The Sessor To The Underworld Is A Cheat yer 109
No matter how many times they looked, it didn’t be familiar.
“Even if they im to have given birth alone, I believe it.”
That face triggered Sein’s PTSD.
No, everyone in the main house would be the same as Sein.
“Prepare yourselves.”
This time, Rohan spoke to Jane and Sebu.
“Here is Cn Demorus, the heir apparent of the main family.”
Cn Demorus.
He was the sessor of the Demorus family, bearing the closest resemnce to Tezera.
In appearance, aura, and being said to carry the thickest bloodline, Cn was the one designated as the sessor.
“…!”
“I present the sessor.”
Startled, Sebu momentarily froze, speechless, while Jane naturally bowed her head in greeting.
“I present the sessor!”
Sebu btedly also bowed his head.
“And these?”
“They are the youngest members of the ck de.”
“They… are called Sebu.”
“And I am Jane.”
That was the end of it.
“I see.”
Cn, seemingly indifferent, moved forward, followed by Rohan.
Jane and Sebu hurriedly followed suit.
With Dante’s internals under control by Rohan’smand, they could move without encountering anyone.
Finally, they reached their destination.
“…?”
Sebu, with a puzzled expression, and Jane, with a slightly sunken face unlike her usual self.
“Follow Jane.”
At Rohan’s words, Jane moved along, while Sebu remained behind.
“Wait here.”
Rohan also halted the neers who came as Cn’s escort.
“We cannot leave Cn’s side.”
“It’s what even Cn has permitted.”
Tension mounted between Rohan and the escort.
“Wait.”
Cn addressed the guards.
“But…”
The guards added a word, expressing their disbelief.
“You seem particrly defiant today.”
Cn spoke with a low, calm voice and aposed gaze, observing them.
Thud!
At that, like powerless soldiers who had received harsh training from Rohan, they knelt before him.
“Please reconsider!”
“Hmm.”
Cn seemed to ponder for a moment.
“Would cutting off both arms suffice?”
Out of the blue, Con looked at Rohan and spoke.
“….”
“They are obligated to protect me. Though they cannot leave my side, it seems the only way to ease their worried hearts is to wait by, isn’t it.”
It was Con speaking now.
Those unauthorized cannot enter this ce.
The reason being the possibility of them bing a threat.
So, the question was, would they be allowed in if they cut off their arms.
In the face of such strange logic, both Con and Rohan fell momentarily silent.
“Just for a moment.”
In the end, Rohan gave his consent.
“To cut off your ar…”
“You don’t have to cut them off.”

Rohan had a reason for going to such lengths.
The ce Con hade to was the most sensitive spot in Dante at the moment.
“Everyone, step back.”
Rohan addressed the duty personnel of Dante.
The duty personnel of Dante.
Here, there were saints who had been injured and escorted from their homes.
Although the 3rd Military Unit had been given to the saints, most had left for their missions as part of their home military unit, leaving only Roberta and the 3rd Military Unit’s Dantallu here.
“I greet Con, the sessor candidate.”
Roberta and Dantallu greeted Con with a slight bow.
Nodding.
“This ce is…”
“I havee to see Saint Demorus.”
Before Roberta could say anything, Con spoke first.
“I havee to see my brother. Do I need permission? If I do, I have already received it from Rohan here.”
At Con’s words, Roberta and Dantallu fell silent.
There was no error in Con’s words.
“As you must maintain stability, we are not receiving guests.”
However, Roberta did not step back and continued speaking.
“If it’s for protection, then yes. But…”
Con’s eyes turned to Roberta.
“Do not doubt me. I have no intention of harming the wounded.”
Roberta quietly sent a nce towards Rohan.
Nodding.
Yet, it was Jane who nodded her head, giving the signal.
In the end, Roberta and Dantallu stepped aside.
“May Ie in with you?”
“Go ahead.”
A pungent herbal scent wafted through the open door.
Inside,y Sein surrounded by numerous potions.
Cn approached Sein slowly.
“What did the Oracle say?”
Cn inquired to Rohan.
“It’s a deadly poison, so much so that its nature remains unidentified. They are unsure how long it will take for the victim to awaken.”
Rohan replied sincerely.
The counterpart was Cn Demorus.
Among the potential heirs, Cn, with exceptional abilities, was one of the first to be designated as a sessor,pleting his first mission sessfully at the age of twelve, earning him the title of a veteran.
“Tsk. Should have stayed at the main house.”
Though his words seemed dismissive of Dante, Cn appeared genuine.
“And about the assassin?”
“We have only determined that they are skilled in using poisons.”
In the Shadow Realm, there were hundreds who excelled in poison use. While few could handle poisons of this caliber, it made it challenging to use them without evidence.
“Tampia, that child.”
Nevertheless, Cn responded bluntly.
“They have caused unnecessary trouble.”
As Cn slowly scanned Sein lying down, he moved his hand deliberately.
A shudder.
