Duke, Please Repent! chapter 5

2. The Duke's Assistant (2)

Serpense, who had been laughing like that for a while, got up again as if he had calmed down.

Seeing him gently wiping his wet eyes with his fingers, he must have laughed so hard that tears came out.

'Is that so funny?'

Meanwhile, the old brown-haired maid brought cleaning tools. I approached to help too, but she saw

He insisted it was a human thing.

"By the way, today is the first day, how was it?"

I don't know yet. I haven't even started working properly.

"But have you met the people you want to work with?"

In fact, there are so many that I have no idea who is who.

'He's a memorable person... . About Hans, the enemy of lunch, and the maid over there cleaning?'

I should have brought a notebook and wrote down my name, but I didn't even have time to think about it.

there was no

If you need anything related to work, you can tell me at any time.

Then there...

As soon as I flew my luck, I waited patiently with an expression that I could tell you that Serpens was okay.

"Can't we eat and sleep here instead of commuting to work?"

I wake up early every morning and walk to the mansion, and I am not confident that I will cross this large estate and climb up to the 4th floor of the main building.

It's hard to go back right now!

On the other hand, what about living in a mansion?

You can sleep better too, come out every three o'clock, you won't get hit by a wagon while commuting alone!

'If it's a Korean workplace, you'd be told to work overtime if it's close to home and leave without notice on holidays... .'

Serpence is truly the fairy of Kalteu.

I often have to go out for a night drink without anyone knowing, and there's no way I'd like to have someone I have to stick around like an aide all the time.

In the first place, the guy who considers his aide cumbersome is probably only wearing it because of his dignity as a duke.

So all you have to do is work until dinner, eat dinner at a restaurant, crawl into a nearby lodging and rest!

What a perfect plan!

There is nothing that can't be done.

Serpens readily answered.

From what I heard, it seems that the former aide also lived in this mansion, and unless he had a family, he commuted to and from work more rarely.

But it doesn't seem like I'm ready today, so I'll tell the butler first.

Thank you. Then can I just leave work...?

Yeah, then go in.

As soon as Serpense's permission was granted, he bowed his head, bowed, and went out of the office.

'Should I buy some food from the open shop on the way... ?'

With that thought in mind, I looked away from the closed door and turned around.

A few steps ahead, I saw the maid from before walking around while curling up and holding a carpet that was taller than her height.

While talking to me, Serpens seemed to be glaring at me slightly behind me, and I think she was accepting me to say hello as she left.

'Did you just finish cleaning?'

It seemed dangerous to walk, so I quickly approached him and supported the carpet.

Upon closer inspection, he was holding a carpet in his arms, and in each hand a dustpan and a broom filled with kettle shards.

I] will listen.

It's okay if you don't!

Half my responsibility, I'll take one.

The maid screamed, but took the carpet almost as if it were stolen.

'I think today is a day for manual labor.'

I walked behind her, carrying the carpet.

The fortunate thing is that the body is full of vitality, perhaps thanks to Serpens' instilling divine power earlier?

Thanks to this, I don't think I will suffer from muscle pain tomorrow.

Come to think of it, except for a few priests with a strong spirit of service and those who possess divine power, they usually say that they don't want to use the power of the gods like pride and they say they are expensive.

No, even a person with a spirit of service who possesses divine power will not overdo it, even in small things like this.

On the other hand, Serpence helps without considering the gravity of the work, saying that even if it seems insignificant to others, it can be a great pain for the person involved.

' It is known.'

With such a kind face, he gives kindness with his overflowing divine power, and the common people have no choice but to be respected like a messenger of the gods.

In fact, what would they think if they knew that he was a person who didn't care about other people's pain?

"Then why did you move alone without asking anyone to help?"

"If you make a mistake, you get scolded."

It's probably not the story of Serpens I saw in person, but I'm talking about the housemaid or the butler.

However, the number of teapots doesn't match anyway, and the carpet will take some time to dry after washing.

Besides, carrying this huge carpet around, you thought you wouldn't be noticed.

If anyone asks, say I did it because I bumped into it.

Is that okay?

It's common to make mistakes in front of your boss because you're nervous on your first day of work.

If that's what the aide said..., thank you.

If I didn't do that, I was saying this because I thought my conscience would be stabbed for not being sorry.

The way the maid seems to be apologetic but responds with her eyes glaring at her is a very tempting suggestion.

In conversation while going to the laundry room, I heard that her name was 'Mary Gaudium, and she came from the house of Viscount Gaudium.

Entered the duke family through the introduction of a white mother

it's been a year?

I was excited to be able to drive the car to the Duke with some recognition now, but even the story that I made a mistake.

sorry.

He handed the apple again and promised to buy me some delicious snacks later.

I didn't know because there was a serpent in the office], but seeing separately like this, Mary was also a pretty face in her own way.

'By the way, until before, I only looked like 'Brown-haired maid A'... .'

Once again, Serpens' beauty touched me.

How am I supposed to look like I have to stick around next to such a serpent?

'Please only see me as a human, not a marine creature!'

I prayed earnestly to myself.

