Chapter 725 – #96. Jinhaesol (29)
When the prince openly appealed for the existence of dolls, the nobles closed their eyes tightly.
‘The prince finally takes it out.’
‘Since nothing has been said since then, I thought I was lucky enough to get one…’
‘How many contracts did I have…?’
‘I might have to sort out the contract in advance and kill the troublemakers.’
For the nobles, the prince’s threats were fatal.
To the extent that those who laughed at the prince and praised Oddman changed their attitude.
Prince Oddman confirmed the agitation of the nobles and bit his lips.
I didn’t expect to bring this out here, but it wasn’t unexpected.
“Nephew, even if you don’t, I wanted to talk about the doll separately.”
“What are you talking about?”
“That doll, I’ll send it to the temple to investigate.”
“Are you going to investigate this?”
“Yes, I’m thinking of showing the doll to a priest I know.”
“Why?”
“I’m guessing that the doll was made by a warlock.”
The nobles did not miss the mouse hole prepared by Prince Oddman.
“That’s right!! I thought it was strange from before.”
“We need to investigate immediately.”
“Prince! Come on, hand that ominous doll to the priest!”
It didn’t matter if it wasn’t made by a black magician.
Because they had the power to make what was not real.
♧ ♧ ♧
‘It seems like everyone gets stabbed a lot.’
How fortunate is it that there are many people who are stabbed?
Thanks to that, I can threaten without remorse, and I can use it to my heart’s content.
‘A thing made by a black magician…? What could it be Do you know who made it?’
But isn’t it only me who knows who made this doll?
If I say no, it’s not.
So there was no reason to listen to them.
Aren’t they the obvious ones who will confiscate this and study how to make it?
“I don’t think that’s possible.”
“You can’t tell who made it, and you can’t circulate it carelessly in the kingdom.”
Would you pass a snatch bill?
Cursed dolls are banned from distribution. What?
“I can guarantee that this item was not made by warlocks.”
“The prince’s assurances are not enough. At least you have to reveal who the creator is!”
“That’s right, how dare you use such a dangerous object?”
That means they want to know who the doll maker is.
It wouldn’t matter if the doll was dangerous or not.
Because performance is certain.
“I’ve already used this to figure out the culprit. Isn’t it more strange not to use it when it’s so reliable?”
If the doll that nullifies the contract falls into the hands of nobles, it will also be used for their wealth and glory.
“As much as the performance is excellent, there will be side effects corresponding to it.”
“That’s right. At least we have to investigate whether there are side effects in various ways. And it’s right that we have to secure the identity of the creator and investigate him.”
So, the aristocrats threaten to vomit who the creator is.
The skill of making a person an asshole in an instant was staggering.
I quietly watched the aristocrats’ actions, and then poured out my annoyance and said,
“That’s very unpleasant. According to you, I’m a warlock, and I’m a suspicious person.”
“!!!!”
“!!!!”
At my words, the mouths of nobles close again like clams.
“I have already been assured by the priest that I am not related to the warlock. According to you, I am a warlock, what would the priest who confirmed me at the time hear?”
Doubting the priest’s assurances would have ruined the relationship with them.
Since this was a world where mana and divine power existed, the power of religion was exceptionally strong.
Therefore, overturning the result of the priest could bring great danger.
“The prince is the producer?!”
“It’s ridiculous. Aren’t you lying to hide the creator!!”
“That’s right. How can you believe such a lame lie..!”
They vehemently protest against nonsense.
However, nothing changed in my words.
You must have thought it was strange that a doll that hadn’t come out of nowhere came out of nowhere.
Where would I, who lived as a ignoramus, make connections with people who make things like this?
Even the guy who said it wouldn’t be with his mouth seemed to be thinking whether it was long or not.
“Once again, I made it myself. Where could I get someone to make something like this? Unless I made it myself.”
If it was dedicated to a noble, it would have benefited greatly.
But why does he hand over the precious thing he made to a prince who has no power?
It makes no sense.
“I won’t believe it until I see it with my own eyes!”
“Then prove it. It’s not difficult.”
Bad Deuk-!
Oudman’s ball crunches, and the sound of grinding his teeth is heard.
