Marquis' Express Butler

Sapiella, who tastes tea in the morning in the sun, looks like a picture. The place where she sits glows as if it had been highlighted.

That's just the way it is.

A wide open window. The early summer breeze that flows into it scatters her beautiful hair like silk. In the meantime, Sapiella looks away, looking out the window, holding a cup of tea.

This is what nobles look like.

“I meet the noble lady. Peace be with you.”

“Welcome. ”

I tightened my head, smiling satisfactorily. Not long ago, she didn't answer my greeting. Like all the other nobles.

But now she was greeting me as if she was just waiting for me to come.

It was a trivial pleasure to be interested in me and to be angry like this.

“Did something happen out there? ”

“There was a small conversation. ”

“Ser Laurentz has a loud voice for a small conversation. ”

Afterward, Sapiella looked at the maid who had just come out to see what had happened. She nods, startled.

I tried to move on, but I couldn't help it. What's wrong with the maid?

“Actually, there was a small friction with Sir Laurentz. ”

“No way.”

Seeing how he narrowed his eyes like that, Sapiella's infancy seems to know about the rumors.

You have no choice. Even if he wasn't interested in the family business, he wouldn't have been too far away from rumors about his guardian knights.

I explained in addition.

“I don't know if you've heard, but there's a rumor going around the mansion. Rumor has it Lord Laurentz is avoiding the duel I requested. ”

“Was it true? ”

“It's not true, but it's not entirely false. I asked Lord Laurentz to fight, but he refused. Maybe someone who saw it spread the word. ”

Sapiella looks embarrassed. Neither did I, but Laurentz was a knight who stood by him. For better or for worse, I care.

“So, what happened? ”

“Sir Laurentz threw gloves at me. ”

The meaning of throwing gloves is clear. The young Sapiella rises from her seat, lowering her cup.

“…… is that true? ”

“How can I tell a girl a lie? It's all true."

“Tell Lord Laurentz to come in now. ”

“Lady.”

I reached out to Sapiella, drying out the maid who was about to leave. My resolute actions stopped the maid.

Lord Laurentz took out the gloves he threw at me earlier.

“If someone throws a glove or a handkerchief and the opponent receives it, that means a fair duel has been won. I didn't avoid it. I got the gloves. It is also protected by the relentless laws of the Kingdom. ”

“This is absurd. I know you're strong, but Sir Laurentz is a knight in shining armor. It's not like that apprentice knight we fought before. ”

“You know the lady. that I'm not the kind of person who behaves without thinking about it. ”

Sapiella's excitement subsides. I am also her unofficial home teacher. I was showing her no regrets until I learned a great lesson.

“I am confident I can defeat Lord Laurentz. So don't worry too much. ”

“But this is ridiculous. ”

“It's even more absurd that someone with no skill or skill in protecting you. ”

“No, I'll mediate. ”

Sapiella sets out decisively. I decided to reveal one fact I didn't tell her enough. Before that, I had to bite the maid next to me.

“Excuse me, could you get me a glass of water, please? ”

“Oh, yeah. ”

The servant squeezes his head. The position shows my position that the servant is one step taller than me, but he wrote me a word of respect.

That leaves me and Sapiella in the room.

“I'm not going to the Royal City as your executive secretary this time. I want to do my best as your guardian knight. ”

“My guardian knight? ”

Sapiella was surprised. Suddenly, her right hand touches her chest. A slight tremor. She stares at me dazed for a while.

I took the risk to get one step closer to her. I could hear her breathing.

“To do that, I need to prove that I have better skills and skills than the Laurentz alarm. Perhaps Confucius Hamel has reported this to you as well. There's nothing like a duel to fight. So why don't you trust me on this one? ”

“Yourself... do you? ”

“I wouldn't have even started if I wasn't confident. ”

I tightened my head again, speaking confidently.

But Sapiella still doesn't look like much. It's because I'm fighting with my own guardian knight, not someone else.

As much as you like me, she's trusting Lord Laurentz.

A fight that would be humiliating for either of us. If I were spiritual, I wouldn't feel so good.

But as long as it's a human society, competition is inevitable. And I don't want to be a saint. If there's a competition, I won't lose to anyone.

If you can't split it, it's better to take it.

“I can't help it. Are the attendees determined?”

“It's not set yet, but we know who's the right fit. ”

“Who is it?”

“It's a girl. ”

Sapiella sighs. The duel was established, and someone had to declare the duel legitimate and sacred. The protagonist is the best person close to two people.

“It would be an honor if you would join us in the duel tomorrow. ”

“Let's see about that. Even though the duel has not been declared yet... ”

I was relaxed.

Suddenly I felt dizzy. I twisted my body slightly. He seemed to have said too much in a bad situation overall.

“Dylan?"

Slightly surprised, Sapiella approaches.

