Chapter 39-1
Chapter 39-1
Around the time Otto had just finished training in the Invincible Sword Technique
So, after being a complete failure for a few years did he suddenly change as a person?
It seems like he wandered for a while.
Even when Conrad asked, knowing all about Ottos past deeds, Camille held his tongue.
A knight, however insolent Otto may be, cannot speak ill of his lord.
As expected
Conrad nodded as Camille told him how Otto had changed and how talented he was now.
You cant hide talent, can you?
Yes?
Whether I like it or not, he is the one who inherits my bloodline. The bloodline of our Koutachi family.
Ah!
He might have been lost for a while under a curse, but it seems like hes regained his senses.
Conrad believed that Otto had become such a talented young king because of his bloodline.
The Koutachi family was a prestigious family with a history of over 1,000 years, so Conrad felt great pride in his bloodline.
Of course, in recent decades, they had fallen far short of their former glory
I agree with Your Highnesss opinion.
Camille was persuaded by Conrads logic.
Why? Because even Camille couldnt understand Ottos dramatic change.
How could a person change so dramatically overnight and show such remarkable talent?
Although Camille didnt care much about bloodlines. It was an exception when it came to Otto.
It seems like blood cannot be deceived after all.
Right, thats true.
A faint smile crossed Conrads lips.
Where will the blood of the great Koutachi family go? Eventually, it will all be revealed.
Yes, Your Highness.
Thanks for listening.
Conrad seemed quite satisfied with his conversation with Camille.
For Conrad, Otto was like a lifeline from heaven.
As a direct descendant without an heir, Conrad had to designate Kujo, the son of Javier, as his successor.
But if Kujo became the next duke, Conrads old age would become miserable, and there was no doubt that Javier would not leave Conrad alone.
Thats why Conrad had postponed designating a successor, but even that had reached its limit.
Conrad was now old that if he didnt designate a successor, the Koutachi family and the vassals would not sit still.
But things had changed since Otto had suddenly appeared and opened the Sanctuary.
If Otto showed a little more ability, he had enough reason to be designated as the next successor, having contributed to the opening of the Sanctuary.
Its almost like a prophecy Hes born with a talent for at least one thing. The disadvantage is that hes weak, but thats partly because of the curse and its also likely that he didnt receive a good education from a young age. If the one who inherits my blood is that guy, hell show exceptional talent in swordsmanship and magic.
Thanks to Camilles hard work(?), Conrads evaluation of Otto was quite positive.
After hearing the information gathered and Camilles testimony, it was clear that Otto was by no means an ordinary person.
If he were to gain the power of the Invincible Emperor in the Sanctuary and become a Magic Swordsman by learning swordsmanship and magic later he would be a perfect successor to me.
Conrad had already designated Otto as his successor.
Since Conrads old age was in Ottos hands, he had no choice but to support Otto in order to survive.
***
What nonsense is this? Five years? said with confusion by Otto, who did not understand Kairos words.
[Yes, five years.]
Huh?
[You have trained with that metalhead guy here for five years.]
Thats ridiculous. It must be five days. What five years?
[Its true.]
?
[There is clearly some kind of magic in this hall. You have been endlessly recovering here. You trained for five years without eating or sleeping. You didnt even take a break for a moment. You didnt even pee or poop.]
Thats me?
[You trained for five years, so you were able to successfully attack that metalhead guy. Its impossible to do that in just five days.]
Wait a minute!
Otto asked Akan to conform, Um How long have I been training here?
Im not sure exactly, but it should be about five years.
H-huh?!
But dont worry. This hall is a special place set aside for those who enter the Sanctuary. Even if a year passes here, only a day will have passed outside.
Really?
You can trust me.
Although Akan said so, Otto couldnt believe his words.
So he hurriedly ran out of the Sanctuary and stuck his head out.
