Divinity Academy’s Crazy Demon Lord’s Son 38

Chapter 38 – 10. Villainous Daughter Chloe (3)

The Daeren River that runs through the zodiacal capital Teria. To the south of it is the Central District, where the Imperial Palace is located.

And to the west of the central district was a wealthy village where the mansions of high-ranking ministers, nobles, and wealthy merchants were concentrated.

Chloe de Aitern, the daughter of the Marquis of Aitern. As befits a daughter of the wealthy Aitern family, her mansion is also located here.

The huge mansion, reminiscent of the royal palace of a small kingdom. Chloe was busy walking around the mansion for a while.

She said.

“You must have fully prepared, right?”
“Yeah. Miss. I prepared perfectly without lacking anything.”

There is fear in the eyes of the users. Chloe was not the kind of person who would forgive her the slightest mistake.

A few days ago, Mattel, the gardener, cut the branches of her landscape tree an inch or so deeper than usual.

The servants were well aware of Chloe’s personality. So Mattel trembled and she quickly apologized to Chloe, who was thirty years younger than her.

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry. Miss. Deeper on the branches than usual…”
“Hmm. Okay. Mattel. Mattel has been serving writers since her father’s generation, child after generation, right?”
“Yes, it is. Miss. Please forgive me for my mistakes…”
“Of course. A person can make a mistake at least once in a lifetime. Isn’t it?”

Martel sighed at that, and she felt very fortunate.

However, the next day. When Martel went to work at the mansion, all his luggage and landscaping tools were out in the yard outside the mansion.

“One mistake is a prelude to the next. I’ve been struggling all this time. Mattel. You don’t have to go to work at the mansion in the future. We will give you severance pay according to the customs of the zodiac.”

So Mattel was fired at once from the Aitern family, where he had worked for 30 years.

Of course, that day was the day after Chloe was severely insulted by the count of the Marquis. He was so cold-hearted.

Not to be seen by such a lady, the servants’ feet were moving briskly without stopping even for a moment.

Chloe, who had been watching him, folded his fan with a bang.

‘Now you’re paying for it. Compared to the salary they receive, those servants work too comfortably.’

The place where Chloe is now is the hall of the mansion.

It was a place where the wives of nobles and ministers of the imperial capital usually gathered and social gatherings were often held. Especially today, he was preparing a banquet with more effort than usual for Count Yulian.

‘I said it was a small banquet. It’s not an informal banquet at all.’

Aristocratic attire and greetings, etc. Such manners are not always the same. In a megacity like the ecliptic, fashions change quickly from time to time.

Even more, it cannot be compared with Essenmund, a rural village in the north. In particular, if it was Count Julian, the young master of that town, his level would drop. Besides, it’s crazy.

Chloe planned to take a small revenge on the heir of the Marquis through today’s banquet.

‘In front of the carriage last time, the insult was passed on based on his status. Embarrassing me in front of the reserve platoon went too far.’

Even if grace is forgotten, resentment is not forgotten. That is the way of the villainous young lady, Chloe. However, he could not do anything about Count Julian, who had a very high status.

So, with this ‘little banquet’ prepared for the count, he intended to embarrass him a little.

‘Stupid Count Julian. That count didn’t know the manners of the emperor at all.’

Chloe remembers what happened at the ball at the imperial palace at the end of last year.

On that day, Count Julian entered the hall of the imperial palace wearing clothes like clowns would wear. And he insulted the aristocrats who had endured the embarrassment and greeted them.

‘You are talking to me carelessly! Sick things. Aren’t you ashamed to wear such trashy clothes?’

The only person wearing trashy clothes was Count Julian, but it was ridiculous.

In addition, the drunk Count Julian sang a strange song in front of the emperor with the sound of picking a pig.

It was a terrible song that I couldn’t even imagine being the son of Riel, the bard with a devilish voice.

‘Anyway, it’s true that the count doesn’t know banquet manners at all like him.’

So, Chloe prepared the present banquet. The Count who dared to humiliate Chloe in front of her by saying something about manners.

So Chloe was thinking of humiliating her in the same way. He said it was just a small banquet. It was clear that the count would not be able to properly prepare for the dress code or greetings between nobles.

He said he would invite mainly the members of the Golden Wings Platoon. In fact, he invited many other noble ladies of the imperial capital.

‘I’ll make sure you properly embarrass yourself in front of that many nobles. And not only that.’

