Chapter 366

There were two reasons why Harriet was reluctant to tell me the details of the conversation.

One is because, no matter what happens, it will end up cursing your friend’s parents.

Second, I was afraid that I would be hurt upon hearing those words.

After returning to the Temple, Harriet and I chatted in the Magic Research Club’s mansion, an empty laboratory.

Harriet was invited to breakfast.

The people there were the Duke of Grantz and the Duchess.

Duke Grantz said that he looked embarrassed, perhaps not knowing that Harriet would come to the breakfast table.

Of course, Harriet, who was invited to breakfast alone, would have been even more embarrassed.

“Just what… … . In the beginning, they asked me about how my parents were doing and whether they had any plans to come to the ecliptic.”

It seemed that the Duchess had many questions about Harriet de Saintoine, the daughter of the Archduke, not Herriet, a Temple student.

Harriet was hesitant, hesitant about whether or not it was okay to talk about it.

“and then… … . All of a sudden, he says he’s not sure if the temple life is really good… … . You said something like that… … .”

“What are you talking about?”

“In the temple, commoners also receive education. therefore… … . When it comes time for nobles and royalty to get married later, what happened at the temple remains a scandal… … . Originally, it is unwritten rule not to talk about such things. Rumors circulate behind the scenes… … . Who said what happened to who, this, you know… … .”

ah.

I understand what you mean.

“So, since you can enter Temple if you have money, you said that if kids from noble backgrounds stick together with this guy or that guy, it might get in the way of getting married or something in the future, right?”

“W-what are you talking about! Seriously real!”

When I expressed it too nakedly, Harriet’s face turned red and shouted.

However, when I expressed it rather harshly, Harriet slumped over the table as if in desperation.

“anyway… … . In other words, you are right. Just because you’re from the temple, whether you’re a man or a woman, when you’re looking for a marriage partner later… … . There are situations in which it is difficult to be treated properly… … . This is it.”

Harriet’s pigtails, as she said those words, were scattered on the table.

cute.

“Is this the ransom price?”

“Mo, ransom?! Your expression is really… … . Still, I have to agree. Yes, the ransom is going down. So, if you’re a decent lady, it’s better to have a tutor than to be well-groomed and educated in a temple or something with people of low origin… … . That way, you can find a good marriage partner later. You said this… … .”

“A couple fighting?”

“that’s right… … .”

Duke Grantz exploded, and the Duchess and the Duke fought in front of Harriet.

That’s why Duke Grantz said he was sorry. I left it in front of my daughter’s friend for no reason and showed the couple fighting.

Harriet must have been quite uncomfortable, as being from a humble background would have been an insult to all of her friends who came to hang out after all.

It’s not something to say to my friend’s parents, but the Duchess seems to be a great person who doesn’t have the level of culture to match her pride.

“Anyway, you know why I didn’t want to talk about it, right?”

“… … It is.”

As a result, it would inevitably become gossip about my friend’s parents, and I didn’t want to talk about it because it might hurt me by talking about being from a humble background.

“To be honest, I don’t know.”

Harriet sighs heavily.

“Looking for your value in others, who did you marry, and what kind of person am I seen in the eyes of others? Caring about these things and living a life for them… … . Yes, as you said, the ransom. You only care about your own ransom. If that’s the right aristocratic behavior.”

Harriet sees me.

“How is that different from slavery?”

If you care too much about your ransom, you end up wanting to commercialize yourself.

A lifestyle in which I have to behave and live modestly without hanging out with lowly things in order to find someone who will buy me more expensive.

Harriet says she doesn’t know how that differs from the life of a slave after all.

“I don’t think my worth comes only from myself, but it doesn’t come from anything else either. so… … . a little. It was uncomfortable.”

oops

“Oh wow, this is so special. When did the kid grow up like this?”

It’s so unique that I want to bite it, but this?

Harriet’s eyebrows twisted as I stroked her hair.

“Ah! What are you talking about again! am i a kid don’t do it!”

Harriet screamed as she straightened her tousled hair.

“Last year at this time, the kid who told Ludwig that it would make him feel bad when a B class came into the A class dormitory, but it’s a big deal if this has happened.”

“!!!!”

At my words, Harriet’s face was so red that she felt like she was about to melt.

If you can say with your expression that you want to die because you’re ashamed, it’s probably a girl.

“Well, don’t talk about the past… … . That, and that’s not to say whether you’re an aristocrat or a commoner… … . profit… … . mo, i don’t know fool. I hate you. Gee, how do you even remember that… … .”

In the end, Harriet poked out and muttered, as if she had nothing to say.

He is fatally cute today. What do we do? Is this what happens when you judge that you have nothing to say?

The Duchess’ attitude was of course disapproving, but it wasn’t that strange.

