Chapter 631 – Ep.629 Tullius Empire
“I’m here──”
“Captain!!”
As soon as we enter the knights’ building, our Roan screams and runs towards us.
“Your voice sounds good this morning.”
“My voice has been good for a long time with constant maintenance. No, that’s not important right now!!”
“No, you added the last word?”
This kid is secretly bragging about himself and then trying to blame it on me.
“Greatness… Anyway, we’re in big trouble.”
“If it’s not a big deal, it’s 10 honey chestnuts.”
The fever was already spreading all the way to the top of my head, and I was even more curious as to what on earth was causing such a fuss.
However, when he showed the back of his right hand with blood vessels sticking out and clenched his fist, the guy who had been making noises suddenly hardened his face and became calm.
“What. “Tell me quickly.”
“… “If I think about it carefully, it might not be a big deal to the leader.”
“Do you want to tell me after getting hit?”
“Shit… !!”
Have you finally come to your senses?
While I was thinking like that and seriously considering whether I should hit him on the head, he swiped my face loudly and opened his mouth.
“Someone has arrived from the palace of the 1st and 3rd princes!!”
“Let’s take a hit.”
What kind of big deal is it that they make such a fuss in the morning before going to work?
“Now, wait!!”
“What else?”
“The person who came out of the 3rd Prince’s palace is Sir Adrian, one of the Ten Demon Saints!!”
“… Sir Adrian is here?”
“Well, that’s right…” … Huh?!”
I said this to the members who were glancing at me as I fed a very small potato to the top of his head.
“I’m going to meet some customers, so don’t go anywhere today and wait on the second floor. Do you understand?”
“”Yes!!””
“Okay. “You too, stop acting so harshly and wait on the second floor.”
“… “I think I need to use some sick leave.”
“Send me to the real temple?”
“Damn…”
“I can hear everything.”
“Hmm!! “Oh, I’ll be waiting!!”
He left the members alone and ran up to the second floor alone.
“You guys go up too.”
Tadadak──!!
The members, who had been watching for a quick glance, then rushed up to the second floor.
In an instant, I was alone, so I clicked my tongue at the sight of the ugly members and walked towards the office.
Sweet.
“Smith.”
When I opened the closed door of the office and went inside, Adrian, who was sitting in my chair, perked up his ears and raised his head.
“Adrian… Kyung.”
I was reflexively trying to call him by his name, but when I found a very familiar guy squished on the sofa, I quickly added an honorific.
“Orange… “No, Oren.”
“Sir, Lord Smith.”
The guy, who was completely crumpled, looked at me with the eyes of a cat soaked in rain when I called his name.
‘Adrian isn’t the type to bully anyone.’
Of course, I gently provoke Marvius, but that’s only because I’m caught between the two.
Anyway.
“Sir Adrian. “I’m sorry, but could you please wait a moment?”
“Huh. Wait.”
She didn’t seem to have any intention of acting at all, so she just nodded her head with a faint smile at the request that wasn’t my request.
‘Well, unless she’s a really big-hearted person, she wouldn’t turn her head on purpose to look at Adrian.’
I walked over to the sofa and asked the guy with a bad complexion.
“Is the 1st Prince looking for you?”
“Yes, that’s right. The prince must bring Lord Smith… You’ve been sending me since yesterday…”
“I wasn’t there yesterday.”
“… Yes.”
“Did you say anything else about that?”
“Yes?”
“No, did you just tell me to bring you here?”
“Oh, yes, yes. “He didn’t say anything else.”
“I see.”
I was slightly expecting that he might turn his eyes and make some kind of foolish threat, but unfortunately, it seems that his mental head is still in place.
‘Regardless of the fact that I am a commoner, as long as Bizelin-sama is behind me, he will not be able to easily lay a hand on me.’
Furthermore.
“What business did Sir Adrian have?”
“Letter.”
Slurp.
Adrian was wearing an overcoat of an unusual design that exposed his chest, even in the winter, and he put his hand through the deep cleavage of his breasts and pulled out an envelope with a gold seal on it.
‘… ‘Is it really a pocket?’
If she, as well as Nyaho, feels like everyone is holding something between her breasts, is it because of her feelings?
“You wait a moment. “I will read the letter first and then reply.”
“Ugh… Yes…”
The guy made a groaning sound and gave me a pleading look, but unfortunately, I had no intention of going to the 1st Prince’s palace as much as I did when I was a goblin idiot.
‘But seeing as you sent such a classy letter, it looks like you achieved what you said back then.’
The statement that he would make me his exclusive subordinate.
To be honest, even though I am the youngest, I think it would have been very simple for me to just change affiliation since I was the prince and even took Adrian’s side.
