I Became the Genius Bastard of a Noble Dark Clan – 146

Chapter 146

Episode 146

Olivia put her arms on her hips and glanced at him bashfully.

“We are a covenant, and if we don’t take care of ourselves properly and something goes wrong with our body, won’t that cause problems for our contract as well? If we don’t take care of ourselves like this….”

Olivia was in the middle of raising her voice when she suddenly stopped and said, “Ah.”

It seems he realized that his attitude was excessive.

Her cheeks turned slightly red.

“Oh, of course, I’m doing this because I’m concerned about the well-being of the pledgee. Don’t get the wrong idea, there’s no other reason for it.”

“Yeah, yeah.”

“Oh, please go in quickly. I told you to prepare some health food that will help you recover.”

“…You don’t have to worry so much about it.”

“Ma, I told you. You are not only my sworn enemy, but also a benefactor of our country, so I am doing this because I do not want any trouble to arise.”

Chris chuckled and nodded.

“Yes, then I will be sure to accept your favor. As your sworn enemy and benefactor.”

Olivia bit her lip as she watched Chris turn and walk away.

In fact, she too has been confused about her feelings for Christian lately.

My heart fluttered every time I saw him.

I also wondered if this was love.

Christian was an attractive man to anyone, except for the fact that he was a mine.

Since I received a lot of help from this work, it wouldn’t be strange if I lost my mind.

But Olivia flatly denied that assumption.

‘It’s definitely not something like love.’

On the contrary, this is.

“…Brother.”

Oddly enough, Olivia saw her brother in that mine.

I did some extra work while I was recovering.

To be exact, it was Olivia who helped to seize control of the kingdom of the pope, who became the next pope.

To be more precise, he helped to get rid of the rotten guys in the legal system.

‘This is my specialty.’

Chris’s mind was full of thoughts about the crimes committed by the rotten bastards of the law.

Like Miek, there were many who later committed huge mistakes that overturned the Gold Cross.

I secured the evidence and gave it to Olivia.

In the future, Olivia will use this evidence to cut out the rotten ones in the law courts.

I was a little worried, but I believed that he would do well.

‘Because she’s not the powerless Olivia of old.’

It was different from when it was just a simple succession.

Olivia is now the Pope, the most powerful person in the kingdom.

In addition, he had recently become a hero among the people for his contributions in preventing the Black Death and the coming of the Taoist Empire, and was receiving strong support.

She herself has a strong will to reform the law, so the law and Gold Cross will change in the future.

Chris was there to give Olivia some extra help to keep her from getting caught up in the other Gold Cross powerhouses.

‘It’s not just the law that has weaknesses.’

It has brought to the forefront the fatal flaws of each country.

It could be Olivia’s sword.

Olivia didn’t just get help, either.

I gave Chris an unexpected gift.

“What is this?”

“…Open it.”

Chris unwrapped the cloth and looked surprised.

It was a holy sword!

Not defective like Grunade, but proper.

“It was stored in the treasury of the law. It was called ‘Ernhild.’”

“Is it okay to give something like this?”

“Of course not. But since it was in a secret room that only I, the Dharma King, can open, there’s no way it’ll be discovered. And it’s something that hasn’t been used for a long time anyway.”

It wasn’t a top-tier holy sword.

Such holy swords are considered important symbols even within the kingdom, so they cannot be taken out.

Still, it was something that would be of immense help to Chris.

“Thank you. I will use it well.”

Besides that, Olivia gave another gift.

It wasn’t exactly a gift for Chris, but it ended up being a gift for him too.

The world has been exposed to the unjust accusations against the cursed prince, ‘Chris’.

The truth without any lies.

It was revealed that the former Pope Pentagel III had framed Princess Sistania and Chris, and that they were innocent of any crime.

“I want to restore my brother’s honor.”

‘… It’s meaningless.’ No.

It wasn’t meaningless.

It’s all in the past now, but at least the stigma that had plagued him in his previous life has completely disappeared.

Above all, my mother’s honor was restored.

“…….”

The repercussions of revealing the truth about the Cursed Prince were greater than expected.

The Karn Empire’s imperial family reacted immediately.

His mother, Princess Sistania, was the most beloved daughter of the previous Emperor of the Karn Empire. She was also the close sister of the current Emperor.

Princess Sistania, who had been excommunicated from the imperial lineage, was immediately reinstated, and ‘Chris’ was also recognized as a member of the imperial lineage of the Karn Empire.

