There are no Bad Transcendents in the World

“Daniel! It’s a big deal!”

“Grand Duke!”

Damon and Arsene stomped their feet and pleaded with Daniel.

Daniel just came out of the lab with the undead monsters and smiled as he stroked the heads of the children in turn.

“You’re not pretending to be in a hurry and then going out to have a snack together like last time, right?”

Daniel knows that two children sometimes pretend to be in a hurry to have a snack. But at this moment, Damon and Arsene were more urgent than ever.

“No snacks!”

“Lady Frey is purple!”

“Purple?”

Daniel got down on one knee and was at eye level with Arsene. Seeing the child’s blue eyes crying, it seemed unusual.

“Arsene. What color is purple?”

“Purple is the color that means you want to catch and eat it.”

Luke, who had been following Daniel for a moment, was startled.

“Catch… eat?”

‘It’s in front of the children.’

Luke whispered that to himself, trying hard not to let out a laugh.

‘This couple acted as if they were inside and outside, but in front of a child who could read their inner thoughts, it seemed that their true feelings were exposed.’

However, Luke couldn’t stop the subtle questions from coming out.

“Young master Arsene, who did Frey look at and think that way~?”

Daniel turned his head, thinking that Luke’s blatant stare was disgusting today. But inside, he was a little shaken.

‘I can’t believe Frey was thinking about me like that. Without Arsene with this ability, I would have passed without knowing…’

“Looking at that wizard man, it’s like that.”

“What?”

Daniel, who felt satisfaction, suddenly felt like he was covered in cold water.

‘Wizard? Did my wife think that while looking at Vikram?’

Naturally, the conversation between Vikram and Frey, which Daniel saw in the future, came to mind, making him dizzy.

[“I never thought this day would come…”]

[“Your ring suits you well.”]

‘If I let go of like this, I might have to watch Frey remarry another man after a divorce.’

Besides, the problem wasn’t just the colors Arsene read out.

“Your Highness. Her Highness Grand Duchess Frey asked me to order medicinal herbs secretly, so I stopped by for a while.”

Just in time, the butler Baron, Luke’s grandfather who had been receiving a list of herbs Frey ordered from Lina, bowed his head.

Daniel paused as he thoughtlessly read what Frey needed.

[Night houseplant]

‘If it’s a night houseplant…’

Luke, who was snooping through the papers after seeing Daniel getting more and more serious, gasped. If it’s a night houseplant, isn’t it a medicinal herb that men only use to cheer up on the first night of their honeymoon?

“Haha, Your Highness. I don’t think so. Her Highness the Grand Duchess, has been overworked lately, so she’s probably trying to take care of herself with tea.”

“.…”

“Oh, or something to add luster to the ore that will be sold at the Holt Merchant. They said that Aquarin has to be washed with Night houseplant and water to improve its luster.”

Luke hurriedly added, but that didn’t calm Daniel’s wavering eyes.

“Luke. Please take care of Damon and Arsene.”

Daniel forgot that he was holding the report and opened the moving magic circle.

Bang-!

Luke looked at the spot where Daniel had disappeared, then looked at the butler Baron.

“Grandfather. Does Her Highness, the Grand Duchess, really see someone other than His Highness?”

“Luke. As a descendant of the Divine family, to make a statement that doubts how outstanding the beauty of Grand Duke Prause is….”

“Well, His Highness the Grand Duke looks like that, so it would be difficult for someone else to catch Grand Duchess’s eye, right?”

‘If so, Lady Frey distances herself from the grand duke is a psychological reason.’

‘for a moment. Could it be because of me?’

Goosebumps ran down Luke’s back as he continued his thoughts. 

Wouldn’t any woman turn a blind eye to his beauty if they heard the ‘Daniel Prause promiscuous rumors’ he spilled so far?

Luke, who was born an Imoogi, had a reversal of personality, but he was affectionate and naive.

As soon as he thought that he had troubled his most respected lord and old friend, his heart began to beat.

‘What if Her Highness the Grand Duchess leaves the castle?’

* * *

“Well, as expected, it’s savory!”

Frey deliberately exclaimed loudly. Since she was the only one in the room, it was a voice telling the others outside to listen.

‘Because only I know the exact way to process Aquarin.’

