Duke, Please Repent! chapter 37

9. Duke and case statement (3)

Originally, he should have asked the Warlock why he had done this or his plan.

However, since all the contents have already been revealed, such effort was reduced.

Instead, something more important remained.

Their base's right]chi. They had to hunt down the other worshipers and the traitors who helped them.

'I don't think it's going to be a big deal, but... .'

The demon worshipers were point-organized.

Afterwards, the Luxmea Church began to unite in the form of religion in the midst of sectarian divisions, but that is a later story.

They were now scattered.

For that reason, I did not expect much to find out the main base.

But, considering the instigation plan, wouldn't he know a traitor or two?

'Of course, there will be no way to answer just a question... .'

Regarding that, the denomination side insisted that since the opponent is this cult, they should take them and have the heretic interrogator investigate.

The aristocrats insisted that they were captured by the emperor's servant, Duke Prasidus, and should be taken to the imperial palace and tortured.

Instead of participating directly, the Pope has delegated the position to Cardinal Fidamen F. Dilucesco, who is also a permanent member of the Advisory Council.

Because of that, there was a problem with the face of emperors of different ranks intervening. Although he ostensibly expressed neutrality, he was secretly siding with the nobles.

'It's torture, no matter who does it, the result is the same... ? Why are you fighting?'

The warlock looked at me with a pale complexion as I watched them fight each other over putting themselves in front of their eyes.

'I caught a serpent, why are you doing this to me?'

He was a warlock, so he was skeptical that he might be casting a curse, so he took a step to the side and stood behind Serpens.

Meanwhile, the confrontation between the priests and the nobles continued.

Numerically, the nobles were more advanced, but they also believed in the god Luxmea, so they avoided an active offensive.

On the other hand, the denomination's power was small, but they were united around Cardinal Dilucesco.

Because of that, their argument was forced to continue drawing the horizon.

all.

"How about asking yourself?"

No, who came up with such a crazy comment?

The crazy man with a flower garden in his head looked around looking for someone else.

Humanus, who was next to the emperor, was slightly raising his hand halfway as if he was standing.

The conference hall was silent.

The emperor's face looking at Humanus is an expression of wanting to slash the back of his head if there are no people here.

Irrespective of the emperor's expression, Humanus glanced at the knight who was stepping on the warlock.

The knight watched the emperor's eyes and secretly released the black magician's gag.

Shion Rebellion! Cursing you! The devil has descended on the earth and stood before your eyes... and your mother... Oops!

The knight protecting the imperial family kept a gag in his mouth again in time to protect the council's deliberations.

'What a great chivalric spirit!'

As I was deeply admiring his quick response, I could feel everyone's eyes focused on me.

It didn't look like she was worried about the pad lip, but it seemed like she was asking for an opinion... .

' I wonder if I was nominated?'

It gave me goosebumps just to see them stabbed with magic arrows and set with fire.

Doing it myself is too much for me.

Besides, looking at his condition, if I torture him, he must die of a vase before he vomits out everything he knows.

"Well, I have a weak stomach How about the Duke?"

Recalling the original text, I tossed it to the all-round teacher Serpens, who has a knack for torture.

Even so, that's not it! Duke Fra Cedars is a person who can't even kill ants because he's pitiful]! To torture such a person...

Lord Rivelon, are you really human?!

That's right, I can't show such a cruel scene to someone with such a good and delicate heart!

Serpence hasn't said anything yet, but there's a lot of uproar around it.

Who the hell was the one who had been fighting each other over the leadership of torture until now?

They unitedly vomited, saying that the terrible scene of torturing someone is not worthy of being shown to an innocent person like Serpens.

Aside from the brutal sight, he is someone who can't even kill ants to those who have just been subjugating monsters... .

'Oh! no. You must not be able to kill ants.'

It happened when I was young, so I guess that's true.

'Instead, it's a matter of killing others well.'

If it stays like this, my evaluation, which had been raised by this incident, is in danger of being used again as a second-class dog bastard.

I quickly opened my mouth and corrected my words.

No, I was just asking for your opinion! What do you think of the Duke! I'm the Duke's assistant to the end. I can't decide on such an important issue alone!

The hustle and bustle of the intestines subsided.

Then everyone shook their heads as if in agreement.

uh... , I don't know about that... . Can't we just do it all together?

It's like Serpens saying, 'I don't know anything.'

He tilted his head with an innocent face and let out a terrifying sound.

There's nothing else in the world we can all do together... .'

Nevertheless, Serpens's opinion was accepted.

The warlock was transferred to the Order, where he enjoyed the luxury of being tortured by the highest torture expert in the Imperial Palace and the highest cult inquisitor.

