Chapter 85: The Secret Club (1)
***
The Crown Prince of the Apple Kingdom.
Oliver Apple felt like dying every day lately.
The reason? There was no need to explain much. It was all because of Damien.
– Your Highness, it’s time to study.
It was a routine to come at the same time every morning to wake himself up.
– Your Highness, sitting still stiffens the body.
He even made him do exercises he didn’t want to do regularly.
– Your Highness, no alcohol. Consider every drop as poison.
He even declared abstinence to himself, knowing he couldn’t sleep well without alcohol.
Among them, the most painful thing was that.
– Your Highness, you seem to have lost your determination due to not being hit for a while. Let’s lightly hit you ten times today to regain your determination.
Even if he did nothing wrong, he was regularly called up and punished.
Every time he was punished, he felt a surge of anger, but he had to endure it.
There was hardly any trace of punishment on how it was done. Without evidence, no one believed his words.
– Damn it! I can’t take it anymore! Today you die or I die!
– Oh, how can you say such a thing? Didn’t I ask you to respect your teacher?
– Shut up!
There were times when he rebelled and ended up being beaten all day long.
– Your Highness, if you do this again next time, it’ll be doubled.
It was undoubtedly the most chilling warning he had ever received in his life.
After hearing those words, Oliver could no longer maintain his rebellion against Damien.
“Damn you, you son of a bitch.”
Tonight, Oliver sat reading a book without even touching alcohol.
It was because Damien had ordered him to memorize ten more books by tomorrow as punishment for rebellion.
And it was about tedious etiquette books!
“Why the hell do I have to read this?”
While grumbling, Oliver didn’t stop reading.
If Oliver concentrated, memorizing ten books wasn’t particularly difficult.
It was just annoying and he thought there would be no use for it even if he memorized it.
The main thing was that he didn’t know what would happen to him if he didn’t do what he was told.
Then, there was a tapping sound.
Oliver turned his gaze. A crow was perched outside the window, tilting its head.
A small cylinder was tied to the crow’s ankle. Oliver’s face brightened when he saw it.
“You finally came!”
Oliver immediately opened the window. When he opened the lid of the cylinder, he saw a rolled-up piece of paper.
Oliver gave the crow some feed, then unfolded the paper and read it.
“Tonight at 10 o’clock, is this it?”
A bright smile appeared on Oliver’s face.
“Now’s not the time for this. I need to get ready to go.”
Oliver Apple hurriedly changed his clothes. He put on a robe on top to make sure no one could recognize him.
“This should be enough so that even that guy won’t be able to recognize me. Here I go!”
***
“The moon is unusually bright today.”
Damien murmured as he looked up at the moon from the roof of the building.
The sky was clear without a single cloud. The moon was exceptionally bright as well. It was a perfect night to gaze at the sky.
“It’s also a good day to eat this.”
Damien took out three bottles that he received from the king.
Inside these peculiar bottles made of carved stone was royal jelly from a giant wasp called Allecto.
“Eating this significantly boosts regeneration powers.”Nnew n0vel chapters are published on n0v/e(lb)i(n.)co/m
The most useful effect one could obtain from consuming Allecto’s royal jelly was an increase in regeneration ability.
The person who first consumed Allecto’s royal jelly reportedly experienced astonishing regeneration of their body parts within just a few days, akin to the remarkable ability of a lizard’s tail to grow back after being severed.
However, it’s said that the person in question ate the royal jelly until his stomach burst. It seemed unlikely to expect such efficacy with just three bottles.
“Still, it’s quite remarkable.”
Damien opened the bottle and drank the royal jelly.
The viscous liquid went down his throat. It tasted bitter and sour.
It wasn’t a taste he desired to experience again, but Damien gritted his teeth and drank the remaining two bottles as well.
Three bottles.
In terms of quantity, the equivalent of a glass of water was poured over Damien’s stomach.
“I’d prefer you to sit next to me rather than the others.”
“Oh my, thank you for choosing me.”
“Then will you grant my request?”
“I have a lot to do today. But many beautiful girls are waiting for you more than I am.”
“You always say that. They’re all inferior to you.”
The two continued their conversation as they headed inside. Then, they entered the guest room.
Inside the guest room, other men were already seated with women, drinking.
“Your Highness! Have you arrived!”
As Oliver entered, the men stood up and bowed their heads.
“Oh, what’s with all the commotion? Sit. Sit down quickly.”
Oliver gestured for them to sit. He then took a seat in the center.
“Your Highness! You seem more handsome since we last met!”
“Oh, look at this guy. His Highness is always like this. Always acting like something is new.”
“Hahaha, it seems so. Your Highness, I misspoke.”
The men fawned over Oliver Apple. A satisfied smile crept onto his lips.
“Why all the unnecessary chatter... Come on, let’s drink. Bottoms up.”
Oliver raised his bottle. The men followed suit.
“What’s the rule of our ‘Real Men’ club?”
“Real drinking is done straight from the bottle!”
With that, Oliver Apple and the men started chugging their drinks.
“Ahh, now I feel alive.”
Oliver hadn’t been able to drink a single drop, having been tormented by Damien. To him, the drink now was like honey...
– You rascal! What’s going on here? Where do you think you’re going... Gack!
– Wait! Stop that! Someone stop him!
But suddenly, there was a commotion outside. The group stopped drinking and looked towards the door.
“What on earth? Ruining the taste of the drink.”
Oliver spoke irritably. A man sitting beside him lowered his head and said,
“Your Highness, shall I go and handle it?”
“Huh, what nonsense. It’s too much for Sir James to handle.”
The ‘Real Men’ gathering was a noble assembly led by Oliver Apple.
The members were diverse, ranging from Prince Oliver Apple to the children of bureaucrats working in the capital, and even knights.
Among them, James John was a knight from the middle class.
Using a middle-class knight to quell the disturbance at a tavern?
It was like using a sledgehammer to swat a mosquito...
Clang.
The tavern door swung open, and someone entered. The moment Oliver saw the face, he could only be stunned.
“Your Highness, here you are.”
Damien smiled and looked at him.
“I distinctly recall telling you to treat alcohol like poison... Yet here we are, causing trouble and drinking.”
Damien shook his head with a pitiful expression.
“That’s too bad, I have two hours of free time tonight.”
Oliver froze in place. Just for a moment, his whole body began to tremble.
“Come on, let’s go.”
Damien walked towards Oliver. His trembling intensified.
But someone blocked Damien’s path.
“What’s the meaning of this?”
The only middle-class member of the ‘Real Men’.
It was James John.
“Who are you to dare lay a hand on His Highness?”
James John glared fiercely at Damien. Damien showed an interesting expression at his sight.
“Oh-ho.”
The moment Oliver saw the two facing off, one thought crossed his mind:
The only one who can stop a monster is another monster.
Likewise, the only one who can stop a middle-class man is another middle-class man.
“Sir James!”
The prince shouted without hesitation.
“He’s an utterly vile villain! Kill him immediately! Hand him over to the guards if necessary!”
At the prince’s words, Damien’s expression became even more interesting.
“Oh-ho-ho.”
