Marquis' Express Butler

“Different ways. ”

Confucius Hamel smiles out his face. My lips are going to touch like this.

“Do you know why I care about you? They always bring out the unexpected and they play the big game. in a very interesting way. ”

A twisted princess starts walking around the room. Let's hear a story. I said behind his back.

“Princess Ophelia wants to be close to Miss Sapiella. ”

A paused Confucius smiles.

“What a surprise. I thought it was just a greeting for the princess. Where is this coming from? Or did you hear it yourself? ”

“I heard it myself. We had a chance to talk alone at a birthday party. ”

“Oh, that's why they say so much. I don't know if you heard, but some people are suggesting that you're going into the central regime. ”

“That's no offensive rumor. ”

“Are you serious?"

I smiled and turned to talk. It's a good time to let the kid ride like this.

No matter how much you ride with your Confederate, you must not show him all your cards.

It is not because he is not 100 percent untrustworthy, but because he realizes that he has to be unpredictable in what to do to gain even more value.

So I'm always going to leave room. If I do, I'll be splattered somewhere else.

“Anyway, I think she meant it. She said," Bitch can't make friends. "I didn't expect you to be so honest. ”

Hamel frowns and asks.

“She really said that? ”

“That's right.”

“What a surprise. ”

Confucius Hamel twitches his chin and thinks: The gun starts flashing from his eyes.

“Yes... you did?" Then we can solve the story like that. I think I know what your plan is. ”

“Perhaps you were right. ”

I was running the cutting edge of modern education called graduate school. He has the knowledge to amuse the average intelligence of people in the world, but he is an outsider. His intuition and insight sometimes preceded me.

“Shouldn't we just take back what Princess Ophelia once said she wanted to come to Adeline territory? ”

“You got it right. If the princess moves, the guards will move with her. And then there's no longer any military threat in Astria. ”

“Of course. If it does, it's no different than threatening the crown this time. ”

I nod with a smile.

“Operation Peace Envoy." Hahaha! Interesting. Fun! ”

Confucius Hamel seems satisfied.

That was another card I picked up. Inviting Ophelia into the Adeline family. Go ahead and scout the perimeter with Hamel, and they won't have any more seizures.

If the princess travels that way to the Count of Astria, that's even better.

The relationship between the princess and the king did not seem like a simple marriage.

The king spoke freely about the princess and the state. Which means she may have a higher chance of being named heir than she thought.

It's not like there's no history of the queen at all.

In fact, where I lived, there was no famous queen.

Either way, the Earl of Astria and the Delfino Merchants Guild will have a headache. Their target is the Adeline family, not the royal family of Alprost.

If the tension on the front gets dull, it's enough for us, Mathis, to step up and take over the war. The buildup to wage a commercial war is still well underway.

“Good idea. In order to do that, I need to put undertakings in place. ”

“I trust you'll cooperate on that. ”

“Of course. I'll offer the princess an invitation, too. Maybe things will go easier than I thought. If I'd known this, I wouldn't have had to roast the nobles like that. ”

“Sowing seeds is not a bad thing in any case. Someday it will help. ”

“The packaging is plausible, but it doesn't make me feel any better. ”

The horse is still trembling at the mouth of Prince Hamel. Perhaps the princess is imagining her visit to Adeline territory.

I got the next one.

“And Miss Sapiella has ordered us to begin preparing for her return. ”

Already?

“Seems like you've made up your mind. ”

“Then we need to be prepared. ”

“I've escalated the situation to the head of Britain and asked for help. I'll pick up the departure date in three days. I suggest you return home with the Prince, if possible. ”

“I have someone I need to see. ”

“It's dangerous to move alone now. ”

Fortunately, Congressman Hamel did not take my warning lightly. He folds his arms, thinking carefully and answering.

“Are you saying you'll be ambushed? Nothing happened when I got here. ”

“It may take some time for the King to make a wish for mediation at his birthday party. They won't miss that airflow. ”

“As a matter of fact, so am I. Perhaps the King and some of the nobles have joined forces in mediation, so there is a chance they will create an irreversible cause. ”

It's a factor killing.

The lives of Sapiella or Confessor Hamel are enough for House Adeline to make war a cause. The Astrians will wait for war and accept it.

The king may already be ready outside. I want to buy some information at the Mystery Conference because I feel like it, but I'm a little short on financial strength.

And if you have that kind of money, you'd better get ready and get going. After all, I'm confident I can protect you two.

“But it's more dangerous to move together at once. I know you have an excellent thumb, but you're not a monopoly. ”

“I have a plan. ”

“Recite.”

“I intend to bring the Bahamut into this escort. The Blue Dragon Knights will be worthy to face any opponent who comes here. ”

“What's your excuse?"

