Duke, Please Repent! chapter 159
33. The Duke and Zion Rivelon (5)
In [Master of the Holy Sword], he met many eyes.
Most of them were gazes like resentment, fear, hatred, and burning. He laughed as if he was enjoying it beyond the extent of not paying attention to those gazes.
But.
In the last moment of his recollection, he was afraid of the gaze of others.
As a result of struggling to get out of it... .
'Do you think that fear turns into madness, and in the end, even that becomes dull?'
Therefore, the Serpence before the Day of Election would at least not have killed the innocent.
I know it now.
A sense of self-doubt in the eyes filled with hatred and disgust.
A sense of guilt in the gaze of fear and resentment.
In the meantime, Serpens endured them.
They were able to take their lives because they were wicked people, and therefore could use the pretext of a 'necessary evil'.
Therefore, I believe that there must have been a good reason that he killed Zion.
'But if you ask if Zion is a person capable of committing a bad thing .'
The biggest problem is that it isn't.
The most likely cause is the incident on Semita Street.
It's really disgustingly mentioned,
If what I experienced here could be made into a novel like [Master of the Holy Sword]... .
'Are the readers going to shout 'again'?'
But it was good to be half sure.
At that time, if Zion had believed in Serpence to the end without being deceived by the devil worshipers, Serpence would have trusted him even a little bit.
Serpense was like that when I first met him.
Constantly doubting and pushing. Acting as if living alone, but
It was so heavy I was looking for a place to lean on.
'Anyway, it's not what I'm doing right now, so it's something I don't even remember'.'
The self-hatred that had permeated to his bones stimulated Serpence's sense of remorse and instigated suffering.
From his point of view, the person he killed appears sadly and shouts, 'You killed me!'
'It's a horror movie, what is it?'
Just imagining it gives me goosebumps. enough
I was terribly afraid.
Even so.
'You don't need to be scared of a 2-month-old baby who is babbling at your helplessness!?'
These words came up to the bottom of my throat, but I couldn't get it out of my mouth, so I pressed it in.
I have a conscience too.
It had been less than 24 hours since the baby grabbed the hair and shook it. I have no right to say anything to Serpense like that.
'If you look at me like that
It's a bit complicated... .'
Even though I grabbed the collar once, it was my child who I cherished without lifting it every once.
I feel a little bit upset because it feels like I've seen a child raised so finely at kindergarten beaten up by another family member.
It's stronger, but even more so in that it's been kind to me.
'You're so kind and gentle, what would you have done without me? How did you live in this harsh world alone? .'
how to live
They overturned and slaughtered everything, and lived as a harsher suspense than a harsh world.
Ah hye Deweyyag!
Shion, who was reborn as a baboon, once again shouted an incomprehensible voice.
If you don't think deeply about what you're saying, you're just a cute baby.
However, it seems that the cuteness is not contained in Serpense's eyes. He still has a pale face.
The way I looked in the mirror when I was young was so cute,
Have you ever developed immunity to a lower level of cuteness?
I don't know what happened... but I'm sorry for everything.
Sion burst into tears as if she was overcome with sorrow at Serpens's words.
As I watched the two of them go back and forth between cruelty and cuteness, I started to get confused.
"Hey, both of you, calm down and talk again slowly", sweetheart, talk ."
talk is bullshit.
I can't do that, so I'm doing this now
That's right, I'm really excited!
When I asked Zion about the situation at the time, it was not my intention to see such a taunting feast.
It was to clear up misunderstandings about Serpence and to let Zion know that he was not a bad person.
Even though I was the first to speak of the incident .
'Didn't you also get fake documents about Serpence? I was on my way to reveal that, and I was snatched away by Serpence. Right? In fact, the people who gave the papers were demon worshipers!'
I also want this to be a little off.
When I say this, doesn't Serpence seem like the kind of guy who doesn't even have an excuse?
Even though he knew that Zion had been deceived by the demon worshipers, he felt as if he was just plain without hesitation.
Of course it's true.
Hey, how can't you do that with divine power? I'm going to stretch out the muscles around the tongue and mouth, yes?
It is possible to compensate to some extent, but
I don't think it's going to make much of a difference because of the structural issues.
Anyway, isn't that going to happen?
However, Serpence hesitated and gave a negative opinion unlike the positive introduction.
Somehow, even though I had already thought of that possibility, I doubted that he hadn't said anything.
'If you listen to it, you will be resentful and blamed, is this something you don't want to hear?'
Yes, nothing can be solved. It is simply procrastinating.
Negotiate or persuade only through dialogue
to do or not to do
The main problem is that, given the divine power control we saw yesterday, I don't think I'll be able to do it alone.
To my questionable gaze, Serpens quickly added whether it was an excuse or an explanation.
"Will Serpens help me?"
I don't know what he's talking about, but I can clearly feel that he is very hostile and reluctant to me.
Zion will push away his divine power
It means that it won't be easy.
