An Assistant to the Angel of Death

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

"Master! master's horse carriage we have prepared. You can return to the master's residence." Tixier Fenrir was the one who told Claude a lot about the royal palace.

However Tixier himself was no more just a minor noble just like Claude. Although his family status was slightly higher than Claude, but did not rule out the possibility, that he was someone from a poor village.

Claude immediately rushed out of his room, from the very night he had already cleaned up his clothes and some of his luggage.

Once out of the palace, the carriage was already waiting by me right under the stairs of the west Palace door. Claude walked down the stairs gallantly, Claude found a little Tixier's face that hated Claude so much.

Not like before that was so friendly. Tixier was most likely dismayed to learn that Claude was a noble far below him, but received respect from him and several other great nobles including the kingdom.

As soon as he got to the door of the carriage, the servants immediately stored Claude's belongings inside. But before Claude boarded his chariot there was something he seemed to have to do before he left.

Claude held onto Tixier's left shoulder with his left hand, then whispered slowly in Tixier's ear. "Sorry, I didn't mean to cheat. But now it seems that destiny has changed. You and your family will be under my feet."

After saying such sharp words it struck Tixier's heart. He actually became very upset with Claude's behavior of daring to say such a thing to his higher status nobles.

Claude entered the chariot and left Tixier in the western palace. Without saying goodbye.

"Let's see, all the assets and control of Marquez's baron family are in my hands. Of course I can make you and your family ruined."

Said Tixier who was so upset since the title attempt was completed. It was finally revealed that Claude was from Baron Marquez.

Claude smiled happily at Tixier's annoyed face. It was very desirable for Claude to occasionally do that to his half-brother Carpel whom he had not met for a long time now.

Even the most awaited figure by Claude is the smile and soft voice of Ren. Maybe she was an old virgin.

But Claude hopes that Ren has found his true love and has a happier life compared to being a servant of a poor family like Baron Marquez.

In a moment, Claude's chariot came out of the palace and entered the capital, suddenly in front of his chair appeared a familiar figure to Claude as he passed through the final gate of the palace in a flash of dark shadow in an instant.

Krud pointed his scythe at Claude's neck. "Krud do you want to look cool again in front of me?" Casually Claude was not at all surprised by Krud's sudden presence.

"This is a very boring reaction." Krud complained that his jokes did not get a good response from Claude.

"Krud stop what if we talk about more important things."

"You are always serious, we should always be filled with a simple joke so that our lives are not too boring."

"What information is there?"

"So I just visited your family's residence in this capital, I saw your father and step-brother who seemed to hate you the most..Well, if it's not wrong, it's a cat..?"

"Carpel???"

I think he's jealous of your success this time, so what will you do to avenge your brother?"

"You don't need to know Krud I just want to do it myself, although this is a little troublesome but Carpel's brain which is not half that of a frog's brain is unlikely to be able to fight me this time."

"Although his brain is as stupid as you used to be but I think his magic is a little beyond reason for a Baron-level family like him."

"Don't you say it yourself, that my father was a Garten knight before. Of course he might as well inherit the same magic.

In addition, my father used to be a count before he dropped his noble rank because his magic suddenly disappeared."

"Surely the magic didn't weaken just like that. There must be another cause that makes it so. Isn't that right, Claude?"

Krud glanced sharply at Claude, as the only person who could absorb mana's magic was only Claude inside his house.

"Ahaha, it seems that I was not aware of it before. I knew that I knew it after meeting you.

Anyway it seems like it's her fault, because my pendant won't respond when I'm not in a threatened position."

"Even if you have a little point, but the locket now not only protects you, but it can be your most valuable strength, right?"

"You're right! My mother loved me so much, even with her pendant alone, my life could turn out like this."

"But there seems to be one thing you missed."

"What?"

"This locket is also your demon soul seal. If you continue to scrape this pendant by making it into your various means of protection, maybe one day the pendant will lose its power.

And your demon soul will come out completely. Don't you remember what happened on the battlefield?"

Claude fell silent. Although he does not remember how the end of events he was able to kill the witches and also Prince Zachary who has the magic of the god.

But the flash in his memory, he was a little aware that the one who did it was him when without realizing it a force flowed profusely in his body.

"If my demon soul doesn't come out then, will it be possible that I will fail the mission?"

"I don't know how your demon soul was able to come out almost completely like that. Even when I arrived, your demon soul had already disappeared from your body. that's why I wanted to find out from your mouth directly.

even if you don't remember it right, but I'm sure you remember a little bit how you killed those witches, right?"

"You're right. I remember it a little, but I don't think there's anything important to talk to you right now."

"Hey, did you forget? I am the one who watches over you, if anything that happens to you, especially with regard to the resurrection of your demon soul, it is my responsibility. If the thing that at the time of the war was happening in the capital was also possible I would have imprisoned you in Everfreez for a long time."