“For now, I'm going to use Eluna. ”

“Eluna Yang. ”

The Confucius made an interesting face. The sooner I saw his face, the sooner I realized my plan. I knew you had a good head, so you can talk.

“Are you going to appeal to the danger of Miss Eluna, the factor behind Mathis? ”

“That's right. If I lose Elona, I plan on escorting her to the company. After all, the Delfino Merchants Guild is the key to stopping Mathis. ”

“I have to make an excuse. ”

“I'm going to make good use of the promotion ceremony today. ”

“Looking forward to it.”

The Confucian shakes his hand, I take the example and leave the Confucian's room.

It's time to transform into Soo-hyun and take the title. I reported Sapiella's infatuation to the wagon, disguised and caught the wagon in the street.

I put on a nice outfit for today, and the horse's waist is bent even more than usual.

“It's an honor to be of service. Sir, where are you going? ”

“The Duke of Bahamut. ”

“I will take you at ease! ”

The wagon showed great care to close the door to the wagon. I'll give you a tip later.

Soon the wagon began to move.

I was uncomfortable because my hangover was still not resolved. However, the Duke has no choice but to empower himself considering the reason for the inauguration ceremony shortly after the Princess' birthday party.

Many nobles have come from all over the country to celebrate the princess' birthday. There aren't many nobles returning the next day, so you can invite a lot of people.

Of course it's not for me.

Duke Bahamut would have been aimed at reinforcing his influence over Mathis by giving the baron title to 'Su-hyun’ and imprinting it on many nobles.

It's kind of a show, obviously.

I still have no reason to refuse. If you give it to me, you can digest it so it doesn't burn and flour.

And that position will be a burden to me and to the Duke.

If I were the Duke, I wouldn't have held such a grand inauguration ceremony. Because if I ask you to do something in that position, it won't be easy to refuse.

The higher I got, the more important I realized face-to-face was.

“This is your chance to understand what the word appendix means. Duke.”

I already had a plausible plan in mind.

* * *

Upon arriving at the mansion, I was able to see the status of Duke Bahamut from the wagon at a glance.

Even though it was about an hour early, the wagon that was driving the guests was arriving restlessly. I paused and looked around.

“That's amazing. How many people did you call? ”

As the head of the royal court and a handful of duchesses, guests may have come in advance, but this was beyond my wildest imagination.

“Soo-hyun. Welcome."

Chief Elwin approaches. I naturally smiled and greeted him.

“This is a lot of customers. If I had known this, I would have borrowed a nice wagon. ”

“The quality of a person is not determined only by their appearance. Soo-hyun has already qualified. In that sense, I look forward to it. ”

There are also eyes to see whether the bones are thick. I smiled and said hello.

“Hahaha. That's actually what I'm going to say. I'm a newcomer, but Chief Elwin hasn't been in the family long. ”

“It seems that being important to the family is not just about the number of years of service. ”

“You mean heartfelt. ”

What's the story behind Elwin's bitter smile? I wish I had a chance to hear it later. I think it has something to do with the Duchess.

Then he clasped his head, pointing to the mansion with his hands.

“Now, let's go inside. The banquet hall is still being prepared, so I have prepared refreshments in the reception room for a while. You'll want to talk to your guests. ”

“I understand.”

I arrived at the reception hall shortly, and received the gaze of the nobles gathered inside.

“Look who it is. Aren't you Sir Soo-hyun? I heard the protagonist usually appears last. ”

One of the nobles shudders. I heard laughter everywhere.

The first atmosphere was not bad.

There were already a lot of people who said hello at Princess Ofelia's birthday party who could be less nervous.

I shrugged my shoulders and stepped inside.

“You're all here early. I don't think any of you have ever seen it before. Say hello again. This is Su-hyun, Mathis' master. Please take good care of it."

A mixed greeting returns. I smiled and made eye contact with them.

But it wasn't just the good guys.

“Did you make a fountain pen and a ball pen? ”

A well-mannered man approaches. Its eyes narrow beyond the monocle like a predator.

“Indeed.”

“The princess gave me a chance to try it yesterday, and it was amazing. The Duke thought he was worthy of the title. ”

“A compliment.”

“Yes. A compliment, to be honest. It's not that easy to be the head of the Bahamut family. ”

The silence settles, and at the same time, I feel a cool look around me.

You've already got your mojo? It's understandable that a young man like blue is starting to get Duke's love, but you can't do this on a good day.

I said with a relaxed smile behind my back.

“Let's have a full name first. ”

“Donald. Master of the Blue Dragon Mercenaries. ”

Oh, is that you?

I wanted to see your face, but I just got here. Thank you for relieving me of my efforts.
