Chapter 100

“Louis, no, you’re saying the Young Count went there together too?”

“That’s right.”

I hurriedly stood up from my seat.

“Where are you going, Rene? If it’s the first floor…”

“I need to go see the Young Count.”

“Why?”

“The Young Count has been coughing continuously for the past few days too. That means the Young Count might also…”

“The Masu Transformation might be progressing.”

When I nodded, the Count’s face turned pale. He quickly stood up from his seat and followed me.

“Let’s go together.”

We immediately went straight to find Louis and headed to Louis’s office.

But Louis wasn’t in his office.

A maid who was tidying the office was startled to see me and the Count suddenly burst in and bowed her waist.

“Where is Louis right now?”

“If you mean the Young Count, he said he wasn’t feeling well and went to his room.”

The maid answered politely with her waist bowed in response to the Count’s question.

We hurriedly headed to Louis’s room.

And without even having time to knock on the door, we threw open the door…

“Cough, hack…”

We saw Louis coughing up blood.

“Young Count!”

I hurriedly ran toward Louis. The Count also looked very shocked.

“Young Count, are you alright?”

“R, Rene Sauver… Why are you here…”

Louis glared at me while gasping for breath.

Even in this situation, he’s being hostile. What a stubborn guy.

I hurriedly examined Louis’s body. Then, under his collar, at the nape of his neck, small horns were sprouting.

It was evidence that he was moving into the later stages of Masu Transformation.

So quickly…!

It seemed the progression speed of Masu Transformation differed from person to person.

“Young Count, please lie down first. I’ll help you…”

It was the moment I tried to help Louis lie down comfortably.

Smack-!

That damn Louis fiercely swatted away my hand.

Instantly, Kaisis frowned. Kaisis flinched as if he was about to subdue Louis at any moment.

“I don’t need it…”

Fresh blood continued to flow between Louis’s teeth as he spoke.

This wasn’t the time to be showing off his pride.

“Louis, you’re currently in a state where Masu Transformation is progressing. You need to receive help from Rene.”

Finally, the Count, who couldn’t stand watching anymore, stepped forward.

But Louis didn’t bend his pride until the end. He just kept grumbling and glaring at me.

Honestly, I didn’t want to treat that Louis guy either.

But I couldn’t let Louis become a Demon Beast. When Masu Transformation is completely progressed and one loses their ego, their life ends.

Though I disliked Louis, I didn’t wish for him to die.

I gave up on making Louis lie down and firmly grabbed Louis’s hand.

Then he struggled to move his arm as if to swat away my hand again.

“Kai.”

When I called, Kaisis quickly approached and held Louis’s arm.

So that Louis couldn’t struggle anymore.

“Let go…! Cough…!”

Louis continued to struggle while coughing up blood.

I’m trying to help you, really!

Finally, I raised my hand and slapped Louis’s cheek with a smack!

Louis, whose head turned to the side, widened his eyes as if he couldn’t believe it. The Count also looked at me with a flustered face, seemingly surprised.

“Get a grip. At this rate, you’ll really become a Demon Beast. Are you okay with that?”

“Cough, I…”

Louis bit his lips as if hesitating.

Looking at such Louis, I continued speaking firmly.

“If not, then stop making a fuss. I came here to help the Young Count, not to harm you.”

At my words, Louis gritted his teeth.

He seemed quite resentful about not only being slapped by me but also being scolded.

But without my help right now, Louis would become a Demon Beast. So in the end, he couldn’t say anything and kept his mouth shut.

I grabbed Louis’s hand again.

Fortunately, this time he didn’t struggle. I held Louis’s hand and drew up my magical power.

Then a faint golden light began to flow into Louis’s body.

I closed my eyes and concentrated on treating Louis. Before long, I felt that the magical power in my body was no longer flowing into Louis.

Only then did I open my eyes and look at Louis. His pale face had regained some of its original color.

“It’s done.”

When I let go of his hand, Louis shook off Kaisis’s hand and roughly sat up.

Then he suddenly raised his hand to strike my cheek. If Kaisis hadn’t intervened at that moment, I would have been slapped.

