How to Live as a Tyrant’s Spoiled Brat Chapter 48

How to live as a tyrant’s spoiled brat Episode 47

(47)

Vastatin rushed at the mutated Ban, drawing out translucent yellow venom and thick green poison.

“half.”

I couldn’t understand why this kind, albeit slightly mischievous, child had changed like that.

I wanted to live a normal life.

No, actually, I wanted to live a special life.

I wanted to live my one and only life to the fullest, burning all my extraordinary talents.

I wanted to attend conferences, write papers, and interact with doctors of magical pharmacy.

That was the normalcy he wanted.

Was it arrogance or wishful thinking?

‘I don’t know.’

Gulp!

Van, who had transformed into a giant headless octopus, was now on the verge of filling the street.

“half!”

I’m sorry I didn’t know.

While you’re raising such a monster.

Gulp!

The long tentacles of the half-moon wrapped around Vastatin and swallowed it up.

“What happens now?”

Jin, who was sitting down, unconsciously asked Valencianus politely.

Valencian took another step back and shrugged his shoulders slightly.

Originally, the more flustered and absurd the situation was, the more one had to remain calm, and if that was not possible, one had to at least pretend to be calm.

I couldn’t let Bastatin’s sacrifice be in vain after being in a state of confusion.

“I don’t know. We’ll just have to wait until the poison kicks in. If we’re lucky, we’ll live. If we’re unlucky, we’ll all die.”

Jin looked at Sereraji in horror.

She glanced at Valencian as if she didn’t like his irresponsible words and replied.

“Wouldn’t we have similar odds of success or failure?”

“Do you know that if you say it indirectly, the content will change?”

Valencianus dragged out the line without even pretending to listen.

When he had retreated more than thirty paces from the mutated class, his yellow eyes flashed sadistically.

“Sister.”

“Yeah. That was a success.”

The movements of the wriggling tentacles had slowed down considerably.

The small tentacles would either droop or become stiff.

Sereraji enchanted lightning magic once again, and Valencianus ran forward as if flying.

“flaw.”

Imperial Swordsmanship Level 1, All-in-One.

A body strengthened by mana was filled with more and more subordinates.

The taut muscles erupted like a volcano, releasing strength in an instant.

Tsukaaaaak-!

The Mana Blade was a longsword with a gentle swaying blade that cut diagonally through the monster’s body.

Blue electricity flowed through it, widening the wound even further.

“Valen, put your sword in! I am a skilled warrior and will make up for your shortcomings.”

Even before the regression, it was a tactic often used to catch giant monsters.

Phew!

As soon as Valencian heard Sererazie’s cries, he thrust his sword into the gaping wound.

In Sereraji, he held the staff tightly in his left hand and the piece of blue drake’s horn in his right hand like a pen, drew a handprint, and recited a spell with his mouth.

“My lightning that follows and follows, right here in this place, a single line… …!”

Jin, who heard that from the side, opened his mouth wide in amazement.

It was a highly advanced technique that even he, the top student in the magic department, could not have guessed.

I was muttering to myself, “That’s talent.”

It felt so stupid to have ever thought that I was special.

“Let this moment be brightly illuminated. Light of the sun!”

Flash!

As she finished her long spell, a spear-like bolt of electricity shot out from her staff.

A single point contained an electric shock several times stronger than the spell that once devastated the first floor of the future casino.

The lightning from Valencian’s sword, made of solid steel, pierced through the tough hide and dug deep into the mutated Ban’s body.

“Kkieeeeeek!”

The giant monster trembled in agony.

A red core was visible through the gaping wound.

Then Valencian gestured towards Jin.

“You finish it. You have the right and the obligation to do so.”

It was a firm voice that could not be denied.

Jin gritted his teeth and ran towards his old friend.

“You guys started this.”

Jin was the only one who had never been pushed out of the top class in the swordsmanship department.

His stabs were no less powerful than Valencian’s.

Valencian blocked the slow tentacles with his forearm, blocking them again and again, keeping Jin’s path clear.

The white-haired grand duke and the ashen bastard crossed paths, and the bastard plunged his sword into the monster’s core.

A loud, clanging sound rang out.

* * *

“Did you guys hear that rumor?”

“What are those rumors?”

The Academy campus was quiet and peaceful after the exams were over.

