I’m Going to Destroy this Country

-This crazy bastard!

The head of the Blue family had only told Isaac to return alive. He said it was okay even if they failed the mission, as long as they came back.

But what?

It wasn’t even Gold, but a brat from their own family tried to kill his grandsons?

The head of the Blue family was enraged, and for once, Goel stood up from his seat in a rare show of anger.

-How dare that brother of mine try to kill his own nephew, and not only Isaac!

-Brother! What are you saying! Isaac is also your nephew! Love them equally!

-Lilai, just shut up!

At that story, Isaac clutched his stomach and burst into laughter as if everything was going according to plan.

Good, very good!

If he wanted to become the family head, he had to first stir up trouble internally to prevent his enemies from uniting!

“Even Benjamin, the brain of Eshua, was furious in an unusual display. Since they angered the finance manager, the repercussions will be significant.”

“Finance?”

There was someone like that in Eshua?

However, Asili recalled the mansion with distaste.

-Whose side is this bastard on? Is he deliberately trying to ruin the Blue House now?!

-Benjamin?

-If Isaac fails his mission or dies, it’s a huge blow to the Blue’s image. This bastard has no inheritance! Restore him to society!

-I’m not dead yet.

-Father, please remain calm! It’s about financial matters!

-These corrupt bastards?

At that, Isaac erupted in anger like a madman.

You crazy priests!!!

“If you’re going to restore, do it to me! Here! To this righteous victim!”

This won’t do. I need to re-educate them and make them properly distribute the assets.

By the way, being in charge of finances? Did he really have such a pretty uncle?

Isaac seemed very curious about these unfamiliar family members, but Shuri just sighed.

“Why did the fourth uncle have to go to the Berit family’s villa of all places…”

“He probably did it on purpose.”

“What?”

“He stayed at the Gold House as a sign not to betray them.”

“…!”

Seeing the cunning intent, Isaac laughed derisively.

Even though he hadn’t seen his face yet, he seemed to be quite the schemer. And a rotten bastard.

[Just like the Master.]

Asili smiled bitterly.

“Thanks to him, the Gold must be in an awkward position too. And since all the direct Eshuas gather at the main house for the new year, you’ll probably run into the fourth uncle as well…”

Seeing Asili’s worried expression, Isaac tilted his head.

“Why?”

“Well, with this incident and others, the fourth uncle seems to be trying to kill you, young master Isaac, so I’m anxious.”

“Kill me? His nephew?”

“Yes. Young master Isaac told me that you’ve already been wounded by a demon, so you can handle them alone, right?”

Isaac, who was lying down, rolled his eyes.

Hmm, he actually lied to the nanny.

Should he really tell her that as a mere apprentice, he took down a demon alone 14 years ago? A senior knight would find that highly suspicious, right?

So he said that because he had been wounded before, Eshua’s sleeping pills worked relatively easily.

“Then the fourth uncle may have placed a curse on you. So that when you cut down the demon, you’ll be cursed.”

…A curse? Is that fourth bastard really an Eshua? Or is he an asshole?

[It doesn’t seem like something you should say, Master.]

What do you mean?

[You’re even worse.]

Shut up. I’m the nicest in the Eshua family.

However, Asili was deeply worried.

“The fourth uncle is obsessed with becoming the head of the family. He might try to eliminate you preemptively since you’re making a name for yourself…”

“Don’t worry, it wasn’t from a paladin. It was probably from the wild. No curses were placed on me.”

Asili was greatly surprised by those words.

If it wasn’t left by a paladin, then it couldn’t have been an easy demon to handle!

“Then you really did slay it fair and square, young master Isaac…!”

“I did, didn’t I? Anyway, I’ll have to take this to the Papacy to get it resolved.”

The Gold Pentagon scores points were based on the recaptures brought in. And the side with the highest score wins.

“With a demon like this, I’ll probably get a huge score? I have to be careful not to lose it.”

Soon, Asili seemed greatly surprised, and bowed her head apologetically.

“I will also escort and guard you. And thank you, young master, for slaying that demon.”

“Why you, Asili?”

“That demon was actually my personal enemy too. Back then when I was an apprentice, Lilai and I were on the same Blue team, and the friend of Lilai’s who was killed in the Gold Pentagon mission was my older brother.”

“Ah.”

So that’s what happened?

“Of course, we still have to find the other demon from 14 years ago…”

No. That one is a True Demon, so you guys can never catch it.

Come to think of it, it’s a bit troubling that the True Demon also released the demon beasts 14 years ago. It’s almost like they were trying to lure in Lilai or someone from Eshua, right?

‘Well, if they come to me, I can at least earn some merit, so that’s a good thing.’

How dare they nurture a fake Skeleton King?

Anyway, the mission was done for now. Isaac just needed to return safely and get evaluated.

However, Asili’s eyes sparkled.

“You seem to have the talent of a paladin, young master.”

No way. Paladins are the last thing I want to be.

Ash, whose power was sealed and dragged along by Isaac, also vigorously shook her head. How dare they call the Demon King a lowly Paladin?

Asili looked at Ash suspiciously and narrowed her eyes.

“By the way, young master… I’ve been wanting to ask, who is this person?”

Did she sense the demonic energy? Normally very gentle, but now her chilling green eyes seemed to scrutinize Ash’s true nature.

Her piercing gaze felt like it was stripping away Ash’s very skin, causing cold sweat to pour down her back.

‘She’s an incredibly strong senior knight.’

If found out, she could be exorcised.

As expected, seeing Ash’s pleading look, Isaac snorted derisively.

“Ah, this is the girl from the Magic Empire who tried to devour me.”

“Yes! That’s right! Tried to dev…cough?!”

Hearing that, Ash inwardly screamed.

No! O King! Why would you say that!

Soon feeling Asili’s increasingly fierce gaze threatening her life, Ash begged for Isaac to correct himself, but whether she did or not, Isaac ignored her.

‘It’s her punishment for trying to eat me.’

“But don’t worry too much about the fourth uncle, I know someone who can take care of it.”

…Someone to take care of it?

Shuri looked at Isaac with worry, but Isaac just tilted his head in puzzlement.

“But it’s strange. There should be one more place in chaos, but it’s quiet.”

“One more place?”

Then a letter flew in to Isaac.

‘!’

It was a levitating letter delivered by holy power.

Soon, when Isaac opened the letter, it floated up into the air and glowed brightly.

Asili immediately drew her sword fiercely.

‘That’s a summoning circle sacred technique!’

And one to summon a divine beast for attack at that. She had to be on guard.

But unexpectedly, what appeared before them was a person…

A person?

And a very precious person at that…?

“Isaac Eshua! You said you’d show me something fun, but what is this mischief!”

The enraged figure’s appearance made Isaac laugh derisively.

Our cute prince of the Magic Empire seems to be doing well.
