Park Moonsoo worked REALLLLLLY hard in life before dying. 
After awakening to the memories of his previous life as Park Moonsoo, Milton thought he could finally have an easy life as a noble. At least, that was what he used to think before he found out about the enormous debt his father had left him. 
“Okay, I’ll pay off this damn debt. I will.” 
I died from working so hard to pay off the student loans in my previous life, but I’m burdened with more debt again?
Milton wanted to sell the ancient scroll his father left behind to pay off his debt…    
[You have awakened to the Monarch’s Authority.]
Argh! I wanted to have an easy life, please leave me alone!

Game of the Monarch

When Viscount Rosswai surrendered, Jerome praised Milton with wonder.


“You are outstanding, my Lord. You really made Viscount Rosswai surrender without letting a single arrow fly.”


Milton grinned at Jerome’s admiring expression and replied.


“It’s a 50-50 whether this was going to work. I thought it was worth a shot regardless.”


“Still, that was superb. And it looks like your plan did end up working after all, yes?”


“We just had a stroke of luck, is all.”


“What did you plan to do if Viscount Rosswai did not surrender?”


“Then we would have continued with the attack, backed with a more than apt justification.”


“I see; we wouldn’t have incurred any further losses as we kept a fight in mind anyway.”


Jerome was awestruck by Milton’s stratagem. This was a different kind of wisdom to the design of strategies that influenced the field of war, or tactics used on the frontlines in the heat of battle.
