I Became the Genius Bastard of a Noble Dark Clan – 70

Chapter 70

Episode 70

Chris turned his gaze and looked surprised.

The other mines around him were all the same.

Like a gentle breeze.

She was a woman with a clear and beautiful impression.

Despite having the dark hair and bloodshot eyes characteristic of the Dark Maga, the image is refreshing rather than dark.

It was Princess Yurian.

‘It has an elf-like vibe.’

Chris thought to himself, slightly surprised.

I had thought about it before, even when I saw it from a distance, but it had a very unique atmosphere.

It was similar to the elves, a different race from the forest.

“First, meet the princess.”

“Yeah, nice to meet you. I’m sorry I’m introducing you now since you’re my new little brother. Oh, is it okay for me to be informal too?”

Yurian asked with wide eyes.

Chris shook his head.

“No. Prince Maysak was my enemy from the beginning, so that’s why he did that, but Princess First is different. If you consider me as your younger sister, then you can speak freely.”

If you don’t consider them your sibling, keep your distance.

Princess Yurian smiled bashfully, as if she knew the truth behind those words.

“Then I’ll talk to you more comfortably. I’m glad you have a new sibling. You can talk to me more comfortably when you see me from now on. Next time, let’s have a cup of tea. I’ll prepare a sweet cake that the child will like.”

child.

It was not a provocation.

The softly curved glass eyes looked like they were looking at a younger sibling.

“I’m not a child.”

“If you’re a minor, you’re a child. Otherwise, should I prepare some ginger ale?”

“…I don’t like ginger ale.”

We had a brief, light conversation, and Yurian smiled brightly.

“Then, I’ll be seeing you often, so please take care of me.”

And so, Yulian disappeared.

Chris crossed his arms for a moment and looked at her back.

‘Hmm.’

Princess Yurian was the most popular among the princes and princesses.

Not only does she have a beautiful appearance and outstanding skills, she also has a gentle and considerate personality.

The princess that everyone in the Dark Maga loves.

It was a meeting worthy of the rumors, but Christian just frowned quietly.

– Beware of Princess Yurian.

A warning from Aunt Marian.

And Chris could see why Marian had given him such caution.

A feeling that was vaguely coming from Yurian.

If Chris hadn’t gone through the Age of Destruction.

And it’s a feeling I would never have noticed if it weren’t for the warrior’s party.

That’s right, it was the devil’s afterglow.

In other words, Princess Yurian was a ‘devil’s contractor.’

* ? ?* ? ?*

Devil Contractor.

It refers to a person who has pledged his soul to the devil.

‘No way, Princess Yurian was the one who made a contract with the devil.’

After the banquet, Chris was lost in thought.

‘I didn’t expect that at all.’

In fact, Chris was no stranger to demon contractors.

This is because the Demon King of Blood was already a devil’s contract holder.

In the age of destruction, all kinds of people will make pacts with the devil and run wild in the world.

But not now.

Unless there were really special circumstances, it was rare for someone to make a pact with the devil.

‘Others might not know?’

Probably so.

The Dark Maga are a family that forbids dealings with the devil.

If it was revealed that he had made a contract, he would have been excommunicated from the Dark Maga long ago.

‘Aunt Mary seemed to have only noticed something fishy. So what happened?’

Although it was a brief meeting, I recognized him at a glance.

The strongest contender to become the next candidate was not the second prince, Ashed, but the first princess, Yurian.

Yurian was a monster with hidden claws.

‘It looks like he’s a 4-star player, but he’s probably hiding his true abilities.’

The problem was that there was no way to gauge how much skill was hidden.

That was the scary thing about the devil’s contractors.

Instead of sacrificing your soul and being destined for an eternity of terrible suffering, you gain powerful powers that defy common sense.

‘Of course, the power gained in this way usually has clear limits. It’s a burden for me at my current level.’

The easiest way is to reveal that Yurian is a demon contractor.

Then Yurian will have his core closed and be kicked out of the family.

‘But that’s a bad idea.’

First of all, it was difficult to find evidence that Yurian was a demon contractor.

Demon contractors hide themselves thoroughly. Since their concealment is due to the power of the demon, no one can detect them no matter how high their level is.

If it weren’t for the experience I gained during the time of Christ’s destruction, I wouldn’t have noticed.

‘First, we need to find out why the First Princess made a contract with the devil.’

The most important thing when trying to figure out who made a devil’s contract is ‘why’ they made the contract.

If you made a contract with the devil out of simple greed, there wouldn’t be much to worry about.

It’s the end, after receiving some strength. In this case, the limits were also clear.

But if there is a special reason.

To be exact, if the contractor has a ‘story’ that could be used by the devil.

There are cases where one receives a special ‘blessing’ from the devil.

Often, those who receive such blessings are given unimaginable powers.

The most representative example was the Demon King of Bloodshed.

She was only a princess of the Blood Sword Maga, but thanks to a special blessing she received from making a contract with the devil, she was able to become a Demon Lord with destructive powers.

‘The ‘Eating Ghost’ blessing that the Blood Shadow Lord received from the devil was also terrifying.’

