Duke, Please Repent! chapter 83

19. The Duke and the Black Warrior (5)

Confusion filled Winston's face.

If you listen up to this point, you will feel as if Serpence has come all the way here for the sole purpose of saving yourself.

' Is that right?'

The biggest thing was to deal with the future demon camp executive in advance, but instead of the murder contract, he came to scout himself.

nee

Looking at it this way, it was true that I came to see only one thing to save him.

But there's no need to even talk about it.

Didn't you feel any doubts while watching the opponents you've fought in this arena? No, you must have felt it. It's blatantly full of strange things.

" there was. The strength and reaction speed are those of an expert, but if you look at the movements themselves, they are no different from ordinary people "

"Because I am a public person."

" what did you say now?"

can't seem to believe it. His eyes widened slightly.

The demon cult... If you say they were intertwined. Can you explain everything?

Hmm

If you tell me that they care about you and have been working for him. You'll understand.

. .Not at all.

Yes?

I don't know.

I lost my words for a moment and just rolled my eyes.

Why don't you know?'

If it was a Serpence, before he could even say one thing, he would climb up all the chains related to it and come up with a solution.

If it's Euges, if it's just fortune-telling, you'll understand perfectly well what I'm trying to say.

Going with those two, of course

Hehe, I thought that just saying this would be enough.

' Yeah, you might not know.'

Putting geniuses and ordinary people on the same line is absurd.

Not knowing is not a sin, and learning what you do not know is enough.

So .

I told Winston that a demon worshiper had corrupted him and tried to exploit him.

and what did you do for him

With each explanation, he burst into anger, frustration, and rage.

If only I could get out of this place. If only I could take revenge on the people who mocked and ridiculed me and those who betrayed me...! If I could even borrow the power of the devil to accomplish that, I promised myself that I would do it.

One, even that was planted by someone else... Not only this body, but also the mind and spirit! My everything was not mine...

Sir Redford...

Knowing everything, he was confused and grieved.

It's like believing that if you do that, your unresolved, stale feelings in your heart will be crushed, crushed, and blown away by the wind to make them lighter.

He continued to pound his chest.

'I'm going to bruise... .'

He clasped his rough, rough fists to tell him to stop.

He couldn't stop it by force, but he stopped mistreating himself if the meaning was conveyed.

But being cramped was unavoidable, so he grabbed the front of his head.

It's okay now. You won't be playing with their will anymore, and you won't be oppressed by anyone else.

He patted his shoulder to calm him down, hoping that something that had been hardened on him would melt a little.

" So. What is the right path you said?"

Winston, who had barely calmed down, asked helplessly.

Rather than the right path, I want you to see it as one of many paths. Among them, I can suggest. A path that benefits both us and Sir Redford.... I hope you think of it as such.

It's difficult. So what am I supposed to do?

I don't understand, said Winston, frowned.

They asked what to do, not how to do it.

'It would be great for us if he helps, but... .'

If you ask if it's necessary, no.

The ripple effect will be a little less, but other methods can be squeezed out.

If possible, I would like him to choose the two that he listened to to the end.

It's not a coercion or an order. What you must do is...

Sir Rivelon.

Yes?

Serpens, who had left everything to me and remained silent, abruptly stopped talking.

It's good to take good care of Sir Redford, but I hope you'll also take care of those who have been waiting outside for a while.

Oh. That's right, Eugenes!

I'm very sorry for her, but... . blinked forgot

Now is the time to complete all the preparations in advance. She will be standing on a high place to get a sweeping view of the entire arena building.

'Besides, considering it's late at night and the current season .'

Even if I see her shivering in the cold, I have to finish it quickly with an explanation.

Anyway, we hope to bring the work of this arena to the public.

After briefly explaining why we should and why we can't come to the surface, we talk about the plan.

Now, there are still civilians in this arena who have been kidnapped for tomorrow's game. You rescue them.

Please escape safely. Of course we'll have to help from behind, but... . As I said before, I can't come out on the surface, so I'm just stating that a mysterious group that opposes the demon worshipers helped.

Well.

Then, please inform the Luxmea Church and ask for help. It is related to the demon worshipers, so it is more certain to inform the Church rather than the Kingdom. Temples of the Luxmea Church exist everywhere on the continent.

The god Luxmea is the only god of the continent.

Therefore, it was able to exert a great influence on all countries on the continent.

'Especially, there is a problem that it can be used as a sacrifice for summoning demons... .'

You can just scour the country and around the world, and you can smash everything illegal, legal, and arena!

Those who do not help or try to stop it are enough to drive them into heresy.

'As in the original work, if there are divided sects, it can be argued that they believe in different sects.'

now united as one

And in the future... I have to. Will you be okay?

And. Here's the story of Lord Redford's revenge.

* * *

Since Serpens had been asking with a voice without confidence, he was in the middle of writing down the words he had to say instead.

Your hand has stopped.

Like a cat that just got hit by the rain

When you ask me to write a script, at least, with an innocent expression... .

Right now, I'm supervising. I glared at him with a wretched heart.

"Hmm, hmmm ! Is there something blocking something?"

