Duke Garnett

Chapter 1 - 1 Juwell

After Estelle…. no, ‘Juwell’ dissapear, two characters appeared near where she was before.

“Is it here, your Majesty? Where you feel the ‘darkness’?”

“Yes, I definitely felt it.”

It was a young man with silver hair and pale green eyes.

Very soft and beautiful appearance.

His metal glasses gave an intelligent feeling. He was a man who seemed to have come down from an angel of heaven. The silver-haired man said seriously,

“There must have been a great dark appearance around here.”

"But..."

A young man with a fat impression, the silver-haired man's conversation partner, looked up at him.

“I can't feel any traces of darkness.”

Even after washing his eyes, there was no trace of darkness at all.
But that didn't mean he couldn't ignore the words of the silver-haired man.

Grand Duke Youthnan.

Because that was the identity of this silver-haired man.

Surprisingly, this beautiful silver-haired man was the Supreme Court of the Empire, the leader of the family of six dukes, and the house of Grand Duke Peridot of ‘Brightness’.

The Grand Duke Peridot is the guardian family that has been protecting the empire for 300 years.

This is what the head of the Peridot family said, so it couldn't be overlooked.

“That's weird. The Grand Duke must not have felt it wrong.”

A young man with a fat impression, Count Median, the vassal of the Grand Duke, tilted his head.

Grand Duke Youthnan touched his glasses. It was his habit when he was worried.

"It's my mistake or not."

The Grand Duke contemplated for a moment and then said this.

“It must be a strong darkness that avoids my sight.”

Count of Median think it was absurd.
“No way such darkness could will exist in the world….”

“It seems likely to be my mistake. I think I was just nervous and sensitive.”

Sensitive.

That being said, Count Median asked heavily.
“Three years ago, are you still blaming yourself for that 'day'?”

Grand duke Youthnan shuts his mouth.
"...I have no choice but to blame myself?"

A crushed groan flowed from his mouth.

“She died just like that.”

Count Median sighed low.
“That day, it was not the fault of the Grand Duke that you can’t prevent Saint Estelle from being sacrificed to the darkness.”

However, the comfort of that was not able to appease the heart of the Grand Duke Yoithnan.

He said after being silent for a while.
“Do you know how much I missed her?”

“.……”

“It's been 10 years. I've been looking forward to seeing her for 10 years. But..."

The Grand Duke Youthnan is one of the people who was favored by her as a saint.

10 years ago. No, it's been 3 years since she died, so 13 years ago. Grand Duke Youthnan was a young boy. The days when Estelle was also still young. Grand Duke Youthnan was greatly favored by the young Saint Estelle.
