Overgeared Chapter 714:
Chapter 714
‘Where did it go wrong?’
Recently, Kasim’s worries had been deepening . It was because Prince Lord was quite wicked at age 5 . His actions were gradually becoming perverse . Was it a cause for concern? Yes, it was . If Lord was a normal child, his spiteful nature wouldn’t be a problem . What 4~8 year old didn’t act out? Lord was the same as children of the same age .
The problem was that Lord wasn’t normal . His innate intelligence was extraordinary enough to understand when taught and his talent was outstanding enough to adapt quickly to any field . Looking at him, Kasim was convinced that Lord would become a legend in the future . Was that all? He even had power . It was a serious problem for such a smart and influential person to have a spiteful nature .
Look at what happened just before . He had Yang Fei in his hand and Yang Fei wasn’t able to resist simply because Lord was a prince .
‘It is still at the level of a joke . ’
But what if Lord became eviler?
‘A prince’s joke can ruin a person’s life . ’
The King of Shadows had made assassination as his business and knew the dark side of the world . He saw how dangerous crooked power was .
‘I worked **** his emotional education but . . . ’
Kasim wasn’t Lord’s only teacher . The legendary farmer Piaro, Sage Sticks, Blacksmith Khan, and occasionally Pope Damian all taught Lord . They all tried to instill the correct way of thinking into Lord . Piaro taught him how to understand the minds of farmers and soldiers, Sticks taught him the moral sense of the whole species, Khan the unassuming spirit of a craftsman, and Damian the spirit of faith . Nevertheless, Lord was gradually becoming distorted .
‘This is a serious problem . ’
Kasim had started guarding Lord right after he was born . He no longer recognized Lord as a means of going against the empire and thought of Lord as his own child . That’s why he was more worried . However, he didn’t have an idea of how to fix Lord’s crooked character . Fortunately, his worries were quickly resolved .
“Huh? What? My Lord . Did you suffer from studying today?”
King Grid returned from a war . He saw the sweat and dirt on Lord and anxiously hugged him .
“It’s good to study hard, but I would rather you make a lot of friends and play around . Lord is still young . You don’t have to live with excessive responsibility . ”
“Father . . . ”
Lord’s eyes turned red as he was hugged by Grid . The best genius of the continent, the only successor to the Overgeared Kingdom, a legend’s descendant, etc . Lord had the expectations of millions of people on him since he was born and had always been compelled to fulfill these expectations .
It was always stressful . He felt resentment that he was overworked just because of his father and his natural talent . But Lord wasn’t able to express this to anyone . He was afraid of disappointing the people around him and didn’t want to disgrace his great father . Yet at this moment . . .
"I will be happy if Lord is healthy and happy . I want Lord to make a lot of good friends rather than being alone . It would be great if my Lord is always happy and makes other people happy . ”
“ . . . ”
The most respected and loving father in the world was revealing his heart .
Kkuok . . .
Lord buried his face in Grid’s chest and bit his lip . He was trying to stop himself from crying . At the age of 5, Lord had started to become skewed from his burdens . This little boy was getting his act together today .
‘Father, I’ll study harder from today onwards . I won’t make other people embarrassed . I will be a great person like Mother . ’
The smell of iron from his father’s arms was too good . The feeling of his father’s large and rugged hands stroking his head made Lord feel happy . Lord barely managed to hold back his tears and smiled . Kasim gave a warm smile from where he was watching in the shadows .
‘I can’t fill a father’s role . ’

