Become Tyrant On My Own Way

Become Tyrant On My Own Way
Chapter 80 – LETTER ILENE

Curtiz was a former pupil of Duke Alvon Rucanthes who was raised directly by him from his status as a commoner to become a chief administrator thanks to his brilliant talent.


Thanks to Curtiz's brilliant management, the Painfinn City area was still able to survive even after Duke Rucanthes died during the monster invasion from the monster forest before my arrival here.


To think he was a traitor, it felt impossible. Duke Rucanthes is not very good at managing the economy of the region, but I am sure of his talent in seeing who he can trust. That is why he was able to gather the loyal people around him, including Curtiz who had been following him since he was 12 years old.


Then there's Damian. Seeing his brilliant potential even though he was a commoner, but he was passive and willing to serve in a remote city like Painfinn City, whereas if he tried harder he should be able to achieve higher things in the capital, making me initially suspect that he was an imperial spy or something.


However, once I learned that he was apparently a childhood friend of Sister Vierra, the wife of Sister Tius, I went back to reviewing that opinion. There was no reason for her to betray the kingdom since her good friend was the future queen candidate.


There is also Venia, a person who was exiled by the holy temple to explore the science of medicine using herbs that are considered poison by the holy porters, Grodzky and his friends who originally came from the empire, he said, but getting oppression there the problem of his race from dwarves who are equated with demons in the region so that they fled to the city of Painfinn, they are also difficult for me to be a traitor character.


There was absolutely nothing to think about what Leon said in my dream. It was clear that my dream was just a nightmare. Given the remnant of black magic that apparently caused me to fall asleep, it seems true that it was obvious that someone was trying to manipulate me into suspecting my own men. The goal is clear, probably to destabilize my government in this city of Painfinn.


Given the time that almost coincided with the emergence of Angele, the witch plague, one that I can think of, maybe this also has something to do with witch that I do not know her identity.


So is this purely the work of the Demon King? Given her temperament all along, I find it hard to imagine that she would be willing to humble herself using such a despicable trickery strategy just for her victory. That's the point I don't understand. My hunch says that if my assumption is real, then it is not the mastermind Demon King behind it.


Then who will benefit if my government falters in Painfinn City? Is it a holy temple? Is that the Vlonhard Empire? It felt like my scalps as the leader of a city in a remote corner of the kingdom were too small for them to even glance at me.


However, there was also the possibility that my potion business was too developed to bring about a loss significant enough than I had predicted for the Vlonhard Empire that they judged my existence to be a thorn in the flesh that should be removed immediately.


There is also the possibility that the sacred temple does not like the piece that he wants to make a collision for the future hero candidates to be too successful so that before I grow too big that it will be difficult for them again to handle me, they want to prune me as soon as possible.


There was actually still a chance as well if one among the Vlonhard Empire or the sacred temple was involved.


Well, whatever it is, whether it's a sister's feeling, it's, I also cannot afford to ignore that dream my inner problems say that it was really Leon who came through my dreams through the medium of black magic that somehow ended up like that.


That's why I still didn't lower my guard. It would be too late if I had been stabbed in the back by a traitor.


Forgetting about the dark talk, now I am taking a leisurely walk with Talia enjoying various beautiful spots in the city of Painfinn. I did not waste my time just like that during these 2 years of peace in Painfinn City. I have also built many tourism spots here during that time.


But I can't believe, among the many tourism places that I have built, it is precisely the place that is not the main destination as a tourist tool that is most liked by Talia.


It was the cave where I bred the grassfilt plant.


Since it will be complicated to always use a fire that must be maintained temperature at all times when going to enter the cave to see the beautiful scenery of the plant that without killing the plant, the plant, since grassfilt can wither if exposed to temperatures above 5 degrees Celsius, I also developed a lighting system that I call a fluorescent illumination system.


As long as the energy stored in the light box was still there, it would continue to emit light. The heat it produces will be immediately reduced back by a cooling box connected to the chlorofluorocarbon system (CFC) outside. There are also some magic runes I learned from Milanda to immediately decipher this CFC before it breaks into the outside air to suppress its impact on environmental pollution.


Science is really useful. I did not understand why until the holy temple always dictated the citizens to stay away from it.


As a result, thanks to the system, light is able to illuminate the cave without increasing the temperature inside.


“Iya yes, absolutely beautiful.” I said that back while looking at Talia's face with a smile.


“Ah, Mas Lou, what are you doing? I mean the beautiful one is the view, why did Mas Lou even glance at me?”


Talia said again looking blushed embarrassed by my reply.


“But to me, the beauty of Dinda Talia is much more amazing than the beauty of thousands of blue sparkles of this eye-catching grassfilt plant.”


“Duh, Mas cheat.”


Talia's face turned red like a ripe tomato and immediately hugged me tightly to hide her shy expression.


“Duh, cute.” At least, that's all I can think of right now.


Despite the misfortune I had experienced since the tyrant's prophecy, it was Talia who had never once let go of my grasp since we got engaged at the age of 5, who saved me.


I was really grateful to have been able to get her as a fiancee back then and even now we are married. A lot of bad things happened to me, but it was all meaningless because now I can be the happiest person by living by his side forever.


After a walk, I told Albert and Alice to stretch their backs by taking a short break while Talia and I enjoyed our next relaxing time by enjoying a tea made by Yasmin.


For me, there is nothing as good as after facing the tired routine other than enjoying a sweet tea made by Yasmin. There was a cool sensation in it that for some reason every time I drank it, my vitality would feel increased in vit.


If only I didn't have the ability to detect which flow was prominent, I could even have suspected that Yasmin was really a witch as the people of the capital were rumored to be.


Of course it is not witch catastrophe as rumored, but witch love, the witch that always brings peace of love wherever she is.


Today was really fun. It seemed that my life was complete with Talia alone by my side, accompanying me in times of joy and sorrow.


Supposedly, that day would be one beautiful day without any problems. At least, that was until Curtiz came up with a piece of mail in his hand.


It was a letter from Ilene.


At first, of course I was happy to think that the letter from my sister would contain congratulations on living a relaxed life after my wedding days or at best on preparing for her graduation from the royal academy.


But the contents of the letter really pierced instantly that happy day of mine. It was an emergency request from Ilene regarding the gripping situation that was going on in the north of the kingdom.


Of course it was not about the cold situation that was happening due to the atmosphere of war with the Vlonhard Empire, because if it were, it would be, then there will be many experts in the capital there who are able to deal with the matter better. I am not at all used to military affairs like Sister Tius or Leon.


However, it was an even more precarious situation than just a war. It was a cholera outbreak.
