Become Tyrant On My Own Way
Chapter 48 – LUKA LAMA ALBERT
[POV Albert]
I was born into a noble family. Nevertheless, I was most afraid as well as hated the one called nobility.
From childhood, I was always educated by my father to become a knight in order to support my first brother as the next future ruler of the region.
As a leader, my father was a wise man. Nevertheless, she was the type who was harsh towards her children. He did not want to attack a weak child. That's why I trained from childhood to meet his expectations.
However, the storm immediately hit when I turned 7 years old. My family was accused of heresy by the holy temple and was executed by the emperor on unsubstantiated charges of rumors spread by the nobles.
That is how dangerous the creature named noble is. With their sharp tongues, they are able to destroy the lives of others through rumors, fear, and betrayal.
I still vividly remember how Father, Mother, the first elder brother, the second elder brother, and my older sister were cruelly executed right in front of me. They exhaled their last breaths in the flames while being shouted at by the people as demon worshippers.
Since I was protected by imperial law and that time the emperor was kind enough to let me live, I managed to escape execution. But in exchange, I was sold as a colossium slave. Nothing like a death sentence.
They threw me into the arena to fight with monsters at the time when the holy temple had damaged my mana core. So how am I that little boy who can no longer use mana to defeat those monsters?
It was the same as them deliberately throwing me there to be slaughtered by monsters as another form of capital punishment that was not previously allowed to me regarding the imperial laws protecting minors.
However, what made me even sadder at that time was that the core of which was my father's last precious memento was simply destroyed by the sacred temple. And, that is also the reason why I have not been able to reach a level 5 sword master until now regarding the magic circuit that was injured after the core where it was destroyed.
When I was dissolved in that despair, when I had given up on everything, His Highness Prince Helios came to my rescue.
He came as one of the colossium visitors to choose the slaves to be made his knights.
Since no noble son of his followers was willing to serve him as his knight, His Highness the Prince of Helios was forced to rely on a slave. Then, amidst the many other potential slaves who had bodies healthier than me, who were more mature than me at that time, His Highness Prince Helios chose me.
He said that I was more potential than the other slaves, so he chose me. And that makes me happy too. I'm happy because when I fell into a deep hole, there were still people who put their trust in me and saved me in this abject pit.
Therefore, from the bottom of my heart, I consider His Highness Prince Helios as my own brother. I knew it was an act of disrespect for the royal family, so I just kept it in my heart. What is clear is that no matter what happens to His Highness Prince Helios, I will protect him as his sword, even if it will sacrifice my own life.

“Hei Brother Trash, it seems your men are the same as you are yes, trash everything.”
Hearing Leon's insults to Helios, Albert could no longer hold back his anger. Forgetting Leon's high status, with a look of rage, Albert did what should be what could be considered an insult to the royal family. He stared at Leon unhappily while raising his voice.
“Please stop all that, Prince Leon. If you really feel great, let's fight with me. If I win, then you must retract your words and apologize to His Highness Prince Helios.”
“Hahahahaha. Whether it's the master, whether it's the dog, you're both easily provoked. But hey mutt, don't think just because I managed to lose to your master shamefully, I will also lose to a mutt like you.”
Albert looked at Leon with anger, and Leon returned the gaze even more sinisterly. Seeing the development of the situation, Helios shook her head in disappointment.
He patted Albert on the shoulder and said, “Hey, Albert. You relax. What use are you provoked like that. Leon has no bad intentions. Think again, all his advice is true. If it followed his advice, then Nunu and Alice could once again evolve. The way of speaking is indeed annoying from there, so you understand the shortcomings of it.”
“Hey, what does that mean, Big Brother Trash?!”
“You too, Leon. Fix your habits that always easily provoke that person. Actually, where did my cute sister who always smiled at me go. Why can you turn out to be annoying like this.”
Helios twisted the cheek of the extremely unpleasantly-looking Leon who was staring at her. However, Leon swiftly rebuffed Helios' hand.
“So, how, Leon? Would you mind fulfilling Albert's match-training request? I don't think this is a bad offer for both of you to hone your skills.”
“Hah, Brother thinks a weak dog seems like it could be a worthy opponent for me? Later do not regret it if until your mutt is seriously injured. But well, I also have free time now, then all right, let's do.”
“Hehehehehe. My sister is cute.”
“Stop that, Big Brother Trash!”
Thus, Leon finally fulfilled the request to train a match against Albert.
Albert gritted his teeth against Leon's provocation.
He advanced with his greatsword, encompassing the outer area of his sword with aura gathered from his mana outer vessels which he absorbed directly from nature. Since his mana core broke, that's the maximum Albert can do at this time. As a result, even though that sword aura had been quite extraordinary for a level 4 sword master, it was quite incredible, it was too thin and blunt especially without elements compared to the fire aura of the level 5 sword master Leon.
“Trang, trang, trang.”
The sword strikes happened many times. Albert seemed overwhelmed by the heat of Leon's fire only a few times, while Leon seemed happy as if he was just playing around with Albert.
Albert's body was clearly larger and stockier than Leon's, although Leon's body could not be said to be athletic, however, It was Albert who was knocked back when there was not the slightest sign that Leon was exhausted. This was the so-called big gap between ordinary level 4 sword masters compared to the level 5 sword master geniuses.
“Hah, I'm getting bored. Is it true that you are swinging a sword instead of a toothpick, O Village Dog?”
Albert increasingly felt humbled by the insults of Leon's sharp mouth. As a result, Albert's movements in his anger became increasingly simple.
Seeing that, Leon was suddenly filled with anger,
“You claimed to be the sword of Brother Helios, but you were easily provoked by the opponent?! You think you can win against me with such temperament?! Just a slight insult, you have already lost your composure in the fight?! You think you can protect that trash with a half-sword soul like this, huh?!”
“Slash slash slash.”
Leon suddenly increased his fighting pace, threw out Albert's sword then slashed through his armor through his skin many times to make Albert's blood splatter everywhere.”
“Aaaaakkkkhhh!”
“Albert!”
“Mr Albert!”
“Albert!”
“Commander!”
Helios, Nunu, Alice, and Damian could not help but worry as soon as they saw Albert's body covered in blood. On the other hand, even though Yasmin had a flat expression, she was equally worried about Albert.
“Control that unnecessary emotion if you really want to be the sword of Big Brother Trash because it is precisely your simple nature that is the most dangerous for him.”
While saying that, Leon again sheathed his sword.
He accepted the raw bogeman from Helios without repelling him of Helios' unbearable anger after seeing his own men hurt.
“You? What did you do to Albert, Leon?!”
Leon did not respond to his brother's anger. He who fell to the ground after receiving the raw bogeman Helios just immediately stood up while wiping the blood on the tip of his mouth as if nothing had happened. He just said,
“As the leader of this city of Painfinn, I command you, Big Brother Trash. Treat him thoroughly through the region doctor.”
Leon slowly walked away from them. But a moment later, Helios stopped his steps by approaching him.
“Leon, so you realize everything?”
Leon smiled because his good intentions were realized by his brother even though the others did not seem to realize it.
She whispered into her brother's ear that was lined by a magic wall so that even the closest person would not be able to hear his voice except for Helios, “I'm definitely happy if I can fight back that mutt when his level is on par with me.”
What Leon was aiming for was the core healing of Albert so that he could also soon reach the level 5 sword master. By deliberately making Albert's entire body seriously injured, they had reason to hide the core treatment where Albert was under the pretext of healing his heavy injuries after the fight with Leon.
And since the commandment came from Leon and not Helios, then even if the sacred temple spies were near them, it would not realize anything.
