An incident occurred in which academy teachers and students were murdered in Korea.

As the owner of the empire, he must have been quite displeased.

I slightly turned my head to examine Grans’ expression.

Even in the anger of the emperor, Grans shows a calm appearance.

I recalled the news I received from the intelligence department operated in Ardenn not long ago.

The Spy One family still continues to search for Sister Sophia.

Is it just a show?

‘If you’ve been in touch with Cravey… … He might be looking at his sister’s chances of survival.’

However, despite this, the Spey One family broke off the engagement with the Welford family.

The Welford family was almost certain of their sister’s death, so they readily accepted the breakup, but Halbert said that he found a new fiancée in a matter of days.

I’ve heard that they’re going to have a wedding right after graduating from the academy.

‘… … Well, no matter what, the bugs have been removed.’

Still, she wouldn’t be the kind of sister who would leave Halbert alone.

Right now, it’s just that he’s been put on a lower priority due to the Church’s matter. One day he too will be punished.

“Please, I hope the blessings of the goddess will be with you too.”

While thinking for a while, the conversation between the emperor and Grans seemed to have come to an end.

When Grannes got up, I followed him and left.

The family of a certain count’s family who subsequently approached the emperor.

In the Spay One family, the head of the household is Grans, as well as Celia and Phyllis, who are called hostesses. And the eldest son Ellen, the second son Delt, the eldest daughter Celine, and the second daughter Milien all attended.

Was this the first time you met Celia, Ellen, and Millien?

Celia, who was staring at my face, frowned for an instant.

‘… … what?’

As her eyes turned slightly bloody, I shook my shoulders slightly.

More than that, Phyllis’ gaze is also quite intrusive.

‘No, is it much better than over there?’

Celia and Phyllis’s gaze was at least a nobleman.

Serene glared at me as if she was going to kill me. As soon as a murder occurred from her, I turned my head and immediately tried to leave the seat.

however… … .

“Maybe it’s because that scum died, it seems like the Spey Ones are really clean. Do you think so too? Keynes.”

Serene, who was grinding her teeth, spoke in a voice as if suppressing her anger.

And at that moment, Phyllis’s face turned grim, and she glared at Serene fiercely.

It’s the same for me too.

Even if they criticized me for being incompetent, scum, and parasite, I could tolerate it up to a point. ‘Cause I’ve been used to it for a long time.

but… … I would never tolerate comments that insulted my sister.

The moment I tried to bring life to life with bitter eyes,

Damn!

Grans slapped Serene on the cheek.

Seeing that sight, I completely forgot the anger I had just a moment ago and stared blankly at Grans.

“Hey, honey?!”

Celia is also taken aback by her husband’s behavior.

No, it’s not just Celia. The situation shocked the whole family.

Serene bites her lip and yanks! I turned my head and glared at Grans.

but… … .

Startle!

She trembled at Grans’s bloody eyes and lowered her head like a frightened cat.

Scary is definitely scary.

Grans’ stern expression took a moment for me too, but my body stiffened.

“If your X hadn’t taken that stupid action, everything would have gone smoothly.”

Serene lowered her head and trembled.

And Grans, who was looking down, said in a small mutter.

“Useless.”

After saying that one word, Grans left the seat.

As he began to pull away, Serene sat down and began to shed tears.

And feeling thrilled by the sight, I turned my head and smiled, and hurriedly left the seat.

There’s no reason why you should be with them.

‘More than that… … I never thought that Grans would slap Serene.’

Serene’s actions severely damaged the image of the Spey One family.

There was even a breakup with the crown prince.

Grans hurriedly pursued the engagement with Milien before Crown Prince Regalus got engaged to someone else.

That was just a few weeks ago.

‘As a result, the engagement with Millien was not accepted.’

In this way, the blood relationship with the imperial family was completely broken.

Is it because of that?

At present, his mood was greatly subdued.

however… … In the middle of it, you burst out such stupid words. Couldn’t that woman even grasp the atmosphere? No matter how much I hate it, I wish I knew how to distinguish time and place.

food.

No, I guess I can laugh like this because I couldn’t tell them apart.

