Marquis' Express Butler

I've heard that there are often in-laws here. So I don't know if the color will be a blemish, but I think I need to take a look at the territorial law first.

I pushed the status window to one side and focused on the Confucius.

“But what brings you here? Your deputy seems to be very busy. ”

This is not a fairy tale question because I'm busy. I'm guessing you didn't come in person when you made the offer.

It was because the professors ate a lot of food in grad school.

I immediately bowed my head with a hollow look on my face.

“I'm sorry I haven't been around sooner. Apparently, there was a lot of work at the beginning of the Chamber of Commerce. Next time... ”

“Ah. You don't have to do this. I'm not saying anything, I'm just saying something out of regret. I didn't think I'd see you here. I heard you got something for me. ”

“Yes, it's a precious object, so I passed through here. ”

“I'm looking forward to it. I wonder how much it'll cost. ”

His eyes flourished with desire.

The Kain Confederacy seemed to know that a high-end four-year-old pillar was coming out as a property. Probably came here to get it.

The state-of-the-art fountain pen has become a symbol of its functionality and usefulness. An elegant handwriting device that only the Marquis has in this kingdom.

In other words, if the same can be obtained, it can be used as a symbol that qualifies the Adeline family.

By the end of the calculation, I was then reminded of a possibility.

If that's true, another accomplice will appear in this auction house.

And it came true.

At the entrance of the Auction House, a few escorts emerged, revealing the second member of the Adeline family, Confucius Prague. He looks around and smiles softly.

Don't be fooled. because Confucius Hamel, the acting genius, said it was a mask.

“No, not you? Hahahaha. I didn't expect to see you at the auction house. I feel great, but who is this? You must be a great person to talk to, right? ”

“Here you are, Prague. Greetings, Master Soo-hyun of Mathis Congress. ”

“The Mathis Awards? ”

His eyes curl like a bow. I heard it's nice and impressive, but it's actually quite impressive. If this is an act, then Confucius Hamel will have to give up his position as acting genius.

“My father told me a lot. He gave me something good this time. ”

“It is an honor for our family and company just to receive from the Viceroy. ”

“Humble as well. It's been a long time since I've seen someone cool. Hahaha.”

Prah holds my hand and shrugs my shoulders. I think I'm 20 years old now, but what I was doing was similar to that of a fifty-year-old politician. I think I understand why Confucius Hamel advised me to act. I felt a slight distortion in my expression and behavior.

If I hadn't handled Mana, I wouldn't have noticed this subtle change.

Anyway, that's not the point right now.

Today was a state of abundance. I was able to accidentally open the status window of both of you in close proximity to the next wave.

○ Prague de Adeline

Rank:

Level: 24

Characteristics: Smoke S, Speech A, Emotional Control A, Magnificence B, Social Dance C, Alcohol C, Philosophy C, Magic D, Necromancy D,???

Interest: the existence of the afterlife, the fundamental exploration of the existence of necromancery and demons, and the urge to kill.

[not open]

……

“Hmm? What's the matter? ”

When I saw my interest, I was so shocked that I opened my mouth and became numb. Prah, of course, looked at me with a questionable look.

“Master.”

I regained my senses with Eluna's worrying voice.

“No, it's not. I'm dizzy for a while. I've been going through a lot lately, and my health is not so good. We appreciate your patience."

“I see. That's a shame. Should I call a doctor?”

“I'm fine. I just need to sit down and rest. I showed my ugliness with precious people. I'll officially say hello next time. ”

“What are you saying? People first. You look like shit.”

Shut up.

I see it's all smoke now. S-rank, my ass! There's so much nonsense in his status window that I'm a little confused as to what doesn't make sense.

But I didn't show my face, smiled nicely and complimented him.

“You're as warm as I've heard! Now I know why the colonists admire you. I'm impressed.”

“Why are you so ashamed? My brother is more respected than I am. who will rule Adeline territory in the future. ”

“Let's stop playing this game. A lot of people see it, but it's a shame. ”

“Oh, I'm sorry. Brother.”

“Our actions must not lighten the honor of our family. ”

There was an awkward stream of air between the two Confederates.

The point here is that Confucius Prague appointed Confucius Kaien as his successor. He doesn't seem to covet anything.

