Marquis' Express Butler

When I returned to my accommodation, I locked the door immediately and removed the bed. Immediately, a secret space appeared, and I took out the box that was stored there.

It's still light. Waving it may contain something, but it doesn't seem to carry any weight. It looks like a paper document.

Now, let's get started.

The plan is simple.

“Break this in one shot. ”

If there was anything weighing down or shaking heavily, he would be reluctant to break it. But what was inside seemed to be a different material.

“Phew.”

With the box on the ground, I close my eyes and raise my concentration.

At the same time, Mana in her heart starts to flutter. Soon Mana raced the Manat circuit that I had sharpened every day. Mysterious power began to boil throughout my body.

But I focused more and more, gathering more and more of that power with my right hand.

Popot!

The spark is working and full of blue energy.

Obviously, the more I studied, the faster and more I felt like I was gathering. We don't know how far the self-study has gone, but we need to keep practicing for a while.

“Hiya!”

I punched straight away without waiting.

Qajik!

The crack in the chest creaks with the sound of a tree crumbling. Again, it seemed that it was not a box made of normal material.

It's working. One more time.

I clenched my fist again.

Blah!

Success.

The box split in half and vomited out what was inside. I thought it contained something important, but it came out of a few folded sheets of paper.

“What is it? Is it some kind of house document? ”

I thought it might not be as big as I expected.

I took the paper from Mana's hand and examined the contents. How long have you read it? When I realized the plans on this piece of paper, I felt a chill.

“This... isn't normal work, is it? ”

I read the paperwork again to make sure nothing was missing. And I read it again to see if I understood the content correctly. Soon I sighed.

“Cornell. You're planning something big. ”

What was written on the paper was in line with Sapiella's area of ​ ​ affection. It was detailed about when, where, how, and where she was going out.

And in the last chapter, the purpose of this document was revealed.

Who are we?

At the very least, I'm Cornell, and in order to fill out this paperwork, I need someone who knows exactly what's going on inside the mansion.

It was as detailed as a spy writing a report.

Of course, there could be other accomplices. However, there was also a bond with the Alcaine Merchant Guild, so the first person to consider is Cornell.

“What do we do? We need to get this out of the way fast. ”

I feel like I'm opening Pandora's Box.

The first person to come to mind is Barian, the Knight Leader. Fortunately, when I was working at Rosetta, I was familiar with his face. Contacting is no problem at all.

The second person who came to mind was Sapiella herself.

I had no choice but to admit that I watched Cornell deal with this Trainer case. She's smart.

Without making a big deal of it, I chose the right person to dispose of him. It is true that the blood of the late Adeline is different.

I crouched my chin and continued to worry.

“Maybe the Baryan Master is a little dangerous. We haven't been able to pinpoint any of the men who were working with Cornell's trainers. ”

Simply put, if you have a plan to kidnap the Marquis family's infamy, then you're not behind the League or some dark group.

There is a strong possibility that other families will be involved. For example, a family that has a grudge against the Adelines.

Then the Knights may have bought it too.

The Alcaine Merchant Guild has struck like that, but when they see the punishment done at the practitioner's level, there must be someone behind them.

“I don't think it's a good idea to report this to Yanlov. Then……. ”

After a while I came to a conclusion, I got up from my seat with the documents in my arms.

* * *

The steps of those going to and from the banquet hall seemed busy. But on the other hand, I kept my strength. The general butlers were put into the banquet hall and were doing their part.

The sweets and white gloves they were wearing were a good match for the high-profile party. Therefore, apprentices are not assigned to the banquet hall. Because it's degraded.

So what they do is limited to the task of carrying heavy things like alcohol, or cleaning and organizing.

I found Lohan tidying up the barrels at the warehouse. He assumed he was demoted to the mission because he wasn't in the lodging.

“Aren't you working? ”

“I'm the password. ”

“This is discriminatory. I'm having a hard time gardening. ”

“How many apprentices do you think you can bring to the party? ”

Rohan, carrying a barrel of wine, shakes his hand, groaning.

“Get out of my way! If you're here for the salt. ”

“I need to ask you something. Is Miss Sapiella at the banquet hall? ”

“Of course. Maybe he's dancing with a glass of wine by now? He's not the only one here. He seems to have come with him. ”

“Son?”

It can be enough. Sapiella was the age of marriage. Moreover, since Earl Astria told Lohan that she is the reliable friend of the late Adeline, it is likely that she will marry and strengthen her relationship further.

“Is there any way to get into the ballroom? ”

“Why?”

“I need to see the lady. ”

“Are you going to dance? ”

Normally, he would have laughed, but that's not the case now. I put down the barrel that Rohan was carrying when he read the serious expression.

