I’m Going to Destroy this Country

* * *

“Ddya (Damn them).”

“Dyayayaya (I thought they were like soybean powder for a reason).”

Isaac was somewhere, murmuring curses.

Isaac was dragged by the servants at the call of the house’s head and was thrown into a bath. After being vigorously scrubbed, he was thrown into a conference room.

Of course, getting cleaned was a good thing. Even if the servants, who might’ve been bribed for some reason, scrubbed him as if they were operating some threshing machine, it didn’t matter.

Indeed, one couldn’t meet the head of the house looking dirty.

Although Isaac was in a place he could easily be thrown out of, he was still the highest rank in the house.

It was the family that had dominion over the continent, the only one that could confront the , and clearly, being the head of one of the five great families of the Empire meant he was no ordinary person.

For now, he needed to behave, and check out what kind of guy he was…

“Tsk, another boy.”

“Ugh, another useless mouth to feed.”

What a joke.

Isaac’s blood rose as he looked at the old men in front of him.

Why were these unrelated old men sitting here when the family head asked for him?

“What’s the use of giving birth to a boy?”

Moreover, why was he being berated for being born as a son?

“If we had accepted her as the Saintess, she should’ve acted according to her duty. Yet, she gave birth to another son. She doesn’t have the qualifications of a Saintess.”

Damn it, what kind of twisted logic is this?

Is there only a preference for sons or daughters?

Isaac scowled at the gathered people.

Those looking down on him were the pillars supporting the head of the house.

In simpler terms, they were the elders.

It was obvious for a prestigious family like Eshua to have its supporters sitting beside the head. The real problem wasn’t that.

“Lilai. We decided to raise that child in isolation and then release him. Why did you let him step on our ancestral land?”

Why are people, who aren’t even the heads, making a fuss?

“If someone hears ‘release,’ they might think we forcibly brought him here.”

Even the treatment of animals is basic, so why is the second wife sitting in the position of the head of the family instead of the man?

And, perhaps thinking the same thing, Lilai sneakily glanced at the woman sitting in the head’s seat.

“The head has left his seat.”

“He’s on a business trip. Isn’t it noisy everywhere because of the issue of choosing the successor?”

At the same time, they shot her a look, as if asking if she had any complaints.

“Why? Are you so dissatisfied that my mother is sitting as a proxy for the head?”

It’s not about dissatisfaction.

What’s really annoying is your arrogant tone.

Although Isaac looked displeased, the arrogant person didn’t know when to shut up.

“If you’re dissatisfied, go beg your mother-in-law to give birth to a daughter.”

“Shut…!”

“Don’t you know, only those who produce Saintesses can speak in Eshua? If you really want to say something, you go produce a daughter or… Argh!”

“Oh, master! He’s choking!”

Before he could finish, he clutched his face in pain.

Isaac, who had thrown a gold coin at his face, frowned.

Damn kid. It’s so annoying, really.

From the beginning, a Saintess?

Even the Skeleton King couldn’t catch her, so what’s with all the fuss?

But whether he was angry at being hit, the arrogant one immediately grabbed Isaac.

“You damn trash! Puhak!!”

Isaac spat heavily on his uncle’s face.

The saliva-covered arrogant one was clearly displeased, but what could he do?

Will he hit a baby?

Try to hit. Go on, idiot.

“This rude and uncultured brat!”

In the end, he didn’t hit, just shivered in anger.

While he was momentarily angry and did slap his uncle, there was a reason why he was so cheeky.

‘As if he’s not from the Saintess’ family. They might think he’s living the life of a pauper.’

It was simple.

Since it was a family that produced Saintesses, female children were precious. The position of those who birthed female children grew significantly.

Moreover, the special combat abilities of the Saintesses didn’t manifest in male children.

And he knew very well that he was treated as useless in such a situation.

“Look at him! The actions of the eldest son’s child you brought!”

“Master Goel!”

“Seeing his crude actions, he’s clearly not of Eshua’s bloodline! He might be some lowlife’s seed. He doesn’t even deserve the annex. Just kick him out as initially suggested!”

And before he could find himself, he knew he needed to shut up that arrogant fool.

But then-

“Yes, this child is too precious for the annex. Because he’s not an ordinary child.”

Upon hearing Lilai’s words, the elders furrowed their brows.

“He’s not an ordinary child?”

Lilai then picked up Isaac, his eyes sparkling.

“Yes. This child has talent. A talent incomparable to big brother Goel’s.”

“What’s so special about that?”

Though the arrogant one was startled, Isaac, lifted high in the air like a baby lion, smirked.

Yes, the faces of the oldies have completely changed.

Let’s keep this up.

“Listen, this child is to become a Saint!”

Right on!

Keep it up!

“Not only that, he can surely become a Pope!”

That’s right! Keep going!

“No, he’s the one to kill the Skeleton King!”

Hold on, uncle.

Let’s leave out the last part.
