An Assistant to the Angel of Death

"Is this not excessive?"

Claude looked at the many fine foods on his dining table.

"I'm hosting dinner with you specifically, because it doesn't seem like I need to talk about it anymore. I will throw you a welcoming party that has returned from the war with a victory.

Don't get me wrong, I'm doing this also just using you to increase the relations of the rich nobles who want to cooperate with our families.'

"Thank you for the meal you prepared. This is the first time my father has given me food properly."

Claude's insinuations did not shake Vischa's heart. Actually Claude doesn't know what happened to Vischa who was so hard-hearted about his own son."

"It's appropriate that you thank your father, and even Carpel and Lady Gracia can't eat at the same dinner table as us."

Vischa seems to make herself look very attentive to Claude, but in fact what does she care about it. Maybe after the banquet given by Visca Carpel will come and make the act again.

"Isn't it unfair that you want to benefit from me while I lose?" Claude began to brave himself to oppose Vischa.

"What do you mean?" Vishka stopped enjoying the food.

"Well, I'm just asking for a little payment."

"What do you want?"

"Are you really going to grant my request?" Claude underestimated Vischa.

"Sure, as long as it doesn't exceed my limits." Vischa continued to enjoy the food.

"I'm just gonna ask you one question, are you gonna answer me honestly?" Claude made sure that Vischa would answer him honestly.

"Well, what are you asking?" Vischa didn't care what Claude was asking, as he suspected it would be related to his mother.

"Who are you really?" claide's sudden questioning made Visca slightly choke on her food

Vischa drinks his drink. Then said snarl Claude. "Whatchu mean? of course I'm your father." The answer Claude had expected came out of Vischa's mouth.

"Not about that. It's about a knight from Garten."

"Where do you know that." Lady Gracia suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"It doesn't matter where I find out, but I don't think. You eavesdropped on my conversation with Dad." Claude calmly finished his dinner, then drank a mouthful of water and wiped his lips very elegantly like a high class noble.

"Claude you can't do that to your stepmother." Vischa gave a sharp look at Claude.

"Well, if you don't want to be honest with me. Then I won't be attending that party you made. Bye bye!" Claude pushed his chair and stood up to leave the table.

"Wait on! I'll answer."

"You!" Lady Gracia was so angry when Vischa was about to tell about her.

"I. i. is.."

"DADDY!!! How come you're giving a host and throwing a party for that useless kid!" Carpel suddenly came and shouted at Vischa.

"There's still a thousand years faster you can kill me with that steak knife." Claude threw out Carpel's hand so hard that the knife was thrown into the corner of the room.

Claude's sharp gaze made Carpel slightly shudder in fear, but convincing himself that Claude was Claude was no different from the old Claude.

"You! I know you used a sneaky way to win that war. You don't even have any magic." Tukas Carpel. while grasping his sore wrist exposed Claude's grip so strong.

"Hehe, you're right. If I hadn't used a cunning way like you, I might have been useless forever like you."

Claude laughed disdainfully at Carpel. With a very annoying tone to Carpel who heard it.

As he walked away from the dining room, Claude said a very sharp sentence.

"Even if you are powerful noble magicians even if it means nothing if you are dealing with me."

Carpel grew emotional with Claude's words. He was determined to avenge the actions done by Claude.

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

The night had arrived everyone who was in Marquez's residence was resting, except for a few guards who were still on guard.

Carpel invites his younger brother Carsten to kill Claude while asleep. They sneak up on the night by tricking all the guards into Claude's rest room.

"Hey what are you doing?"

Claude suddenly appeared behind the two of them. They turned around and saw Claude in the dark hallway. Although it is not very clear who caught their wet, but Carpel very well know the blue eyes like diamonds who the owner is.

"Claude! You!" Shouted Carpel in shock and shuddered in fear with the aura emitted by Claude. So he tried to step back to get away from Claude, and he accidentally fell by himself.

"Sister!? you all right?" carsten said and helped Carpel to stand up.

"How can you do this to brother?" Carsten was angry at Claude, for suspecting that Claude was the one who pushed him.

"You're accusing me of pushing the man who fell for his carelessness? You better not bother to kill me by sneaking around like this. Because this is too childish."

Claude left the two brothers behind.The dark passageway, with a cold and powerful domineering aura.

"Claude, we will repay you a hundred times this humiliation." Carsten did not give up on Carpel.

"I wait for your revenge, if you don't succeed I'll punish you a thousand times what you did."

Claude went into his room and locked the door.

Carpel and Carsten were deeply insulted by Claude's words. His emotions were rising unbearably anymore. Carpel almost wanted to use his magic to make Claude wretch.

Carsten told Carpel to be patient. "Sister, patience is soon the man's welcome party. If we manage to embarrass him, maybe he'll lose his face forever.

At that time he couldn't possibly be this arrogant. He'll be a useless man again."

Carsten's words have a point according to Carpel. He still had plenty of time to spawn how he could bring down the current Claude.

"Claude you wait for my revenge, you can have fun now but you won't be able to have fun again forever." With complete confidence, Carpel was confident he could take down Claude.
