The Lazy Genius of the Duke’s Family (231)
The Forgotten Woman (1)
The day Benio decided to return.
As he did every time he came to Casa Kepler, Benio went out to breakfast dressed neatly, for even without the Duke of Kepler, there were Madame Josephine and Madame Susanna.
The two ladies did not welcome Benio in the least. They blatantly ignored him, but Benio still went out to breakfast.
‘I want to do it more because I can see what I hate.’
How could she be compared to Mrs. Kendall, Lumen’s mother? A chill flowed through the hall that made it impossible to believe that they were from the same household.
Whenever Benio came, the maids would always be on edge; the expressions on the faces of Madame Josephine and Madame Susanna were so bad that they couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
Knock knock.
Benio saw the two ladies enter, stood up from his seat, and bowed respectfully.
“I hope you had a good night.”
Benio’s greetings dissipated into empty mutterings. The two ladies sat down with the help of their maids without even looking at Benio.
And the plate was placed on the table.
Freshly baked bread and jam, with the fragrant smell of butter, milk, eggs, and meat were prepared. The two women did not touch the bread and milk. Instead, they only gestured for tea, fruit, and salad, and then elegantly poked at the fruit with a fork.
Slurp.
The maid brought a small bottle and poured the liquid into the two ladies’ teacups. Then, the fragrant scent of flowers spread throughout the hall. Benio put down his fork and smiled.
“You are the lady of flowers.”
“….”
The two ladies pretended not to hear Benio. In fact, they did not want to use something made by Benio, whom they hated to death. However, the two ladies were also women. So they could not help but use the flower lady, who was known to be effective by those around them.
“When we return to the village, I will send you a gift via Premium Line, Mother.”
Even though there was no answer, Benio continued to talk to himself. In fact, it didn’t matter whether the two ladies answered or not. The fact that he was writing “The Lady of Flowers” meant that the money from the two ladies’ pockets was filling Benio’s stomach.
“I’ll send one to each of you. Women’s hearts are all the same.”
Twinkle twinkle.
The maids’ eyes sparkled to the point of being burdensome. The maids also had eyes and ears. It was impossible for them not to be curious about the flower lady.
The price was just a pie in the sky that their salaries could not afford, so they could not help but be touched when the Archduke said he would send it to them.
“Should I send the Night Noble too? I think it would be nice to have a younger sibling.”
widely.
Madame Josephine put down her teacup. Then she pushed her chair aside and got up. From her perspective, she did not like the idea of Benio, a lowly weightlifter, enjoying what her son, Crito, should have enjoyed.
But the teacup was completely empty.
The anger towards Benio was anger, and it seemed that the Lady of Flowers could not let go.
“You must be embarrassed.”
Benio chuckled. Benio, feeling better, seemed to have a better appetite as he piled eggs and meat on his plate.
Rain, rain.
Ugh, ugh, ugh.
There was no trace of noble dignity in Benio, who ate while making a slurping sound. But for some reason, Madame Susanna did not get up.
She frowned at the rustling sound, but she elegantly refilled her teacup without getting up from her seat. Benio smirked.
‘Let’s see how long you can hold out.’
Benio swept up the food. After training hard since morning, Benio’s appetite was enormous. He was able to finish the amount that would be enough for ten adults to eat in the morning.
‘It seems that training to master space takes more energy than I thought. It’s so delicious.’
The three generations of the Dukes used very different ingredients, but all the food was delicious. Perhaps the reason it tasted even better was because it was fun to see the expression on Lady Susanna’s face, blushing and turning blue, as she held back for some reason even though she wanted to get up right away.
Benio’s eating continued until all the food he had prepared was gone.
The maid, who had been watching with suspicion, got upset when Benio finished all the breakfast he had prepared and was about to prepare more, but Benio stopped her.
“Overeating is not good. Stop here.”
If there had been a Duke Kepler, this wouldn’t have happened. But there was no Duke anyway, only Lady Susanna, who seemed to have some business to attend to.
So Benio acted without hesitation. Of course, when Benio said he would stop eating so as not to overeat, the maid looked at him with a bewildered expression.
Ugh―.
Benio even trimmed his hair. If someone else saw it, it wouldn’t be strange to say that it was an unsightly attitude. However, Madame Susanna kept her mouth shut at the sight of Benio’s undignified appearance.
“Mother, is there anything you would like to say to me?”
Lady Susanna put down her teacup gracefully, but her eyes were filled with emotions she could not hide.
Annoyance, anger, hatred, disgust, etc.
The emotions that had been swirling around in that fleeting moment had disappeared, except that Benio had caught her eye. Benio smiled brightly.
“You can take it easy. You are my mother.”
“You seem to already know, so let me speak freely.”
Benio has become the Grand Duke. That is why Lady Susanna cannot do this or that. Lady Susanna said to Benio.
“Are we leaving for Pingus today?”
“yes.”
“then.”
Madame Susanna said to Benio.
“I will be passing through the Galton Viscounty, so may I stop by Galton Home on the way and ask the Archduke’s grandmother for a letter and some medicine?”
“Grandma?”
Grandma.
Benio snickered. He meant his grandmother, who was not related to Benio by blood, that is, the biological mother of Viscount Galton and Lady Susanna.
Since Lady Susanna is called his mother, if she is his biological mother, then his grandmother will take care of Benio.
Benio said with a worried expression.
“Medicine? Is there anything wrong with you?”
“It’s just a simple illness.”
It’s strange. But at the same time, it’s not strange. If it’s a loving family, it’s not something you wouldn’t ask for.
Rather than just using subordinates to send letters and medicines, it can be said that it is more filial to parents to convey it through family members.

However, if it were a family that was not at all friendly or considered enemies, then it would be a different story.
Benio smiled brightly.