Rather, such a way of thinking can be taken for granted for those who have been treated with dignity throughout their lives. In fact, there are many royal families and nobles in the temple, but the setting is that there are many people who do not enter the temple because they hate the fact that they have to be educated with commoners and there is no higher position.

So, there were rather a significant number of nobles who held the same position as the Duchess of Grantz.

In fact, Harriet was doing this because she was ashamed of what she had said in the past. Originally, she was a guy who divided people according to their talents and status.

If I hadn’t forced immunity training, he would still be that kind of guy.

“To be honest, the nobles and royalty around me were strangely kind.”

“huh? suddenly?”

“No, that’s right. No matter how much the Temple says it’s forbidden to press down on people based on their status, they can actually do whatever they want to rely on their authority or status, but no one did that to me, right?”

At my words, Harriet stares at me with her mouth wide open.

“Hey, this crazy guy is really… … . Do you make that noise knowing how you’ve been doing at the Temple so far?”

I didn’t touch it because it was dirty. Harriet had been nagging me for a while, saying that you shouldn’t tell people around you that you’re nice.

This is not what the guy who used to swear and punch when he tried to press it was not what he would say.

No, it’s not about that.

“No, I’m not talking about that, other than that, there are adults.”

“Adult?”

“okay. your parents or something… … . Etc.”

The Archduke of Saint-Ouane said that status was meaningless because he would be in the same place anyway.

Bertus said that he was equal under him.

Charlotte also treated me comfortably as time passed for her own reasons.

Even Duke Grantz is like the man next door if you look at what he does honestly.

Even the emperor, of course, was someone who said that it could be because of the positions that Ellen and I had, but there was no need to show respect when alone.

So there was no arrogant and self-respecting aristocrat like the Duchess of Grantz around me.

no.

I did.

Like Erhina Heinrich.

Heinrich became nice after being hit by me a few times, and after seeing Erhi being hit by other kids, he became distorted on his own. No, how many times did Erhi get hit by me? Had she completely forgotten?

hmm… … .

Harriet wasn’t wrong.

All of those guys did something to me.

Since the Duchess of Grantz was said to be the epitome of an arrogant aristocrat, I questioned what I had taken for granted until now.

“By the way, didn’t Liana really care about her status in the first place?”

“hmm?”

Liana de Granz.

It gives off an atmosphere that is difficult to approach in the first place, and it is because of the cold impression.

In reality, he’s easy-going and doesn’t have anything to do with being shy, he’s a guy who sees people as they are and treats them as they are.

He even dragged the death penalty with him during the festival.

“That was… … . I guess.”

If Rihanna dislikes or rejects someone, it’s because she dislikes that person, not because of that person’s background.

The aristocrats around me, students and parents alike, didn’t say anything about my status to me, so I took it for granted.

Treating commoners calmly like Duke Grantz was a rather unusual case.

Even if Riana pretends to dislike her father, it is clear that she was influenced more by her father than her mother.

A father who treats everyone openly, a nobleman’s manner and pride, and a mother who values ​​authority.

Between the two of them, she resembles her father, so Riana has such an easy-going and easy-going personality.

now the last

One last step remains.

“When couples fight, what do they say to each other?”

“Why do you keep asking me about that?”

“They say the most fun thing in the world is watching a fight. And that proud ducal family also fights with their spouses, aren’t you curious about that?”

“No one cares about that! You are really evil!”

Harriet mumbles in tears as if she won’t be able to win against my vicious questions and prompting.

Harriet sat in a seat she didn’t want to be in, but she has a good memory after all.

“just… … . The duke said that status cannot be human… … . He said that thinking and treating people that way leaves no one around. As for the wife… … . You are the epitome of the nobles who go to temples and get ruined… … . like that… … .”

It was mixed with unknown sounds, but this made it clear.

The duke must have gone mad when he saw his wife, who had no daughter at breakfast, brought her daughter’s friend to join her at breakfast, and forced her own thoughts.

Anger causes loss of reason.

Identity cannot be a person.

That word says it all.

Duke Grantz would have joined the revolutionary forces.

* * *

three days later

“He is thorough.”

I was listening to Sarkegar’s report in my dorm room at the Temple.

“how much?”

“Couldn’t your assumption be a guess… … . To the extent that I think so, I haven’t found anything.”

At my instruction to investigate Duke Grantz, Sarkegar immediately went into action.

He wouldn’t be able to enter a place that was overly well-fortified, but the Duke of Grantz wasn’t that far.

However, nothing was found to prove his connection to the revolutionary forces.

“If he is really involved, I guess time will tell… … . If you’re that thorough, you won’t even leave evidence of anything. Even the use of cryptographic correspondence cannot be discerned until the patterns and methods are recognized. Aristocrats use paper very often, so it is not known which of the letters and documents they write each day is related to the revolutionary forces. Even if you did, you wouldn’t know what was in the encrypted content. A very mundane letter asking how you are doing could be a coded letter.”

