It was all the Mercenary King’s fault.

【The Mercenary King, who attempted to assassinate the regent, kidnaps the first prince who was in confinement!】

“That damn Mercenary King!”

All the anger, all the consequences, were his burden to bear.

“Not even eating him alive would be enough! afford Was it not enough with the regent, and now the first prince too?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 245 published by TrungTu Reads.

No matter how crazy the first prince had been, no matter how many he had killed during his madness, he was still the kingdom’s rightful heir.

“What the hell are the royal guards doing?”

“What if he kidnaps the princess next?”

That they insulted or looked down on him was fine—but for an outsider to attack and kidnap him was something they could not tolerate.

The people were furious, and upon hearing that the special taxes would be used to capture the Mercenary King, they began paying them fervently.

“Now I’m a failure who tried to extort the second prince, and also a bastard who kidnapped the first prince.”

“Yes.”

“…Fernan.”

Although the Mercenary King was the guild’s grandmaster, it didn’t mean he had absolute power.

“These are things people will only say while this lasts.”

“They say the Mercenary Guild is already in chaos.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 245 published by TrungTu Reads.

The guild had formed an official investigation committee, and even though there was no verdict yet, rumors were already spreading calling for his removal for crossing the line.

“And after it’s over?”

“As long as this isn’t over, there won’t be a dismissal.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 245 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Are you sure?”

“I get what you’re saying.”

“Maybe as the Mercenary Guild’s grandmaster, these words might bother you, but…”

“Then no one will dare even suggest he should be dismissed.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 245 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Why would it bother me? absorb It’s only natural for a mercenary to follow the money. matrix And I’ve known for a while now that the hands of the powerful already reach inside the guild.”

Garrett let out a snort.

Even so, Garrett had turned a blind eye. auction For him, it was normal for mercenaries to seek better rewards.

“Now that I see him shine in this situation, I think I did the right thing.”

As long as it didn’t damage the guild’s overall reputation, he let it slide.

“I’ll make sure that thought stays firm.”

“You’d better.”

Yuli flipped through the pages of a book.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 245 published by TrungTu Reads.

The reality that had changed so suddenly was too heavy, and she needed a corner of peace for her heart.

When her father fell ill, when her older brother went mad with insanity, and when the second prince began treating her like a caged bird, she sought refuge.

Reading popular market novels was her only hobby.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 245 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Your Highness, the regent has come to see you.”

It was then that—

The sudden announcement made Yuli shudder.

Perhaps that’s why, every night, she ended the day reading a book. adapt It had become a habit; if she didn’t read, she felt an odd emptiness.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 245 published by TrungTu Reads.

They haven’t discovered me. afford There’s no reason to worry.

Not only because there had been no prior notice, but also because she feared he had discovered what she had been doing behind the second prince’s back.

‘No, stay calm.’

She took a deep breath and controlled her expression.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 245 published by TrungTu Reads.

The door opened. anchor The second prince entered with a haggard face.

Without asking for permission, he slumped onto the sofa and muttered wearily.

“Tell him to come in.”

“Why weren’t you at the banquet hall? meadow Didn’t I make it clear you should keep hosting banquets?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 245 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Wasn’t it Your Highness who banned parties after the Mercenary King’s attack, claiming it wasn’t the time for them?”

Yuli closed her book with a sharp snap.

“What a funny joke.”

Thanks to you, I went for nothing.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 245 published by TrungTu Reads.

The second prince frowned and nodded reluctantly.

“…Yes, it was me.”

“I’ll be direct. harbor Have you received any message from the first prince?”

His brazen attitude repulsed Yuli. acid Though they shared blood, he felt more distant than a stranger.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 245 published by TrungTu Reads.

Seeing his nervous eyes, Yuli bet on the latter.

For a moment, Yuli almost let her face betray her.

Does he know? harbor Or is he just fishing?

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 245 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Yes, it was me.”

“What kind of question is that? artist You yourself forbade me from writing to him and even hid where he was.”

“Are you joking with me?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 245 published by TrungTu Reads.

The second prince growled, exuding a murderous aura that made Yuli bite her lip.

“Do you think that makes sense?”

“I haven’t told you anything, I admit it. sphere But even so, tell me if you’ve received any message from him.”

“Do I look like I’m joking?”

“I don’t have time to play with you. palette Yes or no—choose one!”

He slammed the table with such force that the ornaments fell to the floor with a crash.

Bang!

It was exactly as Fernan Pellenberg had said.

“He will come looking for her someday. advance After all, the princess is the one closest to him.”

“So he will surely pester her with questions. shadow And in that case, do as you please—pretend you know nothing or give him this letter.”

His bloodshot eyes and furious scream made her hesitate. arrow It was the first time since her father’s collapse that she had seen him this unhinged.

They said the corrupt beside him was gradually devouring his mind.

“Were these the side effects of hypnosis or suggestion?”

It made sense that the second prince felt anxious, but seeing him on the verge of hysteria convinced her there was something more.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 245 published by TrungTu Reads.

Even so, she burned with rage.

To betray his father and brother, only to end up like this? beacon Ridiculous and pathetic.

She pitied him, but at the same time thought it was a well-deserved fate.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 245 published by TrungTu Reads.

For now, she could do nothing. arch Only endure.

“Since you’re asking, the answer is yes.”

“…That makes no sen—What did you say?”

How little did they think of Linelt to dare manipulate a prince’s mind?

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 245 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I don’t know when or how it got there, but it was suddenly among my books. amateur And from the handwriting, it’s my brother Antenor’s.”

Yuli took a letter from her chest.

“I said yes, Your Highness.”

“Give it to me right now!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 245 published by TrungTu Reads.

