Duke, Please Repent! chapter 113

27. Deputy Butler of the Duchess (3)

What's the point of looking into a lost and ruined barn?

I returned the document containing the change of handwriting in my hand to Serpens.

Without even having to turn his head, the figure of Serpens lying on the armchair and handed the documents to the ceiling was captured from a low angle.

How long are you going to stand? My legs won't hurt I'm sure.

Serpens looked down at me with a cold gaze. It is an expression of whether you are qualified to point out other people's attitudes now.

Originally, conversations with friends are supposed to be in a comfortable position. Serpens are very polite and well-rounded.

You're so comfortable.

If you twist, Serpens will also lie down.

It was a looking down angle.

The effect is that Serpens with an angelic face lowers his eyes with an absurd expression and sends a stern gaze.

was awesome!

I took a lot of damage!

I had no choice but to get up and sit down according to the official usage of the chair.

You said you won't read any more books today, so why don't you just put down those papers and bring a chair over here?

I was still half lying down, reclining in my armchair. Still, Serpens must have given me a high score for sitting with my buttocks on the chair.

He puts the received papers on the desk.

Putting it aside, he gently picked up the desk chair and moved it closer.

''Oh! The first day I went to work, Serpence will give you anything you need, so what you said to me is still valid, right?"

Looks like a lot of it has been adapted?

He sat down on the chair he had brought and said as if exasperated.

''What about it, as long as it makes sense!

Serpence, who said something that could be used as an excuse, was wrong.

As I said with a smirk, he struggled for a moment and eventually nodded slightly.

it was Anyway, I mean to listen.

If you want me in the current situation, I've said that it's not okay to cut off the deputy butler. Can I send it to Yeongjuseong?

Somehow, the word "cutting" sounds very mundane.

By the way, even if it's administrative, isn't it actually demotion rather than dispatch to move away from the owner from the standards of butlers?

Where are you going to find Hans' successor?

If we can't find him, we'll have to call in the person who is on the field. I heard that he also received training as a butler...

Wow, a kkondae mind.

Rather than collecting information while working as a butler, I'm talking about the grandson of Hans, who is said to be a fielder].

What kind of era is the present age, forcing the family business that you don't like".

'Ah. That was the time, right!'

Fortunately, Serpens tilted his head as if he didn't know what kkondae meant.

"Well, whatever it is. I told Xeon that I was close to Serpence, but what would he think of him if I let him go away under suspicious circumstances?"

Putting potential threats out of sight to avoid the current situation is not how Serpence works.

They had to either uproot the source of the threat or, if not, keep it nearby and monitor it.

'You think it's your fault.'

Other than that, he would say

there was no milk

Anyway, this timid fence. had to know

Things are twisted, Min-, where is Serpence's fault alone? There's a reason why I put off my family and put off telling the truth.

but I should have considered the possibility that you and Zion Rivel Ron were separate people.

"This is not a world where things like possessive objects, regressions, and reincarnations exist. If you doubted me, you would not know; believing

How do you come up with that?"

Maybe the worldview itself is fantasy enough, or the general literature is fantasy enough, so there's no such thing as a fantasy novel.

It's really unfortunate.

I understand the possession... but what do regression and reincarnation mean?

It's just our world novel.

A world that expresses that there is no magic to turn back time, and that death is embraced in the arms of the god Luxmea.

Possession, I am right in front of you, and there are cases when a demon or a spirit is attacked by a person.

there is. There should be no problem in understanding.

But the other two are different. Is it sometimes used to mean that regression returns and reincarnation means that you die and come back to life?

Since it is such a worldview, the concept itself must sound vague.

''Anyway! The point is, I don't know, so don't be too sorry for me. You're just thinking of me, aren't you?

But the result is...

People make mistakes and live while making mistakes! Even good intentions can turn into bad just because the results aren't good.

is not it? The methods and results are a bit different, I know for sure that they tried to help me by thinking on their own, but I don't want to blame them for that. Thank you and it's just wonderful, what!

With that said, what should I say about Serpense's expression... .

It reminded me of a child who broke the bowl while secretly washing the dishes, saying he was going to help my mother.

I thought I would be scolded, but I was worried that I would get hurt, and it was as if I had even heard the words thank you for helping me.

that's the look

Surprised by the noise of the vessel breaking, and bewildered by the sharp fragments scattered here and there.

I was scared because I thought I would get scolded, but I was relieved because I didn't do it, and I'm sorry that it did harm against my intentions to help.

Still, thank you so much for taking care of yourself first.

The feeling of saying thank you again fills me with emotion and guilt.

All of those emotions are mixed together, like a crying child who doesn't know what to do and just rolls her feet.

Somehow, everything will go well! If the youngest child is born anyway, I'll have to go down to Rivelon's estate, but if it's going to be easy, I'd rather only get caught by one Xeon and get help from him...

Sunwoo.

''Of course it's best not to get caught at all, yes.

Wow, you're staring at me very terribly.

Of course, the people who stared fiercely with their mouths closed with tears on their faces, rather than being a threat, they felt like they were harassing a child, so their conscience just pricked me.

Anyway, it's not about Xeon.

Then, it must have been the intention to change the subject in a sneaky way.

"There is no point in worrying about looking at the water that has already been poured."

I might be able to wipe it off though.

The carpet has already eaten up.

Serpens let out a long sigh, 'Hi-.'

If the ground can be extinguished with a sigh, it has the momentum to penetrate the 5th floor of the peacock's mansion and dig into the depths of the earth.

"It was something I was trying to say before.

yo. This?

