I Became a Scoundrel of a Chaebol Family-Chapter 47
He accepted the salute and asked,
"Is your name Baek Seol? Is it really Baek Seol?"
"Yes. I am Baek Seol."
"Oh..."
If this girl is the 'Baek Seol' I know, then I've really received something huge from my grandfather. I'm getting to own someone who will eventually become humanity's strongest and greatest knight!
'Should I maybe brew him some herbal medicine as a Chuseok gift?'
"Young master, if you don't like this child's name, perhaps you could give her a new one. She would consider it an honor."
"No, it's fine. It's unique and good. Baek Seol."
Why would I throw away the name of the strongest person in humanity?
"Haha, is that so?"
"More than that, I'd like to proceed with the receiving ceremony quickly."
"Ah! Of course."
The knight receiving ceremony.
As it says, it's a ceremony to receive a knight. It's a privilege only for people like me who have knights to own.
At the training director's signal, the military band changed its tune.
Baek Seol stepped forward, knelt on one knee in front of me, and Sua, who had received a blood extractor from the training director, stood by my side.
Baek Seol spoke. Her voice was firm, but there was a sense of resignation and monotony within it.
"I swear to devote my body and soul to serve my lord with unwavering loyalty. Until the stars in the sky disappear and the waters of the seas dry up, I swear that my loyalty will not change. I swear to burn my body to protect the honor, safety, and dignity of my lord."
I nodded and raised my right hand. Sua handed me the blood extractor.
Press.
As I placed my thumb on the spot designed for fingerprint recognition, a needle popped out and pricked me, drawing blood.
"I hereby appoint Baek Seol as my knight, under Go Mooyeol. Stick out your tongue."
Baek Seol hesitated for about 0.1 seconds before opening her mouth and sticking out her tongue. In the center of her red tongue, something like a circuit board softly revealed itself.
'Once I touch that with my blood... from that moment on, Baek Seol will be mine.'
There was probably some explanation about the principles behind it, but to put it simply, she becomes obedient to me and, over time, will grow to love me or something like that. They say the more genetic information you infuse, the stronger the bond becomes.
'A slave in all but name, without free will.'
I don't know if they see it that way themselves, but from my perspective, that's exactly what it is. At least, in the eyes of the owner family, a knight is just a slave.
'But... is there anyone who thinks otherwise?'
When you think about it, whether they're knights or not, everyone is pretty much a slave in the eyes of the owner family. It's almost meaningless to distinguish between them.
Swoosh.
I moved my hand. Baek Seol flinched.
I pressed my blood-soaked thumb firmly against the center of her tongue.
"Nngh...?!"
Her tongue was soft, moist, and pleasing to the touch. As I pressed it down, rubbing slightly, something like data began flooding into her eyes at an incredible speed.
While she lightly moaned, Baek Seol closed her mouth around my thumb and began sucking on it.
Suck, Suck.
"...!"
To think she'd suck my thumb with such a lewd expression.
Hah, seriously.
If we weren't standing on this platform in the training grounds right now, I'd have already taken out my dick and shoved it into her mouth.
Bam~! Ba-ba-bam-bam-bam~!
The military band changed its tune once again. In this moment, a woman who would go on to become the strongest and greatest knight in human history became wholly mine, body and soul, a knight who would never betray me and forever remain loyal.
+++
The man’s heart burned.
And he felt nauseated.
It felt like he was going to vomit at any moment.
'Baek... Seol...'
A man stood arrogantly on the platform, and before him knelt a woman on one knee.
For over ten years, he had been in love with her. He had dreamt of her for so long.
And when he finally couldn’t bear it any longer, he confessed.
He was rejected more than thirty times. But he didn’t give up.
And finally, finally, just yesterday,
He achieved what he had longed for.
So... starting tomorrow.
Her awkward, shy demeanor.
As she turned away, her violet hair scattered into the air, slowly shimmering as though time had slowed down.
Every moment of her being was imprinted in his mind like a photograph.
I-It’s true, right? No backing out tomorrow, okay?
But now...
"I swear to devote my body and soul to serve my lord with unwavering loyalty. Until the stars in the sky disappear and the waters of the seas dry up, I swear that my loyalty will not change. I swear to burn my body to protect the honor, safety, and dignity of my lord."
That Baek Seol was now making an oath, not a confession, to another, to someone who would become her lord.
A confession of loyalty with all her heart and soul, one so painful to hear.
Do you not understand... what it means to become a personal knight?
