In the huge Duke's Palace, the cheers in the royal capital seemed to have subsided a little.
With the appearance of the battle report that Black Duke Valedelle was waiting for, Valedelle finally returned to her ducal palace with Ide and the two of them.
"You are not a vampire?"
In the Black Duke's tea room, Valedelle looked at Ide who was sitting opposite her, smiling lightly and drinking hot tea to warm her body.
As Valedelle said these words, the tea room became silent.
Clolis, who was standing behind Ide as a guard, took a step forward without hesitation, protecting Ide behind her, and carefully looked at the duchess in front of her, who didn't seem to care much about what she just said.
"It's been exposed. I'll tell you, Cloris, your illusion skills are really not good enough. You can't even block my eyes and you still want to outsmart other people."
Compared to the nervous Clolis, Ide sighed to Clolis in a relaxed and calm manner. Seeing Clolis glance at him viciously, Ide smiled helplessly, raised his hand, and
Cloris, who was standing in front of her, gently pushed away.
Seeing the puzzled look on Cloris' face, Ide shook his head helplessly, "Anxiety Cloris, you are too nervous. If Valedelle wanted to expose us, she would have done it in the hotel.
Why wait until now when we can expose it?"
"Well, just tell Yide. If it were before, I might have ordered people to kill you without saying a word, but it is different now. As I said at the beginning, Yide is my honored guest. Of course.
, I think you all understand the rules. The distinguished guests I refer to are that as long as the interests of the Kingdom of Sirnia are not harmed, you will be my honored guests."
Valedelle waved her hand to signal Clolis to calm down, and at the same time told Cloris her bottom line with a gentle smile.
After hearing Valedelle's explanation, Cloris finally relaxed her guard a little. Being in the enemy camp, Cloris didn't have a big heart like Ide who could remain calm in the face of difficulties.
To be honest, when Ide's identity was just revealed, Clolis's super powerful magic spirit storm almost couldn't help being smashed out by her. However, the moment Clolis made a slight movement. Four
A tyrannical will locked onto Cloris.
In the darkness of the tea room, there were at least four level seven strong men secretly protecting Valedelle! The four strong men locked onto her, causing Cloris's back to be soaked with cold sweat.
"Master, your medicinal tea."
Valedelle's old butler walked into the tea room from outside the tea room carrying a steaming cup of tea with a strong smell.
The old housekeeper respectfully handed a cup of freshly brewed herbal tea to His Excellency the Black Duke. This immediately made Valedelle, who originally seemed a little lively, look depressed.
The bitter herbal tea made the Duke frown. Valedelle reluctantly took a sip of the herbal tea. Valedelle's cheeks, which were originally pale, turned slightly rosy.
"Master, there is news from the palace. His Majesty the new king will hold a celebration banquet and invites you to participate. At the celebration banquet, His Majesty the new king decided to issue the next combat order and propose a new domestic mobilization plan. Well, before the new king
In the invitation letter, it was also clearly stated that His Excellency Yide should attend the celebration banquet."
Regarding the butler's report, Valedelle frowned involuntarily, "The invitation letter you gave me stated that the 'Heir of the Shadow Duke' would be invited to attend the celebration banquet? Is this guy really ready to break up with me? The invitation is based on
Germany is here. In other words, is he forcing the Shadow Duke, the only neutral faction among the four current Dukes, to forcefully establish a formation? The two camps in Sirnia are about to officially confront each other..."
Valedelle couldn't help but let out a bitter smile at the new king's move. Did the conflict between the two camps finally intensify today?
At the moment when Valedelle was smiling bitterly, a messenger broke into the tea room, and the messenger loudly reported to Valedelle.
"Report to your highness that the Shadow Duke has arrived!"
"Sure enough, it's here."
After hearing the report of the messenger, Valedelle made an expression that was indeed the case. As for the Shadow Duke, Valedelle also had some latest information about the Shadow Duke. The Shadow Duke, who had been neutral for a long time, had an affair with the new king Adolf in the past two days.
Valedelle also knew about the meeting.
However, after confirming that the book in Ide's hand was indeed the Book of Mantra Magic, Valedelle was almost certain that Hines would definitely come to her door due to the supply. As mages, the Shadow Dukes had no idea about the Book of Mantra Magic.
The Duke of Book and Shadow is absolutely fanatical.
"Waled! I heard that my son is here with you, please hand over my precious son quickly. I have heard that, you are so dishonest that you put my precious son under house arrest!"
Before Valedelle had anyone welcome the Shadow Duke in, the carefree Shadow Duke rushed into Valedelle's tea room on his own.
[Melee Mage] Shadow Duke Hines, one of the strange characters of the Shadow Duke lineage of the magic family. He was obviously born in the Shadow lineage, one of the most powerful bloodlines in magic. However, this guy's magic qualifications are very low.
It's crazy how hard this guy learned the magic of protection, which requires the lowest qualifications.
For this reason, the previous generation of Shadow Duke, Heins's father, couldn't help but say, "Is this really my seed? The descendant of the cool and noble great magician is born."
What a retard! Was my wife’s child stolen by someone else? Or... the mistress who gave birth to my baby actually cheated on me?"
However, Heins was up to par. When he was young, in order to figure out the melee magic he had developed, this guy threw a letter from his father who had run away from home in the face, and rushed into the college without hesitation.
Experience in the Wall Mountains.
Five years later, Hines succeeded and became a seventh-level melee mage. However, this was his own statement, because others said that Hines failed.
Five years later, Hines became the grand leader of the Tianri Mountain Black Wind Raiding Group in the Korver Mountains. Well, that is to say, the strange Hines changed from a noble young master of a large vampire family to
A rude and brutal bandit leader...
What the hell are you calling your fire magic Flame Fist? Damn, you are just a reckless man in the skin of a mage apprentice, okay! Flame Fist? Flame, you uncle, you can't even grill this flame barbecue, but
In terms of punching strength, there is no problem in killing a mammoth with one fist.
A noble seventh-level melee magician? Bah! Bandit leader, please stop flattering yourself. You are just a mage apprentice, okay? You use a high-level wand as a stick. Melee mage? Melee level seven
Level warriors are all right. As for mages, get out of here! You are just an apprentice.
The leader of the Black Wind Robbery Regiment, who walked into Valedelle's tea room with his nose closed, his eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Yide.
What a handsome young vampire, he has the same demeanor as I did back then, not bad.
"Oh? Are you the son of me who has the 'Magic Book of Mantra'? Yes, yes, with this appearance, who says you are not my son? Who am I to worry about? Son, we are just carved out of the same mold. Too special
It’s so similar!”
Like your uncle, you don’t know how to look yourself in the mirror. How can you give birth to a handsome son like Ide with such frustration? Hearing the emotion of the Shadow Duke, the Black Duke Valede has always been very calm.
I couldn't help but darken my cheeks.
The deformed species among vampires, the bronze-skinned bandit leader said excitedly to Ide, a white-looking purebred vampire. The melee mage, who was as strong as an ox, excitedly rushed to Ide and embraced him in his arms.
, sighing loudly, "Son, my poor son, I finally found you." (To be continued...)
