Build a Human Empire by Creating Clans

It really resembles his younger days.

It wasn’t just a resemblance, it seemed like he had come back then.

No, it was more elegant than he was back then.

How can a person change like that?

There was no old look like a dog cowering in fear.

“Have you been at peace? father.”

wince

The vassals shuddered.

The duke didn’t know, but even the voice was the same.

The more vassals who had been with him for the rest of their lives, the more violently they reacted.

A voice that the peacock, hoarse with age, could not produce.

Edar looked at the surprised vassals one by one.

“Ernst, Helmut, Winfried, Bloom…”

The vassals shuddered again.

My body inadvertently mistook it for the duke calling.

In response, Edar smiled.

“You brought all the pillars of the house except for my foolish brother, Priest Eric. Don’t you hate me too much?”

hahahaha, I laughed.

The duke frowned.

“What mug did you come back with?”

“Don’t you know? I have come to defy your words.”

“what?”

“My father said. ‘As of today, we will banish you and deprive you of your right to succeed and your family name. Until I give you permission, you won’t be able to set foot in the original house.’”

Hook, I heard the sound of swallowing my breath.

“The flesh you abandoned has returned. I am back after swearing that you are not your seed. To have your words reaped and to regain Sudret’s name.”

Edar put his right arm on my chest and smiled broadly.

“What do you want to do now? Will you acknowledge that I am the rightful heir to Sudret? Or would you like to kill me?”

Only the sound of the wind could be heard on the plain.

Cataclysm is coming

The vassals gasped and held their breath.

It was because what Edar said was too bold.

Duke Sudret and Svein laughed out loud.

“Do you want to go home with me?”

“yes.”

“Do you know what that means?”

“It means accepting me as a sudlet again.”

The Duke of Sudret declared banishment and isolation from Edar.

This meant the deprivation of Sudret’s right to inherit the castle and family.

However, the duke stops talking and takes Edar back in?

It means returning the deprived family and succession rights.

The duke asked, shaking his beard.

“You dare to say that even though you know that?”

“What can I not do?”

“Are you talking about words!”

The duke burst into anger.

There was a tremendous amount of magical power in his voice.

He was so angry that the ground shook.

His vassals had never seen him so angry.

Turning white, I shrank my head and looked at the Duke’s eyes.

However, Edar smiled and looked at the peacock.

“…”

It was like a confrontation between an old duke and a young duke.

“You are already punished for your sins! Did you forget that!”

crime.

The direct cause of Edar’s isolation.

The duke recalled the day he decided to quit and quit.

There were so many writings that the box was full.

The contents were diverse and vicious enough that there was no overlap.

The duke, who had hated Edar from before, accepted the letter as a justification and decided to cut him off and banish him.

“I don’t know.”

“what?”

“Didn’t I tell you already? It’s not something I did.”

Edar let out a laugh.

“Should the one who is aiming for the throne be blinded by love and fooled by lies?”

The duke shuddered and took a deep breath.

I realized what Edar said.

“dare! Are you passing your sins on to your mother again?”

“I was just telling the truth.”

“Shut up!”

I drew my sword.

I lost my temper for an instant.

If Edar had been a little closer, he would have cut him right away.

Calliope stood in front of the Duke, who held the reins as if to rush.

“…”

The duke glared at who dared to stop him.

I was taken aback when I met her dark blue eyes.

Intuition reacted to the eyes that did not feel a single emotion.

She shouted that she was out of the ordinary, that she was dangerous.

cringe…

However, anger boiled over more than intuition.

Anger pushed his intuition and shouted that he must punish the immoral.

As the Duke hesitates between intuition and intuition,

“Svein.”

The Duke turned his head.

The person he cherished the most among his vassals shook his head.

“It’s not possible. Be patient.”

He was the Duke’s milk brother, Helmut.

Hesitating between intuition and resentment, the duke asked.

Anger cooled quickly, and reason found its place.

I put my sword in and glared at Calliope.

She just stared at him quietly.

“It doesn’t matter whether you are guilty or not.”

Edar said.

“In the first place, did it matter whether my sins were true or false? The important thing was to kick me out. Isn’t it?”

The duke swallowed.

Because Edar’s words were true.

Sinned or not, it didn’t matter.

