Chapter 72. Separating from the Menisd Duke Blackie entered the room the Duke lent for himself.

A room located in a secluded place considering himself sensitive to presence.

And pondered kneeling alone in the room as if offering a prayer to the god.‘Until when do I have to kneel?’ Seeing connected to Felia probably hiding the body somewhere here.

Felia said don't let down guard even in the room and catch the concept well, but don't know until when have to do like this.‘Can a faithful spirit beast sit on a chair?’ Gradually the legs are numb.

Fortunately before cramp came to Blackie's legs men covering their faces with masks rushed in.

Among them, a man who tightly wrapped the sword handle part with cloth stood out.

He ran toward Blackie with a fierce momentum.

Blackie couldn't even properly avoid because legs numb and flopped on the floor.

The man's sword grazed Blackie and split the bed in two.

Red eyes peeked between the mask.

Eyes Blackie also well knows.

How can not know the eyes of the man who sticks beside Master every day and acts cute.

His sword this time accurately aimed at Blackie's heart.

Thanks to rolling the floor and urgently avoiding the sword the sword grazed the cheek instead of Blackie's heart.

A few strands of hair cut and fell on the floor, and a red scratch came on the cheek.

Imagining what would have happened if hit that sword goosebumps rose, bristled.‘S-said would do gently!’ No matter how looking seemed swinging the sword full of personal feelings at the fact himself sticks beside Master every day.

Resentful, but couldn't spit those words now.

At the sudden intruder the sound of knights who were far running came.

“Who is there!”

“Who is aiming at the spirit beast-nim!”

When the knights ran, Lucius ordered.

“Withdraw.”

The men wearing masks quickly exited the room and disappeared.* * *“Right? The spirit beast was attacked?”

At the chairman's words the subordinate lowered his head.

“Yes. According to the servant planted in the castle's words the cheek was severely cut with the sword. Seems tried to kidnap the spirit beast, according to the knights' words the intruders' skill seems considerable.”

“That's because the skill of the knights currently guarding the spirit beast is trash. The okay guys all went to handle demonic beasts or are suffering from the disease.”

The chairman put down the document he was holding on the desk.

“Anyway even though that spirit beast was hit like that couldn't even do one attack. Really can't fight.”

The chairman recalled Riolen.

Whether the Emperor's spirit beast Riolen has an arrogant personality and regards his own body extremely terribly.

Not only Riolen but other spirit beasts also generally had willful corners.

No way a spirit beast who willingly gets hit by the attack with the master's order hard to think within the chairman's common sense line.

“Well. If knew how to attack hard for us to kill. How is the state of the guys in the secret organization?”

“Because the master said not to drink the river water everyone is fine.”

“Good. Form the guys to catch the spirit beast and send. Can't leave continuously purifying.”

“Understood.”* * *After the raid incident Lucius raided under Felia's plan, Blackie moved rooms.

Still a secluded place, but whether cared about the raid the distance with the knights escorting himself became a bit closer.‘Annoying.’ The spirit beast's sense was sensitive and Blackie was outstanding among them.

Just separated for a few days also missed Master.

Looking back seemed only diligently being used, but the time living together with her was enjoyable.

Seeing the energy felt for now seems in this vicinity, but quite a while since couldn't even mix one word afraid of being caught.‘Lucius would like it.’ A guy who regarded himself as an eyesore even usually so how excited at the news himself separated from Felia.

Hope people aiming at himself come quickly if there are.

Blackie prayed gathering both hands with a quite faithful attitude.

And the god didn't ignore the prayer of the beast he cherishes.

Men wearing masks rushed into the room Blackie is in.

“Hey, spirit beast-nim. Don't resist and if staying quietly will send without hurting.”

Blackie welcomed the men with a rarely bright expression.

Even so only the mouth corner rose very finely, but if Felia saw would say ‘Our Blackie is really in a good mood!’ level smile.

White snowflakes fluttered inside the room.* * *While Blackie was catching a big fish, Lucius was rolling on the bed with Felia.

Because the closest position to the room Blackie is in was on the bed.

“Is Blackie doing well alone?”

Felia looked worried, but Lucius was excited able to monopolize Felia after a long time.

“That guy also all grew. Will do well alone.”

“But if doing in spirit beast appearance still extremely small so looks young.”

There's a method that works better than openly being jealous at times like this.

“Lus is also still young.”

Lucius blinked eyes acting pretty.

