An Assistant to the Angel of Death
47

Claude came out through the balcony of his room, he saw that Duke Lourik's horse-crete had gone a bit far, but it did not matter to him because, his speed while running was the same as the speed of a carriage.

Claude came down cautiously, with the rope ready, with Krud holding the rope up there.

"Krud remember to pretend to be me, if any servant comes in. Remember you have to pretend you're not feeling well and put your body under the covers.

Claude warns Krud once more so that he can fully understand what Claude is saying. Krud only smiled cunningly who seemed to want to play a little bit of a trick on Claude's additional mission this time around.

"Bye Claude I'm gonna take off the rope. I don't want to obey what my subordinates hehehe said.."

Krud removed the rope, so Claude fell from the height of the second floor of his residence. Lucky he just fell into the bushes. There were no cuts and only a few blisters on his hands.

"Sial*and you're Krud, I'll get back to you. Now it's time for action, but I don't know why I have such a bad feeling about Duke."

Claude with his agility. He can run fast. Although it took quite some time to catch up with the speeding train, it was fortunate that the train did not go fast. Soon Claude put on his mask to cover up his identity.

"It's a pretty effective idea, but it looks like I'm going to have a hard time not taking into account the Duchess who left together. The Duchess is the older sister of Dior. It would be a big deal, if there was a dispute between our fellow royal knights."

Claude rethinks how he does not involve the Duchess too much and becomes a witness, despite using disguise, but still with the ability of his property and rank of nobility. The Duchess can deploy anyone to find the perpetrator of her husband's murder.

"That means I have only one chance, I think the train is far enough from home." Claude was ready to do something.

He stopped chasing and threw something towards the horse carriage that Duke Lourik was riding on. Immediately after that the horse-drawn carriage that Duke Lourik rode exploded violently, indeed the sparks of his explosion were seen all the way to Marquez's residence.

"This is the time." Claude smiled satisfied his plan had really worked. The horseman and the Duchess were thrown somewhere, but they still survived. Because the explosive used by Claude is an explosive concoction that uses magic that is very safe, because the magic comes from Krud.

Claude saw clearly that Duke was thrown towards the left side, right into the bush. It would make it easier for him to kill the Duke secretly. Eventually the additional tasks run by Claude were completed quickly.

Claude ran and traced the bush where Duke was thrown by the explosion. Claude was so careful. In order for the drunken Duke not to shout so much as to see him that he had to secretly appear and then kill him.

After he traced that tall bush for so long, finally he found Duke who was lying weak because the medicine given by Claude still reacted in the Duke's body even though it had faded slightly due to the magic used by the Duke.

"You!' The Duke suddenly woke up.

"You! I can see you, you're a curse demon. The prophecy was not wrong. Now what are you gonna do?" The duke spoke rather loudly enough that his personal horseman started to move in search of him.

Claude who sensed that he immediately took out the cake knife that was previously used by Carpel to stab him but to no avail. Claude took the opportunity to use the knife used by the previous Carpel to kill the Duke.

Claude squatted down, bringing his face closer before the Duke. "If Duke already knows it's best for Duke to leave quietly today." Claude pierced Duke's heart with the knife, though not too sharp Claude deliberately used his pure demonic powers to sharpen the blade.

And then slowly the knife penetrated the Duke's chest skin to the inside and pierced the Duke's heart, so that the Duke's heart broke and bleeding inside his body, and finally Duke Lourik slowly died according to his death certificate which died at the time of Claude's feast on the title.

Claude sensed that Duke's horse-driver was starting to get closer, with the distance now probably not going to have time to run away, because Claude still had to look for the Duke's token where it could make the Duke distinguish magic and pure power from a demon or angel.

Claude ransacked in a hurry, to get the token, so he did not realize that he had made the dead Duke naked as a result of all his clothes taken by Claude.

Claude immediately went into hiding with the Duke's clothes. Soon after Claude went into hiding, the horse-driver belonging to Duke Lourik's residence found the Duke lying lifeless.

And after that, Krud came to take the Duke's spirit and deliver him to the death gate.When Claude who was hiding it continued his search for the Duke's token.

As soon as the horseman of the Duke family residence saw such a Duke, he was very surprised to see the Duke's dire situation. It was stripped and on its tall skewer using a cake cutting knife.

After a long time of searching for the token, the Horseman of Duke Lourik's family residence realizes that there is someone behind a large tree that is close to the bush where the Duke's body was found.

With great care, the Duke's horseman walked very slowly, so as not to make any noise as he stepped. The horseman also examined the tree which turned out to be no one but Duke's clothes lying just like that.

The man then picked up the Duke's shirt. While looking towards the left right side ensured that the person he thought was evil had killed the Duke was already not wandering around him.

but in reality, Claude managed to be pulled up into the tree by Krud, so he could still survive.

"Duchess, I'm sorry! I found Mr. Duke's body." Hearing the Duke's horseman's shout the Duchess immediately ran towards the voice and saw the Duke who was no longer alive.

A cry broke out from the Duchess, making Claude's heart waver. He realized whether his decision to become Krud's assistant was the right choice. When compared with his mother's will which requires him to do good to everyone.

"Claude don't falter, to reconcile the world as it was. You sometimes have to deal with this kind of thing in the future."
