The Duke’s Madness - The Duke’s Madness chapter 75

Bavarian blood stirred.

To be precise, it was the blood of a genie fed by Bayern’s blood.

‘what? Why is Genie’s blood all of a sudden?’

It was when Arthur tilted his head along with his thoughts.

Something tickled my ankle.

‘grass?’

I didn’t know it, but at some point, the overgrown grass was tickling my ankles.

However, the grass in other places did not grow.

‘Only the grass where I’m standing… It grew just like when Genie touched the flower.’

Arthur raises his eyes with the thought.

Then he turned his gaze to Undine and the gnomes.

[uh?]

[…] what?]

A boy and a girl shaking their heads.

The boy and girl had grown up at some point.

from girl to woman.

from boy to man.

Gnome and Undine, who had grown up so quickly, looked at each other in bewilderment.

‘It has evolved. From mid-level to high-level spirits.’

Arthur bursts into exclamation along with the thought.

Could it be that the change I felt a moment ago made the gnomes and undines evolve?

‘… But does this make sense? How could this be?’

According to common sense, affinity with spirits cannot be increased all at once.

No, to be honest, there was no way to increase the spirit affinity close to talent.

‘Of course not me. If you use the Bavarian lineage to absorb a lineage superior to Genie’s blood… I can get a better spirit affinity.’

However, the current self did not absorb the lineage.

Then why did the spirit affinity increase?

Arthur, who was worried, was startled.

“Genie?”

Even Ginny was startled by the call and murmured.

“Dawn?”

Arthur and Ginny, who blinked at each other, are shocked at the same time.

“how… … ?”

“Intermediate to advanced… by?”

When we watched each other for a while with these words, Arthur suddenly remembered.

‘Could it be that Genie’s lineage ability has grown?’

Arthur, who was thinking about the family that came up, nodded.

‘It makes the most sense in the current situation… Genie’s lineage ability has grown, so he can handle higher level spirits.’

I don’t know why her lineage ability suddenly grew, but considering that her lineage is an unusually heterogeneous race called ‘Elf’, it made sense.

‘Because they say there is an ancestor who signed a contract with the King of Spirits.’

The problem is that Ginny’s abilities have grown, but why did my lineage abilities also grow?

‘Could this be the Bavarian lineage that Whitebeard spoke of… … ?’

Arthur shook his head.

‘no. I don’t think so… … .’

It was a great change, but there was no way that the demonic warlock would have helped him because of this ability alone.

‘That means that something went wrong with the genie, and my blood reacted accordingly… … .’

This time he nodded.

Judging from the circumstances, this one seemed a little more plausible.

‘I think I’ll have to spend some time thinking about the reason… I’ve never experienced this ability in my previous life.’

Arthur, who turned his gaze with thoughts, looked at Ginny.

‘To do so… I think I need a genie for now.’

Arthur, who was worried, opened his mouth and said.

“Genie. Do you have somewhere to go?”

Ginny narrowed her eyes.

“conflict… What?”

“yes. If you have nowhere to go… “

Ginny’s eyes, which had been stunned at the suggestion, widened.

“How about staying at my house for a while?”

* * *

“Dawn… Are you home?”

“yes. You have to find a new house anyway. Then how about staying at my house during that time?”

“No, that doesn’t matter, but that doesn’t mean you can stay for free… … .”

Arthur snapped his fingers at Ginny’s words.

“Then would you like to work for our family?”

“… … .”

“That way, you can earn money and have a house to stay in, right?”

Ginny replied with a puzzled expression.

“Are you serious?”

“I mean it.”

“… Then can you tell me why you are suddenly making this offer?”

Arthur raised an eyebrow.

“To be honest, I was curious.”

“… Are you curious?”

“yes. I’m curious about why both of us suddenly became high-ranking spiritists, and whether we can grow further in the future, so I’m suggesting it.”

Ginny’s eyes widened at the answer.

‘Sir, are you persuasive?’

Arthur’s unexpected and convincing answer.

Ginny, who did not know that this madman could give such a normal answer, murmured in genuine surprise.

“surely… That’s right. Why did they both grow all of a sudden?”

