Duke, Please Repent! chapter 141

31. Duke's Dream (4)

The fact that the Counts of Ferrarius have acted so hastily means that the Dukes of Argento have oppressed them that much.

Haste? Oh, that's right. The Argento door has been attacking the Ferrarius door recently...

If we look only at terror itself, excluding black magic and scrolls, the first person to be suspected would be Count Ferrarius.

Since they suppressed them to such a degree that they hadtily pulled out the other hand, the possibility that Lord Falsum would join them again is said to be very small or impossible.

But the first thing you change your mind is Serpence.

I said this because I thought Seonwoo was overly reassured. The Argento family's aide now says that they are hostile to them, but the past that he was in agreement with the demon worshipers' plans does not change.

Even if they are in a boat now, Lord Eightsum is fundamentally an enemy.

You can change your attitude at any time, so don't trust him too much, and treat him with moderate caution.

You just have to say it from the beginning. Why are you talking like a double-track device put in place to heighten anxiety in a novel? People confuse Lee.

If I read the novel and came out with what Serpens said,

'Ah, what is it? It's like the writer gave a twist for nothing, and it seems like he's trying to twist the case unnecessarily.'

I thought and clicked my tongue

am.

Because of that, I didn't even think about turning the Serpensian interpreter.

Come on! Apologize!''

Uh, uh... I'm sorry?

It's okay to know. I'll skip this one, so be careful in the future.

Serpens tilted his head.

I apologized reflexively because I was asked to do it, but I don't know why I had to do it.

Now, say thank you to me.

What does Seonwoo want to do?

"I just want to receive an apology for what deserves an apology, and to be grateful for what deserves an apology."

Serpence sticks out his tongue with an expression of disbelief, whether those words are plausible in the current situation.

What are you sorry for? If you're sorry, that's it? If you knew you were sorry, why did you do that? Etc. You didn't drive Serpence away with those words! So, hurry up and tell me

Thank you!

That's right, thank you very much.

It was a great irony.

* * *

When we arrived at the meeting room, quite a few people had arrived first. It doesn't seem like it's been a while since I've been here, but it feels like I've just arrived.

Shortly thereafter, the vacancy was quickly filled.

There is no advisory meeting today

Despite the work, everyone attended the meeting on time.

'Well, there was such a commotion at dawn.'

He must have been preparing for an emergency convening. And as soon as I got the call, it would have started right away.

A seated member of the legislature and a standing aide, all of them had their faces hardened.

The involvement of demon worshipers was similar to last year's event on Semita Street, but much more serious.

At that time, I worked in a place where there were no people.

Unfortunately, the only casualty was a demon-worshiping warlock.

On the other hand, today, an incident took place in the mansion of the Duke of Argento.

'Besides, the magic scroll used in the terrorist attack belongs to the shop Serpens invested in.'

At that time, we argued strongly that we would not fall for the attempt to frame Serpence.

I hope that attitude hasn't changed.

"It looks like everyone is here, Argento.

The Duke will tell you the case.

Yes, Your Majesty.

As soon as the emperor entered, he looked around.

After confirming that everyone was present, he immediately called the Duke of Argento as if he had no time to waste.

around 4 am today. As usual, a wagon delivering food materials passed through the front door of the mansion. According to the words of the soldier guarding the entrance to the mansion at the time, he was not an employee who usually came, but a person he was seeing for the first time. The person who originally came was seriously injured, so for the time being

He said that he had come instead, and that he showed the power of attorney stamped with the seal of the merchant he was trading with.

It's the seal of the upper class. Have you checked that one?

The degree of wear and damage of the seal stamped with the 卜 卜 was different from the original stamp on the document received for transaction confirmation.

Was it a forged document?

Fake documents, falsify scrolls. Very just forged master delivered.

Whoever hears it will think he's a counterfeiter, not a demon worshiper!

They were dressed in light clothes with no place to hide anything, and the carriage they drove was no different than usual. Without much doubt, only the items on the carriage were checked and passed.

Huh...

"And while moving to the grocery store, there were eyewitness testimony that he suddenly took out magic scrolls from the inside of his clothes and used them without even having time to dry them. A knight standing guard immediately subdued him, but the magic had already been activated. As a result, part of the main building was destroyed, resulting in one dead and seven wounded.

It happened early in the morning, so most of the users stayed in the dormitory.

Some of the buildings were 'destroyed,' fortunately, the number was small.

'Even so, it doesn't change that people die and get hurt .'

After hearing about the number of victims in person, I finally realized it and my heart became heavy.

"The embodied magic was an attack magic of a scale that was forbidden to be sold to individuals, and I also felt black magic.

