I Became the Genius Bastard of a Noble Dark Clan – 147

Chapter 147

Episode 147

Why did it appear?

Idrine looked at Christian with low, sunken eyes.

Soon after, another person entered the room.

He was like a subordinate serving Idrine, a member of the same vampire bloodline.

“You’re completely asleep. As expected, your power is truly amazing.”

If it had been someone else, no matter how high the opponent’s level was, Chris would not have missed the movement.

This happened because of the power of Idrinne, the next vampire lord.

“But why did you have to go this far?”

“…because I had to check it myself.”

Idrine opened her mouth.

It was a gentle yet cold voice.

“Whether Prince Christian will be of help to us or not.”

It was an unexpected story.

Leaving Chris’s previous life behind, Bloodsword Maga and Dark Maga are enemies, so how can they help each other?

“If our Blood Sword Maga wants to stand against the Anax faction, which is led by the Curse Commander, we need the help of the Dark Maga.”

“…But isn’t that almost impossible?”

Blood Sword Maga is currently in crisis.

So much so that they even hoped for help from their long-time enemy, the Dark Maga.

But there was absolutely no chance that Dark Maga would help Bloodsword Maga.

but.

“You never know. If it’s Prince Christian here, it might be a little different. He seems completely different from other ordinary mines.”

Idrine, the grand princess of the Blood Sword Maga, came to the distant Gold Cross to stop the conspiracy of the Four Kings that occurred in the Kingdom of the Law.

She also belongs to the Four Kings, but she is in opposition to the Anax faction that was causing trouble in the court this time.

But when I actually arrived at Gold Cross, everything had already been resolved.

Thanks to the unbelievable miracle that Christian, the boy right in front of you, performed.

Adeline was convinced after hearing rumors about what exactly Christian had done.

That Christian is a completely different being from ordinary people.

“It’s because we don’t like each other, but from Dark Maga’s perspective, wouldn’t it be good for them to form an alliance with us? If our Blood Sword Maga falls, it will be Dark Maga’s turn next.”

“…That may be true, but.”

The woman in charge nodded her head sheepishly.

He still looked skeptical.

“Unless the young lady is engaged to Prince Christian, an alliance between the two families will be impossible, right?”

“If you need to, just do it.”

“…yes?”

The female servant looked startled, but Idrine just said this expressionlessly.

“I’ve already sold my soul to the devil for the sake of my family, so why should marriage be a problem? It’s not uncommon for political marriages to occur between noble families.”

“…Still, that’s a bit much. Of course, Prince Christian would be more than enough to be your spouse… But if you convert the young lady’s age into human terms, the difference between them isn’t that big.”

The woman in charge muttered in a trembling voice.

For reference, Idrine was a true vampire, just about an adult.

“Well, I wasn’t talking seriously either. Even if I brought up the subject of marriage, Prince Christian wouldn’t accept it. We’re enemies.”

If you want to form an alliance with Dark Maga.

First, we need to slowly find a way to improve the relationship between the two families.

“But how long will Prince Christian live? It seems like he will die soon.”

“…What do you mean?”

“Christian Prince, you are currently in the process of taking the succession test, right? According to the tradition of the Dark Magic Family, the next test is to take up a position in the ‘Dark Magic Army’, right?”

Dark Demon Army.

It was the elite legion that Dark Maga was proud of.

The crystallization of the power held by Dark Maga.

“I guess so. But what’s the problem with that?”

Idrine tilted her head.

“Of course, given the current achievements of Prince Christian, it might be difficult to pass the second test, but there’s no particular danger in it, right?”

“If our Four Kings Castle stays still, that’s how it would be. The Dark Demon Army’s main enemy is our Four Kings Castle.”

“…What does that mean?”

“I heard that Anax’s group is planning to intervene in the Dark Lord’s leadership in a few months. It coincides with the time when Prince Christian is taking his exams.”

Idrine’s face hardened.

But soon he shook his head.

“Isn’t the Dark Lord’s leadership also formidable? The commander, Marquis Shupen, is a 7-star mine. Anax and his faction can’t do anything reckless unless they’re thinking of an all-out war….”

“Generally speaking, yes. But you are aware of who the Anaxes are dealing with, right?”

Idrine’s face hardened.

“Surely, ‘they’ are intervening?”

“Maybe. With a high probability.”

“…….”

The girl sniffled.

”They’ are like a natural disaster. If ‘they’ really intervene, then with the power of Prince Christian now, there’s no way we can survive.”

The female attendant next to him spoke with concern.

“It’s impossible to stop it anyway, and if something happens, you’ll have to escape alive, but looking at it now, your health isn’t very good. I wonder if you’ll be able to recover in a few months. Unless you take the highest-grade elixir from a famous medical institution….”

Idrine examined Christian’s body.