“To figure this out, shouldn’t the genie be in my house?”

“… I’m nice, but if I get a job, do I have to be a lady-in-waiting?”

Arthur tilted his head.

“Oh, don’t you like maid work?”

“Oh, no, not that… … .”

“then?”

Genie answered, avoiding Arthur’s gaze.

“It’s a bit like that… Still, it’s better to wait on someone you know.”

“… … .”

“It doesn’t matter if it’s a lady-in-waiting from another family, but serving someone you know is a bit… … .”

Arthur narrowed his eyes.

‘hmm… Genie feels strangely shy in a place like this.’

Arthur stroked his chin and asked.

“Then is it okay to work at my house?”

“… It doesn’t matter. the problem is.”

“the problem is?”

Ginny’s eyes twinkle.

“money.”

“… … .”

“Money. I can do anything for you, depending on how much you pay.”

Arthur groaned.

“This is like a Genie again.”

“… What do you mean by being like me?”

“A mistress who reveals money?”

Ginny frowned.

“You make very difficult things easy.”

“You don’t have to go round and round, do you?”

With these words, Arthur rose from his seat.

“Let’s stay for a while and think about it. I won’t give you money, I’ll discuss it and decide.”

Ginny looked up and said.

“You really want to stay here?”

“yes.”

“… Can you stay with me?”

Arthur tilted his head.

“Then what’s not going to happen?”

At Arthur’s question, which seemed obvious, Ginny shook her head.

“… I don’t know the real Dunn.”

“I don’t understand when Ginny does that too.”

Ginny suggested with a chuckle.

“Then how about this, Dunn? I’d rather help Dawn’s work.”

Arthur’s eyes widened.

“My job?”

“yes. Whether it’s a mercenary job… Or, like this case, whenever something happens, I will help Dunn.”

“… … .”

“Then wouldn’t the situation itself be neat? I can stay in this house a little more comfortably, and the cause is appropriate.”

Arthur groaned and said.

“By the way, I heard Ginny is no longer doing mercenary work?”

“That’s right. but… … .”

Silent, she averted her gaze.

“Dawn helped me too… … .”

“… … .”

“Also, the thing I can do best is that side, so if Dunn asks, I have to do it. And above all… … .”

Ginny turned her gaze back to look at Arthur.

“I hate being in debt to anyone.”

“oh… … .”

“So until Dawn pays off her debt for saving her job today, I’ll do anything to help. how is it? What if this condition?”

Arthur raised an eyebrow.

“It’s good. There is no reason to refuse.”

“Okay, so the contract is concluded?”

Arthur nodded and held out his hand.

Ginny, who held his hand, asked a playful question.

“Should I call you Prince Arthur of Bavaria now?”

Arthur shrugged.

“Please do as you please. by the way.”

Arthur smiles and greets you.

“Welcome to House Bavarian, Ginny.”

next day.

Arthur briefly explained the situation to Anna.

“… This is how Ginny stays with us for a while, Anna.”

Ginny, who was next to me, hesitated, walked out and bowed her head.

“Please take good care of me, Miss Anna. I’m Gin… My name is Daven.”

Anna asked with a smile.

“So, Ginny is completely ours now, Gongja?”

“hmm… right now? There are circumstances, so I would stay, but I don’t want to stay for free, so I think I’ll have to give you a suitable job.”

Ginny, who was next to her, nodded.

In the conversation we had yesterday, all we had to do was stay at home moderately and help out whenever Arthur asked, but Ginny couldn’t do that.

‘It’s worth noting, it’s better to just make an excuse and do the job.’

Anything was possible except serving Arthur’s attendants.

There was nothing I couldn’t do in the 10 years I lived in Arcane.

Ginny spoke with her thoughts in a confident voice.

“I have no intention of living for free, so please order me anything, Miss Anna.”

“You can just be comfortable, Ginny.”

“I also have something to notice, but how can I do that?”

“hmm… Well, maybe that’s the case too. So how long are you staying?”

The question left Ginny speechless.

‘… Come to think of it, how long do I have to stay?’

one week? one month?

Or until we figure out why he suddenly became a senior elementalist?

Arthur opens his mouth at that time when he can’t answer quickly.