* * *

When the engagement between Milien and Crown Prince Regalus failed, Grans chose the third prince, Lyard, as his next target.

“… … Obviously, he will be alive. It is said that Her Highness Lyard had a close relationship with Sophia, so we must hurry up and find that child.”

Grans muttered as if she was sure of Sophia’s survival.

The moment he gazed at Ryard, the communication sphere in his arms began to glow.

He left the party and went straight into the empty break room.

Soon, he took out a communication tool from his chest.

The man in the black cloak reflected in the communication port.

When he posted the report, Grans’ face twisted into a grim face.

“Are they the ones from Darkness again?”

-… … There is no clear physical evidence yet, but it is speculated within the church. And the 8th research center in the Norn Territory was also attacked, and it is said that a number of test subjects have now fled.

“What the hell is Kravey doing?”

At Grans’ question, which was slightly angered, the church member flinched and lowered his head.

-… … The 3rd Apostle went to the kingdom of Wart after receiving the order of the present leader.

“Tsk… … .”

If it was the leader’s order, Grans couldn’t criticize it either.

The collaboration proposal I received from Darkness the other day. The leader of Death Parade rejected it with a single knife, and the apostles began digging into the organization called Darkness one by one according to his will.

However, how secretive it was, it was not easy to find traces left by Darkness.

Since then, Darkness has attacked the Church several times for rejecting cooperation proposals.

“With this, two bases and four laboratories have been destroyed. Are they all southern regions of the Labadian Empire?”

-… … We have increased the number of the current search party by more than 30%, but it is reported that the majority of the search party died in a mysterious attack.

“It is an organization that operates 6th Circle mages as informants. You won’t be able to compete with those who are not good enough.”

-then… … .

“Whoa, send the Accra guy.”

-yes? Ha, but Accra-sama… … .

In spite of the church member’s bewildered voice, Grans maintained a calm expression.

“Release the guy’s probation. I can’t let Darkness go on rampaging.”

-… … All right.

Episode 70

70. Emperor’s birthday party (4)

After cutting off the mana injected into the communication sphere, Granth immediately approached Ryard.

Usually, he only exchanged greetings with Ryard a few times. I hadn’t had any other conversations.

But is it because of Keynes?

“hahahahaha, I don’t know if your son is rude or not.”

Grans was able to carry on a friendly conversation with Keynes as a topic.

However, Ryard had to break out in a cold sweat at the touch of Grans.

After confirming that the SpayWon family is holding hands with the Warlock, he avoided contact with the SpayWon family as much as possible, except for Kayneth.

“hahahahaha, I sometimes do rudeness, but as a senior, I feel it like a joke from a cute junior. Of course, he has great talent that would be hard to believe for a 13-year-old. In any case, the Count will really reassure you.”

Lyard responded with a smile as much as possible.

Even as he lifted Kayneth up, he attributed the feat to Grans. Although he had no involvement in Kayneth’s growth, it was as if he had risen to the 4th circle thanks to Grans.

And at Lyard’s remarks, Grans waved her hand with a small smile.

‘… … As reported, he had a good relationship with Keynes.’

Grans put on a satisfied expression inwardly as she confirmed that the relationship between Lyard and Kayneth was not bad.

‘I need to find Sophia. If it’s impossible, then Millien and Highness Lyard… … .’

At the time Grannes and Lyard were having a conversation, Keynes had to receive attention and attention from many nobles.

After all, he was the youngest aristocrat to receive a hereditary title, and he was the third son of the Speywon family.

The aristocrats praised Keynes’ talent, and later brought up the subject of business. With eyes trying to get at least some beans from the Ardennes Company.

However, the aristocrats were greatly surprised by Kayneth’s expert management knowledge.

‘I heard that the Ardennes store was secretly established by the Spayone store… … .’

‘I heard that they are moving the Ardennes store by putting the three sons in the front… … . Could it be that Viscount Arden himself is running the business himself?’

‘Where on earth are you incompetent? … .’

‘… … The Spey One family raised a monster. I’m deliberately spreading false rumors that I’m incompetent.’

‘Come to think of it, Viscount Ardennes broke off the engagement with the eldest daughter of the Rose family… … .’

