Duke’s Quadruplets Are All Overpowered Chapter 26

26

“… “Is that it?”

“And he is the only messenger who knows Madam’s secret library.”

What’s even more shocking is what he said casually.

* * *

Geolshi said that no matter how much you are a master, you cannot look at the library unless your wife gives permission. She wouldn’t stop him if he forced her to watch it, but she didn’t have to since it would eventually reach her mother’s ears.

It was no surprise that my mother had a secret library in the basement of Quartz Castle that no one knew about. Her mother was once called a sage. She is someone who knows a lot. She is not to blame if the wise man created his own secret library. Just as I hid many things, it is natural that my mother also has things she wants to hide.

However, it was quite a shock to learn that Gulsey was the manager of her mother’s secret library. How did the stupid girl who had been with her since she was young become her mother’s errand boy? She said, she was my mom who put her on me from the beginning.

Unlike my other siblings, I was the only one who continued to have servants after the age of ten. Maybe she was a maid who was raised to be her mother’s errand boy before she was my servant.

Girlfriend will tell her mom.

Well, one day, my mom will tell me too.

Until then, I decided to keep the library’s secrets hidden.

Following Woo Goehyeop, he beat ‘Gonchancha’ and ‘Daesu Hyeopgaek’.

Ushas’ older sister participated in the mission and left for the kingdom.

Sister Melissa’s whereabouts were unknown.

Life went on quite smoothly for a few weeks.

“Oh my, master. “The clothes have wings.”

“Is it a compliment or an insult?”

I wore the blue velvet clothes that symbolize the Reinberg family. It was a style commonly worn by nobles, and was a formal attire worn only at aristocratic gatherings. It was very cumbersome to move around, but I had no choice but to wear it.

“Gulsi was touched. “You’re finally doing your first official duty!”

“What about official business? I was just invited.”

A few days ago, a small change occurred in my repetitive life. Brothers and sisters are invited from many places. Older sister Ushas met with the cardinal from time to time, and the Lanista was so close to the knights that he even served as an advisor to the knights of other territories. Her older sister, Melissa, who was like a doggo die, also participated in nobles’ gatherings a few times.

It is the brothers and sisters who raise the status of the Reinberg family.

Until now, not only during the four years I was stuck on the southern island, but even after returning to Quartz Castle, I have not been invited by anyone or invited to a social gathering. However, the unconventional behavior at the last birthday party seemed to have reversed the evaluation. A few days ago, a letter addressed to me arrived. It was an invitation from Count Schwarzen, an admiral who watches over the southwestern coast and the sea and who is close to the Reinberg family.

Count Schwarzen praised me for being very impressive at my appearance at the birthday party and said he would like to invite me to his castle. That wasn’t the main point. At the end of the letter, he added that his son seemed to have developed the talent of a ‘spiritualist’ and asked if he could take a look at it.

Count Schwarzen is a virtuous and gentle nobleman. After the Great War, he was a nobleman of the ‘Blue Column’ who was close to the Reinberg family, and was an admiral with a fairly high-quality navy, although not at the level of the Matherand family. Since I wanted to become the head of the family, I had to be friendly with him from now on. The opportunity came naturally. Strictly speaking, I am not a spiritualist, but I was able to easily determine whether the other person was or was not a spiritualist. All you have to do is check whether you can see the receipt.

I left the room, leaving the fussing girl behind. A carriage was already waiting in front of the mansion. His father, who was delighted to hear the news of being invited by the count, prepared a carriage loaded with gifts to be given to the count. He seemed like a spoiled father who offered bribes to take good care of his son.

* * *

Riding in a carriage with Reinberg’s flag was a very interesting experience. I realized Reinberg’s status. Along the way, I was invited several times by landowners and county governors, and I gladly enjoyed dinner with them. It was a leisurely journey. It was not until two weeks later that we arrived in the county.