“Until Ginny wants it.”

“… … ?”

“I’ll make Ginny stay as long as she wants. So treat me well, Anna.”

Ginny’s eyes widened at the answer.

In the meantime, Anna smiled contentedly.

“Then I’ll teach you the right things first, Gongja-nim.”

“Yes please.”

With these words, Arthur got up and left the house.

“Then I’ll just go. If you’re late now, it’s really late.”

Anna, who was watching the scene, waved her hand, and Ginny also waved her hand in a daze.

When Arthur, who was seen off by the two women, left the mansion, Anna, who was next to him, looked away and said,

“Miss Ginny.”

“yes?”

“I’m going to call you comfortably from now on, would it be okay?”

Ginny nodded.

“sure. Just call me Ginny.”

“Hmm… Then Ginny.”

“yes?”

“With our Confucius… What are you doing?”

Ginny shuts her mouth at the sharply poked question.

While Anna let out an exclamation inwardly at that reaction, Ginny muttered while rubbing her brows together.

“hmm… We are friends for now.”

Anna raised her eyebrows.

“Yes. It starts with being friends.”

“… … ?”

“But how did you two become friends? Looking at it, it seems Genie doesn’t even go to Arcane University, right?”

Ginny tilted her head.

‘uh… Is there something strange about the flow of the story?’

Genie was expected to be asked what kind of work he wants to do or what kind of work he is confident in, but he answered meekly.

“There is someone I and Confucius have a relationship with, and we met and became close through his introduction.”

“There is a kite… Are you?”

Anna, whose horse tail was blurred, swallowed dry saliva.

‘Leon Madrid… Were they introduced to each other by the prince?’

In terms of circumstances, it seemed so.

‘Seo, it can’t be a love triangle, right?’

If my guess was correct, there was a high possibility that Confucius would be unhappy.

‘Usually, the sub male lead position is… I thought the ending wasn’t good.’

It is because the standard of romance is to look at only one woman all the time and eventually get involved with the leading man.

Of course, Anna was well aware that reality was different.

‘It can change… That’s why I have to do my best here!’

With the thought, Anna smiled.

“Our Gongjanim is a really nice person.”

“… … ?”

“Even if he sometimes says or does strange things, he has a good heart, right?”

Ginny narrowed her eyes at the question.

‘You have a good heart? Arthur Bayern?’

The Arthur Bayern I’ve seen so far was a madman with no heart rather than a good heart.

I couldn’t agree because of that, but I couldn’t say this to Anna, Arthur Bavaria’s attendant.

“Yeah, that’s right. I have a good heart… Do you?”

“I knew Ginny would think so too! And if you just look at Confucius, he’s tall and has a handsome face, right? I don’t know why I still don’t have a girlfriend!”

“… He is definitely tall and has a good face.”

So there was a greater sense of disparity.

Why do you choose to do such crazy things with such a normal Houdae?

However, Anna, unaware of Ginny’s feelings, proposed with a satisfied smile on her lips.

“Whoops… Does this sound like a good time to chat?”

“Can you talk?”

“yes! Originally, if you want to be close, you have to chat and have tea time! Wait a moment, I’ll bring you tea and snacks!”

With these words, Anna hums and disappears somewhere.

Ginny narrowed her eyes as she watched.

‘… When you become a lady-in-waiting from a prestigious family, you have such pride in your master.’

I thought it was great because of that.

How could you show that kind of attitude while serving Arthur Bavaria as your master?

It was when I carefully sat down on the sofa in the living room with that thought.

“… … .”

A cool breeze and warm sunlight streamed in through the windows.

I don’t know if it’s because of that, but the atmosphere in the house was warm, and my body and mood became drowsy as well.

“Good… … .”

With these words, Ginny smiles.

The mansion was uncomfortable at first, but the moment it was decided as a place to stay, everything felt different.

So Ginny suddenly comes to mind.

‘If you stay here… Maybe I’m fulfilling my dream?’

Thinking about it, Ginny burst out laughing.

‘I didn’t expect my dream to come true this way.’

But, it wasn’t as bad as I thought.

The smiley Genie was able to enjoy happiness after a long time.
