Chapter 419 – Chapter 419 Magic School Shutra (3-30)
I couldn’t tell if Louis had left the reception altogether or was just heading to the waiting room to cool off for a moment.
I really didn’t want to know.
‘Good night….’
I just wanted to concentrate on dancing while feeling the body temperature of the Duchess in my arms.
Even after that, the Duchess made many mistakes while dancing with me.
But I supported her, who was disheveled, and hugged her and continued her dance.
He didn’t look like he was rejecting it, and he didn’t seem to have any intention of rejecting it.
Because the temperament window I can see proves it.
-[Pheromone: Microscopic poisoning]-
Pheromones are weak drugs, but unlike drugs, they do not suddenly attract people.
It is not like a strong wind or a strong wave, but like a calm wave that shakes slightly.
Such ultrasound that gradually affects the brain even if you cannot hear it.
Frustration itself was not such a negative quality that it ruined one’s life.
For example, Sonya had been working as an ordinary professor at school before meeting me.
The Duchess must have been the same.
Dissatisfaction is something that can be solved somehow if you can secretly solve it alone.
It is enough to press the dissatisfaction itself into a box and sink it deep into the abyss of the heart.
However, it was the pheromone that stimulated the hidden creature and made it jump out of the box.
‘Once you see pheromone poisoning, the progress is fast. What to do now….’
It had already been an hour since they started dancing with the Duchess.
Considering that the shortest time they danced was 10 minutes, and at most 20 minutes, they were dancing with the Duchess for an incredible amount of time.
The Duchess herself was a woman I liked, and I wanted to dance with her for hours.
But even the best times have an end.
The mask reception was not a banquet that lasted forever.
Sonya’s voice began to be heard from the banquet podium.
“Ladies and gentlemen. We are going to end the banquet in 30 minutes.”
Sonya began to explain the final order of the banquet.
“As you all know, a masquerade banquet is a banquet that is tolerant of mistakes. If you are uncomfortable revealing your identity, you can leave the banquet hall quietly.”
The remaining time was not a time to enjoy, but a time to decide to leave.
I whispered in my ear as I watched the Duchess in my arms exhaling breath containing heat.
“My lady… What are your plans?”
“I….”
The Duchess was looking up at me, very worried.
It was a feature of the masked banquet to prevent the people who left the banquet from not being able to interact with each other.
In order to meet each other, they must remain unconditionally and reveal their identities.
If the Duchess remains here and reveals her identity, it will be known that she danced with other men as well as with me.
Obviously, the Duchess would never reveal her true identity here.
‘They won’t come to me after throwing their whole life away with one minor addiction.’
After falling on the hesitant Duchess, I carefully bowed her back and said hello.
“I really enjoyed today.”
“Now, wait a minute. Are you sure you want to leave?”
“… Yes.”
When I answered, the Duchess came back to me and began whispering quietly so that no one else could hear.
“Is it because I hesitated? If so….”
“It’s not because of the lady.”
“… Yes?”
I replied to the Duchess, who showed me a puzzled look.
“I don’t want to disappoint you by showing you the way I am.”
“What is that….”
I removed the Duchess from my body again and bowed her head.
“I will never forget what happened today. Then….”
“Ah….”
After I answered that, I left the Duchess behind and quickly started to leave her banquet hall.
There were not one or two people who wanted to leave the banquet hall.
Everyone has their own circumstances, but it would be difficult to say that they are good circumstances.
Like me….
‘Let’s get out quickly! I’ll be in trouble if Luna finds me!’
[….]
So I disappeared from the banquet hall with the wind.
..
..
The mask welcome party has come to an end.
The banquet ended in a different way for each person.
Some people show their faces to make friends with people they like, while others hide their faces and end the day with a fire game.
Among those who revealed their identities, high-ranking nobles invited their favorites to an after-party.
And one of them was the Duke of Brandrup.
The duke invited some of the male nobles whom he had a crush on while talking at the banquet to the mansion.
As soon as I arrived at the duke’s mansion, I went to her annex with Luna and listened to her story.
“We’re not from the Duke’s family, so there’s no need to participate.”
“That is fortunatehahaho ho laughing among strangers is tiring.”
“… Why did you leave first?”
Luna was looking at me pouting her lips.
I pretended not to know and opened my mouth.
“Just… I quit because I was getting bored.”
“The bet is… Didn’t you forget?”
“Yes? What bet?”
As I smoked her silence, Luna let out her wistful sigh and began to lament.
“Under… I should have caught it before I left.”
“Hmm? What do you mean?”
I started whistling and whistling.
Looking at me like that, Luna was feeling unfair with a very upset expression.
[Do you intend to void the bet?]
‘No way… Doing a favor later is doing it. I’m just enjoying the moment.’
When will we see Luna’s expression like this again?
After arriving at the annex, I began to ask Luna earnestly.
“I see. Lewis didn’t look good earlier. What happened?”
Of course, Louis’ situation was not my concern. I even knew why Louis had a somber expression on his face.
I was curious to see if Luna had really figured out the identity of her Louise.
And the result….
Luna was looking around her head, her really questioning expression on her face.
“I don’t know. It looks like something bad happened at the banquet hall. It doesn’t look so cheery… I haven’t even seen it a few times.”
