Episode 58

 

* * *

 

“Little Master? What are you doing there?”

 

In the center of the Duke’s Estate, there was a beautifully decorated small plaza.

 

I was sitting in front of the fountain in the plaza, watching people come and go here and there.

 

They would ask me what I was doing as they passed by, and I always gave the same answer.

 

“Ah, I’m waiting for Lord Belief.”

 

“Huh? Lo, Lord Belief? Th, the Lord Belief who stays in the cabin?”

 

…Without fail, every single one of them responded with a rotten expression.

 

‘Everyone must be scared because Lord Belief doesn’t speak and has a fierce expression.’

 

But he’s just a countryside uncle with low self-esteem who happens to be capable…

 

That’s why I had something prepared.

 

“He’s come up to the mansion now! From now on, he’s going to do fun things with me!”

 

Speak of the devil and he shall appear – Belief Ardos appeared ominously behind me.

 

The servants and knights who had been busily crossing the plaza looked at each other with bewildered expressions.

 

Everyone already had fearful expressions, worried that Belief might cause some kind of trouble.

 

But I could see it.

 

‘Master Belief’s self-esteem has dropped a bit right now…’

 

I spoke in an exaggeratedly proud manner to the passing attendants, maids, servants, and servant girls.

 

“The development of my Animal Affinity is all thanks to Lord Belief here helping me.”

 

“…Pardon?”

 

“Our master has been misunderstood, but he’s actually a really wonderful person. He’s a Buff-type Ability User, and he teaches very meticulously.”

 

“Oh… Lo, Lord Belief Ardos is indeed a Buff-type Ability User, but…”

 

The servants and servant girls glanced at Belief, who stood ominously behind me without saying a word. Everyone was surely recalling the legendary stories of Belief’s delinquent days.

 

Moreover, perhaps due to his long life in the cabin.

 

Belief spoke well in one-on-one relationships, but seemed to find it awkward to stand in front of multiple people.

 

So I decided to make him happy in the way of a puppy.

 

I whistled loudly, making a sharp sound.

 

Then countless flocks of birds began flying toward my shoulder from afar.

 

The sight of colorful beautiful birds flying over and filling the plaza was spectacular.

 

“We heard that Little Master’s Special Ability was Animal Af, Affinity, but…”

 

“To think you could handle this many animals.”

 

Looking at the birds that had reached near my body, I smiled brightly.

 

If the development of Special Abilities was visually apparent, it would make a difference.

 

Especially for Ability Users who wanted to make their own power stronger than anyone else!

 

“From what I heard, our master is strong enough to turn an ordinary swordsman into a Sword Expert. I also learned from Lord Belief, which is why my affinity increased tremendously.”

 

At those words, several blood relatives passing by the plaza wore expressions of interest.

 

Then they hesitantly approached Belief.

 

“Um, by any chance, could you also provide supplementary help with swordsmanship abilities…?”

 

“Of course. I’d have to check, but it’s possible.”

 

“Me, me too! Please check if I can reach Sword Expert!”

 

“…I can’t create something from nothing.”

 

So honest!

 

Still, the love calls are pouring in!

 

I looked at Belief and the people with sparkling eyes.

 

After several dozen minutes passed and the crowd gradually dispersed, Belief looked at me with a moved expression.

 

“Why do you have that expression?”

 

“…No, I’m just thinking that this finally feels like a home that truly welcomes me.”

 

“Ah…”

 

When he said that, I felt a little sorry for him.

 

I patted his shoulder and said.

 

“From now on, make sure to use your abilities for good things.”

 

“Yes, I should.”

 

“But you absolutely must not give it away for free! You understand?”

 

“Yes, I’ll only give complete teachings to just one disciple.”

 

“Hehe.”

 

“For others, I’ll only provide supplementary help.”

 

That would be enough to restrain Duchess Lucretia’s priests.

 

“…Thank you, Coco.”

 

When he smiled broadly, I somehow felt reassured.

 

‘Well then, now slowly…’

 

I looked around sharply with keen eyes.

 

Sure enough, I could see Duchess Lucretia’s maid who had been watching the plaza hurriedly leaving.

 

* * *

 

“What? Why is Belief Ardos suddenly appearing?!”

 

At Duchess Lucretia’s anger-filled words, the maid quickly bowed her head.

 

“Madam, the entire territory is in chaos right now. Since Lord Belief’s special ability is top-grade, people heard the news that he would help with ability development, even if only to a very small extent…”

 

“What?”

 

The attendant beside her added.

 

“He’s not taking disciples, and only teaching very small parts, but still, compared to the priests, it’s much more impressive…”

 

“What are the priests doing?”

 

“Well, that is. They went to watch because Lord Belief’s special ability is amazing…”

 

“Those stupid and lazy fools!”

 

She glared at the maid and muttered through gritted teeth.

 

“Get out.”

 

She had properly lost face.

 

‘My private funds are empty, damn it!’

 

How much money had she thrown around here and there to bring a Buff Type priest into the family!

 

“Belief Ardos has returned, Madam!”

 

Belatedly, a young priest came running frantically to Duchess Lucretia.

 

“…Ha!”

 

She had only wasted money for nothing and made Duke Ardos an enemy.

 

“Wh-what should we do?”

 

“What do you mean what should we do. …For now, we must retreat.”

 

She ground her teeth.

 

Her daughter was rotting away in the convent.

 

‘It means she has no value to use.’

 

To catch his attention again, Theresia would have to prove her usefulness through marriage arrangements.

 

‘Or perhaps if other things disappear, he might turn his gaze back to us mother and daughter.’

 

If she eliminated both Coco who blocked her path, whether by chance or design, and even Chloe.

 

“That’s enough.”

 

“Pardon?”

 

“The social season is coming soon, so we can regroup and prepare again.”

 

Chloe, a ticking time bomb on the verge of rampage who could never enter the Imperial Palace with its intricate Magic Circles.

 

Coco, who couldn’t enter the Social Circle without a sponsor due to insufficient age.

 

The social season that could quickly eliminate both of them was returning.

 

“And this social season, I’ll be staging quite an interesting event.”

 

Perhaps it would be an incident that could stake the fate of life and death.

 

She murmured to the maid.

 

“Bring Young Lady Dahlia Melomand.”

 

Dahlia Melomand.

 

The one called the flower of the current Social Circle.

 

Once Chloe’s close friend, but Dahlia was greedy.

 

She even had a history of coveting Chloe’s Fiancé.

 

‘But to me, she’s a more useful card than anything else.’

 

Dahlia’s Special Ability was 【Distortion】.

 

The power itself wasn’t that impressive, but with just a small gesture, she could completely distort situations.

 

She smiled brightly as she surveyed her surroundings.

 

“We’ll need to have a serious conversation. About this social season.”