The next day, I went to work and faced the stairs, trying to make up my mind.

Hans informed me that today is the day Serpens is going to work at the Imperial Palace.

The Duke is coming down, so there's no need to go up to the office?

Could you tell me something like that in advance...

"I told you yesterday, don't you remember?"

I brought my notebook today, so I will write it all down as soon as I can.

As I was taking notes of what I just said, Hans looked at me with a slightly pathetic gaze.

In addition, he added information that he would go to the Imperial Palace every other day on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and that he could rest on Sunday as a holiday.

Even though I lack common sense here, I don't know if it's even closed on Sunday... !

'Only on Sundays? In this world, was the six-day workweek the basic?!'

At the very least, I almost missed work on a Saturday. was not a clan

After waiting for a while, Serpens came down.

every step he takes

People bowed their heads to pay their respects, and I bowed my head like a Korean to greet them.

I was going to tell you when he passed away yesterday, but you don't have to be so polite.

Unknowingly, reflexively... ha ha.

It has been 25 years since I was born and raised in Korea. Actions that are accustomed to the body and appear reflexively are unavoidable.

isn't it? It's not ripe for the body, but it's ripe for the mind.

Lord Rivelon was very uncomfortable with me.

Let's go.

Serpens had a sullen expression on his face.

'Oh, please. Don't make that face in front of others. Everyone looks at me like trash!'

That's definitely on purpose! That said, no, it's perfectly comfortable, isn't it?

If I do that, before Serpens kills me, the knight standing over there will cut my head off for being disrespectful.

I look into other people's eyes

As he stood still, Serpens smiled bitterly,

"I was joking because I wanted to get to know you, but I think it was a mistake."

He added. The gaze around you becomes more irritating.

'Are you telling me to fuck you?!'

This seems to be a Serpence-style declaration.

right? Aren't you only doing this to me?

No! I still don't realize that I have become the duke's assistant, whom I respect Stop it! Be careful from now on!

I will.

"From now on, most of the work with me will be Tender 1, and my body can't stand it if I keep getting nervous."

Serpence said it was okay to do it, patted me on the shoulder and headed for the carriage in front of me.

If I had been the original Zion that I did not possess, would I have been so moved that I would have dedicated my allegiance to him and squeezed it?

What I don't know is medicine, and that's just it.

I don't know what kind of good Serpence he's up to.

I guess I'll be suspicious

He sighed inwardly, and followed Serpence into the carriage.

'At least I knew how to go out and ride], rolling a wagon inside the mansion... .'

It was impossible for me to commute the distance I had to travel by wagon every day.

After all, I'll arrange my room in the duke's house!] It was a good thing I asked for.

As the wagon departed, it seemed to shake a little at first, and then

It glided stably as if it had been burnt.

It's probably because it's the high-class carriage the Duke rides in, so unlike what we usually see in fantasy novels, I don't think it's necessary to ask about the welfare of the buttocks.

'By the way, does this mean that I have already gone to work and am going to work again?'

I woke up from this nightmare, and it sounded like a nightmare. That's terrible.

Yeah, I told Sun Hans about what you said yesterday.

"Are you talking about lodging?"

Yes. I said I'd clean up the room in the morning, so if you ask me when I get home from work today, I'll guide you.

Thank you for your consideration.

Tomorrow, I will come a little early, put the things I need right away in the room, and move it in earnest over the weekend.

As I was pondering which items to bring first, I felt Serpens staring intently at me.

Why are you staring at me like that...?

It's nothing. You seem to be having a hard time with me, but it's strange that you're making such a request so easily...

It was nothing and I said everything I had to say.

Is it a question of why do you want to live in the same house if you say it's scary, or is it literal? Can I just answer both of them?

''I went to work yesterday and it was so hard.

Um, the mansion is definitely a bit spacious.

It's scary and I don't sleep and die right away], my priority is to be comfortable with my body.

As if my words had been answered, Serpens smiled and nodded.

And the conversation was cut off.

'Is it really awkward because the conversation is suddenly cut off?'

Even more so as Serpens sitting across from me is smiling brightly and staring at me.

'What was the atmosphere like when Serpence was alone with someone in [Master of the Holy Sword]?'

First of all, in the two battle scenes where we fight the main character".

The first was a one-on-one situation, and Hugh Manus persuaded Serpens over and over again.

But his words never reached Serpens' heart.

In the final battle, he fought his comrades, but after Serpens fell, when he stabbed the holy sword into his heart, it was after he bit his surroundings.

'Even then, there was no proper conversation.

Rather than that, the feeling that the main character was talking alone was strong.

'What was the situation in which Serpens led the conversation?'

Threaten, torture, corrupt or corrupt.

It seems to have been mentioned only the situation where he looked down at the other person in pain with an angelic face while laughing and looking down on them.

I used to be rebellious while hurting the other person's mentality, but female readers said they were sexy and laid down on their backs.

'Sexy is a bitch, they're all frozen to death!!'

Rather than helping the current situation, it only increases anxiety, and the nickname among readers called suspense comes to mind again.
