Heroes From Other Worlds Who Don't Like To Fight

Chapter 100: The Dark Side of the Kingdom

Souma waited in the living room with Catrine Elson serving him. It was a little annoying as she continued to stand up so Souma asked her to sit down while enjoying tea together.

Clearly this was better for Souma, he could hear the sound of the training from outside the mansion where the youngest daughter of this family was practicing swinging a sword.

The princess was the incarnation of a goddess even without using a sword she was extremely strong, it was a pity that only Souma knew about it.

Souma decided to ask about the research lab on Catrine.

"It's not an open secret, so it doesn't matter if I tell it."

Souma got a good answer about that.

"The Marquess family and the Duke family used to be obsessed with creating humans who possessed greater power than human power in general so that they could sustain this kingdom from being destroyed."

"And the plan was unknown to the kingdom?" Souma.

"To be precise, the two nobles did so clandestinely, it was clear the king would reject him if they were discovered.. I didn't know about the Marquess royalty but at that time the representative of this family home was Scarlett Evergarden's mistress."

The woman whose painting was seen by Souma earlier, Catrine pulled her tea before continuing.

"The first thing they made was the Homunculus, using their Alchemist technique to make it in such a way but unfortunately if it had to match humans actually their lifespan was very short by about 15 days so it all failed."

"There's a first one so there's a second one too, right?"

"True, because it is difficult to take steps to make man-made so they choose to increase the strength of the man himself with various injections, from 300 people tested they all died horribly, he said, their bodies exploded, internal organs scattered and in the end no one survived."

It was obviously terrible and next Catrine told me how the lab was dismantled.

"Some people who were fishing in the river found human organs removed from the lab until everyone reported it to the king to investigate, it was at that moment that a huge explosion occurred in the lab that the Marquess noble was saved but Miss Scarlett was not so lucky, the people who saw him made sure that his body was burned by the fire and that when they put out the fire his whole body was charred and left only a few of his clothes."

"It was pretty awful."

"Although it seems like this family still wants a strong successor by marrying off his daughter."

"You see how else, the noble families especially the upper nobles are required to contribute more to the kingdom, originally the noble families will be betrothed to the heroes to leave the best descendants for this kingdom, the royal family will be, unfortunately two people have already died while Risela is a woman because it can't pass her genes on to her children."

"Because of the man who was able to do it."

"That's exactly what's left is lord Souma, but I think the kingdom will choose not to make you angry."

"You're so sure about that."

"With your achievements, everyone must be easy to guess, for example if the lord Souma chose to rebel from the kingdom because of their behavior, for example, they will definitely consider it a loss after all those before who expelled you from the palace."

That's the scenario Souma made despite the mistake will still fall on them.

"In short they will give me the freedom to choose."

"That's right, I hope Mr. Souma will accept Miss Stella but if not I think it's a problem after all you might be a different hero... your dead partner even dreamed of marrying 100 women in his hands and just having fun every day with their bodies."

Souma furrowed his brows as the servant in front of him said so without hesitation.

"I think it's normal for them, you know the other world's pretty bad about a couple, unless you're rich and handsome you can just get married to a woman."

"I get new information, then I'll check the banquet after it's over I'll call you."

"certain."

Souma stood up then glanced towards the flower courtyard below him.

"Scarlett Evergarden, yes" he unwittingly muttered the name.
