Chapter 58: Chapter 58: The Duke’s seal
What Yen said seemed to have an effect, as things continued to worsen for the Duke Family, especially for Bama, who couldn’t leave his room.
Somehow, his past crimes began resurfacing one after another.
The women he had assaulted came forward to protest.
Those who had lost their jobs because of him stepped forward.
Those who had been abused or mistreated by him in one way or another also came forward.
But it wasn’t just Bama.
The other members of the Duke Family weren’t spared either.
One by one, their past mistakes were laid bare for everyone to see.
Even the King Realm experts weren’t spared, as several noble families finally stood up against them.
Their daughters.
Their sons.
Even those who had lost their properties to the Duke Family came forward to speak.
The wrongdoings of the entire Duke Family were exposed one after another, leaving the nobles and citizens of the capital completely shocked.
Of course, the other noble families weren’t innocent either.
They all knew one or two things about each other’s misdeeds.
But at the very least, those crimes had never been publicly exposed with undeniable evidence.
And the worst part was that the Duke’s hands were tied.
He could only watch as the Duke Family slowly collapsed.
The deaths of two million people were still weighing heavily on his hands, he had no excuse.
He alone had started the war.
So what could he possibly do?
Things might have been different if he knew that the Royal Ancestor had deliberately sent his son to his death.
The seven-day period finally came to an end.
A superpower like the Duke Family had been completely broken.
The execution was only a day away.
The Duke Mansion seemed suffocated by despair, with a dreadful atmosphere hanging over the entire place.
That night...
Ronan and Yen were ready to carry out their plan.
Earlier that day, Yen had used her abilities and successfully slipped the sleeping pill into Bama’s drink.
And when Bama heard that his crimes had been exposed, he became terrified and hid inside his room.
He had no choice.
After all, he had brought shame upon the entire Duke Family.
He had always believed that his crimes would remain hidden forever.
But now, even his father couldn’t save him as all his secrets had been exposed.
Yet, to his surprise...
Even while his cousins were judging him, the Maiden actually came to see him.
And even better...
She wanted to meet him that night.
She had told him to leave his door unlocked.
How happy was Bama?
He immediately agreed.
His face lit up with excitement.
The Maiden was truly the perfect woman for him.
All his guilt and worries vanished as he eagerly waited in his room.
Night came quickly.
Ronan left his room, his expression changing as he became completely indifferent.
His eyes were filled with murderous intent as he walked toward Bama’s room.
Ronan reached out and grabbed the doorknob.
Just as he expected...
It was unlocked.
He took a deep breath before opening the door.
Inside was a room even more luxurious than his own.
The glowing lights gave the room an elegant and extravagant atmosphere.
On the bed lay a passed-out Bama.
But...
He wasn’t alone.
Two other women with attractive figures were also in the room asleep.
Ronan wasn’t particularly surprised.
He walked closer to Bama with his eyes glowing as he used his ability.
Mind Manipulation Lv.1
Effect: Can influence the minds of those below the host, subtly changing their thoughts and imposing the host’s will upon them. The changes are slow, but once established, they are difficult to break.
Afterward, Ronan left Bama behind and began searching for the Duke’s Seal.
At first, he couldn’t find it.
Bama wasn’t carrying it.
But after searching the room, Ronan eventually spotted something lying in the corner.
There it was.
The Duke’s Seal.
Ronan picked it up.
The moment his fingers touched it, a cold sensation spread through his hand.
The Seal was clearly extraordinary.
Yet Bama had simply tossed it into a corner of his room.
And even though he had been expecting the Maiden to visit him tonight...
He had two women in his room?
Perhaps they had been there since the afternoon.
Whatever.
It wasn’t Ronan’s place to judge.
He didn’t give a damn about what Bama did with his life.
What mattered was that he and yen would eventually return to the kingdom and when that happened...
Yen would have her chance to take her revenge.
Ronan left the room and hurried back to his own.
There, he found Yen waiting.
Click!
The door opened.
Ronan stepped inside.
"Master... are you okay?"
Yen asked with concern.
Ronan paused.
Wait...
She didn’t ask about the Duke’s Seal first.
She didn’t ask whether he had obtained it.
She didn’t even ask whether Bama was truly asleep.
Her first question was whether he was okay.
Wow...
Ronan had gotten himself a pretty good Blood Servant.
At this point, Ronan began wondering if he had been overthinking the possibility of Yen betraying him.
But then again...
She was an assassin.
She could simply be pretending.
"I’m fine. Thank you."
Ronan spoke as he raised his palm.
The Duke’s Seal rested in his hand.
Yen’s eyes immediately lit up with excitement.
"Relax."
"We still have to time everything carefully."
"We can’t afford to make any mistakes."
Seeing Yen’s excitement, Ronan reminded her.
"Yes, Master."
"But where exactly are we going?"
Yen couldn’t help but ask.
Ronan laughed.
"Oh... that’s quite simple."
"We’re going to the Abyss."
"Specifically..."
"The gateway to the Abyss located within Javo territory."
Ronan spoke.
Yen’s expression changed as her body trembled slightly.
She couldn’t help but gulp nervously.
Now, everything made sense.
Ronan’s constant questions about the world during the past week...
So this was his plan.
"But Master... won’t we be killed?"
Yen couldn’t help but ask.
Although she was now a Sovereign Realm expert, this was the territory of the Javo Race.
They were the very race the Duke had fought against.
The Javo Race had seven Supreme Realm experts, not to mention hundreds of King Realm experts.
And a war had already begun.
Although it was still in its early stages, the situation could explode at any moment.
For all they knew, the war might have already escalated, but because they were in the capital, they simply hadn’t heard about it yet.
"Relax."
"We’re undead, remember?"
"We aren’t human."
"As long as they know what we are, we’ll be safe after all the jova race and the Abyssal creatures are allies."
"Besides, I didn’t ask you to gather information using your abilities these past few days for nothing."
Ronan chuckled.
Yen’s eyes widened as realization dawned upon her.
While she had been exploring her abilities, she had discovered something interesting.
With her Child of the Night ability, she could travel through darkness over a distance of one hundred meters.
She couldn’t use the ability too many times consecutively, but it was more than enough to move around the capital and secretly gather information.
And now, judging from Ronan’s words...
She finally understood his plan.
They could bring the information they had gathered to the Javo Race and sell it to them.
They could even pretend to be spies from the Abyss who had infiltrated the human kingdom.
"Wow, Master..."
"Not bad."
Yen couldn’t help but say.
Ronan smiled.
Tch...
My dream of building a massive harem is finally about to begin.
