After being hit by a storm of telekinesis, Boris’ body was literally in tatters.
His intestines burst and he coughed up blood from his mouth, and his left leg was shattered.
‘Mental magic doesn’t work the way I want.’
It was the indigo magic sphere that used mental magic by concentrating on cohesion and scale.
In addition, through minor adjustments, the limits of distance and power were erased.
Instead, I couldn’t shake the enemy’s mind as I wanted like before.
Some of the hit enemies’ five senses were randomly broken.
Although it could be solved with time or by consuming a huge amount of mana.
It was clear that it was a very annoying attack for the opponent.
Even if you get hit directly by attack magic, it doesn’t just disappear, it’s like it’s scattered and reunited… … .
Although it was a flaw that a considerable amount of mana was consumed during activation.
There was an assistant for super recovery, so it was worth enduring enough.
“Thanks to you, it turned out to be a good experiment, bro.”
Disfigured and vomiting blood, Boris seemed to have no energy to reply.
I didn’t care and continued talking.
“I’ve been thinking about it for a long time, but that artifact doesn’t suit you. I think something simpler would be better.”
Since I was in my previous life, I thought that it was a waste to only use that good thing.
At the time, I didn’t have A-class artifacts like my other siblings.
thump
Boris, who was crawling on the floor bleeding, grabbed the hem of my trousers.
I watched it silently because it was quite deplorable.
Boris barely managed to catch his breath and opened his mouth with difficulty.
“Sah, save me… … Nicola.”
“You know you can’t do that, right? Let’s give up cleanly, brother.”
“I, I have no choice but to do it because of my family’s order.”
“Have you forgotten how many times you tried to kill me when you were young?”
“I! I was wrong… … ! It was only after you died that I realized how hard it must have been. please forgive me… … .”
“It’s not possible. I don’t have the confidence to handle the aftermath of saving my older brother.”
“Don’t tell the family! If you want, I’ll beg you!”
“Hmm… … .”
“Even thinking of my dead father… … Aww-!”
Unknowingly, I broke his finger.
Tsk, if possible, I shouldn’t leave any traces like this.
“If you don’t want to die painfully, let’s not mention your father.”
“Mi, I’m sorry. i just… … .”
“If you guys really respected my father, you wouldn’t have come to this point.”
While talking, I looked at Boris’s body.
It was to determine whether or not information could be obtained through the confession.
As expected, the man’s body was covered with the motto’s spell.
‘It’s stronger than what the Regeneration Church used.’
I thought I could solve it with time.
However, if you release this, there is no choice but to leave traces of the release unless the corpse is completely destroyed.
‘Are you satisfied with the information you have, or are you pretending to be a victim aiming for something bigger… … .’
In fact, the answer was already given.
As I had hoped, I had to choose the latter in order to annihilate the Henrik family and deal a blow to the other giant families.
It’s just that once you make a choice, you can’t go back, so act carefully.
“You, Nicola, please… … .”
Quadduk!
I used earth magic to bind Boris’s body.
Now that the decision has been made, there is no reason to keep him alive any longer.
“I have to manipulate the field a bit from now on. So, I can’t hang out with you any more.”
“Ouch! heck… … !”
“Goodbye, your bloodline will send you the same, so you won’t be lonely.”
Kwajik-!
Boris, whose heart had been pierced by a towering pillar of earth, died just like that.
* * *
After Boris died, I manipulated the scene.
I was pretending that he attacked Henrik’s agent with me.
Cheon-gak’s help was absolutely necessary for this task.
Copying Boris’s spell and mutilating the corpse of the agent.
I had to erase the traces of telekinesis and invisible magic that I left behind.
At the same time, he was able to maintain the breaking point that Boris had activated with the power of the heavenly angle.
While doing these things, Cheon-gak consumed most of his magic even though he did not participate in battle.
‘It’s good that I didn’t participate in the war.’
After finishing the operation like that, the escorts rushed in as soon as the chain was released.
It was because of the traces of magic released when the barrier was lifted.
Thanks to this, the news quickly spread to each family.
People were urgently dispatched from Rien and the royal palace to find out the truth.
I gathered them together and calmly told them my plan.
“I intend to negotiate with the great family over this matter.”
Currently, I was in the office of the Governor.
There were Sharden, his closest aides, and the people of the kingdom.
Everyone looked puzzled at my sudden remark.
“I apologize, Your Highness. Can you elaborate a bit more?”
“Okay, let me explain from the beginning.”
The only people here who knew I was acting.
That’s why they didn’t have to explain why the kingdom acted with only short-term gains in mind.
“I will explain what happened inside. I induced Boris to meet with Henrik’s representative.”
“I heard you had a breakup. How did you get in there?”
“There is something in my power that makes it possible.”
“okay. Then after that… … .”
“I killed both.”
“… … .”
At this, Sharden and his closest aides held their breath.
It seemed like he was having a hard time believing what I was saying.
As if to prove this, he asked again.
“Your Highness, did you really beat that Boris Ronberg? The vice-captain of the Revolutionary Corps?”
“exactly. Is that so strange?”
“Yeah… … .”
It wasn’t strange that Sharden’s aides were speechless.
The Hyukjakdae was one of the infamous elite units of the Ronberg family.
Boris was the vice-captain there, so it was only natural that he was strong.
He had a lot of allies who died right away… … .
In other words, it means that you have the ability to match the level.
It means that a 6-star advanced wizard won.
So it was natural to be surprised and suspicious.
