A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?!
The sound of hooves echoed loudly.
“From that face, it seems something doesn’t sit well with you.”
The horses galloped as Ludger rode alongside the First Prince, facing the wind head-on.
“…”

“What’s bothering you so much?”
“No, not at all.”
“Since we were kids, you’ve never been good at hiding your expressions.”
Yes, little brother.

The kind princes of Schwaben, hunters of the corrupted.
“The youth of the academy is only lived once. adopt I’m sorry, but think of this as a good opportunity too.”
“It’s nothing. autumn I’m just worried about having left the academy so suddenly.”
At the slightly colder tone of the prince, Ludger flinched and muttered as if making an excuse.

“We can’t fall behind. armor We’re just getting started.”
Armian, with the support of the Pellenberg, was working hard to build his reputation.
“Have you already mastered the sword art of Armian?”
“Doesn’t that sound like a powerful image?”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
“What nonsense are you saying? action I have no idea what that technique even is.”
“Yes. shadow If not, I wouldn’t be leading this mission.”
“Then have you mastered the new sword style developed by Schwaben?”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
“In a world where new demons and corrupted beings appear every day, do you really think His Majesty would sit idly by?”
The First Prince smiled with full confidence.
“Have you located the corrupted?”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
“So you already know all their locations?”
While Aint Armian traveled the continent making a name for himself, Schwaben wasn’t idle.
Of course not.
They had been sharpening their blades, waiting for the First Prince’s sword technique to reach its peak.

