I’m Going to Destroy this Country

“I will never do it again…”

“Good, again.”

“I will never enjoy the pain of my family again… No, but you’re the one who teased first…”

“What did you say?”

“No… It was delightful.”

“Good.”

Isaac put away the rattle with a satisfied face.

Then Shuri leaned against the wall as if he would die. This bastard Isaac. If he teases twice, there won’t be any life left!

But well, Shuri could understand. Honestly, if he were teased with marriage talk, he would be pissed…

“Who dares to act like an older brother! You’re 800 years too early, Kim Shuri!”

Is that the problem! Shuri looked at Isaac as if dumbfounded.

That wasn’t all. Isaac pointed at Kina and raised his voice.

“Moreover, who told you to bring the Pope’s grandson into the house! Do you want to die!”

Shuri grabbed the back of his neck.

“I didn’t bring him!”

“Shuri said it’s okay to greet the head of the Blue House.”

“You did bring him!”

Damn it! It’s unfair! When did I say to greet him at home? I said to do it when he’s at the Papacy!

Why are these bastards only bothering me?!

Of course, the people of the residence and the nobles visiting Eshua were very surprised by Kina’s visit.

‘Kina Berit came to greet the head of the Blue House?’

‘Could it be that’s the intention of the Pope?’

They were in an uproar, wondering if the Pope’s grandson came all the way here because of Isaac, but Isaac actually seemed displeased with Kina.

So in fact, Shuri didn’t understand. Just the fact that Kina abandoned Berit and visited Eshua would become a huge issue.

It would be fine to take advantage of it a bit…

“Eshua, you should marry Berit! Become a family with me!”

Ah… No wonder he’s displeased.

And perhaps because of the sudden news of Isaac’s matchmaking, the main residence was already in an uproar.

“Young master Isaac is having a matchmaking!”

At the unexpected event, all the family members were protesting to the elders.

“It can’t be young master!”

“Marriage for Isaac!”

“That’s right, not Isaac!”

Even Goel, who hated Isaac, joined in saying it doesn’t make sense. So Shuri looked at them, including his father, as if surprised.

‘…That bastard Isaac. You got pretty close with the family while staying in the capital…’

“If we marry off that guy, it will be a disgrace to the family!”

“Isaac’s personality is not suitable!”

“If we send him to another house, he will ruin their family.”

…Isaac. You’re being worried about in many ways.

And at the family’s reaction, Isaac was very dumbfounded. Honestly, if you judge by personality, the people of this house have bigger problems.

But it’s true that the news of the matchmaking wasn’t pleasant for Isaac.

‘How old am I?’

He has no interest in mere young kids, and above all, an arranged marriage in a holy family?

Then the other party is also a priest, right?

Are you crazy? I’d rather have a fake marriage with the Magic Empire or a dragon.

[Wasn’t there a dragon that used to chase after you, Master?]

That was chasing me to kill me.

And judging from the family’s reaction, this doesn’t seem to be a normal situation.

“In the first place, Isaac is 11 years old. There’s no way they wouldn’t know he’s too young to discuss marriage.”

The one who said this was Lilai, frowning.

Of course, he did go on about personality, but in fact, there was a real reason they were being sensitive.

‘There are more guests than usual. There are even people I’m seeing for the first time.’

Certainly, during the New Year, from branch families to various nobles visit the Eshua main residence.

But even so, do you think just anyone can enter Eshua?

Although compared to other Ducal families, it’s still one of the Five Major Families that support the Empire. The guests should state their intention and purpose of the visit and receive permission from a family member.

What does that mean?

It means someone in the family allowed visits with the ‘purpose of matchmaking’.

And who would that be?

‘For Eshua men, marriage mostly means leaving the family.’

In other words, the work of those who want to send Isaac out of Eshua!

‘There’s only one person who would do this!’

It’s the other direct descendants aiming for the position of the head of Eshua!

As expected, they immediately headed towards the inner part of the residence.

“Lilai!”

After passing through buildings the size of a village and a spacious Blue garden, the inner quarters that only the main family could use appeared. It was a place Isaac, who grew up only in the tower, had never entered before.

Finally, as Lilai entered the inner quarters and opened the huge door, a wide hall appeared.

Bang!

As soon as he opened the door, he raised his voice.

“Brother, were you trying to sell Isaac to another noble family?!”

At Lilai’s shout, the people inside turned their heads. Isaac, who followed closely behind, also peeked his head out.

‘Oh.’

Inside were people Isaac had never seen before in his life.

‘Are those the other siblings?’

New Year’s Day is when the direct descendants of Eshua return to the main residence. In fact, there were faces inside that looked somewhat familiar.

Whisper laughed loudly.

[Heh, it’s clear who has the Saintess’s bloodline and who has the Pope’s bloodline. Scumbags.]

It was as Whisper said.

Inside were three men and two women, a total of five. They had silver and brown hair.

If the silver-haired ones with the Saintess’s bloodline were dog-like, the brown-haired ones with the Pope’s bloodline were cat-like.

