I just followed the Duke to open my eyes in the department store, and then... my unique talent seemed to be discovered by the Duke inadvertently?
But the problem is... No matter how hard Miriam racks her brains, she can't figure out how the fact that she doesn't have to sleep every night becomes her advantage?
Miriam Morris has always been troubled by this habit of hers.
She envied the normal schedule that others had. In her opinion, being able to curl up in a warm bed and sleep soundly was a very happy thing.
But in this era when life at night was extremely monotonous and scarce, she could only stare at the twinkling stars outside the window in a daze, sitting and spending one torturous night after another.
"My lord Duke, what do you mean..." Miriam's eyes shone.
In her opinion, the Magic Circle Research Laboratory of the Principality of Idar is almost synonymous with omnipotence.
The magic street lamp developed by the magicians of the Idar School can actually make the nights in the Principality of Idar look like daylight, allowing her, a true night owl, to walk freely on the streets at night.
It is precisely for this reason that she has an inexplicable fondness for the legendary Idar Array Research Laboratory.
"Perhaps the mages of the Idar School can gradually return your work and rest time to normal, but... this is only possible." Bruno said conservatively.
In fact, before Arnel Blood came to a more complete conclusion, Bruno did not know what difference an ordinary person with strong spiritual power could bring to this land.
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Duke!" Looking at Bruno's back as he walked away, Miriam expressed her sincere gratitude.
"But...if you go to the Idar Array Research Laboratory..."
Bruno stopped, paused, and then said seriously:
"No matter what, you will swear allegiance to the Stuart family, right? Countess Morris?"
It was not until this moment that Bruno finally recognized the identity of Miriam Morris as an in-law and extended an olive branch to her - Miriam could allow the Morris family to continue in this land with the title of honorary noble.
thrive on.
"Maurice...Countess?"
Bruno's words made Miriam unable to react for a moment.
but,
When she finally came to her senses, Miriam couldn't help showing a look of relief.
The Principality of Idar's attitude towards the nobility is very clear, that is... it does not allow any nobleman other than the Duke of Idar to own real land.
Therefore, being able to retain the title of Earl Morris is the best result that Miriam can imagine.
after all……
The policy implemented by the Norman Empire has always been a male-dominated inheritance system.
If Bruno deliberately ignored Miriam Morris's legitimate claim to the title of Earl Morris, there was nothing she could do about it.
And now,
If my separated parents and relatives were still alive... I'm afraid they would make such a choice...
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty Duke Idar!"
Miriam said very seriously: "The Morris family will be loyal to you!"
…
As soon as he stepped out of the side door of the department store specially opened for nobles and staff, Bruno's expression turned cold.
Krell, director of the Idar Central Intelligence Agency, had been waiting outside the door for a long time, with a rather solemn look on his face.
"Your Majesty the Duke, I'm going back first."
When she was in the department store just now, Avril saw Agent Idar whispering softly to Bruno. Coupled with the posture outside the mall, it was obviously not something that her cute little maid should know.
"Go ahead and follow Miriam."
Bruno nodded.
Having said that,
Bruno walked towards Krel and whispered: "What is the situation over there at the military port?"
"Workers building the Venice Armory discovered a body from the construction site this morning."
"But that corpse... Anyway, you still have to go and see it in person before you can make a decision."
Krell said concisely and concisely.
…
When Bruno arrived at the Idar Naval Port in the Merlin District, it was already getting late, and the surging seawater was washing the rocks that were illuminated orange by the setting sun. The crabs huddled in the gaps could only hold on to the rocks firmly.
There are potholes so that they will not be swept away by the sea water.
The offshore part of the Venetian Armory has been built.
The Idar people used soil, rocks and cement to pour a solid base. The area is extremely wide. At a glance, you can tell that it is the prototype of another architectural wonder.
Since the Venetian Armory is located in a military port, the construction site where the bodies were found has been sealed off by agents of the Idar CIA.
As for the workers who discovered the corpses, they were already enjoying a sumptuous dinner in the military camp at the warm invitation of the soldiers.
Krel was already on the road, telling what happened today, and Bruno gradually had some guesses of his own in his mind.
In the morning, construction workers found a white skeleton on the edge of the beach.
In fact, logically speaking, this kind of thing would not be brought to Bruno's ears.
After all...the current situation of this era is here. Except for the Idar Public Security Bureau, which will check whether the body is a citizen of Idar, most nobles in the world will ignore it.
But the problem now is that those are not human skeletons, nor are they the skeletons of ordinary marine creatures.
Although only the skeleton was left, a dark light was faintly emitting from the skeleton. This made the workers who were working at the time quickly realize that the skeleton in front of them was probably related to some kind of magical creature.
Long before Bruno arrived, the team of mages led by Anel and Agent Idar began to survey the corpses in front of them.
therefore,
When Bruno arrived at the military port, the first thing he saw was a sad-looking Arnel Blood.
"Master Mentor!"
When he saw Bruno again, Anel, who had not seen Bruno for a month or two, seemed quite excited.
"Did you find anything?"
Bruno asked as he, Arnel, and Creel walked towards the direction of the Venice Armory.
"The black light on the skeleton is probably related to the magic element, but it is not exactly the same..." Anel could only answer truthfully.
"Oh? What's going on?"
According to Bruno's original conjecture, this was probably some unknown magical creature.
But……
Looking at Anel's appearance, Bruno finally realized that this time things were far from as simple as he thought.
