Chapter 207

TL: Zimmings

It was the first defeat.

Another challenger then entered the ring. Henry approached Leblaine, who had started reading the book, and smiled.

“Leblaine.”

“Yes?”

“Shuheil will probably be busy with his father. Calling at this time when you are helping his father heal will feel more like coercion. If you’re kind, you wouldn’t want Edgar Shuheil to come by force right?”

He said in an unbelievably friendly tone. Leblaine organize his thoughts before answering.

“It’s okay!”

“……What?”

“Even if you forced him, it’s fine.”

I can’t be nice to everyone, so I’ll prioritize Linda first.

He’s a very precious person to Linda.

Leblaine smiled brightly, and Henry quietly retreated.

It was the second defeat.

The next challenger was the Duke of Dubblede. He declared with a stern voice.

“There are a lot of things going on in the mansion right now. So-”

“Oh right!”

Leblaine, who clapped her hands, hugged her father’s neck.

“I forgot to greet you today. Good morning.”

“……Yes.”

“But what’s going on in the mansion?”

Theodore quickly said.

“……It’s nothing.”

“Yes!”

Another defeat.

Henry and Isaac, who were staring at the duke, jabbed at Johann om the side.

‘Are we going to leave it like this?’

‘Do something.’

He took a step forward at the passionate gaze of his two younger brothers.

“Little sister.”

When Leblaine turned her head, Johann looked at her.

The servants, who were watching the situation from afar, waited nervously for the attack of the last challenger.

Johann slowly opened his mouth.

“It’s okay to play around for a while.”

“……Huh?”

At the pathetic remark, the faces of Henry and Isaac were severely distorted.

‘That crazy…’

‘Is he crazy? Why is you talking nonsense again!’

At that time, Leblaine said with an unhappy expression.

“I didn’t play around!”

The butler rubbed his forehead. Then he felt the signs of the storm and whispered to the servants.

“Bring him.”

In the case of an emergency in Dubblede, Chairman Noanoke, who always gave the right answer, was called.

***

I sat quietly in the chair, put my hands together, and glanced at the chairman.

“No, I didn’t know my brothers could talk nonsense with such a serious face…”

“Why did you want to meet Lord Shuheil?”

Linda’s personal history could not be easily shared, so the chairman shut his mouth.

“Lady. From ship remodeling to temple monitoring, mercenary guild oversight, I forced myself to work with my old body. But whenever something happens, I need to go here and solve everything?”

“…….”

“Your ancestors never treated me like this!”

Seeing the chairman with a haggard face, I laughed awkwardly.

“Please be patient, I’ll tell you later.”

“You always use that word since a year ago.”

“Ah, I forgot about Trigon.”

“Will the head of the imperial mage, who must be in the Imperial Palace every time, help you with your work?”

“…No.”

I had no choice but to open my mouth.

“Should I only tell you?”

“When was the last time you shared your worries with someone else?”

“Linda has a son. But that son is Edgar Shuheil.”

“……!”

The pen fell from the chairman’s hand.

“… His Excellency and the Master, didn’t know?”

“If they had known, it wouldn’t be like this right?”

“I see… They don’t know.”

“I’m very grateful to Linda. She is so precious to me that I want to let her meet her son. It’s Linda’s personal life, so I don’t want to tell my family.”

“… You indeed owe Linda a lot.”

The chairman nodded and continued.

“Okay. This time, I will meet them and fix the situatiom. But, how are you going to get Storas back?”

“Huh?”

“If the meria grass becomes the main ingredient for effective drugs, demand will skyrocket. It would be impossible to erase the traces of meria from the human world. Didn’t you know that you gave it to Taylor? I knew it meant that you had no intention of granting Storas’ wishes.”

“Leave it to me. Oh, by the way, can you contact Dubblede’s investigation team? I’ll ask Henry to help as well.”

As I laughed slyly, the chairman frowned.

“What other evil thoughts are you thinking? … Alright then.”

The chairman raised his eyebrows and left.

“By the way, are you getting a good night’s sleep these days?”

“Why?”

“Just go get a good night’s sleep. Don’t worry about it.”