Students who didn’t leave the bar after the exam, students who were trying to catch up on sleep, and professors who went on picnics under the pretense of outdoor classes could be seen all over the streets of learning.

“You know, there was another eroder that showed up over there a while ago? The one that the Imperial Palace Magic Workshop magician took care of. And that was also caused by the accident of Archduke Valencianus?”

One student said with shining eyes.

“What are you talking about?”

“Did you know the rumor that there are illegitimate children of the royal family hiding in the streets of learning?”

“Where is the kid who doesn’t know that? Those damn guys. They’re all born with it, but they pretend to work hard… …!”

“They say they induced erosion because they needed an excuse to kill them. But they didn’t control it properly, and that’s how that monster came out.”

The student who was listening frowned.

“Isn’t that too far-fetched? No matter what, if you’re related to the Encroachers, there’s no way His Majesty would let you live.”

“Listen. Your Majesty’s intention was to kill all the illegitimate children. They are going to be killed anyway, so if you just leave, no one will say anything.”

Clap, another student clapped his hands.

“That’s true when you hear it again. He’s a real tyrant, and a total idiot. He’s trying to kill all his relatives, and he’s trying to create public opinion that he did a good job.”

“But was erosion that easy?”

“I don’t know. At this point, there’s something about the royal bloodline.”

“Oh, you know you’re getting an award from the Dean tonight? Do you want to go see it?”

“Okay, let’s go. But then you can go to Vastatin’s magic potion shop with me.”

“They’re closed for a while. I heard the owner got hurt?”

“Huh? Really?”

It was a perfect time to go for a walk after dinner, and although it wasn’t an official event, many students gathered under the outdoor podium.

Jin received a medal on his chest on a campus where the sunset was beautiful.

A sharp-looking boy with gray hair, blue eyes, and a navy uniform and gold medals seemed to go well together as if they were meant to be together.

Amidst the tumultuous applause, a knight in shining platinum armor presented Jin with a magnificent scabbard.

“congratulations!”

“Congratulations.”

“As expected of you! The epitome of our court nobility!”

After responding to each and every congratulatory message and politely declining the request for a drink, he headed to his dorm room.

As soon as he opened the door, a dark and musty air greeted him.

“Here it is.”

There was an out-of-place guest there.

The Grand Duke, with white hair, golden eyes, wearing a splendid uniform and an arrogant smile, was waiting for him.

“thank you.”

Jin drank the magic potion Valencian offered without hesitation.

The shaking eyes turned blue again.

“Fortunately, it seems no one was suspicious. There are many rumors that many illegitimate children of the royal family go to school.”

“Because we kept it so well hidden, no one knew about our gathering. The students thought that other students had suddenly died.”

“Yeah. You’re doing a good job.”

Valencian smiled faintly and handed over a leather pouch.

Jin was startled by the heavier weight than expected.

“Are you giving me more than last time?”

“It’s not money that I’m giving you to spend alone. It’s a budget, a budget. There aren’t many kids left, so take good care of them. Don’t let them turn to black magic because of financial difficulties. Even after they graduate, take care of them as if they were close. From a black magician to a devourer is really just a step.”

“Yes, I know.”

A few days later, Valencian appeared before Jin with his head wrapped in bandages and made a proposal.

Jin was hired as a secret administrator in the Imperial Palace, and was to be in charge of the illegitimate children of the royal family in the area around the Learning Street.

Jin, who knew there was no next time, had no choice but to accept it.

“If there are more illegitimate children of the royal family who are corrupt, it is your job to kill them. You understand?”

Valencian’s voice was playful, but his eyes were not smiling.

Jin tried not to be intimidated and put the money in his pocket.

“yes.”

“Okay. Let’s do better in the future.”

As he turned toward the window, Jin asked the question she had been hesitating to ask.

“Can I ask you a question?”

“okay.”

“Aren’t you jealous of us trying to live comfortably with our natural talents? Why did you give me this opportunity?”

Valencian leaned against the windowsill as he was about to go out and chuckled.

“talent?”

The last of the day’s backlight made her bright hair turn red.

It seemed as if it had melted into the sunlight itself.

Her lips, shaded in contrast, moved quickly.

“You guys aren’t even talented. The children of noble families in this country are all mixed race. Even if they are from a wealthy family that can attend the academy, they would have a few drops of mixed race blood in them.”