So, I had to find out what kind of contract Yurian had made with the devil.

“number of animals?”

[Ohhoho… Shall I have some virgin blood juice?]

“…No, that’s not it. I have a favor to ask.”

Marie looked puzzled.

“Are there any ghosts you are friendly with at your hometown?”

The mansions of the ancient families of the Magic Empire are often inhabited by ghosts.

[Rather than being friendly… there are a few kids who kneel before me.]

“…knee?”

[He was talking about this and that about the master… I showed him a little affection, and he said he would take me as his master.]

Chris was silent for a moment.

‘… So you’ve become the Banshee Queen?’

A monster that has subdued surrounding monsters and established its own power is called a ‘Lord’.

In the case of Banshee, it’s the Banshee Queen.

Marie is said to have conquered the ghost species in this mansion area.

‘Just how powerful is Marie?’

It was not estimated at all.

A question that suddenly arises.

‘What’s Marie’s story?’

The deeper the resentment a ghost has, the more powerful it becomes.

It was clear that Marie had a terrible story that no one could even dare to imagine.

“Anyway, please investigate Princess Yurian. What kind of past does she have?”

[Ohhoho… I understand. I will follow your orders, my lord.]

We will need to complete our investigation into the princess before we can decide on our future response.

As Marie disappeared, Chris closed his eyes for a moment.

‘There is something more urgent than that. Now that I have become a Confucius, I must establish my position in earnest.’

It wasn’t an easy task.

They said they had done some image updating at the banquet hall earlier, but it was nothing.

It was necessary to build a ‘force’ that could overwhelm the scholars.

It’s almost impossible for a collateral branch.

‘The small talk won’t work.’

No matter how hard you try to gather power, you will never be able to catch up with your direct descendants.

Instead, Chris thought of another way.

‘You just have to show an overwhelming appearance.’

Unrivaled.

Showing an outstanding appearance that cannot be compared to other scholars.

So we had to convince people that Chris was going to be the next patriarch.

Then people will start to gather around him.

It was a simple, yet essential method.

‘We need a spectacular stage that will capture everyone’s attention at once.’

So it had to be a huge shock to everyone.

‘Luckily I have someone to help me.’

It was a moment when I was thinking like that.

Just then a call came from outside.

“Prince Christian, the Marchioness of Précia is calling you.”

Chris raised the corners of his mouth.

The Marchioness of Dark Maga is one.

Red Snow Precia.

The mother of Mysak, who was insulted by Chris during the banquet, and the hostess in charge of the internal affairs of the Dark Maga.

and,

This would be a great help to him in building his reputation in the future.

* ? ?* ? ?*

“Meet the Marchioness.”

“Yes, it’s been a while. How is your father, Count Kazar?”

“Yes, I am doing well.”

“It’s late, but congratulations on becoming a Confucius. I was worried that you would wander around as a child, but you’ve grown up wonderfully.”

Fresia was a beautiful woman, worthy of her nickname, Red Snow Flower. A gorgeous flower that had not lost its luster at all even in her middle age.

But it wasn’t a completely gorgeous flower.

Because the ‘red’ in ‘Jeokseolhwa’ symbolizes blood and destruction.

‘The realm is a whopping 5 stars.’

Unlike the soft greeting, there was a subtle aura emanating from it that put pressure on Chris.

My skin started to tingle, but I didn’t show it.

“Thank you for your kind words.”

“I’m not exaggerating. I heard about what happened at the banquet. It was amazing. If only our Isaac had grown up like you, I wouldn’t have any regrets.”

Chris chuckled.

It was an unexpected compliment, but it wasn’t meant as a compliment at all.

“However, it’s hard to talk about the fight between us nicely. Although we’re cousins, we’re blood brothers. I hope you and Isaac get along well as your younger brother.”

Chris almost burst out laughing.

As a ‘younger brother’, he said.

Now, Fresia is trying to persuade Chris to stand under Isaac and assist him.

No, it’s not persuasion.

It was a threat.

Fresia’s eyes were shining brightly as she looked at Chris.

A red eye of destruction, different from the bloodshot eyes of the Dark Maga.

The symbol of the Magi, the destroyer who seeks to destroy and annihilate all living things, glared sharply at him.

If you don’t follow, it means that you will receive unbearable punishment.

but.

Chris raised the corners of his mouth.

“Yes, I will do as you say. I will live with Prince Maysak as brothers.”

“Really?”

“But only if that bastard Isaac becomes my younger brother.”

“…what?”

“Isn’t it natural for the less capable one of the two to be the younger brother? Wouldn’t I be more suited to the role of the older brother than that idiot who goes to his mom and complains because we had a brief fight?”

“!!”

Frescia’s face turned fierce.

A fierce spirit boiled over.

The surrounding furniture shook at the momentum that Precia gave off.

An aura of extreme destruction.

If Fresia were to move her hand, Chris would disappear without being able to resist. It was clear that she wouldn’t even be able to leave a proper corpse behind.

Still.

‘I’m not afraid.’

Chris looked straight at Frescia.

It is visible.

What’s flashing in those red eyes isn’t the momentum of destruction that seeks to annihilate everything.

It was just greed.
