Episode 94

How can I believe such a thing?

To reassure my mother, he put Fio in a small prison made with magical powers.

As if frustrated, he turned his back to me and bowed his head, it was cute, but also heartbreaking.

«It’s unnecessarily cute.»

There was a hint of sympathy in my mother’s eyes, probably thinking similarly to mine.

So, you’ll have to explain why that talking beast is standing next to you.

That’s…

I did my best to explain what was going on.

My mother didn’t seem to trust him easily, but she seemed to accept it to a certain extent since the magical beast, Fio, was right in front of her.

It’s hard to believe that a demigod exists.

More important than that is to purify the distorted magic.

If this were to happen nationwide, the people who would suffer the most would be the magicians.

Magicians use magic in the form of circulation and release of external magic and their own magic inside their body.

Therefore, if distorted magic mixed with external magic and entered the body, the likelihood of mind contamination was greater.

It would be much more dangerous than knights simply emitting external magic.

If that is true, then yes.

[We don’t lie like humans!]

Fio’s empty shout filled with injustice made my mother’s face turn cold.

I looked at Fio, who didn’t care, smiled and took my mother’s hand.

Anyway, I don’t think mine should be left alone. If wizards are your job, can I ask you to help me with both hands?

They said they thanked me for Raymond’s work, so there was no reason not to use it.

I was thinking about how to use the seasonal stone mines in the future.

* * *

My mother discovered distorted magic in the seasonal stone brought as a sample.

Unlike before, my mother was puzzled by some energy and sent the sample to the mage tower.

While waiting for a call from the tower, I received a call from Ethan.

My mother naturally objected to the letter asking me to go alone.

What do I believe in alchemists!

You believed Niveia.

Niveia is different from any other alchemist.

They all objected because they were worried about my health.

I picked up Fio, who was yawning at her feet, and held him in front of my mother.

Instead, I will go with Fio. Can you believe this?

Mom looked at Fio and me with a questionable expression.

Take a gentleman too.

I think I’m going to get caught.

What will you do if you get caught by the guy who came to ask you?

At my mother’s words, I had no choice but to go to Ethan with Fio and one of the disguised knights.

When I arrived at the meeting point, the man who had been sitting alone stood up and greeted me.

Welcome, Princess Pioneer

Ethan greeted me with a painted smile.

When I sat down, he handed me a document.

As requested by the princess, I will be leaving the logistics business just to the south.

I am very grateful for that.

I replied briefly and took the time to have a cup of tea.

A relaxed attitude was essential in negotiations.

If you ever need anything, don’t hesitate to contact our family.

If it’s about your work with Raymond, you’ll have to explain exactly why. I don’t know what will happen if I touch him for petty reasons.

Ha ha. Actually, I’ve heard it’s simple, but it’s true. In a way, he seems to resemble the Grand Duchess.

I hardened my face at Ethan’s words.

I was curious why he had to provoke me by saying this.

Of course, there are things that are different from her.

I just want her to be simple. It’s disgusting that she’s spinning around like that.

Oh I’m sorry. Princess.

She moistened her lips with her tongue and opened her mouth.

As I said before, Raymond is causing a lot of damage to our family right now. Princess must know by now that our family and Raymond don’t get along.

Of course.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have rushed to kill each other.

But the opponent is the next heir who will lead the tower. Isn’t it natural that it’s hard to be attentive to him alone with the strength of our family?

Isn’t it right to live without distrusting each other?

We have come too far to get along.

Yet it is not within my power, and I do not know what I can do.

But didn’t you swear an oath to him?

An oath is only an oath. Sir Raymond is not even my servant, so how can I command myself to do this and that?

Do you think I’m Tatiana and that I’m going to control him?

Ethan fiddled with his fingers as if nervous, then opened his mouth again.

So, how about this? The princess is His Majesty’s mistress, so I want you to tell her that our Cassel family had no other intentions.

Unexpected words came out.

Maybe this is the real purpose.

Are you asking me for a favor now?

It is essential for business. If you help us, you will be able to receive help from our family in various fields in the future. It will definitely help the business you are doing now.

How, exactly, can you help?

Yes, in many ways.

Have you ever made a request like this to someone else?

He smiled softly and said no more.

Ethan felt more advanced than Raymond because he didn’t show all his hands.

