Duke, Please Repent! chapter 163

34. While the Duke was away (2)

Next, the order to investigate the Argento family, which is investigating the Ferrarius family.

When Serpence said he had more reports to get, I thought it was just an excuse because he didn't want to take it.

Now that I look at it, it seems that he had ordered Eugese to do something.

"When did you do that again?"

Can't we just trust the person who helped the devil worshiper and the person who defended him even for a moment and let the work be done? Before we left, I left the sealed documents with the butler.''

Somehow he said he quietly retreated. Again, the fence of distrust did not go anywhere.

For that reason, Euges was not only able to run from mountain to mountain to investigate, as a competent sin, but as soon as he returned, he was given a new assignment and ran again.

Yeah?! I said why did you give me this kind of mission... You can just skip it.

are you?

It has been decided to close our eyes instead of giving out any information that would interfere with the work of the demon worshipers.

When it comes to information... Ah! I'll finish the report first.

If it were me, I would have asked questions as soon as I had questions and then fell into a side road].

The diligent Euges put his doubts aside and prioritized reporting.

"Actually, it was embarrassing to even report it, and it seemed that there was no suspicious action . The Duke of Argento stayed.

They infiltrated the villas and even the mansion under construction, and now I know that they were involved in the work of a demon cult.

"Did you ever think of infiltrating there?"

It wasn't too difficult as the cost was split in two.

I didn't mean to ask like that.

To the question I asked with terrification, Euges calmly answered.

Serpens hoped that Eugenes would get some good water, but he

I was pouring bad water on her.

Yuzu juice seems to be the only water that comes from the Eugenes side.

In that sense, I refilled the liquor full of yuzu flavor.

Anyway, after hearing the story, I thought about it . I thought it was just for filing a report to the imperial family because they kept the documents separately, but it seems they were trying to destroy the evidence related to them.

If that's the case, your Majesty has also accepted it, so there's nothing we can do about it.

Certainly, get out of hand with demon worshipers.

It's broken right?

I can't cut my hand, I'm in a state of loss.

What kind of wind suddenly blew and did you change your mind?

The wind was blowing.

A small wind that started from the flapping of the wings of a butterfly named Serpens became a violent gust of wind and tore between them.

I will call this the butterfly fence effect.

"And as you will soon find out, it seems that the Ferrarius Territory will be transferred to the Imperial Family and directly managed by the 2nd Prince. The Ferrarius Territory has abundant underground resources and the Duke of Argento has made Edo debt, so the Imperial Family I think I will gain more than I have lost through this incident."

It was publicly known that there were demon worshipers among the nobles of the Empire. I can't help but call it an international disgrace.

But they quickly found out their identities, there was nothing to avoid except the explosion of the Duke of Argento's house.

The job was completed without

It was safe to say that there was no civilian damage at all.

'I mean, this is something worth mentioning again... .One

Besides that, I got extra income, so it's worth calling it a phone call.

The imperial family did nothing and swept away the profits.

"Even so, it must be an additional reason."

"Then is there another main reason?"

It is related to the 'information' given by the person I mentioned earlier.

I think that was the end of the report.

Eugenes changed his posture and looked at him as if he was going to listen to what Serpens had to say from now on.

'At that time, the Duke of Argento said, 'Lord Palsum knows how to get there.'

The fact that the imperial family declared the Ferrarius Territory as a direct control of the imperial family was also consistent with the story that the 'method' that Sir Palsum knew was the gate installed there.

Information that demon cults are summoning demons from the dark side.

If that's the case, you already know.

Not only that, we've also provided information on 'How to Enter the Darkness'.

"It's already , ah!"

As Euges reacted that the steam was leaking, he realized something, and made a sound of surprise.

And the imperial family made a judgment that 'manage the dark district and monitor it.'

Wait a minute, if that's the case...!

Since this happened, it was obvious that the imperial family would come into contact with the 'ruler of the dark house' and try to convince him or remove him altogether and set up another person.

Instead of putting the exact solution in his mouth, Serpence put a sweet drink in his mouth.

You seem to have an idea.

"I am going to go out with the setting that the current ruler of the dark district is one of the members of the 'Illuminati'."

Then you'll need a fictional character!

Kungjjak was really good at making settings.

As the two of them drank alcohol, the talk was quivering, and around the same day that Eugene's bought alcohol was almost gone, ; a figure holding the pain of a tragic past and commanding a dark house for a cause suddenly popped out.

Yes.

Over time, Eugenes was reborn from being a prey who was deceived by others, to a predator who deceived others.

'I can't tell if this is an association or a scam!'

Because it was a scam, I remember Serpens cheating Vivi in Rivelon's estate.

He blamed all the crimes on an innocent child and cosplayed himself as the victim.

'Wow, it's because I'm in front of the kid, so I can't speak up... .'

It was really too.

Of course, I apologized enough before that, but was it even necessary to receive an apology from Zion?

Sherty...

Well?

Go ahead, get down on your knees, raise your hands, and stand.

what?

Raise your hands! Get down on your knees! Stand up.

Serpens' face hardened. He thought deeply about something with a serious face.

Due to the structure of the human body, it is impossible to stand on one's knees. Please choose one of the two.''

Is that the only conclusion you have come to after serious consideration?

It seems that he was drunk after drinking continuously while sipping from a while ago. It must have been that he was drunk because his face was slightly heated.

I'm a person who doesn't usually make such promises, and if he's not drunk, you can mix cinnamon candies into Serpence's candy bottle.

