Swordmaster's Youngest Son

Chapter 594

C594

There was not a single member of the Family who was in a position to “report” to Cyron and Rosa.

Rosa didn’t get angry with Jin, who said he would leave again as soon as he arrived.

On the contrary, she felt some anticipation towards his confident attitude.

She even saw Luna’s figure in Jin.

Luna also unilaterally informed the Family that she would resign from her position as the next patriarch.

However, Luna reported that she was resigning as patriarch, and Jin did the opposite.

From Rosa’s point of view, everything Jin did was solely to swallow up the Family.

“Now that you’ve just returned, you tell something interesting as soon as you see this mother. You must know how bad the Family is at the moment. It seems like you lack a bit of awareness as a Flagbearer.”

Contrary to the tone of the words, it wasn’t a sarcastic tone. Jin responded with a slight smile.

“During this time, I received intensive healing in the Holy Kingdom, and I discovered the use and the maker of the items obtained in the Sota Desert.”

“What did you find out?”

“As the Prophet said, it was an item that could change the course of the war. The machine is a key piece of the teleportation device.”

Jin deliberately said it was a teleportation device, not a space-time device.

The two seemed to have similar but clearly different concepts, and there was no need to share them all with Rosa.

“It’s information you obtained through Aria Histor.”

Rosa wasn’t surprised by Rosa’s confident voice.

Having Valeria with him was no more than public knowledge among the major factions.

“That’s right.”

Capturing Valeria and taking her to the Garden of Swords was an ongoing mission for the Flagbearers.

Rosa also didn’t react differently to that.

By knocking down Joshua, Rosa had already allowed Jin a certain degree of freedom.

Jin wasn’t crossing the line she had set.

“The creator of that item is Lokia Ganesto, one of the ten great knights of ancient Runcandel.”

“…… Lokia Ganesto?”

“Yes. Lokia Ganesto fell into oblivion due to Zipple’s manipulation of history a thousand years ago. But just as the curse of the Family has been lifted as Zipple’s power has weakened this time, the history of ancient Runcandel, which was destroyed by them, is being gradually revealed.”

Ganesto.

Rosa knew that name long before the power of history began to fade.

“According to what you said, teleportation devices and battleship construction were already millennia-old technology, and our Family lost them to Zipple at some point.”

“Are there no records related to that in our Family?”

“There are none. Even if there were, the records about when the items were lost lack meaning, and if there were records that informed about how to use them immediately, you would have had to attribute them to the Family immediately.”

What was important to Rosa was immediate victory and survival, not the discovery of lost history.

Jin believed that they could never win without restoring the glory of ancient Runcandel, but Rosa didn’t share that belief.

“The item is still in an unusable state.”

“Then, how much longer do you need?”

“I don’t know. The reason I leave the human world is to complete things with the help of my brothers.”

The reason Jin wanted to leave for Lafrarosa wasn’t just for his personal training.

A flying battleship using a Light Heart as its power source.

Upon seeing Zipple’s mass-produced fleet in the Sota Desert for the first time, Jin dreamed of something like that.

If only the master and Qwaul could complete the space-time device and use it to summon my brothers from the human world.

‘It wouldn’t just be a foolish story.’

In theory, it was possible, as Qwaul had already assured him while looking at the Light Heart on Jin’s chest.

“Although it takes time, can it be completed with the help of the Tribe of Legends?”

“I can’t guarantee it.”

“Still, I don’t know, I can’t guarantee it. You keep saying things that don’t suit you. Granting you autonomy doesn’t mean you can say whatever you want.”

“It won’t be different from the acting matriarch suspending judgment on whether it would be better to negotiate with the Prophet instead of me. And I think you’ve already resisted the Prophet’s temptation once in the War of the Sword Emperor Castle.”

-Please restore the Second Flagbearer. If you do, the Prophet will support you.

-Yes, you are not my daughters if you disappoint me. Get lost! Yes, when I return to the family, if any of the companions of the Twelfth Flagbearer are dead, you will be executed immediately.

Jin didn’t hear the conversation between Rosa, Myu, and Anne during the war, but he was sure that the Prophet had suggested something to Rosa.

The fact is that Rosa also rejected it.

If my mother had made a deal with the Prophet at that time, things would have changed before Ron-nim became a genesis knight.

Joshua would have been restored now.

Joshua remains imprisoned in the dungeon.

And the reason Rosa cut off Myu and Anne’s proposal at that desperate moment was because she knew that in the end, the Prophet would have no choice but to “coexist” with Runcandel.

She calculated that if Runcandel was truly going to be destroyed by Gliek, the Prophet would lend her strength even if she refused.

