Academy Genius Tamer Episode 164
It was the urgent cry of one of the guards that woke Count Dwayne’s mind.
The prince’s appearance alone made his blood freeze, and the words that followed made Count Dwayne even more astonished.
“Baek, Count! They say the knights have come from Castica!”
“card… In Castile?”
“Yes… yes! That number is considerable! If you don’t open the door right away, I’ll force you in!”
“What?”
If there is a war with the Castilian Territory, the win or loss is no different.
Count of Blood, Taesoo Han.
There was a time when he aggressively expanded his territory as he was notorious for being bloody, but I know that he is not a person who goes to war without a cause.
Why is such a person bringing the military here? .
The Old Arkenent Territory is probably not a very coveted territory.
Count Dwayne froze.
The prince is sitting in front of him, and the Castilian soldiers are standing in front of the gates.
I couldn’t quite figure out what the situation was.
It’s crazy to pretend to be with Count Han Tae-soo and no one else.
Count Dwayne muttered with a cold face.
“Are you sure you don’t even want to go to war?”
“Maybe?”
“What… what?”
An unusual student with the imperial crest.
No, there is a high probability that the child who must be the prince spit out the words insignificantly.
“I told you I was kidnapped.”
What… what?
“kidnap? Did I say kidnapped?”
“yes.”
“uh… huh?”
Count Dwayne, who was confused in his head, finally figured out the situation.
It’s a kidnapping case.
“uh… uh… !”
My estate was caught up in such a dangerous thing that I could not even dare to speak, and the misunderstood emperor took his own hands.
So, if Count Han Tae-soo, who was favored by the emperor, sent troops directly… .
“Say, it’s nonsense.”
Even if my neck flies, it’s not strange.
It was clear that the Castilian soldiers would seize their territory and execute themselves for treason.
this… What kind of lightning bolt is this?
Earl Dwayne suddenly began to speak respectfully.
“My… When did I kidnap you?”
“I must have been kidnapped now.”
A child sitting on a chair calmly with no place to be tied up, puts such scary words in her mouth.
Even that wasn’t enough, he grinned and grabbed my chest.
“Ugh, I was kidnapped.”
“What nonsense is that… !”
“I was just locked up in a dungeon… Did you? Attempted kidnapping, absolutely.”
“no no! That’s not it! My… How dare I! Degradation of the prince! street… Would you like to lock me up!”
“… ?”
Hanshiha tilted her head and scratched her head.
I didn’t understand the story behind it, but I could tell that the plan was working out.
‘Is this the name of the Castika family?’
Count Dwayne mumbled his words with a panicked look on his face.
“I… I’ve never done anything like that. If you are kind to me just once… .”
Count Dwayne finally trembled and grabbed Siha Han’s hand.
Hanshiha shook her head as if displeased, clasped her hand.
“The one who needs to take good care is here.”
“… Yes?”
burst-.
As soon as the door opened, Count Dwayne’s face turned white.
“Long time no see.”
Count Arkenent walked in slowly.
* * *
7 years ago.
Count Arkenent will never forget the humiliation of that day for the rest of his life.
I had no intention of selling the estate for money in the first place.
However, it would have been less miserable if it had been.
I was forced to get kicked out without a single penny for the estate I had been caring for my whole life.
The finances were already in Dwayne’s hands, and Dwayne bought people with the money and gradually took over the territory.
As the emperor’s order cleared the warlocks.
Jumping into war for the safety of the realm.
He returned with regret that he had not paid much attention to the affairs of the estate.
Taking the life of his young daughter as an excuse, Dwayne cunningly offered the contract.
It was a moment that had no choice but to put a shameful seal.
Anytime, waiting for this moment, I developed my strength.
Count Arkenent was desperate to the extent that even in the agreement with Castica, he offered reinforcements as a condition to reclaim the territory.
If you have money, you will take back this estate.
What I had hoped for became a reality. The plan was pulled because of Han Si-ha.
I heard about Siha Han’s plan through the sound teleport system.
Proposing to join hands with Castika and invade this place with sufficient justification that he was kidnapped.
From the Count’s point of view, it was an offer that had no reason to refuse.
Thanks to this, the Arkenent units and Castika units that had been saved for this time were spread all over the former Arkenent Territory.
To Count Dwayne, Count Arkenent spoke coldly.
“The siege is already over.”
“… .”
“How does it feel to be a mouse in a poison?”
Count Dwayne looked at Count Arkenent with bloodshot eyes.
“Putting the prince down like a scarecrow… Did you come up with such an evil plan?”
shaking.
At the trembling spit of Count Dwayne, the whole thing became silent as if cold water had been poured on it.
“Well?”
“Prince?”
“What else is that?”
“I… I… What does this mean if it’s not about lowering the prince!”
