The Lazy Genius of the Duke’s Family (211)

“Ugh, I, I don’t know about that.”

There was no longer any blood in Bettoran’s eyes, which had been red and bloodshot from anger. Just as confusion was about to appear in Benio’s eyes, Bettoran pointed to his wrist, which looked like it had been burned red, and spoke.

“I got that tattoo because she recommended it.”

“Her?”

“In Utah. She did it to me. But….”

Betolan looked at Yutae, who had become a cold corpse. Betolan had an expression that seemed unable to accept reality. Everything had suddenly collapsed.

“What the heck, what the heck is this….”

‘Not Betolan?’

Benio’s eyes lit up. Naturally, Benio’s eyes turned to Yutae. If Yutae was being controlled by the Witch of the West, then she was also exerting control over Bettoran.

In that case, it may not have been Betolan’s intention to kill Utah.

“I, I don’t know why I did that. Why did I, Utah, ah, ahh….”

Betoran remembered everything he had done. But he himself did not understand it. Betoran, who was trembling with self-loathing, was certainly not the man who had been venting his anger a moment ago.

‘Does this mean that Utah woke up from the illusion when he died?’

The Witch of the West controlled Utah. She was a witch who disappeared a thousand years ago, so it would not be surprising if she had the power to control people.

‘The important issue is that through mediation, one exerts control over others.’

But it is a different matter that the Witch of the West exerted control over Bettoran while controlling Utah’s body.

Whatever witchcraft the Witch of the West used, the strange power to control people was the result of decades of training and study by the Witch of the West. This is the foundation through which the Witch of the West was able to manifest her strange power.

But not in Utah.

chuck.

‘He is an extremely ordinary person.’

In Utah, she is a completely ordinary person. She doesn’t even feel any magical power inside her body. However, through Utah, who is controlling her, the Witch of the West manifests her power.

That goes against common sense. No matter how much the witch’s power is beyond the pale, this doesn’t make sense.

“Your Highness.”

Sigh.

Coco crouched down next to Benio, who was examining Yutae’s body. She met Benio’s eyes and spoke.

“It seems like you’re thinking about something similar to me.”

“The Witch of the West. How did she control Bettoran through the entity she controlled?”

Coco’s knowledge of magic is vast. She’s not just a genius at magic. She’s a working genius.

Coco said to Benio.

“As expected. Beto and that guy were being manipulated too?”

“At least in my eyes, he remembers what happened to him, but he denies it. That means it wasn’t intentional.”

And that would be because of the tattoo on her forearm, the Thousand-Horse. Through that tattoo, the Witch of the West projected her dominion onto Betolan. And not directly, but through Yutae.

“There is one way.”

“What is that?”

“Bloodline.”

Benio’s eyes widened. Coco had said that Yutae had inherited the witch’s blood.

“Is that possible? A thousand years ago….”

“History is written by the victors, Your Highness.”

Benio felt as if he had been hit in the head. Even though he saw Haley and her daughter, Benio was trapped in the frame.

“Are you saying that the witch didn’t disappear?”

“It’s true that you can’t make them disappear. Witches are just like people, so how can you wipe out all the witches?”

The witches have joined the Demon Kings’ Alliance’s plan to wipe out humanity. But is that really what all the witches want?

“They say that witches are born of the same bloodline. But just because they are born of the same bloodline doesn’t mean they all think the same. The problem is that they persecuted even those witches.”

So the witches would have gone into hiding. They couldn’t go to the wasteland where people couldn’t live, so they scattered around the world and survived by hiding the fact that they were witches.

“They say that even if a witch’s blood is diluted, it can still awaken if another witch awakens it. The Dean said so. I just listened to the discussion between the teacher and the Dean.”

Witches have the talent to control magic from birth. Because of this, witches have greatly developed magic. If there are witches who cause trouble, then there are also witches who have contributed to humanity.

“If it’s bloodline, then it makes sense that the Witch of the West would manifest her magic through Utah.”

“So you’re saying he sacrificed his own blood relatives?”

“For the witches who were driven out into the wasteland, could the descendants of the witches who survived by hiding among humans really be their blood relatives?”

Good tool.

Benio felt disgusted. The Blood Cult, as well as the witches, do not see people as people. They find it ridiculous to sacrifice others for their own beliefs.

“But it won’t be easy. The Witch of the West is likely to be an incredibly powerful witch.”

“I guess so.”

Even if a witch blooms through her bloodline, it is by no means easy for her to manifest her sorcery through Yutae in the Barondom of Banenka, which is far from the Kingdom of Sanguis.

‘I guess I should at least consider him to be at the level of Master Rambledoor.’

A wizard-level magician. As the power of the Kingdom of Sanguis was gradually revealed, Benio felt that it was not an easy task.

‘Evan. The head of the five families, and a mere envoy, was a master-level one. That means there are at least four more masters of the same level. And one of the four evils, Do-cheol, and the Witch of the West, who is presumed to be a wizard-level one.’

And Sangwis was aware of Benio’s existence. Thinking that these continental powerhouses were after him made me break out in a cold sweat.

But at the same time, somewhere in my lower abdomen, I felt a tickle.

‘If I survive by clashing with the strong, I will eventually become stronger. A sacrifice to stab the head of that bastard, Cheonmadaeje.’

He almost died fighting Evan. But Benio felt that the blocked path had been opened. A change was taking place within his body to advance to the next level.

Benio filled the future with determination instead of fear. Since people are inevitably changed by how they think, it is important to think as if you are hypnotizing yourself.

