I Became the illegitimate son of a duke

83 – Court (3)

“”Uh, uh…””

“Yes?”

At the restaurant, the servants who received orders from Chloe and Ines talk to Jeanne at the same time.

Both of them have stiff muscles, their joints are stretched, their words are trembling, and their faces are slightly reddened. Other people who saw this scene are paying attention to the three of them with smiles on their faces as if they were having a fun love affair.

In reality, it is true that both of them have feelings for Jeanne. Because there is no man in the world who would hate an innocent girl with such a beautiful appearance, cute actions and words, and no awareness of men.

Before the two received Jeanne’s blessing, they would have acted only for her orders, but now that their worn-out emotions have been restored and their fanatical loyalty and fear have faded, their own feelings are more important than those orders. .

“…There is someone you are looking for.”

“He said he would understand if I said the promise in prison.”

Of course, orders are orders, and even if you don’t follow them sincerely, you have to obey the orders of your superiors to have a smooth social life.

Ines’ servant has too many eyes, so instead of mentioning Ines, she turns around and invites Jeanne.

“Hey…If the two of you ask me to follow you…”

“It’s okay. The destination is the same.”

“Yes…? Ah… Yes, I understand.”

At the words that the two have the same destination, Jeanne puts on a puzzled expression and tilts her head, but she nods her head with an awkward smile. Looking at the energy emanating from the bodies of the two, there is a little desire, but this is enough to be considered a good person.

She believes that Ho-in can’t do anything wrong, and Jeanne obediently follows the two, and the others who see it open their mouths slightly and sigh. Aren’t they sneaky guys trying to drag a woman to a dark place with a plausible excuse to anyone?

“Wait a minute, hey.”

“Yes?”

“You shouldn’t blindly follow someone you don’t know. Above all, you haven’t even finished mopping yet.”

Those who see an innocent girl following a stranger catch Jeanne and the two of them. The panicked minions try to say something, but as cold eyes rain down on them from all sides, they can’t say anything and just keep their mouths shut.

“Where do you guys belong? Ah… Are these the newcomers, somehow?”

“Can’t you see we’re cleaning the restaurant? It’s still business hours. Why are you guys walking around?”

“I also received orders—”

“Orders? Whose orders?”

“That’s…”

There is no way I can say it.

Loyalty aside, it was obvious that bringing up the names of Chloe and Ines would cause huge problems.

It is natural to be kicked out of the palace and lose your job, and you may be dealt with by an assassin.

“…”

“… Ha. Guys, kick them out.”

“Yes, Captain.”

The servants, who saw the servants closing their mouths, responded [As expected!] And forcibly kicked the two out of the restaurant. Knowing very well that they should not return empty-handed, the two try to get Jeanne out by any means, but they can’t because of the fearful spirit of the servants who protect Jeanne.

The two minions are thrown out of the door by the servants as they are, and Jeanne just stares at the situation she can’t keep up with and slowly looks around her.

“Okay, they’ve forgotten now… So, you’re going to college?”

“Yes? Ah… Yes, I was given a job in the castle as a condition of going to university.”

“Hey, I heard that even the nobles couldn’t get in, so there was an uproar. I guess the back stomach is huge? Uh… Was I being too rude?”

“Ahahahaha… No, it’s fun.”

After the uninvited guest disappeared, the servants resumed cleaning and work as before, asking a lot of questions to Jeanne, a newcomer. Jeanne answers all of these questions while thinking of the two people in her head.

‘It’s the two of them.’

I could feel a slight, but familiar, unpleasant feeling from the two of them. That means the people looking for me are probably Chloe and Ines.

Besides, the promise in prison… I did have that kind of conversation with Chloe, who came by in the middle of the night, the day before I left for the city.

[Don’t tell anyone who I killed.]

[Are you afraid of losing your identity or being hated?]

[No, I’m afraid my brother will be shocked. If you don’t listen to me, you’ll never see your brother forever.]

