Count Scribe's Tutor

Chapter 46. Contact (2)

“· · · · · · Why do you ask? ”

Sherlock narrows his eyes and asks questions.

Faced with a cautious look in his eyes, Damien dares to speak out.

“I've been wondering. Ever since you called me. ”

At that point, Serik closes his mouth.

I thought about it quietly and I might. He was a big supporter of Robert's at the Academy.

He closed his eyes for a moment and cleared his mind.

He replied in a stiff tone.

“Prince Two has given us more. That's the only reason."

It was a short but reasonable reason.

When Damien's greetings don't return, he turns around.

“If your curiosity is solved, go back today. I'll see you later. ”

Quack, quack, quack!

The door closes vigorously.

Damien sighs heavily as he is left alone. After a while, he took the pay off on the table, and likewise left the room.

Damien left the hotel soon.

While wandering around for a moment, he suddenly turns to the back alley. I saw the vagrants on the way, but I didn't mind. How long has it been? Damien stops in the middle of nowhere.

At the same time, I heard a loud voice behind my back.

“Good work.”

With that voice, Damien settles down as if to collapse.

His back was wet with sweat and his face was pale. Damien turns his head slowly, trying to calm down the rough breathing.

There's a young man with military blue hair.

It was Ferda.

“You speak better than I expected. ”

Damien trembles again, looking at the smile on his mouth.

It was worth it. Since the first time we entered the hotel, we've been talking to Serik and getting here now, and Ferda's been behind Damien the whole time.

"But how could anyone not know? ’

Ferda is much bigger than Damien, the one that was stuck behind her.

But no one knew he existed. From that, Damien felt quite shocked and terrified.

This meant that Ferda was just as talented.

“Although some information was not obtained, · · · · · · · ·. ”

Meanwhile, Ferda narrows her eyes.

Serik said he left Robert because he had so much to gain from Prince Two. But there must be another reason. It was just a hunch, but I felt like I was missing something.

“Still, it's good enough to give false information. ”

A silvan arcade has made contact with the First Prince.

Of course it didn't happen. But if this false information gets into prince 2's ears, he will definitely try to suppress prince 1 in some way.

The more the two princes resist each other, the wider the time and area that the realm can strengthen. Thinking about it, I suddenly heard Damien's voice.

“Hey, I kept my promise. ”

Promise me that if I give false information to Serik, he'll save my life.

As Ferda recalls this, Damien says in a trembling voice.

“Now it's your turn to keep your promise. ”

“I keep my promises. So don't worry. ”

When the positive answer returns, Damien gives a relieved look.

But for a moment, he continued to answer like the blue wall.

“But I can't let you go just yet. ”

“· · · · · · · Yes? ”

“You said you'd let me go, because I never said you'd let me go. ”

“Ha, but that's...! ”

Damien shouts in embarrassment.

At that moment, Ferda opened her mouth first.

“Damien Wolan. ”

Damien's full name pops out.

Soon, Ferda took a note out of her arms.

“Twenty-one this year. He graduated from the Royal Academy first in his class and is currently a master of the arts, but he originally studied in the Royal Education Department. ”

“ · · · · · ·! ”

Damien's eyes widen.

He will, too, because what Ferda's trying to get out was information about Damien. After that, he spilled out all the information about Damien's birthplace, family relationships, and property.

Soon, Ferda even mentioned the name of the cat Damien raised and shut up. He smiles brightly, facing a white bleached face.

“I have one more thing to do. ”

I wanted to say no, but I couldn't.

Ferda knew everything about him. If you're wrong, not just Damien, but his family. Meanwhile, even though Damien's answer has not returned, Ferda continues to speak.

“Teach the nobleman some basic skills. ”

After that, Damien's eyes suddenly filled with a mysterious light.

“No, it's what a home teacher has to do. ”

“I'm busy. ”

The audacity has returned.

The moment Damien looks baffled, his urgency continues.

“And the answer is? ”

I wish I could say no, but what can I say?

If you don't want to die, you have to nod.

Damien replies, and Ferda smiles satisfied.

* * *

Then Ferda went straight back to the mansion.

As usual, I was heading to the office, and someone called for him.

“Ferda.”

It was Niela.

He quietly approaches, whispering in a small voice.

“Your letter arrived while you were away. ”

“Letter?”

“Yes, this is a letter from the royal family. ”

Ferda's eyes glisten, frightened at the end of the speech.

Finally, something came up. It's definitely about the approval ceremony. The approval ceremony will take place in the next two days.

In conclusion, his expectations were half right.

Because there was one other letter from the royal family besides the approval.

Ferda sits on a chair, staring quietly at the letter on the table.

“I didn't expect an invitation to come here. ”

Another letter is an invitation to a banquet hosted by the royal court.

In fact, I was surprised to find Ferda included. Ferda looks at it quietly and is troubled.

“Well, what do we do? ”

Attending a banquet is like debuting in the social world.

However, there was no reason for him to debut in social circles. Now that the two princes have dominated most of the nobles, there is no way to increase their new power, and they are more likely to only be restrained.

