Book 4: Chapter 29

Next Chapter

Princess and the Magical Rampage

I went to call Merdie, the last person.

Merdie, Ill enter

Its the aroma of chao fan!

I was about to knock on the door when Merdie rushed out.

As expected of a beastkin.

She was able to sniff the smell of chao fan that lingered on me, moreover, it was from inside her room.

So chao fan is ready, meow?

Y, yeah.

She didnt say anything regarding my butler guise.

Is she only interested in chao fan?

Well, thats good, I guess.

Oh, yeah, Merdie didnt say she wanted me to see me in my butler suit.

I made plenty. To the dining room?

Ill go right away, meow!

Merdies tail was straight up. I accompanied her to the dining room.

I took a lot of time since I had to call six people. Moreover, only 3 of them gathered.

Being a butler sure is hard.

Tina and Leaffa were already seated when we reached the dining room.

I apologize for making you wait. I will prepare immediately.

Yes, please.

Fufufu, being waited upon by Halt is quite novel.

Halt, hurry, hurry!

I made my way to the kitchen since Merdie was rushing me.

I made chao fan and chinese soup, but I havent plated them yet. I reheated them, arranged them on the serving dishes, and brought them back to everyone.

By the way, Shiro was already done eating, and he was sleeping in the drawing room.

I reheated them again as they had turned coldMay I know your opinion regarding the taste?

Yummy, meow!

Indeed, it is truly delicious, Halt-sama.

I like this flavor!

What a relief. Everyones happy.

Halt, I want seconds, meow.

Yes, yes, theres a lot more.

I took Merdies plate and went to refill it.

Its my duty to serve them today.

Here, Merdie.

Thanks, meow!

Halt-sama, what happened to Youko, Mai and Mei? We already started our dinner

Tina asked as I was passing the plate to Merdie.

The ladies were tired, so they wanted to rest for a while.

Yup, didnt tell a lie.

Is that so. Well, they had been doing their best serving the customers.

Tina believed me.

Yes. I will prepare their meals once they are awake. Miss Tina, would you like another serving?

Yes, please.

Ah, me too, please!

Yes, certainly.

I received Tina and Leaffas plates, and went back to refill them.

Hmm?

The mansions doorbell rang.

It might be Sasha.

I served the food to Tina and the rest, then I headed towards the entryway.

Ah, Im still wearing the butler suit.

Well, whatever.

Sorry for keeping you waieh!?

My brother Cain was standing on the porch, wearing a burnt armor, when I opened the door.

H, Halt Y, you overdid your magic

Cain fainted after saying that.

Eh, wait a moment! Brother!

His armor was toasted black, but the wounds on his body were quite few. His energy, however, was depleted. I had to cast recovery magic on him for the meantime.

A, ahm

Sasha, the sister of this countrys monarch, was standing behind the fallen Cain.

Your Highness Sasha, what happened to my eldest brother?

I asked Sasha since she might know what caused Cain to be in this state.

I tried to sneak out from the palace this evening to go to this placeApparently; Cain followed me as my escort.

The king of Glendale probably noticed that Sasha was trying to slip away. Thats why he ordered Cain, his most trusted subordinate, to tail and to escort her.

When I left the capital, Lord Cain approached me, and I was surprised, and

Sasha showed her bracelet to me after saying that. It was the one I gave to her. I infused it with my magic and placed my flaming knight inside it, but it was already gone.

In other words, the flaming knight treated Cain as the enemy, so it attacked him to protect Sasha,

By the way, Cain finished it off, by the looks of it.

To be able to defeat it as expected of my eldest brother.

Hmmm, there are still so many flaws in its control.

It was a relief that their opponent was Cain, but if it was just an ordinary thief, then it would have been killed long ago in front of Sasha. They might even cause trauma to Sasha.

O, Oy, Halt. Youre thinking something rude right now, isnt it?

Cain already recovered.

Ah, you noticed, Eldest Brother. Hows your body?

Im fine now. You casted a recovery charm on me, right? Thanks.

No worries, its my fault that you were burnt, anyway.

Yeah, as I thought, that was really your magic, right? But isnt it too dangerous? I already used my extreme intuition to the fullest, and I also activated my body strengthening magic to its maximum, yet I barely won against it

Back when Ryuushin and Ryuka were attacked, the warlock defeated one flaming knight at great pains. 

In short, Cains strength was at par with that of a demon. He can be considered as part of the monsters class.

By the way. Halt. How many flaming knights can you conjure at once?

At once? Well around 10, I guess.

Wha!? Y, you said you can make 10 of those!!?

I can conjure 10 bodies at once.

If I can take my time, then I could conjure up to 10, 000.

In fact, I conjured and mobilized approximately that many knights during our battle with Apristos. 

Besides, they were programmed to be automated, so I could probably conjure a whole lot more if that was not the case.

In any case, please come in.

I realized we were conversing in the entranceway, so I invited Sasha into the mansion.

Cain was dumbstruck.

Eldest Brother, come inside if youve recovered, okay?

I left Cain at the entrance, and guided Sasha into the drawing room.

Will Sasha eat chao fan?

T/N: Merdie treating food as more important than Halt kinda made my day lol. And can Cain x Sasha be shipped? Hmm.. probably not, lol.