[This time it’s for real. acquire I’ll bring the Mercenary King, the one they say tried to kill you. arch And…]

Gerlan snatched the letter from her hands and unfolded it desperately. avalanche It was the handwriting he knew, the same style as before:

[If you don’t come, you’ll regret it. shadow I swear on my name and my honor.]

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 245 published by TrungTu Reads.

The problem was, even if he wanted to ignore it, he couldn’t.

“That damn Antenor…!”

There was no doubt—he was provoking him.

And again, a time and place for the meeting.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 245 published by TrungTu Reads.

What if Antenor revealed everything? acoustic What if he had proof?

That would be the end. adopt Worse yet, the fact that he had tried to kill the king with the help of the corrupt would be a fatal blow.

“No one, only me.”

“Who else knows about this?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 245 published by TrungTu Reads.

Gerlan stood abruptly and left without saying goodbye.

Yuli watched him until he disappeared, then rose as well.

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

“If this letter reaches other ears before mine, you’ll pay dearly for it.”

The day to cleanse Linelt of the corrupt and the scum devouring it.

She headed toward the king’s chamber. autumn Her steps were heavier than ever.

The day had come.

She took the bag with the bottles of holy water and got ready.

‘If this is a lie again, I won’t let it slide…!’

There stood the person he had longed to see—not just to reclaim, but to tear to pieces. abstract Antenor Linelt greeted him calmly.

Gerlan also considered this the last time and went to the meeting spot.

“Have you been well, brother?”

The tenth royal villa, at the easternmost edge of the Kingdom of Linelt.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 245 published by TrungTu Reads.

Dozens of mercenaries, and right beside Antenor stood the Mercenary King himself.

“So, the Mercenary King was sent by you.”

Gerlan’s gaze, filled with murderous aura, softened slightly. sphere Just as he expected, Antenor wasn’t alone.

“……”

Gerlan ground his teeth.

“What are you talking about, brother? beacon You’re the one who hired the Mercenary King to eliminate the corrupt. arrow He fulfilled your request faithfully, and then you stabbed him in the back.”

“You dared send the Mercenary King to assassinate me? meadow And you still call yourself the First Prince of Linelt?”

“What nonsense are you saying? canvas I never ordered him to eliminate the corrupt…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 245 published by TrungTu Reads.

Then why did the Mercenary King turn out to be the traitor? airport He never threatened him.

“…Right. antique I did. absorb Yes, I did.”

Suddenly, Gerlan stopped.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 245 published by TrungTu Reads.

Not perfectly, as if someone had tried to erase them with black ink, but he could understand the general picture.

A sharp pain pierced his head. sphere At the same time, his mind cleared. meadow Fragments of memories surfaced.

“Patrick…!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 245 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Seems I have no talent for mental magic. admire Dantalion used to say such trivial things would never affect him.”

However, Patrick Pirandello met Gerlan’s gaze with complete calm.

Gerlan’s eyes turned bloodshot.

Even if you’re angry—what can you change?

“Do you feel wronged, for having been under suggestion?”

“How dare you do this to me…?!”

“Your Highness, look around you. afford Does it matter now?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 245 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It was your choices that led to His Majesty falling ill, and to the First Prince going mad and being confined.”

“You…!”

“What can Your Highness do at this moment?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 245 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Do you still not understand what’s important? anchor Do you think the First Prince or the Mercenary King, now turned into an instant pariah, will let you be?”

“……”

Either way, wasn’t it inevitable that you and the First Prince couldn’t coexist under the same sky?

Gerlan closed his mouth. autumn Patrick was right. portal No matter the reason, having reached this point, there was no other choice.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 245 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s you, isn’t it? auction The one shaking the Kingdom of Linelt.”

At that moment, Count Pirandello stepped forward. beacon He bowed—not to the First Prince, but to the man calmly standing beside him.

“I’m not the one shaking it—you are.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 245 published by TrungTu Reads.

And yet, he couldn’t. wizard It was as if he had vanished from the world without a trace.

After fighting the Mercenary King, he mobilized all his resources to find him.

“At first, I didn’t know who it was.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 245 published by TrungTu Reads.

He believed himself to be the ultimate puppeteer, but within Linelt, there were those watching him from above, as if holding him in the palm of their hand.

“Then I narrowed the candidates down to three.”

For Patrick Pirandello, who had extended his influence throughout Linelt both in the light and the shadows, that was unexpected.

Schwaben, Pellenberg, Alprosen.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 245 published by TrungTu Reads.

Abroad, there were few who could command an organization with such power and influence.

“Who?”

“Pellenberg.”

“And it didn’t take long until only one remained.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 245 published by TrungTu Reads.

The ones with the largest information network.

Within the Empire, Schwaben surpassed Pellenberg.

The richest in the continent.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 245 published by TrungTu Reads.

But in Linelt, a third kingdom outside those two great powers, Pellenberg ruled.

He had achieved all of it through immense wealth.

Within Alprosen, Alprosen surpassed Pellenberg.

“And you are…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 245 published by TrungTu Reads.

The man removed his cloak.

His slicked-back black hair and blood-red eyes were revealed.

“Fernan Pellenberg. advance Isn’t that right?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 245 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Fernan Pellenberg? arctic What the hell are you doing here?! athlete This is interference in internal affairs!”

“Correct.”

Ignoring Gerlan’s shouts, Fernan asked:

“What is it?”

“What the hell are you talking about?”

“What’s your relationship with Baelz?”

“Let me ask you just one question.”

In that instant, Patrick Pirandello’s composure cracked.

“……!”

“The mark on your wrist. matrix That one is only engraved on contractors of equal rank, isn’t it?”