‘Let’s see…’
I roughly tore the envelope, which was shiny and shiny as if it had been coated with gold, with my hands and opened it. Then, I took out a relatively ordinary letter and read what was written inside.
“Sir Adrian.”
“Huh?”
“Wow.”
When did it come?
I almost accidentally kissed her on the lips when she came right in front of me and tilted her head cutely.
“Hmm… “Do you know the contents of the letter?”
“I don’t know.”
“Okay.”
Since it was related to me, I thought they would be roughly sharing the story, but it seems that our princess has no intention of sharing anything with Adrian.
‘Go under Adrian, not under Marvius…’ …’
There were two letters in total.
The first chapter was full of metaphorical expressions of wanting to see me, and the second page, except for two lines, simply said that he wanted to meet me quickly.
In other words, just like the letter I sent last time, there are only two lines of work-related content.
And that was something completely unexpected: not only would I change my affiliation, but the entire Blue Rose Knights would be placed under Adrian’s command.
‘If it had been an hour ago, it would have been quite annoying…’
But now I thought differently.
I was already thinking about what to do with that damn bastard, Rosante Ulnar, but at that moment, the people who were supposed to be my hands and feet were transferred to another organization.
‘And I feel sorry for Marvius, but honestly, having Adrian as your superior would be a lot more burdensome to others than having Marvius as your subordinate.’
As soon as I got to work, the bad mood I felt because Roan started talking shit to me was relieved by Adrian’s cute behavior and the content of the letter.
I said, handing the letter to Adrian.
“Would you please return it to the 3rd prince and tell him that you will come see him in the morning?”
“Aren’t we going together?”
“I have some things I need to take care of for a while.”
“… Huh.”
It was only a brief moment, but Adrian nodded, fluttering his short, stubby ears.
‘The more I understand why Nyaho was so wary at that time.’
I coughed briefly in response to Adrian’s actions that had been provoking me for a while, folded her letter and placed it between her breasts, and whispered softly.
“We can have lunch together, so please go first.”
“… Huh. “Listen to me carefully.”
Only then did Adrian smile faintly again and flutter her ears.
“Well then, see you later.”
Then, like last time, he opened the window and jumped down.
I looked down for a moment to see her disappearing in an instant, then closed the window letting in the cold air and spoke to Oren, who was looking this way.
“Tell the First Prince that you are sorry.”
“S-Lord Smith!!”
“Hey, don’t be too clingy, dude.”
“I waited for Sir Smith all day yesterday too!!”
“I understand, so stay away, you bastard.”
“Ahh!!”
I grabbed the back of the guy who was sagging by the leg of my pants and threw him back onto the sofa.
Fortunately, the sofa was so soft that he didn’t get hurt, but he looked at me blankly with a very shocked expression, probably because he didn’t expect me to throw it.
‘That doesn’t change my mind.’
Well, I wouldn’t know if it was a girl instead of a boy.
“Anyway, it’s not because I don’t want to go, is it?”
“Well, it’s a lie… !!”
“Lies are informal, you bastard.”
I don’t know why Roan’s appearance overlaps with this guy.
‘… ‘It’s time for potatoes.’
“Hi… ?”
While he was clenching his fists and thinking, the guy suddenly shook his shoulders and quietly covered his mouth. Even his quick wit is similar to Roan.
‘I was definitely quite sympathetic at first impression… That’s interesting.’
Anyway, I didn’t really want to hit him, so I opened my fist and said to him.
“Sir Adrian gave me a letter a little while ago.”
“… Yes.”
“And as of today, the enemies of the Blue Rose Knights… So, it says that his affiliation has been transferred to Sir Adrian.”
“… To?”
“Anyway, since that’s the way it is, I’ll just tell the first prince and he will figure out what happened.”
I walked up to the guy who was blinking with an expression of not understanding and lightly tapped his shoulder.
“Because that’s how it happened. Take enough rest and then return to the palace. Or maybe you too served the Third Prince.”
“… “The 3rd Prince doesn’t have a personal attendant, right?”
“Okay?”
“Yes…”
I stroked my chin for a moment, thought about it, and then asked him.
“If you get the chance, are you willing to do it?”
“… I do not know. “I feel bad because I feel like I’m betraying the prince.”
“Then you can’t do it. “If I become the 3rd Prince’s servant, I will be able to eat whatever I want.”
“… ?”
“What, a week? “I will come to the 1st Prince’s palace later, so think about it until then.”
“S-Lord Smith?”
“I’m busy dude. Just fool around for a bit and then come back. “Okay then.”
“Ahh!!”
After throwing the clingy guy onto the sofa once again, I quickly left the office and headed downstairs.
