The Duke’s Madness - The Duke’s Madness chapter 101
Ian Dormund.
The eldest of Kane Dormund’s three sons, and a man who is regarded as the most outstanding successor.
The tangled relationship with him could not be explained in words.
‘Maybe Cain Dormund. Ian is more complicated than him.’
The man who bumped into the most and fought the most in the past life.
And the beast that took the lead in Bavaria’s extinction.
The man who stabbed me in the chest at the end.
Because of that, the human named Ian was an enemy that must be killed in this life.
If it wasn’t for that, I don’t know if Bavaria would not have been destroyed.
His mother, Yonel, and his sister, Irene, might not have lived such a miserable life.
‘But that enemy entered Arcane on his own?’
Arthur burst into laughter.
With that smile, the world turned upside down.
My head, which had been sane for a while, started to go awry again.
Enjoying that strange feeling, Arthur murmured.
“I want to see you soon.”
Is this the feeling of first love?
My body shuddered, and my breathing became rough.
I wanted to see Ian soon, and I wanted to kill him with my own hands.
Arthur waited for the right time in that strange sense.
As time passed, Arthur was surprised when he found Ian walking around Arcane Campus.
It was because Ian was standing in the distance exactly as he remembered it.
Only the wrinkles were gone from his face, but now he was just like the Ian he knew.
Because of that, Arthur couldn’t stand it any longer and approached him.
“How are you, Ian?”
trembling and excitement.
And it was a greeting that was handed over with excitement.
* * *
Ian opened his mouth, unable to hide his surprise.
“… Are you really Arthur Bayern?”
Arthur laughed at his question.
“Yes, Arthur Bayern. Ah, it’s been too long since I’ve seen you, so I can’t recognize you?”
Ian kept his mouth shut.
Rather than saying that was right, it was because I couldn’t believe the look of Arthur Bayern saying that.
‘The dumb I know… Is it really that guy?’
His tall body and features that make even men admire him.
In the look of Arthur Bayern now, I couldn’t find a single place of Arthur Bayern in my mute days.
Because of that, while Ian couldn’t say anything, Arthur opened his mouth.
“Nice to meet you.”
“… ?”
“It is so nice to see you here.”
Ian’s gaze narrowed as he came to his senses at Arthur’s words.
“Did you have a relationship with me?”
“There are many ties. Oh, was this the first time we met?”
“… ?”
“Anyway, there are many ties between our family and that family. isn’t it?”
Ian’s gaze narrowed.
Arthur laughed.
In the midst of that strange confrontation, Ian opened his mouth again.
“I guess Arcane water is good… .”
The corners of his mouth went up.
“I never thought that a mute who couldn’t speak properly would change like this. What the hell did you do to make that dumb person like this?”
At his question, Arthur stroked his chin.
Ian watched Arthur like that and waited to see what kind of reaction would come out.
Just as the silence was about to fall, Arthur let out a sigh.
“Whoa… It’s unbearable. This is true.”
“… ?”
“Don’t do this? ah… .”
Arthur, who was speechless, laughed.
“Ian. How about you?”
“… what?”
“Chest and head. If these two each hold a different opinion, which side do you follow?”
At these words, Ian narrowed his eyes.
“What is that… Is that bullsh*t?”
“I am. In the past, you usually did what your heart told you to do, right?”
“… … .”
“But now I sometimes follow what my head tells me to do. And usually, the results are better when the head tells it.”
Arthur laughed.
Then he slowly put his hand in his chest and tilted his head.
“But now it’s my head and my heart, and I don’t want to worry about all that.”
“… ?”
“I try to judge according to my feelings. You will know what to do next.”
It was when Arthur’s hand, which had dug into his chest with these words, grabbed the handle of the beast.
An unfamiliar voice interrupted.
“oh my-! Who is this! Isn’t that Ian Dormund!”
Both Ian and Arthur turned their gazes at the voice.
