## Chapter 355 – The Plum Blossom Swordsman Reincarnated Into The Baek Family
“I’ve become curious, Baron. What were you planning to get in return for making me king?”
“One is Princess Eileen.”
“Ah, that damned bitch? If I can become king by giving her away, that’s a very cheap price. What’s the other one?”
This was a glimpse into how Aiden thought of his own sister.
He couldn’t help but resent Princess Eileen, who was blocking his path to the throne. He probably thought that if it weren’t for her, he would already be king.
If he had the chance to kill her, he would do it without hesitation.
“The other is obedience.”
“…What?”
“You will obey me. You will do what I tell you to do, and you will not do what I tell you not to do. It’s simple. Isn’t it?”
“You want me to be your puppet? You’re insane.”
Aiden glared fiercely at me.
Even if I had insulted him, Aiden couldn’t execute me on the spot. Not even the king could do that. I was a noble with a title. To kill me for insult, he would have to follow due process.
“Isn’t it a cheap price to pay for reigning as king?”
“I won’t forget this, Baron. If you kneel and apologize right now, I’ll show you leniency.”
“Don’t you want to be king?”
“That’s none of your concern. I have a chancellor. He wields power second only to His Majesty. Unlike you, a mere noble from the borderlands.”
“You trust him, Your Highness.”
“There is no more trustworthy subject than the chancellor. Is our conversation over?”
Aiden rose from his seat with a displeased expression. He was making it very clear that he didn’t want to talk to me.
“Your Highness, don’t forget that this is your last chance.”
“Last chance? Don’t forget that you don’t even have that last chance.”
Aiden clicked his tongue loudly and stormed out.
The reason I chose Aiden instead of Eileen was to swallow this kingdom more easily.
Making Eileen queen would be easy. I just had to get rid of Aiden. That annoying bastard Aiden was someone I could eliminate whenever I wanted.
‘But I can’t guarantee that Eileen will move as I want. Seducing that woman won’t be easy. It’s too bothersome to approach and seduce her like Kyle in the original story.’
Princess Eileen was ambitious and capable. She was different from the foolish noble ladies. If I approached her carelessly, I might end up being used by her instead.
‘And I felt it from the first time I saw her. Princess Eileen is perfect for humiliation.’
I reached out to Yuria, looking forward to that day.
***
The evening after the celebration of King Rapelli’s birthday.
Yuria entered a room in the Prukerus mansion in the capital. Only the moonlight streaming through the window illuminated the dark room.
She drew on her mana and activated it. Her senses, sharpened even further since becoming an Aura Master, more than covered the entire mansion.
Ention and Zent were not currently in the mansion. They had returned to Utren Castle on the border of the Rapelli Kingdom as soon as the banquet ended.
Countess Elaine was currently in Eugene’s arms, and another maid, Melisa, was enjoying a sweet sleep in her bed.
Yuria slowly took off her maid’s uniform. She took off everything, including her garter belt stockings and sky-blue panties. Her smooth, naked body was reflected in the mirror in front of her. She briefly scanned her own body.
Her gaze stopped at her vulva. It was smooth without a single hair. But soon, hair would grow there. Her master, Eugene, had ordered her not to groom the hair there.
She slightly spread her legs and parted her pink vulva. Then, as if waiting for it, a white, thick liquid dripped down. The liquid, dangling like a forcibly stretched rubber band, eventually fell to the floor with a plop.
Yuria wiped her vagina with a clean cloth she had prepared, removing the semen from inside. It was something she did every time, but she felt it was a waste every time. But she thought she could just receive it again next time and scraped off the semen.
Squish, squish.
After scraping off the semen with her fingers for a while, she wiped her vagina again.
“……”
She stared at herself in the mirror with a blank expression. Her mind was currently complicated. It was the first time in years, except when her mother, Nell Lins, had died.
Eugene had kept his promise. Soon, she would embark on the revenge she had always longed for.
“Haa.”
She sighed. It was difficult to control the emotions that were shaking her fiercely today. But soon, her emotions slowly began to subside.
When she regained her composure, she took out the clothes she had prepared from the shadows and changed into them. She put on black underwear and tight-fitting black clothes.
They were the clothes she wore when she went out to kill. They were quite revealing, but she didn’t care. She didn’t cover her face either. After all, the only people who would see her were those who were destined to die.
After changing her clothes and arming herself, she finally tied up her silver-blue hair.
She took out the space-shifting scroll she had received from Eugene from the shadows and tore it without hesitation.
She appeared behind the Helbrit Duchy. It was a castle that stood like it was ruling over the city. It was slightly smaller than the royal palace. Soldiers were on guard on the high walls, and armed knights were guarding the gate.
It would be difficult for an ordinary person to even infiltrate, but she was no ordinary person. And Yuria already knew the information about Helbrit Castle in advance. She had grasped everything, from the underground space to the number of people currently in the duchy.
“……”
Yuria’s body, holding a dagger in her hand, disappeared into the shadows.
Appearing from the shadows on the wall, she swung the dagger imbued with dark aura without hesitation. A soldier’s head was severed and fell to the ground, rolling away.
Yuria didn’t even glance at the corpse and used shadow magic. Small, sharp daggers shot from her shadow pierced the heads of the other soldiers on the wall.
It took less than a minute to kill the soldiers on the wall and the knights guarding the gate.
