Chapter 64: Beautiful Tecnique (1)

The fluffy eyelashes moved slowly. His bright blue eyes looked strange. Even the flushed cheeks, was he really a man?

Arthur removed his hand from Count Farsh. Instantly he felt goosebumps looking at that beautiful man's expression. Well, although during his time as Kang Seongje there were many expressions like that, but this was a man, bro!

Count Rubel approached the two of them after seeing Arthur's face showing an unpleasant expression. He immediately spoke to Count Farsh. "Count-nim, where are we being taken?"

This time, Count Farsh seemed to flinch. He immediately apologized and explained, "Ma-sorry. I intend to take you to my garden for tea."

"Eum... Ex-excuse me, Young Duke-nim. A-are you used to a skin care routine? A-are those products from Heonith City? I-it seems that your facial skin face is very healthy and b-beautiful." Count Farsh nervously said that.

Arthur looked at Count Rubel who was also looking back at him. He could not grasp the meaning behind Count Farsh's question. "Hmm... The Rudolf Household buys the best grooming products from the capital as I recall. Would you like me to give you a recommendation?"

Count Farsh's eyes lit up. "Y-yes! I'd love to. It's the first time I've seen a nobleman have such healthy skin even though they mostly work and stay up late."

That man immediately invited the two of them to continue their journey to the park. Arthur asked Count Rubel without speaking, saying Count Farsh was really a strange man.

Count Rubel whispered, "As I said earlier. Count Farsh likes things that are beautiful and lovely. Perhaps he saw your... beautiful face."

Before feeling the wrath of Arthur, Count Rubel first caught up with Count Farsh. Arthur wanted to throw the shoe he was wearing at Count Rubel's head, but he decided against it rather than get into trouble.

Arthur caught up with the two men and overheard a bit of their conversation. Apparently, they were interested in the mining business but couldn't get started.

They entered the garden, which was too luxurious for the noble size of a count. There were statues that obviously only one person had made. Statues of past kings, royal crests, horses and several four-legged animals. Everything was white without the slightest stain.

As they walked, there were a few more surprising things. Several small trees with different shapes. They were neatly arranged like a statue as well. Very beautiful, that was the word that came to Arthur and Count Rubel's mind.

Even some of the foliage channels formed a tunnel in the place they crossed. At the end, there were tables and chairs for tea.

Count Farsh felt a jolt of something and said, "I'm sorry. I forgot that I was taking some of my workers off work. Therefore, there is only the butler and a few servants and footmen who can be counted on the fingers."

No wonder Arthur felt the place was too quiet. He said it was fine and took his seat, followed by Count Rubel and Count Farsh.

Count Farsh suddenly took out a magic bag and took out a teapot and a cup. There were also some desserts that seemed to have been prepared.

"I'm sorry if my ethics aren't right. Some of these desserts I made myself." Count Farsh continued to apologize with a flushed face.

'He really is a loser.'

It seemed that Arthur and Count Rubel were of the same mind. Count Farsh apologized too much as if he could do no wrong.

Count Rubel even opened his voice. "It's okay. It's good for your own initiative. If we have the opportunity, you can ask me as your personal ethics teacher. It's not easy for a commoner to become a noble with his own talent."

Count Farsh fanned himself as if his face was on fire. He said, "Thank you, Count-nim, I will gladly call on you separately."

"In that case, can you explain why you dismissed some of your workers?" Count Rubel took the tea that Count Farsh had brewed after asking.

Count Farsh looked misunderstood and muttered, "Eum... is there a rat?"

"Huh? What do you mean there's a rat?" Arthur overreacted.

Count Farsh immediately panicked. "H-huh? W-what did I say? N-no! Young Duke-nim, I m-meant there was an intruder."

'That's the same thing for heaven's sake. Just changing the word to a more polite one.'

Arthur looked at Count Rubel who sighed. It seemed that their thoughts were again the same.

