Swordmaster’s Youngest Son Chapter 511

Chapter 511

Episode 141. fall (4)

* * *

Luna’s abdication of the throne, Jin’s declaration of family lordship, and Joshua’s downfall. Of all the particularly bold events of the present generation, this one has by far been the most shocking to the family.

No one expected Joshua to fall like this.

He was always the next head of household after Luna gave up the throne, and behind that was Rosa’s strong support and favoritism.

But Rosa herself ended Joshua. And that too, in a vicious way to trample on one’s pride in front of everyone and to lose one’s honor.

“Ha, it’s refreshing. I mean, it’s kind of embarrassing. I’m not the kind of person to go that easy… … Well, whatever my intentions were, in the end, I sabotaged an important mission, and if you think of it as the price of losing the two black knights, it makes no sense.”

Pong, little bitch… … .

Difus’ eyes were blank as he spoke while refilling his glass. Ever since she was little, she had been looking forward to the day Joshua would fall, but when she finally confirmed this kind of ending, instead of blood, she felt an unpleasant sense of futility running through her veins.

The sore throat did not soothe, even after pouring poisonous liquor, which ordinary people would not be able to drink even one sip of.

In fact, he had not only hatred for Joshua, but also affection. It was not such a lukewarm heart.

The regret of not having been able to deal with his nemesis with his own hands, and the feeling of powerlessness over the fact that a single word from his mother was incomparably heavier than the authority and fighting spirit he had maintained as a high-ranking rider.

Such things were making Difus suffer.

“By the way, maknae, you were too. If you knew he was a clone, why don’t you give me a hint? no no… … I must have been stupid for not knowing until now. From the time you teased that wicked tongue to kill him together in the barracks in the desert of Sota, I thought there might be something.”

“From before on, I spoke alone and answered alone. There are no drunkards, brother. If Sister Mary had been there, she would have heard a voice.”

“He would have understood me. Try depriving yourself of the prey you’ve been aiming for for decades, whether or not you turn inside out.”

At those words, Jin quietly smiled coldly.

28 years in the previous life, 20 years in the present life, 48 years in total. Jin’s biggest enemy has changed twice over the past half a century.

In his previous life, his family, Runcandel, was close to his greatest enemy, and in his current life, he went through various incidents and came to face Jiple as Runkandel.

But enemies and foes are different concepts. The person Jin holds the greatest personal grudge has never changed since he learned the inside story of the curse.

‘Joshua Runkandel… … .’

So Jin was also deprived of his prey, and there was no way he wouldn’t be upset. On the contrary, she was barely suppressing her empty heart even more than Dipus.

The reason was no different.

“I don’t think it will end like this.”

“I’d rather feel less dirty that way, but this time it’s definitely over. It couldn’t have been, but it wouldn’t happen if her mother forgave her. Who would follow Joshua again after seeing him stammering and shaking his legs? This is something that cannot happen in other samurai families, but this is Runkandel.”

Jindo received the liquor offered by Deepus and poured five or six glasses down his throat in succession.

“Come to think of it, isn’t that a bit strange?”

“what?”

“If his mother had formally referred Joshua to the family trial and ordered the truth about the mission, he might not have fallen so vainly. Even if he had shared the information from the beginning, it might not have been possible to save both of the black knights as long as there was a variable called Hedo.”

Tower Keeper of the White Nights, Hedo.

After the mission report, Jin and Difus had not yet heard any information about him from Rosa and the Council of Elders.

It was unknown whether it was because Rosa and the Council of Elders did not know him, or if there was another reason. I can only guess that the latter is much more likely.

“If I did that, my mother could have made me and my older brother fall in reverse. The chief officer is Joshua, but we also have responsibilities as standard bearers, and even though he is a clone, in the end, he unleashed a volcano for the family.”

“If that’s the case, Joshua’s strange arrangement of us getting help from Sandra Ziple could lead you to be a traitor. There is also a relationship between you and Beradin Ziple.”

“I don’t think my mother didn’t know what we could think of either. No, you must know. And her mother’s goal was always to make Joshua head of the household, and now she’s decided the exact opposite.”

“In the end, even my mother must have approved of it. That guy is not the lumber of the family head. I don’t know why you just realized it now. Damn, to be so frightened that even dragged the knights around and showed such an asshole… … If it were me, he would have cut his throat on the spot.”

While Difus continued to drink alcohol nervously, Jin wondered why Rosa attacked Joshua and not them.

end.

Difus was not wrong. No one who saw Joshua’s humble appearance yesterday will ever be able to acknowledge and follow him again.

Suddenly.

A new assumption popped into Jin’s mind.

