The Northern Grand Duke’s Crazy Son-in-Law Chapter 125

Episode 125 Partnership

The original plan was that the simpler the better, because then the probability of variables arising would be lower and it would be easier to deal with them if they did arise.

This plan was also simple. The goal was for the Third Prince to cause trouble for both the Grand Duke and the Kingdom Alliance.

For that, Galahad suggested to the Third Prince that he create a conflict between the North and the United Kingdom.

The rumors about the Grand Duke were not good. He was a Grand Duke who pulled out people’s heads and ate monsters. The rumors could not have been good.

It was an engagement ceremony held at the castle of the Archduke, who was known as the tyrant of tyrants.

If all of the invited kingdoms were killed, and the 3rd prince’s knights were killed by the archduke, it wouldn’t be a big deal to blame the archduke for it.

It was a very appropriate bait for the Third Prince, whose provocations to the Kingdom Alliance were not working.

More than anything-.

‘There will be no burden of failure.’

The third prince was a member of the royal family. The Grand Duke could not kill the third prince. You could tell just by looking at the fact that he had sent the crown prince back.

Even if he failed, the Third Prince would only lose his royal knight. Even that would be used as an excuse for war.

To the Third Prince, it was just a game of dice. If a low number came up, he would grumble that it was bad luck and roll the dice again.

‘I don’t know if the prince has a finger.’

Galahad’s eyes deepened.

The third prince stared at Galahad and licked the red blood flowing down the sword with his tongue.

“So we have to do them simultaneously?”

There was genuine excitement in his voice. Galahad nodded.

“If the Archduke finds out that you attacked the Alliance of Kingdoms, he will not act as you intended.”

“What if it doesn’t move?”

The Third Prince smiled broadly. The cool red sword pointed at the imperial knight beside him.

“Are you planning to cut off the head of an imperial knight yourself? Well… Are there only rough men like you in the imperial court? That would be enough grounds for the anti-war faction to raise questions.”

The Third Prince’s smile hardened at Galahad’s calm explanation. Soon, irritation began to rise in his mind.

“You little cowards.”

Thud-. The Third Prince spat. His red eyes stared at Galahad.

“Isn’t it funny? The empire was built on blood, and now you’re afraid of blood?”

It was true. The empire’s strength was not built on sweat.

“Don’t you know that once you drink blood, you have no choice but to drink it until you die? Isn’t that right?”

The third prince looked at Galahad with eyes full of kindness and asked. When Galahad did not answer, the third prince snickered.

“Do you know why I don’t suspect you of coming all of a sudden?”

“Because my plan is sound.”

The third prince shook his head slightly.

“You smell like me. A thick, bloody smell that doesn’t go away even after washing. Very fragrant.”

The third prince raised the corners of his lips as he spoke. It was not a pleasant thing to hear.

“Great undertakings should be done by those who smell blood. Come, have a drink. This is a very good drink.”

The third prince held out a cup with a splendid painting on it. The cup was filled with red wine. It smelled fragrant. It was a mouth-wateringly awesome smell, but-.

“I will drink this.”

Galahad took out his water canteen.

“Oh, do you have any good alcohol?”

“It’s a very good drink.”

Galahad smiled coolly and opened the lid of the water bottle. The terrible scent of demon blood filled the air.

The Third Prince’s face crumpled like never before. He was filled with disgust. It was the exact expression of someone who eats filth.

“It’s terrible.”

Galahad clicked his tongue at the candid assessment and gulped down his water bottle. Thump! Thump! Thump! The egg of pain began to move vigorously.

“He was a terrible guy.”

The third prince poured the wine from the glass into his mouth.

“Very good. Send four and clean up the Kingdom Alliance side. Neatly.”

The Third Prince gestured to the imperial knights.

Galahad suggested sending two or so. The opponent was the Alliance of Kingdoms in the first place. There was no need to send four.

The third prince’s sparkling eyes drew a line.

“just in case.”

Galahad bit his lip at the third prince’s ridicule.

He certainly had good instincts, sending the four of them against Galahad’s advice.

but-.

‘I thought you’d send six.’

The Third Prince seemed to be surprisingly trustworthy. Or maybe he really liked Galahad. Judging from his bright smile, it seemed to be the latter.

‘You’re popular with the royal family.’

Galahad assumed six and deployed them. Four would have been enough for first.

The Imperial Knights were clearly elite knights, but the First was the most elite. Furthermore, it was different from the Imperial Knights in its field.

