Divinity Academy’s Crazy Demon Lord’s Son 131

Chapter 131 – 38. Birthday Banquet Preparation (4)

I went out of the mansion to greet the delegation.

The wide courtyard of my mansion. The carriage that escorted the cryolite and the horses of the knights that escorted the delegation entered together.

Soon, people from the delegation approached me. The vassals of the Marquis and the Knights of the White Nights lined up in front of me all at once.

“Greetings to the lion’s son!”

An envoy with one arm raised to his chest. They all knelt down in front of me.

“I will appreciate the hard work of the gentlemen.”

Already in the winter parade, he became the official successor of the Marquis. So the delegation’s attitude towards me was extremely polite.

I gave them some time to pack their things. Then he brought them to the dining room of the mansion and served them a meal.

For the delegation, the chef of the mansion put a lot of effort into it. As we ate, we exchanged simple conversations with the envoys.

It’s a simple conversation, but it’s a conversation between the Margrave’s delegation and his official successor. It was a high-level conversation that was quite elegant and matched the courtesy of a nobleman.

When the atmosphere was quite ripe.

A vassal whose face was often seen in the Margrave’s mansion. He, who was seated closest to me at the table, spoke once again as the representative of the delegation.

“You are still handsome. I heard that you are continuing your studies at Pantheon.”
“It’s too much. Lord Mason.”

It was different from the aristocrats of Essenmund, who were covered in sugar during military parades. This viscount named Mason had been by Wilhelm’s side and assisted him for a long time.

In other words, one of the housekeepers of Essenmund. After the great war with the demons, he was a loyalist of Wilhelm who had further developed Essenmund.

‘I’ve heard from Eirin that she has the same personality and is a very meticulous person.’

In other words, it’s like Wilhelm’s right hand. He was by no means a formidable person.

Maybe that’s why the eyes looking at me for a moment were fierce.

‘At the time of the fever. I guess they’re looking to see if it’s not acting.’

He glanced at my clothes for a moment. Wake up in the morning and clean your hair and face. And the family’s uniform, which the Otto father and son personally tailored, was perfect.

Mason nodded his head with a look of great satisfaction.

“You are perfect. The nobility of the zodiac subtly ignores the people of Essenmund, calling them villagers from the outskirts. But if you see Count Julian’s tall figure, you wouldn’t think so at all. Rather, I think I will regret not being able to marry the count and their daughter beforehand. Haha.”
“Right. But don’t worry. Lest they dare to look down on us people of Essenmund as outcasts. I will act in the future.”

Mason’s eyes instantly changed with interest.

“Indeed. The Count’s resolve seems to be extraordinary. At His Majesty’s birthday banquet this time, he proposed that the Count directly serve as the representative of the delegation. In fact, there was a lot of talk about that proposal at Her Majesty’s Mansion.”

It was no ordinary birthday party. Envoys representing high-ranking aristocrats and feudal lords come to the imperial city and offer tributes to the emperor.

In other words, it was also a place to confirm the unwavering loyalty relationship between the emperor and his vassals.

“Actually, that’s why it’s very meaningful to be the representative of the envoy. It is literally a place to confirm the loyalty of the Essenmund region on behalf of His Highness the Marquis. So, His Highness the Marquis…”

Mason was speechless for a moment. It seemed to know the meaning.

The envoy on behalf of the feudal lord is no different from the will of the feudal lord itself.

So, it could be that my idea of ​​representing the delegation was the whim of the boy who couldn’t throw away his crazy habit.

‘Through this loyalist, Wilhelm must have been trying to confirm my thoughts.’

Mason was lost in thought for a moment, but soon put on a bright expression.

“However, it is the same as the last military parade. Just like now, I can feel the true intention from the Count’s upright demeanor. And the fact that the Count is working hard on his studies and training at Pantheon after school starts. I have already been informed of it.”

An unprecedented ordination to the holy priesthood of Jedin. And the deployment of the golden wings, and the activity after that. The fact that he was ranked first in the recent golden wing’s power evaluation has already been reported to the Marquis Command.

Mason glanced at Uriel, who was sitting with her at the table.

“It’s not candy coating or flattery for the count. Sir Uriel’s report was confirmed by His Highness the Marquis and I personally. Your Highness is also proud of Count Julian.”

A loyalist and housekeeper of Marquis Baekryeong. If that’s the case, he’ll have connections with the people of the ecliptic in his own way.

That Yuriel’s report was not a lie. If this was a vassal with a meticulous personality, he would have already completed the cross-validation.

“Anyway, there seems to be no lie in that report.”

And finally, I personally confirmed my true intentions here.

“This will be a good opportunity to show off the official successor of the Marquis in front of His Majesty and the nobles. Haha”

In other words, it was enough for me to be entrusted with the delegation’s representative.

‘He must be a difficult person. Still, it seems worthwhile to have worked hard in the Pantheon.’

That’s how Mason’s careful verification of qualifications seems to have come to an end. As if to prove that fact. A notification popped up on the system.

—————–
“Living as Reinhardt’s successor”
* Credentials as formal successor

Mason and I then moved on to the next topic.

***

Viscount Mason’s expression became more serious than before.

“And Count Julian. You should have already received a letter from the butler Roberto of this mansion. About the current situation of Essenmund and permafrost.”
“I know. That’s why His Highness seems to be worried.”

At my words, the eyes of the knights who were sitting together at the meal changed.

An elite knight belonging to the White Night Knights. Yuriel’s superiors didn’t talk about it even during mealtime.

I told them

“And if possible, I would like to hear about it directly from the members of the White Night Knights.”
“All right. Count Julian. That lot will tell you.”

