How to live as a tyrant’s spoiled brat, episode 50
(50)
To facilitate the transport of goods, the imperial family dug a canal running east to west through the middle of the Soletarion and brought in river water.
It is 5m deep, 100m wide, and the floor and walls are finished with stones made by magically hardening dirt and sand to prevent the water from becoming cloudy or leaking out.
There were three docks on the north side of the canal and three on the south side, and the one where Valencian stood in the night breeze was the central dock on the north side of the canal, closest to the palace.
Since catching the runaway casino managers was the job of the Black Iron Knights, he focused solely on his half-siblings.
There were several great escapes before the return.
The starting points were different, but the ending had to be the same.
The great nobles will embrace the Archduke’s bloodline and succession rights, spread evil rumors about Jerillis, and Jerillis will raise an army to protect the throne.
And so the civil war began, and in the midst of the chaos, the number of demons and invaders multiplied, the kingdoms and republics of the continent rose up against the empire, and innocent people were killed…
Valencian opened his gold-embroidered vestment and looked out at the starry sky and the cathedral across the canal.
Autumn had arrived before we knew it, and the night breeze was chilly.
He swept his tangled platinum hair back, his golden eyes gleaming, and he scanned the boulevard.
“If you see anything resembling a carriage procession, you must run straight to the palace.”
“Is there any possibility?”
The messengers bowed their heads.
It would be best to wait for the moment when the royal family was leaving the palace, but if you do that, there is a chance that the casino managers will not come out.
Besides, they weren’t stupid, so it was obvious that they would have some sort of escape strategy that would succeed at least once.
But going out of the palace and going out of the capital were completely different things.
The night was deep, and your gates were completely shut.
Valencian’s forty-year-old regret was deep, and he did not let his guard down in the least.
‘If you can run away, run away.’
I’m going to finish everything today.
“Lord Tentia.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“If I were to kill all of my half-siblings today, would you stop me?”
His voice lacked the usual frivolousness and bad temper.
It seemed like I was struggling with a mismatch between what I had to do and what I could do.
The red-haired, dashing knight hesitated for a moment before answering.
“I told you not to make me use my head.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Blood carries rights and obligations. That’s what you said.”
“That’s right.”
“Since the late emperor had so many children, it was expected that there would be a great purge no matter who ascended to the throne.”
When there are many heirs, there is always bloodshed.
It was an eternal truth that transcended time and race.
He was born in that era, and it was his choice whether to face the inevitable guilt or not.
“… …Thank you.”
He suddenly raised his head.
From far away, dozens of wagons were approaching in a line.
“Not a carriage, but a wagon? That’s quite something. Were you planning on disguising it as luggage?”
The city is essentially under a curfew, but workers on ships are allowed to work through the night as they must leave the city as soon as the canal gates open at dawn.
“Your Majesty. A convoy is coming from the west.”
Tentia whispered softly.
“It’s not our job to catch it.”
Valencian turned his head boldly, drew his sword, and ran out into the street.
“Who are you?”
The driver of the first cart that was running towards him panicked and raised the slowdown flag in a hurry and pulled the reins.
The driver of the cart that was following behind also raised the slowdown flag and pulled the reins.
The groom was about to throw out his six-letter words, but Tentia shouted first.
“We have received a report that you are transporting prohibited items. We will conduct a brief inspection, so please cooperate.”
Her plate armor gave away her identity even in the midnight darkness.
“Is there any possibility?”
“But Nari, why at this hour?”
The coachmen, although bewildered, got out of the cart and guided her into the hold.
If you offended the knight, you could be thrown into the canal along with your luggage.
The wagon’s hold was filled with large wooden boxes and barrels of wine.
Tentia frowned as she watched the procession of wagons that had arrived behind her.
“Your Majesty. If we keep checking all of this, we might miss the royal family heading to other places.”
Valencian nodded.
“Kyung-ui is right.”
“Then what do you plan to do?”
He shouted, drawing up mana.
“A flame that embraces you wholeheartedly!”
A red flame burst out of the sky and burned brightly.
“If we burn everything, won’t one come out?”

He spoke as if he were declaring an eternal truth.
“majesty!”
“majesty……!”
“No, that won’t work!”
Tentia was embarrassed and the grooms ran up and bowed their heads before Valencianus.
But Valencian asked without blinking an eye.
“What transport guild do you belong to? I see a few carriages without the guild emblem. Did you join the procession under the cover of darkness?”
Hardritan said.
They said they would entrust the transport to grooms who were not affiliated with the guild and were operating illegally.
A twitch came over the grooms’ eyes.
Valencian laughed heartily and poured flames on the unmarked wagon.
With a crackling, crackling sound, the entire cargo area began to burn.
“shit!”
The groomsmen pulled out daggers from their bosoms.
“How insolent! Who dares to raise your head before me!”
