I Became the Genius Bastard of a Noble Dark Clan – 55

Chapter 55

Episode 55

Long, dark blue hair, emerald eyes.

Very beautiful appearance.

He gave off an impression of intelligence, but his upturned gaze gave him the impression of strong self-esteem. He exuded a haughty charm.

‘Who are you? You’re not a Dark Maga?’

Chris looked puzzled.

She didn’t seem like an ordinary girl.

‘It’s a three-star realm.’

He looked to be in his mid to late teens, but his depth of knowledge was truly profound.

It wasn’t just a 3-star, it was a 3-star level.

Considering his age, it is an incredibly high level.

It seemed like his status wasn’t light either.

Behind the girl stood a group of mines. They were all of considerable force.

Their momentum was comparable to that of the elite minions of the Dark Maga.

But strangely, the girl seemed to know Christian.

“Do you know me?”

“…I don’t know you? Huh.”

The girl frowned sharply.

Angry reaction.

It’s not just girls.

The men standing behind the girl also looked at Christian with anger.

“After insulting me like that….”

“……??”

So, it seems like she’s a girl I knew from the previous ‘Christian’ days.

But Chris was just bewildered.

“No, wait.”

Chris was about to say something, but one of the other minions cut him off.

A glance of contempt directed at Chris is a bonus.

“Your Majesty, just go. You don’t need to worry about that kind of trash.”

“…okay.”

The girl took a deep breath and collected her emotions.

Then he looked at the bottles of alcohol Chris was holding and laughed.

As if looking at a disgusting bug.

“Drinking in broad daylight. You’re still the same.”

“…No, I mean, this is. Wait a minute.”

Chris said something, but I didn’t listen.

He disappeared with a cold face, as if he didn’t want to exchange a single word with him anymore.

“…….”

Chris made a face of absurdity.

What the heck is this all of a sudden?

Even though he tried to drink it to get rid of the alcohol, it was so frustrating.

‘…What kind of guy is he?’

But after hearing the girl’s identity, Chris realized why the girl reacted that way to him.

There was ample reason for such a reaction.

“This is Princess Marisa of the Poisonous Maga.”

The halfling butler who saw the commotion explained the girl’s identity.

Marisa.

A name that is both unfamiliar and familiar.

Chris’s eyes widened as he remembered the name after repeating it a few times.

“…My fiancée?”

“To be exact, she is my ex-fiancee.”

The halfling butler corrected him bluntly.

“Princess Marisa waited and postponed the engagement despite the disappointing appearance of the young master, but in the end, didn’t you break off the engagement after the young master insulted you so severely?”

* ? ?* ? ?*

Marisa, the daughter of the poisonous Maga, was gritting her teeth.

‘That son of a bitch.’

The image of Christian I had seen earlier lingered in my mind.

“Are you alright, Your Majesty?”

“…are you okay.”

No, honestly it wasn’t okay.

In the past, when Christian was a child. That is, when he was still sane before he became a rascal.

Marisa as a little girl.

Christian was Marissa’s immature first love.

I met him at a family gathering and was immediately captivated by him.

Even when we had a strategic engagement to bring about reconciliation between the two families, I remember how happy I was when I went into my room and banged on the mandragora doll.

But after that, Christian changed.

The elders of the family talked about breaking off the engagement because of the constant rumors about him, but Marisa refused.

I thought it was the wandering of my childhood and decided to wait.

But when she met him again, he gave her an unbearable insult.

The long wait ended in miserable wounds.

On that topic.

[Do you know me?]

A voice that says he doesn’t even remember her.

How can a human being do that?

“…Your Majesty.”

“…It’s really okay.”

Marisa took a long breath.

Now she had not come to the Dark Maga privately.

He was an envoy representing the opinions of the most poisonous Maga.

“Come this way, my lady.”

A high-ranking Dark Maga official led her, and soon she was confronted by a figure.

It was the Marquis of Langham, the deputy chief of the household.

* ? ?* ? ?*

“I came here to discuss the ownership of the relics recently discovered in the neutral zone.”

“Yes, what are the plans of the Dokdo Maga side? The Dokdo Maga side took the artifacts discovered last time, so are they planning on giving up the artifacts discovered this time?”

“That can’t be.”

The Magic Empire is divided into five districts.

A central territory ruled by Ma-Hwang.

And the four magical kingdoms of east, west, south, and north.

Among them, Dark Maga and Extreme Poison Maga belong to the Southern Magic Nation under the command of the Demon King of the Clear Stream.

Aren’t we close since we’re in the same kingdom?

Half right, half wrong.

The Southern Magic Kingdom cooperates when fighting external enemies.

When not?

They fight each other.

The two were the opponents with whom they had the most localized clashes.

There were many reasons.

Because of each other’s interests.

Because of pride.

I just want to fight.

The two families fought often.

But something troubling happened not long ago.

An ‘artifact’ appeared in the neutral zone between the two families.

The first poison was discovered and taken by Maga.

Even though the Dark Maga protested, the Poison Maga would never listen.

This was an incident that left the Dark Maga feeling very upset.

It was just a matter of ending like that, but then another difficult incident occurred not long ago.

Another relic was discovered in the neutral zone.

“I think that this relic belongs to our Dark Maga side.”

