A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?!

“……”

A place of beautiful natural landscapes where the royal family owned a villa.
That was the meeting place.

It had grown as a trade city, being a gateway to the Empire. silence Not far from there was a small village called Perem.

The great city of Karol, in the south of the Kingdom of Linelt.

“Whoever it is, if the goal was to infuriate me, they’ve succeeded brilliantly!”

But three hours had already passed since the agreed time, and the first prince still hadn’t appeared. agent Gerlan Linelt burst out laughing like a madman.

“……”

“Hehehe….”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes, yes… of course.”

“Calm yourself, Your Highness. avalanche You must remain composed.”

Whether it was truly the first prince or someone impersonating him, Gerlan felt the urge to tear them to pieces the moment he had them in front of him.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

Despite his words, Gerlan Linelt was nervous.

What if he revealed what had been done?

Though he tried to appear calm, the escape of the first prince wasn’t something that could be taken lightly.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

Nine out of ten might say it was the rambling of a madman—but what if there was evidence?

Those who had discovered the location of a mansion guarded in utmost secrecy.

The problem wasn’t just the first prince, but the mysterious people who had taken him.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

Those who had managed to break through the defenses so carefully prepared to imprison him.

“Count Pirandello, why in the hell am I only now learning that my brother has escaped?”

Just thinking about what their next move might be made his head spin.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

Even though it wouldn’t have changed anything—since he had already been kidnapped—the human heart couldn’t help but think that way.

“If we had just known a little sooner…!”

“I’m sorry, Your Highness. atom The guards assigned to the mansion and to the first prince were annihilated, which is why we found out too late.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes, Your Highness.”

In the end, having gained nothing, they had no choice but to return to the royal palace.

“…Find the Mercenary King. wizard And also the worm who left that letter on my desk. adapt I swear I’ll tear them apart with my own hands.”

“Wouldn’t it be better to return for now?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Damn son of a bitch!”

[How have you been, little brother?]

[I didn’t think you’d come after ignoring my letters for so long. acoustic I couldn’t go, I’m sorry. sphere But this time it’s for real. abandon I’ll give you the exact time and place….]

And what awaited the second prince Gerlan, frustrated after the fruitless search, was:

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

A few days earlier.

“So he really fell for it.”

It was another letter, blatantly placed on his desk.

“I told you. riddle The suggestion and hypnosis from those types are never perfect.”

At night, Fernan and Hyde watched from the mountainside overlooking the kingdom as the second prince secretly left the capital.

Otherwise, the entire continent would’ve fallen to the demons a thousand years ago. zenith Fernan knew that well—he’d experienced it more than once.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

He was trying to find the culprit by all means, but nothing more.

Though it wasn’t just a guess.

“Even after having his storerooms looted, Patrick Pirandello didn’t flee.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

And he didn’t even know how.

Not a single extra move.

“If it were me, I’d have run right away.”

The six storerooms he had secretly designed had been emptied.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

You were a fool—or you had nothing left to lose.

He didn’t know how they had found out that his treasures were stored there.

If someone could watch you like they held you in the palm of their hand, and you still stayed still, there were only two options.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

By the light of the moon, Fernan opened the newspaper from the previous day.

So it had to be the second option.

And Fernan didn’t believe that Patrick Pirandello, who had spent years planning Linelt’s downfall, was a fool.

【The regent’s speech for the good of the realm!】

“So he plans to cover the lost magic stones and elixirs with those taxes.”

【Some oppose the special tax. silence Is personal benefit really more important than the kingdom’s crisis?】

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

After all, business isn’t done with your own money, but with others’.

He intended to destroy the Kingdom of Linelt using the money of its own people.

“Are you praising a corrupt?”

“He would’ve made a great merchant.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

If he weren’t a corrupt, he’d be a top recruit for any merchant guild.

Fernan raised two fingers.

“What’s good is good.”

“Well, Hyde, we have two options.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

And Fernan’s choice was obvious.

The second option.

“Take out the corrupt before they summon the demon, or take them out afterward—along with the demon.”

“Let’s kill the demon.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

He was a strategist who had planned Linelt’s downfall for years, and also a contractor suspected to descend from the Colomo family.

But it was still the best option.

Will there be civilian casualties? airport Of course. acid Even if they prepared, if the summoning took place in the capital, it would be inevitable.

Patrick Pirandello wasn’t just any corrupt.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

“To restore the first prince’s ruined reputation, we need an even bigger impact. atomic Something stronger than just saying ‘he was a victim of the corrupt!’”

And that wouldn’t be easy.

“If it weren’t for the prophecy book, no one would’ve known until it was too late. echo But our task isn’t just to defeat the corrupt.”

They had to return the first prince to his rightful position.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

And not just that. echo Once the demon appeared, Aint would have to act.

“If it was a demon that appeared, then the first prince couldn’t have done anything but fall—people will think that.”

Seeing a summoned demon with their own eyes would be much more convincing.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

They couldn’t waste it.

And that would be the moment for Aint to shine again.

