Count Scribe's Tutor

A magnificent wagon stopped in front of the mansion.

The door of the wagon with the symbol of the royal family crest opens wide.

A moment later, what came down from inside was a man of the balls, Second Prince Argal Winvester, the Knight of Sarphene's Escort.

Meanwhile, the entrance to the mansion was wide open.

After a while, an Elf appeared. As soon as he found Argal, he politely greeted him.

“I've been expecting you. My name is Niela, the chief of Heindel who serves as the next archduke. ”

“King Sarfene's knight, Argal Winvester. ”

Simply finish your birth name.

Argal raises his concerns in a dry voice.

“Where is the Archdut Confucius? ”

“You'll be here soon. Please wait a moment.”

Niela bows once more.

Not long after that. From afar, reality appeared. Argar narrows her eyes when she finds it. It was because I noticed a different look at the previous banquet.

White shirt, red tie, black vest and suit. I also had a different hairstyle. I tied my dirty hair neatly backwards. To be honest, I felt more refined now.

But there was a real reason for catching my eye.

‘· · · · · · · · Something changed. ’

Argal's eyes narrow.

The reality that I saw today was quite different from what I had seen at the banquet. The atmosphere looked much calmer, and the gaze was not too awkward.

As Argal's eyes began to narrow.

Ujik

One day, I came to my senses.

He gave a natural greeting with a light smile.

“It's been a long time. Lord Winvest.”

“· · · · · · Arcade Confucius. ”

In his voice, Argal replies late by a single beat.

However, his gaze did not leave his face. Did he feel a blatant look in his eyes? In fact, he smiled awkwardly and asked.

“Did you put something on my face? ”

“I don't think so. No, it's nothing. ”

Argal shakes his head to clear his mind. Nevertheless, I didn't fully reveal my suspicious expression. Seeing this, Ferda smiled deeply.

‘You have a good feeling about this. ’

I was thinking about the setting point for Argal, which was mentioned in the original article.

Argal turns the conversation elsewhere.

“I felt it on my way here, but the mansion was somewhat remote. ”

He's telling the truth. This area is also quite adjacent to the Slum in the south of the capital. Even a nobleman from the countryside would never stay here.

“Is there a particular reason you have a mansion here? ”

Argal's eyes flash fiercely for a moment.

A special reason? Of course there was.

To put an end to the dark man's struggle in the southern back alley and consume the dark waters of the entire capital. And this was being done step-by-step by Ragney.

However, Ferda purposely made an awkward expression because she could not tell the truth about it. Then I sighed with regret.

“More than just a special reason, I think I was not prepared for my first visit to the capital. Next time, I'm going to stay in a better place. ”

Breathing was constant and no tremors in voice.

This means that it is not a lie. Argal nods as if he understood.

“You'll be able to stay in a much better place next time. ”

After a meaningful tale of virtue, he steps aside. Then I opened the door of the wagon wide. Ferda smiles and boards the wagon, guided by Argal.

Then, Argal asked with a curious face.

“Hmm? Are you going alone? ”

“I intend to. Is there a problem? ”

“No, it's not a problem. I just can't see the article you've been carrying around with me. ”

Of course. The knight that Argal was talking about is already in the wagon. Then Ferda replied with a clever act.

“Ah! If you're referring to Ferda, she's gone for a while. He said he had a personal errand to run. ”

“I see. Thank you for telling me. ”

After solving the mystery, Argal boarded the wagon straight away.

Shortly after, the royal carriage left the mansion and headed for its destination.

* * *

Soon after arriving, it was an unexpected place.

Sarphene's villa just outside the castle. The knights who have been waiting for you to get out of the wagon are coming. Then I took their guidance and moved into the villa.

Soon after, the arrival was at a table in the backyard of the villa.

Immediately, the person who called him here revealed himself.

“Welcome, Silvan Archdut. ”

Her gray eyes glisten beyond the burning candle.

Sarphene, second prince of the Kingdom of Laderone.

After he woke up, he approached Ferda.

“You've come a long way. ”

“Thank you for inviting me to your dinner. Your Majesty.”

“Haha, what a thank-you between us. ”

Sarphene bursts into laughter.

The banquet began with a generous welcome greeting. Whether it was a coincidence or something else, the menu on the table was mostly just the food that he liked.

The meal was done in a warm atmosphere. At least not as politically correct as I am here. I just exchanged pragmatic conversations.

Shortly after, the table was quickly cleared out after the meal. Then a teacup and a kettle of warm tea were placed.

Having a cup of tea while sharing a light conversation

“Then I heard a funny story. ”

Sarphene suddenly changed the subject of the conversation.

“I heard you visited a special place recently? Or two. ”

Two places so special that the prince himself mentioned them.

You're talking about the Duke of Setier's mansion and the steeple. Ferda relaxes and squeezes the car, then nods at you in an unorthodox tone.

“Yes, I couldn't refuse because I was invited. ”

From the beginning, I told him everything that had happened.

Everything except the sensitive part was true. It means you've already got a lot of information. Here, if you tell a lie, you will lose trust for no reason.

