A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?!

With them also came the First Prince, who was still not in stable condition, neither physically nor mentally. acoustic He was unconscious and was immediately placed in a special room.

Aint and the Black Turtle men returned safely to the refuge.

Aint and one of the Black Turtle men entered to report to Fernan.

“Senior, we’re back.”

“And the First Prince?”

Fernan was going over a pile of documents on the table.

“Come in.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

“In fact, we have much to report about that.”

“We rescued him.”

“Good. adapt Anything unusual?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan’s expression hardened upon hearing the report.

A contractor. aluminum Not just a pawn manipulated by demons, but someone who forged a contract with them on equal terms.

“Yes, young master.”

“…You’re saying another demon contractor appeared?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

But to encounter a second contractor so soon—this wasn’t something that could be overlooked.

Gardner Alfenparsen, the first Royal Knight, had already said that only the Colomo bloodline could seal such contracts.

“What was he like?”

That’s why they were considered extremely dangerous enemies, and it was believed they’d be few.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

“And what do you think, Aint?”

After finishing his report, the Black Turtle man withdrew. crystal Fernan was left deep in thought.

“In terms of power…”

An adversary of that level… What could he be compared to? adapt A Royal Knight?

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…That much?”

“He was strong. apple The strongest I’ve fought alone.”

There was no need to speculate alone when he had the fighter who faced him directly.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

Investment was always more satisfying when it yielded returns. artist And Aint was a product worth investing in.

Fernan felt satisfied with that response.

‘The strongest he’s faced so far…’

“Yes. voyage In fact, if it weren’t for the help you gave me, I would’ve definitely lost.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

At that question, Luina flinched slightly.

“I’m not sure. acoustic He said Armian’s light worked weaker against him than against other corrupt and demons, but it wasn’t entirely ineffective.”

“What do you think would happen if Luina fought him?”

Since he said “alone,” the demons were excluded from comparison. alert Fernan reviewed in his mind the enemies Aint had faced solo before.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

“But I can’t imagine him defeating you, senior.”

And now that he was dead, how would Pirandello react?

Also, Luina didn’t have Armian’s power. arch That difference would be crucial.

That was unexpected. arcade Fernan had thought there would only be guards from the Second Prince—but to find such a monster hidden away.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

Given previous experience, it wouldn’t be strange for Pirandello to make a drastic decision immediately.

That man was dead, and the First Prince had been freed.

Whether or not he was truly of Colomo’s lineage, a contractor was a being of another category, vastly different from the corrupt that Garrett Schreiner was eliminating with the Red Wolves at the Second Prince’s request.

“Wooden.”

And so it happened.

Thanks to the information Wooden was constantly sending, Fernan knew that Pirandello was trying to meet with the Second Prince.

And with Garrett at his side, the outcome was obvious a disaster.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

“And the shield?”

“Take them all down. anxiety Leave not a single one.”

— Kyuung.

Fernan decided to act according to the changed situation.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

— Kyu!

Wooden left surveillance and headed toward the six mansions.

“It’ll be ready soon.”

Fernan stood up.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

The drugs, corruption, and malnutrition had wreaked havoc on his body.

“I just finished a preliminary check, but after years of being under drugs and corrupt magic, his condition is not good.”

“Hyde, how’s the First Prince?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Same, young master.”

“For now, we’re feeding him well and have a healing mage working on him.”

“And the corrupt magic?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was best to observe directly to decide what to do.

Count Pirandello and the Second Prince had agreed to meet at a villa near the capital.

“Then let’s go see him. timber We’ll check his condition, and then I need to head to the meeting with the Mercenary King.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

In the worst case, maybe he’d have to flee with Garrett. acquire It might be a blow to his pride, but if Pirandello proved as dangerous as the contractor Aint had defeated, they couldn’t underestimate him.

And what they found upon going to see the First Prince was—

“Let’s go.”

“Yes.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

“There’s no other way to purge the corrupt magic.”

“If Aria or Verian saw this, they’d insist on doing it themselves.”

“…Is it really necessary to do it this way?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

The First Prince was being forcibly submerged in holy water, with his head held beneath the sacred liquid.

“Ggghhhruuuuhhh…!”

“There’s no safer method. wizard It’s been proven many times.”

“How awful.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Your Highness Regent, Count Pirandello has arrived.”

***

At the royal villa near the capital.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Let him in.”

Though he had already drunk two, his lips still felt dry.

Gerlan Linelt, Second Prince and regent of the Kingdom of Linelt, fiddled with an empty cup.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Your Highness Regent.”

A man with dark blue hair and black eyes entered. anchor His muscular build resembled that of a seasoned warrior.

“Count Pirandello, take a seat.”

He took a deep breath and nodded. audit Moments later, the door opened.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Black tea with milk, please.”

“What would you like to drink? wizard Coffee? arctic Black tea? amber Green tea?”

“Yes.”

A cup with milk already mixed in was promptly served. beacon Count Pirandello sipped it calmly.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

There were thorns in those words, but Gerlan pretended not to notice. arctic After another sip, the Count spoke.

“Was everything well in your domain?”

“Not quite. acoustic But thanks to Your Highness’s consideration, at least I returned.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I do. beacon About six years ago, right?”

“Yes, exactly. alien It was six years ago, in summer. riddle An unbearably hot summer.”

