    Chapter 94

    Episode 94

    A voice full of resentment towards the swordsman.

    Nogaju looked at Christian with somewhat softened eyes this time.

    “Christian, you did well. You did a great job. I will reward you for this separately.”

    “…Could you possibly give me what I want as a reward?”

    “What do you want? Tell me.”

    Chris took a deep breath.

    ‘You have to do well here.’

    Evan’s life hangs in the balance right now.

    “Please hold off on beheading the son of the inspector.”

    “what?”

    Noh Ga-ju’s eyes became cold.

    “Why? Are you trying to give me unnecessary recognition?”

    A voice mixed with disappointment.

    Because it is forbidden for a mine to have unnecessary sympathy for the enemy.

    But Chris shook his head.

    “Not at all. Why would you show any sympathy to those abominable bastards of the Union? I simply think that beheading them would be too merciful of an act.”

    “Hmm? Then? What do you think?”

    “Give him to me as a trophy.”

    “!!”

    Chris raised the corners of his mouth.

    To make anyone who looks at it look evil.

    “If I were to subjugate the son of the Sword Master and treat him like my slave, wouldn’t that be the ultimate revenge against those detestable members of the Alliance?”

    * ? ?* ? ?*

    Nogaju accepted Christian’s request.

    It even made me laugh out loud.

    – Hahaha!! Yeah, you’re right. Just cutting the neck is too bland. But.

    Nogaju said secretly.

    – Is it really possible? If he’s the son of the sword master, then he won’t be easy.

    Chris answered bluntly.

    – It won’t be fun if you are too docile. Please watch with a happy heart. You will see the son of the inspector kneeling before me.

    – Yeah, I’ll look forward to it. But.

    Nogaju spoke with an eerie look in his eyes that seemed to pierce his heart.

    – If you fail, you will personally cut off the head of the son of the inspector. Do you understand?

    – … I will keep that in mind.

    Chris recalled his conversation with Nogaju with a gloomy look in his eyes.

    ‘Ugh! What kind of training is this! Why do I have to go through all this trouble! This damn warrior who is useless in life!’

    My anger towards Evan was rising.

    Chris let out a deep sigh.

    ‘There’s nothing I can do. Since it’s come to this, I have no choice but to make that warrior my servant.’

    It wasn’t like I told the Norse that I was going to make them slaves.

    What Chris wants this time is for the warrior to become his ally and help him with his plans.

    ‘The question is how to win that bastard Evan’s heart.’

    conversation?

    There was no way it would work.

    No matter what I say, he won’t accept it.

    ‘It’s fortunate that the sword doesn’t fly.’

    Extreme difficulty.

    While I was thinking about a method, a servant came running with an anxious look on his face.

    “Oh, Your Majesty! This is serious! The shadow of a famous swordsman…!!”

    “…What happened? Did your condition worsen?”

    “That’s not it. Thanks to the intensive treatment as instructed by Confucius, his condition has improved a lot.”

    “however?”

    Chris looked puzzled.

    It’s gotten better, so what’s the problem?

    “Is he running wild in prison? If possible, just leave him alone.”

    however.

    “Oh, don’t make a fuss.”

    “What’s the problem?”

    “That, that… guy’s attitude is strange. So… he’s on his knees.”

    “……??”

    The attendant had a puzzled look on his face and could not explain the situation well.

    “Ha, I think you should come and see for yourself.”

    Chris went to the prison with a sad face.

    and.

    I got to see it.

    ‘crazy.’

    A sight that makes me want to curse.

    “…You’re here.”

    Warrior Evan was kneeling.

    No one forced me to do it.

    self.

    As if taking an extreme example.

    To be exact, it is like the appearance of a servant serving his master.

    Like a submissive slave.

    He bowed his head.

    “My master.”

    * ? ?* ? ?*

    The son of the swordsman knelt before Christian!

    This news made Dark Maga boil over.

    “Ha, Prince Christian is truly amazing. How did you subdue him?”

    “They say that when he fell, he left a blood imprint on him. Indeed, that’s amazing. You said that you only recently learned the Hematoma technique.”

    “But didn’t you say it was a mark of inferior blood? Wouldn’t it include a rune that subjugates those with reason?”

    “I don’t know. They must have modified the recipe in some strange way. How many times has Prince Christian done something like that? It must be true, since he definitely has a soul imprint engraved on him.”

    The men admired Christian again.

    But Christian couldn’t listen to the compliments with ease.

    Because I know the ‘truth’.

    ‘This crazy bastard’s son of a warrior.’

    Chris swallowed a curse and looked at Evan, who was lying face down next to him.

    Evan asks back with pure eyes.

    “What is it, master?”

    “…no.”

    “Please give me your order, whatever it may be.”

    “…….”

    Chris made an embarrassed face.

    A look of discomfort at having to enslave a former colleague and would-be warrior?

    no.

    ‘… You’re acting.’

    Yes, that’s right.

    The ‘Inferior Blood Seal’ that Chris had engraved did not contain the ‘Loyalty’ and ‘Obedience’ runes.

    This is because, in the first place, the principle is to forcibly control someone who has lost their will after dying, so there is no need for such an advanced and complicated technique.

    But the guy was following Chris’ orders even though he had full reason.

    It was an act.

    ‘It must be an act to survive. He must have calculated that if he becomes my slave, he won’t be executed right away.’

    No, it wasn’t just like that.

    Chris didn’t miss the cool murderous look that occasionally passed through Evan’s eyes.

    ‘Maybe he’s trying to kill me when he gets the chance.’

