I Tamed the Male Lead Who Would Kill Me

The luncheon was such a mess.

Father left to talk to mother, and Elene went back to her room.

If my father was a proper businessman here, he shouldn't send back the Gruane Merchant Stock and the Yeriel Merchant Stock.

The Marquis of Gladellis has a very gentlemanly image. In a family like this, a maid commits an act of infidelity, and it's not enough to tamper with the things of the lady serving, having an affair with the marquis!?

There was nothing good about this story leaking out. Even so, the father issued an order to celebrate the two upper lords and followed his mother's heels.

Well, it's not that I don't understand.

My father received considerable help from my mother's parents' side. So you'd better appease her mother.

I headed to the room with Celtron, who had been given a congratulatory order by my father, and Yeriel, who introduced herself as Ciel.

Ciel's expression when he saw the location of my room was unusual.

“You live on the first floor.”

At Ciel's words, Celtron tilted his head with an expression asking what the problem was.

The Gruan family certainly had a great upper house, but if you ask them if they are a prestigious family, it is not. Being called a colossus is a thing of the past, and being famous only for the top ranks means that it ended up being a 'merchant'.

I mean, I'm not an aristocrat.

So, Celltron probably didn't know anything strange, but it didn't seem like Ciel.

I was a little embarrassed, but pretended nothing was wrong.

"yes that's right. I live on the first floor. Unlike other families who live on the third floor.”

Ciel's expression shook at my words. That's right, our marquis' residence consists of a total of three floors.

On the first floor, there are rooms used by the main servants such as butlers and maids, banquet halls, dining halls, and lobbies such as halls.

The second floor consists of a guest room where guests can stay, a drawing room, and a space where the history of the family is displayed. Father, mother, and Elene's rooms are on the third floor. My father's study is also on the third floor.

This wasn't just our marquess' residence, but nobles' rooms were usually on the top floor.

In short, it is nonsense that my room as the eldest daughter is on the first floor. It was only then that Celltron also bit her mouth tightly, as if she had noticed something strange about her.

Upon entering the room, Ciel's expression became more serious.

“Don’t you have a dressing room?”

"yes that's right."

Usually, the bedroom of an aristocrat is connected to the bathroom and dressing room. But instead of a dressing room in my room, there is only one closet next to the bed. The dress inherited from Elene and the few pairs of shoes were all there.

The location and structure of my room exposed the situation I was in.

When Susan guided her to the old sofa right in front of the bed, Ciel burst out laughing.

“… … under."

Finally, she couldn't stand it.

“What kind of life are you living?”

Ciel spoke without even sitting down.

“I knew that the Marquis of Gladellis was a different person from the image shown. But how, jeez... … !”

Indeed, Yeriel is the master of all things.

Everyone has no doubts that they trust their father, but they alone have penetrated the essence of their father! However, I did not show that I was meekly moved.

Even though I was able to get rid of Betty thanks to her, that doesn't guarantee that she's on my side.

I smiled moderately and offered a seat again. Ciel sat down on the sofa with a puzzled look on his face.

Susan brought tea, and I raised my glass first and said,

“Thank you for taking such a difficult step today. Actually, I didn't expect that the owner of the upper house would visit me in person like this.”

“Don't talk like that. In fact, I wanted to come to the Marquis de Gladellis at least once.”

“If I had expressed my intention, the Marquis would have invited me.”

At my words, Ciel said with a light smile.

“I don’t really like fake favors like that. They don’t like the gaze full of desire, which is clearly what they want.”

It was poignant.

My father insulted me in front of me, but I didn't even refute it. This was the best hint I could give her about my predicament.

That's enough for them to try to find out information about me, and figure out that I'm an illegitimate child.

When I took a sip of tea without answering, Ciel changed the subject on his own.

“Aren’t you surprised?”

"yes?"

“Did you know that I am a wizard?”

I could feel Ciel's dark eyes looking at me alertly. She was looking at me with a triumphant face.

As Ciel said, I knew she was a wizard.

It wasn't important in the original work, but it was mentioned once or twice. The fact that she can easily obtain the Siren magic potion that she directly manages in the imperial castle, and the fact that she can operate the 'Yeriel All Things Merchant' in the first place. All because she is a wizard.

