The Duke’s Madness

Kane narrowed his eyes.

Although he didn’t show it, he was terribly embarrassed.

Now only 17 years old.

The 17-year-old said he was killing himself.

In addition, he even asks you to choose the way he will die.

Of course, I’ve never had such an embarrassing experience.

When I was at a loss for words because of that, Arthur opened his mouth again.

“If you don’t choose, I will kill you as painfully as possible. Would that be okay?”

At these words, Kane comes to his senses again.

It was an absurd statement this time too, but it wasn’t as shocking as before.

Because of that, I calmed down and answered.

“You mean you kill me?”

“yes.”

“Why are you trying to kill me?”

Arthur tilted his head.

“Isn’t it strange that it doesn’t kill?”

“what?”

“You are the one who tried to make me an asshole.”

Kane’s eyes go up once more.

He looked at Arthur in genuine surprise.

“Did I try to make you an asshole?”

“yes.”

“Who did you hear it from?”

“I need to tell you that… isn’t it?”

Arthur, speechless, grins.

However, in the low sunken eyes, there was no emotion whatsoever, let alone a smile.

At that reaction, which was clearly different from Yonel’s earlier, Kane laughed again.

‘Right. Holland Leverkusen… . It was not Jonel that the old man moved, but Arthur Bayern. It was because of this dumbness.’

Even before arriving at the Bavarian family, Kane had always had doubts.

Why did Holland Leverkusen suddenly move?

Even if he had noticed the identity of the spies and moved, it could not have been too hasty.

Because of that, Holland Leverkusen.

He guessed that there must have been a reason why the legendary old knight had no choice but to move.

And until I met Arthur, I guessed that it was Yonel Bayern’s change.

‘I saw that Yonel made up his mind and moved accordingly… But it wasn’t.’

It’s true that things have changed, but Jonel Bayern is still Jonel Bayern.

A weak girl who only knows her family.

Just because the personality has changed a little, it doesn’t make a reason for Hollan Leverkusen to move.

However, if it was Arthur Bayern in front of me, that justification was enough.

‘It’s not just that I stopped stuttering… You broke the egg by not stuttering.’

Thinking this far, Kane burst into laughter.

“… ?”

Arthur tilted his head at the sudden laughter.

‘Did I eat something wrong? Why are you laughing all of a sudden?’

It was time for Arthur to mumble and wait for Kane to stop laughing.

Kane murmured with laughter that had finally subsided.

‘But you overlooked it, Halan Leverkusen. That this guy is only 17 years old.’

Arthur Bavaria warned that he would kill him… .

Halan Leverkusen, probably because I heard the whole truth from him.

That’s why he came out here because he couldn’t hold back his anger, and Kane regarded it as luck.

‘Keukkuk… I’d be the first to tell you this. Even if it’s extraordinary, is it because I’m 17 after all?’

Because of that, Kane really liked the current situation.

Didn’t you discover problems so quickly that you weren’t aware of?

Doubts, stumbling blocks in the mind at the same time.

All of that has disappeared and now I can see clearly.

What is the reason for the recent suspicious movement, and who caused it?

‘What’s left is… Do you want to see how much this guy is extraordinary?’

There is no need to do so, but the Duke of Bavaria.

If that is the only heir, the story is different.

Kane at Cannes Madrid.

Recalling the deep secret of the Duke of Bavaria that I had heard from my master, I organized my thoughts.

At that time, Arthur, who was silent, threw a question.

“Why are you laughing all of a sudden?”

“… I mean, it feels good.”

“Are you feeling good?”

“okay. The current situation, this atmosphere. your actions. Everything feels good.”

Arthur narrowed his eyes.

And when I entered this place, I was shocked for the first time.

‘what? Was Kane Dormund a little tasteless too?’

I gave you a notice of murder, do you feel good?

This was quite strange, even by Arthur’s own standards.

In the meantime, Kane opens his mouth.

“okay···. Revenge is a legitimate right. It’s sickening to put up with it. In that sense, you have a legitimate right to avenge yourself. but.”

Kane’s eyes flashed.

“I do not have the power to exercise that right.”

“… .”

“And I have no intention of waiting while you have that power.”

Arthur, who has come to his senses, slightly raises the corner of his mouth.

“You mean you’re going to kill me again?”

“yes.”

“hmm···. yes what I’m guessing anyway, so I’m not that surprised.”

“Don’t you feel unfair?”

“What?”

“Why are you trying to kill me like this? why did you make me sick This resentment, curiosity, curiosity, reason. Don’t you feel like this?”

A sharp-tongued question.

However, Arthur, who already knew the answer, shrugged his shoulders and answered.

“Is there a reason?”

“There is a reason. related to your bloodline.”

Arthur’s eyes widened.

‘It’s not because of the first prince, it’s because of my bloodline? Could it be because of my lineage ability?’

Maybe so, but the motivation seemed lacking.

Because of that, while Arthur is curious, Kane opens his mouth again.

“Your bloodline is a cursed bloodline. An evil bloodline that should not exist in this world.”

“… .”

“How are you? Why don’t you make a bet with me on this truth?’

“A bet?”

“You will be curious about the truth about your cursed lineage, and I am curious about your potential.”

Arthur, intrigued, raised the corner of his mouth.

“What about potential?”

“I heard that you learned the 1st circle in 6 months. Even without a teacher, alone.”

With these words, Kane’s gaze scans Arthur’s entire body.

Realizing that his ring had been exposed by that sharp gaze, Arthur nodded obediently.

“Yeah what… It was.”