Count Arkenent tilted his head when he saw Count Dwayne’s eyes pointing to Han Si-ha.
Then, I found a fountain pen in Han Si-ha’s hand and smiled.
‘You’ve made a huge mistake.’
Either way, there’s nothing bad about the current self.
There is no need to correct the misunderstanding.
Count Arkenent spoke calmly.
“I’ve been in a position that doesn’t fit your fraction for seven years, so it’s time to come down.”
“What… what?”
“Over the past seven years, more than half of Young Ji-min have left this place. The financial situation was worse than right after the war, and the shopping mall was in ruins. If you have thoughts, shouldn’t you also feel something?”
Count Arkenent put a wedge in it.
“Don’t give enough compensation for the estate. It will probably be enough money to go out to the unseen land.”
We cannot reverse the contract that has already been signed, and we will make sure that there is no backstory through compensation.
Count Arkenent, like Dwayne at the time, offered a contract and said:
Accepting it was another matter.
“that… It cannot be.”
Count Dwayne’s eyes blazed with anger.
“This is my estate that I raised. Do you think I’ll give it back to you?”
“… .”
“I will tell the Emperor! How dare foreigners come in and frame you! They are trying to rob the territory!”
But Count Arkenent was not shaken at all.
“Do you think your Majesty will listen to that?”
“… … .”
Count Dwayne knew.
Castica, the emperor’s favourite.
The Arkenent family took the hand of such Castika.
If you don’t have power, you lose it, and if you don’t have money, you give it away.
Over the past seven years, finances have run out and the military has weakened. It was because they did not have the wisdom to rule this vast land.
That’s why Count Dwayne chose the last resort.
I couldn’t even touch the prince, so I grabbed Solia.
“You guys dare!”
wow.
Count Dwayne grabbed Solia’s neck and thrust a dagger around her neck.
“I will kill you. If you work harder there, I will surely kill your child with my own hands… !”
100 million!
bang-.
Before he could finish speaking, Count Dwayne flew and crashed into the wall.
“uh… uh… .”
Solia brushed her hands and looked down at Count Dwayne with a bewildered expression on her face.
“… Will it be okay?”
Hanshiha touched her forehead and stuck out her tongue.
“Is he a ten-year-old kid? Ande, who was third in the Magic Department… .”
At that time, he had no power and was taken hostage, but now it cannot be.
Solia grabbed her wand and pointed it at Count Dwayne.
Count Dwayne’s lips turned blue.
“big… What kind of power… .”
Looking back at the well-grown child, Count Arkenent smiled wildly.
“You get what you do.”
“… .”
“The land was taken by force, so it must be taken by force.”
“yes… you guys… .”
The moment Count Dwayne was about to get up with his fists clenched.
bang-.
“Gagging!”
Solia fired the magic ball without hesitation.
A heavy sphere of light struck Count Dwayne’s abdomen.
Heck, holding his breath, Dwayne trembled and fell to the floor.
“Kek… Kek… .”
The child I had been accustomed to came back after growing up.
Even if my escort wizards attacked me, I wasn’t sure if I could defeat that power I just showed.
“Ugh… These dogs… Gagging!”
Solia honed her magic once more.
Count Dwayne slammed his head on the floor, getting caught up in Solia’s attack.
Solia looked down at him and spoke coldly.
“Give it back.”
I don’t want to cause any more pain in this land, where the Arkenent family has ruled for over 100 years.
I don’t want to turn the land of laughter into a desolate place.
“This is not the place for you.”
Solia’s staff again aimed at Dwayne’s neck.
If you shoot right, Earl Dwayne will die.
His guards were utterly terrified, and the gates were already besieged.
Weak nobles know that they cannot protect their territory.
It is the most rational decision to take even a small amount of money and drop it.
“Ugh.”
While I was thinking about it, Siha Han smiled and spat into my ear.
“Would you like to write it finely or write it a little rough?”
“eww… Ugh… .”
Adding to the prince’s words, Count Dwayne had no choice but to make a decision.
“I will use… It is.”
shameful decision.
Count Dwayne clenched his teeth and raised his hand laboriously.
“Ugh… .”
7 years ago, I get it back just like I did.
Count Arkenent looked down at the contract he had extended and grabbed the fountain pen.
Now this disgrace… .
I must… .
The moment Earl Dwayne was muttering like that.
“Wait a minute.”
Han Si-ha stopped him with an urgent voice.
Both eyes were red and bloodshot as if they were about to pour out anger.
It was because he suddenly remembered what he said earlier when he saw his clenched fists.
“Didn’t you say that contracts by coercion cannot be concluded?”
Then it’s difficult
“… ?”
Shiha Han whispered as she placed her hand on Earl Dwayne’s trembling shoulder.
“Hey, smile.”
It was the prince’s order.
