Chapter 116
Episode 116:
I was dazed by the red mask that died so easily.
I tried to capture the red mask that knew a lot and could talk.
But as if laughing at all that, the red mask died as soon as it grabbed the nameless handle.
‘The mercenary king didn’t mind.’
The mercenary king was holding on well.
Even for a few minutes.
So I thought it was okay regarding the unknown.
“Master… Ugh!”
“Isn’t that a corpse? There was nothing left but bones and skin. “How did something like that get around?”
The knights approached and covered their mouths.
As I put the body down on the ground, I scratched my head in frustration.
“Clean these guys up and come in.”
“yes.”
“Are you guys okay?”
Just because he regretted it now didn’t mean he would come back from the dead.
I knew long ago that ignorance had this kind of power.
However, the mercenary king was holding it casually, so I thought it was different.
‘It’s not like the mercenary king is anything. ‘Because I collapsed in the end.’
It took a while so I thought there might be another reason.
Now that I know that the power of obscurity is maintained, it’s okay.
As for the Mercenary King… it would be reasonable to say that he was able to endure because he was a sword master.
“Ugh….”
“Wait a moment. “I’ll take out the potion for you.”
The knights approached the groaning colleagues and took out potions from their arms and made them drink them.
As soon as the injured knights recovered, they stood up and approached me.
“sorry!”
“You looked immature!”
I tapped their shoulders as they lowered their heads.
There was no way they would have collapsed because they were happy.
There was something about them that even the hatchling was angry about.
That would have stimulated the knights’ aura.
The hatchling’s nerves were disturbed even for a moment, so there was no way the knight could have withstood it.
“It’s okay, just clean it up properly. “If anything comes out, report it right away.”
“insect!”
The knights placed their fists on their chests in a restrained manner.
Leaving them behind, I went straight back to the lord’s castle.
‘I guess I should report it.’
Since I had come here because of the princess, I needed to talk to the count.
The fact that they attacked me also meant that members of the count family could be attacked when they go out of the city in the future.
I stopped by the Count’s office, but I couldn’t see where he had gone.
“Where is the Count?”
“You are enjoying refreshments with the princess in the drawing room.”
It was hard to believe that the man was out of his office and enjoying refreshments.
He lived every day wrestling with documents.
I didn’t pay attention to most things and didn’t even come out of the office.
‘If you think about the relationship between the princess and the princess, it’s not completely incomprehensible.’
Considering how friendly he was to the princess as if he were his own daughter, it was no surprise that he left the office.
“okay. “Stop it.”
“yes.”
I let go of the maid who had been holding me for a moment and headed to the parlor.
ha ha ha.
Ho ho ho.
A joyous laugh was heard.
Someone even went out and got attacked, but the person who actually gave the order was here laughing happily without knowing anything.
“Are you having a lot of fun?”
“Oh, are you here?”
The Count said to me with a mysterious smile as I was just entering the drawing room.
In front of him was a plate filled with cookies and a glass teapot.
I walked to the table, picked up a cookie and put it in my mouth.
“Did you have a good time?”
“yes. “It wasn’t bad.”
“Good…”
“If it weren’t for the attackers.”
“Raider?”
The Count’s brow furrowed.
“What do you mean? “Please explain in detail.”
He sat down in front of the count and briefly told him what had happened in the forest.
The Count’s serious expression did not disappear as he listened to me.
The princess who was listening next to him was no different from him.
“They’re really going crazy.”
The pattern they were wearing was the same as that of those who attacked the princess in the past.
I know that it is a secret unit of the Empire.
The Count also suspected that it was the Empire’s doing, but ironically, there was nothing he could do.
“There is nothing we can do yet. We need more clear evidence. “Until then, I think it would be best to leave this matter buried.”
“All right.”
“I think it would be better for the princess not to move alone. Even if it’s within the count’s family, I don’t think I can relax.”
“yes.”
There seemed to be no need to worry too much about the princess right now.
The Count was there with him, but more than anything…
‘What could be safer than having Mahol protecting you?’
Because Mahol was always on standby to protect her in her shadow.
“I think it would be best to focus on getting through the banquet safely first. There’s no way they wouldn’t prey on the moment when vigilance is relaxed.”
The count’s eyes shone sharply.
The banquet day has arrived.
Those who had been invited began to gather the day before the banquet began.
The number was double that of the last banquet.
Moreover, considering that the crown prince was included this time, it was terrifying to even imagine what it would be like when he appeared.
“Ugh…”
I couldn’t help but moan.
The maids and butlers were busy assigning rooms to the nobles.
The nobles obediently responded to the assignment.
I knew very well that no good would come from making a fuss here.
‘You’re doing great.’
I’ve been busy with a lot of work these days, so I saw faces I hadn’t seen in a while.
Raina’s behavior as she was busy among the maids was quite skillful.
She may have gotten used to the job, but she was giving orders to some of the maids.
He said he was working under a head maid recently, and the sight of him ordering people around seemed quite familiar.
“hey. Can you see it over there?”
“what. “Is it possible for a maid to have that kind of beauty?”
“Wasn’t that face there last time?”
“I think I brought in a new person this time… Would you like to talk to me?”
The nobles were seen looking at Raina with sinister eyes.
