Marquis' Express Butler

“It's been a long time. You grew up beautiful, Sapiella. I've heard rumors that you're the King's Maze. ”

The Duke sitting on the throne commended.

The food was already prepared. Along the side, a luscious string quartet was flowing, and many maids and butlers were watching.

It is a banquet rather than a banquet because of accompaniment.

Not many people attended. Duke Midas and his wife, Rosaria, and their children attended. In the Adeline family, only I and I occupied the throne.

Young-ae did not touch the food easily, but was praised by the duc.

“Did you mean it? Suddenly, I came to the Royal Road, so I couldn't afford to say hello. ”

“It's okay. You're an adult now, and you're busy. ”

“My father asked me to ask you how you are. He said he would come to the royal road soon. ”

“That's good to hear. There's one thing I need to tie up with your father. If it's been a long time, I can see the battle. ”

“You're still enjoying chess. ”

“Of course. It's a time when there's no war, so at least you should be a surrogate." ”

In my youth, I felt like I was on the battlefield wielding my sword. Well, he's that big, but I think I can just throw a person in.

The peacock and spiritual conversation flowed naturally.

“Then why are you suddenly going to the Academy? I heard from your father that you're not interested in the Academy. ”

“It's fun to study these days, and I also want to see the king. There's no particular reason... ”

“Well, you've been in Adeline territory too long. The Royal Society is different, so please stay a long time this time. Make a good connection. ”

“I'll keep that in mind. I'm here to say hello on your behalf today, so why don't you play some chess? I don't have enough skills, but I want to be taught. ”

“Haha! That's good. ”

Maybe it's the feeling of a grandfather playing GO with his granddaughter. The Duke was genuinely pleased.

Once, I think I heard that I saw it as a child, but I knew the duc as if I had met him a few days ago. The infancy must have been thoroughly premeditated.

Well, you have to pay your respects to the best families in the kingdom.

“But……. ”

Then the Duke's gaze was upon me.

Even if you are invited as a guest, the difference between you and me is literally the difference between heaven and earth. So I lowered my head slightly.

“By the way, you have a very good tutor. I think I owe your family a great debt this time. ”

I like the way things are going.

Carry on, Duke.

“Dylan is a capable butler. I've been in bad shape before... and Dylan saved me himself. It's kind of like being a lifesaver. ”

“I heard about that. I'm glad you're not hurt. What kind of people would kidnap you? ”

“I don't know... ”

The Duke clears his throat as Sapiella's affection grows worse.

“Everything will be fine in the royal province. If there's anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate to tell me. I'll help you as much as I can. ”

“Thank you, Mr. President. ”

“Come on, before the food gets cold. ”

And so began the meal.

It appeared to be an ordinary noble family. Compared to the name Bahamut, it seemed so ordinary.

But before I came here, I saw the status window of a man named Mannheim, and I thought there must be some dissonance.

The fact that someone's after the duchess is no different from the fact that there's a succession battle going on here. Or it could be some kind of political struggle.

“Was there another family that greeted you first? ”

“No, I came to greet you first. He is the eldest man in the kingdom, so I should meet him first and say hello. ”

“I appreciate that, but since you're here, let the king know. If you represent your family, that's all you have to do. ”

“Thank you for teaching me. ”

Sapiella cuts the meat with a knife and puts it in her mouth. When I watch her eat, sometimes I wonder if it's a machine. The use of dishes is too perfect.

After the dinner, the duc and the girl enjoyed tea time. The Duke led the conversation, but he was focusing on advice like this for the future of admission to the Academy.

Meanwhile, the Duchess of Rosaria gets up first.

“I'm not feeling well because I'm a little surprised today. I'm gonna go upstairs and get some rest. I'm sorry."

“Health comes first. Go upstairs and get some rest. ”

“I'll say hello again next time. Madam.”

With all due respect, the Duchess of Rosaria leaves. I followed her with an excuse to go to the bathroom for a while.

“Excuse me, ma'am. ”

She calls, her complexion pale, and she turns away. She tilts her head with a kind smile, like the mother of all.

“What can I do for you? ”

“If you don't mind me asking. ”

“Is this important? ”

I pretended to look around for a while. She notices and bites the maid.

I approached her a little closer and quietly said.

“Did someone try to hurt your wife recently? ”

The duchess' eyes widen for a moment, perhaps unexpectedly. However, at an astonishing rate, the expression quickly returned to its original state.