“Why all of a sudden? You don't look so good. You're sweating. ”

“I'm sorry. I've had a bit of a cold since this morning. ”

“Why didn't you tell me? ”

Sapiella's warm and gentle hands touched my forehead. The window rises, but I feel her body temperature moving aside.

“You have a fever. I wonder if I can fight properly tomorrow. Is there anyone out there? ”

The spiritual child called the maid before I could stop her. The maid walked privately and bent her waist to prepare for the command. Sapiella gave strict orders.

“Get me an attending right now. ”

“Oh, girl. Are you feeling sick? ”

“Hurry!”

After the surprised maid left, Sapiella Young led me to the couch.

“Sit down and rest. The attending physician, Sir Medix, is rumored to be the best medical practitioner on our land. You'll feel better if you take your meds. ”

“You can't do this. Miss."

Sapiella looked down at me with a look that she didn't understand. I kept saying.

“I'm a commoner and an apprentice. You are not eligible for the treatment of your family doctor. Even if you go, you have to go to a clinic in the village. ”

“Before you were an apprentice, you were my personal butler. I mean, it doesn't matter. ”

Sometimes I get excited by these beatings. Sapiella is a very attractive woman.

“Thank you, miss. ”

Shortly after, Sir Medix, the attending physician of the Adeline family, went inside. He was a stubborn and stubborn old man who hurriedly ran to Sapiella.

“Lady! Did you get hurt? The pain is……. ”

“Not me, this way. ”

“Yes?”

Lord Medix in the monocle stares down at me. Ridiculous, isn't it? Me neither. But don't you think you should reach up top?

Sapiella's baby explained the symptoms on my behalf.

“He has a fever and he has a cold, so let's take a look and prescribe him some medicine. ”

“Oh, I see. ”

The consultation didn't take long.

It was a good experience.I could see the medical level here. There was no stethoscope, and I ended up asking where it hurt and looking everywhere in my body.

The medication was more important. I had to drink the juice from a mixture of strange herbs, not both sides and not a single blow. I think it would be good for my body since I wrote it.

I couldn't hide my bitter expression. Unlike enduring pain.

I need to make Tylenol first, not penicillin. If I'd known this, I'd have listened to my medicine skills a little harder.

“How are you? ”

“My body is comfortable, but my mind is too uncomfortable. It's too much privilege.”

“Apprentice Deacon Dylan works hard for our family. I got the ball up.I don't think getting the perks is gonna be a problem. You also refused the position.”

“People need to live to the fountain. ”

Whether he liked the answer, she smiled faintly.

“Think only of tomorrow's duel. Recover as soon as you can, and fight well in the duel tomorrow. ”

“I will surely triumph over you. ”

“I look forward to it.”

That way, I could enjoy a honey-like sweet rest in the abode of spirituality.

Because of that, the next day, the flu disappeared completely.

Mana circuits around the heart were also cleaned up. I sat on my bed and last checked, and now I feel like I can use Mana as much as I want.

It's like the sky is my victory.

“Dylan.”

A messenger came from the Knights. Arthurs himself has brought news. As I was trimming my sword with a cloth, I raised my head.

“Duels take place at the Knights' Training Ground at 3pm today. The attendees were decided to be Miss Sapiella. That's how you know the Viceroy and the Viceroy are coming to see us. ”

“Got it.”

“That really creeps me out. It's creepy. Things are going exactly as you planned, right? ”

I shrug, smiling. Then I looked up at the clean sword. The sword in the sunlight flashes and spills out.

We're all set now.

* * *

In light of the history of the Adeline family, the Apprentice Chamberlain has never dueled with a Guardian Knight. Even if you get beaten up unilaterally.

Those who were seated in the noble seats that looked best at the training ground talked about the topic together.

It was a matter of status. Earl Kronos, who was hailed as a man with everything, was also interested in doing so.

“This is going to be a strange duel, even if you search the entire continent. This is exciting.”

The Grand Duke of Kronos leans forward to a chair of luxury. Around it, wives and children sat side by side.

The closest person to Lord Kronos was his eldest son, Kaien.

He had the same appearance as his father, who seemed to show me that I was a tradition of the Adeline family by sitting with one leg twisted.

Kaien said.

“Dylan, I think. I've been hearing some names lately. ”

“That's right, sir. I've been hearing a lot about him lately, and he's a very interesting friend. ”

It was Prague, the next man.

Confucius Hamel sat next to him, but he didn't get involved in the conversation. I just clasp my arms and stare down at the training ground nervously.

Then me and his eyes met for a moment. What's wrong with him? Is that an act, too?

I turned my back on all the nobles, including the Grand Duke of Kronos.

“Now, are you ready to die? ”

There, Lord Laurentz, in his lightweight armor, was staring at me as if to kill me.