The Prophet had no other option for the fulfillment of the prophecy.

“You haven’t disappointed me so many times, acting matriarch. So trust me.”

“The younger one.”

“Yes.”

“Do you fear negotiating with the Prophet to the point of having to beg me?”

Only now did Rosa realize what Jin was trying to tell her.

“It may seem like I’m begging. Then, this time, I’ll ask you, acting matriarch…”

How much time do you have left?

Jin spoke with solemn voice.

What worried him was Rosa’s “Demonization.”

He had no way of confirming at what speed Rosa was being enveloped by the Chaos contaminating her.

‘My mother was definitely exposed to the highest level of Chaos.’

When Ron sacrificed his life to prevent Gliek’s self-destruction, naturally it was Rosa and Kelliark who suffered the most consequences.

This chaptr is updatd by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.

Kelliark was able to protect himself to some extent by using the Demon God Orb as a shield, but Rosa was left with only a sword and the clan members waiting for death behind her.

It was thanks to her brute strength that she seemed to move quite well despite being exposed to more chaos than Kelliark.

Demonization.

Jin experienced a greater Chaos than anything else in Gliek’s subspace.

So he knew well how that power could plunge people into madness and dementia.

Even Ron would have turned into a monster without being able to overcome demonization without Jin and Dante.

Jin hoped that Rosa was undergoing a similar process to what he and Ron had experienced at that time.

No, he was convinced.

In Jin’s eyes, it was clear that Rosa was resisting demonization to maintain composure at all times.

“It seems like you’re underestimating me a bit.”

Rosa didn’t show her anger this time either.

It was because she wasn’t sure if the magnitude of the rage that surged at this moment was entirely hers.

If there was the slightest influence of demonization mixed in, she had to suppress it by all means.

“Just like me, please, be honest with me, acting matriarch.”

They looked into each other’s eyes.

Both looked at the enemy.

Both had the same goal of Runcandel’s survival and prosperity, but the paths they walked were so different.

To the point where they couldn’t help but become enemies even though they ran towards the same destination.

“If my answer is negative, does that mean you’ll change your plans?”

“My visit to the brothers of Lafrarosa doesn’t change. It’s the only way to complete the items. However, if the time you have left is shorter than I expected, I’ll cut off the Prophet’s limbs before leaving.”

“The Prophet’s limbs?”

“After Joshua’s death, I’m sure the Eighth and Ninth Flagbearers have become the new messengers of the Prophet. If I kill them, the Prophet will need some time to recover. Then, naturally, the chance of the Prophet approaching you, acting matriarch, will be reduced. Even while I’m not here,” Jin said confidently.

The fact that Miu and Anne became messengers of the Prophet was nothing more than a suspicion.

Furthermore, it was uncertain what impact the Prophet would suffer if they were killed.

Jin had no real intention of killing them.

Even if it became clear that Miu and Anne were members of the Prophet, there would be a lot of information to obtain through them.

“Yes, as you said, even if Miu and Anne became members of the Prophet. Do you think I would sit idly by?”

“I’ll deal with the two even if the acting matriarch and the whole Family are against it.”

In other words, Jin was threatening Rosa based on mere suspicions.

The reason for this was that Rosa and Runcandel were not in a situation where they could crush the Vamel Alliance and Jin with a single word as before the war.

“And I don’t know about the Family, but the Prophet probably doesn’t have the power to stop me right now. If she had that kind of power, she would have already taken over the Family when Joshua was around. It’s true that the Prophet uses special abilities with Chaos, but she’s definitely in trouble.”

Just like the Leader of Kinzelo, Orgal, the Demon Beast King.

Jin swallowed his words and smiled.

“Furthermore, I’ll announce the existence of the Prophet to the world with the justification of killing her. Especially now, when the world hates Chaos because of Gliek. If the fact that our Family has been dealing with Chaos for a long time is revealed by my own words…”

“Enough.”

Jin stopped speaking.

“Even in your absence, you can splash the Family’s reputation with fecal water at any time when negotiating with the Prophet. After all, your four people are out of Lafrarosa, aren’t they?”

“Yes.”

Rosa, who had been glaring at Jin since it became known that he would kill Miu and Anna, ended up laughing out loud at that moment.

“Now you’re speaking for yourself.”

“I’ll take it as a compliment.”

“Your warning was well received. I’ll make my calculations more carefully, so set aside your worries about my demonization. Just remember that the threat is only valuable until it’s executed.”

“Of course.”

“3 years.”

Rosa looked at her blackened wrist and said.

“Assuming my demonic nature proceeds at the same pace as now, I should be able to hold out for about three years. Make sure to return within that time.”
