Duke, Please Repent! chapter 133

30. Conflict between the Dukes (5)

Even if I went back right away, it was meaningless because the Serpense who was supposed to be told was out.

So, I decided to enjoy a light refreshment while I was there and have a conversation with Solertia.

She wanted to talk about it for a long time, so she had all her plans for the day blank. Thanks to you, I was able to enjoy a relaxing time... .

Isn't it a matter of arguing over a poem? I don't know that Serpence is out

Winston alone fretted.

Even if you do research, it will start tomorrow. What? It's not too late to have dinner and talk to the Duke's study.

Oh my, the study just went up, right?

It's okay, you're my best friend!

While only Winston was anxious. We chatted in a friendly atmosphere, and returned to the duke's residence around dinner time.

She finished eating with Serpens, who calmly walked down from the 5th floor, as if she had stayed in her study the whole time.

There is something suspicious around Rivelon's estate.

There were no elements."

As soon as he climbed into the study and took a seat, Serpence immediately brought up the main point.

"What about the youngest and Zion's mother?"

Everyone is in good health.''

I breathed a sigh of relief. It would be very fortunate if there was nothing suspicious around Youngji, and the child was born safely.

But then a new question arises.

Why didn't you contact me? Nothing suspicious, but is there anything dangerous?

Ummm... the child is overly healthy?

What the hell is this?

Are you saying that there was even a feast because the youngest was an exceptionally good boy? Excited to the point where you can't even reach your sons out of the capital?

'It's not like that.'

As he stared blankly at Serpence with an expression that he did not understand the English language, he further explained.

He was born with divine power.

"Why is the divine power suddenly springing out of there?!"

At least according to Zion's memory, there was no divine power holder in Chin or outside.

all. I know that very rarely, there are children born with divine powers regardless of heredity.

But it's literally a very rare case.

It doesn't seem like it's usually happy. As long as you forget to contact us.

It's not like that. Did I say, that's too much.

Among the arrogant rural aristocrats, they were treated fairly with just a speck of divine power.

There is nothing bad about it.

'It's not that much, but what if Serpense said 'too much'?'

It was a great opportunity.

If you are a family that is greedy for power, you can simply sell off your children.

It would be very enjoyable.

But as far as I know.

Born and raised in a peaceful country estate, the people of the Rivelon family put their families ahead of their families.

It is not that there is no desire to develop the estate, but it is for the better future of the family, not for the prosperity of the family.

Excessive, how much?

"If it is known, it is not only the capital's powerful family, but also the marquis and the dukes.

It might be coveted by the imperial family who doesn't care too much about it.

crazy?!

The sound of coveting the divine power means marriage.

He hopes that the enormous divine power dwells in his bloodline, and that he will brighten up the family. If it's a boy, it's Daryl's son-in-law, and if it's a girl, it's the housekeeper.

...don't get me wrong. To the end, that's what I mean, not even me.

I know, you're just trying to say that it's great, don't you?

The radical remarks that came out without me knowing,

Excuses fence is still busy defending itself today.

At some point, I started making excuses like that, but if I had known that I would be there for myself like that... .

'is not it? It's because I'm afraid that I'll be misunderstood to the extent that I'm doing that.

I wish I could grow up a little more proudly.

But it is a problem that will be resolved gradually. Right now, there is something else in front of me.

"How does it compare to Serpens?" "Not like me. To make the comparison easier for Sunwoo to understand . to be an adult

By this time, you will have the same divine power as the priest you saw at the banquet for the master of the holy sword."

"Why does such a divine power come out of the Rivelon family?!"

"Ask God, not me."

Liena is the youngest cardinal...

Not to that extent, perhaps even the youngest pope to take the throne. He was a young rookie who boasted strong divine power.

Of course, the seat of the pope cannot be obtained by divine power alone. As a companion of the Holy Sword, his skills were certified,

It was also possible because he was strong.

Still, the fact that he is a possessor of unstoppable divine power does not change.

If that's enough, even if I'm the duke's assistant, how can I not?

uh...

Even if they say that I am Serpence's aide and that I am my younger brother.

'I can't be greedy.'

As soon as that fact became known, the Lee Bellon family would be flooded with engagement proposals.

And if you keep rejecting powerful families from weak families. what

It was obvious that something was going to happen.

Usually, in such a situation, the only way to avoid becoming a prey to power is to separate the infant from the mother's arms and entrust it to the church.

'Liena was one such case.'

Unlike the Rivelon family, I come from a long-established family that has a lineage of divine power, but I know that it was not possible to set foot in the center because of its weak age.

Because of that, she couldn't keep her in her arms until she became an adult and chose her own future.

So, from the time she was a baby, she was entrusted to the church and slept as a priest.

came la

"Is there anything you have to say to me?"

Ah! Standing at Solertia-san's shop during the day...

Not like that.

Serpens cut me off with a firm voice. Contrary to the strict expression on his face, there is a certain sense of anticipation in his eyes.

It is like watching a young child who has just started writing, forcing her mother to take a nap, saying that she will read a fairy tale book.

I think he should give him the answer he wants, and give him praise.

was engulfed in feeling.

And what I can say to Serpence in this situation is".

help?

Yes.

Serpence answered willingly.

The fact that the fact has not yet spread to the capital is because the priests stationed in the Rivelon Territory have poor skills. It is at a level lower than the divine power of a newly born child, so it is because the amount of divine power has not been accurately measured.

If you do not deviate significantly from the due date, it is a week after the baby was born and a few more days have passed.

I can see why there is no contact and no rumors about him.

Even before accurate measurements were made, it must have been sanctioned to prevent interference from the outside.

