Tyrant Code

As Atrium said, Duke De Monte intends to borrow a cavalry from Casal Moran.However, he hadn't planned to come to Casal Moran's birthday party in person.

Until one morning, a strange memory awakened in his mind—the future "Dermont Pound" actually returned to his 17-year-old age.

...this is when everything has not yet begun.

Dermot Pound shut himself in his room and meditated for a whole day.Fortunately, he was usually bored in the room by himself, so the servants who served him didn't notice the abnormality.

A day later, he immediately ordered to pack up and drive the carriage from the imperial capital to the territory of the Moran family at the fastest speed.

Everything else can be discussed in the long term.Only the king he followed...Demonte swears with his reborn soul that this time, he will never let the life of that king fall into the hands of Atrichia Horne again!

After seeing a alive and kicking Goldo Moran, Demon felt a little relieved, and his anxious mood was also calmed down.It only took him a few minutes to settle the matter of borrowing troops with Casar Moran—because Casar Moran is a strategist who is not inferior to him, and he quickly resolved it after listening to De Monte's request. Pros and cons, then chose to support him.

Then, without a trace, their topic shifted to another person.

"...What do you think of Atricia Horne?" Duke Demont raised his glass and drank his wine, and mentioned the name a little abruptly.

This question surprised the lord a little.

Casal Moran thought for a moment, and replied: "Mr. Horn is a priest with first-class character and ability. To say that he is a talent, it would be better to say...he is a genius."

Duke De Monte frowned slightly, but the corners of his lips evoked a sneer calmly.

Yatricia Horn is certainly a genius.If he wasn't, how could he possess magic power comparable to that of Goldo Moran, and how could he have deliberately lurked in the dark for so long, and seized the opportunity to give the dark king of the Western Continent a fatal blow...

Thinking of Atricia Horne now, Demont was only filled with anger and resentment.He would have liked to hang that fellow on the gallows and burn his body to ashes!

But this method of death seems to be cheaper for him...

Thinking of this, Demont couldn't help showing a bit of viciousness.

Casal Moran frowned, and asked with some vigilance: "Excuse me for taking the liberty. Why did Your Excellency the Duke suddenly ask Mr. Horn?"

Duke De Monte felt a little headache.He bumped in the carriage for a long time, but he couldn't fall asleep at night at the station. Now he felt that his bones were sore and swollen, and his mind seemed to be stirred by a stick.The physical discomfort caused violent emotions to grow in his heart.But he thought again, now he is only 17 years old, he is the powerful Duke of the Celanca Empire, and Atrium Horn is just a small priest... He should kill Atrissa Horn to death It's as simple as squashing an ant to death.This kind of recognition made him feel a burst of joy and pleasure——

So he paled, gritted his teeth, and laughed in a low voice full of pain and pleasure: "Ah. Because I was thinking about how to kill him."

Casal Moran: "..."

Looking at the distorted expression on Duke De Monte's face, Casal Moran suddenly had a question in his heart: Is this lunatic Duke living up to his name, and just happened to be ill today?

What's more, the duke actually raised his head, smiled, and asked in an extremely serious tone: "Tell me, how should I kill him better?"

Casal Moran: "..."

I really can't answer this question for you.

The lord sighed softly, and subconsciously glanced in the direction of the door.

Fortunately, they found a secluded study room when they were talking.The guards guarding the door are also their cronies, and they will not leak out anything they hear.

"...Are you drunk, Your Excellency?" Casal Moran said.

Looking at the duke who was too young, Casal Moran replied to the duke's absurd question with a deadpan expression.Although his answer was tactful, he also expressed his position - he did not agree with the duke killing a priest who was on their side at will.

Duke De Monte raised his eyes and smiled softly: "This is just a proposal."

"——You know, with Varen protecting Lubo, even if we ransacked his treasury, it would only hurt the other side's fur." ​​Duke Demont said lightly, with a strange look on his face, "But if we can reveal Lu Bo’s more atrocities, it’s different... For example, Lu Bo learned who gave the evidence of his violation of the tax system to the king, so he took revenge and killed the whistleblower. Priest of..."

