Marquis' Express Butler

“I didn't expect to hear a story about Brother Prah at this point. ”

The Princess's speculation has returned. I couldn't find her anywhere.

“It looks like you're the only one holding back right now. I think the real Diver is the second Confucius. ”

“Well, it's been quiet lately. He's not even coming out of his room as an excuse. Have you heard anything? ”

“There are a few things. ”

I got up from my seat for a moment and headed to the dressing room on one side. The door to the wooden and glass decoration opens, and there is a display of liquor in a luxurious bottle.

I'm not much of a drinker, but I'm not flexible enough to subtract what I let go.

I hold one of the poisonous drinks on the shelf, and I take it out and shake it toward the crown.

“How about a drink? ”

“Sounds serious enough to be drunk. ”

It's quick to notice.

“This is serious. But that's a different problem, because you seem to be having a hard time. Wouldn't it be great if I borrowed the power of alcohol? I know it's not easy to rub your hands on your superiors. ”

“Hahaha. I like that you're honest. ”

I returned to my seat with two glasses. I opened the bottle skillfully, filled the princess's cup first, and filled my cup as well.

The Confucian offered me a toast first, and I bumped into him with a cup.

The princess breathes no breath and smashes all the liquor in the cup into her mouth.

“Khh!”

I can't believe you wanted that liquor. The princess must be in a lot of trouble.

I had a sip because I was a little drunk today. It's strong enough to tell you where your esophagus and stomach are.

“Don't forget to recite. I'm drunk enough.”

You need to know the urgency of a temper. I took another sip of wine and put it on the table.

“Do you remember the auction that was held in Novelis just before I arrived on the Royal Road? ”

“Of course I remember that. I did not participate, but I heard that the first and second brothers participated. I heard it was a tough stage with ten-thousand-year pens. ”

“That's right.”

I stare at me with a disgruntled look to see if I answered too simply.

“Then why is that? You want to point out that I wasn't there? ”

“It's not like that. Something must have happened. By the way, you didn't hear why the second official joined the auction house? ”

“You didn't hear. I just heard you failed to bid on some strange ornament. ”

It doesn't even say that it was the Holy Grail of Diablos. I tried to explain that part, but the Confederate played.

“But is there anything else you want to hear? You were trying to make the fountain pen your own, so you could maintain your authenticity. It's absurd. ”

I shook my head. Then I became interested in the eyes of the prince.

“Actually, the second Confucius was obsessed with something called the Holy Grail of Diablos. ”

“Not the fountain pen? ”

“You didn't even participate in the fountain pen bidding. ”

I can hear the princess's brain swirling here.

But he won't find the answer. I'm the only one with answers because I have the power to see the status window.

“Have another drink. ”

Glug.

I filled up the empty princess's cup. The princess drank voluntarily. I can't help but wonder if you want to drink something as strong as liquor.

He lowers his cup, and I quietly reveal the truth.

“The second Confucius is Mana User. ”

“Mana User? ”

It must have been quite a surprise. I thought something would come up, private or public, but it was judged as a Mana User.

“Ha, Mana User. Mana User? Hahahahaha! The passing dog must be laughing. You don't want to make jokes with me. ”

“I'm sure. The second Confucius is Mana User. ”

“... Are you serious? ”

“Is there a reason you're lying here now? ”

“Shit! No way! ”

I've never told a lie before. And we decided to get on the same boat.

“If it's Mana user...... You can't possibly be trying to stir up a rebellion these days, can you? ”

“I don't think so. If it's Confucius Prague I know, he won't be interested in succession at all. ”

“On what grounds?"

“It's crucial that you didn't show any interest in the fountain pen at all. And you've never been actively involved in a succession competition, have you? ”

“Who else knows about this? ”

“Only I know that. ”

“How did you know? ”

It was a question I was waiting for. I raised Mana to simply form a Demibeast. The blue Mana flashes brightly.

The moment the Demibeast is completed.

Bloop!

A red flame rises. The empty-handed Confucius was furious and frozen. The magic that unfolded before his eyes was' fire ’magic.

I bended my hand and practiced fire magic even more dazzling in his presence. It wasn't attack magic, but it was enough to attract the attention of a person.

“Amazing. What kind of magic is this? ”

You think you're a member of the circus? I raised a spark with a smile.

“It's not magic, it's magic. ”

“Magic……? ”

Tak!

The flame disappears in an instant as you flick your fingers. I showed them both my hands and sleeves to show them that it wasn't magic.

Of course there was nothing there.

And there was only one meaning. The Confucius, who realized it later, bit his lip.

“Son of a bitch...... You were the Mana user, not the user? Is that also a wizard?”

“Sorry for deceiving you. I didn't mean to cheat. I had a complicated situation. Please understand.”

