Legend

Elaine's return and Ray's visit with a deep red alias.

The report is also quickly passed on to the nobles who are naturally in Anesis.

In Anesis, the home of the Duke of Kelp, noble mansions… On the contrary, many royal and neutral nobles also have mansions available.

It is similar to the fact that there are different noble mansions in Gilm to get some information.

There is still quite a bit of time before the beginning of the year, but for some reason… some aristocrats have already come to Anesis, even though they still have time until the beginning of the year to discuss it with other aristocrats and make connections with nobles other than those they know.

Many such aristocrats naturally gather information about the Duke of Kelevel family, and by no means many are targeting Elaine as their own or their own son's wedding partner.

… Although there are many aristocrats who regard Elaine as their wedding partner.

Elaine has become a symbolic presence among the nobles as a princess general.

The person is also very competent and beautiful.

If a royalist nobleman could make such a presence his wife, the nobleman's forces would undoubtedly fall.

Of course, the aristocrats aren't the size of Elaine alone right now, so just because Elaine's gone doesn't mean first things like disintegrating, but she definitely would still be less influential.

It should be noted that the neutral nobility also corresponds to Anesis, but whoever so desires Elaine as his wife there is not superficial in the least.

Most likely, that can only be done because the neutrals are smaller factions than kings and nobles.

Because it is a small faction, it takes the form of a unification by the strong charisma of the Dusker that leads it.

Although smaller than kings and aristocrats, neutralists are also one of the three major factions.

The magnitude is overwhelmingly greater than the population of the nobles of the elephant around it.

If so, naturally, there is no reason why none of us should be dissatisfied with Dusker.

Together, more than the various nobles are gathered in Anesis, the nobles who learned of Elaine's return and Ray's visit take it upon themselves and begin to act.

"Don't be ridiculous! Even though he has an alias, he says that the adventurer style is acting with Elaine! Take a break from jokes, too!

The man screams and throws at the man who came with a report to entrust him with the power of a glass containing wine.

The glass, made of glass, naturally breaks when it hits a man's face, surrounded by liquor... and the blood of a man cut with glass fragments falls to the floor.

Still, a man doesn't seem to be complaining about the master he serves without being slight.

A noble man who was barely pressured by the man's gaze, or threw a glass of wine in it, sits back in his chair, although he remained dissatisfied with his expression.

"Damn, my father told me to come closer to Elaine... Elaine is Elaine too. If you are an aristocrat, it would be preferable to engage with other aristocrats than with a wild dog style like an adventurer."

The man in front of me is bleeding out of my face, but there's no way the man who's complaining cares about it.

On the contrary, I carry it to my mouth when I pour a bright red wine into a new glass in a way I don't think the man is there.

That's how the aromatic wine flavor that spreads throughout the mouth also slightly subsided the frustration that was found in the man.

The man, once again, thinks about what he should do now… immediately smiles.

But that grin is an abusive grin.

"Right, no matter how much you have the alias Deep Red, in the end it's just an adventurer look. Then would it be best if you regret imitating that you broke in with my Elaine? From what I've heard, they're turning Griffon into an obedient demon. No, or should I dedicate an item box?

Whimpering, the man imagines when other nobles... no, he gets what even royalty tries to get.

But...... if a man imagines and immerses himself in pleasure, it still has the worst consequences if he actually tries to do it.

Because I know that, the man dripping blood and wine Shizuku from his face opens his mouth.

"Please don't, Master Geiska. We have heard that Deep Red is not one who hesitates to exercise his power when dealing with nobles. If we imitate the name of the Marquis Seysor here..."

"Shut up."

Whether the advice of the man who interrupted the imagination of the future - which we should call paranoia to be precise - was unpleasant, Geiska glances at the man in front of her.

"What are you talking about, you. I'm from the Marquis Seysol, aren't I? You think you can do something about me, adventurer?

An adventurer can't possibly imitate himself. No, you can't be forgiven.

To Gaiska, who tells him so, the man shakes his neck to the side.

... At that time, blood and wine Shizuku were also scattered around, but the man had something to do before he cared about it.

I'm trying to get a little bit out on Ray, the job of stopping Geiska.

Until now, I guess I don't even think that adventurers do harm to themselves, even though they have aliases, just to Gaiska, who has always been bowed his head and lived with respect.

From Geiska's common sense, that's for sure. I have no doubt...... that is only a story within the narrow world that Geiska has.

There are many things in the world that Geiska can't imagine.

And Ray, with his deep red alias, was also definitely outside the imagination of such a Gaiska.

"Do you remember Lord Renodis, who was supposed to be the next head of the Marquis Immerhen family?

"Of the Marquis Immerhen family...?

I wonder why Gaiska suddenly comes up with that name.

The Marquis Imarhen is a nobleman who belongs to the nobility as well as the Marquis Seysor.

Sometimes it's the same Marquis family, with a strong rival heart for each other.

That's such a fierce rivalry that it's not strange to turn into hostility if you make a few mistakes, and that's why Gaiska also knew about the Marquis Imarhen family.

Most importantly, compared to Renodis, the next Lord, Gaiska is four men, even though he is the son of the Marquis.

In the elder brother and the four men, even under the same title of Marquis, the status becomes very different.

