97 – Mecca Johann

Viet returned to her parents’ house after splitting up her busy time for her older brother. But she wasn’t a person with a lot of free time.

Viet Leoris

As the owner of the meteor magic tower, she was one of the most promising wizards in the capital. The next Mage Tower Lord was a prize winner, and as a member of the Leoris family, he was an associate member of the Continental Mage Tower Council.

Receiving people’s expectations means being busy at the same time. Viet, a typical workaholic, lived a day like two.

There were a total of three research projects she was working on at the Mage Tower, all of which received full support from the Mage Tower.

Every time she spends a day aimlessly, the magic tower loses nearly 10 gold. Just looking at this, I could tell how big a person Viet was.

“Stupid brother. At times like this, she can bend her ego a little.”

She’s like that.

It was natural for Viette’s mouth to pout.

“Really, I don’t like all of them. In my family, there is no one more decent than our cute Sarah.”

She was a grouchy Viette, but it didn’t make Ralph’s attitude unintelligible. She wondered if the situation had been the other way around, would she have gotten Ralph’s help herself?

At this question, Viet shook her head.

People from the Leoris family have high egos. Of course, this applies to most nobles, but the Leoris family was special.

People from the Leoris family had a strangely high level of ego related to knowledge. When Ralph Leoris wrote his masterpiece, The Healing, he didn’t get help from anyone.

“I can’t believe my foolish brother understands. I am also a member of the Leoris family.”

Morning a little past mealtime.

Viet was waiting for her guest to visit her family.

“Sarah. The acquaintance your classmate talked about is coming today, right?”

Feeling the fragrant aroma of tea on the tea table, Viette cast her gaze at Sara. Sara has been restless since before.

“Yes. He said he would come today.”

“Hmm~ Well, my friend’s thoughts are imaginary though. Because he said he would help.”

“Isn’t it?”

“Yes. However, keep in mind. We are nobles We are the helping side, not the receiving side.”

He raises his head stiffly, straightens his back elegantly, and gives a lecture on noble etiquette to his nephew, who has not yet been able to bite it.

“We are the great nobility of the giving hand, the giving one, and the respected position. If you wear the crown of great nobility, you should act accordingly.”

“Yes….”

“Well, it might still be a bit difficult for Sarah. Today, take a good look at this aunt.”

“My lady. A guest has arrived.”

The butler announced the arrival of the guest at good timing. Viet rose from her seat with a languid smile. It’s her turn to show off her cool side in front of her nephew.

“Okay. Then, shall we treat our guests?”

“Aunt Viette. I’ll go.”

“No, I’m going to issue an order to celebrate, but I have to go myself.”

Viette moves her steps to the front gate of the mansion with smooth and graceful steps like a noble lady with experience.

Sarah’s heart grew even more impatient when she saw her.

‘What if Yohan is disappointed?’

When John first offered to help him, he was honestly overjoyed. Because until now, no one had offered to help him.

Of course, it was because the Leoris family was not in a position to lend a helping hand. As Aunt Viet said.

Nevertheless, Sarah was glad that John was giving her a warm helping hand. Does it feel like you have a shadow you can rely on?

She knew full well that John’s help would not be of much help. No matter how great John is, it is Ralph Leoris’ thesis. Still, it was an overthinking that John’s acquaintances would understand and correct the thesis that even he himself had not properly understood.

Nevertheless, he received John’s help because his heart melted his own.

‘If Yohan is disappointed by this…. Could it be that he keeps his distance from me?’

John Baker.

She is the noblest daughter of a great aristocratic family, and she is one of the few beings who treats herself without hesitation.

Lately, she’s had other friends like Arsha Sword Horn and Sierra Grimkeeper, but John was still special to Sara. Without John, she wouldn’t have been able to make other friends like she does now.

When you think about it, it’s a fateful encounter. During the entrance ceremony exam, she accidentally chose the same test center. There she met by chance, and happened to see one side of him.

‘John-kun had the ability to make people around him feel touched.’

People gathered around him. It’s not just because he’s handsome. He had a strange charm that attracted people.

“Aunt Viette! Also, think again….”

From noble mtl dot com

“Hello. Welcome to Leoris Mansion. Are you an acquaintance of Sarah’s friend?”

Before Sarah could finish her words, Viet threw a welcome greeting at the man standing in front of the mansion.

“By the way, the outfit is a bit unusual. If you hadn’t told me that guests were coming, the butler would have kicked them out.”

“Sorry. I have a complex with my face.”

An acquaintance of Johann who visited Leoris Mansion.

He was wearing an old brown robe and a white mask on his face. It was clear that the unpleasant voice that sounded like noise had been altered with magic or magic items.

“I came here at the request of Mr. John Baker.”

When a boy named John Baker recommended an acquaintance to help Sara, Viet’s feelings weren’t too bad. Because the action was in good faith.

Of course, the boy John’s behavior could have been a pretense to catch Sarah’s eyes. Even if that were the case, the sincerity of such a pretense against a great aristocrat was well worth appreciating.

However, Viet’s thoughts were shattered as soon as he saw the acquaintance.

‘A guy named John. By any chance, isn’t he a spy hired by the Bond family?’

To the extent that I feel that way.

To that extent, the attire of the person who visited Leoris Mansion was suspicious.

