An Assistant to the Angel of Death

"I felt the same way, too, and had become like his best friend at the time, but Themis I mean Themir would have preferred his family's good name to be cleared." Claude defends Fermilion.

"What Mr. Counselor said is correct. Maybe someday I'll come visit his residence or invite him to visit our residence." Lyon were limp, a little disappointed with Krud's decision which was unfair to him.

"How about after this I'll treat you to some beer at the famous tavern in the capital?" Cervus took the initiative to treat them to a few beers for a little fun.

"You guys go first I have to clear up some business first." Lyon left the pack of tough men.

"Alright, don't you think too much about Mr. Alger he's more pleased with the welfare of his family that the King gives." Shouted Cervus at Lyon who left them just like that.

"Well, how else. Although Grand Duke Jacques was not very interested in politics and plunged into battle, but his role in leading the Jawura family was huge." Dior.

"What kind of person is Grand Duke Jacques?" Claude pretended to ask to take the opportunity to get information about his target.

"What if we continue while we drink?" Cervus interrupts Claude's conversation with Dior.

"You're right, I'm already impatient with the treat of the richest man in the entire capital. Who else if not Count Mammon's family." Eden locked his hand on Cervus' neck while rubbing Cervus' head with his left hand until Cervus' hair fell apart.

Everyone laughed excitedly waiting for their casual talk after these few days they were busy in their respective residences.

But one thing that is very dear, on this occasion Claude could not get direct information about the Grand Duke Jacques directly from Lyon's own mouth.

...****************...

All the venerable generals were already staggered intoxicated with the few bottles they had drunk. Luckily they ordered a special place so that no one saw the original behavior of a general who won the war on the border of Tarten.

"So you were going to tell me about Grand Duke Jacques right?" Claude pretended to be drunk to not look suspicious in the eyes of the other generals.

"Hahaha, do you remember that conversation?" Cervus staggered and laughed indistinctly as he was heavily drunk.

"You know, the Grand Duke Jacques family was the sister family of the previous King. His magic was very powerful, but not as powerful as the King. It's because Grand Duke Jacques has a curse." While drunk, Dior told him what he remembered.

"What curse?" Claude tried to investigate even deeper, perhaps the experiment Krud said was related to the curse.

"I don't know just the royal man and his own family. The curse was only passed down to the head of their family alone" Dior fell asleep after talking about it. Likewise with others who have fallen asleep due to drinking alcoholic beverages.

One important point Claude managed to get. It turns out that in the kingdom of Greenbreez not only Claude who got a curse. If the curse was only the Royal family and the Grand Duke Jacques Family. It did not rule out the possibility that their subordinates could also find out what curse the heads of the Gran Duke Jacques family received.

Claude immediately wrote a letter with a piece of paper, to their death. Because Claude could not sit idly by, considering that his welcoming party was so close and he had absolutely no thorough preparation for this additional task.

After writing a letter on the table. Claude left them all, without saying goodbye first, because he had to check something somewhere.

Not only that Claude immediately turned around and turned back the person who did that to him.

"Hey, Hey! It's me Krudzrail the Archangel of Death comes to visit his men." Heavy Krud's voice resuscitated Claude who was washed away when he seemed to be attacked by a great force.

"You! Can you come in a little good way." Claude was upset by Krud's behavior which was always arbitrary.

"I think this way is really cool, don't you?" Krud smiled cunningly as if getting something big and very profitable himself.

"What's wrong? you seem pretty happy today." Claude squinted his eyes at the suspicious looking Krud.

"Hehe, regarding the Grand Duke Jacques, it turns out that Lyon is the younger brother of the Grand Duke Jacques." Krud said what Claude knew so soon he was neither too happy nor too surprised to hear.

"Hey, why aren't you surprised?" Krud didn't know Claude knew it first.

"I already know! You're an underworked angel of death, aren't you? Where's your scythe? You better work hard there!" Claude was annoyed that Krud came to give only information that he had previously known.

"Hey, wait a minute there's more I have to tell you."

"What!?" With the look and look of Claude's face. Krud did not want to be considered a leisure angel or an angel of unemployment because it was the greatest insult of angels who would be busy with their work every day.

"Duke Lourik! He's General Dior's brother-in-law."

"Dior?"

"Right, Dior's older sister married Duke a few years ago. Dior who was supposed to be the head of the emeraldgreen family was the strongest Grand Duke family at the time.

but the descendants of the Emeraldgreen Scout do not have as strong a magic as him. Whether it's Elena Emeraldgreen or Dior Emeraldgreen. Both have no magic.

But when Scout Emeraldgreen married a woman in a brothel, his son had enough magic, so Dior was banished to the border by his family.

Even so the Emeraldgreen Family is now just a regular Count family, because some lately the family's rays have dimmed.

Because the status of Joshen Emeraldgreen who came from the mother of the brothel was known by many people, so people were a little reluctant to this family.

Lucky Elena Emeraldgreen can marry Duke Lourik, who is a well-respected family in the area where you live."

"If I kill General Dior's brother-in-law, will he hate me if he finds out?" Claude was weighing the possibility that happened in the future if one day he made a little mistake.
