Chapter 137

“Did you say… doubts? Why would I have any doubts about Lord Naaotto?” Lord Yaakummo asked, still grinning.

It seemed like he was indeed under Lord Naaotto’s control.

That didn’t seem quite right, though. I sensed some sort of agreement between him and Lord Naaotto.

“Well, Lord Yaakummo, you were originally the crown prince, weren’t you?” I asked.

“Yes, that’s true,” he said.

“You’re fine with giving up your throne to Lord Naaotto?” I asked.

Lord Yaakummo just sat there, grinning. I was starting to feel very perplexed about him. It was because every single person under Lord Naaotto’s control that I had encountered thus far had a lifeless look in his or her eyes.

“Lord Naaotto is perfectly fit for the role of crown prince. That’s my opinion on the matter,” said Lord Yaakummo, his expression not changing one bit.

On the other hand, the king’s expression was slowly turning more and more clouded with shame and stress.

Seeing this, I turned back to Lord Yaakummo and glared at him.

“Ah, Ray. What a frightful expression on your face. You object this much at the thought of me becoming the crown prince and uniting the world under my control? Are you trying to say I wouldn’t be right for the position?” said Lord Naaotto.

“Yes. That’s right,” I said.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

“Hahaha. You’ve become so rebellious, Ray. You’re better off just obeying me. You need to accept being my property, my toy. You don’t even need to be conscious, at all,” he said.

Lord Naaotto laughed boldly in my face, and then quickly turned his expression serious, glaring at me with sharp, piercing eyes. I wouldn’t be surprised if he could kill someone with that look.

I unconsciously cringed with fear when I saw it.

The pale look on the king’s face was scaring me, too. And yet, Lord Yaakummo’s smile did not change or fade away.

“…I-I couldn’t possibly agree to hand a nation over to someone who refers to a human being as a toy,” I said, “That person could only end up subjugating the entire country.”

“What’s wrong with that? I intend to subjugate and dominate everyone and everything,” said Lord Naaotto with a sadistic grin.

Lord Naaotto had no regard for the people. He was planning on forcing his will upon all people using fear – just as he had done with me. I couldn’t allow that to happen.

“A king exists to serve the people, not the other way around. If you don’t understand that, then I have to refuse your right to the throne,” I said.

“That’s exactly what I was thinking, Ray. You sound just like Yaakummo before he started obeying me. You should drink my blood and follow my commands like he does.”

I flat out told him that he had no right to the throne, and yet Lord Naaotto smiled at me with ease. Had Lord Naaotto forgotten, though? I had already drunk his blood once before. Yet, his powers were unable to control me.

“Your blood doesn’t affect me,” I said, shooting daggers at Lord Naaotto with my glaring eyes.

But, Lord Naaotto only laughed, fearlessly.

“It probably wasn’t enough blood last time. A small amount didn’t work on Lord Yaakummo, either. After I fed him a few doses, it finally started to work on him. You should have some more, too, Ray. Now, then – Lord Yaakummo and Your Highness – go on and capture this woman before you. We’ll make sure she has her fill of blood. What do you say, Ray?”

“Wait, wha-!?”

Lord Yaakummo and the King rose while swaying, and got to their feet at Lord Naaotto’s command.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
