Duke, Please Repent! chapter 131

30. Conflict between the Dukes (3)

Three days have passed since then.

As Serpens had expected, the Dukes of Argento built the dummy. Taking it one step further, I announced that it was aimed at Lord Eight-Breath, not me.

'He's strong enough to break through the mansion's strict security, but he couldn't come near the building because the duke's residence wasn't green enough to completely ignore it... .'

anyway.

Their concentration was dispersed while guarding the knights and soldiers guarding the mansion, and they claimed that the accuracy was lowered by aiming at Lord Palsum at a distance.

He succeeded in catching the assassin, but before he even tried to interrogate him, he used the poison he had hidden and killed himself without any help... .

'You mean you caught the wrong guy and killed him?'

At best, he thought that all he could do was to convince him that he would give him a reasonable reward and spend him life in prison, and release him if the real culprit was caught.

Perhaps he realized that he had completely missed the culprit.

I looked at Serpense's expression as he received the report.

At the thought that someone innocent had died because of his actions, he was making up a face of great suffering.

And we found out the identity of the drug that ordered the investigation.

Whether that was the end of the announcement of the position of the Duke of Argento, Xeon continued the report.

Results were faster than expected.

'but. Serpence hallucinates Jihyo

Because I was informed that it causes .'

Xeon gave a presentation saying what kind of test did Xeon have, and what kind of reaction was there among drugs with the same effect as a result.

Serpens fumbled through the data that Xeon had posted, and occasionally shook his head.

I didn't receive any data, and I didn't know what he was talking about, so I pretended to listen with one ear.

When I turned off the sound, I naturally took a closer look at Xeon's face.

all.

'Why do you look so tired?'

It looks like someone with an ailment in the house.

Did you even organize your data overnight? Or maybe it's because I went to work yesterday. You seem very tired.

His job is to collect and sift the reported information.

It is the role of organizing necessary information in an easy-to-read manner and instructing the informant to investigate a certain part in more detail regarding the missing content.

A place to find information

It wasn't, but Zeon is learning as the head of the duke's intelligence group after Hans.

Without knowing the field, you cannot lead an organization properly just by holding a desk.

As Xeon moved into the duke's residence, Hans, who had been working alone without holidays, was able to work six days a week, taking turns with Xeon and taking off-duty breaks.

And since yesterday was Xeon's off-duty, it seems that he naturally left the duke's residence and came to understand the site with Eollen.

'The fact that the head of the intelligence group is Hans

Because it is unknown.'

Ollen Lee is also commonly known as the butler's granddaughter. Externally, it is the setting that the two were dating through the introduction of Hans.

Of course, overtime and holiday overtime pay will be changed and paid in the name of a bonus.

The deputy butler's complexion doesn't look good. Or, was it because he was out of work yesterday? The job is not suitable for his aptitude...

Even Serpens didn't seem to be in good shape.

The setting fence, which is known to take care of subordinates, goes out after reporting

Ryo summoned Zeon and stood up.

No. It's fun to learn new things, and thanks to Ollen Lee, I had a good trip yesterday.

"Are you tired then?"

As for the excessive use of divine power, before Serpens, who was the number one on the continent, raised the divine power, Zeon denied it.

No. It has nothing to do with work. It's just for housework...

Somehow, her face looked as if she had Uhwan at home, so it must have been.

housework. In other words, about the Rivelon family.

Serpens gave me a glance at the story.

'Is there something wrong with Rivelon?'

I was worried and wanted to ask, but I shut my mouth to open the question as to whether I could ask.

Can you tell me if it's okay? I don't know if I can help.

That's... It's been about a week since my mother's due date has passed, so it was time to contact her, but there was no news from home. I was just a little worried about that.

I only knew it was roughly April, so I was prepared that I would be contacted within this month... .

'Isn't it a week before the aides meeting?'

I just got anxious.

Ummm... Shouldn't it be time to go downstairs?

Since the child was born, I may have just forgot to write a letter because I was so concerned about it. I have a job to do.... I sent you a letter this morning, so I will wait until I get a reply.

Contrary to the positive words, it seems deep.

He may have just forgot as he said, but the timing too. can only worry

'I wish it wasn't a big deal... .'

I hope he didn't even touch a newborn baby... ok?

I'm worried like this alone, but Xeon is terrified.

It was clear that he was imagining all sorts of things in his head. Even though he would want to go down to the Rivelon Territory right away, that's just the way he said he would stay.