Count Rubel moved the cup away from his lips. He asked, "Then, what kind of intruder are you referring to?"

"I-it's... eum... there was a nobleman who told me that some of my products were auctioned off to an illegal auction in another kingdom. Said to be for... drug use." Count Farsh closed his eyes so as not to see the expressions of the two people in front of him.

Arthur was casual, but Count Rubel reacted. He whispered to Arthur. "What did that nobleman mean by telling him that news?"

Count Rubel looked at Arthur who was indifferently sipping tea. That man was also munching on the pastries he had picked up from the table. He finished one bite first before letting out what was on his mind.

Well, this time he wasn't going to act like a kind and generous Arthur.

"Wow, what a jerk that guy is. He made this beautiful Count Farsh-nim feel uneasy. What could that person be up to? Is it to threaten our beautiful Count-nim? What a crazy person." Arthur commented in an insolent manner.

Count Rubel wanted to warn him to behave like a good Arthur. However, Count Farsh's reply was completely unpredictable.

"That's right! That damn cow d*ck! I regret letting him get away with it. I should have cut that bastard's genitals into pieces and fed them to the land monsters. And I want to throw his body to the mad dogs!"

Cough!

Count Rubel coughed. He was choking on the tea he had just drunk. His chest felt hot from the choking. He didn't expect that even the beautiful Count Farsh would utter such immoral words.

Clap! Clap!

"Woah, that's really a beautiful poem. Count Farsh-nim, I thought you were a loser. I was wrong, my goodness! Who is that bastard you're referring to?" Arthur felt refreshed by Count Farsh's comment. Compared to some of the nobles who kept their manners, it seemed like Count Farsh was a perfect match for him.

"That bastard Rei Noland. That bad ass bastard put a spy into my house. I haven't found out who that person is yet. He threatened me to enter his faction in order to be protected-huh? I-I mean... eum."

Count Farsh's words were interrupted when he realized Count Rubel was there. He had forgotten that Count Rubel was also from the crown prince's faction.

Count Rubel who was still calming his chest commented, "Just continue. If there is someone else who can take Crown Prince Xavier's place, I will gladly switch factions."

"Is that right, Count-nim? Aren't you number one in helping His Highness clear his name in the central court?" Count Farsh looked astonished.

Arthur was also surprised that Count Rubel opened his cards like that. However, Count Rubel continued, "The more I defend him, the more the evidence comes out against him. It's like in a story, where a target who knows nothing is made a scapegoat, but because he doesn't know about any of the plans, the person who framed him is trapped."

Count Farsh immediately said 'Ah' and nodded in understanding, but there was something strange about Count Rubel's statement. "Isn't His Highness the only successor to the throne? Unless there are relatives who can ascend the throne—oh."

He looked between Arthur and Count Rubel who came together. It seemed strange that an aspiring high noble of a faction leader and another faction member came together, let alone to check the ledger regularly. Though there was no connection at all.

"You finally understand. Then, will this beautiful Count Farsh-nim, be able to fully support me to dethrone that person and also take your revenge on that ugly ass?" Arthur immediately attacked Count Farsh with his aim.

Count Farsh laughed widely. He was greatly amused. "Gosh, this is just as I expected! I feel a bit dissatisfied entering the territory of a neutral noble! If you can fight, then fight."

He continued, "Of course, Young Duke-nim-I mean, Future Prince-nim. I will support you fully. I only support beautiful things like you!"

Arthur felt Count Rubel looking at him with a pitying gaze. But he did not return it. He just smiled at Count Farsh.

Count Rubel said, "Well then, let's get on with your big book. Arthur, you rest first, you threw up in the carriage yesterday."

Just as he was about to dodge, Arthur felt someone poke his shoulder. It must be Kalypt. So, Arthur excused himself and let the two counts talk.

He walked alone through the tunnel. Only a few steps away from the table, but Arthur heard Kalypt's whisper.

"Miss Adhitte gave news for the first time."
