Chapter 540 – 540. Maehwa Swordsman Reincarnated in the Count Family
540. Maehwa sword reincarnated in the count family
“Advice: Take out the butler’s uniform from the closet, put it on, and go out of the building.”
“…….”
I raised my right hand and stroked my neck.
The feeling of having my throat cut was not good even with empty words. It is all the more so because this world is fake and the senses are the same as reality.
However, the psychological shock was greater than the pain in the neck.
‘Yuria is ignoring me!’
I thought that Yuria would treat me with all her heart, anytime, anywhere, and under any circumstances. I had never imagined that she would show her cold side to me.
“…….”
I was in a daze, then got up and headed for the closet.
I checked what I need to check.
Even if YuRia doesn’t remember me now, she will eventually see the end of this world and return to the original world.
‘I’ll have to take it a little more seriously.’
•••
“I want to see the faces of the butlers who will become members of our family. Look up.”
Said the Duchess of Piltania.
She raised her head. Behind the Duchess was Yuria. Different from before. She didn’t pretend to know Yuria. Even if she pretended to know, she would just come out like a round and her copan’s neck would be blown off.
“Hmm. They are all talented people. Please grow up like this and support the family.”
The little girl looked around her and walked towards me.
“No. 21.”
“Yes. Your Excellency the Duke.”
She said, “I heard you are the best. The atmosphere that I can definitely feel is different from others. There is dizziness in the eyes, and the tight mouth looks very heavy.”
By the way, I was blankly doing nothing. He was staring blankly at YuRia.
The misunderstanding of this duchess can be said to be in a similar context to when I cooked.
“Thank you.”
“If it were you, you might end up working at your home. If it grows like this, it can be used as an escort for Yuria.”
“I will definitely live up to your expectations.”
The princess looked around her prospective butlers once more and took a step back.
“Yuria. Do you have anything to say to them?”
“… Perhaps they will lead the family with me. Please be a competent butler.”
That was all.
The Duchess and Yuria left the room. However, the vassals remained and asked various questions. Most of them were questions about the history of Philtania.
“No. 21. The Piltania family has been growing fiercely. There were times when I was deprived of the duchy and demoted. Do you know how far it was stolen?”
Originally, I would not have been able to answer this question.
Probably restarted a few times. However, advice started to help me.
「Advice: Filtania once fell to the Viscount.」
“Even the viscount’s stomach was taken away.”
“Do you know how long it took to regain the dukedom again?”
「Advice: 64 years and 2 months.」
“64 years and 2 months.”
“You know perfectly well. It is also number 21.”
“Hmm. Isn’t that the history everyone knows? This time I will ask a question.”
The retainers were very interested in me.
It was a fact that I learned later, but there were quite a few cases where he was a servant among his vassals, but became a vassal through achievement. Of course, even so, the baron is the limit.
•••
“There is no water to drink. Always have water ready just in case. No. 21. You go to the kitchen and get some water.”
Copan said, handing me a bucket of water.
Fast.
Copan, this asshole makes you feel the urge to kill every time you see it.
“No. 21. What are you doing? Can’t you move fast, fast? I would normally have told you not to get carried away.”
“Going. Yes. Going.”
“For a moment! You’re not going to go out dressed like that, are you? Dress properly and go out! Don’t forget your position! Number 21!!”
“…….”
The intent to kill soared. However, Copan widened his eyes as if he didn’t sense my murderous intent at all.
‘Fuck. If I kill it, only I will lose.’
I changed into my butler’s uniform and left the room.
The hallway was dark. The small lamp on the wall was too weak to illuminate the entire hallway. I can barely figure out the way.
‘The castle is incredibly wide. The last palace I went to wasn’t even like this. Why are the roads so twisted like a maze?’
Washing the dishes in the kitchen earlier in the evening helped. If it wasn’t for that, I would have been wandering around looking for the kitchen.
“Khehehehe.”
I heard a laugh somewhere. It’s a small sound that I wouldn’t have heard if the surroundings weren’t quiet.
I stopped for a moment. I currently have the lowest status in this castle. If you run into someone, get out of the way immediately and lower your face.
“Look at this. It’s a drink I got from the west 15 years ago. Look at the color Aren’t you bright?”
Hehe. You’re drunk I never thought I would bring out such a treasure.”
It was a voice I had heard.
These are the voices of the vassals of the Duke of Piltania who had been bombarding me with questions a few hours ago.
“I have to take it out on a day like this. Or when will you take it out? From tomorrow, you will be banned from drinking for a while, so shouldn’t you be sure to drink it now?”
“… Tsk. You are really drunk. Don’t you see that the work hasn’t even started yet?”
The conversation wasn’t serious.
Feeling curious, I killed the presence and approached the path where the voice was heard. The door was closed tight. But a voice comes through the crack in the door.
Hehe. It’s as if things have already been successful. Tomorrow Princess Yuria will die. Now, toast.”
“You are crazy. It’s crazy. What if someone hears… Uh huh, if you fill up your glass, it will be bitter. People have no affection.”
“Oops. I’m sorry. It must have been because I was drunk and couldn’t see very well.”
I put my ear close to the door. Will Yuria die? Words that cannot be heard.
“Big~. I’m killing you I drank this much as a toast, so everything will work out in the future.”
“But do I really have to kill the princess?”
“Uh huh. Look at this guy Are you bringing up a conversation we already had?”
“Isn’t Gongnyeo a genius? Even if she has ten more years from now, she will be the greatest head of household ever.”
