CH 116

Duke, Please Repent! chapter 116

27. Deputy Butler of the Duchess (6)

Thanks to Serpense, he seems to have avoided being accused of being a spy of a demon cult.

When work is all over, hyung will be able to come back... right?

The heated emotions subsided and subsided, and in a quiet voice, Zeon asked me a question.

Those words of respect felt very distant.

a little sad

I do not know.

you are?

If you ask me if I can go back to where I used to live, I don't know.

After examining my expression closely, Xeon turned his head and sighed.

Until I find out the exact whereabouts of my brother, I will never be able to accept you as an assistant.

I understand.

I'm not going to treat you like family anymore.

you].

But I don't mean to disturb you... Other than that, let's do it like we have so far.

I didn't mention it directly, but I guess I also noticed that I had entered Zion's body unintentionally.

There was still a feeling of resentment on my face, but I didn't say it out of my mouth.

Then I'll excuse you.

Xeon came out politely, greeted Serpens, and left the room.

" Isn't Serpens going out?"

Instead of going out, he

He went further inside and pulled out the soundproof scroll from the safe he had left open and tore it apart.

It's already the third time today.

Why are you tearing it up again? It's late at night, so we'll just have to talk tomorrow...

No answer. He stood still, looking towards the wall where the safe was.

"Me, Serpens?"

I heard the sound of breathing in and out. I thought he was standing still, but his shoulders were shaking

all.

Are you crying?!

Somehow, even though he laid out plausible false settings for Xeon, he couldn't make up his facial expressions at all.

Looking at me and Zeon, I should have recognized his face, who should have acted a sad and pityful expression, from the time when he was showing the emotion of pain because it was painfully sad.

It must have been because he was holding back the tears that were about to burst out.

Serpen...

I'll tell you when it's hard!

Suddenly, Serpens shouted out anguish. He turned and looked at me.

The look in his eyes looked miserable as if he had been betrayed.

Damn, how hard were you going to tell me?! After I've been down to the level I was before I met you?

Tears from his eyes drenched his long, rich eyelashes and continued to flow down his cheeks and chin.

"So , did I mean that I didn't like you ?"

A single word that felt sad and even miserable fell down heavily.

It's not like that. That's what I was prepared for, but when it comes to reality, it's more than I thought...

Ugh... a dog whistle.

Excuses would mean quitting.

Why doesn't Seon-woo hold a grudge against me? He did nothing wrong, but he said that he should bear his resentment.

Serpence because he slept before

I said that I might have come.

At that time, he passed it as if it were passing by, but it seems that such a thought was still ingrained in his mind.

Is it because I'm weak? So, in this lonely world, with no one to lean on, did you secretly feel so lonely? The only person who knew Sunwoo was too weak to lean on me. Because I depended on you too much ! , after all, because of me "

Without even thinking of taking off the glasses that were in the way, he pushed them up with the back of his hand and rubbed the corners of his eyes.

No matter how many times I wiped away the tears, they flowed non-stop and spread across my hands and face without wiping off.

Serpens, come closer.

I called him by tapping the seat next to him, and he quietly approached me and sat down while crying.

What about the handkerchief?

Hey, heh heh:

Although the clothes are different from that time, items that are used right away, such as a handkerchief, are usually put in the same place.

Recalling that he once pulled a handkerchief out of his pocket,

I searched for you and found it.

'Should I pack some handkerchiefs now? .'

He took off his glasses and wiped his eyes with a soft handkerchief.

It's not because I don't believe in Serpence. It's because I'm weak. I thought I was really okay? But this really I think it was harder than I thought. .

lie.

He's still sobbing and shouting

replaced with

It's true. If there's a lie, it's just that I thought so and couldn't. I'll tell you when I really can't stand it...

At the subject of crying profusely to the point of doubting whether I would be able to see myself properly because of tears, Serpens opened his eyes and looked at me.

Oh, I see. Even if I can bear it, I'll tell you right away if it's hard...

lie.

No, really!

He blinked and tears again

dripped down

Instead of letting old feelings go away like before, it is pitiful to see him weeping because of me.

"Why are you crying so sadly today?"

Because you don't cry.

You know how to cry for others. Serpense is all grown up now.

lie.

..can't you deny that?

As he was about to stare blankly at him with absurd eyes, he opened his mouth first.

"Why doesn't Seonwoo blame anyone?"

" Serpens didn't know, so I thought I was blaming Luxmea and the [Master of the Holy Sword] writer a lot, didn't I?"

It's a sign that it doesn't mean that.

Actually, I think I'm lucky to be here.

,,lie .

Xeon did that earlier. I feel like I've heard all the lies I'll hear for the rest of my life today.

"You say that a lot today.

do you know Would you believe it?" Did you deceive me first? I didn't mean to deceive. I knew he would suffer more if I hid it and it exploded someday. So before that happens, I thought I'd talk about it first.

only.

Now that there is no hope of returning, I buried it thinking that thinking about it would be of no use.