‘My internal injuries are serious. I heard that you prevented the descent of the Taoist spirit. Is this an aftereffect of that?’

It will get better after a few months of rest, but the problem is time.

Christian will face the worst before his body can fully recover.

Idrine was deep in thought and then brought up an odd topic.

“…Let me ask you something. Prince Christian is our benefactor, right?”

“What kind of benefactor are you?”

“Didn’t you stop that Merhen thing at Gold Cross this time? If it weren’t for Prince Christian, Anax’s faction would have gained more power, and we would have been in even more trouble.”

“…Well, if you think about it that way, I did receive a favor. But why all of a sudden? Could it be, Miss?”

Idrine nodded honestly.

“As an honorable descendant of the Great Blood Sword Maga, I must repay the favor I have received.”

“No way, miss?”

Idrine approached Christian.

The woman’s eyes widened, and Idrine lifted her finger and placed it on Christian’s forehead.

Then something amazing happened.

Paat.

A cloudy blood-red aura rose from Christian and headed towards Idrine.

at the same time.

“Coolook.”

Idrine coughed. Blood gushed out.

“Miss?! What are you doing? Why the power of self-sacrifice?!”

The female servant reprimanded with a white face.

It was the unique power of the vampire princess.

Transferring the other person’s bad physical condition to oneself.

In fact, Christian had become much more rosy than before, while Idrine’s face looked as if she had caught a new illness and was as pale as a corpse.

“Didn’t I tell you? As a descendant of the Blood Sword Maga, this is an action I took to repay a favor.”

“what….”

The female servant shook her head repeatedly, but Idrine looked as if it was nothing serious.

“It’s okay. My body is strong. Anyway, I’ll go now. It looks like the effects of the power will wear off soon.”

“yes yes.”

The two disappeared as suddenly as they had appeared.

* * *

The day of departure has arrived.

‘…Why did my body get so much better?’

Chris tilted his head.

The internal injuries that had been bothering him since he woke up last night were completely gone.

‘This isn’t natural. It’s definitely someone’s work. Who is it?’

Chris’s eyes became serious.

It was fortunate that I felt better, but it was strange that someone had been there and no one noticed.

‘Even if someone of high status had visited, it makes no sense that I didn’t notice at all.’

Of course, there were some people who could do that.

‘For example, the Demon Lord of Blood. No, she is currently the Grand Duchess of the Blood Sword Maga. With her power as the next Vampire Lord, she could do such things while avoiding my senses… but that is a ridiculous idea.’

The opponent restored him.

Absolutely not.

For now, I decided to focus on the task at hand.

“Are you going now?”

“…Okay. But why did you come out so far?”

Chris looked at Olivia and said in a bewildered tone.

The place where Chris and his group are now is a warp gate. It is connected to the border of the Magic Empire.

The first time I came I was not permitted to ride a horse for security reasons, but now Olivia, the new pope, has given me permission.

‘But why did this guy follow me here? The warp gate here isn’t that close to the law kingdom.’

He asked Olivia with a puzzled look.

As it happened, there were only two people around.

“Do you have anything else to say to me?”

“…….”

“Anything is fine, just tell me.”

Olivia bit her lip.

“…Will we meet again?”

“…Did you come along just to ask something like that? Of course, you’ll see me again.”

Chris tilted his head in surprise.

“If I have nothing more to say, I will go now. Take care.”

In fact, it was not that he didn’t feel sorry about breaking up with Chris and Olivia, but dragging it out would only make the regret grow.

‘This isn’t the last anyway.’

As I turned my back, I suddenly heard a pounding sound in my chest.

“…Brother.”

“!!”

Chris’s face hardened.

I didn’t mishear. I clearly called him ‘oppa’.

‘…how?’

But then I heard Olivia say weakly:

“…I’m sorry. Whenever I see you, I strangely think of my older brother. I apologize if I offended you.”

“…No, it wasn’t unpleasant.”

Chris shook his head, his heart pounding with surprise.

‘Did you instinctively feel something similar? Blood is scary. There’s absolutely nothing similar about me in my past life and me now.’

That was the last time I spoke to Olivia again.

It’s time to leave.

Before he crossed the warp gate, he turned his head and saw Olivia staring at him with her hardened eyes.

Chris looked into those eyes and suddenly a question occurred to him.

‘…What happens if Olivia finds out my identity on her own?’

Because of causality, he could not reveal his identity.

But what if Olivia finds out his identity on her own?

Before I could continue my thoughts, my vision changed. The warp gate had been activated.

and.

“Your Majesty, please go back.”

“Please wait. I would like to be alone for a moment, so please move the knights back.”

Olivia stared blankly at the spot where Chris had left.

Strangely, my heart felt empty.

Incomprehensibly.

Above all else.

– Prince Christian knows about Princess Sistine. Did His Majesty the Pope tell you?

A story came to mind when Lord Asran of the Karn Empire came to visit him.

