Marquis' Express Butler

That way, I went to see Sapiella. The matter needed to be handled a little more quickly. It's because we have no idea how to get out of Prague.

“Seems like you've been away a lot lately. You haven't forgotten who you are, have you? ”

I tried to enter the Abyss quietly, but Lord Laurentz stood in the way. I said it's quiet these days. I turned to him with a relaxed smile.

His eyes are wide open. Is he smiling? That's the look on his face.

Of course I'm not afraid.

I'm going to take my gloves off and throw them in his face as soon as I see the chance. There's no need to drag him into the room of truth. Just imprint that you're weaker than me.

“You mean like I'm playing hardball? ”

“That's a great way to put it. And then you want to take the girl? ”

“I am on a special mission, not just from Sapiella, but from Confucius Hamel. I mean, I'm not just an apprentice butler. ”

“Isn't that funny? I can't believe it's unusual for an apprentice. The passing dog laughs. ”

I raised my mouth explicitly. Then Lord Laurentz gives you an impression and walks out in front of you.

“Are you going to wake up after you hit him? ”

“If you have a moment, you can challenge me. ”

“What?"

Lord Laurentz stops walking and flinches with unexpected words. I kept smiling and saying.

“I don't think I'm as good as I thought I was against Arthurs. I want to learn a lesson from a progress contest. What do you think?”

“Huge.”

Laurentz takes a deep breath. I think I'm rolling my head. To be honest, there's not much merit in fighting me from his point of view. How much do you need to queek to fix your habits?

But what if, for real, one of you loses to me?

It will be hard to make a living without promotions from the Knights in the future. If word gets out, we may have to leave the territory.

As such, the athleticism I showed in the duel with Arthurs was substantial.

“Too bad I can't afford an apprentice. Why don't you swing your sword again while you're at it? ”

“I see. I see. ”

I passed him, smiling, and knocked on the spiritual chamber. You hear heavy breathing behind you, but you won't be able to pull out your sword.

“Come in.”

My orders have been issued, and I carefully opened the door and walked inside.

Inside, there were two other maids besides the soul. It's getting warmer now, and I'm doing some heavy debts. I don't see Arwen, but she's cooking in Rosetta.

“You were at peace, my lady. Looks like it's getting a little hot. ”

“Dylan.”

Sapiella noticeably welcomed me. There was no significant change in her expression, but she got up from her seat, lowering her tea.

If you think about spiritual identity, something impossible has happened. The maids were surprised and looked at me alternately.

I did not smile arrogantly and smile. It's a formality.

“I had a wild dream last night. ”

A little behind the scenes is omitted, but I can guess the back story. I tightened my head, smiling brightly. You must have dreamt I was hurt.

“Don't be so thoughtful. Things are going smoothly. ”

“I'm glad.”

“Do you mind if I take a moment? I have something to post. ”

“Is it important? ”

I tightened my head without answering. Then Sapiella told the servants around her.

“Get everyone back. Don't come in until there are people. ”

“Yes, ma'am. ”

The attendants who were watching all retreated. It's just me and Sapiella now. You may be comfortable, but I am formal.

She encourages me to sit in front of her, but I stand beside her and report.

“I overheard the words of the late Lord Kronos. that the Earl of Astria had no contact with any of her affairs. So did the Otto Confederate. Did you get any letters? ”

Sapiella shakes her head. And he looked up at me with a look that he couldn't understand.

“What are you trying to say? ”

“I don't like the way Earl Astria behaves. especially if you think about the pride of a noble girl. Of course, it would be nice if things could go so soullessly. ”

I raised my head and looked at Sapiella, talking nonsense.

“So I'd like to ask you to leave the Adeline family and go to the royal family. ”

“To the royal highway? ”

“You are entering a special curriculum at the Royal Academy, to be exact. It would be helpful to stay in the royal city for a few months and relax and work hard. ”

If Sapiella had no hobby in studying and was obsessed with social life, it would have been difficult to make this offer. But fortunately, she had a knack for studying.

Sapiella turned her head and drank tea water.

“But the royal highway will not be easily granted by my father. There was an incident the other day... ”

We're talking about a kidnapping.

But it's not good to stay alive just because you almost got kidnapped. The more you do, the more courageous you have to be. That's what she said.

It wasn't her life they were after anyway, it was a blackmail card.

“Confucius Hamel will convince you of that. You will go to the Royal Road, but you have to decide. ”

“Something happened that I didn't know about. ”

If only I had studied well, I would have noticed it so quickly. I didn't purposely pretend to be embarrassed, and Sapiella's infancy, who sighed as well, began to infer.

Only then can we avoid the wrath of Confucius Hamel. He told Sapiella not to say anything. But if she asks you a question, you must answer her.

