I Became the Genius Bastard of a Noble Dark Clan – 111

Chapter 111

Episode 111

Ashed bit his lip, feeling anxious.

Christian continued speaking, looking at everyone as if he were the main character on stage.

“But the seal on this document is real. It’s something I just can’t understand.”

The Marquis of Langham asked.

“So, what are you trying to say?”

“We need to find the person who framed them.”

“!!”

“If they are innocent, then someone must have forged the documents.”

Christian shook his head.

“Who on earth would do something like this, and why? What on earth is the reason?”

People gulped at those words.

One person came to everyone’s mind.

A person with the power to make this possible.

Also, a person with a good reason to do so.

Christian turned his gaze as if to confirm people’s suspicions.

Directly towards Ashed.

“Do you have any idea, Prince Ashed?”

“!!”

“I can only think of one person who would be skilled enough to forge the seals of all of these people, and at the same time have a reason to blame them.”

Ashed clenched his fists.

Now Christian is trying to blame Ashed!

It was definitely a coincidence.

Because no one other than Ashed can do something like this, and no one else has a reason to do something like this.

‘You son of a bitch. Do you think I’ll do whatever you want with me?’

It was simple.

Since there will be no evidence that it was Ashed’s doing anyway, you can just raise your head and deny it.

however.

“Oh, Your Majesty.”

Those who were pointed out were looking at me with earnest eyes.

As if asking for help.

They’re not the only ones.

The entire courtroom was focused on Ashed.

What choice will Ashed make?

“Please think carefully before you answer. If you fail to prove that this letter is false, then all of these people will pay the price according to the law of the family.”

therefore.

The moment Ashed denies that it was his doing, they will all be executed.

In other words, this was a trap of either/or.

Whether to embrace them or abandon them.

‘This fu*king bastard.’

But it was nothing to worry about.

Ashed’s root is sociopath.

It was unimaginable that I would suffer loss for the sake of others.

Chris also saw through Ashed’s nature and set this trap.

“Absolutely not me.”

“!!”

In that moment, a sigh flowed through the room.

Ashed gritted his teeth and continued speaking.

“There must be another culprit besides me. We have to catch him….”

“Yes, I suppose so. I don’t know who would dare do such a thing though.”

Christian sneered, and Ashed flinched.

The gazes of those looking at him were cold.

Different from before.

It was natural.

Because people think that Ashed has put the blame on them.

The reaction of the abandoned vassals in particular was dramatic.

“Prince Ashed!! How could you do this to us?!”

“You are blaming us who have faithfully followed you until now!! Even the demons of Gehenna will not be like you!!”

They shouted at Ashed in an angry tone.

The reaction of other vassals who supported Ashed was also extremely cold.

He even dismissed the suspicion of human sacrifice.

But he falsely accused his followers and kicked them out in front of everyone.

Everyone was completely disappointed in Ashed.

Ashed suddenly lost the hearts of his entire family.

In an instant, they lost a huge support base.

‘It looks great.’

Chris smiled inwardly.

‘I can’t miss this opportunity.’

When people’s hearts wavered, that was the opportunity.

Christian made a pitiful face.

“Since Prince Ashed denies it, we must punish them. But this does not seem right.”

“Isn’t that right?”

“Yes, it must be a false accusation. I believe in their innocence.”

At those words, the men looked moved at Christian.

The Ashdods they had followed had abandoned them, but the Christians they had persecuted were protecting them.

At that moment, many of the vassals thought this.

‘The next head of the family should be someone like Prince Christian.’

In particular, the reaction of the falsely accused vassals was dramatic.

‘If I can clear my name, I will serve Prince Christian from now on.’

It was a moment when the power structure of the successor government was greatly shaken.

Today’s events will likely see quite a few supporters turn to Christian.

In particular, those who were falsely accused today, if they survive, will become Christian’s loyalists.

On the other hand, Ashed was in the opposite position.

Ashed lost a significant portion of his support base in an instant because of today’s events.

That wasn’t all.

Now everyone in the family will be pointing fingers at Ashed behind his back.

From being admired by all and shining in the highest places, he became a disgrace to his family.

At that moment, Marquis Langham poured cold water on the situation.

“How are we going to prove their innocence? It’s impossible unless we expose someone’s false accusation.”

“If there is no evidence, there is only one way.”

Christian looked at Ashed and said in a straight tone.

The final goal of today’s trial.

The most important.

“I challenge Prince Ashed to a duel.”

“!!”

In that moment, everyone held their breath.

When the truth was not revealed, a duel was held and the winner’s opinion was recognized as correct.

A primitive way of thinking that started from the idea that the winner is right.

This is a method that is not used much these days.

“Surely you wouldn’t avoid this like a coward, would you?”

Ashed let out a cold laugh at Christian’s provocation.

“…You’re crazy. Good. I have no reason to refuse.”

