    Chapter 81

    Episode 81

    “Yes, there will be a commotion. Perhaps, it will be an opportunity for you at the top.”

    Ruina opened her eyes wide.

    Now, Chris has leaked to her the secrets he found out through the Dark Maga’s internal government!

    ‘Actually, it’s knowledge I learned before returning.’

    A major disaster will soon occur at Gold Cross.

    A disaster that would ultimately shake the continent.

    Chris planned to intervene in the disaster.

    ‘To do that, we need someone to help us within Gold Cross. It would be good to have Ruina prepare it in advance.’

    “If you do it well, your superiors will also see great benefits.”

    Ruina looked very moved.

    “Ohhoho. As expected, I believed in you, Prince. This Ruina! I think becoming your servant was the best decision I’ve made in my life!”

    “Didn’t you just ask for compensation?”

    “Oh my? Who would have said such a thing to the great Confucius? I must have been crazy. I’ll have to punish that bad mouth again. Tsk, tsk.”

    Snap, snap.

    Chris swallowed a laugh as he watched Ruina looking at him with a puzzled expression again.

    ‘If something actually happens and you get involved, you won’t be able to say something like that.’

    Ruina is going to have a hard time.

    It wasn’t just hardship, it was excruciatingly hard.

    But since it would have been a huge benefit in the end, Chris pretended not to know.

    “I’ll contact you later to tell you how you should behave at Gold Cross. Then go.”

    “Ohhoho, be careful! Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty!”

    So I came back to the mansion.

    An unexpected person was waiting for him.

    “Are you ready to go?”

    pale.

    A handsome man who is beautiful but somehow creepy.

    Butler Simon gave an example with a grin.

    “I will take you to the underground garden, Your Majesty.”

    * ? ?* ? ?*

    To avoid a show of power between the two sides, it was customary to keep the number of attendants to a minimum at the Confucian conferences.

    After leaving Alos’ training to Melin, we set off quietly.

    Suddenly, the carriage started running.

    The underground garden was quite a distance away, so it was going to be a trip that would take some time.

    ‘The location of the Destruction Magi is west of the Southern Magic Kingdom.’

    If you look at the map of the Southern Magic Kingdom, it looks like this.

    Dark Maga in the East.

    In the center is a poisonous macaque.

    Maga of destruction in the west.

    It was like a tricolor, but when you looked closely inside, you could see a huge mountain range running across the right side of the destruction tower.

    So, the Destruction Maga was establishing its own territory on the west side of the mountain range, while the Poison Maga and Dark Maga were fighting over territory in the center and east.

    ‘First, we need to use the gate leading to the realm of the Destruction Maga. How long will it take?’

    We had to take a carriage to get to the gate.

    ‘By the way, it’s uncomfortable.’

    There were only Simon and Chris in the carriage.

    Princess Jupienne was also in the same group, but she refused to ride in the carriage.

    -Why don’t you ride?

    – I need to work out.

    – …okay.

    Jupienne was following the carriage, using light air.

    For hours without stopping.

    Just like what he showed in the last competition, Jupien seemed to be an unexpectedly hard worker.

    Thanks to that, Chris was alone with Simon.

    ‘He hasn’t done anything particularly bad to me since we first met, but it still makes me uncomfortable. Sitting face to face with a face that resembles the Blood Lord.’

    But Simon kept smiling and talking to Chris, as if he had the opposite idea.

    “I had wanted to meet Confucius anyway, so I am glad that I have this opportunity.”

    “Why do you want to invite me?”

    “Well, it’s because Confucius is interesting?”

    Chris looked dumbfounded.

    It’s not necessarily an interesting thing in a good way.

    Although he is quiet now, Simon also had a very notorious past.

    ‘How many relatives did you say you killed when you left Blood Sword Maga?’

    The vampire clan is a race that thirsts for blood, so they have a cruel nature by nature.

    Simon was a particularly dangerous figure among them.

    ‘But he’s not someone you should be afraid of.’

    Whatever the reason, Simon had a crush on him.

    If I could get some information about the Demon King of Blood on this occasion, that would be great.

    ‘The question is how to do it.’

    While I was thinking about it, Simon said something unexpected.

    “I see you have something to ask me. Tell me. I’ll tell you anything as long as it’s not about Barron’s secrets.”

    An unexpected suggestion.

    Chris didn’t refuse.

    “Can you tell me about Countess Idrine, the Archduchess of Blood Sword Maga?”

    The current name of the Demon King of Blood.

    Heart pounding.

    Chris’s heart raced.

    ‘I actually don’t know anything about the Demon King’s whereabouts.’

    Perhaps I could get some unexpected clues that would help me when confronting the Blood King.

    Simon seemed surprised by Chris’s question.

    “Hmm? Were you interested in our Idrine?”

    “…Because he is one of the five new stars of the 12 prestigious families of the Magical Kingdom.”

    Among the numerous sons and daughters of the 12 prestigious families of the Magic Kingdom, the five who are said to be the most outstanding are called the Five New Stars.

    These are people who have transcended their age and risen to the ranks of true powerhouses, beyond the level of simply promising rookies.

    “I ask because my goal is to beat her someday.”

    I was sincere.

    Because his journey will not end until he kills the Demon King of Blood.

    “Yes. Our Idrine is famous. What exactly are you curious about?”

    “Everything. Anything.”

    “Hmm.”

    Simon looked thoughtful for a moment as he tried to remember.

