The Deeds Of An Extremely Arrogant Villain Aristocrat

Chapter 51: Chaos Comes with Thunder



Chapter 51: Chaos Comes with Thunder

One of the drawbacks of this profession is that there isnt just one person above you, meaning you dont only obey one person.

I wonder what that means. Edmond, can you explain?

Yes, Your Highness Porupon.

Ugh my stomach hurts

Its not just the king.

Even the prince. If he gives an order, of course I have to obey too.

But heres the problem.

Lets say you receive instructions from two or more people regarding the same matter, and those instructions are completely contradictory. What should you do then?

Well the heir of the Gilbert family has made a contract with an elemental dragon, but I assume you already knew that

Of course, I know. Truly, Luke is so amazing. But why isnt there a celebration party for that at the royal castle? Its unbelievable.

King Mengis tends to prioritize maintaining the dignity of the king as a king rather than practical benefits.

Crown Prince Alexdra doesnt show much interest in domestic affairs either, given his position as the head of the First Mage Division.

In that sense, Second Prince Porupon might be the most sensible one. He seems to have a correct understanding of the current state of the kingdom.

His Majesty is not pleased with the fact that the power of the noble factions is rapidly growing. Thats why he made this decision

Well, then, all the more reason to hold the celebration, dont you think? Its a good opportunity to show the dignity of the king as a king.

Um, I also think so. But please dont say that to me. I would really appreciate it if you didnt make such comments to me.

Well, it would be cruel to say such things to you. Im sorry.

No, I apologize.

So, for Lukes celebration, I was thinking of secretly going there myself.

Huh?

Actually, Ive already informed the Deputy Commander of the Second Magic Division. The arrangements are all set. Edmond, I expect you to come as well.

I see I see.uhhuh?

Honestly, I think Im pretty good at memorizing things. Ive always managed to handle things smoothly and efficiently, just skirting the line where I wont be criticized I dont think Im bad at grasping the essentials either.

But at this moment, I couldnt understand a single thing Prince Porupon had said with that smile.

In the midst of an indescribable silence, I could clearly hear the sound of my brain short-circuiting

From the perspective of commoners, being a noble is something to be envied. However, there are times when it feels suffocating.

This time is no exception. If I werent a noble, there would have been no celebration for me conquering the attribute dragon.

Honestly, its troublesome.

Oh well.

Its still bothersome, but its for the prosperity of my father, mother, and ultimately the Gilbert family.

Nevertheless, for now, I prioritize improving my own strength and ugh, its a bit cold.

Did you say something, Master Luke?

Dont mind it.

I see Um, still, this feels off

Get used to it.

Yes.

I am currently on the back of Dia, flying through the sky.

Dia seems to have a habit of collecting treasures, and it all started when she said she wanted to return to her nest to present the treasures she has gathered so far. It was a good opportunity for me to test the new magic I developed, and riding on Dias back was just an added bonus.

Dragon Armor of Darkness.

If I were to describe this magic concisely, its Dias armor. If I can master it, it should greatly enhance Dias abilities but it seems it will take some time getting used to it.

After all, I created the magic in the first place because Dia seemed to be uncomfortable to ride on.

There are many interesting things here. Dont drop them, okay?

Of course not!

The treasures have already been collected.

Now its time to return to Gilbadia Its still cold. This aspect needs improvement

Honestly, I have too many things I want to do, its troublesome. I should start analyzing this thing seriously soon.

I took out a magical tool from my pocket. Its a beautiful flute. Yes, its a magical tool that once held the immense power to control Dia, albeit imperfectly.

The Flute of Domination

It miraculously remained intact, so I kept it. It was a good find.

I activate my info magic and try to analyze it briefly.

Multiple layers of defensive magic. Even I, with all my power, cant casually approach it. Kuku, very cautious indeed.

Of course, I cant use it, and if I try to undo the magic on this flute recklessly, it will self-destruct.

Therefore, I cant use dark magic carelessly. But well, given enough time, I will definitely undo it and prove it.

If I have enough time, that is.

Good grief, I feel down just thinking about having to entertain those indifferent nobles at parties and such. Only a few more days of endurance left. If theyre fast, they should be arriving at my territory soon.

I can see it, were almost there!

Ah.

As I was contemplating such things, the city of Gilbadia came into view. In the beginning, there was always a commotion whenever Dia flew in the sky, but the people of my territory had already gotten used to it.

