I Became a Level -99 Vicious Lord

After about 10 minutes.

Javier and his son Kujo emerge from the partially collapsed mansion.

Thunk! Clang!

Then, the troops of the Koutachi Kingdom who had surrounded the mansion, raised their weapons and surrounded Javier and Kujo.

“Where are you, brother?”

Javier searched for Conrad.

“I’m here. Who you wanted to get rid of so badly surrendered and come out? Here I am…”

At that moment,

“Hmm…!”

When Otto appeared instead of Conrad, Javier’s face twisted in shock.

“You worthless mongrel, go away. I have nothing to say to you.”

Javier showed no interest in Otto and focused only on finding Conrad.

But…

“Silence, criminal.”

The captain of the guard stepped forward and blocked Javier’s words.

“You are in the presence of the Prince. Even if you are a convicted felon, as a member of the great Koutachi family, you should show respect.”

“What? The Prince…?”

“Yes. His Excellency the Grand Duke has appointed him as his successor, so he is now the Prince.”

“Hahaha!”

Javier burst out laughing as if he had gone mad.

“This damn idiot… couldn’t wait for a moment… hahaha… Just one night… and he couldn’t even come in person… sending this damn brat… hahaha…”

Javier seemed to have gone mad with disappointment, as his ambition, built up over decades, shattered just before it could bear fruit…

Even worse, Conrad himself did not even appear to face him, let alone sent Otto in his place.

Now Conrad was blatantly ignoring Javier and Kujo’s presence.

Saying indirectly ‘He was not worth his attention.’

“Conrad… if you ignore me like that… you’ll pay for it… hahaha!”

Following that, Javier’s body turned red and a storm of mana swept over them.

Kujo, who was by his side, trembled as he watched Javier’s state, but soon he began to pull up his own mana.

However, the suppressing army did not even blink at Javier and Kujo’s last-ditch effort.

Why?

There was no need to.

Suddenly, multiple layers of magic circles appeared under the feet of Javier and Kujo, who were trying to do something.

“What, what is this?”

“F-father!”

Javier and Kujo were greatly bewildered when their mana suddenly ran out.

They had tried to detonate all of their remaining mana in a final act of defiance, but the newly generated magic circles quickly absorbed all of the mana.

“Uh, if you can’t self-destruct, then that’s it.”

Otto looked at the scene with a cold smile.

“That’s absurd…”

“Ahh….”

Javier and Kujo, who failed to self-destruct, slumped in despair.

“This is… hell….”

It felt like they had fallen into an endless pit.

Was there a way out?

There was none.

After Otto’s appearance, Javier and Kujo did not achieve a single thing they wanted.

They didn’t even try their best to do something.

Because the suppression was so quick that they didn’t even have time to try.

“As a lord, I order you to arrest the rebels.”

Otto commanded in front of the despairing Javier and Kujo.

“Yes, Prince!”

Then, Conrad’s guards tied up Javier and Kujo in a humiliating position.

“Let’s go, you rebels.”

Otto dragged the captured Javier and Kujo towards the castle.

***

1 hour later.

“Hahaha~!!!”

Conrad laughed as if he was very satisfied, seeing that Otto had caught Javier and Kujo, who had been a thorn in his side for decades, and had been dragged away in a humiliating position.

It was only natural that he felt refreshed since these troublesome people had been tied up and humiliated after so many years.

“Great job! You did really well!”

Conrad praised Otto.

“It was not an easy task, you must have suffered a lot.”

“Excuse me?”

Otto blinked his eyes, as if asking what he meant.

“I didn’t suffer that much….”

“What?”

Conrad furrowed his eyebrows in confusion as Otto spouted nonsense.

“Weren’t you struggling to capture those guys? And there must have been considerable damage to our allies as well?”

“Uh…well…there were some casualties among our allies…”

As Otto hesitated to answer, Camille interjected.

“Your Highness, three knights and nine soldiers were injured, but their injuries are not life-threatening. There are also about twenty soldiers and knights who sustained minor injuries that will fully recover within a week.”

“Is that all the damage we suffered?”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“What about fatalities?”

“There were none.”

“Hoo!”

Conrad was surprised at the unbelievable results.

Although it was a surprise attack, Javier and Kujo were not an easy target.

“What happened exactly?”

“If you ask how he commanded this operation….”

Camille reported the operation to Conrad in Otto’s place.

“Ah!”

Finally realizing the situation, Conrad looked at Otto in amazement.

“You! You went bit overboard!”

“Haha… So what? Hahaha…”

Otto laughed coolly.

‘Well, It’s a piece of cake for me.’

As someone who had confronted Javier and Kujo several times in the game, Otto found it impossible to back down even if he wanted to.

‘Not only did he open the sanctuary and obtain the power of the invincible emperor, but also took care of those two annoying eye sore easily… How can I not trust and entrust our great Koutachi family someone like him? I guess good fortune comes to those who wait until the end of their lives!’

Upon seeing Otto’s abilities, Conrad didn’t care much about his lineage.

As a ruthless meritocrat, Conrad was willing to pass on the successor position to Otto even if he wasn’t of noble birth.

He was even willing to create a fake family tree if necessary.

Conrad wanted to do a little victory dance, but he held back for the sake of his dignity and composure, and told Otto.

“Yes, since you’ve handled this matter so efficiently, I’ll entrust you with the task of dealing with those two as well.”

“If you leave it to me, I will take care of it thoroughly… no, I will satisfy you,” replied Otto, looking at Javier and Kuzo with a devilish smile.

‘Even a Dog poo can be useful as medicine, after all. Hehehe.’

Otto didn’t plan to execute Javier and Kujo just yet.

In his opinion, they still had some usefulness left in them, even if it was only for a single occasion.
