I Became the Vassal the The Tyrannical Is Obsessed With

Chapter 31 Eat This!

Eat Chapter 31!

The Marquis of Marlborough was sitting on a bench in a corner of the banquet hall.

“As you commanded, I brought the secretary.”

“Yes. Just go back.”

The Marquis beckoned the butler who had brought me to leave. The butler greeted the Marquis and me, and went back to his work.

“… ….”

The Marquis sat with his legs crossed and stared at my face with a crooked posture.

Looks like you should say hello first…….

Reluctantly, remembering the difference in social status, I bowed at about 45 degrees.

“Good night, Marquis of Marlborough.”

“You say hello so quickly.”

The Marquis Marquis clicked his tongue proudly.

The words “What can I do, old man,” Came to my throat, but I had the patience to swallow them back.

“Hmm… ….”

He didn’t tell me about the business that had called me, but only let out a heavy sob. Still, his dark eyes scanned my face.

A look as if looking down from above and evaluating it.

It felt like an eye gauging the value of an object, so a sense of displeasure came over me.

“What was the reason the Marquis was looking for me?”

I finally couldn’t stand it and opened my mouth first. The Marquis clicked his tongue as if he was offended by my attitude again.

Seeing that he often clicked his tongue, he seemed a bit lighthearted.

“I was about to say it, but I hurried it.”

The Marquis of Marlborough glared at me with a frown. It wasn’t particularly scary, but I pretended to shrug my shoulders moderately.

As if he liked my acting, he immediately relaxed his eyes.

“You didn’t respond to the meeting, so I called you once.”

“… ….”

When did this person ask me to meet you?

I soon remembered that I had received a letter from an unknown sender the other day.

“Why did you send that suspicious letter… ….”

“Yes, it is me.”

The Marquis, who answered concisely, got up from the bench.

“I thought it was sent just for a quick poke, but I was a bit surprised because he didn’t seem to care at all.”

“Because I’m not the kind of person who is obsessed with things like that.”

“Tsk. It’s arrogant not to have blood on your head.”

The Marquis of Marlboro clicks his tongue again.

It was the same at the noble meeting, but I didn’t like it when I met him face-to-face like this.

“Follow me.”

“Where are you going?”

“Outside the banquet hall. It’s a bit difficult to talk about here.”

I was troubled for a moment.

You’re not trying to harm me, are you?

“I don’t know what you’re thinking, but I’m just trying to talk. I’m not doing anything weird.”

Well, it won’t be easy to touch me anyway.

First of all, I am Cecilia’s direct secretary.

The other being Ilaina, who is still keeping an eye on my movements in the dark.

So even if this man hurts me, it means that he will get revenge in some way.

‘Let’s listen to what he’s talking about.’

I decided to find out more about this man.

“Yes. We move outside.”

“Follow me. I’m going out through the side door.”

The Marquis of Marlborough pointed to a nearby door. I could feel the intention of not being noticed by people as much as possible.

What the hell, how careful are you talking about…….

I glared at the back of the head of the marquis, who was leading the way, then moved on.

Meanwhile, Mulia was saying hello to her family.

“Honey. Didn’t you write a letter?”

Her father, Earl Fordward, gave her a light bruise.

“From now on, I will write to you from time to time, Father.”

“Just answer well, only answer.”

Earl Ford Ward looked at his daughter endearingly even as he scolded her.

“If you ever need anything, just let me know.”

“There is nothing in the imperial palace, mother.”

“Baby. Still, there is one thing in the world.”

At the concern of her mother, Countess Ford Ward, Mullia smiled lightly.

Even though Mullia was already a full-fledged adult, she still looked like a child in the eyes of the Countess. Since she was the only child of her countess and wife, she couldn’t help but feel that heart more.

Because she was aware of her mother’s feelings, like Mullia, she didn’t wear a toe anymore.

“I’ll just get up. The two of you, please don’t worry about me and enjoy the banquet comfortably.”

“Are you going to Lady Flora?”

At the Countess’s question, Mullia nodded her head saying yes.

“If you have time later, come with Lady Flora. Let’s say goodbye after a long time.”

“Yes, mother.”

After Mullia said her goodbyes to her parents, she turned around to go back to her side, Flora.

‘Hmm?’

She then suddenly noticed a strange sight. Luke was talking face to face with her Marquis of Marlborough.

As far as she knows, the Marquis of Marlborough is the right-hand man of Duke Montersen, an elder of the aristocratic faction.

One of the characters on the opposite side of Cecilia.

‘Why is the secretary with him?’

She was only with Flora when they were separated for a while.

“Mulia? Why?”

It wasn’t until she heard Earl Ford Ward’s call that Mullia was able to awaken from her thoughts.

“Okay. I just want to see someone I know.”

“I see.”

“Then I will go to Lady Flora.”

Mulia greeted her parents and then she moved on her steps again. She turned her gaze back to the bench where Luke and the Marquis were together.

The conversation seemed to have ended, and the two men started to move somewhere.

What the hell was that conversation about?

Mulia couldn’t take her eyes off the two men until the moment they left through the side door.

* * *

She exited the banquet hall through the side door.

Unlike the banquet hall, which was as bright as daylight thanks to the chandelier, there was definitely a deep darkness outside.

