CH 18

Duke, Please Repent! chapter 18

4. In the Duke's estate (5)

There are some ingredients left in the room, but the quantity is not so great that I can't make anything great.

Solertia looked at Serpens with anxious eyes and said.

After that, he looked at the scrolls piled up in his bag and smiled as if he was reassured.

"It is simply for identification purposes.

If you have a sample of this size, you can see a certain amount of habits and habits, and that is enough."

"Really that's amazing. Aren't you a professional broker? A duo is deliberately coveting my outstanding skills and intercepting them ?"

She turns to look at Serpens with a suspicious look.

Isn't that the case? It's just that your skills are outstanding, and we also made mistakes on our side. I hope you accept it as an apology.

I know, I was joking too.

Serpense's sorry voice filled her with a cheerful smile, saying she was joking.

The person standing in the back is a cold-blooded person who doesn't blink even when people cry, but Mr. Sion is very kind.

I'm not really thinking you're a scammer... I'm sorry, Joe].

I'll apologize for you, will you forgive me?

It is unfair. It's really unfortunate, I can't make any excuses because it's my fault.

Who in the world has a warm heart like me!

I feel like I'm the only one left with trash.

"Then what shall we make now?"

I went up to the room held by Solertia on the second floor of the inn. When she arrived at the room, she put her hands on her waist and asked confidently.

Is it possible to get rid of the magic effect of this?

Serpens took off his hood and said, lifting his brown hair with his index finger slightly.

"Uh um. You must have been handsome, I guessed a little "

Looking at the exposed Serpens face, Solertia opened her mouth with a 'heh'.

If he regains his original hair color, he'll show off his crazy beauty, but he's only reacting like this.

Whoa!

For nothing, I feel proud of myself and my shoulders are straightened.

Because of this feeling, the people of the duke's house wanted to let me know the greatness of Serpens.

The boss I serve! Our kid is so handsome!

I don't know why Rivelon-san is so flirtatious...?

Solertia, who shed me once with a look of seeing all sorts of strange people, let out a small sigh."

Oh, not even my hair... How long before this effect goes away?

About two or three hours left.

Uhh~ It's been a while? If that's enough, the ingredients right now are enough. Could you wait for 30 minutes?

Solertia fiddles with Serpens's hair and says, this time

Serpence makes a slightly surprised expression.

If the remaining time is short for a certain type of year, not all types of magic, the conditional expression will be greatly reduced. It requires less materials and is much simpler.

You're a lot better than I thought you were.

Originally, I'm really great!

I don't even know what you're talking about Do I have to say goodbye until I come to this world?

I just stood there and watched their conversation, Solertia said, 'Did you see it?

I'm such a great person!' He looked at me with a sullen expression.

'I was caught saying that I was a scammer... .'

Yes, I can only hear as much as I know, and I don't know what's so great about it.

Reluctantly, they just applauded with a soulless reaction, 'That's amazing~!'

With that alone, Solertia had a satisfied expression on her face.

Then let's get started!

Before starting work, mauve

Solertia, who had her long wavy hair tied together, said curiously.

She laid the paper on the floor and scribbled characters that I couldn't recognize.

Occasionally, I would write down numbers in a practice field or something like that. Mix or sprinkle unknown powders or liquids.

Serpence calmly checked the broken scrolls or the contents of the scrolls she was making, and occasionally nodded silently.

And I sit in the corner one, oh

I always laid out the things I bought and thought about who should I give this to, etc.

It's all done!

After 30 minutes had passed, she jumped up and held out the scroll majesticly.

The Serpence who received it compares it with the other scrolls, and meticulously checks the contents.

Then let's try it.

Anyway!

As he tore the scroll, a burst of blue light hit him.

The light gradually fades away, and instead of the dull brown, the clear blue-silver hair shines. His figure revealed through the blue light was sacred and noble today.

Serpens raised his finger and pulled it forward as if combing his hair to check the color.

The effect is certain, and it seems that he was also right. As promised, I will invest in Mr. Reseratu.

That hair color...? Besides, it's not an introduction, it's an investment...?

Also, Serpens' hair color is eye-catching.

I mean, it's obvious

When an unusual hair color is paired with an unusually crazy beauty, it all boils down to one thing.

I didn't mean to deceive you, but I'm sorry that it seems like you unintentionally hid your identity. I'll introduce you again. It's called Serpens A. Prasidus. And over there...

This is Zion Rivelon, the assistant to Duke Prasidus, who is famous for his hogu!

Uh, uh, ah. Huh? That, that! I, wasn't that the real intention?!

Just, over there, great, yes! That's right, you're a great person!

She was first astonished by Serpence's introduction, and secondly embarrassed by my introduction.

It's okay, calm down. Please refrain from joking around with Lord Ribel Ron. Le Seratus-san is very upset.

"So, Mr. Zion is not Mr. Zion, he is Duke Prasidus, and Mr. Rivelon over there is not Mr. Rivelon but Mr. Rivelon is Mr. Rivelon, but at the same time Mr. Rivelon is Mr. Rivelon, but at the same time, Mr.

You are the Duke, Ribelon is Zion.

Seed .

This isn't some sort of Ziontalt collapse... .

So I just said, 'What should I do with Sephi, why do you use my name to confuse people?

In the end, Serpence put a finger on her forehead once more with a troubled expression on her face and breathed in divine power.