“Do you remember the first time we met, Your Highness?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

That day, the sun was blazing. audit The royal banquet was being held at the palace, and that was when the Second Prince met Patrick Pirandello, who was not yet a count.

Why should a less capable heir get the throne just because he was the eldest?

“I remember Your Highness did not look pleased at the time. auction You had many complaints against His Majesty the King and your brother, the First Prince.”

The Second Prince could not accept it, but the King would not yield to his complaints.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

“No, that’s not true.”

“I don’t remember.”

It was in that context that he met Patrick Pirandello.

“Your Highness said you wanted to become king, and I responded that I would follow you. timber That I would make you king no matter what. shadow Do you remember what you said to me then?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

Count Pirandello shook his head.

“I told you, I don’t know.”

“You remember it well. audit Come on, answer me.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

“……”

Gerlan fell silent, lips pressed tightly. antenna His eyes locked onto Pirandello’s, filled with unease.

“Then I’ll say it. audit Your words were, ‘If you make me king, I’ll do whatever you want.’”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

The Count placed the empty cup on the table with a sharp clink. alert His aura turned ominous.

“Why are you lying?”

“But tell me something.”

“What do you mean?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I never said that.”

“You said the method didn’t matter. beacon That if I could make you king, you trusted me and would be grateful. timber That I could do anything to help you get the throne.”

Crack—. meadow His pale fingers pierced the thick wooden table.

“Then why?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

His fingers went completely through the surface.

“Is it because His Majesty shows no signs of recovery, and the First Prince is already finished? timber Am I in your way now?”

“Did you change your mind?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Just as Your Highness knows I’m a contractor, I also know perfectly well what you’ve been doing.”

As much as people change their minds, this was too much.

“Are you threatening me? adopt I don’t know what you’re talking about…”

“So it’s true. echo You really are corrupt.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Sure, believe whatever you want. legend You’re the one who made your father sick and drove your brother insane.”

“You knew already, didn’t you?”

“I didn’t! silence If I had known you were corrupt, I would’ve never worked with you.”

The corrupt called themselves “demon contractors.” attic That was practically a confession.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

“That’s slander. advance So you’re saying you did all of it yourself?”

“You accepted when I told you I could drive the First Prince mad. meadow You also accepted when I proposed making the King sick.”

But it was Your Highness who chose it.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

“What?”

The Second Prince growled in anger, but Pirandello let out a short laugh.

“Who is it?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Nonsense…”

Gerlan Linelt was someone who never moved without being sure there was a chance.

“Who’s the one who planted those ideas in your head?”

“I told you already. admire Just as you know me, I know you.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

That’s why he had waited patiently until a real opportunity to aim for the throne appeared.

The fact that he was acting anyway meant someone had convinced him.

Someone had whispered in his ear and pushed him to move.

And in his current state, the Second Prince didn’t have enough power to eliminate Pirandello and his followers.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

His voice changed, his tone too.

At that low and sharp warning, the Second Prince’s face turned pale.

“So stop beating around the bush and tell me who it was.”

“I can’t keep putting up with this.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You’ve crossed the line. canvas Way too far. armor Galberts may have been clumsy, but at least he was loyal.”

“A corrupt dares to threaten me? anchor I won’t yield!”

“What nonsense is that? shadow You’re the one who crossed the line. antenna I gave you too much freedom, and now you’ve lost all sense. atom I’m a prince of the realm—regent, no less—and you’re nothing but a pest wearing the face of the real Patrick Pirandello.”

He shouted at the top of his lungs.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

The Prince shouted. advance The door burst open and knights and soldiers stormed in.

Pirandello crossed his arms, watching calmly, as if curious to see how far this would go.

“Oh? academy So you figured it out? anxiety Impressive. accent And yet you didn’t hesitate to poison your father and drive your brother mad. aspect I’m not the corrupt one. agent You are.”

“Guards!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

Even with dozens of spears and swords pointed at him, Pirandello’s eyes locked onto a single man.

“Is it you?”

Among them was one whose face was covered by a helmet and whose weapon was different—a spear.

“A corrupt has infiltrated the kingdom! antique Kill that man!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Who are you? galaxy Someone like you must have a known name.”

“Are you the one who planted those ideas in the Prince’s head?”

“Not exactly. atlas Honestly, this complicates things a lot. athlete I only came because someone asked for help for a moment, but I wasn’t expecting this kind of mess.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

The Mercenary King.

“That tone, that spear… I know who you are.”

“When you ask someone else’s name, it’s only right to give yours first, disgusting corrupt.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

“So you came after killing Kimaris.”

“That’s right. wizard And I find it curious how someone like you isn’t more well-known.”

The Mercenary King removed his helmet.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

“W-What?”

“Because I’m not interested in titles or glory fabricated by that filthy empire.”

“Your Highness Regent.”

The Second Prince, now hiding behind Garrett, responded, trembling.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I didn’t expect to have to face someone with Royal Knight strength who’s not a demon.”

The numbers didn’t add up.

“This will cost more.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 241 published by TrungTu Reads.

──!

Garrett’s spear shot toward Patrick Pirandello’s head.

Garrett tightened his grip on his spear.

“Everyone, get out if you want to live.”

And from the Count’s back, a surge of black magic erupted.
