Chapter 609 – Chapter 609 Magic School Shutra (4)
After the light of the warp was withdrawn, as soon as I opened my eyes, I heard a woman’s voice next to me.
“Are you here? Master.”
I whispered in response to the woman’s voice.
“Lena. It’s been a lot of trouble. Thank you so much.”
It was a sincere statement.
Before leaving for Levin, I summoned Lena and asked her a favor.
That is, to find out the location of Count Potts who started earlier.
Even if Count Potts made a forced march to Levin, there would be a limit to the distance that the wagon could go.
One day was enough for Lena, who could easily overcome even a galloping horse, to find Count Potts.
Lena listened to me and responded humbly, with her pink hair tucked down either side of her.
“It is a matter of course for the sake of the master.”
“I am grateful for that.”
“… Thank you.”
After an atmospheric conversation with Lena, I turned her head to check the surroundings.
From about 100 meters away, faint beams of light entered my eyes through the trees.
I could tell without asking Lena.
That this is the place where Count Potts and his party camp….
Lena calmly summarized the situation and told me.
“It must have been quite exhausting when I came to Atler, and it seems that we set up a minimum of guards and set up camp.”
“But… There are no bandits here.”
If you think that this place is the same as the northern part where thieves used to be, you are mistaken.
If there is a rumor that bandits are appearing here, not only Levin, but Atler and Potts counties will send troops as well.
If the thieves had heads, they wouldn’t be active between Levin and Atler.
Ironically, such insensitivity made it easier for me to infiltrate.
Like Lena, I put on the perception-disabling cloak and walked slowly to Count Potts’ camp.
Even though the lights were getting brighter, I couldn’t feel the presence of people.
It wasn’t until we arrived right in front of the campsite that we realized why we couldn’t feel the presence of people.
‘… Sleeping spread out.’
The guards were openly sleeping with their backs against the trees.
[As Lena said earlier, I am tired, and I think it is because I judged that boundaries are meaningless.]
‘Well, it’s nice because it’s comfortable thanks to you, but….’
I thought so and moved closer to the tent with Lena.
All of Count Potts’ soldiers seemed to be really tired, and they were all snoring hard and sleeping.
At least there seemed to be no fear of being caught because of the sound.
Just like that, Lena and I were able to reach the tent where Count Potts was sleeping.
I was puzzled when I saw such a tent and looked around.
‘What about Jeff Potts?’
There was only one tent.
The rest was just the carriages parked in the distance.
However, a familiar temperament window was floating on the side of the wagon.
=====
Jeff Potts
[Indolence], [Conceit], [Vanity], [Ambition Addict]….
=====
[Jeff Potts appears to be in the back of the wagon.]
‘… It’s a real piece of baggage.’
Is it because of the idea that there is no need to put a fainting man to sleep in a tent?
I laughed and checked the tent.
And while looking at the entrance of the tent, I spilled words over the communication.
‘… Could this be a trap?’
It was such an absurd scene that I wondered if the situation I was seeing was real.
The two bodyguards at the entrance of the tent were sleeping openly, sitting on the floor.
No matter how tired you are, the count’s bodyguard is dozing….
[I think it’s because I’m really tired.]
‘Because it’s safe around there….’
It was an environment in which insecurity was inevitable.
I felt sympathy for them and went quietly into the tent.
Inside the tent….
“Aww… !”
Count Potts was lying on the bed, greeting me snoring.
“Kuuuuu… !”
“….”
I’m going to melt all my bronchial tubes….
It was on a different level from the snoring heard throughout the camp.
‘Ah, I really hate it.’
It wasn’t that Count Potts snoring that I hated.
It wasn’t that I hated breathing with that human.
There’s only one reason I don’t like it….
‘I don’t want to go into that bastard’s dream….’
Seeing Count Potts’ dream somehow seemed to taint my brain as well.
But after coming here, I can’t go back because of my whim….
I looked at Lena and said.
“Lena. If anything happens, don’t notice and wake me up.”
