Become Tyrant On My Own Way
Chapter 87 – THE CROWN PRINCE OF TIUS
After dealing with the cholera epidemic, I along with Mr. Erick fou Hygone and Miss Anna Rosse Bridgette visited the capital to meet with Sister Tius. It was for the sake of discussing the establishment of a pharmacy store that had been delayed because of the sentiment of the holy temple. But since the outbreak of cholera in the northern city, the government's view of pharmacy has now changed by 180 degrees and immediately deemed it urgent to be established.
For the sake of its establishment, I am now with Mr. Erick and Miss Anna taking care of all its administrative documents through the approval of the Crown Prince, aka my brother, Tius star Meglovia.
“So more or less so the plan, Your Highness.”
“Hmm, I think the plan is good enough. Nothing needs to be corrected anymore. Immediately implemented as it was.”
Mr. Erick explained all his plans and it appears that Kak Tius did not have much problem with the details so that the first pharmaceutical store construction plan went smoothly.
“Well, as the representative of the kingdom who oversaw its construction, what if you were the one who went down alone, Helios?”
“Eh, me? But if I were to intervene directly, wouldn't people's views be directly negative about the establishment of the store? Brother knows for himself right about the views of people against me?”
Brother Tius only responded to my complaints with his fox-like smile as usual.
He then patted me on the shoulder and said, “You don't know yet, Helios, how did you do in the north become a hot topic of conversation in the current capital? Not only did you save the western city that was almost toppled by the monster invasion, you also managed to save the northern city from the threat of a deadly plague, now your famorm has increased among the people. Even the holy temple alone can't do much about it.”
More or less that's what Kak Tius said to me who momentarily gave me the spirit to step. Should I try it? After all if it proves to be a problem later on, I can still back off and leave everything to Ilene. So maybe it's true what Brother Tius said, it's okay for me to try this time.
I was with Mr. Erick and Miss Anna to first visit the magic academy as our base. And just at the entrance, the first ordeal came soon.
“Heh, what are uneducated people doing here?”
“Only because of successfully creating one or two alchemy products, has he been arrogant and considered himself a part of us? How sickening!”
“Basic parasitic science!”
I just regained my senses of the fact that it was only the alchemy department in this magic academy that treated me well because the head of their department was none other than a friend of my father-in-law. As for the rest as you can see, outside of the alchemy department, they all treated me coldly.
Do they think that I can't hear the whispers from behind them? Or did they deliberately say that so that I could listen to him.
Apparently, there were still some of them, no, almost most of the students, scientists, and even the magic academy scholars who considered my worth a problem I never received my formal education.
That is also the teacher who is willing to become my teacher is only from among the common people. The teachers of the nobility would instantly feel stained by his name just for being the teacher of the disciples of a person who was labeled bad by a holy temple like me. But yeah, there's a benefit to that, too. Because thanks to him, I was able to meet with Master Zizi who is really an expert in herbal medicine.
But come to think of it, even though the system is different, it's different, isn't one of my teaching team that Guru Kanazawa Junoichi can be said to be one of the nobles because he is the younger brother of one of the kings in the kingdom of the Asium Continent? It was just that the royal system of the Asium Continent was slightly different from the one in the Ernoa Continent so there was no caste division system that distinguished between the commoners and the nobility clearly there.
Thank goodness I left Yasmin in the northern city to help Rasiel while there after the cholera outbreak. I guess that I won't be able to handle the two men's combi at once who went berserk because I was insulted.
I alone was now more and more overwhelmed to handle Albert's rapidly increasing power after being promoted to a level 5 sword master who wanted to go berserk with his sword slashing at the people who had previously spoken of me badly in the back.
Thankfully, I was still able to prevent Albert from taking his sword out of its sheath. What a troublesome man. But of course I am grateful that now both Albert and Yasmin have become stronger compared to before.
There was not much we prepared in this magic academy since we only gave the building plan of the shop to Kak Tius after explaining in detail about the layout of the rooms we wanted. The problem of providing basic materials and laboratory equipment that we need has also been handed over to the government.
All we prepared was a few copies of the prescriptions we deemed necessary as well as a division of labor and a store employee recruitment plan. It has been determined that Miss Anna will be acting as the store leader with me in charge of her shop. Thus the project of establishing the first pharmacy store in the kingdom was realized.
After returning from the royal magic academy, I returned to visit Sister Tius at his residence. It seems, Sister Tius wants to talk about something beyond the topic of building a pharmacy store to me.
“Helios, what do you think if you replace the role of Leon into the dark side of the kingdom? We certainly should not waste Leon's efforts all this time that he did for the future of the kingdom.”
“What does that Brother mean?”
“We must not let those corrupt nobles roam about just like that. At first, I intended for Leon to embrace them all so that we could know who they are to eliminate without one remaining at the right time. Leon is no more.”
My mind was instantly blank when Brother Tius said that. From the beginning, was it true that it was Sister Tius whom I knew? Because, Sister Tius who I know is a wise and gentle figure. However, what was with the expression and tone of speech that he showed me this time?
Tius' cold and cruel sister then said to me, “Hey, Helios, now you have been recognized by the royal citizens since some success that you have achieved. If it was now, it wouldn't be a problem if you became a hero of justice who would eradicate the corrupt nobles from the shadows since I've been acting as a gentle crown prince to his people, he said, there's no way you can play that role.”
With his slow but intimidating steps, Brother Tius approached towards me.
“Well, Helios, since Leon is gone, will you take his place to support me in order to create a clean kingdom?”
My mind is completely empty. There was only a sense of anger piled up.
