How to Live as a Tyrant’s Spoiled Brat Chapter 30

How to live as a tyrant’s spoiled brat, episode 30

(30)

Valencian believed that in his previous life, an unknown third force or Jaeril was responsible for killing Aquinas.

But that idea was quickly overturned when circumstantial evidence emerged suggesting that the Marquis knew about or attempted to use the illegitimate child.

“I let my guard down.”

As he muttered, the silver-haired prince closed the door, and the giant raccoon thrust its maw inside.

thud!

He was shoved awkwardly, the wooden door was ripped off its hinges, and the Marquis came running.

Valencian reflexively froze and prepared for the Marquis’ attack.

puck!

But the Marquis kicked the fox’s torso with his shoe and drove it out of the room, then grabbed the fox by the scruff of the neck and dragged it into the room.

“I sense a strange aura. My dear. Be on your guard. He is not of this world.”

The Marchioness held a thin, three-span cane with a stern expression.

The gentle magic spread like ripples on a lake.

“Your Highness! Do you know anything?”

In response to Tentia’s question, he pieced together the fragments of knowledge that came to his mind sporadically.

‘Jaerilis was a tyrant, but… …he hated the old things beyond the border. He never compromised with the encroachers.’

He lowered his voice and spoke quickly.

“These are not the men sent by His Majesty the Emperor. And it looks like they are not the men brought by His Excellency the Marquis.”

“Other than that, what kind of guys are they and what are their weaknesses?”

“Where have I ever seen anything like this? I have never been outside the capital in my life.”

The curled up fox got up again and charged.

The Marquis frowned and placed his hand on the hilt of his sword.

wickedness-!

The sword was swung like a bird flying.

Tentia looked astonished for a moment, and Valencianus worried that the sword might be pointed at him.

Thump, and then thud.

The fox fell to the ground helplessly.

A finger-thick piece of carapace was cut off like pudding, and green fluid was sprayed into the hallway.

Be aware, be aware, be aware.

Immediately after that, terrible noises began to be heard from all over the place.

Inside the roof, under the floor, and even down the hallway.

“Sigh!”

A fox jumped out from under the bed with a terrible scream.

thud!

Valencian instinctively stamped on the fox’s back and swung his sword down, piercing its skull.

The fangs, filled with white venom, reached right up to the Marchioness’ ankles.

“… …Thank you.”

The Marchioness frowned and thanked him.

The Marquis said as he cut down the second raccoon coming in from the entrance.

“As you said, the security is not good.”

“I told you so!”

“If my wife or son gets hurt, I will hold them responsible.”

Valencian felt his heart sink.

This city was the property of the emperor, and all authority and responsibility lay with the emperor.

‘To Jaylilith?’

He seriously considered whether he should stick his sword in the Marquis’ back.

‘The dead don’t speak. It’s okay. I can do it. I’d rather see that kid rolling around in the battlefield again… …!’

His left hand slid towards the dagger in his bosom.

“majesty.”

Then Tentia grabbed his left wrist.

“You don’t have to do that. I am here, His Majesty the Marquis is here, and Your Majesty is here too.”

The knight with a sad look in his eyes drew his sword.

puck!

Tentia crushed one of the raccoons that was aiming for Valencian’s heel with her plate-plated boots, then swung her sword and cut in two another that was just poking its head out the window.

Valencian got up with a small sigh.

Unlike before his return, he was now here, not in the red-light district.

“Aquinas. Get on the bed and take care of the baby. Don’t let him go.”

“Okay.”

The young man who had become a father spoke resolutely.

Valencianus thought that it was not a bad look, so he drew his sword and ran to the Marquis’ side.

“Be careful!”

“huh?”

Cheeeeek!

The fox raised its head to human eye level and sprayed white liquid from its mouth.

The Marquis reflexively raised his left arm to block, and his tough uniform melted away, emitting smoke.

“honey!”

The Marchioness screamed and swung her cane.

Ji-ing!

White sparks flew and rays shot out, burning a hole in the fox’s face.

The Marquis said with a frown.

“It would have been much better if you had told me what to watch out for.”

“sorry.”

“But didn’t you say earlier that you’ve never seen anything like this in your life? How did you know that guy would spit out venom?”