It wasn’t just that he didn’t suit the Leoris Mansion, it was that he didn’t fit in District 1 of the Royal Capital. If you go out at night wearing a costume like that, you will be questioned by the guards right away.

“Nice to meet you. Merrick… No, it’s called Mecha.”

“Mecca? I don’t want to say anything about the name, but it’s a very unusual name.”

“You say you have no intention of saying anything about your name.”

Mecha, a mysterious robe sitting on the other side of the tea table, replied deftly. It seemed that he was not at all afraid of the halo of the Leoris family. The sight of it left me speechless.

“Uh…. Are you an acquaintance of John’s?”

Sarah asked with a more restless expression than before. Sarah stuttered to persuade Aunt Viet in order to defend Johan, who gave her warm help, but…. I just couldn’t bring myself to defend this man. No, is it a man?

“Ms. Leoris. I have heard many stories from John.”

“John-kun told me my story?”

“Yes. When I met her, she only talked about Miss Leoris. John, it’s been a while since I’ve seen him so happy. His magic skills are outstanding, and his looks…. He said he was the best in the royal capital.”

“Really!? John’s…. Lol!”

No, thinking about it again, judging people based on their appearance is not something an intellectual would do. Lee Ja must be a good, kind, and righteous man.

I wore a mask because my face was a bit ugly, and I only wore a robe because the weather was cold today. It was the season when the days were gradually warming up and the clothes were lighter, but it was clear that this man was more sensitive to the cold.

“What else did John say about me?”

“Always kind.”

“Hey~”

“Always dignified.”

“It’s not like that~”

“The future of the kingdom..”

“Is that John~?”

“Over there, over there. Excuse me during a pleasant conversation, can I say a word?”

Viet broke colic during the conversation between Mecca and Sara. Sarah, with her face loose, corrected her expression, coming to her senses at Aunt Viette’s intervention. Seeing Sara’s change, Viet was convinced that her thoughts were correct.

‘We Sarah. After entering the academy, things got a little weird. As expected, I’d better drop out quickly and send him to the Magic Tower.’

A meteor magic tower with confidence should be enough to hold Sarah. Originally, Sarah was also interested in the Mage Tower, not the academy. In particular, the home of attribute magic is toward the meteor magic tower.

“Are you here to help us at the request of that boy named John?”

“Yes.”

Masked Nam nodded his head coolly.

“Thank you for your heart, but I will make it clear. This is the Leoris family business. No, it’s Ralph Leoris’ brother. Even I, his family, was rejected by my older brother.”

“Um…. A choice worthy of Sir Leoris.”

A way of speaking that seems to know Ralph well.

Simply, it seems that a real close acquaintance evaluates a friend, not a celebrity in the newspaper.

In that way of speaking, Viette felt a strange discomfort. Of course, it didn’t show. Because now is the time to show kindness and dignity as a lady of the Leoris family.

“Yes. So, go back. As long as you drink tea and sweets. Oh, by any chance, if you haven’t eaten, you can bring breakfast and go.”

He said that in a powerful voice that contained both the dignity and grace of a great nobleman. It was like a half-command, but a voice that made listeners follow it naturally rather than being offended.

The power of the liberal arts lessons she received as a lady of the Leoris family was unsparingly revealed.

It is common sense that when you say something like this, you should say ‘yeah~ I understand’ and step back.

However, the man in front of him was as devastating to his common sense as his outfit.

“Before I go, I want to see Lord Leoris’ face. Even if you are rejected, shouldn’t you be rejected by yourself?”

To think that he could carry out his demands so confidently against a member of the Leoris family.

Viette was more than surprised, and was in a state of absurdity. Was his own charisma weak?

He may have lost his dignity as a nobleman while he was locked up in the Lab of the Mage Tower. Originally, even charisma can become sharper when you hone it while meeting a lot of people.

“What I said, I didn’t understand at all. The Leoris family isn’t weak enough to lend a hand to you. Shall I be more direct? I don’t need your help Come back after you have a cup of tea.”

“Until I meet Sir Leoris, I will not drink tea.”

Stubborn. No, at this level against the Leoris family, it was not stubbornness, but obsession.

‘Could it be that the purpose is to meet my older brother?’

It was Viet who grew increasingly distrustful of this unknown masked man.

“Aunt Viette. Wouldn’t it be all right until we met?”

“Sarah. You know well. When studying, how hard it is to get back to your pace if you lose focus.”

“I know….”

“This is not an order to celebrate guests, but a warning. Get out now. I wasn’t going to bring in a suspicious person like you.”

Viette pours out straightforward words with cold eyes.

Sara waved his hand at Viet’s attitude and said.

“Ah. Mr Mecca. Please understand that Aunt Viet is a bit sharp. I would appreciate it if you could say thank you to Yohan-kun!”

“Sarah. What is that boy named John doing to such an extent?”

“That’s just an academy classmate!”

“Hmm. Just an academy mate. I will definitely tell John-kun.”

“Oh no! You don’t have to tell me that!”

Caught between Mecha and Viet, Sara covered his head with a tearful expression. I didn’t want this to happen.

“Anyway, I really want to meet Sir Leoris. I apologize for being forced.”

“You know it’s forced, but you have that kind of attitude…. It seems to be shallow.”

Viet opened her mouth, looking at Mecha with eyes as sharp as broken glass.

“I guess I should exercise my skills?”
