Marquis' Express Butler

130.00

Elona only called out to Elona separately because she thought it would interfere with Calmond or the others if she went into Mathis' headquarters for no reason. We entered a small teahouse downtown.

This was a high-end teahouse that only nobles could enter. Of course, I had to watch during my apprenticeship, but no one would stand in the way of me, the semi-noble and Lord Medici.

Even without a title, Eluna was able to enter because she was my companion.

“Welcome. Road Medici. We'll take you to a nice room. ”

“Take good care of her. ”

It's a good thing, even if there is a difference in identity, you should treat it with respect. It could change the grade of the room.

We followed the staff up the stairs.

It looked like it was all in room format. When I injected Mana into my hearing, there was also a place where the groaning of men and women was violent.

I guess it's also used as a lovers' retreat.

But most of them have healthy stories coming and going. It was a place like the pool of wives or a cafe where men boast about themselves.

“Do you like this room? ”

I nodded my head to the mild-mannered waiter. We ordered a proper drink and sat across the table.

“I've never been to a place like this before. ”

In Eluna's words, I nod. She was looking out the window.

“You seem to like it. Let's come together often. ”

“Isn't this where you come on a date? ”

“You have to have tea and snacks and have meetings in places like this to get your head blown off. Isn't it frustrating to be alone at work? ”

Eluna laughs. I haven't seen her in a while. She's become bold. Now I'm going to ask you out on a very public date.

“I'm frustrated, but I'm not frustrated when the Master is in the company. I've been feeling it lately...... The atmosphere seems to be sinking a lot since the master isn't in the company. ”

“Isn't it nice that there's no one to nag? ”

“No way.”

The mood seems to be tickling. I cut her off and got to the point.

“You have no idea what I'm talking about, do you? ”

“I think it's because you were attacked in the Royal Road, correct? ”

“Precisely.”

I'm Eluna, of course. I'm secretary now, but if the company grows in the future, I'll leave my assistant in charge.

“I've given it a lot of thought, and I think there are two possibilities. ”

I was so fortunate that I told Elona all about my doubts. I'm increasingly anxious about her nodding face.

“I don't think someone from Duke Bahamut was after me. I don't think he did anything big enough to send an assassin. I love the way the Delfino people use the term" main dish. "”

“Are you... doubting me?" ”

Eluna cautiously asked.

The anxiety on her face stems from the concern that she might be questioned. I coldly shook my head.

“Can you believe that? If you were the culprit, my neck wouldn't be intact. All I want to know is how they knew who I was. Assuming the Delfinos are behind it. ”

Eluna regained her composure. I knew it would be like this, but I don't like the look on her face. But the honest part of the story is true.

“That's why you summoned Simon. How was it?”

“He wasn't the culprit. ”

“May I ask why you're so sure? ”

“I don't want to go into specifics, but I have my own way of figuring out what they mean. ”

Eluna is momentarily lost in thought. After a long time, there was nothing much to talk about, so I was the one who said it.

“If Delfino's men were buying it, how did they know who I was? ”

“I don't think it's impossible. ”

“Why?”

“You have a weakness for wearing cotton wool. Even if you wear it in a spooky place, you're likely to be caught being followed. If the person who went in and came out was different, the person who was tailed would think it's strange. ”

“Don't you see that? I did a really good job of discreetly, and you noticed that? ”

“It's what people do. Nothing's perfect. Of course, the Master is a remarkable man. ”

He's giving me the bottle.

In the words of Eluna beating the bones, I could no longer speak. I thought it was too easy for me.

Of course, if they're going around spreading rumors about me, they'll stop if I catch them. It's a noose. If you burn it with fire magic, there's no evidence.

But the problem is that I'm still a target of unidentified forces.

I don't like to think of it as a level-up opportunity, but I'm worried that people around me will get hurt. Above all, I'm annoyed that I can't blow up the bread.

I feel relieved that everything has to be controlled under me.

The same thing happened in the lab.

It's like the instinct of a puppet.

“Anyway, let's do some more research here. It doesn't matter how much money it costs, so find out how far the Delfinos know. ”

“I'll come and see for myself. ”

“What are you going to do? ”

“If you talk to the Delfino Merchants Guild, you'll get a hint. I'm going to run some induction papers. ”

“Got it.”

Then you hear a knock, and the waiter brings out a hot tea and snacks. We took a cup of tea without saying a word for a moment.

