How the Reincarnation Seat Destroys the Original - Chapter 24

Episode 24. Banquet Preparation (2).
‘The Black Kael Escape Project’.
Mabel, who had put the project into action without the knowledge of the person in question, touched the fabric in the color Phil had mentioned, brought it close and observed it closely, and selected four or five candidates.
“I think Kael’s complexion will look dull if he wears warm-colored clothes. Cool-colored clothes would be better.”
“I think so too.”
“Deep purple… no. How about making a shirt with dark purple or blue-violet fabric? A jacket and pants in black?”
“Purple and black go well together. If you match your jewelry with silver, it won’t look dull either.”
“The jewel is….”
I’m excited, I’m excited.
Mabel’s hidden project and the person who would wear the clothes. Kael yawned softly, listening to the voices of the two people who were having a heated discussion with one ear and letting it out with the other.
The black that suits you should be a bright black, the white should be a white without any yellow tint, etc.
It’s already been 30 minutes just deciding on the color of the clothes.
Kael muttered, still having a mountain of unfinished paperwork and work to do.
“Black is black, and white is white. What’s the difference?”
“What?! Kael. How could you say such harsh things!!!”
“It’s completely different!!!”
Kael slowly blinked at my gaze, his eyes wide open and shaking.
“Although they are in the same series, the saturation and brightness. In the case of clothes, they give a completely different feeling depending on the fabric!!!”
“Miss Mabel is right! That little difference can make all the difference in the impression of the person wearing it!!!”
As if to say, “Look at this,” Mabel held a black cloth in both hands and thrust it in front of Kael’s eyes.
The one on the left hand is also black.
The one in his right hand was also black.
“Look closely! It’s different?!”
To be honest, I don’t know.
I was confident in my eyesight, but my ability to discern colors seemed to be different from what I knew.
Kael was about to spit out the words, “I don’t know the difference at all,” but then closed his mouth again and thought.
If you say you don’t know in this situation, how likely is it that Mabel will say, “Oh, I see! You don’t know!” and move on?
Absolutely not.
Therefore, he had a gut feeling that it would be very, very annoying.
“… Looking at it this way, it seems different.”
Mabel’s lips curved into a curve as she heard Kael’s words with a displeased expression.
“Right? Different?!”
“okay.”
“This black color is….”
“I’ll listen to the explanation later. I’m running out of time to prepare the clothes. Let’s talk to the tailor.”
Mabel, who was thinking, “You finally know the difference in colors!” as she tried to explain the difference in colors she was holding, Kael cut her off and gestured to Phil.
“Oh, that’s right! I’ll explain after we finish talking about clothes with Phil!”
Kael barely managed to swallow the words, “There’s no need for such an explanation,” and closed his eyes again. This was because he realized that silence was the answer in order to escape this space as quickly as possible.
If he had been alone, the banquet dress preparations, which would have been completed in a few minutes, were finally completed two full hours after Mabel entered.
“Thank you, Miss Mabel!!!”
Phil bowed his head toward Mabel again and again, his face filled with emotion.
“No, I just added a few words!”
Is it finally over?
He closed his eyes to avoid conversation, but Kael, who was truly sleepy, yawned slightly and opened his eyes. The meeting room had become a mess.
All the dark colored fabrics that had been brought in seemed to have been taken out and spread out on the floor, and colorful gems and silver chains of various thicknesses were scattered on the fabric and the floor.
“Kael! It’s over!”
Mabel, whose eyes met Kael’s as he opened them, spoke to him with a very satisfied expression, and Kael glanced down at Mabel.
The dress Mabel was wearing was probably one of the dresses she had told Hugo to make when she first arrived at Damier’s.
The child grew faster than expected, so the dress that had been below the knees was now covering above the knees, and the sleeves that had been covering the backs of the hands had also become shorter, exposing the backs of the hands.
After confirming it, he sat up.
“tailor.”
“Yes! Your Majesty!”
Kael asked, his expression and voice returning with a more confident expression than when he had stuttered at first.
“I would like to request other clothes in addition to the ones I originally requested. Is that possible?”
“It’s possible! Um… but would you like to request a few more sets…?”
He seemed to think for a moment about the words that followed the answer that came out without even thinking, and then gave his answer.
“At least 6 sets.”
Phil’s head quickly turned at his answer. Fortunately, the first order of clothing was for one piece to be worn at a banquet. Usually, nobles preparing for a banquet would order at least three pieces, and sometimes as many as ten.
Even if you add the 6 additional sets I ordered, it’s still 7 sets.
There was enough time and ability. Phil, who had finished calculating up to that point, spoke again with confidence.
“Just leave it to me! I can do it!”
“Mabel.”
After hearing Phil’s definitive answer, Kael called over to Mabel, who had been absentmindedly listening to his conversation with the tailor, and her clear purple eyes filled with wonder.
