Marquis' Express Butler

Misunderstandings are best solved. I know that spirituality trusts us, but everything starts with a little misunderstanding.

“We were talking about cooking. Arwen said she was a good maid, so I figured it was because of you. You have a faithful servant. ”

“Really?"

“This is all a girl's blessing. ”

Sapiella's expression relaxes. Oh, my God. I feel like the spectrum of expressions is a little wider these days. She used to be an ice princess.

I asked.

“What do you think, miss? ”

“What?”

“Arwen being a chef. I think I'm more talented at cooking. ”

“Arwen's cooking is delicious. ”

Sapiella makes a generous assessment without hesitation. Arwen smiles and lowers her head in humility.

“But I think maid work is more appropriate. ”

“If you do.”

“Don't leave my side. ”

Sapiella coldly threw a word past us and sat on a wide couch where she could sit alone.

Arwen quickly approaches.

“Would you like to pull over? ”

Sapiella nods. Since it's time for breakfast, it's her breakfast to have a cup of tea for dessert.

I'm a little further away, waiting for Sapiella's orders.

Arwen, a dedicated servant, is responsible for getting up close and personal. Even though I was close to infancy, I kept my distance.

While Arwen was out getting the car ready, I broke the silence and told the spiritual one. It's time to move.

“Madam, may I see Prince Hamel for a moment? ”

“What about my brother? ”

Sapiella narrows her eyes. It was the same as going into the tiger's den on my own feet, so I deserved that reaction.

But that's a layman's position, and I'm getting special treatment. Confucius Hamel is constantly sending me love calls. It is in a position to harness his power.

Moreover, he has a special right to negotiate with me because he has left me to do the work of spirituality.

“I have work to do. ”

“It was dangerous. ”

“Nothing in the world is not dangerous. ”

I thought it might be a good idea to tell her some facts. Wouldn't it be nice to know that Confucius Hamel is actually taking care of her?

“Confucius Hamel doesn't want you to go to Astria. ”

“What does that mean? ”

“No marriage. ”

Sapiella tilts her head slightly in surprise. She looks at me with suspicious eyes.

“Why?”

“You know that better, don't you? Of course, it's something you don't want. The Prince wants you to be happy. ”

Sapiella shuts her mouth. It was a long time after she opened her mouth, a moment of silence.

“Helping Hamel's brother, even though it's dangerous, means you don't want me to go to Astria. ”

“That's right.”

“Why?”

“I want you to be happy, too. ”

The spring wind blew gently through the window frame. Sapiella's jewel-like blue hair is dazzling. Soon, the wind blows my hair away.

It feels like time has stopped.

But I strangely disconnected the spring wind that followed her.

“It's natural to want the happiness of those who serve you as a servant. Miss."

“Yes."

Sapiella shifts her gaze to the side, slightly regretting.

“Take care.”

I bowed my head and left the room.

That way I went straight to see Confucius Hamel.

I hoped not today, but Confucius Hamel was out drinking. Lord Paramella, who is guarding the residence, has made a mark on the egg.

“Maybe we should just go back today. There's nothing good to be upset about. ”

“It's important. Wake me up, it's urgent. ”

“Huh, wake me up? ”

A little out of practice, aren't you? Lord Paramella sighed, and the young knight standing beside me looked at me with a ridiculous face.

The battle with the Black Pigs is imminent. I can't blow this day away.

Above all, I doubted whether or not Confucius Hamel was actually out drinking. The Confucius didn't seem to enjoy drinking that much. Something was strange about such a person drinking and reaching out so often.

Besides, he's an A rank actor. You'll be good at pretending to be drunk.

So I went out a little more decisively.

“I have an order from the Confucius. It has to be handled today, so please let me meet him. ”

“Is that so important? ”

I was silent and positive. I couldn't say it was about Miss Sapiella. We weren't alone.

Lord Paramella was quite perceptive.

“Ha. I can't help it. Just a moment.”

Lord Paramella has gone inside. After a short burst, you hear something rolling and breaking inside. It looks like Confucius Hamel is wreaking havoc.

I gave Lord Paramella my deepest condolences and waited for him to come out.

Shortly after, Sir Paramella opened the door. It's only been a while, but you look 10 years older.

“... come in. ”

“Excuse me.”

I went inside.

Again, the glass was broken on the floor, and the wooden ornament was rolling around. And Confucius Hamel was staring at me with his head messed up.

But his eyes were bold. I didn't seem to have been shaken.

It was an act.

