Chapter 544 – 544. Maehwa Swordsman Reincarnated in the Count Family
544. Maehwa Swordsman Reincarnated in the Count Family
「Advice: Get up.」
I got up at the advice message.
5 am. I woke up at a time when it wasn’t bright enough yet. I was a butler, so I couldn’t help it.
‘…… I’m used to going to bed early and waking up early. Even this cramped butler’s uniform feels comfortable now.’
I checked the butler’s clothes for wrinkles and left the room. I checked my surroundings while feeling the cool air. It was only yesterday that I moved into the dormitory, so it was still a bit unfamiliar.
「Advice: Finish cleaning and prepare breakfast.」
I prepared breakfast as advised. When I ate it, it was a mediocre dish, but when others ate it, it was a dish that looked like a royal chef.
「Advice: Wake up the princess and serve.」
It was especially busy because there were no other employees. Still, it was comfortable because Yuria was cooperative.
I looked out the window as I brushed her blue-silver hair. In front of the front door on the first floor, I saw three noble ladies and three servants a little further away. 3 young ladies, 1 butler, 2 maids.
“You are waiting for the princess. We have to do it quickly.”
“It’s okay. Take it slow. They’re just waiting on their own. There is no reason to care about them. I don’t want to be interrupted this time.”
She even finished arranging her hair perfectly.
“Do you like it?”
“Yes. Nice It is spotless.”
“… Princess. I would like to receive an award.”
“You mean from morning? You are greedy. However… I’m in a good mood today, so I accept the award.”
“Thank you.”
He gently held YuRia’s waist and cheek and kissed her. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that me and her had done everything except her sex. Her kisses are nothing.
Her lips parted. It seems to be true that she felt good seeing her allow her tongue, which she rarely allowed. He stuck his tongue out and focused on her kiss. She sucked her tongue and ate her saliva. As she grew more and more, her hand on her waist was about to go down to her hip, when her hand pressed against my chest.
“This is it.”
“… Yes. Princess. The hem of her skirt is a little disheveled.”
Started climbing. Yuria has 3 of her friends… No, she walked confidently, leading three followers. She has to walk 15 minutes to the academy building. I followed the young ladies with the other servants in the back.
As time passed, more and more nobles went to school.
With nothing to do but walk, I listened to the murmur of noble materials.
“He is the heir to the Duke of Piltania…. Their appearance and gait are different…. I think you will long for it just by looking at it.”
“I had a brief conversation with you yesterday, and how beautiful your voice and tone were… If I were a man, I would have fallen for you.”
“I heard that Princess Yuria and Prince Farrain are engaged. Don’t you think they look really good together?”
Most of the noble ladies looked at Yuria with envy for her. The case of men was no different. However, there is darkness in the gaze.
“Oh. That is the Prince of Farrain. Such a coincidence…. Could this be fate?”
He was a handsome man with golden hair. The green eyes were sparkling and gave a soft impression. A real prince who looks like a prince from a fairy tale. And Yuria’s fiancé.
“There is also Jorsen-nim, the heir to the Cellbreeze count family!”
It was a tall man with blue hair. His face is handsome and his body is muscular. Judging from the momentum he feels, he is a force that cannot be ignored.
“Isn’t that Prince Matisse, the next prime minister candidate?!”
He was a man with black hair and a sharp look. He is a man who seems to have at least mysophobia because he frowns between his eyebrows.
“The famous handsome men of the kingdom have gathered together!”
“Ah! I’m thrilled! I never thought this day would come… !”
“… But who is the young lady in the middle?”
“I know. This is Miss Mary, the daughter of Viscount Komotops.”
“Why is Miss Mary among them? Like… “
“It looks like three men clinging to Miss Mary.”
I looked at the woman named Mary.
Brilliant golden hair. Big eyes that look cute and a smile and atmosphere that reminds me of summer. She was a beauty, but she was a common beauty. Her waist was slim, but her breasts were B-cups at best and her pelvis was average. It was a bit far from my liking.
‘… But why do those three men seem to be obsessed with a woman like that?’
In particular, I couldn’t understand Prince Farrain. She doesn’t even look at the far more beautiful Yuria, only looking at Mary.
“Merry! There is a good dessert shop outside the academy. Would you like to go with me after class?”
“Really? I love that dessert! And how can I refuse the prince’s invitation!”
“I need an escort outside the academy. Please leave the escort to me.”
“I am also interested in desserts. Sweet food energizes the brain. I will be with you.”
“… Can’t you guys go separately?”
As time goes by, the hum gets worse. The reason is because of that crowd. The atmosphere here and there was clearly different.
Mary’s eyes met hers. Mary looked at me and smiled. Probably just laughing for no big reason.
YuRia looked back at them for a moment. However, she passed by as if she wasn’t interested. She didn’t even say hello to Prince Farrain.
‘It’s not good.’
My predictions were right.
“Isn’t Prince Farrain engaged to Princess Yuria… ?”
“It’s like a stranger with no relationship. What happened between the two of you?”
“If Prince Farrain is taken away by Miss Mary….”
The buzz turned into whispers. The reputations of Yuria and Prince Farrain were falling in real time. The prince would say so. He has nothing to lose as he has no right to inherit the throne. He, however, is different from YuRia, who will become the duke.
‘I’m just a butler, so I can’t do anything.’
I only frowned.
Later, just before she and Yuria briefly parted ways, she asked her.
“Princess. Weird rumors will circulate. Have to deal with it somehow….”
