27 Time Skip (5 - End)

Each of those tasks was somehow "coincidentally" connected with something to do with finding evidence of the evil deeds of corrupt nobles and important members of the church. 

Every time he does his mission, he attracts a lot of criminals and unwanted accusations from corrupted nobles, which are always resolved at the end. The prince used Morsan as bait and distraction, while his own shadow squads did his actual purpose. 

Due to the recent tensions between Melromarc and Siltvelt, Queen Mirellia, has spent most of her time on diplomacy, barely spending any time with her family.

Both Mirellia and Egone tried to separate King Audrey from Malty after Morsan warned about the 'strange evil aura' that was corrupting the king from Malty and only Morsan could see the aura due to his blood magic.

But they were unable to do anything since the king himself didn't want to be saved. Whenever they tried to separate Malty from King, his condition started to worsen instead of getting better.

As a result, the queen decided to send Malty to Faubrey in the name of studying with the King's permission.

However, Egone strongly opposed this and believed that putting her under strict service would be a better solution than sending her off to a foreign country.

He didn't want her to cause any trouble for Melromarc in Faubrey. It seemed like Prince Egone already knew something about Malty even before Morsan informed him.

According to Tizona, Malty was in the same condition as Morsan when he did his first sacrificial ritual, but unlike Morsan, she couldn't retain her sanity, and her soul was constantly in an unstable state.

Malty herself didn't know what she was doing, and how her powers were working, as her emotions were constantly influenced by a mysterious fragment of an unknown entity. Thankfully, that fragment wasn't directly under the control of that entity.

She thinks her beauty and cunning intelligence are the reasons she can convince everyone to obey her orders. In reality, she is acting on her instinct more than her intelligence. 

Morsan and Egone noticed some strange things about her powers. They observed that she couldn't influence people with a high mental fortitude unless their mental defenses weakened to a certain degree.

However, the people who were in desperate situations and had weak mental fortitude were easily influenced by her power.

Melty was chosen as the second in line to the throne because of her older sister's personality issues. After seeing her first daughter raised to be spoiled rotten, Mirellia took Melty under her wing.

As she was raised by the Queen, her personality became a bit sheltered, as Mirellia took Melty to almost every diplomatic meeting to teach her work. Like her mother, she doesn't base her belief on her nation's religion.

Due to her mother's influence, she has grown up hearing tales of the Legendary Heroes.

Despite being stuck in a half-corrupted state, King retained some of his intelligence, he ruled the country as befitting of the name of a wise king and eased the pressure on the queen. Surprisingly, he also started to prevent Malty whenever she planned to do something bad and put a new leash on Malty, which started to ruin their relationship.

On the other side, Egone started to weaken the faction of the king, due to his instability and unpredictability. A lot of old nobles started to shift their support to the prince, he even robbed some competent people from the queen's faction into his, which slightly annoyed Queen Mirellia. 

Tizona said Melromarc was going to break their traditional matriarchal nature very soon due to the constant rise of Prince Egone's power.

When Morsan became 13-year-old his shop started to offer new products, such as bloodlines. Due to Morsan constantly, absorbing the Mana of the sloth god, one of the demon gods, his body constitution changed drastically. Because of that, the very first compatible bloodline offered on his thirteenth birthday belonged to Royal Incubus [Mythical Grade]. The moment Morsan saw the name of Incubus he firmly decided to buy that despite its cost of 1 million shop points. 

"BOY... DON'T INFUSE WITH THAT CURSED BLOODLINE... IT WILL RUIN YOUR FUTURE... THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK OF... YOU WILL REGRET IT IF YOU FUSE WITH THAT... DON'T!!!..."

Despite, Tizona's pleading Morsan fused with the Royal Incubus bloodline. Bloodlines offered in the system shop would be directly fused with him without the need for Tizona's Bloodline Infusion ability. 

Contrary to Tizona's warning, he didn't notice any negative change in his body except his increased talent for magic. He was greatly disappointed that it didn't offer any broken ability as he saw in some novels. 

But his talent for magic never ceases to amaze him in later years, within a year, he ended up mastering Drifa-class enhancement and healing magics, now he can use them without chanting simultaneously. And his blood magic becomes stronger greatly. It's also unlocked his new stats called S.P (Soul Power).

On his fourteenth birthday, he bought the bloodline of Ancient Orc [Mythical Grade], as Tizona instructed him to do. Which gave another boost to his vitality and talent for physical-related abilities. 

Thousands of skills he obtained from bloodline fusions combined and created 24 broken skills by Tizona's Skill Fusion ability. Tizona also leveled up to 45 and unlocked another two abilities named [Bloodline Detection] and [Soul Bond].

In the past six years after he saved the prince, Morsan traveled all the places in the Melromarc and got crazily stronger while completing some mission for Prince Egone on the way.

It's been tough for him in these past six years, not because of monsters or because of corrupted nobles and church people who accused him of things that had nothing to do with him, but because of the asshole Prince who made him a common enemy for all of them.

Whenever he was about to lose his control and cut that prince apart, the hefty money Egone offered him, stopped him from doing that. The only thing that made him happy in those hellish times except his status improvement was his savings of 630 gold coins, 325 silver pieces, and 57 copper pieces.

By the age of middle-fourteen, he got two Cringey and Funny nicknames as his frame raised, such as Child Knight and Blood Knight.