“I don't know what you're talking about. This is the Mansion of the Bahamuth Family. You can't just do that. ”

“What happened this afternoon is most likely an accident, not an accident. If you're a smart wife, you know the difference between an accident and an incident. ”

I spoke plainly, and the duchess' eyes sank quietly. She seemed thoughtful.

* * *

In the end, Madame Rosaria said nothing to me. It was anticipated.Even a savior can't talk about the family's complications.

Saying that is the same as carving out the dignity of your family.

But I deeply imprinted on her brain one possibility that I inferred from the manipulative state window. This could be an accident, not an accident.

If you are really smart, you will cope, or you will suffer.

I decided not to care anymore because I was too nosy to interfere. But I think we should deal with those who pose a potential threat to me first.

Young-ae enters the duc's office. Since you said you play chess, you'll have to wait at least an hour.

“Dear Dylan! ”

I was about to leave the mansion for a while, but Maneheim, who said hello earlier, ran away smiling.

“Is the schedule over? I've been waiting.”

“We're not done yet. I'm in a position to take care of you. Now that you're in the Oval Office, we need more time. ”

“I see.”

“If you're a merchant, you'll be busy, but you can go back first. ”

Mannheim had a habit of rubbing his trademark hands. He rubs his hands together and speaks.

“If you don't mind, I'll send you a wagon around the end of your schedule, so why don't you come over?" I'd like to take you somewhere nice. Hahaha. ”

It's a good place.

Somehow the feel is not good. It's very dangerous to go in a stranger's wagon. Especially a wagon sent by someone who has a bad feeling about me.

But to catch a tiger, you have to go into a tiger's den.

I don't really care what they're up to. If you have a bad feeling about me, it will interfere with my work in the future, so you should prune it out in advance.

“Very well. Send me the wagon in about an hour, then. ”

“That's refreshing! I see. I do.”

The last thing Mannheim said was to leave the mansion.

He still doesn't feel good.

An hour later, Sapiella, who had finished all her appointments, left the mansion. The chess game seemed to be satisfying. This time, the duc personally escorts.

“You're pretty good. Come back next time. ”

“Pleasure, Mr. President. Thanks again for inviting us. ”

“No thanks. When you return, our knights will protect you. ”

I look back and see ten knights in blue armor lined up on horses. It seems to be the Blue Dragon Knights, the proud family of Bahamut.

Arthur's expression of looking at it is interesting. I was jealous, but I didn't want to lose.

And on the other hand, there was another wagon, a messenger from the Black Rock Merchant Guild, waiting for me.

“Lord Mannheim has ordered you to take care of Mr. Dylan. The wagon is ready.”

“Wait a moment. ”

I approached the wagon with the baby on it. Young-chil looked really tired.

“Lady, I'm sorry, but I think you should go in with Arthurs today. I need to investigate for a moment, so I should probably get back to work. ”

“Got it. Take care. ”

I closed the door and left the wagon. There is Arthurs, and he is escorted by the glorious Blue Dragon Knights, so you don't have to worry at all.

Soon the wagon was out of sight. I greeted the duc and his brushes and climbed onto a small wagon prepared by the Black Rock Merchants Guild.

The door closes firmly and the wagon begins to move slowly.

* * *

A long time later, the wagon stops.

I've been pulling Mana up and scanning the perimeter ever since. The wagon is entering a narrow alley, and the area is getting quieter.

The place where the wagon stood was completely unpopular.

I felt bad even when I looked around. There were also ruined houses, whether there was a lot of renewal going on here.

“I've made arrangements. ”

In a house where no one lives, strangers wait to hide. I've mastered thermal sensing skills, so I can see where they're hiding and how.

And I also learned that they cared about their weapons well.

Heave-ho!

You jump down from the wagon with the loaded horse gun in your hand.

Only the silent silence greeted me.

“I don't know what the fuck you're doing, but come out when you say something nice. I'm not very patient. ”

No one responded to me. I looked at the information unfolding in my eyes like augmented reality and held a handgun.

Cock.

Turned on the penetration function and set the Mana amount to 'River’. There's nothing we can do to catch those who hide behind the wall. My life could be in danger.

Six to be exact.

He would have sent a master knowing that I was coming. Maybe they specialize in assassination.

So, what?

Fighting is a champion.

Bang, bang, bang!

“Huff!”

“Ugh!”

“Huff!"

I started a fight without mercy.