Having said that, the chairman really left. I pouted and rubbed my face.

‘How did he know that I was not able to sleep well?’

The chairman was surprisingly quick-witted.

‘If I had a grandfather, wouldn’t it be like him?’

Thinking like that, I inadvertently looked at the portraits of the ancestors on the wall and frowned.

‘Not a bad grandfather like them. A good grandfather.’

I let out my tongue at the portrait and got up from the chair.

‘Come on, let’s work. I won’t let the chairman die due to overwork!’

That afternoon, the chairman met the brothers. I don’t know what he said but the faces of my brothers were bright the whole time throughout the dinner.

Isaac placed a large chunk of meat on my plate.

Then he said,

“… So what are you so proud of?”

Concentrating on eating the lamb, I asked him back, “Huh?”

Isaac coughed again and said.

“No, why do you want to brag about us? Isn’t it obvious that we’re better than Edgar?”

Then Henry patted Isaac and said,

“Stop it. Leblaine is embarrassed.”

Have I ever felt embarrassed? Johann said, while chopping the meat that Isaac gave me.

“If you want to hear about the academy, just ask us. You don’t have to call him.”

Now I understand what the chairman had said.

He must’ve said something like ‘The lady called him to brag about the young masters.’ or ‘She must have been curious about the academy.

I laughed awkwardly.

“Yes. I’m proud of you guys… I wonder how you guys are doing at the academy. I’m going to the academy soon.”

“Huh, because you loved us so much, I really don’t want to go back to the academy. Ah, this is burdensome.”

And then why do they keep smiling?

I rolled my eyes after seeing them. My father dipped the meat Johann had cut with a fork and offered it to me.

“My graduation photo is in the library.”

“…….”

“…Why.”

“Nothing.”

I didn’t know why other people said that my family was abnormal, but now that I see it, it may not be wrong at all.

For some reason, I felt ominous.

And that ominous feeling became a reality after a few days.

***

I touched my forehead when I heard a loud voice coming from the drawing room.

‘I only asked him to invite Edgar Shuheil, so why!’

Some people in Isaac and Henry’s class were also invited.

All of them were young masters and ladies from powerful families, so it wasn’t just a normal gathering.

“Oh, Henry always hadba wise, sociable personality. Also, there are many people admired him…”

“I, I, Isaac is in good spirits today! Oh, hello there. Lady, I usually get help from Isaac. Isaac is a friendly, caring friend, so he always buys bread for me…!”

I looked at the academy students who were praising Henry and Isaac as if they had memorized those words from somewhere.

Isaac put his arm on the shoulder of the student who triumphantly praised him.

“I really do help a lot. Righ5?”

“O, of course!”

“He saved me when I was caught by a wild boar in the last training session!”

“T, that’s right! … It would have been better if he didn’t throw me in the boar cage… Oh no, I mean Isaac is a lifesaver!”

“Yes, yes.”

I took a deep breath and gestured to Isaac.

“Isaac.”

“Yes?”

“You can’t ask your friend to buy you bread. It’s even worse to throw them into a boar cage.”

“Huh?”

“You can’t.”

“Yes….”

As I stared at him fiercely, Isaac shook his head sullenly.

I told Isaac’s classmate, who spoke pitifully.

“If he bothers you again, please contact me. My communication device code is…”

Then, the student’s expression brightened.

“Yes! Lady! Code, code…memo paper!”

“Me too!”

“Yes, I’d like to contact you too!”

The classmates started looking for the memos, and the servants started running around with them frantically.

Among them was Linda, who accidentally dropped a wad of notes while handing them to a boy with red and a hint of violet hair.

“Oh, I’m sorry…”

“It’s okay.”

Edgar, who was next to the boy, picked up the note and handed it to her. Linda and Edgar’s eyes met each other.

“…….”

“Here. Take it.”

Edgar speak to her, and Linda bit her lip.

Just then,

Krkrkr-!!

The mansion began to shake with a loud roar.

‘What?!’

As I turned my head, I could see Storas’ body, floating in the air.

[I can’t kill you, but I can make you suffer enough to die. Foolish child.]
