The Duke's Son Makes a Few Clever Calculations

A story about a cool, beautiful woman with a soft heart and a shameless, lecherous top.

*

Idenus rules the Laien Plains. His banner sweeps across the sky, and slaughter, death, and despair are his bywords. By now, he has almost forgotten the name he had on Earth.

Many years ago, he found an ancient teleportation spell, drew the pattern, and eagerly hoped it would send him back to Earth.

But the person he trusted most, his elder brother, secretly altered the teleportation array!

Using a bloodline pact, his brother created two children and forcibly trapped him on this fantastical continent, then tricked him into caring for these two "orphans of unknown origin."

When he learned the truth, the tip of his blade hung over the innocent face of one of the children. To this day, he has yet to bring it down.

Unless he kills the two children he has cared for all these years, he cannot return to Earth.

Now, Idenus can only occasionally remember the name he once had: Ying Zhi.

As a police academy student, Huo Ke considers himself one of the best among ordinary people when it comes to physical fitness and reaction speed.

But then he transmigrates to a magical continent.

Huo Ke: Damn, all that muscle training was for nothing.

He is now the only son of an unpopular duke. The impoverished duke, who has status but no money, tearfully sends him from a remote fief to the Royal City Magic Academy, hoping he will become an excellent mage and restore the family's glory.

Once there, Huo Ke discovers that the kingdom is controlled by intrigue and backstabbing, the royal family, the Church, and the Order of Magic Knights.

There is no law here. Magic can make a person die without a sound.

Huo Ke had planned to work a part-time job late at night to earn a few crystals, but he gets caught up in the murder of a member of the royal family.

The bad news: The captain of the Order of Magic Knights rides a griffin and declares, "Better to kill an innocent than let a guilty person go. Show no mercy."

The good news: Huo Ke seems to hear him say something in an ancient Earth language. Everyone else can only guess at its meaning.

Huo Ke: "Show no mercy"? That's not a local saying.

Huo Ke: Wait, a fellow Earthling! A fellow Earthling!

Even better news: When the helmet comes off, dark red hair falls over the young man's shoulders, revealing a handsome, delicate face, thick, long eyelashes, and thin lips pressed together. A faint, lingering melancholy rests between his brows and eyes. He's a quintessential Chinese beauty.

Huo Ke: !!!

The impoverished duke waits in his fief, hoping his son will return after completing his studies.

Before long, a royal city informant sends word.

Although the young master's grades in magic are practically zero, he has found another way to bring honor to the family.

He has become the lover of the blood-soaked Idenus.

The whole royal city is talking about it.

Duke: ???

Little scene:

Duke: Son, how come the captain of the knights didn't run you through with his sword?

Huo Ke: Father, I know how One Piece ends. Every night, I climb into his bed and make him let me tell him what happens in the next episode.

Duke: What on earth?

Theme: Survive.
