Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
The Mother of All Sins
Is Prince Nicholas intelligent and capable? According to the information Issac gathered, that's how it is. But looking directly at the decision he made, Issac changed his view.
Prince Nicholas was not as capable as he had imagined before. He's just too confident. Assuming all the decisions he took were correct without heeding the advice of his subordinates.
The most obvious example that Issac saw was when prince Nicholas decided to send his 50,000 soldiers to intercept Heinz's 20,000-strong royal army. Okay, he did win the amount. But the most fatal mistake he made was underestimating the importance of information.
While Issac had complete data on the intricacies of the Imperial Army, ranging from their numbers, the weapons and equipment they used, their general fighting abilities, and others, among others, prince Nicholas moved only on the assumption that the royal army was just a group of recruited peasants and had poor quality.
"He's not smart. Nicholas was nothing more than a rash and overconfident man. Were it not for his dedicated subordinates, perhaps he would have long since died."
"Kufeng.... You seem frustrated, right? Strangely, usually others complain because their opponents are smarter or at least equal to them. Just this time I saw someone complaining because his opponent was more stupid than he was."
In front of Anna who was holding her daughter, Issac complained. Anna is now at the Savoy Mansion. He went from the Starfall Region with an artifact containing teleportation magic to accompany Issac.
"Well, it's okay to be stupid. We are all stupid in our own way. As long as there is a desire to continue learning and improving ourselves, we will become better.
"The trouble ones are those who are stupid and at the same time, arrogant. Did you know Anna, that pride is the mother of all sins?"
Anna who was busy swinging her daughter and Issac to sleep more soundly, shook her head. She wondered why her beloved husband thought that way.
"Well, this is a story that no one has ever heard of. Once upon a time, in heaven, the first man was created by God. He was indeed the first human but that does not mean he was the first creature to exist.
"At that time, angels were created. Including the devil. Back then, all these beings focused on worshipping the god who created them. No one wants to deny their Lord's commandments."
Issac laughed and shrugged his shoulders. This is a story from his old world.
"Maybe weird, but let's move on first. At the time when the first man was created, God commanded angels and demons to bow down to this man. The angels immediately bowed. But the Devil spontaneously refused the order."
"Hmmm? What reason?"
"This is the main problem. The devil thinks that he is better than this man. Man is made of earth while he is made of fire.
"Once the devil refuses, God immediately throws himself into hell. Did the devil learn from his mistakes? Of course not. He became envious and spiteful. From that envy and envy, in the end a sin called vengeance was born.
"The story is still very long, but in essence you understand this right, Anna?"
Anna nodded. Essentially Issac wanted to say one thing. Don't cocky. Pride will make the heart hard and the mind chaotic. They will not be able to take advice and input from others.
"Okay let's end this super-heavy talk! Hey Anna, here, you're less caressed, right? Tonight, I'll spoil you!"
Anna's face flushed! Ah... cute. Anna's charm as a shy girl as well as a tough mother really makes her look even more adorable!
Anna puts her sleeping daughter in a baby basket. Slowly, he walked towards the bed and sat down on the edge of the bed. The evening dress she was wearing this time was very seductive. Issac could no longer hold himself back and directly stormed Anna.
Fortunately Issac's room in the former Savoy mansion had been fitted with soundproof magic. Because otherwise, perhaps Anna's cry of ease would have been heard all over the place. It all happened because of the violence of Issac that night.
