The Cold-Blooded Sword Expert
Dinner invitation (2)

Iris who heard that, she grinned as she stared at the extremely crowded city square. "True Mr. Leodric, people also need extra full preparation to prepare for the anniversary of Little Pear city. Other than to complete the Quest, do you also intend to do something during the festival?"

"Maybe I'll finish the Quest while marketing a potion I'm making." Reply Leo.

"Potions?" Iris opened her eyes. "I didn't expect that master Leo also had the skills of an Alchemist. If you like, what potion will you market?"

"No, only my friend has the skills of an Alchemist. Besides, the potion I made was the sun Lily extract."

Iris who heard that, she almost spouted out a drink that she just gulped down. Even that made him choke impolitely which made him immediately close his mouth in front of Leodric.

"Sun Lily abstraction? Mr. Leodric, you're so funny. The sun lily is very rare. Then I heard there was also sky water as a material to concoct it. And the sky water itself only existed in the Black Moon empire." Iris rubbed the end of her lips that were wet from the drink.

"That's funnier than a dinner invitation but all I see is one drink Miss Iris." Leo looked at Iris. "No, sorry I was kidding. I can order by myself."

"I forgot to. I'm sorry Mr. Leodric for my carelessness. I'll order dinner and drinks." Iris moved from her place for a while to order food and drinks.

A slightly luxurious architecture, makes Leo actually feel that this place is a place to eat belonging to a noble or people with an existence. Even only Leo wore simple clothes in this place. Then, in the North Square there is also a gate that becomes part of the castle of the count. Little Pear people call him mayor.

A few minutes later, Iris returned with a smile. "I've ordered, Mr. Leodric, please wait a moment."

"Miss Iris, why did you choose such a luxurious dining venue?" 

“Mr Leodric, I'll pay for everything, so you don't worry."

"The money problem I'm not worried about. It's just ...” Leo could not continue his words. Because the discussion about finance this time is quite sensitive to discuss. So, Leo stopped to discuss it and thought to look for another discussion.

Iris smiled, until her white teeth appeared. Who thought he would be angry? Of course not. He understood that this place was quite a luxurious and ordinary place for the place of the people who had abundant treasures. Later on, he also understood that Iris' side job was an adventurer guild receptionist, so eating in a place like this was not his castle.

It should be, but Iris is different. Although he was an adventurer guild receptionist, he was straightforward to Leo. “My father was a Viscount, or a subordinate of the Count. So .....”

With eyes wide open, Leo said with a small chuckle. “Sial, I was humiliated as it turned out. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that before. Who would have thought my opponent was a noble family. Sorry for my impoliteness.” Cut Leo down while slightly lowering his head.

“No, no Mr. Leodric. I also have no intention of bragging. So let's just say it's just bullshit ok?”

This is a golden opportunity! Leo's curiosity grew more and more about Verva. Right now in front of him was a noble. Yes, Verva is an organizational group that is a group behind certain nobles make Leo unable to open his voice. “Nona Iris. Sorry I was sassy. But, can I ask you about something?”

“Sure, Mr. Leodric.”

“Verva?” Iris touched her chin. “Isn't that organization gone 11 years ago? That's what I heard. In addition, the organization also works behind certain nobles.”

“Unfortunately my father is a low class noble, namely Viscount. A Viscount is not like a Duke noble or a King or an Emperor who has a Monarchic system. Nobles such as Marquis, Count and down, they could be released at any time according to the policies of the nobility on it. So we can not know about it and detailed about the organization.” Reciprocity.

Leo thought again. It seems that what Iris said has a point. The Marquis' nobility down did not have the absolute power to command his territory forever. Unlike the Duke upwards who has a monarchy system, which can be hereditary without being changed like the story of Verva.

Raha himself can choose two to three marquis to guard the border in every Duchy that is on the edge of the kingdom. Later, the Duke could also raise several Counts depending on how much territory there was within the Duchy. As for the Count, they had to raise at least four Viscounts who might not be too conspicuous. But at least one of the duties of the Viscount was the matter of the justice and security of the territory they managed.

Even so, the Duke himself could also be replaced by a king or emperor at any time. It's just that, if under certain circumstances such as the Duke family is caught embezzling money and various other criminal cases.

In conclusion, it is quite difficult to find information if you have a relationship with nobles who can be replaced by nobles on it. Because it could be that they also do not have information that has long disappeared while they also have just taken office.

That means, Verva has a relationship with the Duke, King, and emperor. A high-level noble. And that makes Leo think hard and curious, about why Verva killed his parents? There can't be any obvious reason.

“If only work on Duke, king and emperor, it means ....” Leo frowned. But his speech was suddenly cut by Iris in an instant.

“True, this covers all the kingdoms and empires in the continent, no, not even in this world. Not only the Mazzary empire, but Black Moon and other territories. My guess is, their duty is paid to bring down political opponents like princes between princes who seize power.” Iris speculated.

This makes Leo even more worried. Increasingly hesitant to market it to the mayor directly. Because, all he needed was friendship at least with the son or grandson of a Duke. The only nearby Duke was, the Duke who ruled the Southern Duchy, or the territory that the Duke led over Little Pear city and the surrounding city at this time.

His hesitation to market potions when the festival peaked. He was worried because this was as difficult as he had imagined. Getting the mayor or Count interested would probably be a little useless. Although in truth, Leo did not know whether the Little Pear Count himself also understood about it all.

“But indeed, how did you know about Verva? Are you actually also a noble in another city lord Leo?” Iris looked seriously at Leo and put her suspicions on him.

Along with that, the waiter brought a slide of fancy food and drinks which were then served on the dining table of the two of them.

After waiting for the waiter to leave, Leo then said, “No. But my mom and dad killed Verva 11 years ago. It also coincides with the dispersed Verva. My curiosity is booming, and this is definitely about revenge.”

Iris who heard that, she instantly covered her mouth before she said behind that palm. “I'm sorry, I'm really sorry to ask you like that sir.”

“Sometimes it's time to remember all the memories and be sad. But you in front of me with dinner in front of us right now, is not the time to grieve and remember bad memories. Welcome to mr.” Iris then showed her smile to comfort Leo.

Leo then had a thought in his head. Not because of those bad memories, but he stared at the food and the surroundings. Then he sat down, “The problem is I don't understand about the etiquette of eating.”
