CH 115

Duke, Please Repent! chapter 115

27. Deputy Butler of the Duchess (5)

The hostility that looked directly at me was more terrifying and painful than I thought.

I was determined to endure any resentment, but I think my own defense came first.

It may be as he said.

It's so unfair that I have to feel guilty every time I see Xeon.

Even if I did not come to this world anyway, Zion is not a living person.

it would have been you

It's not because I want to hijack Zion's body, it's because I'm also a victim.

'Maybe I don't have to apologize to Zion and her family?'

You may have been thinking about it unconsciously.

In that way, he must have wanted to be forgiven and understood by his family.

To Serpense, pretending to be mature, pretending to be soft, and pretending to be strong. He pretended to be Chuck and was running away.

"At that time, the Duke must come to the rescue.

didn't you say that So, if you said you were safe, why did you say that the younger brother must have died in that incident?

As I kept silent, he shouted again.

It was a question of why Serpens did not save Zion but saved me, and I struggled to believe that all the stories I just talked about were excuses I made up.

Everything I said was a lie, and that it was the god Luxmea who sent me was also a lie.

You'd rather believe that all of this is the work of demon worshipers.

If I was going to tell the future anyway, I was crazy thinking that I could have given him a chance by letting Shion know.

However, the god Luxmea instead took Zion's body and gave it to someone else.

It felt as if it had been abandoned by God.

I feel so sorry for my older brother like that.

'It was much better to deal with Serpens.'

If dealing with him was the process of healing him, in the case of Zeon, it's the opposite.

There was a difference in the size of the wound, but somehow it had no choice but to inflict a wound. I feel like I'm being ripped off too.

You can't really do it twice.

"I don't know if you heard I came here to investigate the duke a little and because of that, the butler was monitoring me? It's probably not the difference

peel?

It's all true, but to say it's because of the difference is a lie.

Because it was Serpens who killed Shion.

Are you saying that Hans wouldn't have supervised the second brother? Could it be? He's only been a few months, but he knows what kind of person he is. You or your brother or anyone else must have been monitoring him?

The former aide didn't watch?

"The former aide and the new one who worked for over 10 years

Are you the same as the aide who came in?

The appearance of Xeon speaking with his face contorted, somehow caught the loopholes in my words and looked like a person who didn't want to refute it.

All I could say was that I wanted to admit that I was wrong.

'Yes. Hans, if it was the yangban, it would have been the same if anyone came, not me or Zion.'

On a scale of one to ten, it really doesn't help.

It's not that I didn't think of other excuses.

I returned my vacation and stayed in the capital, but since Sion returned to her hometown, it seems that Serpens could not find it in time... can't say

'You said you died because you went to see your family? To a guy who cares so much about his family?'

it's not supposed to be said

But, as I'd guessed, Zion was tricked by the demon worshipers to help frame the Serpens. So Serpens... .

I can't even talk like that.

In the first place, he's a guy who won't believe anything I say.

...ha.

Xeon was taken aback by the sigh that was exhaled in a frustrated heart.

Even though he was pretending to be strong, he was still wary and afraid of me. The situation is not even wet.

- 1[1 ...

Suddenly something crumbles

I heard it. The magic that had enveloped the room as if it were a coating dispersed.

'Is it still a long way from the end of the effect?'

As I looked around in surprise, I saw an open door and Serpens standing in front of it.

As the door opens, space also opens. As the shape of the magical film was distorted, the magic was destroyed.

Serpens hardened his face, looking alternately at Zeon, who was sitting down like he was about to collapse, and me, who was standing with a scroll bag.

It didn't come even after a while, and even magic was activated, so I wondered what was going on...

Although the time was delayed quite a bit, considering the time I had to go back, it was not enough to say that it was a long time.

Maybe it was just that I sensed the magic and added an excuse to break the magic and come in for privacy.

"What happened?"

It was a question posed to the extent of confirmation, with the expression that he would roughly understand the meaning of the English language.

Serpens entered the room and closed the door.

"Did the master know?"

In response to Zeon's question, Serpens looked at me without saying a word. I meant to use scroll again.

Unlike other magic scrolls, the number of scrolls with soundproofing effects was sufficient.

of Solertia,

"Aren't there a lot of things to worry about when it comes to security when you're a duke family? You know that you can't achieve this effect with divine power, right? I have to tell you a secret right now, so will you come running to buy the scroll every time?"]

I fell for the word , and the 10+1 bundle I bought was going to be used like this.

I tore the scroll that had been stored in the safe behind the picture frame since I was assigned a room.

Just when I head towards the safe

Zeon's puzzled face turned completely dark.

'...Serpence, isn't he really trying to get a guarantee?'