Although it was already dead and completely meaningless, ‘Chris’ also became the heir to the throne of the Karn Empire.

‘It’s almost time to leave now.’

Recovery was slower than expected, so I ended up staying for a long time.

My body wasn’t fully recovered yet, but I felt I had to leave since I couldn’t waste any more time.

Before that.

There was finally a place to go.

Late at night, Chris left the room.

The place he headed to was a remote graveyard in the kingdom of law.

A place where sinners are buried.

It was where his mother was buried.

‘I should say hello.’

Even though they separated when they were young, Chris never forgets memories, no matter how young they were.

At that time, he vividly remembered his mother hugging him.

I placed the anemone I had found in the middle of the forest in the graveyard.

‘It’s all over, so now you can rest in peace.’

It was the moment when I was about to turn my back.

“Anemones are Princess Sistine’s favorite flowers.”

“!!”

Soft voice.

Chris felt goosebumps run down his spine.

‘You didn’t notice me approaching at all?’

I slowly turned my head and saw a slender woman wearing light armor standing there.

Looks like he’s in his late 20s?

The energy felt was not strong.

But that’s just completely draining the energy.

Chris knew who that woman was.

I swallowed dry saliva.

‘I am Asran, the Vice-Captain of the Imperial Guard of the Karn Empire.’

It was a 7-star knight!

One of the strongest men in the Karn Empire has appeared.

Even his outward appearance was only suppressed by his powerful mana, but his actual age was much older.

‘Why did you come?’

Tension rose, but he soon shook his head.

It wasn’t that he came here to target me.

Above all, he knew Asran well.

She wasn’t the type to be hostile out of the blue, no matter how evil the opponent was.

He is like one of the few remaining lights in a decaying and sinking union.

“You seem to know who I am. It’s unexpected that the Prince of Dark Magic recognizes me.”

“If you don’t know the lightsaber of the Karn Empire, then you are not qualified to be a mine.”

Actually, that wasn’t the reason.

He had a deep connection with Asran in his previous life.

‘Because you were my loyal subject during the time of destruction.’

loyalist.

It’s an awkward expression, but it was true.

Before joining the band of warriors, Chris once led a ‘giant force’ that was on the verge of collapse.

Of course, I only took on the role for a short time, and I kept my identity a secret. If I were to show myself as a representative of a huge power, I would only become a target for assassination.

‘That’s why the warriors didn’t know that I was once the representative of a great power. Because I kept it a secret.’

It was Asran who helped him at that time.

Even Asran had sacrificed his life for him.

When the huge force led by Chris was completely destroyed.

If Asran hadn’t sacrificed his life to buy time, Chris would not have survived.

Although he felt happy to see her because of their previous life connection, Chris hid his true feelings.

‘I see you’ve come to see your mother. I heard that your mother and Asran had a special relationship. Did you say that you were originally your mother’s bodyguard?’

As if his guess was right, Asran turned his gaze away from Chris and laid a flower on the tombstone.

Likewise, it was anemone.

After a moment of silence, Asran did something unexpected.

He bowed his head towards Chris.

“thank you.”

“!!”

“I heard that Confucius revealed the truth. Thanks to Confucius, I can relieve the resentment of the person who was most precious to me.”

No matter what, the 7-star knight of the Union bows his head to Mine.

Asran’s adventures did not stop there.

“If there is anything you wish, I will repay Confucius with whatever I can.”

“…Are you serious? I’m Mine.”

“Of course, others may criticize me if they see it. However, I think it is more wrong to pretend not to know the favor I received. Instead, please understand that I cannot grant unreasonable requests from my perspective.”

An embarrassing story.

But this was Asran’s original personality.

A sword of light that looks straight at the opponent without any prejudice.

‘So, compared to your abilities, your position within the Karn Empire is not good.’

Chris was troubled.

‘Anyway, please. What do you want?’

It’s an opportunity too good to pass up.

‘The best thing would be to have you become my assistant.’

Not now, though.

There will come a time in the future when you will have to be active in the Karn Empire as well.

Because the Karn Empire is the most important power in the Alliance, along with the Holy Empire.

‘Even if I ask her to be my assistant out of the blue, she won’t accept it.’

Chris soon had a good idea.

‘Oh, that’ll do it. I just need to do something that will earn her trust.’

Ultimately, partnerships are based on trust.

If he can make Asran trust him, she will naturally become his assistant.

As it happened, something just seemed right.

“When you return to the Karn Empire, please take good care of the Crown Prince.”

