An Assistant to the Angel of Death

44

After the servant called Claude, he immediately rushed to the living room. Just above the stairs of his living room Claude immediately announced his small speech, after he gave attention to all the invited guests.

"Happy attendees, I who am not good at expressing these few words will thank you to those of you who have been present. I hope you can enjoy the party well and establish cooperation with our family."

Claude brandished a glass of his Wine to open a party held to welcome him back into the Marquez family.

"By signifying the opening of this party I'll make a toast to all of you."

Claude drank a glass of red wine given by his servant, to show all the invited guests. As a formal form of opening a party that is in that title.

All those gazes were on Claude, looking at how Claude would toast them so kindly and yet with dignity.

"Let's toast to the Star Lord today." Vischa exclaimed to do the same as Claude to the invited guests.

Everyone followed Vischa's exclamation and bent the glass of red wine that was in their hands.

So far the opening has been pretty smooth after Claude noticed from above. He also made the opportunity to find Duke Lourik.

After he found it he immediately came down the stairs and approached Duke Lourik to have a conversation before the real show was about to begin.

"Mr Duke Lourik?" claude asked as he approached Duke.

"You know me?"

>>>> Previously...

The day before the party at the title.

"Krud, are you sure Duke will stop by at a dessert shop like this. I know this is where the ladies gather to gossip."

Claude is not out of thought with Krud's idea which leads him to visit Dessert's shop.

"Although I can't get close to Duke, I have other ways to show you how your target's face is."

"You're right, I have a plan but I don't know yet how your own target looks. It's clearly shown in the photo of the death letter you just gave me.But I have to know and follow it to find out what he likes."

"You're right, at least you should have a little conversation with him. That's why I brought you here."

"But what with us stalking it like this, won't be a problem for us and the success of our mission?"

"Depends, your vigilance. After all you have no magic so there's no way your existence will be easily known by her."

"Well then you show me where Duke is now."

"It seems that since we chatted earlier that person has come to his favorite seat."

"Where?"

"You see the guy with the long round hat? One lens glasses with gold chains using a clean white coat and light brown hair are rather bright and wavy. And his skin is like a ripe sapodilla."

"You mean the guy with a woman who was eating tarts by the shop's glass?"

"Absolutely. The woman next to him was his older brother Dior, the wife of Duke Lourik."

"But why are their faces so much older than Dior?"

"It's only natural that Dior and his brother are seven years different."

"Krud seems they'll be going somewhere soon.'

"Sure now it's your job to follow him, I'll wait for you here."

"Are you not coming?"

"I'm an Archangel, of course if I were nearby he would feel the aura of an angel around him and probably would immediately seek and capture me."

"Since our mission in the capital you just quibble and complain about your power that can make your identity exposed."

>>> Present

"It's not hard to find Duke with Duke's signature hat and glasses."

"Huh, you're so good at conversing compared to your pretty lousy father."

"Thank you for the compliment, sir."

"By the way, you look a lot like Vischa, in contrast to Carpel and your other siblings they look like Lady Gracia."

"really?'

"true."

"Thank you again for the compliment. Do you want to eat a strawberry tart?"

"Hahaha, you seem to know how to please others."

"It's an honor for me to make you laugh"

Claude called one of the servants and told him to get a piece of the Duke's favorite strawberry tart.

"No, no, I'm honored at the first greeting by today's stars."

"Then I'll go greet the other invited guests. Excuse me, sir."

"Yes please."

Claude successfully conversing briefly with the Duke for the next was the second objective to search for Lyon which Claude had personally invited to take advantage of this moment of digging up more information about the Gran Duke Jacques.

It took quite a long time to find Lyon because he is the type of person who likes solitude. Maybe it was because of some things he had to think about lately.

Claude continued to search for Lyon until almost the deadline he had set for the next step, but the guests who had come and went to greet Claude were endless. Claude found Lyon on the balcony looking out

Luckily this one balcony is quite quiet, so Claude can talk about his conversation with Lyon but must be known by others.

"Are you Lyon?"

Claude asked making sure the person before him was Lyon his comrade-in-arms. I was in the battlefield a while ago.

"Sir Counselor ?" Lyon called Claude the same as the call while on the border of the battlefield.

"You don't have to call me by that call anymore here. You can call my name Claude."

"No, Mr. Baron Marquez.. Maybe this is more appropriate, right?"

"Free what you want to call me, what matters is one thing. I have something to tell you."

"What?"

"Did your brother come today?"

"Of course not I whose own sister felt the same . Lately my brother's been in his lab a lot more.

The reason is because the king ordered a lot of elixir that my brother had previously done, but there is no denying that the cuisine can captivate the king's tongue.

In addition to its delicious taste and as a medicine that contains some healthful herbs. My brother didn't even welcome me. For him I am only a burden

That is why on the day Prince Garg and his army I also participated in the members of his army. From there I learned how appropriate and effective strategies to fight."

"So what about your brother's invention?"

"I can't tell you more about his research, because even the waiter doesn't know what big brother is doing.

so that I myself am less sure of my guess."
