<Episode 39>   I tried to persuade Rue like a child who wanted to play outside even when it’s gotten dark for no reason.   “I’ll be right back.”   “I told you to rest, darling. I understand your anxiety. Weak people tend to have difficulty controlling their mind and body, have you ever seen…

<Episode 38>  “…….”  “Did he use a familiar type of swordsmanship? Or was his technique unfamiliar even to you, who’s dealt with quite a few swordsmen?”  Usually, Jean would obey the swordmaster’s demands and orders without hesitation. However, today, Jean looked at him a little differently.   This was because Viscount Weatherwoods’ request had come to…

<Episode 37>  “What the hell is thi-”   No, wait a second.  ‘Let’s think logically.’  From what I’d observed the past month, there is always a reason to whatever Rue does.  He persuaded the maid to let us come here by using the excuse of ‘managing me.’ That meant he wouldn’t have just brought this lady…

<Episode 36>  Jean’s sword resonated in its scabbard.   Befitting the fierce sound, its owner’s spirit too sharpened.  Jean took a deep breath and then flashed open her eyes.  “I will not refuse your kindness!”   A new version of Jean flew towards me. Both her posture and toes were perfectly neat and concise. Therefore, it was…

<Episode 35>  “I accept your request. However, if Miss Jean Berkeley comes to defeat by me, please deprive her of her right to succeed.”   If he wished to move me from the fishes here, he’d have to show me a bigger fish.  This was the philosophy of a maid who did not work without pay. …

<Episode 34> I saw how it was. According to how Volkwin and Yeager talked about the factions, there was no family with a position more ambiguous than the Weatherwoods family. First of all, the Weatherwoods family participated in the war, but they did not not receive any benefits afterwards. In addition, since they hadn’t participated…

<Episode 33> The expressions of the two men, who were exchanging silly jokes, became strange. “…are you asking how she is as a candidate in the marriage market?” I answered with a shrug. “If she’s that talented, isn’t she basically a gold mine? The newspaper company will go to your brother, so you’ll have to…

<Episode 32> On the third day, I watched the opera, which wasn’t fun at all. On the fourth day, I attended a concert, which was insanely boring. On the fifth day… ‘No, get your wits together. You can’t afford to be idle like this, or your relationship with the assassin butler will be ruined –…

<Episode 31>  This was the first time I’d heard of the duel between the two successors, but the surrounding circumstances seemed to be easily understandable.  The duties and rights of the Guardian families were famously known in the Magic Alliance.  The Duke’s family, Berkeley.  ‘Guardians of the empire, protectors of the royal family of Penrotta.’  …

<Episode 30> Perhaps it was because we were close to the sky, the sunlight was especially strong. I stared blankly at the ceiling in the middle of the bright bedroom, as if it had been lit by dozens of lanterns. ‘It’s been a long time since I woke up feeling so refreshed.’ For me, who…

<Episode 29> As I followed the two men who didn’t seem to know how to read the atmosphere, the road to the super-large private airfield appeared. We re-loaded ourselves in the carriage prepared there. As soon as I sat down inside, Rue asked what was so funny that I’d kept staring at the back of…

<Episode 58>   “Their goal was power, or more precisely, the absolute power that can be achieved through the transformation into a demigod! Those who pursue power without considering the means and methods are easily caught in traps. I have played the role of a living trap! Where should I start the story? When I…

<Episode 57>   The old man fell on the sofa a beat faster than I’d expected.  I reflexively rushed to his side and checked his breathing. Fortunately, he was not dead.   ‘Yes, he’s not dead….’   He was keeping a close eye on us. He was calm. He stood in the same spot where…

<Episode 56>   Look who was talking. “That’s what I say. I learnt it from you in the first place, Mr. Rue.” His face was still stained with deep bewilderment, so I had no choice but to reassure him.   “I know that there’s no way Mr. Rue likes me.” “I feel like I’ve heard…

<Episode 55>     Rue, who was listening to the head maid’s requests with a soulless face, nodded to my question.  “Then pick me up from the market in half-an-hour.”   “Where?”  “I’ll wait in front of the pub named <Piece of Land.>   “I have to go on foot?”   “…….”  “Hmm, even though we’re indeed a couple…

<Episode 54>   Jean was hired as the fourth employee of the Weatherwoods family. Her position was the Butler.   After trimming her silver hair short and donning a male employee’s attire, Jean’s appearance had changed enough to pass as a man at a glance. With a height of around 170cm, she possessed a solid…
