I Became the Genius Bastard of a Noble Dark Clan – 35

Chapter 35

Episode 35

“I hope that Count Tyramine will clear up his grudge with Count Kazar in the future.”

“!!”

“I hope that we will not be enemies who point their teeth at each other like we are now, but rather, we will have a relationship where we can develop properly through competition and reconciliation. As befitting the name of blood relatives.”

Count Tyramine was unable to respond to Chris’s words, perhaps because they were unexpected.

Two counts.

We haven’t been on good terms for a long time.

At first it was a common competition between collateral families, but now it was not at that level.

We became like half enemies.

There was a reason why it happened that way.

“Even if our two families are at odds, wouldn’t it only be good for our main family?”

“What does that mean?”

“I’m sure your Majesty knows this too. The reason our two families are at odds is because of the secret plots of the main family. If the collateral families join forces, it would be a threat to the main family, so they did it.”

Count Tyramine took a deep breath.

What Chris said was true.

It was a common occurrence.

It is to cause antagonism among subordinate forces in order to solidify one’s dominance.

The two counts knew it too.

Although he realized too late that he had been caught up in his family’s schemes, the relationship between the two families had already deteriorated to the point where it could not be.

“…Are you planning to rebel against your family?”

“No way? I don’t want to do that at all. I just know it’s wrong, but I don’t have to be swayed by the master’s masterpiece.

“…You’ve changed.”

Chris smiled instead of answering.

Full of confidence.

It was a smile that showed Chris’s change more clearly than a hundred words could say.

‘earthly.’

Count Tyramine let out a sigh.

He knows the old Chris well.

How did the garbage collector become like this?

The ability was astonishing, and even the dishes were admirable.

They are trying to use this opportunity to unite the two feuding families.

Although he was only a young boy of fifteen, he was no ordinary vessel.

“Yes, I will do as you say. I will contact Count Kazar separately soon. There is no reason to fight unnecessarily even though we know it is wrong as you say.”

“thank you.”

“So that’s the end?”

Count Tyramine looked straight at Chris.

“I think there’s something else you really want from me.”

As expected, it was a small, slender snake of a different size.

I saw through Chris’s inner thoughts.

“Yes, that’s right. I have something to ask of you, Uncle.”

Chris slyly changed his title to uncle.

Count Tyramine noticed this fact, but did not say anything.

“I want to become a Confucius. Please support me.”

“!!”

Count Tyramine opened his eyes wide.

“Confucius? Are you in your right mind? You are a collateral.”

“I know of no family law that says a collateral line cannot become a prince.”

“Are you saying that? Even if it wasn’t prohibited by law, there has never been a case in the history of the Dark Maga where a collateral branch became a prince.”

Count Tyramine was right.

It is not prohibited by law.

However, that does not mean that it is possible.

The fact that there has never been such a case in history proves how difficult it is.

but.

“So you think it won’t work?”

“!!”

“I think I can do it.”

Count Tyramine had no answer.

Of course, Chris showed off his great skills in this Tyramine Counts.

You can see how great Chris’s abilities and talents are after breaking the shell.

But the collateral line is a prince.

No, it’s not just Confucius that’s the problem.

To become a Confucius meant to challenge for the position of the next head of the family.

It was impossible.

however.

“I don’t think I’m dreaming in vain. No, I think I have a good chance of success.”

“…Why?”

“That’s because I am much better than other students.”

Absurd confidence.

But this was Chris’ honest truth.

A congenital disadvantage of being a collateral?

Unfair starting line?

Check on the power of the main family?

What does that have to do with anything?

If you can overcome everything with your abilities, that’s it.

Above all, his ultimate goal was the pinnacle of the Magic Empire.

The competition between Confucius was only the beginning.

“under.”

Count Tyramine let out a hollow laugh.

It was an absurd story that would make anyone laugh if they heard it, but strangely enough, no one actually laughed.

There was a strange magic to Chris’s confidence.

I will definitely do it.

No, when I see Chris’s arrogant confidence that he can do something like this, I really think, “Maybe it’s possible?”

Chris delivered the final blow to Count Tyramine, who was unable to give an easy answer.

“More than anything, aren’t you angry, Uncle?”

“What are you talking about?”

“To Marquis Langham.”

“!!”

Count Tyramine’s face hardened.

Marquis Langham.

The one who currently leads the Dark Maga, replacing Nogaju Nordian.

It was the Marquis of Langham who caused the Counts of Tyramine and Kazar to be at odds with each other.

“I guess that’s why they thought of our collateral families as guard dogs. Of course, I can’t formally protest this.”

Chris said meaningfully.

“If I were to take away your succession, it would be sufficient revenge.”

“!!”

The second prince, Ashde de Baron, who is currently considered the most likely successor, was the son of the Marquis of Langham.

Moreover, the first prince, the first princess, and the third prince were all children of the Marquis of Langham, so eliminating them and becoming the next successor to the family would be sufficient revenge.

“…What an absurd thought.”

“Is that so?”

“But it’s strange. I think it’s obviously impossible, but I feel like cheering you on.”