Lately the count’s appearance has changed to his own notice. So, if he luckily escapes this trap he’s set himself up for, just in case. He has also set traps that can properly crush a man’s ego.

The count must have been possessed by his own beauty.

Chloe prepared an aphrodisiac for herself to drink and a potion for impotence to put in the Count’s wine glass.

It is not a cure for erectile dysfunction. It was literally an elixir that made it impossible to get an erection. As a genius of alchemy, it was not a job for him to make such a medicine.

He finished preparing all the banquets. The servant of the mansion announced the arrival of the invited guest.

“Count Harsen. Julian von Reinhardt has arrived!”

The time for revenge has come. Chloe walked towards him.

***

Suddenly, Chloe invited me to a small banquet held at her mansion.

Although he attended a banquet held at the Marquis Mansion immediately after the military parade. Banquets and social gatherings, which are still the symbol of only nobles, were not familiar to me at all.

‘And it’s not like that villainous young lady invites me without thinking.’

In order to overpower the steamer, he openly humiliated Chloe in front of the other cadets. Nevertheless, he even held a banquet to make up for his rudeness.

As expected, if it was the Chloe I knew, it would make sense that he had prepared something at the banquet.

Eirin, who heard me, said.

“The lady of the Marquis of Aitern prepared a small banquet?”
“Yes. They emphasized that it is a small banquet that does not require a lot of pressure.”
“Then there will never be a small banquet. A small banquet spoken of by wealthy nobles like the Marquis of Aitern would be completely different from common sense.”

So, Eirin told me about banquet manners that have recently become popular among the sons of nobles in the imperial capital. No, it was more like private tutoring rather than being told.

Dress code, conversation code, how to dance to music, and more. It was difficult and complex beyond imagination.

However, I digested it without a problem.

—————–
[The attribute has evolved through proficiency.]
​
* Descendants of Common Nobles (B) —〉 Scions of High-ranking Nobles (A)
: It becomes possible to think and act like a son of a high-ranking aristocrat.
​
* Mana consumption
: 15MP per hour
—————–​

In this way, the characteristics of ordinary aristocratic children have changed. The most used feature so far. Therefore, it has evolved one step through the accumulated proficiency.

Through this trait, I quickly learned what Eirin taught me about noble manners.

The banquet is Sunday evening a few days later.

Time was tight, but in less than half a day, I was able to master all of those intricate manners. Of course, Eirin’s help was great.

‘How could a maid know all the latest banquet manners of the children of the imperial aristocrats? She really is a transcendental maid.’

In addition to this characteristic, there is also the characteristic of an artist with an aesthetic sense. Therefore, I was confident that I could deal with any noble aristocrat skillfully.

And I left one more trait open via GP.

—————–
「Release of user general characteristics」​
: 25 GP was consumed to release Yulian’s general characteristics.
​
* Attribute: General Alchemist (B)
: You will approach the profoundness of alchemy knowledge.

​* Class Special Effect: Understanding Poisons / ?

* Mana consumption
: 10MP per hour
—————–​

Normal alchemist trait. I hadn’t entered the alchemy sect’s lecture yet, but the reason I opened it in advance was in that explanation.

Understanding Class Special Effect Poisons. As an alchemist who always handles dangerous materials, it was an essential special effect.

‘If Chloe is that crazy bitch. I don’t know if I’ll put something weird in my food or drink.’

He insulted Chloe properly. Even an assassination attempt would be an overkill. Still, you never know what he’s going to do if that bitch goes crazy.

The elixir that would render me paralyzed could have secretly been burned in my drinking glass.

If that happens, Chloe will be suspicious right away. Still, she’d have to do her best to deal with her.

The contrast is this.

—————–
“Living as the successor of the Demon King”
* All poisons (passive)
: Passive has been released with the general alchemist’s (B) class special effect ‘Understanding Poisons’. You are immune to all poisons.
—————–

With my understanding of poisons, I found a hidden passive in my blood.

Exactly all poison. The demon king’s blood seems to be a noble body that cannot be harmed with ordinary poison.

‘But. That’s why the elixir that quickly awakens mana was rather useless to Yulian.’

It’s unfortunate in many ways, but it doesn’t matter to me, who has already awakened Mana.

Today is the day of the banquet. While I was organizing my thoughts. Hans, the coachman, dropped me off at Chloe’s mansion.

“Then I will be waiting here.”
“The banquet won’t be over anytime soon. There will be many other coachmen here, so let’s make friends.”
“All right. Young master.”

After telling Hans, he entered Chloe’s mansion.

