    Episode 184

    But since the work had already progressed quite a bit, it couldn’t be helped.

    ‘They say that the people of the poisonous Maga never forget their grudges. Oh my. This bastard Christian. What kind of grudge do you have against me!!’

    As I was clutching my head in pain, Chris spoke in a teasing voice.

    “Instead of turning the poisonous Maga into enemies, you will turn the Goras Marquis’ group into enemies.”

    “Isn’t that what you’re saying? The most powerful faction in the poisonous Maga is the faction of the Marquis of Goras!”

    “That’s the story so far.”

    Chris crossed his arms.

    “Everything will be different after this incident.”

    Ruina flinched.

    Chris had an inkling that something scary was up his sleeve again.

    “But even though the prince is great, to overthrow the Marquis of Goras….”

    Marquis Goras was a powerful demon lord of the 8th rank and controlled over 70% of the forces of the extremely poisonous Maga.

    Even Chris didn’t seem to be able to stand up to someone like that.

    Besides, isn’t Chris not a character from the extreme poisonous Mark, but just an outsider?

    but.

    “You must have heard what I said at the inauguration ceremony of the Archduke. I intend to bring the other houses under the banner of the Dark Maga. So why would someone as small as Marquis Goras be a problem?”

    Ruina swallowed hard.

    What an absurd story.

    But Chris’s tone was calm and composed, without any pretense.

    As if talking about something that can be done, of course.

    ‘What on earth are you thinking?’

    I couldn’t guess.

    What was even scarier was that this absurd story didn’t seem like a lie.

    “Of course, this isn’t the only thing that will bring down Marquis Goras. However, it will be enough to turn the tables on the poisonous Maga.”

    “…….”

    “Once this is over, the poisonous Maga will be in a position where he won’t even care about your superiors. So you don’t have to worry too much.”

    Ruina coughed.

    “Well, then. Let’s trust Confucius.”

    “Aren’t you going to say thank you?”

    “Oh, thank you?”

    “Yes. I gave you the opportunity to make a lot of money, but don’t you think I’m being too grateful? No matter how kind and generous this country is, I feel a little disappointed.”

    Ruina opened her mouth.

    This is it, it was a fart expression.

    “You didn’t even send a gift for the appointment of the Grand Duke.”

    “…I sent it? In the name of Rudolph of Dark Maga. I sent an incredibly expensive gift?”

    “Didn’t you send it to me separately? Of course, you should have sent me some personal funds as well.”

    Why are you like that, like an amateur?

    Ruina opened her mouth wide at his blatant attitude of trying to rip her off, and Chris spoke as if he was being kind.

    “It’s very disappointing, but considering our friendship, I’ll just send some medicine and relief supplies to the western territory.”

    “Wh, what…!!”

    “Well, it’s not like our Dark Maga doesn’t have money, but I’m afraid that Marquis Langham will interfere in the process, so there will be problems with procurement.”

    Chris said bashfully.

    “Furthermore, since this will allow you to publicly show favor to the Dark Maga, I don’t think it’s a bad thing for you either. Especially if it’s for your true ‘purpose’.”

    Ruina kept her mouth shut.

    Chris noticed that he was taking advantage of me in this way out of consideration for himself.

    Up until now, her relationship with Chris had been strictly ‘person to person’.

    However, when her superior aids the Dark Maga at Chris’ request, her relationship with Chris is elevated to a public one between the ‘Great Prince of the Superior vs. the Dark Maga’.

    This means that Chris will be able to watch over her from the position of the Grand Duke of Dark Maga.

    Especially considering Ruina’s true ‘purpose’, she should have requested this first, as she needs the protection of those with the most power.

    ‘Eww!! Why does it feel like I’m being ripped off like this! This bad guy! This devilish guy!’

    My balls are swollen.

    I couldn’t tell if it was because she was a money grubber or because she found Chris annoying.

    Chris handed me the papers in an even more spiteful manner.

    “Okay, stamp it.”

    “…What is it?”

    “Since this is a formal transaction between the great families of the relief industry, a contract must be written. Wouldn’t it be better for you to leave a formal document like this? If you don’t want it, then don’t.”

    Ruina stamped her seal with a chewing face.

    “Okay. This is the list of items I need. It’s urgent, so send it quickly right now. If you’re late, I’ll sue you for damages.”

    “Ugh! What kind of compensation is this! You won’t be late, so hurry up and get out! I don’t want to see your face anymore!”

    Every time I spoke to Chris, my suit would burst and my life seemed to be shortened by a few months.

    After Chris disappeared, Ruina calmed down and looked through the documents Chris had left behind.

    “crazy?”

    On the back of the document, in a corner that was hard to see, there were small letters listing ridiculously expensive items.

    “You evil, damn demon!”

    * * *

    Now, he is about to depart for the western territory, and as he is the Grand Duke, he is followed by an attendant.

    “I have decided to invite you. This is Randol.”

    A strange face.

    ‘It’s the Marquis Langham’s side.’

    Chris uses Marie, who has control over the ghosts that inhabit the main mansion, to gain access to a lot of secret information that others don’t know.

    According to that information, the Randolph who had just appeared was a person who was secretly following the Marquis of Langham.

    ‘This is a trick to sabotage me.’

    If we follow the rules, it would be right to kick them out.

    Chris smiled faintly.

