I Became the Genius Bastard of a Noble Dark Clan – 100

Chapter 100

Episode 100

“Of course, there is no way to tell the difference on the outside, so we cannot hold them accountable.”

Ashed said to Marquis Langham.

“I think we should question Christian too.”

“Yes, that’s right. Prince Christian’s younger brother Teren has also recently achieved great things. They both deserve awards.”

Count Liberi intervened, and the Marquis of Langham nodded.

“Understood. Christian’s body will be taken into custody. The fight between the Count of Bursen and the Count of Khazar is ongoing.”

The Marquis of Langham thought for a moment.

Since the guilt has not yet been confirmed, it was actually an ambiguous issue.

however.

‘It wouldn’t be a bad idea to take this opportunity to wipe out the Counts of Khazar.’

From before.

The Marquis of Langham attempted to weaken the power of his collateral branches.

For one’s own purposes.

In other words, this is a conspiracy in which the intentions of Ashed and Marquis Langham are in agreement.

“Until the situation becomes clear, the main family will not intervene.”

It was a decision that was tantamount to declaring the destruction of the Khazar Counts.

* ? ?* ? ?*

Things were getting urgent.

The Khazar Counts and the County of Bursen were brought to the brink of war, and Christian was ordered into custody.

“That’s ridiculous!”

“That, that’s right. Hmm, that Christian guy, no, even if the prince is a cheapskate, there’s no way he would have committed human sacrifice?!”

[Oh ho ho. How dare you say such a thing to our master. I’m so angry. Should I… just settle it all?]

Merlin, Alos, and Marie each shouted in anger.

But Chris calmly consoled them.

“It’s okay. Calm down.”

“Is it time to calm down now…?!”

At that moment, an unexpected voice was heard.

“Yes, the situation is not light. It is not the time to be relaxed.”

It was Marian!

She entered Christian’s quarters wearing the uniform of the Black Knights.

“Is your aunt here to catch me?”

“Yes, it is my role as the Inspector General to deal with sinners within the family. But whether you are a sinner… I have no idea.”

A story defending Christian.

In fact, Marian had no intention of detaining Christian.

On the contrary.

‘You damn punk. How dare you do something like that?’

Marian was busy gritting her teeth.

She was extremely angry at Ashed.

It is not necessarily a bad thing to resort to dirty tricks during a fight for succession. After all, trickery is also a virtue that is necessary for a family head.

But there is a limit.

This is crossing the line.

“The Lord is also angry. He is considering whether to break the ‘taboo’.”

Chris looked surprised.

It means a pledge not to get involved in family affairs.

“But that.”

“It’s an act that overturns the principles that the lord has kept until now. That’s how angry he is about what Ashed did. No, maybe….”

Marian swallowed her words.

‘Christian, you might be angry because it’s your job.’

In fact, there is nothing more hideous than this that has happened in the Dark Maga.

No, there were a lot.

But even then, the Norse remained silent.

But this time, I’m particularly more angry.

‘It must be because the lord cares for that child.’

Perhaps the Norse themselves are not aware of it.

The Norse already considered Christian special, different from other bloodlines.

But Christian gave an unexpected answer.

“Your help is okay. No, let me say it differently. Your help is absolutely not okay.”

“Why?”

“Because I will lose the chance to trample on that Ashed guy myself.”

“!!”

For a moment, Marian flinched.

Christian was smiling eerily.

Cold, shining eyes.

Only then did Marian notice.

Christian wasn’t calm.

I was angry.

It was natural.

Because I touched my family.

Of course, they are not Chris’s ‘real’ family.

But Chris cherished them.

Those who treated him more like family than his ‘real’ family in his previous life.

“And this incident is not something to be taken lightly. On the contrary, I am grateful to that Ashed bastard.”

“…What do you mean?”

“Because he overstepped his bounds and got the chance to deal me a huge blow. I’m going to give him a fatal wound this time.”

If this were just some run-of-the-mill conspiracy.

Even if it had caused a backlash, it probably wouldn’t have been able to inflict a fatal blow.

But it is a human sacrifice.

Even among the mind, it is taboo.

Does Ashed know?

What excuse did he give Chris?

“…Do you think it’s possible? The one behind Ashed is probably the Count of Ribery. Finding evidence won’t be easy.”

Marian said worriedly.

“Count Liberi would have already covered up all the evidence of their involvement. He is a very meticulous person in this regard.”

Chris knew too.

Count Liberi is more of a strategist than a warrior.

Even if you investigate, no evidence will be found.

‘It’s the same even if you shake off Ashed. Even if you gain achievements through human sacrifice, there’s no way to tell from the outside.’

It was the same with the devil’s contractors, who were difficult to recognize on the outside.

but.

“It’s okay. There is a way.”

“!!”

Strong voice.

Marian looked confused.

‘earthly?’

There wasn’t an ounce of worry on Christian’s face.

I am confident that I can do it.