Leon Madrid, who had approached at some point, was smiling brightly.
Ian greeted him without hiding his surprise.
“… Set an example for great blood.”
“Oops. Don’t do this between us! What is courtesy… By the way, when did you come to Arcane?”
“I came in a few days ago on family business. Prince.”
“okay? That’s why Dormundians were seen on campus!”
“… You mean the people of Dormund?”
“I was calling your name very loudly over there. Let’s go!”
It was when Ian, who had hardened his expression, was about to move hurriedly.
He suddenly stopped and looked at Leon and Arthur standing next to each other for a moment.
“… You made some pretty good friends. Prince.”
“Ahh… You mean this friend? good friend! Even if you do weird things sometimes!”
“I will see you again later. then.”
Ian nodded and left the seat.
As Leon watched with a sigh, he felt something cold on his back.
“hmm… What are you doing, Prince?”
Arthur Bavaria’s Bizarre Gun.
it was a beast
Leon answered with a shaking of his neck.
“If I hadn’t stopped, wouldn’t I have killed the author right here?”
“It must have been.”
“How were you going to do after that?”
“well. Wouldn’t the future me have taken care of that?”
Leon closed his eyes involuntarily.
‘I just told you… Ian, he said he came here.’
Even Leon never expected that he would come so openly and point a gun at Ian Dormund.

No matter how crazy Arthur Bayern is, I never thought he would attack Ian on campus.
‘You always overlook that he was crazier than I expected. Whoa… .’
And now the madman was pointing a gun at him.
Leon opened his mouth again to put an end to this situation.
“Are you feeling it too? Did I dry it well?”
Arthur burst into laughter.
“well. Right now my head is praising the prince, but my heart is telling me to kill you.”
“… … .”
“And I usually follow what my heart tells me to do, what do you think?”
At Arthur’s words, Leon recalled an old memory.
‘I miss you… I think I heard this when I first met Arthur Bayern.’
He was aiming a gun then, and he is still aiming a gun now.
Seeing Arthur’s consistent appearance, Leon turned his head and replied.
“If you kill me here, wouldn’t it be meaningless to send Ian?”
“… … .”
“Don’t worry. Opportunity will come soon. A chance for you to kill the author.”
Arthur pondered for a moment before inserting the Beast.
“If that opportunity doesn’t come, I will kill the prince.”
“… ?”
“This time, I am really sincere. So, cooperate well, Prince.”
At this, Arthur laughed.
Leon burst into laughter at that smile.
“Are you kidding?”
“Does this look like a joke?”
“… … .”
Leon shut his mouth.
Looking at it, Arthur sighed.
‘… hmm. Well, it’s a pity I couldn’t kill him, but this isn’t bad either.’
If Leon hadn’t intervened in time, I really would have made a life-and-death decision right here with Ian.
If so, what will happen next?
‘I can’t fix it. Even if I kill Ian, Cain Dormund will attack the Bavaria headquarters.’
I don’t know if it was in the past.
The family was still in good health.
So Arthur decided to put up with Leon’s words for now.
‘Now that I have something to protect, I can’t act according to my will anymore.’
If the thing to protect is family, there is nothing more to say.
Because of that, Arthur was very satisfied with the current situation.
There is still a chance that Ian will die, and the situation has not been complicated.
‘If Ian goes after Jennica anyway, since she’ll stay in this city after all, there’s still a chance to kill her quietly, right?’
You can’t forever remain the madman of the past, Arthur Bayern.

Now he had to take revenge in the normal Arthur Bayern way.
‘That way, I’ll protect my family and make unfinished revenge easier.’
Arthur raised the corners of his mouth and nodded his head in satisfaction.
After that, he smiled at the frozen Leon.
“Whoop whoop… Thanks, Leon.”
“… ?”
“Coming to think of it, I think you dried it well. In that sense, shall we go out to eat? We haven’t eaten anything yet.”