When Kaisis grabbed Louis’s hand and wouldn’t let go, Louis shouted fiercely.

“Let go! How dare someone like you hit my cheek?”

This guy still hasn’t come to his senses.

I glared at Louis, dumbfounded.

“What the hell are you doing right now!”

Then, the Count burst into angry shouts.

“You should be thanking your sister who saved you, yet you’re trying to slap her!”

“But Rene Sauver first…”

“Shut up!”

The Count glared at Louis with a face filled with anger. Then Louis bit his lips as if feeling wronged.

“Louis, you’re confined to your room for the time being. And I think I need to reconsider your Young Count position as well.”

“Father!”

Louis shouted in defiance, but the Count didn’t listen.

“Are you alright, Rene?”

The Count asked me kindly as I was still sitting on the floor.

I nodded and stood up with the Count’s help. Then Louis’s sharp gaze reached me.

“Why does Father always take that guy’s side!”

“Well then. Are you saying I should have taken your side in this situation?”

“Isn’t that natural! That guy dared to slap the cheek of me, the Young Count. So you should rightfully take my side…!”

“You still haven’t come to your senses!”

The Count scolded more fiercely than ever before.

“Rene is the benefactor who saved your life! Yet you’re raising your voice like this over getting slapped because you were making a fuss!”

“But…!”

“Shut up! I don’t want to hear anymore. Confine yourself to your room for the time being!”

The Count immediately took me and left Louis’s room.

Then he ordered the maids to watch carefully so Louis couldn’t leave his room. He even called knights to guard in front of Louis’s door.

Following the Count’s orders, maids and knights stood guard in front of Louis’s door. From inside the room came the continuous sound of things breaking.

I listened to that sound and then turned around.

As I was about to return to the Count’s office with the Count, one maid came looking for me.

“Miss, a letter has arrived from the Marquis Rockwood’s household.”

“From the Marquis’ household?”

I immediately took the letter and tore it open without delay.

The contents of the letter were simple.

[That Iban fellow or whatever his name is has come up to the capital. Since it would have taken quite some time for the messenger butterfly sent by the maid to reach the capital, he’s probably arrived in the capital by now.]

Iban had come to the capital.

I immediately sensed that something big was about to happen. Iban coming to the capital surely had some ulterior motive.

As I was staring at the letter, I heard a crashing sound from far away.

When I looked up, I saw a familiar face running toward me.

“Ah, Lady Sauver! There you are!”

The person who came running toward me, pushing past the maids who tried to stop him, was none other than…

“Derek?”

It was Derek, the mage from the First Princess’s Palace.

When the maids saw me acknowledge Derek, they judged he wasn’t a suspicious person and released their hold on him.

It seemed he had entered the mansion through teleportation, but why so suddenly?

“Derek, why are you suddenly at the Count’s mansion…”

“I had urgent business and couldn’t even get His Majesty’s permission before coming hastily. I apologize for trespassing into the mansion without permission. But I hope you’ll understand my circumstances.”

I nodded. I didn’t know what circumstances he meant, but it seemed I should listen first.

Derek looked at the Count standing beside me and hurriedly greeted him.

“Good day, Count. I had urgent business and came hastily without even contacting you. Please forgive my rudeness.”

“It’s fine.”

When the Count nodded, Derek turned back to me and said.

“More importantly, we don’t have time to be standing around here.”

“What? Suddenly what…”

“I can sense a strong aura of black magic from the Imperial Palace.”

My expression instantly hardened at Derek’s words.

“You can sense an aura of black magic from the Imperial Palace?”

“Yes, it’s an aura I couldn’t sense before, but now I can feel it very clearly.”

Derek was a skilled enough mage to work at the Imperial Palace. If such a Derek sensed an aura of black magic, this must surely be true.

And coincidentally, Iban had also come to the capital.

Then… could it be that Iban went to the Imperial Palace?

“When did you start sensing the aura of black magic?”

“It hasn’t been very long.”

That was fortunate, at least.

“Kai, it seems we need to go to the Imperial Palace.”
