The Tales of Draconic Warlock

This was because I would graduate and the academy has no reason to support me, unless I take up a position in the academy but to do that I have to reach Tier-4 at the least.

To the world, I am still trying to reach Tier-3 at this point. So there was no way to convince them to let me join after this year unless I showed them my real status.

Once I do so, they would definitely be suspicious of me and could hire someone or use artifacts that can show everything about me. They would want to know whether I am real or not.

I mean, I would be someone who hid their true status for so long and I am not a weak person. So there is now way that they would trust me from the get-go.

If they hire someone to find my details, then everything about me would be in the out. I mean my talents, not other secrets like that I remember my past life or Nexus or that I can access a lot of secret realms or the cosmic market.

These things would be safe but once they see my status panel, they would start to wonder what else I am hiding. Once these things are out, then all would come out, slowly, one by one.

If everything about me comes out, then it could cause a huge war to get hold of me. Even my own kingdom may see me as a resource, rather than like a human. If that day ever comes, then I would be no different from a slave.

The terms may differ depending on whose hands I fall into, but the status would be the same.

So going back to the academy after graduating is a No Go.

Whatever problems that appear in front of me, I have to face them by myself.

William is sure to come after me in a year but how dangerous would that be, I have no idea. If he becomes the heir then he could use a lot of resources to do that but if he fails, then he would have less resources but there would be a lot of resentment against me.

To people like him, they are perfect. They could never do something wrong. Everything they do is the right thing. Only others can do wrong.

So he would push the blame onto me, even though he was in that situation because of what he did.

He was the one who used pawns to come after me. Not once but twice, that I know of. He could have attempted more than those two times that I know of but that doesn\'t matter now anyway. I am not dead and he was facing the consequences for his actions.

I always thought that if he was intelligent, he could have escaped from the expulsion and also would still be the heir.

I mean, I knew that he was behind Dorian but I didn\'t act against him, because I believed that he would make some stupid mistake, which would give me a better chance of throwing him in a pit.

Though I have evidence of Dorian meeting with William and Dorian\'s confirmation, that was not enough. I needed a lot more proof to convict him and the reason why I waited instead of directly going after him.

It played well in the end.

William incriminated himself and caused his expulsion by creating rumours about the death of those five students in the secret realm. He may have graduated if he didn\'t start those rumours.

There is another reason why I thought that he was not intelligent.

If he wanted to have Elisha, he could have appeared before my family and paid what the Siren family owed us for helping them and could have cancelled the pact.

No, he was greedy. He wanted to eliminate me, which would be a disastrous move before he could assume the position of a Count.

Even then, without proper reason, he can\'t kill me but he could have easily influenced someone to go after me, either directly or indirectly. Then, even if he was found out, it would be impossible to get revenge on him or demand compensation.

Now I understood why he didn\'t choose the easy method to get Elisha.

The military along with that file about what the Rutgurd family did to the Siren family in the dark, gave another file. The information in this was the reason why they thought that the Rutgurd would go after our family.

Some old ancestor bitch from that family has a feud with some ancestors of the Frostwolf and Siren family and that was centuries ago. Those ancestors are dead but she wanted to exact revenge on us, the descendants.

Since our side of ancestors was gone, we didn\'t know any such feud and were in the dark about the machinations of that old bitch. I almost died because of that bitch.

If I improved as my siblings did, there was a high chance that I would have died.

She used William on us. His original plot was to make Elisha fall in love with him, and then cause fissures between us. He changed that when he actually started to like her and changed the plot to kill me directly.

He removed the fall of the Siren family from the menu.

His only goal was to see that I die and then my family to fall later.

It can be considered my luck that there was a traitor who placed that summoning ritual in the library. I summoned a demon, whom I eliminated and was promoted skipping ranks.

That incident made me reach Tier-6 faster than anyone ever before.

Speaking of the summoning, it has been a long time since I did any summonings. I was afraid to summon demons or other extra-terrestrial beings that could destroy this world.

So I stopped using them, though I think I can change that.
