Chapter 176 – Nosferatu (3)
Blackwood is not far from the academy. Because the academy located in the center of the continent, right next to the capital, is the center of transportation for the empire, even if it is not a transition gate connected to all parts of the continent.
In fact, if he had started from the academy and worked diligently on his feet just a little bit, it would have been a long time since he arrived.
Even so, the reason we’ve been delayed for so long, and we’ve just arrived at Blackwood…
“Ah, ah, let’s do it one more time. Yes?”
“Yeah, chup, chuu. Drink it Just a little more please…”
Like this, about half of the day is due to the two women I cling to to mix with me.
To be exact, half a day was spent on kicking rice cakes, and half a day was spent on recovering energy by falling asleep as if fainting.
Of course, it would have been fine if I didn’t accept it.
“Haeup, ung, chung, jajii…”
“Ha ha… Uh, ah! Fingers, thick… ! Ha ha!”
Daisy, with her short pink curls, tucked behind her ears to serve her cock, or Eileen, who masturbated using my fingers instead, shaking her waist and waving her hair when I refused to drive her.
How do you stand this
Thanks a lot, it was a few days later than planned, but I don’t regret it.

“——Welcome, I was contacted in advance and I have been waiting for you.”
Blackwood Mansion.
When we stepped into the garden of the huge mansion, which was comparable to Chepesch’s manor in terms of size, an old butler with gray hair and neatly arranged greeted our party politely.
I admired the dignity of the old butler who respectfully bowed. Because it’s not in Chepes.
Of course, are old butlers rare? If you ask me, the answer is “No”.
Usually, every noble family with a long history has at least one old butler who has been devoted to the family for a long time.
Chepesch, which has a thousand-year history but has no butler, let alone an old butler, is just unusual.
“The great pillar of the empire, His Highness the Duke of Chepes… , Meet His Highness Duke Frederick, the owner of the Mage Tower. My name is Alfred, who is in charge of the butler, though I am inexperienced. Eat inside.”
An old butler, who introduced himself as Alfred, led us into the mansion.
“… Eww.”
Daisy, who has returned to her hometown, is somehow watching closely behind me. Rather than being scared of something, I thought I was just nervous, so I decided to leave it alone.
Are there people who are difficult to meet?
“This is it. The lord is waiting for you, would you like to eat inside?”
Hmm.
It’s definitely because it’s ‘Blackwood’. To ask us, the guests visiting the manor, if we would ‘meet’ the owner of the manor.
Not because we had another purpose, but as long as we came here as ‘guests’, and unless the emperor of the empire stepped forward directly, we couldn’t choose the option of ‘let the lord wait and not meet’.
No. Even the emperor couldn’t do such a thing easily. It was an act of disregard for the lord’s authority and face.
Blackwood, in particular, is a renowned samurai. That’s why the family customs are stricter than other families and I value face, but since I’m none other than ‘Chepes’, it seems like I prioritize my own will over the lord’s face.
Indeed, blind loyalty that would not be easily shown even to the emperor of the empire. The butler who would have been devoted and loyal to the family for a longer time than anyone else.
Eileen, as if she had only heard her words, opened her eyes wide and looked at me and the owner of the house. The next person I noticed was Daisy, who was hiding behind me. Daisy pouted at his gaze, as if asking what the hell was your family up to.
“Joy. It’s natural.”
“No. It’s not natural.”
“… No, see you soon.”
“Yes.”
Ignoring the two women bickering behind me, I spoke to Alfred, who was smiling faintly.
As Alfred approached the door, the maid who was presenting her bowed and pulled the door open. Alfred took a step back with the door that opened softly and the maid who opened the door as if she had come this far.
Daisy and Eileen were about to take them inside when they heard the old butler’s happy voice.
“I am glad you are doing well, Miss Daisy…”
“… Ugh!”
The soft voice of an old man who loves his granddaughter. Daisy, who had heard the heartwarming words of gratitude, shook his shoulders. It’s not that he doesn’t like it, it just seems like he’s embarrassed.
What did he really do
I was curious, but didn’t have time to ask.
“Welcome.”
Thud. Not only me, but Eileen, another aristocrat, and her own daughter were watching. Without a moment’s hesitation, a middle-aged man banging his head on the floor greeted me with a deep voice.
“Hey, what are you doing now?”
“Meet the true lord. I am Logan Blackwood, the current head of Blackwood.”
Ah.
I can feel Eileen screaming now in silence.
It’s behind my back and I can see it clearly.
*
Somehow, I cleared the misunderstanding and left the drawing room. To be honest, Logan, who bowed down to me with serious momentum until the moment I opened the door and came out, was a bit of a burden.
“… Phew. I’ve heard a lot about Blackwood, but I never thought it would be like this.”
Eileen grumbled a little in the room she was shown to. Each room was assigned one by one, and I thought Daisy would go to the room she used to use, but the butler gave her a large room.
‘Wait for a sec. Is there only one room?’
‘Yes? It’s not, but… Wouldn’t it be better for the three of us to share one room?’