“prophet.”

“what?”

“By the power of the Prophet and black magic… … What if Joshua’s mind was manipulated?”

“Can that be? Joshua, who stuttered yesterday, was the image of being trampled on by his father and older sister in the middle of his childhood. That was the essence of Joshua.”

“I know. I really don’t think the Prophet manipulated Joshua’s mind. However, if her mother insists on doing so and reinstates Joshua… … What do you think?”

Tak, Difus put down his glass.

The Prophet, he used unknown powers to give decisive help to this mission, and he has also helped Joshua and his family with their missions.

Also created a clone of Joshua.

The true identity of the Prophet has not yet been revealed, but everyone in Runkandel now knows what he has done and his existence itself.

Some will argue that it is against the law and that the Prophet must be expelled, some will say that it is necessary to stand up to enemies, and some will remain neutral and silent.

But they all have to admit one thing. That Joshua’s Prophet truly has divine powers.

-i get it. So what’s the third? Aside from how to kill the Second Horseman, what is the purpose? What benefit does the death of the Second Horseman bring to the family?

-It feels like you are getting your exam papers graded, second brother. What are the benefits to the family? This is your chance to sever the rotten links of favoritism and purify your family. Even if you kill Joshua, the Prophet will still belong to your mother, so you can decide what to do with his powers then.

A conversation between Jin and Difus in Sota Desert.

Not only Rosa, but also Dipus thought that the power of a prophet should be used for the sake of the family. Both to find the legacy of the first family head and to slaughter the enemies.

That thought was further solidified by what he saw and experienced during this mission.

A flying fleet of over a hundred ships, Hedo, and an unknown demon who crippled the black knight Mon. Although only a part of the power hidden by the enemies must have been revealed, it far exceeded the riders’ imagination.

“Mother will never give up her prophetic powers. The reason she brought Joshua down this time was… … Maybe it’s a warning to the prophet. If the relationship between mother and prophet is not as close as that of Joshua, it is possible.”

“So you mean, mother is going to put the Prophet in bondage and later put everything on him and restore Joshua’s rights, are you?”

“More than that, Mother once again reestablished your authority by bringing Joshua down. This will erase the blemishes from the Exiled Case. Because he showed a platform that directly defeated the second rider he supported so much. Whatever the inside story, the members of the family will inevitably fear their mother even more in the future.”

“After raising your power to the limit, bring Joshua back to the surface and hand over all power… … All sins and justifications are borne by the prophet.”

There was silence for a moment.

The two of them didn’t fill their glasses anymore.

“… … That’s not unlikely. No, it’s pretty high. If only Joshua at the time of his restoration could show a completely different look, strong enough to make anyone think that the reason he was lacking was because of the Prophet’s manipulation of his mind.”

If Joshua at that point was given the power to ruthlessly purge all those he had doubts about, Rosa would take over, and his own armed forces would become the strongest in name and reality.

Joshua’s reinstatement was possible.

“There is one more thing.”

“Are there more?”

“Do you know how the Prophet creates a clone of Joshua?”

-Do you know how the woman clones Joshua?

– I only know that I need a lot of humans.

-… … what?

-Looks like he’s using Hufester’s death row inmates. If you send them to the Prophet, a new body will be created… … Kyung mainly used that body to deal with people like me. For the purpose of strengthening one’s prospective contractors and directly subduing them when they run out of control.

After killing Joshua’s clone for the first time in the Blue Bird Islands, Jin heard from Yulian that the Prophet uses humans as material.

Afterwards, he happened to hear from Emma about the strange executions taking place in Riccarton, and was tracking down the related details. Right after the Black Dynasty incident ended, I sent the Dark Knight Dox there.

“Humans are used as ingredients. A lot of people. This is the information I got from catching his direct subordinate hound when I was a reserve jockey.”

“under. If that’s true, he’ll have to pay a bigger penalty… … .”

“But Joshua is already in the dungeon. I can’t dig any more. At least officially. Who would dare to insist on further trampling on Joshua, who was dragged down by her mother herself? They say I have witnesses, but there is no hard evidence yet. Even I can’t claim it.”

Difus felt as if a cool breeze was passing over his back.

My senses, blunted by the solo drink, stood up sharply, and goose bumps appeared on the back of my neck.

‘According to the youngest… … Joshua’s fall is just her mother’s successful ploy… … !’

Of course, all of this was hypothetical.

But as sons, the two of them who knew a human named Rosa Runcandel… … I had a hunch that the assumption would be very close to the truth.

“So this is not the time to soothe a sore throat with alcohol. The fight is only just beginning.”
