As he had every day since his duel, Viscount Schmenivsky had gone to the imperial palace to seek an audience with the emperor.

“You have to understand, that man is a werewolf! A demon who’s come to destroy our noble empire!”

I sighed and pretended not to hear him. My master had assigned me to both protect and keep an eye on the viscount. I had spent a long time serving my current master, because I owed a great debt to house Doneiks. Which was why I was currently standing here listening to the Count of Slaughter prattle.

Occasionally though, I did wonder. Were the viscount’s claims truly nonsense? During the duel, I had served as the viscount’s second. Lord Veight’s movements had been extremely polished, and unbelievably quick. They’d been the movements of a fighting master.

But what had truly terrified me was what I’d seen when I went to inspect the grounds after the duel. I’d found traces of footprints being carved into the hard-packed ground. Whether in sword-fighting or in boxing, one needed to kick off the ground to put any force into their lunge.

Just how much force had Lord Veight kicked off the ground with to leave such deep footprints? My fist could fit neatly into one of them. Lord Veight’s strength was immeasurably immense. Had he struck the viscount directly with all his might, the viscount would have died. The fact that he hadn’t meant that this visitor from Meraldia had found the duel so easy he’d even been able to hold back.

This foreign gentleman warranted utmost caution. Naturally, I’d reported as much to my master as well. I was expecting a return message from the Doneiks manor soon.

Just as I thought that, I heard a faint knock at my door. I ignored the viscount, who was still going on about Lord Veight being a werewolf, and walked into the hallway. Waiting outside was the Doneiks family’s personal doctor, and two assistants/guards.

“Lord Doneiks is worried about Master Schmenivsky’s health and has ordered us to provide him with medicine.”

So the same as usual then. Though I wanted no part of this, I still accompanied the two men. I felt as though I had to at least fulfill my obligations to the viscount. The doctor bowed politely to the viscount.

“Master Schmenivsky, my lord has requested that these ‘painkillers’ be delivered to you.”

The viscount paled.

“Wh-What do you mean?”

The doctor took a small vial out of his bag and poured a few clear drops of some liquid into it.

“Go on, drink this. It will put you to sleep for a while, but when you awaken, your pain will be gone.”

However, the viscount shook his head.

“W-Wait... Why are you doing this to me... It’s not supposed to...”

The doctor’s two assistants grabbed the viscount and pinned him in place. Both were skilled warriors who I’d trained myself. Meanwhile, the doctor grabbed the viscount’s jaw and, with practiced movements, wrenched his mouth open.

“Baagh! Aaagh!”

Even as the viscount was screaming, the doctor poured the vial’s contents down his throat.
