The Extra Refuses Excessive Obsession

Chapter 26

38 days ago. Rowe, who woke up early in the morning and looked around the castle after looking at the lord’s bed, narrowed his forehead at a sudden notice from the Carrier Pigeon.

<Diriridong, a carrier pigeon has arrived.>

What’s with the carrier pigeon that is so early in the morning? I rubbed my ears, but unfortunately, I wasn’t hallucinating.

Obviously, it was the very first alarm sound of the carrier pigeon after 150 years.

Lowe, who had grasped the situation, crumpled his face. He thought he’s doing so many things. It was only two days after he had heard a report related to “that certain human being.”

I’m too busy looking for that person, but what kind of correspondence is it? Since the peace treaty concluded 300 years ago, humans have sought the western continent if they have encountered any difficulties.

He was anxious that he would not be able to eat them someday, but thinking about it, the attitude of a human being changed like a palm flip so is their mask.

He climbed the stairs without hiding his face filled with annoyance.

“They’re probably whining about the trivial things of the king of a country, just a booger. Or I will attend a meeting where all five continents gather.”

Either way, it didn’t look fine to Lowe’s eyes.

However, Lowe, who arrived at the top of the spire, witnessed an unexpected scene.

Arriving at the magic camp was neither a letter from the Small Kingdom asking for help nor an official letter of cooperation at the continental level.

“…Cedric Duchy”?

After the peace treaty, the seal of the head of the state must be sealed in the carrier pigeon, which will be sent to the western continent. It meant that it was a document officially recognized by the country.

However, he couldn’t find anything like that right in front of it.

Instead, a white eagle was spreading its wings over the envelope.

At the bottom of it, the word “Duke of Cedric” was written in a smooth cursive form.

The envelope was not even in full swing, as if it had arrived on an official route.

Lowe, who was looking at every single edge at the letter, noticed it.

The letter that does not have the seal of the head of state, is considered unofficial.

In short, it is illegal correspondence.

“Oh, this is interesting.”

Lowe’s red eyes became lively. His long vertically enlarged pupils.

Some large craftsmen may be sending letters openly like this, but it was clear that what is contained in this is quite interesting.

Huff, Lowe, who made a nasal sound, tore the envelope with a letter opener on the side table.

Let’s see. Do you want me to help you a rebel? Or continental rulership? It would be nice if this is something that is worth waking up his sleeping lord.

Reading the letter with his rubies like red eyes, Lowe’s face was then filled with absurdity.

So, it is clear, that the letter asking for something was correct. The problem is…

“He wants me to find his sister’s memory?”

Isn’t this crazy?

Lowe pressed down the letter that popped out of him with his superhuman reason.

Even if I kept appealing to the continent that he should dominate, but this is the correspondence that he would reply to me? And what Duke’s young sister? Seriously younger sister?

I can’t believe he sent a letter to the western continent and had committed a felony for such a thing. It is clear that he is a very crazy man.

“Wait, isn’t the Duke of Cedric family from the Rohatin Empire?”

Come to think of it, I think there was such a name among the contributors to the founding of Rohatin.

From emperor to nobles, there are no sane people in that country.

Lowe trembled, recalling the day of the unlucky Emperor Rohatin, whom he encountered about 500 years ago.

This is the kind of letter that is way too useless to see. This could not wake up my sleeping master.

Lowe shrugged lightly and tore the letter apart. He thought that was it.

…until the next bright day.

“Dirirong, carrier pigeon has arrived.”>

“…..?”

The next morning, the carrier pigeon notification rang once again right on his ears, and Lowe climbed the stairs with anxiety.

And he witnessed an incredible sight. The same letter as yesterday was floating on the magic camp.

“What kind of crazy…”

Lowe tore up the letter with much strength.

However, the letter arrived the next day, overshadowing the last one. I tore it up. And it arrived once again. He then tore it up again. It arrived once again. This time, he gave it to a bird that was torn into small pieces.

After doing that for about 10 days, he sent a magic messenger after all this time. He didn’t know what kind of crazy guy he was, but he had a lot of money. He even put defensive magic on the envelope in the middle.

“Do they have enough money left?”

He wanted to turn on the loudspeaker and tell them to find a name if they would rather hire such wizard manpower for money.

There is no way an ordinary nobleman would have had a wizard on his own, so he would have been doing nothing at all.

From then on, Lowe gave up tearing up the letters and began to pile them up in the corner.

It’s been exactly 38 days since today. Lowe wanted to get out of this hellish place along with this letter.

“Should I just smash the emperor of Rohatin?”

Lowe, who was recalling the past, muttered nervously.

There is nothing he couldn’t do. The environment of the western continent is not lively, but there is no other solution that is much faster than that. Of course, it would be best to go and exterminate the Duke in person, but if he breaks the peace treaty in his own will, his Lord will be furious. Above all, just collecting and sending letters without an imperial seal…

“Wait a minute.”

Suddenly, Lowe narrowed his forehead.

“Come to think of it, today’s envelope was a little different from before.”

A cold sensation climbed up to his neck.

Lowe came to his senses and quickly approached the pile of letters in the corner. Then he picked up the letter today, which he had thrown away.

The unending seal of the Cedric family stuck in the middle remained.

