24 – Scene 024# Imperial

*

“Huh?!”

When Wendy opened her eyes, it was already dark.

ruined!

what’s going on today!?

I’ve never slept so late before!?

Wendy, who was screaming inwardly, hurriedly threw off her nightgown.

There was no time.

No, I don’t know if she had time left in the first place… .

Wendy hesitated while trying on the maid outfit.

Unknowingly, she almost wore the normal maid uniform she had been wearing a while ago.

She changed into the exclusive maid outfit hanging next to it.

exclusive maid.

An attendant who is served closest to the nobility and is treated highly.

In a word, it is the closest.

Until recently, Wendy was the youngest maid in this mansion.

For her to become an exclusive maid overnight was nothing short of an instant success.

So, Wendy expected that there would be a lot of talk around her.

An exclusive maid is a high-ranking position where you can manage the attendants in the mansion.

Since Wendy has surpassed the seniors in that position, of course there will be noise.

And Wendy’s prediction was correct.

sure means… There were many.

-Right. Wendy, you became our cannon fodder… is that it?

– Yes? bullet… take it?

-Wendy, if you have any difficulties, be sure to tell us. Understand? We are all on your side.

– Yes? Yes… thank you everyone… ?

-Huh… What should I do because I feel sorry for our Wendy… .

– Huh, sister?

Wendy, fully clothed, hurriedly ran out of the room.

I ran at full speed through the long hallway of the Ruelberta Mansion.

If you think about it, it was a series of unbelievable things.

I became the Count’s exclusive maid.

Passed the best magic school in the empire.

I found out that it was the lineage of the warrior.

Even for that notorious Count, the truth is… I knew there was a good side to it.

It’s like a dream.

Was that why he was careless?

Yesterday, Wendy took an exam and was unable to keep her senses from drowsiness.

It was last night that I fell asleep as soon as I arrived at the mansion.

I never thought I would fall asleep this deeply.

Wendy ran.

The Count’s exclusive maid is late.

Because of this, I have no face with the count.

The place where Wendy stopped is the count’s office.

It was also her workplace.

I caught my breath and knocked on the door.

“Sir, excuse me!”

When I slammed the door and entered, there was no one there.

The time is 5 o’clock.

It must be time for the Count to be in his office.

Wendy was about to run out, but met the senior maid at the door.

“Julie sister?”

“Wendy?”

“Where is the Count… ?”

“uh? uhh… You must be at the playground… .”

“Go, thank you… !”

Wendy ran.

Julie said from behind, ‘Wait, Wendy, are you today… To the extent that I can’t hear the words ‘.’

The sun is almost setting when we leave the mansion.

We have to go fast.

Wendy took off her cumbersome shoes.

Being from the countryside, she was used to bare feet.

she kept running.

Until you see a human figure on the playground in the distance.

The figure turned round and soon became the shape of a fat man.

It was her master, Tristan Ruelberta.

He stood on one side of the field, wiping his sweat.

Wendy, who was running, stopped in front of him.

she said, lowering her head.

“Sigh… Bae, Countess… . I’m sorry… Sigh… late… .”

“Wendy.”

“Yeah, I overslept… I’m sorry… .”

“Wendy.”

“I’m the count’s exclusive maid… Sigh… It’s a disqualification… .”

“Raise your head and listen to me. This foolish thing.”

Only then did Wendy carefully raise her head.

There, Tristan was looking down at her.

And the girl in front of me said with an expression that she looked the most foolish in the world.

“You were on vacation today.”

“… … yes??”

Dark throne room.

The girl seated on the throne in the center was welcoming a sudden visitor.

“I don’t know how long. Mondry.”

“Yes. your majesty.”

The old man kneeling in front of her was Mondri Cremont, president of Meikahel University.

“therefore… Why did you come at such a late hour?”

The audience room was illuminated with magic.

A bright light from the ceiling illuminated her face.

Mondry raised his head slowly.

The girl sitting on the throne was wearing a mask.

It was none other than a silver deer.

A girl wearing a silver deer mask coquettishly crossed her legs.

Lucy Meikahel, the empress who rules the empire, waited for Mondry’s answer.

Eventually, the words that came out of Mondry’s mouth were enough to intrigue her.

“A hero has appeared.”

“Hoo… … But wasn’t that just a legend?”

“I only knew that until now, but… It seems to be a fact, not a legend.”

“The grounds?”

Lucy looked at Mondry with an all-seeing eye.

“I saw it myself. That he uses magic of all attributes.”

“It’s all attribute magic… If that’s true, I can’t help but think he’s a hero.”

Lucy rested her chin on the throne as if lost in thought for a moment.

“For sure… Was it a sign that the world was in danger when a hero appeared?”

“That’s right. The Demon King may have been resurrected.”

Make sure to read from noble mtl com

Devil.

Along with the hero, he is also a being that has only been handed down in legends.

Lucy sighed.

“… It can’t be peaceful forever.”

For a long time, the Meikahel Empire was able to enjoy peace thanks to the advantage of being an island.

Maybe it was because I was soaked in peace for a long time?

Lucy never imagined that the Demon King would be resurrected in her generation.

“Where is the hero now?”

“It belongs to Count Ruelberta.”

The moment she heard that name, Lucy’s forehead twitched.

But no one noticed because he was wearing a mask.

“Speaking of Luelberta… You mean Count Tristan?”

“Yes. The warrior is his servant.”

“Huh… … ?”

A warrior… A servant of an aristocratic family?

what is this again

When Lucy tilted her head as if she couldn’t understand, Mondry supplemented her explanation.

“It seemed that the warrior had no idea that he was a warrior. That’s why I only recently realized it after working as an attendant for the count’s family.”

“Did you realize it belatedly?”

“Yes… But Count Ruelberta already knew that his attendant was a warrior.”

Mondry made no secret of his hostility towards Count Tristan.

Lucy asked him back.

“The Count intentionally hid it… Is that what you mean?”

“Yes.”

“Why? There would be no reason for that.”

“I don’t even know that far. But if it’s that Luelberta… There must be something up.”

Ruelbert… .

Lucy chewed on the name.

Perhaps the name with the greatest power in the empire.

In particular, its enormous wealth has long since surpassed the imperial treasury.

Successive emperors feared the power of Ruelberta and tried to appease or contain it, but all failed.

For this reason, the authority of the imperial family was gradually declining as each generation passed.

In a way, the name that bothered Lucy more than the fact that the hero had appeared was Ruelberta.

Ruelberta should no longer be active… .

Because Lucy promised so much.

“Okay. Thanks for letting me know Mondri. But don’t make any assumptions. I don’t want to confuse the people of the empire with pointless speculation.”

“All right… Thanks for letting me see you at such a late hour. Then I’ll just leave.”

“Well,”

After confirming that Mondry was leaving the throne room, Lucy muttered in a low voice.

“Marco.”

“Yes.”

It was a thick male voice that answered her.

A huge figure behind the throne appeared.

Lucy gave an order to the person who appeared there.

“You check it out. Are Mondri’s words true? And, in your judgment, if the Count has a different mind…”

Lucy took off her mask.

And with cold eyes, I looked at the window of the audience room.

To be precise, the Ruelberta Mansion as huge as the imperial palace seen through the window.

Staring at its unholy size, as if it were directly challenging the authority of the imperial family.

“You yourself show what the authority of the imperial family is.”