Count Schwarzen’s territory was a large territory with six port cities in the coastal area of ​​the southwestern part of the empire. Among them, the coastal city of Sterram, where the Count’s residence, Sterram Castle, is a splendid port city comparable to the Taicheong Port of the Duke of Matherland. There was a Vemonia city in Quartz territory, but it was nothing more than a fishing port with only a fishy smell.

There were many trade ships in Sterram Port, and as it was a territory ruled by an admiral, military ships were also seen lined up in a row. I heard that Count Schwarzen has a close relationship with the Sternil Kingdom. Because of this, they are kept in check by Duke Solgar, but I heard that the land route is a win-win relationship, with the Reinberg family supplementing ground troops and receiving support for naval power and trade routes.

Anyway, he is a very important person to the Reinberg family.

The city was lively as a port city.

We were able to experience a unique blend of cultures thanks to traders from many countries.

Reinberg was equally welcome at Steram. Some learned city dwellers held up blue objects as the carriage passed by. It was a tribute to the blue pillar, Reinberg.

Sterram Castle is smaller than Quartz Castle, but it is an impressive castle with beautiful curves. The castle, with its high, pointed roof and pure white walls, looks like a princess. Unlike the gloomy garden of Quartz Castle, there was also a garden in full bloom right from the entrance.

“Is that guy?”

In a very rare case, the castle owner, Count Schwarzen, personally came to meet me at the front of the mansion.

He greeted me warmly as I got off the carriage.

Count Irsch Rom Schwarzen,

He was my father’s age, and he had a warm and friendly appearance. He hid his body in loose-fitting clothes with pads and pleats, but his bulging belly still looked interesting. The Count had blonde hair, a rare sight in the Kunkan Empire. It certainly has blood from the Sternil Kingdom.

“Polestar Confucius! Nice to meet you! “I’m just grateful that you responded so well to the invitation.”

“It is an honor to meet you, Admiral, the handsome man of the southern seas who supports the Blue Pillar.”

He chuckled. It was a greeting that his father had hinted at, and he said that he liked to be called ‘man’, which was not typical of a nobleman. It was definitely a very friendly greeting for a count I met for the first time. Still, it worked.

I liked him because his personality was as cool as his appearance.

I said hello briefly and was shown where I would be staying for a few days.

It was a nice room.

The view outside the window of the vast sea was refreshing.

Now, all that remains is to praise and praise his son.

It feels good.

It looks like you’ll be friendly with the count.

* * *

The dinner was held with the earl’s vassals. Although the Count seemed like a cheerful man, he had a sad family history. During the Great War he lost all his children. He barely had a second child, but unfortunately lost his wife during childbirth. He was his father’s age, which was why he had a son around my age. Since he is his only family, his son must be his hope and expectation.

The dinner was sumptuous.

I like the coast like this.

I really liked the dinner full of lemon juice, grotto, fresh fish dishes, meat dishes with spices rarely seen in the Kunkan Empire, and rare seafood. Count Schwarzen was a man who liked to talk, and I chimed in appropriately while listening to his sea stories. Fortunately, he did not have to follow the dining etiquette of a nobleman. After one story, two plates were emptied.

“When I subdued all the barbarians on Bethan Island, they paid tribute to me and offered me precious treasures. It’s called a volcanic stone, and it’s a stone that contains embers. If you want to see me, come visit me tonight. “The ‘red dogs’ criticize me for being an inspiration for collecting rocks, but they say it because they haven’t seen my collection.”

“I remembered it when you said it was a treasure. “This is a gift I prepared because I thought the Count would like it.”

Surprisingly, the uncle’s tastes were not much different in this world.

Gentle men have a hobby of collecting.

Of course, his tastes were more luxurious and esoteric.

Still, with this, I think I can be satisfied.

I took out a small box from my pocket and placed it on the table. I was planning on showing it later, but table manners don’t seem to be important, so I thought now was the right time. As expected, the Count looked at the box with expectant eyes. I slowly and patiently opened the box.