He was suspicious of my words, but he blinked softly as if to tell him something.

It's about the debt I owe Serpens.

uh... . It's not a lot of money in terms of my personal assets, but it's not even an amount I'd just give my aide... . It may be misunderstood that it is stolen for the purpose of making slush funds or using it for other illegal purposes. .

Serpens answered with a smirk.

Rather than being misunderstood, I'd say it's possible that you might be caught off guard like that.

It's not public money and he spends his money as he wants.

'It's true, it's hard to live with integrity.'

Since I've always lived so cleanly, it's as if the little dust on the paper seems to have been spilled with ink. It's just dust that can be blown away cleanly.

Those who grab it and rip it apart as if it's going to tear a piece of pure white paper

This is the problem.

'I don't know if it was before the Day of Choice or if he had been chosen by the Holy Sword.'

He was no longer the savior of the continent. You can tell just by looking at the Duke of Argento right now.

'Especially the devil worshipers are the problem.'

Even in [Master of the Holy Sword], didn't he try to keep the Serpens in check and use the dark side to estrange his relationship with Humanus?

"Is there something that happens that you have to run out of big money in a hurry?"

No, it's not like that...

If you're short on salary, shouldn't you reduce the money you send to the Rivelon family?

When it comes to spending, it's all about snacking...

He frowned as if he didn't know what he was trying to say.

Serpense doesn't understand that it's just annoying to see the debt go out when you get your pay stubs.

If you don't need money right away, just wait a few months.

"Will it be paid off in a few months?"

It's good news while listening. The amount of money was not as big as I thought .

That's a long way off, and there's a salary negotiation instead.

Is it too far...?

By the way, I started working in May. Now, in about two months and a fortnight, a year is almost complete.

Of course we'll negotiate a salary, but I didn't mean to pay off debt, I mean pay it back.

Why is he making an expression of 'to the subject?' rather than 'how?'

Serpence said, 'Do you know who Ladrava is?

"How does Seon-woo know him?"

Ladrava.

Hundreds of years ago, the name of the great thief who gained notoriety while active in the entire Canaan area was D-I.

his identity has not been revealed

I don't know if that's his real name.

It's just that after he stole something, he always left the four letters of Ladrava in his place, so he was called that.

Of course, we didn't send out a notice like it appears in our world's cartoons.

"Of course, I know because [Master of the Holy Sword?

There was still plenty of time for Humanus to discover it.

I didn't read it by counting the months, but there were grounds for estimating it.

It is said that he accidentally discovered the warrior's armor during the ordeal of obtaining the second out of three.

He must be on his way to his first trial now, so there is still time left.

Later, when I had more time to spare, I was going to invite him to visit, but .

'I don't see any sign of that!'

Seeing what this guy is doing, I think he'll create something that doesn't exist.

I'll tell you first, then take the time to make an appointment or not. I came up with the idea that this can't be the case.

"Didn't you tell me everything in that book?"

I did all the important events as I remembered them. Oh, by any chance, during this period, what did the Crown Prince did, where and how he overcame God's ordeal, and what he did while resting in between. Were you curious about that as well?

It's a waste of time to even listen to it.

Say it like that's a waste of time

If so, what am I going to do with the time I spend reading it?

Even if this child read novels, he would not have thought of anything other than the essential reading books for nobles that foster literary literacy.

I must have read one more thesis while reading a fun-oriented novel for killing time.

Anyway! I put all the treasures in the subspace pockets prepared there, sold them, and used them as funds for my activities.

There were a total of 6 subspace pockets, one each, and the remaining one was sold.

Is it okay to intercept something like that?

Of course! I couldn't get any support from the Empire, so I used it instead, so I don't need it anymore, right? Handing over one of the pockets found is enough to manage the burden jointly, well.

You can put your whole bag in your bag and take it out when you need it and hand it over.

"So, where is it?"

One of the mountains in the Kingdom of Terrarum.

'What's the name of the mountain?''

.haha!

He tried to move on with a smile, but Serpens's eyes went cold. It was the eyes that said that you are so.

The fact that it has not yet been found in the land of dwarves digging into any land with veins... It must be one of those places where all the veins were exhausted before the thieves were active and left unattended.

Ah, that's right! Abandoned abandoned mine!

It's an expression that tells you to say that first.

"What else comes to mind?"

In the process of containing the mountain of gold and treasure, the remains of a dwarf buried in it were found. Perhaps the remains of Rad Lava.

There were not one but six subspace pockets, so it would have been much safer to carry treasures in them.

But I dared to build them up by setting up traps in abandoned mines.

The reason is .

'Looking at the golden sea, you probably want to swim in it.'

And maybe he couldn't get out of the process, so he was buried and died.

Judging from the location of the ashes found and the fact that they suddenly stopped working and disappeared, there was no answer other than that.

"So, he used the tools he made for the crime. All of the traps are mechanical traps he made himself, so they don't get caught by magic detection, and still

Does it work well?"

Are you talking about asking the Crown Prince to purchase one of the found subspace pockets?

Can you see this child?

There was no need to even run a Serpense interpreter.

'You must have decided that it would be better to do something else with that time.'

Even if he goes, he says he will not go because he has no benefit, is cumbersome, cumbersome, and has no interest in such treasures.

coveting subspace pockets instead

It was the same, so it was also a proposal to come to an agreement with that.

You say you can do anything, you liar!

"Isn't that the Seonwoo's own adaptation of my words?"

Still, you acted like you'd listen to me earlier!

I nodded my head and now come back.] Dani, I really did too much.