The problem is that that confidence doesn’t seem unreasonable.

Because he was Christian.

He has accomplished countless impossible miracles with his incredible talent and skills.

‘This kid is really….’

Marian shook her head.

“Are you sure you can do it?”

“Yes.”

Marian thought for a moment, then did something surprising.

I gave Chris a black moon-shaped amulet hanging from his collar.

“I hereby grant you the title of Temporary Black Knight. This amulet is a symbol of my authority. Until this incident is over, you will have the same authority as I do.”

Chris looked surprised.

“But, Aunt, what is this?”

It was a political burden on Marian.

Originally, Chris had planned to escape on his own and resolve the situation on his own.

“This much is okay.”

“Why?”

Marian frowned.

As if to ask why I asked such a thing.

“Aren’t you my niece? The only one who calls me aunt is the one who has the audacity to call me aunt.”

“!!”

“So, take your aunt’s gift.”

Chris’s heart fluttered slightly.

In fact, the reason he approached Marian and called her aunt was for his own benefit.

Marian wouldn’t be unaware of that fact either.

Yet she treats Chris like a real blood relative.

“…Thank you. I will definitely bake you some delicious cookies to thank you.”

“Ugh, always talking. I wonder when they’re going to bring those damn cookies.”

Chris made an embarrassed face.

“Go quickly before the others bother you.”

“Yes, I will do that. Oh, can you help me with one more thing?”

“What is it?”

“Please tell the Lord one thing.”

Chris said heavily.

“I’m going to cause a big accident because of this, so please forgive me.”

accident.

It means blood.

* ? ?* ? ?*

Chris moved quickly.

It wasn’t heading to the house of Count Khazar where the incident occurred.

To solve this problem, I had to go somewhere completely different.

‘The problem is protecting the Count of Khazar.’

Chris was troubled.

‘The power of the County of Bursen surpasses that of the Counts of Khazar.’

The most powerful knight in the Bursen County, Lord Press, was more of a problem than anything else.

A Master Knight of 6 stars.

Of course, Count Kazar was also at the same level as 6-star, but it was said that Sir Press was slightly ahead.

If a fight broke out, Count Khazar’s life could not be guaranteed.

‘I intend to resolve this as quickly as possible before a full-blown conflict occurs, but I think it would be better to put in place safeguards.’

Chris called Marie.

[Ohhoho… What’s the matter, Master? Is it possible that your heart is burning with anticipation for something big?]

“I have a favor to ask of you.”

Chris said seriously.

Marie tilted her head.

“I need your strength. Protect your father and Tern.”

[!!]

Is this an illusion?

Marie’s transparent ghostly face hardened.

Marie’s usual carefree atmosphere disappeared.

Chris felt a chill run down his spine.

I instinctively feel nervous about Marie’s hidden true nature.

‘What on earth is Marie’s power?’

Chris still had no idea how much power Marie had.

What is certain is that it is still a very distant level for him to see.

[Ohhoho… I have given my body and mind to you, Master… but I am truly sorry… unleashing my power… is beyond the scope of the contract.]

The contract Marie made was simply to act as a maid.

“I know. But I’ll pay you in return.”

[Ohhoho… the price, you say.]

Marie let out a soft laugh.

[A gift from the master. My heart is pounding with anticipation, but it is still impossible. The master is still not qualified to make an additional contract with me.]

“!!”

It was an unexpected answer.

It’s not enough, you.

How much is Marie’s true status?

‘Isn’t that possible?’

As Chris closed his mouth, Marie smiled faintly.

[But… I can grant you this special request.]

“Why?”

[Ohhoho… Because it’s a job to protect your father-in-law. As a daughter-in-law, it’s something you can naturally do without a special contract.]

Chris made an embarrassed face.

“Father-in-law, what about your daughter-in-law?”

[I love how embarrassed you look. I know all about your true and warm feelings towards me.]

“No, that’s not it. Just go quickly.”

[Yes, I will go quickly to protect my father-in-law.]

Marie laughed and disappeared.

This time, Merlin and Alos approached Chris.

“Master, what should we do?”

“I, I should just go back to Count Tyramine…?! Hah. Please, give me orders too!”

Alos tried to sneak away, but was met with a stinging gaze from Merlin, and sucked in a breath and shouted.

It looked completely tamed, having been trained by Merlin.

One peculiar thing is that a fat-looking girl named Jupienne came with them.

Jupienne looked at Chris with a sad look.

As if to say, ‘How can I help you?’

‘… Jupien, why did he come here? I don’t really need Jupien’s help.’

Chris scratched his head.

“Jupien, you… um. By the way, why are you here?”

“…You are a dirty word.”

“No, I’m just curious. You know that if you come to help me, you’ll end up on the wrong side of Ashed.”

Jupienne answered fatly.

“I don’t know about that.”

“…….”

“I just do what I think is right. I don’t want to bring shame on my father’s name, who died an honorable death for the Dark Maga.”