I suspect that it may be because of the idea that solving this problem is the top priority, thinking that the Argento family may have done something.

If you change your mind later, please let me know.

Thank you for caring me.

Xeon bowed and left.

Don't worry. If you're going to attack me, you don't even need to touch the Rivelon family. Even more so if you're targeting a newborn baby. It won't be a big deal.

As soon as Xeon left the office,

As if to be relieved, Serpens spoke to me first.

Is that so...?

If you really care, there is a way to sneak around using that 'gate this weekend.

"Do you need to go to me soon? But , um. You're busy, so maybe it's not bothering you too much ."

Anyway, it is a place that needs to be maintained periodically. It is not difficult because it is only heard at the same time.

In the Kingdom of Bastul, I could not empathize at all with worrying about other people, and I was talking nonsense.

When Xeon found out, I didn't know how to comfort me, so in the end I just cried.

It became natural to be genuinely caring and concerned. There are a lot of things that comfort me.

Wow, you're growing really well. Who raised Serpens so well?

shamefully. If you give me an answer, where can I get better?

* * *

It's weekend.

Serpens headed to the dark side to use the gate as he had foretold to me.

And I am with Winston at Solertia's shop, ; Distortion of the Phenomenon .

This is because there was a semi-threatening letter from Solertia telling her to come to the store more often and telling her to cut off school.

It's not the time to go out and play... .

After all, because of the excessive use of scrolls with soundproofing magic, when

I was going to stop by, so I decided to visit.

You can go up to the second floor right away. Do you know where the drawing room is? The president's sister has been waiting for you since before.

I must have told you in advance that I would come.

Without waiting after calling Solertia, Ella sent us straight up to the second floor.

Welcome, Mr. Sion. But the Duke... didn't you come with me?

Yes? Do you have to come with me?

The letter said to come together

there was no tongue Also, I was always alone when I went to her shop.

But somehow, Solertia looked for Serpens as soon as she arrived.

Ummm~. No, no. Well, I can't help it. Are you really not here?

Rather than looking for Serpens who are not here, don't you usually ask about Winston who is here for the first time?

Something was strange. It's like sending such a letter all of a sudden.

Actually, the reason I called Ms. Sion today is because there is a dragon... Over there, the person who came with me is drawing a sword?

Not only did he pull it out, he even blocked my way.

It doesn't seem suspicious to me to ask if Serpence is still here.

I did it because I had something to tell you! I think it would be better to deliver it directly to the Duke! I'm scared, so will you give me some life?!

Solertia exclaimed urgently. But Winston, far from saving his life, sharpened his sword.

Then write a letter... Or can you come to the duke's residence in person?

Ugh... Recently, there were people monitoring our store, so we had no choice but to do it.

Winston's body was so large, he leaned slightly to the side and looked at Solertia beyond.

His face, with a sad expression on his face, was pale.

I poked Winston on the shoulder, wishing that I would have a better life.

He stepped aside and put the sword in. However, Solertia's complexion was still pale as if she was still shooting life.

Again, communication is the moment when you learn that speaking is best.

I heard that there are quite a few people who asked for confidentiality while submitting a scroll production request the other day... No, what the hell is that guy!

I tried to say it with patience, but it seemed that my life was too threatening to ignore.

The haze-like thing blooming around her seems to have generated magical power to counteract her life.

As much as that, Winston also started to load Aurors to live, so Solertia finally gave up.

It's all wrong! I wanted to say something while setting the mood!

He looks like he's about to sit down and cry. Sadness and sadness were drowned out in that cry.

Sir Winston, the conversation is getting difficult, but would you like to save me some life?

" Are you trustworthy?"

Perhaps.

As if life had finally come to an end, Soler Tia's face became more comfortable.

Once you're seated... Oh, no. If you don't like it, don't.

It looks like her mouth is moving, it seems like she's swearing without a sound. how sorry

I'm sorry, I've got some work these days. I've even been escorted like this! Then, Solertia-san's words and actions just seemed too suspicious...

To the extent that I want others to feel this way when they see me.

It wasn't, but when it was confirmed that there were no serpenses, a bunch of suspicious people would pop out and surround us, or the prepared magic would attack us.

Even the letter I sent you is very suspicious

it was rough

Isn't it rare that we usually even cut off school because we don't show our faces often? It was just natural evaporation.

Okay, it's not that Shion-san did that on purpose... If the duke's family escorted an aide, it must have been a really big deal.

I started pasting it before there was a big deal, but let's assume that's roughly the case.
