CH 153

Duke, Please Repent! chapter 153

32. The Duke and the Count of Rivelon (3)

The atmosphere was about to go down for a moment, but Serpence smiled and showed interest in Vivi again, so it was somehow overcome by a small skit.

Even so, it is quite surprising that the divine power has already been used for a special purpose.

Oh, is that so?! I've already raised three children, but this is my first baby with divine power...

As a parent, it was a story that would open your ears.

The Countess couldn't hide her admiration, 'My kid is a genius!' The tone of her voice also rose with a fuss.

If it's not rude, would you mind taking a closer look at the child?

Serpens made up a friendly look and looked at Eo Vivi, and asked in a soft tone.

The relaxed expression on his face was very natural.

Anyone who sees a baby would think he's so cute and adorable that he can't stand it.

Okay. Oh, it's not like this, would you like to hug me?

"Can I?"

"Of course , oh my. Why does he keep talking like this today?"

As the Countess tried to pull the baby away from her arms, Bibi grabbed her clothes and pushed her even further into her arms.

It's like I never want to fall, 'Wow... .' And is it a babble mixed with grudges?

was doing it

I'm not really that kind of kid... I'm sorry, what should I do?

It's okay. I think it's a little strange because it's the first time I've seen him.

To the bewildered and helpless Countess, Serpens smiled lovingly and said:

She thanked her with her eyes, and with her mouth said, 'It's okay, it's okay.'

'How could that be?'

How many times have you stopped by Serpens and the orphanage as part of your volunteer work?

I've never seen a child reject him. It had nothing to do with the age of the child, even when it was placed in the facility.

Everyone followed him well.

I'll let the divine power flow for a while, so please hold it as it is.

Instead of forcibly dropping the child she disliked, Serpens placed her hand on Vivi's head while she was in the countess's arms.

Vivi's body shuddered slightly at that touch, but when a gentle, silvery divine power flowed from his hand, I

It seemed to loosen up slowly.

A mother holding a cute baby in her arms and a Serpense emitting a silvery brilliance with her hands on her baby's head.

The figure was a sacred painting itself enough to decorate one wall of the temple.

"This is quite surprising."

Serpens raised his hand and gave out a short, exclamatory voice.

At his words, everyone in the seat lit up their eyes and waited for the next word.

"The quantity of divine power is quantity, but it

I think I've already figured out how to deal with it.

I'm really?!

Yes. I feel like I'm trying to consciously oppose the force coming from outside.

He seemed to be genuinely surprised now. Actually, I am very surprised.

'Consciously? Not reflexively?'

No matter how great the divine power, Oh, it's a fantasy world.

It is reasonable to assume that babies under 2 months of age do something consciously.

Did you do that?

'People in this world say I have no common sense, but this world itself is not common sense at all?!'

In a world where there are many abnormalities, it is said that normal people are abnormal. It's just that pair.

Master, it's time to nurse the youngest Confucius.

The maid, who had been standing quietly behind the Countess, took out a watch from her pocket and checked the time.

Maybe it was the maid that Serpens had given her.

The Countess is holding her horse

The boy was placed in the arms of another maid, who appeared to be a nanny.

Surprisingly, Bibi quietly entrusted herself to the nanny's hands, unlike what she had been murmuring before. The nanny and the maid took the baby and went out of the drawing room.

It's dinner time soon, so I'd like to share more details about the guardianship after dinner...

Count Rivelon carefully took his luck while watching Serpence's eyes, lest he be compelled to ask for his guardianship.

Oh, it's already time... Baby is too much

She was so gentle and cute that I didn't realize the passing of time. It is better to do as the Count said.

Serpence said something that didn't make sense to her, and affirmed.

The dinner was so extravagant that it could not be compared with the table of Count Rivelon, which came to mind in Zion's memory.

Of course, it was only a relative comparison, and it was not enough to say that it was extremely luxurious.

I wrote that I care, but I don't know if you'll like it.

Thank you, just looking at it makes me happy

It looks sultry.

Serpens replied with a smirk.

I know. That those words are not word of mouth.

'Are there meatballs?'

Guess who doesn't like children's tastes.

Even thinking about it now, the fact that the first meal I ever gave him was 'Meatball Tomato Risotto' was an outstanding move that even Shin Luxmea went with a knock on his knees.

"Come to think of it, I was so busy that I forgot to thank you for the gift you sent me. I did send a letter, but

I should have said it face to face... .

I received a lot of help from Lord Zion, and it was a sign of my sincerity towards him. It makes me feel uncomfortable when I express my gratitude for that. Please do not do that.

While Serpence smiled softly, it seemed that she was slightly bitter because she was conscious of Zeon, and showed a sign of difficulty.

To those who do not know the truth, it would be considered as humility that is shown in excessive gratitude.