'As the authorities on both sides are called me as advisors, won't they vomit out everything they know?'

As soon as his treatment was decided, the advisory council

broke right away.

However, Serpens followed the emperor to give a more detailed report, and I was caught by Humanus, who was about to return first.

Sir Sion, can we talk for a while until Sepi returns?

I was tired from staying up all night, but I had no right to refuse the Prince's invitation.

He followed him to the Crown Prince's Palace.

"Is it okay if I don't go with your Majesty?"

You haven't decided to entrust important things yet... That's why you brought Sir Zion like this, didn't you?

Humanus said with a smile.

In fact, it was closer to the fact that the emperor did not want to entrust a dangerous task to Humanus rather than not entrusting him with an important task.

'If I hadn't really entrusted myself with anything, I'd have gone to the duke's mansion on a fictitious day.'

The peacocks told the story that he was like that before he was appointed Crown Prince.

I must have heard it from

Sir Sion has a rather daring side, unlike what it looks like. The thought of calmly obtaining information from two warlocks.

"I was not at all calm, I was so scared that I thought I was going to die."

Still, with a body that hasn't mastered any self-defense techniques... It's a great achievement. Is that also the mother's influence?

Ahahaha. .

Come to think of it, Shion's mother never became a strong female general.

"Besides, what did Sephi go to talk about?"

I don't know.

Where are you secretly asking?

Before coming here, especially since Serpens had asked him not to say anything to Humanus, he took it off.

Of course, I knew what Serpence was going to say.

He is talking about linking the dark house with the demon worshipers, and saying that he will be in charge of the investigation because there may be another victim.

I guess

Chit. If you look at it, Sefi is a younger brother than me, but like my father, everyone always treats me like a child...

Maybe it's because of the difference in personality.

If you put a lively and mischievous Humanus next to a calm and dignified Serpence, you can't help but look like a relatively young child.

Rather .

Your brother? Aren't you two the same age?

Yeah, but I was born in January, and Sephi was born in December. When I was born, Sephi didn't even exist! This is it!

Age in this world is not calculated by birthday, but by adding one year from January 1st.

If they are 11 months apart, they're the same age, and in reality, it's safe to say that they're one year apart.

Duke was born in December? It's special.

Is it because of the way the age is counted?

Apparently, at a young age, the difference of a few months feels big, so

It was advantageous to be born even a little earlier in order to look great.

Especially, it was more prominent among the nobles.

'Shion, a nobleman in the village, was also born in March... . Even if they are born late, they are from a bloodline with the confidence to be superior to others, isn't it?'

For this reason, most of the nobility's birthdays are held at the beginning of the year, and January to May is the busiest period in the social world.

Maybe it's because Serpence is always busy with work, or it's because he doesn't want to participate in such a place and prefers to work.

I wasn't interested in parties like that, so naturally it had nothing to do with me.

Because you've become an aide, you don't even know your boss's birthday? It's December 25th, so know that.

Thank you, I will definitely remember.

Since Christmas is my birthday, it was so easy to memorize that it was not necessary to write it down.

Of course, there is no such thing as Christmas in this world, but... .

'But it doesn't matter since I'm less worried about forgetting it?'

Meanwhile, the maid brought out a tea set in a three-tier tray with Heungcha.

Sandwiches, scones, and slices of cake were placed on the top floor.

It's not even Serpence, and I and I, who are his assistants, can't eat together... .

'Even if the humanus is not formal, the grade is not right.'

Since the story could come out from behind, it seemed to be prepared as a meal substitute.

Perhaps Serpens had a meal with the emperor

We'll be talking while we're

As expected, Humanus was a comfortable conversationalist.

I was more comfortable with Serpence than anyone else, but when it comes to leading a conversation, the other person's response is more important than anything else.

Me and Humanus emptied the tray one by one, exchanging bizarre stories.

"So, are you going to keep working?"

" Yes? Of course it is, right?"

All of a sudden I wonder what kind of nonsensical question this is, I'm bewildered at Humanus

When he saw it, he burst out into a smirk.

I thought he might be scared and quit because of this job. Well, yes. You must have that much guts!

I didn't even think about it that far because I felt betrayed by Serpense.

'It's a situation in which you might get scared and quit normally.'

But little by little, potential began to appear in him.

In the present situation, everyone's future is to hold the center by Serpence's side.

is the best choice for

Hey, it's the other way around! Since something like this has happened, shouldn't I be on the side to help?

Hahaha! Yeah, you're right!

At my generosity, Humanus smiled brightly as if he was very happy.

You, do you really like it? Sir Sion, if you ever get cut by Sepi, how about coming to me? No, would you like to just be my aide?

Suddenly, what kind of scout offer is this?
