101 – Grand Duke Aka – 101
“… … As you planned, I spoke to the emperor separately.”
Marvas approached me with a completely sad face and said so. That expression, which was usually full of composure, was a gloomy one no matter where it went.
“I am a swordsman… … He is the great devil of the demon realm and the devil who commands other devils… … What a gossip! Is it possible that the person who is the great devil and the great demon king is telling a story!”
Oh, was it because of that?
Fortunately, I had predicted that Marvas would come out like this, so I put the work aside before Marvas returned from the imperial palace.
“Don’t be too sad. Marvas! We were able to win thanks to Marvas-sama!”
That is Rosé’s extensive reading.
“It would have been really difficult if Marvas-nim hadn’t helped. Thank you so much!”
Even though Rosé had said this, there was no way Marvas would be more cunning here.
If I said anything more here, it would be like becoming a really small archevil.
“you’re right. I am truly grateful to Lord Marvas.”
Also, thank you from Priscilla
“Did you see it again? Inspiration. I didn’t know you were a demon who could sacrifice for others.”
“Marbas, are you a man?”
Praise from Paimon and Raphael.
It made no sense for Marvas, who had been saving face so far, to get even more angry in this situation.
“Kuh, kuhm. If you say so… … . I was able to help you with this face alone, so it was cheap.”
look
Doesn’t it work in the end?
Buying the face of the great devil with compliments, it couldn’t be anything other than a cheap business.
“So, the emperor summoned the third prince to the throne?”
“Yes, and before coming, I heard that the prince was returning to the imperial family by turning the carriage.”
“Good. Then, all that remains is to wait.”
The 3rd prince, who was returned by the imperial order, will have no choice but to come to the White Silver Palace to receive Marvas’ teaching.
In the process, we were going to ask the 3rd prince about his relationship with Samael, the fallen angel, and what happened to the scribe.
It was a consideration for the emperor, who valued that his children fight over the succession to the throne, but not take each other’s lives.
Just then, there was a knock on the door to Priscilla’s room.
“hmm? Did anyone come?”
When I asked Priscilla at the sudden knock, she also made an expression as if she had never heard of it.
“no? I’ve never heard of anyone visiting… … .”
Then, a familiar voice came from beyond the door.
“Princess? Rosé? Gregory?”
It was Pi’s voice.
“hmm? What is this voice?”
Marvas also turned to look at the door, probably realizing that it was a familiar voice.
“I’ll open it!?”
Rose, who was sitting in the seat, jumped up and opened the door making a dodo-dot sound.
There, Pie, whose face was much more haggard than a few days ago, was smiling.
“ah… … . No matter how many times I knocked on the door, the door wouldn’t open.
“You must have been busy with the imperial family’s security work… … . Did you find me?”
Pie stroked Rosé’s head as she tilted her head.
“Yeah, I heard that a nice guest came to visit. Yes? Lord Marvas.”
Pie, who had been stroking Rosé’s hair, glanced at this place where Marvas was and smiled.
“You… … . Huh, has that little girl who used to make potions grown up like this already?”
Marvas, who looked a little gloomy until just now, greets the pie with a bright smile.
“It was hundreds of years ago. I’m pretty old now, right? Ah, princess. May I go inside?”
Priscilla, who had been staring blankly at the conversation between the two, nodded.
“Ah, whatever. Peony.”
“thank you. Excuse me then.”
Pie entering the room. She smiles at Marvas standing in front of her.
“It’s been a while?”
“… … Right. It’s been a long time. I heard that you are receiving the title of duke in the Empire, but you can see it all here.”
“I am… … I haven’t had a chance to hear the news of Marvas. I don’t know anyone… … .”
“hahahaha, that’s right. Because you have few words in the original body. By the way, I guess you haven’t heard that he came besides me?”
“yes? someone else… … Paimon?”
“Heh, you find it quickly.”
“Kyaaak! Paimon-sama!!!”
Finding Paimon, Pi ran to him and hugged her.
“It’s been so long!”
“Ugh, ugh! choking! get off! Get out!”
“Ah~ You’re still cute, it’s against the rules.”
And Marvas staring at the scene as if he couldn’t stop it.
Rose, who cautiously approached this, asked me.
“Oh, Gregory! My aunt, who is famous for being very shy, is talking to Marvas as if she is very close, and is hugging Paimon… … !”
It seemed that it was quite unfamiliar to Rosé’s eyes.
“Because they are the members who defeated the disaster together with the past hero Lars.”
“Oh, was it? It’s amazing to see a meeting of heroes that have only been passed down in legends… … .”
Priscilla cautiously approaches us.
