Duke, Please Repent! chapter 155

33. The Duke and Zion Rivelon (1)

Perhaps it was thanks to the advance notice that Serpence would come from last month, the scenery in the guest room was very different from that in Zion's memory.

'Have you ever spent money?'

That being said, it cannot be compared to other nobles in the capital, but considering the circumstances of the Rivelon estate, it is needless to say that it was a considerable expenditure.

Serpens, who did not know such a thing,

I tore the soundproofing scroll as usual today.

Now, the sound of the thick, tearing scroll could only be heard as the torn sound of Solertia's heavy pockets.

What do you mean to tell me? What is the situation earlier... And the headache still doesn't go away? No, is it a headache? I've noticed something wrong since dinner... I shouldn't have brought you here...

Serpence took off the mask of external fence and asked me with an anxious face

shot them

His green eyes flickered unsteadily over the glasses.

I'm coming to his hometown to see Shion's brother, and if I fall out, Serpens must fall, so why am I missing out?

Even if I thought about it, whether what I was saying was right or not, Serpens couldn't resist and made a squeaky sound.

Anyway, I'm going to be straight-forward.

When he calmed down and opened his mouth, he nodded with a heavy expression on his face.

"It seems that he has been reincarnated."

" Is the language system in this place very different from the world where Seonwoo originally lived? So, do you feel any difficulty in composing a proper sentence?"

I think I said too bluntly.

Serpens asked the question with a very serious attitude. He was genuinely concerned, not joking or joking.

Ahh! Come to think of it, there was no concept of reincarnation in this world, right?

That's not the only problem with Serpens.

I made a face like Nira, but I decided to pretend I didn't see it.

He was the one who said first to stay as me.

I've said the word 'reincarnation' before. I remember talking about it in a fictional way back then...

He also went into the main topic without further arguing as to whether he had any intention of arguing with one mouthful.

It's just a subject often used in novels, that's what I was talking about.

Instead of delaying the time by uttering the words, 'You used to talk about useless things,' Serpence lightly chinked as if to tell him to talk.

It's a word related to one of the religions that exist in our world. Yoon-hwan's former life and anything else, I think I'll have to dig too deep to explain it, so I'll pass it on and explain it briefly.

Do what you feel comfortable with.

"It refers to being reborn in a different body after death."

"Is it something like a generational change of the 'Apostle'?"

I was worried that it was too simple, but soon he brought out a concept that was most similar to it in this world.

"No, it's similar, but it's completely different. If you think of it as the opposite concept, would you like it closer?"

They were a continuous being, but at the same time separate beings.

Memories, names, and appearances follow those of their predecessors, but their selves are so different that their hobbies, personalities, and tone of voice are often different.

The illusion of erasing all memories of the same existence and being reborn as a different being from the essence

It's different with life.

Ah! But mainly reincarnations in subcultures are reborn with complete memories...

Ummm..., yes. Everything] I think I know perfectly well. That reincarnation and how Seon-woo brought the word back into his mouth.

really?

"Isn't Seon-woo saying that the youngest member of the Rivelon family is the result of the reincarnation of Zion Rivelon with its self and memory intact?"

"It's a bit wordy, but I got it right.

I did!"

He frowned as if dissatisfied with my clear answer.

"Why are you so sure?"

In the honor of the Department of Child Welfare, I assure you, the behaviors Bibi showed today were not consistently the reactions of an ordinary baby.

...child?

You], child! It's my major!

Serpens was speechless.

Somehow, with an unfamiliar expression,

After staring at him, he closed his eyes for a moment and nodded.

You must have compromised with something inside.

Is it because of the thing that grabbed your hair earlier?

That's also one of the reasons. If he were Zion, I would pretend to be himself and deceive and play tricks on his family. He may have thought that I had taken over my body through black magic, so I might have used divine power to drive him out.

...Ummm.

"After driving out my soul like that, I thought that I could return to my original body "

Is that so...?

"Maybe it was simply because I was confused, because I felt quite impulsive."

If he had been looking for a chance from the start, he should have jumped right in when his mother tried to hug him to me.

'Isn't it a golden opportunity that Serpens was not present?'

Shrug your shoulders and say, Serpens

gave a slightly disappointed expression. You seem to be asking if that's all.

Why, do you often pinch your cheeks to check if it's a dream or real life? It feels similar to that?

Not when I was possessed, but if it was Shion who was killed by Serpens in the original.

Comparing how far the conversations he had with his mother must have been with his memory, this was also a possibility.

He discovered the gap between the reality he wanted to deny and the reality he knew.

Well, it may have felt like the only way out.

I can't say it's nonsense or nonsense.

'It's been a dream since I attacked the Prasidus family aide... .'

I was destined to draw such a wind.

It must have been desperate and desperate. However, that hope would also have come true in an instant.

Whether it was because they saw me as a demon worshiper, or because they denied reality. Whether they were complex and tangled.