Not just a wizard, but the master of the Wizard Tower.

What should I do?

I pondered for a while.

Are you going to tell me that you know all about her identity? So, make Ciel on my side?

It was a tempting thought, but I shook my head inwardly.

No, this is not a very desirable method.

Ciel is the owner of the mage tower and also the owner of the grand prize. She is not sitting there in vain. She would be more hostile than interested if I told her that I, who was only 7 years old, knew all about her.

That's when I was about to say I was surprised.

"Come to think of it, I've heard a lot about the Marquis's daughter."

Ciel tapped my chin with his black nails and opened his mouth. She looked at Celltron for a while and then said with a smile.

“I heard that you knew the secret of the Gruan family that even the upper lord of Gruan did not know.”

It seems to be talking about druids. I nodded my head politely without denying it.

"yes that's right. I was glad I could be of help.”

“May I ask how you knew? That’s information that even the upper management didn’t know about.”

For an instant, she saw her eyes widen.

'Did you really find out?' There was a doubt that

It was a very brief moment, but it was clear to my eyes.

This mind-reading ability, which suddenly developed after returning, catches even such a small gap. So I was able to answer comfortably.

“Didn't the lord of Grouan tell you? It is information that I found out by comparing it through books.”

“It’s a book.”

Ciel's expression became subtle.

'I'm not asking that, you know?' I read the thoughts intact.

I swallowed a laugh and said.

“My hobby is reading. I learned about it while reading about the history and legends of each family. I did a comparison just in case, and it was just me.”

"So it's a coincidence?"

"Yes. Otherwise, how could I have discovered the legend and truth of the Gruan family?”

At my natural words, Ciel's expression became more subtle. She was just about to say something.

“Thank you for coming and helping me today, but I have no obligation to give you the answer the Lord of Mercy wants.”

I looked straight into Ciel's black eyes and smiled.

“We haven’t signed any partnerships yet, have we?”

So, if you want to hear the story of our marquis family through me, you should make a justification for it. A look of interest crossed Ciel's face. It seems that you are interested in my curious words.

She said.

“It’s an alliance, you mean the Gladelis Mercenary?”

However, the opponent is indeed the master of the magic tower, but also the master of the grand prize. It seems that he has no intention of giving according to my will.

The fight continues to the point where the palms are sweaty and slightly tired. To be honest, I also had a little fun. It's because I know the general background of the opponent through the original work, and I can read all the facial expressions. However, I had no intention of continuing this war of attrition.

I had a lot of work to do.

I said with a smile on my face.

“No, it’s me.”

"yes?"

"It's not the top of the Gladelis marquis family, it's me, Latia Gladelis."

Ciel gave a slightly puzzled look.

“But isn’t the lady already at the top of Celtron?”

They seem to know that I am Tiana Amethyst.

"yes. But my real name is Latia.”

“That means… … .”

A light of realization flashed across Ciel's face. She smiled, raising her red lips seductively.

"I know. let it be The daughter of the Marquis of Latia Gladelis.”

Ciel must have realized this.

If Ciel wants to know the truth about the Marquis of Gladellis, I'm the best helper to help him. And now I've given her a way to use me.

As long as he forms an alliance with me, Ciel will be able to find out the details of the Marquess.

It seemed that she wanted to find out what the Gladelis Mercenary had done wrong. Something like an immoral act of preying on small groups.

Also the target owner. If you have a chance, don't pass it by.

Ciel said.

“I’ll try to bring you the partnership agreement soon.”

“Then thank you.”

“Oh, you know that when you sign the first contract, we give you a free pass to earn your trust, right?”

"Ah yes."

I took one look at Celltron and nodded to Ciel.

“Think about it.”

Ciel said in a confident voice. But the answer to this has already been decided.

The other day, through Celtron, I thought of asking the top of the world to find out what Pirori really is.

I was prepared to spend a lot of money, but is it necessary?

"it's okay. I already have something in mind.”

When I stretched out my hand, a Pirori flew by. I showed the Pirori to Ciel and said.

“I want to know the identity of this bird.”