For now, I descended with my treasure into the backyard of my mansion.

Then Dia was enveloped in a magical light, and her massive body transformed into something smaller.

I must say, Im quite impressed with myself!

Yeah, youve really gathered an impressive treasure.

Im glad you think so! Um can I go treasure hunting again when I have free time? Im embarrassed to admit it, but I cant get enough of treasures

Its fine. Just dont damage my name, okay?

I-I understand ahaha.

If you understand, then hmm?

At that moment, I sensed a strong presence of magic.

Who could it be?

And Dia seemed to have sensed it too, as she followed the presence, which seemed to lead to the gates of my mansion.

Naturally, we headed there and saw it.

Hou

A magic circle appeared suddenly, followed by a magnificent carriage that appeared out of thin air.

On the carriage was the crest of the Godwin family.

I quickly understood.

This is Spatial Magic.

Its been a while, Luke.

Kuku thats right, Eleanora.

The woman who appeared from the carriage was my childhood friend or so the setting goes. Shes still as big as ever in many ways.

Most likely, this magic is hers. Space magic Kuku, its truly magnificent, isnt it?

Following Eleanora, Marquis Godwin stepped down from the carriage.

Is this thing the Ice Dragon?

He asked quietly.

This thing you say? A mere human, you dare mogya!

Yes, thats correct, Lord Godwin. Im sorry to admit that she lacks manners.

Marquis Godwin narrowed his eyes at me as I held Dias mouth shut for a few seconds.

I apologize for my rudeness.

Though he didnt physically bow, his eyes did convey a sincere apology.

Kuku, what could it be?

Father, may I speak with Luke for a moment?

Ah, fine, but make it brief.

Understood.

Once again, Marquis Godwin stared at me for a few seconds before walking away and entering his private residence.

Its been a long time, Luke.

Yeah.

By the way, this thing

Hey, dont get carried away with your arrogance, human.

Instantly, an overwhelming amount of mana leaked from Dia. The low boiling point of this womans temper really annoys me. Well, I guess it cant be helped, considering this has been her temperament for years.

Listen, Ill only say this once. Dont embarrass me.

H-hiii

But as my familiar, it doesnt really matter to me.

There wont be a next time. Got it?

Y-yes

So, Ele hey, whats wrong?

Luke, did you really defeat such a powerful monster?

Huh? Ah, yeah, I did.

Why is she bringing this up now?

Wait, was this the first time Eleanora saw Dia? Certainly, Dia is a fairly powerful monster, but

Kufu, kufufufu, as expected, my eyes didnt deceive me!

Shivers ran down my spine as Eleanora started laughing in a strange way, and my trouble detector went off like crazy.

Well, actually, Luke I have a dream

Wait, I dont want to hear it. Dont talk.

Its a bit embarrassing, but W-will you listen to me?

You should listen to me too. I told you I dont want to hear it.

I see! Will you listen to my dream then?

Hey, I said I dont want to

That I want to be overwhelmed by an overwhelmingly powerful man, even if I give it my all!! I just want to be reminded that Im nothing but a weak woman!

What in the world is triggering this?

Why is this womans eyes sparkling like that?

And whats with this desire that seems to mix the instincts of a battle maniac and a m*******t? Shes definitely not just a variation of Alice. This pervert.

Alice, Dia, Eleonora Why are there so many of them around me like this?

I felt a strong dizziness.

But Im too strong Before I knew it, I had become the top at the academy. Even though I was in despair And yet, I finally found you! Lets fight right now, Luke! Here and now, with all our might!

What are you talking about

Just as I was about to express my shuddering disgust on my face without hiding it, a thunderclap roared overhead.

What now?

I felt a dreadful premonition as I slowly looked up at the sky. And then, I saw it a mysterious sight of lightning soaring through the sky. Indeed, lightning is supposed to strike down, but as I thought about it, the lightning changed its direction at a right angle and struck down. Right near me. Emitting the familiar presence of magic power.

Ehehe Its been a while, Luke. Ive comeeh Whos this girl?

Mia suddenly appeared alone, without any context.

Compared to Eleonora, her body seemed much smaller.

And yet, her overwhelming magic power seemed to counter that. 

And her eyes were dark and murky.

In an instant, my brain was filled with an unimaginable amount of thoughts that surged through my mind.

Overwhelming why?, filled my mind.

And then, I could only utter one word

Eh.