“In fact, I got caught up in the kidnapping investigation this time. ”

“Who's the unexpected one? ”

“The Vise Secretary. ”

“Lord Weiss? ”

Her expression became serious. Did you say something too important? I didn't bring up Confucius Prague.

I promised Sapiella no more surprises.

“Secretary Weiss had nothing to do with the kidnapping. It just pissed me off when I was researching a few businesses. ”

“Lord Weiss thinks the Chamberlain is a very powerful man. You must be embarrassed. ”

Sapiella repeatedly called him ‘Lord.’ In fact, he holds the title of Baron the Baron.

If so, the adhesion may be deeper than you think. Before the butler, the nobles could conduct various business interests. In other words, the Black Pig tribe may not be the last to play the role of money.

I was going to raise the Avengers in the future and unite the Dark Ones. If so, several tissues must be absorbed, and friction with the vice secretary is inevitable in the process.

Of course, he won't know who I am right away, but there is a clue as to whether he suspects me of this tax investigation.

“I don't know what's going to happen. But you'd better be careful. There's an old saying in my hometown, Tap the stone bridge and cross. ”

Sapiella seems to be lost in thought for a moment, but surprisingly, the decision is swift.

“Then I'll go to the royal highway. Now that you've saved my life before, it's my turn to help you. ”

“Didn't you pay for all that with the meal you gave me earlier? ”

“The price of my life is not so light. ”

At that, I tightened my head with a smile. I am not stupid enough to refuse to receive grace.

* * *

I came out of the Abyss and went to the Knights. The Knights building was outside the mansion. So I came down to the lobby and left the mansion.

This tax investigation was led by me and Arthur. If I leave him alone and go back to the royal road, I may not look good.

I tried to get inside, but the gatekeeper stopped me as I crossed the window.

“What are you doing here? This place is off-limits to anyone. ”

I don't feel so good about myself. Maybe a knight or an apprentice. It doesn't feel good to stop a soldier.

But let's get on with it. Since Arthurs was defeated, the Knights have been raging to catch the Butler.

“I've brought Miss Sapiella's order. If no one can get in or out, should we go back? ”

“... Don't go in there and try anything. ”

“Your orders are a hoax? Amazing.”

“That's not it! ”

What upsets me is that even after rumors about the lady's specialty, there are still people who behave like this. Do I really have to wear a hall pass on my forehead?

“Good work, it's hot. ”

I tapped the gatekeeper's shoulder with a smile. I wanted to check out the status window, but it never came up.

For the first time, I set foot inside the headquarters of the Adeline Knights.

The interior was very shredded.

It was a stone building, but without any decoration, it did not satisfy my mood. All the flags and ornamental weapons used by the Knights. It feels like a barracks made of stone.

Based on the information I learned from Lohan Pedia, I headed to the home where the apprentices are waiting. Before I arrived, I asked Lord Paramella, who said Arthur was on standby today.

“You said room at the end of the fourth floor? ”

I climbed up to the fourth floor with knights and apprentices in my sights. When you reach the end of the hall, the door is open and knocks are omitted.

Several apprentices were chatting over the table. Arthur, on the other hand, sits motionless with his arms folded in his arms and thinks of something.

“Hey, Arthur. ”

“What are you doing here? ”

“Come out for a minute. A message from Miss Sapiella. ”

I sold Sapiella's name in case the other apprentices bothered me. As expected, Arthurs followed me out quietly.

We left the Knights' headquarters and moved to a quiet place.

He was wearing a gorgeous long sword to see if the money I gave him changed his weapon. I felt good as I saw myself getting stronger.

But I didn't ask you when you switched weapons. I don't think it's polite.

“What kind of message is this, dragging people around like this? ”

“The message was a lie. I played because I was afraid your colleagues would get in trouble. ”

“Your liver's swollen. You sell her name because you have nothing to sell? ”

“That's not the point. Things got a little out of hand. ”

“A twist?”

“You know, the tax investigation before. That's a little wrong. ”

From Arthurs' point of view, he could not understand. He was rumored to be an excellent apprentice knight who saved three wounded guards back then.

I whispered in his ear in silence.

“Chief Secretary Weiss was paid off by the Black Pigs. ”

“What?"

“To put it bluntly, two nameless apprentices cut off Weiss' money line without even noticing. ”

Arthur's expression darkens. Although he may not be related to the Knights, Weiss is a dedicated steward of the late Chronos. I mean, he can do anything.

“That's fucked up. ”

“So I came up with a good idea. You don't want to try it? ”

“Is it time to cover the meal you just ate? If there's anything I can do. What's going on?”

“Sapiella's guardian. ”

In a word, Arthur's mouth snaps open.
