“During the banquet, I heard that those bastard’s business is doing well, so I made a request to Hyung-nim.”
“I also heard that.”
“But thinking it through, it’s truly strange. Can a viscount family own a business that is doing so well?”
“Usually it’s a very rare case.”
“Hyung-nim. I shut Hyum’s mouth and didn’t tell You something. Are You going to scold me?”
“What scolding?”
Carson’s expression stiffened again.
What kind of trouble Lucion got himself into again?
“It’s the first time I will own a business, so I went to visit there yesterday. At the time I was excited, and didn’t look around properly. So.”
“Now.”
Carson made sure to suppress his surging rage.
“What are you saying now?”
“But Hyung-nim. This could be a simple…”
“Got it.”
Carson cut off Lucion’s words.
[Wow.]
Russell was amazed.
[You’re going to get him involved like this?]
“Hyung-nim.”
Lucion called out to Carson again.
It was quite a cautious voice.
“I might have said something useless for no reason.”
“No. I’ll find out, so you stay quiet.”
The murderous intent felt from Carson’s voice, as if he was pulling a knife, was quite scary.
The groundwork worked out better than expected.
‘From the looks of it, I guess hyung-nim was already suspicious of the Pizzat family.’
As he poured the gasoline, the Pizzat family would certainly go up in flames somehow.
“Hyung-nim. Apologies, but can You call in Hyum?”
“Yeah. I’ll call him in.”
The moment Carson left, he leaned against the door and sighed deeply.
“… Haa.”
How shocked he was when Hyum brought Lucion.
‘Am I already losing my mind just after a few days away from the border?’
Lucion was once kidnapped by the enemy country because of the betrayal of an escort knight.
He never once forgot about it.
How could he forget Lucion’s whole body covered in blood, looking as if it was about to break at any moment?
‘… Darn it.’
Every time something like this happened, he thought he had to increase Lucion’s escort, but it was impossible to do so in reality.
Didn’t Lucion become completely different after that event?
He had a habit of throwing a fit if someone just appeared to be a knight, and he suffered from auditory and visual hallucinations, and he never left his room because people pointed fingers at him.
‘He somehow came this far. I can’t stimulate Lucion anymore.’
Like the saying ‘time is medicine’, Lucion’s state became much better than in the past, and he could have one or two people as an escort.
“Is the young master unwell perhaps?”
Hyum hesitated for a while, and then asked with worry.
“Lucion called you, so go in.”
“Yes. Understood.”
“… Hyum.”
Hyum, who was about to turn the door knob, looked up at Carson who called him.
“Is Lucion afraid of you perhaps?”
“Why would the young master be afraid of me?”
Hyum blinked.
“Then are you afraid of Lucion?”
“The young master isn’t a scary Person.”
Carson knew there was no lie in that replay.
Lucion chose Hyum, and Hyum followed him.
“At least you — don’t betray Lucion.”
Carson told Hyum as if reciting, and disappeared into the corridor.
Hyum slightly tilted his head.
‘First young master and the youngest young master are very sensitive about the betrayal.’
Hyum found this fact very strange.
He never thought about betraying Lucion.
‘Oops.’
Hyum was about to turn the doorknob, but stopped, realizing that he didn’t knock.
Knock, knock.
After belatedly knocking on the door, he entered.
The strange atmosphere was no good.
Hyum’s eyes rolled around.
— Hyum!
Latta jumped off the bed and ran towards Hyum.
Looking at her wagging tail, Hyum thought of a dog.
Hyum was about to pet Latta, but abruptly recalled Carson’s words.
“I won’t betray You, Young Master.”
At Hyum’s abrupt words, Lucion frowned, and then spoke.
He already knew that fact.
“Hyum.”
“Yes, Young Master.”
“Have you copied down all of the information?”
“Yes. I wrote down all of the information I memorized. It felt like studying words, so it was extremely fun.”
Hyum smiled so brightly that Russell looked at him with pity.
From what he said, it was obvious that Lucion would order him to do more work.
As expected, the corners of Lucion’s mouth rose.
“Then in the future,should I memorize all the information from the place under the inn and copy it faster?”
“Right.”
Seeing that Hyum already found out what he should do, Lucion was very satisfied.
“Then about Young Master’s escort… how will it be?”
Hyum hesitated as he asked.
“No need to worry about my escort. I can’t go around anyway. Hyung-nim ordered a ban from going out for now.”
Lucion waved his broken arm.
“And looking at this hand, I won’t be able to move around as Hamel for a while either.”
Russell gave Lucion a side-eye.
You ended up like this, so where are you trying to wander around?
“See?”
Lucion calmly pointed at Russell, and Hyum nodded.
“I understand. You mean that they may be suspicious because Your hand is hurt, and You have to be considerate of Russell-nim’s feelings, correct?”
[Feelings? That kid is being considerate of my feelings?]
Russell suddenly burst out laughing.
“Yes. I’m being considerate.”
[So what’s with that look right now?]
When Russell’s finger pointed at Lucion’s broken arm, Lucion shrugged.
“I didn’t expect this to happen.”
He thought he used the magic properly, but it seemed there was a problem somewhere.
“Anyway, Hyum.”
“Yes.”
“You have to copy something one more time from among the information you wrote down. Go right now to…”
[I already told him to copy the parts about Cronia’s trading partners.]
“Thank You, Master-nim.”
Lucion bowed his head towards Russell.
Thanks to Russell, they wasted less time.
The problems of Cronia’s trading partners had to be solved immediately, but regretfully, they weren’t problems he could do anything about.
He had to make sure that that information gets delivered to Carson.
“Hyum. Same as before, order an informant to deliver the information here.”
“Yes. I’ll pay some child nearby and order them.”
