Chapter 449 – Chapter 449 Magic School Shutra (3-60)
Louis headed to where Jeff was, with high hopes that he might have woken up.
The place Louis was headed was not a dungeon with a dreary aura, but a room with a similar atmosphere to the room he was staying in.
In front of the door of the room where he arrived, two soldiers were standing guard with spears, creating a solemn atmosphere.
As soon as they saw Louis, they immediately started saluting and asking business.
“Louis, what are you doing?”
“I came here because I wanted to go in for a while.”
“All right. In case of any unforeseen circumstances, I….”
“No, I will go in alone. You’re sick anyway What can you do to me when you wake up?”
“Ah, I see. Then….”
“… ?”
As Louis entered through the door opened by the soldier, he began to doubt the look on his face.
‘What? Am I scared Why are you trembling like that while looking at me?’
On previous visits to Atler, Lewis had noticed the tension in the soldiers.
However, their reaction on this visit was quite different from before.
It looked like fear, not tension.
‘Heh… Is it like going to Stra?’
Lewis wasn’t particularly offended by the soldiers’ attitude toward him.
The aristocrat in Lewis’s mind was not the object of the envy and admiration of the common people.
It was to imprint them as beings who reign and conquer.
Like the existence of a dimension that can never be crossed….
In that sense, the attitude of the soldiers toward Lewis was that they felt that fear was preferable.
“Those guys don’t matter right now. First….”
Upon entering the room, Louis turned to Jeff, who was lying on the bed.
He had white bandages wrapped around his body.
Louise’s annoyance and anger began to rise before pity at his appearance.
There was anger about attacking his mother, but the important thing for him right now was to keep his mouth shut.
‘Why am I going through such hardships because of this bastard? .’
The reason Lewis was good to Jeff was because of his money line as Count Potts and his revenge on Karin.
Lewis was thinking of Jeff as just a consumable for money and revenge.
But those expendables put him in a position to lose all his money and revenge, and even ruin his own standing.
‘I just need to close my mouth….’
All Lewis could do was keep his mouth shut about the moramine powder.
It was because there was enough room left to sort out the whole situation once that was resolved.
But that was a possible means when he awoke.
‘Can’t you wake up like this? No… Would you rather like it? If it doesn’t happen, if this guy is responsible for the fan Seong Su-ho… Everything is okay, right?’
No matter how much he was greeted as a hero, if he was branded as a murderer of an aristocrat, there was a high possibility that he would not be able to stay in Levin any longer.
‘If you send them to Stratra using that as an excuse, me and Luna….’
It was a moment when he smiled happily, expecting to be alone with Luna like that.
“Turn it off….”
“….”
Louis groaned and cursed inwardly as he watched Jeff toss and turn.
‘Fuck you bastard… Nothing helps.’
Jeff’s moans signaled the possibility that his body would return to normal even if he didn’t wake up right away.
And the possibility soon materialized.
“Big… Hey, where are you?”
“….”
Lewis wanted to use magic to end Jeff’s breath right away.
But at that moment, he knew things would get worse, soheheld back and started answering his questions.
“Are you awake? Sir Jeff?”
“Lu, Sir Louis!?”
“….”
Jeff’s condition had already been visited earlier and he had heard everything from the doctors.
For a while, it was said that he would not be able to urinate alone, let alone move his body.
‘Let’s calm down for now. There’s no use in getting excited. You have to be gentle with the conversation. For now, it’s better not to find out what happened.’
Louis quickly performed his silence magic and opened his mouth to Jeff with a look of deep disappointment.
“Sir Jeff, I am disappointed. That you did that….”
“What is that?”
Lewis was reluctant and began to get right to the point.
He told him all the stories about Jeff’s scandal that now circulated around the castle.
After hearing Lewis’ explanation, Jeff started to deny it while having a seizure even though he had bandages all over his body.
“I-I didn’t do that!”
“….”
Jeff protested, and he began to explain what had happened to him as briefly as possible.
After having a drink with Karin, he just woke up in Anna’s closet….
“After all, the fact that you’re in the closet doesn’t change.”
“I really don’t know! I never meant to.”
“… Okay. I will trust Sir Jeff.”
At Lewis’ words, Jeff began to cheer while shaking in bandages.
