Count Scribe's Tutor

It started raining today.

I originally tried to have tea time in the garden, but now it looks like it's hard to get out. I can't help it. Sometimes it's good to have tea in your room listening to the rain.

That's what she thought.

Not long after that.

Looking at the raindrops knocking on the window, I was drinking a warm tea.

She hears an unexpected report.

"· · · · · · Now, what?"

Keep your mouth slightly open.

Lyanne looks at the knight before her eyes.

Archer Shredd. He is the most trusted knight in this mansion. She was 13 years old. He was a knight who knelt before her and pledged his allegiance.

Then he said with a stiff face.

"Alaf was found dead."

Lyanne's hands tremble with a cup of tea in Archer's report.

I'm familiar with the name. How can you not tell?

It was Leanne who commissioned him.

She was momentarily stunned, and then she regained consciousness. I needed to know why Alaf died and why. But I couldn't stop my voice from shaking a little.

"Has the curse already been completed? We were supposed to get rid of it when it was over."

"I didn't take care of it. I also heard the curse is just beginning."

The Archer blurs with an awkward face.

At the same time, Lyanne's eyes become confused.

So who killed him?

As Lyanne looks confused, Archer opens her mouth again.

"This is my guess, but I think I got a grudge against someone else."

"Revenge?"

"Yes, it would be easy for him to hold grudges in his profession."

Bear thought it was a reasonable guess.

The real Alaf is a commander. It's definitely easier to hold a grudge than the others. However, Leanne's heart did not change at all. I felt anxious because I missed something.

Did he notice this? Archer speaks politely.

"If you'd like, I can investigate separately."

"Please, Lord Shireed."

The answer I wanted was a slight smile on her lips. Archer bows his head and leaves the room that way. With the sound of the door closing, Lyanne is left alone in the room.

Thug thug!

Raindrops knocking on windows. I thought it was a pleasant rain, but now I feel irritated just hearing it. Everything I thought was going well was wrong.

"Phew, who the hell."

Nothing ever works out.

It's no wonder I can't breathe.

Meanwhile, the time.

There was someone hiding on the ceiling of the mansion.

A young man in his late 20s in dark gray camouflage.

It was Ferda.

What are you talking about? ’

He had a surprised look on his face.

About ten minutes from now.

Ferda finds Lyanne's mansion. It may be raining, but the boundaries are not very strict. Thanks to you, I was able to reach the ceiling of Leanne's room without any trouble.

He overheard all the conversations here.

And Ferda was as surprised as Lyanne. It was because of the news that the cursed commander suddenly died.

‘You can't be dead already. ’

Alaf in the original is quite a long string.

He may have failed the curse, but he's been the villain who keeps plotting with Lyanne ever since.

And you're already dead? How so?

There is confusion in Ferda's eyes.

‘· · · · · · · However. ’

It could be a good thing.

He was going to take care of it after he finished here anyway.

‘Let's assume we have less work to do. ’

I was a little worried about who killed him, but I didn't touch him.

‘Now · · · · · · · · · ·. ’

It's time to fulfill your purpose here.

Ferda's cold eyes. Then what he pulled out was a cute bunny mask. It's the same mask I used in the underground market.

Swook

After wearing a mask, Ferda puts her hand on the floor of the ceiling.

‘It must have been around here somewhere. ’

There is a magical lamp that illuminates the way.

The magic lamp that ignites Mana is quite a delicate magical tool.

Therefore, if you inject a large amount of magical power into this place instantly, it will be overwhelming.

Puang!

Just like this.

The fire in the room goes out with a small bang.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, it's dark.

Lyanne's eyes turn round.

"Why fire · · · · · · · · · · · ·."

She turns around. to light a candle.

But Lyanne could not move her feet.

I heard a strange voice behind my back.

"Don't move."

"· · · · · ·!"

Ice cold voice.

In an unexpected situation, Lyanne was stiff.

"Hands up. Close your mouth, don't turn your head."

It was a dry tone.

Lyanne bites her lip slightly.

If you scream from here, her knight who just left will return. Then we can punish this tyrant.

I didn't have much to worry about.

When I took a deep breath to scream!

Kwaak

"Woohoo!"

A piece of cloth suddenly pierced my mouth.

His actions did not stop there. You remove her right hook and cover her face. Then I stuck Lyanne's head against the wall.

Bang!

That's a pretty big sound.

Even if the pain was a second, my head would be pounding right now. Lyanne staggers and sighs in agony. Ferda opens her mouth with an unconscious eye.

"Lianne Neshard."

