Marquis' Express Butler

I heard a voice telling me to come in. I was wondering why I couldn't see the knight guarding the perimeter, but he was talking to his accomplice inside.

The guardian knight's name is Paramella. I had seen him before. He looked at me once with his pathetic eyes. I put up a curtsey.

“This is Dylan, who will be in your audience for a week from today. Even if it's not enough, please take good care of it. ”

“Shouldn't there be no shortage? It's like you're watching me. I can't believe you said that already. We won't last a day, let alone a week. ”

That's not what Sir Paramella said. Afterwards, the words of Confucius Hamel, who was sitting at the table, said. He grins and twists his legs.

I was rethinking the behavior of the third year of the reign that would come out of novels or dramas. It's the same everywhere people live.

Confucius Hamel was a typical wannabe who liked booze and women. He was a person who could be published in the textbook because of his personality.

But there was one unexpected fact.

The Prince's residence was understated. I thought it would be decorated with gold up to the ruined toilet, but there was no surprising flash.

Rather, I felt that only what was needed was placed in the right place.

I asked him with such questions behind my back.

“What can I do? ”

“You have no idea. You're just a family servant. All you have to do is stay put and do what you're told. ”

The ambient Confucius Hamel looked down at me with fierce eyes. He sits in a chair, wrapped around a bandage as if to look at one leg. And he had a cane for crutches.

“Is there anything else you'd like to discuss before you go on mission? ”

I can feel what it's like. Watching him bend his bandaged leg.

“You got me into this mess. It's absurd. How dare you lay a hand on me like that? Do you have anything to say after seeing this? ”

At my heart, I wanted to take him to the room of truth right away, but there was a guardian knight beside me, and there was something that Sapiella asked me to say, so I fell down quietly.

“I have committed a mortal sin. Forgive me."

“I know you're wrong. I thought you guys were supposed to be, but your head's still working, huh? Yeah, well. Sometimes people make mistakes in life. ”

What is it? The atmosphere suddenly became strange.

If I know the Confederate Hammer, I should grab a bag and torture him or punish him, but I'm simply admitting it and moving on.

I lifted my head as I did not win the question.

At that moment, I met Confucius Hamel. He gestures to get up, wriggling his hands.

I got up from my seat as he instructed.

At the same time, the expression of Confucius Hamel became serious. That fucked-up look disappeared everywhere. And one word shot like thunder.

“Who are you? ”

“I... I don't know what you mean. ”

Siegek laughs as he wakes up from the top. And he walked in front of me with a stumbling step.

“I've never seen a man with the guts and the head to step on my feet intentionally, ditching a Cornell trainer, saving my brother's life. A Portuguese commoner. It's not something an apprentice who grew up under an ordinary parent can do. ”

I was close enough to reach my breath. His eyes widen.

“Am I wrong? I guess you're right because you can't answer anything. Who are you?”

It was like someone else. The look of the wretch disappears, and like a well-forged spear, a man like a beast raises his gaze in front of him.

Is this Heck?

“Hahaha! What a look. Apprentice, do I look like I'm screwed? Yes! I'm fucking irredeemable. If you've ever, ever seen anything different about me, you should just quietly move on. To live a long life. ”

He tapped my shoulder.

Something unexpected happened at that moment. His status window, which he knew he would not see, began to be printed.

○ Hamel de Adeline

Rank:

Level: 31

Characteristics: Smoke A, Slash A, Tactical A, Scheme A, Intuition B, Bold B,???

Status: Abyssal Curiosity

[not open]

……

Is this a true story? A five-star acting genius was right in front of me.

I could tell by the nature. A rank of smoke. You did this on purpose, didn't you?

Everything so far has come to that conclusion. You can't be this smart without it.

It's a highly political ruse.

The opposing Pokémon is careless when they do a wretched thing. It's because I'm worried about what kind of accident I'll get in this time. Then we will be able to plot something else while doing destructive things.

In fact, there have been a few such kings in history. People who pretended to be fools so they wouldn't get purged.

The Marquis of Adeline is a prestige of the realm.

Various powers are colliding because of its deep heritage, and it may even be a bloodbath due to succession issues right now.

I chose Sapiella in a place like this jungle because I am relatively free of succession issues. She's a woman.

The more puzzles you solve, the more open your head becomes.

I had a hunch that this might be another opportunity for me, not a crisis.

