Become Tyrant On My Own Way
Chapter 86 – EVIL PLAN EMPIRE
“Tuk tuk tak tak.”
A head rolled right in front of Charlot Jackiel Albaramaz. However, as it seemed that he was still half dizzy after being blown away by Albert's domineering aura, his gaze was still blurred and had yet to realize what was completely before him.
In the blur, he reached for the head, which he thought was a stone he could throw to protect himself from the knight who had suddenly gone mad before him.
But suddenly Charlot woke up. It was the head of his companion, Medina Valaqous Yospherina, the talented magician of the empire.
“Aaaaaaakh! Medina, who has done this to youuuuuuuu?!”
“Duh, Albert, you haven't finished your work yet huh? Quickly finish or you want me to take over finish it?”
Yasmin went down casually with a relaxed flat expression after mengunsummon her snow-white wings. Hearing Yasmin say so, Albert just looked at Yasmin with a disheveled look and ignored her.
Albert's gaze was fixed on Charlot.
“Hiiiii.”
In the confusion, Charlot finally used his ace. He pulled a few people who happened to be around through the extension of his rope-like aura, uniting them in a lined formation, becoming a meat shield for him.
If only those people were only made up of imperial soldiers, then without a second thought, Albert would have already finished them off with a single swipe of his sword since after becoming a level 5 sword master, there should be no one else who would be able to block Albert from his path.
Unfortunately, some of the meat shields were mixed with some soldiers from the Meglovia Kingdom. However, Albert concentrated his aura. He immediately marked out which ones were enemies and which were not, then attacked with an extension of his aura only to the enemy by throwing his compatriots to safety.
Unfortunately too late. Once the meat shield was wiped out, Charlot had far escaped using his horse.
“Honey now, you lost your prey yes, Albert. So it seems like I won?” Yasmin, who usually had a flat expression, smiled at Albert.
There was a rivalry in silence between the two of them about who was the favorite son of Prince Helios. Day by day, Yasmin was showing her fangs to Albert.
One that Albert did not know at the time, Charlot had something to do with the death of his family on charges of imperial treason thirteen years ago.
***
The fight seems to be over from the other side. I immediately greeted Albert and Yasmin who had just arrived from the fight. Especially Albert, I immediately hugged him and congratulated him on his official promotion to become a level 5 sword master.
“Where did Master know that?”
[Glows.]
I immediately swallowed my saliva. I forgot about the whereabouts of my familiars and about how I slipped in the middle of his battle and gave Albert sacred powers to heal which circuit he broke was a secret.
Thankfully, it was Albert. He was the most innocent person who was the easiest to fool.
“Of course I know that, Albert. Since we've been connected like a family of our own.”
Albert immediately blushed in embarrassment listening to my flattery and as I expected, he immediately forgot the important point where he should have been suspicious.
But after all, nothing can make me happier than this. This is probably what the ancient imperial proverbs say that in every difficulty there will always be sweet fruit hidden in it if we are good at looking for it.
It has been two years that I have tried to find the right opportunity to make Albert feel extreme danger without actually making him hurt for the sake of activating the holy power for the sake of healing his mana circuit.
I still wonder why Albert's instinct of danger is so hard to ignite that I used to think there was no other way, then I will sacrifice myself by putting myself in danger for Albert's instincts to ignite.
I also did not think with Albert's way of thinking. Why if it was related to his own safety, he never took it seriously. However, if a trivial thing were to happen to me, then he would act excessively.
Well, but it's not bad to also have such a person by my side. And now the most crucial problem for Albert, which is about which circuit, has also been resolved.
“Oh yes. By the way, how did you guys get here?”
In my meal talk to my two men, it turns out the answer I will get is not out of their mouths. Grandfather Glenn immediately came first to explain the situation.
“This is all thanks to His Highness Crown Prince Tius who was quick to respond after realizing something was wrong in the northern city with the sudden closure of the communication line here at a time when the city was almost half paralyzed by the plague cholera which coincided with the suspicious movements of the Vlonhard Empire. His Highness the Crown Prince then immediately sent a letter of lightning to the fortress of Painfinn City to also warn your subordinates.”
Glenn's grandfather then looked closely at the alternation between Albert and Yasmin. Glenn's grandfather then said, “But by the way, no matter how you think, aren't you guys coming here too soon? Didn't the letter just ship yesterday?”
After saying that, it was now my turn to be noticed by Grandpa Glenn with a piercing look. “In retrospect, His Highness Prince Helios also came in less than a day to this place, right? Is this related to the strange wings I saw on your lady's men?”
“Hahahahaha.”
I just smiled awkwardly at Grandpa Glenn's sudden question. But thankfully that Grandpa Glenn was someone wise until when he observed I was uncomfortable answering the question, he immediately ignored it.
“So Duke Rodriguez, does this cholera outbreak have anything to do with imperial plans?”
However, my question was not answered by him there was a dog barking at the back that immediately messed with the harmony of the atmosphere.
“This is all because of your fault Tyrant Keji who brought witch to the holy land of Meglovia Kingdom this!”
He was a grandfather-grandfather who seemed to be a fanatical follower of the sacred temple. I knew that it was wiser then for me to just ignore it.
“Hahahahaha. It seemed that this place was less convenient for the Prince to chat. Let's go inside, to my room, to chat further.”
Wisely, Grandpa Glenn again melted the almost broken atmosphere with his gentle smile and invited us into his room. I followed him from the side with Albert and Yasmin walking behind me.
After listening to Grandpa Glenn's talk, apparently there is currently talk in the empire about the issue of removal of the current crown prince because it is considered too soft in becoming the future leader of the empire. This was due to the current attitude of the imperial crown prince who opposed the actions of the present emperor in conducting a massive invasion of his neighboring countries.
If so, I think, it is the normal crown prince and the war-crazed emperor that must be sent down.
However, continued Grandpa Glenn that the matter was now the second prince by trying to hold the nobles of the northwestern faction with him, kebelet wanted to obtain the achievements of war, and, hence he was currently trying to tear down the northern defensive fortress of Meglovia Kingdom in a cunning manner.
In other words, the possibility of a cholera outbreak this time did not occur naturally, but rather the vile engineering of the Second Prince of the Empire.
But where did the Second Prince of the Empire obtain the source of cholera bacteria? Shouldn't the disease have disappeared from the continent of Ernoa two hundred years ago?
Oh yes, seven years ago it did not happen again in the Ifrak Continent. There were rumors that I heard as well that there were some odd points there so it was suspected that it also happened unnaturally.
Plague.... Witch plague? Angele Rosse Barthey's? If it was him, then everything was possible. But why would he cooperate with the Second Prince of the Empire? I still suspect that it was their group that killed Leon. If so, I can no longer ignore the community of the witches.
Well, but there is also the possibility that this disease could have occurred naturally under such special circumstances that the almost simultaneous time of the imperial invasion was an absolute coincidence. I should not have acted rashly pending the development of the investigation from Grandpa Glenn and Sister Tius.