“Morality between our two families? That’s not something you should be saying. Even if Dark Maga was against it, would you have given in?”

Marquis Langham let out a sly laugh.

Never.

There is no way he would have yielded.

They must have tried to monopolize both relics.

“So, are you saying that whoever discovers the relic first should own it fairly?”

The exact location of the relic has not yet been confirmed.

“Yes, but. The expedition must be no larger than 20 people. Mines must be 3 stars or lower.”

“Is it to avoid conflict between the two families?”

If the main forces of both families are killed, it is inevitable that a large-scale conflict will occur.

So, that’s what I’m suggesting.

“Yes, if we shed a lot of blood on each other, it will only benefit other enemies. Recently, the situation in the ‘Four Kings’ has also become unstable.”

The two families had many enemies.

Close by is the ‘Destruction Maga’ within the same Southern Magic Kingdom.

Outside, the ‘Gold Cross’ of the Crusade Alliance.

Next to it is the Eastern Magic Kingdom of the ‘Evil Kings’, a union of the Commander, Blood Sword, and Curse Maga.

That was the reason why the two families bickered with each other but never crossed the line.

For your information, the ruler of the Magic Empire, ‘Magic Emperor’, does not intervene in any wars between the Magical Nations under his command. Not only that, he rarely gets involved in anything.

As if they were just bystanders. No, perhaps they were encouraging conflict between the two.

“Okay, I accept the conditions.”

“Really?”

Marisa looked surprised.

Since the last time the relic was taken from the poisonous Maga, it was expected that the dark Maga would use force to their advantage this time.

“Instead, there is one additional condition. If the Poisonous Maga side breaks their promise, we, the Dark Maga, will take ownership of not only this artifact but also the artifact discovered a while ago.”

“What do you mean by breaking a promise?”

“If you try to interfere with our exploration team with dirty tricks, that is. Traps and secret weapons are the specialty of the extremely poisonous Maga.”

Marisa’s face hardened.

“That won’t happen.”

“Then it doesn’t matter. If you don’t accept the additional conditions, there will be no negotiations.”

Marisa frowned.

Something felt off.

But it was a situation where some concessions had to be made.

Above all, what Marquis Langham said could not possibly happen.

“Okay, I accept the additional terms.”

“Will the expedition team from the poisonous Maga side be led by the princess herself?”

“Yes, I plan to do that.”

Marisa answered with a plump face.

Since she was going to lead the expedition herself, there was no way that the Marquis of Langham would have happened.

“I see. We will be able to see the power of the renowned Somandok. I look forward to it.”

“Well then, that’s it.”

After saying hello, Marisa disappeared.

The Marquis of Langham stroked the cold metal of his glasses.

I looked at the chessboard in front of me.

He said as he knocked down the white horse.

“Marisa.”

This time a black horse.

“Jupien.”

The second daughter of the Dark Maga.

Finally, he took down another black horse.

“Christian.”

These three were the ones who would fall victim to his plan this time.

* ? ?* ? ?*

“Here, it’s the black sword.”

Marquis Langham, who saw Chris’s black sword, remained silent.

Chris chuckled.

“Did you pass the first test?”

“…Okay. Let me tell you about the second test.”

The Marquis of Langham told the story of the relics of the neutral zone.

“Are you telling me to look for relics in the neutral zone?”

“Yes, if you make enough contributions to finding the relics, I will grant you the title of Confucius.”

Chris looked puzzled.

A surprisingly easy mission.

I expected you to be given a life-threatening mission?

Of course, the neutral zone is a dangerous place.

A place where all kinds of monsters appear.

Chris’s current achievements could easily cost him his life.

Still, it was a much more moderate mission than expected.

‘No. This is clearly a dangerous mission.’

An instinctive sense of crisis sounded the alarm.

There was something unseen about this mission.

But Christian bowed his head without showing any sign of remorse.

“Yes, I understand. Can I do it alone?”

“No, it’s impossible alone. You will be assigned to the unit led by Princess Jupien.”

A story about following the princess’s instructions.

It wasn’t a very pleasant fact, but there was nothing I could do about it.

You can only have a mine under you after you become a prince.

“Originally, this mission was supposed to be taken on by the old man. However, since I am entrusting it to you instead, you must do your best and achieve success.”

“I will do as you say.”

“We have to leave soon, so get ready.”

Chris came out and frowned.

‘A relic of the neutral zone. What happened?’

Thanks to the Dark Gossip, Chris was aware of most of the major events that occurred in the Magic Empire.

But nothing particularly came to mind about this incident.

‘Wasn’t this an incident worthy of a dark gossip?’

At that moment.

A question suddenly occurred to me.

– Originally, this mission was supposed to be undertaken by the elderly.

‘Come to think of it, what happened to the old people in the existing history?’

Originally, the one who was supposed to be the prince this time was not Chris, but Royin.

If it weren’t for Chris, I would have easily become a Confucius.

‘But I’ve never heard of the old man. Why?’

Despite being a son of a noble family, Chris has never heard of the old man.

There is one reason for this.

That means he’s dead.

And quickly, without gaining any fame.

Why did he die?

Chris’s head spun quickly, guessing the truth.

‘… Will I die on this mission?’
