I Became the illegitimate son of a duke - I Became the illegitimate son of a duke chapter 119

119 – Finding Work (1)

Claude, whose work has been reduced, spends that time with his family, but if possible, he spends most of his morning work hours taking care of state affairs. Are trying to write

Of course, even if you want to do a job, you can’t do a job that you don’t have, so Claude is making a job and doing it.

A typical example is the observation of university lectures.

In the middle of a peaceful lecture as usual, the lecture room was hit by a meteor called the king out of nowhere. Soon, only the voice of the professor, Ellen, was heard, but no other sounds were heard.

“So, then… Today’s lesson ends here…”

As the bell rings to signal the end of an hour, Ellen, who was lecturing, hurriedly announces the end of the lecture with a look and voice that says she has finally lived. .

“Wow…!”

However, the gestures of the students do not last long.

Claude, who was standing at the back and watching the lecture, also tried to move his body and go outside.

The students, whose legs stopped when they saw the king approaching them, quickly realized that the king was about to pass them and go to the gate, and hurriedly backed away.

He is a king with all sorts of bad rumors about his pig slaughter machine and his doctrinally forbidden concubines.

Isn’t it said that a maid who approached the king without fault actually got raped in a restaurant in an instant? You don’t know what might happen if you carelessly approach her side.

Seeing that even the heir of the Berman family, who is currently leading social circles, brings up the story of the king, his face instantly darkens and his face turns dark.

In the first place, according to the etiquette of status, a lower rank can never speak to a superior first, so it is best to just stay away from the king and avoid getting involved as much as possible.

‘…?’

However, Claude, who is the one who made the students like this, just tilts his head inwardly, puzzled by the students’ reactions.

‘What are they doing?’

No matter how much I say I’m a king, there’s no way that not a single noble will approach me.

Just by making a kite with the king, in a feudal society, there is a huge advantage that can intervene in politics beyond simple gain. Why don’t we do this?

No matter how afraid you might be, is it a good enough angle to walk?

Hmm… I thought nobles valued honor and courage, but that was just a preconceived notion. Well, they’re all the same people, but there’s no way any one group is uniquely different.

Thought so, Claude lowered his judgment on nobles and went through the open door.

“Whoa… Go back quickly—”

“Ellen.”

“ㅡHelp.”

Claude, who passed quickly among the nobles like Moses parting the sea, catches Ellen with words as she quickly walks out of the hallway.

“Do you breathe?”

“Oh, no… I was surprised to be called out so suddenly…”

Claude naturally approaches Ellen, who is standing in her place and does not know what to do.

I have been seeing him for more than 2 years already, he is a commoner so he is easy to get along with unlike nobles, his personality is very docile, and he is also the first disciple he taught, so Claude has a high affinity for Ellen. .

Ellen also has a different form of liking for Claude, but she knows very well what her situation is like and what her status is, so she doesn’t try to reveal those feelings as much as possible.

“Ah… Well, it could be. Sorry to startle you.”

“Oops… Please don’t say that… If someone else sees…”

Ellen is aghast at Claude, who speaks without hesitation.

Apologizing, it’s my fault for being surprised. Why is His Majesty apologizing to me?

It hurts my heart so much that your majesty always says things like this so disinterestedly and sincerely. Uh… That’s why I tried to get away as quickly as possible…

“What are you talking about…? Well, that’s all right, now that the lecture is perfectly fine? I don’t have to worry about it anymore.”

“Ah, ahahahaha… Because you taught me well.”

“No, in the first place, I was wrong in teaching someone. Did I just pick and choose smart people? It’s only your talent.”

Ellen’s face is blushing incessantly.

She can’t make a proper decision because her heart is beating so fast, but she can’t stand it any longer when she hears words of pure goodwill.

“Now that I think about it, Ellen knew the concept of disinfection from the beginning—”

“Your Majesty!!”

“ㅡ hmm?”

Claude, who recalls memories of Ellen’s past without checking her face properly, is suddenly interrupted by a sound from behind her.

Looking back to see if something big happened, Louis, the heir to the Verman family, comes into Claude’s field of vision.

