I Screwed the Novel's Plot

Chapter 91 Ch. 91: The Bet [1]



"I greet Your Highness the First Prince."

Leticia curtseyed. Damian thought that it wasn't necessary to greet him in a situation like this.

"You may raise Lady Leticia."

She straightened her back and smiled.

"I heard, you will soon become my sister-in-law, is that true?"

"Y–yes."

Rosy color dyed her cheeks as she blushed and Damian's lips quivered with annoyance.

'This bastard! He didn't feel like teasing me enough, so he teased Leticia.'

Annoyed, Damian immediately grabbed Leticia's hand and walked forward.

"Let's go."

"Ah, Ian is jealous."

He abruptly stops.

'For goodness sake, this bastard.'

The white-haired boy could feel how the urge to punch his brother in the face skyrocketed. He turned to him and–

"Here."

Alexander threw something at Damian. He let go of Leticia's hand and caught it.

He opened his hand to see what it was and a bracelet with two blue beads came into view, it was his Telespere.

He checked its content and surprisingly nothing was missing, even the pouch of gold coins given by Alexander was still there!

Upon seeing it, he couldn't help but bloom with a smile, and anger dissipated into thin air. He felt so happy today.

"Thanks."

He put the Telesphere back on his wrist and asked Alexander.

"Where did you get this? It was stolen by the kidnapper."

"I took it back."

"I see. Thanks."

"You're welcome. Also, let's get moving and you could dismiss your wisp."

One of his white eyebrows raised.

"Why?"

"Your Mana is already low, I will replace you."

"I understand. Thanks again?"

Alexander shrugged and created a wisp of fire above them, then continued their way.

As they ran, Alexander activated his Telesphere to call Chislon, and shortly after, it connected.

// Your Highness, how may I help you? //

"I have found Damian and Lady Leticia."

// Then I will send a signal for the Knights and the others to rush over here. //

"Very well. Ah, also, can you track us? We're looking for the quickest way out."

// I understand, I will contact Your Highness soon. //

"Alright. Thanks."

The call ended and Alexander turned to his brother.

"Reinforcement is coming."

"I see. It's good."

Only.

"Kiieeekkk!!"

Monsters shrieks were heard from behind and Alexander spoke.

"Let's move faster."

Damian nodded and quickened our pace. As he remembered something, he immediately asked.

"By the way, how many days has it been since I was kidnapped?"

"It has been 30 hours, so 2 days and 1 night?"

"Then we should get moving because we don't have much time."

"What is it?"

"I met that red woman, Annelise."

"What?! You met her?! When?!"

The moment Damian was ready to answer, a Chimera's scream cut him.

"Kkiiieeekkk!!"

"Keep moving."

Alexander ordered and he dashed to the monster behind them. He raised his sword and swung it at its chest.

–Splash!

Blood splattered on his face and clothes. He lifted his sight and two Chimeras were seen running.

Alexander extended his left hand and shot two wind bullets and their chest exploded.

–Splash! –Splash!

Seeing no more monsters coming, Alexander began to run, and once he arrived next to Damian, he spoke.

"Continue."

Damian nodded and explained.

"She visited me and said that she hasn't given up on igniting the war between the Empire and Yovanny."

"That bitc–"

"Ahem!"

Damian let out a fake cough to cut in and pointed his chin toward Leticia, implying that he should pay attention to the way he speaks in the presence of a small child.

Leticia tilted her head in confusion, regardless, Alexander began again.

"Did she think about…"

"Yes. Her objective is likely that, but more importantly, we must ensure that we follow the same route as the convoy."

There was a brief silence and Alexander responded.

"The shortest route is they dock at the Northwest Naval Base and head south to Gilmore territory, estimated around 4 to 5 days to arrive at the Capital."

"Then we only have 2 to 3 days left before she launches the attack."

Alexander gritted his teeth as he realized that too little time, he suggested.

"We could use the Supreme Blink Sphere in Duke Gustav's mansion to teleport to Marquis Gilmore's estate."

"To reach Northwest Naval Base we need 2 to 3 days on horseback. But it's too early to give up, right? Let's just hope that we're not too late."

"Alright, then it settled."

"Kkiieekkk!!"

"Kkiieekkk!!"