Tentia helped the groomsmen to bow their heads again with her steel-gauntleted fists and iron-plated combat boots.
The burning wagons’ cargo shook and shook.
Tentia shouted to the messengers she had borrowed from the Chief of Police.
“good!”
“!”
Five messengers raced down the road in the middle of the night.
“The royal family is escaping! The guards are heading to the central dock!”
While screaming loudly.
“What is this… … .”
The guild grooms who suddenly stopped in the middle of the road in the middle of the night were the only ones who had dumbfounded expressions on their faces.
* * *
One by one, the royal family members rolled out of the flames.
Although covered in smoke and soot, it was not difficult to make out their identities.
Colorful hair, sparkling eyes, tall stature, and lithe, long arms and legs.
These were people who inherited the blood of the imperial family, the pinnacle of bloodlines.
“Valencian!”
“Clarence.”
The large royal man gritted his teeth and drew his sword.
Her cheeks were stained with soot, and her chest was shabby, without a single jewel or gold ornament.
Valencian rushed forward, his shoulders adorned with gold and silver.
“The grand dukes of the Red Moon Palace, along with the big shots of the red-light district, are trying to sell the imperial secrets to foreign countries… … .”
“I just wanted to live!”
Kaang, Kaang, Kaang!
Swords clashed, and sparks flew loudly.
“It is His Majesty the Emperor’s order to arrest all of you and charge you with treason!”
“Get out of the way, you fratricide!”
Kaang, kaaang!
Clarence was a man of greater strength and breath than Valencian.
To begin with, there was an age difference of about six years, and he had been practicing swordsmanship for a longer period of time.
Of course, Valencian had experience before returning, but it couldn’t be helped that the amount of mana he had accumulated during that time was different.
But in a fight, the more cowardly one is usually stronger.
puck!
He kicked below the knee with his shoe, pulled the long guard and guard together, and kicked the stomach with his knee while they were stuck together like that.
“Ugh!”
As Clarence stumbled for a moment, Valencian displayed his signature delicate and sadistic swordplay.
wickedness!
The sword swung quickly and accurately cut Clarence’s neck.
The blade dug two finger joints deep and precisely cut the blood vessel, causing red blood to flow out.
Valencianus searched through the fallen Clarence’s arms.
A detailed map of the palace has been released.
It was bittersweet that my guilt was slightly relieved.
“You’re trying to sell the secrets of the imperial family… … It wasn’t just a name. This was your price.”
Valencian asked the owner of the footsteps approaching from the front.
“Arieta. Do you have something like this too?”
She did not answer, but took the two-span dagger from her bosom and drew it into the air.
wickedness!
Valencian stepped back, lowering his sword.
Kaang!
There was a crackling sound in the air and blood flowed from his cheek.
“The Wind Blade of the Unlimited Window? It’s truly amazing.”
“My father is the son of the late Emperor, and my mother inherited the blood of a Sylph.”
Evil, evil!
A sharp line was drawn in the air, restricting Valencian’s movements.
He realized that the attack was not intended to kill him, but to clear a path.
“Now! Everyone, run!”
“let’s go!”
“This fu*king thing is over!”
Upon hearing Arietta’s cries, the royal family rushed to the dock.
Some drew their swords, while others defended the rear by firing magic they had been hiding.
Helena tried to catch up with Arietta.
“let’s go!”
The blonde ran out, holding her hand and smiling brightly.
Valencian became furious and recited a spell.
“Sharp stabbing flames!”
A long blast of flame flew towards Lancia’s back.
“You’re surprisingly careless.”
Taking advantage of the gap, Arietta’s wind blade rushed towards Valencianus.
Kaang!
Tentia blocked the wind blade with her body clad in plate armor.
Even the sharp wind blades could not scratch her armor.
“Put down your sword. Don’t you know? This armor is impervious to magic below 5 circles.”
Arietta shrugged.
“As a knight, you know, there are times when you can’t back down even if you know you’re going to lose.”
At that moment, shouts were heard from the dock.
The ships are almost here.
There were also several large men armed with steel clubs and daggers, as if the casino managers had gathered all their old subordinates.
Valencianus cried out to Tentia.
“Kyung. Go and deal with those guys. I’ll deal with Arietta.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Tentia ran out, kicking the ground.
The red mana blade on her sword glowed softly.
Arietta desperately tried to blow a blast of wind blades at her back, but Valencianus had already come up to her.
Then Arietta turned around and faced Valencianus and smiled.
“Turn it over!”
Kakakakakak-!
The wind barrier swirled.
It was qualitatively different from Jin’s when he was an academy student.
It was powerful enough to tear apart a decent amount of armor and body.
However, what came into Arietta’s sight was not Valencian’s flesh, but the flames surrounding her.
“what?”
She expressed her confusion in a sharp voice and quickly deduced the process.
Valencian had drawn the flames of the chariot into his spell and pushed them into her wind barrier.