“yes?”

He smiled brightly, cursing inwardly.

“I don’t know anything! I lived every day drinking alcohol, so how could I know something like that?”

He dug into the ceiling, where dust and gravel began to fall.

The sword trembled and green fluid dripped down.

– 2 hours and 30 minutes until the right of succession is revoked.

* * *

As the fight continued, he rolled his eyes and looked around.

Tentia was guarding the bed and the Marchioness, the Marquis was blocking the open door, and the Marchioness was blocking anyone coming through the window or ceiling.

‘Apart from the quality, it won’t be easy to service this many. However, I don’t think we can break through the last piece by grinding this many. Is there a reason to waste such a valuable service horse?’

He glanced at the dead raccoon’s body.

It was about 4 m long, and the width and length of each joint were about 40 cm.

Each of the 40cm long and 40cm wide joints was covered in silver powder, creating some kind of magic.

“Silver powder?”

Since silver was the material most closely related to mana, it was often used in building magic circuits.

Valencian watched the ritual quietly.

I think I’ve seen it quite a lot before the regression.

It seemed like he had drawn it himself.

He suddenly felt truly sorry for the subtitle of Sereraji.

With just one strike of her true power, a Chain Lightning or Chain Lightning, these damn monsters would be wiped out in one blow.

“If you engrave it in silver on a stone tablet, infuse it with magic power, and throw or drop it into the middle of the enemy lines… … .”

Suddenly, memories from the past came to mind.

“Your Majesty! We must leave immediately. Sir Tentia. Take care of Ae-rang and Archduke Aquinas.”

“yes?”

“There’s no time to explain, hurry!”

“for a moment!”

The Marquis blocked his path with a loud roar.

The fox’s bodily fluid dripped from the longsword he held.

“I would like to point the finger at you, Archduke Valencian, as the cause of these monstrous children’s incursion. Wasn’t it you who called us into this room and opened the door?”

He felt his breath catch in his throat.

It was a reasonable suspicion.

“Where are they going, what are they thinking, what the hell are these monsters!”

The Marquis’ voice grew louder.

“If you don’t answer honestly, I’ll take it as a given.”

Valencian looked at the corpses of the foxes strewn everywhere.

Using the life of a sacrifice to cast a spell was a very traditional method.

Whoosh, flash, rumble.

Outside the window, wind and rain blew and thunder and lightning struck.

He gritted his teeth and walked into the room with measured movements, thinking that it might already be too late.

“Lord Tentia. Could you please hold the door for a moment?”

Tentia ran to the door, and the Marquis and his wife looked at him with suspicious eyes.

Be aware, be aware, be aware.

Just as he heard the sound of a fox crawling on the ceiling again, he raised his sword again and stabbed and twisted the ceiling.

“Keeek!”

Green liquid flowed out with a scream.

Knock, knock.

The moment the liquid hit the floor, Valencian had a gut feeling.

“Let me tell you why I told you to leave.”

The spell is complete.

Flash!

Yellow lightning streaked down from the clouds like tree branches.

bang!

Windows and brick walls shattered, and a blast of hot air blew through, shattering all the furniture and fixtures in the room.

The baby would have died from the pressure if Aquinas had not wrapped him in his body.

Although he avoided a direct hit, the Marquis was hit by the remnants near the wall and fell down like a piece of wood with his mouth wide open.

Only Valencianus, who had previously stuck his sword into the ground to send an electric current through it, and Tentia, who had steel spikes embedded in the soles of his shoes, were left shaking.

Swaaaahh …

Rain poured down from the collapsed walls and ceiling.

In an instant, even the foxes ran away and the room became quiet.

“Ah… … I almost died.”

Valencian turned his shoulder and said.

“Your Highness, what is this, what is this… … .”

Tentia asked with an expression that was beyond bewilderment and absurd.

He answered with a shrug.

“Lightning induction spell. It is used to mark the coordinates of enemy command posts on the battlefield and drop chain lightning, or to permanently install it near buildings that are frequently struck by lightning and use it as a lightning rod. The mana required for activation is… … It is used to utilize the deaths of these raccoon monsters by applying sacrificial offering spells.”

