49 – camp (4)

The capital of the Rothenberg Empire, Tarantis.

From Prüch Academy, located not far from the Imperial Palace, take a carriage and drive north for about thirty minutes.

It is the capital’s largest wealthy village with many aristocratic villas and business centers.

its name is famous

Royal Central.

In the center of the aristocratic meeting hall,

There was a school residence for the Duke of Roelheim’s family.

A colorful garden decorated with tulips, roses, chrysanthemums and orchids.

Oak trees and oak trees hugged the promenade that stretched below,

Dogs, cats, rabbits and other small and cute animals roam leisurely on the lawn.

From an apple tree with bright red apples to the nature-friendly scenery surrounding the mansion.

Boasting a picturesque landscape, this place was an emerging hot place for artists.

But today, Catherine’s residence had a slightly different atmosphere than usual.

Instead of painters who paint watercolors with mansions in the background,

Carriages engraved with the patterns of high-ranking nobles were filling up in front of the main gate.

To the extent that nobles who passed by the minister stopped their wagons, wondering what the hell was going on.

it arrived late

The same was true of the hostess of Count Geoffrey.

The hostess of Count Geoffrey’s family, who has turned 40 this year, puts on full makeup and wears a top-notch dress that is not often worn when going out to social events.

There was even a luxury fan made of swan feathers that had been carefully enshrined.

After going to an interview at the academy with my son,

Fully armed for the first time.

As she got off the carriage, her eyes widened in surprise.

“They are…”

Marquis Ian, Viscount Cassia, Viscount Ronnie and so on.

The hostesses of high-ranking aristocratic families who are said to use strength in the empire,

Under the guidance of the butler, they were moving their steps inside the mansion in an orderly manner.

Twenty-six familiar faces.

‘okay. Somehow, I felt familiar.’

Something in common with the noble ladies gathered here.

It was the fact that he had a son who was in Class A of the Academy Engineering Faculty.

Apparently, Lady Miya from the family of Duke Kaisel,

Except for Prince Ugo of the Maclean family,

It seems that all the parents of Class A received a letter from Sword Master Leon yesterday.

She got out of the carriage and stood at the end of the line,

I spoke to the woman standing right in front of me.

“It’s been a while, Viscount Cassia.”

“Countess Geoffrey! It’s the first time I’ve seen you since the last parents’ meeting.”

The countess responded with a bright smile to the viscountess who greeted her warmly.

“I thought I came quite early, but I didn’t expect that I would be the last.”

“Hoho. I really agree.”

“Did the Viscount come to see Leon-sama too?”

“Of course. Did you know? The first among us is the Marquis Ian.”

“Oh.”

The Marquis, always with a haughty expression,

I never thought I would have been terribly concerned about my son.

“As expected, you can’t tell just by looking at the outside.”

“Ho-ho. That’s what I mean.”

The two of them chatting with their fans open,

They turned their gaze to the butler who had approached them.

shiny red hair.

The back of her hair was neatly tied down with a hair tie.

A handsome face that would make aristocratic ladies cry.

Red eyes and a small face,

Strong body and tall height due to long training.

Even the beautiful black longsword hanging from Leon’s waist.

A man who can be said to be a model of a handsome butler,

He put his hand on his chest and bowed his head to the two of them.

“Welcome to the mansion of the daughter of the Duke of Roelheim, Catherine von Roelheim. I am Leon, the butler serving the princess of Roelheim.”

“You are the famous sword master Leon.”

“You are much more handsome than I heard.”

The two exclaimed and their eyes lit up.

“It’s too much praise.”

“It’s not an exaggeration. I don’t think the marriage talks will stop, right?”

“Haha. Not really.”

‘Although all of them are cut in Lady Catherine’s line.’

Leon smiled modestly.

The supernova of the academy class A to which the son belongs.

A man who was given immunity from immunity by the emperor and was bestowed with treasures from the imperial family.

Leon guided the noble ladies who had been visiting the mansion from the morning wind to the drawing room.

“……Leon?”

A silver-haired beauty who keeps an eye on a red-haired young man.

The owner of Leon, the owner of this mansion,

Catherine, the daughter of the Duke of Roelheim, was observing the servant from behind a wall with only her face sticking out.

“I will prepare refreshments.”

“You don’t have to.”

“I also agree with the Marquis.”

“Still, they’re guests, but as a butler, you can’t neglect hospitality. I’ll be back soon, so please wait for a moment.”

“Then, please.”

The eyebrows of the twenty-seven ladies drew an arc.

Leon passed by the ladies who whispered, ‘He’s handsome, but he’s polite’, and headed toward the restaurant.

“Miss Lena, go and prepare some refreshments,”

“Miss Freah, please have some tea.”

“Other maids set the tableware.”

“All right.”

“I’ll prepare it right away.”

After giving simple instructions to the nearby maids,

He approached the owner, who was hiding in a camisole.