One of those few times must have been when he hit me during exams.
I was able to find out by this
‘I don’t know it’s Louis, but it looks like it.’
In fact, Luna’s reaction was a normal reaction.
The magic surrounding the banquet hall was a magic that many talented wizards put their heart and soul into.
If I hadn’t had a temperament window, I would have never known that parrot was Luna.
“It looks like Louis is having a drinking party with the people invited by the Duke.”
Louis would not be in a situation where he would go to the after-party arranged by the duke.
After my mother interrupted her hugging and playing with a man she hated, she got scolded by her mother and then ran out of the banquet hall.
But now Louis was Levin’s pride beyond the ducal family.
If the Duke had invited others at this time, Louis would surely be there.
‘Well, it’s none of my business whether he’s being dragged around or not….’
I asked her, hugging her Luna from behind as I thought so.
“Luna… Will it be all right today?”
“Whoa… That is….”
Luna listened to me, and she couldn’t answer easily, and she started to get into trouble.
Time will pass
The problem is that there is no situation to meet.
“Right now, it’s not easy to walk around the outbuildings at night. More than anything, it is the fact that we are now in the duchy.”
“But….”
“Originally, I don’t invite people like this to the annex….”
Anyway, since the outbuilding itself is located on the duke’s property, it was safe because soldiers were always waiting outside to guard it.
She said that in the past, when Luna lived in the annex, it was just a waiting room for necessary attendants.
‘Well, what Louis is thinking is obvious.’
The attendants reside here because of Lewis’ orders, and if something happens between me and Luna, the attendants will immediately report it to Louis.
I couldn’t stand not having sex.
But she regretted not being able to taste the happiness of going to bed hugging Luna, and waking her up.
In fact, if you use her sleep magic, you can solve all of them, but since this is the part that you can’t tell Luna about her, I decided to give up on going to her.
After entering her annex, Luna, who was in front of her own room, said with an apologetic expression on her face.
“Sorry. I think it will be difficult here for a while.”
“Yes? Are you sorry? I didn’t say anything.”
I tried to hug her Luna, but I put her hand on her shoulder and brushed off her grunts.
There were already attendants wandering around inside the annex, and even her exclusive maid in front of Luna’s room was staring at me and her Luna.
I looked around and asked Luna.
“Will you take me around the city during the day tomorrow?”
“Whoops… Sure. Go.”
So I promised Luna a date and headed to my room.
..
..
The next day, I went on a date with Luna walking around town.
The city, which was originally lively, was endlessly crowded with people holding a festival with the dean’s visit.
The dean would not come to this festival, but the people living here were so happy that he had visited and held a grand festival.
Luna and I spent the day enjoying lively festivities, and at night we were able to return to the mansion.
And as soon as I arrived at the mansion, I was able to hear the story of her duchess from Cheryl, Luna’s exclusive servant.
“I think the madam is not feeling well.”
“I heard it wasn’t good in the morning….”
“Yes, the madam hasn’t come out of the room all day.”
“Then I’ll have to visit the hospital tomorrow.”
Luna looked at me with a worried expression and started asking questions.
“Do you want to visit the hospital together?”
“Can I go?”
“Yes, of course. As a matter of etiquette, if you show your face, even if it’s simply, you’ll be more than happy.”
“Okay.”
I wanted to see you once. Will the Duchess be able to recognize me when she sees me tomorrow….
And I could hear the story about Lewis.
“You, like the Duke, were invited by Count Baren and went to the Count’s househeheard that he must be busy due to missed appointments with other nobles for a while.”
“But….”
In other words, it was a story that Louis would be hard to see in his mansion because he would have to be the pride of the duke for a while.
‘Great…. If he leaves the house often, he should be me.’
Without realizing it, I smiled spontaneously.
Luna listened to Cheryl, nodded her head, looked at me, and she said.
“Then, tomorrow morning, let’s go visit Anna-sama together.”
“Okay, see you tomorrow. I had a nice time today.”
“… Me too.”
Luna turned around with her smile and started to head for her own room.
And….
“….”
“… ?”
Sheryl glared at me for a moment, then she started running after Luna.
I wondered what it was at first, but I quickly lost interest and went into my room.
As soon as I entered the room, Armonia reported to me.
[Once, we have secured all the room structures and security routes inside the mansion. However, the plan of the room structure is clear, but the security route is still unclear.]
As long as the mansion isn’t cursed, nothing will change inside.
The problem is the guard route. The location of the guards guarding the mansion has been decided, but they have not been able to find out the route or travel time.
It was difficult to fully grasp their behavior in just a week.
Some walk fast, some are slow, some are lazy, and some sleep secretly.
‘It’s not like I’ll be in and out every day anyway…. If there’s an obscure guy, let’s put him to the surface.’
Seeing one or two of them dozing off, you would never guess that an intruder had arrived.
The sleeping guy will get caught and be cursed at by Djila, but….
First of all, the first target was Karin.
Armonia started to tell me the information it found out about Karin, that target.
[When Lena and Beatrice sneaked in, she was able to get a piece of information about Karin Brandtrup.]
‘Five… What information?’
I asked in a voice mixed with anticipation.
However, the answer Armonia gave was absurd.
[It is said that more than one person died or was crippled after entering Karin Brandrup’s room.]