“!!”

Asran’s expression hardened.

“What does that mean?”

“I can’t tell you the details, but our Dark Maga’s intelligence has received some strange information. I was wondering what to do, and since I happened to meet Lord Aslan, I thought I’d tell you.”

Chris added shortly.

“Even though I am a mine, I can’t pretend not to know about the disaster that is about to happen.”

The word disaster was not a lie.

Soon, a great event will occur in the Karn Empire.

I was just sitting there because I had no way to do anything, but it would be nice to borrow Asran’s hand.

“…….”

Asran kept his mouth shut.

A look of confusion as to how to take it.

Chris shrugged calmly.

“Isn’t that a difficult request? As a member of the royal guard, it’s my duty to look after the Crown Prince’s surroundings.”

“…That’s true.”

“Your Majesty, you are simply doing your duty, and if by chance you find out that something bad is happening, you should simply act according to your duty as a nobleman.”

Asran shook his head.

“Confucius seems to be different from other people in some way.”

“…….”

“Anyway, I understand. I will try to do as Confucius says.”

Okay.

Given Asran’s abilities, he could probably prevent the worst from happening.

By doing so, you will be able to gain Asran’s trust.

“Then I’ll take my leave.”

Chris felt Asran’s gaze on his back, but he returned to his quarters without looking back.

‘Oh my, I’m dying. I just came and went for a bit, why is this so hard?’

My physical condition was worse than I thought.

‘That’s right. You’re enduring the backlash of the constellation’s annihilation with your body. If you keep doing this, aren’t you going to suffer from internal injuries for months? This is a big deal.’

Chris had a serious look on his face.

Actually, it was only a few months. It wasn’t a long time.

But it was different for him.

Because Chris has a few months to work countless miracles.

‘First of all, if I go back to Dark Maga, the second test will start right away. If I’m in this state, it’ll be a problem.’

Chris recalled the second test content.

As the family succession test is a test with a long history, the content was set.

The second test was much less difficult than the first due to the nature of the content.

It is rare for someone who passes the first test to fail the second.

‘But that’s the case for general succession. I’m different.’

Usually, you have to be at least 6 stars to challenge the Dark Maga’s Succession Test.

Chris, on the other hand, is now only about 5 stars. As a mine, his actual achievements are considered 4 stars.

By the way, don’t think, ‘It’s only a 4-star award?’ because this is an achievement made in just over a year and a half since returning.

Considering that Chris started training when he was just a toddler and reached 4 stars before he was 20, he was considered a genius of all time, and you can see how quickly he achieved success.

‘Anyway, my level is far lower than that of other successors who took the succession exam.’

Therefore, the perceived difficulty of the second test was bound to be significantly higher compared to other successors in the past.

‘Considering my achievements, the second test may be more difficult than the first.’

In that situation, it was clearly bad news since my physical condition was not good.

‘When I get back, I need to recover as quickly as possible.’

Fortunately, he had visions of a noble family.

If I made a few elixirs and ate them, I could shorten the recovery time.

‘What kind of elixir would be best… to make… .’

While I was thinking about this and that, I fell asleep.

It’s because I easily lost physical strength due to poor condition.

Silence had fallen, and the room was illuminated by quiet moonlight.

Something unexpected happened.

Sssss.

A faint fog settled over the room, and a figure appeared.

It was unbelievable.

Originally, Chris had extremely sensitive senses, so no matter how tired he was, he never failed to notice the approach of others.

It was the same even if the opponent approached while keeping his/her presence low.

But the person who had just appeared didn’t seem to be hiding his presence at all, and Chris didn’t notice it at all.

There was a reason.

Finally, the moonlight broke through the clouds and illuminated Inyoung’s face.

She was a girl of amazing appearance.

She had a face that still had a youthful look, just before she became an adult, but she possessed a beauty that took the air around her breath away.

Her white skin and delicate facial features gave off an air of elegance and nobility, as if she had been carved by the heavens themselves.

Her crimson hair flowing down to her shoulders and her purple eyes were incredibly captivating.

Sharp fangs visible within her slightly parted red lips indicated that the girl was a vampire.

This was no ordinary vampire.

A blood cross engraved on the forehead.

It was a symbol that symbolized the ruler, the most noble and noble among the True Blood Clan, the upper vampires.

Vampire Princess.

Idrine, the Archduchess of Blood Sword Maga, has appeared.

He was later to be called the Demon King of Bloodshed.
