I Became the Genius Bastard of a Noble Dark Clan – 129

Chapter 129

Episode 129

‘What should I do?’

The identity could not be revealed.

Even if I wanted to say it, it was impossible.

His original identity was impossible to reveal due to causality.

Even if I tried to offer comforting words to someone I was seeing for the first time, there was no way he would accept it.

Above all, Chris had an instinctive intuition.

Olivia’s heart was not in a state to be moved by a few words right now.

I felt the walls closing in firmly.

‘I hope you’re doing well.’

Chris sighed.

There was no choice.

It was decided to prescribe a strong drug.

“I asked why you were here.”

“Ah. I came out of curiosity.”

“…What did you say?”

A miserable smile appeared on Chris’ lips.

“I heard that this is where the cursed prince, a crippled bastard, lived. I wonder if he really was the seed of the devil.”

“!!”

Olivia’s face lit up.

“How dare you! Take back what you said right now and apologize.”

“What if I can’t do it?”

“I will make you kneel at your brother’s grave and force you to apologize.”

A wild story, not typical of Olivia.

But it wasn’t an empty boast.

A cloud-like white light began to emanate from Olivia’s body.

An intense energy that makes the skin tingle and tense.

‘Was Olivia’s power this strong?’

As a child, Olivia never revealed her powers, so she had no idea about them.

Just looking at the power that was revealed just now, it was at least the power of a 4-star or higher.

‘It’s an ability that focuses more on auxiliary areas than combat.’

Olivia’s powers were different from those of a knight or a wizard.

The power of the Awakened One who inherited the blood of the constellation.

‘That power is the key to solving this problem.’

For reference, only one person in the Argentine royal family of the Law Nation awakens the Holy Blood every few generations.

So currently, only Olivia could use the Holy Blood’s power.

“I just called a retard a retard. I don’t know why you’re angry.”

“this person…!!”

It was at this moment that Olivia, unable to bear it any longer, took out a small staff and aimed it at Christian.

“He died without saying a word despite being falsely accused. He must be an idiot.”

Olivia stood tall.

“What… does that mean?”

“It is true. I heard that the cursed prince was born with the seed of the devil.”

Chris shrugged and looked around the room.

“I don’t feel any trace of the devil here.”

“…….”

Olivia swallowed.

“How, how do you know that? No one can see the devil’s traces.”

That was right.

There was no way for any paladin or inquisitor to detect any traces of the demon just by looking at them.

Because the devil hides his power.

‘For this reason, there are many innocent victims. Since they cannot be recognized by their outward appearance, they accuse innocent people of being devil worshippers, torture them to get forced confessions, and burn them at the stake.’

In a way, Chris was one of those victims.

Although no demonic aura was found on Chris, the people of the Law Kingdom assumed that the demon had hidden its traces.

“Our Dark Maga has a secret technique for detecting the aura of the devil. Even when I use that method, I can’t feel any aura where the devil’s seed resides.”

That’s a lie.

There is no such method.

By the mid-Age of Destruction, such a device was being developed to ferret out hidden demon worshippers within the Coalition, but it did not yet exist.

“More than anything, doesn’t Your Majesty know?”

Chris smiled faintly.

“That the cursed prince had nothing to do with the devil.”

“!!”

“You knew that, so aren’t you in such despair? Feeling guilty for not being able to save him.”

Clang!

The staff she was holding fell to the floor.

Olivia opened and closed her lips with a pale, exhausted face, unable to utter a word.

Yes, that’s right.

Olivia knew it too.

But she couldn’t save Chris.

Because she was still young, she didn’t have the power to save Chris.

Finally, tears streamed down from Olivia’s eyes.

“…So what are you trying to say?”

Olivia growled.

“Who are you to be acting so smart?!”

It was a howling cry.

A chill ran through Chris’s heart at the sight of his younger brother, but he couldn’t help it.

Now I had to get her moving somehow.

Even if that’s the way it hurts.

For Olivia.

It wasn’t just to prevent her ruin.

If only for the sake of her wounded heart.

This process was necessary, if only to prevent her from being completely destroyed by the terrible truth she would face later.

“I just feel frustrated because I’m just lost in sadness.”

“What do you know…!”

Chris blurted out.

In a different voice than before.

“Don’t you want to tell the truth?”

In an instant, the surroundings became quiet.

Olivia’s eyes widened.

“That… what?”

“If the cursed prince had nothing to do with the devil, then someone must have framed him. Isn’t that right?”

“…….”

Olivia swallowed.

A voice was heard, as if the devil was whispering.

“If you wish, I will reveal the truth with the power I have. Even though it may seem like this, I have many talents. However.”

Damn it.

Chris took a step forward.

The distance between them narrowed, and Olivia looked at Chris with blank eyes.

Chris lifted his finger and wiped away the tears streaming from Olivia’s eyes.

A low voice flowing out softly.

“Are you ready to face the truth, no matter how ugly it may be?”

“!!”

Olivia’s eyes wavered.

In the shadows.

Christian’s bloodshot eyes seemed to glow darkly.

Pupils filled with inexplicable pain.

“What… do you mean? The ugly truth?”

Olivia asked, seeming incomprehensible.

‘Olivia probably doesn’t know yet that the Pope is the mastermind behind the plot against my mother.’

When Chris’s mother was accused of being the devil’s pawn, it was not the Pope himself who intervened.

Above all, the Pope always showed himself as a good father to Olivia. Unlike Chris, he loved Olivia as his daughter.