If this is still the second son, it will be given a lot of importance in the treatment of spare for when something happens to the eldest son, but if this is all four men... it will become a spare for the eldest son.

To a greater extent than in such a position, I have had conversations with Renodis.

Geiska remembers the face of a confident man, why does that name come up here? and question.

And the doubt, naturally, was directed at the man who gave the Renodis name in front of him.

"Why is Renodis' name coming up here?

"Do you remember the war against the Bestian Empire that took place some years ago?

"Naturally. That war made it clear that our country is better than the Bestian Empire."

It was also a pleasure for Gaiska that his country had beaten a country that had fought so many times before.

After all, those barbarians are inferior to themselves.

Because that was the war that became clear.

... while I'm at it, I don't know much about the existence of Ray, the biggest factor in winning that war, because, in the end, it's the realization that the adventurer is only the lower bitch for Geiska.

"The deep red ray is influencing Lord Renodis' zero fall from the seat of the next head of the Marquis Imarhen family."

"... what? Tell me more."

"Ha. On the battlefield, Master Renodis had a problem with Ray, and as a result, he was injured by Ray's hand amputating his arm"

To that word, Gaiska didn't know what he was told for a moment.

Based on Geiska's common sense, nobility… and the next Lord of the Marquis must not let the adventurer's style scratch him.

Instead of scratches, it also caused major injuries such as amputation of the arm.

"Is that a fact?

"Yes, so Ray has to hesitate or forgive, even if his opponent is noble. And that's how it came to be recognized."

"... that's unpleasant"

For Gaiska, who is proud to be drawing the blood of the Marquis, Ray's presence of disrespect for nobility, for example, was only an unpleasant opponent.

Most importantly, even the next head of the Marquis could easily amputate his arm.

It is easy to predict that you will raise your hand without hesitation against yourself, the Four Men of the Marquis.

It was also irritating, and Gaiska stared abominably as if the dish on the table was Ray's face.

"Heh... the shadow of a man to that Elaine, huh? Does that guy look good? You're an adventurer with a deep red alias, aren't you?

A short distance from the mansion of the Marquis of Seysor, where Geiska is located, the mansion of the Count of Mulls.

entrusted with the mansion, Terez Mulls, Count Mulls' second daughter, asks the person who came with the information over a cup of tea.

"Mary told me you were a little boy."

"Boy? But I'm here with Master Elaine, an adventurer with an alias, so isn't that strange to describe?

"Right. A boy may be a little overwhelming... but I'm pretty sure he's small."

Networking between maids is fast information.

Even if it is a maid serving another house, in some cases it is so much so that she is informed before the Lord knows it.

Therese had looked at it and had instructed the maids working at the Anesis mansion to actively interact with the maids of other houses.

As a result, it would be in Terez's hands that information could be obtained relatively quickly.

… even though the source is more of a mix of demas and aspirations than a maid's review.

"So why don't we go see Lady Elaine tomorrow? I'd like to see someone named Ray, who's deep red, in person."

"You like ladies, too.... No, there will be a lot of people interested when they find out about this."

For aristocratic nobles... No, for non-aristocratic nobles, Elaine, alias General Princess, is a person of great significance.

Fewer are uninterested in it because such a person has brought back a man.

Aside from whether that interest is favorable or malicious.

The maid says so with a grin at Terez's words like that, but she leans her neck.

"But, ma'am. If Master Elaine were to return, naturally more people would want to see her. When that happens, I don't think it's that easy for a lady to see you..."

"The neighborhood... well, I think we'll figure it out if we meet Arla. Besides, I didn't say I'd see Lady Elaine alone. Invite some friends."

Sounds fun... it seemed fun from the bottom of his heart and Therese smiled.

"What? Is that that deep red ray?... I see, with that being said, the aristocrats and neutrals have been approaching lately"

Lanigs Musei, the second son of the Baron Musei family, made himself a royalist nobleman and nodded as convinced by the information that Elaine's return and Ray had accompanied him.

To such Lanigus' words, the knight man who came with the information tilts his neck.

"Really? When I had seen it before, noble nobles were adding difficulty to neutral nobles.... but as soon as Uncle Larks showed up, he ran away."

"Well, let's say the aristocracy isn't about kings, it's big. Many idiotic aristocrats only have a sense of privilege. But above... at least the Duke of Kelp is seriously trying to work with the Neutralists. Evidence of this is that he was sending his beloved daughter to a guild under construction."

There is also information in the Kings that, naturally, noble nobles did not find the construction of the Guild interesting and were trying to obstruct it.

The Kings, who make themselves the largest faction of the kingdom of Mireana and list as leaders a presence at the apex of power called the King, are naturally also very intelligent.

That's why he was also getting the kind of information Lanigus had just spoken of.

"Up, is it? I hope this isn't a hassle."

"I don't know. The Kings are definitely the biggest faction. So many of them are moving as they please, and few are ever looking to make His Majesty's memory better."

In Lanigus' words, the knight man gives a disgusting look.

"When Master Lanigus says that, it's mostly a commotion, right?"

"You can blame me.... Anyway, the fact that Deep Red Ray is here now will definitely mean he's going to be at the New Year's party. Then perhaps… no, no doubt there will be some sort of disturbance"

"So please don't say that."

The knight man sighed imagining the hassle that was about to happen.