The sound was so clear that I felt like I was drinking cider.
“Now you admit it. Denying it like that won’t change anything. And…I think I’ve waited long enough for this, but do you need more time to think?”
“…”
“…”
So far, none of the nobles have changed their minds.
Every time my eyes reach, the nobles wake up! I was averting my gaze.
‘Does he have to be treated as an example to come to his senses?’
It wasn’t that it didn’t work at all.
There were many nobles who were restless and rolled their eyes.
It seems that there are quite a few guys who will come over if you touch them a little.
The problem is that those guys are the ones who criticized me especially a lot.
‘Only the bastards I won’t have even if I give them…’
In the first place, since they were such bats, they would have done rude things without hesitation.
“I-I…”
“Don’t be rash.”
Among the aristocrats, those with some brains were carefully examining the situation.
The moment one of the nobles, frightened by my threat, tried to sneak away, a nobleman stopped them.
“Prince, are you threatening us nobles?”
“Fortunately, it seems to have been accepted as a threat.”
“…No matter how great the bloodline, the environment in which you grew up is bound to show through. Do you think we’ll be shaken by something like that? I don’t know if the prince can handle this insult.”
I had to make 3,000 concubines, so I had no time to worry about politics.
From now on, the nobles will have to diligently rule the country instead of me.
‘So, those who will always bother me, I’ll deal with them all at once.’
If the King has crushed them with authority, I will immobilize them through my ability to void contracts.
“It’s what I said, so if you tell me to handle it, I’ll do it. It seems like there’s nothing I can’t do.”
Oddman, the only reason the author can be in this position is because the support of the nobles is heading towards him.
The moment he loses the support of the nobles, he loses the power to oppose me.
“And isn’t it me who gets threatened first? It doesn’t matter if you threaten yourself, but do you hate being threatened by others that much?”
Isn’t it too harsh for me?
I haven’t threatened properly yet, but I wonder what to do if I’m already trembling, asking if it’s a threat.
“You say blackmail, so I’ll make a proper threat. You won’t know whether the contract I made with someone was broken or not. The person I thought was protecting me could be the assassin who came to seek my life.”
The nobles who do not cooperate with me will be afraid of the night and will not be able to sleep well.
“!!!!”
It is said that nobles always make a ‘contract’ with the escorts who protect their lives.
The king also uses knights like that, so isn’t there any reason not to say that he is a nobleman?
The moment the contract, which was written in favor of the nobility, is released,
They won’t be able to bear the resentment heaps on them.
“Prince!! Are you talking too harshly!”
“The contract is an old kingdom tradition that has been kept sacred until now! The prince is shaking the foundations of the kingdom!”
“The basis? It may have been at the beginning, but isn’t it now? How can a contract that has become a means of coercion by intimidation become the basis of a kingdom?”
Because they could not be broken, the contract was abused more and more viciously.
The nobles were blocking their resentment through contracts, and the victims would have had to suffer without even saying that they were unfair.
“Or, through this, I wonder what it would be like to help the people who were unfairly victimized by the contract.”
Hee!!
The nobles trembled as if they had heard something terrible.
His expression was full of astonishment, as if he had heard humiliating words.
Doing something for the common people seemed absurd and absurd to them.
“This is nonsense!!”
“I don’t understand why you hate it so much. Aren’t you sorry for the commoners who have been unfairly victimized?”
To the astonished nobles, he deliberately pretended to be naive and tilted his head.
“What’s the point of using precious things for those idiots!!”
Yeah, it’s not worth it
Because it is something that can only be purchased with coins.
However, if you play promiscuously around your waist like before, you will be able to handle it.
“Can’t you at least let people know that the rumors surrounding me these days aren’t true? If the people can feel safe, I think I can make this much sacrifice. I’m producing it anyway, so there’s no big burden.”
A prince who saves people who have been harmed by contracts!
The shaken public sentiment will return to me in an instant.
“These are meaningless actions that claim that they have not learned anything. If I leave them alone, they will be cut down by my grass. There is no reason for the prince to give such consideration.”
“That’s right. If they say something, we’ll catch them and punish them.”
It’s ridiculous.
It was they who created public opinion by harassing the people, and they told them not to care anymore.
