How the Shadow of the Marquis Lives

Episode 80

“Hey, you! What is this!”

Looking at the place where the commotion started, two men and a woman were in the center.

It was the male student who screamed.

A man wearing a white mask studded with jewels and a white suit as well.

However, the front island was stained with purple liquid.

When I did something, I saw an empty wine glass in the hand of a female student in front of me.

“Aren’t you saying you’re sorry?”

“Sorry, everything! How are you going to take responsibility? A custom-made suit for today that took two months to make!”

The female student narrowed her eyes.

He was a very tall student with red hair tied back up to the nape of his neck.

She was wearing a strange mask that revealed only one eye, which was covered with burn scars.

“ha. What a raucous guy. Yes, what kind of things do you do, but is it so noisy?”

As she sighed, the male student raised his chin with his eyes shining, as if he thought he had won.

“Four hundred gold coins.”

“Four hundred?”

“okay. Now do you know what you’ve done?”

“joy. It’s a lie. There is no way that a person who sells clothes like that costs 400 gold coins. As long as it’s not a sprained eye.”

“what!?”

The boy’s voice jumped up again at the girl’s outspoken tone.

Meanwhile, Xian now realizes where he heard this voice.

‘It’s the guy who ran into the Great Hill.’

Levi Erman.

It was the same beast who gathered people from the Great Hill and attacked her and Erze.

At that time, I thought I had a big nose injury, but I guess people don’t change that much.

Not wanting to get involved, Xian beckoned to one of the attendants nearby.

“Anything you need… … .”

“The person over there seems to be in trouble because his clothes are stained. Take him and clean him up.”

Xian handed him two silver coins and said.

The attendant received it and his eyes lit up.

I had to do something about that commotion, but it was a situation where it was difficult to intervene recklessly as a servant.

Since Xian, the same student, asked for it, a cause was created, and he even received a tip separately, so it couldn’t have been better.

He cautiously approached Levi.

“I… … The student over there sent it. Are you having any trouble?”

“shut up!”

“Oops!”

However, Li Wei frowned and kicked the attendant who approached politely.

There was no way the attendant could withstand the kicks of the trained beastman. The attendant dropped the tray and fell face down.

As a result of this incident, the surrounding air became even cooler.

Until then, the students who had been watching for fun began to frown and whisper.

Liu himself flinched for a moment as if he felt sorry for the moment.

He never backed down, but instead became more aggressive.

“Either make up for it right now. Or you wipe it.”

“what?”

“Yeah, this is fine. No man would have accepted fawning with that hideous face, so why don’t you try it this time?”

He giggled, pointing at the burn scars not covered by the mask.

It was an overstepping remark that made the people around him frown, but the female student just let out a low sigh.

“I don’t want to make a fuss anymore, so I’ll settle for a clean payment.”

She took four platinum coins from her bosom and threw them. It was a valuable item worth 100 gold coins.

Liu hesitated for a moment at the sight of a female student casually taking out a platinum coin from her bosom. Could it be that he has a higher status than I thought?

However, he raised his eyebrows as he saw the flying platinum flowers.

After all, he was from Jakarta, not Somemer, so there would be no problem.

“Sheesh. It will be sooner rather than later.”

Liu is happy and happy while snatching the platinum coin.

The female student talked while looking at the guy who was intoxicated with the idea that he had won.

“Since you paid for it, are you saying that now I can do whatever I want with the clothes?”

“what?”

Liu narrowed his eyes at the incomprehensible sound.

right after that.

Just-

Wow!

Flames exploded from Levi’s body.

The flames that covered his entire body instantly turned Levi’s clothes to ashes.

It was a flame that burned only him, not spreading to other places, not even burning a single hair on the carpet on the floor.

“Quaaagh!”

“Kyaaak!”

“What, what!?”

Levi screams and the onlookers around him.

After a while, when the flames faded, what we saw was Levi, who was naked and passed out, wearing only the burnt underwear.

Foaming at the mouth was oddly familiar.

“joy. I’m messing around.”

The female student murmured contentedly and then blew out the flames in her palm.

The guards who had been alerted to the sudden burst of flames rushed to the scene.

Seeing that, Xian ran away from the spot without regret.

‘It’s a crazy woman.’

Exploding flame magic at a ball, no matter how confident he was in controlling it, was an act he should not have done.

Think differently.

If a knight attending a ball draws out his sword and swings it, saying, ‘It doesn’t matter, I’ll adjust it so you don’t get cut!’

「Hwiyu~ Isn’t it hot?」

“It’s not that I’m hot, it’s that I’m out of my mind.”

「How are you? You shouldn’t have just sent an attendant in the dark, but you should have jumped in and saved it yourself.”

“Now is not the time for that.”

After Xian walked away from the scene of the commotion, he received another glass of champagne from the attendant.

Not only did he not like a knight of justice who would save a lady, but his head hurt just from having an anticipated conversation with the princess he would soon meet.

“Anyway, let’s say I had an interesting sighting. Let’s go to Allen.”

“That’s what I mean. It’s going to be hard right now. I just lost time watching the commotion.”

“why? Did you have an appointment?”

“uh. So you should go too.”

“I can’t help it~”

Altima came out of Xian’s front pocket and jumped on his shoulder.

