I Became a Level -99 Vicious Lord

Chapter 114

Beatrice.

Wife of Julius-Argonne the Great, she was the most evil flower serpent of all time.

Beatrice was a stunning beauty, and despite her role as a villain, she was so incredibly popular that she was ranked fourth in beauty in a popularity poll among gamers.

Despite her beauty, however, Beatrice was a mythical flower snake.

When she first appeared, she was said to be a distant relative of Julius, and her primary goal is to approach the gamer who has become her host and become queen.

If she is successful in becoming queen, she immediately gives birth to a prince.

She then uses the prince to actively intervene in politics, creating factions in favor of the crown prince and chipping away at the gamers’ authority.

If this situation happens, the gamer has already fallen perfectly into the trap.

Why?

Because Julius is forming a faction in favor of the Gamer against Beatrice, and the Gamer is in a position to be deposed by either side.

In other words, Beatrice was playing the role of a scheming philanderer, forcing the gamer to turn to Julius.

But what gets him more riled up is the story after he’s stabbed in the back by Julius and dethroned.

As the gamer is beheaded and the screen fades to gray, the following text is displayed.

Julius killed the crown prince, the son of the loser, under the guise of accidental death.

In doing so, he had the active cooperation of Beatrice, the queen of the defeated country.

Julius welcomed Beatrice as queen, changed the name of the state to Krares to signify the inheritance of the empire that had once united the continent, and entered the race for supremacy in earnest.

After this, the phrase is displayed, then the game returns to the initial screen.

In other words, Beatrice was a devilish bitch who would kill her own child for the sake of Julius.

‘No wonder’

It was then that Otto realized with certainty why Julius had changed the country’s name to Krares.

Since Julius was the Great Emperor Argonne, it was only natural that he would usurp the throne of the Gamer and change the country’s name to Krares.

‘Ugh. These crooked bastards.’

Her husband, Julius, is a con man.

And his wife, Beatrice, a flower snake.

It was quite the husband-and-wife team.

The problem is, the standard pattern of seducing the monarch was only just basic.

If she couldn’t seduce the monarch, she’d go after the people around the monarch, causing trouble in any way she could.

For example, if she failed to seduce Otto, she would target his inner circle, such as Camille or even the goblin merchant Ego.

Of course, it would be difficult to seduce Camille, but….

‘I wondered when you would appear, and here you are. You’ve resurrected around this time, and we’re moving together again, right? That’s right. Julius was planning to introduce you when this winter passed.’

All the pieces finally fit together.

A long time ago.

Kairos, who had risen from being a mercenary leader to a powerful warlord and ruled a small country, met Argonne and they became sworn brothers.

Then one day.

“Brother, this is my old childhood friend, Beatrice.”

Kairos had been introduced to Beatrice by Argonne and was instantly smitten.

“You must be General Kairos, and I’m Beatrice. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

“Ka, I’m Kairos.”

But Kairos could not be with her.

“I already have someone I like.”

“・・・I see.”

“But I want to keep on being a good sibling with my brother. It won’t make it awkward between us, will it?”

“Oohh, of course!”

It didn’t take long for Kairos to realize that it was Argonne who Beatrice had her heart set on, but he didn’t let that make him jealous or interfere with their relationship.

He already had a deep friendship with Argonne, and it was inconceivable to Kairos that he could be jealous of his brother, who was, by nature, a decent, loyal, and good man.

Furthermore, due to family and political circumstances, Argonne and Beatrice had a difficult relationship.

Throughout this delicate love triangle, Kairos kept Beatrice in his heart.

Years later, when Kairos had built an empire.

Beatrice was eventually made the concubine of Argonne, the great general of the empire.

For political reasons, she could never be his legitimate wife.

“Why won’t you hold the wedding? Are you worried about appearances? Don’t mind that! I’ll take care of everything!”

“It’s fine, Your Majesty, I’m happy with what I have.”

“Is that so?”

“Thank you. For your blessing.”

“You are welcome. Live well. I’m sure Argonne will be good to you.”

After that, Kairos lived the rest of his life as a bachelor.

This was why he did not take an empress until his downfall.

Back to the present.

“How the hell do you know that name!”

Kairos demanded, turning to Otto again.

“How do I know, she must have stabbed you in the back in the past!”

“What do you know about that?”

“A pretender is a pretender, is that something you really need to know?”

“Hmph!”

“You don’t honestly mean to tell me that you’ve been in a relationship with that vile bitch?”

Otto asked Kairos, narrowing his eyes.

“No way!”

“Then?”

The probing continued.

“What kind of relationship was it, was it just a close brother-sister thing or something?”

“Yes!”

“So you confessed to her and then got dumped?”

“…….!”

“Right. It was a dalliance. How can a man known as the Emperor…..”

“I… I merely made a concession to that Argonne bastard!”

“Yiieellded~~?”

