Chapter 548 – 548. Maehwa Swordsman Reincarnated in the Count Family
548. Maehwa Swordsman Reincarnated in the Count Family
Prince Farrain visited Yuria again.
He had a pale face the first time I saw him. Her blonde hair had lost her luster, and her eyes looked dangerous with obsession and madness.
“Help me.”
“What do you say without bottom or end?”
“Help Mary and I connect.”
“Wasn’t Lady Komotops the successor to Lord Jorsen? I was also there yesterday. It was spectacular.”
“…… I didn’t know that ignorant bastard could move so quickly.”
“Will the royal family stay still?”
“If it’s the royal family, I’ll take care of it myself. And this is about you too. What if… If you and I get married, I swear your life will be hell. I will make it like that!”
Despite her voice full of murderous intent, Yuria didn’t even raise an eyebrow.
“There’s not much to be gained by threatening me.”
“…… Are you not going to help me?”
“We are here to help. I have no intention of marrying the prince either. How can I help you?”
Prince Farrain let out a sigh of relief.
“Jorsen. You are seducing Jorsen. Jorsen liked you before he met Mary, so there’s a chance.”
“That is impossible. Lord Jorsen courted Miss Komotops in public. No matter what I say, I will not be shaken.”
“Shit! You want me to leave my hands alone and watch?!”
“I never said anything like that. Prince. Make allies.”
“Collaborator?”
“Isn’t there one more person who will have anger and hatred for Lord Jorsen like the prince?”
“…… Matisse. But will he cooperate with me? Potentially, he is my competitor.”
“If you stay like this, you can’t even compete. Chancellor Matisse is smart, so I will cooperate with the prince temporarily.”
“Cooperating. What should I do next?”
“We have to separate Lord Yorsen and the young lady. It brings down Lord Jorsen’s reputation and misleads both of them.”
“…… As I thought, you were a cold-blooded woman. What method will you use to sow misunderstandings?”
“She said she likes black tea.”
•••
Jorsen fought a duel with Matisse.
I didn’t go to the academy, so I didn’t see it with my own eyes, but I knew about the situation through rumors. Matisse provoked Jorsen, and Jorsen, who valued his honor, could not pass the provocation.
A battle ensues and Matisse is seriously injured.
No matter how much it was a duel, it happened at the academy. Moreover, it is said that Matisse suffered one-sidedly in the duel. Although Jorsen was able to subdue him, rumors spread that he deliberately wounded Mathis.
Rumors were inflated by someone maliciously, and the nobles treated Jorsen as a barbarian who wielded power recklessly.
Then, following YuRia’s order, I approached Merry.
“Mary. You left your handkerchief the other day.”
“Uh, huh? Was it?”
Of course not. The handkerchief is what I stole from Mary. Mary didn’t notice at all.
“Yes. And this is a gift. You gave me a cookie the other day. I remembered that time and prepared cookies.”
“Eugene’s cookies! I’m really looking forward to it!”
Mary smiled brightly and was delighted. My cooking skills were already rumored to be the best in the kingdom. Delightedly accepting my cookie, her leg slips and falls into my arms. Reflexively, I grabbed Mary by the waist.
“Mary. Are you okay?”
“Uh, ah…. Mi-I’m sorry.”
She fell on her back. But someone will be watching this spectacle.
“Didn’t you break your leg? In case you don’t know, I will help you.”
“No. It’s okay. It’s really fine!”
Starting with me, misunderstandings will be created and doubts will deepen. Moreover, she is a demonic woman who seduced 3 of the most handsome men in the academy at once. Jorsen, going through her rough times, must be feeling insecure.
Yuria didn’t stop there, but stimulated Yorsen’s family, Count Cellbreeze. She allowed rumors within the academy to flow outside.
As a result, Yorsen was summoned to the main house, and Mary was separated after receiving a unilateral notice to separate from the Countess of Cellbreeze. If Jorsen had been a little more assertive, her marriage might have been recognized, but he doubted the relationship between me and Mary.
Mary says she cried the whole time.
And Prince Farrain was delighted.
“Things worked out! It worked out great! Under pressure from his family, Jorsen dropped out of the academy and was taken to the military. He will never approach Mary again!”
“Things went well. But why did you come here? Comforting Miss Mary, who is heartbroken, should be the first priority.”
“Of course I want to. When I heard that Mary was crying, it broke my heart. However… We still have one guy to deal with. It turns out that there was a guy who went to Mary before me. Matisse. We need to keep him away from Mary like Jorsen. Then Mary will be completely mine.”
Prince Farrain became poisoned. It became so poisonous that he was completely different from the original Prince of Farrain.
“… Candidate for Chancellor Matisse is easier. He has his weaknesses.”
“Weakness?! What is that?!”
“The point is that he is a candidate for prime minister. He is closest to being chancellor, but he is only one of the candidates for prime minister. He has many other candidates as well.”
“You’re trying to drop him from the chancellor candidate. How?”
“The prime minister candidates each run a small guild. The performance of this upper rank has a great influence on the candidates for the chancellor award. Coax the subordinates under him into committing corruption. He will be held responsible for the sins committed by the High Commission.”
“Okay! Move right now!”
He jumped up and moved.
Matisse, Mary’s new lover, was officially executed a month later. And the next day. Prince Farrain came to visit.
“Thank you. Yuria. Thanks to you, I now know what politics is.”
The tone of Prince Farrain’s tone, which he hadn’t seen in a long time, had changed.