“It’s not that difficult, is it?”
“Please, Your Highness.”
“He is my son. Please think of him at ease, Mother.”
Benio laughed. Then Madame Susanna laughed too. To a stranger, they seemed like a very friendly couple.
“Then, Mother, please send someone to send a letter and medicine. I will make sure to deliver it to you on my way.”
“Oh, my. There must be more than one thing to prepare for departure. I must have wasted time.”
“No, Mother.”
“By the way, when are you coming again?”
Madame Susanna asked Benio. Benio smiled.
“Your Majesty said he would send someone to inform you. He cannot leave the duke’s castle empty for too long.”
Agent Peacock.
Since Duke Kepler has gone on an expedition, the ducal castle is empty. To that end, Duke Kepler has appointed Benio as his acting duke.
Despite his vassals’ concerns, Duke Kepler dismissed them, and soon Benio was scheduled to return to Casa Kepler as Duke’s representative to carry out his duties.
“Yes, I’m sure you can do it.”
“Thank you, mother.”
Benio nodded and left the hall. Madame Susanna’s expression changed as she was left alone in the hall.
It was an expression that seemed colder than the cold north wind blowing.
“I can’t stand hearing that word ‘mother.’ It’s so disgusting. I need to wash my ears.”
***
The mad dog mercenary group has started moving!
The news that the long-dormant mercenary band that had been rooted in the Marquis of Meyer in the Amorian Empire for several years had moved on spread like wildfire throughout the mercenary world.
A million mercenaries.
Even if the exaggerated figures were inflated by the actual number of mercenaries, this was news about the mercenary king, a superstar of the mercenary world with hundreds of thousands of troops that would instantly become equivalent to that number.
[The Mercenary King’s next destination is one of the three great dukedoms!]
The news that the Mercenary King’s destination was one of the three great dukes spread along with the news of the Mad Dog Mercenary Corps. Then, the noblemen began to argue, each offering their own opinions.
[It is said that the Ismail Duke’s family offered the title of Duke to the Mercenary King.]
[It is said that the Duke of Verum raised a magician and threw down the gauntlet to the King of Mercenaries.]
[It is said that the Duke of Kepler offered the Mercenary King a contract worth 1 billion gold.]
The Mercenary King no longer accepts any more requests. However, the information known to the world is incorrect.
The reason was that it was difficult to raise enough money to move the Mercenary King. The only people who could afford the expensive ransom of the Mercenary King were the three major dukes, aside from the royal families and royal families of each country.
That’s why half of the rumors were true about the mercenary king’s movements.
“It’s a fun family.”
“Do you think so?”
“Beltor. Relax your expression. If you don’t, you’ll end up with wrinkles.”
The destination has been set. Mercenaries are not soldiers. The Mad Dog Mercenary Corps is merely a group of mercenaries who have gathered together in admiration of the Mercenary King’s military power, and the Mercenary King does not personally lead 30,000 mercenaries.
The thirty thousand mercenaries who went forward were very free-spirited. The mercenary king was only one of them, so he rode his horse toward the wide field with the hundred mercenaries that he had personally gathered.
“Storm Sword Master. I’ve heard rumors about it. Is it true?”
“You think it’s real, don’t you? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have moved.”
Beltor is the younger brother of the Mercenary King. As expected of the Mercenary King’s younger brother, he is a S-class mercenary, but in reality, he acts as a trickster and a hostess.
When the Mercenary King causes an accident, his main role is to clean it up.
People called him the mercenary prime minister. Since Freud was the mercenary king, Beltor, who was the mercenary king’s lackey, should be the prime minister.
“That’s true.”
Freud laughed heartily. Storm Sword, there is no swordsman who would not feel his heart pounding when he hears that name. But that sword was in the hands of the Kepler family, and the Archduke at that, so it would be strange for him, who is obsessed with swords, to not move.
“But you’re also telling me to earn some pocket money.”
“Brother. I am the Archduke of the Kepler family. You must keep that in mind.”
“I know. It’s going to hurt my ears. You’re treating Woohyung like a child.”
That’s because there is a record.
“Even though the mother did not give birth to the child because of the pain in her stomach, she still sent a request to make the child disabled.”
“You look so happy about that, brother.”
“The Archduke is 18 years old. But didn’t he say he was a high-level expert? And he even has a storm sword!”
Just the fact that he was promoted to Advanced Expert at the age of 18 is enough to turn the continent upside down. And on top of that, he’s the owner of the Storm Sword. Doesn’t he sound like the main character in an old tale?
“I would believe it even if you said it was the second coming of the Storm Sword Lord.”
“Is that why your hands are shaking?”
“It’s a test to see if you are qualified to be the Storm Sword Master or not.”
“If you make it like that, the Kepler family will be in chaos.”
Freud shrugged his shoulders with a calm expression.
“That’s none of my business.”
“older brother.”
“Okay. Oh, man. I’ll take it easy.”
Beltor was anxious. Freud had never said anything like that and kept his word. When he was younger than he is now, he was so hot-blooded that he couldn’t control himself and got into trouble every day.
After becoming an Auror Master, I got older and became a bit more reserved. I developed a hobby of collecting famous swords, so I stopped actively accepting requests.
But if I tell him that I am worried because Freud’s expression is so bright when he goes to meet the young prince who is rumored to be the Storm Sword Master after a long time, how will he react?
‘It’ll be more exciting.’
Beltor’s sigh grew louder. For some reason, his steps toward the small city in the northern corner felt heavy. It was because he felt as if a mountain of work was piling up before his eyes.
“My blood is boiling and I can’t stand it anymore. I have to run. Hurry up!!!”
Hehehehe!
Beltor’s sigh grew louder as he watched the already excited mercenary king run away on horseback and horseback.
