The Villainous Daughter’s Butler ~I Raised Her to be Very Cute~

Sophia, send the lady to the classroom, and I'll head to the servant course classroom. So I take classes as usual and go to the student club room for lunch break.

Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte takes classes on noble courses, while I am free to move around for lunch breaks in order to take classes on servant courses.

In exchange for that, Sophia, I've had less of a look at your lady's tea party.

"Oh, Cyril. You came to see me again today, didn't you?

"... Senior Foll, please stop making bad jokes about people"

I should have escaped the dying statute, but Foll is still alone in the student council room - he has a maid Leah to be exact, but doesn't he have any friends in the class?

"Hey, you're thinking something rude, aren't you?

"No, I wonder if you don't have any friends."

"Honestly, isn't that what you're allowed to do? It was a secret about your illness, but if you suddenly change your behavior, you'll be suspicious. That's why we're doing what we always do."

"... I see. I won't deny that I don't have any friends."

"Are you gonna cry?

"Forgive me for the hassle of refreshing"

"... well, you have no choice."

Couscous and I got laughed at. I treated you like a botch earlier, but you're a lot brighter than the first time I saw you. It would be proof that I have been able to afford it in my heart.

"By the way, what can I really do for you?

"Actually, I've been asking Senior Fol for a favor"

"Fine, I'll take it from you"

"Not yet."

"- You didn't say anything? But you're a benefactor of your life, and I can imagine if there's anything you can do for me in this situation. And for the record..."

Shortly after Foll put up his pin and index finger, a knock sounded from behind me.

Visitors appeared to have been called in advance by His Highness Lancelot, Foll.

What I wanted Foll to ask for was a take on His Highness Lancelot. So it's just a word that Foll called him in anticipation of it.

But...

………………

In the room behind the student council room, me and His Highness Lancelot were facing each other silently.

Apparently this prince, the coveted Sister Foll, called me to fly in. I'm upset because it wasn't me who Foll said you had business with, it was him.

... year-to-year, and it is true that I am more adult than His Highness Alfors, but I wonder if it is as a prince that openly persists. No, I know how that feels as a man.

"So, what do you want from me, Butler?

"I would like to go straight in. Would you like to make a deal with me?

"Me and you made a deal, huh?

Pickling and frowning, he sent an immediate signal that the servants would exit. Though of the same sex, it is unusual that the royal family is alone in a private room with a strange servant.

Apparently, it's true that you trust me as your cousin's benefactor.

"So, you're dealing with Miss Sophia?

"That's right. And for you, the Honorable Forsinia."

His Highness Lancelot's eyes were lifted.

At the same time, his signs become colored by swordswallowing. I suppose you thought I was trying to use Foll's treatment as a bargaining material in exchange for Miss Sophia's disengagement.

It was on purpose to mislead me that way.

It would be helpful if it stayed like this, but in one of my moods, Foll could be taken hostage. Even if not, make him realize that the same thing happens when I'm gone.

And...

"Check this out"

I offered His Highness Lancelot a piece of paper. What's written there is a catalog spec of the magic equipment I'm trying to develop.

"What's this... like?

Whoa, that's just how the catalog works. I accidentally responded with a feeling when I was dealing with Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte.

"Generally speaking, it's a magic guide that can bring out a person's magic and get them into a magic stone"

"Hmm? So you're saying that with this, we can keep demon stone consumption down?

"Right. That's the way it's supposed to be used."

If it means the efficiency of conversion of magic, it is overwhelmingly more efficient to use direct witchcraft. But if you use the lights for a long time, for example, it is much easier to activate and install the magic guide.

In that sense, this magic guide will reduce the consumption of demon stones.

"But is it really possible? I've never heard of magic in a magic stone?

"It's possible. It doesn't matter, however, even if it was impossible in itself. The important thing is that the magic you use for that magic tool is not traditional."

Magic that draws the magic of others existed from the beginning. However, its absorption is small and does not make sense to the opponent with high magic resistance. Therefore, it could not be used for Fol.

But I'm absorbing magic from Foll.

This doesn't mean my qualities are superior. I'm just saying that the magic I use comes from a previous life and is more absorbing than magic in this world.

"... wait a minute. You only have the magic of Sister Fol..."

"Yes, I have absorbed it"

The anticipation turns to certainty and his face fills with surprises and expectations.

As soon as it reaches its highest level, I will say the word.

"With this magic guide, you will be able to remove the magic of His Highness Forsinia"

"Ho, is that true!? Really, is that possible!?"

"There are conditions that must be cleared, but it is possible in itself to create a magic guide that pulls through magic, as long as it can accomplish it"

Given Foll's magic resistance, it's more likely to use Demon Stone's magic to pull out the magic than charge Demon Stone's magic - about it.

But I can definitely pull out Foll's magic. Foll's unconsciousness, for example, makes it possible to take urgent action when he can no longer release magic on his own.

"Great idea. But it doesn't make sense if you can't actually make it. What are the conditions that must be fulfilled?

"I have a few problems, but the biggest problem is the device. Made in the Flamefield Empire, you need the latest devices."

"... Hmm, Flamefield Imperial Device, huh? Now that His Royal Highness Prince Harold and His Royal Highness Princess Charlotte are here, don't get them if you ask."

"I have a few conditions for that."

I will wait for His Highness Lancelot, who is about to fly soon.

As such, he asked that the original purpose of use of the device never be divulged. In the meantime, we will prepare a fictitious purpose for use, so we ask that it be obtained through the Raccoon Chamber of Commerce.

"You think it's the Raccoon Chamber of Commerce?

"Yes, it's a trustworthy chamber of commerce, so it's a great way to hide its original purpose of use"

"... would be good. Is that all there is to it?

"One more thing. There are at least two devices. Considering the spare, I'd like you to have about four."

"Okay. If that leads to Sister Foll's safety, I'll do what you say. Is that why the terms of exchange with the device prevented Miss Sophia from getting engaged?"

It seems to have a stronger meaning of confirmation than doubt. "We have to think about reasons that don't lead to a deterioration in our relationship with the Flamefield Empire and convince Father," he murmured.

"No, not at all. I will prepare the materials to persuade Your Majesty."

"... what are you talking about?

"Why do you think I wanted more than one device and asked you to hide the purpose for which you got it?

"It's..."

With something to say, he turns a gaze like he explores. Apparently, Sophia, she's also known about Miss Magic Overdosage.

Therefore, I shook my head to the side in response to the question.

"I was going to use a spare for that"

Sophia, I'm on the lady's side, and if Sophia lady, who doesn't have a high magic resistance, is the opponent, other magicians can handle it.

A magic guide for a lady is what you want if you can and it's not mandatory.

"The other one, then... no way. No, but..."

"I'm not sure yet either. Therefore, we are in the process of gathering that information."

But it's probably for sure.

In the first place, it was next year that two of the Flamefield Empires would come to study in this country at the eve of the Espressivo of Light and Darkness.

Nonetheless, he suddenly speeded up his studies abroad.

No matter how much I was interested in witchcraft, no matter how low the royalty inherited the throne, it was unnatural, such as flying at a rate that I didn't have time to make a uniform.

The answer to why we were in such a hurry was at the end of the words and deeds of Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte.

"... this surprised me. If that's the case, it's easy to stop Miss Sophia from getting engaged as a bargaining material. In time, we'll be able to make a loan to the Flamefield Empire."

"So can you respond to the deal?

"It would be good. You're as violent as you think you are."

Thus a deal was concluded with His Highness Lancelot. I haven't had a chance to use the word Frau's puppeteer, which I have prepared as a trump card.

Next time, I'll give it to you another time.
