32. You’re not going to get married······ right?

As a result of interrogating several soldiers with the butler, I was able to understand the whole story of the incident to some extent.

It didn’t take long either. It’s all thanks to the chief butler.

“That’s really all there is! Please believe me!”

In the process, Johann learned about the butler’s skills. Severely, cruelly.

To break a finger in the blink of an eye, the instantaneous speed was incredible.

‘An assassin or something?’

“Who is behind this?”

“That’s······.”

The soldier rolled his eyes back and forth. Looking at the superiors was the fate of the lowest ranks.

The butler smiled grimly.

“Well, it’s obvious. Did Lady Rose-El tell you to do it?”

“······!”

The soldier’s eyes widened. With that alone, the butler and Johann realized the truth.

Actually, it was just a shot in the dark, but the butler’s atmosphere was so grim. It seemed too genuine.

“Lady Rose-El is······.”

“She is a lady with golden hair. The wizard must have seen her too.”

‘That’s the woman who groped my thigh earlier!’

She looked like a woman in her mid-20s, and her voluptuous figure was sensual.

“The lady is well past her marriageable age. She must be in a hurry. But this is crossing the line.”

This was the first time Johann had encountered such a case, so he had no choice but to seek advice from the butler.

“What do I do in this case? I don’t know much about the physiology of nobles.”

Since Johann was actually known as a math wizard, the butler did not have any major doubts.

“That’s up to Johann. Usually, it ends with confinement······.”

He trailed off. It might be different for an ordinary commoner, but this is Johann, who shows the potential of a great wizard.

Naturally, the level of discipline should also be heavier.

“Um, then I will issue confinement as a disciplinary measure.”

“Yes. I understand.”

The butler was secretly relieved. Fortunately, the wizard was not yet authoritarian.

He didn’t know what would happen as the number of spells he possessed increased and time passed, but his nature was still gentle.

Although Johann was evaluated as an impersonal person in modern times, he belonged to the good side in the Middle Ages.

“If you are resting in the room, I will go and pick up the Master and Sarah.”

“Yes. Let’s do that.”

There is nothing more Johann can do anyway. Fortunately, it seems that the incident has been settled, so he decided to leave.

He jumped straight into bed. Thanks to using the spell, it was as comfortable as in modern times.

“Hoo!”

‘There’s never a quiet day. Tsk.’

How long had he been waiting, when Jackson and Sarah came in with a bang!

“Haha! Were you waiting!”

“Yes······.”

Johann watched Jackson. The other person seemed to be in a good mood.

Only then could he breathe a sigh of relief.

‘There must be injured or dead soldiers······.’

Strictly speaking, the lady was at fault first.

However, it is also a clear truth that Sarah damaged Jackson’s property (soldiers)!

Johann’s heart was burning without him knowing.

“The agreement with Sarah has been settled amicably. You can rest assured.”

“Haha, that’s a relief.”

He just let out an awkward smile. The uncomfortable topic of conversation quickly passed.

It was for a smooth relationship.

“Then, I’ll leave you here. I hope you have a good time.”

Bang! The knight disappeared, closing the door cheerfully. Was it a delusion, but it seemed like he was running away.

“······.”

“······.”

A room left with just the two of them. It was even more awkward because there were no servants who were always present.

Johann thought about going to the butler for training.

Then, Sarah opened her mouth first.

“The servants won’t be living in the room anymore.”

“Yes?”

“Privacy must be respected. I’ve finished talking with Jackson.”

“······.”

Johann didn’t know what to say, so he just remained silent.

As if she understood that, she opened her mouth in a cautious voice.

“Johann. I’m sorry. I caused a sudden action······.”

“No, no. It’s okay. It was also the lady’s scheme, and they threw the first stone.”

At those words, Sarah’s expression brightened.

“Thank you. For forgiving me.”

“No, it’s not even something to forgive in the first place······.”

“As I continue to regress, my social skills are a bit lacking. I’ll try harder in the future.”

“······Okay. But, it’s really okay.”

The conversation seemed to be repeating, so Johann secretly sighed and agreed.

Immediately after, she said as if it was nothing. She looks slightly to the side and sweeps her hair back with her hand.

“By the way, you’re not going to get married, right? Because you have to climb the tower.”

Johann reflexively looked at her. He didn’t know why, but she avoided his gaze.