“As you know, the roof of the Quartz Castle Banquet Hall was shattered. This is the stone that fell on the roof at that time. “This one small stone collapsed the solid marble roof.”

Inside the box was a small stone with a subtle silver tinge. To some, it is nothing more than a stone with less value than a jewel, but the Count will know its true value.

Actually, I don’t know. Is this stone really a moon rock? Because it looks completely different from Earth’s moon rock. Well, who knows?

“It’s a moon rock that fell from the moon.”

The count got up from his chair. As if possessed, it approaches me.

“My, my wish was to bring back a stone from the ‘bottom’ of the Grand Canyon. “Because it’s a place no one has ever been to.”

I muttered and stretched out my hand towards the moon rock.

“But, if it’s the moon. If the moon is floating in the night sky, isn’t it a place no one can ever visit? No matter how great an archmage he is, he can’t even dream of it. Of the moon… rock.”

Just because something is expensive and valuable doesn’t mean it’s the best gift.

The best gift is the one that the recipient needs and wants the most.

The Count looked at me with anxious eyes, and I gladly took out the moon rock and placed it in his chubby palm. It was a gift that came to mind suddenly after receiving the Count’s invitation, but the effect was amazing.

He said he would place the moon rock first on his cabinet.

After giving the moon rock as a gift, the Count, who only told stories about his adventures, began to pay attention to me. He wanted to hear my story, and the conversation naturally turned to spiritualists. I lied blatantly to change what could be considered my secrets over the past four years. In fact, he created a plausible reason by saying that he was forced to live in seclusion for four years in order to control the power of the spirit beast.

It didn’t matter whether it was true or not. Since they showed me the results at the birthday party, I have no choice but to believe it. Rumors can spread even if only three people gather together. The hidden story of the reclusive Confucius will become a rumor that will change my opinion among the counts and vassals who are attracted to me.

When we talked to some extent.

“My son has changed since we came back from Terrarin Lake a few months ago.”

The Count got to the point.

He explained why he thought his son had developed the talent of a spiritualist.

“As a comrade who stood on the battlefield with Duke Reinberg, I clearly remember what a spiritualist is. As if the forest was alive, Karant started talking to the trees, receiving flowers and greetings, feeding the pond without crucian carp, and whispering in the wind. Just as Duke Reinberg tamed the great lake spirit, he must be seeing something.”

Lord Karant, son of the Earl.

Count Schwarzen firmly believed that his son had become a spiritualist.

“The maids even said they ‘saw’ a mysterious creature in Karant’s room. So, wouldn’t it be Youngsu?”

As I listened to the Count, I felt something strange.

Isn’t it so easy to see these guys called Yeongsoo?

“Lord Karant did not attend the dinner.”

“I’m sorry. Ever since he returned from a hunting trip to Terrarin Lake, he has been confined to his room and rarely comes out. Still, after hearing what you said, he deserved it. I was really worried, but I’m glad. Just as you endured four years of seclusion, his son may be practicing his own way just like you.”

… It’s old.

“It was really right to invite you. As a senior, I will teach his son well. “If you need anything, I’ll support you.”

The Count asked him to wait a little longer. I waited for Karant, feeling an inexplicable sense of discomfort.

“oh! “You’re here, Karant!”

Karant appeared only when the dinner was over.

A young boy came late and sat next to the count with a sly smile.

Karant was a boy with beautiful blue eyes and blonde hair, just like his father.

In particular, the large, ocean-blue eyes were very impressive. handsome. Her elegant and sophisticated appearance was worthy of attracting the attention of noble ladies.

“I see you, Confucius.”

f*ck.

It certainly must have seemed that way to others.

But slowly, something else began to appear in my eyes.

I hid my hands under the table.

I didn’t want my fingers to be caught slightly shaking.

Karant, the late son of Count Schwersen, is the one he cherishes.

With the face of a ferocious beast.

It was the devil.

“Nice to meet you, Lord Karant.”

I smiled and greeted him.
