camilla's shoulders with trembling hands.
"Your Majesty Camilla...His Majesty the King...has passed away...you are the only heir left in this country."
"Father, like mother and sister, have gone far away?"
"Please...please be strong..."
"Ok!"
Although her body was still weak, Camila still responded heavily: "I will, Balmond, I promised my mother that I will not cry until I find support, and I will wait for them to come back!"
The young Camila still doesn't quite understand the meaning of "death". Some people told him that he fell asleep, and some said that he had gone to a far away place.
Dylan not far away sighed.
This is East Blue... the weakest sea.
Symbol of peace.
If the East Blue is like this, then the situation in other sea areas and the "Grand Line" can be imagined.
A rich place, but no strength to guard him.
Despite his deep sympathy for the country, Dylan stood up and walked out the door.
Along the way, he has seen too many tragedies in the world, and this place is far away from the branch.
If you don't go back sooner, you will be scolded again.
Balmond watched the young Marine, who was about to leave, move his mouth, but in the end he still didn't speak.
Marine·······After all, the Marine of the World government·······
Just when Dylan walked to the gate, a slightly tired and crisp voice sounded from behind.
"Big brother!"
Ok?
Dylan turned around and looked at Camilla, who had a dusty face and was wearing a patchwork floral skirt.
"What's wrong?"
Camilla supported the table and slowly walked towards Dylan. When she came to Dylan, Camilla bowed deeply to Dylan.
"Thank you for saving my soldiers. You are welcome to visit Girona next time. We will definitely treat you with the sweetest rice."
Camila raised her small face and showed a smile:
"If Girona is still around!"
