Chapter 408 – Chapter 408 Magic School Shutra (3-19)
A man’s voice rang out loud enough to break Count Potts’ castle.
“Why the hell did you do that!!!!!!”
“Ah… Stop shouting….”
“Now I look like I can’t scream!!! Why the hell did you do that!!!”
Earl Potts, whose protruding belly had swelled up to the point of reminiscent of that of a fruit, swelled up to his body and shouted.
Even though Count Potts, the owner of the county’s castle, was shouting and scolding, the skinny man just grumbled immaturely.
“Because I really don’t remember….”
“If you can’t remember, think so that you can remember!!”
“Damn….”
And a short, skinny man wringing his tousled hair in front of him, complaining of a headache.
The man who behaved so immaturely in front of Count Potts, who was screaming, was Jeff Potts, the eldest son of Count Potts and the only son of Count Potts.
He was 25 years old now, but because he hadn’t taken care of himself, he had the looks of being in his mid-thirties.
Even if he was 40 due to the alcohol he drank the day before, he was too old to believe.
Feeling a headache from a hangover, he tried to recall the events of yesterday as best he could.
Jeff gave up on the banquet hall the day before, where alcohol was spread out, and went to visit Karin, who did not attend the banquet hall.
In the meantime, Karin, who had rejected herself like an iron wall, was very kind to Karin that day, and she took him to the terrace to drink her wine.
‘Madam… I’m sure it was good to drink wine with Lady Karin in a good mood yesterday…. I can’t remember the middle!’
The last scene that remained in his memory was that he kicked out the terrace door to show off his majesty in the midst of the atmosphere.
(Lady Karin! Hib! My, I! How courageous! Keuouk! Bo, I’ll show you! Follow me!)
(I’m so scared.)
(Then… Heb! Wait here! Kkeuk…. I, I’ll defeat the dean! Oh, I’ll come! Heb!)
Jeff felt like he wanted to run down the mouse hole right away, his face flushing whenever he remembered what he had done or said.
‘Fuck! Yesterday was an opportunity! A chance to look good to Lady Karin! But why are things the way they are!’
As soon as Jeff saw her Karin, he fell for her, and he clung to his father to marry her, stroking her as usual.
Earl Potts, who received Jeff’s complaint, began working behind the scenes for himself, not for his son.
He began to seduce them gently with his wealth, which even the royal family could not ignore.
However, Brandrup was not enough even with his financial resources.
Karin Brandtrup was the eldest daughter of a duke who had taken on the throne, and she was a capable figure who was even recognized throughout Levin.
Most of all, there was even a rumor going around that people around them would point to Karin as the heir to the Duke of Brandrup.
It was impossible.
Count Potts also raised the white flag, judging that marriage was impossible.
An existence that could not be possessed by her father even if he swarmed it.
Karin, who smiled kindly at others, was often dismissive of Jeff with contempt.
After the Count gave up, Jeff began to spend a gloomy day every day.
It was a body that could not live without alcohol.
To him who did… The opportunity had come.
Suddenly, as rumors spread that the successor position would go to Louis, who had a talent for magic, the possibility began to emerge.
At the same time, the underlying work they had been doing was giving Jeff and Count Potts a chance.
As soon as Louis entered Strauss, the duke’s family started to respond.
If she couldn’t become the official successor to the duke’s family, Karin would eventually have to marry into another family, and that opportunity would pass to Count Potts, who had prepared everything for her.
Not only Jeff, but Count Potts didn’t want to miss this opportunity.
However, it was true that even if such an opportunity came, it was not easy.
Even after that, Karin didn’t pay attention at all like the attitude she had shown to Jeff, and even her greetings were often ignored.
I just passed by expressionlessly….
That she…
(Okay. The weather is nice. Shall we talk on the terrace? I wonder what kind of person you are.)
(!?)
It was the first time she allowed herself to talk to herself.
And the result was this.
‘Fuck… I was so excited that I drank too much without realizing it!’
Even Jeff, who had been immature, could see how dangerous the situation was.
He cautiously began to ask his father.
