Duke, Please Repent! chapter 64

16. Guests at the Duchess House (3)

Of course, that's just an imagination, and it's not really true.

'Of course it will. Perhaps .

It seems like Xeon has been secretly scolding me since a while ago], this isn't secretly, it's really being scolded.

It's not because of my unusual behavior.

I'd rather not have any doubts

Are you free?'

Looking back on Shion's memory, Zeon was evaluated as 'nagging me about the subject of my younger brother.'

As I climbed up the memory a little more, it seems that Charon was also being scolded.

'Is it the youngest On Top? . No, am I just not me anymore?'

Anyway, I'm going to ask Serpens directly about the gift later, and I'll have to guide Xeon about the duke's house.

"Well then is there any place you want to see first ?"

I asked Zeon as I walked down the hallway.

Huh? Well. When I say that vaguely, there is no place that comes to mind. Can't we just look at the whole thing?

The barracks are a little open to outsiders, but...

I'm sorry, but I can't help it. Oh, yes. Let's go to the little brother's room later.

My, why is my room?!

Why? I'll have to see how you're doing with my own eyes.

Humanus pretending to be friendly alone

Is this how Serpense feels when she looks at ?

It's incredibly burdensome, but there's no way I can push it away. I can't even say that I'm uncomfortable, and I'm so frustrated that I'm going crazy.

Yeah. I'll have to check...

"Why are you reacting like this? Are you living on the subject of living on the floor without properly cleaning it?

No, I live really well. Really...

Somehow I want to cry

'I'm so uncomfortable with him... !'

Why I first saw it. I don't know if I should be scolded by a four-year-old or a child.

Luckily, when he gets scolded by Serpens, he has a reason to understand, and he's so soft that he gets released quickly and gets over it easily.

'My sister didn't even nag me like this!'

This guy is no joke My body shudders and dies.

"I really can't live !"

Ugh! Ah...

Perhaps it wasn't enough just to scold me with words, so Xeon suddenly slammed my back with a 'chuck-!' sound. This time, I was able to suppress the sound as much as possible by learning the lesson from my side.

Why are you beating me...?

No, the younger brother is the duke's aide, and he's still doing that?

Yes?

Straighten your back! Be proud! Anyway, little hyung, you have to know that you're timid.

The handmaiden who was passing us with a cleaning tool stopped.

The servant's hand, who had climbed the ladder and dusted off the ceiling, also stopped.

The head of the knight who stood guard inside the mansion turned toward us.

As if there was something to report to Serpense, the administrator who was heading to the office with the documents dropped the documents.

Wherever I heard the sound of gasp, I looked up and saw Hans standing behind the pillar with his mouth open in disbelief.

In a nutshell, the atmosphere is terrifying.

i got cheap

Yeah! I'm saying this right after the talk, but the weak older brother doesn't even contact me. Do you know how worried everyone is?

At this moment, the pupils of the Duke and his family here began to shake without mercy.

After the younger brother went up to the capital alone, we made a bet to see if we could fix that timid personality.

in his playful voice

was full of love for his family.

However, those who heard his story seemed to have chosen to cool off rather than feel warm affection.

The knights, who stood guard at a distance, exchanged hand signals while moving their hands in a hurry.

The servant who was on the ladder slowly came down. The maid who was carrying the cleaning tools approached him and began to talk.

I listened to the faint voice,

Did you hear me? Your aide is timid.

Besides, you haven't been able to fix it yet?

"The people in the aide's family are "

I could hear conversations like this little by little.

What kind of image do they see of me, can I get so serious about being timid?

'Doesn't everyone live with a certain degree of timidity in their hearts?'

Anyway, Xeon seems to have accepted my timid little brother as I looked at myself and squirmed because I was uncomfortable.

Oh no...! I'm different now!

It's so lively!

Yeah, if you think like that and act like that, you'll get better gradually. But don't overdo it.

I'm a little sorry to express the younger brother I've seen for the first time like this.

'He's not very smart?!'

There's a degree of dullness, can't you see this atmosphere?

It's good to love and worry about your family, but I think you can create a much more beautiful scene if you do it while observing the surrounding atmosphere.

I'm worried about my little brother, my mom is anxious

I can't even sleep well at night

do you know?"

"My mother said she was pregnant."

I don't think it'll end like this, so I bet it wasn't my worries, but something else, so I couldn't sleep.

As a result, he succeeds in closing his mouth, but instead, he hears a muffled and muffled sound from the surrounding area.

What kind of rumors will spread about the Rivelon family in the future... .

'I don't know anything else, but I will satisfy Serpense's expectations.'

Conversely, the honor of the Count Rivelon family fell to the ground. Still, it was Xeon that became the trigger.

All bad things he did!

Let's go quickly! You want to see my room?

Huh? Oh, yes.

Unintentionally, in a situation where he was borrowing his body, he grabbed Zeon's wrist and dragged him away to protect even the tiniest of honor.

By barely pushing Xeon into the room, he was able to escape the gaze of the people around him.

You cleaned it up really well. I also thought there was a corner where something could be broken.