'No... Baek Seol, no...'
What if your master is a man? Do you think that person would leave me alone?
Her words flashed through his mind like a montage. And he saw the young lord, Go Mooyeol, extending his hand.
His nerves were on edge.
'If she accepts that blood... Baek Seol will be...!'
He had to do something, anything, to stop the ceremony and save Baek Seol. And after that...
And after that...?
'After that...?'
Blank.
His mind stopped working.
What, what could he even do?
The idea of rescuing Baek Seol from the Go Group’s young lord was laughable enough, but what would come after?
If he did something like that, not only he but Baek Seol would be disposed of as well.
Bam~! Ba-ba-bam-bam-bam~!
“!!!”
While he was hesitating, time had passed. Baek Seol... had already taken the young lord’s thumb into her mouth.
Everything... was over.
'No... it can’t be...'
An overwhelming feeling of despair crashed over him. He felt like he was falling into an endless abyss.
+++
After the ceremony ended and I returned to Baek Seol’s quarters, I opened her stats for the first time in a while.
I had been intentionally avoiding looking at them for fear of becoming too reliant, but I couldn’t resist any longer.
I mean, how could I resist Baek Seol?
In the game, regular knights usually had all their stats marked as ???, but how could I resist looking at Baek Seol’s stats?
So I opened them. And the result was...

<Traits>
Knight, Subordination, Absolute Loyalty, Resignation, Despair...
It was a shock.
So much so that any sexual excitement I had vanished in an instant.
‘What the fuck, is she insane? Her strength is 291?’
As I mentioned before, once the main storyline begins in year 77, most main characters hover around 100-120 in their primary stats.
Which means that a main character having a stat of around 120 is considered high.
But what? 291?
Sure, knights are treated as monsters, national-level weapons, and Baek Seol is destined to become the strongest knight in human history, but this is just ridiculous...
I mean, Inspector Im Sua’s strength is only 69, and Baek Seol’s is more than four times that.
“...Should I take my clothes off, my lord?”
“Hold on. I’m thinking.”
“?? Y-Yes, understood.”
And it’s not just her strength that’s high. Her willpower is 192, her technique 209, and her charisma 117. Even her lowest stat, leadership, is 89, which isn’t low at all.
‘Seo Eunmi... Ha Eunyeong had insanely high stats for their age too, but this is on another level.’
Even with Koryo Prestige’s support, Seo Eunmi, a 23-year-old hacking specialist capable of breaching the prosecutor’s office, only had a tech stat of 108.
Baek Seol’s is 209.
What’s shocking is that these are the stats of a twenty-year-old.
The younger they are and the higher their potential, the faster their stats grow. I can’t even imagine how far Baek Seol will grow.
‘No wonder the government is powerless. Even if they’re not all as exceptional as her, knights like Baek Seol are produced in the hundreds every year. And that’s just from this training center in Nonsan.’
There are many knight training centers, even the officially recognized ones. Including unofficial ones, the number must be much higher.
While some knights are absorbed by the government each year due to agreements, how many can they really take in? When you think about the accumulated number of knights, it’s clear why the Korean government can’t make a move.
And this is just considering physical combat power... When you factor in mechas, there’s no solution to this.
The production of knights is monopolized.
The education of knights is monopolized.
Mecha production is monopolized.
The defense industry is practically monopolized.
At this point, we don’t even need the entire Go Group. Just Go Military alone could control the country.
Honestly, I always had a vague idea of how the Go Group held such power over the nation, but today, I got a glimpse of the real picture.
“But why are her traits like this?”
“Huh?”
“No, nothing. Just lie down and rest.”
“...Understood?”
Baek Seol awkwardly lay down on the bed, and as I watched her, I started thinking.
<Traits>
Knight, Subordination, Absolute Loyalty, Resignation, Despair...
The other traits are understandable, but resignation and despair? It seems she’s resigned and despairing over her current situation...
‘Come to think of it, when I was about to press my thumb on her tongue, her expression looked slightly unwilling. Even her tongue was delayed by a fraction.’
It's not exactly rebellion... After all, she accepted my blood and became mine. But it didn’t quite match the image of a knight I had in mind.
Knights are supposed to be human monsters known for executing orders without hesitation and displaying absolute loyalty. Even if she didn’t have a master yet, why did she hesitate?
Normally, that should be impossible.
‘Is the brainwashing incomplete? Or did something go wrong with the genetic programming due to her absurdly high stats?’
