The Strongest Dull Prince’s Secret Battle for the Throne

Chapter 16: Price of the Plan

The scene I saw when I transferred in was Elna fighting what seems to be a group of two vampires.

That much, I wouldnt be surprised.

What surprised me was that Finne was nearby.

She kept looking up while she climbed up the clock tower.

Then when she saw Elna hit the flute off from one of the vampires hands, she reached out and caught it.

The moment I saw that I already began to move.

Descending at maximum speed, I used as much magic as I could to descend toward Finne like a meteor.

The vampire that got his flute hit off his hand destroys the clock tower and Finne was thrown out.

At that time, Finne didnt reach her hand out to Elna but threw the flute toward her instead.

Her expression as she keeps falling looked satisfied. I hate that kind of expression so I accelerated even further.

Damn you!!

The vampire releases a magic bullet toward her.

The moment it is going to hit Finne, I blocked it and hugged her midair.

Confirming her warmth, I was relieved. I made it. I saved her in time.

This might be the most panicked I have been recently.

And..It has been a long time since I am this irritated.

You bastardto be able to cancel out my magic bullet, Who are you? Give me your name! !

..Adventurer under the imperial capital adventurer guild, SS-rank adventurer, SilverI have come to defeat you.

The anger infused into my quiet voice.

This is an oath. I will never let him escape.

Sil,ver-sama..?

.Dont force yourself.

I am really sorry I will not do such thoughtless things aga

.I will hear you out later. But.you did well. Leave the rest to me.

When I gently stroke her head, Finnes cheeks begin to dye red.

I put the still embarrassing Finne on the ground and stare up at the vampires on the sky.

Among the vampires, only two would plan such a large scale crime like this.

The vampire heretics that the guild placed a bounty on their heads. S-Class bounty, Sam and Dean brother.

Silver-sama! Good luck..

Yeah, leave it to me.

After answering her, I immediately soar to the sky.

This chapter upload first at NovelUsb.Com

Both Sam and Dean are on guard and stare at me.

Well, thats only natural. The condition to become an SS-rank adventurer was to defeat an S-rank monster. In other words, I have defeated something that is on the same level as them or even something stronger before.

To think that an SS-rank adventurer would show up here..I am surprised.

Damn it! Troublesome guys appearing one after another! Dont get in the way of Nii-chans plan, damn it! !

The shorter one that screamed out first is the younger Sam huh.

In other words, the stronger one is the Elder.

It is a surprise for me too. I thought that you guys were behaving yourselves when the guild put a bounty on your head. If you guys make a scene an SS-rank adventurer would come for you after all. Are you tired of living in fear?

Dont make fun of us! We were just being careful!

But it seems like your patient ran out huh. The garrison force and the knights will deal with the monsters, and since I am already here, your plan is over.

Hmph! Do you think you have won? You took the flute away but what of it? The monsters are still rampaging, if we defeat you and the hero here it will be our win! !

What is up with these guys.

They want to fight me and Elna at the same time?

Surprised, I glance at Elna. She is making an unamused expression.

You are looking down on me huh. Even though they barely able to fight with me together.

Its you who is looking down on us! We are still havent got serious yet!

Then show me! I will destroy you in the name of Amsberg!

No, Elna von Amsberg. I know that you are enthusiastic about this but the one who is going to put them down is me.

I said that while looking at Elna who is taking a cool stance with her sword.

Hearing so, Elna turned toward me.

She knitted her eyebrows and her expression is saying that she finds me unbelievable. Thats not an expression that should be on a girls face anymore.

Silver? I dont know if there is something wrong with my ears but I felt like you said that you want to steal my prey?

I dont remember putting it like that. There might be something wrong with your ears after all. If you are a knight then go protect the Emperor. I will be their opponent.

You! The meaning is the same isnt it! Its you who should back down! I set my eyes on them first!

The Emperors surrounding seems unprotected though?

It is the order from that same Emperor! And I cant forgive them! They said the words that I hate the most! I already decided to cut them down myselfBack down or I will cut you down too.

Scary.

Isnt she completely enraged. What did they say to her? Seriously.

And I want her to go assist Leo too.

Ha! so carefree huh. Isnt it good that a hero and an SS-rank adventurer are here? Now we are nice and equal right?

Equal? I think that you are completely outnumbered though?

Silver. Dont you know what the situation is like below? Even now the Emperor might get killed you know? It couldnt be helped since that hero over there seem like she wants to fight with us no matter what. How about you go help him instead? If you are an adventurer of the imperial capital, the Emperor must be important to you right?

Certainly, they are outnumbered now.

It is better for one of us to go down and help them. If its now that is.