If he is Zion, that kind of behavior

You can bring any number of reasons to show it. I must have been anxious, confused, and afraid.

I did just that.

Then, from your shoulder in front of me...

That's the biggest problem, that's it!

Under such meticulous calculations, Zion in his memory was not of the personality to judge the strong and the weak.

It was just weak.

A person who was originally docile has no answer when he gets angry, and a cornered mouse bites a cat.

But for Serpens... .

'Through death, fear engraved in instinct I can't explain anything other than that.'

At the time when I was possessed, to Sion, a serpent was a high-ranking noble who would soon become a boss. The one who will become the master of the holy sword. An infinitely kind and merciful Duke.

It had to be no more and no less.

'But Shion was reluctant to use Serpence and was afraid.'

It wasn't like he was nervous about making a mistake due to his prestige of being the Duke of the Empire.

His touch and even eye contact with him. Weren't you embarrassed and avoided it?

Couldn't even show the hostility and held my breath.

When I first became possessed by Zion's body, I didn't avoid Serpence that much.

Contrary to the vague fear I felt, something much more distinct was felt in him.

...isn't there really no chance of an illusion?

"Why are you like this today?

If there is any talent, leave it open and examine it more calmly than anyone else... .

Serpens kept her mouth shut and avoided her gaze.

Now that I see it, it wasn't that he didn't believe what I was saying.

Does Serpens want him not to be Zion?

I wonder if Shion knows her true nature. It will not be a denial of reality.

If you're worried about that, you'll try to solve the problem somehow.

The guy was moving quite emotionally now.

I want to ask the opposite. Why does Seonwoo want to believe it?

I just made a cold judgment based on what I saw. Moreover, there is nothing strange about having a reincarnation while the possessor is so well-behaved, isn't it?

So, you're asking why you can judge so soberly. If that existence is 'Zion Rivelon, what does it mean. You don't know...'

Well then.

If he is Zion, it means that he will not return Zion's body to him.

It could also be interpreted as meaning that he would not send me back soon.

Why can Seonwoo be so calm? You always miss the place and want to see the precious people who will be there.

He's really... .

With a face that says you will be lonely if you leave. If you're going to make a face asking you not to throw it away, don't even say a word.

Still, it is ironic that I do not show any joy in the possibility that I will not be able to return.

There's no certainty that this will happen. It may just be that Zion's soul cannot be kept on standby forever, so it may have been sent down. How do you think it is because Luxmea can't communicate? You can see that they care. Who knows? In fact, the world I used to live in has stopped time, and is it a system that returns to its original body when Zion finishes her life?"

" I don't know you."

Despite my hopeful words, Serpence still had a melancholy look on her face.

Usually, the main subject of good posture is "

You're talking nonsense again.

Were you keeping your mouth shut?"

Didn't you say it with an expression on your face? As usual, you must have been mumbled inside your mouth.

It's not a mumble, it's a gossip.

In the words, I can clearly see how disrespectful he usually thinks of me.

looked ahead

Haha... Seonwoo. Even if you have come up with such hopeful thoughts, on the other hand, aren't you still anxious. That's probably the answer you desperately found to deny that anxiety. Am I wrong?

He let out a long breath with no energy, and stabbed him in the face with a bitter voice.

We'll talk about that later. There's something more important than that.

"This is also important. At least for you, it should be more so.

Ji.

"That's right, but first, we have to solve the problems we encountered "

please !

At that one word so desperately, the door was shut.

Please, even at this time, if you can honestly tell me your anxiety, if you lean on me... Can't you just cry? So that I can comfort you .

Uh, that's...

"Every time something like this happens, my incompetence rushes in so badly.

Do you know how powerless I feel when I can't do anything? So please... .

The only thing I did for him was mental comfort.

It is not that he directly ripped out his past. Nothing has changed substantially. The scars of the past are still there.

But that alone gave him great comfort.

Since he doesn't have the strength to bring me back, so that I can take even a little comfort from myself.

Hoping to find even a little bit of stability. That he wants to pay it back."

I don't know why it's me. But this time, it's really important. I'm not going to bury it at all, I just want to put it off for a while.

"I know. I think I will soon understand what Seonwoo is trying to say . So, for now, focus on your own problems."

Even though I know...!

There was no further discussion of how this could be done.

Serpence is very small, 'Shh... .' He made a sound and raised his index finger.

It wasn't that he covered his mouth or threatened him, but he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut due to some unknown pressure.

Isn't it enough to just talk to me today? I didn't want to bury it, I just wanted to put it off for a while.

So now:

A quiet, quiet tone of voice penetrated my heart deeper than a sharp cry.

A hoarse voice sounded like it was piercing the heart.

"Then, wait I'll lean on you for a minute."

"How many times have I not told you to do that?"

This means that you do not need to ask for permission.