“You’re safe . ”
Grid’s office .
Lauel came to see Grid . He was still unfamiliar with the sight of Grid whispering to Lord in his arms . Wasn’t it just a few months ago that Grid was trying to teach Lord everything? Grid laughed bitterly .
“Whenever I see a sweaty young child, I’m reminded of Sehee . ”
“Do you mean Ruby?”
“Yes . ”
A child who received the expectations of their parents due to her terrible brother . Sehee went to all types of private academies and would come home late at night . Grid knew how hard it was .
“There is no reason to be overworked just because a person is talented . Well, he needs the minimum level of education as a prince, but . . . ”
“It’s not that I don’t understand your mind . But Prince Lord will be the biggest power in the future of the Overgeared Kingdom . Stopping the gifted education will directly lead to weakening the power of the Overgeared Kingdom . . . ”
"Do I have to rely on my son? This time, I have obtained the political power stat . I will try harder, so let’s stop putting the burden on Lord . ”
“ . . . ”
Grid was trying to be more responsible since Braham left . At this moment, he realized he hadn’t been trying his best . He made up his mind to do even more .
"Have you decided on the strategy to attack the vampire cities?”
The named bosses sleeping in a vampire city dropped the best items . It was important to raise the power of the Overgeared Kingdom by occupying the vampire cities .
"Yes, I have excluded the 2nd city, which is believed to contain Marie Rose and the 1st city, which is estimated to have the highest level of difficulty, from the attack list . We will clear the remaining seven cities sequentially . ”
“The raid group members?”
"A party will be formed with Your Majesty and the viscount members . ”
The viscount members included the top members of the Tzedakah Guild: Jishuka, Pon, Regas, etc . There was also Peak Sword, Euphemina, Chris, and Katz .
“It’s great . . . ”
"At first, I thought to include a wider variety of people in the party . But I thought an overall power boost was necessary . ”
The empire failed to destroy Valhalla and the cause of the failure was placed on the Undefeated King’s descendant . Right now, they were afraid to approach Valhalla and might detour to the Overgeared Kingdom first . Lauel thought it would be better to raise the power of the Overgeared Kingdom .
"If the third advancement users don’t grow now, they won’t have the ability to deal with the solo number knights . I think it would be better to focus on raising the high level members in preparation for going against the empire . ”
Grid had directly witnessed the skills of the solo number knights and agreed .
“That’s true . . . ”
In particular, the growth of Chris, Faker, and Regas were necessary . If they became more powerful than they were now, maybe they could fight one on one with a solo number knight . Grid nodded and Lauel added .
"Ah, Ruby and Sexy Schoolgirl will also go with you . ”
" . . . Do they have time?”
“The two of them have decided to focus on Satisfy rather than their studies . ”
“Y-Yes . . . ”
Grid felt sorry for the vampires . And at this moment, Grid’s misfortune was triggered .
***
“ . . . ”
The national cemetery of the imperial capital, Titan . The Red Knights were gathered where the empire’s lords were sleeping . They were dressed in black mourning clothes . It was to honor their colleagues who died in the war against Valhalla .
“A moment of silence . ”
The black outfit made her white skin more noticeable . Mercedes bowed her head and everyone followed her .
" . . . Sir Lorex, I will surely avenge you . ”
“SIr Dia . . . I won’t forget your sacrifice . ”
“ . . . ”
The Red Knights started to sob . Pain filled their chests . However, their leader Mercedes was silent and didn’t shed any tears . Her role wasn’t to share in the sorrow, but to get revenge .
“Prepare to leave . ”
After the funeral . Mercedes broke through the heavy mourning and gave an order to her aide, Sky . At this moment, a quest window appeared in front of Sky .

An ugly smile appeared on Sky’s face . His gaze swept over Mercedes’ white neck .

"Three brothers have died . "
The nine direct descendants of Shizo Beriache . Among the vampires, they had transcendent power, but were under the Curse of Idleness . They spent most of their life sleeping . They belatedly received the news that Elfin Stone, Tiramet, and Latina had died .
"I don’t know about Tiramet and Latina, but I can’t believe Elfin Stone . . . ”
Earl Elfin Stone . The nine . No, if Braham was included, then Elfin Stone was one of the top members among the ten direct descendants .
"But to be killed by humans . . . ”
"Is it one of the rumored legends? People like Muller . ”
“Hasn’t it been a few hundred years? Muller and the other legends are long dead . ”
“Eh . . . ? Then who killed Elfin Stone . . . ? Um . . . Ummmm . . . ”
“ . . . Kuooh . . . Kuoooh . . . ”
“ . . . Drrrool!”
The direct descendants gathered after hundreds of years . Apart from Duchess Marie Rose and Marquis Fenrir, all of the direct descendants gathered in one place started to fall asleep . It was the fearful Curse of Idleness .
