Marquis' Express Butler

I went right back to Chris's room. The three of them were talking about whether they were getting close or not.

Chris asked.

“How did it go? ”

“Permission granted. We have one more piece of good news, and we have two more days. We leave in three days. ”

“Couldn't have been easy to convince. The Adelines aren't the only ones. Two more days and the Blue Dragon Knights will have to carry out another two days of operation... So it's this easy? ”

Chris responded as if he was surprised.

I just laughed. I couldn't say that Confucius Hamel was going to lie down, so I gave him a reasonable excuse.

“People's lives depend on it. And the plan we proposed wasn't reckless, right? I don't need a medal for my sacrifice. ”

I turned my gaze to Arthurs and Eluna.

“Prepare to leave immediately. Don't overload the luggage. Food is locally sourced where possible. ”

“I understand.”

“I don't know what kind of battle this will be. Get as much armor as you can. ”

Eluna asked.

“But is it okay if I leave the school I saw? The reason the Blue Dragon Knights are mobilized is to protect me... ”

“Confucius Hamel will make an excuse for you. Don't worry."

They seemed a little nervous about the sudden start, but they kept my word.

When the two of them left the room, it was just me and Chris. I was running around like this, and I felt a little tired of using my head, so I sat at the table.

Then Chris placed the cup of tea in front of me and followed the tea himself.

“Ah, thank you. ”

I tasted the tea without thanks. As the cold energy passed through my neck, my mind began to calm down.

His favors didn't seem sudden or anything.

I have a status window.

Without his ring of fate, his liking, there's no way he could have twisted his will. Doubtful.

“But Chris, Shouldn't you be ready, too? ”

“We can leave anytime. I was expecting you to leave early. ”

“I shouldn't have worried. But you can't use attack magic, can you? ”

“I only learned magic. Even if I did, I can't right now. Manat's circuitry hasn't stabilized either. It's suicide to use magic while you're at it. ”

My head nodded. In the unlikely event that something goes wrong, the surgery will only explode in this situation.

I reloaded Chris's status window for a moment.

There is only one of his traits that can be used in battle.

Slash C.

C ranks are better than the average, but they're not nearly as good as the knights. Maybe he can barely use it for self-defense.

“Can you handle the black? ”

Chris was a little surprised.

“How did you know that? ”

“I just took it. ”

“ ……. ”

“That's not the point, but what can you do when the fighting happens? ”

“I am confident enough to protect my body. I have a good mind to hide. After living a lot of my life on the run, I got used to it. I'm not gonna grab your ankles. ”

“Was there a characteristic of hiding? ”

“Characteristics?”

“No, I'm just talking to myself. ”

I didn't see it in the status window, but it's weird.

I don't know if it's because my rank is too low or because of the level limit in my status window.

I'm hiding from swordsmanship, after all. That's not bad.

Then Chris looks at me with a gentle look.

“By the way, shouldn't you spend some time with Miss Sapiella before you leave? ”

“Why?”

“I have information that may be appropriate. ”

“It's all a big deal. ”

I don't know if it's true or not, but once he made sense, I headed to the spiritual abode.

Don't forget I'm her executive secretary. After all this planning, I can't leave the mansion without her permission.

I knocked lightly.

“Miss, it's Dylan. ”

“Come in.”

I carefully turn the door hook to open the door. Sapiella sits down and reads. Arwen was gassing up next to him.

Did he come straight from Chris' room? I felt like I was in a completely different world. The world is as comfortable as a place without worries and anxiety.

“What book are you reading today? ”

“This book was sent to me by Ofelia as a gift, and I was just looking at it. I heard it's a popular marriage in the royal province these days. ”

“I see.”

But I didn't find it that interesting. I immediately closed the book. Sapiella had a taste for arithmetic rather than rhyme. So I used to read novels, too.

Leaning against the couch, she looked at me with a straight face.

“Looks like you're busy today. I think it was right after that Chris guy showed up. Right?”

“That's it. I have something very urgent to tell you. ”

“I don't feel so good. Whenever Lord Dylan makes such a face, he always... ”

I let Arwen know for a moment. In the car she was about to leave with her debt, I reached out and took it and stood beside Sapiella's spirit.

He began to squeeze slowly.