“Ha! No way. There are two Mana users in our family? ”

A wizard who can manipulate Mana and its mana under certain laws is extremely rare. It is not something that can be seen in everyday life.

So you'll be amazed at the fact that I'm Mana User, as well as the Second Confucius.

“Hahahaha.... ”

The princess grabbed the glass with a trembling hand. He's now looking at me as if he knows why I'm giving him such a strong drink.

“This is really, really crazy... Dylan. I knew there was something about you. Mana, not error? Hahahaha! So you're from the Horse Tower? ”

“No, I'm no affiliation. ”

“Then how can you use magic? Even the Mana User must inherit magic knowledge from the Horse Tower to become a wizard. ”

“You won't believe it, but you've been able to use Mana since you fell off the balcony and lost your memory. And magic is self-taught. ”

“Excuse me?”

“You may not believe it, but it's true. ”

After a series of shocking stories, the Confucius couldn't keep his mouth shut. No matter how cold and analytical he was, he was still unable to concentrate on what was happening in front of him.

His reaction made me realize how great people are.

“…… I'll throw myself off a three-story balcony tomorrow. ”

Have you finally come to your senses? You can move on to the next story since you're joking enough.

“You've convinced me that the second Confucius is Mana User. ”

“Yes. I've heard that Mana User can sense each other's power. ”

“But that direction is a little ambiguous. ”

“What direction are we talking about all of a sudden? ”

“Prince Prague is practicing dark magic, not ordinary magic. ”

Kwadang Tang!

The table is pushed and the bottle and the glass lying on top are smashed. It was Confucius Hamel who opened his eyes.

“That shouldn't be a bit of a lie and exaggeration, should it? ”

Such fierceness. Even I, the Mana user, am overwhelmed.

“I have no reason to lie to you in this situation. Most of all, even if it's a lie, I think you can use it in the best possible way. ”

“Any evidence?”

“The proof is that you bought the Holy Grail of Diablos for a very expensive price. ”

I briefly explained the process to the public. I was competing, but I ended up taking the Holy Grail. And since then, the Confederate has paid a huge sum of 20,000 gold and taken back the Holy Grail.

In addition, he explained the function of the Holy Grail in Diablo. This object is used as a mediator of Dark Magic and Necromancy, and its potential is unknown.

“My guess is, 'The Holy Grail of Diablos’ is probably a cursing medium or a necromancer. It's clear that it reacts to magical forces. I once touched a cup after winning the auction, and it reacted to my magic. ”

A thud came from the hand of the prince who had heard the process. He hides his anger to the extent that blood spurts out.

“Have you seen this fucking guy? You spent 20,000 gold to do something crazy. Necromancy there? I can't forgive you. ”

The princess gasps with a rolling bottle of wine in her mouth. He wiped his lips completely.

“But what if the Church finds out? ”

“This is going to be a problem. The paladins will be dispatched, prowling the castle house. ”

“We should avoid that. ”

The princess nods quietly.

“So, what's your plan? ”

“Regardless of the successor, I think you should handle it in a reasonable direction. ”

I took the letter out of my arms. It was delivered by Eluna with a fountain pen. I revealed the identity of the letter.

“Here is the list of items requested by Prague Confucius at the top of Mathis. If you look closely, it looks like a normal object, but it's full of magical ingredients. Some of them are hard to come by. ”

“Why did I ask you to get the ingredients? ”

“I've eaten 20,000 gold in exchange for the Holy Grail of Diablos, which means show some respect. ”

“Hahahahaha!”

The prince laughs, but his glabella distorts. I tilted my head with a strange look.

“So?”

“We at Metys are going to get all of these items. ”

“You want to help commit a crime? ”

“No way. I'm going to use location-tracking magic to find out where your second favorite secret hobby is. ”

A secret space is a place where dark magic and necromancy are staged. We don't know where it is. It's usually said to be in a cave or a mangled place, but you'll have to look for it.

“You think he's in the mansion? ”

“I wouldn't do that. Then I would have felt the grim magic of working as a butler. It's probably outside the mansion because I didn't feel it. ”

“Is that the scenario of being publicized and thrown out of the family? ”

I shaken my head firmly.

“That's not my call. Then the third Confucius himself. It should work in the beekeeping system. ”

“Good plan. ”

The prince smiled satisfactorily, but slightly secondarily.

“It's definitely not a good idea to publicize it. The Church is in trouble if they get involved. Therefore, it must be dealt with in secret within the family. Leave the underwater work to me, and you work your way up to the material supply. ”

“I'll do as I'm told. ”

“Thanks for the drink! ”

Confucius left my room.

I summoned the maid to clean up the room and lay down on the bed again.

“Everything is ready now. If only we could get through the princess' birthday party. ”

I closed my eyes quietly.
