I Became the Youngest Disciple of the Martial God

The current head of the Goodspring family, Hatehm Goodspring was not like the Lord of Blood and Iron, who had a strong attachment to his children.

As the head of a great family, he of course worked to exterminate the cult, but was he as driven as Bednicker? Not really.

Did he have political aspirations?

He maintained good relationships with the imperial family and the central nobilities, but that was merely to keep House Bednicker in check. He had no other motives.

So what was Hatehm Goodspring’s true aspiration? What did he truly desire?

The answer was simple: To surpass House Bednicker.

A few decades ago, House Bednicker had been called “The Fallen Noble House” and “The Fading Sun.” People had casually dismissed them as a relic of the past. Meanwhile, the power of the Goodspring family had been great enough to rival even the imperial family.

But not anymore.

While their positions hadn’t completely flipped, no one in The Empire would place House Goodspring above House Bednicker. If anything, they would say House Bednicker was superior.