“I am humble and foolish, and I know nothing. Duke, don't worry too much. ”

“More suspicious? ”

“What makes you so suspicious? ”

“Real fools don't tell you you're stupid. True ignorance is about forgetting your ignorance. Smart people know I'm ignorant. Isn't there a famous saying to get to know yourself? ”

In a somewhat philosophical way, I thought his education was unusual. Perhaps there were categories like knowledge in the attributes hidden by question marks.

Maybe that's what you'll see when you make more progress with him.

First, I waited for his word in silence.

“There's one thing I need to do first, since I'm going to be in the audience. It's kind of like a rite of passage. ”

“Lower your voice.”

“You're not afraid. ”

“I was taught to enjoy the inevitable. ”

“Hahaha, great! There's a great internship in the Adeline family. Knights, butlers or harsh apprentices do not receive an official letter. You know that, don't you? ”

“Yes, Confucius. ”

“Since I have chosen you as my apprentice butler representative, you see apprentice knights and battles. ”

I was surprised. I never thought I'd make an offer like this.

It's normal not to be able to. The strength of the knight and the butler differ in dimensions. They're combat personnel, and we're administrative.

Even though the butlers have practiced martial arts since the Apprenticeship, they are nothing compared to the knights in their robbery or difficulty.

“What's wrong with your face? Are you scared?”

“Duke, I'm just an ordinary butler apprentice. How can I face an apprentice knight? ”

“I told you, it's a rite of passage. You don't deserve to work for me if you don't do this job. Even if it's just for a week. ”

It feels cheap.

Somehow I don't think the Confucius called me here to harass me. The hint is the word 'Abyssal Curiosity’ in his status window.

What is an Abyss? It means a deep cavern that is hard to break out. Looks like you fell in love with a guy named Dylan.

Maybe he was attracted to me. To make you your own paw.

My recent behavior is reassuring enough. As it came out of his mouth, I dug out Cornell's trainer on a daring march, and rescued Sapiella's infancy with excellent martial arts and judgment. Then he started to argue by stepping on the foot of the Royal Family, Hamel.

If he were an extraordinary genius, he would have embraced all of this.

The moment you asked me what I was, that was proof.

“Very well. When is your deadline?" ”

“Tonight. Right now.”

“Is the Confucius hand-picking the opponent? ”

“Don't worry, Knight Leader Lord Barian will choose for you. You could end up with an arm cut off. ”

When I looked at what that meant, the Confucius smiled and kindly explained.

“Horses fight, but they use swords. The principle is to do so until the opponent is incapacitated. So even if your arm or leg were cut off, it wouldn't be weird, right? ”

“… I will follow orders. ”

“I see you're not afraid. You'd better not hide too much. Life expectancy is that shorter when you buy more doubts. ”

He shakes his hand and tells you to back off. I bowed my head and retreated from the palace.

Meanwhile, my mind was filled with only one thought.

“Who will stand against me? ”

I don't know the details about the Apprentice Knight. But I also know that they pass rigorous admission tests and enter as apprentices.

It will be a different dimension than Veron had dealt with in fitness training.

I didn't even use a weapon in the first place. Weapons are not meant to be. A tool designed to defeat more effective and deadly enemies.

Then the combat level will be doubled, no, ten times higher.

“I'm confident if I don't get him out. ”

The only one I cared about was Arthurs. Intimidation emanates from the name. Not only did he feel like he was going to freeze everything, he was already a four-star talent, reaching level 42.

Swordsmanship is a class A, and it can be quite tricky to deal with since it also has a breakthrough and iron wall characteristics. If it's squeaky, I could lose.

If I'd known this, I'd have fought my way through time.

“Dylan.”

I was walking down the hall, and someone called me.

Turning around and looking at him, it was Lord Paramella. He still looks pathetic. I've been thinking about it for a long time, but it seems like I often look like a knight. Do I have to say I don't have the strength?

“You wanted to see me?”

“Come with me for a moment. ”

I followed him without a word. He walked into an unpopular corridor and led me into an empty room.

We stood face to face. It was he who opened his mouth first.

“I'm sorry this happened. ”

“No, it's my fault. Thank you for your attention. ”

“Let me ask you one question. Was it really an accident to step on the Prince's foot? ”

The question's intentions were unclear, but I recited Sapiella's advice exactly.

“Of course, but I don't think it's unfair. It was all my fault. ”

Lord Paramella nodded his head and glanced at me with glowing eyes.

“You'll probably get doughed up today. Just like the apprentice who has been called by the Prince so far. ”

“I don't think you brought me all the way here to tell me to enjoy the day. ”

“That's sharp. I'll show you how to avoid this crisis. ”