A knight named Lot once again reported the situation in Essenmund to me.

A month ago, the movements of the Keiatic Gate and permafrost were unusual.

Not only the number of gates formed nearby, but also the level has become higher. A gate that is becoming a rare territory has also been confirmed.

In other words, it meant that more monsters threatening Essenmund appeared.

“We, the Knights of the Midnight Sun and the Essenmund Army, are the best on the continent. So, until now, we have been able to block the movement of the beasts without much damage. However, as the magical energy near the permafrost became stronger… The occurrence of sudden gates in Essenmund became more frequent. The resulting damage is also accumulating.”

It must have meant that Ireland was heading towards its end. The only thing fortunate is the fact that the permafrost is near the border Baekryong.

The Grand Master, Margrave Wilhelm, and the Knights of the Midnight Sun. And as long as there are elite soldiers in Essenmund, the north of Island will survive for a while.

‘It’s where I’m based. That place must never collapse.’

Of course, in the bad ending of Demon King’s Death, Essenmund perishes without exception. That was what I was thinking of stopping in the future.

And after hearing Rott’s words, Yuriel’s expression changed seriously.

A member of the White Night Knights and a fifth-tier Aura user, Yuriel. If it wasn’t for the will of the crazy Julian, she would have had to kill the Witchbeast along with those knights.

‘No matter how much I let them use the gymnasium of Loia Hall. I can’t have a member of the Midnight Night Knights play at an academy.’

So, through her last correspondence, she told the Argentine William Wilhelm. He told me that he no longer needed to attach an escort to me.

“And I heard that the Count said he would send Uriel back to our midnight sun. His Highness has ordered us to check that out as well.”
“That’s right. Sir Lot. The White Night Knights are coming too, so it’s time to feel sorry for one user. Wouldn’t that be the right thing to do?”
“You’re right. However, since Count Julian is the official heir to the Reinhardt family… His Highness is very worried.”
“You don’t have to worry about that. Now I have enough skills to protect my own body.”

So I mentioned that fact directly in the letter. The fact that my level has reached the third level. And that I have already been able to use the magic trick of Chapter 1 of the Lion Heart Sword, Midnight Sun.

Uriel would have reported the fact together. There is no need to doubt its authenticity. Also, her maternal grandfather was overprotective.

“So you told us to check that out yourself. Please forgive that rudeness. Could you take a moment after dinner, please…”
“No. It’s not rude. And that much can be confirmed right now. I’ll summon mana for a while. Can you confirm?”

Lott’s expression instantly showed interest. Even after arriving at this mansion, the knight’s well-groomed gaze remains unresolved.

Even compared to Instructor Darren of the Battle Order or Instructor Meters of the Golden Wings, Rott had no shortage of wisdom.

My heightened senses tell me. It was clear that Lott was a sixth-tier Aura expert, more than a fifth-tier Aura user.

“If that’s what the Count wants, then I understand.”

He respectfully bowed his head. I focused all my feelings on myself. A torrent of mana that quickly passes through the mana road.

Soon, the mana concentrated in the mana heart was refined, creating a magnificent 3rd rotation. I met Lott’s gaze.

Rot confirmed my state through the light in my eyes and the mana secretly discharged from my body.

“There is no doubt… You are at the third level. No… Are you really on the third level?”

He said in amazement. The other knights next to Rot and Yuriel also looked at me in amazement. Rott continued.

“The refined mana is at a level that cannot be felt in a normal 3rd tier level. Its mana pressure alone is already comparable to that of the 4th tier.”

At Rott’s words, Viscount Mason’s eyes widened.

“I am an ordinary person who cannot use mana. But for Lord Lot to say so…”
“That’s right. Mason. This should have been enough to use 1 secret weapon, Midnight Sun.”
“Oh oh. It’s really nice to hear that. The Mugain Reinhardt family. That Reinhardt’s only heir’s skills had improved. It is also a blessing for Essenmund.”

He, an elite Knight of the Midnight Sun and an Auror Expert, confirmed it. Even Marshal Wilhelm would not be able to oppose Uriel’s return to the original era. Mason nodded her head as if convinced.

Rott said it.

“Of course, Sir Uriel, of a similar age, is already a fifth-tier Aura user. However, Count Julian definitely received mana boost this winter. So that means he’s only been two months since he awakened to fire and mana. If you think of the Midnight Aura users like Yuriel, who grabbed a wooden sword as soon as they were walking. To be honest, I can’t believe the rate of growth right now.”
“I see… That means blood can’t be tricked. He is the one who inherited the blood of Her Highness Wilhelm and Lady Agnes.”
“That’s right. I’m sure His Highness will be very happy too.”

Mason drooling. Then Rott and Mason, their eyes caught in momentary awe.

As a faithful servant of Wilhelm, he must have been angry every day at the sight of the crazy heir. But now it’s different. What I did after being possessed. Enough work to surprise them.

But I couldn’t be satisfied.

‘Even so, it’s still only the third tier. I should be able to use the aura at least until summer break.’

Using aurors.

That is a level that a person with a talent for swordsmanship like Yuriel can reach by training from an early age. This means that it will take close to 20 years.

However, I only have half a year left. The weight of what I had to do in the future became more real in front of them.

But I said it calmly.

“It’s not a big deal. If so, it’s on the same level as the cadets in the second year. More than that, I had a hard time getting here from Essenmund. For the rest of the day, shouldn’t you all rest quickly?”

I gave the delegation a break. And he confirmed with his own eyes the cryolite brought by the delegation.

I had such a busy weekend.

A new week again. I headed to Cecilia’s studio from Monday morning.