[…Then could you just kill me now? Isn’t that the surest silence?]

[No, you have to tell me what Ines did. If you do, I will ask my brother to treat you better.]

‘Hmm…’

At the time, I was evasive, saying that you could only know for sure if you saw Ines in person.

By promise, that’s probably what she meant, since she said she’d take you to the same place, so look at Cainès and find out what he’s done.

“You’ve been living alone up until now?”

“Yes, but not anymore. I have found my one and only.”

“He? Ah… That’s too bad. There’s already an owner.”

‘Keuk, my treatment?’

Now that my body is free and I can work at the Holy Son’s shelter, my treatment here cannot be any better.

This consolation is only to become one with the saint, but if you look at the personality of those witches, they may not mix their bodies under control, but they will never admit that I voluntarily mix with the saint. I don’t have any hobbies like that.

There’s no way you can keep a promise where you know the outcome. Why should I keep my promise to the evil one?

“Well, there’s no way there isn’t.”

“Ah…”

“No, this is better. Let’s just be pretty colleagues, as everyone will notice.”

“hehehe…”

‘Then it would be better to just ignore it and not go.’

While cleaning while talking to others, Jeanne constantly thinks about her future work in her head.

…………

Smart –

‘…Yes.”

“Come in.”

Knowing that the beat, height, and speed of the knock are completely unreliable, Chloe and Ines carefully give permission to the person outside the door differently from usual.

“…Excuse me.”

“Leclerc?”

“Meet Your Highness, Ines.”

“Ah…! It’s been a while. Mr. Leclerc.”

“It’s been a while, Chloe.”

When Leclerc appears from the open door, Ines, who has entrusted him with authority as a proxy, tilts his head with a curious look on what is going on, and Chloe greets Leclerc with a look on her face as she sees her grandfather after a long time.

Leclerc greets both of them using the greeting method used when meeting a relative of the master. Seeing this, Chloe smiled happily and nodded her head in satisfaction, and Ines was a bit sarcastic at the fact that she greeted Chloe like that, but for now, it’s true that they’re relatives, so it’s okay.

If you dare to get angry with something like this, it will harm the child in your womb. Above all, he greeted me first, so I can tolerate this much.

“Ines-sama, I have business this time. I would appreciate it if you could look at this document.”

“Documents…?”

Ines puts on a puzzled expression and accepts the documents Leclerc gave him, then sits on the bed and reads them.

Ines’ expression looked perfectly peaceful as he read the documents, but Leclerc sighed deeply as he observed Ines’ expression.

‘You’re trying hard to pretend to be calm, but the corners of your eyes and cheekbones sometimes twitch for a very short time, and most of all, your pupils are slightly smaller compared to the first time.’

I couldn’t believe it was real.

…I must report this to His Majesty.

After checking Ines’ reaction, Leclerc sighs inwardly as he realizes that the assumption [Ines deliberately planted such baseless characters] Was correct.

‘Most of them must be related to the Duchy of Laurel.’

Otherwise, hiring people with unknown origins would not explain it.

In some cases, it is an act that can be regarded as treason.

“…Yes, I understand. Do as you please.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Ines hands the documents back to Leclerc with slightly trembling hands, and Leclerc politely accepts them and bows his head.

Leclerc, who was about to leave the room after receiving the documents, turned his head when he heard Chloe speak through the curtains.

“Leclerc, what’s going on?”

“Ah, Lady Chloe. There is a slight disruption in the court’s affairs, and I have come to seek approval from Her Highness Ines. I am Her Highness’ substitute.”

“Hmm… Is that so?”

Chloe laughs inwardly after hearing Leclerc’s answer and realizing that Ines has had an accident.

Since the curtains were drawn across the room, I didn’t know exactly what happened, but I can’t believe this happened. Ines’ voice seemed a bit strange, so I was just in case.

I’m angry that Ines caused an accident and hurt his brother, but I like that it hurt his brother’s image of Ines.
