Chapter 43-2
That Evening.
A grand party was held in the castle.
Conrad had arranged a formal introduction for Otto.
As the king of the kingdom and the head of the esteemed Koutachi family, I formally recognize this child here as a member of our Koutachi family. Is there anyone who objects to my decision?
Conrad asked.
We approve!
We approve!
We approve!
And there was not a single person who opposed it.
Regardless of their status or rank within the Koutachi family, everyone recognized Otto as a member of the Koutachi family.
Although Otto did not change his surname to Koutachi, the fact that he had acquired the invincible emperors swordsmanship and power within the Sanctuary was enough for him to be recognized as a member of the family.
Meanwhile, Javier, who attended the party, was boiling with anger and seemed like he would go crazy.
These treachimous b**tards!
Javier clenched his fists as he watched those who had sided with Otto approach him to greet him and bow respectfully.
Nice to meet you, Young Master.
Its an honor to meet you, Young Master.
What a handsome young man you are! How did you become so good-looking? Hahaha!
Clearly, the situation had changed.
Except for a few loyalists who still supported Javier and the Kujo, almost everyone seemed to have high expectations for Otto, who had newly emerged as a candidate for succession.
And rightly so, because the Koutachi familys power had greatly weakened due to various past events.
These filthy rats You will soon realize that what you have caught is a rotten rope Remember you b**tards carefully The price for betraying me will not be small Kukukukuku!
Javier vowed to punish all the betrayers once Otto was dead tonight.
On the other hand, Otto was struggling with a hangover due to Kairos persuasion.
[Young man! How can you refuse these exquisite drinks and food in front of you?]
What! Cant you see that Im busy right now?
[Just give me 30 minutes!]
Are you crazy? Do you know how much Ive suffered from a hangover since this morning until now? I can still smell alcohol from my nostrils!
Ignoring Kairos request, Otto continued to exchange greetings with the vessels and members of the Koutachi family, trying to leave a good impression on them.
So that it will be easier for Conrad to entrust this Kutachi kingdom later to me.
Therefore, I need to behave sociably now
***
On that night.
After a successful debut(?) in the Koutachi family, Otto didnt fall asleep.
Are you going to a war or something?
Camille asked Otto, who was wearing gear.
What war? Just consider it as preparation.
What kind of preparation?
Assassination.
I see.
Javier and Kujo wont just let it slide. They might send an assassin tonight.
Then Ill prepare as well.
Thats the spirit.
Otto and Camille stayed awake late into the night, armed and ready.
Whats coming?
Otto didnt know exactly what kind of assassin Javier would send.
Javier had five patterns for assassinating Otto.
I hope its not Kruger.
Right at that moment.
-Snap!
One candle that was illuminating the room went out.
!
But that wasnt the end of it.
The lamps made of magic stones also went out one by one, making a snapping sound, plunging the entire room into darkness.
F*ck! This is bad.
Otto couldnt help but curse as he watched the objects that were supposed to provide light go out.
What is it?
The toughest opponent.
Who?
Be careful. One wrong move and youll be dead.
As soon as Otto finished speaking, pitch-black darkness descended like a black hole, shrouding the world in complete darkness.
A perfect darkness with not a single speck of light.
And within that darkness, screams started echoing and spreading.
Arggghh!
H-helpppppp!
It was the screams of the guards protecting Otto and Camilles residence.
Emergency, emergency!
Enemy attack!
Turn on the lights!
The guards tried to use magic to illuminate the darkness, but it was of no use.
They couldnt see anything.
Camille, stay close to me.
Yes.
As soon as Camille stood next to him, Otto immediately used the Clairvoyance skill of the Eye of Calypso system.
Then, Ottos eyes turned dark green.
Woooo!
The dark surroundings began to appear as a black and white screen.
The Clairvoyance skill not only allowed him to see through objects, but also allowed him to distinguish objects and terrain clearly, even in darkness, like a real night vision device.
Where is it?
While using the Clairvoyance skill, Otto was on guard against his surroundings.
Then, he noticed something faint figure approaching him through the door and pushed Camille aside.
-Swoosh!
The faint figure swung a sharp sword made of shadows.
-Clang!
Ottos sword clashed with the shadows sword.
??
The faint figure stopped in its tracks and ceased its movement.
Could it be can they see me?