The problem was the back page. In the empty part that had nothing, a madly colorful seal was stamped with two lions competing with their strength.

It was the same even if I rubbed my eyes hard. The seal of that good for nothing Emperor of Rohatin was right there.

“……”

“……”

He really is out of his mind. Did he get approval from the emperor now? After sending illegal correspondence every single day?

Did the emperor really allow this ridiculous letter to be sent?

Lowe, who was staring down at the envelope blankly, pointed at his forehead and smiled despondently.

“Haha, this crazy ba$t@rd$.”

Head butler of Gray Castle, and senior aide Lowe, who had received blood from the ‘Carlisse’.

After about a thousand years, his lifelong rule had updated.

Don’t get involved with the freaking Rohatin.

***

“Magician messenger?”

“The second master told me that it arrived safely. You don’t have to worry about it because he sent it along with the official seal of His Majesty.”

“That’s great.”

Bastian smiled satisfactorily at Huon’s report.

Until now, in order to avoid the eyes of the emperor, the magic messenger had to apply disturbing magic to hinder pursuing him and protection magic to prevent it from being damaged, but now that the emperor’s permission has been officially granted, the delivery has become much easier.

Of course, it was none of Bastian’s business because the other day’s hard work was all up to Leonhardt.

“What is Amelia doing?”

“She is taking a rest after returning from the Royal Castle.”

“Okay…”

Bastian’s face, which had a smile just now, had a pale shade on his visage.

“Are you worried?”

Huon, who quickly noticed it, asked.

“The emperor said he wanted to establish Amelia as  the Domina for this founding festival.”

Huon’s face hardened at the calm response of his master.

“Isn’t this year the debutante for her?”

“Yeah, that why I am determined.”

Of course, a lot of attention was given to the Young Lady and the Young Lords, who had to make their debut in society this year. As rumors circulated that the more honorable the family and the more outstanding their appearance, the expectation literally hit the sky.

That’s because, in fact, society was like a place to find the appropriate spouse for their family.

“Domina…”

Bastian stretched out his beautiful fingers and intermittently tapped the wooden desk.

Amelia is receiving enough attention just for the fact that she is the youngest of Duchy of Cedric.

It is also true that words are circulating among the nobles who had already heard that she had returned to the capital.

Above all, the National Foundation Festival is the largest event in the empire, which is taking up for a full five days that had opening ceremony all the way to the closing ceremony.

“The debutantes aren’t that happy either…”

In this situation, the emperor’s entrustment of Domina’s position along with his debutant meant that he would make Amelia the center of the topic.

Bastian, who thought that much, narrowed his fine forehead.

“He is like a sly snake.”

Come to think of it, Ellion is always like that. He wanted to play a trick on Bastian in a different way, who felt melancholic for his youngest sister.

Initially, it was expected that the match for the empress would be in the same context.

The problem was Bastian himself, who fell for such obvious provocations.

“…Phew.”

Bastian touched his forehead with a tired look on his face.

“…….”

In fact, he is not so obsessed with Amelia from the very beginning.

When the previous duchess was alive and Amelia was smaller than she is now, Bastian is not indifferent but more cold-blooded. For young Bastian, Amelia was…

The daughter of her parents, who were born with the same hair color as his, just that much.

“Bastian, it’s your youngest sister. Isn’t she cute?”

“I don’t know.”

“Why should I adore this child?”

“Because… she’s younger than you are.”

A month after Amelia was born, Bastian shrugged indifferently when he saw his sister wrapped in a cloth.

At that moment, he remembered his parents’ shocked faces.

However, it is natural for Bastian, since he had been twisted somewhere since birth.

Unlike Bastian, who chose the sword at the age of three, and Leonhardt, who stood out in magic since childhood, Amelia had no exceptions.

Bastian is bored of such Amelia. No, his expression that doesn’t put too much interest in her was right.

All human values are determined only by ability.

He is the only eight-year-old child that looked at the world just like that.

However, when ‘it’ happened around Amelia’s age of 10 changed the world of Bastian.

…

Bastian closed his eyelids. The convenience of fragmentary memories passed by in the deepest dark.

“Master?”

“Are you okay?”

Bastian, who was lost in contemplation, slowly opened his eyes.

On his opposite side, Huon was looking at him worriedly.

Bastian breathed lightly and nodded as if it was nothing. Yeah, this isn’t something he should think about right now he thought.

He came to his senses and fixed his posture.

“How many families do you think will attend the founding festival, Huon?”

“If there’s no big difference from last year, it’s probably about a hundred. But this time, His Majesty’s empress battle had overlapped, so probably there will be a lot more who will than last years.”

“That’s for sure.”

That means that there are more eyes on Amelia than usual.

Some nobles may already be eyeing Amelia as their child’s spouse.

In addition, at least dozens of dumbbells would fall short of falling in love with Amelia at first sight.

His blood cooled down at the thought of the proposal that would flood in right after the Country’s Foundation Day.

He thought he can’t let things he don’t even know the people who would covet his lovely Amel.

“I need to do some research”.

“Please say it.”

Bastian smiled politely.

“I want you to pull out all the family lists and profiles of unmarried aristocrats attending the Founding Festival.”

If he couldn’t stop the debutante, he could handle all the fish flyers that would stick to her.