Even with the Mercenary King and the chancellor, the difference with or without Aint was immense.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

“The damage to the capital will be massive.”

“And the citizens of the capital will be cared for by those they already trust and follow.”

Because when it came time to rebuild—who would the people turn to, if Fernan was among those who saved them?

“The more destroyed it is, the better.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

But he wasn’t a villain who would send people to die knowing from the start there was no salvation.

His gaze turned toward the capital’s center, toward the royal palace.

Fernan wasn’t a saint. silence To him, a handful of gold was worth more than the lives of strangers in distant lands.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Can he really wake up?”

“In theory, yes. academy The holy water is very powerful.”

A king who regained consciousness would be the pillar of his people.

“The rest is up to the princess. arch If the king awakens and the demons appear, he’ll know how to act.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I know, but what if it’s not enough?”

“You don’t mean…?”

“That’s why I’m not going to see those guys right now.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

The days the second prince and Patrick Pirandello would waste going to those meetings. crystal The days they’d lose trying again.

That gave them more than a week’s worth of leeway.

Exactly.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

And if even then there was no effect—

“Then the summoning of the demon will be the only way for the first prince to reclaim the Kingdom of Linelt.”

“If it doesn’t work, repeat it until it does.”

Enough time for Fernan to have the princess visit the king every day starting today.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

Without a strong king to serve as a pillar, the appearance of a demon would become the necessary trigger.

That the king awaken.

In the end, the best thing for the people of Linelt was only one thing.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

After all, even Fernan didn’t want so many people to die.

And that the king know how to lead and react.

***

“Let’s hope that’s the case.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

The siblings were reunited. august With tears in their eyes, they hugged tightly.

“Yuli!”

“I’m sorry, it’s my fault for being so useless…”

“Brother…!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

“He remains bedridden in illness.”

“No, I know. auction I know it wasn’t your fault.”

“And His Majesty?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

The reunion was brief. artist They both knew it wasn’t the time for sentimentality.

“How could it be your fault? accent It was all Gerlan’s doing, allying with the corrupt and starting all this.”

Although Gerlan was also her brother, there was not a trace of fraternal affection in Yuli’s eyes.

“I should have been by your side…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

The current king of Linelt had two legitimate wives—the first prince and first princess were children of the first queen, while the second prince was the child of the second queen.

‘Half-siblings…’

Seeing them, Fernan recalled what he had heard about the past of Linelt’s royal family, informed by the Black Turtles.

Of course, after such treatment, it was understandable.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

A second son more capable than the firstborn. galaxy But a king who favored the eldest son.

The relationships among the siblings became worse than between strangers, and the climax came when the first queen died in a horse-riding accident.

That’s where the destinies of the three split.

And two queens engaged in political struggles to place their own sons on the throne.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

Thus was born a monster willing to eliminate siblings and father alike to become king.

Since then, the second prince harbored a fierce hatred toward the king who had expelled his mother, and toward his older brother, who, despite being less capable, still held the position of heir.

With her gone, the second queen took over the palace as if it were hers, until the king, unable to endure her abuse any longer, deposed her.

“Let’s leave the reunion here. airport Every minute, every second, is crucial now.”

“Understood.”

The first prince and Princess Yuli nodded.

The worst outcome for the Kingdom of Linelt, but the best for the demons.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You’re saying I should repeat that torture every day?”

“…He suffered quite a bit, but he’s regained some color in his face. timber Though he still hasn’t awakened.”

“Your Highness, has His Majesty shown any improvement?”

“That’s already something to hope for. accent From now on, visit him every chance you get.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan turned his gaze.

“Alright.”

“It’s a treatment.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I’m not sure. agent It’s been years since I lived in disgrace, secluded in that mountain.”

“For now, Your Highness, you must gather supporters. alpha Do you think you can regroup those who supported you before?”

“It’s not impossible.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

Before losing his sanity, the first prince had many supporters.

“Most who supported him were demoted or displaced. august All Gerlan’s doing.”

Perhaps with less ability than the second prince, but he was well-liked, kind, and above all, the firstborn.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes.”

“That was Gerlan’s doing?”

Fernan dropped a thick stack of documents.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Allying with Pellenberg means walking the golden path, Your Highness.”

Of course, that “golden” had to be paid for with his own money, but in this case Fernan had already received an advance.

“These are the names of those who supported you before. auction Go through them and choose those you still trust.”

“…When did you do all this?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

That acknowledgment of ambition and desire for power made him even more trustworthy.

“Once you choose, I’ll prepare secret positions for them without the second prince noticing. alpha The rest is up to your ability.”

In the merchant world, they say, “Beware of anyone who claims they don’t need money—they’re the greediest of all.”

“I’ll do my best. arcade I can’t allow the kingdom to fall into the hands of the corrupt. avalanche And to be honest, I want the throne as well.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 244 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan bowed his head respectfully.

No one is free from ambition. arena Those who hide and deny it are often the most dangerous.

That’s why Fernan preferred those who openly showed their greed.

“Then I entrust this to you. acquire The future of the kingdom depends on you both, Your Highnesses.”