“It is as you say. Gongnyeo is competent. The problem is being too competent. What have we done in the past year? Now, His Excellency of the Duke moderately closes his eyes, but I’m not a princess.”
“Wouldn’t the princess be treated appropriately like His Excellency? We have been devoted to the Piltania family for over 50 years.”
“Kuhhh…. You don’t know how strong the princess is, so she can say that. If she had seen that face in person… Flaw…. See my arms tremble You’re drinking more.”
“Let’s see…. When the princess dies, the next succession rank is….”
“He is the son of the Duke’s younger brother. He’s a moderately competent person, so there’s nothing to lean on from his family. Even if he is incompetent, would he be inclined to stay with ushehe.”
“There will be no betrayal by the victim, right?”
“I was definitely bewitched. The sous chef stole the Duke’s underwear in the past… Flaw… I am ashamed to speak with my own mouth.”
“Her…. If His Excellency knows, I won’t end it with the death penalty.”
“So this time I will die cleanly. I will eat the same poison as the princess.”
“Drake Steakney dinner will be sure… Yes?”
“Why but?”
“Wait a minute and see.”
The door opened and a red-faced old man came out and looked around. There was a strong smell of alcohol.
“Ugh. It was just my mood.”
Widely.
The door is closed.
I was stuck on the ceiling and quietly came down to the floor.
“Isn’t this drinking too much?”
“It’s okay. I already got a good hangover medicinehehe. With that medicine, no one will know we’ve been toasted. Now, relax and drink!”
I heard everything I heard I walked away from the door
「Advice: Go to Princess Yuria.」
“Aha. You want me to go tell YuRia exactly what I heard?”
If you tell Yuria what you heard, you will be trusted.
‘The problem is that it’s far away from where YuRia is.’
There, Yuria is a princess. Where Yuri is, the knights are fiercely vigilant.
‘There’s no way the knights will let me go this late at night, and I’m not in the position to meet Yuria just because I miss them…. I have to sneak in.’
She had herself
Her body is young, but her physical abilities are intact. It’s not difficult to sneak in because you haven’t forgotten the Yeongcheon Ryu. Even though there was no illusionist whose body became invisible because he couldn’t use the inventory, he was confident.
‘…… Is it really necessary to follow the advice?’
Advice is the correct answer. If you look at it up to now, you can’t deny it because you’ve always said the right answer.
But what if there is a more accurate answer than advice?
‘Advice is just advice. I’m not forcing my actions.’
I smiled and headed to the kitchen.
When I went back to my room with the water, Copan was frowning and glaring at me.
“Why are you so late? Was it that hard to get the water?”
“…… Sorry.”
Copan. This bitch sucks again. I’m afraid of thunder.
•••
The dawn was bright.
Having been running around since dawn, I asked the guy in the kitchen to guess the timing. When the time came, I immediately ran.
“Number 21!!! What are you doing! Stop right now! That’s His Excellency the Duke’s… !!”
A contemplative Copan follows me from behind. Slow. You can’t catch me at that speed.
Knights stood at the door of the restaurant. They didn’t panic in the sudden situation and took the sword first. They were trustworthy knights. Feeling afraid, Copan did not dare to approach my location.
I shouted with all my mana and knelt down in front of the knights.
“Your Excellency the Duke! Princess! I have something to say at the risk of my life!!”
The knights flinched. Instead of killing me, they pointed a sword at my neck.
The restaurant door opened.
“Speak with your life…. Good night. Come in However, if it is trivial, you will pay the price for ridiculing me.”
The permission of the Duchess of Filtaria has been granted. The knights reaped their swords. I stood up, entered the dining room proudly, and knelt in front of the Duchess.
Inside the splendid restaurant, the servants, the chef, and the assistant chef stood up.
Meal hasn’t started yet. The timing was right.
“Tell me. What have you come for?”
The Duchess said in a cold tone. Of course, that doesn’t mean I’m intimidated.
“Some of the vassals planned to poison the princess! The sous chef is their minion!”
Before Duke Yeo could say anything, the servants around her moved and subdued the sous chef. The sous chef urgently tried to bite his teeth, but one of the servants grabbed his chin.
“Dismissal. There’s a poisoned pouch in the sous-chef’s mouth.”
The little girl distorted her face. However, Yuria, who was actually the victim of the poisoning, just looked at me without any change in her expression.
Haha. When you do something good, everyone should know.’
“Your appetite has gone down. The meal is done. Check out poisonous foods. And call your vassals Those who do not respond to the call must be cut off and brought back.”
The knights and servants were busy moving.
“Your loyalty is great. But the question remains. Tell me how you found out about this.”
I lied proudly.
To tell the truth, he was sure to ask why he hadn’t reported right away last night. It’s okay to lie here.
The culprit, the sous chef, was caught anyway. The words I spit out have credibility even if they are lies.
“It was this morning. As a prospective butler, I went to the kitchen to help with the work. I found the sous chef there, but he was behaving strangely….”
I’m sorry.
I deliberately lengthened my words to appeal to my greatness. To sum up, I accidentally noticed the sous-chef’s strangeness, happened to see the sous-chef and his vassals meeting, felt strange, investigated the sous-chef’s kitchen, found poison, and ran like this. Explained.
‘Well. That’s a little fake. It doesn’t matter if you lie anyway. I just need to start over.’
I had my next chance. Then you just have to move a little more thoroughly.
‘But it won’t be a problem. Because….’
This world is not real.
If you act plausible, you’ll get over it. Look Doesn’t the Duchess nod and agree with my lie?
“Whoa…. It’s about time.”
The Duchess’ words smelled of thick blood.