“Yes, is there any way to provoke the Archduke?”

“I’ve prepared something for sure.”

“Oh, what is it?”

“It’s a secret.”

It was a pretty cocky answer, though-.

“Yeah, it’s no fun if you open the gift early.”

The 3rd Prince’s smile became even brighter.

It’s not fun -. He was definitely crazy. Or he had other ideas.

‘I guess it’s both.’

Galahad thought from the perspective of the third prince. What would he do if he were the third prince?

‘You will deal with me.’

The reason was simple. It was cleaner and more certain to deal with Galahad.

Perhaps he could have blown off Galahad’s head to provoke the Archduke.

“You chose well. Shouldn’t the people of the Empire stay in the Empire? Come back with me. My magic car is really awesome.”

The third prince smiled coolly and handed me the glass.

‘You’re thinking of blowing my head off.’

Anyway, this is why the Empire was a problem. They were people who said they would work together on a great undertaking, but then planned to deal with it behind the scenes. They were completely different people.

I’d rather have an ignorant Gilbutton.

“It’s sturdy.”

Galahad held out the water bottle to her, hiding his true feelings.

The cup and the water bottle made a small noise.

They both emptied their water bottles and glasses in one go.

At that moment, the door opened and an imperial knight came in.

“The forces of the Kingdom Alliance have been confirmed. As before.”

Behind them were the imperial knights I had sent earlier. They were truly suspicious men.

“Don’t feel bad about it.”

The third prince laughed bitterly.

“Yeah, I would have done the same thing.”

As Galahad nodded slightly, the Third Prince laughed heartily.

“Yeah, a man has to be big-hearted. Okay, let’s go do something big. You four, make sure you handle it properly this time.”

Only then did the Third Prince draw his sword. It was a natural thing to do.

Now that the union of the kingdoms has been confirmed, it was reasonable to assume that even if things went wrong, they would unconditionally benefit.

Galahad also smiled back.

Unfortunately, Galahad was also an Imperial bastard.

‘hmm······.’

The Archduke let out a sigh.

My stomach was boiling as if I had swallowed lava. I couldn’t even close my eyes, let alone sleep.

‘Adrianna is engaged.’

An emotion that was hard to explain welled up in me. I was a Duke who was fine even after being bitten by a monster, but my insides were twisted.

‘It was Adriana’s choice.’

Adriana said she would have the engagement ceremony entirely of her own free will.

‘Yeah, that guy is better.’

He was still a guy I didn’t like, but he was better than the other black guys.

The main reason I didn’t like Galahad was because he was a noble of the empire. He looked like the epitome of nobility.

The imperial nobility was the group the Archduke hated the most.

That’s why I didn’t really feel like doing it.

‘He was a savage.’

Somehow, his actions were so bold. I was a bit shaken when I heard that he was a barbarian from an imperial noble family.

Even an engagement party is so twisted, and a wedding party-.

[Father-in-law.]

At that moment, a soldier came in hurriedly. The soldier’s face was subtle.

“Captain Galahad has arrived.”

It seemed like he had come to say hello before the engagement ceremony. He was properly polite, as befitting a nobleman.

“That······I came with the Third Prince. There are also royal knights.”

It was a random story. When the Archduke waved his hand, the soldier opened the door.

There was that guy, and next to him was the Third Prince. And behind him were the royal knights.

‘It looks like they came to attack.’

The Archduke’s eyes narrowed. The bastard’s behavior was quite a mess. It seemed like he had thoroughly enjoyed the eve of the party.

“Your Highness the Grand Duke.”

The guy bowed his head slightly.

“ruler-.”

Galahad stepped forward and drew attention. The Third Prince’s lips twitched.

That look is just-.

‘It’s like I’ve become a proxy.’

He was about to have an engagement ceremony. Why was he suddenly acting as the 3rd prince’s representative? It was hard to guess what the situation was.

As I watched the guy twitching the corners of his mouth, my head started to hurt for no reason.

At that moment, Galahad pointed to the third prince.

and-.

“The Third Prince is after the King of the Kingdom Alliance. After killing the King of the Kingdom Alliance, he intends to cause discord between the Kingdom Alliance and the North. He has already sent four imperial knights!”

He made the accusation calmly. It was a completely unexpected statement.

First of all, if that’s true-.

‘Why did you come together?’

The Grand Duke looked at the Third Prince. The Third Prince was smiling like a snake. There was an air of energy surrounding him.

“This is ridiculous.”