Count Tyramine shook his head and gave me a sharp glare.

“I’ll answer. For now, it’s a rejection. You’re just talking nonsense, but you haven’t proven anything yet. You’re not worthy of the support of our Tyramine Counts.”

Chris read between the lines.

That word was not ‘rejection’.

“You’re asking me to prove my qualifications.”

“Yes, if you prove yourself worthy of the position of Confucius, we, the Count Tyramine family, will stand behind you.”

Chris smiled faintly.

“It won’t take long. Please wait.”

It was conditional acceptance, but that didn’t matter.

I’ll more than prove my qualifications.

That’s how the story ended, and Count Tyramine gave another unexpected reward.

“Take this meeting.”

“Uncle?”

This was the meeting I originally intended to request as compensation!

“This sash is yours to take, since you earned it. You can think of it as a gift from an uncle to his nephew.”

Chris didn’t decline.

“I will gladly accept it. If you have any other gifts to give, please feel free to give them to me.”

“What? Haha!”

Count Tyramine laughed cheerfully and really gave me one more gift.

Demon Summoning Stone.

It was an artifact that allowed one to store the demon and summon it whenever desired.

Since it was difficult to carry a demon around on a regular basis, those who had mastered the art of summoning would store the demon in a summoning stone and carry it around like this.

“This is a summoning stone that can store up to 4-level demons.”

“thank you.”

Chris said sincerely.

The price of Summoning Stones increases exponentially as the level increases.

A 4th-grade summoning stone would be worthy of being called a treasure.

‘It’s still too difficult to handle a level 4 demon beast, but it could come in handy later.’

Although he ruled over Karazov, it was only temporary and he could not be used in battle.

In order to control a demon and use it in battle, you must be able to control its every move as if it were your own hands and feet.

It will certainly be possible as time goes by.

Count Tyramine brought up another story.

“But how did you fight the demons?”

“…….”

Count Tyramine tilted his head.

“It would have been impossible for you to fight the demons with your own strength, so how did you hold out until the demons were summoned back?”

Count Tyramine seemed to have no idea that Chris had destroyed the Demon Race.

It was obvious. Because it was impossible.

I just misunderstood that the demons fought and endured until time passed and they were summoned back to Gehenna.

It was an incredible feat just to fight and survive against the demons.

“that….”

Using the Shine Blade was a secret that had to be kept.

I was trying to beat around the bush, when suddenly I heard an unexpected voice.

“Let me ask that story.”

“!!”

Chris and Count Tyramine’s faces hardened.

I didn’t notice anything at all, but then someone suddenly appeared next to me.

And Count Tyramine’s eyes widened as he recognized the face of the person who had appeared.

“Butler General?”

“Yes, it’s been a while, Count.”

Pale as moonlight.

The man bowed his head with a sculptural smile.

“I am Simon, the chief butler of the Dark Maga. I have come to see Master Christian.”

* ? ?* ? ?*

The butler.

That was Simon’s job.

“…Then let’s talk.”

“Thank you for your consideration.”

Count Tyramine stood up from his seat with an embarrassed look on his face.

It seemed like he didn’t like Simon.

Chris understood Count Tyramine’s reaction.

‘You look a bit awkward.’

People have feelings.

You can tell just by looking at someone whether they are a good person or not.

It’s an unfounded feeling, but surprisingly, it’s often accurate.

In that respect, Butler Simon did not seem like a good person at all.

Although it was our first meeting, there was a strong feeling of danger.

‘But is this really our first meeting? Why do you look so familiar?’

Christian tilted his head.

It was definitely my first time seeing you, but strangely enough, your face seemed familiar.

It wasn’t a mistake.

I’m sure I’ve seen it before.

A face that looks exactly like that.

‘Have you ever met during the Age of Destruction?’

Chris recited the name Simon.

The name also sounded somewhat familiar.

It wasn’t the first time I heard that name.

It was a name I had heard in a previous life.

‘Simon, Simon…? Are you crazy?’

Chris’s eyes widened as a thought flashed through his mind.

I remembered!

Where did you hear the name Simon?

“Why is that, Young Master?”

Simon tilted his head in front of me.

“…no.”

“Hmm?”

Chris tried not to show his surprise.

My heart was pounding.

Simon was not a big name during the Age of Destruction.

But there were a few very famous people associated with Simon.

‘If it’s Simon, he’s the master of the leader of the Blood Shadow Demon Sect.’

Blood Shadow Demon Sect.

They were the worst psycho group that committed indiscriminate slaughter and terrorism regardless of whether they were part of the Magic Empire or the Crusade Alliance.

Danju was a demon who had reached the 8th level, and by the end of the Age of Destruction, he had reached the 9th level and become the tenth Demon King.

Because of the leader of the Blood Shadow Demon Sect, the group of warriors almost died countless times.

Simon was the teacher of such a terrible person.

‘That’s not all.’

Chris swallowed hard.

In fact, being the master of the Blood Shadow Demon Sect leader might not have been much of a deal compared to this.

Simon’s other identity.

‘He is the blood of the Demon King of Blood.’