He just needed an excuse to kick Edar out.

The submission was an excuse given just in time.

“Kuhm!”

The duke was also well aware of it, but refused to admit it.

Admitting this would mean that he had made a mistake, and that his companion Ibella, whom he loved so much, had deceived him by posting falsely.

Blinded by love, he chose not to admit it.

And seeing his attitude, Edar smiled.

“If the reason I was abandoned was not because of sin, I don’t see any reason why I couldn’t go back.”

“You are inferior to your brother! When your younger siblings show their talent, you do nothing.”

“Talent? Do you think I am inferior to my brothers?”

“okay. you are inferior So it was abandoned.”

Edar smiled and nodded.

A line of soldiers moved behind him.

A woman walks between them, and a young man is dragged behind her.

Seeing the young man, the duke widened his eyes.

“Haral!”

The young man was Ibela’s second son, Haral Sudret.

Haral had his hands tied and his mouth gagged.

When he saw his father, he twisted his body while making a noise.

When the family holding him let go of his hand, he collapsed with a sigh.

Duke Sudret frowned at the unsightly appearance.

“Why are you?”

The voice was full of bewilderment, not anger.

He hadn’t even dreamed that Haral belonged to a marquess family.

Being a promiscuous person, he was always the wandering second, and he showed little interest even when discussing his engagement to the daughter of the Marquis of Loisenne.

However, when he showed up in the Marquis’s estate and was arrested and injured, he felt more embarrassed than angry.

“Who is inferior now?”

Edar twitched the corner of his mouth and made a sneer.

The duke saw the woman who came with Haral.

Julia Loegene, the only daughter of the Marquis of Loegene.

Edar’s ex-fiancé and Haral’s future fiancée.

“What is this…”

The duke frowned and looked at her.

She didn’t react even when she saw the tied second.

Looking at her attitude, she might have been the one who led the arrest.

It was suspicious from the fact that the Marquis, who should have stopped Edar at the border, allowed passage even on a small scale.

‘There’s no way that Marquis Loisene doesn’t know about my relationship with Edar.’

The Duke was sure that the Marquis had chosen Edar, not him.

As if reading his thoughts, Edar smiled.

“Roegene is mine.”

Julia Roesene only blinked briefly at those words and remained silent.

“Duke, am I still inferior to my brother?”

“…”

The Duke was speechless.

Then Haral, who had just been untied from the gag, shouted.

“father! He’s a prostitute’s son! I was born between humans and livestock! How do you look like us!”

“Haral…”

“How do you see each other?”

Edar laughed.

“Because my appearance proves the blood of the sudlets more than anyone else.”

“Don’t bullsh*t!”

“No matter how much you deny it, the truth is the truth. Look.”

He looked at his vassals, pressing his face with his open palm.

“Ernst, Helmut, Winfried, Bloom. look at me Look carefully. who I look like.”

The vassals averted their eyes.

His appearance is very similar to that of a duke in his youth.

It was driven by the will, as if to follow him subconsciously.

‘The Duchess said that Edar was not the son of the Duke, but from all angles, it was clear that his blood was mixed.’

If that appearance was created by chance.

There is nothing in the world that cannot be achieved by chance.

‘Except for being born as a child of livestock in the first place…because I resemble the duke more than anyone else.’

That’s why he kept alive even his talents that were inferior to those of bugs.

That’s why I was disappointed in his talent that was worse than that of a bug and threw it away.

Edar’s appearance was the same as his own, so his clumsiness felt like his own, and the word of mouth floating around him felt like word of mouth floating around himself.

The vassals swallowed their saliva without speaking.

“Did you see it? Their reactions prove my lineage.”

“Do you think you are qualified just because you look alike?”

“Then what qualifications do you need?”

Edar spread his arms wide.

“I expanded the Great Plains. Conquered northern Wallachia. He was kicked out without receiving a single coin, but he accomplished so much. Is this still not enough?”

“Kuh…”

Haral gritted his teeth and glared at Edar.

Edar laughed at the glaring gaze.

“How is the duke? Do you feel that I am not good enough as a son?”

“Why do you want to come back?”

“Because the blood in my body wants it.”

“…”

“I want to be Sudret’s rightful successor. Just like you want to be the king of Germania. I also want to become a sudlet of Germania, not a vassal of Wallochia. Need another reason?”

