Invicinble Colorless Butler

Chapter 44 - 7



Duke Hazell\'s mansion, which was previously full of damage, was currently being repaired bit by bit. Duke Hazell ordered his subordinates to immediately clean up the corpses of the intruders and the magic damage from their battle. Especially in front of his residence, many small craters and fires were burning here and there.

Duke Hazell, who gave the order, was currently sitting inside his study room. With him are his wife Eleanor and the magic teacher of his daughter, Beatrix Artvika. Right now they were sitting down to talk about the problems that had happened before.

"Duke Hazell, what exactly happened? Why are there so many master-level assassins even Grandmaster attacking your mansion." Beatrix immediately asked Duke Hazell the crux of the matter with a serious face.

"Haah... I didn\'t know things would end like this either.. No, to be more precise, it\'s not over yet." Duke Hazell sighed heavily and leaned back in his chair.

"Honey, wouldn\'t it be better if we told Beatrix about this?" Eleanor\'s face looks worried seeing her husband like that.

"Yes honey, I think so too." Duke Hazell then straightened his back and looked at Beatrix.

"This started a few months ago when I met King Jonathan..." Duke Hazell began to recount the chronology of the problem.

A few months ago the king of the Neigal Kingdom, Jonathan Neigal who is also Duke Hazell\'s superior summoned him to the castle. He had a one-on-one conversation with the king. He explained a matter that King Jonathan wanted him to deal with. Why was this handed over to Duke Hazell? The city that is currently under its jurisdiction is Moissan City which is also the capital of the Neigal Kingdom. And the city closest to Moissan city is Dugald city. Although not as advanced as Moissan City, Dugald City is a city with good management.

But that\'s just the skin. The man who runs Dugald City right now is Marquis Jacobe Remington. He is indicated to increase taxes at will without the king\'s approval. In addition, he is also suspected of human trafficking. But the king still had no proof. The king suspects that marquis Jacobe is collaborating with a large criminal organization, and he is also indicated for other crimes. Like murder and human experiments.

The king has sent spies to look for evidence of Marquis Jacobe\'s involvement with all these crimes. But they all disappeared and never came back. And Duke Hazell was asked to find out the evidence through an inter-leadership approach. Duke Hazell frequently visited the Dugald city for business and political reasons. But it seems that Marquis Jacobe has suspected him since the first time they met.

Duke Hazell continued to search for evidence of Marquis Jacobe\'s involvement for quite a long time until he finally found a bright spot. He discovers what criminal organization marquis Jacobe is collaborating with and what its true purpose is.

Marquis Jacobe cooperates with the criminal organization \'Dark Legacy\' which is indicated to commit crimes of human experiment and murder. And the goal of Marquis Jacobe is money and power. \'Dark Legacy\' will help Marquis Jacobe get what he wants. But he has to help \'Dark Legacy\' provide people for human experiments.

Even if you know that. Duke Hazell still hasn\'t got any definitive evidence to prove Marquis Jacobe\'s crimes. But before getting that evidence, Marquis Jacobe already knew that his crimes had been exposed by Duke Hazell. Then he asked \'Dark Legacy\' to kill Duke Hazell immediately. That is the origin of this incident.

"That\'s how it is, since then I\'ve always been targeted by the assassins of the \'Dark Legacy\'. I\'ve also reported this to His Majesty. But it\'s hard to predict when the \'Dark Legacy\' will move. And there\'s still no definite evidence." Duke Hazell sighed heavily and his face darkened.

"This is getting more and more dangerous. The criminal organization \'Dark Legacy\' is a dangerous organization that contains strong people. They must have people with power on par with me or maybe on the level of a Sage." After hearing what Duke Hazell had to say, Beatrix\'s expression become serious.

"Yes, I understand. That\'s why I don\'t know what to do right now. It\'s not just me being targeted, but my entire family!" Duke Hazell gritted his teeth in anger.

"Calm down, honey. We\'ll be able to sort this out." Eleanor held Duke Hazell\'s hand to calm him down

"Yes...thank you, honey. I am feeling better. I will also report this attack to His Majesty." Duke Hazell sighed softly and took his wife\'s hand back. Their previously gloomy atmosphere turned into a romantic one.

"Ahem...then how about Clara?" Beatrix immediately cut off their romantic moment.

"Hehehe...I\'m sorry. I got too carried away. Clara\'s condition is fine. Even better than we thought." Eleanor answered Beatrix while laughing shyly.

"Yeah, luckily Ken was there. Otherwise, I can\'t imagine what would have happened to Clara." Duke Hazell\'s face suddenly turned gloomy again.

"Duke Hazell, what is the origin of Clara\'s new butler? His family or where he lived before?" Beatrix is ​​still curious about the feelings she felt when she first met Ziel. And that suspicion grew stronger after the incident at Duke Hazell\'s mansion. So she must know Ziel\'s true origin and purpose.

"He was the one who saved me when I was attacked by assassins from \'Dark Legacy\' in the middle of the forest. He told me that he lives in a village on the outskirts of the forest and his family is the former servant of certain noble. That\'s all I know." Duke Hazell explains where he met Ziel and his background that he knows.

"Hmm...isn\'t this weird? Do you know how strong the assassin that attacked you was?" Beatrix thought as she rubbed his small lips. The movement looks very sexy.

"I think their strength is at the level of a master." He recalled when he and his party were attacked by a group of assassins in black.

"And how strong Clara\'s new butler?" Beatrix kept asking Duke Hazell question after question.

"He\'s just a senior knight and he showed it right in front of me and Raven. You can ask him later. Ahh, and he said he was able to defeat them because he used a single-use magic tool that temporarily doubled his power." Duke Hazell re-explained what had happened back then.

"So he used a disposable magic tool just to help you? Isn\'t this weird for you?" Beatrix finally shows his suspicions on Ziel.

"I thought so at first. But I have a feeling I can trust him. And if he wants to do evil to us. He\'s done it from the start and wouldn\'t bother to help Clara." Duke Hazell smiled broadly, looking like he trusted Ziel a lot.

"But if you think about it..." Beatrix tried to convince Duke Hazell of her suspicions but stopped mid-sentence.

"Beatrix..." Eleanor shook her head at Beatrix. She signaled to stop the conversation. Beatrix who saw it understood what she meant.

"Haaah... Alright, let\'s hope everything will be fine." Beatrix couldn\'t help but smile bitterly and don\'t discuss the matter any further.

Beatrix\'s spine suddenly shivered and she looked around Duke Hazell\'s study room like a fidget. Sweat dripped from her forehead.

"Beatrix, what\'s wrong?" Seeing her friend suddenly agitated made Eleanor worried.

"No...nothing." Beatrix stammered because earlier she had sensed someone was watching them in the room and was exerting tremendous pressure.

***

Ziel who was sleeping on his bed opened his eyes. He got up from his bed and put on a robe to cover his body. Then he took the mask from his storage space.

"If this matter drags on. I will never find peace in this place. Tonight I will clean it all at once. Troublesome..." Ziel sighed, he made his clone sleep on the bed in his stead. To prevent the possibility of someone suddenly entering his room and knowing he wasn\'t there. Then he put on the mask he was holding in his hand and disappeared from the room.