“What’s going on?”

“Your Majesty, she, Professor Ellen…”

“What is Ellen?”

Claude looked at Louis with a puzzled expression.

‘What is it?’

She is panting and her face is red. She seems to be very excited about something, but I’m not sure why she’s suddenly like that.

Did you run in a hurry? No, no matter how fast I ran, I don’t think it would be that much.

“Yes, Your Majesty… She… It is…”

“…Let it go to the end.”

Claude gets a little angry at Louis for hesitating and not being able to speak properly.

If they caught me at most, I should tell them about my business, but I can’t do that, and I can’t help but get angry when I just stand still without even knowing what to do.

“…Professor Ellen doesn’t like it. Stop it.”

“What?”

“Yes?”

Louis, who had been resting for a while, spoke as if he had made a big decision, and immediately after that, a single exclamation of exclamation came out from the two of them at the same time. One is Claude and the other is Ellen.

After hearing Louis’ words, Claude finally takes a closer look at Ellen.

Her face is red, her legs are trembling, her breathing is rough, and her eyes are not fixed and move around.

“…I see, you’re right.”

“Your Majesty?”

“Rest in peace, Ellen.”

Claude greets Ellen with a mixed expression and then walks past them.

Ellen tries to catch Claude with an absurd expression, but she can’t because there are too many eyes around her.

As soon as Claude leaves, she asks Ellen if Louis, who has come close to her, is okay or if she has not been touched. She just shakes her head up and down her little by little as she smiles shyly.

…………

‘My heart hurts…’

Returning to the palace, Claude lies in bed with a confused mind, recalling what happened in college.

Is Ellen trying to distance herself from me?

There may be many reasons, such as the difference in status, the burden of being close to each other, or an urgent matter, but the shock is unavoidable.

It was difficult for me to have a comfortable conversation with Chloe and Jeanne, who are commoners, because they tend to show excessive liking to me, but it was nice that I could have a comfortable conversation with Ellen, expressing negative or positive opinions about my words in just the right way. …

“Your Majesty, what happened?”

“No, nothing.”

When Mr. Seo, who had gone to the university saying he had to attend the lecture, was gloomy and droopy, Ines was very worried and carefully stroked Mr. Seo, but Claude didn’t say anything because it would hurt his pride if he revealed that this had happened because he was only a little bit black. Choose

“…I’m sorry you didn’t want to talk about it, but if it hasn’t been resolved after a while, can you tell me later?”

“It’s not really like that.”

“Yes, I understand. Your Majesty.”

Looking like a boy showing useless pride, Ines smiled and nodded her head. Seeing that reaction, Claude is a bit upset, but he barely holds it in without saying anything.

I’m not sure what Ines is thinking right now, but he’s not a good idea, write …

When I see him stretching his tail like that and telling me to be his majesty, he must have deliberately provoked me to speak on his own—- Wait, your majesty?

“Ines.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“That… Why did you call me majesty in the first place? Up until yesterday, it seems like you called me Mr. Seo.”

Ines always called me majesty when she called me in official settings.

But isn’t she alone in the room now and not in an official position?

“Ah… Ahahahaha… That’s because Liliane kept saying weird things.”

“Lilianne?”

“Yeah… I keep calling her Majesty, no, she keeps calling her Majesty, so if she’s someone Lily Anne likes, she calls her all…”

Ah, I see what you mean.

Liliane is now 2 years old, and I’ve heard that her parents learn emotional words the fastest among children of that age.

There are many words that Ines speaks with emotion, but the most representative of them is definitely Mr. Seo.

She keeps saying the word “Seobangnim” Subconsciously and her children hear it, so she’s trying not to do it normally.

“Ah, are you calling Ines Mr. West too?”

“Yes…”

“Kuh… That’s funny, I really want to see it in person.”

I wish I could have recorded it as a video…

Electronic devices are so complicated that even if I were to develop the related technology from now on, I would have to wait until my great-grandson to get even a fragment of that technology.

I should just tell the artist to draw a lot of pictures from my childhood.