“That’s what I asked… … .”

“First, take care of the baby and Aquinas. They’ll probably fall again soon.”

Tentia moved with an expression that said she had a lot to say.

Valencian pushed the frozen marchioness out of the room, then smiled brightly as he held out his hand to the marquis.

“Do you feel like leaving the room now as I say?”

It was a laugh that made me want to hit him.

“

The Marquis stood up unsteadily, his voice trailing off.

“Okay. Where do you plan on going when you leave here? I’ll tell you in advance, if you talk about the palace, I’ll cut off your head.”

Valencian shrugged.

“Why would I go to the palace? I’ll go to Wyvernpit.”

“ah.”

“They are sturdy enough that lightning strikes are no problem, and most monsters are too overwhelmed by the wyverns’ momentum to even come near them.”

The wyvern was a monster that could make even well-trained war horses abandon their masters and run away with just one roar.

At least there won’t be any giant raccoons.

“You can go back as soon as the rain stops. Take your new son and new grandson with you.”

“I told you I would register my birth date at the church here. Judging by the drizzle, it doesn’t look like it will last long. Can you tie me up and take me to the church?”

In the empire, there were secular laws created by the lords, church laws related to the scriptures of the church, secular laws used by the peasants, and ordinance laws enacted by the cities and other places.

Birth and death were governed by church law, which regarded the rising of the sun as the beginning of the day.

A triumphant smile appeared again on Marquis Marthe’s face.

“I will leave as soon as the sun rises. I have no intention of waiting for you to bring my grandson to church. I will go back to my domain to register the birth.”

“ah.”

“Your expression is full of complaints. But what can you do? Just endure it.”

“That’s not it.”

Valencian laughed heartily again.

Yellow eyes glowed brightly in the darkness.

“what?”

“Wyvernpit has a bishop-level monk stationed there to heal the knights and watch over and restrain the wizards.”

The church is just a space, what’s important is the priest.

To be precise, the space where the priest proclaims is the church.

“Birth, marriage, and death can all be handled there.”

Valencianus spoke like a friendly administrator.

The Marquis’ face was distorted as much as it could be.

He tightened his grip on the sword for a moment, then withdrew it.

His wife, new son, and new grandson were all with Tentia.

* * *

Since only one of the five in the group could control mana, the movement was fast.

Even on a rainy night, there were guards at Wyvernpit, and although they were perplexed at the sight of the high-ranking officials who looked like wet rats, they soon allowed them to enter according to the regulations.

We unconsciously headed to the conference room we had used yesterday.

He dried himself with the towel the soldiers had brought from the duty room, put some firewood in the fireplace, and collapsed on the sofa.

There was a grandfather clock there, and the hands pointed to 0:30 am.

“Congratulations, Count Aquinas.”

I greeted Aquinas with the new title he had received.

Generally, the emperor’s younger brothers or sons were treated as archducks, the relatives of a duke or marquis as counts, and the relatives of a count as barons.

“So now I’m not legally a member of the royal family.”

Aquinas muttered as if possessed.

“Thank you for watching over me, Your Highness the Grand Duke Valencian.”

I received that greeting with a strange feeling.

“Not at all. Until this morning, don’t even think about going anywhere and just stay close to me.”

My eyes met the Marquis’s for a moment.

He frowned, but did not pick up his sword.

Lord Tentia breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheeeeek… … .

Just then the fire burning in the fireplace went out.

“Oh, wait, please.”

I sighed and picked up my sword.

Giant raccoons fell from the fireplace chimney.

They weren’t as big as before, but they were still over 2 meters tall.

Suddenly, they came out in a rush, and gathered into one point to form a human figure.

He looked like a knight in black plate armor.

The Marquis and Sir Tentia gritted their teeth and made the sign of the cross at the insulting sight.

There were three bug knights made up of a group of foxes, one holding a battle hammer, one holding a sword, and one holding a saber.

The man holding the sword slowly lifted his helmet visor.

I expected to see a horrible insect face inside, but surprisingly, the face was that of a very ordinary man.

“uh?”

“Hand over the child!”

But what he said was exactly as I expected.

So I did what I originally planned to do.

“Whew!”

I spit in that little bug’s face.
