Blood Of Platinum
Chapters 354. Midford residence bag. 5
- Stuck…
There was a knocking on the door. Once opened, it was the waiter who came to bring snacks and tea to the three people who were sitting in a separate room with the Earl.
“Thank you” Lucas said to the waiter
Given the food treats that Lucas and Mark had not previously eaten, the new food also seemed to be untouched by him. Although, that attitude was not shown by the two nobles.
Unlike the two, Diaz-Gemini drinks tea and eats the treats on the table.
For now there is no sentence that will be issued by him, but the sentence thrown by Mark is enough to make the atmosphere tense again.
“I didn't know that Earl could have a half-elf co-worker at master” level
-claak
Diaz-Gemini who was still holding the cup and the small plate in his left hand slightly jolted. Mark's sharp eyes became a highlight for him.
Not because of that sentence alone, but those fiery red eyes were a sign that Mark's magic was active right now.
“So, how long has Earl been and you been that close? To the point of being able to interfere in such a private affair?”
Mark did not give Diaz-Gemini any chance at all. Apparently, he was already emotional. Or maybe he just wasn't happy because of the previous incident.
Diaz-Gemini tried to calm down and put the cup in his hand to the table. A friendly smile was shown as proof that he had calmed down.
“Me and Earl just got to know each other. But it seems, we already have a match in the business we live”
“Hmm, what business?” ask Mark back
“Something not so important to the Marquis all of you. But take it easy, this is not a big thing and it does not necessarily interest you both”
“Hoo~the more you say so, the more interested I”
“Ahahaha, Marquis Vermillion could have been”
Diaz-Gemini certainly knows that he is being watched by both of them.
‘They are really troublesome. But looking at them up close, I know how strong they are. Even so, if I'm serious.they're nothing but snot boys.’.
‘The main issue is to investigate their intention of accompanying Rexa van Houdsen. It's really beyond belief that van Houdsen's son wants to cancel his engagement to Lady’
‘It will be quite dangerous, considering Rexa van Houdsen is a candidate who can control Artifact and we intend to include it in our plan’
The silence of Diaz-Gemini is enough to make Mark ask him again.
“Have lost words?”
“I'm sorry. I just lack focus” Diaz-Gemini began to ask the two a little, “If you may know, is it as bad as the relationship between Rexa-sama and Lady Misha-sama?”
“Why do you want to know it?” ask Lucas
“I just think that all this time, the relationship between Misha-sama and Rexa-sama in the academy has been quite good and I think they are quite harmonious”
Mark smiled cynically, “You are quite funny apparently. Harmonious you said?”
“Interesting also heard others who have never seen firsthand the relationship the two can say easily that they harmonize”
“It looks like you are too hopeful for a relationship made without love and based on politics”
“Or are you really planning something?”
“......”
Diaz-Gemini could only remain silent. It was strange for him to hear that word.
‘What is this? It's like Mark trying to lure me’ he thought inwardly
Lucas didn't try to stop Mark at all this time and he used his other magic to look around the Earl's residence discreetly.
[Zero Area]
Magic that can know the use of magic in the entire area without being known by anyone. Lucas takes it out to detect the magic at Midford's residence.
Mark was aware of the magic active nearby, ‘That's Lucas and his [Area Zero] ya’ muttered inwardly
He glanced at the calm-looking Diaz-Gemini.
“Is there something, Mark-sama?”
“I just haven't received an answer from you before. Are you really planning something?”
“Something? That's not possible. What good is it that I planned something involving Earl and Rexa-sama”
Emily whispered from far away.
“He lied, Mark-sama”
“I know that, Emily” Mark replied in his mind
“In addition, near the room.Emily can feel that someone is watching you besides Lucas” magic.
“So. Thank you for telling me”
**
Elsewhere, Barbarossa and Evergreen who were activating her magic seemed to be sitting quietly in a separate room.
“Do you think they do not know that we are watching from here?”
“Even if they realize it, it doesn't matter”
It seems that both of them seem calm. The magic currently activated by the two is magic that can see objects from a distance. In addition, the magic could also hear what the object he saw said.
[Shadow Eyes]
That's the magic that Barbarossa and Evergreen are using now.
So far, they can hear and watch everything so that what Mark and Diaz-Gemini have said since being in the room is known to them.
“I know Mark Vermillion is indeed dangerous” Evergreen said
“That's because of the Artifact that was on him. Without that thing, he's just a regular boy”
“But, Barbarossa..Lucas Xelhanien who looks silent it also needs to be watched out. I feel he's also dangerous”
“I tau”
A sentence was heard by the two and it clearly made them pale.
“I want to know..are the two people who watched us from the beginning also your coworkers?”
- Deg
A mental attack for Barbarossa and Evergreen.
**
At the same time, Mark looked around and asked Diaz-Gemini.
“I want to know..are the two people who watched us from the beginning also your coworkers?”
This is what is meant by something unexpected happening. Mark unhesitatingly asked Diaz-Gemini about the figure watching from a distance.
Diaz-Gemini's face did not change, but it was a lie if he was not surprised.
“I don't understand what you said that, Mark-sama”
Mark looked at Diaz-Gemini with a cynical smile.
“I told you from the beginning that I was trying to be patient. I know that you're not Earl's co-worker like in general”
“If not, where there might be two people from a room not far from here who suppress their own magic and watch from a distance using her magic eyes”
“I should call you guys what? Undercover guard?”
“....” Diaz-Gemini clearly looks unhappy now
Lucas, also aware of it, chooses not to talk and leaves it all to Mark, who is already upset.
**
Barbarossa and Evergreen begin to deactivate their magic and catch their breath.
“What is this? Why would he know that?! Does Artifact have magic abilities that can detect other magic?!” evergreen asked with a panicked face
“I'm sure this is magic. There is another magic that we cannot feel. Just as Diaz-Gemini's magic can shut down all of us' personal information, the magic that the Artifact owner uses may also have the same nature”
“Cih! Troublesome guest base!”
**
Emily, who is in the Magic School Academy, tries to find out who is around the room.
“Emily can't see it. It must be the same magic as used on Galaktika and others”
“Mark-sama, the provocation is enough. Emily thinks it's time to strike out. Mumpung Earl and Rexa-sama are not there”
“Jangan” excites Lucas with his telepathy
“Lucas! But Emily feels it's the right time”
“Our plan is a mess because Mark is provoked by emotion, Emily. However, Mark is good enough in herding a young man named Diaz-Gemini to look panicked” explained Lucas
Emily was still silent and muttered inwardly.
‘Emily did not see the figure named Diaz-Gemini. Could it be he who used magic to cover a certain object as he pleased?’
**
In Rexa and Earl's room, there was another tension going on