So Olivia didn’t know that her father was such a horrible monster.

Not yet.

‘Maybe it’s for Olivia’s sake that we never know.’

But that was impossible.

At the end of this story, Olivia will face the terrible truth.

“…Can you really reveal the truth?”

“Of course. It’s enough if I use the abilities I have. But there is a condition.”

“What is it?”

“First of all, you will personally cooperate in revealing the truth about this Black Death.”

Olivia nodded.

She turned away in disappointment, but it was something she had to do.

“Is that all?”

“Of course, there is another condition. I would say that the second condition is the one I really want.”

Olivia’s face hardened at the ominous tone.

“What on earth are the conditions?”

Chris looked at her quietly for a moment.

A moment of doubt spread across Olivia’s blue eyes.

Chris said.

“Please make a ‘pledge’ with me.”

* * *

“!!”

Olivia’s eyes widened at the unexpected story.

“What are you talking about? A pledge all of a sudden?”

“Oh, please don’t misunderstand. This is an offer I’m making because I want to join hands with the princess.”

A covenant is literally a promise containing mutual oaths.

If the terms of the promise are broken, there is a huge price to pay, so it has strong binding force.

The content of the promises varied greatly.

From simple contracts, to vows between lovers, to master-servant relationships, etc.

Among them, what Chris proposed was ‘alliance’.

‘I will often be working within the union in the future, so I need someone within the union who can give me strength.’

Olivia would have been a good fit.

If this goes well, Olivia will become one of the most noble people in the Union.

Of course, Olivia’s reaction was not good.

“…Do you think I would accept that condition?”

Chris is mine.

She is the polar opposite of the saintly Olivia.

Aside from that, she sees Chris for the first time.

What makes you make such an oath?

“I’m not asking you to decide right now. We can work this out together, and you can watch me closely before you make a decision.”

“…….”

“I guarantee you, the princess will trust me.”

Olivia furrowed her delicate brow at those confident words.

‘I feel sick.’

actually.

When Olivia first met Christian, she felt a heart-stopping shock.

Even though it was clearly my first time seeing him, I felt an excruciating pain as if my heart was being torn apart.

Something incomprehensible.

‘Is it because my name is the same as yours?’

That’s why it doesn’t make sense.

Above all, her brother Chris and the mine in front of her had absolutely nothing in common.

If I had to choose, I would say they’re both handsome?

Are you good at talking softly?

Something like a genius?

‘If my brother had grown up in a proper environment, he would have grown up to be a cool person who wouldn’t have had to deal with such an unlucky guy.’

Olivia’s heart ached as she thought of Chris again.

Only she knows in this world how great Chris, who was pointed out as the devil’s seed, actually was.

Above all, her brother Chris was a warm and kind person. To the point where it was insulting to compare him to that unlucky Mine.

– Thank you always.

Chris always told Olivia that, but it wasn’t true.

Rather, it was always she who received help.

Olivia recalled her past with Chris.

Our first meeting was by chance.

‘I ran away crying from the burden, and by chance I arrived at the tower where my older brother was.’

childhood.

Olivia was carrying a huge burden on her shoulders.

Because she was an Awakened One of the Holy Blood who had appeared for the first time in 100 years.

Everyone in the kingdom wanted her to awaken even more powerful powers, and she had to spend every day honing her powers.

Without any rest.

With everyone’s expectations on his shoulders.

It was a suffocating burden for her, who was not even ten years old.

Her older brother, who had been struggling in the misery of always feeling trapped behind bars, met her by chance and said this to her with a blank face.

– You can take a break and then go.

Why is that?

Those words touched her heart.

Olivia burst into tears in front of her brother whom she was seeing for the first time.

After that, Olivia often went to see Chris, and every time, Chris gave up his seat next to her without saying anything.

If it weren’t for that warmth, Olivia would have collapsed under the pressure of her childhood.

That’s not all.

Chris even saved her life. Several times.

30%.

It was the probability that the Awakened One of the Holy Blood would finally fully awaken their power.

Just because you’ve broken the Holy Blood doesn’t mean you can use its powers smoothly.

The power of the constellations is an extremely difficult power for humans to handle.

If you twist it in the middle, your strength will run wild, or your body will collapse internally, and you will most likely lose your life.

In particular, there is no more than one awakened Holy Blood per generation.

So, I had to learn how to handle my strength on my own, without any help from anyone.

Olivia also had a near-death experience, and it was Chris who helped her.

– That… the energy below the navel, gathered in the right shoulder… .

It’s really incomprehensible.

Chris knew how to wield the power of the constellations.

When I asked him, he said he just instinctively knew how to do it. He just saw how the energy moved.

It was then that Olivia realized for the first time that Chris was no ordinary being.

Thanks to that, Olivia survived the brink of death, and it happened again and again.

If it weren’t for Chris, Olivia would have been dead a long time ago.

There were other graces I received from Chris as well.

As a saint, she could not share her feelings with anyone. When she was alone, he became her friend and gave her spiritual comfort.

As I grew up and realized the terrible reality of the law country that was different from my ideals, it was Chris who gave me the strength to pull myself together.

I still can’t forget the whistling music Chris used to play while rolling up leaves to cheer me up when I was feeling down.

Besides this, there were countless things I received from Chris.

That’s why.

That’s why Olivia misses Chris so much.

Chris wasn’t just a simple older brother.

He was her benefactor, her teacher, her confidant, her friend, and her everything.

‘But I killed him.’