The mystery surrounding the Witch of the West and Utah, and Bethlan, has been solved. The assassination plot against Utah was itself a huge fraud by the Witch of the West.

“Perhaps the Wicked Witch of the West intended to project her dominance through a grand con at the theater. People tend to let their mental defenses down when they are shocked by something unexpected.”

Mental magic was strictly controlled by the Magic Tower. Mental magic interferes with the human mind, so if abused, it could result in a great disaster.

However, all wizards are trained in mental magic, not to use it, but to defend against and deal with it.

One of the most emphasized aspects of mental magic is breaking down a person’s mental barriers. Even for ordinary people, it is not easy to cast mental magic in a normal state.

However, humans are vulnerable to mental magic if there is even the slightest gap.

“But I stopped that.”

“yes.”

Benio was able to ruin the plans of the Wicked Witch of the West to the extent that the Wicked Witch of the West could say that he was a saboteur. If only three or four of the nobles in the theater had fallen under the control of the Wicked Witch of the West, great damage would have occurred.

The nobles were not simply individuals, but also lords responsible for hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of lives.

‘Then what’s left is Cheonma.’

The tattoo left on Bettoran’s arm, a celestial horse.

Benio couldn’t help but stare at the tattoo and imagine the worst-case scenario in his head.

‘What if not only the Blood Cult came over, but also the Demonic Cult, the Heavenly Demon, and those who are fried in that shit water came over to this world?’

In that case, it seemed like we would have to completely rewrite the Sanguis Kingdom, the world’s version of the Blood Cult. Benio clenched his fist.

‘Cheonma Daeje.’

Benio’s teeth chattered.

The Roche Festival was eventful.

Most of the spectators were busy enjoying the festival without even knowing that an accident had occurred, but the keen-eared nobles noticed that the accident had occurred at the Duke of Orange following Benio.

Because of this, some of the high-ranking nobles who were protecting themselves did not enjoy the festival until the end, and some ended the festival early and returned to their own domains.

And that would be a blow to the pride of the Amorian Empire.

This is because the Empire, the most powerful country on the continent, failed to properly deal with the major incident in which the Grand Duke of the Kepler family was attacked by an envoy from the Kingdom of Sanguis who secretly entered the country, almost to the point of death, and then the princess of the royal family was attacked by an unidentified assailant.

Of course, the Empire can somewhat escape responsibility for failing to properly respond to the reappearance of the cursed clan known as the Witch of the West, a forgotten history, so it is not entirely possible to escape responsibility for the fact that the accident occurred in the Amorian Empire.

Because of this, Emperor Amoria personally came forward and called the Duke of Orange to apologize and pay a huge amount of compensation to the Duke of Orange, thus holding them responsible as a great nation.

And the Prince of Orange also responded to the Emperor’s great distribution.

The Duchy of Orange participates in the war.

The Duke of Orange, who had declared his intention to avenge Princess Cecil, declared in a private meeting with the Emperor that he would participate in the war against the Kingdom of Sanguis as part of the Imperial Allied Forces.

But not everyone welcomed this.

If there is a pro-war faction, there is an anti-war faction. The imperial bureaucracy, led by Duke Ismail, opposed the expansion of the war. Voices grew louder, emphasizing the disadvantages of waging war, citing various indicators.

Even though it was a festival, there was never a quiet day in the Emperor’s villa where the Emperor resided due to the loud voices of the high and low officials of the Amorian Empire.

“Your face is a mess, Severus.”

“…I don’t want to say anything weak, but I just want to sleep for four hours without worry.”

Severus was getting thinner and thinner. Although it had only been ten days, Severus was suffering so much that it was obvious that he was losing weight as a cadet who had been training hard.

The Roche Festival was already difficult, but this year, the incidents were particularly severe, requiring the entire Baron Vanenka family to be mobilized.

Severus groaned, his eyes darkened. Even the sullen Giovanni couldn’t help but sullenly look at Severus.

“So, Benio.”

“huh?”

“Who do you plan on choosing as your companion? The princess? The duchess? Young Lady Celine?”

“Judging by the way you’re talking, I guess it’s worth living.”

Severus’s eyes were dark, but there was a playful look in them. Benio pouts. Everyone who saw it said the same thing.

“No. It’s Chomi’s interest. Wherever I go, it’s that kind of story.”

The rumors about the love affairs of the Archduke of the Kepler family, and the fact that these rumors involve the youngest princess, the flower of the imperial family, a foreign princess, and a noble young lady, are topics that noble ladies can enjoy with excitement.

It’s even more exciting because it’s a story that seems like something out of a romance novel.

“Oh, but is that true, Benio?”

“what?”

“I heard there’s another hidden daughter. The daughter of Baron Pierce. Isn’t that right next to Pinguis Village when you go to Baron Pierce?”

The story of François, the daughter of Baron Pierce, was also spreading little by little. Benio shook his head.

‘The House of Ismail.’

The source of this information is the Duke of Ismail. He confirmed the facts through Baron Pierce and then secretly spread the information. Even if it was a one in a million chance, the axis of the empire could change depending on how the marriage of the Kepler family was conducted.

So, I guess they’re trying to get at least one foot in there.

Just as Benio was about to reprimand Giovanni for his pointless curiosity, Luten came in. Luten nodded to the others and then spoke to Benio.

“My lord, it is time to go to the Prince of Orange.”

“already?”

Benio stood up from his seat, grumbling. Then Giovanni and Lumen laughed and said to Benio.

“He might be the future master, so dress nicely and go, Benio.”

“Just die, both of you.”
