A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?!

‘The royal family’s secret treasure…’

The Pellenberg family itself had several secret vaults—not just across the Empire, but also in other kingdoms.

That’s why Fernan’s greed only grew.

It wasn’t all that unusual. attic Among nobles and the wealthy, setting up emergency stashes “just in case” wasn’t rare.

‘It’s mine. absorb All of it.’

And if, in exchange, he saved a kingdom that should already be destroyed, it wouldn’t be a loss for the princess either.

The Kingdom of Linelt was by no means a weak country. artist Just thinking about how much gold and wealth their secret treasure might hold was a delight.

The prophecy book mentioned it. riddle By now, Princess Yuli was already aware that cultists were rotting the kingdom from within.

In the end, it was mutually beneficial.

“I believe Your Highness knows that better than I do.”

“So you’re saying there are cultists hiding in the Kingdom of Linelt?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 234 published by TrungTu Reads.

Just as expected, she didn’t deny it; she merely bit her lip hard.

“……”

“Of course not.”

“I was there when Kimaris descended and attacked Bercheff. arctic I was also there when Andrealphus appeared at the Academy. admire Do you think all that was just coincidence?”

“How do you know? apron Do you have spies in the kingdom…?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 234 published by TrungTu Reads.

“What is it you’re really after?”

“I already told you—to eliminate the cultists infiltrating the Kingdom of Linelt.”

The Andrealphus incident could be considered “natural” since it happened at the Academy. aluminum But Kimaris was different.

“No. auction I mean what you want to gain from it.”

“I followed the cultists’ trail here. admire What else would a Pellenberg want?”

He joined his thumb and index finger into a circle.

At her words, Fernan smiled without hesitation.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 234 published by TrungTu Reads.

“At least you’re honest.”

“I was merely trying to extract some information.”

“Then, what were you doing with Viscount Kyren?”

“It’s my greatest virtue.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 234 published by TrungTu Reads.

But Yuli’s distrustful gaze didn’t ease.

“About the cultists, let’s say.”

“Information?”

Perhaps she thought Fernan might be in league with the second prince to set her up. album Truthfully, the timing was just too perfect.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 234 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Soon?”

Fernan slowly turned the wineglass under the moonlight.

“I understand it’s still hard for you to trust me. artist But soon, I’ll prove my innocence, and we’ll be able to build mutual trust.”

“I won’t spoil it. timber Gifts are best when unexpected.”

In the end, Yuli Linelt had no choice but to accept. alien She knew the kingdom was rotting from within.

“Very well.”

She nodded.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 234 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I appreciate it.”

“If what you show me is enough to earn my trust, I’ll believe you—and do everything I can to cooperate. beacon If I want to meet you, where should I go?”

“That won’t be necessary. acoustic I’ll come find you.”

“I’ll keep today a secret.”

“What happened earlier… Did you see a prophecy?”

Hyde asked:

Fernan bowed his head. silence The princess gave him one last unsatisfied look before leaving the terrace.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 234 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes.”

“Patrick Pirandello, Count of Pirandello.”

A smile formed on Fernan’s face. agent It had been a fruitful harvest—not only did he know what he would gain from saving the Kingdom of Linelt, but above all:

“That’s the cultist.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 234 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I want everything—how he lives, who he meets with, how much money he has, what his lands and businesses are like—even what color underwear he wears.”

Hyde bowed his head. armor However, they couldn’t leave the terrace just yet.

“That last one might make the Black Turtles uncomfortable, but yes, I’ll follow the order.”

“Hurry, Lycaon.”

“Is it time for your salary review already?”

“How was I supposed to win her trust without showing my real face? voyage It was a necessary investment.”

“Why did you take off the dye right here, without even leaving the banquet yet?”

“If only you didn’t talk so much…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 234 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Next year.”

They returned to the banquet hall ten minutes later.

“Then complain next year.”

***

That meant Gerlan Linelt was exercising strict control over the information.

The next morning, Fernan skimmed through the newspapers, but none of them mentioned the Mercenary King’s visit to the palace.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 234 published by TrungTu Reads.

He accepts my proposal, but admits there are certain aspects that trouble him.

[Gerlan Linelt reached out to me again.

Or at least, that’s what Fernan thought.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 234 published by TrungTu Reads.

He only asked that my presence not be made public—if it became known that the royal family was delegating to outsiders, their prestige would be stained…]

Even though everything appeared quiet, the royal palace was actually boiling with activity.

The second prince, Gerlan Linelt, had secretly contacted the Mercenary King, hiding it from external eyes.

That same day, through the Black Turtle network, a letter arrived from the Mercenary King.

“In the capital. anchor As the regent’s chief advisor, he holds considerable power.”

Very few people knew.

The important question was whether Patrick Pirandello was among them.

“Where is Count Pirandello now?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 234 published by TrungTu Reads.

[Patrick Pirandello, Count.

As expected. airport Otherwise, he couldn’t possibly prepare a large-scale demon summoning ritual right from the capital.

Lord of the County of Pirandello.

Fernan opened the report.

One of the top ten mages in the Kingdom of Linelt.

35 years old.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 234 published by TrungTu Reads.

Since then, his magical ability has grown at an impressive rate.

It was said that in his youth, he wasn’t particularly talented, but ten years ago he fell from a horse.

(…)

“Yes. alien Here’s the map.”

“He changes mansions daily?”

He owned six mansions in the capital and had the extravagant habit of moving into a different one each day.]

Attractive, powerful, and influential, he was popular in high society.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 234 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…A six-pointed star.”

