Marquis' Express Butler

“You... you lurked around the Academy and read some novel? ”

It was the first reaction seen by Confucius Hamel when he told all the stories he had heard from the mystery merchant. He stared at me like he was going to eat me right now.

Eluna, on the other hand, was calm. She's the perfect third party. You'll be able to understand the situation more calmly than I am.

I added an explanation.

“This is not a novel, it's a fact. The Council of Mysteries, as you may have heard, is a very famous informant, and Duke Midas has introduced himself in particular. 500 years ago, House Delfino was rightfully taken from the Adeline family and banished. ”

“ ……. ”

It still looks unacceptable. I was forced to wedge.

“The Duke said this before introducing the Council of Mysteries. I want to do business. I don't want to fight power. What does that mean? ”

“It's a bypass that you know this.”

There is no response from the Confederate. What was he thinking? First, I continued to explain.

“Some of the other nobles may know the truth. Probably already surrounded by the Delfino Merchants Guild. If they'd moved for 500 years of revenge, they would have been prepared. ”

It's because the Adeline family is not a worthy opponent of the Delfino Merchant Guild.

The Marquis of the Realm. Preparation is needed to confront those with rich economies and powerful armies.

However, the blade of revenge has been slowly grinding since 500 years ago. It is now clear that anything is sharp enough to be cut down.

Fortunately, there are no bombers or nuclear missiles in this age. If there were such weapons, he would have been anxious about when and where the attack would have taken place.

“Unacceptable! ”

Confucius Hamel woke up. I thought you understood, but I think you're upset.

“Which son of a bitch did that? Mystery dealer? Huh! Screw you! How dare you try to harm our family name! ”

I felt pain in my neck. Confucius Hamel grabbed my collar. You're lucky I didn't take out your sword and cut it off.

But I didn't just grab him by the throat.

There was a spark in both eyes as the vein of his forehead rose to see if he was really angry. The muscles in my forearms also bulged.

“Duke! Calm down! ”

Eluna tries to stop her, but I reach out and let her go. If you're angry, you'd better let it go. Instead, I put a little Mana around my neck.

You can't be mad at me, but I can't be sick.

“Don't turn your back on the truth. ”

“Shut up! You bastard. You crawled all the way up to the end! My family did such a nasty thing? How are you going to prove what happened 500 years ago? A rumor floating in the dark? ”

“I couldn't believe it at first. But if you look carefully at what we've been through, it turns out that it's close to the truth. Even the perverts who ate the family, the girl almost got kidnapped, and the fate of the people near the border. And all the other unexplainable mysteries. ”

“Shut up!”

The pressure is getting worse, and at the same time the appetite for the status window drops sharply, but I remain still. You'll have room to listen to me when I shake like this.

I breathed calmly and said. It's not easy being thirsty.

“Confucius, why are you looking at your fingers? Look where I'm pointing. It's not a trap, it's not a crisis. ”

“Then what is it? ”

“This is your chance, your best chance of never coming back! ”

The sharp words lightly loosened the hand holding the collar. I can escape with my own strength if I want to. But I was caught on purpose.

“I didn't tell you to atone for what happened 500 years ago and turn it all around. So there's nothing to be excited about. ”

“What? What the hell...? Then what am I supposed to do?" ”

“What you don't know is that you don't know about the other princes or the absentees. Maybe it's a story that's only passed down to Gaju for generations to come. Maybe the Lord doesn't know, or maybe he's buried somewhere quietly with only a brief record. ”

“Just get to the point. ”

I smiled. And I wrapped around the hands of the princess who grabbed my collar.

“If you take care of this well, you're entitled to the Confucius. To write a new history of the Adeline family. in front of all of you. With these two hands. ”

“A new history…… with my hands…? ”

It seemed to have worked.

I felt relieved of the strength that was in my neck. Confucius Hamel broke his hand. I coughed, and thankfully, Eluna took out a handkerchief and wiped my mouth.

If you hadn't wrapped Mana around your neck, you might have suffocated. Confucius Hamel was that angry.

I was the one who chose to breathe.

“Again, whether I'm telling the truth or not, it doesn't matter. What would you have done 500 years ago? Does it mean anything unless you turn back the clock? Make it the cornerstone of a legitimate succession by interpreting it in your favour. ”

As he stared at the ceiling, he suddenly started laughing madly.