“Oh, Dad…. I-I made a mistake…. If you go and ask for forgiveness, he will surely forgive you. Dad is a count! No matter how hard it is, you can’t do anything to Dad… !”
“Wake! No matter how county I am, no matter how much money I have, there is a class! Class!”
“Well, then what do you do! Am I going to end like this!? Yes?”
“Gosh… A guy like you is my son….”
Jeff commits the incident, and the banquet hall turns upside down.
Assistant Professor Sonya immediately reported this incident to Stra, and then threatened to make a formal complaint to Levin Kingdom.
If that really happened, the life of the son, of course, the family would fall, and in the worst case, the life of the Earl of Potts.
Leaving only the wealth accumulated over the years….
But fortunately that didn’t happen.
Count Potts said as he sat down in his chair as if his legs gave out.
“… First of all, the dean forgave me.”
“Gee, really!? Look! Because my dad said… !”
“Please shut up! Don’t go anywhere and say such stupid things! Are you trying to destroy our entire family because you don’t want to die alone!”
“I-I just….”
Watching Jeff hesitate, Potts continued his speech, stretching the flesh all over his body again.
“The dean forgave me because I got a good night’s sleep.”
“Phew… So, is it over now?”
“Instead, he said there was one condition.”
“What, what conditions?”
Jeff gulped down his saliva and began to stare at Count Potts’ mouth tremblingly.
Count Potts sighed and opened his mouth.
“This time, while the dean is traveling, you have to be by his side to assist.”
“What? My, why did I do that!”
Jeff was a person who had lived his entire life as an aristocrat.
No matter how much the other person was the dean, when I thought that I had to take care of someone, I felt rejected.
Count Potts glared at Jeff and opened his mouth.
“This is an opportunity.”
“Chance?”
“Everyone is using all means to exchange a single word with the dean. But you got a chance to be a horse partner throughout the trip.”
“Five….”
Rather, it was a situation where everyone wanted to be by the dean’s side and hold his attendants.
However, the opportunity passed to Jeff, who made a mistake with the dean.
“Maybe the dean cares more about you for your unexpected behavior.”
“I want to do it!”
“You fool! That’s normal! The thing is, it’s important that you don’t make mistakes!”
After that, Potts grabbed Jeff and started pouring out countless words at him as if he were giving him an accelerated lecture.
“Please watch your mouth. Never open your mouth first! If you speak unconditionally, then answer!”
“Ah Okay.”
“Even if you don’t want to do it, just follow everything you’re told! In particular, the words of the woman who came as a professor from Stra are treated as the words of the dean and upheld them!”
“Ah… Okay.”
“And please! Drink a little bit of that bastard’s drink!! If I ever heard of him drinking during this trip, I’d kick him out myself! Okay!?”
“Ah… I know….”
That was the moment.
Knock, Knock, Knock.
Startle!
There was a knock on the door, and Jeff, startled, hid behind Count Potts.
Count Potts frowned at Jeff’s behavior and carefully opened his mouth.
“Who, who are you?”
“It is me. Louis.”
“Ah! De, come in!”
With the appearance of Louis, Count Potts and Jeff began to breathe a sigh of relief as they relaxed their expressions.
As soon as Louis entered the room, he smiled and greeted me.
“Long time no see. Sir Jeff.”
“Oh, long time no see… No see. Sir Lewis.”
Jeff looked at Louis and began to feel relief inside her.
‘My father said that he should be careful because he has a dark inside, but I don’t think so.’
Lewis was one of the few people who treated Jeff very well.
Louis was the one who even gave her a lot of advice so that she could connect with Karin.
From Jeff’s point of view, Lewis was like a benefactor and savior.
“Yesterday’s banquet… It was really sad.”
“Whoa… Sorry. My son is not paying attention….”
“No. Don’t blame Sir Jeff.”
“… Yes?”
Ignoring Count Potts’ doubts, Lewis walked over to Jeff and put a hand on his shoulder and smiled.
“On the contrary, I think it is a great courage. In Levin Kingdom, there will be no one as courageous as Sir Jeff.”
Haha! He, do you think so?”
“Kuhm!”
“Oh….”