Raina is now 17 years old.
Perhaps because she was at the peak of her maturity, she showed even more unrivaled beauty.
Wearing a maid uniform, she was so beautiful that other women wearing fancy dresses and makeup were buried.
“Hey. You go and talk to him. “Still, you’re the best out of all of them.”
“is it? Seup. “Why don’t you give it a try?”
One of them, a grumpy-looking man, brushed his lips with his fingertips and walked towards Reina.
For a moment, I thought about leaving. Because she was my exclusive maid, there was no reason to be in a place like this unless it was a banquet or something that required a lot of human intervention.
There is absolutely no reason to waste your time with guys like that.
‘Wouldn’t it be more damaging to her if I step out here?’
Then suddenly a thought occurred to me.
Unlike me, the maids had their own world.
If I step out here and defend her, she might be criticized and say that she was a parachute because she came with me from the academy.
It’s not certain, but there’s no harm in being careful.
Although she is my exclusive maid, she and Ellis work under the head maid, so there is a lot of contact with other maids.
‘Let’s just watch for a moment.’
After watching her deal with them, I decided to step in when I felt like nothing was going to work.
Showing that she deals with nobles to some extent may reduce the amount of talk among the maids.
“Hey there.”
“Is there anything you need?”
She smiled softly.
It was a smile that seemed ready to do anything.
“I am Parehan. “You know who I am, right?”
“Ah, you are Viscount Parehan.”
The maids memorize the names of nobles in advance before they arrive.
It was to prepare for any possible situation, and Raina showed that she did it faithfully.
“You know me exactly.”
Parehan nodded as if satisfied with Raina’s answer and glanced back.
His colleagues were seen playfully shouting ‘Oooh!’
“But what happened to me?”
Even in a situation where she knew that it was not with good intentions, Raina did not lose her smile.
“iced coffee. Because I like you. “I will give you the honor of helping me out today.”
Wherever you go, people like that always exist.
Even though I know that Kaham suffered like that last time, there were people who did that kind of thing here.
These are people who don’t even know their topic.
“sorry.”
Raina declined as politely as possible.
But that sight seemed to bother him.
“Are you going to disobey me now?”
His voice rose.
Raina simply repeated that she was sorry.
When I started to attract attention, I thought this would be enough and stepped forward.
No, I was going to step forward.
“Is there a problem.”
A clear and beautiful voice was heard.
When I turned my gaze there, I saw a happy face.
“Mr. Ellis.”
Reina called her.
Ellis looked around with her characteristic indifferent expression, assessed the situation, and approached Viscount Parehan.
“Wow, this isn’t bad either.”
The man’s greedy voice was heard.
He looked Ellis up and down as if evaluating her.
Ellis accepted the gaze as if she was used to it and motioned for Reina to come behind her.
Raina hurriedly hid behind her.
Viscount Parehan glanced at the two maids and exclaimed as if everything had gone well.
“You’ve arrived at the right time. Yes, that…!”
“You have caused harm to Viscount Ira Parehan, who has not yet received a proper education. I hope you can forgive me with that generous heart. I don’t think Viscount Parehan, who is famous for his gentle nature, would be angry about something like this.”
“….”
Hearing Ellis interrupt her mid-sentence, Viscount Parehan closed his mouth like a mute who had just been fed up with honey.
If he gets angry or irritated here, it would be like voluntarily saying that he is a person with bad character.
“I will educate you properly so that something like this never happens again. “Can you forgive me?”
“Uh uhh. okay. “There’s nothing I can’t forgive.”
“I am truly grateful for your generous generosity. Well, I hope you have a good time.”
Ellis ended the situation with a few words and left the scene, taking Reina with her.
Viscount Parehan, who had been standing there blankly, blinked and returned to where the group was with an embarrassed expression on his face.
After watching everything, I walked in the direction they went.
“sorry. “I should have handled it better.”
“no. You did nothing wrong. They responded very well. “It’s just that the opponent was bad.”
“….”
Ellis affectionately stroked Reina’s head as she lowered her head.
“There is no need to blame yourself. Everyone has a hard time doing something for the first time and sometimes makes mistakes. “Miss Raina is doing very well even though it is her first time doing it.”
“…yes.”
Reina’s words of comfort from Ellis gradually cheered her up.
Ellis looked at the figure gently and patted her shoulder.
“The work of a maid is not easy. But Miss Raina will do well. Just doing it now is enough. Then you can become someone who is helpful to him.”
“yes!”
“Hehe. I guess I’m feeling better. When this is over, will I go back to Him?”
“yes. Yes. Even if you go, it’s hard to meet him.”
“Miss Raina needs to understand that. “He is a busy man.”
Wait a minute, that sounds like my story.
I walked along while listening to their stories.
“are you okay. Thanks to him, I was able to escape from there. “Compared to then, I’m happier now.”
“It’s good to be positive. “Once this is over, let’s go see him.”
“great.”
Reina smiled brightly, but then stiffened when she saw me.
He covered her mouth with his index finger and told her to be quiet.
“Miss Raina, why are you doing that?”
Ellis, who sensed something strange about her, looked back in confusion.
“Why watch it later when you can just watch it now?”
I said this while poking her cheek, and she looked at me blankly.