“Even if you are a genius, it is very difficult to wake up to Gori in six months without a teacher. So I want to check that potential in you. With light sparring.”

Arthur’s eyes twinkled with interest.

“What about Dalian?

“My second son, Jane Dormund. He just made the 2nd circle, so he should be a good opponent for you.”

“When are you going to do it?”

“Right now is good, tomorrow is good too… Set it to the date you want. And I said sparring, but you can use whatever you can use.”

In response, Arthur stroked his chin.

‘I don’t know why this situation came out… Not bad. If this is the place to be organized now.’

Actually, this intrusion was unplanned.

‘What I did impulsively… okay. Just like me when I was crazy.’

A mistake that happened because the mental illness that I thought was cured was getting better again.

It was also a variable that arose because she could not bear to see her mother, the person she loved the most in the world, being insulted by Cain Dormund.

In that sense, Kane’s proposal was very good.

Jane Dormund.

He is the second son of Kane Dormund, and like Bill Dormund, he was one of the targets of revenge for not killing him in his previous life.

‘If Bill Dormund was quick-witted, then Jane Dormund was lucky.’

If you think you’ve killed it every time, it’s a pretty troublesome enemy that escapes like a ghost.

The sparring with Jane Dormund was a good thing, even from Arthur’s point of view.

but.

‘It’s a pity to end it only with sparring.’

Now that this happened, I had no intention of just boasting about my knife skills and ending it.

So Arthur proposes to Kane.

“May I add a condition?”

“condition?”

“Yes, it is a very simple condition.”

The corner of Arthur’s mouth rises gently.

“Let’s change the sword. So… It’s not a wooden sword, but a real sword. How is it, Count Cain Dormund?”

* * *

The news immediately spread throughout the family.

Jane Dormund.

Arthur Bayern.

Everyone was astonished at the sudden confrontation between the two Confucius.

It wasn’t just the people of the Bavarian family.

The people of the capital who heard this news could not hide their surprise.

“Extra, extra-!! The sparring between Bavaria and Dormund has been completed!”

“What a Arthur Bayern and Jane Dormund! A fight between the two heirs!”

The only duke of the empire.

The Dormund count family, emerging as a rising powerhouse.

Even the imperial family showed interest in this confrontation, which could be the first step in a generational shift.

Because of that, a huge bet took place, and ignorant money began to bet on the victory or defeat of these two boys.

Of course, the higher dividend is Arthur Bayern.

No matter how much I recover my body, the opponent is Jane Dormund.

Although he is said to be inferior to Cain Dormund’s first son, Ian Dormund, he is also an aspiring knight who shows his own genius.

So everyone talked about whether Bayern made a hasty decision.

“No matter how angry I was about being a spy, I should have been patient.”

“But can you put up with that? Is there such a thing as a duke’s face?”

“Even so, how do you mean sending a minor who stuttered just a few days ago to a duel?”

Under such circumstances, it was the day when we decided to engage in sparring.

Anna did not hide her nervousness and moved quickly.

‘ha···. What the hell is this?’

Trouble was predicted from the time Kane Dormund came to the Bavarian family, but she never dreamed that the situation would grow to this extent.

The sparring of Jane Dormund and Arthur Bavaria.

A quarrel between Yonel and Arthur.

Because of that, the atmosphere of the Bavarian family has become a mess.

Everyone trembled with anxiety in that turbulent atmosphere, and Anna was no different.

As Arthur’s butler, he even felt guilty.

Could it be that this happened because he was not able to support the minors well…

With that thought in mind, it was when Anna arrived at the gymnasium where Arthur was.

A minor artist sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.

Arthur Bayern was seen.

“… Didn’t you come?”

“Yes, Gongja.”

Arthur got up from his seat and stretched.

After that, he walked over and asked a question out of the blue.

“Anna, I have something to ask you.”

“… Your Confucius.”

“Right arm and left arm. Where else would you feel more uncomfortable?”

Anna narrowed her eyes.

“that is···. What are you saying, Gongja?”

“Literally right arm and left arm. Which one would you feel more uncomfortable not having?”

Anna is taken aback by Arthur’s calm question.

“uh···. Wouldn’t it feel more uncomfortable if you don’t have an arm that you use often?”

Arthur burst into exclamation at the answer.

“Neither do I. I couldn’t decide even after thinking about it all night, but the decision was made at once. I should do it with my right arm as well.”

Arthur walked out with these words, and Anna blinked and followed behind belatedly.

After crossing the inside of the mansion like that, Arthur headed straight to the arena.

At that moment, Kane Dormund and Jane Dormund, who were waiting for them to come first.

Two men came into view.

Arthur, who was watching the scene, involuntarily exclaimed.

‘ah… .’

My heart started pounding along with the low breath that flowed out.

I don’t know if it was because of the thump, but my vision was shaking.

The world changes in it.

‘The world I saw every day in my previous life… I can see the world again.’

All the sights in front of you are dyed in colorful colors.

Cain Dormund became a hideous monster in that world, and the Bavarian vassals became pretty flowers.

At the unreal sight, Arthur smiled and raised his head.

red and blue.

In the middle of it, I could see the sky colored with strange colors.

Looking at the unusual sky, Arthur murmured.

‘It’s been a while, this world… but what not bad.”

To be honest, it was awkward.

Acting like a normal person and acting like a normal person.

In that sense, it didn’t seem like a bad idea to pretend to be crazy once in a while.

‘Especially in front of those two.’

Finishing his thoughts, Arthur smiled.

“The weather is so nice. Isn’t that right, Count Cain Dormund?”
