Chapter 44-2
Ugh!
Otto woke up from his sleep.
Your Majesty! Are you alright?
Camille exclaimed in surprise.
Imahugh.
Otto groaned in pain, trying to sit up.
He realized that the wounds he had received from Kruger in his dream were still present and bleeding, the bleeding not yet fully stopped.
Your Majesty, you need to rest. If you move, your wounds will reopen.
Camille helped Otto lie back down on the bed.
Camille is right. You shouldnt push yourself too hard right now.
Turning his head, he saw Conrad also standing guard by the bed where Otto had been sleeping.
Conrad had rushed over immediately upon hearing the report of the incident, concerned for Ottos safety.
Of course, Thanks to Otto being dragged into a dream by Kruger, Conrad hadnt been able to help much.
What happened?
There was an assassination attempt. Thats all.
Assassination?
Conrad gave a cold smile.
This Javier bastard dared to?
Conrad was convinced that Javier was behind this incident.
Although there was no concrete evidence, the only person who would try to assassinate Otto within the Koutachi clan was Javier.
For nowhmm!
Otto forced himself to sit up.
We need to move right away.
What are you talking about? What can you do in that condition?
Purge, the sooner the better.
Purge?
Arent they the ones we need to get rid of anyway?
Of course they are, but.
Do it now. Dragging it out will only make it more troublesome.
We dont have justification to deal with them without any evidence
Grandfathers will is the evidence and justification. Investigating the incident and finding evidence will only give Javier and Kujo more time to plot another conspiracy.
.!
Right now, Javier and Kujo are certainly not expecting Grandfather to begin Purge. This is our chance. Its the best opportunity we have to eliminate them cleanly.
Hoo!
Such quick judgment, decisiveness, and boldness!
Hes planning to stab him in the back What a frightening strategy.
Conrad was once again surprised at the fact that Otto had a superior brain than he had thought.
Now, theres a successor for Grandfather.
I havent said that Im going to make you the successor yet.
I have the invincible emperors swordsmanship and power in my hands. Who else but me can become the great Koutachi familys successor? I promise you, the Koutachi family will regain its past glory because of me.
Interesting.
Conrad glared at Otto with a terrifying look.
Indeed, youre my grandson. Ahem! Of course! If youre Conrads grandson, you should have that kind of ambition!
Please make the decision.
Fine.
Conrad smiled.
Ill lead my troops to attack Javier and Cuzo right now.
You have made a wise decision.
Otto smiled.
***
The report should come in by now
Javier couldnt sleep until dawn and was pacing around the room.
He had sent Kruger to take care of things, and he was hoping to hear news of Ottos death so he could finally relax and sleep peacefully.
Father W-what if it was a failure?
Kujo, who had also been waiting anxiously for news, asked while still awake.
What nonsense are you talking about? How could that brat defeat the specter of death? Only a strong warriors like Conrad can overcome the spirit of death. Its impossible otherwise!
But but he is he is the demon himself, wearing the skin of a human, from hell
Kujo still misunderstood Ottos true identity as Kairos and was plagued with fear.
Shut up! If you have nothing useful to say, go to sleep! When you wake up, good news of that damn guys death will be waiting for you
Suddenly, there was a loud noise, like an earthquake, and the mansion shook violently.
Ahh!
Aaaaaaagh!
Then, the screams of the guards outside the mansion could be heard.
What the hell is going on WTF
Javier ran to the window to see what was happening and was shocked by what he saw.
The army of the Koutachi Kingdom was pushing into the mansion of Javier and Kujo.
And Otto was in the middle of it all.
Wrapped in bandages stained with blood, Otto walked confidently with his head held high.
Behind him, a black cloak with the emblem of the Koutachi family fluttered.
I, Otto de Scuderia, the prince and heir of the Koutachi Kingdom and grandson of Conrad von Koutachi, give orders in his place. Execute these rebels.
Otto ordered in a low, heavy voice.
Punish those traitors.
At that moment, the soldiers of the Koutachi Kingdom began to charge towards the mansion where Javier and Kujo lived.