Otto’s eyes widened to three times their normal size.

“What, a concession?”

“That’s right!”

“Pretending to be a real man all by yourself? You act like an emperor, but all you did was pine for unrequited love? Whining and moaning your whole life?”

“Shu.., Shut up!”

“Did you even give your virginity to that flower snake bitch? Aigoo!”

“Didn’t I tell you to shut up, I… I don’t want to hear it, shut up, shut up, shut up!”

“Ah. Yes. Your Majesty.”

Otto bowed sarcastically toward Kairos.

“You must feel awkward. You had a crush on someone who didn’t suit you, and you got backstabbed by the adultery group. You lost everything you had, ruined your subordinates’ lives, and you still think it’s awkward? Yes, yes.”

“You…. You!!!”

Kairos trembled at Otto’s taunts, his face turning red like an angry kettle.

“How dare you speak ill of me, you little bastard.”

At that moment.

*Whoosh!*

The [Phantom Armor] suddenly opened its mouth, and the ghosts of Agato, Hildegard, and Maximus appeared and surrounded Kairos.

They pounced on Kairos and began to pummel him, viciously and unapologetically gnawing at him.

“See, didn’t I tell you to stay away from that ugly-faced bitch!”

“How many times have I told you that that bitch is a husband-eating bitch, huh?”

“Hanging around with that conniving bitch and that Argonne bastard!”

Kairos stammered as Agatho, Hildegard, and Maximus grilled him.

“Tha… That’s not it…”

Kairos felt an earthquake in his pupils.

“I’ve known it since you were unrequitedly in love with her, and I’d rather have that elven maiden a hundred times over!”

Maximus glared at Kairos, his eyes sparkling with sapphire energy.

“Ah, Ariel?!”

“What is this! Just because our elder brother can’t find a decent woman, we shouldn’t be in this situation!”

“That. I’m sorry about that…..”

“As if ruining your life wasn’t enough, now you’re dragging our lives down together. Does that make you feel satisfied? Huh?”

“……”

“Oh yeah, you liked rolling up in alcohol too, didn’t you? Great!”

There was more.

“You did a good job. That Argonne asshole stole the girl, he stole the country. Heck, the girl he stole didn’t even have feelings for you to begin with, did she? Huh?”

“Do you not know the saying that choosing the wrong woman can uproot the pillars of a household? That woman has been sticking with that scoundrel Argonne from the beginning!”

Agatho and Hildegard both vented their accumulated bitterness and frustration at Kairos.

‘This is complicated.’

Otto looked at Kairos, who was being thrashed by his men, and reproached him.

Kairos deserved it.

It was obvious.

Kairos’s entourage must have known that Argonne and Beatrice were shady, and had warned him many times.

But Kairos must have ignored them all, or simply dismissed them without a second thought.

He ignored the advice of the embedded stones and circled around the stones that rolled in, and he paid a very heavy price for it.¹

‘This is why you should listen to the people around you. It’s not good to be a lone wolf, and it’s not good to be a fool. I shouldn’t be like that.’

Otto took Kairos as a role model. He vowed to be a good monarch who listened to his subjects.

Meanwhile,

“B..ro…ther.”

Beatrice beckoned to Kairos with a gesture as if she were craving water.

“Bl..ood, Th..ere… s.. no… eno… ugh.. blood.”

Her voice sounded so desperate, pitiful, and desperate that even Otto felt sympathy for her.

Indeed, her voice had a magical charm that could move a man’s heart.

In other words, the character was not labeled a “temptress” for lack of reason.

“Blood… please… my brother… help me… give me… blood… blood…”

Beatrice pleaded with Kairos.

“….Beatrice.”

Kairos looked at Beatrice and squeezed his eyes shut in pity.

“Hey!”

Otto shouted at Kairos and slammed his head with the [Poker of Awakening].

*Bang!*

“Cough!”

Kairos coughed up blood.

‘What the fuck happened to make a bang noise when hitting someone in the head?’

Ah, well.

That’s not the important thing.

“Hey, you lunatic, are you awake?”

“Huh?”

“Do you feel sorry for that demonic bitch after what she’s done to you? She’s been fucking that Argonne asshole and using you to get her way?”

“She ruined your life. And your men’s lives, too.”

With that, Otto slammed his sword down at Kairos’ feet.

“End it.

“Break it up with her…”

“A bad relationship once is bad enough, why go through with it twice? Cut it off now, for the stupid things you did in the past. With your own hands.”

Otto watched Kairos with his jaw clenched tightly as he finished those words.

Kairos picked up the sword that had been thrown at his feet.

“Brother… blood… blood… blood needs… yo… to do it…”

Beatrice’s voice and the sound of her limping footsteps echoed in his ears.

*Squeeze!*

Kairos clenched his hand, breaking the shaft of the sword.

He didn’t realize it then.

That Beatrice had used him.

But now he knew.