“Aint Armian, striving to protect foreign kingdoms. accent The princes of Schwaben, striving to protect the Empire. abstract See the difference?”
It was coincidence, but Aint’s departure was the perfect opportunity.
“As you know, our information network within the Empire is nothing to envy compared to the Pellenberg’s. accent Aint Armian and Fernan Pellenberg left for Frazia, right? ability We’ll take advantage of that absence to eliminate all the nests of corruption within the Empire.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
In the end, we don’t need to worry about the safety of other lands.
“Then shouldn’t we have brought that person?”
“And what’s wrong with a knight accompanying the princes?”
Ludger cast a discreet glance at the old knight escorting them from behind.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
In the distance, a city could be seen—the capital of the County of Ashioph, located between Schwaben and Bercheff.
“Alright, this is it. shadow This is where it all begins.”
The First Prince let out a light laugh.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Eighteen…?”
Ludger couldn’t believe it.
Even after Aint and Fernan had exterminated so many, were there still that many within the Empire?
“From here, we will liberate eighteen territories of the Empire dominated or influenced by the corrupted.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Let’s go.”
But just because it was hard to believe didn’t mean it wasn’t true.
The First Prince gently pressed his legs.
“Yes. anchor I didn’t believe it either when His Majesty first told me.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Follow the prince!”
The horse neighed and charged forward.
***
Ludger and dozens of knights dashed after him.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
“What do we need to do in Pellenberg?”
Instead of going straight south, it turned slightly north and stopped in Pellenberg.
The ship that had departed from the Imperial Academy of Armian didn’t head directly to Frazia.
“Preparation is never enough. alert If Dantalion has truly set a trap, we must anticipate every possible scenario.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
The ship once again set sail toward Frazia.
Instead of docking at the Main Port of Lamons, like most would, the ship anchored at a completely different location—the County of Franz.
Upon arriving at the Pellenberg estate, Fernan gathered the supplies he deemed necessary and re-embarked.
A new porter joined the group, but no one paid him much attention.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
Its port was small and rarely used—until Fernan intervened.
Or rather, the Golden Turtle Guild.
In the past, the County of Franz wasn’t particularly prosperous.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
They discovered a blackstone mine and acquired the mining rights.
To export the mineral smoothly, the port was expanded.
“Glad to see you again, your excellency.”
In exchange, a portion of the profits flowed into the territory, creating jobs and prosperity.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
“You have no idea how much I’m enjoying life lately, thanks to you.”
Count Lodos, bulkier than before, welcomed him with a hearty laugh.
“Hahaha! beacon It’s been far too long, young master Fernan!”
The blackstone mine, a golden goose.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
None of that could be sustained alone.
The business was profitable because Pellenberg maintained troops guarding the mine and provided an extensive trade network.
Of course, the count had considered keeping it all for himself—but he knew his limits.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
“I could make your life even more pleasant.”
“Even more?”
“A copper vein has been discovered not far from the blackstone mine.”
So the count settled for the Pellenberg’s leftovers—leftovers that were enough to triple his territory’s wealth.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Mmm alright. apron After all, I couldn’t exploit it alone even in a thousand years. album Sharing the profits is already a blessing. altitude My county is a gold mine!”
“I’d prefer to reduce the percentage to twenty. arena The area is more dangerous and reinforcing security will be costly.”
Well, a gold mine only for those who know how to make use of it.
“Oh, excellent news! sphere Then let’s sign the contract under the same terms as before.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
“I didn’t do it alone.”
“Alone or not, facing demons at your age? airport It’s admirable. aspect And this beautiful young lady must be Miss Luina Bercheff. atom A pleasure to meet you. antenna And an elf? shadow Then you must be Miss Aria Fridian.”
“So this is the famous Aint Armian, huh? august The one who killed two demons in Linelt.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
“But to come here like this, so suddenly and with such a group… Has something happened in Frazia?”
After ordering the others to rest, Fernan met with the count alone.
“Yes.”
Count Lodos offered Fernan and his group the finest guesthouse in the region.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
The droplets remained suspended in the air, not even touching Fernan.
The serious reply made the count spit out his tea.
“Ah, pardon me.”
“Don’t worry.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
The count sighed in relief.
“No, not in yours.”
“Is there a problem in Frazia? arrow Don’t tell me it’s in my lands…”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
“I’d prefer you to see this first.”
“Then, where?”
Fernan handed him a list of names—seven nobles.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Are these Frazian nobles?”
They were all patriarchs of families into which the Golden Pillar’s informants had infiltrated before disappearing.
“That’s right.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
“That can’t be. alert The Grand Duke Harbert Licatus, connected to them…?”
“I believe that, one way or another, they’re connected to the corrupted.”
“Harbert Licatus, Imbrus Galante, Kret Helan, Are you saying they’re corrupted?”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
He was a powerful noble in the northern part of the kingdom, the one who drew Fernan’s attention the most.
Harbert Licatus was the brother of the current king and had earned everyone’s respect by voluntarily stepping down from the royal line.
“A prudent man. atlas When a dispute over the throne was about to erupt, he was the one who gave up his right of succession to maintain peace in the kingdom.”
“What kind of person is Duke Harbert?”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
“I see. acid And the others?”
“It doesn’t make sense. antenna A man who gave up the throne to avoid war wouldn’t join the corrupted.”
“Well…”
Fernan thought so too. zenith No one in his position would ignore the cost of dealing with them.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
When Fernan returned to the guesthouse, he called for Hyde.
“How was the talk?”
“The count insists Duke Harbert has no ties to the corrupted.”
The conversation dragged on for two hours.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
Fernan nodded. advance He couldn’t rule it out.
“He could be mistaken. adopt There’s a chance our agents were identified as spies and eliminated.”
“Send all Golden Pillar agents to keep watch on Duke Harbert. harbor They must be extremely careful—security there must be on maximum alert.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
A week passed. orbit During that time, Fernan and his group remained hidden.
“Yes, young master.”
Dantalion would know they’d arrived, but not when or where.
Since leaving the academy, they had concealed their seals and changed routes multiple times to maintain secrecy.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Young master, an envoy has arrived.”
It was a way to secure any possible advantage.
Until—
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
“An envoy?”
Count Lodos hesitated.
“Yes, actually…”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Count.”
“No, no! riddle I swear I didn’t say anything! attic If I break my contract with the Golden Turtle Guild, I’ll be ruined again—do you think I’d take that risk?”
“Duke Harbert has sent a letter for you.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
Fernan nodded with an unsatisfied expression.
“He’s already gone.”
“I understand.”
“Where is the envoy?”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
Fernan broke it open and read its contents.
“Yes. ability He left only the letter and vanished like the wind.”
“Gone?”
The envelope, of elegant design, bore Duke Harbert’s seal.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
[I imagine you’re surprised to receive this letter. adopt I was also surprised to learn you’d entered Frazia.
[…] I’ve heard you’ve been stirring the kingdom lately. aluminum Even in my lands, some of yours have been found.
But, no matter that you are a Pellenberg, within my domain, nothing escapes my sight.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Will you go?”
A courteous invitation—too courteous.
If you’re curious, why not come and ask me directly?]
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
He likely had no proof, but that didn’t matter. afford The letter’s contents confirmed Fernan’s suspicions.
“Of course. alpha I can’t ignore an invitation from the Grand Duke after infiltrating my agents into his territory.”
“That no one can move within the kingdom without him knowing?”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
But Frazia—a smaller, less organized kingdom—had?
Neither Alprosen nor Esrin had detected his presence when he infiltrated.
It could only mean one thing: someone had informed Harbert of Fernan’s arrival.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
Directly or indirectly, Duke Harbert was connected to the demon and the corrupted.
“Dantalion…”
“The question is what kind of trap he’s setting by insisting I come.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
Did he want to lure him and Aint away to do something at the Academy while they were gone?
It was so obvious it was suspicious.
But Fernan wasn’t too worried. portal Director Rosalia Vienderk, now an archmage, was there, and the academy was protected.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
“In any case, nothing will go as Dantalion wants.”
Since they were already there, they would root out every trace of corruption to the core.
And even if there wasn’t a trap in Frazia, it didn’t matter.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 267 published by TrungTu Reads.
A caravan of carriages left the County of Franz, heading north.
“We depart immediately.”
