{ Louis Rottie Van, Victor's trusted knight and right-hand man. Louis came from a poor family in the Alen Empire. He and his parents were always hungry. No money, no food. This made his parents die one by one, leaving little Louis with his suffering. Even to bury the bodies of his mother and father, he did not have a piece of land to bury them.
Just as Louis was desperate, he overheard a commotion at the end of the alley where he was. Out of curiosity, he stepped slowly towards the direction of the commotion. Hiding behind a wooden barrel, peeking at what was going on. Louis's eyes opened wide when he saw a boy his age holding a sturdy-looking wooden sword. Louis's gaze was focused on several boys lying on the ground, wincing in pain, especially the boy who was stepped on by the boy holding the wooden sword.
"King... Call me King Victor!" The cold voice managed to make Louis shiver. Not only Louis, even the boy who was stepped on by Victor, was terrified to see the sturdy wooden sword right beside his head.
Little Victor laughed coldly, seeing the children who had always mocked him when he said he would become a sword master, were now under his feet. Not even a single person believed that he was descended from the imperial family. Well, it doesn't matter because Victor is just an illegitimate child whose existence is not made known to the public. However, his dream of becoming a sword master cannot be casually insulted by others.
"Remember! One day, I will make the people who dumped me and made me live in such agony that they want to kill themselves." Little Victor grinned widely, with his dark blue eyes gleaming sharply under the night sky. "Because if I kill them, then I will give a very painful death."
A terrified Louis witnessed how terrifying, the sword-wielding boy — Victor — unknowingly bumped into the wooden barrel and fell backwards. Louis's face was pale when he saw Victor, who realized his presence. Victor's cold gaze shifted to Louis, who was trembling, but his eyes were wide open to witness all that Victor had done.
Victor feels attracted to Louis, who is afraid but still wants to see everything that is happening clearly. Victor raised his wooden sword and pointed the tip of the sword right in front of Louis's face.
"Hey, be my knight. I will be king and need a right hand later. Therefore, I decided that you will be my right hand later."
The reflection of Victor's smiling face with jet black hair that almost matched the darkness of the night, accompanied by dark blue eyes that gave off a chill and an aura of undeniable leadership clearly visible in Louis's eyes. Louis shouldn't have believed the words of a child like him, living on the streets in tattered and dirty clothes. However, back then, it was not a shabby boy holding a wooden sword that appeared in his eyes, but rather a king.
From then on, Louis followed Victor and trained together to become a master of the sword. Gather many people who are willing to follow Victor and build an empire later. At first, it may be difficult to do because many think Victor and Louis are pathetic people who fantasize a lot. However, over time, people witnessed the changes in Victor and Louis until some chose to follow Victor.
Exterminating demons on the cursed island because it was the only island that had no owner and neither belonged to the Alen Empire nor the Molden Empire. The island was covered in blood, demonic howls of pain were heard from all directions. However, even if there must be lives lost because they want to achieve what they want, they are willing to do it.
Victor as the leader of exterminating demons in large numbers, his body was covered in black blood from the demons he had killed. The struggle finally achieved success, until finally the Kingdom of Victoria could be founded on a cursed land with the blood of the devil as a witness to the bloody war they were doing.
Louis was amazed because the 'one day' that little Victor used to say, turned out to be realized with the establishment of the Victoria Kingdom. Victor, as king, made the people subservient under him. Even the people who used to insult him had to keep their mouths shut because Victor was already the leader of a kingdom.
Victor doesn't say imaginary bullshit like other little kids. It turned out that at that time, Victor had the confidence that he would realize what was said.
Louis becomes Victor's right-hand man and serves Victor. There was not a single trace of regret in him following Victor and fighting together. It was because the person he used to follow was really a king. }

Ursilla's forehead furrowed in dreaming about Louis and Victor's past. This seems to have happened because Ursilla met with Louis. Her brain automatically dug up memories of the contents of the novel Love to Ursilla which discussed Louis.
In her restlessness, Ursilla felt a gentle caress on her forehead, thus giving her a sense of comfort, making her go back to sleep.
"How long has she been crying for?" Victor stroked Ursilla's hair, who previously looked restless in her sleep. A sad smile appeared on his face, seeing Ursilla's puffy face.
"When I got to the room, the Princess was already sleeping in my arms, Your Majesty." Wendy stood not far from Victor who was sitting beside Ursilla.
A heavy sigh was heard from Victor who seemed to be in a difficult position. "This is the first time she's asked me anything. I always give everything before she asks. But, it seems Silla really wants a knight for herself. What should I do?"
It wasn't that Victor wouldn't allow it, but it wasn't easy for a knight to swear allegiance to Ursilla who had no value for herself. The knights in the Victoria Kingdom were different from the others. It's harder to make them swear allegiance than to Victor, who has proven to be a man of extraordinary strength.
The group of knights was divided into two, one who from the start would become the Royal Army and swear allegiance to Victor, and two for the confused knights who would either swear allegiance to the kingdom or would choose their master who was still a citizen of the Victoria kingdom. The knights in the second group were also people who were brought by Victor because they had the potential to grow.
This makes it difficult for them to swear allegiance to others if it is not in accordance with their wishes. It's too risky to train people who don't necessarily choose good masters in the future or even just want to have individual abilities.
Rebellion can occur if there are knights who go up to rebellion because of their master's orders. Therefore, before they swore allegiance to their master, Victor would make them swear to themselves that they would not rebel even if it was an order from their master.
