The Kingmaker System

"What the-"

I gasped as I saw the child’s tongue which had the strange dirty red hued concentric circles with inscriptions.

Thanks to the gift of knowledge of linguistics, I was able to understand what those inscriptions meant.

I held his jaw scowling deeply as I glared at the inscriptions. The words like absolute secrecy, and death were emphasized. Among the stuff that I had learned from Silas these kind of spells were different from the mana contract that was used on a normal basis. This particular spell belonged to the special class of spells,and that was the dark spells. The ones which did only bad. While the magic contract did bind a person to the contract, these kind of spells that were casted on the body of the host were extremely potent and weren’t easy to cancel.

If this child has this spell on his tongue then there was a high chance that this matter went really deeper than what I had presumed. Something even more vile than the greedy priests was involved in this matter.

My blood sizzled under my skin and I could feel my Mana Presence whipping around.

"Who did this to you?" I almost growled and the boy shuddered.

His eyes started watering and I sighed releasing his jaw before I gestured for him to come with me.

I let him sit down on the armchair and brewed him some tea, he was hesitant to take it but since I insisted he took the teacup from me. I sat down in front of him observing him.

This boy was in far deeper problem than I had assumed at first. He didn’t only have the mana cancelling cuffs on his ankles but also the dark spell on his tongue to keep him from spilling the information.

"There is only the specific information that you’re not allowed from saying, right?" I asked and he nodded.
