Duke, Please Repent! chapter 119

28. The Duke and the Illuminati (3)

Serpence pulled the line for the prepared call to the drawing room, Doo1, who briefly asked Eugenes for his pardon.

After a while, Xeon immediately arrives as if he had been waiting.

'Why did you suddenly call Xeon?'

He didn't give me a single glance, and handed Serpens some papers. Serpence flipped it over quickly and nodded slightly.

There is no omission of content and you can see it at a glance

It's well organized, so I don't think there's a need for additional explanation. Thank you.

thank you.

Xeon replied with a rather complicated expression, bowing his head.

Probably one of these locations.

Serpens said, handing over the papers to Eugenes. As he handed it over, Euges glanced at Zeon.

Is that...?

"I am the deputy deacon. I know about the Illuminati, but I am not a member.

all. We had no choice but to use the power of the family as we did not have an information system in place yet."

i See.

Coincidentally, it was Hans who greeted her today as well as the last time I visited for Serpence's birthday.

In other words, his introduction has not yet been heard.

Charon and Sion resemble their father, so they look like brothers, but Zeon closely resembles their mother.

Perhaps that's why he didn't realize that he had a brotherly relationship with the clever Yuji Sudo, Sion.

After seeing Serpens openly commenting on the Illuminati, he seemed to think he was a trustworthy person.

She turned her gaze and looked at the documents handed to her.

'This is intentional.'

In order to prove for sure that I am not the enemy of the Continent, assuming the possibility that Zeon did not believe it anyway.

Winston, who had a history of being saved by the elves, Eugene and the Illuminati, was set up as a witness.

It's kind of a performance.

"The deputy butler may leave."

After Zeon bowed his head slightly to greet Serpens, he went out of the drawing room.

"There are three candidates but the distance between each place is quite far, isn't it?"

Jujis looked at the documents carefully and asked.

Serpence, who was silently slicing the citron tart, couldn't answer right away.

Chew the contents in your mouth without making any marks, and lift the crystal glass with an elegant hand gesture.

A natural movement, as if saying, 'Before speaking, I just want to choke.' After taking a sip of it, Serpens opened his mouth.

Before he was active, these are the abandoned mines of the Terra Room Kingdom.

That was the clue.

Yes. And according to Shion, he was a Dwarf. There are mechanical traps around the hideout, and they still work well, so you should be careful.

I'll be careful. Thank you for your concern.

Eugene had a distinctive bright smile. For a very brief moment, a look of embarrassment passed by Serpens' expression.

To the last, the words to be careful just a moment ago were polite to Serpens. It was just a slurred word like a habit.

It's just a pretense put on the mouth that was conscious of Winston, who didn't know the real Serpence yet, and it's just acting.

'I wonder why Eugene, who must have understood himself to a certain extent, expressed his sincere thanks to that.

Ji.'

However, the change in expression was very subtle and disappeared quickly. As always, it was as natural as ever, but she covered it with an infinitely artificial smile.

What you're looking for is also finding, but it's a long way to go, so it's going to be a long business trip.

"How long do you think it will take?"

"If you go to all three places, it will take two or three months? Is it urgent?"

Eugene asked with a nervous expression. Are you asking if anything that will cost a fortune for the Illuminati will happen anytime soon?

Although not for that reason, there were reasons to hurry.

If you leave it alone, someone else will find it in about three to five months.

Once again, it's pretty specific. It's not a revelation, it's foresight.

That kind of revelation.

Serpence smiled and turned around with no sincerity towards Eugene.

'Even if you throw in a dog-tteok-like setting, you will interpret it on your own because it's Yujis who eats it perfectly.'

Winston explains more than she does.

will need

He didn't even dare interrupt the master's conversation, and he was just rolling his eyes blankly next to me.

Actually, I am... God Luxmea's samurai, the lion... Kuk, Ra.

There is no separate remark from the second bottle. Time and space, the shrinking shame comes rushing in.

Previously, I had explained something similar to this to Xeon.

But at that time, he was in a very emotional state, and there was a desperate need to calm him down somehow.

So I couldn't even think of the thought of being ashamed or embarrassed when I spoke.

Moreover, saying, 'God Luxmea has sent me here' and saying 'I am the messenger of God' are different from the meaning of the word.

If the former feels like an office worker dispatched overseas, the latter is a middle school bottle or a pseudo-teacher no matter how you try to package it.

'Tonight is a quilt kick angle.'

At the sudden remark of my lion, Winston asked what was that, with a puzzled expression on his face.

I can't keep my mouth shut to continue the detailed explanation.

When he glances at Serpens to tell him instead, he usually does strange things well, but he asks why he is doing this today.

It's okay! If you're having a hard time, you don't have to tell me anymore!

Instead, Eugenes put his hands in front of his chest and intervened with a sad expression on his face.

You shouldn't spit that fact out of your mouth... Are you that kind of person?

What the hell is the 'something like that' I've been talking about?

I didn't know what it was, and I didn't want to know.

I struggled to ignore it while Yuji Suga, who had spread his imagination by himself, gave further explanations.

When it's time to worry about that, put another slice of yuzu tart or more on the empty plate of Serpence.

