CH 21

Duke, Please Repent! chapter 21

6. The Duke and the Imperial Palace Banquet (2)

Even if there was a banquet in the evening, I had to work during the day.

That's why I had to head to Serpence's office in the morning and after lunch.

As usual, let's knock on the office door, and Serpense's

"Come, come! Come in!"

Isn't it your voice?

Unlike Serpense, who is not very calm, it has a lively and refreshing voice.

came to

It's the first time I've heard of a voice, so when I open the door in hopes of someone else, I see a strong colored headband.

Reddish gold... I should say. Is it just the color of the goldfish you raised as a child?

Are you Sefi's new assistant?

Ah, maybe His Majesty the Crown Prince ?

As far as I know, in [Master of the Holy Sword], only Humanus called Serpens Sephi.

'In the original work, what color was it referring to as red-yellow or orange-gold?

When I went... .'

With the blue-silver haircut Serpens, the difference between the two is very stark.

It's not just the hair color.

Serpence is a neutral beauty with a soft feeling that fits the expression "beautiful", while Humanus is a handsome man with a thick line that suits the expression of good-looking.

"Oh? I know you well. Have you ever seen me anywhere?"

I heard that the Duke and His Majesty are close, so I took a picture.

Yeah, I'm very close with Sepi! Hey, what do you know?

Serpence, seen behind Humanus, is absolutely not.

Of course, as soon as Humanus looked back, it turned into a smile as if it had ever been.

It was kind of strange to see the two of them, who were always aiming their swords at each other in the original work, doing that.

"Actually, that guy, even if he looks like that, he doesn't have any friends other than me. Am I playing around with him?"

As if telling a secret, with your hands

Covering his mouth, he giggles at an audible level and speaks playfully.

If it were a normal friend for such an act, they would have quarreled and joked about it, refusing or even swearing.

Serpens just smiled mischievously.

Did you see it? It's not funny. That's why I'm the only friend.

As you know, our Duke is very shy, isn't it? There's nothing we can do about it.

I shrug my shoulders and speak eloquently, and Humanus giggles and pats me on the shoulder.

Hahaha! A pretty funny guy came in, right? Do you like it?

Yeah, I think I'll get along well with Your Majesty!

It's actually more fun to play with a group of people than to play alone.

It was pretty fun when you and Solertia played together on the train, right?

Humanus is a good mood maker. Moreover, he is also a kind person to Serpens.

Except for the fact that he is the main character of the original, the person who should be made an ally

Water is number one.

Okay, okay. This is the present I prepared for you!

As if secretly handing over a village, Humanus poked the copper next to me with a roll of paper.

When I accepted it and unfolded it, it was a letter of appointment.

'You're giving me something like this?'

It's absurd, but there's nothing I can't understand when I think of Hugh Manus's personality, who likes a sense of authority and pretentiousness.

Overwhelm the crowd when necessary

Although he shows some charisma, he is basically a lively and free spirit.

'Should I say that I get a lot of affection... ?'

If Serpens were respected by people for their incomparable sanctity, Humanus attracted people's hearts with their friendly and pleasant image.

Viscount Shion, I'm not a good friend, but I'll take good care of you in the future.

He patted me on the shoulder, pretending to be solemn.

Are you doing this in front of a friend? Description of the beginning of the novel, when the atmosphere was still bright

It was much more playful than that.

Don't worry about that, and I hope you will visit often and play with our duke.

If I have the time, I would like to do that too...

The expression on Humanus's expression as he said that was filled with regret. Contrary to his actions like Hyolyang, he seems to be quite busy due to his position as Crown Prince.

Unlike Serpens, who misses all social gatherings with various excuses, Humanus will be attending every day to gather his people in case he becomes emperor.

In addition to that, he must be helping the emperor and watching some of the state affairs.

By the way, Sepi, you picked an aide to your liking! The former aide was... No, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say it in front of you. I made a mistake.

''No, that's fine.

Perhaps he thought it was not polite to tell Serpens about the dead aide, so Humanus stopped talking in the middle with a sorry expression and immediately apologized.

