I Became the Genius Bastard of a Noble Dark Clan – 128

Chapter 128

Episode 128

But in the end, I couldn’t draw my sword.

A choice that even I don’t understand.

Miek growled, hiding his confusion.

“Consider yourself lucky that you came as an envoy. Otherwise, my sword would not have withstood.”

“Hmm. You don’t have to show any consideration for us. Maybe it’s because we’re the cowardly Union guys, but we’re being very considerate.”

As Chris grumbled, Miek clenched his fists.

But he tried hard to suppress his anger.

Making excuses like this.

‘No matter how great the opponent may be, it is not the behavior of an honorable knight to cut down an envoy who has not even finished his business.’

Miek denied the sense of crisis he had just felt.

It makes no sense to feel threatened by an opponent who is only a 4-star.

‘I’ll deal with it later when I have the chance. If I come up with a suitable excuse, I can cut off a few limbs. I’m looking forward to it.’

Miek’s eyes flashed cruelly.

Meanwhile, Chris shrugged his shoulders at the sight of Miek like that.

‘That’s too bad. Well, it doesn’t matter. This isn’t the only chance.’

Miek was glancing at him with a fierce gaze, and it seemed like he was going to get in trouble soon.

‘I’d rather use that guy to shake up the law.’

An idea popped into Chris’ head.

It was a way to swing the tables in his favor by taking down the bastard.

It won’t be difficult.

Anyway, the atmosphere became even more tense because of the two of them bickering.

The knights of the law glared at Chris as if they were going to kill him.

Count Roy, who had been following along without realizing it, had an anxious expression on his face as if he had become a target, and Alos, who was also a coward, whispered in a voice that made his heart pound.

“Well, Confucius, from now on, be a little more careful with your words….”

“what?”

Alos made a face that looked like he was going to burst.

“Hey, this isn’t the Demon Empire, it’s the territory of the Alliance….”

Chris interrupted and asked absentmindedly.

“Alos, who are we?”

“…I am an envoy representing the Great Darkness Maga.”

“But? Are you saying that because you are afraid of your opponent, you should shrink your neck like a turtle?”

“…….”

“Don’t forget. Our actions will soon symbolize the Dark Maga. Even if this place is small, no, even if there’s a knife to our throat, we must be confident. Do you understand?”

Alos lowered his head with an embarrassed expression.

“I will keep that in mind.”

Chris shrugged.

‘Actually, well, even I, who say this, don’t think much of the honor of the Dark Maga.’

However, there was actually a reason for this caution.

Because he was in the process of taking the succession exam.

Passing the succession test perfectly was as important as solving the Gold Cross problem.

It was better to be careful not to cause anyone to complain that the prestige of the Dark Maga had been tarnished.

At that time, Jupien, who was quietly training his muscles alone with a portable strength machine without paying attention to the surrounding noise, asked quietly.

… For your information, unlike her doll-like appearance, Jupien was an eccentric hard worker. She was the type to be engrossed in training regardless of time and place, such as following others on horseback while riding.

“What are you going to do from now on?”

“First, we must meet Princess Olivia first. The Pope will not meet us in person.”

The moment I heard Olivia’s name, my heart fluttered slightly.

We’re finally meeting.

‘Because we didn’t meet for a long time in our previous lives.’

After leaving the family, we never met again.

After the Age of Destruction begins, Olivia meets a terrible death.

In the Age of Destruction, who would not have met a miserable death, but Olivia’s death was one of the most horrific.

When I thought about that time, my heart ached.

Jupienne frowned when she saw Chris like that.

“What’s wrong with you?”

“…why?”

“Where are you looking with that painful expression on your face?”

“…It’s a mistake.”

“No. Something is strange. Come here.”

Jupienne touched Chris’s forehead with her palm.

“You don’t have a fever. Or are you under a death curse? Come back to me, my unlucky brother.”

“…What are you saying? Why am I your younger brother?”

“You’re younger than me. So you’re my younger brother. I want to beat you up and crush you under my feet.”

“…Stop talking nonsense and get your hands off me.”

Chris pushed Jupienne’s hand away and controlled his expression.

‘You have to be careful.’

Olivia doesn’t know herself.

I had to treat her thoroughly as a man.

“Anyway, I will work with Princess Olivia to resolve this situation. Princess Olivia’s awakened power of Star Blood will be helpful in this matter.”

“Will they really cooperate? We are mines.”

Jupienne questioned skeptically, but Chris nodded firmly.

“certainly.”

The Olivia he knew was someone who would not hesitate to jump into a fire carrying straw for the sake of her people.

I won’t hesitate to join hands with Mines.

however.

“I cannot meet Princess Olivia.”

“…what?”

“Princess Olivia is currently in long-term seclusion.”

“…….”

A fat-looking palace butler came and informed Chris and his party.

“Don’t even dare to think about meeting the princess. Just follow the guide we give you and investigate the truth yourself, whether you want to or not.”

Figure it out.

The story was that he would not cooperate in any way with the investigation.