“You're bluffing. I didn't know you were going to pretend to be drunk. I thought it was real. ”

“It's either one of them. It's hard to pretend that I'm weak or broken. ”

“Sorry to interrupt. ”

He squeezes his hand annoyingly, and I come closer and tell him.

“I've found a connection between the Delfino Merchant Guild and the Dark Side. ”

“Oh, yeah? What are they?”

“Black Pig. Traditional organization in the back alley. We have reason to believe they were supported by the Delfino Merchant Guild. There are a number of companies with them, and I would like to request the dispatch of knights to investigate. ”

“Any evidence?”

“Nothing.”

Confucius Hamel, who was staring at me, suddenly burst into laughter.

“Hahahaha! Have you seen this mindless bastard? You want me to investigate without any evidence? ”

“We're investigating for evidence. ”

“It's a pun.”

There was more resistance to Confucius Hamel than I thought. I thought getting involved with the Delfino Merchants Guild would make it easier. Did you send the Knights?

“We cannot move the Knights without good reason. ”

That's what you're gonna do?

I wasn't going to say this, but I can't help it.

“You don't have the authority to move the Knights? ”

“This guy……! ”

“It would be a burden, even if there were. If things go wrong, you might hear someone yell at you. ”

Hamel's awake.

The reaction seems to have punctured the valley. He has a lot of pride. I needed to inspire his curiosity, I had a little adventure.

I lowered my voice a little, spoke softly.

“Dear Duke, You don't even have to use force. I only want to investigate the tax affairs of the Black Pigs. One article to categorize...... You only need one. ”

“You want me to send Lord Paramella? ”

“No.”

Not long ago, I thought of the stage that Confucius Hamel had chosen to open.

“Only the apprentice knight you know well, please accompany him. It'll be easy. ”

“Ah. Who was that? The one who fought you before? ”

“Yes, and I just need a few good book-keeping investigators. It's better if you're new. There's a saying that there's no one who doesn't get dust from it. How much dirt can you imagine when a dark group intervenes? In the first place...... ”

I empowered him.

“Why do you need a reason to investigate a company led by a dark group? You just have to rob George. Let's take this opportunity to demonstrate the majesty of the Adeline family. Do you know him again? The Lord will see.”

The blow pierces the desires of Prince Hamel. Hamel flickers his tongue and shines his eyes.

“All right, give it a try! ”

* * *

Confucius Hamel handed me Arthurs and the five investigators, as promised. I didn't use an apprentice knight, so there was no noise.

The only noise came from Arthur's own mouth.

“It's a long life ahead of us. The apprentice butler is leading the operation? I'm being ridiculous. ”

Arthurs has been grumbling like that since he left the mansion. I know what he's talking about. He's got a bit of a sad side to him, too.

It is a charming word with a very comprehensive meaning. If I have the opportunity, I would like to look at the dictionary definition of this word later.

I pushed the facts in.

“Are you still hiding behind me? Oh, you're still an apprentice, aren't you? ”

“Shut up.”

“Okay, I need you to stay calm and cooperate. Apprentice Arthur. ”

Arthur's face turns pale as I mock him, but he sighs and calms his anger. But his questions are not over.

“What the hell is going on? You have to explain your situation. ”

“It's no big deal. I'm investigating a company run by a dark group. I have my suspicions of tax evasion. ”

“Tax evasion?”

Arthur narrows his eyes. That's exactly why you're investigating after tax evasion.

“You know, I was photographed by Confucius Hamel. He just cleaned it up. ”

“He used to put up a fight, and now he wants me to work with him. What an unbelievable man. I don't have anything on the Duke. ”

“What can I do for you? You like talented people. ”

I'm proud of you and you sound proud of me. Arthur raises his chin and looks confident. Thanks to that, the noise is no longer heard.

After walking for a long time, I pushed myself into the restaurant and inn, the first subject of the investigation. We didn't hide the badges of the late Adeline.

I stepped forward, leaving Arthurs in the bottle.

“Hey, host! ”

“W-what's going on? ”

The middle-aged man ran quickly. At first glance, we were not ordinary people. I was armed, but Arthur was wearing heavy armor.

As expected, some of the guests in the hall went up to their rooms or left the building as if they were fleeing.

There were some suspicious ones, but I didn't catch them. There's something I have to do now.

I stretched out my hands and showed the owner five fingers.

“I'll give you only five minutes from now, so bring out all the books in this store. Don't be so clumsy about it. We're gonna be crawling all over the place. ”

“Yes? What is that……. ”

“Mister, let's go easy. Huh?”

I pulled out my sword. And in my other hand, I heard an executive order issued directly to Prince Hamel.

Shall we start hunting pigs?
