According to the etiquette, he said hello, but his sister didn’t want the brothers to treat each other with respect.

That’s why they always say to be polite, but today they were giving bruises for being late.

It’s late to report Kizan’s tutoring at this time every day, and there’s nothing to do, but to catch the pod like this… .

Andrew apologized first.

“Sorry to keep you waiting, Your Highness. From now on, I will be sure to be on time.”

“It happened. The reason I called you today is to ask you some questions about Kizan’s private tutor.”

“What are you curious about?”

“I heard that you invited him because he is close to you and is a skilled wizard. I haven’t heard how they became friends.”

“… Yes?”

Andrew was perplexed.

You’re not a little kid, so you have to report something like that?

However, the queen looked at him as if to hurry up and answer.

“Uh, uh… I just happened to know him while having a drink. However, the skills are good and the personality is good… .”

“So you mean you introduced someone you didn’t even know properly as Kizan’s teacher?”

“That, that… .”

“Because you say it confidently, I entrusted Kizan’s education. Since he’s an uncle and our age isn’t too different, I thought we could get along better. But you disappoint me like this.”

Queen Elena 1 clicked her tongue.

“It happened. If you don’t know, I’ll have to find out who the wizard is myself.”

“… … !”

Andrew’s eyes twinkled with bewilderment.

A look like it would never happen.

“Oh no, wait a minute, sister. Majesty. It’s not… .”

Seeing that, Queen Elena’s eyes shook slightly.

‘I can’t believe this kid… .’

Seeing her bewildered like this meant that at least she knew that the tutor was not normal.

In other words, as Leo said, it meant that he joined hands with the warlock.

It was quite shocking.

To think that the younger brother, who was raised with overflowing affection with his brother, the head of the family, would do something like this.

If it wasn’t for her who was called the Queen of Blood and Blood, she might have collapsed right here.

However, she managed her expression as much as possible.

He decided that this was not something that would end by shouting at himself.

If he didn’t care, his younger brother’s mistake could affect the entire marquis family and even the capital.

“Me, Your Highness. hahahaha. In fact, there is a social gathering that I attend, and some of the nobles there have also chatted with and acknowledged it as a high-level wizard… .”

“Let’s talk about it later. Get out and see.”

To him who was trying to make an excuse somehow, Queen Elena 1 waved her hand and issued a congratulatory order.

* * *

Andrew somehow stayed and tried to explain the situation to her, but it didn’t work.

Eventually, with his shoulders drooping, he left the First Queen’s Palace.

“Sigh… .”

After he left, Queen Elena 1 sighed.

At that moment, Leo, who had been hiding in a corner of the room, sneaked out.

“Why are you sighing like that?”

Leo asked.

She looked emaciated quickly after this brief encounter.

“Leo, it seems that your guess is correct. Andrew, it looks like he’s up to something.”

“Yes. I think so too.”

Leo nodded.

I didn’t specifically ask about the Warlock, but I could tell from Andrew’s reaction.

‘And I don’t think Queen Elena is involved.’

If it had been, I wouldn’t have reacted like this.

It could be that he was deceiving Leo because of his great acting skills, but at first it didn’t seem like that.

If that was the case, I wouldn’t have been so upset.

“But Andrew’s reaction just now seemed strange.”

“what?”

“You must have already known that the tutor, Doodle, is a warlock. But it’s strange that Her Highness couldn’t even give a proper answer to the question of her identity. Normally, I would have made up an excuse just in case.”

It’s a black magician thing.

Unless you’re an idiot, you should have prepared yourself in various ways, such as thoroughly manipulating the past.

However, the queen was so taken aback when she said that she wanted to find out who he was.

To Leo’s question, the queen gave a simple answer.

“It wouldn’t have been necessary. Since before, I believed in everything that child was doing.”

Queen Elena 1 continued to have a dark expression.

“Andrew has been buried with an inferiority complex toward me and my brother since the old days. So, to build up his confidence, I believed in everything he did and told him it was amazing.”

“So you didn’t care this time either?”

“yes. The child showed enthusiasm for educating Kizan, so I was delighted and trusted him. I didn’t think much about the tutor. I confirmed that he was actually a 4th-class wizard, so I didn’t think to dig further.”

To be honest, I didn’t think it was that important.

Kizan’s daily schedule is extremely busy.

From early morning to late evening, all kinds of education were tightly packed.

After all, tutoring was a part of it, so I wouldn’t have cared too much about it.

“Let’s just wait.”

Leo shrugged.

Just now, Leo wasn’t just listening to the conversation.

‘Because I put one of my magical power particles on my body. I’ll know if something happens.’

Tachogyeongsa (打草驚蛇).

It means to hit the grass to frighten the snake, and having poked it like this once, it was time to see how Andrew would react.

* * *

After deciding to wait and see what happened to Andrew Legret, Leo looked at Queen Elena.

At this point, there was one more issue that needed to be addressed.

