“Miss Sophia and Master Keynes should come back soon… … .”
The Spey One family is currently paralyzed.
Sanghoe was working somehow, but the issue of the territory could not be arbitrarily decided by the vassals alone.
Celia and Phyllis, who held the title of family head, died.
In addition, all the four siblings of Delt, Serin, and Milien, including Ellen, who was the heir, lost their lives, and the retainers waited for Sophia and Kaynes with anxious expressions.
“Ji, butler! Master Keynes and Miss Sophia have arrived!”
From the young butler’s report, Dreah quickly ran to the front door of the main building.
rumbling-
A huge eight-headed carriage stopped at the front gate.
Then, a boy with black hair and a girl with white hair got off the carriage.
The two men and women looked at the burnt main building with a slightly dazed look on their faces.
“welcome.”
A boy with black hair who meets Drea. Kayneth stared blankly at the main building.
“Um, is that really the main building?”
“… … Yes that’s right.”
The employees bowed their heads to Sophia and Kayneth.
But it was not a welcoming atmosphere.
The Spey One family has become the atmosphere of a house of mourning.
Employers hurriedly found a replacement for the family head.
‘Originally, I was going to ask for help from the first lady’s parents’ family, the Duke of Delante, on behalf of the two young people… … .’
The vassals were concerned that the Spey One family would pass over to the Duke of Delante.
In the future, the Speyone family, which will be handed over to Sophia, will be a nameless family. Therefore, they urgently requested the return of Sophia and Keynes.
“Whoa, that’s fortunate. Lady Sophia has no practical experience, but Master Keynes is currently leading the Ardennes family and even running a business.”
“That’s right. If we help by our side, the two of you will surely stabilize the current situation a little bit.”
The retainers predicted that Kaynes and Sophia would normalize the family.
Meanwhile, Sophia receives a report from Drea about the current situation. She frowned and tilted her head.
“So, the stairs leading to the safe are blocked?”
“Yes, the knights are currently clearing the rocks, so soon… … .”
“… … No, leave the safe alone. I heard that the ceiling of the second basement floor is coated with mana.”
“Yes, I don’t have to worry about the safe collapsing because of it.”
“Then leave the safe and start restoring the mansion. No, I’d say rebuild. And for the head of household and others… … .”
Drea’s expression hardened, and she bent over and pointed in one direction.
“This way.”
The corpses of seven people turned into charcoal. From their physique and pieces of clothing, it was possible to identify whose corpse it was.
The moment Kayneth and Sophia saw the corpse, they immediately turned their heads and began to vomit.
I was going to show off the acting, but the two of them looked like they were going to get sick from the bottom of their heart.
“Turn off… … . Chi, what happened to the intruders?”
“Currently, the search team is pursuing.”
“To think that Spey One could be pierced so defenselessly… … .”
Drea was silent.
Certainly, the knights and wizards had nothing to say about this situation.
The knights who were on duty were annihilated. The wizards were late in assisting, and hundreds of soldiers were knocked out by just five or six intruders.
I don’t think it’s a word.
“Damn it, let’s go to the first annex first.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Sophia moved to the first annex building instead of the burnt down main building.
Kayneth and Drea followed behind him.
A temporary living room in the first annex building.
“… … Report urgent matters first.”
“All right.”
Drea immediately sent the documents prepared in advance to Sophia.
1/3 of the room was filled with papers.
“… … Kayneth, can you help me a little?”
“Yeah, that’s why I followed you.”
After a while, the family treasurer. A middle-aged woman named ‘Remille’ entered the room.
With her brown hair tied up and wearing glasses, she bowed her head deeply toward Sophia and Kayneth.
“nice to see you. My name is Remile B Radinton. Regarding this case… … .”
“stop. For now, we deal with urgent matters first.”
“… … All right.”
Sophia started to deal with the manor issue with Remille.
At the same time, Kayneth looks at the upper house’s agenda with Drea’s help. He frowned as he looked over some reports.
“this… … Is the purchase sales calculation strange? I’ll have to call the person in charge to make sure it’s accurate. Also, there is a problem with the amount and amount of supply here… … .”
After a while, the general manager of Speyone Firm. Austin came.
A middle-aged man in his 50s with gray hair. He moved over to Keynes’ side and brought up the matter that needed to be dealt with with the report that had been overdue.
The paperwork alone took six hours.
“You worked hard.”
“It will be messy for a while, but please do your best in the future.”
“Yes, then I will go back.”
Austin left the room.
After that, Lemil also left the room after finishing her work.
From noble mtl dot com
“Huu, I’ll ask about the head office and the employees.”
“Yes, we will take action immediately. Oh, and… … .”
“huh?”
“The safe was found in the head office of the main building.”
Sophia tilted her head at Dreah’s remark.
A huge safe weighing 1 ton.
Sophia requested that the safe be moved to the first annex.
“All right. then… … .”