This will not only demonstrate Hester Rupert's heinous crimes, but also arouse dissatisfaction with Hester Rupert within the seminary and the Holy See.

Assassination and poison are the most shameless methods used by the Holy See, who are both priests and politicians.Enough to bring Hearst Rupert into disrepute.

But the premise of all this is to sacrifice the whistleblower who brought clues to the king.

Casal Moran understood in an instant.The person who reported Rupert anonymously was Atrice Horn.

But Casal Moran still disagreed with the plan.

It is true that he hopes to bring down the pope, but he has his own principles and bottom line.

Seemingly seeing Casal Moran’s displeasure, Duke Demont had expected it, raised his index finger and smacked his forehead, and said with a smile, “Look at me, I’m actually discussing these things with a knight .”

Chivalry advocates fair and just duels the most, and is the least ashamed of these crooked things.

Casal Moran sighed softly and had to remind him: "You are now the head of the Imperial Guard, Mr. Duke. Every decision you make is related to the reputation of the royal family, and you should consider it carefully. "

Duke De Monte waved his hand casually, and said "um", not knowing whether he listened or not.

Casal Moran couldn't tell what the Duke thought for a moment, so he chose to remain silent.

The study room, which was already far away from the hustle and bustle, became even more silent for a while.

At this point, the matter has almost been discussed, and Duke Demont intends to leave here.He glanced casually at the side window.

The afterglow of the setting sun gently shines through the windows and pours in.The rays of the sun dyed the white castle walls a faint red.

Through that window, Demont saw the terrace with green vine-like plants diagonally at a glance.There were two people standing there, their figures outlined in orange by the light of the setting sun.

The two had a great conversation on the terrace.Whether it's the body language or the expression on the face, it shows the lightheartedness of this conversation-they seem to know each other very well.

Those two people were Goldo Moran whom the Duke of Demont wanted to protect in every possible way, and Atrium Horne whom he dreamed of killing.

Duke De Monte: "..."

A certain string in his heart was plucked instantly.He asked in a very light and fast voice: "Do they know each other?"

Casal Moran raised his head and glanced in the direction of the window unexpectedly. The figures of Gordo and Atricia came into view, and he immediately understood who the Duke was asking.

So Casar Moran could only reply: "I didn't want to mention it. Mr. Atrichia Horn, entrusted by my humble servant, is currently serving as the clerk of my eldest son, Goldo Moran. teacher."

Duke De Monte's pupils trembled instantly.

After a while, he felt that his headache was getting worse.He braced himself and asked, "Are they... the relationship between teacher and student now?"

In the Celanca Empire, especially among the nobles, apart from kinship, the closest relationship is between students and teachers.The achievement of the teacher represents the glory of the student, and the actions of the student also represent the will imparted to him by the teacher.

Once again the lord sensed that something was wrong, but he had no reason to lie about the matter.So he replied, "Yes."

Demont: "...are they on good terms?"

Casal Moran was silent for a moment.

He looked at his son from a distance, and replied: "...Atricia Horn, perhaps besides me, is the person Goldo trusts and admires the most. Of course, Atricia Horn Mr. Horn also likes Gordo very much, and he has shown unprecedented favor for Gordo, and he even saved Gordo's life."

"Who?...Atricia Horn, saved—" Duke Demont fell silent for a moment, as if he had lost his words.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the terrace, painting everything within reach with a warm color.The scenery on the terrace is more warm and peaceful because of this subtle light.

Demont saw Goldo Moran toasting and clinking with Atrichia Horn.There was a lively and happy smile on that flawless face.Yatricia also didn't have the usual look of rejecting people thousands of miles away. Although his expression was lazy, it seemed that it was a great honor for him to raise a cup, but there was no aloofness on his face. There is no arrogance, and there is a gentle smile in the emerald green eyes.

Duke Demont who saw this scene: "..."

The hairs all over his body stood on end.

After the too huge impact, what erupted in his heart was infinite absurdity, panic and anger.

——He must expel this dangerous fellow, Atricia Horne, from His Majesty!at all costs!