“What's the matter? ”

“Looks like Instructor Cornell was planning something bigger. ”

I whispered that to Lohan so no one could hear me. Phew. Lohan opens his eyes wide.

“What?”

“I'll tell you later. Right now, we need to tell this to the lady quickly. ”

Because we don't have much time.

According to Sapiella's infamous kidnapping plan, the assault will take place in the next week. There was a time when Sapiella was going out to participate in the village festival, and she was pointing to it as the time of the murder.

So if you simply do not let her go out, the story is easily solved.

Of course, there will be other plans after that, but if they find out about the kidnapping, they won't be able to move on easily.

“It won't be easy to get into the ballroom in that outfit. ”

“As expected, costumes are a problem. ”

“I can't help but notice it. First, take this barrel to the kitchen. It's connected to the banquet hall, so there might be a way. ”

“Thank you.”

I carried the barrel and left the warehouse.

Weight was not a problem. Simply raise Mana to strengthen her shoulders.

I'm doing everything with Mana's help these days, so my efficiency has improved considerably. Thanks to you, the apprentices and deacons are getting better today.

But it doesn't matter, so let's move the booze quickly.

The kitchen was connected behind the banquet hall. As I went inside, I saw a familiar face. It was Ramsey, Rosetta's executive chef.

“You fool! The eggs are so undercooked, the chicks are waking up! Do it again!"

You're still bitter.

I put the barrel down where the barrel stood. Then I looked around. You see a passageway leading into the main hall, and the butler and the maids are coming in and out.

The maids keep the apprentice butlers out as they go in. The world isn't fair.

But I can't help it. If you belong to the Adeline family, you must respect their manners, as if you were in Rome.

“Huh? You. ”

It's worth the wait. Chef Ramsey recognized me and spoke to me.

“You seem very busy. Chef, I've been waiting to say hello. ”

“Hahaha. Did you bring the barrels from the warehouse? ”

“Yes, but I think we should bring some more. ”

The barrel was very empty. It was also proof that the banquet hall was as ripe as it was.

As I listened, the delightful music of string quartet was playing. I remembered the scene. People will be wandering around with wine glasses, and other groups will be dancing in pairs.

You're such good people.

Now is not the time to get sentimental. I decided to take advantage of the unexpected opportunities.

“But chef, Do you think you could help me? ”

“Is something wrong? I'm worried about your face. ”

“Something awkward happened while I was on the mission. ”

Chef Ramsey knows that I am investigating the Alcaine Merchant Guild. And Cornell's trainer was kicked out of town for some time. Of course, I couldn't help thinking about it.

“You've done me a great favor. I should help you. If there's anything I can do. ”

“Thank you, Chef. Could you... get me some Butler's Clothes? It fits me perfectly. ”

I spoke the matter in a small voice that I could stop listening to. Chef Ramsey was surprised, of course.

“A butler's uniform, are you referring to a savory outfit? ”

“Yes, I'd like to get gloves if possible. ”

“What are you going to use it for? ”

“I think I need to step into the ballroom for a moment. It's a little dangerous, but it's urgent. ”

“Mmmm... ”

Chef Ramsey is troubled. He looks carefully at the passageway leading to the banquet hall.

“I can save them, but what if they find out? ”

“Don't worry about it. We're going to be as discreet as possible, and we have a good reason to be. I won't tell you the chef's name even if I get caught. ”

“Very well. I'll get it for you right away. ”

Chef Ramsey steps out of the kitchen with a ton of orders placed. After a while, I came back into the kitchen with a big box.

He opened the box slightly to show me.

“Butler's uniform, tie and glove set. I know you borrowed extra money from Stuart. ”

“Oh, thank you so much. ”

“Good luck. ”

I ducked down and looked for an empty room nearby. There was just the right place, so I was able to change quickly.

The last time I stood in front of the mirror.

“Oh, that fits better than I thought. Chamberlain's outfit isn't bad either. ”

I posed appropriately.

Dylan's body used to wither and he didn't have much muscle. However, after learning the Mana technique, the muscles and skeletons began to change at a rapid rate.

Now the people who see me every day are feeling better, but those who see me in a long time have changed big enough to open their mouths.

It turned out well in a word. Then I also got a good pair of clothes and feet.

If you could see me like this, you wouldn't doubt me very much. There are a lot of butlers in the mansion, and there are also deacons brought by the Earl of Astria, so you can bury them properly.

In fact, if Earl Astria hadn't come, he wouldn't have thought to do this. With so many outsiders, we have a chance to deceive them.

I checked my outfit thoroughly and left the room.

Sapiella's infamy is successfully abducted to achieve our first goal.
