Become Tyrant On My Own Way
Chapter 122 – INVASION REGION RODRIGUEZ (bag. 5)
Ibelal looked at Albert with an insulting smile. The crown prince of the Vlonhard Empire was truly humiliating to Albert.
“Ah, I remember. I see, so it seems. You are the youngest son of Duke Lugwein whom we cannot touch due to the laws of the minors of the empire. If I had known you would be our barrier stone after adulthood, I should have told the thugs to kill you outright instead of you selling to colossium.”
“Oh yes, you know not, your brother named Roxane? No one knew but I managed to secretly smuggle him out of the sacred temple custody for me to taste first before being killed. It's a pity that such a beautiful woman should just die. At least, I should taste the taste first.”
“That's why Duke Lugwein should comply with our request to collaborate on the first order project. Why should he oppose us so inevitably we should get rid of him. If only the duke obediently wagged his tail in front of us, this would never have happened to him and his family.”
“But by the way, how can you survive in that monster-filled colossium? this is surprising, because there is no way an ordinary child can survive from that place alive.”
Albert just stared at Ibelal in silence. Albert seemed not at all interested in responding to the words of Ibelal who mentioned his family name with contempt. However, his expression was enough to hint at how much Albert hated the figure.
Ibelal did not know how Albert could have survived from a place full of monsters because luckily at the age of 7 years Helios, just a few moments he began to master his strength and was able to control some familiar, and the, one of the familiar Helios was flown south of the empire and accidentally met Albert who was in terrible condition there.
Helios was sympathetic to Albert, who, despite being a child, had a dead fish-like expression. Helios was sympathetic and seemed to find a small glimmer of himself in Albert at the time.
Then when Helios knew that Albert would be sacrificed in colossium, Helios insisted on having the right to have guard knights like his other brothers and sisters to the King.
The king could not do much to reject Helios' request because rejecting it would amount to violating the constitution of the Kingdom of Meglovia. It was Helios's sudden request that was usually quiet and submissive that the King felt pity and wanted to give him the best knight's bodyguard.
But later, Helios refused expressly to grant the King a knight on the grounds that he wanted a knight bodyguard of his age. The king in his heart never hated Helios even after the descent of the tyrant's prophecy where it was foretold that he would kill the King in the future.
Only, the King had wondered why Helios to reject the kindness of his heart. Could it be that his son thought that he as his father would have the heart to plot murder to his own son through the hands of the knight he was about to give to him?
The King did not hate Helios for it, but it was undeniable that the king felt heartache.
The King finally only agreed to his son's wish for the peace of the son's heart. But the King never even knew to this day that Helios wanted a knight back then solely to save Albert, not for himself.
Be Helios express her intentions about the knight candidate she wants and it is something that really shakes the palace. Helios wanted to take the knight of a slave from one of the imperial dogs.
There was chaos in the palace where many political strongholds who then advised the King to give a firm punishment to Helios about his desire to make one of the imperial dogs that was hated by the King the people of the Kingdom of Meglovia were his knights.
Of course the King refused firmly against all such suggestions. It was all about the King's affection for the son. But beyond all that, they could not do much since Helios had never violated any code of conduct nor the royal constitution. All of that was only related to the hateful sentiment towards the Vlonhard nation, Helios' desire was not at all against the law.
The king was very sympathetic towards his son. Helios had to be confined alone in the rundown palace without being able to go anywhere except at certain times that were allowed, and even then, there had to be someone watching her. It is the same with the treatment of prisoners. In fact, the King knew very well that his son had never done anything wrong that made him deserve to be treated that way.
As a prince, his son should be held in high esteem, instead of being treated with such contempt. But the king could not do much. Although with the authority of the King, he was also unable to touch the holy temple that gave bad treatment to his son under the pretext of a prophecy.
As a last resort for the sake of his affection for his son, at least Helios must have peers who can strengthen his heart, support him at a time when Helios needs peer support. That was finally the King's consideration to approve the proposal Helios.
After obtaining the King's approval, Helios immediately went with Owin, the late butler of Helios's court before the long-dead Albert, to the colossium where Albert will be grounded for the victory of the other fighters in the colossium.
Just at the moment Albert was about to obtain his death, he was eventually saved thanks to Helios who bought him as a slave at a great price until he spent all the wealth of the Helios palace household he had collected for two years he was confined there.
It was there for the first time that the skinny Albert met a young man with the color of his hair and eyes as dark as the abyss.
Even at their first meeting, Albert said, “Are you the angel of death who will take my life?”
Then with a smile, Helios replied, “Albert, the angel's appearance is holier and more beautiful than many street artists describe.”
A fateful encounter between two people who saved each other ensues. Thanks to Albert's existence, Helios was spared from the darkness of his heart. Thanks to Helios, Albert again found a reason to live.
There is little that is unknown to both the King and all the nobles of the palace at that time, namely about the identity of Albert. They only know that Albert is one of the imperial dogs, but absolutely no one knows that in fact Albert has quite a high status because he is the son of a former duke, who is a former duke, although now his family has fallen for being accused of heresy.
Even after seeing the color of Albert's hair and eyes which was the hallmark of the imperial nobility, thanks to the ingenuity of Helios, finally Albert was only rumored as the illegitimate son of one of the honorable low class nobles who about his existence was hated by the main family of the nobleman, he was colonized by being sold as a slave in colossium.
Luckily, no one was too interested in Albert after that so no one dug deeper into his true identity. It was all possible only because of Helios's obedient attitude during that time that distanced himself and even seemed completely uninterested in the seizure of the throne.
Even the education that Helios wanted was small at that time only focused on medical, herbal medicine, history, business, sword, and martial. He had absolutely no interest in learning about the political science and war strategy needed to become a successor to the king. That is why many are letting in without getting involved with Helios.
In addition to the problem that no profit was obtained by eliminating his life that did not have a major influence on the competition for the throne, the holy temple was also at that time watching him so that instead of profits, the, it would even pose a latent danger to their respective strongholds.
However, that does not mean Helios' life is safe while in the palace. In terms of his weak position, many nobles including the lowly golongannya wanted to humiliate Helios by beating him all out or sometimes sending him assassins. The King could not watch over Helios forever so there was always a loophole to do so outside the King's watch.
The law of nobility that hurts the royal family even if there is, is not as heavy as if the commoners who do it must end up on the guillotine. In addition, the procedure is very complicated where it must go through the proof of trial many times involving various prosecutors and lawyers.
That is why in overcoming the treatment, Helios prefers to finish it by hand.
Helios only needed to destroy every noble who humbled himself with his punch, ambushing back in case he was ambushed. That was the principle of Helios during his life in that rundown palace, at least until Albert came.
Since there was Albert on his side, it was then easier to live Helios since Helios did not need to intervene directly again in doing so.
Helios was a very valuable person to Albert, and vice versa, Albert's value can not be replaced by anyone for Helios.
That is why, instead of being angry for himself for Ibelal's humiliation, Albert further condemned the crown prince of the trash for attempting to harm Helios by ravaging his beloved homeland.