Middle-aged aristocrats with twinkling eyes.

The young ladies also made expressions of surprise at the sight of Keynes naturally conversing with them.

Then, as if judging him, he gazed at Kayneth.

“I heard that all the descendants of the Spay One family have both looks and abilities… … The story must have been true.”

“Among them, Kenneth Youngsik… … No, Viscount Ardennes is a very special person. I’ve had a few conversations in the academy’s social affairs room, and he’s learned as well as learned, but he’s really a gentleman.”

“The case of Lady Sophia was really sad. How heartbreaking it was to hear that Viscount Ardennes shed tears as he collapsed on the floor… … .”

“Iknow, right. I heard that you didn’t come out of the mansion for several days after experiencing such an incident… … . I’m really glad you woke up like that.”

A conversation that seemed to be concerned about Keynes started, and a young lady quietly intervened.

“But the other day, I saw her with Princess Crantes at the Arden clothing store.”

“Besides, just a little while ago… … Aren’t the Crantes and Spaywon families famous for their enmity?”

When the short-haired young lady tilted her head, several young ladies nodded.

“Hmm… … . Wouldn’t business relationships be a little different though? Look at that. The dress that Princess Crantes is wearing right now can be purchased at the Spey One clothing store. The last time I visited the Spey One apparel store, I saw it with my own eyes.”

“Oh, really.”

“And I heard that the ladies of other aristocratic families often use the Arden and Spayone stores as well. No matter how conflicted they are, they have no choice but to rely on each other when needed, which means that they are not unconditionally hostile even in everyday life. In fact, I heard that the Northern Allies’ attack is getting stronger. then… … Wouldn’t it be better to see that now is the time for the empire to unite?”

A dark-haired woman who wanted to defend Keynes.

Of course, her story didn’t solve all the complaints and questions, but the young ladies had to pretend to nod while observing the surroundings.

The woman who brought up the story was the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Arsé. Because it was Iris T Arse.

Few young ladies could shake their heads at her remarks about being called the next Marquis of Arsé.

No, it’s like they only brought out the right stories in reality, so shaking their heads would only hurt them.

Also, the young ladies who received the gift from Kayneth also defended him and praised his ability.

But even in the midst of that, there are people who criticize Keynes.

“Damn it, at least he is the son of a concubine… … .”

Some of the spirits cast jealous glances at Kayneth. Most of them were young children who came under the influence of Delt.

They whispered about Kayneth to their acquaintances.

When Ryard, who had finished talking with Grannes, approached Kayneth and began to have an intimate conversation, the evil spirits had to quickly turn their heads while narrowing their brows.

“… … There’s nothing good about showing dislike for His Highness Ryard.”

“that’s right. Let’s not be swayed by useless rumors. Besides, I heard that the source of this rumor is Delt Youngsik? Considering Lady Seline’s behavior the other day, I’m sure this time too… … .”

“Viscount Ardenne isn’t even aiming for the position of successor to the Speiwon family, so why are you trying to discredit your brother’s name by spreading such ridiculous rumors? Tsk tsk, I need to watch Delt Youngsik again.”

Lyard’s influence was certainly great.

Is it because of the fact that Keynes is his close friend?

While the spirits were jealous of Keynes, the rumors spread by Delt caused a backlash. And what added to the headwind was Serene’s atrocities.

Rumors spread by Delt due to the act of stealing the valuables of the 2nd Princess Lunia in order to expel Sophia had to be greatly reduced in credibility.

On the other hand, Lyard, who had no choice but to be nervous from the conversation with Grans, touched Kayneth’s shoulder while sweeping his chest.

“Hey, how about the first party you attended in your life? Are you having fun?”

At Lyard’s playful question, Kayneth smiled and nodded.

“This is probably the first time I’ve had such exclamations. Besides, the sight of so many nobles gathering in one place… … It’s definitely amazing.”

“Well, that’s right. I heard that there are over 5,000 nobles attending the party.”

Ryard speaks while looking at the dance hall in the center of the party.

Numerous noble men and women were holding hands and performing a splendid dance.

And on the outskirts, nobles spent their time talking and enjoying food.