Frey dipped the Aquarin in the suspicious liquid bubbling over the brazier and retrieved it. Gargoyle claws, various herbs, and mixed with divine power and Aquarin had a very clear glow.

Twinkle-!

‘No matter how you process a mineral like topaz, it will be difficult to obtain this kind of stability.’

Frey spent the whole day alone secretly purifying Aquarin, then called Vikram.

Vikram sighed and covered his nose.

“eww… What is this nasty smell? Was it true that you were working while drinking strange tea?”

“That’s it. Would you like to drink?”

She held out to him the liquid she had been pouring into her teapot and cup. Vikram desperately shook his hand.

“The Grand Duke Prause’s castle provides an overflow of delicious food, but this kind of unknown drink is a bit much.”

Vikram’s reaction was somehow funny, so Frey burst into laughter.

“Okay. It’s better to work, right? Today, you can apply luminous magic to this Aquarin processed in a special way.”

And, beyond the door, someone heard her laugh with a confused face.

‘Is it fun being together?’

It was Daniel. 

After hearing about Frey’s true feelings from Arsene, he blew the whole day away without doing anything. So, Daniel came to Frey’s office to share what he had learned about undead monsters.

It was uncomfortable for Daniel to hear Frey talking to Vikram while laughing.

Tok-tok!

Daniel didn’t wait any longer and knocked on the door.

“Frey. I stopped by because there was a noise in the office late at night. I think it’s a little dark outside to work.”

Frey opened the door and was a little surprised.

‘No, why are you saying that with an expression like a divorced man with a story?’

“So you’re holding that report late at night?”

Daniel, who had nothing to say, quietly walked in and stood leaning against the bookshelf.

‘That’s a processed Aquarin, and Vikram seems to have been brought here to cast luminous magic.’

‘She could do it herself by putting on luminous magic. No, it would be much faster and more accurate to seek help from me, a transcendent than a human wizard.’

Daniel’s gaze at Vikram was not good.

‘Hey, even the transcendent dragon, who has nothing to envy in the world, is jealous?’

Although Vikram only felt a new academic curiosity in his gaze.

“Vikram. I need to talk to Frey ‘between couples’ for a while.”

Daniel kicked Vikram out with his virtuous face and tone.

Then, he walked over to Frey, who was looking at the Aquarin lined up on the tray. It was a natural movement like flowing water.

“It looks like you did a great job processing this jewel.”

“Daniel. When all of these are sold, it will only be a matter of time before we take over the Vliette Merchant for sale, Right?”

Frey’s voice was clearly excited.

If she took over the upper ranks, she would be getting closer to her goal, so Frey’s cheeks were reddish.

‘Thinking she met Vikram with such a face made my heart feel like it was boiling.’

Daniel asked, standing behind Frey and caressing Aquarin.

“Do you want me to do it for you?”

Since Daniel stood behind her and reached out, Frey felt like she was being held in Daniel’s arms. His hard chest touched Frey’s back and smelled neat and cool.

“Putting the luminous magic on it.”

“….”

Frey pursed her lower lip and nodded quietly. It was clear that her voice would tremble like a sheep because of the low voice in her ears.

Daniel spread his hands with Frey in his arms. His light purple magic drew a delicate magic circle. Even to Frey, who was not familiar with it, his magic was on a different level from others.

‘Pretty. It’s like watching a magic show.’

Soon, the magic circle turned into powder and was sucked into each Aquarin.

Watching Frey for a while appreciating the silver-purple magic filling up the transparent jewel, Daniel opened his mouth.

“Frey.”

The hand that had created the magic circle was wrapped around Frey’s waist. Feeling the warmth of her body, Frey had no choice but to hold her breath.

“I want you to need me more than your new wizard.”

Frey’s ears tickled whenever Daniel spoke, with his head slightly lowered. When his breath touched her downy hair, Frey’s heart throbbed uncontrollably.

“Especially at such a late hour as now.”

“Daniel…”

Frey swallowed dryly. She didn’t know if the heartbeat she felt somewhere was Daniel’s or her own.

“No matter how or when you use it, I will be better than that man.”

Frey could tell just by looking at his face reflected in the Aquarin. Daniel Prause was clearly jealous of Vikram now.

“So if you want to catch and eat it, you have to covet me first.”

“….”

“It’s me, your husband.”