“ah.”

“I hate to say this, but since you’re illegitimate children, your mother’s lineage is probably very similar to that of a normal human. It’s not like you have any particularly impressive bloodlines compared to the children of the noble families of the palace.”

Erosion was a problem of the yellow blood, not of the mixed blood.

“The sons and daughters of the court nobles who are s*xually inferior to you are either lazy or you are diligent.”

“Then are you really here to kill only the invaders?”

Valencian shook his head.

“The original plan was to bring them all to the palace and manage them. However, the day after our fight, the Platinum Knights made a point. They said that it would be bad for the security if more outsiders came into the palace where assassination attempts occurred three times a day. So the plan was to let them live as they were and hire local collaborators for a few gold coins.”

The collaborator, who was paid a few gold coins, bowed his head deeply.

“Thank you for giving me the opportunity.”

“Yes. His Majesty also liked your attitude. A good superior is bound to want to protect a subordinate who is willing to take responsibility.”

“This is an opportunity given by Valencianus.”

A split gap, a red core, a conceded final blow.

Jin bowed his head even more deeply as he recalled that day.

But the answer I got back was something I never imagined.

“You don’t have to be so thankful. Among the eroders, there are many who go crazy and go crazy when they are hit with a nuke. That’s why I didn’t stab them.”

“yes?!”

Jin raised his head, his blue eyes widening.

“Then did you really think I was giving you the chance to defeat the Encroacher? It was all to save my life.”

Valencian laughed bitterly and jumped down from the windowsill.

Paying off too much debt only burdened my mind.

The relationship that was most enjoyable was one that had a moderate amount of fear and surprise, and a mixture of love and hate.

It had to be seen as an incomprehensible being.

Jin ran to the window, shouting at the six characters, but Valencian was nowhere to be found.

* * *

Sereraji sat in the drawing room with Valencianus, drinking tea while waiting for the evening meeting of Jerilis to end.

“You’re the one who did it, and I’m glad it worked out well. At least the distance didn’t collapse.”

She said it casually.

The Serenade had to have ambition, and the illegitimate children had to hide their ambition.

As for Sereraji, who had something in common with the illegitimate children in that they had to pretend to be ordinary, I quite liked this ending where they survived.

Watching Geum Eun-Yeo’s eyes slowly relax, Valencian asked as if he knew nothing.

“Is it okay if it gets resolved?”

Sereraji replied with a feeling of disgust.

“If just one more person can live, not dwell on old things anymore, and live diligently without worrying about excessive self-consciousness such as bloodline and ordinariness, wouldn’t that be a good solution?”

He threw a malicious joke.

“I’m worried that it might have been right to kill them all.”

Sereraji rolled her eyes.

“Do you know how hard I’ve worked? I had a hard time getting the Platinum Knights to talk about the difficulties of escorting through Sir Tentia. That’s not something I should ask of someone I’ve only met once! Besides… … You agreed, right? Surely you haven’t forgotten already, have you?”

Although he clearly agreed, Valencian had the audacity to put a plate of iron on his face.

He secretly hoped that in the countless what-if moments that would come in the future, Sereraji would be able to abandon him without hesitation.

Even if he died fighting the Encroachers or ran away because he was hated by Jaylilith, Sereraji and Tentia wanted him to remain in the palace and serve Jaylilith.

“I heard that there were kids who didn’t show up that day or kids who were hiding, but it would take too long to find them all and kill them all. I agreed to that because I thought that if there was another accident later, I could wipe them out in one fell swoop through that guy.”

Sereraji narrowed his eyes.

“Then do it then, you damn little brother. Don’t bring up what’s already been done.”

“Oh, okay. Okay, I understand.”

She muttered faintly, listening to the playful tone in her voice.

“Still, thank you.”

“what?”

“Thank you for giving me a chance.”

For giving guys like me that day a chance to fulfill their duties and responsibilities and gain honor.

This time Valencian didn’t say anything strange either.

Sereraji let out a deep sigh as she watched him with a silent and bewildered expression.

‘You said you gave in because you thought you might get attacked if you stabbed yourself with a nuke?’

He was a half-brother who was so mischievous that he made such an expression on his face.

Suddenly, the reception room door opened.

“Let’s go get the money!”

The emperor’s unusually lively voice echoed through the drawing room.