“I understand that the Rien family are surprised, but it is all true and we have to accept it.”
“Yes, His Majesty is not mentioned for nothing when discussing His Highness’s talents.”
… … Some people from the palace shrugged their shoulders proudly.
First of all, the explanation of the situation is important, so I continued.
“The scene is disguised as if Boris killed Henrik’s agent.”
“I am presumptuous, Your Highness. Ronberg is not called the famous magician for nothing.”
“Yes, Your Highness. I think it will be harder than you can imagine to deceive them.”
“Don’t worry, I’m sure you won’t get caught.”
“It will be okay to believe what Your Highness is sure of.”
At Shardan’s assertion, the aides quietly nodded as if they understood.
“With this, the kingdom has gained a justification for bringing troops into the Feyer continent.”
The crown prince, who will ascend the throne, is attacked by a member of a large family.
So it was only natural to send troops to the Feyer continent.
“Then, the great families naturally belonged to the Kingdom, Lien, and Henrik. You’d think these three would form an alliance.”
This was also a burden for Ronberg, Solstad and Yorgil.
Although they have a superiority in power, they must be prepared for significant losses.
“You probably want to avoid going to war with these variables.”
There, I intended to talk to the Ronberg family and give them room for exchange.
“I will ask for a huge reward and information, and eventually lead the other three families to target Henrik.”
“How do you plan to solve it specifically?”
“It’s simple, sign a pact with Henrik not to join hands.”
We decided that it was possible because we were in a bad situation.
The people in the palace, who had been listening to this silently, thought for a moment, and then came up with their opinions cautiously.
“Your Highness, is there any reason for that?”
“Yes, if the three kingdoms, Lien and Henrik join forces… … .”
“That is unrealistic.”
In response to my answer, the people of the Lien family nodded with their mouths tightly closed.
“… … It is as Her Highness Cruz said.”
“The people of the Kingdom may be frustrated, but we can never hold hands with them.”
“This isn’t the first time they’ve targeted Rien.”
The Grand Family Alliance and the North have not been on good terms for generations.
Here, not long ago, they were aiming for each other’s lives, but shake it all off and hold hands?
It was unrealistic.
The emotional part of human beings is by no means small to follow as just rational.
“Even without that, I can’t trust the Henrik family.”
Right now, we can fight together.
But this war will inevitably be a long one.
When the situation stabilized, Henrik was likely to join the great family alliance again and betray us.
“I agree with Your Highness’ guess.”
“Yes, because the Henrik family is famous for giving away honor from generation to generation.”
“These are shameless guys who can do anything with money.”
At this, those from the palace nodded their heads.
Rather than sympathizing with those words, it was because he felt considerable hostility from Shardan’s aides.
“I understand your Highness and the Rien family. But will they really come over?”
“Are you saying that even the great families would think that I was declaring that it was impossible?”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“That part is fine. They are unpredictable problems.”
This was certain because he belonged to a large family.
They did not hide their ambition to devour the northern part of Sigvarda.
And he always pointed out the lack of rationality.
“Most of you will not understand. They are the ones who find it strange that they are fighting back even though they are obviously inferior in terms of power.”
It was the opinion that they should forget the past and act with only the current benefit and survival in mind.
It was because of these two experiences that I was able to have a different perspective from them.
A request to surrender and forget all the irrationality and hostility experienced while living as a bastard.
2 The experience of being possessed by a prince and living as a person of the kingdom.
“You won’t understand the human side of following emotions rather than rationality. Because I have never experienced it.”
“Huh… … .”
Everyone nodded as if they understood.
I said it quite confidently, but in fact, I wasn’t sure that it would work out unconditionally.
‘… … Carl Ronberg might have expected this.’
He was an oddly good guy in this regard.
If that happened, I would have to think of another way, but I needed to move like this first.
“Of course, there are people who don’t think so. I’ll make up for that part, so don’t worry too much.”
The plan after that was simple.
When the other three families attack the Henrik family.
It was to inflict great damage by hitting the back of their heads with the forces of the kingdom that had been brought into the Feyer continent.
“In the meantime, the Lien family can just beat the Henrik guys.”
The goal was to destroy one of the giant families by doing so, and eat their resources and land.
“This is the best and best way I think.”
Those who heard my explanation nodded with serious faces.
It’s not easy and simple, but it was definitely a possibility.
“This must be kept strictly confidential. Until the decision is made, I will maintain the attitude I have had so far.”
“Is it possible?”
“You don’t have to worry. The family is already full of bad reviews about Your Highness.”
“Yes, they say that he is similar to Henrik in that he only knows immediate gains.”
“That’s a bit of a heartbreaking assessment.”
After a while after that explanation.
I was out in the Neutral Zone to meet the Romberg family emissary.
Unlike usual, there was a lot of tension there.
It was because of the kingdom’s escorts, which were of a different size than before.
In such an atmosphere, a man appeared.
“Nice to meet you, Your Highness. I am of the Ronberg family… … .”
“go away.”
My firm answer made the Lonberg people’s faces look bewildered.
I didn’t care and continued.
“What are you doing here? I said I would definitely talk to the highest person.”
“… … Your Highness, I am one of the most elite members of my family… … .”
“I have no intention of having a conversation with anyone other than the head of household.”
drooling.
I stood up resolutely as if there was nothing more to hear.
“This is your last chance. If it doesn’t come out even then, I’ll consider you unwilling to negotiate with us any further.”
“… … Yes, Your Highness.”
“I hope you make a wise choice.”
