“viscount granvelle?”
“yes. i heard the viscount was here.”
in response to my question, the person who came so late at night gave a high handed reply. however, i was familiar with the clothes of these two people. they were wearing the same clothes as the ones who had come with viscount carnell before.
“it is this time of night. the viscount has already gone to bed. who should i tell him has come for him?”
“yes, we are the royal messengers. tell him that his highness the crown prince has business with him.”
“i’ll show you to our guest room.” i said to them as i opened the gate and led them to a room with two two-seater sofas instead of the usual living room.
the viscount was still in the living room, not sleeping, so i went to the living room to tell him that the royal messengers had arrived.
as soon as the viscount went to the guest room with me and the knight commander, the messengers in the crown prince’s name invited him to dinner tomorrow. he had heard that the viscount had come to the academy, and since it was a special occasion, he wanted to have dinner with him.
“kyu, what a rush.”
the viscount was thinking of taking the noon flight home tomorrow.
“you refuse his highness’s invitation out of hand. then so be it. i’ll just tell him so.”
“no, i’m not going to say no.”
the viscount said that he has no intention of refusing.
“my lord, then i’ll join you.”
“hmm? are you saying that you need an escort for the crown prince’s dinner? if so, that’s a different story, isn’t it?”
the knight commander, who had come into the room with me, said he would go with the viscount, but the royal messenger asked quizzically why the viscount needed an escort to dine with the crown prince.
is the crown prince someone who he needs an escort for? it seems he wants viscount to come alone.
the viscount was momentarily lost for an answer. it would definitely be a problem if the viscount visits a member of the hostile royal family without an escort and gets killed in the dark. he might just go missing, or he might be killed by some thugs. even if such a thing happened, no one would blame the crown prince.
i spoke up to the royal messenger who was giving a look that said to answer him quickly.
“my lord, tomorrow you will have dinner with the crown prince. i will follow you.”
i, who was wearing the academy’s uniform, naturally bowed to the viscount as if i were his servant.
“follow...”
as a noble, it would be strange for the viscount to just wander off by himself, so i said that i would go with him as his manservant.
when i became granvelle family’s guest, i changed the way i addressed the viscount from “my lord” to “viscount granvelle”. i had thought that this was one way of addressing him, but now i thought that the situation was much more serious.
the viscount swallowed his words. i left the granvelle family when i said i wanted to quit. but this is not the time to discuss about it. it’s a good thing for the viscount if i followed him. in viscount’s opinion, i am probably not as strong as the knight commander, but i am quite strong. it would be a great help for him if i were to be his escort.
at the direction of the royal messenger, we waited in the waiting room of a luxurious hotel. i began to gobble up the fruit that was placed in front of me. i would not be able to eat later since i would be standing behind the viscount.
the viscount said he didn’t want any, so i kept the uneaten fruits away in
(we’ve been waiting for a long lime, haven’t we?)
no one came to us and time just passed.
“what are you doing?”
i sat down where the houseplants were and began to do something.
“i’m making a recovery medicine. i’ll give you some of them so you can use them if you need them.”
“is it reliable?”
“of course.”
while we were waiting for a long time, i was busying myself by generating recovery medicine. in one week, i collect a total of 30,000 magic stones of e and d ranks. that’s triple the 10,000 magic stones i used to collect in a week before the summer vacation.
i turn these stones into [leaf of life]s and [mana seed]s.
i usually do this at the academy, but since i practice sword in the afternoons, i do it secretly in the garden of the academy while listening to classes in the morning. since my quota has increased, the production of [leaf of life]s tends to stagnate. i also improve my skills

then an hour passed.
(oh? you’re making me wait a while, aren’t you? i still have to go to the a-class dungeon. i feel like i’m going to get a gold chest today, but are you in the bathroom?)
another hour passed by.
(what? you’ve kept us waiting too long. you were the ones who invited us, remember? get on with it. i want my gold chest. i’m starting to think today’s the only day i’ll get a gold chest.)
i have a feeling that the crown prince is also responsible for the fact we have not found any gold chests yet.
then, a royal messenger came to summon us while apologizing for having kept us waiting.
we were taken to a luxurious dining room on the top floor, which was reserved for royalty. it was quite spacious, but this seemed to be one dining room.
“sorry to keep you waiting.”
the crown prince, his hair styled all back, said while sitting at a table that could seat dozens of people.
i don’t know if they are guards or what, but there were fully armed knights behind the crown prince. the viscount noticed this and gulped once.
the viscount and allen walked into such a dinner.