“You know, it's not good. It will be more dangerous to go back. So I'm going to have to step away from you for a while to do my job. ”

“It's dangerous, isn't it? ”

“There's nothing in the world that isn't dangerous, miss. Rather, it's easy to be carefree if you decide it's not dangerous. ”

Sapiella sighs. His face looked complicated. She was anxious for me to leave her side.

“Your safety will be assured. I'm just stepping up to eliminate threats in advance. Don't worry too much. ”

“How can I not worry? You always give your life for me. ”

“I know the secretary has to pay. ”

“Now you're Adeline's mistress before you were an executive secretary, right? It's Lord Medici. ”

“But the mission I care about the most is being an executive secretary. ”

“Lord Dylan……. ”

I woke up to see if she was frustrated. I had to stop the fan. She was too close to do a fan stroke.

Sapiella clenches her lips. So I couldn't speak for a while.

I waited for her to open her mouth again.

A few moments later, something unexpected happened.

Her pretty little hands wrapped around my hands. Obviously she grabbed my hand. I felt warm and soft.

“When will I be able to relax and drink my tea? No worries, no worries. I loved that teahouse I took you to before. In fact, it wasn't the teahouse that was good, it was the time you spent with the lord. ”

A single word she said pierced my heart.

I think the death flag is about to stand, but it must be your feelings, right?

Anyway, I'm glad that the spirit left that moment as a really good memory. I tried to make a tea shop of a similar concept in Adelina, but it was good. We better hurry.

“Be safe. Don't get hurt. Come back alive. If you don't, I'll never forgive you. ”

“This will protect you. ”

I saw the necklace Sapiella gave me one day. It was on my neck. I don't know anything else, but this necklace is precious.

“Sounds like a really effective piece of defense. I've had a lot of cases so far, but not a scratch on me. This one will protect me again. Bandsi.”

I put the necklace back in my clothes. Then, on one knee, he holds the child's right hand and turns it and kisses the back of his hand.

This is the first time I have been such an active skinship on infancy since I opened my eyes from someone else's body.

It's just a formal greeting among nobles, but it's different now.

It's like I promised her I'd be home in one piece.

And it's proof that we're not just tied up with owners and executives.

So stay sharp and keep your promise.

If you come back safely, I will give you a hug. You'd think it'd be rude to close your eyes. And having a nice dessert while relaxing in my tea house, having a nice party and dancing, and also....

There's so much to do.

So, this mission must succeed. For me and her happy future.

“I'll be back then. Miss."

“Take care, Lord Dylan. ”

When I took the example, I left the room without foolishness.

Late that afternoon, a separate unit of four elite members secretly left the mansion.

* * *

After all the arrangements had been made and we left the Kingdom, we ran to the first destination. The lead was Arthur's. Horseback magic was the best among us. I controlled the pace.

Me and Chris run side by side. If Arthurs is in charge of the front, the rear is bordered by Eluna's keen senses.

“How far is it to St. Lucia Forest? ”

Chris looks back at the other side of the sky at dusk and turns his head.

“Maybe two more hours. Assuming there's no interference. ”

“Fine. Let's hurry! ”

“Yikes!”

We accelerate at the same time, and four robust horses begin to gallop quickly.

That's how time goes.

As expected, we were able to reach the forest of St. Lucia just before sunset. The forest was still, and no one seemed to be camping.

“Arthurs, switch places with Eluna. ”

“Got it.”

Arthurs shifts his horse, and Eluna takes the lead naturally. She pulls out her bow, feeding her flesh, and letting her prepare for an attack at any time.

“Report anything suspicious immediately. ”

“Yes.”

Elves are a tribe of forests. Even if it's a town, Eluna is best to stand in front of this forest and take a look.

There is no big difficulty in confirming people, not specific people. Tracking human remains isn't harder than I thought.

If you look at the light or smell, or the condition of the soil or the crumbling parts of the forest, you can see how someone stayed there.

“Wait a minute.”

Eluna stops speaking.

She leaps off the horse and looks at the floor. I think I found something. We got off the horse to protect her.

While looking carefully at the surrounding terrain, she pulls out a small brush of hair from her waist and plucks the floor away.

I thought there would be nothing, but a thick, dark floor appeared.

“What is this? ”