“But · · · · · · · · ·. ”

If it's Ferda, the story is different.

Unlike reality, he had something to gain. The biggest income was to meet as many nobles as possible.

“Memorize your face and body size, and you'll find it useful in the future. ”

Ferda pulls out the cloth mask and smiles lightly.

You could act like a prince if you could. When I was troubled by the joyful imagination, suddenly someone knocked on the door.

Knock, knock.

After a while, the person who came in through the door was a surprise.

“I brought coffee. ”

The protagonist of the blunt voice is a young man with bandages.

It was the Mercedes Ohm. Meanwhile, Ferda's sudden appearance made a curious expression, and Merced replied with a bold, distinctive tone.

“We are being trained to adapt to the human world. ”

As soon as I heard that, I suddenly remembered something a week ago.

At that time, reality said, For the sake of Merced, who has no common sense, I will personally train him. I don't know what you're thinking, but Ferda gives you her permission to do just one less job.

After that, Merced entered the mansion in a variety of ways.

Three days ago, you mowed the lawn in the backyard, right? ’

And I remember cleaning the bathroom yesterday.

So this is also a kind of education that the real world teaches. By the time Ferda made an understandable face, a steaming coffee cup was placed on the table.

“I made it exactly as it says in the notebook, but if it doesn't taste good, tell me. ”

It looked like it was made for the first time.

Ferda had half a cup of coffee with a shivering face. Then I opened my eyes wide.

“Oh, that's not bad. ”

“I see. Good. ”

Was it because of low expectations? Much better than I expected

I was sipping elongated coffee.

Suddenly, there was a question that struck Ferda's brain.

“But who told you about making coffee? ”

No one could make coffee in this mansion.

So Ferda always bought coffee outside whenever she wanted to drink it. At that moment, Merced gives a surprising answer.

“The truth told me. ”

“Really? ”

Why the sudden realization?

When Ferda asks a question, Merced nods.

“He drinks every now and then. ”

Somehow I'm getting more sleep these mornings.

Ferda twitches her eyebrows in unexpected mysteries. Then he glances at the backyard outside the window and opens his mouth again.

“What are you doing right now? ”

“I'm reading in my room. ”

“Fetch me a moment, no. I'll go.”

Ferda gets up from her seat and walks straight down the hall.

Soon after, Ferda arrives in front of the room and knocks on the door. But the answer never came back. Normally, he would have opened the door as soon as he got to the front of the room.

I was curious, Ferda opened the door. Then he realized why the answer had not returned. It was because he fell asleep on his desk.

The page of the book unfolds next to you, with a hissing breath.

Ferda, who saw this, took the book elsewhere and took out the blanket. But was it too loud? His ears twitch.

“· · · · · · · Howl, Ferda? ”

She rubs her sleepy eyes and yawns.

“Ahem. When did you get here? ”

“I just got here. But I think I've been taking a lot of naps lately. ”

It was exactly a week ago.

I knew very well why. At that time, he smiled beautifully.

“Well, actually, I'm teaching Merced a thing or two. That's why I sleep a lot when the sun comes up. Hehe.”

I'm so proud of you. I'm so proud of you.

Ferda bursts into flames. Whether you know how he feels or not, the truth is, he's just wandering around. Looking at that, Ferda turns her head.

“I saw that the lawn in the backyard was very well-groomed. ”

“Oh! That's what I asked Merced to do. ”

“Looks just right for a run. I don't think it's going to dust. ”

“You know, for the first time ever, you're good at it. Huh?”

The reality of answering with an excited voice suddenly closed its mouth. It was because I felt something strange in my previous conversation.

At the same time, Ferda grins.

“Starting tomorrow, the weather time will be fixed at 7 am. ”

“ · · · · · ·! ”

His eyes widened.

Upon his sudden departure, he asked puzzled.

“Now, wait a minute! What's that supposed to mean? ”

“Haha, what does that mean? ”

Ferda's eyes flash fiercely.

“It's time to tighten the loose screws. ”

It was a metaphor, but the reality was clear.

After a while, it was not necessary to say that the complexion of the realm was pale.

* * *

Time flies like an arrow.

Two days later in the afternoon. The two priests rode their wagons to the castle. He was accompanied by the knights and arrived at the hall where the approval ceremony was scheduled.

“Wait here for a moment. ”

The knight lowers his head slightly.

After being left alone, the reality sighed with a somewhat stiff face. It seemed like he couldn't shake the unique pressure that was given to him.

“How are you feeling? ”

Ferda talks nonsense.

Then the unexpected answer came back.

“Ugh, I think I'm going to die of exhaustion. ”

I thought I was nervous, but I guess I was tired.

Ferda laughs in disgust.

“It's all because I'm low on stamina. ”

“No, I think it's because of the early morning fitness training. ”

“So let's double the training strength starting tomorrow. ”

“· · · · · · Hey, are you listening to me? ”

I asked as if the reality was strange.

In the middle of such a polite conversation, the knights who had hidden themselves came back.

“You've waited a long time. ”

“Now I'm going to open the door. ”

With a blunt tone.

The door that was blocking the two priests opened wide.
