An Assistant to the Angel of Death
43

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

"All right what I said? They came to kill you."

Krud sat down with his hands crossed. His haughty voice had long since Claude had not heard during his time in the palace.

"You know they're gonna kill me because you're an angel." Claude doesn't like the haughty Krud just because he's a little bit right guessing what's going to happen to Carpel and Carsten.

"You should know it's going to happen, right?"

"I asked you one thing. Can Carpel and Carsten see you?"

While cleaning his belongings, after the lights were turned on it turned out that his room was quite large compared to his old room.

Famous painting figurines neatly lined the walls, fairly large cabinets and simple mattresses yet comfortable and padded enough to use the bed were really neat.

Unlike the room that used to be, it could be said that the room that used to be more suitable to be a rat nest. Unlike now who seems to have treated Vischa with a little special.

"Looks not, I'm sure ninety percent of them can't see me." Krud was confident that he could not be seen by weak witches like Carsten and Carpel.

"I'm not sure, because I can see you. They can see you too." Claude opened the curtains and the glass door. He also stood on the balcony while sipping tea that had been prepared by the previous waiter.

"I'm not sure about that, your mother was a great witch. They're just low-level noble witches."

"I want to try something, how did you show up in front of Vischa?" Claude tries to uncover information about Visca by meeting Krud with Visca.

"A very brilliant idea. This way I can figure out who your father really is."

"I'm also curious about it, if one day my mission is in Garten maybe I can borrow his identity as a veteran knight in Garten."

"Pfftt.., you always think far ahead."

"Well, it looks like I should also be preparing for the first one next week. I'm sure one hundred and one percent of Carpel and Carsten are planning something for me at the party."

"I think so too."

"Well, now I have to plan Duke Lourik's life.

First I will analyze the odds first. In the movement that I can do of course when Duke is in a quiet place because it is dangerous if anyone sees it.

The choice was to drag the Duke away to a deserted place or attack him silently. If attacking him secretly the risk is very large because in addition the invited guests will focus their attention on me. I really need one more person to help."

"What if you turn the attention of the invited guests to Carpel and Carsten. I'm sure they'll set you up to take you down. Back then what if you took advantage of that situation to trap them while keeping them within the scope of everyone's attention."

"You're right you might be able to try, but there's one more thing to prepare. Like you said, if Duke Lourik is Dior's brother-in-law.

While Dior's instincts were very strong, I had to keep them away so the point was that I still had to separate Duke Lourik from the rest of the audience.

Are you still able to infiltrate the audience who came to Krud's party?"

"No. You know your own party was held in a big way. Perhaps another Duke like Duke Jacques, will likely attend the party."

"I don't think so, because the invited guests will be less than the invited guests. They appreciated their status of being a high noble like Count, Marquis, Duke, Grand Duke and others."

"You're wrong, soon you'll be a royal. Who hasn't seen you in that coronation ceremony. They'll start to instill their cooperation in your family."

"You're right, so what are you gonna do?"

"Of course I will wait for you to kill the man and take his spirit to be delivered to the gate of death."

"Not so, I'm your boss and you're my assistant. Why should I help my assistant continue."

"It seems that after you say that I've come to think of something."

"What?"

"I don't have to kill him directly, maybe I can put in a strong hangover cure, so that Duke gets drunk heavily and goes home early.

After that on the way home I can attack secretly."

"It's pretty good idea, when are you gonna give her that drunken drug."

"Of course when all that attention was on Carpel and Carsten. At that time I'm gonna put some drunken medicinal powder on Duke's drink."

"Haha, you're very cunning. Not only can you kill Duke, but you can take your revenge on Carpel and Carsten. Once the oar of one or two islands is exceeded."

"Let's wait for the results carefully at the party."

"hehe, I can't wait to see the show you're making."

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

Claude's welcome party begins. All attendees who came as per Krud's estimate. They come a lot because they not only make friends with generals who are nobles who are higher than him. Even his name has been heard all the way to the country.

As planned, the Baron Marquez Family was busy welcoming the invited guests. Claude is still busy preparing himself because today he is the star of this party.

"Sir Claude, are you nervous?" ask the waiter who helped tidy up Claude's clothes.

"No, I'm used to dealing with a lot of people at the border."

"Master is great! Mr. Vischa would be proud."

"It doesn't seem like it, oh can I ask you one thing?"

"It is with great pleasure that my master will answer him as best I can."

"Do you know Ren?"

"Rin? I seem to have heard of it. Wasn't He the servant in your former residence, sir?"

"You're right, what about him?"

"I'm less sure, last I heard senior Ren was Miss Laura's servant, but I heard the song senior quit working from the residence."

"Stopped? What's the reason he stopped?"

"As far as I know, senior Ren has an affair with one of the nobles. So that after the news spread, Mr. Vischa punished him a little."

"(Ren couldn't possibly do that, this seemed to be the subterfuge of the Marquez family. I'll investigate this as well after I finish this additional task.)." Claude muttered in his heart.

Because the servant who helped him out of the hell of suffering seemed to get a bad treatment as well when Claude left the old residence.

"Thank you for the information. Someday I'll pay it back later."

"Thank you, sir."

"Master!" One of the other servants walked in and opened the door slowly while respecting Claude. "The party master is about to begin, sir, please prepare a little opening speech."