The duke did not answer.

I closed my mouth and glared at Edar.

The resentment that had boiled so strongly subsided.

A child who looked like him but was inferior has returned.

And now he says he wants everything he has.

“…”

Dung- Dung-

I heard the sound of drums.

The sound of drums made by Edar’s soldiers.

However, the soldiers lined up in front of them did not move.

The sound of drums echoed behind the peacock.

“What’s going on!”

A soldier rushed in.

“Soldiers are approaching from the rear!”

There was no need to ask whose it belonged to.

6,000 troops that Edar placed on the border.

Who else besides them would aim for the Duke of Sudret?

‘6,000 people. Numbers aren’t much, but…’

What if the level is the same as those who slaughtered the Knights?

‘Damn it… where the hell did you get a group like this…’

The duke glared at the marquis’ only daughter, Julia Rogene.

“Why did you open the border?”

“I promised.”

“What promise?”

“He said he would let you go if you cured the emperor’s curse.”

Cure the emperor’s curse?

Dukes and vassals were all surprised.

If it’s the emperor’s curse, isn’t it an incurable disease?

“how?”

“Sudret has also been suffering from a curse lately.”

Eddar took out the letter from his bosom.

The letter passed through the soldier’s hand to the duke.

The duke opened his eyes wide as he read the letter, and his hands trembled.

The content of the letter was about the Wolf Cult’s recent activities.

Spreading the emperor’s curse, brainwashing church members to cause an uprising, seizing the family by enlisting the deficit of a powerful family, etc…

Because of the extreme contents, the duke’s eyes were full of distrust.

“You bastard… how can you lie like this—”

“I hope it’s false, but it’s true.”

Edar looked at Yulia.

Yulia, who knew the contents of the letter, replied resolutely.

“The letter is real. It was in Bishop Bowler’s study.”

“…is the Horbid religion really spreading a curse?”

Edar gestured to Sister Rachel.

Rachel brought an oak barrel she had kept in the wagon.

“This?”

Edar opened the oak barrel.

The disgusting truth was revealed along with the fishy smell.

The Duke hardened his expression and clenched his fists.

Edar picked up one of the larvae and placed it in his hand.

“This is the truth of the curse.”

The peacock glared at the caterpillar.

Edar looked at the duke and smiled lightly.

“I heard that there are quite a few people under my father who suffer from parasites. I’ll treat you if you want, but… that’s strange, didn’t you know?”

“What do you mean?”

He crumpled his teeth.

“I told you that the emperor’s curse was deliberately spread by the Horbid priest. However, the curse is spreading around the father as well. What do you think is the reason?”

The eyes of the vassals were focused on the duke.

“father. Aren’t you always proud? There is no human being more loyal to his master than Sudret.”

The Duke, who received his gaze, erased his expression pretending to be calm.

“But why? Are you releasing parasites on your father’s estate and not even mentioning it to your father? Aren’t you abandoned?”

wince

Edar said quietly.

“Aren’t you curious why, Father?”

###

“thank you.”

I saw Yulia.

“Thank you for treating my father and protecting Yeongji.”

Just before leaving for Sudlet, Yulia greeted me.

The Marquis of Loisene did not come to meet him.

I had to focus on recovery because my energy was declining.

It was quite unreasonable to come out and shout in the square.

“Don’t forget what you promised me.”

Prohibiting giving in return, not buying or selling human beings.

She hardened her expression and nodded firmly.

“I know.”

Not buying and selling humans was just a little annoying, but stopping giving gifts was no different than a life-and-death challenge.

If the guarantee that I will take responsibility is false, then the work that the Marquis of Loisene has been giving away for generations will collapse.

The responsibility for this must be fully borne by the Marquis of Loisene.

“Nothing to worry about. A lot will be over when they tell you what to do.”

“What are you going to do now?”

“We have to take Sudlet, rally Germania, and eradicate the parasite.”

“Is that possible?”

Is it possible?

“We have to make it possible.”

The Duke of Sudret was exiled and isolated.

I have regained the right of succession to the family name Sudret.

However, this does not mean that Sudret has passed on to me.

‘The duke intends to use me. For a very short time.’

The reason why the duke reaped me.
