CH 112

Duke, Please Repent! chapter 112

27. Deputy Butler of the Duchess (2)

I opened the book and put it back on my chest.

It's just a little uncomfortable.

Better than that now?

This posture is uncomfortable, too. So, isn't that why you asked for a chair change?

" that's shameless."

We decided to have a conversation, so it must have been a call to sit down

They asked for an environment in which they could hang more comfortably, so even thinking about it, I was terrified.

I have no intention of fixing it though.

"Actually, Zeon is a bit sensible You can't come here, right?"

"Did something happen?"

Rather than anything happened, I got some questions from him yesterday...

After work, Xeon suddenly came to my room.

I wonder if it's just that the brothers don't talk too much while living under the same roof

D, I couldn't take it anymore.

And I went to ask a few questions in a way that seemed to be asking just out of curiosity.

"Why does the new knight-sama call the younger brother 'senpai'?"

or,

[ By the way, the Duke and I were like friends? These days, the study seems to be coming and going, how did you become so close? ]

or whatever.

Well, those questions? These are questions worth asking out of curiosity, but it's a bit difficult to answer the truth.

"So what did you say?"

After hearing my story, Serpens asked with an anxious expression.

Lord Winston said that I was the greatest in my experience serving Serpens, and he only told me about sagas he had with demon worshipers on the streets of Semita. Let's go Why is your expression like that?"

When talking about Winston, Serpens nodded his head slightly with an expression of 'That's a good excuse.'

This is the best, I'm sure!

At my words, Serpens looked at me with an expression that seemed to be not the only one, and shook his head as if feeling impermanent, shaking his head and brushing it off.

"What could be more important to being friends?"

I can't bite the answer I've already spit out, so let's skip this one time.

Would it be so terrifying to hear that you had a crush on me?

The guy who used to eat cream puffs as a snack with me before is quite unfair.

"Anyway, are you saying that I ran away to my study because I was afraid I would be asked another difficult question?"

It's not that the question itself is a problem, but it's because my On thought of me on the day I returned from going to the Bar Stool Kingdom. This isn't a normal conversation between brothers, it feels like a search battle, so...

I haven't heard of such a thing. Did that person think of you, Seonwoo?

"Uh, didn't you know?"

Wasn't all the conversations in this mansion meant to be heard by Serpens?

Of course, I thought that would be the case, so I didn't say it right away.

'Come to think of it .'

Now that I come to think of it, Serpens, who was worried about my physical condition, went into the main building first to give me a quick rest.

And I must have handled the paperwork that was pushed back from the office... .

Me and Zeon moved to the annex where the dormitory was located, and Hans stayed there to clean up and gave instructions to the attendants .

'If Xeon and I kept our mouths shut, Serpence wouldn't know, right?'

He seemed to be maintaining security for nothing, and showed me the troublesome writing about the rolling paper.

"What was the conversation going on that day?"

With the eyes of why you hid such a story from yourself, Serpens bruised me.

I dug up like

I explained the circumstances that day... .

I thought about it twice.

While I and Serpens were away, Xeon must have heard stories about me from Hans and the Duke's family.

And just as Serpens felt a sense of alienation between Zion on paper and the real me, Xeon must have felt the same.

So he asked me if I was his older brother.

'I was in a situation where I could dismiss my fatness as an excuse and pass it on as a joke between brothers...

Even if I had taken Zion's place with a bad heart, I would have stabbed it without any risk, as I could have thought that these brothers were playing like that.

But the cufflinks were a little impulsive?

I have something to check for a moment.

Serpence, who was showing signs of worrying about something, got up from his seat as if he was about to go outside.

"Are you going to Xeon?"

" Are you worried about him even in this situation?"

I grabbed the hem of his robe passing by me, stopped his footsteps, and asked a question. Serpens looked down at me with strange eyes.

I'm sorry. Even though it's irrelevant to my will, I stole a precious brother from him]. It's not just stealing, it's like swallowing Zion's very existence. He will recognize me as not him, then the real poem

On will leave no traces of it in this world... . How could he not worry about his family?"

As if to stop the flow of guilt, Serpens carefully wrapped his hands around the hem of his own clothes.

I just have documents to check, so I just want to bring them.

Documents?

Yes.

Looking at those calm eyes, even me, my heart calmed down. finger

Power is released from the lock.

Serpens took my hand away from his clothes and placed it on top of the book I had placed on my chest.

I'll be back soon, so don't worry about it and read that book.

If your superior orders it, of course it should. There is no other aide in the world who listens so well as me.

It's not 'good', it's 'not'.