At least there was a street lamp built nearby, powered by a magic stone, so I could clearly see the back of the Marquis of Marquis in front of me.

“How far are you going?”

“Just a little further.”

After a while, the Marquis stopped walking. It was a place where the light of the street lamp barely reached.

I just rolled my eyes and looked around.

There were no windows to see the interior of the banquet hall. Of course, I didn’t see anyone walking around except me and the Marquis.

The perfect place for intimate conversations.

“What the hell did you bring me here to say?”

“You are more impatient than you look.”

The Marquis clicked her tongue for a moment and then brought her to the point.

“I would like to propose a good deal.”

“A deal?”

I tilted my head to one side because I couldn’t guess.

“If you agree to this deal, I will give you as much money as you want. In addition to that, I will listen to what you want.”

The moment I heard about money, my ears were drawn.

Because I still need to save as much money as possible to escape to another country.

However, no matter how good the money was, doubts about the Marquis of Marquis could not be completely erased.

I still had to gather more materials to judge.

“What kind of deal do you want?”

“There is only one thing I want.”

The Marquis raised his index finger at me as if showing off.

“You only need to sell me the information you know.”

“Information, yo?”

I asked with a frown on my face, and the Marquis replied yes.

Is this the information he wants?

I asked a more in-depth question to get some confirmation on this suspicion.

“If that information is about the imperial family or Her Majesty Cecilia… ….”

“You’re quick to notice that you might not be the secretary.”

“… ….”

To be honest, I was a bit surprised.

It is understandable that he expresses his dissenting opinion on every agenda raised during the meeting of nobles. This is because it is difficult to come up with a unified opinion on any agenda.

But I never thought I’d try to manipulate you from behind like this.

You must have been a meaner and meaner person than you look.

“Are you saying it’s a transaction where you only need to hand over simple information? You have nothing to lose…….”

“If.”

I cut the marquis’s horse’s waist. The Marquis sent a displeased look towards me, but I didn’t care.

“What are you planning to do if you refuse?”

“Ha!”

The Marquis laughed nonchalantly.

“I thought my head was spinning, but I was an idiot who couldn’t even judge profit or loss!”

“I would have accepted it, Marquis.”

“What, are you trying to bring up some nonsensical good or justice?”

The Marquis was openly sarcastic.

Well, that’s not entirely wrong. There are few things in this world that can be solved only with goodness or justice.

Even in Korea, where I lived in my previous life, I have seen and heard of such cases countless times.

But if there are people who live only for their own gain, there are also people who live according to their own beliefs.

At least I don’t want to do the mean thing of giving up something else for gain. It was also the old teaching of my father, Baron Nedville.

If you are a man, live with your convictions.

“Yes. I have to protect what you laugh at.”

“Being His Majesty’s secretary, your nose has only grown. At least for the child of the baron family, right?”

Has the bridge of the nose risen?

No. There is nothing like that. Rather, he was struggling because he couldn’t get hit by his work.

Moreover, Cecilia will later become the one responsible for leading the Eckhart Empire to destruction.

However, even though I knew the future, I had no intention of accepting the Marquis’ deal.

If you think about whether selling out information about Cecilia is an honorable thing, it wasn’t like that at all.

And I didn’t want to spend the money I earned in a mean way to get away from the Empire. Because that’s really my least conscience.

“No. If that makes you look like you have a high nose, you don’t see people very well.”

“What are you talking about?”

I responded calmly, and the Marquis immediately frowned. Still, I didn’t slow down.

“And you have both money and status, but not a bit of conscience. If you thought that I could do whatever you want for a few pennies, you are very mistaken.”

“He’s more fun than he looks.”

The Marquis of Marlborough chuckled like someone who had gone mad. But that laugh didn’t last long.

The Marquis, who erased his smile in an instant, glared at me with a bloody look in his eyes.

“Even if your family won’t be safe?”

It was clearly intended to scare me with a threatening tone.

But what can I do? The threat doesn’t work for me at all.

“Okay. I wonder if you can really harm our family.”

“What?”

“Don’t you know my name? Luke Nedville.”

“Yes. What did that mean?”

I can’t seem to remember it, so I have no choice but to tell you.

It’s a bit of a gamble, but now wasn’t the time to cover cold rice with hot rice.

“My father is Harold Nedville. He once traveled all over the continent of Arsenia, eradicating pirates and bandits.”

“!”

The Marquis made a surprised expression for an instant.

The gamble paid off.

But it seems my real father was once famous throughout the Eckhart Empire. To the extent that the marquis in front of him looked so surprised.

“More than anything else, do you think His Majesty will just sit back and watch the situation? No way. Don’t you usually consider that level of remorse?”

“Goyan things… ….”

The Marquis sharpened his teeth. But I couldn’t properly refute my words.

Looks like they were planning on doing something right from the start without any countermeasures.

“There seems to be no room for negotiation, so let’s go back.”

“That will never be there.”

“But I’m not going to let this matter go unnoticed. Just wait and see, kid!”

The Marquis spat in front of me and moved towards the banquet hall.

How can a real person be this small?

Rather than being displeased, I just wanted to do something like that. So I decided to pay the Marquis of Marquis my own way.

“Eat this.”

It was to fly cuckoo right at the back of the human’s head.
