Capturing Heroines as a Fatso young Duke?!

Chapter 32: Heroine Profile Check

Sevi headed back home, his mind buzzing with the day's events.

'It felt weird having a skinship with a girl.' Sevi thought, the brief skinship with Noemi still lingered in his thoughts.

However, the memory of Carla knowing so much about Noemi—her dorm, her room number—soon took over his mind.

'Better hurry up and ask Sir Cedric more about Carla,' Sevi thought as he quickly sped up his walking towards his room.

Once he arrived at his room, Sevi immediately approached his crystal ball. The glowing orb responded to his touch, flickering to life. With a focused thought, Sir Cedric's image appeared.

"Nice timing young master, I have news about Kane's recent movement." Cedric said.

"Kane? Continue." Sevi replied, remembering that he asked Cedric about Kane a while ago.

Sir Cedric nodded, his expression serious. 

"Kane has been engaging in some rather suspicious activities lately. It seems he's been seeking out forbidden knowledge and associating with individuals who have ill intentions."

"Like the Dark guild, Vehemos." Sir Cedric added.

"...Vehemos? What do they do?" Sevi asked, not familiar with the said guild.

'Guilds also exist here huh.' Sevi thought, remeniscing his memories as a guildmaster in one game back on Earth.

"Vehemos is the top dark guild known for its dark and dangerous pursuits. They specialize in forbidden magic, ancient curses, and manipulating powerful artifacts for their own gain." Cedric explained, his tone grave.

'Kane got entangled with a suspicious group, tsk as expected of him.' Sevi thought.

"But for some reason, Kane wasn't able to enter the dark guild's tavern again." Cedric continued.

Sevi raised an eyebrow. 

"What do you mean he couldn't enter again?"

"The dark guilds often have strict entry requirements. Kane was denied access after his initial visit, likely because he failed to prove his worth or align with their interests." Cedric said as he sighed. 

'ughh, so many things to investigate. Anyways I should ask for an investigation about Carla.' Sevi thought, recalling his earlier concern.

"Enough about Kane, sir Cedric. I need you to investigate Carla, my classmate. She knows too much about Noemi—her dorm, her room number."

"Noemi mentioned that only beastmen knows about their dorm and Carla is a human." Sevi continued.

 "That is indeed peculiar. If only beastmen are supposed to know about Noemi's dorm, then Carla having that information is highly suspicious." Cedric said as his expression became more thoughtful.

"Exactly," Sevi said. 

"It doesn't sit right with me... I need to know why she knows this and if she poses any threat to Noemi or anyone else."

"Understood, young master. I'll start the investigation right away and gather all the information I can about Carla." Cedric nodded firmly.

"I'll try to gather enough info by tomorrow morning." Cedric continued.

"Thank you sir Cedric. You're such a big help!" Sevi replied, feeling a bit more at ease knowing that Cedric was on the case.

'Cedric is a much bigger help than the system at this point tbh.'Sevi thought, remembering how the system only gave out missions without offering any direct assistance during those missions.

Cedric replied cheerfully, "It's my duty and honor to assist you, young master. Rest well, and I'll have the information you need soon."

As the image of Cedric in the crystal ball faded, Sevi felt a sense of relief.

"Now that the weight is off my mind, I should go take a bath," Sevi muttered as he looked over his shirt that was dirtied due to his stumble earlier during the training with Noemi.

He changed into a fresh set of clothes and made his way to his private bathroom, a luxury afforded to him as the son of a duke. Although it was a private bath, given the medieval setting, it was quite basic—featuring a small tub and simple amenities.

The tub was filled with warm water, and a rough scrub was placed nearby. Sevi lowered himself into the tub, the warmth providing a welcome relief from the day's exertions.

"Huuuu... taking a bath after a workout is the best!" Sevi muttered, letting out a contented sigh as he sank deeper into the warm water. 

The soothing heat of the bath eased his tired muscles and helped him unwind from the physical exertion of the day.

As Sevi relaxed in the warm water, he reviewed the profiles of the heroines.

"Lady Cressida Everheart..." Sevi mumbled.

'I haven't seen her since that last eventful tea party... Prince Croh is always the one who forces them to come to our house, maybe Prince Croh is too embarrassed to come back? Haha,' Sevi thought, remembering Croh's little snack incident.

He then considered another thought.

'Even the protagonist, Prince Carion, I haven't seen him. If I could get closer to him, it might open up more opportunities for growth and challenges,' Sevi thought, still prioritizing fighting above all else.

He then turned his attention to Noemi's profile. 

"Ohh.." His eyes widened in surprise as he noticed the updated information.

The profile, which once had been sparse and filled with question marks, was now detailed and expansive. Sevi's eyes widened as he read through the new information.

"This is quite a change," Sevi said to himself, amazed by the new depth of information. "It's like I'm finally getting a clearer picture of who Noemi is. Her likes and dislikes, her struggles with her fox form—these are all important to understand her better."

"It seemed like pestering her for God knows how many days was worth it." He chuckled and went out of the bath. 

Sevi dried himself off and returned to his room. He sat down at his bed and turned his attention back to Isolde's profile.

"Isolde Winterborne," he muttered as he brought up the profile.

Noemi's profile had been a pleasant surprise, but Isolde's was still shrouded in mystery. Sevi was intrigued, especially since Isolde seemed to be affiliated with the prestigious Celestial Academy, the school he is currently attending.

"Let's see what we have here," he said, scanning the details.

"A half-elf?"

" It's unusual to see someone with her background in such a high position, especially in a world where hybrids often face discrimination. There must be something exceptional about her." Sevi muttered, thinking about reasons as to how she became a Vice President even though she's a hybrid. 

He leaned on his bed, contemplating.

"I haven't had the chance to meet her yet, but it seems like her role here in this academy seemed to be significant." 

"I've always wondered what it would be like to fight against an elf," he mused, the corners of his mouth curving into a faint smile. 

"I would love to fight against Isolde."