At Arthur’s suggestion, Leon blinked.
Bob in this situation suddenly?
‘hahahaha… this child… You’re really crazy.’
I felt it, but I realize it again.
Arthur Bayern was a real madman.
* * *
Arcane was excited.
The first factor was, of course, the 500 Dormund soldiers waiting in front of Arcane’s main gate.
“Did you hear? They say the Dormund army could come into Arcane this time!”
“what!? Isn’t it illegal for foreign troops to enter!?”
“I heard that you made a big mistake at Arcane University… I heard that the Dormund Count family’s treasure was lost?”
Citizens trembled with anxiety, and Arcane University students whispered.
“oh my god… Isn’t that a war going on because of that Jenika Hazel?”
“Can you just stand by and watch that in Arcane City?”
“Even Count Dormund has a personality… A war between the Empire and the Arcane?”
With that gossip, people on the back streets couldn’t hide their excitement.
“The Dormund army has come… What on earth did that fanatic steal and run away from?”
“I heard that it is a very important family heirloom in Dormund?”
“Gabo? Hmm… Doesn’t that mean that if you catch that fanatic, you can get a bounty worth 10,000 gold and even Dormund’s heirloom?”
Various forces began to move along with the tangled and tangled circumstances of the interests.
In such a situation, Leon confidently opened his mouth.
“The situation is messy, but there is nothing complicated about it. Our target is not Jenika Hazel.”
At Leon’s words, Arthur nodded.
“Yes. Our target is Ian Dormund.”
“okay. But Arthur Bayern. In order to pursue Ian Dormund, you must first pursue Jenika Hazel.”
“… why?”
“Ian Dormund is after Jenica Hazel.”
Arthur stroked his chin.
“Let’s go after Ian who is after Yenika? hmm… Can’t we just ambush Ian?”
“If you’re confident, you can do that, but can you kill Ian in that army without a trace?”
“We can wipe out that army as well.”
“… I’m sorry. I said it wrong. Hmmm! The reason why the ambush doesn’t happen is that there will definitely be traces left. Then there will be no reason to withdraw that day.”
Arthur burst into exclamations at Leon’s explanation.
“That’s definitely true.”
“yes. So we need to follow the traces of Jenika Hazel. Only then will we have a chance to kill Ian, who is after Yenika.”
Arthur pondered and snapped his fingers.
“Then, finding the traces of Yenika is the first thing?”
“No.”
“… ?”
“We need a team to follow the trail of Yenika together. To be honest, this is hard for the two of us to handle.”
Arthur stroked his chin.
“Let’s bring in outsiders?”
“The power to prepare for emergencies. Do you know of any good people like that?”
“well… I don’t have many people I’m closer to than I look.”
“… … .”
“hmm… who is… ah! There is one.”
“someone?”
“A high-level elementalist.”
“… ?”
“And he’s also a gunman.”
Leon’s mouth fell open.
Advanced Elementalist and Gunslinger?
‘Apart from the gunman, you know a high-ranking elementalist?’
Elementalists are considered more valuable than magicians, but if the spiritists were at a higher level, there was nothing more to say.
‘You mean that the power of the palace wizard is coming in?’
Because of that, Leon couldn’t believe it and asked.
“How on earth do you know such a person? Are you a war criminal by any chance?”
“no? Why would I be friends with such a heinous person?”
“… Then you’re a normal person, but you’re a gunman and an elementalist?”
“yes. there… .”
Arthur, who was speechless, laughed.
“She is also a maid in our house.”
“… ?”
“I have a very special relationship with you, and if you ask, they will probably listen. Is this good enough? Leon?”
Leon was taken aback by Arthur’s question.
‘I’m an elementalist, a gunman, and a maid?’
With Leon’s common sense, I couldn’t understand it at all.
That such a person really exists?
But there was a surprise.
“… What is this, Gongja-nim?”
The problem was that he was an elf, not just a human.
