I Became the Genius Bastard of a Noble Dark Clan – 159

Chapter 159

Episode 159

“I apologize if I seemed presumptuous. I just wanted to set my sights high. It’s not easy to get the chance to spar with a strong person like Your Majesty.”

Marquis Schuppen frowned.

But he didn’t say anything.

As a mine, I can’t fault your spirit of wanting to challenge the strong.

However, I couldn’t help but think this way.

‘I should make him understand the subject properly. If only to change that arrogant bastard’s bald temperament.’

“Good. If you succeed in hitting me once, I will reward you as the head of the family. But that is only if you succeed.”

Marquis Schuppen said coolly.

“According to my schedule, the map training will start in a week. Be sure to come prepared. Whatever you imagine, it will be a much harsher lesson.”

The conversation ended with that warning.

Christian left Marquis Schuppen’s room with a meaningful expression on his face.

‘It went as planned.’

Does Marquis Schuppen know?

In the first place, Christian’s purpose was not to be taught.

Quite the opposite.

‘This sparring is not for me. It is for Marquis Shupen.’

An incomprehensible story.

Christian thought that if others heard it, they would doubt their ears.

‘I will raise the level of Marquis Shupen to the next level through map sparring.’

Chris’s absurd thoughts didn’t stop there.

‘I will make Marquis Shupen an 8-star.’

Nonsense.

It was a crazy story.

But I meant it.

‘It’s possible if you break through the wall that Marquis Shupen is currently facing.’

Chris lowered his eyes.

I thought back to all the appearances Marquis Schuppen had shown me so far.

Chris’s extraordinary intuition told him what wall Marquis Shupen was currently facing and why he couldn’t get over the eight-star wall.

‘This isn’t the first or second time I’ve raised the standards of others in this way.’

The reason the group of warriors grew so rapidly in the latter half of the Age of Destruction was thanks to Chris.

Chris instinctively saw through the obstacles each of the warriors was facing and offered timely solutions each time.

‘I must do this to save Marquis Shupen.’

Marquis Schuppen was murdered without anyone knowing who killed him.

That means the culprit has powers that overwhelm Marquis Schuppen.

‘It is clear that the culprit has powers equivalent to at least 8 stars.’

So, we had to make Marquis Shupen stronger to increase his chances of survival.

‘I can do it well enough.’

It was a time to demonstrate his abilities as a ‘true teacher’ who made the warriors’ party stronger.

* * *

After that, I had a busy schedule.

He simultaneously performed his duties as a captain and as captain of the guard.

‘As the captain, I left most of the small stuff to Sanin.’

The captain’s job could not be passed on.

Because we have to catch the culprit’s tail.

Chris first approached the people.

“Is there anything inconvenient?”

“Oh, it’s okay, Your Majesty!! Oh, how could you do that to us lowly people…!”

“What do you mean, cheap?”

Chris crossed his arms as if he didn’t like what the people were saying.

“You are the proud people of our Dark Maga. Never again should you call us lowly.”

Those who heard Chris’ story had moved faces.

Originally, the people were proud of being the people of Dark Maga.

However, everyone was moved when they heard this story directly from Christian, who was considered the next archduke.

“As the future master of Dark Maga, it is natural for me to keep an eye on you. If you ever need help with anything, please let me know.”

“Go, thank you!!”

“Recently, the activities of the Four Kings have been unusual. If you see any suspicious people, please report them immediately.”

“Of course! I’ll keep that in mind!!”

There was a reason Christian approached each and every one of the people.

Because it is impossible to catch the criminal without the help of ordinary citizens.

‘The culprit is most likely hiding in the streets.’

The Marquisate of Schuppen was a large fiefdom.

The second largest castle in the family after Barron’s Castle.

It is impossible to track down criminals hiding on the streets with just the security forces.

The cooperation of the people was essential.

‘Well, it would be good if I could win the hearts of the people by doing this. Later on, it would all become my strength.’

In addition to that, Chris reorganized the patrol system of the guards and strengthened security in the corners of the territory that people’s eyes do not easily reach.

Meanwhile, Merlin and Alos also did their jobs.

“Now we carry out the orders we received from Confucius.”

“Yes, yes, I will check to see if there is anyone suspicious hiding among the people! But why did Confucius give such an order…? Was there any kind of intelligence?”

“Well, I don’t know. But His Majesty wouldn’t have given an order without a reason. Maybe a high-ranking demon from the Four Kings Castle really did infiltrate, so we need to be alert.”

“F, the mine of the Four Kings Castle.”

Jupiendo also said that he was bored of just sitting still and went out with them.

The one who was most active among the group was unexpectedly Mari.

[Oh ho ho. Kids, who are we?]

[The Ghost Guard that follows the cool, wonderful, and awesome Christian Do-Lord!!]

[Yes, if you miss even one little rat, you’ll have to spend some deep and passionate time with me, so keep that in mind.]

