Marquis' Express Butler

“How long do you think it'll take? ”

“Don't worry. I'll have the mansion swept up in an hour. ”

“I thought it would take half a day. ”

“If it's this much fun, it's a different story. It won't take more than 30 minutes to get into the ears of the Baryan Knights Captain! ”

I nod with a satisfactory look on my face. If word gets out, Lord Laurentz will have to fight me. The knights value honor as much as life.

An apprentice butler is showing up and if you ignore it, the face of the knight will fall to the ground.

Even if you don't go to Commander Baryan, his colleagues will urge you to teach him a lesson. Then Lord Laurentz has only one choice.

Rohan worries about putting the Doubloons in his arms.

“But are you confident? No matter how good you are, they're knights. If I knew the Guardian Knight, I would use the error as a class. I don't know how Arthur won before... ”

“Don't worry, we'll win. ”

“Ha, yes. You're the man, eat up! ”

“Hahaha.”

Because I'm not a user, I'm a Mana user. The quality of the power itself is different in the beginning. Org is a temporary power that has not been able to handle Mana.

I know how to handle Mana, and the Mana circuits are extended around my heart, not even a short circuit.

So if I really pull this off and fight, Lord Laurentz can take it lightly. Arthur said he would help me with my training every day, so the power of the sword I wield must be quite different from before.

This is why I don't worry about losing, even if I'm worried about the duel.

* * *

Yuck!

The heavy door opens. Earl Kronos, who was sitting in the Oval Office, turns his gaze toward the entrance with his magnificent eyes.

He used to be the third son who didn't get sick in the eyes, but now he's always causing trouble and he doesn't want to look at him.

You have a small smile on the mouth of the late Chronos.

“Welcome. Hamel.”

“Rest in peace.”

“Yes. The weather and my mind are very calm. You've helped me a lot. I need to increase my territory's budget a bit, but I did a good job. ”

“I'm glad my father is pleased. ”

There was a reason that Earl Kronos could deal with Prince Hamel with a smile.

Recently, the additional 3,500 gold collected was handed over to the Grand Duke of Kronos as it is, and he couldn't help but pay for his hard work. 3,500 gold was a lot of money.

“So, what brings you here today? ”

“Could you pass on the person for a moment? ”

The baron bites everyone around him with a single gesture. Seeing that, Confucius Hamel's desire for where his father is now increased.

There were only two rich people left. It was Confucius Hamel who opened his mouth first.

“It's about Ella. ”

“About Ella? I didn't know you cared so little about other brothers to talk about Ella. ”

“At least Ella and I are best friends. ”

Where his temper does not go, Confucius Hamel does not have to insist on planting the Marquis. But he was still confident.

“I'll tell you what I need to know. Send Ella back to the crown. I would like to enroll in a special course at the Royal Academy to study for several months. ”

“I'm surprised.”

“What? ”

“I thought you wanted a fair reward for collecting additional taxes. Anyway, since you made this money, I didn't expect to hear about the Academy even if I wanted to take it off. ”

“Hahaha! Father. I'm not a snob. I always work for my father and my family. ”

“It's no snob, but it doesn't make you a saint, does it? ”

The unseen blade continues to feel tense as if it's moving relentlessly. The loveless father and the son who was obsessed with power lust continued the workshop.

“Anyway, I didn't get it by subjugating the monsters, and the money was my father's. I have nothing to take. ”

“What if?”

“I don't like the attitude of Earl Astria. I heard there's no talk of a soul story. If you have given to the banquet, it is right to move on to the next level of the party, but there is a problem if you don't even send a letter. It's not just for Ella, it's an insult to our family, it's a challenge. ”

“Hmm.”

With a sharp tone, Confucius Hamel concluded without regret. The monarch does not protest, but goes into the closet, moaning.

The Marquis's mouth opens shortly.