“All right.”
I believed Lena’s words and slowly lay down on the floor.
Let’s lie down like that….
“… Master. Lie down here comfortably.”
Lena knelt down and provided a pillow for her thigh.
As I smiled and laid her head on Lena’s lap, a grumbling voice came over her comm.
[If anyone sees it, they’ll think it’s a date.]
‘… I’ll use some pillows for Hannah later.’
[Wow… Who borrowed it?]
I shamelessly responded to Kang Han Na’s grumbling voice.
‘It’s already mine, so why borrow it?’
[… Huh.]
I started to close her eyes with a smile as I heard my strong snort.
..
..
As soon as I came out of the dream, my eyes opened.
“….”
I saw Lena in front of my eyes, and I heard Kang Han-na’s playful voice.
[Was Lena’s chubby pillow comfortable?]
‘….’
[… Excuse me?]
Right now, I wasn’t in the mood to accept Kang Han Na’s jokes at all.
I stood up and began to stare at Count Potts, who was snoring in front of me.
“Cheer up!”
“… Creepy.”
My teeth were chipped without my knowledge.
I felt like I wanted to jump right in and pluck out that pig’s tongue.
As I was silent, Kang Han Na’s voice came again.
[Perhaps I made a joke and got angry… ?]
It was only then that I realized what Kang Han Na had said while looking at her and apologized to her.
‘It’s not like that. Sorry.’
Armonia, who immediately grasped my mood, asked me.
[… Did you see something in your dream?]
‘Uh… I saw them all.’
Until now, I had thought that there was no root of all evil in this situation.
I just thought it was the result of the combined evil of Count Potts, Princess Iris, and some nobles who didn’t know yet who were trying to eat the Stadtfeld family.
By the way… I knew it after seeing Count Potts’ dream.
There was a starting point that made this situation.
I muttered as I looked at the temperament window in the distance.
“That kid was….”
Just as I was looking at the temper window outside the tent, I heard a sound from outside the tent.
(Hey, are you insane? Sleeping in front of the Count’s tent?)
(Ha -am … No one is anyway.)
(Crazy bastard…)
It seemed that the timing of the shift was not good.
I heard the bodyguard’s voice and spoke over the radio.
‘Armonia. Let’s go back.’
[All right.]
Shallow light began to radiate around Lena and me.
Even while riding the warp, I muttered as I glared at the disposition window in the distance.
“Please wait. I will make you realize how happy it is to die.”
And at the same time as I murmured, the substrate window was covered by the light and disappeared.

Jeff Potts
[Indolence], [Conceit], [Vanity], [Ambition Addict]….

..
..
After returning to the original camp in the warp, he went straight to Karin.
Fortunately, Karin wasn’t sleeping yet, so I started asking her questions.
“Please tell Levin Kingdom about the successor.”
“… Heir?”
Karin looked more puzzled at my question than my sudden visit.
When he suddenly asked about the royal family, he seemed suspicious.
However, apart from her question, Karin began to answer honestly.
“First of all, there are two official heirs.”
1st Prince, Dominique Levine.
2nd Prince, Alexander Levin.
It was unexpected.
Iris Levin’s name did not come out of Karin’s mouth.
When I put on a questioning expression, Karin immediately understood and answered.
“Princess Iris is too young to be the successor, and above all… It lacks authenticity.”
“… Authenticity?”
Karin immediately turned her head to my question, looked around her, then put her lips to my ear and said in a muffled voice.
“Princess Iris is the youngest daughter.”
“… Are you a young woman?”
Speaking of the daughter-in-law, it simply meant the daughter of a concubine.
“Yes. It’s a child born between Her Majesty and the Queen’s maid.”
“Huh….”
“It’s not a secret, but don’t talk about it anywhere. If it gets into Princess Iris’ ears, it’ll be annoying. Because Princess Iris is a real venom.”
Looking at Karin’s warning, it seemed that Iris was not an ordinary woman.
