Vol 1 Chapter 4 (1/2)

Duke Elmond

At the end of the secret passage was an ascending stone staircase

Near the top of the stone stairs, a thread of light appeared overhead

–So, and opened the door

–After adjusting to the blinding light, Cain observed his surroundings

The place looked to be a storage room, the trap door underfoot was carefully concealed in a shadowed corner

“I don’t re you” The one who opened the door was a person dressed in triance and distain, “Where’s Locke?”

“Edward? Toilet See, the ‘servant’ replied with rough words

“…Follow e · Walt, the man referred to as ‘Master Butler’ in the Duke’s Manor, snorted coldly, turning around to leave with long strides

The butler was in a very bad h he hated Golden Tooth Shark, noould be forced to personally go and make nice with more new mercenaries, this really was unpleasant

And the situation in the duke’sBefore the war a third of the servants resigned and left the capital to escape, and the new replacements froh any etiquette training to ‘make them seem smarter’

Like this new guy here, looking around all the while

If this was before the war, even some of the picker merchants won’t want sonia so blatantly, walking on the carpet of the duke’s manor with dirty shoes –It was an insult to the noble house

“We’re here” the butler stopped, knocking on the door

The door wasthe four sides, once closed, no matter how loud the screams or cries, it probably wouldn’t reach the outside

Even though it’s the ht, the door still opened quickly

The rooant, filled with the scent of incense The tapestries on the four walls were complicated and delicate, if she sees it perhaps even Queen Gracia would jealously scold “luxurious”

There was only one , very se

In the center was a n no different from those seen in the Holy Teave off an o

The one to open the door was probably Duke El, in co

Long black hair, fra expression common to the noble fops

Pale face and dark bangs under the eyes fully indicated that this was an over-indulgent individual

When he saw the servant behind the butler, and the elf in the servant’s ar at his new toy, and even deigned to interact with the servant hi him to place the elf on the altar

“My Lord,” the butler sighed softly, “though I have no rights to dictate your hobby, I still wish that during these unusual times you can…”

“Norhtly, “you never could understand how to enjoy the finer things – 400 gold was trivial, not even a month of the ‘Mernificance was that?”

“Money isn’t the problem, , the new Queen is…”

At this time the duke’s expression turned iue helplessly

“You can leave – As for you, stay” The duke pointed to the servant

The butler bowed silently, left the roo the door behind him

As the duke and the butler talked, ignoring his existence, Cain naturally sensed the reason – They never planned for this ‘servant’ to continue living Purposefully leaving hi, could it be that the duke had the habit of getting his own hands dirty, regarding silencing someone?

But afterwards, all of the duke’s attention was focused on his new toy
