An Assistant to the Angel of Death
45

"I suspect it looks like Lyon is hiding something, especially he is so covered with nobles again once he arrives at the Capital. I have to ask Krud to disguise himself as Alger's nobleman again." According to Claude's heart as Lyon spoke as if they were covering something up.

"It turns out so, huh? Your brother is fighting hard. He must be a very clever man." Claude tried to suppress Lyon by praising the Grand Duke Jacques.

"You're overreacting, Counselor. That, anu.., why did the Counselor ask about my sister huh?' Lyon politely asked Claude what Claude was planning. But with another presentation.

"I am indeed only a Marquez baron family, have no power whatsoever and have no right whatsoever to interfere in the Jacques Grand Duke family.

But Lyon remembers this one thing, if your brother gets lost on the wrong path then the impact is not just your family but the whole kingdom.

I go first Lyon thanks for coming to see me, maybe I'll send a letter to Mr. Alger that you miss him, see you." Claude left while slightly smiling cunningly. He knows that Lyon are currently worried about himself.

"Ah, anu sir! if I had thought about it, I would have told master!" Lyon shouted as Claude went behind him.

Claude smiled satisfied with Lyon's choice, it would make it easier for him to kill Grand Duke Jacques. Claude turned around and smiled at Lyon. "I'll wait, but I can't wait too long either."

Claude left completely from the balcony. Towards the third stage, see the action of Carpel and Carsten.

"Your highness gentlemen and ladies here I am Carpel as Claude's esteemed brother will tell you something of a fact about him."

Claude's already seen the Carpel show start. Everyone was instantly distracted by the loud voice of Carpel. And Duke Lourik.

Claude was getting ready to take out the medicinal powder from inside his suit pocket. As expected after having a little chat with him, the Duke would definitely come to see Vischa to praise Claude and try to establish cooperation with the Baron Marquez family.

Claude pretended to approach Vischa, but in fact Claude began to put the medicinal powder into the drink belonging to Duke Lourik who was right in his hand.

Duke did not realize it at all because his attention was very focused on Carpel who was boasting in front of the invited guests. Just put a little powder into the medicine. A strong drunken reaction would affect Duke Lourik.

"Dad, is this part of the father's show too?" Claude pretended to ask Vischa while Duke Lourik also saw Claude who seemed to be the thing Carpel was doing outside their party.

"My brother Claude, he can't possibly win the war, do you know why? It's because he was born with no magic."

Carpel continued to brag making everyone wonder, is it true what Carpel said?. The invited guests were divided into three who believed in it, the second did not believe it and the third was neutral and did not care what Carpel said.

"What your brother said is true? But I think your hair is the same as your father's so I thought your magic must be the same. But that brother of yours has the same hair as Lady Gracia would have their magic the same?"

Duke Lourik asked Claude who was right next to him, along with Vischa who both heard the question from Duke Lourik.

"ten-" One word Vischa was interrupted by an explanation from Claude.

"Oh yeah, then what's your magic?"

"My magic is erasing someone's magic." Claude said it with a sharp look, but after that he immediately smiled back at Duke Lourik.

Duke felt a hint of horror arising from Claude's sharp gaze as he said the magic talent he possessed. "Is this why Vischa was revealed to be a Baron noble because her magic was weakened?" In the heart of Duke Lourik who was so clueless and had never seen any such magic talent.

Vischa was shocked to hear Claude's words. Previously he had felt how his magic was suddenly absorbed a lot by Claude accidentally. Even Claude himself did not know that.

Magic is the key to power, if the magic can be erased from a person. Then someone who does not have magic will become a commoner who lives under the capital.

"Do you not believe my words?" Carpel asked the attendees confidently that they would all believe his bragging

"CARPEL! STOP THAT!" Shouted Vischa who was very angry and furious with what was done by Carpel that was embarrassing for him.

"Daddy, if my brother has spoken like that then we have to see who is right and who is wrong?"

Claude seems to be challenging Carpel to a magic match, but he knows that it is not polite at a banquet like this. but he will still do so by fishing for Carpel to start early

"I know big brother can't use magic in front of me, so who doesn't have my magic or brother's?"

Claude tried to provoke Carpel with some words of provocation. For Carpel to get hooked and cast his magic without having to embarrass himself.

"You! You can only brag." Carpel was a little angry but he was also a little hesitant if he had to attack Claude now. He may be punished by Vischa.

"Aren't you the one bragging? So why are you speaking to so many people like this if you don't want to prove what you're saying?"

Claude slightly whispered with the movement of his lips on Carpel so as not to hear the people in the audience invited the party. In his aim Claude says "Looser" to the rebellious Carpel makes Carpel stupefied and furious.

Carpel brought a cake knife, and was about to attack Claude. All the guests were panicked to see the action by Carpel.

Carpel ran towards Claude, all the people who blocked Carpel's path towards Claude by themselves opened the line for fear of being hit by the knife first.

Everyone shut up, horrified to see the action taken by Carpel, but Claude already knew everything that would be done by Carpel.

So Claude just fell silent, and smiled cunningly. Looking at Carpel who was really hooked on what Claude was talking about.
