I'M JUST GOING TO STOP BY YOUR HOUSE FOR A MOMENT, OKAY~?! ...YOU'RE NOT GOING TO KILL ME, RIGHT? AT THE SAME TIME. YOUR GRACE. A LETTER FROM COUNT NORBERT HAS ARRIVED. HE SAYS THEY FOUND A SURVIVOR ON TERIDANA BEACH AND ARE CURRENTLY PROTECTING THEM, AND HE WANTS YOU TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO WITH THEM. Hmm... IT'S ALREADY BEEN A WEEK SINCE THE VILLAGE WAS DEVASTATED BY THE DARK MAGES' ATTACK, SO TO HAVE A SURVIVOR TURN UP IN SUCH AN UNEXPECTED PLACE... IT'S SUSPICIOUS. DON'T WASTE TIME WORRYING AND GO QUICKLY. I'LL SEARCH EVERY CORNER FOR THE WHEREABOUTS OF "THAT PERSON." KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. I'LL BE BACK SOON. ONE YEAR AGO. THE DARK MAGES, WHO HAD DISAPPEARED WITHOUT A TRACE FOR 400 YEARS, REVEALED THEMSELVES IN THE "REMART CONFLICT ZONE." THE AREA WAS IN THE MIDST OF THE WAR BETWEEN KADEA AND TENASIS, HOWEVER, WHEN THE DARK MAGES CAME, IT WAS REDUCED TO RUINS IN AN INSTANT. THE DARK MAGES CONTINUED ATTACKING VARIOUS PARTS OF THE CONTINENT... AND JUST ONE WEEK AGO, A VILLAGE BESIDE TERIDANA BEACH IN THE GRAND DUCHY WAS ATTACKED BY THE DARK MAGES AND WAS COMPLETELY RUINED. A SURVIVOR APPEARING AFTER A WEEK IN RUINS WHERE NOT A SINGLE SURVIVOR HAD BEEN FOUND. IF THAT PERSON IS CONNECTED TO DARK MAGIC, WELCOME, YOUR GRACE. THEY WILL NOT LEAVE HERE ALIVE. THIS BODY REALLY ISN'T VERY STRONG. Get up already. His Grace, the Grand Duke will be arriving at the castle soon! oh my, miss~! You look quite pretty after washing up! My hands were itching to do something, so it's great that such a pretty miss came along~ Hehehe! TO THINK I'M THIS EXHAUSTED FROM SUCH A MINOR ORDEAL. STILL... THAT MEANS I'LL BE ABLE TO SEE HIM SOON. THAT HANDSOME FACE OF HIS. SO THAT MAN IS CADRIAN BALLOT. AH... YES, THOSE EYES. HE REALLY... HE REALLY IS THE GRAND DUKE. BUT WHY DOES HE LOOK SO... WH-WHY?! WHY IS HE COMING CLOSER?! COULD IT BE... DOES HE KNOW ME? WHAAAA???? WHAT'S GOING ON? I CAN'T MOVE MY BODY! HANDCUFFS, TOO? HANDCUFFSS~??! WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU DOING? IS THIS HOW HIS GRACE TREATS A POWERLESS GUEST?! YOU WENCH! HOW IMPUDENT. YOU DARE SPEAK TO HIS GRACE LIKE THAT?! STAY OUT OF THIS, OLD MAN! O-OLD MAN?! DIDN'T YOU HEAR IT FROM THE KNIGHTS? I DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING. BESIDES, IF I HAD THE ABILITY TO ESCAPE, I WOULDN'T HAVE COME TO THE GRAND DUKE'S RESIDENCE IN THE FIRST PLACE. THEN WHY ON EARTH ARE YOU PUTTING HANDCUFFS ON ME?! ...THOSE HANDCUFFS AREN'T ORDINARY HANDCUFFS. THEY ARE A DIVINE RELIC THAT FORCIBLY SUPPRESSES "SUPERNATURAL ABILITIES." WHAT? THEN THE MORE... ?! YOU... TO FALL HELPLESS TO THOSE HANDCUFFS... IN OTHER WORDS, IT