Moreover, as if to show they were Eshua’s bloodline, they all had outstanding appearances. The women had heavenly looks, and the men were tall and slender, as if looking like elves.

But among those outstanding people, the one who stood out the most was definitely Isaac. Everyone’s gaze was focused not on Lilai, but on Isaac.

The one Lilai was glaring at was a man who resembled Goel. Compared to Goel, who has a crooked nouveau riche scoundrel vibe, he looks suave, but has a slightly frivolous and playboy-like impression.

Noel Eshua.

The fourth of Eshua, Isaac’s uncle.

[That bastard, right? The one who used a magician to target your and that idiot’s lives at the Gold Pentagon.]

Yes, the scoundrel who covets the position of head the most.

And probably the person who hates Isaac the most.

As expected, Lilai’s eyes turned fierce.

“It’s you, Brother Noel, right? The one who allowed the visit of those people outside. Matchmaking, are you in your right mind?”

Then Noel snickered.

“What’s the problem? I just called them because they said they were all interested in the youngest.”

Lilai was dumbfounded.

“Isaac is not even 16 yet!”

“What does age matter? The youngest is Eshua’s top talent who even made a contract with the Supreme God. Since he’s already doing the work of an adult, I just wanted to give him a spouse.”

“What the hell?”

As Lilai opened his eyes wide, Noel laughed loudly as if it was funny.

“What, are you angry? Someone who can’t even have children, you like playing house with your nephew that much?”

Lilai clenched his fist as if pissed off.

Then Benjamin, the second son, entered the inner quarters and joined in.

“Noel. You went too far by proceeding with things on your own.”

Noel lifted the corners of his mouth.

“Oh my, the dumb second son who can’t even succeed the head position because he’s not capable is here too?”

“You damn bastard?”

Seeing the fourth son amiably scratching Lilai and Benjamin, Isaac clicked his tongue.

Wow, this isn’t something you should scold me for having a bad personality? There was a real scumbag here. I thought there was no such guy in Eshua, but it was obvious at a glance.

‘The relationship between the Saintess’s bloodline and the Pope’s bloodline is terribly bad.’

Whisper also clicked his tongue, saying it’s a bean powder house.

[Why was the Pope’s bloodline mixed into the Saintess’s family in the first place?]

‘It’s Eshua’s abyss. Don’t try to know deeply.’

Well, he said that, but the Pope must have inserted it. To devour Eshua.

‘Eshua’s value is that great.’

In fact, that fourth son seems to covet the head’s position terribly. Why else would he try to kill his nephew and even send him out as a son-in-law to kick him out of the house?

But regardless of the circumstances, does it seem possible?

‘The head’s position. It’s mine, damn it.’

Grandpa cherishes me so much. I’m being so good.

[…Master. Where’s your conscience?]

Why! Honestly, isn’t the Skeleton King better than that unfilial bastard?

[No, they’re both the same…]

Ah, why! Still, it’s better to have the house taken away by the nemesis than him!

[Is it really better…?!]

Then, the fourth son Noel looked at Isaac.

As if asking when he scratched his siblings’ nerves, he reached out his arms towards Isaac and approached.

“So you’re Isaac! Is this our first meeting?”

As the sibling’s gaze fell on Isaac, Lilai and Benjamin flinched.

That crazy bastard, with what intention is he pretending to be close to Isaac?

There were already rumors that the head of the Blue House was selecting him as a strong candidate for the next head. There’s no way he would view Isaac favorably.

Noel, who approached Isaac with a welcoming smile, grinned.

“Wow, nice to meet you. Nice to meet you… You really don’t resemble the eldest brother at all?”

“!”

“Are you really of Eshua’s bloodline?”

At those words, everyone flinched.

Saints are produced from Eshua, but sometimes they are born outside. In that case, they would match them with an Eshua direct descendant who has the Saintess’s blood and power and awaken them as a Saint. Isaac’s mother, who was the Saintess of this generation, was exactly that case.

In such cases, they are treated as outsiders because they are not from Eshua, but still. Suddenly bringing that up?

‘Putting salt on the wound of a child who lost his parents.’

But Isaac actually smiled brightly.

“Ah, are you Uncle Noel? I heard a lot about you.”

There’s no way he wouldn’t understand what was said about being an illegitimate child. As Isaac smiled nonchalantly, Noel snorted as if to show this.

“A naive little kid…”

“I heard you got beaten by Grandpa after being at the Berit villa. I guess you’re doing well? Your mouth is still alive?”

“?!”

At Isaac’s chilling smile, everyone was shocked and their mouths fell open.

‘Isaaac!’

What kind of language is that to your uncle…!

Shuri, no, all the other Eshua members there couldn’t close their mouths. It was enough to make the smile disappear from Noel’s lips.

“What did you just say?”

But Isaac’s eyes flashed as if it was trivial. He had no intention of being nice to those who were after what was his.

And the Pope’s bloodline at that? Enough said.

“I asked if you haven’t been beaten enough since your snout is still alive, you brat?”

Do you want to get beaten by the rattle?
