Become Tyrant On My Own Way
Chapter 41 – SI STUPID ALBERT
I was immediately amazed. I never thought that Yasmin would be that good in recovery. In this case, isn't his prowess already on par with a saint or saintess? The sacred temple would definitely cry blood if it knew that it had thrown away the expensive diamonds so easily to me.
No, no, no. That's not. If Yasmin does have this great ability…
“Why didn't you tell me earlier?! Isn't it with this great ability, you have enough to lift Nunu's banshee curse without me having to bother all this time?!”
Unknowingly, I shouted out loudly what I really just wanted to be quiet in that heart.
Then by pestering him, Yasmin replied, “Soalah Master did not say and I also forgot to tell him anyway. Tehee.” His words tried to look cute while sticking his tongue to the side.
But instead of being tempted, I feel more like pinning Yasmin's head.
But what has become porridge is unlikely to become rice again. However, Nunu's condition had now fully recovered, plus he had also finally obtained an artifact weapon capable of covering up his shortcomings, I don't think it's too bad a result that we only learned about Yasmin's incredible recovery skills later on.
However, when I saw that saint-equivalent Yasmin's ability, I suddenly became reminded of something more important.
Wouldn't if so, then, perhaps Albert's wound on the circuit where for eleven years has not been treated about the prohibition of the sacred temple to treat wounds that come from the punishment of evil can now be healed?
Albert did not commit a crime at that time. Incidentally, he was only in a family branded as traitors by the Vlonhard Empire so Albert also got his sap with the destruction of the mana core in his mana circuit.
If it was Yasmin who was also under my auspices who healed Albert, then there would be no chance for the holy temple to know about it.
“Yasmin...” Unknowingly, my mouth opened by itself wanting to ask for help under the equal ability of that saint of Yasmin.
However, when I glanced beside me and found Leon's whereabouts there, I don't think now is the right time to say it. Coupled with the existence of many warriors around who had no idea what kind of story would be leaked to the audience if I did.
Wrong a little and Yasmin is discovered by the sacred temple has been treating the circuit where Albert was injured about the holy punishment, so this time Yasmin and Albert will definitely face the guillotine and then lose his life.
I'll tell Yasmin when there aren't more eyes watching.

That day was a quiet atmosphere. At that time, I was alone with Leon in the room. No, exactly three if I have to count Yasmin as my personal maid. Or should I count him as fourteen if I should also include the eleventh number of Leon's bodyguards who always watch him from behind the shadows?
Clearly, the atmosphere was peaceful back then. Leon is doing his job as city leader while well, as for me, I was instrumental in supporting him as a deputy. Albert, who usually often quarrels in silence with Leon, is not here to investigate the anomaly of the recent monster attacks.
However, just as I thought of his name, Albert had suddenly come. But what is this? Why did his eyes look so full of anger? And why is it that instead of coming at me, he seems more like he's approaching Leon now?
“Praaaak.”
Then, even the most extraordinary thing, I saw it right in front of my eyes.
Albert, who is usually a coward when talking about noble status, hit Leon's desk without the hesitancy that let no noble, his status is even higher that of a prince like me.
“You, right? The cause of the monster wave attack?” Said Albert glaring sharply at Leon.
I did not understand what he meant about the premise so he dared to make accusations that could not be taken lightly to a prince. A little wrong with this, Leon could have reason to file an execution order against Albert.
“Try to calm down first. Albert. Tell me slowly about what really happened.”
However, Albert was beyond belief, not at all replying to my words. His eyes only continued to stare straight full of anger in front of Leon.
“Oh ho's. This is what you learned from the mutt you bought from the empire, Big Brother Trash. His name is rubbish too. What I really expect from the upbringing of a trash, of course the result is also garbage. He had no respect in the face of the kingdom. This is also why I hate any imperial dog.”
“I beg you not to involve His Highness Prince Helios with all this. Me and some soldiers have been investigating the scene of the monster attack. There is apparently a monster summoning ritual altar containing your fingerprints. And there are also reports from several eyewitnesses who stated that they had witnessed you wandering around the scene a few days before the event.”
With eyes that are no less creepy anyway, Leon then looked back at Albert.
“So you want to accuse me that I was the cause of the incident? So, on what grounds, for what motive, and for what purpose did I do all that based on the results of your useless investigation, Kampung Dog?”
“It was of course to make Prince Helios in be...”
“Albert!”
“Puaaakh!”
Before Albert could speak his words, I landed my fist right on Albert's cheek to silence him immediately.
Damn that Leon! He must have deliberately done it to target Albert to say such a thing to make him make a mistake with insult to the royal family and then immediately drag Albert to the guillotine.
Whether it is a true accusation or not, there are certain modes of submission that are allowed and not allowed in accusing the royal family of committing crimes. Maybe the way Albert said his first sentence was still safe, but it was clear from his insistence that the second sentence he would say would go into the realm of the guillotine.
I can guess what Albert would say, “His Highness Prince Leon summoned monsters that made a mess to kill rival brothers in the struggle for the throne in the chaos made by the monsters.”
You son of a bitch, Leon! He's really sneaky. I really can't believe that such a person is my own real sister. Just look at that sneaky smile on the corner of her lips. Whatever happens, I will protect all my innocent men from his clutches.
“Your Highness Prince.” Looked at the face with Albert's teary eyes after I hit him. Rather than being physically ill, I'm sure he's more mentally injured now because I, as his most trusted person, just beat him without hestitation.
But how can I not do it by seeing his folly that has not changed since then. If this continues, one day instead of being my sword, he will be the center of my weakness which is easily exploited because of his stupidity and easily manipulated nature.
I had to really discipline him even more intensely.
“Hah, Albert. Regarding your words, try to explain them to me in detail. Let me finish it later. Now, you apologize first to Leon for your disrespectful attitude before the royal family.”
Albert, though full of hestitation, finally fulfilled my request and lowered his head asking for forgiveness in front of Leon. Then I asked for a moment to leave the room with Albert in front of my foolish sister, including leaving Yasmin behind.
Seen a triumphant look of the face by Leon seemed to be trying to provoke Albert's anger. Fortunately this time, Albert was no longer hooked.
I had to really listen to Albert's complete story on the subject. The accusation he had just charged Leon was not a playful accusation.
That's a necromancy allegation. One of the highest crimes for the sacred temple. The punishment is not playful anyway, it must be burned by holy fire for purification against the evil soul in general. In other words, execution.
However, I know my stupid sister well. As evil as he is and as ambitious as he is to the throne, I doubt that he will have the heart to kill his own brother just to achieve that goal.