'What the hell was the former aide like, how is everyone talking about the former aide?'

I don't know, but Hans must have been strict, citing principles and principles like that yangban.

"More than that, did your Majesty come here because of my appointment?"

About a quarter or so? I was curious about what kind of person he was at the same time.

it would be

The number of people equal to each of the Crown Princes is only the Viscount. He had never even heard of a story that he would come directly to someone else's aide.

"I thought I would only see you at the dinner party later."

At my words, Humanus kicked his tongue saying that Serpens had a hard time getting along with old nobles when he went to a banquet and only talked about difficult things.

"It would be much more fun to be with a younger generation like me."

Young girls are the only people you hang out with, aren't they?

"Hahaha, I'm so popular! I'm sorry, is it hard for Sepi to intervene?"

I know that he has a fiancee, but I wondered if it would be okay, but he is a person who wears a harem while traveling to save the world.

It's a polygamous society, so I guess I can't give my dog a habit.

Serpens are harder to break in than that, what are you talking about?

"Did the Duke have trouble with women?"

At least when I was with Solertia, I didn't feel that way at all. When I asked Humanus with such a question, his expression became subtle.

Sir Zion, do you not know?

Lord Ribelon is somewhat unconstrained by common sense, and tends to be free.

Behind the figure of Humanus looking at me with a surprised expression, Serpens with a disgusted expression can be seen.

Still, it was even more disgusting to pretend to somehow pretend to be ignorant without forgetting my own settings.

Sir Zion, listen carefully.

Yes Yes?!

Humanus looked into my eyes with a serious expression and gave me luck.

"Your qualifications as the master of the holy sword. Do you know?"

A god born in the year the holy sword appeared

power holder... right?"

Other than that?

Other than that, there is the condition of Iran with the strongest divine power, but this will be broken.

It's not known yet, but I'm not saying this at this time.

''Do you know that priests of the Luxmea Church cannot marry?

It knows.

Even at the end of the original story, through the journey of Humanus, she got the nickname 'Saint'.

So was Liena G. Preclarus.

She chose Humanus over the chance to become the youngest cardinal.

This applies regardless of position or gender within the denomination. Was there an incident where the Pope suddenly excommunicated himself for falling in love?

For that reason, it is said that it was not usually a fuss to select a new pope in a hurry.

'At that time, I thought it was a device to maximize Liena's love for Humanus and passed it on... .'

I think that divine power is a genetic factor.

Does this work a lot?

Occasionally, they appear out of the blue, such as atavism or mutations, but they are very rare.

Either way, whether you marry or not, the divine power that you have is not disappearing, nor does entering a temple without marriage create a new divine power.

I don't know why God Luxmea made such a rule.

'If you want to be the closest to yourself, you mean you have to cut ties with the world, what is it?'

If that's the case, I shouldn't have made the genetic trait stand out.

Anyway, for that reason, the great nobles of the Empire continued the dynasty of divine power from generation to generation, and at least one child must be returned to the Church.

Except, of course, when there is no other person to inherit the family, like Serpens.

Is that so...?

In the novel [Master of the Holy Sword], Humanus carried as many as four lovers, and never crossed the line.

seeing it,

[*Caution* This novel strictly complies with all user review regulations.]

[Are you saying you don't know? No need to check, it's just that the main character wants to go big]

[Everyone, don't be too much like that. TTTLT The writer is Mosol, so only the main character does a good job, so he's doing that because his stomach hurts. Let the poor person have your sympathy.]

There was a comment like that... . By the way, I agree with the last comment.

Anyway, is it going to be connected like this?

That's why I can't even marry Rainier...

Here, Rainier is engaged to Humanus.

It refers to the woman, Rainier T. Opulence.

By the way, when you see it being said like that, it means that anyone who has a case should protect it... Am I right?

Did Humanus speak like a stranger before?

"Is the engagement okay?"

Ah, it's clear who will be chosen anyway. It is said that marriage ban is just an unwritten rule, but other than that... who will protect that?

