When Bellion talked about Delina’s ideal type, a hint of interest appeared on Noah’s face for the first time since entering. However, the subsequent answer was still indifferent.
“I’m fortunate because I have everything.”
Seeing Noah’s self-praise, Bellion, who had been holding Delina’s hand since entering, tugged her to get her attention. Then quickly, the door opened.
“Yes, did you call?”
Felik, who had been waiting outside, sensed an uneasy atmosphere when he saw Bellion’s serious face.
“I have something to ask.”
“Yes, please speak.”
“Between him and me, who’s more handsome?”
“…What?”
Felik, who was nervous, asked with a face that seemed to wonder if he misheard. But Bellion urged Felik.
“Quickly.”
“Uh, well…”
Felik rolled his eyes back and forth, looking at Noah and Bellion alternately. He quickly made up his mind and answered.
“Of course, it’s Your Excellency.”
If he had to choose between the master I serve and someone else, Felik’s answer was already decided.
“Just sitting quietly, your face radiates a glow! Just turning your gaze slightly makes countless women swoon over Your Excellency’s looks! Even if you wear a mask, the problem is that the mask can’t properly fulfill its role because your handsomeness oozes out beyond the mask.”
Felik praised Bellion’s appearance more fervently than anyone else. Bellion nodded contentedly.
“Go out.”
“Yes. I should quickly go out. Even now, I feel like my eyesight is getting worse because Your Excellency’s appearance is too dazzling. I should probably buy glasses soon.”
Until the end, Felik did not spare compliments. Of course, as soon as he turned away, he grumbled and muttered about his miserable fate.
“I should retire really quickly….”
Felik, who left the room with noticeably tired shoulders, became more confident. As he left, Bellion raised his head as if satisfied. Noah just smiled.
“Always a loyal assistant, no matter when I see you.”
“Keep him around because he’s honest.”
With Felik’s tearful appearance praise, the atmosphere naturally changed. Bellion, who took the paper with him, asked.
“Do you know what information is contained in this?”
As if hinting at the value of the information, the paper envelope was securely sealed. Noah replied.
“I didn’t hear what the request was about, but I have a rough idea.”
The Diamon family was extremely strict about keeping secrets. Edwin and Noah also did not tell each other what they were commissioned for. That was the principle. Noah didn’t hear anything about this request. However, Noah could guess which information this was related to.
Celine Ulfiprim.
It was a name that couldn’t be unknown in the social circles lately. Noah had also met Celine and had a conversation with her at Rose Lip Mansion.
Although he didn’t feel the unique atmosphere of the Ulfiprim Grand Duchy, she certainly resembled Bellion in appearance. Noah didn’t know much else, but it was clear that she was a part of the Grand Duchy.
‘If that’s the case, the information contained there would be…’
Information about Marion, Celine’s stepmother, or information about the village where she lived. Noah guessed it like that. Of course, as it was a principle not to talk about information lightly, Noah did not mention what he thought.
“…Okay.”
Bellion, who replied briefly, began to tear open the paper envelope. Seeing that, Noah stood up as if to give him space.
“Then, I’ll take my leave.”
Bellion didn’t specifically stop Noah from leaving. He simply focused on the paper spread out in front of him. The paper, adorned with the emblem of the Diamon Duchy, was densely filled with the contents of Bellion’s commission.
Although detailed information about the damage caused by the fire in the village and the number of casualties was written, what caught Bellion’s attention was something else. It was the text written at the very bottom.
Bellion silently continued reading the unfolding contents.

The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