‘How big is the mansion? It’s much bigger than my mansion in the ecliptic.’

But. Because he was the Marquis of Aitern, whose wealth alone could not be matched by any noble in the empire. The servant of the mansion informed me of my position.

“Count Harsen. Julian von Reinhardt has arrived!”

​
***

Chloe’s whole body trembled with anger.

Count Yulian didn’t get caught in any of the traps he had dug.

In the middle of the hall, full of old-fashioned music. There was a man at the center of the noble children invited to the banquet.

“Glory to the bravery of a lion that calms the winds of the north! Count Julian is met by the second daughter of Viscount Lebley, Marie.”
“Glory to your bravery. Yes. Nice to meet you Marine. A pleasant place prepared by the Marquis Chloe. You too will have fun.”
“I know. Count Julian… I will definitely…”

Even now, at this moment, the eyes of the noble lady who greeted the count were full of stars.

Is the man who insulted her out of politeness in front of her right?

Count Julian got along very well with the children of nobles invited to the banquet. Dress code. Courtesy for greetings. Up to the topic of conversation. He showed a perfect figure without any flaws.

There was no way that the aristocratic children of the imperial capital did not know the crazy Yulian. So at first he was reluctant to let anyone approach him.

However, Count Julian attracted the nobles around him with shockingly perfect manners and affinity.

Suddenly, the center of the banquet was not Chloe, but Count Julian.

“As expected, it is a pottery of a very high standard, befitting the item brought by the Marquis of Aitern. Although it contains the beauty of classical style, it is rare to see a transitional bold attempt to pass on to the next generation. These things have a very high artistic value.”
“Awesome! Count Julian! To us, they are all the same pottery. The Count, who is also a famous artist, must be different.”
“The quality of the lectures in the art department of the Pantheon is high. If you do, you will naturally learn something.”
“Is that so! We are learning from the Count again. Haha.”

In order to disgrace the Count, Chloe mixed up pottery of great value in various places in the banquet hall. Things that are seemingly there and there.

The Count was a self-proclaimed artist. The children of nobles asked Yulian the difference.

Chloe rhymed with the pottery in front of the Count during the banquet and even guided him.

However, the Count did not fall for anything and managed to sort out all his valuables. Even in the middle of it, a clever speech that raises himself as the subject of the banquet.

It was a perfect appearance that felt full of high-class dignity worthy of a grand duke’s successor.

‘How did the count, who was a trash artist, change so much? Damn it. If the banquet ends like this, it’s my complete defeat. It can’t be.’

Chloe eventually decided to use the last move she had prepared. He poured two glasses of the 50-year-old wine he had prepared for the banquet.

He puts an aphrodisiac in the cup he drinks. The cup to be given to the Count was filled with impotence medicine. Then he approached Count Julian.

“Count Julian. Would you like to try this wine? It is a 50-year-old wine made from grapes harvested directly from famous southern vineyards.”
“That would be nice. Give me a drink.”
“I’m going to have a drink with you.”

I drank the wine the Count gave me. Chloe couldn’t hold back the sudden smile that spread.

***

Backyard of the mansion. The place where shrubs and all kinds of landscaping trees that grew taller than people were densely packed. The backyard was full of places for two men and women to hide secretly.

Descendants of the nobility of the zodiac who do not have a thorough concept of chastity. And the recent banquet culture.

Correspondingly, the backyard was filled with cheers from guests enjoying the after-parties of the banquet.

“Haang … Angang … So good … Ah …”
“Lower your voice! Viscount daughter”

Just as expected. Someone was busy working around the place where Chloe and Julian were standing.

Chloe hurriedly looked into Count Julian’s eyes. He too is a man His face lit up with curiosity and excitement.

“I was going to take a break with the count for a while. You already have guests. But my mansion is quite large.”
“Right. If we want to talk about this and that, it might be better to move around.”

Chloe led Julian to a more secluded place in the backyard. He already drank the aphrodisiac himself. I was a little excited because of the intercourse a while ago, unlike Chloe.

‘If only I was this hot. Of course, any man would not be able to stand seeing this.’

A truly colorful look.

In addition, passing by this place, he seduced the count with secret whispers. A doctor of explicit sexuality. Of course, if the count was a man, it would not be easy to tolerate sexual desire in a place full of promiscuous sexual intercourse.

‘But what if you don’t get an erection in the middle of that? It must be a proper humiliation.’

Finally, the two found a seat in the backyard and sat down.
