The Priest of Corruption - Chapter 102
Batis Draco.
Batis Draco.
Batis Draco, the three princes of the Dragon Kingdom.
Actually, he wasn’t that great. He was just lucky enough to be born as the son of an extremely powerful dragon king, inheriting the blood of the dragon race.
He was politically pushed not only by his older sister and older brother, but also by his younger sister, who was born after him.
Of course, under the never-ending reign of the Demon Dragon King, which has continued for more than 500 years, the position of the children did not mean much.
Despite being a great pathetic wife, the Demon Dragon King was extremely indifferent to his children. The reason he had children was because his four wives wanted them in the first place.
In addition, the dragon king’s wives also gave birth to children out of concern for their own political position or position in preparation for the dragon king’s sudden death or serious illness. I realized that there would be no
The Demon Dragon King always treated them with great care. Unlike himself, the Dragon King always showed special affection to his wife, who was slowly aging. In this way, the Dragon King’s first and second wives died of natural causes of old age, and after a long period of time, the third and fourth wives who married him saw the case of his first and second wives and saw how old they were. Even if he did, he realized that his position would not be threatened.
As a result, the two had one child each with the Dragon King, as was the tradition of the two wives before, but the Dragon King’s two wives were not particularly interested in the child they had given birth out of a sense of duty. I just think about how to repay the man who loves me so much every day.
That’s how Batisse Draco grew up in the indifference of his parents. It wasn’t that he didn’t have one. There were many people in the royal family of the Dragon Kingdom, and they did their best to educate and take care of Batis.
Until he runs into accidents to get his parents’ attention.
The first time he skipped classes for the first time and was taken away by his teacher who came to call him, he was called and scolded by his mother for the first time in a long time. A mother’s interest that I didn’t feel when I was in class quietly.
Batis wanted that attention. So he constantly crashes.
Extremely rude, extremely arrogant, extremely dissolute.
He soon realized that his ways were wrong. The first few times she called and scolded her directly, but when she realized that her words didn’t work, she cut off even that feeble interest altogether.
In addition, he was stigmatized by the people of the royal family as an idiot who only believed in his status and went wild. He was always compared to his siblings. Especially with her younger sister, Rusona Draco, who aren’t that far apart in age.
extreme stress. Batis, who had just entered puberty, was so completely perverted. No matter how you live, no one will be interested in you, so you just want to pursue the pleasure in front of you.
Fortunately, the blood flowing in his body was great, and he also had a thick pocket that did not dry out under the support of the royal family of the Dragon Kingdom.
So Batis came out of the royal palace and headed to the streets. There, he was the one who received more attention than anyone else and shone more splendidly than anyone else. Unlike life in the royal palace, where you are compared to others and oppressed.
He spent every day in the arms of the women he bought with money. Unlike my mother and father, with the women who look only at me and smile.
How long did you spend like that? Even in the most dissolute and dissolute life, Batis always felt that something was missing. And it wasn’t long before he realized what he lacked.
After seeing his younger sister, Rusona Draco, appointed as an envoy to the Empire, he went out with his father and mother to see him off.
father’s and mother’s attention. Still he was thirsty for parental attention. But the debauchery and dissolute life he had led so far had left him nothing, really nothing.
But he had countless backstreet women who gathered after seeing his money and status. Batis brought out his troubles to them.
“How can I get my father to do the work for me too?”
To that question, most of the women responded with a burst of laughter.
“To my brother? What does the Dragon King do? Maybe that would be a bit difficult? He only sees ability!”
“what?!”
When Batis deliberately expressed resentment at their answer, the girls just laughed once more and whispered to lead him to play. Batis pretended not to win and followed them to play. He was still the most noble of the Dragon Kingdom.
One day when I habitually threw a question to women, a woman answered.
“If it’s a problem because your brother’s abilities aren’t enough, can’t you borrow the help of your mother’s family for things like marriage? If the family of the woman who marries her brother is extremely proud, even the Demon Dragon King will have no choice but to pay some attention to her brother. Besides, when communicating with that family, I entrust my brother with the work…”
The woman stopped talking and quickly stopped at the sharp eyes of the other women, who were wary of losing a customer overflowing with this money, but her words It had been a long time since it had already been so attractively implanted in the depths of Batis’ heart.
He put all the money he had brought into the heart of the woman who had given him the answer, and immediately returned to the palace to gather information about influential families in other countries.
Especially for families with daughters whose marriage has not yet been decided.
Then, Batis recklessly sent letters with marriage proposals to influential families with overaged daughters. A batch of letters with the same contents.
Naturally, such actions were easily transmitted to the ears of other families. The background of the dragon kingdom behind him and the position of the three princes may have been the object of respect within the dragon kingdom, but to the great nobles of other countries, it did not mean much.
In addition, to offer a precious daughter to an insincere marriage proposal that was sown not only to one’s own family but also to several families at the same time was something that no noble would welcome and would be laughed at by other nobles for generations.
In that way, Batis’s room was filled with only letters containing polite refusals. However, the child who received less education did not understand why the current situation was going like this.
“how! Where the hell am I lacking!!!”
His roomy imagination of trying to choose the best family out of countless women collapsed like that. A shocked Batis was about to lock himself in his room when a letter arrived. A letter with completely different contents from other letters.
