    Chapter 126

    Episode 126

    ‘You’ve gotten stronger.’

    Chris looked slightly surprised.

    Jupienne still had a blunt, doll-like face, but the atmosphere she gave off had changed completely.

    4 stars.

    It was also at an intermediate level.

    ‘I didn’t see your face for a while, but it looks like you’ve been practicing in the closed room.’

    Of course, Jupien did not achieve anything simply by practicing closed-door training.

    Advice that Chris threw out just in time.

    And the efforts that Jupien has accumulated over the years have combined to achieve this explosive achievement.

    In particular, Chris noticed that Jupienne had mastered the art of the illusion technique perfectly.

    Not only will you demonstrate greater strength with the same achievements, but it will also be much easier to reach higher levels in the future.

    “The advice I received then. I came here to repay you, so let’s go together.”

    “…no.”

    “why?”

    “You’re going to the lair of the Union bastards. You know it’s dangerous for a princess like you to go there, right? I can’t take care of you.”

    Jupienne frowned.

    “You’re so cocky.”

    “…….”

    “I never asked you to take care of me. I take care of my own life.”

    Jupienne continued speaking.

    “And if I go, it will also help resolve this matter.”

    “Why?”

    “Since two descendants of the Dark Maga are going, the delegation will be even more powerful. They won’t be able to easily act rashly against us.”

    Exactly what you’re looking for.

    “That’s unexpected. I thought you weren’t the type to use your head very often.”

    “…One day, I’ll crush you under my feet.”

    Chris chuckled and held out his hand.

    “Okay. Then take care of it.”

    “joy.”

    Jupienne clapped her hands coldly and turned away, preparing to join the delegation.

    [Ohhoho. I should get ready too. My heart is pounding with excitement at the thought of this wonderful trip with you, my darling.]

    By the way, Marie is a ghost and is not subject to the number of people limit, so we decided to take her secretly.

    “I, I’m still lacking…! I’ll stay behind with Lord Merlin and train…! Sob!”

    Alos was talking nonsense when he caught Merlin’s fierce glare and took a deep breath.

    Chris poked him again, seeing his murderous eyes threatening to beat him to death if he failed to properly assist Chris.

    The day to leave for Gold Cross has arrived in a flash.

    * ? ?* ? ?*

    That day.

    Is it because it’s the night I leave for Gold Cross?

    Chris had a dream.

    venerable.

    Past lives, childhood dreams.

    – Baby. My beloved baby. A blessing from heaven. My everything.

    A bright smile that looked at me.

    It was the ‘mother’ who gave birth to him.

    Chris could vividly recall events from his very childhood, such as how warmly his mother would smile at him.

    His mother loved him.

    I was happy to see him.

    People of the world also blessed Chris.

    Because Chris was a treasure born from the union of the most noble bloodlines in this world.

    The Pope of the Dharma Realm.

    Princess of the Karn Empire.

    These two were the parents who gave birth to Chris.

    The whole world rejoiced at Chris’s birth, and it seemed as if Chris’s future would be filled with light.

    But the shining happiness did not last long.

    His mother was branded a devil’s lackey shortly after giving birth to him.

    It was a conspiracy.

    – Why?! No! Please believe my story!

    But the mother’s protests had no effect.

    Because the one who plotted it was the Pope, the most noble person in the world.

    That is, the Pope condemned his wife and the child he had borne as the devil’s lackey.

    There wasn’t any particular reason.

    The king had a woman he was in a relationship with, and he wanted her to be his concubine.

    Chris’s mother, a member of the royal family of the Karn Empire, was a stumbling block, so they tried to frame her as a devil’s lackey and burn her at the stake.

    Mother eventually had no choice but to accept all her sins.

    To save Chris.

    – I will admit my guilt, so please… spare this child.

    The mother’s life-threatening request was accepted.

    It was not so much the Pope’s mercy that was shown, but rather the intervention of the Karn Empire, the strongest power in the Crusade Alliance.

    Even though the royal family of the Karn Empire covered up the crime of being involved with demons, they still would not tolerate the killing of the young Chris.

    ‘It was a salvation worse than death.’

    Although he barely managed to escape with his life, he was considered a child born of the devil’s seed and was locked in a tower where he suffered all sorts of terrible things.

    Tortures inflicted under the pretext of purification rituals.

    It was abuse that was intended to make him want to die, but was it because of the cruelty of fate?

    He survived in the end without dying.

    However, it was a time when I only survived and lived with no light and only the hope of death.

    I met light for the first time.

    It was his half-sister, Olivia.

    ‘The first impression wasn’t good.’

    The reason the Pope framed Chris’s mother was to accept Olivia’s mother as his wife.

    Of course, the feelings couldn’t have been good.

    ‘But if it weren’t for Olivia, I would have been completely ruined.’

    Olivia was a good child, unlike her father, the Pope.

    Thanks to her protection, Chris was able to escape the horrific torture of purification and for the first time, he was able to eat enough to keep himself from starving.

    Above all, her sincerity for him slowly opened the tattered bars of Chris’s heart, and eventually, Chris was able to restore his broken heart.

    Olivia was his benefactor.

    therefore.

    ‘It’s my turn now.’

    If this isn’t stopped, Olivia will be ruined.

    Had to stop it.

    * ? ?* ? ?*

    Pfft!