“… … Do you think it would be better for us to step aside?”
“Go to our room. Judging from their appearance, it seems that there are quite a few stories left behind.”
“Maybe?”
We decided to move our seats gently.
So, after returning to our room and spending time talking about future events or chatting, three people with bright smiles entered the room.
“Looks like you’ve loosened all of your clothes.”
“Yes, I can’t believe Rose made a contract with Lord Marvas… … I can’t believe it. Besides, a friendship with Paimon-sama… … ?”
“yes? lol… … It happened.”
Rosé answers while scratching her head as if embarrassed.
Pai smiled wryly as if he felt something when he saw it.
“You are doing really well. Rosé.”
“yes? ah… … yes!”
As I was gazing at the scene with satisfaction, I saw the figure of a restless person behind the three of them.
“I… … . Her Highness the Princess and Marvas-sama. And your companions? According to information just received from the imperial family, the third prince has arrived.”
Judging from the maid outfit she was wearing, her attitude, and her appearance, she seemed to be Priscilla’s person. Hearing her words, Priscilla stood up from her seat.
“thank you. It looks like Kanan has arrived. Shall we prepare too?”
Perhaps, today would be the most dangerous day in the Empire.
* * *
In the distance, I saw two figures approaching this place.
He was the 3rd prince, Kanon Anne Heinbern, and the imperial secretary.
“… … A fugitive has arrived.”
Marvas, who was out in the empty lot of Silver Palace with a wooden sword, grinned at them.
When they spotted us, their faces full of displeasure, they hesitated for a moment, then slowly approached and bowed their heads towards Marvas.
“Meet the Sword Saint Marvas.”
“Yes, nice to meet you. I heard that the vassal is very sick… … Do you think things are getting better?”
To translate Marvas’ words, ‘I was caught trying to escape, how do you feel?’ it will be about
“Since His Majesty said that he would personally send an imperial doctor, I think it will be all right. I just want to apologize to Lord Marvas for almost leaving.”
To interpret the prince’s words, ‘My father knew, but did you do it? looks like a dog really.’ I would like to be
“Good luck. By the way, why did the secretary over there come?”
Translated, this also means, ‘Yeah~ I did it right~ Flirt~ By the way, what are you doing here?’
“Anyway, would Her Highness’s move alone damage the honor of the imperial family? I am concerned Because I am confident in magic, I followed.”
Translation: If you send him alone, do you know what you guys will do? I’m doing some magic, so don’t be silly.
“Well, since your heart understands it, it will pass. I wonder if you can watch over there.”
Translation: Yes, even if I have you, nothing will change. Crouch over there and take a look.
“Yes, I actually saw the swordsmanship of the Sword Saint Marvas. I will consider it an honor.”
Translation: Neng.
Cursing the other person in a polite tone, isn’t this really etiquette?
It was a truly beautiful sight.
“Rosé, we practice Gregory style, not that old man’s swordsmanship.”
“It’s been a while since Gregory! Gregory-style instructor Rose von Euglia! I ask for instruction from the Gregorian master!”
“I won’t accept it.”
While I was playing with Rosé, exchanging conte moderately, I felt a stinging gaze from the side.
When I turned my head, I saw Marvas and the third prince looking at us.
So what.
Looking at him with those eyes, Marvas shook his head and looked at the prince again.
“Then, let the others wait.”
“… … It must be your sister.”
“Yes, the emperor asked for you and the princess.”
And just like that, Priscilla changed into an elegant ball gown and came out of the Silver Palace with Raphael.
“Hey~ Gregory~ Rosé~ We changed our clothes.”
Instead of the academy uniform he wore when he was active, he was wearing a pure white uniform.
It felt completely different from the usual appearance.
“Priscilla! Raphael! So cute!”
“right? Priscilla. I’m right. Are you really cute?”
“Stop it because it’s embarrassing, Raphael… … . By the way, I’m being taught by Marvas, but why is Raphael wearing a uniform?”
“me? I tried to learn from Gregory and Rosé that Gregory kind of thing. Since Gregory uses his fists, you thought it would be nice to learn them?”
“is it so? Should I take this opportunity to learn well and let me know?”
“Yeah~.”
That’s how Priscilla comes to Marvas and Raphael comes to us.
And even the scribe who is watching us from behind.
Now that all the actors are gathered, it’s time to start the play.
“Raphael! Welcome to the Gregorian world! I am a Gregory-style instructor. It’s Rosé! From now on, call me Master Rosé! Shook! Shuk suk!”
Rosé steps on the spot and shows off a flamboyant punch in the air.
“… … … .”
Why is he so sincere?
