I Became the Genius Bastard of a Noble Dark Clan – 185

Chapter 185

Episode 185

“You won’t die. It’ll be a bit difficult, but I trust you and leave it to you.”

“Eww!!”

Alos screamed, but it was in vain.

Christian got on his horse, dragging the sad-looking Alos along.

But just as I was about to leave the castle, an unexpected person stopped me in my tracks.

A beauty with a calm and gentle impression.

It was Yurian.

“…Princess Yurian.”

“I was going to a dangerous place, but I stopped by to say hello.”

Yurian smiled faintly.

It was a pretty smile that seemed to brighten up the surroundings, but Chris couldn’t look at that smile comfortably.

‘Are you stronger than before?’

The power that is apparent on the outside remains the same.

But the devil’s aftertaste has grown stronger.

Traces that only Chris, who experienced the era of destruction, can notice.

‘You received an additional blessing from the devil. Why?’

Chris’s eyes softened.

More important than simply being blessed by a stronger demon was the ‘reason’.

All devil contract holders make a contract with the devil because they have a strong desire.

What is Yurian hoping for?

‘I never made a deal with the devil for the position of the head of the household.’

Yurian did nothing to interfere with Chris until he became the Archduke.

What she wanted was something other than a head of household.

‘I don’t see anything.’

Chris realized that he knew absolutely nothing about Yurian.

That I was too indifferent to her.

‘But one thing is certain.’

It was clear that Yulian had something eerie in her air.

The thrilling tension I felt from her now proved that fact.

Although he was smiling gently, it felt like a knife was pointed at him.

“Come to think of it, I didn’t properly congratulate you on your appointment as Grand Duke. I should have taken care of you as your older sister. I’m sorry.”

“You don’t need to act like that. You don’t have any intention of caring for me, do you?”

“!!”

In that moment, Yurian’s face hardened.

But then he quickly returned to his gentle expression.

“That’s not it. I think you’re special in my own way.”

“Are you talking about me?”

“Yeah, it’s weird, isn’t it? Actually, we’re not that close. I don’t really understand it either. Maybe it’s because you think you’re different from other people? I don’t really know my own mind either.”

Christian was left speechless by her rambling story.

Yurian laughed heartily.

“This time, you are planning to go to the western territory yourself, to save the people?”

“…What do you mean?”

“I heard that you cured the people during the Black Death incident at Gold Cross. I heard you even earned the nickname of Dark Saint.”

Chris made a surprised face.

This is a story that has not spread widely to the Magic Empire.

Because it was such a minor thing compared to other big things, no one paid much attention to it.

“Well, I just wanted to stop the cursed Maga’s tricks. I didn’t do it out of consideration for the people.”

“If the purpose was simply to sabotage, there was no need to treat the patients so diligently. I heard that they saved all the patients.”

“…I just used my ability, so I did it modestly.”

“Haha, that’s what makes you different from other people. There are many people in the world who are not only full of good intentions, but also full of evil intentions.”

Yulian continued speaking in a strange tone.

“To the point where they don’t care about the horrible things that send others to hell for their own greed.”

Chris flinched.

‘just now?’

It was said in a flowing manner, but it wasn’t true.

Chris just had a gut feeling that the story was an important clue to revealing Yurian’s ‘true face’.

“You sound like you’ve been through something similar.”

I tried to float it, but it was just laughed off.

“Well, haha. Anyway, I guess I held on too long. Have a nice trip.”

Yulian disappeared so suddenly.

Afterwards, Yurian, who had broken up with Chris, climbed up the castle’s spire.

I looked at the sky and felt the wind.

“Have you ever been through something similar, Ra?”

Yulian’s face turned bitter.

“Did I just experience it?”

A terrible scene appeared in her mind.

The hell she had to go through in the past.

If it weren’t for this, she wouldn’t have sold her soul to the devil.

Then, a high-pitched voice called her.

“How did you feel when you saw Christian?”

When I turned my head, a surprising figure appeared.

Brilliant silver hair.

A beautiful appearance like a woman.

At the same time, an eerie scar runs across the diagonal line of his face.

It was Prince Sherard who tried to kill Christian a while ago!

At that time, Sherard fell into Gehenna at Chris’ base, but returned without dying.

He didn’t just come back alive.

There was a ‘musical instrument’ swaying in the corner of the eye.

Evidence that Sherard became a demon contractor.

“Are you feeling better now, brother?”

“Ah, thanks. But isn’t it a bit strange to call him ‘brother’?”

Sherard chuckled.

“You’re not even my real brother.”

“!!”

An amazing, meaningful story.

Yulian did not deny that.

“Isn’t that something that doesn’t concern us?”

“Haha, that’s right. You desire the blood of the Dark Maga, and I just want to drink that blood with you.”

Sherard stuck his tongue out and licked the diagonal scar.

“So, what will Christian do?”

Yulian was silent for a moment.

She plans to dye the Dark Maga in blood.

But strangely enough, she didn’t want to kill Christian, even if she didn’t want to kill anyone else.

Especially with your own hands.