[I will never miss a single rat!!]

After Marie subdued the numerous ghosts that haunted the Marquisate of Schuppen, she made Christian a guard to assist him.

“…But why is everyone so scared?”

[Ohhoho, I was just telling you how much I love you, Master. I can’t just leave someone who neglects the things you asked of him.]

“…okay.”

Chris looked bewildered as he watched the ghosts roaming the streets, their expressions blank.

Anyway, it was at a time when we were trying so thoroughly to catch the culprit’s tail.

Something suspicious happened.

An unidentified person has infiltrated the Marquisate of Schuppen.

“Phew.”

The person who entered the dark alley took a deep breath.

A breeze blew, faintly pushing back the hood of the robe.

And the face that was revealed was astonishing.

Blood red hair, purple eyes.

A vampire girl with an extremely beautiful appearance.

It was Princess Idrine of the Blood Sword Maga.

* * *

It was unexpected.

Idrine is coming to the Marquisate of Shupen, which is a small territory?

‘We must warn Prince Christian of the impending danger.’

A while ago.

Idrine got the information.

It was really information that ‘they’ would come out.

‘Prince Christian will surely die.’

There was one reason to care.

As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and Idrine wanted Christian to play a role in keeping his enemies in check outside the castle.

‘The best thing would be to form an alliance.’

Idrine shook her head.

Considering the relationship between the two families, that was still too much.

‘Still, if I convey this information, I might be able to ease the hostility towards Blood Sword Maga a little.’

So, you could say this was a gift.

For improving future relations.

‘By the way, security is tight today. It’ll be hard to approach.’

As a vampire princess, she possessed unparalleled stealth abilities.

The reason she came in person was because she was confident that with her abilities, she could enter and exit the Marquisate of Shupen without being caught.

However, the security of the castle was so tight that it was overly strict, making his confidence pale in comparison.

‘I have to be careful.’

Even if discovered in the worst case scenario, the body could be extracted.

Because her abilities were that outstanding.

But then I can’t pass the information on to Christian.

‘Let’s hurry.’

Idrine moved quietly through the shadows.

I remembered Christian’s scent from earlier, so I could roughly tell the direction.

‘It’s around here.’

But then a low voice came to her ear.

Dark and dark.

An eerie tone that seems to flow from the abyss.

[Idrine.]

Idrine felt goosebumps.

It was the voice she hated and feared the most.

It was the voice of the ‘devil’ who had made a contract with her.

She could never go against this voice.

“…Please speak.”

[Are you going to meet a man named Christian?]

Idrine was puzzled when the devil mentioned Christian’s name directly.

But this wasn’t anything special, since the devil had directly interfered with what she did before.

“I plan to do that.”

[It would be best to keep your identity hidden from the human named Christian.]

Idrine tilted her head.

A story that doesn’t make sense.

“Why?”

[For you.]

“…Is there a special reason?”

[The exact reason cannot be revealed due to causality.]

Idrine instinctively felt that the devil was hiding something.

But even if you ask, they won’t answer.

‘It won’t harm me.’

The devil ultimately wishes for her destruction, though.

I will not do anything that will harm her as a contractor.

‘It would certainly be dangerous to reveal one’s identity.’

The two families, Darkness and Bloodsword, were enemies.

The idea of improving relations was conceived solely by Blood Sword Maga, or more precisely, Idrin.

Therefore, once he found out that she was the Archduchess of an enemy family, there was no way Christian would treat her nicely.

Most likely they will try to cut your throat.

“Okay, I will do that.”

[Okay. I will help you hide your identity with my authority.]

Idrine’s appearance has changed.

The blood-red hair and purple eyes that were the symbols of the True Blood Tribe were still there, but the overall feeling was completely different.

‘…Why do you do this?’

Idrine frowned.

But there was no time to think about it further.

Christian’s presence was felt nearby.

‘Are you inspecting the castle? How honest.’

Idrine looked at Christian with renewed eyes.

There was no one in the kingdom of Sa-wang who cared about the lives of the people.

There was only utter fear.

‘There was a time when I also dreamed of becoming a monarch who looked after his people like that.’

Idrine thought bitterly.

It was an overly indulgent dream in a situation where survival was at stake.

‘I have to approach Prince Christian secretly.’

Not yet.

There were too many eyes watching.

As I was watching for an opportunity, something unexpected happened.

“Huh?”

Idrine flinched.

Christian disappeared from the streets!

‘Did you miss it?’

Vampires are a hunting species.

Especially, she is the one standing at the top.

Losing sight of a target was something that could never happen, something that should never happen, but it disappeared like a mirage.

‘no way?’

For a moment, a chilling sense of crisis passed through the back of her neck.

I turned my head quickly to the back and saw darkness flickering.

It was a black dragon!

“!!”

Adrienne craned her neck in surprise.

A black ray of light passed by precariously.