Also, in the eyes of Xeon... .

'I didn't know that at the time, but now that I know that I am not Zion, it must seem that I feel guilty to even say thank you.'

Seeing Shion's parents and eldest brother, Karon, who looked at me and smiled, my heart became heavy.

Why? The food doesn't taste good?

Perhaps she noticed such a sign of mine, Shion's mother spoke to me in a worried voice.

Ah, that's what...

It's been a long time since I've had a meal together with my family, so I guess it's because it's nice.

Xeon said in an indifferent voice, as if throwing it away.

Serpense's worried gaze touched me.

You], it's nice to have the whole family eat after returning home after a long time."

"He if he missed it so much, wouldn't he come down at least once?"

"Ahaha I will. I would."

Did Shion regret it that way?

If I had known that I would be separated from my family like this forever. During the two years of living in the capital, I hoped to go back to my hometown at least once...

'Is that what you thought?'

In comparison, what a happy person I was, who saw the faces of my family until the very day I came to this world... .

But, unfortunately, this thought only made the heart heavier.

Wow, these meatballs are delicious! Duke

Try it too!

Yes. I was eating even if I didn't.

Serpens had answered in a four-quarters voice, but somehow it felt like a bruise.

'Can't you help it? So shall we cry here?"

With that thought in mind, I looked into his eyes. Serpens pretended to continue eating and turned his head.

Serpense's gaze was withdrawn, but on the contrary, Zeon's gaze was fixed on me.

'What is it, anxiously... .'

When he stares at me, it scares me the most.

Fortunately, there was no further conversation going to me, and I was able to finish the meal safely.

Serpence followed Count Ribelon to his office, as was said before the meal.

Except for Zion's father, the Ribelon family gathered in the inner chamber. Vivi, the youngest member of the Rivelon family, also returned to her mother's arms.

Before eating, I almost bury my face in the countess' arms,

I didn't mean to show you. Now his eyes were wide open and he was staring intently at me.

Now it seems that you are interested in the second brother. Do you want to go to our baby, the second brother?

Agh...

As if in response to the Countess' words, Bibi made a choking sound and grabbed her by the front.

'Why are you so sure of your assertion already?'

It's like she's staring at me with her small forehead closed

It seems to be giggling

I wasn't the only one who thought so, so the Countess laughed out loud.

"Oh my, is our Vivi mad?"

Aww~!!

"Do you think I'm very angry because the second brother never came to visit while I was in the boat?"

He pretended to be talking to Vivi, but apparently he was scolding me.

Until before, I couldn't even scold myself in front of him because Serpence was there, so I guess I just watched it.

"Hey, it's a bit busy "

"Anyway, how can you not have a letter in a year?"

Uh?

"I didn't even tell you about the fact of getting a job."

Uh?!

"One day, all of a sudden, the pay envelope is less bruised Can't we just send a one-line letter together?"

Aww!!

...what is this.

For some reason, it felt like I was being nag twice, so I got tired of it.

Well, I was wrong...

"In the future, will you or will you not?"

I won't.

A letter?

When I do not answer, the Countess writes! and inhaled the air.

Mom, don't be so. I'm going.

I saw that he was very busy. Instead, I'm good at writing letters. The news of my brother... .

"Zeon, you should have come forward and write a letter. You don't have time to write a single line in a month?"

That, over there... I'm sorry.

This time, Xeon also bowed her head, as if she couldn't remember the words to put a shield on.

Looking at me and Zeon, who had to take a humble stance, Charon giggled and laughed as if he was suing.

"Really he's a bad older brother, right?"

Aww! Boob!

Look at this, our baboons say so too.

Aww-!

As a mother who has already raised three children, she is adept at switching between dealing with babies and not.

Come on, come on-.

Aww!

The Countess grabbed Vivi's hands and pretended to hit me... .

Come on, wait! Ah! This really hurts Ah, ah !

Oh?

Bibi kicked me as hard as she could and grabbed my hair and pulled me back.

Abbvv! Whoa!

Rain, Vivi. Won't you let go of this, huh?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

I tried to say it softly, but it seems to have had the opposite effect.

Ruby grabbed Shion's quivering green-brown hair and shook it violently as she cried as she left the world.

Now I live less than two months

How can you cry and rejoice like you're so sad... .

In my 50+ years of life, I've never seen anyone cry more sadly than this, except Serpens.

'What the hell?! You were meek when Serpence was there!'

The Countess panicked and tried to pull him off, but she didn't budge because of how strong she was in the subject of a baby.

Feeling strange, looking closely at Vivi, white divine power was weakly flowing from him.

And the light is getting stronger in real time.

Come on, wait a minute. Vivi, Vivi-sama! Levi Viscentio!

No, this is a foul, isn't it?!