Jeff heard Count Potts’ angry cough and immediately bowed his head and apologized.
“Sir Lewis, I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you because of me. How to compensate….”
“Never mind me. It’s okay.”
Lewis began to say business while putting on his usual pretentious face.
“But the situation is not always good. When the delegation arrives in Levin Kingdom, this will surely go to my father and mother’s ears.”
“Huh….”
At Lewis’ words, Jeff felt the sky fall.
Even if Jeff gave up on everything in the world, he never wanted to give up on Karin.
He had run a marathon, but it was as if he sprained his ankle with one kilo left.
When Jeff looked at Louis restlessly, Louis began to reassure Jeff.
“But don’t worry too much. I will explain to you both.”
“Are you sure?”
“Sure. I do not speak twice with one mouth. I will help you both physically and mentally so that Sir Jeff’s love does not crack.”
“Go, thank you! Sir Louis!”
Jeff began to be thrilled with Louise’s kindness and consideration.
‘As expected, my father doesn’t have eyes to see. How can a person like this deceive….’
Louis, who reassured Jeff, began asking Jeff with a soft smile.
“Sir Jeff, if you’ll excuse me, may I speak to Count Potts separately?”
“Ah! Sure! I’m going out! Then!”
Jeff didn’t even say hello to his father, he opened the door and hurried out, as if on the orders of his respected superior.
Seeing Jeff like that, Count Potts forced a smile and opened his mouth.
“Sir Lewis, what do you have to say to me?”
“I came to see you like this because you must have been very tired because of yesterday’s work.”
Haha… Thank you.”
Count Potts, after getting drunk yesterday, lifted Louis up and slashed his holy guard.
However, the act led to disastrous results.
As Seong Su-ho was recognized as a person receiving the dean’s attention, his prestige rose rapidly, and his son had a super-large accident that caused a tremendous disrespect to the dean and Seong Su-ho.
‘Shit… Yesterday, I was too drunk, so I said it without thinking.’
However, Count Potts did not regret seeing the results.
Fortunately, however, Jeff was resolved, and considering his relationship with the Brandrup family, flattering would have been much more helpful.’
As Count Potts rationalized his actions in this way, he began to understand Louis’ intention of visiting.
‘You bastard, you must have come here to get something…. It would be better to get to the point quickly rather than just talking about it.’
After Count Potts made up his mind, he smiled brightly at Louis and began asking questions.
“I am sorry for making you feel uncomfortable because of my son. If Sir Louis wants anything, whatever I have….”
“Come to think of it, I heard it by chance at a banquet….”
“… ?”
“I heard that you have the Royal Crystal.”
“!?”
Royal Crystal.
In the morning, it becomes a sapphire in the shape of the blue sky, during the day it turns into yellow topaz in the sunlight, in the evening it becomes a red ruby in the sunset light, and at night it turns into a transparent diamond with the energy of the moon. It was one of the few expensive jewels in existence.
As soon asheheard Lewis’ words, Count Potts twitched his face and began to pour out his anger.
‘Couldn’t this crazy bastard have come to ask for it!’
Count Potts was able to obtain two royal crystals that were beyond the scope of his financial resources.
He originally intended to get one, but was lucky enough to get two.
‘One is for a gift, and one is for me to possess….’
Count Potts began to roll his head.
But there was only one conclusion.
‘Shit… First of all, the connection with the Brandrup family is much more important!’
He said to Louis, straightening his face as hard as he could.
“Lou, Sir Louis was just thinking that we should make something up… If you want, Royal Crystal….”
Haha! Thank you very much. You are also Count Potts. The distribution is really big.”
“Under… Under… Under….”
“Oh, and one more thing….”
Before Lewis could say anything, Count Potts began to scream inwardly of hatred.
‘What else!!! Is this bastard trying to rob everything with this opportunity!’
He vented his resentment inwardly, but he had no choice.
I just had to laugh and listen to what Louis had to say, and I had to boldly accept his threatening request.
Louis looked around to see if anyone was around, then quietly opened his mouth.
“I heard rumors about the fort. Moramine… Are there any flowers that make people feel good?”