He grabbed my wrist and looked around the room.

It's no longer the timid me of the past, this is it. So tell your mother not to worry too much.

So you're calling me by a different name? Mom, would you be sad if you found out?

I'm an adult now. I can't act like a child forever.

What was written in the letter and what was sung by Xeon

By the way, I knew that Shion called her mother, not her mother, but .

It seems like something I can't do to Shion's parents or even my real parents, so I can't stop talking.

"By the way, little hyung, you seem to have gotten a little stronger? Are you exercising these days?"

'Just as a hobby... . The duke is watching over you.

Would you be more concerned about safety issues? But it wasn't entirely wrong.

It started out as a hobby for Serpens, but now I'm enjoying it quite a bit.

'When it comes to entertainment, it's just gambling or playing chess... .'

It's kind of a blessing to be able to enjoy something similar to a VR game in a world like this.

Seeing that training is taught as a game, wouldn't Serpens do well as a kindergarten teacher?

It reminds me of him taking care of the children at the nursery.

'Obviously that kindergarten will be a peaceful kindergarten that is nowhere else in the world... .'

instead of leaving the children outside.

There will be a war between parents.

Oh, the Duke?! Aren't you being too bothersome to the little brother, the Duke?

It's not like that. The Duke also said he likes to teach others.

You must have said it politely!

First of all, Serpence is set up to say, 'I do not say empty words, but I do it with a sincere heart'. Wouldn't you be offended if I said that?

And this level doesn't even fit into the axis of negligence.

No matter how much I trouble him

Even if it does, will it be possible to follow the continent-scale annoyance caused by Serpens in [Master of the Holy Sword]?

" Little hyung. He was originally a person who had very thin ears and trusted others. But he was a person who knew how to keep basic manners, right?"

"I saw there was a little misunderstanding, but with the Duke "

I paused for a moment and opened the bathroom door.

'Okay, no Hans.'

Apparently, he couldn't escape from the shock of the past, so he didn't follow suit.

"Little brother, what are you doing?"

No, nothing. Anyway, should I say that my relationship with the Duke is a little like a friend? We're only one year older, so we decided to get along really well.

"I, really?!"

That's right! Don't you trust this hyung?

Little hyung is a little ungrateful, though.

Me too, but the original Sion also has a lot of problems... ?

"You know when the Duke sent you a present."

Hey, I wouldn't have done it if I had felt it was rude to act like a really small hyung.

Of course! Rather, do you feel uncomfortable when I'm too polite?

This is by no means my brain teaser.

In fact, it is a proven fact that Serpens smiles so much that breathing becomes uncomfortable.

I'm really happy. I've had the best job I've ever had, but I was worried that I might get cut off.

"So what are you going to do next?"

I'll have to come to the capital next year, too. Not right now, after my younger brother is born?

Uh, why?! Helping my brother in my hometown .

"How much work can you help with that?"

That was it. Because the Rivelon Territory is a place that has absolutely nothing to do with it.

"By the way, when we were young, the eldest brother is the lord. The younger hyung is the aide. I am the butler. We promised that we would raise the three of us well enough to advance to the capital city of Ribelon Street together . Remember?"

"Uh, uh it was."

As I slowly traced back my memory, it seems that something like that happened. It's a family run company, so the youngsters have big dreams.

So, did Shion betray him first?

Thinking about it now, it sounds like a no-brainer. I need something to raise it or not.

Because I was young then.

Yeah. It's nice to see you after a long time and talk about the old days.

Don't talk like that.

Because there is nothing like the past to remember with the person you met for the first time. Don't keep making me feel guilty... .

It was probably God Luxmea who put me in this body, but why is my heart so heavy?

' I don't know how to choose a joint guarantee, but I feel like I'm completely obsessed with it?'

You can't call someone like this and not show your nose!

Isn't it the basic principle to at least come to me in my dreams and tell me something?

'At least see if I can go back

The whereabouts of wealth and Zion's soul. If you tell me something like that, I won't be able to do anything that makes me feel comfortable!!'

If we meet someday, he's a god, and I'll grab him by the neck and shake him.

If I put the share of Serpens on my share, even a god will have a conscience, so he will be quietly arrested.

"If I get a vacation later, when . No, will you come down when my brother is born?"

"Ah, I think it will be a little difficult because it is a busy time back then."

"Do you know when that will be?"

I missed it for a moment, but it was already too late.

The letter didn't say what week it was now, and Xeon didn't say it either.

It's due in April of next year.

Yeah, that's right. Busy time?

Xeon's expression darkened.

"What's wrong with you, really little hyung? You cut off contact all of a sudden, and avoid it for no reason!"

"It was because I had so many things to worry about.

What did you do? You will do well in the future... .

Ha! You're calling that an excuse now? Oh... Yeah, come to think of it, isn't it all of a sudden? To be more precise, it's from the time I joined the Duke's.

for a moment. Saying something like that... .

Why? Now our Rivelons look insignificant?

After I succeeded, I became the garbage I threw away my family.
