 Chapter 32 - A Butterfly in the Versailles Palace Doesn't Look Out of Place

I arrived at the base of the “5th Apostle Eleni Chloros,” who is recognized as a dangerous person in my mind.

 

As I was going through the formalities without a care in the world, I was suddenly called out from behind.

 

“Excuse me, sir. I see you are Sir Alfred Della Scala.”

 

Oh, I knew you’d come …….

When I turned around, I saw an elderly man standing there, dressed in the attire of a house lord.

 

“Are you from House Chloros?”

 

He seemed to be a little surprised by my reply, but he seemed to calm down immediately.

 

“That’s right, sir. The head of the family would like to invite Sir Alfred and your entourage.”

 

“I accept the invitation.”

 

I nodded immediately.

The Elderly seemed a little surprised at the speed of my reply …… but quickly returned to his solemn demeanor.

 

“Thank you, sir. I will show you around.”

 

I nodded and followed the butler.

The mourning woman Silvana, who had become quite accustomed to playing the role of questioner, asked in a whisper.

 

(Hey, I can’t figure out what’s happening.)

 

(There was a commotion in the third’s base, wasn’t there? That’s how the story got out. They figured that if they invited us before there was a problem, they’d be fine.)

 

(But nothing happened in the fourth.)

 

(Al expected it, though. I don’t know if it was too late or if the head of the family was absent. Did he think it would be better to stay away from?)

 

The mourning woman, Silvana, nodded with a smug expression.

 

(Al is a problem child, after all.)

 

I don’t want to hear that from you.

 

◆◇◆◇◆

 

I’ve been shown into the master’s mansion …… and it’s huge.

For all intents and purposes, it’s the Palace of Versailles.

 

When they were ushered into the reception room, they all opened their mouths in different ways.

The mourning woman Silvana is excited.

 

“As expected of the only female apostle in the world. This is a palace, isn’t it?”

 

The teacher also looked around curiously.

 

“It’s the first time I’ve been in here too. The kiddo’s troubled nature has taken a turn for the better.”

 

I don’t want to hear it from you either.

Milva was also looking around the room curiously.

 

“It’s gorgeous. Does it cost a lot of money? I wonder if there’s anything special about inviting Al?”

 

“I don’t think there’s any deep meaning to the invitation.”

 

Actually, there is.

I don’t dare mention it because it would be troublesome if it was asked somewhere else.

 

The mourning woman, Silvana, looked at me with admiration.


 

 

“I’m sure Al’s family is amazing. Oh, no, I can’t! I’m for the apostle first and foremost.”

 

That’s enough …….

The teacher is looking around the room.

 

“It’s a great aristocrat’s house, after all …… Looking at the kiddo, it looks like a scholar’s house. It’s more of a house that excels in military power. It’s a house of literature and martial arts, but essentially it’s a house that puts a lot of emphasis on the military.”

 

My two older brothers may look like that, but they are skilled in commanding and martial arts.

In terms of game status, it’s around 80 for leadership and valor.

At the age of 22, that ability would be genius tier.

In a way, they’re a cheat older brothers

Me? I don’t have such a thing.

Milva laughed at my blandness.

 

“He’s not pompous …… Sometimes I forget he’s an aristocrat.”

 

That’s because I’m an old man, a commoner at heart.

I’m not trying to be pompous at all.

 

 

◆◇◆◇◆

 

While we were talking about this, the door opened and I heard a voice.

 

“It’s an honor to have the son of the renowned Scala family here.”

 

Thinking that it was a greeting from the head of the family, I turned my gaze in the direction of the voice.

But what I saw was Madame Butterfly …… who looked exactly like her.

I was almost about to burst out laughing by how much she was into it.

In order to disguise the fact that I was about to laugh, I immediately bowed.

 


 

“Thank you very much for inviting me.”

 

“That’s very polite of you. It’s a pleasure to meet you. My name is Anesha Chloros. I am the head of the Chloros family.”

 

She is a female apostle, so the head of the family must also be a woman.

 

“I came to greet you first before dinner.”

 

“That’s very kind of you. Since I was able to see you before dinner, I think I can eat properly. You were so beautiful that I couldn’t help but admire you.”

 

It was a brash social call.

I was about to burst out laughing, but I held it in.

Madame Butterfly, Anesha, smiled in a good mood at my pleasantries. 

 

“Oh, you’re very good. I’ve heard that the Scala family is full of brave men …… and mediocre at treating women well, but rumors are not to be trusted.”

 

“I am so young that I don’t think I’ve even mentioned it.”

 

Playing catch with flattery and politeness all the time is tiring, isn’t it?

 

“I came to say hello to you first. Let’s have dinner together later.”

 

“Yes, I’d be happy to. By the way, my lord, I have one request.”

 

“What is it?”

 

“May I take a short walk around the town before dinner. It’s a wonderful town and I’d like to take a look around.”

 

“That’s all right, then, if you’d like, I can provide an escort.”

 

That’s not good.

It’s a requirement that I need to take care of on my own.

 

“I appreciate your concern, but it is one of the few comforts I have to look around on my own. Please bear with me.”

 

“All right, then. We will have dinner around sunset, so please be back by then. I’ll have your luggage brought to your room.”

 

“Thank you very much.”

 

I want to finish Kiara’s request as soon as possible.

 

If you don’t make these things a top priority, you’ll get into some kind of trouble, and then you’ll run out of time …… and you won’t be able to go home …… and they’ll make up some innocent charges against you.

I’m not going to be a part of that combo of being socially wiped out.

 

◆◇◆◇◆

 

I went into town and immediately started my mission.

There was a flower shop, so I decided to buy some carnations.

I’m not sure what kind of flowers would be best for a gravestone, but ……

 

Using Kiara’s words, he searched for the place marked on the bookmark.

 

I went out to the outskirts of the city… it was a big tree near the beach.

I wandered around for a while and found something that looked like it.

There was a sign attached to the tree.

 

“A gravestone tree …… This is it.”

 

I put flowers on the tree and said a silent prayer, thinking of the time I would pray if Kiara came.

I’m sure the souls of the deceased are no longer with us.

 

I’ve finished my silent prayer, so I’ll go back now.

 

When I turned around, I saw Milva with a surprised look on her face.