“Sounds like a good way to go. I'm sure we can get all the rationale and celia we need. It may seem good for you to take care of your brother like this, but sometimes you have to pay attention to your brothers. ”

“I understand, Father. ”

“Then we must prepare Lord Weiss. ”

To Weiss?

I was surprised when I was listening to this conversation by concentrating Mana on my hearing. Why is it so much and so many people are named Weiss?

I got my ears closer to the wall. You can hear even the sound of breath, but strangely, you hear nothing in the Marquis's Oval Office.

“Why are you still? I recommend Janlov. Janlov!”

This muttering may not sound like much to you in the next room, but I sincerely pray that Confucius Hamel does.

A moment later, you hear the voice of Confucius Hamel.

“Don't get me wrong, please listen. No offense to your father, but I think Lord Janlov would be more appropriate. ”

Did the telepathy work?

Good job! Push harder!

“Why?”

“First of all, the Adeline people are going to study on the royal road. It is fitting that the highest man in the deacons prepare. ”

It was a reasonable thing to say. The Marquis preceded Lord Weiss only because he was comfortable serving him as an aquarium. If you come up with a theory, you'll be forced to push.

But in the territory, the lord reigns over the law. Depending on his mood, the law can change at any time.

“But Lord Weiss also has a keen sense of life and academy. Leave it to him, it won't be bad. ”

“You're right, but Ella will be uncomfortable if she does. ”

“Any reason to be uncomfortable? ”

“The people who hope to accompany Ella are a bit unique. If Lord Weiss is prepared for this, he will not be able to arrange for Ella to accompany him as he wishes. He's a fucking philosopher. ”

“There is no such thing. But principalism is the basis of all order. But I'm curious. Tell me who your unique companion is. ”

“Ella has named apprentice butler Dylan as the executive secretary of this journey. And he named him as his deputy apprentice. ”

“Excuse me?”

The Marquis's voice is more absurd than anger. Well, it doesn't make sense for me to leave my youngest daughter who doesn't get sick even if I put her in the barn's shoes.

But right now, we have to make sense of that nonsense.

“I'm sure you've heard of them. This is Dylan, who saved Ella's life, and Arthurs, who fought with him in a stunning battle. ”

“If they are……. ”

“Apprentice, but not always. In fact, apprentice Dillene is talented and smart. She's also an assistant home teacher for Ella, and she's resourceful and resourceful. And he's got his apprentice knight on the stage, so you need to use it in advance. ”

“Hahahaha!”

The baron bursts into laughter. What does it mean? It looks like it's going to be a gumball on the wall, but I've got my ears tighter against the wall.

“I think it's the first time you've ever valued someone that highly. ”

“I'm just telling you the truth. ”

I couldn't see it, but it seemed to be rotting on Confucius Hamel's face. It's a video.

“I didn't want to say this, but these are the two apprentices who were active in the tax investigation. There's nothing to be ashamed of as a reward. ”

“Oh, there it is. They will fight for our family from now on. Especially since I remember the name Dylan. So, what's the reward? ”

“They both refused. It's a natural thing to do for your family. Isn't that great?”

From then on, Confucius Hamel explained in detail why he should entrust the mission to both of us.

There was no great reason. It was just that the security of the royal family is strong and the Adeline soldiers are also stationed in their villas, so there is no big problem.

“Most of all, I don't trust Laurentz, who is Ella's guardian knight. Even if Lord Weiss is in command of this arrangement, I hope the Guardian Knight will change. ”

“Why?”

“Because I'm incompetent and arrogant. Knights are meant to serve their owners faithfully and hone their skills, but they don't. ”

I was a little surprised. You still call him a man with a knighthood. That too, in front of the party who took his place.

As expected, I thought I was an egg.

“How rude. He is the Adeline and my loyal sword. What do you mean him? You have a clear problem with what you're saying. ”

“That's too much to say. Forgive me.”