I was told that it was a woman with long wavy hair who handed her a scroll and did it. She said she was threatening her family, so she had no choice but to do what she was told.

A woman with long wavy hair in light purple. It's all about referring to Solertia.

According to his words, when I checked his house, I could only see two bodies that had been burned and unrecognizable. Also, I could feel the energy of black magic there.

That's... .

'Killed?'

Why? You didn't have to kill me right away, did you?

Or was there a reason why he had to kill him?

I do not know. Except for the fact that demon worshipers are really motherfuckers.

"The woman he was talking about is presumed to be the owner of a magic scroll shop called Distortion of Phenomenon, and her name is Solertia Reseratus. After staying in, store in the capital

opened. We have secured a new recruit and are currently in custody.

At the words of the Duke of Argento, the emperor's head came out and turned in the direction of Serpens.

There are murmurs from all over the place.

I could see other lawmakers sitting next to them, or people exchanging opinions with their aides.

" Then can you both bring them here?"

Yes. I prepared it in advance. Also, the remnants of the expired magic scroll and

Items sold in her shop have also been recovered and submitted.

The emperor's head nodded as if he was satisfied with the quick work done.

After a while, three people entered the conference hall.

One is the first man I've ever seen, and the other is Solertia. Another one... .

'Are you a court wizard?'

He was wearing a long robe that seemed to be dragged to the ground, as if anyone could see him saying, 'I am a wizard.'

Analyze the two scrolls, and fire a fire to see if they were created by the same person.

seems to have come

Listen, sinners. Is it the woman next to the person who ordered you to commit terrorism?

"Yes, that's right. That woman she threatened to kill my wife and son if I didn't do what she told me to do. The way to get in was prepared by me, so just do it "

"When did I ever do that?"

Obviously, you did what I was told! By the way, why did you kill them?!

Because I've never been like that!!

It's Ham!

The two of them raise their voices.

The emperor did not hide his discomfort and coughed in vain.

Then Solertia, who remembered where this place was, shut her mouth with an expression of injustice.

But the man didn't care, and sat down with a wailing sound.

" how do you feel? Is there any sign of being brainwashed or anything like that?"

I leaned my upper body slightly and whispered in a small voice in Serpens's ear.

asked.

His head shook from side to side.

'Aren't you brainwashed? So what the hell happened?'

As I was about to frown, Serpens turned his head to look at me and raised his hand to cover his lips.

If you have something to say, put your ear to it.

"I think it's like acting."

If that's what the acting fence says, whose years of life and acting career are almost identical.

either voluntarily terrorized, or threatened by someone.

'The family... dead... Ji? Am I right?'

In this case, the two bodies that were found in the house are highly suspicious.

What are you going to do? Aren't you going to just sit and watch?

I don't intend to just watch, but...

It's not the time, this is it.

Serpens's head moved slightly.

In the direction he is looking, the court mage has one hand used,

He was holding a torn scroll and a healthy scroll in his other hand, examining the contents.

'After listening to the wizard's words, it seems that he intends to move.'

I straightened my bent back.

Sir Herond. What a wonder.

Hmm... I don't know who's right, but looking at the magic scroll, it looks like it was made by the same person.

A court wizard called Sir Herond

At those words, Solertia's mouth widened with a face that looked like she had a lot of things she wanted to say.

But she was never given a say.

If the signature sentence is confirmed, it will be more certain... But if there is, I wouldn't say it myself. If I take the time to find it... But it was made for terrorist purposes, so it's possible that I didn't include it in the first place... Hmm.... No. Still, it would be better to analyze it a little more first. If you look a little more closely, something will come out... Ah!

different? Maybe someone else... . oh no What if you deliberately used a different method of expression in consideration of the situation like now?"

Because the wizard Herond started talking to himself.

Everyone focused on his constantly moving mouth, and listened to his every word.

Currently, it seems that the scroll written by the same person is correct, but I cannot say that there is no possibility that it is a forgery.

It came down after such a long agony

In conclusion, it was almost as good as saying that I didn't know.

If it's true, you can shout 'After all, my eyes aren't wrong!'

It is a conclusion that is cleverly drawn on both sides.

What do you think, Duke of Argento?

Recently, the strange affiliation with the Dukes of Prasidus is very questionable, as if someone wants them to be against each other. Demon Worship last year.

The case of an unsuccessful attempt to frame the Duke of Prasidus in the military comes to mind... .

"I didn't know that the victim, Sir, would come out like that."

When I was stating the case earlier, I was trying to come out with the feeling that I was only conveying accurate facts, excluding thoughts and emotions... .

'thank God!'

Lord Palsum standing behind the Duke of Argento, making eye contact, and blinking his eyes wide in gratitude.

Sir Armsam's brow furrowed. Jeon