‘But for my purposes, I cannot leave Christian alive.’

If so, there is only one way.

Yurian said in a firm voice.

“You kill Christian. Take advantage of the opportunity during this recent incident with Maga.”

“Haha, okay. Christian’s life was mine anyway, and I had no intention of giving it up to anyone.”

Sherard raised the corners of his mouth.

A beautiful appearance like a woman, with a distorted scar and an eerie smile.

“I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of great performance you’ll show us this time.”

Sherard raised his hand and touched the scar on his face.

Madness was in her jewel-like eyes.

“Every time I think of Christian, this scar tingles. It still does. Oh, my heart is pounding with excitement.”

Sherard disappeared in a flash, and Yurian’s eyes became heavy.

‘I can’t help it.’

In the past, in a terrible hell.

She swore.

To become a devil.

So, everything was okay.

Then, a new threat began to loom behind Christian.

* * *

‘Yurien is in danger.’

On the way to the western territory, Christian thought.

I had no idea what her purpose was, but it was clear.

Yulian was in great danger.

‘I need to prepare.’

Perhaps, Yurian could have tried to do something during this extremely poisonous Maga incident.

If that’s really the case, then what was already difficult becomes even more difficult.

But it was okay.

‘Anyway, Princess Yurian won’t know what tricks I’m hiding.’

okay.

Whatever evil plan the Marquis of Goras, the most poisonous of the Magi, had hatched.

Whatever sabotage Marquis Langham tries to do.

No matter what dangerous knife Yurian throws.

It didn’t matter.

Just trample on everything and that’s it.

“Alos?”

“yes yes?”

“Do you remember what I told you to do?”

Alos’ face turned white.

“I believe.”

Christian’s ‘operation’ to fool everyone like this has just begun.

* * *

The next day.

Finally arrived at the western territory.

When we arrived at the western territory, we felt a very depressed atmosphere.

Fear of an unknown plague was gripping the people.

“What about them?”

“They are from the main family. Is that Archduke Christian?”

The face of a beautifully handsome boy appeared before the people.

“That person may be the greatest genius in the history of our family.”

“He could solve this epidemic.”

“Long live Archduke Christian!!”

“Viva!!”

A cry of hope burst out.

But Christian’s reaction was strange.

Normally, he would have made an arrogant and unlucky expression, but he just forced a smile.

There was a reason.

‘Eww!! This evil devil!! How dare you ask me to do something like this!!’

Because I wasn’t a Christian.

Chris also disguised Alos as himself using the insignia of the constellation and had him act as his stand-in.

Alos closed his eyes tightly and recalled the conversation he had had with Christian.

– Hey, you’re calling me a body double? I don’t know anything about poison or disease.

– It’s okay. It’s actually good.

– Joe, is it good?

– Since the goal is to deceive the enemies anyway, you can just show them how to wander around. No, if you really want to deceive the opponent, it might be better for you to get poisoned.

Alos swallowed hard after hearing that story.

I noticed that Chris’s goal wasn’t simply to find out the truth.

It was clear that he was using Alos as bait to blind his opponent and plot something terrifying.

– Oh, even so, you want me to be poisoned? I absolutely hate that!

– Yeah, no matter how much I am, I can’t poison you. I’m kind. Instead, here, this.

– … What, what is this?

– It’s an elixir. An improved elixir at that. It’s much more effective at increasing magic power than the original elixir. Even an idiot like you should be able to absorb it easily, right?

– …Why, why are you giving me such a precious thing?

Alos looked at Chris with suspicious eyes.

As expected.

– Instead, there are some side effects.

– …What are the side effects?

– You’ll experience symptoms similar to the plague that spread across the western territory. Oh, it won’t be too bad, so don’t worry too much.

– … Really?

– Maybe? He won’t die.

– Kwaaak! What is that ominous answer?! After all, isn’t it just going to make me as poisoned as you are?!

– Originally, good elixirs are poisonous to the body. If you don’t like it, just don’t give it to me?

The intention is to completely make the opponents let their guard down by sacrificing Alos.

Alos frowned, but he couldn’t refuse.

The elixir that Chris gave was originally something precious that even a collateral scum like Alos wouldn’t dare hope to obtain.

‘Ugh. This evil devil! Sob, Sir Roy, I miss you. When will I ever be able to get away from this devil?’

Today, Alos was particularly missing Count Roy, whom he had met at Gold Cross.

Meanwhile, Randol, a spy sent by the Marquis of Langham, snickered.

‘As expected, it’s nothing special. Well, that’s to be expected. No matter how much of a genius he is, he wouldn’t know much about poisons and diseases. Everyone praises him as a genius, so he must have gotten cocky and started doing it without even understanding the subject. How nice.’

Alos, disguised as Chris, was seen having a blast.

‘His Highness the Marquis of Langham told me to sabotage it somehow, but there was no need to do that.’

Randolph wrote a letter to the Marquis of Langham.

The letter said that Archduke Christian had absolutely no need to worry about revealing the truth.

But there was something that the spy Randolph didn’t know.

What the ‘real’ Christian is doing now.