    Chris decided to check it out.

    As it happened, I accidentally dropped the knife I was using to cut the steak at Evan’s feet.

    Clang!

    “Pick it up.”

    “!!”

    A fleeting moment.

    Evan looked at the knife.

    The knife blade gleams eerily in the sunlight.

    A sharp, discarded tool that is more than capable of cutting someone’s leash.

    Evan’s skills were beyond words.

    In the blink of an eye, that knife would be at Chris’s throat.

    ‘indeed?’

    Evan slowly knelt down.

    After a moment of hesitation that no one noticed, he moved his hand.

    “…here it is.”

    Chris swallowed a sigh.

    The fingers that just wiggled.

    It was a perfect match for Evan’s old habit of taking action when he was considering whether to launch a surprise attack on his opponent.

    It was clear that Evan was now watching for an opportunity to cut Chris’ neck.

    ‘I’m going crazy. I can’t even reveal this.’

    Chris felt a tingle in the back of his neck.

    If you reveal it, Evan dies.

    I have to pretend not to know, but the problem is that Evan is no pushover.

    As you can see from the previous fight, Evan is also the owner of a natural sense.

    Even Chris, if he let his guard down, his neck could fall off.

    ‘But I can’t really tell you that I’m on your side.’

    Even if you keep saying things like that, they will only be suspicious and will not believe or accept it.

    ‘I don’t know if Evan has awakened his mind. He probably hasn’t yet.’

    It was one of the blessings Evan would later receive from the Constellation.

    If only the mind’s eye was awakened, it would be possible to see through the other person’s true feelings, so it would be easy to see through Chris’s true feelings, but it was difficult to expect that now.

    ‘Not even the heart.’

    Chris looked into Evan’s eyes.

    His eyes were dark and sunken, unlike when he was a warrior. Like a dead corpse.

    Evan must be feeling the same way right now.

    A thought suddenly occurred to Chris.

    ‘Maybe that bastard Evan is planning to kill me and die with me. There’s no hope for me to live anyway.’

    In the past, when Evan was drunk, something he had said in passing came to mind.

    – Those were really hard times for me. There were many times when I tried to take my own life.

    Chris frowned.

    It was certain!

    ‘This fu*king bastard.’

    Chris made his decision.

    What to do with Evan.

    ‘You have to come to your senses first.’

    Unfortunately, there was only one way to bring him to his senses.

    A drastic prescription was needed.

    “What’s with that look in your eyes now?”

    “yes?”

    Crack!!

    Evan’s cheek turned.

    “Even though you have become a slave, are you still unable to let go of the pride that remains in your soul?”

    “Oh, no. Sorry.”

    Evan fell to his knees in panic.

    Chris said with as much arrogance as he could muster.

    “You did something wrong, so you must be punished. Merlin.”

    “Yes, Confucius.”

    “Take this guy to prison and starve him. So he never thinks of showing his insolence again.”

    Merlin tilted his head.

    Although he seemed to think that it was an uncharacteristic action, he didn’t express any particular questions and just led Evan away.

    * ? ?* ? ?*

    A few days later.

    Chris went to the prison.

    Evan was hanging from a chain.

    He looked in poor condition, having just survived a life-threatening injury, starving and hanging in chains.

    ‘…Who did the beating? I didn’t ask you to do it. But your eyes…are still the same.’

    Black.

    Empty pupils looked at Chris.

    “Are you okay?”

    “…it’s okay.”

    An answer that came a little late.

    “Thank you so much for teaching me about my mistakes.”

    A murderous spirit faintly mixed in the voice.

    no.

    It wasn’t anger towards Chris.

    Anger towards those who put him in this situation.

    And despair towards oneself.

    It was clear that Evan was still thinking about killing Chris and following him.

    Chris sighed and said.

    “Are you angry?”

    “Yes? No.”

    “No?”

    Chris looked quietly into Evan’s eyes.

    As if seeing through my innermost thoughts.

    “Lies will not be tolerated. Be honest.”

    “…….”

    “Aren’t you angry? No, I’ll ask you again.”

    Chris changed the question.

    “Aren’t you angry at those who put you in this situation?”

    For a moment, a faint light flashed in Evan’s eyes.

    A creepy murder.

    It was a small light that passed by in a flash, but it was clear.

    “…What do you mean?”

    “Are you asking because you don’t know?”

    “…….”

    “You say you surrendered to me, but the anger in your heart is still there. Or else.”

    Chris made a face that seemed to be a mocking one.

    “Have you never surrendered in the first place?”

    “!!”

    Evan took a deep breath.

    He met Chris’ gaze that was staring at him blankly and his face hardened.

    “…Since when did you know?”

    “Well, from the beginning?”

    “…If you noticed, why did you let him live?”

    Evan was busy gritting his teeth.

    “Were you secretly despising me while watching my ridiculous appearance?”

    Chris shrugged.

    “No, it’s not for such a low reason.”

    “then?”

    “Because I didn’t want you to die.”

    “!!”

    Evan made a face of incomprehension.

    “What the hell are you talking about.”

    “Really. So, um.”

    Chris pondered his words.

    ‘The best we can do here is win Evan’s heart, but that would be impossible.’

    Trying to show sincerity half-heartedly will only have the opposite effect.

    ‘Ugh. Even if Evan had awakened his mind, it wouldn’t be hard to make him believe my sincerity. There’s nothing I can do.’

    So that Evan can understand.

    And then, he had to make them do what he said.

    There is only one way.

    Something that provokes Evan’s anger.

    “A useful slave like you isn’t easy to find.”