It was highly probable that Owen de Getmora’s last visit was for business rather than for the revolutionaries.

The reason why Duke Grantz might have been a revolutionary force was ultimately determined by various circumstances and Owen de Getmora, who clearly belonged to the revolutionary force.

If Duke Grantz is truly a revolutionary force, it means that he is a very thorough person, unlike the impression of a handsome next-door neighbor.

Sarkegar could not find any physical evidence.

“However, I think the judgment of deterioration is certain.”

“why?”

However, Sarkegar agrees that Duke Grantz is a member of the revolutionary faction.

“I, too, am stepping into Imperial society under the name of Count Argon Ponteus.”

“I guess so.”

“It is a scandal known to all who know that Arthur de Granz, the current Duke of Grants, had an affair with a commoner woman he met at the temple.”

“ah.”

The epitome of a person who went to the temple and ruined his life, is that what you meant?

“So, how did it go?”

“If he finally managed to escape, he couldn’t be the Duke of Grantz.”

A commoner and love’s escape.

and fail.

“Isn’t it enough of a background to curse the very status and origin?”

Sarkegar, dressed in a maid’s uniform, smiles evilly, showing white teeth with a graceful and graceful face.

please.

Yeah, you know that expression makes us about three times more evil than we actually are, right?

Anyway, that means that now the Duke and Duchess of Grantz had an arranged marriage.

“Of course, Duchess Grantz was not originally that sensitive to status.”

“I don’t know, but the Duchess seems to be a big loser?”

I’m sorry, Liana.

But your mother is a piece of shit.

Oh sorry… … . sorry.

At my words, Sarkegar tilted his head with a huff.

“Come to think of it, Duchess Grantz also has a story. I have no choice but to be that kind of person… … .”

Perhaps it was because he had been living a noble life for quite some time, Sarkegar also had quite a bit of background knowledge about the physiology of socialites and nobles without prior research.

“Duke Grantz doesn’t tend to set foot in social circles, but in the case of the Duchess, it’s a little different.”

“hmm… … .”

“But, unknowingly, you have that label attached to you at every social gathering or party you attend.”

Sarkegar laughs grimly.

“The person whom Duke Grantz, who failed to escape from love, was forced to marry by the family.”

“A person who has no choice but to live in a failed marriage.”

“A person who is too lazy to receive love from her husband.”

“A terrible woman who coveted Duke Grantz’s prestige and risked a vulgar scandal to marry Duke Grantz.”

I was terrified when I heard it.

“She is an aristocrat who rose in status because Duke Grantz was literally a scandalous man. Originally, she was only the second daughter of a Han-American count family, without even a manor, and she only had a title. That is why she is a pitiful and foolish woman whose very existence has become a scandal.”

What she gained from marrying a scandalous man was the prestige of being Duke of Grantz.

However, rumors follow that she is despised in the social world and that she is a terrible woman who abandoned her dignity in order to rise in status.

Therefore, she had no choice but to become a person obsessed with the prestige of being the Duchess of Grants, which she had endured and gained.

He loathes the scandal terribly, but ends up ignoring the fact that he gained everything because of the scandal.

“How could such a marriage have been smooth?”

A duke who failed in his love escape and was eventually captured.

The duchess, knowing that the person was in such a situation, married a great nobleman and arranged an arranged marriage to raise her status.

The Duchess, knowing that it was a failure, became obsessed with the prestige and prestige she thought she had gained in one marriage. If she denies even that, she herself has chosen her own failed life.

The duke was forced to marry.

The fact that they had no children other than Liana would be proof that their marriage had failed. Is it fortunate that there is also Liana?

A duchess who has no choice but to obsess over her status.

The duke would have constantly pondered and cursed at such a duchess about what the status was.

Even from the Orbis class, which has been the cradle of revolutionary forces for a long time.

As Sarkegar said, there is no evidence, but there are too many circumstances.

Just as Charlotte had no conclusive evidence, but was convinced that Valie was the successor of the Demon King due to too many circumstances.

Due to too many circumstances, Duke Grantz could not help but join the revolutionary forces.

He had been thinking about Duke Grantz being a revolutionary force, but in the end there was no answer.

“good. In any case, whether or not Duke Grantz was really involved would be something one would naturally find out when contacting the leadership. What is their opinion about my not attending?”

“Even though it looked like it was regrettable, there was going to be a top-level meeting soon, and I was able to attend it. If the duke is the core, he will be there too.”

“good. Then everything will be clear.”

But in the end, possibilities are just possibilities.

In many ways, there was still nothing I could make hasty conclusions about, and even if I knew that Duke Grantz was a revolutionary force, it was still at the stage where it couldn’t be any kind of card for me.