“We must not forget that he also passed our family exam and was knighted. I mean, you need to respect your skills. ”

“Unwiped skills tend to degrade. ”

This bastard is now trying to fight his father. Can't you be a little more gentle?

“What did that mean? ”

“Something interesting will happen in a few days. I heard Dylan challenged Lord Laurentz to a duel. ”

“I can't... believe it. ”

“It's true. How could I lie to you? ”

Once more, the Marquis's smile bursts. The Apprentice Chamberlain challenged the Guardian Knight and not the Apprentice Knight. It was not usual news.

Obviously, the power of rumors is scary.

When I said let's fight lightly, it was a duel after circling the mansion. Duels and duels are heavenly.

The power of the two golds I gave to Lohan was enough. Anyone who doesn't know my face doesn't know that a butler apprentice named Dylan challenged the Guardian Knight to a duel.

“So, Sir Laurentz accepted the duel? ”

“Fun rumor spread. Lord Laurentz is afraid to avoid apprentice Dylan. Perhaps Lord Laurentz should come out on stage. If you keep asking rumors like this, you'll become a coward. We're going to be stuck soon. ”

The silence has gone on for a moment. The Marquis seems to be lost in thought. Fortunately, the temperamental Confucius Hamel did not rush.

“I'll leave the arrangements for the royal road to Lord Janroff. But I cannot allow you to appoint Dylan as Sapiella's executive secretary. An apprentice butler becoming an apprentice secretary. This can't be happening. ”

“If that's your will, Father. ”

“Instead, if Dylan wins the race against Lord Laurentz, we may have time to reconsider. There's no reason for exceptions. ”

“Good for you.”

I stopped eavesdropping on that conversation the last time. And as if nothing had happened, you come quietly out of the Earl's office next door.

It's time to prepare for the duel.

Preparation doesn't mean much. There's no difference in power enough to defeat an opponent with a strategy.

With a little arrogance allowed, I was already ahead of Laurentz's alarm.

I have been training steadily since I first opened my eyes here, and have become quite free from the physical and operational functions of Mana.

In other words, as time goes on, it becomes stronger.

So you don't have to use drugs on your food or use your head to set a trap or anything like that, just press it neatly and skillfully.

And I plan to announce that I am coming at this opportunity. It would be dangerous to face Lord Laurentz without it.

Rather than simply consciously going on a safe path as Lord Laurentz, I'm granting him a satellite to stay by his side.

All you have to do is tell them that I am Mana User. There are quite a lot of people who use error, so you can get over it.

“I'm done for the day. Shall we start practicing? I wonder if Arthur made it out. ”

Arthur has agreed to teach me swordsmanship from this day forward.

Late at night, I left the mansion with my sword. It was always quiet at this time of the year, but it was popular in the training ground for apprentices.

Shhh!

As expected, Arthurs is seriously wielding his wooden sword.

His sword felt heavier than it felt light. Even though I was ignorant of swordsmanship, I felt like I had mastered it.

I step inside and place my sword on one side. Then I grabbed a wooden sword from the shelf, and I heard Arthur's voice behind me.

“What kind of rumors are you running? You turned the Knights upside down. It's not a mess.”

Arthurs grumbles, still under the sword.

I think I know what the rumors are. I overheard the Earl and Prince Hamel talking.

I shrug my shoulders once, as if I didn't know better, and stand opposite him and take a sword.

“I didn't say anything. The butler has to have a heavy mouth. ”

“I didn't know duckball had it in him. Isn't that the rumor you gave me? You asked Lord Laurentz for a duel. There were a lot of stories about cowardly knights, so I was completely cornered. ”

“It's not me, okay? And even if it is, it's none of my business. You should have let yourself behave proudly so that there wouldn't be any backstory. ”

It's true. It wasn't me who spread the rumors, it was my friend Lohan. It wouldn't have spread this fast if it hadn't used his network.

However, the expression on Arthur's face that looks at me is the expression that he will never believe.
