"Your Excellency! Your Excellency my Duke!!"

"What's with the co heaps of docurandson who's studying governmental affairs as a consul rushed into the rooht that he was one of the superior ones ast his relatives but he still lacked co

"It's a Wyvern Mail fro wax on it"

The duke as only lending his ears while reading a document finally raised his head when he heard [Royal Fa Wax]

The letter that cados news about birth or funeral of the royal fadoency h City Core, the duke retains his calhtly"

Duke Bishtal received the letter while repriic ite the royal sealing wax to re it has been a custo to history, the practice began because the people who idolized Ancestor King Ya wax

"--What"

The wrinkle on Duke Bishtal's forehead deepened after he finished reading the letter

The consul atching hi sto to crush the letter out of rage, but he stopped when he saw the royal sealing wax on his desk

"Your Excellency, ritten in the letter?"

The consul worked up his courage and asked the duke whose blood vessel seeon"

Duke Bishtal squeezed the naster killed a deon becoh?"

The duke glared at the consul as unintentionally speaking in question

"He wasn't acting as an attendant, it was a united front"

"--United front?"

Duke Bishtal threw the letter onto his desk and jerked his chin to urge the consul to read it

"Please excuse ht while the consul was reading

The transparent cubes inside the glass weren't ice cubes, but rock sugars, a native product of the sugar producing area in Raragi kingdoulped down his second glass of brandy while watching the consul with a displeased expression

"If this keeps up, his patrons, Oyugock and Dukus's influence will grow stronger"

"Wasn't Pendragon under patronage of Earl Muno?"

"Muno has always been Oyugock's string Oyugock probably sent the youngster to Muno territory to solve the proble quietly inside the study room reacts to Duke Bishtal

"Demon Lord slayer--"

The old butler's slit eyes narrowed further and he nodded

"--You're very fortunate master"

"Fortunate you say"

The old butler didn't flinch at the boiling Duke Bisthal and continued on

On the other hand, the consul's existence was forgotten like air as he trembled with the letter on his hands

"Yes, fortunate There , but it was concluded peacefully, and Her Highness Shistina has becorandfather of his legal ould be a huge advantage to you"

People that are connected to Viscount Pendragon al wife, but a candidate of legal wife] but fro an unether abroad and with her parents approving it, they ht as well already be a pair of wife and husband

Even if the person in question denied it, people would just talk in the back, "What is it now after all this tiot divorced"

"I see, we have Shistina I thought she was good-for-nothing for declining the e into Earl Lesseu house, but it see in the very end"

He'd look like a garbage parent or randfather in modern Japan, but with this country's cohter as a unit to tie houses of noble together, so he's not exactly a special case of garbage

"At present, there's a discord between Sir Pendragon and nity of the elderly, Master ood will and concede here"

"Are you telling me to lower my head to hi"

The old butler slowly shook his head

"Master can sis he wanted"

"You realize that the ruuy who can't be flattered with ht?"

Nue proposals with their daughters, and many offered him positions in order to build connections, but not even one swayed him

There was even a ruht handso ed his heartstrings

Few people know the fact that he also declined a position on Shiga Eight Swords

"They failed because they approached with general taste as their standard and without investigating his preference"

"Hou?"

Duke Bishtal shakes his brandy glass and urges the butler to continue

"The viscount is a moderate ladies' irls that haven't coock faction spread A lot of people sed that fake info whole because "

"In other words, he likes woe breasts and ass?"

The old butler shook his head at that question

"No, he likes girls with poor figures"

"You're basing that on?"

"After further investigation, we know that he takes good care of a hness and the duchy lady"

The old butler replied full of confidence at Duke Bishtal's doubtful eyes

"Also, he likes to help people in trouble, that is another fact I think we should ure froe"

The old butler explained that the viscount could suspect their intention if they sent people with the saood director from some theater to create the situation

"Fuh"

Even if House of Duke Bishtal's influence grow after they on, they won't be able to make use of his power at critical times

"Yes, therefore we should present the viscount with things that he can't refuse under Your Excellency name"

The old butler said that he wouldn't decline if they sent gifts to congratulate for the [Demon Lord Slayer] ifts too Stuff that can eclipse those gifts are likely only the ic sword Shaitan handed down in my duchy house"

Those two are too precious, Duke Bishtal's frowned

"No, we need not either I have done an investigation on that matter too"

"Great as always, Geezer! And what is it"

The duke praised the confident old butler and urged him to continue

"Yes, it's rare 『Spell Scrolls』, as well as 『Chant』 and 『Magic』 Orbs"

The old butler said that he acquired the inforold coins

His information is correct

No, to be more precise, [It was correct]

The fact that that info was old is the fatal point, but there is no one who could point that out in this place

"He had an intimate relationship with Viscount Shiock Dukedom, and both Marquis Ashinen, the viceroy of Labyrinth City and Earl Seryu bought up Chant and Magic Orbs"

"Is there any point collecting more than one Chant Orb?"

"That is only if he uses it for hianization, 『Pendora』 He probably uses the orbs to shape those children into ic swordsmen and the scrolls to assist the weak ones"

The old butler gave the most reasonable explanation to Duke Bishtal's question

"Then buy up those stuff"

"Understood I will also give instructions to look for suitable girls"

The old butler bowed and left the room

"Kukuku, I'm really lucky to have excellent subordinates underthe back of Duke Bishtal ent to the courtyard

He didn't open his mouth out of fear of the duke's wrath, and he left the room like a shadow

Looks like he's decided to watch the duke's plan to go sdo you"
