Chapter 657: 657 - - Art. 657 Problematic Children

The man slowly took his seat. As if he had been waiting for it, a salad and soup were served in front of him.

"......"

The man gazes at the dishes laid out on the table. It is the same breakfast menu as usual. He looks up quickly. He sees his son eating breakfast right beside him.

He is drinking his soup while shaking his head, as if he were lying down on the floor. I have taught him to eat with good manners and correct posture since he was a child, but he still looks like this even though he is over twenty-five years old. The man was fed up with this scene repeated every morning.

This man's name was Lohse Kuenz, and he was a servant of the Emperor of the Banalist Empire. He had a dignified appearance with long gray hair pulled back and a magnificent beard. Although he is a fine-looking man, the pallor of his face adds to his power.

For generations, the Loos family has played the role of a poisoner for the emperor, and some of the heads of the family have actually lost their lives. Some of them lost their lives just a month after they took over the reigns of the family after having poisoned the emperor. At that time, the successor was still an infant, and the empire was in great turmoil. Because of this, the Loos family, by order of the emperor, not only tasted poisons but also researched poisons that could assassinate the emperor.

The present head of the family, Loos Kuenz, has all kinds of poisons in his possession and has been involved in research for many years. The results of his research are regarded as the best of all the previous heads of the family, and he is, so to speak, the world's greatest specialist in poisons.

With his eyes, nose, and tongue, he has been able to detect any kind of poison. The previous emperors, in particular, were highly ambitious in territorial expansion and aggressive in their invasions of neighboring countries. Because of this, he was often the target of attempts on his life, and thanks to Lose Kuenz, he was spared from poisoning three times and lived out his natural life.

After the fall of the previous emperor and the transition to the current emperor's regime, the country took a more conciliatory line with neighboring countries, and thus the risk of poisoning was much lower. However, Lose Kuenz did not let his guard down at all. He did not neglect each and every step of his work, and continued to face his duties with sincerity. For this reason, he was trusted not only by the emperor but also by his retainers, and he had a strong voice in the empire.

His son, Loos Albe, on the other hand, was the complete opposite of his father. He was spoiled by his mother from an early age, and after she passed away, he grew up to be a man lacking in character because he was raised by those who served the Loos family to be a "boyie-boy".

All these retainers were now sent away by Loos Kuenz and re-educated by his father himself, but Albe's condition did not improve at all, and in fact, he began to act contemptuously in front of his father.

Quenz was getting impatient. If something happened to him, the Loos family would be destroyed. Fortunately, Albe had an interest in poisons and had a good knowledge of them, but his lack of character made it difficult for him to serve at the emperor's side.

Albe was hurriedly bringing the food to his mouth, oblivious to his father's gaze. He was still moving his right leg impatiently. Quentz, who couldn't help but notice this, coughed a little louder as if he was chastising her behavior.

Slowly, Albe's eyes turned toward us. He looks at his father nervously.

"How many times have I told you? When you eat, don't move your body. Eat your meals slowly, gracefully. How long have you lived in this house? Why don't you change your ways?

How many times have I said these words? As a father, Kuenz knew very well that these words had no effect on his son. But as a father and a parent, he had to say it.

Albe remained lying face down with his eyes closed. He may have thought he was expressing remorse, but this attitude had been repeated many times before. He was just waiting for his father's anger to pass.

Where did he go wrong in his upbringing? Quentz muttered to himself as he looked at his son. He hesitates to speak of what has passed away, but perhaps it was a mistake to entrust his wife with the responsibility of raising him. I should have been involved in my son's education. But even if I think so, it does not bring back the time that has passed. No matter how much he blamed his late wife and himself, he knew better than anyone else that he could not change his current situation.

He looked at his son and made a decision in his heart. He decided to adopt a child from the Loos family.

Fortunately, Kuenz had two students. One of them, a man named Kismi, he had his eye on. This man would succeed him in a great way and make the house prosperous. Kismi would probably refuse the offer out of concern for Albe. But it was the most appropriate thing for this family. Quentz made up his mind to convince Kismi to accept the offer at any cost.

He finally took a spoon, scooped up the soup in front of him and brought it to his mouth. It was the corn soup served every morning. The taste of the corn is brought out very well. The soup had cooled down a bit due to overthinking earlier, but it was still a tasty soup.

This is due to the skill of Miesel, the cook who has served the Loos family for a long time. Thinking that he was as good as ever, Quentz switched to a fork and started to eat the salad with it.

The taste of fresh vegetables fills his mouth. At that moment, he felt a slight burning in his heart.

Reflexively, he puts down his fork and looks up.

"Sir, how are you?"

Baruch, who is in charge of serving, has a worried look on his face. Quentz raises his right hand and tells him that everything is fine.

"No, it's nothing."

"......"

Quentz took the spoon again and began to drink the soup with it. For some reason, a slight chill runs through his body. He puts down the spoon again and looks up.

"...... sir?"

"...... No, nothing. I'm just feeling a little... Maybe I'm tired. ...... Voe."

I felt a twinge in my chest again. It was a stronger heartburn than before. I couldn't help but make an involuntary noise. Quentz, knowing this was wrong, picked up a napkin and brought it quickly to his mouth. Baruch is peering at him with a worried look on his face. Not wanting to worry him, he tried to raise his right hand, but it did not go up.

Quenz felt a sensation in his stomach, as if something hot like boiling water was rising up. His stomach was burning hot. What the hell is this ....... As he thought this, his consciousness faded away.

"Sir!　Sir!　Sir!"

Baruch shook Quentz's body, but his body did not move at all. Seeing this, his son Albe slowly stood up and approached his father.

He was already frozen, his eyes wide open. It was obvious to everyone that his father was no longer with us.

Albe turned on his heel and strode away. Behind him, Valha was calling his name, but he did not respond to her voice at all.

He quickly returns to his room and locks the door. He crouched down on the floor, holding his mouth with both hands. His shoulders are shaking slightly.

"At last, at last, at last, I have the ultimate poison. Completely ...... tasteless and odorless....... I've surpassed ...... my father. ....... I finally did it. I finally did it!

Albe said this, and then he let out a weird, woohihihihihihi laugh.......