He instinctively connected the dots.

Fernan unfolded a map of the capital, where all six mansions were marked in detail.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 234 published by TrungTu Reads.

Wasn’t it a bit too obvious? aluminum But then again, the strange thing was him—without the prophecy book, he never would have suspected that Patrick Pirandello was a cultist or that he was preparing a ritual.

Fernan let out a bitter laugh.

And at the exact center— the royal palace.

A symbol associated with demons.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 234 published by TrungTu Reads.

“What else? alien If someone goes through that much effort to tell us they’re hiding something, it would be rude to ignore it.”

Anyone else would’ve just thought he was an eccentric rich man with too many houses.

“What now, young master?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 234 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s your turn.”

Fernan awoke the golem resting in his necklace.

The report even detailed which mansion he stayed in each day of the week, the guards, and the layout of each building.

“Wooden.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 234 published by TrungTu Reads.

That was Wooden.

— Kyuu!

An almost undetectable spy.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 234 published by TrungTu Reads.

A clear midday, not a single cloud in the sky.

***

Wooden stepped onto the road with determination.

— Kyu, kyu.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 234 published by TrungTu Reads.

The last few years had been better than the hundreds he’d spent just wandering aimlessly. beacon Wooden didn’t deny that choosing this body had been the best decision of his life.

You could say they were different kinds of pleasure.

It had been a while since he’d moved on his own, and he was in a good mood. antenna Returning to his original form to fight monsters was fun, but from time to time, he also enjoyed this kind of tension—moving around without being detected.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 234 published by TrungTu Reads.

Through the window of the slowly moving carriage, an enormous mansion could be seen. atom Fernan pointed in that direction.

That one?

“Go, Wooden. athlete That mansion over there.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 234 published by TrungTu Reads.

The thing he did best.

— Kyu! meadow Kyu!

“Yes. atomic Find traces of corrupted magic there. abstract You can do that, right?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 234 published by TrungTu Reads.

For Wooden, who contained the purest form of mana, detecting corrupted magic was easy.

“That’s it. agent But don’t let anyone discover you. artist If necessary, turn into stone.”

To him, that kind of magic was like a black dot on a white sheet.

— Kyu, kyu.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 234 published by TrungTu Reads.

Stop talking. atom It hurts.

— Kyu.

“I’m glad you’re enjoying this.”

Fun. armor That’s fun.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 234 published by TrungTu Reads.

Go on, enter.

“All right, I’ll try not to think too much while we’re connected.”

Click. artist Fernan cracked the carriage window open. arrow Wooden dodged glances and leapt onto the mansion wall.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 234 published by TrungTu Reads.

— Kyu!

He was just 3 cm tall—the smallest form he could take.

Tap, he landed softly and slipped into the garden, hiding among loose stones.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 234 published by TrungTu Reads.

Inside the mansion! 51 people!

He slowly extended his roots. artist Soon, he began to sense the presences around him.

Perfect.

— Kyu, kyu.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 234 published by TrungTu Reads.

— Kyu?

‘More than I expected. apron Anything unusual?’

Unusual?

Perhaps because of the mansion’s size, even without the master present, there were quite a few people.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 234 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Yes, for example, a space where detection doesn’t work properly.’

‘If they’ve prepared something in the mansion, it’s definitely a device to conceal magic.’

Corrupted magic, no matter how faint, was so unnatural that, unless artificially hidden, it would always be discovered.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 234 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Then that’s your target, Wooden. arena Go there first.’

Yes! armor In the basement!

— Kyu!

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 234 published by TrungTu Reads.

Wooden nodded slightly.

He was just about to leap into the mansion when he suddenly stopped. wizard He curled up and rolled across the ground.

He had bumped into a maid carrying a large load of laundry. auction He bounced in the opposite direction.

With the objective defined, it was time to move. alien He took advantage of a moment when the gardener got distracted by a bird in a tree and dashed forward.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 234 published by TrungTu Reads.

Wooden’s perfectly rounded body made it impossible to distinguish him from a common pebble at first glance.

The maid began to hang the clothes in the yard.

Wooden got up again, still a bit shaken by the impact.

“Ow! august A rock?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 234 published by TrungTu Reads.

He was proud of his perfect camouflage, but at the same time irritated that these humans couldn’t recognize his grand, glorious self.

Fools, humans.

— Kyu, kyu.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 234 published by TrungTu Reads.

Remember. echo You.

— Kyu.

It was confusing, but the truth was he had lost ground in his advance.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 234 published by TrungTu Reads.

At that moment—

This time there were no obstacles. anxiety Perhaps that earlier stumble had been a step back to take two steps forward. auction Even the door was slightly ajar—how fortunate.

Wooden looked at the maid’s face again and dashed off once more.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 234 published by TrungTu Reads.

No!

Another maid was closing the door. silence The opening narrowed rapidly. harbor Wooden pushed himself to the limit.

— Kyu!

“Huh? adjust Who left the door…?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 234 published by TrungTu Reads.

— Kyu!

Success!

He dove in headfirst, sliding like a plank, slipping through the gap just before the door shut.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 234 published by TrungTu Reads.

But the joy was short-lived. galaxy Aware of the maid nearby, Wooden curled into a ball again, disguising himself.

“What’s this? aluminum Who threw a stone here?”

Now he was nothing more than a rock.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 234 published by TrungTu Reads.

Wooden managed to reenter the mansion ten minutes later.

You too. beacon Remembered.

— Kyu! adapt Kyu!

The maid picked him up and tossed him outside.