“Tariq and Lily. And your clothes. Order at least two each.”
“Huh? I have a lot of clothes.”
There are the clothes you gave me when I first came here, and there are also the clothes Kael gave me when I went to the temple!
Kael paused for a moment at the bright voice, then headed toward the door, grabbed the doorknob, turned it, and spoke.
“If you don’t match, the other two will feel burdened. Just match.”
“Hmm, Tariq and Lily might be the case! After all, Kael is…”
– Okay.
After finishing what he had to say and coming out, Kael did not hear Mabel’s subsequent words, perhaps her mistaken compliments about how affectionate she was.
Even after closing the door, Kael couldn’t move for a while.
“Do you really…?”
There was no need to go this far.
A thought suddenly occurred to me.
I just saw that the clothes were too small, and it took a long time, but I got help. That’s why it’s like that.
He consoled himself by saying that it was better to win the child’s favor for his own purposes anyway.
A few days later.
A total of seven sets of clothes arrived from the Damier collection, and Kael left the delivery of the other six sets of clothes, excluding his own, to Hugo.
“Master, the young lady is said to be going out tomorrow.”
Hugo, who had delivered the clothes, delivered the news of Mabel’s going out with a meaningful smile.
“Going out?”
Since coming to Damie’s house, I have never gone out on my own. Kael asked without realizing it.
“Yes. I only heard that you were going out. If you need me, I will ask the young lady why.”
Kael didn’t respond to Hugo’s words, and when Hugo, who had been waiting for his answer, asked again, “Shall I ask you something?”, Kael shook his head briefly.
“Okay. I’ll attach Tariq or the escort.”
Anyway, I guess there’s no one else I can hire as an escort.
He swallowed his words.
The parents of this body. So, as soon as the former Viscount and Viscountess Damier passed away, before he could even formally inherit the title, what he did was to cut off most of his servants. In order to extract the maximum efficiency with the minimum number of people. In order to live quietly without invading the original.
As Kael was the strongest magician of the unofficial Tius Empire, he did not need the knights who always followed him wherever he went, and since the guard and security of the mansion could also be done with magic, he did not allow any troops into the mansion.
?Master, wouldn’t it be better to have at least one knight as an escort??
Hugo had been concerned… no, dissatisfied with the fact that he did not have a personal bodyguard even before he became Viscount Damier.
Even before Mabel was adopted and before hiring Tariq, he often mentioned the escort knights saying, “Since the young lady is here too…” So Kael could tell that the dissatisfaction was considerable.
“Are you okay?”
“Is there any reason why it wouldn’t be okay?”
“Are you sure you’re okay?”
“You talk a lot today. Do I have to tell you this twice?”
A cold voice. More than that, a frozen gaze was directed at Hugo. If someone else had heard and encountered it, they would have at least flinched at the cold reaction, but Hugo’s expression, which had been calm for over 20 years since he had brought Kael, was incredibly calm.
“I apologize if I was rude, Master.”
Kael sighed at the answer that was no different from his expression.
Seriously. If he wasn’t so damn competent, I would have given him a severance pay or a letter of recommendation like I did when I laid off other employees.
Was it a problem that I kept you by my side with your incomprehensible stubbornness and outstanding abilities?
He gestured at the door with his grumbling for the umpteenth time.
“get out.”
“If you need anything, please call me.”
When Hugo bowed his head slightly to the order of the guests and grabbed the doorknob of the office, something flew from behind, aiming for the back of his head.
– Okay.
Hugo, who had neatly grabbed the object pointed at the back of his head without looking back, checked the object in his hand.
A necklace set with sparkling purple gems.
Hugo was able to identify the jewel as it emitted a light that seemed to shimmer inside.
‘Artifact’.
A magical item that allows you to use magic even if you are not a wizard. The most basic and core material, the magic stone that can store magic power, is harder to obtain than any other mineral, so it is called expensive.
“Master. This is….”
“If Mabel goes out and causes an accident, it will be a problem for the reputation of the Damier family. Keep it with you and go out.”
When did the master ever care about reputation?
Fortunately, Hugo did not repeat the previous mistake.
“I will make sure to pass this on to Miss Mabel.”
With those words, the door to the office opened and closed silently. Left alone in the office, I let out another long sigh.
The artifact given to Hugo was, of course, something Kael had personally created, and was engraved with defensive magic to block external attacks, offensive magic to attack in return, and tracking magic to inform the wizard who engraved the magic of the owner’s location.
“I’m going out….”
A soft voice came out of Kael’s mouth, but he soon shook his head and focused on the piled up documents.
The next day, Hugo reported that Mabel’s outing had been a success, and it was a few days later, on the day of the palace banquet, that Kael learned of the purpose of Mabel’s outing.
