An Assistant to the Angel of Death

48

The next day the news of the murder that happened to the duke spread quickly. It even made a stir of the entire population of the kingdom. News of the assault and murder that left Duke dead naked.

Early in the morning at the residence, baron Marquez. Claude, who had just woken up from his sleep, was already awakened by the noise of the servants gossiping about the news about Duke Lourik's death.

“I beg you all to come out of my room if you still gossip about it.”

Claude who was fast asleep with messy hair was angry, because he felt his sleep must be disturbed by the gossip of the servants. “But the young master must wake up immediately everything is waiting for you at the dining table.” The servants who helped Claude prepare turned to advise Claude to get out of bed immediately.

“You don't know? The mattress is where the strongest gravity is. So you guys have to pull me out.” As Claude spoke, the servants pulled Claude out of bed.

Because the pull they did was too strong, Claude was shocked to not expect a servant so strong enough to pull his body. Finally Claude's body landed on the cold floor.

“Do you often practice martial arts?” Claude was so horrified by the strength of those servants.

“I, that's because the master just woke up and most people are so awake they have a lot of gaps.”

“So so.”

“Then you guys go first I will prepare by myself.”

“Good, Mr.”

The servants followed Claude's orders to leave Claude's room. To let Claude prepare himself without being helped by those servants.

“You are so weak that you can fall down so silly like that by the maids.” Krud suddenly appears on Claude's bed.

“You seem to be very relaxed huh Krud.” Claude was annoyed with Krud laughing at Claude when he saw him fall like a silly person like that.

“You heard the rumors? Although they did not see who killed the duke but they were investigating further about the duke's death.”

“I've heard. The servants were busy gossiping instead, rather than helping their Master to wake up.”

“That's because they feel sorry for you. Didn't you just stay here a week. Of course they are still a little awkward or doubtful to you who is the most respected person in the entire kingdom even with the lowest noble status though.”

“Save your bullshit, Krud. Then what are they investigating from Duke's death?”

“They found a cake knife stuck in Duke's heart. Now maybe soon this residence will be visited by the royal police.”

Claude stood up and immediately grabbed the clothes the servants had prepared.”Ck, troublesome. Definitely the first accusation will be addressed nails or Carpel.” While putting his clothes on Claude showed his lazy face.

“Isn't it your purpose to slander carpel who committed murder on Duke.”

Claude buttoned his shirt neatly. Although in fact he was not so used to using his noble clothes. He was more accustomed to the ordinary clothes he used daily during Military Camp.

“I thought so, but after they made a mess in the middle of the party. Carpel and Carsten were taken directly by marquis Laurent and put on trial at the time for alleged offences of making guests feel threatened and using magic while at parties. Of course Carpel will be free of the charges as he was watched overnight until the party was finished.”

“So what's your next plan?” Krud asked out of curiosity what Claide would do next to address the charges of the royal police, over the cake knife that pierced Duke Lourik's heart.

“First of all after meals Together with the garbage that is below. Maybe I'll come to Duke's funeral. Then to deal with the royal police maybe I can, using my status as the star of the party. But it was quite difficult because I left the party too soon for reasons of not feeling well, but it seems like they will use this matter to urge me. So there's only one other way.”

After he finished preparing, Claude stepped in to open his door to go out to breakfast with his family.

“So what's one way it?” Krud was always curious about the great ideas that came out of Claude's head.

“This time I will keep my plans a secret for you. Isn't that day we've been following the duke all day?”

“You see that? Duke really likes sweet-sweet food.”

“I think it's because the Duchess likes it, right?” Claude disagreed with Krud's opinion that Duke was so voraciously eating sweet foods.

“I think quite the opposite, the duke liked the sweet food but he was embarrassed so took the Duchess with him to cover it up.” Krud grinned for a strong reason that could break Claude.”'s opinion

“It looks like this time you won after I saw it well it was like that.”

Claude sipped his tea slowly, like a real noble. Although he had just learned that from Krud. This time Claude admitted his defeat to Krud. For reasons of improper analysis.

“Claude, looks like Duke will be leaving soon. Let's follow him! We should get as much information about him as possible.”

“I agree with you, but are we disguised like this not too conspicuous?” Claude saw everyone watching them so much. Whether it was out of fascination with the good looks of Krud and Claude or because they looked strange in the eyes of others who saw them.

“but why is your face like that.”

Claude's face could not be lied to, he was very upset because the idea of disguise carried out by Krud was a gossip of others who saw them. The problem with their disguise is that they use

the clothes were conspicuous with the tattered clothes of a tramp but they behaved like a noble in the cafe.

After following the duke for a full day they finally discovered the duke's glaring weakness, and what magic he possessed.

“Magic Duke is truly a unique magic. How can a copycat magic like you be done by Duke?”

“I don't know, but it looks like it's one of those tokens. That means you know the weakness of magic isn't it?”

“True, the magic that is used to imitate is more drained compared to the magic that is issued and the time lag to imitate it is quite a lot when it will take it out. One more thing, the magic imitated will also be slightly different from the original. But it seems that to rise to the top, the duke has already done so many achievements. We have to check the other stuff again.”