Rather, it would have looked fake to Kaien. It'll feel like he's doing all kinds of ducks behind his back.

But looking at the status window, I could see that Confucius Prague was not really interested in the position of heir.

If he was interested, he should have said, "To defeat the competition and join the family."

It's awkward, but I need some time to think on my own. I stepped out.

“I'm about to leave for the royal highway, so I'll see you two as soon as I'm done. Let me formally say hello to you then. ”

“Of course. I look forward to that. Excuse me, then. ”

Prah leaves after greeting the Royal Family with a respectful greeting. Duke Kaien, who looked behind him with decent eyes, also opened his seat.

I looked at the two allies for a moment.

Confucius Kaien was sitting a little behind, with his arms folded, looking at Prague, and Prague was still greeting all sorts of people with a kind face.

Kaien's face is getting distorted.

But thanks to that, the three of us were able to share the reviews comfortably.

“What a surprise. I didn't know the officials were going to participate in the auction. ”

“You didn't have any information? ”

That's what Eluna said, and she shakes her head.

“I got the attendance list in advance and checked it out, but I haven't been able to participate in the auction recently. In the beginning, it was supposed to be that he didn't participate in the auction very well. ”

“Don't play with money. ”

“It's not like that, but isn't it because most things are easy to get? ”

I nodded. It was a reasonable thing to say. I take out the generalisation once I have a look in the status window. I need to awaken the political senses of two people.

“But they had to come out. There's a succession at stake here. ”

“What's that supposed to mean? ”

“A high-end fountain pen. You only have that for the late President. What if we could get hold of the same thing? You'll benefit from that majesty. ”

“…… I see. I didn't think so either. ”

“I think I'm going to win less than I thought. If this happens.”

Who can compete in the bidding of a Confederate? Even if it's not a problem right now, it could be secured later.

I kicked my tongue.

If it was hard, it was likely to win at a price slightly above the starting price.

Because the interest of Prince Prague, the surface competitor, was elsewhere. He won't touch the fountain pen. I wasn't interested in succession.

On the other hand, the Kaian Confucius thought that the Prague Confucius would bid on it and brought in a lot of money.

But if you don't bid, then Prince Kaien will be in trouble. Because I can't figure out what he's up to coming to this auction house.

If it's any consolation, it's better to bid.

Eluna bows her head, noticing if the thought seemed too complicated.

“Master, I'm sorry. I must have picked the wrong auction house. It would have been better if I had contacted him personally and called him expensive……. ”

“What are you trying to pick up when it's already spilled water? And money isn't everything. It's okay. We got good intel. That alone is worth the auction. ”

I laughed and dardocked Eluna. But her sorry expression didn't go away easily.

“It's going to be a really, really fun auction. ”

It doesn't matter how much the fountain pen sells now.

What did Prince Prague come to buy?

What was most surprising in Prague's status window was that its magical and necromancing properties were open. It's a D rank, but the existence itself is great.

Because since the sunset of Mana, ordinary people have been unable to feel magic, and very few people have been able to handle magic.

In other words, the second one is Mana user.

But no one told me that the second one could handle magic. That means he's hiding his powers like me.

Of course, the idea of hiding power seems a little different.

He had one special characteristic I've never seen before. Necromancy exists. Keywords that naturally come to mind when magic meets necromancy.

Dark magic.

He says he's building his power in the wrong direction.

Not only that.

He is also interested in the afterlife, and has been subjected to murderous impulses and is also researching demons. If people find out about this, there is a high likelihood that there will be a typhoon in the family.

First things first. What is the real object of the second Confederate who is obsessed with necromancy?

“Eluna.”

“Yes, Master. ”

“Do you have any catalogs? It's like a book that explains the stuff that's coming out of the auction today. ”

“There will be. I'll get it.”

Eluna leaves for a moment.

A moment later, she brings a chunky brochure. I twisted my legs and opened the book.

The book was well organized for Novelis' reputation. I helped understand the name and history of the object, as well as the actual appearance. It was not an auction house where only VIPs could enter. This book is worth a few gold coins.

I looked over the page and saw something interesting.

At the same time, I had a smile on my mouth.

“This is what you came for. ”

I covered the book and looked at Prague Confucius, who was still talking to the nobles. He smiles in a creepy smile.