Having said that, Serpens had a sad expression on his wounded face and trembled sadly.
'Things like that should be done while looking at Zion, not me!'
If you reject a serpent even after seeing such a figure, you don't have the right to be called a human anymore.
I quickly looked into Shion's eyes.
He had his eyes closed.
'Since when?'
The fact that he, too, was once an aide to Serpens touched me anew.
There must have been a way to avoid it by closing your eyes.
Would you say this is the wisdom of a sage? It's not? In terms of career alone, would I be longer?
Uh, ooh
Zion started to glow again.
It didn't just glow, it started blinking.
I, I'm fine... Nuoong. Si, Siong...
Hot! Ma, I said! Serpens, listen! Shion spoke!
Is it because of my fuss?
A feeling of not knowing what to say crossed Serpense's face, who looked depressed.
Shion, who was emitting light, turned off the lights, and looked at me with absurd eyes.
"Ah, no, that's , because I'm kind of moved ?"
Mah...''
Today, I learned for the first time that a baby can make an expression that asks if he's got it all.
However, contrary to Shion's strangely distorted face, Serpens' expression improved even more. As he regained his composure, he said, 'Who... .' and let out a sigh, not knowing whether it was a sigh or a laugh.
You did well though.
Whoa?!
Probably, if I left it as it was, the divine power could run wild like yesterday.
...Oh?
Sion's eyes fluttered at the words of Serpens, who seemed to be relieved.
I guess I didn't even know it was a storm yesterday.
It was said that ignorance is bravery, so I must have forcibly raised the divine power without fear.
If you are a child who has not yet established intelligence, it would have helped control it in that state and induce learning by instinct, but since you have intelligence, it will be much more helpful to learn it calmly.
At the sound of Serpens's infinitely good-natured voice and the expression on his face that looked down at him worriedly, Shion had a confused face.
Ah, ah, Aisha Ashoa!
Zion's voice, the light of which had faded, returned to its original state.
Talking right now is a problem, but for the sake of future safety, can you please allow me to help Confucius?
Eww
I don't know what happened or why you hate me so much,
If you hate me so much, I think there must have been a good reason for that.
The smoke fence, who had completely found her own pace, mourned her green eyes and spoke with a sad voice as if pleading.
Now, the blue eyes of Zion shook even more.
'Oh yeah. I feel like I've just become trash, and I feel like I'm all the bad guy. It feels like everything is my fault for being narrow-minded and petty, and it must be. It's like I was slapped in the face from somewhere else and was just venting my anger on an innocent kid. well, that
How are you feeling?'
Once you get caught up in that technique, it's not easy to get out of it.
I don't know why you look at me with such fearful eyes... I don't want to hurt anyone.
"Ah, child uh."
I respect Confucius' opinion, but the rest of the Rivelon family are also concerned. Can't we just ignore that?
Even thinking about the family that will be left behind, you have to go into surgery right away, patient.
It sounds like you are saying that.
I'm not...
I'm sorry, but I know that even if I apologize like this now, unless you know the exact reason, you will only accept it as a word of mouth. Will you please give me a chance to apologize sincerely?
Serpence apologized by making up a sincere tone that had already overflowed.
The time that Shion spent as Serpence's aide no longer exists.
Even though it would be unfair to be resentful for something that doesn't exist, Serpens, who says it's his fault, shows a deep understanding, can be called a saint.
'Hey, this is over. I have no choice but to get over it.'
At this point, wouldn't even the memories of being killed by Serpens feel like a terrible nightmare created by the evil demon worshipers?
Ooh, ooh... .
Shion's momentum, which was staring at Serpence, was shattered.
Seeing this, Serpens smiled a little. made up a token of thanks.
I think you've got a sense of what kind of power the divine power is now.
Serpens slightly brought his index and middle fingers to Shion's small forehead and opened his mouth. The silver power that rose from the tip of his finger permeated into Zion.
Follow me slowly
Please come. You don't need that much power. If you are not used to it yet, it is recommended to start with a very small amount and gradually increase it. As the total amount of power is large, more delicate operation is required."
Oh, uh !
As if drawn by Serpens's soft voice, a white light rose from Shion like a haze.
'It's not booboom!'
There was light leaking out, so I couldn't say it was in perfect control.
But it doesn't feel scruffy
It could be seen that the soft flow was definitely captured compared to before.
About 10 minutes passed like that?
Now it is.
"Is that over?"
It's not like you're learning a big skill. If you're in control of your own body, simple tricks are enough.
When I asked if it was already over, Serpence answered kindly with her hand away.
Ah, uh.. ah... dae, dai dai, what should it be?
Shion rolled her tongue as if awkwardly and spoke slowly.
It wasn't the right pronunciation, but it was comparatively acceptable.
That's what we want to ask. You've already revealed about me? Now that I've been able to speak to a certain extent, please tell me Zion. Why did you take such a hostile to Serpens?
At my words, Zion slowly opened his mouth with a complicated face.