“…… It’s surprising that he was executed. Did you make him commit such a serious corruption?”
Yuria briefly frowned at her.
“It is not. As you said, I got interesting information when I moved to appease Matisse’s men. A demon control plan that the royal family was promoting. Matisse was responsible for the plan to tame the monsters and make them do what they want.”
“…… He is more capable than I thought.”
“Okay. He was so talented that the chancellor saw through his magical talents and adopted him. I mean, he was actually competent. But the chancellor had a lot of enemies. One of them was tipped off and Matisse was executed. Closed monster experiments were illegal, so there was no way to survive.”
“…… Why? His experiments will be of great help to the royal family.”
“How can I trust a bastard who is after my woman as a vassal? And even without such a plan, the royal family is alive and well.”
“There is also a way to just use it.”
“What if Mary’s virginity passed on to him during that time? I can’t stay sane with just that imagination.”
“There will be no competitors now, so the prince’s purpose has been achieved.”
“There is one thing left. Our breakup.”
“I will think of a way.”
“I have only received help so far, but I have no intention of receiving only help until the end. The breakup is handled by me. There is a very good way.”
Farrain laughed eerily.
And after some time
The Crown Prince died of illness, and a new Prince Farrain was installed as the Crown Prince.
It was an unexpected thing. However, YuRia and I were silent. As a result, things turned out well.
Since he became the crown prince, it was natural to break off his marriage.
Yuria is the heir to the Duke of Piltania. She had to lead the family, but she couldn’t become queen.
“Princess. I’m kind of anxious. Is it okay if I leave Prince Farrain alone like this?”
“It’s okay. My relationship with him ends here. There won’t be any bumps in the next few years.”
「Chapter 14. Conspiracy completed.」
「Chapter 15. The Masquerade begins.」
「Chapter 15. Masquerade.
End of one year. A masquerade is held for the academy graduates. Participants must wear masks at all times, and it is a violation of manners to ask questions that can identify someone. Due to the nature of the masquerade, where one’s identity is unknown, even non-nobles can participate.”
Time skipped, and the day of the masquerade came closer and closer.
There is no law that requires you to attend a masquerade. However, most nobles participate in masquerades. Because special parties like this rarely happen. It will be a good memory that you can talk happily later.
“Eugene, please join the masquerade.”
“I am a servant, but….”
“Anyway, there is nothing to reveal. And it is an open secret that some servants participate in the masquerade.”
“All right. I will prepare.”
If it’s black, you have to is there any star?
And around this time, news of the engagement between Crown Prince Farrain and Mary spread. Prince Farrain seemed to have persuaded his father, the king. I don’t know how you persuaded him.
‘Looking at it from the outside, it’s a happy ending.’
•••
On the day of the masquerade ball.
To hide his identity until right before entering the banquet hall, he put on a black cloak and entered the banquet hall.
Although he wore a mask, the difference between an aristocrat and a servant was immediately felt. The atmosphere flowing from the body was different, and the kind of confidence was different. But I acted like a perfectly aristocrat.
In the world of Baek-Hwan, I was originally an aristocrat.
In addition.
「Advice: Your posture is disturbed. Get it right.”
With Advice interfering, he only looks like a perfect aristocrat.
By the way, I wore a steel mask and banquet uniform. Yuria wore a gorgeous jewel-encrusted mask and a blue dress.
Masked nobles approached us one by one.
A line of men asked YuRia to dance. Although she wore a mask, she could not hide her beauty and grace. Her blue-silver hair was exposed, so the nobles might have already noticed her true identity.
[Advice: Request a dance from Princess Yuria.]
I respectfully extended my hand to her.
“Miss. Would you like to dance with me?”
“Gladly.”
We went up to the stage prepared for dancing. Follow the steps to the music that flows slowly.
Social dancing was already familiar. Dancing at a party is almost a necessity, so I’ve been ballroom dancing with Yuria since the old days. Yuria is my ballroom dance teacher.
I can feel people’s eyes turning to us. It seems like you are dancing normally, but your eyes are focused. Is it because of me or YuRia? Or is it because of the setting of this world? In my personal opinion, it is most likely due to the setting of this world.
“Eugene. Are you enjoying the banquet?”
While dancing, YuRia whispered a question.
“It is less fun than you think. Are you happy, Princess?”
“I’m usually not funny either, but with Eugene it’s even better.”
My eyes met hers. Eyes that feel the heat. I knew intuitively what she wanted.
“Princess. You look very hard. It looks like you need a break.”
“Yes. You seem tired today.”
There was a separate room for relaxation in the large banquet hall. It is a place for tired bodies from prom, but it is also a place for trysts for like-minded men and women. Well, it would be a big problem if the tryst was discovered.
I locked the door to the room and went inside. Yuria naturally sat down on her soft chair, and I knelt down in front of her. She put her leg out this way. I slowly massaged her legs.
“Eugene. Wake up.”
After taking off her mask, she took off my mask as well. Her hand stroked my face.
“It is an order. Eugene. Kiss me.”
“Yes. I will gladly serve you.”
Kissed her The kiss didn’t end with just one kiss. It got deeper and deeper as time went on. My hand was on her back, and her hand was on my shoulder.
There was a muffled sound of her tongue mingling. Me and her kissed and didn’t close our eyes. Instead, they looked into each other’s eyes.
Clap.
The locked door opened and someone entered.
She was Mary in a dress red as blood.