The third prince’s shoulder twisted. The red sword was quickly drawn. It was quite murderous. The sword was pointed at Galahad.

Galahad looked at the Archduke-.

“Oh, you’re becoming a widow?”

He said it shamelessly.

The Archduke couldn’t help but laugh.

*

‘That’s fast.’

Galahad looked at the huge back in front of him and admired it.

The Archduke was already in front of Galahad. He was moving so fast that it seemed like he was using spatial magic.

The Grand Duke grabbed the Third Prince’s sword, which was glowing with red aura, with his bare hands.

Kkwadk! A bloody sound was heard. Aurora and a person’s hand collided, sending sparks flying.

The Archduke caught the auror with his bare hands. The flesh on his hand was torn and bleeding, but he held on firmly.

‘You’re holding Aura with your hand?’

I knew the Archduke was a pseudo-demon, but holding Aura in one’s hand was a different story.

“you-.”

The third prince’s eyes sparkled.

“My whole body was awake.”

The third prince spoke in an excited voice.

The corners of the Archduke’s mouth went up fiercely.

‘My whole body is going to-.’

Galahad took out his leather notebook, forgetting the situation. He looked through the list of heroes who could stop the Demon King. There-.

[The axe-wielding barbarian treats the aura as if it were his own body.]

That was the reason why Galahad did not think that the Archduke was a barbarian wielding an axe even though he saw it.

The Archduke was clearly a barbarian and used an axe, but he did not use an aura.

‘Was it really a muscle that was treated like a body?’

At that moment, my eyes met with the third prince’s beyond the archduke. The third prince’s eyes were smiling, and he didn’t look that flustered.

“You dare betray me. Can you handle it?”

The third prince’s voice was sticky. Galahad clicked his tongue openly at him.

“Betrayal. I kept my promise.”

The Third Prince frowned at Galahad’s answer.

“Didn’t I provoke you properly?”

Galahad smiled, pointing at the Archduke.

“That’s interesting.”

The third prince chuckled. The red aura moved roughly.

Unlike other auras that rose like fire, the Third Prince’s aura dripped down. It flowed down like sticky blood.

A sticky aura filled the Archduke’s hand. Blood spurted out from his hand. The Archduke did not move at all. Instead, the corners of his mouth rose.

Galahad suddenly had a question. When he had used magic on the Archduke before, what he had felt was not an aura.

‘It felt like a monster’s skin.’

Galahad flicked his fingers.

The ice pick stabbed the Archduke’s back. It didn’t go in at all. The aura and the reaction were different.

‘Ah, the skin is that of a high-ranking monster.’

then-.

‘The skin is that of a monster and the muscles are made of aura? Is this really a living thing?’

Galahad suddenly felt a sharp gaze. When he raised his head, the Archduke was looking at him.

“Oh, it’s nothing.”

Galahad waved his hand lightly.

The Grand Duke, who had been clicking his tongue, turned his gaze to the Third Prince. The Third Prince was snickering.

“비켜라. 협약에 묶인 개새끼여.”

Gala Hard was very brave.

“Yeah, I can’t tear your neck off.”

The Archduke gripped his sword even deeper. Blood spurted out roughly, but the corners of his mouth deepened.

“Do you know why the crown prince just went back?”

The third prince’s eyes hardened. The Grand Duke grabbed the crown prince’s sword with both hands.

The Grand Duke’s muscles made a rough sound. Crunch! It was a sound that should not come from a human body. The Third Prince raised his aura even more.

A red aura rose up the Archduke’s hand and up his forearm. The skin was split open and blood was gushing out, but the Archduke did not stop.

The Archduke’s already large muscles swelled even more.

The sword snapped.

The aura is broken.

The third prince’s eyes widened as if they were going to tear apart. His composure disappeared and was replaced by confusion.

“Ugh-.”

The third prince let out a soft breath. His body trembled. It seemed to be a side effect of his broken aura.

‘It’s similar to mana exhaustion, but different.’

Galahad, who felt interested, looked at the third prince.

“What kind of pain is it, specifically? Is it like being stabbed with a knife? Or like a pain like fire burning inside your body? Please tell me.”

The third prince did not answer. He just glared at Galahad and trembled.

“The Union of Kingdoms.”

Galahad coughed in vain at the Archduke’s question.

“Oh, it should be sorted out by now.”

“That’s fast. As if you were prepared.”

The Archduke’s eyes narrowed.

“Aren’t I a bit competent?”

Galahad smiled coolly.

