An Assistant to the Angel of Death
55

"Because of his stupidity, not one or two people suffered, but all the descendants of Jacques who were chosen to be the head of the family had to suffer because of the curse."

Claude noticed Lyon's eyes were starting to change. It was as if waiting for the next sentence Claude shuffled his Wine glass slowly.

"What kind of curse does the Grand Duke have?' Claude asked because Lyon did not continue the story.

"My brother was cursed, when he used his magic excessively his body would be hot as if burned by the Fire of Hell. That's why he's just a scientist who uses a little magic energy.". Lyon explains how the curse.

"So it's a curse that comes from magic huh, meaning it can still be removed by another magic spell." Claude pretended to investigate how to release the curse experienced by the Grand Duke. Although actually he does not really care about it, because soon he will also die when he kills.

"Is there really a way to release it?" Lyon metal Claude with great expectation.

"Right, it looks like I need to find my mother's Grimoire, because there's a lot of records on curse magic." Claude is trying to make sure that Lyon are really on his side.

"Are you sure it'll work?" Lyon still seems half-believing and half-not.but he knows that the talent of magic possessed by Claude can only remove magic only.

But it made him a little sure that Claude could do it, because it was possible just by removing a little magic belonging to the Grand Duke the curse could have been released.

"I'm sure I can, but I also need appropriate rewards." Claude tried to negotiate with Lyon.

Lyon gave a pile of gold coins. But Claude refused, Lyon also added it to two bags of gold, but still rejected by Claude.

"So what exactly do you want to do?" Lyon are confused because Claude is constantly rejecting the money given by Lyon.

"I just want to ask you to answer one question from me." Claude with a firm and cold tone explained how he exchanged one spell with one question only.

"What do you want to ask?" Lyon can't seem to be patient to quickly get a spell that can free his brother from this hereditary curse.

But actually Claude did not care about it anyway Grand Duke would soon die at his hands. According to Claude's thoughts, but after thinking about it was not that simple.

Lyon has two magic elements and is also reliable in using both, but his magic level is not lower or higher than a level three mage.

If the Grand Duke were to die, the other Jacques Families or even Uncle and Aunt Lyon's cousins could have attacked him while he was being weak like that, because of his appearance Lyon is not the type of person who can play politics reliably, but looks like an innocent and innocent person and attaches importance to honesty.

"What experiments is your brother doing now?" The question that was already known the answer was still Claude asked because he himself hoped, Lyon could change his mind and open his heart to tell him further.

"Well it's okay if you don't want to tell me. I can't give that spell away for free either. Then how about we just go around the capital? There's a place I want to go."

"It looks like the Advisory Lord today is busy, yes, in the morning you have to attend the funeral ceremony until 1 pm yet your family must be interrogated because it is accused of being the perpetrator and ends at 3 pm.

Today you must accompany me now it's five in the afternoon, afraid you're too late to go home are you okay sir? Forgive me for my selfishness."

"It's okay, I'd rather be preoccupied with useful things than be silent about doing nothing."

Claude put on a fake smile, and so did Lyon. It was clear there was something Lyon wanted to do to Claude, but Claude could only wait for that to happen.

"Come, I'll guide the way, Mr. Counselor." Lyon kept his cutlery and then wiped his mouth and hands neatly and carefully. Then he stood up from his chair.

Push the chair back to make it look neat. Then put his handkerchief back in and guide Claude out of the VIP room. As they walked out, Claude did not expect that the visitors and waiters there saw the two of them coming out of the room at the same time.

Claude is getting weird about their behavior actually what Lyon is planning on doing with Claude, isn't he a close friend while at the military camp. That's how Claude feels.

After getting out of the Jacques family's restaurant, Lyon and Claude returned to ride on Lyon's horse-drawn carriage. In the horse-drawn carriage Claude sensed that there was a paralyzing magic. It is commonly used by wind magic using the most difficult spells.

But Claude has to pretend to be exposed because with that, maybe Lyon will show his true intentions. But Claude had to choose a suitable place to show the effect of the magic done by Lyon.

But one thing that made Claude wonder, why Lyon himself was not exposed to this magic was not the person who made him not himself but his man, why he could not be exposed, not be exposed, didn't he have to cast a spell first to escape this magic.

But after he noticed, Lyon did not say any spell at all. So what magic did he actually use to take down Claude.

Exactly adjacent to the corner of the capital that Claude was heading to, he pretended to start being exposed to the effects of magic. Claude showed his weakness, and acted with a gasp of breath, as if he was being suffocated.

The horse carriage stopped. With his magic Lyon threw Claude out of his carriage very hard, lucky there was a little grass that made Claude fall on it was not scuffed.

Lyon slowly approached with an uncharacteristic look. He was like two different people who were in the battlefield. Even the flow of magic that circled around his entire body was very much different from that of Lyon, like there were three streams moving in opposite directions.

But in Claude's heart started to grin, he was looking forward to who set up who. He was really looking forward to an amazing game from the person in front of him.