In a much lower voice than usual, he revealed information about the novel 'Lianne Neshard'.

"The fourth daughter of Earl Neshard. When I turned 15, I married Earl Archdut. Known as a romance that surpasses the age of twelve, it's actually just an ugly transaction of marriage."

Meanwhile, Lyanne is unable to regain consciousness.

It was also due to the impact of the head on the wall, but more importantly, it was the words coming out of his mouth.

"· · · · · ·!"

She shudders at that word.

Then the man spoke again.

"Did you hate her that much?"

"No!"

Leanne exclaims to herself.

Rather, she liked you. So I couldn't take it any more. The fact that the man she chose is the youngest son of a worthless writer.

So Lyanne asked Earl Archdut, the opponent of the marriage. Help me change my mind.

And Earl Archdut did her a favor in a way that he had never thought of.

‘I wouldn't kill you either. ’

Killed the eldest son of the writer who was supposed to marry my sister. Moreover, you can see the precision of the scene as if it were being raided by monsters.

And a month after this news broke,

Lyanne's sister died by her own neck.

When Leanne trembled at the thought of a memory she wanted to forget, Ferda opened her mouth again.

"I know. You did it for her. I didn't expect Earl Archdut to do something so violent."

Lyanne's eyes widen.

It was a secret only she and Earl Archdut knew. How does he know that?

The answer was simple.

‘Cause I saw it in a novel. ’

Quite lately, the truth.

I remember being surprised because it was a somewhat reverse factor.

And there was one more truth he could use. It's not just the two, it's the secret that Lyanne has.

‘But first · · · · · · · · · ·. ’

We need to warn them first.

He said in a low sunken voice.

"Silvan arcade. And Ferda Inoside."

The air in the room shifts sharply as you pull it up a little.

Lyanne's arm gives me goosebumps. Only after checking her noticeably trembling shoulders did Ferda open her mouth again.

"These two are our prey. If I interrupt, I won't let you."

I purposely called it "we."

Makes it impossible to gauge the identity or scale of the opponent. Then you will feel greater fear.

And Ferda's intentions worked.

Lyanne's eyes trembled violently.

"I've already dealt with one intruder."

Lyanne swallows a dry saliva.

It's because there was something touching the brain at the moment.

‘It can't be Alafdo.' ’

"A commander with the same curse. Did he say Alaf?"

Lyanne's face hardens.

At the same time, Ferda's strength became stronger.

He grunts low, sincerely, with an expressionless tone.

"I'll warn you again. The two you've been after are our prey. Don't touch me. Don't provoke me. If you don't want the truth to come out."

"· · · · · ·."

Unexpectedly unresponsive

Is it okay to reveal the truth like this?

Well, that's just the way it is. It's already been 10 years, and most of all, the writer collapsed without a sound.

So how do you react to the second truth?

"Oh, by the way, I heard another funny sound."

I flicked my fingers as if I'd forgotten something.

Then he whispered in ridicule.

"I heard that the Archdut may not be descended from a true Earl."

"· · · · · ·!"

There was definitely a reaction this time.

I jumped like a hook on a pole.

The smile on my mouth became deeper.

"I get it. Fifteen's a girl's age, right? There must be enough to fall in love with a knight who made a pledge of allegiance."

In a word, one word sharpened Lyanne's heart.

Her face turns white.

This was a story no one should ever know.

Where the hell did you hear that?

We don't even know the story of the Knights of Allegiance.

Ferda slaps him on the shoulder.

Tuk-tuk

"I'll tell you one last time."

A calm voice.

He pounces.

"If you interrupt us one more time, your secret will be everyone's truth."

Lyanne's body trembles.

It was the only thing I had to stop. If this gets in his ear, it's not too much of an end.

That's when Ferda died.

"It'll be worth seeing when Earl Archdut finds out."

To the end.

Fluffy

Lyanne collapses. Half in the face.

Ferda looks down at her and turns away.

"Of course you can, but don't talk about today."

"· · · · · ·."

"If Earl Archdut doesn't want to know the truth."

With one last word, Ferda hides herself in the room.

Shortly thereafter, a trembling sensation filled the room.

* * *

That evening.

In fact, I spilled Ferda with a fat face.

He will, too, because he's an hour late from the meal he promised.

"· · · · · · Why are you so late?"

"I'm here to take care of some business."

"Business?"

He tilts his head.

Ferda shakes his head with a bloody smile.

"You'll be fine now."

"Huh? What?"

But the answer never came back.

Shining in his eyes.

It was just Ferda's silent smile.