The fingertips stayed on her forehead for a little longer than the previous treatment.

'Now that you've finished scouting, you're scanning meticulously.'

Whatever the purpose, Solertia was able to come to her senses and finished the contract on the spot.

Solertia had the basic funds to open a shop in the capital, and research funds]. We wanted to provide a connection to the top for stable material supply.

In return, Serpens asked for a sample of the newly developed scroll and a portion of the net profit from selling the scroll.

Also, more than other quests, Prasidus Ball

The request from the writer will be given priority. Instead, alimony due to contract termination or arrears will be borne by Serpens.

And although it was not written in the contract, for the time being, Solertia stayed as the duke's eater.

All of the scrolls prepared to open the store were broken, so it was because there were no items to hang in the store right away.

What brought her into the duke's residence was to provide a place where you could focus on making scrolls without worrying about anything else.

In the meantime, Serpens decided to search for a suitable store location.

I once thought what to do, thank you so much!

Well, it's all thanks to my bumps!

As I said with a shiver, Soler Tia stared at this side with a blank expression that it wasn't.

Once the cost of the broken scrolls and materials, I will pay you in a lump sum.

Now everything is fixed! Haha!

There was a time when I thought

On the way back to Yeongjuseong, Serpens informed me that he would immediately collect 2/3 of his salary until he paid off all the money.

In front of Solertia, he said that he would pay all compensation, and he hit the back of the head like this!

'I thought this would happen before I even got my first paycheck .'

As a consolation dimension, Serpence, who added that you can keep the money that is left over after spending today, couldn't be more disrespectful.

If I had known it would be like this, I would have saved it

place!

* * *

After finishing all our schedules in the duchy, we went back to the capital and went out on a carriage from early morning.

Since the destination was the same anyway, Soler Tia decided to go together.

When she approaches the inn where she is staying, she sees her already out on the street with her luggage.

Wow, the Duke rides a good carriage too! But why does Shion-san have a face?

Please?

Solertia got on the carriage and said in a lively way.

This time, 'Zion' refers to me, not Serpense. Before we broke up last time, we decided to just call each other names comfortably.

Of course, Serpens politely declined.

'By the way, didn't you see him calling someone by name?'

The children at the orphanage were called by their first names, but they didn't have a surname, so it was inevitable. even that name

But I didn't call it alone.

Don't tell me, I couldn't sleep last night.

The last two days have been hell.

In fact, the documents that could not be taken out of the Duchy were finished as of yesterday afternoon.

However, I just ran to the end because I was told that I had to take the rest of the general paperwork and process it on the train.

'It's much better to end it quickly and rest in peace than to suffer by leaving it vague!'

My eyes widened, and in the mountains of papers

How exhausted I looked when I was struggling.

Serpence said when did he start working so hard, and suggested that he go to his room and rest because he wouldn't do extra work.

However, he declined because it was too conscientious to rely on the power of Kaltouyo and Justice, and Serpens spent the night together after a bit of a conflict.

Thanks to that, when he got on the carriage this morning, he had a trembling expression on his face, saying that he was able to relax on the train that Serpens was going back to.

'Is it possible to build a friendship like this... !One

Anyway, in that regard, our condition is not right now.

"Does the Duke look fine?"

It's because you don't make tea very well, but if you look closely, you can see it's not like that.

At my words, Solertia looked intently at Serpens' face. Whether that line of sight was burdensome, Serpens made up an awkward smile.

I don't know. It doesn't seem like it, but I think Shion was the right aide.

"Where do you think I am?"

"Are you implying responsibility for your own mistakes?"

That's nothing even with ten mouths.

At that time there was nothing I could do.

It's not an amount that can be paid right away, and even if you ask for money, the broken scrolls don't come back and you can't get the investment right away.

Serpence was also very good at magical knowledge, so it's a pity, it almost ruined a person's life.

After that, Serpens, what can't he do?'

After conversing with her, I arrived at the train station. We got off the carriage and changed to the train.

"Then why is Solertia-san riding in this car?"

Because it's wider, more comfortable, and better?

Apparently Serpens had handed her a first-class seat on the train, but she naturally followed us into the private room.

I've never been in first class myself

La, I don't know exactly what kind of structure it is... .'

I heard that there was also a private room that was divided like a partition.

Of course, it's not comparable to this place, but wouldn't it be inconvenient for a woman alone in a room with two men? There are people's gazes.

When I said that, she laughed and said that she said all sorts of funny things.

It's not just the two of us, so what's up! Maybe nobody cares?

Well, do you have all these open minds?

He turned to Serpence, but he also responded that he didn't care.

I wondered if I was going to notice her, so I dragged her to the corner of the room and asked again, but the response was the same.

Rather, he looked at me with a slightly unclean look.

'What, am I the only one weird? Yeah, I'm trash again!'

But when it comes to serpence, I don't think you should be concerned about scandals or anything like that.

Maybe it's a very pure and innocent image, so you don't have to worry about it, right?

Anyway, Serpens said he should sleep a bit, changed clothes in the shower and crawled into bed.

Seeing that he voluntarily went to bed, he must have been tired.

'Hey, I don't know!'

And I threw myself on the bed.

Perhaps to be considerate of us, Solertia drew the curtains on all the windows and started writing the scrolls, relying on the light of candles.