“mother. This is not about warlocks, but I have something else to tell you.”

“… tell me.”

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Queen Elena put her head slightly tired, but she didn’t stop Leo.

“It’s about Kizan-nii.”

“Kizan?”

“Yes. These days, I’m going to private tutoring with Kizan-hyung, so I’m a bit of a good fit. Every time I see it, it looks really hard.”

“… … .”

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Queen Elena’s expression hardened.

Leo said without hesitation.

“Kizan hyung-nim is at an age where he has to play in full swing. However, I am forced to study every day, which I do not want to do. Even hearing that my mother pressured me every day to beat the other siblings and become the crown prince.”

To Leo, Queen Elena was a typical Korean mother.

Why, isn’t there a famous drama that advocates academic racism?

It was like a parent who would come to such a place.

“Brother Kizan has the right to live and do what he likes. Wouldn’t your mother live your life for you instead?”

Of course, that wasn’t what Leo, who was two years younger, would say, but anyway.

“Will my older brother, who has grown up like this now, be happy later? Even if he becomes a king, he may become a tyrant.”

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Queen Elena bit her lip.

“It is up to me to decide how to raise that child. It’s none of your business.”

“It is. But that’s because I’m worried. Then, what will you do if your older brother becomes like Andrew?”

“… … .”

The queen’s eyes twitched.

Leo had this reason for bringing up these words just now.

Having learned that Andrew had a connection with the Warlock, he used this fact to shock her.

She raised her lacking younger brother too much.

So, it would be fortunate if he grew up well, but isn’t he already putting his hand in a bad place?

Now that I’ve discovered it, that’s about it, but it must have ruined the family later.

Being the clever Queen Elena, she was able to guess such a future.

That’s why she couldn’t push her own will despite Leo’s instructions.

‘I have to take a step back at this point.’

“If so, try talking to Kizan-nii.”

“Conversation?”

“Yes. Do you know what Kizan older brother likes or is interested in?”

“… … .”

I do not know.

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Queen Elena knew what kind of education Kizan had received because he moved according to schedule, but she had never paid attention to what interest he had shown.

Leo nodded as if he knew everything.

“You wouldn’t know. I could have placed an attendant next to my older brother and managed it all day long, but he wouldn’t have been interested in that.”

It was the fact that Patrick, Kizan’s attendant, had told him.

He said that he had to be loyal to the queen in order to be in the royal castle without a proper family.

“And they said that the attendants who didn’t speak up were dealt with at all.”

“Where else did you hear that?”

“It’s a secret.”

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Queen Elena shook her head.

“I don’t know what you’ve been told, but that’s not true.”

“… No?”

what?

I heard it clearly with these two ears.

It is said that the attendants and maids who were there before Patrick himself took over Kizan disappeared after retirement.

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Queen Elena looked at Leo.

“Looks like you know roughly what happened. To tell you the truth, the servants who were previously in charge of Kizan allowed them to settle in any territory outside the capital. It was because I was afraid that if I ran into Kizan by chance while in the capital, that child’s heart would be shaken. I talked to the lords of that side and gave them support money, so there shouldn’t be any problems with settling down.”

“… Oh, I see.”

Leo awkwardly scratched the back of his head.

Hearing Patrick’s words, he almost accused him of being a murderer, but this was a big mistake.

I thought he killed her because he didn’t have enough information to figure out her image as the iron-blooded queen and the circumstances of the former attendants that Patrick had gone that far.

“Anyway, Leo, I know what you mean.”

“Thank you for listening to me when I crossed the line, Mother. So please, have a conversation with Kizan-nim-nim at least once.”

‘Don’t think about ruining my future wizard companion.’

Leo was muttering behind his back.

The western gate of the capital of the Kingdom of Rome.

To enter the capital, you must pass through a checkpoint.

Because it is a place with a lot of floating population, a long line was stretched in front of the gate today.

“next. Please give me your ID.”

“Here it is.”

The soldier looked at his ID card and looked at the robed man in front of him.

“Hmm. You’re from the Duchy of Lyont. Are you a traveler?”

“hahahaha. That’s right. I have an acquaintance who lives in the capital city, so I came to see him after a long time.”

“okay. I hope you will share a happy ending.”

“thank you.”

There wasn’t anything suspicious about it.

The ID was fine and the appearance was not bad.

“Pass!”

Rob’s man passed through the checkpoint and came inside.

At first glance, he seemed like an ordinary traveler.

Wealthy people rode carriages, but most wore robes as standard.

If you need to, you can lay down on the floor and sleep.

But… , his identity was never a normal person.

Anyone who knows will be surprised.

“Whoops. I don’t know if my lower class will be happy to see me.”

The man looked in the direction where the king was.

A 6th class black magician and one of the dark magic schools, the tower leader who leads ‘Medis’.

It was the moment Logan, the owner of the Black Tower, appeared in the capital.