However, these guys have a huge misunderstanding.

I do not belong to the empire. I belong to the guild. Adventurers work to protect people across the continent but we are not obliged to protect their nation. We werent accepting payment from the countries after all. Honestly, it doesnt matter to me even if the Emperors life ends here.

What?

If you dont want him to die then you just have to have someone else protect him. I am here to protect this city and its people, not the privileged. I am protecting the people of this country not the country itself. There must be those who were living off the tax money or those that were promised some kind of position in this country. It is the duty of those imperial family and their knights to protect the empire. If they do not work now then theres no worth to their existence. Thats why I will never perform that job for them.

Their job?

Dean seems to question my wording.

And as if to immediately answer his question, they appeared.

At the south of Kiel.

The sound of feet kicking the ground was heard from the other side of the horde of monsters. Like the sound of lightning, the sound is gradually getting louder. Then one of the members of the imperial family appeared.

That is!?

Knights! I, the 8th Prince Leonard Lakes Adler command you! Protect the city of Kiel! ADVANCE! !

Saying so, Leo led the charge with thousands of knights.

The monsters couldnt react to the sudden appearance of the knights.

Sam and Dean tried to put them to a stop but I and Elna stand in front of them.

Silver, lets do it like this. I will give that one to you, this one is mine.

Thats a good proposal. I accept.

Once we settled on our target, we prepare for battle.

Below, the knights led by Leo sweep away the monsters like a flood. The agitated monsters cant see anything except what is in front of them. Theres no way for them to react when they are attacked from the side.

Well, after a while they should be considered the reinforcement as a threat and begin their counterattack. It should be fine for now though.

In the meantime, lets get rid of this guy.

Now the Defence of Kiel has entered its final phase.

Kuh! Damn you HUMAN!!

Dean unleashes countless magic bullet while moving around but I follow after him while intercepting them.

The sky shines bright like theres a firework.

Dean seemed to be frustrated by that scene.

It seems these guys really werent serious when they were fighting with Elna. He is clearly increased in power. Perhaps he was saving his power to get away but it seems thats no longer an option anymore so he finally got serious.

Dean approaches me with the vampire characteristic sharp fangs.

He must have judged that he cant beat me in a magic fight. As expected, he is really used to fighting.

Tsk!

I clicked my tongue while using magic to intercept him but he splendidly evades it.

I was thinking about widening some distance but before I could do that, Dean punched me in the gut.

Guh!

Ha! Whats wrong!? SS-rank adventurer!

Shut up!

He avoided the magic that I fired in return and circle around my back.

This is bad. I used magic to protect my body.

He put his hands together and slam it down at me.

Feeling a shock like I was hit by a hammer, I felt the impact of my body hitting the city street.

Thats hurt! Dont just do whatever you want damn it.

Whats wrong? Cant you do anything against the serious me?

The heck are you doing!? You are not that strong right!? Are you still holding back? You are still holding back right!! Do you think that your stance is so cool or something? Its super lame!!

Being looked down by the opponent, and my ally somehow bad mouthing me.

Seriously, being an adventurer is not that easy.

However, I will accept this much.

For my precious brother and the knights that got involved in this for his sake. For the soldier that should be running away but chose to stay and fight.

And for the people in this city.

If it is for them I wont feel even an itch to this level of pain.

However, there is a limit to how irritated I can be.

Hmph! I was a fool for being afraid and hide away from the likes of you! You are just human in the end!

So you really were in hiding. Even vampires have their low point huh.

Saying so, I stand up as if nothing has happened.

Theres no wound on my body. Of course, theres no damage either.

Dean was surprised by that but he immediately noticed that his surroundings were strange.

Guwahhh!! MY ARM! ! Ah, ARe?

Ouch! Ouch.? It healed?

Not only the garrisons force fighting at the wall of Kiel but also the knights led by Leo who assaulted the horde of monsters, no one has died ever since I showed myself here.

If you get hurt, you will instantly recover.

You bastard..!? Dont tell me, you were fighting while erecting a healing barrier!?

You are half right.

The things I cast was not just the healing barrier.

When I arrived, I formed a healing barrier and started fighting while maintaining that barrier while preparing another magic.

And that preparation is now completed.

I was fighting while casting two barrier spells. Well, the other one was just completed though.

At that moment,

A huge magic circle emerges from the whole city of Kiel. From there countless chains sprout out and tied up Dean and Sam.

Wha!? This is!!

Damn it! Let me go!!

You cant break it. Those chains were formed with ancient curse magic. Those who got entangled by those chains will be weakened by the curse. Well..have you prepare yourselves yet?

Punching me all over when I was busy preparing the barrier.

Now its time for a punishment.