MEANS THEY REACTED TO THE SUPERNATURAL ABILITY INSIDE YOUR BODY. YES, FOR INSTANCE... DARK MAGIC. THIS DAMN GRAND DUKE...! IF YOU'RE AS HONEST AS YOU CLAIM TO BE, IT WOULD BE BEST TO CONFESS EVERYTHING HONESTLY. YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO LEAVE UNTIL YOU STOP USING THE EXCUSE THAT YOU'VE LOST YOUR MEMORY AND REVEAL YOUR IDENTITY. OLD MAN, I ALREADY TOLD YOU EARLIER, DIDN'T I? I DON'T REMEMBER. I HAVE NO MEMORIES. SO... YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR NAME OR WHY YOU WOKE UP ON THE BEACH? YES. NOT EVEN WHERE YOU WERE BORN? YEEES. YOU'RE SAYING YOU REALLY DON'T REMEMBER A SINGLE THING? Ah, Yes! I told you I don't! YOU COLLAPSED EARLIER, YET YOU CAME HERE YOURSELF TO INTERROGATE ME. WHAT A LOYAL BUTLER. IT'S ONLY NATURAL FOR A RETAINER TO DO SO. AND TO CORRECT ONE THING, I'M NOT A BUTLER. THE GRAND DUKE'S HOUSEHOLD CURRENTLY HAS NO BUTLER. WELL THEN, I'LL COME SEE YOU AGAIN TOMORROW. THERE'S NO BUTLER? A GRAND DUKE'S HOUSEHOLD? WELL, WHATEVER. IT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS FOR NOW. WHAT I NEED TO THINK ABOUT RIGHT NOW IS THE "SUPERNATURAL ABILITY" INSIDE MY BODY... WHAT ON EARTH COULD IT BE? IF IT'S DARK MAGIC, AS THE GRAND DUKE SAID, IT'S REALLY OVER. THAT MEANS MY HEAD WILL BE CHOPPED OFF BEFORE I CAN EVEN ESCAPE, LET ALONE START MY SECOND LIFE. RATHER THAN LETTING THEM FIND OUT WHAT THIS SUPERNATURAL ABILITY IS, IF I COULD ESCAPE FROM HERE... HERE, YOUR MEAL. NO, WITH THIS BODY, IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT EVEN TO TAKE ON ONE OF THOSE GUARDS. UNLESS I HAD "AURA"... AH! RIGHT, AURA! IF THE SUPERNATURAL ABILITY INSIDE THIS BODY IS AURA, THEN IT'S POSSIBLE! IF IT REALLY IS AURA, HOW LONG WOULD IT TAKE TO REACH MY FORMER LEVEL? NINE YEARS AGAIN? NO. I'VE ALREADY CLIMBED THAT TREE ONCE, SO THE SECOND TIME SHOULD BE EASIER. I HAVE NO INTENTION OF STAYING IN AN ENEMY COUNTRY FOR LONG. TWO YEARS. WITHIN TWO YEARS, I'LL SHAPE THIS BODY BACK INTO THE CONDITION IT WAS IN DURING MY PRIME AND RETURN TO THE SIDE OF MY LORD, SERHIN. I WILL GO BACK TO THE TENASIS EMPIRE, NO MATTER WHAT! ONE WEEK LATER. TO THINK THE PRIEST CAME JUST WITHIN A WEEK, IT MUST BE THIS URGENT TO HIM THEN. NOW, LET'S CHECK YOUR SUPERNATURAL ABILITY. PLACE YOUR HAND ON THIS ORB. THIN SOUP FOR ALL THREE MEALS A DAY FOR A WHOLE WEEK... THE GRAND DUKE'S HOUSEHOLD REALLY HAS NO MERCY FOR PRISONERS. ## See also - [WebtoonLib — Undercover Butler to the Grand Duke #2](/series/undercover-butler-to-the-grand-duke-joq1g3yb/chapter-2-2g8ds9) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/undercover-butler-to-the-grand-duke-joq1g3yb ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