Christian went to Princess Sistina’s grave and laid a wreath with her favorite flower.

‘But I never told you. No, I didn’t even know that the former queen, Princess Sistine, liked anemones.’

How did Christian know that?

No, why did you go to Princess Sistinela’s tomb in the first place?

A puzzle that doesn’t fit.

‘…no way.’

In that moment, Olivia’s heart felt as if it had been pierced by lightning as the thought occurred to her.

I remembered that the other day, when I was fighting in Archduke Bintz, that mine showed me the appearance of ‘Chris’ as a welcome.

It seemed too real to be based on her subconscious.

Especially the last whistle sounded so Chris-like.

She shook her head forcefully.

‘This is ridiculous.’

It was impossible.

Above all, I was afraid of having expectations based on hasty assumptions. I would collapse in disappointment.

but.

…isn’t that really so?

“ah.”

Suddenly, tears flowed down from her eyes.

I reached out belatedly, but Christian had already disappeared beyond the warp gate.

Olivia just stared blankly at the spot where Christian had disappeared.

* * *

Chris and his party passed through the warp gate.

After passing the border area and finally arriving at the territory of the Magic Empire, an unexpected sight unfolded before my eyes.

“Uh, that one?”

Alos let out a surprised voice.

Countless lined up mines.

As Chris approached, a cheer that seemed to shake the heavens rang out.

“Be loyal to Confucius!!”

“I pay tribute to the military exploits of Confucius!!”

In front, I could see the unit commander I had talked to before leaving.

Chris smiled faintly.

“How is it? It seems like he kept his promise. Is it as good as you expected?”

Before leaving, Chris made a promise to the captain.

I have some surprising news to bring you.

“It’s not just that.”

The deputy commander bowed his head.

With respect and reverence.

“Look at all the people gathered here. No one ordered them to come here, but they have all come here of their own accord to pay their respects to Confucius. Considering the achievements Confucius has made against the Gold Cross guys, this kind of welcome is insufficient.”

Christian turned his gaze and looked at the gathered minions.

As expected of a Mine Legion, there were a variety of people gathered together, but they had something in common.

Respect and awe for Christian.

Originally, there were many supporters of Christian among the general public.

Because as a collateral bloodline, he stood tall as the successor on his own strength alone.

But this time, he returned after setting an impossible feat in Gold Cross, so even more Mines came to support Christian.

‘I think it would be better to respond.’

Chris raised his hand.

It was a simple movement, but it was enough.

“Waaa …

“Long live Prince Christian!!!”

As I walked towards the enthusiastic cheers, an unexpected person was waiting for me.

“!!”

His father was Count Khazar.

Count Kazar took Christian’s hand in his firm one.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

A brief greeting.

But Chris knows how much worry and negativity is mixed in there.

“thank you.”

“It seems like something is missing,” Chris added.

“father.”

As I said that, the disgust I felt towards my father in my previous life seemed to disappear.

There was also a Teren next to him.

Tern’s gaze was askew to the side.

“…older brother.”

“Title.”

“…Your Honorable King Emperor Majesty.”

“Yeah, why did you come?”

“I, I just followed my father! I didn’t come here because I was particularly worried about you!”

“…Really? The red pupils in your eyes look like you were crying while looking at the moon outside the window and worrying about this hyung?”

“T-That can’t be true! Absolutely not! Who, who cried out of concern for my brother!”

“…Don’t take yourself so seriously. It seems real when you do that.”

Chris thought bewilderedly.

‘I guess this guy has his own cute side. He feels completely different from Olivia though.’

After meeting the Pope, I feel like I realized the importance of family.

Chris decided to be a little more affectionate towards his little brother from now on.

“It’s been a while since we last met, how about a proper sparring match?”

“Okay, okay?”

“Why? You like getting hit by this guy. He’ll beat you up really hard especially for you.”

“Oh, really! Get out of here!”

Chris chuckled and ruffled Tern’s hair.

“I’m back.”

“…….”

Tern pursed his lips with a discontented look on his face and said.

“What you’ve done this time… is a little… no, quite a bit cool.”

Chris raised the corners of his mouth.

“This is just the beginning.”

“!!”

okay.

This Gold Cross was just the beginning of what Chris would accomplish in the future.

Soon, there will be chaos in the Southern Magic Kingdom where Chris is.

The conflict with the poisonous Maga.

The change of Jinnok.

The disaster of the destruction of Maga.

and,

The destruction of the ‘Demon King of the Clear Stream’ behind all of this, etc.

Countless things awaited him.

‘Before that, you must become the Archduke first.’

Chris looked north, toward where the Dark Maga’s homeworld was located.

The second test is to subdue the ‘Dark Army’.

To be exact, he had to subdue Marquis Shupen, the commander of the Dark Demon Army and the highest ranking demon among the seven stars.