Everyone was startled, hastily reaching for their weapons.
But that was the end of it.
Thud.
Sein’s body remained motionless as if frozen.
During that moment, Cn achieved his goal.
Thwack!
In a swift motion, Cn plunged a dagger into Sein’s heart.
All of this unfolded in a blink of an eye.
Even Rohan couldn’t intervene in time.
Yet, the oue was truly explosive.
ng!
In an instant, Rohan, Roberta, and Dantallu drew their weapons simultaneously, pointing them at Cn’s throat.
Cn’s guards did the same, but their des were aimed at Rohan.
“…What is the meaning of this?”
Rohan managed to speak through his anger.
It was Rohan who had hesitated about allowing Cn to see Sein in the Oracle.
Though he had contemted granting permission, he decided to do so, fearing that hiding it could raise suspicions.
Never did I imagine such a thing.
No matter how unpredictable Cn was, I never thought he would do something like this in Dante.
“At once!”
Rohan shouted.
“Exin yourself!”
Everyone present was mustering the courage to confront Cn.
The reason they hadn’t moved yet was one and only.
Swoosh.
Jane.
Because he hadn’t drawn his sword.
“Seems like I’ve startled you.”
Even with three swords poised at his neck, Cn remained unfazed.
Instead, he spoke in a calm voice.
“I wasn’t trying to kill my brother.”
“…Stabbing a dagger into the heart, aren’t you?”
“See for yourself.”
Keeping his eyes on Cn, Sein hesitated.
And soon, a startling realization dawned.
“…!”
Though the dagger had pierced, not a drop of blood flowed.
As if piercing through something invisible, the dagger lodged in Sein’s heart was glowing white.
“…What is this?”
“It’s called the Purification Dagger.”
Cn exined.
“I happened to acquire it by chance. It’s an artifact that purifies most poisons it encounters.”
“….”
“Though Tampia’s poison is potent, it’s not fully developed, so it should have an effect.”
Everyone present was formidable.
It wasn’t hard to discern whether Cn’s words were true or false.
Above all, Jane’s gesture signaled to lower the sword.
-It’s true.
Cn’s words were true.
“…I won’t say you’vemitted a sacrilege. It was a misunderstanding.”
“I understand.”
Cn said nonchntly.
“It’ll take effect soon. Somehow.”
“Why go to such lengths?”
Though unaware of the Purification Dagger, it was evident that it was an extraordinary item.
Especially the dagger embedded in Sein’s heart had turned to dust in no time.
A disposable artifact.
It was strange to have written such a valuable item to hispetitor, Sain.
“He’s too valuable to be expelled in this way.”
Con said.
“I admire Sain’s abilities.”
Every word was sincere.
“I am confident that someday he will be of great help to Demorus.”
It was a statement based on Sain’s umted reputation.
“Someday.”
Con said.
“It is merely a favor to hope he will assist me by my side.”
Everyone’s faces stiffened.
Only then could they clearly understand.
Con believed without a shred of doubt that he would be his own protector.
“Should I rify further?”
Only then.
“Yes.”
Everyone sheathed their swords and stepped back.
?
?
?
“Con Demorus.”
He was an unusual character.
He resembled the leader the most, and could also be considered the most powerfulpetitor.
Already, three of Demorus’s Five were supporting Con.
Considering even those who dered neutrality or supported other factions, Con had garnered such unwavering support that he couldn’t bepared to Sain, who had Tampia in his hands.
The reason was simple.
“He fits Demorus’s leader role better than anyone else.”
His personality, blessings, abilities.
All of it was overwhelmingly recognized as Con’s.
Indeed, even Sain acknowledged that.
“Still…”
He recalled the incident at the Obligation.
“I can’t believe he would do such a thing.”
Just as his unpredictable nature suggested, hemitted an unpredictable act.
At the moment when a dagger slipped from Con’s embrace, if Sain hadn’t seen it properly, he might have struck Con’s neck first.
If that had happened, it would have led to an all-out conflict.
That was not what Sain desired.
“Jane.”
Rohan called out to Jane.
He was not alone.
From Sebu to Vk.
Cn’s visit to Dante was not simply to see his sick brother.
“You called for me, Master.”
There was another reason.
“For a brief period, you will depart from the ck Sword.”
“…?”
“This is a duty that those affiliated with Demorus must fulfill.”
Vk and Sebu, who had looked puzzled until then, nodded their heads.
Finally, Cn revealed the true reason for his visit to Dante.
“Cn Demorus, the heir presumptive, has ordered the recruitment of talent.”
It wasmon for the main house to recruit talent from its subordinate organizations.
“From now on, you will work with Cn Demorus, the heir presumptive, to carry out the mission.”
It was an unavoidable notification.
“What is the mission?”
When Sebu asked, Cn, with a calm face, approached from behind Rohan.
“It’s a suppression.”
Suppression.
“Monsters?”
Whether it was a creature of darkness or shadows.
