Otoko Game: Male protagonists, I’m just a scumbag

Oraki returned the greeting, "Of course, Your Highness the Second Prince."

The two of them got into the spacious carriage.

Al sat in the corner of the carriage, looking as if he wanted to hide himself inside.

Oraki was even more pleased, after all, he was a prince after all, but he looked like this, which made him feel extremely superior.

He supported his chin and used all the etiquette postures he had learned since childhood to show his nobility.

Little did he know that Al had long been accustomed to people like him. The thoughts behind all those hypocritical actions might have been the same after he was caned, or after his mother died.

He became silent, used to observing people with his eyes, except for that person...

He was actually immersed in his disguise.

No, maybe he knew, but he was just willing, willing to fall for it...

...

"Oh, right," the young Marquis Oraki finally began to remember the theme of this time:

"Your Highness, could you please tell me what the purpose of this trip is?"

Al came back to his senses, and when he looked up, he looked worried again:

"I... Marquis Oraji, His Majesty has told me not to tell anyone about this..."

Tsk—Marquis Oraki sneered in his heart, calling him a coward, but he still pretended to be friendly on the surface:

"Your Majesty forbids you to tell others, so you must have told too many people about it. Isn't it okay if you just tell me and I don't tell others?"

"Just tell me, Your Highness the Second Prince, otherwise I don't know how to cooperate with you."

Al looked around in panic, and finally hesitated for several minutes before speaking:

"My father asked me to find something that can shake the destruction that controls this continent."

Although Oraki was curious, he did not have high expectations. As a result, what he said was like a bombshell, but he was still skeptical. He glanced at it and still stared out the window, saying disdainfully:

"How could there be such a thing?"

Al pretended to shake his head.

"I don't know either. My father said it was something my mother left behind. It seemed to be something left behind by the fallen empire of Card..."

As soon as he said this, Oraki was like a chicken with blood injected. He loosened his hands that were supporting his face and looked directly at Ai'er. He said in shock:

"Cassandra?!"

Al blinked, thought for a moment, and finally clapped his hands in excitement:

"Oh yes, that seems to be what it's called."

Oraki frowned. Although the news was heavy, he didn't know whether it was true or not. After all, his elderly father had been looking for it for half his life, and the best news he got was half true and half false.

But..., what Al Ryan just said was something left by his mother. Why did his mother have such a thing?

Speaking of his mother, a commoner woman with no background, King Llane married him. Why?

Oraki immediately thought of the national documents he had read before. The unofficial history recorded their previous country, the Winterer Empire, which existed when the Fallen Empire had just been destroyed.

After the rebellion in the Winterer Empire, everyone related to Winterer died.

There were only two people whose bodies were not found, and the Ryan family did not send anyone to investigate at the time. Could it be... ?

Aoraki suddenly felt scared of his own idea. His father had never thought in this direction. Although this was very strange, didn't it explain many things? !

He now wished he could rush back and tell his father about this.

After two days, they finally arrived at the abandoned castle. The surrounding towns were in ruins, with collapsed houses and overgrown with ivy and weeds.

But this did provide the refugees with a place to stay.

Their army was stationed here first. Oraki looked at the refugees with disdain and immediately ordered the army:

"It's so dirty! Get them all out! Even if this place is abandoned, it still belongs to our country!"

"Yes!"

The leading knight responded immediately and prepared to drive them away.

Al glanced at the ragged children and old man who were sitting on the ground in fear, and immediately frowned:

"Wait, there's no need to expel them."

The knight turned back immediately after hearing this, but he felt a little embarrassed. Obviously, the second prince was the most important person here, but...

Oraji crossed his arms over his chest and didn't think about what to say to the Second Prince. After all, he despised him from the bottom of his heart.

Al didn't pay attention to his expression, and glanced at the knight with a cold face:

"What? Do you still hesitate for a moment about what I said? It seems that my eldest brother and father are not here?"

The knight looked at his expression and felt a little panicked. He immediately bowed and said:

"Okay, Your Highness the Second Prince."

Then Al turned his head again and looked very pitiful:

"They won't disturb us where we live. It would be too pitiful to kick them out..."

When Oraji heard what he said just now, and saw the tone of his voice clearly stiffen for a moment, he was actually a little frightened. When he came to his senses and saw his expression, he felt that he had just overthought.

He hummed in his heart.

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Second Prince is really kind-hearted."

The children immediately ran towards the city.

That night they set up camp, and Al pretended to be hesitant, looking at Oraki, opening and closing his mouth as if he was struggling over whether to speak or not.

Oraki was annoyed, but said:

"Your Highness, please tell me what you have to say."

"It's like this..." Al lowered his head.

"After spending these two days together, I feel that the Marquis is a good person... I have something that is troubling me..."

Oraki almost laughed at his kind words, and cursed him in his heart that he was such a fool. He smiled and said:

"It's alright, Your Highness. Just tell me now."

"Duke Wacker... He told me to join forces with him and to tell him about my father's internal affairs... He said he said..." Al became more and more nervous as he spoke:

"He wanted to help me kill my father...! Even though my father was not kind to me, I didn't want to do that!... So I didn't agree, and he even asked me to draw the remaining 1/3 of the blueprint for it..."

"What!?" Oraki's heart beat violently. That bastard Duke Wak had actually thought so a long time ago?

You pretend to be so noble all day long, you bastard.

But why did he look for a loser like Al? He thought about it...

That's right...he is stupid and easy to control, and he knows some things about the royal family...

He can't let him go first!

Oraki immediately became excited and patted Ai'er on the shoulder:

"How could he do such a shameless thing?! You can't trust him!"

Al opened his big innocent eyes. He was not very old and still looked like a teenager. His expression looked very innocent. He said in panic:

"Brother Marquis Oraji, should I tell father about this? Let father catch him or something!"

Oraki loosened his grip on his shoulder and stood in front of him with a serious look on his face, as if he was teasing a child:

"Don't say that. He has this idea and he must have made some preparations. Any rash action will only cause suffering to His Majesty. So, you listen to me first..."

Al looked up at him, as if he was listening to the teacher attentively, very docile.

But the expression hidden under the mask was extremely dark, without any trace of smile.

How could Duke Wacker come to find a loser like him? However, he would still have to go to find Duke Wacker later.

Didn't they want to rebel? Yes, why couldn't others do the same as they did when they gained an empire through rebellion?

Dog bites dog. Who would have thought that a useless prince who has been notorious since childhood would do such a thing?

Wei Lan changed his mask and went to Lant Church.

But when he walked in, he was stopped by the nun at the door. This nun was not the one he often saw before.

"What's wrong?" Wei Lan looked at her with eyes hidden behind the mask, not understanding what she meant.

"Miss, the religious leader sent an order saying that starting from yesterday morning, people wearing masks are not allowed to enter the church..."

“This is disloyalty to God.”

"what???"

Wei Lan was totally speechless.
