Vampire Prince Trapped Into a Hunter

Chapter 44 – PROTECTION BEHIND THE MEANING OF SENIORITY. 8

“Ck.”

It was the first time Jeremy Rudd had spoken that Sarpian Mucahantas had left in front of us.

“Hey, you. Not that at a time like this at least you thanked me?”

“I never need your help!”

‘This backpack!’

I also unconsciously curse in my heart so upset at his poor attitude.

Had I not disguised myself as the gentle and kind Arnoria Rosechild of today, I would have probably beaten her head many times.

“Aren't you being too rude to me, man? Though you were very polite to Senior Sarpian. Come to think of it, I am Senior Sarpian's father's son. So in other words, I'm the son of your father's boss, you know. Don't you just have to be more respectful to me?”

After saying those words to her, I saw Jeremy's frustrated face.

His body was trembling in fear.

“Hahahahaha, sorry yes, Arno. Jeremy didn't mean to be disrespectful to you. She just can't express her feelings well.”

Seeing the confused Jeremy, Otto immediately covered him.

I had no intention of threatening him.

I was purely telling her that so she could choose someone she deserved more respect for.

“I'm not threatening you, Jeremy. Sorry for making you wrong. I just want to be your friend, kok.”

“Sorry, Young Master Arnoria. This despicable me does not deserve to be a friend of the Master who comes from a famous and wealthy family. Therefore, please just leave us and do not get involved with our affairs anymore. It will only cause harm to both of us.”

That bastard's mind was more complicated than I thought.

Actually what makes him so not want to be friends with a figure as good as Arnoria Rosechild?

If you were friends with him, wouldn't that ease your life in the academy?

As I used to use Arno as a shield from bullies students while in high school.

Anyway I don't know anymore with that bastard's mind.

I have helped him three times, but he is the one who always refuses my hand.

From now on, I won't know anything about his business even if he's beaten, bullied, even kidnapped, I won't care anymore.

Who would have thought that the words that were only spoken reflexively in my mouth and I meant nothing at all, were truly an occurrence.

“Young Master Arno, please save Otto's life!”

“I promise for my pride as a future hunter candidate will be willing to do whatever you ask to repay your kindness in the future”

But it was not Jeremy who was kidnapped, but his sidekick, Otto.

For the first time, I saw the helpless face of Jeremy Rudd haughtily pleading with me earnestly.

***

It all started with Arnoria Rosechild's father, Lehman Rosechild, who used the duel incident as a starting point of research into sub-guild loyalty led by Sarpian Mucahantas' father, Rieco Mucahantas.

Lehman could not directly criticize the implementation of the duel because by doing so, it was tantamount to criticizing the pride of the academy itself.

However, with evidence collected from Alleandro Karman's body at the scene, the E-ranked hunter advances as a champion against Arnoria Rosechild in a duel, the hidden plots planned by the Mucahantas family during this time can finally be discovered by the Rosechild family.

Lehman had been suspicious of the possible betrayal of the sub-guild, but in the absence of evidence, Lehman had no reason to investigate it in depth.

But now the opportunity comes by itself.

There were several poison killers that could not be detected either the smell, color, or taste that was stored well in the pocket of clothes and pants Alleandro Karman when advancing to duel against Arnoria Rosechild.

There was no reason for him to come forward with the invisible murderous poison in his hands just to duel an ordinary student who had not even obtained his hunter license, yet, except if from the beginning he had intended to kill Arnoria Rosechild.

Then as Lehman investigated it, the evidence of sub-guild treachery was even more clearly revealed.

Thankfully, the evidence was soon available before the sub-guild grew even stronger, equaling or exceeding the power of the central guild and their plot of rebellion was successful.

They can be burned before they have time to revolt so as to minimize the occurrence of more casualties.

Sarpian Mucahantas, who was still in the academy at the time, was able to figure it out sooner so that he could survive the capture of the Rosechild family's central guild force.

He who was angry finally kidnapped Otto who at that time did not know anything.

He did not dare to kidnap Arnoria Rosechild directly after seeing his abilities improve during the duel against Alleandro Karman.

That's why he slightly twisted his plan by using a weak Otto to be kidnapped in order to lure Arnoria Rosechild into his trap.

“So you asked me to come to a place to save Otto who was kidnapped by that senior bastard who was clearly a trap that had been prepared by him, my friend Jeremy?”

“But if we report it to the homeroom or another lecturer, Otto will be killed.”

“I better know that Senior Pian is so ruthless that it can definitely do it without even turning a blind eye.”

“I beg Young Master Arno, be careful this time only to us.”

“You yourself said no, that you consider us friends!”

In the middle of the night blind, when I was about to rest, I suddenly got this sudden news from Jeremy.

“I understand. The rest I will take care of. You go back to your room first.”

I told him to come back as I prepared the fastest move I could make right now.

The bastard promised to kill Otto if I didn't come to the designated place an hour from now.

Taking the estimated trip would take about 40 minutes, which means I have to make a decision now.

Anto just arrived beside me while giving me the report of her investigation.

What Jeremy said is true.

There was a letter in the senior room of the bastard that reported that his family had been snatched up by the central family led by Father for their treasonous plot to be discovered and asked the senior bastard to immediately run away from the academy before the troops led by Father also came to the academy to capture him.

Then the senior bastard did not just run away quietly, instead bringing new problems by involving people who have nothing to do with this at all, he even threatened to kill the person concerned.

That is why I told Otto that his attitude of choosing to be weak was also wrong.

Not fighting someone you can't fight is a wise decision.

However, it is wrong for you to lick his legs as if you are very weak in front of him.

Once he wants to vent his anger, he will immediately choose to kick you without thinking twice because in his eyes you are no longer a nothing existence.

It may sound hypocritical, but in this broken world, it is okay for you to appear strong even if you have nothing as a weapon.

You see, once you look weak in the eyes of others, others will never think long again to immediately use you as a growth for their personal interests.

“Can't be like that, Young Master Arno!”

“Otto is my best friend, so it's only natural that I want to save him too!”

“However, I have to come with you!”

But this little bastard in front of me, his passion for protecting his best friend is good.

It was clearly better than his previous attitude of just letting his best friend get beaten up by that senior bastard by hiding his tail.

But what can he do to help there?

He would just end up being an additional burden.