    For a moment, a complicated feeling passed through his expression.

    “She is a cute and pretty child.”

    “…yes?”

    Chris made a dumb sound.

    Now, what?

    “Unlike me, he is also a good kid. He is a lovely younger sibling who is hard to imagine being born in the same boat as a fool like me.”

    “…….”

    Chris made an embarrassed face.

    It was the most ridiculous barking he had ever heard in his life.

    “Please don’t joke around.”

    “Hmm? That’s true. She has a bad reputation as the ‘Bloody Princess’, but that’s just a nickname given to her because of the atmosphere of the Four Kings Castle where people kill each other. In fact, it’s not like that at all. She still contacts me from time to time to ask me how I’m doing.”

    “…You contact me often?”

    “Yes, I received a letter a while ago.”

    The more you listen to it, the more amazing the story becomes.

    Simon smiled faintly.

    “Now that I think about it, it seems like you and Confucius are a good match. Although there is an age difference because of the different races, you are actually around the same age. I think Confucius would be a good match for Idrinne. If you’re interested, would you like to help me arrange a match?”

    “Coolook!”

    Chris stopped in his tracks and cleared his throat.

    ‘crazy.’

    Marrying the Demon King of Blood. Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps.

    “Don’t talk nonsense.”

    “Hmm, seriously.”

    “Please don’t do that.”

    Chris spoke firmly, and Simon clicked his tongue and closed his mouth in regret.

    ‘That’s unexpected, by the way.’

    The Demon King of Blood is kind.

    It was such absurd nonsense that it was hard to believe, but it wasn’t something I just let slip.

    ‘It’s probably one of two things. Either his personality changed after making a deal with the devil, or he’s so hypocritical that he completely hides his terrible nature.’

    Either way, there was a possibility.

    Because quite a few of the demon contractors who caused the bloodshed were originally the owners of shining souls.

    ‘That doesn’t mean there’s any room for sympathy, though.’

    Whatever the circumstances, the terrible sins committed by the demon contractors were not acceptable.

    However, Chris felt it was necessary to investigate the background of the Bloodthirsty Demon King.

    Because it could have been an unexpected weakness that shook the Demon King of Blood.

    Second, some information to note.

    Simon and the Blood King… no, the Blood Sword Maga’s Grand Duchess Idrine were not on bad terms up until this point.

    ‘It’s strange. If the relationship between the two wasn’t bad, why did Butler Simon meet such a death?’

    Chris knew how Simon died.

    ‘Butler Simon was killed by the Blood Lord.’

    It wasn’t just death.

    The Blood King personally cuts off Simon’s limbs one by one, causing him terrible pain and killing him.

    It was such a brutal execution that it was a famous story that spread widely even within the Union.

    ‘There’s something else I don’t know.’

    Chris frowned.

    * ? ?* ? ?*

    At that time, the western end of the Southern Magic Kingdom.

    A huge castle perched on a steep cliff.

    The Duke of Bethune was the destroyer of Maga.

    Several buildings were located at the bottom of the cliff, under the shadow of a castle that towered high into the sky like a giant’s body.

    It was the residence of low-level minions who could not stay in the castle.

    Among them, there is one building that looks particularly shabby.

    A handsome man with a strong impression walked into an old and worn building that looked like it could collapse at any moment if a strong wind blew.

    “mother.”

    “…Kashmir.”

    The handsome man’s true identity was Kashmir, the son of the Maga of Destruction.

    But how can a Confucius-like person have a mother who lives in such a shabby residence?

    There was a reason.

    He was an illegitimate child.

    And he was born of humble origins.

    His father, a direct descendant of the Maga of Destruction, had his mother, a servant, hugged him one night for a prank, and was immediately kicked out.

    Afterwards, Kashmir entered the Destruction Maga as a common mine, and successfully obtained the qualification of a Confucius by demonstrating brilliant talent.

    But that was it.

    A prince in name only, with no future under the control of his direct line.

    He was even unable to obtain medicine to treat his sick mother.

    ‘If only I could get some medicine from a famous doctor, I could cure my mother.’

    Kashmir has put on a grim face.

    With the power of the Destruction Maga, you can easily obtain the medicine of the famous Yiseon family. However, this story did not apply to him.

    However, it was not possible to abandon the front and back and leave for the union.

    There was no guarantee that he would ever find the hidden ancestral home of the Yi Sun clan, who had lain undetected for hundreds of years, and the moment he left the Destruction Maga, an assassin sent by his own bloodline would murder his mother.

    “I brought you some medicine here.”

    It was just a medicine that relieved the symptoms.

    “It’s okay. I don’t care… Knock knock. Knock knock.”

    Kashmir’s face grew heavy at the sight of blood mixed with his mother’s cough.

    ‘If this continues, Mother won’t be able to hold out for long. We have to somehow obtain medicine from the famous medical institution.’

    At that moment, a sharp blast from outside seeped in.

    Kashmir’s face hardened.

    When he came out, a man with an arrogant look was waiting for him.

    It was the Grand Duke of Destruction, Shuwar.

    “older brother.”

    “Brother? Who is your brother?”

    Crack!

    Shuwar slapped Kashmir on the cheek.

    Not even once.

    Crash! Crash!

    Kashmir’s lips burst.

    I had no intention of avoiding it or defending myself.

    Because that was the situation in Kashmir.

    A Confucius in name only, who must endure all the beatings and trampling.