“Miss Catherine. What are you doing here?”

“Leon, are those people…?”

“Did I tell you last night? You and your classmates will live together from today.”

“I’m sure you heard it.”

“These are the mothers of those Class A students.”

“yes?”

At Leon’s answer, she tilted her head.

“It looks like all the noble ladies are here. Is there a reason for that?”

“It must be because of this.”

He pulled out a letter from the inside pocket of his butler’s coat.

One of Miya and Ugo might be missing, so I wrote another copy as soon as I woke up just in case.

In carefully written words,

The princess of the duke shook her head.

“Now I understand.”

“I didn’t expect it, but I didn’t know that all families would come.”

“Whoops. It’s been a while since Leon’s embarrassed expression.”

“I was a little taken aback, but I don’t think everyone came here with bad intentions.”

He never expected that the situation would turn out like this.

Still, I thought at least a few would come.

Not enough to provide food or shelter,

It was because Leon, who could be said to have the highest share price in the empire, voluntarily trained him.

However, I did not expect that the hostesses of all the families who received the letter would come.

To the extent that there are people who came even by using that expensive space teleportation magic.

It can be said that the enthusiasm for the education of children is really great.

“By the way, Leon, what happened yesterday?”

“Nothing happened. Why is that?”

“Ummm, what should I say?”

Katherine stares straight into Leon’s eyes.

“Leon… being stolen by Lady Miya… I think I had a nightmare.”

hot feeling.

In Leon’s mind, the words Miya said yesterday remain intensely in his head.

Not even a ghost, but Catharine’s single word referring to Miya in a pinch made Leon feel goosebumps.

He pretended not to know and decided to ask.

“……Me? To Miya?”

“yes…….”

“It couldn’t have been.”

“I think so too…

A woman looking up at him with out-of-focus pupils.

“… My hands and feet were shaking, my heart was pounding, and I couldn’t breathe properly.”

“…”

“I was overcome with a terrible feeling, as if I was going to commit murder. Really… I don’t know why I had such a nightmare.”

“…”

“I’ve been training too much magic lately, so maybe it’s because I’m tired…?”

“Pee, if you’re tired, maybe.”

“……Is that right?”

Leon, looking at the smiling young lady,

Breaking out in a cold sweat, he smiled like a machine.

“So don’t worry…”

“If you are taken away by another woman.”

“……miss?”

“If something so cruel happens… I might really die with you.”

A bright smiling face.

On the contrary, the daughter of Duke Catherine, who speaks fearfully in a very calm manner.

Leon’s movement as he faced the owner lady stopped as it were, like a toy that had lost its spring.

Whoa!

Before long, the magic sword tied to Leon’s waist trembled, and a gray spear floated above his field of vision.

Tring!

[‘Demonic Sword: Serpent of Jealousy’ screams as it rampages along the road!]

[Please check the message… … ]

[The message is forcibly opened to the magic sword’s ‘rage beyond capacity’!]

—-Master’s life is mine, mad human woman… … !

[We have confirmed the problem with the system!]

[Forcing the message to close!]

“…”

“You must be busy, but you’ve been holding on too long.”

“…”

“Even if noble ladies seduce you, don’t ever fall for an older woman.”

No, this lady has read too many novels or plays.

‘It’s not some kind of love and war.’

He had no interest in touching a woman who owned it.

Leon thought so,

He replied with a deep sigh.

“Everyone must have a family, I don’t think so.”

“It’s a way to catch people.”

“Don’t worry about it. And, you’re not carelessly talking about dying or dying.”

“……I’m sorry. I was too careless.”

A woman responding in a low voice to Leon’s serious tone.

“However…….”

But Catherine’s pupils changed their appearance in an instant.

in the form of a sharp blade,

Vertical pupils like snakes.

“Because I’m serious.”

How long have you been waiting for this year when you both come of age?

It’s ten years.

I’ve been living for twenty years,

It’s like waiting for half of them.

But you’re handing Leon over to women who want to eat it raw with just a spoon?

‘Absolutely not.’

“He’s worrying for nothing. It’s not going to happen, so don’t worry about it.”

“Really?”

“Seriously, you should go up to your room. I have to go see the ladies.”

“I’m sorry I kept you on hold for so long. I’ll see you later, Leon.”

“May you rest in peace.”

After hearing the servant’s confirmation, Lady Catherine smiled with a relieved expression.

Then, silently stepping up the stairs.

Leon looked at the back of the jealous owner.

He murmured as he shook his head as if he couldn’t stop it any time soon.

“It’s better not to talk about Miya.”

The owner’s obsession is getting worse day by day.

So far, I’ve been able to get through it just fine.

I feel like I’ve reached my limit now.

After the academy exchange meeting,

I really feel like I have to write something.

‘If it doesn’t work, I have no choice but to let myself fall…’ … .’

Leon swallowed dry saliva and turned his back.