    Chris and his party passed through the warp gate.

    It was a gate leading from the main house to the border.

    Now you need to get on a horse and go down to the Gold Cross.

    “Please meet Confucius!”

    The men in charge of the gate saluted Chris.

    The atmosphere was somewhat tense.

    That meant Chris’s journey to the Gold Cross was dangerous.

    They were enemies to begin with, but now the two sides were on the verge of war.

    Not to mention the pale complexion of Alos, Jupienne’s complexion also hardened when they reached the border with Gold Cross.

    Just before setting off on horseback, a mine approached.

    “You?”

    “I am the commander in charge of guarding this area. I have come to see you to wish you good luck.”

    “Thank you.”

    The captain bowed his head politely.

    “Please give those Gold Cross guys a good beating. I look forward to the day when you will become the Grand Duke.”

    It was an unexpected story.

    The deputy commander, who has never met him before, is supporting him.

    “It’s not just me. There are many frontline soldiers who support you, Confucius.”

    “Why?”

    “Because Confucius has proven his own worth through his own strength so far.”

    It was a simple, but solid reason.

    No matter what, the most important thing to Mine is strength.

    “In particular, Confucius did not avoid any difficult situations he encountered, but overcame them all with his own strength. Many people came to respect him after seeing that.”

    Ordinary minds also have eyes and ears.

    We all know that Chris has been treated unfairly for a long time.

    Especially since Ashed’s recent actions have gone too far.

    But Chris has overcome every obstacle to get to where he is today.

    I couldn’t help but be amazed.

    ‘Of course, I think this succession test is too much. But they are making a mere 4-year-old Confucius take the succession test.’

    The first succession test.

    Establish achievements worthy of the name of Gaju against the Union bastards.

    It is an impossible condition.

    But what’s even more amazing is that Chris confidently accepted the offer.

    As if I could do anything.

    The amazing feats didn’t stop there.

    ‘He decided to take care of the Gold Cross’s affairs on his own as part of the succession test.’

    There was an uproar among the people who heard the rumor.

    Most people said that Chris made a rash decision to pass the succession test.

    It was obvious. It was something that could never be done.

    There were also many voices saying that Chris had become drunk on his recent success and had lost his judgment.

    But some.

    Some people thought this way.

    -Wouldn’t Prince Christian perform another crazy miracle?

    The deputy commander was one of those who thought so.

    “If you can accomplish this, no one will be able to oppose His Majesty passing the succession test. I will be waiting for news of your succession.”

    The succession test is conducted in two stages.

    However, it was extremely rare for someone who passed the first test to fail the second.

    Of course, Chris is a collateral and there are still competitors, so passing the first test doesn’t necessarily mean he will become the Archduke, but it will get him right up to the point of becoming the Archduke.

    “Okay. I promise.”

    Chris smiled faintly.

    “The Dark Maga, no, beyond this Southern Magical Nation, the Magical Empire, the entire continent will be in an uproar. You can look forward to it.”

    It wasn’t just a story.

    When this is over, Christian’s name will be known throughout the continent.

    As Chris and his party mounted their horses, the minions lined up.

    “All hands, salute Confucius!”

    “May good luck be with you!”

    The group set off toward the border amidst heartfelt and resounding salutes.

    Was it because I received such a grand send-off?

    Or is it because we are heading towards the enemy territory?

    Jupienne and Alos’ faces both hardened more and more.

    The only one who has free time is Chris.

    Chris reached the border and thought to himself.

    ‘It’s almost time.’

    Just then, a cloud of dust could be seen rising in the area far away towards the Gold Cross.

    Looking at the flag, it was the Knights of the Union.

    “Huh, huh! W-They’re coming for us?! Th, Your Majesty, Your Highness! For your safety, we must retreat quickly…!”

    “Don’t make a fuss. It looks like they’re here to pick you up, so let’s wait here.”

    Chris stopped talking exactly at the border between the two sides.

    Soon the opponent’s figure came closer.

    They were knights wearing armor, and they had a sharp aura, as if they were an elite group of knights.

    At least 2 stars to 3 stars.

    There were also 4-star and above characters mixed in, but the best was the one at the front.

    “Are you the messengers of the Dark Maga? You stinking little brats.”

    Intense gaze.

    Even Chris felt a chill.

    A knight from the 6-star master class came out to greet them.

    But Chris still had his arms crossed and didn’t even look at the knight.

    The knight’s eyebrows twitched.

    “Can’t you hear what I’m saying?”

    “It’s noisy.”

    “…what?”

    “I am a representative of the Dark Maga. I am not someone who can dare to talk to someone like you, a guard dog.”

    “!!”

    The knight’s face turned bright red.

    But Chris paid no attention and turned his gaze away.

    Towards a young man with a pale complexion and a somewhat familiar face from behind.

    “Isn’t that right, Count Roy?”

    Yes, that’s right.

    Those who had come out to greet him now were the knights of the County of Bursen and the next heir, Count Roy.

    Chris saved me the other day.

    The reason why they came out to greet us was simple.

    Because Chris ‘ordered’ Count Roy to do so.

    For reference, Count Roy’s soul is still completely mortgaged to Chris and he is unable to resist any orders.

    Chris planned to take Count Roy with him on this occasion and use him as his puppet.

    It was the beginning of an ‘operation’ to overturn the Gold Cross.
