Chapter 47 - Volume 3 Chapter 14 The Guide Sows Seeds of Revenge
Volume 3 Chapter 14 The Guide Sows Seeds of Revenge After being burned by the golden spear, the guide was bridling with revenge.
“Liam... I will never forgive you...”
However, there was one problem.
As Liam currently was, it would be extremely difficult to drop him into hell.
Renowned as a virtuous ruler, he was constantly sending off disgusting positive emotions towards the guide.
It wouldn’t be easy to take revenge on him.
But that’s not to say it wasn’t possible.
So what should he do?
“There are a lot of people who have a grudge against Liam. I’ll find them and sow the seeds of revenge.”
While grasping at his chest in pain, the guide used his power to
The conclusion Eulisia came to was to aim for the period after Liam had graduated from the military academy and was conscripted into service.
During that period, the army would dispatch a lieutenant to be Liam’s aide.
Only the elite among the female officers would be chosen.
If she didn’t have the appearance, ability, and everything else required, she wouldn’t be the one selected.
To reach that position, ordinary results wouldn’t be enough.
After all, a large number of female officers that had entered the military actually hailed from the Banfield house.
There were many there who achieved excellent results at the academy and have been specifically groomed to be Liam’s aide.
If she half-assed things here, she wouldn’t even be considered.
With this in mind– Eulisia had decided to join the special forces.
After completing this rigorous training, harsh missions involving live-combat would be waiting for her.
If she could somehow complete those as well, she’d be practically guaranteed to be Liam’s lieutenant.
And after that... she’d get Liam infatuated with her and throw him away this time.
Although she wasn’t really abandoned last time, this was a problem of Eulisia’s pride.
The guide’s assumption of her goals– were wrong.
“I will turn things around. For that end, I’ll make sure to investigate him thoroughly.”
Throughout her rigorous training, her thoughts were always filled with Liam.
Said training was almost finished.
Once it was over, only live battles were waiting for her.
Although she could have just given up and pursued a normal person’s happiness, Eulisia only had Liam on her mind.
“If I want to entice him this time, first, I need to look into his tastes.”
A colleague who saw Eulisia creepily grinning in front of the mirror squealed out in fear.

The guide stood on top of a building in the imperial capital.
“Let’s continue sowing more seeds! More and more! At least one of them has to eventually reach Liam!”
But he had overlooked something.
The couldn’t help but feel that way for some reason.
“Well until that time, let’s just continue to save up power.”
Liam’s gratitude was burning his body even now.
The guide continued to wait for an opportunity to exact his revenge while absorbing the negative emotions of the imperial capital.
◇ ◇ ◇
What the guide had missed– was that there were others who wanted revenge against Liam.
The Berkley family.
The family executives were attending a meeting as holograms in the dimly lit conference room.
All of them were the children of the Berkley family’s boss.
“Derrick was killed.”
To the boss’ words, the executives started to complain about Derrick.
“That bastard lost one of our planetary development devices.”
“We didn’t have any expectations for him anyways.”
“He even lost our forces. He truly was useless.”
The boss had a cat-like creature in his arms– it was something that he truly cherished.
“My cute son was killed... so shut up.”
A blue vein had appeared on the boss’ forehead.
“There’s an idiot out there who picked a fight with our family.”
Liam’s face was then projected into the middle of the conference room.
“Pirate hunter Liam?”
“The child prodigy from the fallen Banfield house?”
“Let’s kill him immediately.”
As the executives broke out in commontion, the boss swung down his fist with a bang.
The cat-like creature was surprised, but soon settled down after being petted.
“Our business has suffered due to this guy’s pirate hunting for some time now. I’ve always wanted to get rid of him, even before this.”
In the underworld, a huge bounty was placed on Liam’s head to gather pirates in hopes of hunting him down.
The fools rushed towards Liam for the prize, but all of them were met with nothing but death.
There was once a time when pirates scrambled towards Liam’s territory in haste– but now none of them were brave enough to challenge him now, this wouldn’t change even if the bounty was raised.
Because all the death-defying idiots who had tried so far had been slain before they even encountered Liam himself.
“We’ll be going to war against the Banfield house in the future. Threaten all the nobles who see this as an opportunity and force them to decide whose side they’ll take.”
The boss decided to increase his allies to defeat Liam.
This in itself showed how dangerous of a threat he saw Liam as.
“Father! We can do this even without them!”
One of the sons came forward and offered to take care of Liam.
But he was stopped,
“We’ve already lost Derrick to him. From here on, we’re not going to waste anymore of our energy on idiotic things.”
The boss looked at Liam’s profile and smiled,
“Brat... when you pick a fight with the Berkley family, don’t think you’ll be able to walk away scot-free.”
In a place Liam wasn’t even aware of, the embers of war were spreading.
