The news that Otto had acquired the invincible emperor’s swordsmanship and power at the ‘Sanctuary’ spread throughout the entire Koutachi family in the blink of an eye.

Thanks to this, Javier and Kujo, who were hit by a bolt from the blue, were completely out of their minds.

Now that Otto is officially recognized as a member of the Koutachi family and is expected to take the position of the next head of the family, it’s only a matter of time.

As there was no successor to Conrad, the Koutachi family was on the verge of collapse, and for Javier and Kujo, who were about to swallow it all up, it was a complete disaster.

“Father, what do we do now? If this continues, our wealth…”

“Who said we’re just going to sit and die?”

Javier said in an eerie voice.

“It’s not too late yet.”

“Are you thinking of assassination?”

“Of course.”

Javier nodded his head.

“Whether that b**tard dies before opening the Sanctuary or dies now, what difference does it make? Either way, it’s over if he dies.”

“Well, that’s true, but…”

Kujo said cautiously.

“Now that he has returned from the Sanctuary, the number of guards must have increased.”

“Of course they have. But just because the number of guards has increased, it doesn’t mean we can’t kill him.”

“Yes…?”

“There are many ways to do it, so just trust me. Got it?”

“Yes, Father.”

After reassuring his son Kujo, Javier sharpened his eyes full of vitality.

“I don’t know reason he came here, but… he will surely not be able to escape death… You may not know it, but you are already like a corpse….”

***

After finishing breakfast, Otto checked his condition with Camille and headed to the training ground.

“Let’s see….”

He opened his skill window.

[Eye of Calypso]

One of the five powers of the Invincible Emperor and the core skill system of the ‘Witch Calypso.’

The power of each skill becomes stronger according to the user’s level, and the number of skills that can be used also increases.

– Clairvoyance (available)

– Petrifying Gaze (unavailable)

– Poisonous Gaze (unavailable)

– Soul Robbing (unavailable)

– Instant Death Curse (unavailable)

The power of the Invincible Emperor was not just about skills.

Each power contained a skill system with at least three to five skills.

[Clairvoyance]

A skill belonging to the “Eye of Calypso” skill system.

Maximizes vision, allowing you to secure visibility even in extreme situations.

Note: As the character’s level increases, the range of vision and mana consumption decreases.

‘Will it work?’

Otto tried to use the “Clairvoyance” skill.

“Swoosh!”

Then, his eyes turned dark green, and all objects began to appear translucent.

Although his level was still low, he could ignore thin clothing at least, but he could not completely see through thick objects or walls.

“What are you looking at like that? And why are your eyes green?”

Camille asked.

“Camille.”

“Yes…?”

“Did you wear red underwear today?”

“……?”

Are you being naughty? Pretending not to be, but wearing a mischievous color?”

“Absolutely not.”

Camille strongly denied.

“Who said I was wearing red underwear?”

“But I can see it.”

“Yes…?”

“I can see it,” Otto drew a circle with his finger and held it up to his own eyes, then chuckled.

“Now, you can’t hide anything from me…”

At that moment,

-Swish!

Camille swung his sword like lightning.

-CLING!

Otto raised his sword to block the attack.

“You got Lucky.”

Camille said in a cold tone.

“Not bad, huh?” Otto chuckled.

“Sneaking a peek at men’s underwear… That’s something only dirty criminals would do.”

“Ah~ I just tested it to see if it works.”

“I’ll fix that habit for you.”

Camille started to press on Otto aggressively.

But… Cling! Swish! Cling!

Otto effortlessly blocked or dodged all of Camille’s attacks.

“Huh? Did you really learn swordsmanship at the Sanctuary?”

Otto, who didn’t even know the basics of swordsmanship before, was easily defending against all his attacks…

“Did you think I lied?”

“Alright. Let me see how much you’ve improved.”

And so, the duel began.

‘Amazing progress.’

Camille was amazed as he watched Otto, who was dueling with him on an equal footing.

To think that he could become this strong in just a few days…

But he couldn’t defeat Camille just yet.

After all, he had only polished the basics of the Invincible Sword Technique, and he still had a long way to go…

20 minutes later.

-Thud!

Camille’s sword struck Otto’s head.

“Arghh!” Otto screamed.

“You just died.”

“Ugh… my head… oh no… I’m dead…”

“Never look at my underwear again.”

“Ughhh….”

Camille spoke coldly and left the training ground, leaving Otto behind.

‘At this rate, he’ll catch up soon. I’ll have to start training again.’

Camille was greatly stimulated by Otto’s terrifying rate of growth.

The skills that Otto showed in the duel just now were not ordinary, so if time passed like this, there was a possibility that the lord, Otto, would instead have to protect his knight.

[TL: I know what you’re thinking, but Camille is ‘Male’. The author sure got some strange taste. Anyway, there will be no FMC in this novel until some time later, who seems to be a potential FMC. Oh! Well, my apologies, I forgot about head maid ‘Olivia’ but you get what I mean, right?]

***

That evening.

Kujo went out for a walk to cool his head.

Although his father, Javier, assured him that he would kill Otto, Kujo wanted to get some fresh air because his mind was complicated.

While walking.

“Why is the Conrad’s Guard here?”

Kujo raised his head when he saw Conrad’s guard protecting the bar on the street, where the drinking party was being held..

And….

“That guy!”

Kujo spotted a young man drinking while surrounded by people.

A young blond man he had never seen before was being escorted by the Conrad Guard?

He was certain.

The one who had jeopardized Kujo’s successor position by opening Sanctuary….

“Who the hell is thinking? Getting all carried away”

Angry Kujo strode towards the open pub, wanting to see the face of the person who had ruined his chances of becoming the next successor.`