As if there was something piercing Serpens in that gaze, he coughed and pretended to be interested.

"It must have stopped."

What can you say for the black fighter? what he wants

Even if I think over and over again, I can't

There were sections that could not be resolved.

He will not give up his revenge.

Serpence looked at me with eyes wondering what the problem was.

I. No, how can we tell him to give up revenge? For that betrayal, he fell to this hell. I can't ask him to bury his grudge knowing that. And forsaking him. The family is also a wicked person who deserves judgment."

Hmm... .

But yes, he's a moron.

Can't you just watch Rum throw himself into the flames of revenge? . ha .

It was cramped and heavy, as if a stone was on my chest, and I let out a long sigh.

It didn't get any lighter.

Then, isn't it enough to get rid of the target of revenge? We'll have to detour a bit, but we can get back in time.

On the way back to the Empire, I'm going to stop by and say it.

A truly suspenseful idea.

"No, it would be futile as it is. It wasn't revenge, it was something to be resentful of.

It's just that the opponent has disappeared.

"Hmm it didn't seem like he had a knack for infiltrating."

it would be

If that was possible, I wouldn't worry so much.

If I carry it and hide... 2m seems to be enough, but I don't think the window is big enough to be able to carry something like that. Should I look for a secret passageway...

" are you serious?"

Of course I'm joking. It's not impossible, I, I'm such a joke for him.

You can't do anything stupid.

I imagined Serpens running around with a giant 2m tall on his shoulders.

It would have been much nicer to see a dubious duo with their faces wrapped around their faces, and the black hooded duo fussing around.

Then is there any other way?

Of course it is. Long-term, but... I would have used this method.

So the method Serpens strongly recommended".

* *

Originally after cleaning up the arena.

He was going to free Winston and show him how if he wanted revenge.

'But the order of the plans has changed, and the scale has grown... .'

The larger the scale, the more certain the results will be.

The general context was similar, but a slight dialogue correction was necessary to match the larger scale.

After hiding in the arena, it was all finished before coming here.

'Somehow, it sounds like you're still listening, muttering a leader.'

Normally, I would have only thought of it in my mind... .

If I go there again in the future, I will have to be vigilant in advance. I thought you were just nervous about getting others to repent

If you act with the Cult while things are going on, even if you know that Sir Redford has escaped the arena. Even if you reveal that you have been sold into slavery by the son of your former lord.

You won't be able to touch it.

Black magic reagents and arena-related documents will also be handed over to the denomination through him.

I will be an important witness and accuser of this incident, so I will protect you from external threats.

And even more so when there is a legend that he even rescued a kidnapped civilian in the process of escaping.

While publicizing the arena events, all you have to do is shed light on the police officers who were caught in the arena.

" Is that enough?"

Yes, it's simple? Sir Redford. You were betrayed by your lord's family, but you still have the honor and pride of a knight in your heart. You love humanity and become a hero who uncovered the conspiracy of demon worshipers for the continent. .

I don't expect that kind of honor.

I know. It's just a process of revenge. It's a lot better than the yoke of killing my former master, though it may be burdensome, isn't it?

It's revenge to show that you're eating well and living well - I don't mean to be bullshit like that.

Being happy is just a basic right that everyone should enjoy.

'I don't think Serpens even thought of that.'

It would have been purely focused on bringing down their clan.

"That what did you say? Horse , what do you say?"

Mallum.

"Oh, yes. Mallum. Count Mallum

Beyond the extent of betraying the loyalty of such a righteous knight, he sold his loyal knights as slaves. The fact that they are a very dirty and mean noble family is spreading throughout the Kingdom of Bastul... , no. It will become known throughout the continent.

But what kind of expression should you make when you say something like this?

Suddenly, before she opened her heart with Serpence. The expression on his face he had seen on the train came to mind.

The family who played tricks on chivalry will be hostile to all knights in this land. If that happens, the royal family and other nobles who should be loyal and trusted by the knights.

The families have no choice but to abandon them. Inside, appeals from the nobles that the title of Count Malum should be stripped will pour in every day. There will be strong criticism from the outside."

Her eyes were half-folded and her lips curled up, and there was a soft smile on her lips.

Then the royal family has no choice but to make a judgment. According to the internal opinions, the titles will be removed. The status of the state has been lowered due to external criticism, so we will expel them abroad. However, no country on the continent is willing to accept them. There will be no place for them to set foot anywhere on this continent.

will be.

His voice is soft and subtly... .

So wretched. Wandering aimlessly across the borders, being caught by thieves, and ending up with ... or crafted like that, Lord Redford can handle it himself. No one cares about their deaths anyway.

Am I doing well right now?

"This is much more than going into the territory right now , huh? Why is everyone making such a face?"

There is something strange about the atmosphere.

Winston is completely ignorant, and Serpens has a very troubled expression.

Sometimes... I feel relieved that you are on the continent's side.

Saying that, Serpens had a bitter smile on the outside. But I know that on the inside there is a smile of contentment.

' I guess I was just trying to keep my own settings, so you passed it all on to me?!'

Such a tactical fence! Suspense!!

I often . This guy is still on the continent

I feel a crazed relief at the fact that I am on your side.
