Chapter 165 Why in a Hurry?

When they woke up and had breakfast in the courtyard, everyone seemed to already forgot about what happened. The event was too unreal, too short lived, and it happened and ended quickly as well.

They still talked about it occasionally, but that was it.

Aldred chatted with his girls, laughing, and having fun together.

But then something unexpected happened. A vampire visited the courtyard to see Aldred.

When Aldred saw him, he raised an eyebrow and asked: “Byron?”

“Hello, Aldred,” he said hesitantly.

“Why are you here?”

“You haven’t fulfilled the blood contract. Unless you do that, I still have a 50% chance to die.”

“What?” Aldred had forgotten about the contract, but this man appeared out of nowhere to remind him.

“I don’t want it. It was supposed to be a joke anyway.”

“No! You must do it. Or else I will die. There’s also the possibility that my weaker families and relatives could get heavily injured.”

“What kind of contract did you give me. Isn’t there a rule for the winner to refuse the prize?”

Maverick shook his head. “He gave you the latest blood contract that was not supposed to be used lightly. This contract will harm the loser if the winner doesn’t take the promised prize. This was made because many nobles prevent their winning opponents from taking the prize through extortion, bribery, assassination, and many more.”

“So this rule was made so that these losers won’t prevent the winner from taking their prize?”

“That’s correct. It’s one of the best and worst contracts there is because it can also harm your whole bloodline, not just you.”

“So the entire family could be killed?”

“To some extent.”

“Damn, this contract is bloody. What if the enemies’ real intention is to eliminate the whole family then? Couldn’t they use this as a weapon?”

“They can. That’s why I said this should never be used lightly. Usually, the whole family bear witness for the blood contract as it was signed. Should the opposing party refuse the prize intentionally, it would be an all out war that could eliminate both families.”

“That’s like saying ‘If I am going down, I will take you with me as well’.”

“It’s precisely that.”

“So… that means… I have to fuck his mom and sister? Damn, I don’t want that. Do you think I’m some sort of pervert?”

…

Hajheletmik County was located in the center of Thignia Empire, to the west from Chanterre county. It had a huge landmass and great trade route with neighboring kingdoms. Because they matched the grandeur and splendor of Chanterre, the both of them were considered as rivals.

The lord of Hajheletmik, Lord Yanka, was a proud man with an ego, so when he heard what Byron did, he was enraged. He sent out his spies to find out who this boy was. And the news shocked him one after another.

Climbing Mount Fargon with ease, turning millions of Gold Rank monster into undead, making the legendary creature Xer Xai become his servant. Fighting with endless power and varieties of skills.

All of his accomplishment were impossible to achieve by a normal person. Even a prodigy would think it was impossible.

The more he knew, the more mysterious the boy became. So his spies continued to dig and found the boy in Chanterre.

And then he found out that the boy was secretly in relationship with Aleron’s daughter. Lord Yanka frowned when he obtained this information.

“Why is Aleron hiding the fact that his daughter has a lover?”

His eyes widened. “He wanted to keep the boy as his secret weapon in the future. Aleron you’re a wise and patient man indeed. Instead of flaunting all your connections, wealth, and power, you hid them so cleverly. No wonder you could destroy Radonvilter in a day.”

His eyes gleamed in excitement. He did not despise Aleron to be so sly and cunning. In fact, he admired him and was happy to have him as a rival.

And to be honest, he wanted to form a close relationship with Chanterre. Although they were rivals, they had never been in real conflict with each other.

And Lord Yanka was a fan of Aleron’s wit and wisdom.

Now that Aldred was his daughter’s lover, and also planned to visit Yanka, this could be an opportunity to tie some relationship with Chanterre. Through Aldred, he could make a strong bond between the two counties.

“That fool of my son. Is he smarter than I thought?”

He made a blood contract with his own mother and sister as bait. Yanka smiled. This son of his was more sly than he thought. Ruthless and decisive, but it was a wise choice because he was told that Aldred had a powerful blood inside of him.

If his family could get a descendant out of the boy, that would be better for the future generations.

Lord Yanka smiled. “I should prepare a feast for his visit.”

…

“Do I really have to go?” Aldred asked.

“You have to or my family will be in danger.” Byron begged.

Aldred scratched his cheek. “Aren’t you going to kill me after I do ‘that’ to your mom and sister?”

“Oncs the contract gets solved. We wouldn’t be able to harm you unless you harm our interest.”

“What a convenient contract. Who made this thing?”

“That’s not important,” Byron said. “When are you going to visit?”

“I like this place. I can relax and eat well, so maybe in a few days.”

“Too long. We should go tomorrow.”

“Bro, are you drunk. Why are you in a hurry for me to fuck your mom and sister??”

“Do you want me to fuck them in front of you as well?”

Byron sighed. “I already said that my family is at risk if you don’t do it. Don’t make this hard for me.”

“Alright, we will go tomorrow. I am planning to go to the east anyway.”

“To do what?” Maverick asked.

“I would like to visit the Republic of Paphia.”

“The winged-man nation?”

Aldred nodded. “The forgotten warrior told me to visit the Lair of Treasure. I got a bunch of maps from the adventures that I helped on the mountain, and it said here that the place is located to the east from Hajheletmik.”

“You guys want to go as well?”

“Of course!”