After lowering her head, Drea left the room.
As the three disappeared, the room became quiet.
Sophia and Kayneth put their heads on their desks, looking exhausted.
“Okay, Albert gave a really concise and clear report… … .”
“Haa, noona is going through a hard time too. How long has it been since you’ve seen a job? … .”
Exhausted, the two lay down on the sofa and took a break.
smart smart
I wonder if three minutes have passed since Drea left?
At the sound of a knock, Sofia straightened her posture.
“Who is it?”
“My name is Luna, the head maid of the first annex. Dinner is ready… … .”
“Okay, I’ll be leaving soon.”
“All right.”
Sophia and Kayneth sighed and went straight down to the restaurant on the first floor.
Silence flowing in a stiff atmosphere.
The 10 maids clinging to the wall did not twitch a finger.
Sophia was seated at the head of the table.
Kayneth sat down beside her and looked at the table.
‘… … No, I’m dying of frustration.’
After a while, various foods were brought to the table.
After the two finished dinner, they moved straight to the bedroom on the 5th floor.
rattle-
“Hmm, isn’t that bad?”
Bedrooms with top quality furniture.
There were refreshments prepared by the maids on the table.
Crisp.
“It’s fine.”
Cookies with a sweet taste.
Kayneth sat down and ate the cookie with a satisfied expression on her face.
at that time,
smart-
A woman knocking on the window of the terrace.
Kenneth immediately got up from his seat.
Even if it wasn’t Endairon’s report, she had already sensed her presence. Because I intentionally let go of demonic energy as if to announce ‘I’ve come.’
click-
Kayneth unlocked the window and let her into the bedroom.
A woman in her thirties with green hair and golden eyes. Aspida, the captain of Base 17, one of Grans’ aides.
“The boundaries must have been tight… … You came in well. So how did it go?”
“Currently, we are moving a search party, but we couldn’t find any trace of Darkness.”
‘That’s right.’
Contrary to his heart, Keynes distorted his face and let out a snort.
“… … I really don’t understand. The family head must have reached the 6th circle. then… … Did the being who defeated the leader acted directly?”
Keynes, who received the news of the leader’s death a few days ago, grumbled as if she couldn’t understand the current situation.
Seeing that, Aspi shook her head slightly.
“that… … I don’t think so. There must be wizards of the 6th circle for them too. I guess… … It is suspected that the Second Apostle was attacked by surprise.”
“surely… … There was no sign of large-scale magic being used.”
“The church will appoint you as a new apostle. and… … .”
“Yes, Spay One’s funds and family head… … No, they’re trying to manipulate their father’s forces. I have no choice but to ask for your help in that regard.”
“Please leave it to me.”
Aspie lowered his head, and Kayneth narrowed his eyes slightly.
‘The matter of the demon world… … Was it a secret passed on only to members of the Apostolic class? I’m not sure if they’ll hand over the relevant information to me, but I’m going to break the gate as soon as possible.’
Keynes’ mind filled with the gate’s destruction.
At that time, Aspi took out a communication tool from her chest and showed it.
“and… … This is the communication tool that the first apostle gave me. As soon as the First Apostle received the message, he requested to be contacted.”
“Okay, contact me soon. and… … Continue the search for Darkness. I will carry on the Chaos Church’s earnest wish.”
With a declaration to rule the Labadian Empire, Aspi quietly knelt down.
“You are the legitimate successor of the Second Apostle. Please lead us.”
Seeing him pledge allegiance, Kayneth nodded once.
* * *
Aspi exits the mansion through the terrace.
I was slightly amazed at her stealth skills.
‘Certainly, if it’s as high as Aspi’s stealth… … Going in and out of the Spey One family shouldn’t be difficult.’
Moments later, Endairon entered the bedroom.
– out of town
“Yeah, good job.”
I put the communication tool down on the table, took a few deep breaths and closed my eyes.
Certainly, I feel more at ease than when I met the headmaster.
“Whoa, then… … .”
I acted expressionless and injected mana into the communication sphere.
Maybe 15-20 seconds have passed? A man’s face was reflected against the background of the study in the communication area.
Chapter 140
140. Gate (2)
Black hair and sharp eyes.
-… … Are you Keynes?
to a low-pitched voice.
“Yes that’s right.”
– It’s a pity that I couldn’t see your face in person. I am the first apostle of the Death Parade Church, and my name is ‘Britain T Arfail’. He serves as the Chancellor of the Arcard Kingdom, which borders the southern border of the Labadian Empire.
He had a rough understanding of the First Apostle’s name, country he belonged to, and position. Because it appeared several times in the original story.
Of course, I couldn’t even recognize the face… … It was the impression I had imagined.
“nice to see you. My name is Kayneth H Arden.”
-Yes, your story has often been heard in this arcade. Rather… … I am truly sorry for your father’s case.
Was it because of the curse of the mana contract? It seemed that he had no doubts about Grans’s death.
