The Butler of the Reverse Harem Is Crazy - The Butler of the Reverse Harem Is Crazy chapter 69

69 – Contrast (1)

***

The nature of the imperial palace.

At the entrance of the Golden Great Hall, where the emperor of the Rothenberg Empire resides, a man with the strength of a well-forged sword took off his armor.

“Ah, Captain.”

“welcome.”

The guards who were standing guard quickly greeted me. The man who tapped the shoulders of the two as if he was working hard opens his mouth.

“Your Majesty?”

“He is inside.”

“I will put in a message.”

A communication port installed in front of the main gate and connected to the interior.

After receiving permission to enter, the commander of the Royal Guards pushed the huge gate with his own two arms.

Kugu Palace… … .

The sound of the door opening echoes around. The man who left it behind and moved on,

He knelt down in front of the elderly man who was sitting in the seat of honor.

“your majesty. I heard that you called your convictions.”

“I was waiting.”

A black-haired man who was sitting on a chair decorated with gold stood up.

The gaze of the absolute who sees through the world is directed to the middle-aged.

“What were the results of the investigation?”

“The old man who was lying on the floor was confirmed to be Duke Jeffrey of the Sorcery Empire.”

“How are the injured?”

“Sir Leon’s condition is critical, and there are no minor injuries except for His Highness Four and Five, who were seriously injured.”

“… … Leon?”

At the news that Leon was in critical condition, the emperor’s dry face hardened.

“Yes that’s right. Investigators seem to have judged that Sir Leon was trying to protect the nobles and the princess.

The high-level curse that Duke Geoffrey had placed remained on Sir Leon’s body.”

“Has the curse been lifted?”

“The best healers in the Empire were able to fix it. It was a really terrible curse.”

“That’s good.”

“… … your majesty.”

“Why?”

“The subject I am going to tell you about now may be a bit uncomfortable.”

“Speak.”

King Richard ordered.

Like a person bringing up a subject that is difficult for the head of the guards to say, he closed his eyes in a cold sweat.

“… … I have detected magic that is not human in His Highness the Four Princes.”

“Magic powers that don’t belong to humans?”

“Yes. very heterogeneous… … He seems to have purple magic.”

The emperor’s pupils widened slightly as if surprised by the knight commander’s reply.

purple magic.

That’s because it was the color that represents the magical power of those called demons.

To find the energy of demons in the body of the four princes.

Investigators must have noticed that already.

Currently, only the emperor, Duke Kaisel, and Leon and the emperor’s secret researchers were aware of the existence of demons in the Rothenberg Empire.

In such a situation, a foreign aura was detected in the emperor’s child.

Of course, there would be no human with a swollen liver enough to bite and hang with this, but it became difficult to hide it from the people anymore.

‘I have no choice but to reveal it.’

The emperor came down from the seat of honor and moved toward the table on one side of the palace.

Then he took a key from his bosom and inserted it into a locked drawer under the table.

“Receive.”

Emperor Richard took out a piece of paper from a drawer.

The captain of the knights, who received the document he handed out, read the paper from place to place.

“This… … .”

The man’s face hardened like a stone statue.

“… … To think that demons really existed.”

A nuance that is still unbelievable.

However, with all the evidence attached to the document, the middle-aged man couldn’t help but believe in the existence of demons.

“Your Majesty already knew.”

“okay. But I never expected that Jim’s son would be a demon.”

“I was surprised too. To think that the clever Four Princes would become a demon… … .”

“I guess Jim coveted his seat.”

Although the emperor spoke indifferently,

There was a deep remorse in his voice.

“… … .”

The silent lamentation over his broken child made the knight commander unable to think of anything to say.

“What about Brent?”

“His Highness Prince Oh… … It turned out to be an assistant to His Highness the Four Princes.”

“You didn’t become a demon like His Highness the Four Princes, but.”

“They used Her Highness the Sixth Princess as a hostage to lure Sir Leon out.”

“Whoa… … .”

A sigh escaped my mouth.

That iron-blooded emperor sighed.

In the ears of the commander of the Royal Guard, who looks at his master with disbelief, the voice of an elderly man who seems to have lost his strength is heard.

“Is Leon awake?”

“Last time I saw him, he was still unconscious.”

“Check once more and come back.”

“that is… … Sir Leon is currently outside.”

At the middle-aged man’s answer, the emperor, who had been looking out the window, turned his head.

“Out?”

“As soon as Sir Leon’s condition stabilized, the people of the Duke of Roelheim moved him to the duke’s private treatment center.”

“It looks like the princess of the duke moved.”

Emperor Richard muttered to himself, recalling the memories of the night before.

He went directly to Ale Castle, the residence of the Four Princes. On the marble floor covered with sticky blood, the silver-haired woman trembled pitifully.