The guide who gives you directions is a watchman who could turn into an enemy with a knife at any moment.

“I’m warning you in advance, if you show any suspicious behavior while I’m investigating, I’ll immediately decapitate you and send you away with your corpse. So keep that in mind.”

After saying those words, he disappeared without a trace.

“…….”

Chris kept his mouth shut.

‘This is difficult.’

Olivia had to accompany him in his plans.

‘It’s strange. In this emergency situation, you’re just sitting here praying?’

That wasn’t the Olivia he knew.

Chris, who felt something was wrong, said to Marie.

“Is there any way to find out what’s wrong with Princess Olivia?”

[Ohhoho, of course. I’ll be right back.]

Marie came back really quickly.

In her hands was held a young ghost with a pale face.

[This is a ghost who has been living in hiding in this castle. I think you should ask him.]

The bachelor ghost knelt down in fear, wondering what had happened to Marie while he was being dragged in.

[Well, I’ll tell you anything, just spare my life!]

“…Don’t kill me. No, if you’re already dead, why are you asking me to save you? Do you know about Princess Olivia?”

[Yes, yes? Of course I know.]

“Why is she praying in seclusion? Surely it’s not for some romantic reason, like praying to the constellations to drive away the Black Death. What’s going on?”

[that is….]

The bachelor ghost rolled his eyes.

When I hesitated to answer, Marie burst out laughing.

[Our cutie is too tight-lipped in front of the master. If she splits her lips up and down, will she be able to speak more smoothly?]

[I’ll tell you right now!!]

The bachelor ghost continued speaking hurriedly.

[Oh, it’s been a long time since Princess Olivia came to live here.]

“Long? Why?”

[Because of the death of the cursed prince.]

“…what?”

After a moment of silence, a question came out as if out of sync.

“…What does that mean?”

[Princess Olivia was devastated after the death of her brother, the Cursed Prince.]

Did you sense Chris’s sinking mood?

The bachelor ghost continued speaking, keeping an eye on things.

[He takes responsibility for his death and lives in seclusion, refraining from all outside activities.]

* * *

‘No way, Olivia was doing that.’

I couldn’t even imagine.

‘I thought you’d be doing well after I disappeared.’

I took a step forward.

The place he was walking now was the remote back of the Argentinean royal palace.

He was a mine, and he roamed the castle freely, but no one could stop him.

In the first place, this is an ominous place that no one visits.

The place where the former queen, who was the devil’s lackey, admitted her guilt and took her own life in front of her son.

At the same time, it was where her cursed seed was trapped.

The ‘Tower of Sorrow’ appeared before Chris.

‘It’s been a while.’

Chris looked at the tower with renewed eyes.

When I was young, it felt like a huge, insurmountable despair, but now I see that it was just a small tower.

I didn’t feel anything special.

It must be because of the era of destruction that Chris experienced.

My childhood memories felt faded because of the experience of living through that terrible chaos where the whole world turned into a living hell.

Something like that just happened? Something like that.

It was for a similar reason that his hatred towards his father, the Pope, was as calm and indifferent as a deep lake.

‘Still, it wasn’t a place I wanted to come back to.’

The reason I came here was because there was someone I needed to meet.

Creak, I opened the rusty door and went inside, revealing the inside of the tower.

It was bleak and narrow, as if it were intended solely for confinement.

As I climbed the stairs that were familiar yet unfamiliar, the room I stayed in as a child appeared.

As expected, it’s narrow.

A space where a window overlooking the emerald river is the only hope.

There was a person there.

We met after a long time apart.

“nice to see you.”

Chris said, raising the corners of his mouth as usual to hide his emotions.

“Princess Olivia.”

* * *

Olivia looked just like Chris remembered.

A young appearance, perhaps in her mid-teens.

Emerald green hair. Sapphire eyes that look like jewels.

She was a girl with an angelic appearance, like a fairy in a fairy tale.

However, it wasn’t exactly the same as the memory.

‘Why are you so skinny?’

It was so dry that I felt a sense of pity.

It wasn’t just his skinny appearance that had changed.

“Mine?”

Olivia frowned.

“Are you an envoy from the Dark Maga? Are you the new divinity of the Dark Maga, Prince Christian?”

Olivia seemed to know about Christian.

“I understand that the palace butler has arranged to meet you. What is happening here?”

A prickly tone.

Chris had never heard Olivia speak like that before.

Even if the other person was an unforgivable sinner, wasn’t it Olivia who sent a warm voice?

‘I don’t think it’s because I’m a mine. Did your personality change? Maybe because of my death?’

It was embarrassing.

I didn’t expect this situation.

The bigger problem is that it doesn’t seem like it’s just a prickly personality.

‘The eyes are completely closed.’

I remembered the story I heard from the bachelor ghost that Marie had captured.

Olivia’s depression has worsened over time and she now refuses to engage in any outside activities.

‘It’s difficult.’

Chris frowned.

Let’s put aside the sadness of seeing our little brother, whom we haven’t seen in a long time, in ruins for now.

This is why Olivia couldn’t solve this case properly.