“Yeah, that’s Sir Louis too! After all, there is only Sir Louis on my side!”
“I trust Sir Jeff. Instead, Sir Jeff has something to do.”
“… ?”
“Hide the source of moramine powder as much as possible.”
Lewis put on a nice face to Jeff and asked him to keep as quiet as possible about the moramine powder he had given him.
However, Jeff couldn’t answer easily despite Lewis’ request that was close to his order.
“Well, if that happens… Couldn’t I be seen as a person with really strange intentions? If it was given to me by Sir Louis….”
“On the contrary, if you tie me up, there will be no one to defend you. I am saying this for you.”
“Yeah, that’s right! Such a deep meaning… All right!”
Louis could barely breathe a sigh of relief after hearing Jeff’s answer.
‘Whew… A naked cub. Once you deny it once, it’s not difficult the next time. If the testimony comes and goes, people won’t accept it as the truth from then on.’
When giving a defense or testimony related to a crime, if the story keeps changing, the credibility of the words and actions will be lost.
Lewis was intent on destroying the sincerity of Jeff’s statements by making them incoherent.
If things go according to plan, Jeff, who was abandoned by Lewis later, will be turned away from people even if he spits out the truth belatedly.
‘I’m glad we could talk like this. It would have been dangerous if this guy woke up later and was under pressure from Karin and her father and fired me….’
Louis was relieved and was about to leave the room, leaving Jeff behind.
“Then I will go out and call the councilor. I will come back tomorrow.”
“Now, wait a minute! Sir Lewis! Ha, I have something to say!”
“… ?”
Louis stopped his steps and walked over to Jeff and looked at him.
It was annoying, but first of all, it was important to please Jeff, so Louis started to listen to him.
“Lou, Sir Louis…. That I didn’t do that… Will you believe me?”
“Sure.”
Louis forced a smile on the outside, but on the inside he was bitter.
‘Everything went wrong because of you. Believe it or not, you’re out.’
He thought to himself as he looked at the restless Jeff.
Frustrated by Jeff’s hesitant behavior, Louis spoke first.
“If you need anything, feel free to tell me.”
“I was going to talk about it later when people get together, but… For now, I think it would be best to tell the whole truth only to Sir Louis, who is on my side.”
“All the facts?”
“Lou, Sir Louis…. Seong Soo-ho… I’ve found a weakness that could send him to the grave forever.”
“Is that really!?”
Lewis showed an excited look he hadn’t shown to Jeff before, and he approached Jeff’s face, which was wrapped in bandages.
“What! Please tell me what it is!”
“That, that… It is so absurd that you may not believe it.”
“I will believe you unconditionally! Hurry! What did you find out!?”
“That… That is….”
Jeff began to calmly explain the part where he woke up in Anna’s closet.
However, he did not include his private parts in the explanation.
It contained only the story of the orgy of three people that resonated in the room.
Louis, who had the expectation that he could completely bury Seongsuho, began to grow darker the more he listened to Jeff’s words.
And last….
“The Duchess and Lady Karin… I didn’t see it that way, but I was struggling with one man….”
“That, stop….”
“I don’t know how two women can behave so vulgarly towards a man!”
Jeff didn’t hear Louise’s cold voice and started swearing at the two women in excitement.
“They even made me insane and tried to bury me in an aristocratic society! Dare to the subject of women begging cocks while shaking their hips at ordinary people! Bitches like prostitutes….”
“Hawk… Prostitution….”
Jeff’s last words acted as a switch that erased Louis’ reason.
Lewis immediately….
“This bastard dares to insult my mother!!!”
After getting on Jeff’s body as he lay on the bed, he began punching him in the face mercilessly.
Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!
“Gagging! Lou, Sir Louis! Now, hold on! Not that! Kkeke!”
“I will kill you! I will kill you!! I will kill you!!!”
“Gagging! Wait a minute! Aww! That, stop!”
Louis’ fists did not stop, and thanks to his wild fists, the sound insulation magic spread around him disappeared.
As a result, Lewis’s excited voice was transmitted to the guard who was standing guard outside….
“Um, what a fuss… Lou, Mr. Louis!”
“I will kill you! How dare you insult her mother like that!”