‘Then the reason I'm here is gone. ’

Sarphene will be drawn into the realm. That way we can win a certain civil war in the future. And Ferda, too, did not intend for Sarphene to refuse her hand.

Of course, they just pretend to hold hands.

‘Sarphene is not a great partner. ’

Referring to the previous round, he is a ‘tyrant with self-centered thinking’.

Moreover, it has a fierce heterophobia. In the previous round, the answers can only be found by gathering the foreign races in the kingdom and making them out of swords.

‘But that doesn't make me an enemy at all. ’

Robert, the former three princes who held hands, had no power. Therefore, it is also difficult to join the civil war immediately. So how does Robert win? The answer was simple.

‘We must fight each other to destroy ourselves. ’

To do so, you can reduce each other's power by pretending to support one prince. And then, when the time was ripe, it was enough to go into civil war around Robert.

‘So · · · · · · · · · ·. ’

For now, it was right for Sarphene to cooperate as best she could.

So Ferda talks about everything from her stay at the Duke of Setier's mansion to her stay at the tower. Of course, I hid the part about my guardian and Isha.

How long has it been?

Sarphene, who was listening to the story, shouted with a somewhat recalled face.

“Haha, that's amazing! That's what Earl Keshmif said. ”

“A compliment, Your Grace. ”

Ferda bows with a humble face.

That's how the story ended in the tower. Argall, who had left the constellation, reappears.

“· · · · · · · Electricity. ”

Aragal whispering to Sarphene.

I couldn't hear what he was saying. Just because you imitate reality doesn't mean you can imitate hearing.

Shortly after, Sarphene stopped whispering and made an awkward expression. However, my expression changed somewhat unnaturally. That meant he was making that face on purpose.

“Hmmm! I'm talking about it for a long time, but I'm sorry. ”

Sarphene is blurry with a cough.

Then, he spoke in a gentle tone.

“May I invite a guest? ”

“Yes? If it's a guest · · · · · · · · · · ·? ”

“I know someone I know personally, and I've been so curious since I heard about you. ”

What the hell is this all about?

Suspicion grows swifter. But you can't say no in this situation. So I nodded happily, hiding my insides.

“I'm fine. ”

“Thank you for understanding. Let them in.”

Not long after Sarphene's words are finished.

Along with the knights, a man in a black robe appears. He was a relatively ordinary, middle-aged man with brown hair and eyes. As soon as he met Sarphene's eyes, he fell facedown.

“A humble man greets the great prince. ”

“It's been a long time, Erona. ”

It's awkward to know, but too awkward.

It was clear that he was up to something. Ferda stares at the middle-aged man, her senses sharpened. Then Sarphene tapped him on the back.

“This is the Silvan-Arkdutt Confucius I was telling you about. ”

“Ah, it's good to see you, Duke. My name is Erone Desimire. ”

Errond, who was introduced as a slightly dismissive tournament.

And after a while, an unexpected answer followed.

“I'm lacking in skills, but I'm studying commandos. ”

The moment I heard that.

Sarphene's plot is revealed.

"Are you going to test your skills? ’

Thinking about it, I was most likely to do so.

Because Sarphene only heard about how great the reality was. They must have created this situation because they wanted to see it for themselves.

‘That's good to hear. ’

If it weren't for the three ghosts hiding nearby, I would have seen the ruin.

When I was admired by the foresight of reality. Eron suddenly tilts his head as he watches Ferda carefully.

“But it's a little strange. ”

“Hmm? What do you mean? ”

It was Sarphene who answered him.

At the same time, Erod spoke in an unsuspecting tone.

“I hear the Archdut Confederate is quite a powerful commander. Now, if you'll excuse me, I don't feel any negative magic in a Confucius. ”

“What? You must be mistaken. ”

“No, it doesn't matter how many times I check it. ”

Aaron was right.

Ferda doesn't have as much Mana as dust in a negative dimension. At that time, Sarphene's gaze turned this way.

The look that demands an answer.

Ferda stops contemplating and opens her mouth.

“The magic of the negative dimension has a dark nature. ”

Eron stares at him with a sudden answer.

However, I continued to elongate without hesitation.

“Expanding without cravings has a negative impact on the people around you. So they usually hide it very thoroughly. I didn't even notice the same commander. ”

He frowns.

He immediately disagreed.

“Expanding the magic of the negative dimension and creating a negative impact is overwhelming. Considering the age of the Confucius, this is practically impossible. ”

“Then I'll show you some of the power I have. ”

Ferda stops speaking to Aaron.

Then he smiled, looking at Sarphene.

“Of course, if Your Majesty allows it. ”

“If it's not dangerous, I'd be happy to let you. ”

I woke up from my seat as soon as permission fell. Then I took a big step and stood face Erone. Ferda slowly raises her hands, taking in a single body the eyes of curiosity, interest, doubt and vigilance.

‘I told him to call whenever he needed to. ’

As a sign of real-life thinking in your head.

Oh, shit!

I bounced my fingers hard.

Then the familiar energy flows from behind your back.

It was the appearance of three spirits, a devoted servant of the realm.

Not long after that.

Eron's face soon became dull.