Maintaining the angle of tilting the head sideways and slightly looking up was an essential skill.

“You, still jealous of Blackie?”

Saying that the voice dropped affection of not knowing what to do because cute.

Of course himself thinks older sister is cuter.

The lips parting when smiling revealing white teeth also cute, and the eyes folding into a half-moon also cute.

Lucius held Felia's fingertips as if acting spoiled.

“Can't be helped. Older sister too too pretty and lovely so Lus is always anxious.”

“If can't say words.”

“It's real.”

When Lucius stuck out his lips pointed and showed a sulky air, Felia laughed as if can't be helped.

“Got it. I'll believe.”

“Then kiss.”

“Yes?”

“Do on this cheek.”

Lucius held out the smooth white cheek without even one pore even seeing closely.

Just the moment Felia's lips were about to touch, Blackie in the appearance of a small dragon rushed in through the open window.[Master, I caught!]

“Really?”

Felia's lips that were just about to touch distanced from Lucius's cheek.

Lucius fiercely glared at Blackie from behind Felia.[Eh? Why, why?]

Blackie then whether realized the atmosphere is strange checked the two people's moods.

“What? More than that Blackie, tell the culprit story a bit more in detail.”

Felia completely forgot the thing of trying to kiss Lucius, and now completely immersed in Blackie's story...

This is why himself can't like that lizard kid.* * *Blackie maintained the appearance of a holy spirit beast until the end and pretended to disappear into the forest.

Busy days passed for a while, and the Menisd Duke came to find me with a haggard face.

“Rumors related to the spirit beast spread enormously in the village. Speculation about that owner can't even say.”

“Is my name there too?”

“No, my name is there. Actually fussing I'm the most suspicious. Even today already three people came and asked ‘Duke, actually that spirit beast, the Duke is the contractor, right?’ and went.”

“The Emperor will bother the Duke enormously.”

The Menisd Duke frowned as if sick of just thinking.

“Ah, that's a bit dislike... by chance if bothering okay to say the Duchess's name?”

“Do you think I'll say okay?”

Trying to open the mouth subtly somewhere.

Firmly cutting off, the Menisd Duke drooped his body on the chair.

“...

Then can't be helped. If confronting the Duchess seems will become more bothersome so no choice but to do mouth control well.”

“Yes, please do so. What did you decide to do with the chairman?”

When interrogating the masked men Blackie caught the senate chairman's name came out.

That path the Menisd Duke led the soldiers and raided the chairman's house.

“...

A letter exchanged with the Lockwood Marquess came out from the chairman's house.”

He took out a cigarette with a tired face.

Looking too tired so I decided to let this one time pass.

“Okay to smoke.”

“...

The heart is thankful but fine.”

He put the cigarette back into the pocket with a regretful expression.

“...

Actually disliked the chairman, but still thought as the head of the senate would have some degree of responsibility. No way thought trash to the extent of putting all territory people in danger to protect his own power...”

The Menisd Duke made a young face pure blue, and said exactly like a person facing retirement.

“...

All sick of and bothersome. Want to quit all and go somewhere no people and farm alone.”

“What plan with the Lockwood Marquess?”

“Well. Whether doing territorial war, or formally claiming alimony. Pondering.”

What, this matter is a matter the Menisd Duke will do on his own so unrelated to me.

If only not the plague that circulated in the castle wouldn't have been a person hit like this.

“By chance if obtaining okay information share.”

“Of course. This matter all thanks to the Duchess. Really amazing. When the Duke Valfruga said marrying a commoner many people wondered, but now seeing really married well.”

Finishing the words he put one hand on his chest and politely bowed his head and greeted me.

“As long as I'm the Menisd Duke, our family will never forget the magic you showed.”

“While only thinking of coming down from the Duke position quickly. Then have to pray the Duke stays on the Duke position long.”

“Let that pass a bit. Going back now?”

“No, still work left.”

“What?”

“Demonic beast handling. Originally the commission the Duke requested us was that, right?”

The Menisd Duke burst into pleasant laughter.

“Ahaha, right. Originally came because of that work, right.”

A few days later, Lucius handled the demonic beasts and the Duke's commission perfectly ended.

The Menisd Duke promised to handle the demonic beasts' corpses in the Tragia Plain right away when the mages recover.

The day able to develop the Tragia Plain not far.

And now I was at the Menisd ducal house's herb transportation bid competition.