“Dry quickly! Hurry!”
Jeff’s second beating was stopped when the guards burst into the room and stopped Louis.
..
..
Next day.
Louis couldn’t calm his mind even as he watched the sunset, and threw up his anger.
“A bastard like a dog… How dare you insult your mother?”
Due to Lewis’ beating the day before, Jeff lost consciousness again, and Lewis was ordered to be confined to the guest room along with the Duke’s admonition.
However, the reason he was placed under arrest was not because he had committed a crime, but only because the Duke ordered him to calm his excitement.
However, Louis, who had received the Duke’s order, was quietly waiting in his room all day looking out the window.
Looking out the window, Louis recalled what Jeff had said yesterday.
(Sung Su-ho, that bastard coveted the bodies of the Duchess and Lady Karin to his heart’s content!)
(The image of the two women shaking their butts while acting cute to Seong Soo-ho…)
(Women like prostitutes….)
Crunchy!
Lewis began grinding his teeth hard, recalling his last words.
He calmed his teeth, which had been grinding for a while, and remembered Jeff, who was bandaging himself inside.
‘You trash bastard… It must have provoked me.’
From Lewis’ point of view, the fact that Anna was embraced by Sung Soo-ho was not at a level that was unbelievable, but at a level where such a sentence shouldn’t have been made in the first place.
Jeff had even said that Karin was there as well as Anna alone.
It was a story that made no sense at all.
The duchess and the duke’s daughter struggled together in the arms of commoners, not separately?
It was such a ridiculous story that even slash-and-burn farmers without nationality treated it like a madman.
There was no way Louis would accept a story that could not even be used as a common people gossip.
‘Bitch… It must have noticed that I was about to cut my tail, and was trying to get out of the situation by provoking me. I won’t let you go.’
As Louis was contemplating what to do with Jeff, someone knocked on the door.
Knock, Knock, Knock.
“Yes?”
After being confined to a room, the only people who came to see him were the attendants bringing meals.
Not only his family, but even his beloved Luna didn’t come to visit him.
There was no lack of regret, but at least it was fortunate that I could not show someone this excited look.
As I was silent with such complicated feelings, a knock sounded again on the door.
Knock, Knock, Knock.
(This is Seongsuho’s attendant.)
“Come in.”
As soon as Louis knew her identity, he called her into her room.
There were not just one or two attendants in the ducal family.
Among the many attendants, most of the attendants who entertain guests do not take on important tasks that are not particularly noticeable.
The servants in front of Louise were no different from the servants walking around the house.
Even so, the reason he responded immediately to the word Seongsuho’s attendant was because he remembered the orders given to the attendant.
“Did you come to report something?”
“Yes, it is a story about Seong Soo-ho’s actions.”
“Tell me.”
“Recently, you have been having frequent meetings with Lady Karin.”
It was a story about two people who hadn’t spoken a word before arriving in Atler, but after accompanying them on a mission to rescue the Viscount, they quickly developed a close friendship after returning.
They even talked about having a tryst in Karin’s room at night.
Upon hearing the attendant’s words, Louis asked back in bewilderment.
“Really?”
“Yes, but since he bit me during the tryst, nothing more was found out.”
“Where is he now?”
“You went for a walk with Lady Karin earlier. Maybe… ”
“… ?”
The attendant paused for a moment, then strained her eyes and looked at Louise with deep eyes.
“I think we will have a tryst in Lady Karin’s room tonight.”
“….”
“And currently, there are no guards assigned to Seong Su-ho and Lady Karin’s room.”
“Hmm….”
Lewis wondered.
The story of having a tryst in Karin’s room was more interesting to him than he thought.
Louis had never even crossed the threshold of Karin’s doorstep in his life.
Her room was always full of traps, and even her parents didn’t let anyone inside her mansion.
‘No matter how old it is… Didn’t they come to Atler and set up traps?’
Louise nodded her head, and she began ordering the attendant again.
“During this time, you should look inside Seong Soo-ho’s room to see if there is anything important.”
“All right.”
“If you find out anything, report it tomorrow.”
“All right.”
After Louise saw the attendant disappear as she left with her answer, she started to smile viciously as she got up.
“Then I… In the meantime, I’ll have to search her room.”
