Duke, Please Repent! chapter 28

7. The Duke's Butler (4)

What else?

As I waited in front of Hans's visit again, he frowned at me when he returned from work.

"Can we go in and talk?"

There was a lesson from yesterday. He was very reluctant, but he let me in with a look of helplessness.

The room was full of Hans's strict personality.

Beyond the neatly angled and tidy level, the furniture placed evenly on either side of the bed with the head touching the center of the wall viewed from the front, even the symmetrical bottles were felt.

When you've finished watching, please sit down.

Hans pointed to a square table placed in a straight line with the bed.

As soon as I sat down, he took his seat right away.

It's like saying, 'Even giving you a glass of cold water is a waste.'

"The reason we are fighting like this is the mansion.

I don't think the atmosphere is good.

Your assistant is cloudy water.

It must have been cloudy because there was a lot of dirty humus underneath. If the water is really clean, it won't get cloudy even if the eel, not the loach, swims.

Are you here to catch a fight now?

Ah, my mistake!

reflexively accepted.

Hmm, hmm-! Anyway, we're not going to fight any faction, isn't it a little bit like bringing in other people as well?

I didn't say anything. I just let them decide.

Still, you made a tea that you hate me, so that's not the case. Even before yesterday's quarrel...

Isn't that just because you're too outspoken about incompetent subjects? Compared to my former assistant's throughput, you can't even keep up with 1/5 of his.

Ah, no. There was no takeover, and it was an adjustment period...

I haven't been joking in the past month.

should have

I am really deeply sorry. At least you should have worked hard during your working hours... .

I don't understand why the Duke chose you, or why he left you. At least when I hired you, I thought I might have seen something I hadn't seen before.

Hans paused for a moment and let out a sigh.

"But the butler did the interview, didn't you ?"

I mean. So do I.

It is clear that Duke Go was also deceived by you. Obviously, even during the interview, I didn't feel like this... .

I was very nervous back then! Ha ha ha I

Hans's face twisted at my smile.

The atmosphere was so different that I wondered if it might have been brainwashed by black magic, or maybe a demon copying human form.

A demon who copies human form. Is it like a flaganger too?

It didn't appear in the original, but I think there are demons with that concept.

But if it's black magic, the duke would have figured it out, and it's still too early for the devil to be summoned.

So it's more of a problem. Compared to the past, the personality of the present is...

Aren't you being too proud to say that you did a background check?

He's the one who needs to be right next to the duke, so that's of course...

Do you feel anger build up while talking?

Sharply grinds and looks at me. If there was a badass evil, it would be a face like that.

Uh, umm... But since you've already been appointed as an assistant, the duke doesn't even want to cut himself. I have some money to pay back to the duke... Oh. Do you want to know? Solertia's scroll table That mouth

Hans chin- on the back of his neck with a red face! He grabbed it and tilted his head back.

Oh, is the old yangban still okay?

A sense of guilt suddenly creeps in.

"Can I get you some cold water?"

Okay... it's all right, bastard.

Blood pressure is blood pressure, but teeth are also worrisome.

"What on earth did you say you roasted the peacock? Why, why would someone like you "!"

''That's just... You want to help?"

Help...! Ha ha ha-one. Ha-ha-hi-II

That laugh, which started as a ridicule with a sense of absurdity, soon resembled that of a crazy person.

for a while,

'Isn't it going to look like a reconciliation if you open the window slightly now to let Hans' laughter out and then close the road?'

A thought came to mind, but I stopped.

The smile was slowly moving towards Heodal, and I felt a sense of remorse.

So, you're saying you're taking advantage of the duke's compassion and consideration. A merciful and good heart?

"Yes? Not at all?"

"The scroll was also with the creator from the beginning.

Using the pretext to pay off debt."

No, no! As you've done my research, you know, Solertia and I have no contact.

Hans, who looked exhausted, covered his face with the palms of his hands and took a deep breath.

"Then how the hell did you end up eating !"

Hans, who looks ten years older than usual, said in a squeaky voice. I don't know what to do with the way I look so miserable.

"Sin, I'm sorry. That's what I ,

uh .

What should I do in this case?

I never dreamed that the day would come when my whole life would make the old man cry.

All of a sudden, I feel like I'm so trash, I'm really sorry]. I have no idea what to do.

I wonder if it's a term used in times like this to say that your head is going white and mentally upset.

- Smart one,

My feet are pounding and I don't know what to do.

Just then, a knock was heard.

'Who is it? should i open it? But now the situation is .'

In a brief moment, countless thoughts ran through my mind.

How to deal with this situation now? what am i doing now why am i here

I really want to cry too!

That's me.

The owner of this pure voice that comes from the door and doesn't match the current situation at all... .

Go, Duke!!

When I opened the door with gladness, Serpens stood there with his head bowed and his forehead pressed.