Then, when he spread his wings to head for Allen.

“Here you are.”

Altima was startled by the sudden voice and hid in Xian’s front pocket again.

Xian blinked his eyes at the woman who came to him.

A tall woman with red hair tied up to the nape of her neck and a burn scar over one eye.

It was the woman I had seen before.

“Are you the one who sent the attendant?”

Xian is also quite tall, but she was almost as tall as Xian.

They made eye contact in the air and spoke in a voice that made her laugh. I don’t know if he’s really smiling because he’s wearing a mask.

“Yeah… … .”

Xian frowned and replied.

He must have seen the guards running, but did he run away quickly and follow him?

“thanks. He is a man who knows how to be considerate.”

“Did you come to me to say that?”

“okay. It’s because we’ve been taught since ancient times that silver and won must be properly organized.”

That’s right… … I was well home educated.

“What is your name? I don’t think I’ve seen any of the first graders, are you a senior?”

“I’m sorry, but I can’t give you a name. Otherwise, isn’t there any point in wearing a mask?”

she said, pointing to the mask.

It’s called a masquerade, but it’s at a level that people who know each other can easily recognize, so why hide it?

As if she wanted to claim her own mysticism, she did not introduce herself after all.

‘Looking at the way he speaks, he seems to be a high-ranking nobleman.’

And the considerable level of fire magic I just saw.

Among the seniors, there was someone with a high status and considerable knowledge of fire magic… … .

I didn’t know the seniors well, but I still checked the strong seniors I wanted to join someday.

However, there was no person who came to mind with a pat.

“Now that I’ve finished saying thanks, let’s go. I have work. We’ll see if our destinies intertwine someday.”

“… … ? Oh yeah.”

She smiled and left without saying that.

Turning around and waving his hand was a pretty showy look. Do I have to hold the form?

Then, suddenly, a thought crossed Xian’s mind.

‘No, no way… … .’

However, he immediately denied that assumption.

It’s not like there’s just one or two flame mages, so there can’t be such a wonderful coincidence.

But after a while.

“Sian, welcome! Princess, this is the younger brother whom I said I cherished so much.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

At the table where Damian was sitting in the middle, Xian and Princess Helene took off their masks and faced each other.

It was the first time I had seen her bare face, but I could tell just by looking at her clothes.

“Your fate is intertwined, Princess.”

“Do not say!”

When Xian spoke casually, Helene blushed and banged! I got up and hit the desk.

To be able to separate like that and meet again right away… … .

“?”

In the middle, only Damian, who didn’t know anything, tilted his head.

* * *

“Hoo. Something interesting happened while I was gone.”

“It wasn’t particularly fun.”

“You’re being so arrogant on the subject of being a beast. If it were me, I would have broken my limbs and sent them off.”

Damian said with a twinkle in his eyes.

It was clear that he wasn’t talking bluffly in front of his fiancee, but that he was sincere.

He is still a guy who hates other races.

“Sian Agrid… … Yes, you are the son of Marquis Agrid.”

“It is an honor to meet you.”

“You don’t have to be so polite. Yes, if Damien is the elder brother, then I am not the sister-in-law. How about calling you brother-in-law?”

“It’s an embarrassing word, but it’s not possible.”

Seeing Xian’s sudden refusal, Helene smiled.

After taking off the mask, the inner face was smooth skin without a single blemish, let alone a scar.

The only thing with a burn scar is the part of one eye that was not covered.

Why did he bother to cover up the clean parts and only expose the scarred parts… … .

“Well, now that the introduction is over, let’s quickly get to the main topic. Maybe you’ll notice too.”

Xian tightened his stomach.

There is only one reason for her to find herself.

If Helene was a mediocre royal family far behind in the succession order, or a scarecrow royal family with no power, there would have been other possibilities.

I came to play because I was interested in having a prom, or I came to see my fiancé’s face after a long time.

However, there was no way that the 3rd princess, the most influential person in the imperial family, would be here for such a lame reason.

Her goal is to contact the Agrid family through herself.

The goal must be to enlist Marquis Agrid, who is maintaining neutrality, into his camp.

‘Which card did you bring?’

In order to subjugate the family head, a suitable price must be paid.

Immediately after hearing the news of the third princess’ visit from Damian, he speculated on the conditions Helene could offer to the Agrid family.

What she could promise the family head, why didn’t she say it directly and tried to communicate it through herself?

Soon, the story came out of Helen’s mouth.

“Because I thought you would know. Didn’t my fiancé fall back into girly stuff while I wasn’t looking?”

“Princess! What are you talking about!”

At first glance, it seemed to have nothing to do with Agrid.

“Since you have enough criminal records, it is inevitable that I am suspicious. As you know, you should keep in mind that even a single scandal can lead to a breakup. My brother never misses such a gap.”

“I have discernment too! Since we got engaged, I’ve given up on any of that!”

“really?”

Helen narrows her eyes and Damian breaks into a cold sweat and makes excuses for her.

Only the status of the princess and the duke’s son is unique, but it looks like an ordinary married couple fighting everywhere.

“… … .”

However, Xian’s expression hardened even more.

It was the worst of the many hypotheses that were assumed.