The letter contained the contents of accepting your marriage proposal in a polite tone, and the contents of the wife-to-be, who had run away from home, and asked her to take her and marry her.
It was an extremely strange reply to the marriage proposal, but Batis was overjoyed at this one and only acceptance, took a load of money and flew away.
Heading to the northern kingdom where the family that answered his marriage proposal is located.
***
Boom!!!
At that time, when Beatus was surrounded by a black membrane. The choice Batis made was extremely simple. Sensing a threat to his life from the mysterious phenomena that covered Beatus, he completely shook off his thoughts about Dakia and transformed into a huge dragon, carrying Hilden and flying up into the sky.
Then, after colliding with a black film that appeared out of nowhere, it fell and rolled on the floor.
“It hurts!!!”
Hilden, the man who was the head of the eastern branch of Ilech, now ruined, looked at the dragon prince and shook his head.
“Can’t you pierce that?”
“Wait a minute.”
The dragon answered with bright yellow scales, flapping its wings and opening its gigantic mouth. At the same time, bright yellow light began to gather at the dragon’s mouth.
Hilden burst into admiration at the overwhelming sight. It was clear that the real prince would be respected by many people as long as he didn’t open his mouth, he wouldn’t show his pitiful contents.
Kwaaaaang!!!
Bright yellow rays soared into the air and collided with the black membrane. At the end of the collision, a small hole was formed in the black membrane. A hole barely big enough for one person to get through. And the hole disappeared, covered in a black film that recovered in an instant, as if it had never existed.
Batis’ eyes darkened.
This was the first time ever. It was a real shock to him that he hadn’t been able to break through a barrier like that, as there had never been anything he couldn’t easily do with his dragon body.
He shrank in an instant and returned to his human form, put on his clothes and asked Hilden.
“Now what do I do…? Are we stuck here?”
Hilden nodded.
“I guess that’s the case, but… First of all, I’ll have to think of some countermeasures. Isn’t this absolutely normal? My guess is that it has something to do with the worshipers of the evil gods running amok in the Northern Kingdom these days.”
At Hilden’s skillful judgment, who had been living in the back world, Batis felt that it was a good idea to save the real boy and bring him back. In fact, to him, Hilden was the first vassal who never left him even though he complained every time, so he felt a great attachment to him.
“Oh, but wouldn’t that cause a problem with that theater too? If I go to rescue Dakia, Dakia will see me in a new way…”
“Absolutely not.”
Hilden gave advice without hesitation to the dragon prince who still did not realize the reality.
“When I look at the eyes of the princess looking at the priest named Marnak, who is standing right next to me, they look exactly like the eyes my wife used to look at me when she was young.”
“What does that mean?”
“I am completely in love right now. Perhaps even if Prince Batis was an incredibly cool and decent person, he would not have been able to seduce the current Princess of Dacia. So, stop thinking that doesn’t work.”
“but!!!”
Hilden clicked his tongue at Batis’ harsh answer.
“Tsk tsk. Besides, what was the reason for your crush? Do you like being cold to yourself? To be honest, there are many women in the northern kingdom who would do such a role-play for a lot of money. That’s why you put aside your feelings for Gongnyeo early on and think about how to get out of this situation with me.”
“But…”
Batis narrowed her eyes and glared at Hilden.
“I think you just sneakily turned me around and mocked me for not being a proper person.
“Hahaha…”
Hilden laughed awkwardly and thought of an excuse. A man ran across town. The man looked at Hilden and Batis alternately, then looked at Batis and spoke without hesitation.
“Are you the prince of the Dragon Kingdom?”
Batis knew well who the man in front of him was. Black wild dog Carmen Baltas. Dacia’s colleague. He looked down at Carmen in front of him and said.
“Yes, I am Batis Draco. The three princes of the Dragon Kingdom. But what is it?”
Carmen said vigorously with her eyes shining.
“Just now, I saw that he transformed himself into a dragon and worked hard to save Beatus! Now we are rallying the surviving survivors, so could you help us a little?”
“Why am I… ugh?!”
Hilden covered Prince Batis’ mouth, who was about to say no, and whispered into his ear.
“If things go well, it’s an opportunity for great fame. A chance to pay off a huge debt to the Northern Realms! Say you’ll find out right away! You can’t even get out right now, can you?”
Batis’ head spun quickly. Erase a big debt to the northern kingdom? Did you get a reputation there?
This was a chance to get his father and Dacia to see him again. According to his research, the black wolf Carmen Baltas would gladly spread the word about his devotion.
Batis removed Hilden’s hand from covering her mouth and smiled broadly.
“It’s good. ‘I’ will help you especially ‘you’! All in good faith!”
***
“It’s exhausting. Should I… beat this… just…”
Another engagement. The fleshy tentacles sprouted constantly, and very few were able to remove them without much damage. As a result, of course, Batis had to continue the battle with the tentacles without a break.
A woman came into his eyes when he returned to the base of the survivors to rest for a while after his shift.
Dacia Irmel, the silver-haired and golden-eyed woman.
And next to him was a bastard called Marnak, who was attached like a leech.
Before he could even scream, Dakia shouted out loud.
“Dad’s here? Besides, is he sane?!”