It seems that the priest dispatched from the Great Hall has already visited. By tomorrow, the incident will be bustling. Pretend you heard it then, if I pretend to be a guardian, there will be nothing to worry about.

exactly.

As an assistant, I can be responsible for

Although there are limitations, if Serpens himself stands and protects, he can be relieved.

'As a guardian, send the knights to create a safe environment?'

that's a bit overkill I think Zion's family will feel burdened.

Still, I can attach at least one escort knight.

'Even if it's not, the denomination side is trying to contain the demon worshipers, so they will place proper priests and paladins in the temple of the Rivelon Spirit... .'

put a sigh

The safest way is to burn the youngest child and Zion's mother to the duke's house.

it's rushing

However, there is a problem that I am uncomfortable, and above all, it is impossible to bring a newborn baby and a mother who has just given birth to a distant capital.

'Zeon is

According to Serpence's external image, he is a person who can endure such hard work for his people.

He's not the kind of person who is so rude that he even tries to interfere with the affairs of the family before he even asks for help.

'Of course you think I asked for it.'

It's the same with Xeon.

I don't want to get him to acknowledge me in this way, but he wouldn't take it that way even if I said it was a courtesy from pure concern.

Nevertheless, it is an offer that he cannot refuse as he loves his family.

First of all, I will send the doctor to Rivelon Street by letter. You will need time to think, and we also have work to do in the capital. We should make an appointment for a visit next month.

Yes, Serpense. You were talking to me with that in mind from the beginning, didn't you?

" Didn't you mean to say something about the scroll shop earlier?"

This child is talking

'It's a shame, it's embarrassing.'

The reason he had to put all of his plans together was probably because he was secretly hiring Xeon, and then things got messed up.

He was careful about making suggestions first, and he must have wanted to hear me ask for help.

It's not because I want to tease you or to be sarcastic, but because I know it's for me.

Even if the effort was hypothetical, he

Go beyond pretending you don't know what you're doing... I can't go.

In this case, it is normal to say thank you.

Thank you, Serpens.

Yes.

Serpence's answer came a little late.

The desire to make fun of him is like a chimney, but unfortunately, I had something to talk about today.

"And that's what I was going to say "

Hand over the documents you received from Solertia, and send the details to Serpens.

reached

I'll have to investigate that too.

"Can I get one more informant?"

I can do the background check myself, so it's not a big deal.

It is clear that I am possessed by the novel, but the one who rolls it every day is Serpence.

That's why it's hard to be so talented. There are a lot of things that can be done, so Serpense is not going to roll around hard on his own.

If all those stories are true, you never know when suspicious people will appear around the store again.

Solertia to protect herself

It is said that the building has its own defenses, but that also has limitations.

'If it was possible to directly catch the guy watching, I would have done it earlier.'

Her main specialty is scroll making. If you make a little more concession, even installation magic is possible.

However, the common disadvantage of the two is that expensive materials are required and, nevertheless, only pre-prepared magic can be used.

'The ability itself is not enough.'

It is unavoidable for a woman whose mana sensitivity is low. born in the first place

It is wrong to expect a battle from Sanjik.

Even a small amount of magic can be implemented on the fly, but it won't be of much help.

After all, it means that someone has to watch over her shop 24 hours a day.

Currently, all the personnel there are tied up, so it is not possible because Serpens has to show his face in public affairs.

"What are you going to do?"

I'm in charge of the investigation into this and the previous drug...

Oh, okay. Stop it!

Even the work he entrusted to Eollen himself

Hold her and wait for her to lurk. Where were the ghosts who couldn't work and died?

There was nothing more to hear, so I cut him off.

'Isn't he still monitoring his arm?'

You only have one body, so why do you keep trying to increase your work?

Because that couldn't happen, I had no choice but to entrust it to Iol Ren. You act like you've got to squeeze yourself out somehow.

Sorry, why don't you leave it to Sir Winston? I've heard of the situation, so I don't need to explain it.

There is no load to take care of. My job is... . You escort me on weekends, but I don't always go out, right?

When I spit out the facts as they are without thinking, there is no other white person on this day.

If anyone hears it, they'll think you're a paycheck thief.

It's a good thing Winston wasn't here, and he almost became a fact gangster.

Why, why?

It is nothing.

It seems that Serpens was a little bit like that too. I don't like Winston, it's a questionable expression.

If I had to pick five close friends and likeable people in this world, Sir Winston would be among them.

I didn't say anything.

You said it with your expression. After putting it on your forehead in a very big way!

He must have known that it was not meant literally, but Serpence ruffled his bangs and patted his forehead as if he was concerned.

I'm just saying it because it's a pity to just ruin such a high-quality manpower.

When Winston came to the duke's residence, except for eating and sleeping, he had devoted himself to training.

Occasionally, he received guidance from Serpence, and his skills have improved by leaps and bounds.

I'm working hard right now, thinking that improving my skills will help Serpence, but if I keep making fun of them without giving them a proper task, I'll eventually get tired. Tego . Far from improving my skills, my body doesn't even deteriorate.

It's nice to have it covered.

I know that much.

"Then why Oh, there was nothing I could entrust to you."

The duty of a knight is to go out on the battlefield to fight or to protect someone.

Serpens don't need an escort, and I spend most of my time with them.

Even now, I think that it would be beneficial to Winston himself to learn how to sneak from Eollen even now.

Still, this isn't about infiltrating anywhere, is it?

Wouldn't it be ok if we just need to grab it, hide, and kill the Gicheok?

Controlling the senses is one of the basics.

It is true that he lacks more than an expert in the field compared to a competent person in the same class, but he had a sufficient foundation, so it was trustworthy.

Serpens's head moved up and down slightly. Needless to say, it has a positive meaning.