I buried it so deeply and avoided even thinking about it, so I realized that I was already reaching my limit.

I just didn't know.

But I couldn't respond to his bitter gaze, and I quietly looked into his eyes as a drooling centipede.

Yeah, that's right, though. But it's true that everything is done.

If you're going to keep talking nonsense like that, let's all stop.

I didn't dare to ask what I was going to quit.

"I wouldn't have thought of this if I had been in another novel."

lie.

It's a family to the end... but I don't think I was the one who should have come with a high probability.

what?!

His eyes lit up at my words. I was so startled that the tears that flowed nonstop like a broken faucet stopped.

"Is that such a surprise?"

" Ummm."

Anyway, the tears had stopped, so I returned the wet handkerchief to his hand. Serpence folded it flat and glanced at me.

"The reason I read [The Master of the Holy Sword is because of my older sister. And my sister .. A fellow writer I became close with by chance read it and asked me to share my impressions."

* * *

Sunwoo~

"Why, again! What are you going to do this time?"

If my sister calls me so sweetly, when she has something to do for me, when she wants to run an errand for me, or tries to pamper me.

it was only

Hey, Yoo Seon-woo. Anyone who hears it would think I'm just pampering you every day?

Why, Seonhwa Yoo! It's true, isn't it?

Uh-huh? Do you dare call this sister by her first name? You don't want to receive pocket money this month?

I was foolish and short-lived, so I dared to abuse the honor of my heavenly sister! I'm sorry!

As she playfully clapped her palms as she spoke, she smiled contentedly.

Then he alternately tapped my shoulders with the blades of his hand, making a sound like, 'Forgive your sins.'

So what's going on?

"There is a fantasy novel that I am reading these days, why don't you read it?"

It was clear that the tone of the tone that made up the excessive softness had a different plot.

"My sister is running out of stockpiles these days, so she doesn't have time to read the novels she's been reading, so she's kept everything."

"That's the truth the kid who happened to be close.

There is a book, but he suddenly started writing, what do you want me to look at?"

Again, it wasn't just a novel recommendation.

"You can read it later."

"I said that, but as a senior writer, I kept sending gift cones and asked me to give you some comments on how my writing looked . Even though I said I wouldn't accept it, I wondered how desperately it would be because he keeps sending it "

Something ominous was sensed.

" Why are you telling me that?"

I've been thinking about how the reader feels

It doesn't matter what other writers see, isn't it?

therefore?

After all, you like to read novels. Just read it and let me know how you felt about each episode. Simple isn't it? It's no different than just writing a comment!

face is frowned upon

It's no different than just a comment, you have to read it carefully, read it, and write it in full detail!

"Is there any way to write a book review for each web novel that I used to write when I was in elementary school . Never! Even if you give me pocket money.

I hate it, it bothers me! I won't!

Really?

At my words, the older sister put her hands on her waist and raised the corners of her lips crookedly.

I'm thinking of buying a new tablet PC...

Huh? How are you doing right now?

"So, what I used before . No, it's my younger sister who doesn't even listen to my sister's requests anyway. What's pretty? It's better to just trade-in."

"So, where is the serialization site?"

* * *

If my sister had come instead of me, would I have entered into someone else's body instead of Zion?

Either one of the maids of the duke's house, or one of the noble girls... .

'What else?'

Anyway, if the god Luxmea was a sane god, at least he wouldn't have put it in Zion's body.

I got all the spoilers while my sister gave me my review, so in the end, my sister read [Master of the Holy Sword]

didn't

So, it is my guess that I may have come here as a chicken instead of a pheasant.

"I did it because I fell for a bribe , I think if it wasn't for that, my sister would have come."

So you're lucky?

Yes.

Serpens grabbed the hand towel that had been finely chopped at best. Tears welled up in the boy's eyes again.

Why, why?! What's the matter this time?

In the end, you sacrificed yourself... You're saying that it's all about doing, right?

Oh, there's nothing to argue about this.

I know when I look at you. Unlike in Canaan, the world Seonwoo lived in did not feel any threat to life. It must have been a very peaceful and peaceful world for you.

" Is that so?"

" What do you mean?"

More than anything else, the reason I was the first to find a way back

notice i'm asking it

As he noticed, he pretended not to know and trembled.

"Family, friends everything I enjoyed there. I miss it, of course. When I'm alone, I feel a little lonely."

But why!

He tried to wipe his tears away with the handkerchief again, but he wouldn't let go even if he pulled on it.

Reluctantly, he wiped away his tears with the cuffs of his slightly stiff shirt.

I have Serpens by my side, what could be any danger? Besides, my friend who cried on my behalf like this.

There is.

Uh-huh.''

I had experiences that I would not have been able to do if I hadn't come here. It was enjoyable enough.

lie .,,

Where the hell do these many tears come from?

I had no choice but to stop wiping the tears away. He wrapped his arms around his shoulders and patted his back.

If you're so sorry, don't just work every day, and play a little so that I won't be lonely.

Are you very good?

shhhhhhh.

Serpens nodded.