He looked at Serpens with pitiful eyes and said.

Even Serpence was the one who would become the master of the Holy Sword, but he did not receive any special position.

On the other hand, Humanus was crowned Crown Prince. If you had the Holy Sword in mind, you should have postponed that too.

Everyone has no doubt that Serpens will become the master of the Holy Sword anyway, so they must be completely paying attention to the Holy Sword.

'Maybe even the Day of Choice isn't regarded as a day when you have to be bothered to attend the temple, don't you?

By the way, even though Humanus is the Crown Prince, why does he make him age that old?

When I asked if he was not married, it must have been something like this.

'But even a humanus who speaks like that".'

Serpens had a reason for that, but Humanus also has a fiancée whom he loves who has been confirmed to be married. .

'By the way, Rainier's celebrity name is tenacia. stubborn, stubborn)?'

She is also a holy sword holder born on the day of the holy sword, and is a candidate for the master of the holy sword.

Since she was an upright, inflexible woman, it's safe to assume that she is observing all the rules.

However, Humanus has a Casanova temperament, and it seems that he is popular with many young girls at banquets just by hearing the conversation we talked about earlier... .

'Are you going to be caught by Rainie?'

A reader once asked the author of [Master of the Holy Sword], 'So, which of the four female protagonists is the woman that Humanus loves the most?'

and the author,

[All four of us love equally. But if I had to choose among the five, would it be Rainie, my dead fiancee?]

was the answer.

Besides, Humanus was very weak to the woman he loved. Maybe it's just that she's accommodating her stubbornness?

After all, it's just a home.

'But put it face to face' Sir, are you a virgin? What if?' can't you ask?'

If Humanus, who pretends to be experienced after poking for nothing, thinks and strikes impulsively, and does not receive the choice of the Holy Sword, the continent will perish.

If you ask me, after the day of choice

launch.

'If it's really still, you'll have to laugh out loud!'

Of course I am still... .

In any case, it seems that Serpens and Solertia were not so calm on the train because of those conditions.

The 'alone' that Solertia was talking about was referring directly to me and her.

Serpence looked at me with filthy eyes, probably misunderstood that I had strange thoughts about her.

Why isn't this in the original?

Thank you so much, you are turning people into garbage!'

Or, if even Zion's memory had completely become mine, this would not have happened.

It feels like a dictionary made out of a paper book, so unless you think about looking it up yourself, it doesn't come to mind right away.

There is an advantage that I did not lose my identity thanks to that, but the thread is very painful.

'By the way, in the first place, it has to do with the Holy Sword. Are you sure?'

The one with the strongest holy power is the holy sword

Is it wrong to assume that you are chosen by

'You have to be able to believe it... .'

In any case, Humanus left, saying that my fiancee's escort was there, so I had to go first.

"By the way, don't you have an ideal type for the Duke?"

I'm not really interested.

The two of Humanus left], suddenly curious, asked Serpens.

The quick-response, which is very skillful, definitely feels like a prepared statement.

The vending machine will be slower than that!

Isn't it real? It's like Young-ae, whom I secretly have in my heart, or it's just a look that I want to be my taste.

Never.

Still, I can see the opposite sex, isn't it the first thing you see?

A warm heart and

Don't be such a pretentious answer!

Face?

really?

Even if it wasn't about the holy sword, the thought that Serpense might have been a single mother passed through his mind.

But if you think otherwise, your face

Because it's so good, the average level won't even go unnoticed.

'Is it the right situation to consider first?'

If you look at his face all day and suddenly look in the mirror in the bathroom, you are surprised at how ugly he looks.

I understand enough.

" Among all the women you've seen, have you ever said that you're a bit prettier or that you look a little better than others?"

"Everyone is alike."

Haha, just looking in the mirror, there are three beautiful beauties in the heavenly world.

'叶... he probably won't.

From my point of view, the human route seems hopeless unless you quickly stop and take the elf route, or intercept one of the upcoming female protagonists.