    ‘Great. I’ll have to use this guy.’

    Chris planned to use the bastard in reverse to strike the back of the heads of Marquis Langham and Marquis Goras.

    “Okay, I understand. Please take care of it. Get ready to leave first.”

    Chris greeted him appropriately, bit the bastard, and then looked at the others.

    It was Melin, Alos, and Jupienne who always followed me around like a magnet.

    “Let’s go. My heart is pounding at the thought of decapitating those poisonous bastards together with the Archduke.”

    “…I, I…do I have to go?! I have to train, and I’m stupid so I won’t be of any help in this matter…!!”

    “Let’s go quickly. I’m bored.”

    We each spoke, but Chris unexpectedly shook his head.

    “Melin, don’t follow me.”

    “yes?”

    “You’re not going to be of much help in uncovering the truth about this anyway.”

    “But wouldn’t there be bloodshed?”

    As expected from a battle fanatic, Merlin seemed to be excited to fight the poisonous Magarang.

    “I have something else for you to do.”

    “which?”

    “It’s important.”

    Chris lowered his voice so no one else could hear.

    Merlin’s eyes widened as he heard the whisper.

    “Surely not, my lord?”

    “Yes, you are right in thinking about what you are guessing.”

    Chris had no intention of letting this situation end with just revealing the truth about what happened.

    The plan was to cause an even bigger accident.

    I’m trying to prepare in advance for that plan through Melin.

    “Ah. As expected, this is the master I have chosen to serve. This is more than I expected. I will carry out your orders with excitement.”

    Merlin licked her tongue as if she was excited.

    “Jupien, you don’t come either.”

    “Why? I’m smart. I’ll help you find out the truth.”

    “…You, a passionate fool?”

    “He’s smart.”

    Jupienne said confidently.

    She may look absent-minded, but she has a sharp edge to her, so it might not be a wrong statement.

    “You have other things to do too.”

    “What is it?”

    “Take this.”

    Jupien tilted his head as he received the stone from Chris.

    “Illusionary stone?”

    It refers to a magical tool that contains a sense of welcome.

    “These are training illusions that will help you with your swordsmanship. Practice them as much as possible to become stronger.”

    “!!”

    “You can’t be of any help to me with your current strength.”

    It’s a harsh story, but it’s true.

    Of course, Jupienne’s qualities are not bad.

    Since he possessed the highest stamina, he could easily grow to the highest level of mine, 7 stars or higher, in the distant future, but the problem was present.

    It had to be at least 5 stars to be of his strength.

    ‘The one good thing is that Jupienne has already prepared the dishes sufficiently.’

    What is needed to become strong is the ‘vessel’ and ‘enlightenment’ that serve as the basic foundation.

    While Chris was in a situation where his enlightenment was not followed by the vessel, Jupienne was the complete opposite.

    She is the best training bug in all of Dark Maga.

    Except when he was eating and sleeping, no, even when he was eating and sleeping, he had such a strong spirit that he practiced in his own way, and he had a more solid foundation than anyone else.

    The problem was enlightenment.

    ‘Fortunately, it is relatively easy to experience enlightenment indirectly through the art of welcoming.’

    The stone Chris gave him was full of the enlightenment he needed to move upward.

    ‘Of course, this doesn’t necessarily mean that quick achievements are possible.’

    Even if he was given an indirect experience, it was Jupien who had to make the enlightenment his own.

    But Chris thought Jupienne could do it.

    Because I haven’t seen anyone with Jupienne’s tenacity in my previous life.

    “…Why are you doing this to me?”

    Jupienne looked speechless for a moment, as if she knew that the gift Chris had given her was a great coincidence.

    “Are you doing this to exploit me more?”

    Chris raised the corners of his mouth in a spiteful manner.

    “Don’t forget. I am now the Archduke, and you are now a servant who must work for me.”

    It’s not just Jupien.

    It seems that everyone in the Dark Maga has become Chris’s puppets.

    Jupienne laughed and snorted.

    “I will become stronger and definitely trample on you.”

    “Yeah, yeah. The higher the goal, the better. Go quickly.”

    The last one was Alos.

    “I, I don’t have to go either, right? What should I do if I stay in the family?!”

    “What is left? You have to follow me.”

    “Huh, huh. I’m stupid and incompetent. I’m not afraid of being poisoned…!! I’m afraid of holding the Archduke back for no reason!!”

    Alos went to the western territory where poison was prevalent and floundered around as if he was afraid of being poisoned.

    “Don’t worry. You’re already strong. You wouldn’t die easily from poison, would you?”

    “T-What are you talking about?! As if I’m really going to get poisoned.”

    “Oh. Right. You should be poisoned.”

    No, one is not poisoned, one ‘must be poisoned’.

    There is a significant nuance that suggests Chris is up to something using Alos.

    “I think I misheard something?”

    “Oh, well. I’m not really going to poison you. No, it’s something similar in the end?”

    “Yes? Yes? Your, Your Highness?! Are you kidding? Haha. Your Highness. You have a great sense of humor to make such jokes.”

    “This is not a joke or a lie, so listen carefully.”

    “yes yes?”

    Chris lowered his voice.

    “There is something I need you to do when you go to the western territory.”

    “what?”

    Alos swallowed fearfully.

    And after hearing Chris’ explanation of the ‘operation’.

    “If I do something like that, won’t I die?!”
