Duke, Please Repent! chapter 52

13. Secret stories about the Duke (1)

I met Jack a few days ago and we were talking.

Father will meet with the aide once.

"Is that really true?"

"It's all thanks to me writing a letter every week and sending it home."

thank you!

"Next weekend is my off-duty, so I'll go with you then.

I have contacted you.

The above is the content of the conversation that took place that day. Jack's expression was very bright when he said that.

But unfortunately, tomorrow would be his off-duty. Due to a sudden change of schedule, he will be unable to go.

If you want to have an in-depth conversation about what happened at that time, it is inevitable.

'Besides, I've been confirmed that Serpens will go with me... .'

Instead of practicing swordsmanship, the condition I put forward was this. how to lure

I thought about it, but I thought it went well, so I inserted it in secret.

In fact, if Jack's father refused to meet again this time, I was thinking of looking for someone else.

The list of users used at that time will surely remain in the duke's residence.

Still, wouldn't it be better to be Jack's father? My son is at work, and I'm going to be a bit shy.

At least, it would not come out shamelessly saying that it was a natural sacrifice for the continent.

'Looking at the current Serpence, it seems like I can get over it even if I hear such words... .'

It's not that it's not, but rather, it seems to be preaching to the other person the doctrine of the world we live in.

[Repent, now you can do it too]

with a slogan like

Wouldn't it be nice to explain it step by step and try to understand it step by step?

I believed in Serpence, which showed growth that exceeded expectations.

But, isn't it natural to want to feed only delicious food and show only good things when possible?

Moreover, as long as the problem with the first sword remained, it was too early to be completely relieved.

"What you need to do right now is "

I headed to Hans' room to secretly give Jack a new schedule.

* * *

" how did the aide get into my room?

Are you there?"

Hans, who returned from work, frowned.

As soon as he opened his door, he could see me sipping my tea, so it was worth it.

When I found the mug Serpens was drinking in my room, I was stunned.

The butler seems to want me and I to have a friendly relationship that allows us to go back and forth between each other's rooms, so I've been there once.

"You still brought the tea leaves from my room?"

After taking a deep breath, Hans entered the room and closed the door.

I was in and out of my room on a fictitious day and that's how I reacted that I only came once. It's a really narrow barn.

I think it's hard to go up and down the ladder every day, so I went down today.

How do you know that...

"You mean the passage behind the mirror in the bathroom? Did the Duke tell you?"

ugh... .

I don't know why the reaction is so irritating.

Serpens explained that this passage was originally made for business purposes.

The aide who serves the Duke closest and the butler who manages the affairs of the mansion

Since it was such a relationship, there were things that had to be done together while avoiding the eyes of other people, and there were people or documents that I had to share secretly.

The space created for this kind of collaboration

Using as a check... . Isn't that too much?

"So, are you here to pick it up?"

Hans asked, slumping down on the chair. Even if he dies soon, he is a dignified yangban.

Oh no, I'm going to visit Jack's home tomorrow.

"What are you thinking?"

So, by the way, I'd like you to postpone Jack's off-duty until later.

" What are you going to talk about?"

"Hey, knowing everything."

As I said with a smirk, Hans frowned as he pressed his temples together.

I don't understand aide at all.

That's what I agree with. As I said, there were hardly any servants or maids who worked for a long time in this mansion.

In a prestigious family with a long history, isn't it very rare?

It's a question I've had for a long time.

I thought maybe Serpens had cut everything, but when I asked, he said no.

That's also... .

Yeah, I made him quit. I thought he was sure to keep his mouth shut, but where the hell did the information leak from...

You don't know that. I didn't expect you to admit it right away, but it's surprising.

Waste of time is discouraged.

When you say it cut like a knife, it seems like you want me to get rid of it quickly.

More than that, it's called shutting your mouth.

'Of course I wouldn't have killed him.'

It would be a big deal if there were even rumors that the people who worked for the Duke of Prasidus were dying.

Perhaps, with a little intimidation, he poked out the cost of joining the group?

More than that, the fact that you kept your mouth shut means that the butler also decided that the events at that time should not be known.... Then why did you stand by?

"The Duke was born to protect the continent. Such trials were necessary.

Look. What a wonderful .

Damn...! Ah, no. I was too talkative. So even if I'm senile now..., um.

