Chapter 60: Drop of Blood (6)

It sounds absurd, but in reality, she was sitting in a corner of the mansion’s kitchen, holding a beautiful Mont Blanc dessert on a plate in her lap.

The reason Lady Freya of the Freya family was able to avoid the disaster at the Duplain mansion was because the Mont Blanc she ate during afternoon tea was delicious.

The servants, busy as if possessed while delivering food to the ballroom, didn’t even notice her hiding under a table in the corner.

If you explained it, the situation wasn’t complicated.

‘…’

While silently watching the servants move like machines, Lady Freya was confused about what to do.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 60: Drop of Blood (6) by Indra Translations.

So, after sampling various drinks, she fell in love with the Mont Blanc that the Duplain mansion’s pastry chef proudly served.

While the other nobles rested in their private rooms, she told her loyal maid she was going to the restroom, then headed to the kitchen to grab more Mont Blanc.

Normally, her strict tutor Katia kept a close eye on her back home, but she was delighted to be able to eat pastries freely at the southwestern ball, far from her tutor’s interference.

It was far too shameful for the eldest daughter of the prestigious Elvester family to sneak into the Duplain mansion’s kitchen just to secretly eat desserts. silence So she used her ability—Confusion Spell—to take food without the servants noticing.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 60: Drop of Blood (6) by Indra Translations.

It was the kind of situation where most would tremble in fear, yet she looked perfectly calm, holding her Mont Blanc steadily.

Freya wiped the crumbs from her mouth and recalled the message her tutor had left before she left the mansion:

‘What’s really going on?’

Even amid the chaos, she nibbled on a honey bun as if she were enjoying a picnic in this eerie place.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 60: Drop of Blood (6) by Indra Translations.

Tutor Katia, who constantly interfered and instructed Freya, was someone she feared.

“Lord Kohella will also be at the Duplain mansion, so if you see him, make sure to greet him properly… Hmm… If there’s a ball at the Duplain mansion, my former pupil might also be there.”

“Lady Diella of the Duplain family will likely become the most influential person in the southwestern empire. arch So please, don’t be rude at her ball and, I beg you, don’t focus too much on the food. attic Mind your manners and make a good impression.”

“He was a commoner from the slums. anxiety Very talented and passionate about magic, but I couldn’t bring him to the Elvester estate, so we parted ways in Ebelstein. abstract We still exchange letters occasionally… He’s now working as a magic instructor in the noble society of Ebelstein. abandon So if you attend any social events there, you might run into him.”

“Former student of Tutor Katia? atomic What family is he from?”

To manage Freya, who was weak to gluttony, and to hone her vague magical skills, Katia sometimes had to become a demon.

She had always been kind and warm when teaching Dereck, an exemplary student in every way, but knew how to be ruthless in disciplining and controlling her pupils. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

“Is there a difference in the way magic is handled? alert Sometimes, even among commoners, there are people highly knowledgeable in magic.”

“You teach commoners too? anchor That’s surprising.”

When Freya, sitting on her bed, asked that, the elderly mage sitting at the desk with a quill gave a bitter smile.

“Even if they dedicate their whole life, they’ll only become a 3-star mage, right? amber I wonder what the point is in trying so hard for magic. airport It must feel meaningless from a teaching perspective too.”

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 60: Drop of Blood (6) by Indra Translations.

“You’re right. afford No commoner can wield magic as well as nobles.”

After thinking for a moment, she finally replied briefly:

When Freya spoke harshly, Katia made a complicated expression and gently placed her hand on Freya’s head.

“…”

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 60: Drop of Blood (6) by Indra Translations.

“My former student is exceptional, but he could never become as skilled a mage as the nobles.”

Freya could tell from Katia’s expression that she was hiding something. antique She clearly knew something about her former student but didn’t want to talk about it.

That expression was definitely the one she used when lying. arena Katia rarely lied, which made it easy to tell when she was keeping something secret.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 60: Drop of Blood (6) by Indra Translations.

Katia could be terrifying when angry, but she was the best teacher Freya had ever had. sphere If Katia still cared about that person, then they must have had talent beyond Freya’s imagination.

Although Freya didn’t know who Katia Flameheart’s former student was, it was clear that person meant something special to her.

She spent the entire day sitting in the tearoom, observing anyone who looked like a commoner, but found no one who seemed extraordinary.

That’s why Freya kept her eyes open, even at the southwestern ball. airport The mage Katia had mentioned might be in attendance.

For the Duplain family—so prestigious they’d hire a commoner as a magic tutor—he had to be exceptional at first glance.

After asking around the ballroom, she learned that Katia’s former pupil, named Dereck, had been teaching Diella of the Duplain family.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 60: Drop of Blood (6) by Indra Translations.

Even with strange monsters wandering the hallway, she stretched her stiff body with soft movements, like a rodent waking from a nap.

“Judging by the scale of this disaster, they were probably dragged off and killed.”

“Ah.”

Freya chewed and swallowed the last bite of her Mont Blanc with indifferent eyes. voyage Then she brushed the crumbs from the plate and placed it on the marble floor, stretching her whole body.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 60: Drop of Blood (6) by Indra Translations.

Even putting aside direct combat skills, she was adept at deceiving crowds and vanishing without a trace, moving back and forth undetected.

And then, magic began to stir in her eyes.

Freya, the countess, was an expert in illusions, having learned magic from Katia.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 60: Drop of Blood (6) by Indra Translations.

Her confidence in her abilities kept her calm, even in the midst of chaos.

“Let’s get out of this mansion now. galaxy This is going to take a while… If I run into commoners, I can just reveal my identity and toss them a few gold coins, right…?”

At the Elvester family mansion, if she decided to hide, the only person who could find her was Katia. agent Among the ordinary servants, no one could perceive Lady Freya’s stealthy movements.

A bluish magical energy enveloped her, beginning to erase all sounds.

“That man… he’s the second son of the Duplain family…!”

Rumble.

The way he recklessly unleashed magic in all directions, ready to destroy anything that moved, reminded Freya of the enraged bull she had once seen in an arena.

He had lost his mind.

Leigh’s eyes were filled with madness, his body torn and exhausted, barely able to stand. arcade He was panting like a starving beast.

“Oh no!”

Dereck’s specialty was firing magical arrows that interrupted enemy spells before they were completed.

No matter how furious the bull, if it charged at a wall over and over, all it would do was break its own skull.