The Archduke clicked his tongue slightly.

At that moment, I met the eyes of the Third Prince. His eyes were fierce.

It seemed like he knew he couldn’t kill himself here.

To him Galahad-.

“Hey, your bowl is a bit small.”

One corner of his mouth rose.

Imperial Knight Kerik readied his sword. He was carrying out his orders to deal with the King of the Alliance of Kingdoms.

The Imperial Knight was the sword of the Empire, capable of stabbing when told to, and cutting when told to cut. There was no need to question it once the order was given.

Within, I encountered the knights of the Kingdom Alliance.

There were two opponents. Kerick frowned at the sight of them leaning against the wall and nodding their heads.

‘You’re sleeping.’

Even though it was dawn, he was still sleeping, which was a shame to be called a knight.

Carrick gave a signal. Two imperial knights stepped forward. They drew their swords. A cool swoosh sound spread.

I made that noise on purpose. So that we could cross swords and die gloriously.

However, the two did not happen.

Disgust appeared on the faces of the imperial knights. The imperial knights stepped forward and thrust their swords. The swords mixed with aura easily cut through the armor.

At that moment, a harsh light emitted from the armor. It was a magic trap. My vision was completely obscured.

‘A magic trap? Are there that many magicians in the Kingdom Alliance?’

It was an unexpected attack, but the armor of the imperial knights had magical defenses. This was all-.

Suddenly, a chill came over him. Kerick hastily drew his sword.

Chaeng! A large figure appeared in the dim vision.

“The knight is making an ambush! What a deadly bastard!”

Kerrick roared in rage. The swords crossed one after another. He was immediately put on the defensive because his vision was blocked.

“I am not a knight.”

In an instant, the ground below became hot. There was a magic circle under my feet. Small sparks flew.

It was a very slight stiffness, but it was a big enough gap in the diagonal. The first was not so soft that he missed it.

A sharp pain was felt in Kerick’s shoulder. The armor was cut by the aura. He had suffered a series of unexpected blows, but Kerick was a knight of the royal family.

I gritted my teeth and moved my sword. The problem was that my opponent’s swordsmanship was better than I thought. It was at least the swordsmanship of an imperial knight.

‘A guy with this kind of swordsmanship skill is ambush-.’

Plus, his aura was strange. Every time he mixed his sword, the flames in his aura would obscure his vision. The heat was distracting.

With the prepared traps added, the character could no longer hold out.

It was a tragic end, unbecoming of an imperial knight.

“I’m not a knight or anything-.”

First laughed, lightly shaking his sword.

“He is the deputy director.”

Pumpkin, who was taking a stance as if reciting a great line, let out a soft sigh and cleaned up.

“Now, here, an imperial knight was trying to attack. Are you sure you saw it?”

Pumpkin asked, pushing in the corpse of the royal knight.

Oh, Kerkek-.

Farhansta nodded blankly.

Adrianna was in front of the room where Count Ambertan was staying. She thought it was polite to visit him before the engagement ceremony.

Adrianna knocked calmly on the door.

“Who are you?”

“This is Adrianna.”

There was silence for a moment. Soon the door opened.

He was a middle-aged man with a dull look. He looked strangely like Galahad, but he felt completely different.

“I am Adrianna, who is engaged to be married to Captain Galahad. I guess······.”

Adrianna took a moment to choose her words. It was ambiguous to call him Count Ambertan. But it was also strange to call him you or you.

[Father-in-law.]

First of all, since we were engaged, it was common sense to call him father.

therefore-.

Adriana licked her lips for a moment. Her mouth would not open. But it had to be done. Hasn’t Galahad been kind to His Highness the Archduke?

Adrianna also had duties.

“I came because it seemed polite to me to see my father.”

Adriana said with the utmost effort.

‘succeded.’

Adrianna, feeling slightly proud, looked at Count Ambertan.

Count Ambertan’s mouth slowly opened. A faint breath escaped through it.

As if I had heard something I absolutely should not have heard.

‘······?’

“Who······Who is your father! I am not your father!”

Count Ambertan began to scream strangely.

Adrianna was taken aback by Count Ambertan’s seizure.

I wonder if I made a mistake.

at that time-.

“Father, I told you to be quiet at night.”

A familiar voice was heard from somewhere.

I turned my head towards him-.

“oh-.”

There was a princess wearing a very gorgeous dress.

“Father, if a guest comes, you should talk to him.”

Adrianna’s eyebrows furrowed.