“Okay. You worked hard yesterday.”
“No. Next time I’ll make sure to become a more helpful valet.”
While smiling slightly, Hyum took something out of his pocket and handed the gift that arrived before Lucion woke up.
“It’s the gift sent by Young Lady Tella.”
At last, it arrived.
The Tears of Larvis.
[Really?]
Russell, who was keeping a twisted face, was greatly surprised.
“That’s my gift.”
At Lucion’s words, Russell chuckled.
[Did I say something?]
Russell waved his hand, urging him.
[Okay. Open it quickly.]
“Master-nim.”
[What?]
“Don’t forget it’s my gift.”
[I know.]
After receiving a clear answer, Lucion opened the box.
Lucion looked at the gift wrapped in a white wrapping paper with a lovely ribbon and handed it to Hyum.
“Open it.”
[Open it carefully, Hyum.]
“I’ll adjust my power. That’s the first thing I learned.”
While saying not to worry, Hyum carefully opened the package.
In the wrapping paper was a box, and after opening that box, they saw a small case.
‘You didn’t have to wrap it so elaborately.’
Lucion yawned, as if it was slightly boring.
— Whoaaa. There is a box inside of the box!
But Latta enjoyed every moment of it more than anyone else.
[Quickly, quickly. Open it.]
‘There is one more person who is exactly like Latta.’
Lucion smirked while obediently waiting until Hyum opened the case.
Tak.
The case was opened.
— Uh?
Latta tilted her head, and Russell’s expression hardened fast.
[That… so-called gift, though weak, isn’t it an item containing Light?]
He chose this of all things?
Russell swallowed the words to throw it out right away.
No matter what, wasn’t it a gift?
“Good.”
Lucion reacted peacefully.
The Tears of Larvis.
Although not as good as a holy relic, it contained a tremendous amount of Light.
It was an object that should’ve fallen into Heint’s hands when he wandered around, chasing after knight orders, but he got into the Imperial Knight Order, so he wasn’t going to follow the novel anyway.
In addition, the original owner was dead.
[Good…?]
Russell asked in an absurd.
“Yes. Good.”
Lucion smiled truly happily.
There was probably no one among warlocks but Lucion who would be this happy after seeing an object containing Light.
“Thanks to this bracelet, I don’t have to force my way to go visit the temple and get hit by Light.”
From the beginning, Lucion chose that bracelet specifically to raise his Light resistance.
Russell tightly shut his eyes for a moment.
Even though he saw the reaction a few times, he couldn’t get used to it at all.
[No way, are you going to keep wearing it?]
“I’m thinking about it right now.”
Heint used that bracelet like a mana pack.
‘And thinking about it…’
Lucion abruptly became curious and spoke up.
“Master-nim.”
[What?]
Russell’s voice was blunt.
“Are there perhaps things like holy relics containing Darkness?”
[I would say no, but there is Latta, the Darkness Divine Beast.]
When Russell looked at her, Latta smiled widely.
[There may be.]
“I really hope there are.”
He would fill up his lacking Darkness with a holy relic like Heint.
‘But I only know where the items containing Light, like the Tears of Larvis, are.’
That was truly a pity.
[Lucion.]
At Russell’s call, Lucion stopped himself from stretching his hand towards the bracelet and looked at him.
[Didn’t I clearly tell you that I’ll stop you?]
“Yes. You did.”
[Then don’t touch that bracelet for at least a week.]
Lucion rolled his eyes and looked at the bracelet.
‘I want to check it right now….’
As Russell stared at him, Lucion sighed deeply.
“That’s too long. One… how about four days?”
[Okay. Four days.]
When Russell quickly agreed, Lucion was confused.
Shouldn’t he nag him a bit more?
“Amazing.”
At that moment, Hyum clapped his hands.
‘I was tricked…!’
When Lucion couldn’t even open his mouth, the corner of Russell’s mouth rose.
[My intention was to make you rest for at least four days.]
— Heup. Lucion was really tricked.
Latta’s eyes sparkled as if it was really fun.
“I doubted that Russell-nim could really persuade Young Master.”
Hyum had a face of enlightenment, as if he watched a lecture.
“I confirmed that if You mix emotions into Your words, persuasion has a greater effect.”
[Okay, now that everything is solved, Lucion, go back to sleep.]
“Then I’ll wait for a moment here.”
Hyum went over to the corner.
“Don’t bother, just sit down to write.”
Lucion said with a stiff voice.
In no way did he expect even Hyum to trick him.
[Ah, right. Lucion.]
“Yes.”
Lucion’s voice was skewed.
[How do you know that magic that broke your arm?]
“How do I know it?”
[That’s the magic I made.]
“Yes…?”
[After thinking it through yesterday and today, I’m certain that is the magic I made.]
‘No way? Wasn’t it the magic that was made by the warlock, Heint’s colleague?’
At that oddity, Lucion instinctively slightly tilted his head.
“Master-nim. Did You perhaps have one more disciple?”
[No. You’re my only disciple.]
“Then there is no one You broke off with or gave up on in the middle?”
[There is none. You’re my first and probably my last disciple.]
‘No way.’
Lucion’s doubts gradually deepened.
Then how did that warlock know that magic?
[Why are you like this all of a sudden? It doesn’t seem like you hate to lose on the title of the first disciple.]
“I was abruptly just curious. I thought someone like Master-nim would leave several disciples.”
Unlike his chaotic thoughts, Lucion spoke calmly.
Russell half closed his eyes and stared at him.
[So how do you know that magic…]
Russell, who was continuing, was suddenly greatly shocked.
“What’s the matter?”
[The notebook… I didn’t burn it.]
“The notebook?”
[The notebook with all my knowledge. I forgot to burn it.]