“Hahaha, hahahaha! Hahahahahaha!”

The frenzied smile continued for a long time. But I was observing all his information, and I was sure it was the roar of an opportunistic genius, not a frenzy.

Once again, the hand of the Confucian touched my body. This time I didn't grab my collar, I shrugged my shoulders.

“The 500-year-old novel you wrote was very interesting. Thanks to you, I came up with a good plan. First... I have to find out if the novel is based on a true story. ”

“You can do that, but it's better to assume it's true. It's a waste of time."

“What if it's a lie? ”

“It doesn't matter if it's a lie. because it doesn't change the fact that you have to face the Astrians, the Delfino family, ”

The eyes of me and Confucius Hamel sparkled at the same time. It seems to be meaningful. If we do our best, we can get what we want from each other.

“Please do whatever it takes to stop this war. If you just reopen the trade routes, I'll take care of the rest. ”

“You said that before. The Delfino Merchant Guild might have some nobles surrounded. If so, the lobby becomes difficult. ”

“You have more naive corners than I thought. ”

In one of my provocative words, Prince Hamel's glances distorted. Eluna, who was next to me, was surprisingly off the record.

But it will remain clear to the prince's mind, so I whispered as I approached one step closer.

“Are they interested in the unfortunate things that happened 500 years ago? You're welcome. It's time to change mountains dozens of times. They're only following the interests right now, and they're not going to be interested in the cause or the honor. ”

“That's right."

“You are underestimating us, Mr. Mathis. I want you to confirm the full potential we have. ”

Hamer nods, alternating between me and Eluna. I strongly proposed with my arms spread out.

“Now, let's teach the old folks in the back who owns the new age! We look forward to hearing from you. ”

His expression went back to normal. I think I've finally got my relax back.

“Dylan, I hate to admit it, but you're a very capable butler. ”

I smiled at the unexpected compliment. But Hamel had the same smile in his mouth.

“I don't think I'll ever forget today. You feel like you're halfway there already? Why don't you say a wish in advance? I think I can grant you enough of your wishes if I become a heiress. ”

At that moment, it can't be a coincidence that Sapiella's baby's face came to mind. But I blinked and erased her appearance at the same time. Not now. It's a time of choice and focus.

“I have a wish. I'm just doing what I have to do for my family. ”

“I don't recommend it again. Then stay loyal as a slave. ”

“I'll do as I'm told. ”

“…… Ella looks happier than I thought. Good to hear from you. I found it useful sometimes to listen to others. ”

I bowed my head, smiling silently. That concludes it. Confucius Hamel leaves the room without a word.

“I wanted to ask you a question. ”

Missed the timing.

I wondered what would happen to the Delfino family if Congressman Hamel had accomplished everything. Kill them or untie them.

His values are 'very good’. That's why he chose him out of the three.

Maybe Hamel will unravel 500 years old in a way I never thought he would.

“What are you asking? ”

“No, it's nothing. I'm just talking to myself.”

Now it's just Elona out of the room.

My legs twitch as I relax. I just sat on the couch.

“Ha. Even a butler can't do this job. It's hard.”

“You're doing great. I didn't expect the Master to be so articulate. It feels like I've seen a play. ”

“I'm going to need some money for that play. You saw it in the nicest spot. ”

Eluna gave me a cup of tea instead of money. I gladly held up a cup of tea and drenched my neck. The effect of the leaf difference appeared quickly. I calmed down.

“By the way, do you think the Confucius will do well? ”

“I have to believe you now. I can't just waltz in there, can I? ”

“But rather than stay still.... ”

“I'll help you. I think I can line up on the royal side if you don't mind. I'm not just playing here, either. ”

“I shouldn't have said that. ”

After putting down the cup, I lay my head on Eluna's lap.

“Oh, my.”

I turned off my nerves and closed my eyes. Eluna's affection will be forgiving enough. Again, a small, soft hand began to sweep through the hair and cheeks.

At that moment, Eluna's appeal rose from 97 to 99.

Now there is only 1 point left in the circle of fate.

If the relationship is good, there are still many people left to make. So is Lohan, so is Arthurs, so is Calmond and Spinel.

Suddenly I wondered what they were doing now.

If I had a cell phone, I'd give it a shot. Oh, do I have to invent a phone first? Let's put this on the list, too.
