EP.83 The strongest maid in history (1)
The next gray magic tower lord, Resty.
She was climbing the stairs of the gray magic tower after a long time. She didn’t walk around with her head down like she usually did. There was some rustling here and there, but she didn’t need to listen.
I walked confidently. Raise your head and walk with your back straight.
If you climb the stairs with your eyes wide open, you will see the circuit engraved on the stairs.
Put your hand on the circuit and think of the hierarchy to go.
There is no level that the next gray magic tower lord cannot climb. Resty took a step forward, remembering the top, the floor located just below the hierarchy of elders.
“·····.”
Former class of the next Magic Tower owner.
This is the layer where the gray wizard Raniel’s office and personal laboratory are located. Naturally, there are no wizards guarding this layer.
‘It was said that the gray wizard had locked up all the important data.’
The locking circuit on each shelf sparkles.
These shelves cannot be opened without the gray wizard’s key. Resty walked around the lab, reading the numbers engraved on the shelves.
‘It is clean.’
This is a lab that suddenly gives me that thought.
Since the Gray Wizard left, no one has managed this laboratory. The laboratory remains as it was when he left…
‘Does it usually go this far…?’
It was clean enough to make you think that way.
Passing through the shelves that were so neatly organized that they were pathological, Resty stood in front of the A-series shelf.
‘You said A3, right?’
Third drawer of A3 line.
In front of the drawer, Resty took out a key from his robe pocket. This is the key I received from Professor Rania a while ago.
Hehehe.
Insert the key into the circuit of the shelf.
As soon as you turn the key, the circuit that locked the shelf is dismantled. Then, at some point, it ticks and feels like something is stuck.
I pulled the key and the shelf opened.
Inside the shelf was a paper bag and a rectangular magic tool with a circuit engraved on it.
‘···What’s this?’
The inside of the paper bag is full of encrypted documents. The rectangular magic tool with a circuit engraved on it does not seem to work even if mana is infused into it.
‘Is it broken?’
A thought like that suddenly occurred to me, but I quickly shook it off.
This is an item left behind by the Gray Wizard. That too, while asking Professor Rania for a favor.
‘An object made to be used later.’
There’s no way it could be broken this easily.
Resty narrowed his eyes and read the circuit engraved on the surface of the magic tool.
A platinum-colored halo flickers in the eyes.
In the illusion of floating circuits, Resty realized that there was a twist in the circuit.
‘Intentional twist.’
Draw a line over the twist.
After completing the modification of the circuit, the magic tool emits a soft light. He looks in that direction. The place where the light is heading is the gray wizard’s office.
It’s an office that must be heavily locked.
However, as soon as the light penetrated the office door, the locked door clicked open.
Resty entered the office.
The light emitted by the magic tool pointed to a sheet of paper neatly placed on the desk.
“···uh?”
The moment Resty saw the words written on the paper, he blinked. The document was full of quite shocking information.
-The gray wizard said that.
-If the elder behaves like an asshole, throw everything in that drawer in front of him.
Remembering those words, Resty lifted the paper.
“You can’t believe I’m throwing this…”
Resty laughed bitterly.
There was information in front of me that could shake the gray magic tower.
-···These are the results of my investigation.
-The evidence was encrypted and stored in a document in an A3 drawer. You will be able to interpret it by using the magic tool enclosed.
The document is concluded with such a phrase.
Resty, who was reading that sentence, suddenly tilted his head.
‘···Is this a font I’ve seen before?’
Feeling familiar with the English alphabet, Resty put the documents together in the envelope. As I was about to leave the office, a picture frame on the desk caught my eye.
There are two picture frames on the desk.
One photo appears to be taken between the gray wizard and Elder Rossel in their childhood.
And the other one.
‘···Who is it?’
This is a photo taken together of an unknown boy and a gray wizard. The eyes of the unidentified boy in the photo were dead.
Those are creepy eyes.
At least, those weren’t eyes looking at the same person.
2.
“what?”
Roselle looked up from organizing the curriculum in the mansion. He blinked and asked back.”

“You got to guard the first princess?”
“Yes, Master.”
“suddenly?”
“I guess the Fourth Princess recommended me. “He came to me right away and said that.”
“Um, um…”
Roselle touched her temple.
Who is the first princess? He is a special breed among special breeds, born with the temperament of a female leader. Although Roselle was not interested in or involved in politics, she often heard rumors about Princess Le Ruelle.
‘···Why on earth is he?’
Roselle drooled and opened her mouth.
“Are you okay?”
“They said I only need to stay by your side for about three days, so wouldn’t it be okay and not affect your work at the Academy?”
…Isn’t that what you’re asking?
The princess herself gave an escort order, so what big deal does the academy have?
“No, I’m not asking that….”
“yes?”
“No, it’s done. “If it’s okay with you…”
Roselle sighed.
In fact, it may seem pointless to worry. I wondered if he would warn me that the royal palace was a devil’s den where plots and schemes were rampant…
‘In the first place, I wondered if that would work…’
After a bloody battle with the wizards of the Magic Tower, this child became the next Magic Tower lord. I don’t know how to conduct myself, but I don’t think I’ll be bothered by dishonest politics.