The daughter of the Duke of Roelheim, Catherine von Roelheim, who raised both hands to cover her face.

However, the jet-black eyes that could be seen through the cracks in her palms were frightening to the point of creepiness.

It is not the usual blue eyes that contain lakes.

Katherine stood where Leon was barely holding on and gritted her teeth as she glared at the fallen men across from her.

He bit so hard that the blood that ran down her lip ran down her chin and dripped onto the floor drop by drop.

—-I will never, never forgive… … .

The emperor opened his mouth, recalling the image of the duke’s daughter who had muttered coldly.

“You must be heartbroken, so it’s not that I don’t understand.”

“It’s a fact I learned during the investigation, but they say they’re so special that anyone belonging to the duke’s family would know.”

“Therefore, it cannot be delayed. Leon is also involved in this incident.”

The man held out the crystal ball on the table to the knight commander and continued.

“You go and see how Leon is. If he comes to his senses, connect this communication port.”

“I follow Your Majesty’s orders.”

The Guards Commander bowed down,

He lowered his head while accepting the crystal ball.

***

that time.

The treatment center of the Duke of Roelheim’s family.

It was not a family estate, but a private treatment center owned by the duke’s daughter, so the scale was only two floors.

However, the hospital room prepared at the innermost part of this floor was luxurious enough to be comparable to the treatment center in the imperial palace.

A red-haired young man lying on a bed in the hospital room.

The eyelids of Leon, the butler of the Duke of Roelheim and Catherine’s servant, slowly opened.

The light from the chandelier spilled over the sight.

The all-white ceiling, and the countless magic tools for healing that clung to the whole body.

The man who opened his eyes muttered.

“Here… … .”

“You have come to your senses.”

“… … ?”

A familiar voice echoed in my ears.

The therapist belonging to the Duke of Roelheim said with a relieved face.

“I am very fortunate. Clearing all the curses was the correct answer. The previously ridiculous resilience is back.”

“… … How long have I been asleep?”

“It’s only half a day. Less than twelve hours have passed, so you can rest a little longer.”

“That’s good.”

I’m so glad

It would have been difficult if he had stayed asleep for several days like the last time he met the saintess.

If it’s only half a day, I’ll just wake up after a good night’s sleep.

I opened the status window to check the properties.

‘Everything is normal.’

Due to Duke Geoffrey’s curse, the self-healing trait, which had an almost F-class effect, returned to its original state.

Thanks to that, the whole body was restored, and it was in a state where it could run around immediately with vitality.

“It seems that everything has been restored, so stop… … .”

Chunk.

“?”

What is this sound?

I instinctively lowered my head at the sound of metal coming from my limbs.

“… … ?”

Only then did I realize what situation I was in.

The restraints that bound my wrists and ankles and the corners of the steel bed were chained together.

An incomprehensible situation.

I tried to shake my limbs to remove the restraints, but for some reason the magic didn’t work properly.

“What is this… … .”

“Yeah, you noticed.”

“What is this?”

When I raise my voice and ask,

The therapist replied with a puzzled face.

“I-I didn’t do it.”

“What is that… … .”

“ah! Leon!”

A silver-haired woman came into the hospital room just as she was about to get angry with the therapist.

“You are awake! I worried a lot, a lot… … .”

“Miss Catherine.”

At the appearance of my savior, he quickly pointed down at me with the tip of his chin and said.

“This mad healer has redeemed me.”

“ah… … .”

“What kind of artifact is it? The mana doesn’t work properly.”

“then… … Go?”

“Yes. So let’s get this out of the way… … .”

“That’s fortunate. It is worthwhile to ask my father.”

“… … Yes?”

What is this sound?

Is it worthwhile to ask your father?

“I was worried about what to do if it was a defective product… … I’m really glad.”

She looks at me and smiles brightly.

“I-I’m going to go to the bathroom!”

The healer, who was sweating profusely, threw off the thirty-six series of lines.

“… … .”

I was so stunned by that look that I couldn’t even speak.

‘What imprisoned me like this… … Aren’t you a healer?’

Not even anyone else

That the culprit was Lady Catherine?

She looks down at me with dangerous eyes that spin round and round.

Catherine, who was sitting on the hospital chair next to the bed, raised her white hand and gently brushed my chest.

“miss? It seems like a bit of a prank.”

“… … .”

“First, let’s solve this and talk… … .”

“No.”

A cold, subdued voice.

“You must settle down. So, absolutely unacceptable.”

“… … Catherine?”

‘There’s never been a time when it didn’t go through like this.’

I won’t back down today

It was a very firm attitude.

Restrained on the bed, I looked up and met her eyes.

More at noblemtl com

Jet-black pupils that seemed to contain an abyss.

“… … .”

The owner’s eyes were shining more dangerously than ever.