It was a natural reaction.

Chris is 4 stars. And that’s still low.

On the other hand, Ashid has reached the 5-star Elder class.

“Christian Prince, this is a bit much.”

“Please reconsider.”

Those who had looked favorably upon Christian now expressed their concerns.

I thought Christian had no chance of winning.

I thought there was a high chance that I would be seriously injured or killed if I lost.

however.

“Keep on going, a referee duel? What a reckless suggestion.”

Everyone held their breath.

It was Nordic!

Nogaju spoke in a voice that sounded somewhat joyful.

“What do you think, Marquis? It seems difficult to find out the truth anyway, so ending it with a duel between judges doesn’t seem like a bad idea. Of course, this old man is just here to watch, so it’s up to the Marquis to decide.”

“…….”

The Marquis of Langham was silent for a moment.

Whose opinion would you dare to ignore?

but.

‘… There’s no way Christian will beat Ashed, right?’

That’s a ridiculous idea.

The difference in level between the two was significant.

The Marquis of Langham looked at Christian with the thought of trying to knock on the stone bridge.

4 stars lower.

‘Prime Low’ class.

It was a level of difference that absolutely could not have happened.

The Marquis of Langham said to Christian.

“But there is a condition.”

“What is it?”

“If something goes wrong during the duel, it is your own responsibility. If you don’t mind losing your life, I will allow you to have a judged duel.”

A story about Christian being told to risk his life.

Also, this was a story told to Ashed.

He was ordered to end Christian’s life through a duel between judges.

Ashed smiled ferociously, as if he understood what I said.

Christian chuckled.

“Don’t worry.”

Christian’s eyes turned to Ashed.

Coldly.

“On the contrary, it is what I had hoped for.”

Yes, that’s right.

Chris planned to completely end Ashed through a duel.

like that.

A duel that will completely change the succession structure has been decided.

* ? ?* ? ?*

In accordance with the Magic Empire’s laws regarding referee duels, the duel date was set for one month later.

Setting a deadline like this is meant to give the parties time to resolve the issue through agreement rather than duel, but that wasn’t the case for the two.

The pretext was a duel to uncover the truth, but everyone in the Dark Maga knew about it.

This was a formal duel over the succession to the throne.

This duel will determine their fate.

The loser will lose everything.

The winner will quickly ascend to the throne of the Grand Duke.

However, few predicted Christian’s victory.

No, honestly, there was no one.

Because they were 4 and 5 stars.

A difference as vast as a wall.

“Why on earth did Master Christian make such a decision?”

“Isn’t it because you’re stepping up for the sake of the vassals who have been falsely accused? Even though Prince Christian has a bit of a scoundrel side, he surprisingly has an upright personality that helps others.”

“but.”

If Christian had not requested a duel, the vassals who had been convicted at that time would not have survived.

“Those vassals were enemies of Prince Christian, so they are coming forward like that. That’s amazing.”

“You can’t even compare it to someone like Ashed.”

In this way, the Dark Maga Mines praised Christian with admiration.

To those who did not know the circumstances, it seemed like Christian had gone out of his way to help his wronged vassals.

A completely different reputation from before, when he was ignored as a loser.

“But you were too reckless. No matter how genius Prince Christian is, this duel is impossible.”

“That’s right. It might be better to call off the duel now.”

Those around Christian thought the same thing.

“…what the hell are you.”

Marian shook her head.

Christian asked, drinking the strawberry juice Marie had made through a straw.

“Why are you doing that?”

“Are you asking because you don’t know?! How can you do such a reckless thing!”

“Don’t worry too much. Marie, would you like a glass of juice for your aunt too?”

[Ohhoho. Would it be possible to prepare it with the blood juice of a virgin? Or, the blood juice of a bachelor who has newly studied the recipe? Or is it the blood juice of a middle-aged man?]

Marian frowned.

“Okay. Juice and all. Redan, you say something too!”

Ridan.

It is the name of Count Khazar.

He was at his hometown because of this incident.

“…I believe in Christianity.”

“Do you believe it? But why is your face like that? If someone saw you, it would look like the world was falling apart.”

“…….”

Count Kazar’s face was full of shadows, like Marian’s grumbling.

It was because of worry.

‘I trust my son. But.’

It was such a reckless challenge.

There is a gap that cannot be filled even if Christian is a genius.

At that moment, Merlin intervened from the side.

“Don’t worry too much, you two. It’s Prince Christian, isn’t it? I’m sure he’s thinking of a clever plan to win.”

She continued with eyes full of trust.

“Because he was the one who fought a showdown with me even when I was less than two stars.”

At those words, Marian and Count Cazar looked at Christian.

Christian was still drinking strawberry juice with a relaxed expression.

A relaxed look that doesn’t show even a hint of worry.

“…Okay, let’s go in. What other secret plan have you prepared?”

“There’s no such thing?”