‘furthermore···.’
Roselle glances at the student in front of him.
This is a child who hunted numerous giants on the battlefield called Demon Lord, faced disasters, and came back alive.
Not a magic cave, but a magic world.
It seemed unlikely that his advice would be useful to a disciple returning from such a battlefield.
‘Rather, I’m worried about the other side…’
Roselle cleared her throat and opened her mouth.
“Raniel.”
“Yes, Master.”
“Quietly, finish as quietly as possible.”
“yes?”
“It means don’t think like, even if it’s just one thing, if you make a mistake, you have to throw it all away.”
As if something had pricked him with those words, Raniel was startled and shook his shoulders.
‘Was it the right answer…?’
Roselle sighed deeply.
I feel like I’m sighing these days. really.
3.
The bodyguard of the 1st Princess Leruel.
When I thought about the mission I would be responsible for, a lot of things on the battlefield came to mind.
‘There were very few enemies assigned to escort missions, I guess?’
I guess so.
The warrior party I belonged to used to be operated like a separate unit. As we roamed the front lines, we rarely received escort missions.
‘That in itself is a huge loss.’
Being tied up in one place is a loss in itself. There is nothing to say about it if it is an escort mission.
‘I don’t know if it’s a rescue operation.’
Still, we were assigned an escort mission only once. Because it was related to the ancient lich, Skebal.
Perhaps, from what I remember, it was the mission of protecting the cardinal of the Delohim Church, maintaining the sacred barrier.
Skebal, who had given up on breaking through the barrier from the front, branded the residence of the cardinal who maintained the barrier and attempted to invade.
‘To protect the cardinal from that invasion.’
That was our mission, or more precisely, my mission. Because it was easier to deal with Skebal alone.
‘It wasn’t even a fuss.’
I smiled bitterly as I recalled what happened back then.
It was an extremely tiresome task to fight off the circuits that filled the hallway, the endless barriers that attacked, and the demonic beasts that surged from the demonic beast summoning circuit.
At that time, I had to stay up all three days and nights.
That crazy skull was attacking me day and night, even though I couldn’t sleep.
‘So, I guess I was nervous about escort missions after that.’
As a bonus, my annoyance with Skebal also increased greatly. The next time I met Ske Val on the battlefield, I dumped his skull on the ground and ran straight through his camp.
‘Anyway, you f*cking skull bastard.’
I gathered my thoughts and let out a short breath. We were already close to the castle. I didn’t head straight to the royal castle.
‘Because this is not where it was delivered.’
I headed to the place written on the note I had received in advance.
-There are only two people she can trust.
There were two people waiting for me there.
-One is my escort knight Rugland.
“Are you here?”
-The two are the head maid, Sarline.
“I will guide you.”
The place they were waiting for was a place I was familiar with, and a place I could enter.
‘The royal library.’
As soon as Princess Leruel found out that I had a pass there, she took advantage of him. The head maid and guard were waiting in the library, which had not yet opened.
“This way.”
I walked after them.
As I walked along the dark passageway, wondering if there was a place like this in the royal castle, I arrived at a certain place.
“The princess is waiting.”
They pointed to the door.
When I opened the door, a musty smell wafted out.
It is not a proper reception room.
It was a place that looked like a storage warehouse, but a person who didn’t fit in at all greeted me.
“Are you here, professor?”
1st princess Leruelle.
She sat down on the oak barrel and waved at me. As I blinked at her, she smiled bitterly and continued her story.
“I wanted to rent a reception room, but there were a lot of things in the palace that became my brother’s eyes and ears, so I chose this place. “You understand.”
Saying that, the princess held out to me the clothes she had placed next to her.
“Take it.”
“···What is this?”
“Just take it.”
I tilted my head, looking at the clothes that had been pushed around. When I looked at him as if asking what this was, Princess Le Ruel opened her mouth.
“I told you, didn’t I? “There are many eyes.”
“yes.”
“So shouldn’t we disguise ourselves?”
She pointed to the clothes in my arms.
“These clothes are for that purpose.”
The princess nodded as if it was okay to open it. I unfolded the clothes in her arms.
The clothes I unfolded were neat.
It is a black-based outfit. If you look at it up to that point, it wasn’t that strange of a piece of clothing… but the moment I saw the white cloth that came with it, I realized.
What kind of clothes is this?
‘This is so cool…’
Isn’t this a maid uniform?
Anyone can see that the white cloth is an apron. When you wear this together, you can clearly see what it will look like.
I slowly raised my head.
As I look in front of me, Princess Lruelle smiles.
“For three days from today, you will be my maid’s maid.”
She snapped her fingers.
“Because it will be easiest that way to meet the main lady up close and to move around the villa as you wish.”
That is correct.
That’s true, though.
‘Are you asking me to wear this?’
There were clothes in front of me that I didn’t want to wear even if they beat me to death. I put on these clothes and imagined myself carrying a teacup.
“oh···.”
An exclamation of exclamation came out of nowhere.
‘···Should I hit him?’
I seriously thought that way.