Then I’ll wait for you to contact me.

When Ethan finished speaking, he walked away as if there was nothing more to hear.

«How sure are you, how the hell did you invade this empire?»

Not long ago, after receiving a letter from me, Aster started searching a field that was monopolized by the Cassel family all over the country.

He said that in a significant part, the Cassel family’s monopoly was confirmed.

Moreover, he did not know that he would get out more if he put the contracts under his name.

* * *

On the way back with Fio.

Fio was particularly concerned about the way he was looking around today.

What’s the matter?

[Leave me outside for a moment and come in.]

The way his blue-gray eyes lit up seemed unusual.

I left him in front of the hotel like Fio said and went inside.

And not long after…

Oooh!

A familiar scream was heard.

I rushed out thinking Fio might have had another accident.

And when I saw the scene unfolding before my eyes, I couldn’t help but be surprised.

It was because he could see Wilhelm, who was bitten by Fio and was injured.

Fio!

As soon as I took it from him, he shouted in disgrace.

[That guy has been following you for a few days now!]

Wilhelm, who was lying unsightly, reached out his hand to hide the ball of images that had fallen to the ground.

Oooh!

I quickly kicked his hand.

Wilhelm picked up the video ball he couldn’t hide and picked it up.

Come on, wait! Don’t touch it.

I ignored his words and activated the video ball.

Ah.

What was recorded inside was not a show.

What Andrew and I met and talked about.

And the image of me meeting Ethan was contained.

To be honest, Sir Wilhelm.

I looked at him, unable to lift my head, and muttered.

I didn’t know the Lord was such a bad person.

That that…

I sulked and walked in without another word.

* * *

Wilhelm returned to the room with a miserable heart.

He sat down in the chair and wiped his face with his hands.

The contemptuous look on his face was etched in his mind and would not go away.

What the hell did I do…

The proud, strong self-image he had of himself disappeared without a trace.

Can you call yourself a gentleman?

Wilhelm cringed with absolute self-loathing.

Wilhelm Hunt!

Then the door suddenly flew open. Andrew, his face burning, walked in.

He immediately grabbed Wilhelm by the collar and lifted him up.

The man’s face, full of rage, entered his field of vision.

You son of a bitch, you dare come all this way to spy on me?

Oh, no.

I guess I didn’t make you the leader of the Silver Dragon Knights just to do something like that! At least I thought you were a sensible bastard who knows how to properly protect the cavalry even though you don’t know the other parts.

I, I…

Andrew muttered as he shoved Wilhelm to the ground harshly.

Now that I see it, he was a madman who sold his soul to Tatiana or something. Seriously, there’s no way a guy who says he’ll be a married woman’s lover is even crazier.

It was like looking down on an insect.

Wilhelm could barely lift his head.

Until now, I was sure he would do anything for Tatiana.

I thought I could endure anything, but this job was especially difficult.

I’m not going to let things happen today. Of course, the Grand Duchess will also be responsible. You will apologize to Karina here and ask her forgiveness at any cost.

Ha, but!

Suddenly, Andrew’s power exploded.

Wilhelm shut his mouth against the cold that filled the room.

It was a terrifying impulse.

A knight is the master’s sword. Decide if your master is the Grand Duchess or if it is me, Andrew LeBron Gloucester.

Wilhelm remembered what Karina had said.

How miserable it is to be subservient to the man you thought was your rival.

He’s not even a gentleman, no different from a servant.

Will you answer?

At Andrew’s urging, Wilhelm bowed his head.

There was no time to think.

His name, I’ll take it.

If you harm the princess, I know you are a master swordsman, and I know how to cut it as it is.

After speaking, Andrew left the room.

Wilhelm clenched his fists sadly.

Tatiana, you have to call.

But in the meantime, I did not forget what I had to do for his beloved mistress.

I wanted to hear her comfort.

Hearing kind words from Tatiana would definitely make him feel better.

Wilhelm quickly sent a telegram to arrange his affairs.

It was a story about things gone wrong and pessimism about his situation.

It was a fight he had made in a long time.

Wilhelm rarely said this to anyone.

He was a gentleman.

He did not want to appear weak to anyone.

But now he needed comfort.

However, there was no communication from Tatiana until the evening.