The screeching of Chimeras from both sides pricked their ears. Alexander moved forward and said.

"I will take care of the front."

Damian nodded and responded.

"Then I will take care of the rear."

He turned to Leticia.

"Stay behind me and don't use your power, do you understand?"

"But, I will be useless–"

"Just listen to me."

And with that, Damian ran to the rear.

The sea of Chimera was seen sprinting toward them at the forefront.

Alexander channeled his Mana to the sword and soon, Magic Circle followed by faint light emitted from the blade.

His sword shook and wasting no more time, Alexander swung his blade toward the Chimeras.

–Whoosh!

An arc of light was created in the air and passed through them at an incredible speed and in the next second, the monster stopped moving.

Soon, their body parts slid and fell until nothing was left.

–Splash! –Splash! –Splash!

'See? It ends in a split second if Mana is available.'

Although a quarter of his Mana vanished just to unleash a single technique, it was worth it.

He turned to Damian and he was seen shooting the Chimera with his Wind Elemental.

Magic Circle spun on his extended arm and several wind bullets flew and pierced through their chest and fireworks of black blood occurred.

–Splash! –Splash! –Splash!

One by one they started falling into the water and their corpses were stepped on by the other Chimera.

Seeing that they were coming closer, Damian ready his sword, however, a shadow jumped toward him and said.

"Cover me from the rear."

Alexander landed in front of the Chimeras and drew a horizontal crescent of light.

"Kkiieekkk!!"

–Splash! –Splash! –Splash!

Dozens of Chimeras fell and a new wave of them surged from behind.

Alexander fearlessly rushed to them and swung his sword left and right.

Damian could only be mesmerized by Alexander's actions before his eyes.

As expected of the main character of this world, each of his attacks dealt critical damage to the monster and all of his strikes were on target.

He didn't make exaggerated and unnecessary movements like brandishing or spinning his sword as he saw in anime and movies.

'Well, that's the difference between reality and fiction.'

Damian looked up as his blue eyes caught the two Chimeras leaping towards Alexander, and he immediately shot wind bullets at each one.

"Kkkkiieekkk!!

They shrieked and fell.

–Splash! –Splash!

Another was seen rushing to Alexander's blind spot and Damian shot its chest and black blood splattered everywhere as it exploded.

–Splash!

And after half an hour, the fight was over.

Alexander wiped the sweat dripping down his chin with the back of his hand, then turned to Damian.

"Let's go."

With that, they continued their way. Sometimes Chimera would show up but not as many as before and they take care of them without difficulty.

As they were running, Damian asked.

"By the way, who are we going to take? It can't be just us, right?"

"Do you have someone in mind?"

"How about Sir Ulrich? Also, it would be better if we could bring a squad or a platoon. I know it sounds excessive but we must prepare for the worst-case scenario."

"I agree. Then you don't have to worry about it. I'll take care of it."

"Alright, I'm counting on you."

Soon, Alexander called requesting twenty to forty cavalrymen to be ready at the entrance of Axton City and two additional horses in front of Marquis Gilmore's mansion.

Damian had a hunch that Alexander was using his mercenaries. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to gather that many people in a matter of minutes.

"It's done."

"Very well."

A few minutes later, Alexander received a call from Chislon. Damian did ask about Ulrich's whereabouts but he said that Ulrich had followed the Knights inside the dungeon.

Thus, they had no choice but to kick Ulrich out of their options. After that, the Count guided them to the nearest exit.

They followed him and several Knights were seen waiting for them. They instantly ran towards them.

"I greet–"

"Do you have a teleportation magic paper?"

Alexander cut in, as they were against time.

"Y-yes we have."

"Please teleport us to Duke Gustav's mansion."

Afterward, they were transported into the mansion and rushed to the Supreme Blink Sphere.

"Please wait!"

Damian and Alexander turned their head to the voice and Leticia was seen running toward them.

"Deal with her."

Alexander decided to enter and wait inside the room.

Leticia stopped in front of Damian with her haggard breath.

"W–we will meet again, right?"

"Yes. Goodbye."

Damian spun around but she yanked his forearm and landed a kiss on his cheeks then ran away.

Damian's azure eyes widened and his face turned red like a tomato.

"What did she–"