I wanted to honor the old man, but he kept attacking the old man.

I expected Hans to think that way, but it was even more shocking to be confirmed like this.

Besides, this is not what you expected.

'Is that great?'

At Hans' words, I remembered the figure of Serpens from [Master of the Holy Sword].

Look at that figure, who, knowing what their true enemies are, are swindling and slandering each other and pointing their weapons at each other!

How foolish and delightful is this?

How could that great empire collapse so easily?

It's so simple that you can feel boredom.

I don't know why in the past he left the easy path and chose the difficult path.

Serpens laughed at his stupid past.

With an angelic face and a smile as cold as a snake.

It's been a while since I've thought about it, and I can feel a bit of madness, huh? Did I think of another novel?

'What can I do with this disparity?

It was so good that it almost went down in history as the worst disaster in the history of the continent.

all.

This is going to happen in about two years if the original flow goes.

'At this time, I thought that the difficult road meant taking control of the empire and dictatorship .'

Now that I think about it, it must have been about protecting the continent.

You're talking too much.

I wanted the butler to see the duke as a person. So, last time... But I don't think that kind of thing works for the butler.

I heard about the former assistant

Afterwards, I wondered if I was reflecting a little.

But the fundamentals haven't changed in the slightest.

'Isn't it possible that Jack's father is also a human being?'

I was starting to get a little worried.

Do I have to tell Serpense to stop listening to him outside and wait until he finds out who he is?

If you're a butler, shouldn't you be thinking about how to carry the duke's luggage together?

God is more incompetent than I am.

It's not something anyone can listen to. It's like a destiny that the Duke has been carrying since he was born.

I want to sew that mouth that speaks of fate so that I can sleep forever.

Of course, it is not that Hans knew the future and said such a thing, but it is inevitable that he will be angry.

"The continent will surely be saved. But I will not hand it over to the Duke.

What the hell can you do...

I'll do it anyway! That's why I'm here.

I wondered why I became Serpence's assistant.

'Why do you have to be an assistant?'

There was a better way to prevent him from becoming attached to the demon worshipers and increasing the damage the continent had in their mouths.

For example, when Serpens was defeated by Humanus and imprisoned. What would have happened if you had become a guard who guarded the place?

If it was at that time when he was imprisoned and defenseless in a special prison that restricts the flow of divine power.

And instead of an indecisive person like me, if a cool person had possessed him, he would have been able to kill him easily.

But what about my case?

Somehow, he was changing the serpents, but the beginning was only a fluke.

"There are too many uncertainties."

Nevertheless, my presence in this world as his assistant meant one thing.

The being who brought me to this place wants to save the continent and at the same time save the Serpens.

'A greedy man who neither side can give up on... .'

There is a point to point out about its existence.

No, there was nothing other than that.

'God Luxmea.'

[Master of the Holy Sword] is basically the story of the master of the holy sword, who inherited the power and will of the gods, to defeat evil.

But it and the paradoxical feature

there was one

Serpens used the three swords throughout the course of the play, and used [Holy Power] over it until he got the power of the Demon King.

Those who cried out in search of God, Serpence was killed with a sword wrapped in God's power.

Demons were beside him, sprinkling a silvery brilliance in an angelic holy form.

'Isn't the new Luxmea waiting until the end for him to come back to me?'

And now, isn't it giving him another chance?

I thought so.

Perhaps the reason I didn't drop the holy sword on him was because I didn't want to burden Serpens any more.

The reason I couldn't send me earlier than now was that this was the limit of Luxmea's power... .

'Did I interpret it in my own way?'

But it is a plausible hypothesis. It would be nice if there was more clear evidence.

choice day. broken heart

To Aol Serpens,

'No matter who you are, there is someone who loves you unconditionally and watches over you .'

I want to say it so proudly.

"The reason for your existence isn't it that you are overconfiding in yourself?"

That's for me to do. So, the butler, just play the role of the butler. Will you change Jack's schedule tomorrow? The duke is also going with you, so if you refuse, we will go to the duke.

In the end, Hans frowned, okay

He told me to get out and chased me away.

It must have been like this, I was arguing for nothing.

A person has to be flexible to some extent like a tortus.

Because of people like Hans, it's okay to insult even the old gentlemen who are in good shape.

"When the hell is that guy going to retire?"

I think we should have hired a butler when we were hiring administrators.