She looked at Helbrit Castle from the wall and recalled her plan again. First, she would kill the people who were awake. Soldiers, knights, maids, everyone. Then, she would go into the soldiers’ barracks and kill them, and then kill the collateral relatives of the Helbrit family.
Today, the Helbrit Duchy would be destroyed.
“……”
Yuria just moved silently.
***
Golbrat, the head of the knights and the strongest figure in the Helbrit family, couldn’t believe his eyes.
He had woken up to go to the bathroom and found a corpse. Knights, soldiers, servants, everyone was dead. He eventually returned to his room, put on his armor, and grabbed his sword.
‘I’ve seen over 30 corpses so far, but the castle is so quiet…?’
Someone with unbelievably strong power was trying to assassinate everyone in the Helbrit family. His whole body was covered in goosebumps.
What made Golbrat even more horrified was the state of the corpses. They were all instantly killed. Their heads and hearts were pierced, or their necks were cut. What was shocking was the faces of the corpses. Their faces, full of boredom and apathy, showed no fear.
‘They died without even knowing they were dying! Who on earth is doing this….’
He walked quickly down the hallway, wary of his surroundings. He was heading to where the collateral relatives of the Helbrit family were. No matter what, he had to protect those who were of the Helbrit bloodline.
“Is anyone there?!”
Golbrat shouted. He hoped that the soldiers and knights would be surprised and rush towards him. But there was no sign of anyone. Instead, only the stench of blood filled the air.
Thump, thump, thump!
He pounded on the locked door with his fist and shouted.
“Lord Otlex! Are you safe?!”
Otlex Helbrit. The younger brother of the head of the family, he was currently acting as the proxy for the Helbrit Duke. He had the highest power among the collateral relatives, and he was someone Golbrat had to protect.
There was no answer.
He couldn’t feel any presence either.
Sensing something ominous, he swung his sword, which was imbued with red aura, and cut down the door, entering Otlex’s bedroom.
Otlex was dead.
He wasn’t just dead. His whole body was in pieces, and his severed head was distorted with pain and fear. But Golbrat couldn’t pay attention to Otlex’s corpse. The culprit who had caused this carnage was right in front of him.
It was a beautiful woman wearing tight-fitting black clothes. She held a dagger with drops of blood on it in her hand.
Anyone could tell that she was the culprit. But Golbrat couldn’t treat her carelessly.
Her silver-blue hair illuminated by the moonlight, her deep blue eyes. She had the characteristics of the Helbrit family.
“Who are you? You resemble Duke Helbrit. Tell me what your relationship with him is.”
“Sir Golbrat. You’re afraid of me.”
Yuria opened her mouth. She stared straight at Golbrat, instantly seeing through his condition.
“Answer me…! What is your identity! And why are you doing this…!”
Golbrat pointed his sword at Yuria. The red aura was shaking uneasily, as if reflecting his feelings.
“…My mother said. Sir Golbrat was trustworthy and kind, like a father figure. I guess he would be like a grandfather to me.”
“No way. Nell’s daughter……”
“My mother liked you a lot. She thought you were her only family until I was born. That’s why she suffered so much.”
Yuria raised her dagger. The black aura, flickering like flames, gradually took shape and formed a sword.
“Aura Blade…! How did you reach the realm of Aura Master at that age! How!”
Golbrat shouted.
Jealousy suppressed his fear.
The opponent looked to be barely over 20 years old, yet she had reached the realm of Master. On the other hand, he was over 60 years old and had been stuck at the highest level of Expert for 20 years, unable to break through the wall.
“It’s unfair! How much! How much! I’ve worked so hard, praying to reach the realm of Master, and a young girl like you has achieved the realm of Master! It’s impossible! It shouldn’t be possible!”
Golbrat rushed towards Yuria.
Yuria easily dodged his sword. It was ridiculous. She had only shown him the Aura Blade, and Golbrat had already entered the early stages of demonic possession.
“My master said. It’s okay to capture some of them and torture them for the rest of their lives.”
“How! How did you break through the wall! Tell me! Tell me!”
Yuria dodged the incoming aura and swung her left hand up and down. Swish, swish, swish. Shadow chains stretched out from all directions and grabbed Golbrat.
“Gaaaaaaah!”
Golbrat screamed. His muscles swelled up like a monster, and he shattered the shadow chains. He charged like a rhinoceros that had lost its mind.
Yuria easily dodged him. Golbrat crashed into the wall.
Bang!
The wall shattered, and debris flew everywhere.
“Before I came here, I was going to do that, but after seeing you, I realized that you’re not worth it.”
“Master! Master! Master! How do I reach the realm of Master!!”
Red aura emanated from Golbrat’s entire body. Blood dripped from his pores and fell to the floor. Driven by jealousy and fear, he had completely lost his mind. If left alone, he would either go berserk and die or become crippled.
“I have come to value my master more than you, more than revenge, more than my mother, and even more than myself.”
Yuria swung her dagger.
Golbrat’s arms and legs, wrapped in aura, were cut off as easily as if they were made of nothing. He lost his limbs in an instant, was subdued, and fell to the ground, letting out a huge scream.
And only when he was on the verge of death did he regain his senses. He looked up at Yuria, who was silhouetted against the moon, and muttered in despair.
“The lord has given birth to a monster….”
