God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains - Chapter 198

Chapter 198: That Inquisitor is Interesting

In a large room that was filled with paintings and other decorative objects, a handsome man sat in front of the mirror as he admired his looks.

He turned to glance at his maid and pointed at a small pot in front of him, “Rub that thing on my face and tell me everything you learned from the lettered you read.”

“As you wish, my prince.” the maid said and walked over to him before grabbing the small pot that was placed in front of the mirror.

Inside, there was thick, condensed milk and she took some in her hand before applying it on his face. As she rubbed it onto this skin, she spoke.

“Both the Grand Dukes have arrived and are currently living inside our palace’s guest quarters. They have brought their eligible sons along with them and it looks like they wish to extend a marriage proposal for the youngest princess’s.

As for the Dukes, other than the ones who came her a few days ago, there isn’t any new news about recent arrivals. Apart from this, there isn’t anyone important that would concern you.”

The prince hummed as he felt the cold condensed milk getting rubbed on his face, “Hmm… tell me if any inquisitors or church officials come here. I’ve extended an invitation to a lot of them. Also, tell me about the movements of my siblings.”

As he mentioned his siblings, his expression turned serious and the maid paused for a fraction of a second before going back to what she was doing.

“I understand. One team of inquisitors did enter the capital and based on our information network’s letter, the leader of this group is Keith Zenister and they’re currently residing in the Blue Snow Inn. They came here last night and they don’t look like they have any plans to come out of that place for the time being.

Though, they also have Lady Amelia with them and it looks like her presence will cause some disturbance during the banquet. Should I send a letter to them stating that she’s not allowed?”

“There’s no rule that warrants a ban. Just because my brother is a donkey and was rejected by her in the past, it doesn’t mean that she’ll get banned from all events.” he said and chuckled before pointing at another pot in front of him.

“Use that one next.”

The maid nodded and did as she was told while she continued to speak, “As you wish, my prince. When it comes to your siblings… the first prince has almost no support from the nobles, but the royal army is very loyal to him as he’s their commander.

Fourth princess has been making progress with both the Grand Dukes’ sons so I’m assuming that she’ll get some support from these men.

On the other hand, if there’s anyone who’s been making the huge movements, then that would be the youngest princess. She’s been making connections left and right, using her status as the youngest princess.

A lot of nobles have agreed to support her as long as she allows their sons into her harem.”

“What an idiot she is…. she’s reducing her own chances by doing this. Doesn’t she know that father will give more importance to the one who picks a partner that has a similar awakened ability to them? While he didn’t explicitly say it, it should be common knowledge since all of our mothers have similar awakened abilities to father in one way other the other.”

He then chuckled before smirking, “One down, but looks like my sister is going a good job by picking those two losers. They were bred specifically to get married into the royal family so I won’t say that the grand dukes are dumb.

Those dogs know how to get their hands on the things they want but that won’t be enough. I’ll have to keep my eldest brother in mind but other than him, maybe I should keep my second brother in mind too. While his methods aren’t righteous, the results speak for themselves.”

“But prince… do you really wish to take part in this succession? There is a chance of you losing your life…”

“Heh, that won’t happen.” he said and took out a small badge from his pocket before showing it to her, “The war church has begun to make their move and it looks like their target is the Baroma Kingdom. We’ll easily get dragged into this war based on the information I received so my main goal at his point is to wait until my sister’s birthday.

That will be the day when the fight for succession starts and that will also be the day when I’ll be able to make a decision on whether I should take a side or fight for the throne. On top of that, you know about the rumors that have been spreading about Keith, that inquisitor.

He’s the one who got his team to win the training program one month prior to the day they planned to end the program. He was the one who won after everyone was disqualified, but almost no one has anything bad to say about him.

Instead, most of them praise him for all the help he provided them during the whole thing and it’s very intriguing. Based on his official documents, it’s said that he has an awakened ability that let’s him sense danger.

But there have been some rumors about him being able to shoot fire from his hands and this means that there is a high probability of a second awakening. Before the training program, no one saw or heard about him being able to shoot fire from his hands.

These rumors began after the training program was done and based on the scorch marks left at Baronet Clangson’s estate, we can tell that there was some form of fire usage in a wide area. And guess what? Keith was said to have helped the detectives of the church of protection.

While the reason for my invitation was his victory in the training program, the rumors make him more interesting. Send him a letter and ask him to come meet me.”
