Fredrinn Firecrown: The Weakest Villain

Erevard burst into laughter upon hearing his words. "You flatter me, General Fredrinn."

Just then, he caught sight of the familiar figure standing behind Fredrinn, making his eyes stiffen with surprise. "Danielle?"

Princess Danielle reluctantly revealed herself.

"Hello, Erevard." She greeted him halfheartedly.

Erevard raised her eyebrows. "I thought you were only joking when you told me that you would head to the northern borders."

Princess Danielle laughed dryly, unable to respond.

Erevard had an exasperated look on his face. "Don't tell me you've been following General Fredrinn ever since you came here…"

"About that… I only joined a few trips."

Hearing this, Erevard shook his head and rubbed his temples. He then turned his gaze back to Fredrinn and apologetically said. "I'm sorry for the trouble she caused, General Fredrinn. It must have been hard on you."

If Fredrinn hadn't seen his future, he would have believed this guy's bullshit.

'What a two-faced piece of shit!'

Fredrinn maintained his friendly demeanor. He waved his hand and smiled. "It's no trouble at all. Her Highness was a great help to our battles. Though her contribution wasn't significant, her presence increased our soldiers' morale."

Princess Danielle blushed at his words. She knew that Fredrinn was just speaking nonsense. She had never shown her face to the soldiers during the recent battles so how was it possible for her to increase their morale?

"I see. That's comforting to hear. Thank you for keeping an eye on her, General Fredrinn. I owe you a great deal for this." Erevard cupped his fists with a grateful look. It could be seen that he truly cared for his sister.

"I just did what I had to do."

"Your Highness, let me take you to the tent we had prepared for you. We can continue our conversation there."

"Alright. Sounds good to me."

Fredrinn brought the crown prince to the tent that his soldiers had prepared for him. After all, he couldn't let the prince build his own tent.

The two chatted for a while, talking about random topics that held no significance.

"I really enjoyed talking with you, Your Highness, but I must stop our conversation here. You should get some rest for now. I will handle the arrangements of the miners." Fredrinn stood up and excused himself.

"Mn. In that case, I'll leave our miners in your care. Come and find me if you want to talk again. We will be meeting more often so we should get to know each other better." Erevard patted Fredrinn's shoulder.

"Yes, Your Highness! It will be an honor!"

"You may go. Just find me if you need anything."

Fredrinn bowed to him and left.

'He doesn't seem like a bad person so why did he collude with the Evergreen Household to kill me?'

'No! This must be part of his act to maintain the pristine image he created.'

'Dammit! I almost got fooled by him! I must be cautious the next time I speak with him.'

Fredrinn realized that Erevard was more meticulous than he had thought.

Later that evening, Fredrinn summoned the mining team leaders to discuss the mining operations with them.

"We need to find the spot with the most concentrated amount of orichalcum." One of the head miners suggested.

His opinion garnered everyone's support.

"That's a good idea! We should start mining in areas with high concentrations of orichalcum ore and send smaller teams to deal with scattered ores."

Fredrinn was no expert on this so he just quietly listened to their analysis. As long as they wouldn't touch that specific spot where the Valladium was located, everything was fine.

The meeting with the miners lasted for more than two hours. If it weren't for the safety of the Valladium ore, he wouldn't have sat through the entire meeting.

'I almost died of boredom.' Fredrinn decided to have a good sleep that night.

***

The next day, the miners began to work.

They climbed the mountain with their mining equipment, eager to start their work. The job was easy and they were paid more than twice their usual salary so they were happy to do the tasks. This inadvertently increased their efficiency.

It didn't even take them long to find the perfect spot with the highest concentration of orichalcum ore.

Luckily, the location was far from where the Valladium ore was located so Fredrinn was relieved.

On that day, he brought Cain to the hidden cave to help Nyx with the excavation of the Valladium ore.

While he was busy mining some pieces of Valladium ore, he suddenly recalled that he still had one more Void Breaking Pill in his storage space.

Thinking about this, Fredrin took out the pill and thought deeply.

'Hmm… How should I deal with this thing?'

This pill could help someone advance to the Void Tempering realm so he couldn't use it on someone he couldn't trust.

The first person that came to his mind was Bernard.

However, an idea suddenly occurred to him.

'Can I use this on magical beasts?'

Fredrinn was in possession of a legendary flute that could summon a large herd of Sword Horned Carnivorous Unicorns and one of them was a 10th layer Nascent Soul magical beast!

'Should I try it?' Fredrinn hesitated.

If it didn't work, his Void Breaking Pill would be wasted, but if it worked, he would gain another magical beast at the Void Tempering realm!

After some internal struggle, Fredrinn took a deep breath and made a decision. "Let's do it!"

He took out the Flute of the Beast Whisperer and played a melody.

The soothing sound of the flute echoed within the cave, making Nyx and Cain who were busy with mining stop for a moment to listen to the music.

Meanwhile, a rift appeared in front of Fredrinn and one unicorn after another stepped out of the cave.

"Hold on! I'm not looking for you guys! Go back to the rift! I only want your boss! Bring him to me!" Fredrinn shouted at the unicorns in displeasure.

The Sword Horned Carnivorous Unicorns were smart and they were quick to understand his intentions.

A moment later, a much larger unicorn came out from the rift.

Seeing it appear, Fredrinn smiled lightly.

"Come here. I have something good for you."