“profit!”
Arietta, who suddenly found herself surrounded by flames, gritted her teeth and scattered the wind barrier, and Valencianus, who had been waiting for that, charged forward with his sword raised.
Percussion, and evil!
An eerie smile briefly appeared on his lips before disappearing, and the two sword-wielding men quickly crossed paths.
After a few seconds of silence, Arietta’s voice flowed out thinly.
“… … You care so much for your sister. You are a murderer of a family.”
Valencian answered in a serious voice.
“Because you gave me life twice. I wish you had cherished her too, Arietta.”
Arietta was momentarily taken aback by the word “her.”
Because no one ever called Emperor Jayrillis that.
Within, Arietta spoke with a faint smile, even though she was staggering.
“I also had an older sister who cared for me like that.”
Valencian hesitated and asked.
“Was it the Crown Prince’s faction?”
It was a faction that was hostile to the 1st Prince faction that Jaylilith belonged to.
“okay.”
“It’s a pity.”
“Please continue to cherish your little sister. She is the one you chose. Never regret it.”
“I will continue to regret not making my choice sooner. I will continue to regret letting you live. I will continue to regret the long, long grudge that has lasted for 40 years.”
Arietta.
He inherited the countship in place of his cousin who was serving in the army, and used his large territory in the frontier as a base to provide Justinian with money and supplies for several decades.
She answered in a dreamy voice.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Okay. You don’t need to know.”
“Will I be recorded as a traitor? Then it will be a disgrace to my family.”
Arietta’s voice gradually grew weaker.
“No. His Majesty does not wish to clash with the nobles. He will commit suicide with honor and be cremated. I do not want any marks of sword left on his bones.”
There was that much determination in Valencian’s voice.
I was prepared to take preventive responsibility for something that had not yet happened.
“Thank goodness. It’s getting cold. Can you finish it?”
“gladly.”
* * *
“You dirty thieves! Stretch your necks and get down on your stomach right now!”
“Run away!”
“We have to get the boat up and running quickly!”
“Hurry up and burn the royal family! We have to take them with us!”
“It’s too late! Ghaaaaaaah!”
The Sword Expert knight, clad in plate armor inscribed with magical circuits, was a living disaster.
There was no one who could even match Tentia with a sword, let alone mix them.
The royal family lost their sword and wrist, and the prayer lost their sword and neck, and they rolled around on the floor.
Those among the royal family who had mastered magic unleashed spells such as fireballs, lightning arrows, and wind blades, but Tentia’s armor easily deflected all of the spells.
The managers could only sigh as they watched.
“Lord Tentia!”
A blue lightning flashed from the west and a voice they had heard before was heard.
Several knights in black armor and a wizard in blue robes were running along the canal side road.
“It’s the Black Iron Knights!”
A guard on board the transport ship shouted.
“Manager, we’ve reached our limit. If they join us, we won’t be able to stop them.”
“I got a call from the ones I planted on the Crocodile Bird side. They said that wyverns will emerge from the Wyvern Pit soon. You should go.”
“Wyvern? Then it’s already too late! How can you shake off a wyvern with a boat!”
The ruler of the ‘future’ grabbed one of the royals standing next to him and shouted.
“Lancea! What is this? We’re all going to die!”
The long-haired royal man shrugged his shoulders and let out an exaggerated sigh.
“You were the one who said you would let us escape, you were the one who told us to escape together, and you were the one who told us to come here. Who are you arguing with?”
“We’re all going to die now! If you hadn’t brought all the royal family members with you… …!”
“What does that mean?”
Lancia laughed bitterly.
He grabbed one of the royals standing next to him and pulled him towards him, then pulled a large syringe from his waistband and injected it into his body.
“Each and every one of them is a precious shield that protects us.”
“Ugh!”
The royal family member who had been injected with the drug staggered, holding his head.
The surrounding royal family members looked at Lanchea in confusion.
A two-pronged bracelet on his wrist briefly shone in the moonlight and then disappeared.
“you.”
“no way.”
The surrounding royal family hesitated and stepped back.
Lanchea chuckled and grabbed the staggering royal by the scruff of his neck, dragged him to the railing of the ship, and threw him onto the dock.
thud!
Thick tentacles of a mixture of purple and blue began to sprout from the royal body.
Lancia shouted playfully.
“Valencian! Didn’t you say you’ve caught something like this before?”
Valencian, who had just stepped onto the dock, glared at Ranchea, who was standing on the railing of the ship.
“Catch me one more time!”
Lancia showed Valencianus the middle finger.
But Valencian did not harden his face with defeat.
Instead, he smiled at the feeling that the ending to today he had been thinking of would be perfect.
He looked back and shouted.
“Rudy! Shoot that bastard!”
Taaang!
A single bullet split the night sky.
Lancia’s head burst like a watermelon.