As he spoke eloquently, he grinned and left that one word.

I opened the library door and went out. And before I had even filled the 10th time I turned the page, Serpence returned.

'He said he would come soon, but he came really quickly.'

In his hands were more documents than I had read.

"What is it all about?"

The resume submitted by Zion Rivelon and the documents that Seonwoo has been processing so far.

I closed the book and took over the papers he handed over.

The first chapter was a resume written by Zion, and from then on, what I wrote was arranged sequentially.

I turned the pages one by one and looked at it slowly, but all I could feel was the thought of praising myself for improving my ability to work.

What is this... , uh?

When I finally returned to the first chapter of what had been written earlier in the day, I felt a great sense of alienation.

The handwriting is changing.

Iknow, right.

I thought I should reflect on myself, who is gradually turning into a bad pen.

At first, because it was an unfamiliar character, it was written in Zion's handwriting as I was accustomed to it.

As I flipped through 3 or 4 pages at a time, it clearly caught my eye.

Originally, the world obeys the law of equivalent exchange. If you get the ability to work in exchange for a typeface...

I believe in such nonsense.

There can be people.

How they come up with such thoughts, the idea itself is a strange expression.

Ah, why! If you work too hard, your hands may get in a hurry, so the writing may be a bit bizarre!

I'll admit it if Sunwoo's speed of processing becomes equal to mine.

"I think writing in easy-to-understand letters is a part of my job."

Isn't it a foul to write fast and have a pretty font?

Inwardly, I swear that I must find out what he can't

see. But whether there is such a thing. It feels like a meeting at the same time as the promise.

"In the case of administrators and deacons, I would have no doubts because I have been in contact with the documents written by Seon-woo every day "

Xeon isn't like that.

I showed these documents to Xeon and followed his busy work, so I wondered if he would believe me even if I explained that it just happened like this.

Even if he asks, it would be suspicious to bring up the evidence right away.

Wouldn't it only deepen the suspicion again?

'Now what?'

I managed to get over it at the time, but it probably didn't dispel all doubts.

Perhaps even thinking that I passed it on was my own mistake, and he may have been suspicious of me ever since.

No, why am I the only one who keeps winning awards like this?! If you read the novel of possessive water, everyone just melted in without any sense of incongruity!'

A character who had a personality like a chap or a timid character suddenly changed 180 degrees one day and became a completely different person.

Even if it happens, is it the basic premise of possessives that the people around you, including your family, watch the change with happy eyes?

Even if we didn't say it out loud, wasn't that promised?

I guess this is the difference between fantasy and reality.

Anyway, it's definitely not my fault.

All of this is Luxmek..., Luxmea's fault. At least, I should have prepared someone with a similar tendency to mine, wouldn't this happen when I put it in a completely weird guy?

There will be no one like you anywhere in the world.

shameful guy.

In such a case, you should have always taken my side unconditionally.

It must have been that he had no respect for God at all, and it seems that he could not ignore the curse of Luxmea, the only god.

Such an attitude is the cause of high-income conflict.

Uh huh... If you get caught, I can listen to your resentment, but after that

is a problem.

Why do you have to listen to your complaints? It's not Seonwoo's fault.

"Even so, it is inevitable."

One day, the real family suddenly disappears somewhere, and if someone you don't know is acting like that, you will have no choice but to resent him.

"Originally, people have to live by exhausting their negative emotions."

Before arguing for good or bad, first

Finding someone to blame and express your anger to. Isn't it something like a basic human instinct to avoid being engulfed by negative emotions?

You know what the real problem is, Serpens better, don't you?

He pursed his lips with a dissatisfied expression.

Because I don't have a child... Anyway, it's a situation where an unknown stranger is in the body of the family. Isn't this a perfect situation for misunderstanding in many ways?

If that's the case, isn't it enough for me to defend you? If I say that you are the messenger of God Luxmea like last time. Although I am not the master of the Holy Sword, I did something similar to awakening on the day of my choice, so would you believe me if I told you that I received a revelation at that time? don't know either.

It was the same with this child, Eugene, and he exaggerated guarantees. It's a big day guy.

What if you don't believe it? Besides, you're making up a revelation that you haven't received...! The messenger of God is not wrong when you put it together, but it's not a fake!

Do you want to walk the Ruin Route?!

No, what's that expression again?! Follow my friend on the way to Gangnam to follow Yubun-suji, wherever I go! Oh, of course, that doesn't mean I'm going to walk the ruined route...

In the future, I will try to reduce the suspiciousness. And I'll have to think of an excuse to convince them when they get caught... .