What, really
Aside from casually saying that the head of Chepes and Friedrich’s family are like that, he tongue-in-cheeked at the way Daisy, the daughter of the house, was naturally included.
There was no doubt that even the reason was ‘Because you are the Duke of Chepes.’
“… Daisy. Is it like this in social circles or other diplomatic venues?”
“Eh. Oh no.”
Daisy shook her head. On the contrary, I felt a sense of injustice.
“It’s only when it’s related to Tzepes that our family acts like it’s missing a screw!”
“I’m going crazy.”
Eileen touched her forehead. I also wanted to follow along. I saw Daisy.
“It’s been a while, can I not go to your room? It doesn’t matter if you sleep here, but I’d like to take a look and feel nostalgic for the first time in a while. I miss you too.”
Tall.
Daisy hardened.
“… Uh, what should I do?”
Daisy, feeling nostalgic for her hometown after a long absence, swallowed her saliva instead of returning to her room. She grabbed my sleeve and trembled slightly as if nervous.
“What’s the matter?”
“… That is.”
Daisy, hesitant, closed her eyes and confessed. In fact, she said that there were many voices against sending her, the second daughter of her family, as her mediocre maid, no matter how Chepesch.
People within the family support her in displaying her extraordinary talent.
It is said that she did not have a serious internal struggle over her right to succeed, so it may not be that she supported Daisy with her everything, even her life, out of desperation.
In any case, it must have had some influence within the family.
Although she’s second to women, she’s a talent to be reckoned with. People were fascinated by it, and it was worth following.
However, Daisy gave up her right to succeed. One day, suddenly, without saying a word to those who followed the girl. Very clean, without leaving any room.
Of course, complaints erupted.
“… I was young then. The interest was also burdensome… The reason I trained was because I wanted to serve my master.”
And Daisy’s response to all those complaints was not a refutation or persuasion, but a complete disregard.
And.
“And I came to see the master.”
Daisy came to see me in Chepes. Daisy smiled shyly when she finished all of her story. After hearing all of her stories, I was struck by something curious about her.
“… Are you talking about your childhood?”
Daisy hadn’t met me in less than a year. It’s as if she couldn’t understand the hearts of the people who followed her, she pretended to be talking about her immature days, but in reality it’s just like talking about last year.
“… Lol.”
This guy
“She’s not just a year, a year old. From the maid, she learned the mindset of a maid and the proper way to behave…”
“So, what year?”
“2 years…”
There it is
In front of others, she puts on a blunt face on purpose, and that goes well with her original face and looks cold, but in reality, she is Daisy, who is surprisingly foolish.
Also, she is very friendly and friendly. It’s because I don’t talk well with people because I usually stick to the blunt concept.
She still travels with Aileen, and after solving the concept, they became very close. The commonality of crying under me might have helped build intimacy.
“What did you do after not training for two years?”
I mean, this is the problem.
Daisy, who was so good with her affinity, in her own family where she did not have to wear her blunt mask, she abandoned the expectations of her vassals who believed in her and supported her, and then came to Chepes without any treatment. It didn’t seem like it.
Or maybe things got too big for her to handle on her own.
In fact, the battle for the succession was quite fierce, and the retainers felt a great sense of betrayal by Daisy, who gave up the right of succession at will.
Even in that case, I would be on Daisy’s side.
It’s not because the children themselves didn’t want it, but they just gave their support on their own.
“… It’s not like that!”
Fortunately, that doesn’t seem to be the case.
In fact, the butler I met earlier was almost like a grandfather treating his granddaughter.
I became even more puzzled. Given Daisy’s personality, it doesn’t seem like she’ll thoroughly ignore the vassals she visits.
“… Hing. That’s it.”
Daisy wiggled her fingers. While poking my index fingers against each other, I looked at my eyes.
“… After all, all the people in my family are Chepeshu’s idiots, aren’t they? To be honest, I have a feeling that they hate me even more because I was taken away from being a maid.”
Is that If you stay still, you can live comfortably in your home, but you dare to take away the dream job that your siblings want…
“The vassals are also people who basically turn a blind eye to the word ‘Cepesh’… I didn’t like it because I gave up the succession right, and apart from that, there were many people who were very envious of me going to Chepesch. Once the decision was made, there were just as many people who congratulated me…”
Daisy, who hesitated, eventually confessed.
“So I wrote a letter on the day I left home to help some people who bothered me until now…”
“What did you write down?”
Daisy closed her eyes. Perhaps it was embarrassing to bring it out in words, he brought a piece of paper, wrote it down, and handed it to me.
See. What the hell is it all about…
──I’m going to the Chepesh Territory. Are you envious? Hehe you guys can’t come here~!! I’m not interested in the household. I’ll live with Scarlett-nim for the rest of my life~~!! If you twist it, you should be stronger than me!
And.
I hate you.
“Oh, I’m dizzy.”
In the end, Aileen, who couldn’t keep up with the situation, complained of her headache.
I felt like my head was pounding, so I closed my eyes.
Is it a true story that the whole family really came out to admire me?