When he didn’t answer, Sarah’s atmosphere changed.

“Johann?”

“······Yes?”

“Are you going to do it? Get. Married.”

Cold sweat ran down his back. Did someone use the angry wave spell?

Johann answered quickly. It seemed like something terrible would happen if he was even a little late.

“Haha! I have to climb the tower, so how dare I······.”

“You’re saying you won’t do it?”

“Yes.”

“Okay. Then.”

Hoo······. Only then did the pressure disappear. Surely Johann’s stats are higher, but what is this momentum?

‘Is it because of the characteristic? I don’t know.’

“But, what exactly did the soldier say? I’m not trying to say anything, I’m just curious.”

“······That’s.”

Johann calmly waited for her words. However, Sarah didn’t open her mouth at all.

Rather, she was saying words that were out of context.

“Let’s talk about it next time, and let’s just sleep for now?”

“It’s still bright······.”

“Shall we sleep?”

Bulge!

“······Yes.”

At Johann’s answer, she immediately turned off the lights. He immediately closes his eyes and breathes evenly.

Soon her breathing tempo became constant. Abnormally fast.

Snore, hoo.

“······.”

Johann was speechless. He sighed and went outside.

‘I should practice spells.’

It seems like she wants to be alone, so he decided to grant her wish.

He had no intention of waking someone who was pretending to sleep.

‘Should I learn spells related to interpersonal combat this time? I don’t know what kind of magic book there is.’

When he was alone with the butler earlier, he had promised to give him a new magic book.

He had confirmed Johann’s talent, so he said he would carefully select and prepare the magic book. Johann left the room with expectations.

Honestly, his heart was pounding.

‘I’m looking forward to it.’

He was a novice wizard who had just tasted magic, and at the same time, he was a monster who handled great spells.

As someone who had tasted the power of the angry wave spell, he was drooling at the butler’s suggestion.

***

A dazzling chandelier boasts elegant light.

Under that light, two knights in full armor were kneeling on one knee.

Their heads are on the ground, and their ears are perked up. It is to receive orders without making eye contact with the owner.

The man who was looking down at them said. His attire was very sophisticated, but his face was shadowed and could not be seen.

“A great spell? Is that really certain?”

“Yes! It’s still very lacking, but he was able to get his feet wet.”

“······Huh! Didn’t you say he was a novice wizard? And from arithmetic?”

“That’s right.”

The man flicked his fingers as if he didn’t understand.

“So, a novice wizard from arithmetic······. Used a great spell? Is that what you mean now?”

Perhaps sensing the owner’s feelings, the knight bowed his head further.

“That’s right.”

“······.”

The man let out a faint sigh. A younger brother who is as strong as a wild boar.

He doesn’t know where he saw it, but one day he brought a wizard.

‘I thought he would only waste money, but the goddess’s coin is following him!’

Raising a wizard is not an easy task. Their bodies are weak and they die easily, and their personalities become more and more bizarre as they learn spells.

It was strange that they didn’t go crazy since they handled so many elements with human bodies.

“Haa······. I can’t help it. I thought it wasn’t time yet······.”

“Kill him?”

“Do so.”

“I will have it taken care of by tomorrow.”

One person’s life and death was handled very quickly. It was the fear of power.

Immediately after, a loud vibration was heard from afar. He didn’t know why, but thanks to that, the chandelier swayed slightly.

In response, the shadow that covered the man’s face was lifted.

Surprisingly, it was very similar to Jackson’s features. You could believe they were brothers.

“I want to be alone. You can all rest now.”

“”I understand.””

Clank.

The two knights quietly closed the door. The heavy footsteps of the two superhumans slowly faded away.

The man who was left alone sighed bitterly. For some reason, he wanted to see his father, who was lying in bed.

Would the situation have been a little different if his father had been conscious?

“Did you covet the position of head of the family that much? Enough to shed the blood of brothers?”

A younger brother who was clumsy and had a strong desire to win from a young age.

His younger brother’s ambition was so big and clear that he could feel it from a young age.

If only he had listened to the advice of his retainers and cut off the bud in advance······.

“I’m sorry. Jackson.”

Family play ends here. The days of laughing and sharing toys are now in the past.

The brothers took up swords against each other, and unlike when they were young, the older brother had no intention of letting his younger brother off.

It’s time to take off the mask of kindness and put on the skin of the family head.