Even looking at her temperament window, she was like a poisonous breed.
But what about….
‘I’m going to go to hell with the Potts father and son that year.’
Princess Iris, like the Potts father and son, was booked into the hell tour course I was running.
It’s also first class….
Karin removed her lips from my ear and started her explanation again.
“Princess Iris has no interest in becoming her successor anyway. There is only one interest.”
“… ?”
“It’s Louis.”
“Wow….”
What’s good about such a stinkin’ guy….
Well, the royal family’s standards and mine can’t be the same.
She continued to listen to Karin, feeling pity for the poor standards of the royal family.
She said, “I heard she liked it since she was a kid. But Louis didn’t pay much attention even when he was young.”
“….”
As I listened to Karin’s words, the puzzle began to come together.
A fact that Count Potts couldn’t even know in his dream.
Why did Iris want Luna as her attendant….
‘So you knew that Louise liked her Luna and was trying to bully her.’
Iris was two years older than Louis and Luna.
Still, at that young age, she had committed such wicked things.
After that, she told me about the other two princes.
Once she said both princes were married, she said.
However, in terms of power, the current 2nd prince was completely defeated by the 1st prince.
The reason is….
“Princess Iris and Count Potts are the 1st Prince’s forces.”
“Ah….”
And if Princess Iris supported the first prince, Brandrup would naturally be on the first prince’s side.
Anna and Kai have long wanted Louis to marry a princess….
I was curious and asked.
“Is Karindo on the side of Prince 1?”
Karin answered after a brief silence.
“… It was.”
“… Really?”
“When I thought I was going to marry into the Potts family, I had no choice.”
“Ah….”
Even thinking about it again, I couldn’t believe that such a smart woman had been pursued by Count Potts.
Karin smiled and opened her mouth to lighten the moment that had subsided.
“But now it is different. It’s a year later than Louis, but if I go to Strau next year, the second prince will be much more helpful to me. Not to marry into the Potts family.”
He had already made plans for the future.
But what about….
‘Not only the Potts family, but the Potts family is going to disappear before summer vacation ends.’
In my hand….
I thought so and gently grinded my teeth.
The dream I saw earlier flickered before my eyes.
That beggarly dream….
After I hardened my expression and remained silent, Kang Han-na asked me.
[What the hell did you see in your dream?]
‘….’
I didn’t want to answer.
Because it was such an unpleasant scene that I don’t want to put it in my mouth.
I felt sorry for Kang Han-na, but I listened to Karin’s story without answering.
I came to a conclusion after listening to Karin’s story.
‘Earl Potts is related to Iris, and the two of them are related to Prince 1.’
Unfortunately, even Karin, who possessed such excellent intelligence, seemed to know nothing about the extinction of Stadtfeld.
In the first place, it must have been natural since it happened when she was in her prime, but….
After I got up, I thanked Karin.
“I’m sorry I came to you suddenly in the middle of the night. Then….”
“… Are you just going?”
Karin asked in such a way that she bet she would end it with her bare mouth.
I wanted to jump into bed with Karin right now.
However….
“When this is all over….”
I told Karin in a coercive manner.
“I won’t leave you alone then, so wait patiently.
“… I know.”
Karin seemed to understand.
No matter how much sound blocking magic was used, it was not good to see a man and a woman together for a long time in the middle of the night.
Now is the time to pay attention to the eyes of the people around you, so there is nothing wrong with it.
Karin opened her mouth, slipping her pajama skirt up with her hands.
“My arms are always ready to open for you. Come anytime.”
“… I see.”
I left Karin’s tent with a smile.
I asked Armonia on the way back to the tent.
‘Armonia, there’s no warp gauge right now, right?’
[That’s right. It takes at least 22 hours to charge 4 times.]
‘Great….’
[Are you planning to move somewhere else?]
I nodded her head as I went into my tent with Armonia’s question.
‘I’ll have to go to Levin’s kingdom tomorrow.’
Princess Iris.
Let’s see how pretty your face is.
