An Assistant to the Angel of Death

"Oh, so yes it was appropriate that he could win the war, it seemed that his spirit beast had only luckily chosen Claude as its master.

I've guessed it's just that his hair looks like ours, I've guessed that his magic is the same as ours. I was also sure that his magic did not appear at the time because he was in a depressed state.

Had he not escaped, I would have been the one the king liked so much and married Drenelle's daughter."

Charmy looked down both annoyed and frightened. Carpel really did not understand what Charmy did to Charly.

"Hey, Carpel I support you to take down Claude. Don't give it up." Charly said it with a cold gaze and full of dark aura around. Charly's terrible smile made Carpel realize and feel the same way as Charmy.

In the horse-drawn carriage..

"Sir Counselor, we should be normal when later. I'm taking you to my family's VIP restaurant."

"You have a restaurant?"

"Yes right, but now it belongs to my brother Muse Jacques."

"You have a sister, it turns out. She must be so beautiful because her brother is as handsome as you." Claude tries to be more familiar with Lyon so that he finds out the identity of the Jacques family along with the curse on the Grand Duke Jacques.

"You're right, she's very pretty. It is a pity that the Counselor will be married off to one of the King's noble daughters. I thought if I set you up. You'll be a good couple." Lyon smiled happily as if he was imagining the moment Claude became his sister-in-law.

"Don't think stupid like that. I myself still haven't thought far there. After all I would rather be on the battlefield than relaxing in a capital like this."

"Well, the Counselor is a hard worker."

"I'm sorry for my disrespect, as your friend I just feel like you're hiding something right? Am I right?"

Claude stared probing at Lyon, which seemed to be true. There's something Lyon's been hiding.

"Hmm.., how do we talk about this once we get there." Lyon glanced at the servant next to him and the horseman who might have heard their words while in the chariot.

After understanding the gesture given by Lyon, Claude understood what Lyon meant and changed the subject.

After a few tens of minutes they arrived at the Jacques family's fancy restaurant. Very sweet classical songs. The singers were also noble magicians with a talent for sound. So that sounds very beautiful and alluring.

Claude was very amazed not only the exterior of the luxury, but all the contents of this restaurant are so luxurious. The Jacques family was very different from the Duke Lourik family who were not so royal towards their treasures.

Even while following him, Claude saw Duke Lourik eating at the usual pastry shop. Not this fancy.

"You look really amazed at this interior design." Lyon said suddenly Claude felt a chill behind Lyon's back that made his feelings become unpleasant.

"Does the design of all these rooms use magic?" Claude asked out of curiosity.

"Yes, because the magic in my family doesn't just appear one type. Did you see the singer singing on stage? That's the embodiment of wind magic actually, they're so creative in creating beautiful magic aren't they?"

Claude's heart still felt bad, like something was up against Lyon. "No, I just understood this song is a magic spell." Claude whispered in his heart that he had realized something.

But he has to see to what extent Lyon will show his true intentions. Claude entered the VIP room followed by Lyon.

They sat down on the table and chairs that were prepared. No one is with them. The servants were just waiting at the door to keep watch something happen.

Lyon poured Wine in a glass belonging to Claude and his. With a smile Lyon brandished his glass indicating he wanted to toast Claude.

Although Claude was hesitant at first, they finally toast. The two glasses clashed against each other, giving rise to a loud clanking sound. Then they drank the wine.

Then continue to eat the dishes while discussing what they want to talk about.

"So what do you want to say Lyon?" While being careful, Claude already sensed that Lyon seemed to be setting a trap for him.

"It's about my brother, we talked about it last night, didn't we?" Lyon smiled falsely at Claude, but quickly learned of it.

"The head of the Jacques Family has hereditary inherited the seal of the curse. But it looks like you heard it." While cutting the food in front of him Lyon talked about his family as expected by Claude.

"Can't be denied, because gossip spreads easily." Claude reasoned that he only heard it through a rumor so that Lyon did not take it too seriously.

"It's not just a rumor, because for the person who spread it is a death sentence, but specifically for the royal Counselor not to do it."

.

"You're too serious Lyon, honestly I know all this stuff just comes from gossip. (Actually the gossip from Krud can't be wrong) is indeed a curse like who knows I can help you find a cure."

" thank you for your good intentions, I will tell you about it. So it used to be that the grand duke who was a descendant to that kingdom had an enormous magic three talent element magic.

Among them Wind, Water, Fire.then we call it A3 magic. Where magic is actually opposite each other. But they can be combined with each other. Our family conducted many experiments and produced extraordinary powers, so there was little intention of them to betray to the kingdom.

By not knowing his shame he came alone, because his wife and his own son were the ones he wanted to reward as the highest position. They did not know about the betrayal.

The same thing happened to the Algerian family maybe he would know what it was like to be in a position as a person who betrayed the empire. Lucky our family wasn't cast out like Mr. Alger's family, but still we can't live quietly."

"then what happened?" Claude was so enthusiastic about hearing the story from Lyon.

"Of course, it was unexpected that the King at the time was talking to a Great Witch. So that because it had already barged in he attacked the witch as well.it was the thing my Grandfather did"