I would die of anxiety, but that didn't mean I couldn't stop soundproofing.

Still, on the other hand, I thought that if it was a Serpence, it would somehow be able to overcome it.

I don't know how far the conversation went... If you were asking if you knew that Lord Zion was in a different world other than Zion Ribelon. Yes, I do.

"Well, but why !"

My On's face, who had felt a sense of insecurity, was wet with a sense of betrayal.

The floor is cold. Sit properly...

You know, why do you still have the author by your side? Do you believe the nonsense that Luxmea sent him for the future of the continent?!

Yes, I believe. Because I believe, I have it by my side.

Serpens tried to raise Zeon, but Zeon avoided his hand.

stood up alone

Since when have you known? Knowing that... Did you hire me on purpose? What were you thinking...!

that's...,,

No! The Duke only found out after the ceremony of choice was over.

With eyes wondering what the hell are we going to do, my On looked at us.

"Because I miss my family so much and you want me No, because I'm worried about Zion and want to work at the duke's house. I don't know that I'm not Zion.

That's all. Knowing that you are my real family... .

"If you talk about your family like that, I , I !"

He couldn't utter a word after that. He looked at me with a confused expression.

Really, is what I've said so far true?

I could see Xeon's eyes fluttering.

According to the Duke's rule, he forgot even that, while he was observing respectful words when Serpence was present.

I don't know what kind of expression he looks at me, or why he was shaken by his denial so much.

Perhaps you are acting quite miserable.

Luxmea-sama sent you, the younger brother is the one who should have died, and the body belongs to you, but there is nothing in it...?

I nodded.

"Then, is that the reason why he died?"

I don't know about that. All I know is after the Day of Choice.

Do you think that makes sense? To tell you the future, put it in the body of someone about to die, and you've never heard of a way to avoid it. Believe that nonsense?

I knew who killed him, so I hadn't thought of it before, thinking that I only had to cover the serpence well.

'It's really absurd... ?'

I can't believe what they say after that.

Is this a mistake by Luxrexia, [Holy Sword]

owner] Maybe the writer was the problem.

That, that...

If that's the case, I'm guessing.

Serpens, who had been watching our conversation quietly for a while, opened his mouth.

Are you sure you're not saying that Zion has become a demon worshiper?

As if he had read my thoughts, he slightly tilted his head left and right.

I'll explain it to you, ...Kyung-eun, you better take a break.

Serpense's expression as he said that didn't look too good either. Tears did not flow, but her face seemed to be crying more than the day she cried for two hours.

Even if you tell him to rest, he doesn't feel like leaving his seat and has nowhere to go.

On the contrary, I thought it would make me more depressed if I was alone, so I sat on the bed vacantly.

Serpens confirmed it and looked away from me.

"At first, the two are different beings. They think and act differently.

The premise that he would face the same perils that the original Zion Rivelon suffered was wrong.

If you have a good excuse like that, please share it earlier.

Do you know what the first thing he asked me on the first day of work? I wanted to live in the duke's mansion, so he asked me to make a room for him.

Hearing this, he is a very suspicious, strange, and ignorant guy.

"It is common to have an aide in a mansion, but if you say that from the first day you go to work.

" No."

"The environment itself has changed since the first day."

If so, there was no need to say how much has changed since then.

Tears welled up in Xeon's eyes.

"Yeah I'm going to fix that timid personality "

It was an unreachable word.

Rather than blaming it, a bitter regret

all.

After exhaling a sad breath, I looked at Serpens in front of me, not someone who was not here.

But then, why did the master come to believe in him? According to Han's expression, he was a man with no spiritual credibility. He also admitted that he had investigated the master with his own mouth...

It would be difficult to trust the person who investigates the boss from the first day of work, but I didn't know that I would tell my brother straight away.

Anyone who handles information should be cool and objective, but with that cool objectivity, he delivered a poignant evaluation without caring about his family.

It is just a confrontation that stems from differences in ideology. However, the deacon does not completely deny Lord Zion's method, and since he acknowledged it to some extent, would he not have accepted him as the deputy deacon?

That's right...

Yes?!

It was so unexpected, I was depressed

I felt a sense of humor and doubts arose.

'I was hoping to take a break and calm myself down, but I didn't mean to take a break like that... .' Serpense's gaze passed me by for a moment.

And if he researched me, there was a good reason. He was envisioning a group for the purpose of saving the continent. And before accepting me as a member of that group, he conducted a preliminary investigation. It was just thrown.

Somehow I think I know the name of the group.

"A few months ago, it was widely known about its existence, so you must have heard of it."

" Illuminati?"

Yes, that's right.

It was also exactly what I expected.