The baby leaked for a little while. Anyway, we'll be able to find it before that, but I'll try as soon as possible just in case you don't know. But...

Yes.

Yes?

Serpence allowed him to think about whether or not to speak out of something, without listening to it.

'He's going to make a big deal... !'

He knew what to say and signed it first. Previously, they tried to get me a guarantee, but there is no such thing as a very special case.

Eugene also seemed to be perplexed.

"You know what I'm going to say."

It's strange that a famous diplomat is absent for two long periods of time.

Because of this, isn't it that you want to hand over the position to someone else and enter the duke's residence as Zion suggested last time?"

No, that's right.

Fortunately, I guess it wasn't a blank check.

But this time it was Eugese, so damn it. I'm a little worried about what he'll do if he suddenly changes what he says because he's a bad guy.

And I don't know when I'll be called out like this again... It's the same Illumina Tea, but if I'm alone, I'll contact you...

She smiled bashfully, adding something she didn't ask.

In the meantime, I think I was lonely because I felt like I was being left alone. Even last month, I didn't even see him, let alone the door.

We can't help but be envious of us living in the same mansion

Uh! Wait, Serpence! So you're saying that Yu-Ges is allowed to live in the duke's manor?!

He reflexively tried to make an impression at my startled cry, and then smiled as he recalled Winston's presence.

Even if it's not the Illuminati, if it's not Wiridi, the security in the mansion will be better. Is there no reason to refuse?

Does Serpens want to make the duke's residence into an iron castle?

His presence should be safe enough already, but I don't know how much more you want to make it safer.

I tried to listen to it, but I quietly chewed the tart at his reprimanded gaze as to whether the conversation was not progressing because of you.

"There is a distance between each place, so it would be better to share it if possible.

just . Right now, due to the internal circumstances of the empire, it will be difficult to leave like the last time."

Serpens let out a sound that didn't make sense to him. It's true that it's hard to leave the place, but there's a record of already hitting the road to find it. Sharing is bullshit.

"No. It's division of labor and division of labor to do what each person can do, isn't that a big deal?"

Thank you for thinking that way.

Seeing the external smiles and the serpens spewing out pretentious words, Euges me

glanced at I'm going to die of discomfort, so why not ask for something to be dealt with quickly?

However, I'm a little worried about how I'm going to bring those enormous wealth by myself.

According to him, there is also an empty pocket there.

" This time, it's subtly detailed, but the most important thing is sloppy information."

Serpens looked at me while nodding his head with an expression that he sympathized with Eugene's words.

'why? I'm proud!'

All of this is due to the author of [Master of the Holy Sword].

'If we were going to send people to this world from the beginning, we should have emphasized the name of the important area over and over again!'

Who the hell reads a novel and thinks, 'Maybe I will be possessed by this novel!' and memorizes even a place name that is only mentioned once or twice.

So I'm proud

'Before climbing a mountain, how can I remember what was mentioned once, just as the story of moving to a certain mountain passes?'

Looking at the place name, I wondered if there was a familiar name for the mountain, so I tried to look through the atlas without Serpense's knowledge.

Not even a single feeling came.

But if I knew that there was even one mention, it was obvious that he would stare at me like I was pathetic.

Let's pretend it didn't come out at all.

Then, is this the end of the business transfer?

"Yes, do you have any more questions?"

I just commented on the situation in the Empire.

you did... . Oh! If it's confidential, you don't have to tell me. The succession issue has been settled, but I want to see if something else has happened."

Apparently, since Eugenes was not an insider, the details were not conveyed.

The story Serpens heard from Frederick about Count Masanal and his doctor. And briefly told the story of the Duke of Argento.

Although it is not a story to be recklessly revealed to foreigners, there was nothing harsh in the setting of the Illuminati, a pan-continental organization.

In an instant, the atmosphere became that of a secret meeting of a secret society.

Winston wondered how he would take the present situation, so he glanced to the side.

He was quietly furious at the actions of the Dukes of Argento, who tried to find fault with the respectful master who knew nothing but peace.

In a hurry, I picked up the glass that was in front of me, took a sip, and put it down quietly with the expression that I ate something I couldn't eat.

Enjoy the sweetness in moderation with the serpent that pretends not to be oily and revels in the sweetness

It's because I bought the champagne with the highest sugar content, taking me as my standard.

'I don't think I usually hate sweets.'

She wouldn't even know Winston's taste. So I guess I hadn't considered it.

After Eugenes enters the mansion, there will be occasions like this in the future.

Even if not, if the Illuminati goes beyond the setting and is properly launched, there will be a meeting place.

Maybe I'll go on an expedition with these people

may be

'Every time we eat something, I can't tell Winston to suck his finger alone... .'

It seems that Winston's taste characteristics should be understood in advance.

I heard that the two dukes of the Empire have always maintained a cooperative relationship for the sake of the safety of the Empire while keeping each other in check and balance for a long time.

Yes. So it is necessary to investigate further. It would be better if it was a simple lust for power, but

If not... .

Serpens was silent.

In the worst case, one of the two dukes of the Empire might have to be lifted whole.

It shouldn't have happened.

I just hope so.

Eugene and Serpens exchanged words with heavy expressions on their faces.