Serpens' gaze through the fingers on his forehead is as sharp as a veil.

Please move away for now.

He walked past me, entered the room, closed the door, and stood in front of Hans.

At that moment, Hans came to his senses, and while trying to get up, he staggered and nearly fell, and Serpens supported him and put him back on his seat.

Lord, Master...!

With a look on his face that Hans was moved by his actions... .

'Ah, Hans calls Serpent the master when he calls himself. No, what is it? That's right... .'

Looking up at Serpens with moist eyes and seeing him calling him that way, it didn't look very good.

Ummm... Sir Ribelon, didn't you say you were going to reconcile?

Serpens placed his hand on Hans' forehead, infused with divine power, and made an absurd expression towards him.

all.

That's why I'm like this... well...

Let's talk about that later.

As if his head hurts, Serpens waved his hand.

Behind him, Hans, who had come to his senses, was seen laughing at him.

I wondered if I had seen it wrong, so I rubbed my eyes and laughed when I looked again.

'No, well, there's all those guys, give me back my guilt!'

Whether I'm looking for the lost millstone handle or not, Hans opened his mouth as he looked at Serpens with a look that seemed to shout 'Please call me!' at any moment.

It doesn't make sense to have such a person as an assistant! A person like that, who is mean and unkind to an ignorant man, is no help to the Duke!

Then, who should I have to help me?

Serpens raised his hand and asked Hans, who was looking up at him.

I tried to open my mouth to him, but Serpens didn't even look at me and told me to keep quiet with just a gesture.

Of course, like the former aide, we need to have someone as capable and loyal as that! It's useless for someone who is incompetent and can't even follow basic manners.

Then. What do you think of the butler himself?

Of course, it's helping a lot. Since the days when the master was a master, he has been watching and helping out from the sidelines.

Ugh, Eup!

When I saw Hans smiling softly as if reminiscing about beautiful memories, I was nauseous from the rising disgust.

I quickly shut my mouth, but it seems it's already too late. Hans' scornful eyes pierced his face.

Guess I'll ever feel sorry for that yangban again... !

butler.

Yes, Master.

An expression that gently raised the corners of the lips

With that, Serpens opened his mouth softly.

To the voice calling him, Hans answered, looking up at him with a impressed expression.

At first glance, it appears to be a master-slave relationship bound by strong loyalty.

Isn't Sir Rivelon still young?

Yes?

It's the first time I've become an assistant, and I didn't have a full-time job. I think it could be.

" Yes?

Even while I'm away, please take care of me.

"Hey, what is that ?"

Please watch over me.

Serpence smiled and gently patted Hans on the shoulder. As the touch was added, Hans's expression gradually rotted and faded.

'Now, are you clearly on my side?'

Act like you're not going to help. I thought it would be a good thing if I kept my neutrality well!

Ha, but...!

If you're really uncomfortable, you can report it to me as you have so far.

Oh, you get the report... . Still, it was thrilling.

Gam-deok Ji-han Gil-nyang was the only one who took care of the feed every day and made me watch it from a distance.

It felt as if that arrogant Gilnyangni came first and gave me all the dead bugs as a gift.

A mixture of excitement and uneasiness creeps in.

The butler looks tired, so let's get out of here.''

" Yes!

Hans, who had a sad expression on his face, left behind.

Serpens took the lead and left the room, and I followed suit.

I, peacock...

One Shh.

He raised his index finger and brought it to his lips, gesturing to Hans's door, which had just come out.

Obviously, it wouldn't be a good idea to talk here.

Serpens naturally climbed the stairs and opened my door .

' uh? Is this something strange?'

Yes, he can open my door.

After all, this mansion belongs to Serpens. You might have a master key or something.

But why .

' Isn't the lock on?'

Feeling very uncomfortable, I entered the room.

Someone on the table just drank

There was a teacup that looked like it had been drinking.

"Somehow the timing of your arrival was a bit odd."

I was eavesdropping right upstairs here.

If it was Serpence's hearing, which was strengthened with divine power, without having to lie down on the floor. I would have been able to sit down at the table, sip tea in a leisurely manner, and listen carefully to all the conversations.

Looking at your actions so far, I thought you would come to me right away.

Serpens casually placed the teacup

He sat down and ripped a piece of paper and said.

A blue light burst out of the torn paper and settled like a thin film on the inner wall of the room. It wasn't just paper, it was a magic scroll.

Is this... soundproofing magic? Is that right? The soundproofing here isn't that good?

There's nothing wrong with being careful.

Be careful, at least 500,000 Ars flew away at a time.

It's probably a lot more expensive than that, but we don't know the exact price, so let's move on.

Ah, thank you earlier than that!

Be careful in the future.

Yep!

He smiled and looked at Serpens, and he smiled and shook his head.