“Then go back and tell Calmond. We, Mathis, have decided to push the third duke. ”

“You've finally made your decision. ”

Haven't mentioned it in the meantime, the head office was concerned about sponsoring all three. For not being able to do anything at all.

Of course, just because you chose a third accomplice, you won't suddenly stop sponsoring.

I was going to continue to support them in the name of progress in the territory. This will reduce noise when bidding on businesses. It's kind of a price. However, the direction of focus is narrowed from three to one.

I told Elona the idea.

“I thought it would be better to stick together and take advantage than to be in the middle. It may seem like a bit of a sudden decision, but I need you to agree with me. ”

“I believe in the Master's wisdom. He's wiser than anyone. ”

“Soon a third official will call you about your business. Go tie your knots well. ”

“I see. But... I'm a little surprised. ”

“What?”

Eluna cautiously asks with a smile.

“I thought the Master would like a good man. I thought you would choose the second Prince because he is also secretly affectionate. ”

“Ah, that. There are more people on the outside and on the inside than I thought. ”

“You mean that's the third Confucius? ”

I nod quietly with a cup of tea in my mouth.

After a while, we left the teahouse. Eluna has a somewhat regrettable face.

“I'll pass along what you said to Calmond. Don't worry, have a good day. ”

“Yes. Take good care of it. ”

Thanks to this, I was able to leave the royal family comfortably after leaving all my work for Eluna, Calmond and Spinel.

* * *

Until we arrived in the royal province, we were not even attacked once. As soon as Arthur gets off the horse, he starts to limp.

“Sounds like a coincidence. It's just that you fell into a strange path and got ambushed. It's natural.”

“I'm not sure yet. ”

“Why?”

“Raiding the baron's butler apprentice and attacking the baron's wife is a different matter. ”

A butler apprentice is not a person of that family. It's not hiring yet. But I've been guessing since I got back to Adeline to take the title. If they hadn't raided, the title would have had a big impact.

“Hm. Maybe so. But the best part was also a coincidence, right? ”

“I know, but if things go that easy, who will suffer? ”

“You're right. I can't argue. ”

“Make some time for dinner. ”

“What else do you want me to do? ”

“Don't you think it's safe for me to make my men stronger? I've learned a decent method of error, but I'll pass it on. ”

Now that you've successfully handed it over to Calmond, you should be able to take Arthur to the next level.

“... Are you serious? ”

“When did you see me lie? ”

As expected, Arthur was flawed. My shoulders are shaking.

The law of error is the same as that of the user. It is not something you can easily teach others.

“I've been handed the Mercianne sword, but you can't wipe your mouth like that. ”

“Don't run away. Be sure to come to the training ground tonight! ”

Arthurs, who was so confident, handed the horse over to the horseman and returned to the Knights. Neither did I, but he had to report for duty.

From the front of the mansion, the butlers celebrated my return. In particular, I was amazed to see the sword hanging from my waist.

“As a thank you, we'll have a celebration tonight. I think it would be great if everyone could attend. ”

“Lord Dylan's banquet is a must. ”

“I look forward to it! ”

We have some money from Mathis, so we should be able to hold a banquet.

More and more people started coming. At this rate, I think I'll be stuck. With a smile on my face, I quickly moved on to the next step.

I changed my mind when I tried to report back to Britain first. I'm not an apprentice anymore, so it doesn't matter what you want.

The place where my steps stopped was Sapiella's home of affection.

Young-Ae was always sitting there.

But I got up from my seat and started walking this way, whether I'd seen it in a long time or I didn't think I'd be back so soon.

Shortly after, the two of us stood face to face.

“Sir Dylan. ”

“Please, call me Dylan. I'm still your executive assistant. ”

She laughs. I take my example and stand in front of her. I was still a little taller than I was, but now I feel like my eyes are a little bit elevated.

“Nothing happened on the way back. ”

She wrote a hymn. I felt something different.

“Nothing happened. Maybe they ran too fast and they couldn't catch up. By the way, I think the lecture has started. How was class? ”

“Not bad. ”

“That's good. I'll take you to the Academy tomorrow. ”

Sapiella nods quietly.

“I'm hosting a dinner for the villagers this evening. Would you be so kind as to attend? ”

“Sure."

Sapiella replies without a second thought. You hear Arwen's voice from behind.

“Madam, if you'll excuse me, Baron Quillin is supposed to be here this evening. ”

“Tell him to come back another time. ”

“Oh, yeah…. ”