“Nothing has happened yet. You shouldn’t move recklessly just because of something like this. If Prince Parrain also has an idea, he will cope.”
“Yes. I’ll watch it for now.”
•••
While Yuria was taking lessons at her academy, I was able to get some free time.
‘Lunch will be eaten at the restaurant… They also have afternoon classes, so you can pick them up in the evening…. Shall we take a nap?’
「Advice: Clean the house.」
“I still have a lot of time, so just take a nap….”
「Advice: Clean the house.」
“… I get it. Okay.”
I did the cleaning as advised. There was no particular reward.
Most of my daily life after coming to the academy was like this. When I was in the castle, I was occasionally given assassination missions, but now I only do simple errands for Yuria.
And as time went on, I felt things getting weirder.
“Mr. Eugene. I heard that Princess Farrain was taken away by Miss Mary… Is it true? I know it’s a rude question. However… My lady urged me to come in for an answer….”
“It is nonsense. The engagement has never been broken. What do you mean by being robbed?”
“Ah. It was a rumor.”
Many servants asked me about the rumors. I replied that it was all nonsense.
However, the rumors grew worse as the days passed, but they did not subside.
Instead of correcting the rumors, Prince Farrain stood by. His attitude further fueled the rumors.
And when a few more days passed. Rumors were circulating that YuRia and Mary had become fierce enemies due to their love fight.
When Mary was involved, the Prince of Parrain threw away his old attitude and moved aggressively.
The problem is that his actions only add credibility, far from eliminating rumors.
“Princess. It’s clear that someone is spreading rumors with malicious intent. Are you going to stay still like this?”
“Rumors are just rumors.”
“You know very well that if you use rumors well, you can bring down even nobles. … Are you trying to use rumors to break up your engagement?”
“Recently, I have been focusing on Prince Farrain. I thought breaking off the marriage would be more helpful to the family.”
“Won’t His Excellency the Duke be angry?”
“Her mother’s place will soon be mine.”
The Duchess said not to worry.
But I couldn’t stay still.
‘This chapter is probably related to this rumor. If I sort out the rumors or find the culprit who is spreading the rumors, I’ll be able to move on to the next chapter.’
Even if Yuria doesn’t cooperate, she should investigate the rumors alone.
•••
“Princess Yuria and Lady Komotops fought while holding their hair, but Prince Farrain stopped them in the middle, right?”
“Oh….”
The maids were talking about rumors. They looked at me and tensed up for a moment.
“Yu, Mr. Eugene….”
“May I ask more about the rumor?”
“I-I don’t know either. I heard….”
“Who did you hear from?”
“That is…. From Matilda, who works in the kitchen….”
He acted step by step, as if chasing the footprints of an animal on the forest floor. There was no need to move too hastily. If things don’t seem to work, you can just loop.
Couldn’t kill
When a murder case occurs within the academy, the situation gets out of control.
‘A total of 11 suspected suspects. There is no evidence. But circumstances are saying they are the culprits. There are 3 servants and 8 nobles. It’s not easy to deal with even if you know the culprit.’
The motive was easily guessed.
I’m jealous
Since Yuria is so good, she inflates rumors about her out of jealousy.
Whenever I had free time, I went around collecting evidence that the girls couldn’t hide.
Along the way, I met Mary.
Behind the academy, it’s a small forest road, but people call it a back garden. I met Mary by chance here.
“Are you Yu-jin, Princess Yuria’s butler? What are you doing here?”
“Did you know me?”
“Eugene is famous. The most outstanding butler. Rumor has it that if he hadn’t been the butler of the Piltania family, he could have become a nobleman. Ah, speaking of rumors, the rumors with Princess Yuria…. Ha…. I don’t know why the rumor spread, but Princess Yuria is very upset, right? Since I think it’s a rumor because of me, can I go and apologize in person?”
Seeing Mary in person, she talked a lot.
But I couldn’t focus on her words. Her gaze and my mind were on the black cat she held in her arms.
The feeling was unusual.
“Mary. That cat….”
“Isn’t it cute? It’s always been around here. I want to take him and raise him… The owner might be there, so I come to see him whenever I have time like this.”
“Advice: Cats are monsters. Kill me.”
“Mary! Put down the cat and come over here! It is a monster wearing a cat’s mask!”
“Yes?”
Mary’s eyes widened. She opened her eyes wide in disbelief and looked at the cat in her arms.
Meow.
The black cat jumped up in Mary’s arms. The cat’s body swells and grows. Curiously, the black cat did not fall to the ground and was sitting in the air.
The huge cat raises its huge arms. It was a preliminary move to hit Mary.
“Advice: Save Mary.”
I kicked off the floor and jumped at Mary.
“Kyaaaaa?!”
Grabbing her by the shoulders, he evaded the cat’s attack by lying on her side.
“Don’t try to run away, just stay still. It’s easier to keep that way.”
The black cat’s slit pupils turned this way.
Paper weave.
I, who caused a thunderbolt in my hand, rushed at the cat. The black cat meowed for a long time.
In an instant, my sense of balance disappeared and my vision shook. The cat swings his front paw with his claws raised at me.
“Mr. Eugene!!”
I braced my lower body and received the cat’s attack with both hands. The toenails dug into the arm and bled. He hit the tip of the cat’s nose with his kick.
Nyaang!
The boy was embarrassed and shook his head. I didn’t miss that little gap.
“It’s time for an electric bath.”
Jiji Jiji Jiji Jik!
It caused a thunderbolt at maximum output.
