It was one woman who welcomed Jared and Dennis out of the carriage.

"I'll see you first. My name is Clawens Dort. I am a nanny, serving the Duke of Cassandra Hagendorf."

The former court magician named with the greeting was an old woman with a gentle grin that made her feel elegant somewhere.

The white monochromatic hair is put together in a barretta, making the woman feel youthful from the spine pinned and stretched.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Jared Murphy."

"... hehe"

"Um?"

A confusion arises in Clawens, who wrinkled his eyeballs and smiled at the boy. Her eyes dwelt in mercy, as if to see her grandchildren.

"I'm sorry. Um, I thought Liz's son had grown up."

"Did you know my mother"

"Yeah, it was a short period of time, but I've had a few battlefields with her before I retired. She was a very strong, beautiful woman."

That's what I said, she was trying to remember the past, but her expression gradually shades.

"But I never thought you'd be young enough to die. I'm so sorry."

"Thank you. I'm sure my mother would love that."

I never thought I knew my mother, it was an unexpected encounter.

"Of course I know about you, Jared. I only saw you once when you were still born."

"Yes, you were. I didn't know."

"I did not face Baron Dowm, so I wondered if I could do it. Liz had come to the royal palace several times with you just born. I was looking after you for about an hour instead of her."

I can't just gently bicker at my mother and my information that I didn't know, even though my chest warms up.

"Dorto."

"Please call me Clawens. I'm Cassandra's nanny now."

"Well, Mr. Clawens, if you can talk about my mother, I'd like to hear it all the time, but let's get down to business."

"... right. What I did, I did. I'm sorry about that. I'll show you inside the mansion."

Even though he regrets that the story ended halfway through, Clawens remembered his role and put the two of them through the mansion.

The villa at the House of the Duke of Hagendorf had nothing special to look at.

It used to be the residence of Cassandra, and it stays where it is after life.

When I was put through to the reception room, the nanny prepared me some tea.

"Dear Jared, Dennis, I am so sorry for your loss."

Clawens began by bowing his head.

"Originally, Jared was going to be imprisoned in this mansion. I am your watchdog and I have a role to play in keeping this place."

"... I see. The first seat of a former court magician would be possible."

I don't even know what kind of magician she is. Apparently, he's Dennis' mentor, but Jared doesn't even grasp the ability of the first seat of active court magician. Either way, it must have been a tough fight.

"Master, I ask you to go straight in, what is Lord Cassandra thinking?

Until now, Dennis, who kept his mouth shut to keep Jared and Clawens out of the way, opens.

"You've been a pain in the ass for a long time. But that would be nice. Answer. The young lady is willing to revive her ancestors."

"Yes. I and Master Murphy both know that. Lord Cassandra is the descendant of a witch who served her ancestors."

"Well, did you know that much? Apparently, Lady Rasmus is going to pull you on her side and stop the lady."

"... even about Rasmus, you know"

"Of course it is. Because it was the first seat of the court magician, albeit the former one. Before that, I owed that one a lot of help for the lady. That's why I'm sorry you two went the wrong way."

Nanny with a sinking expression, go on.

"As a matter of fact, I am not even informed of the lady's heart. If I were you, I wouldn't want to go blade to my husband who serves you. But if anything happens to your daughter, I will regret it until I die. That's why I'm betraying your daughter right now."

Clawens gives top priority to serving Cassandra only as a nanny. If it's true, you don't even want to reveal the information to Jared and the others like a message.

Even in the form of betrayal, there must be a reason to try to stop the woman you raised from a very young age.

"It may not be everything I know. But I know it has to stop."

"What does the Duke of Hagendorf want to do?

"My lady wants revenge on this country."