Are you going to talk to me now? Well, you did a good job!''

Ummm... didn't you do well?

Is this the best? Are you sure?

I don't know what you're talking about, but I'm sure you're sure.''

Uh-huh!

is not it?

He muffled his voice as he said he was not confident, and tilted his head with a depressed face.

Even if you make a face like that of an innocent kitten that no one knows about, you can't get over Onul!

When did I .

Uh-huh!

If you pass on your guilt to others, your heart

It would be nice and comfortable. Then what if you get used to it and taste it?

It's just going to be an unparalleled pair in the world.

'I was worried because I was suffering from excessive guilt, what kind of mess is this?'

Anyway, he's a guy with no middle ground.

"So, are you going to apologize or not?"

Okay. I'm sorry. Don't apologize.

Right, right! Good Ser, Good Pence.

He gently scratched his chin under his chin as a compliment, and he shook his head to shake it off.

It's like an angelic meow.

"Did Serpens-sama do something wrong to Shion?"

"No, what are you talking about?! Uh-huh, is there anything wrong with the kid?"

While we were playing with the meow fence, all of a sudden, Eugese made an unfamiliar sound.

'Did Serpens do something wrong to Zion? Who did it wrong first!'

When I first came to this world, how kind Serpence was.

Even if it was an external appearance, he was kind enough to make me think, 'Isn't this a bit too much?'

Even if he was inexperienced in his work, he didn't say a word, and he kept his work hours like a sword.

I thought it was a cut on that sharp day.

You wouldn't have treated Shion the same way!'

Where is that?

Give him a job at a decent job called a duke, who has been living alone for over two years without a job, and pay him a high salary.

If you look at it, even the boss who looks healing enough to blow away the work stress.

I don't envy Jarin Gobi, who eats a bowl of rice after seeing gulbi.

'is not it? Is it normal to not be envious of such a jarin gobi?'

In any case, there is no end to the list of how good Serpence must have been for Shion.

Still, where did you roll to eat?

To have been tricked by a dog-bone-like guy I didn't know and aimed at Serpens' round and pretty head.

'Wow, the more I think about it, the more angry I get!'

Even if they say that if you go away from your eyes, your heart goes away, you can't see your face in front of you.

While Serpens was away, could he be swayed by what the demon worshipers were saying and stare at the child so harshly?

This is an area that I will never understand.

'How timid and innocent my child is.

He's so naive, how frightened he must have been!'

Even so, it was too much to say that he killed him.

The suspense wasn't good. I should have listened... .

'Isn't it? Where did Shion make such a decision after listening to Serpence?'

It was the same with Zion who misunderstood without even having a proper conversation.

It was very

'But it must have been difficult for Zion even because of the memory of being killed .'

Looking at Serpence, I remembered his fearful figure.

Still, considering the way he acknowledged his mistake and apologized, he was such a nice guy, he couldn't blame him for anything.

He told me things that comforted me, and he also told Xeon about defending me.

'Yeah, cheating is bad, what's wrong with cheating?'

Like bad demon worshipers.

I feel so very sorry for the Serpens who are constantly being targeted by them.

What the heck Serpens didn't do to them!

For some reason, the Holy Sword was also passed to Humanus, but I don't know why he keeps messing around with the Serpences.

Gayeopson Scherfensch....

- Ball muggle?"

I was very drunk. Today, I go back to my room, inhale, um...

When I stabbed the meatball with a fork and put it in his mouth, he chewed it well and swallowed it.

What, are you two drunk?

yo. This?

Saying that, Eugeus was so drunk that his red-red ears were constantly popping.

Are there two drunken customers I have to deal with today?

The good news is that both of them are quietly drunk, so you have to be very careful about it, so it's not at the level of a heel.

Okay then, let's go one more!

This is not the level of drunkenness, it's crazy , sleep, hap!

Hey, my son is eating well!

"Don't do this , um, uh "

As I shoved each of them into Serpense's mouth, all of a sudden, the meatballs were gone.

Even if I dig into the bowl with a fork, there was no new meatball.

Why?

Ahahahaha-!

It seems that Eugene's drinking habit is smiling.

What's so funny, she hugged her tummy and laughed out loud

all. It's a spectacle to see them move all the way to the legs.

Wow, Jiying-ja~. I'm not the only one who didn't get it! Uh-huh~, it's always up to me to clean up!

When I got up, the world suddenly shook and the floor swelled up.

'Attack of demon worshipers?! When everyone is drunk like this... .'

The world was dyed in darkness for the last time with that memory, and the thought circuit stopped.

* *

When I open my eyes, I see a familiar ceiling.

I realized I was lying in my room right now.

And I had to admit it.

I was drunk.

It's not just a little bit cheesy, it's very sassy.

I used to drink alcohol yesterday, so why do I have to bear the embarrassment today?

I don't know how to look at Serpens.

'Still, I couldn't speak... Ji?'

Let's look back.

Did you mention Serpence's baptismal name? No.

Did I mention that I'm from another world? No.

Did you disclose the contents of [Master of the Holy Sword]? No.

Did she give any hints that Bibi was Zion? No.

I grabbed my pounding head and checked the important things, but everything was 'No'.

Okay, nothing was a problem!

"What happened and what?"

I turned my head toward the window at the voice I heard without warning.

Sure enough, it was Serpens. With his arms crossed, he was staring at me with piercing eyes that seemed to speak of a spectacle.

"How are you doing in the morning?"

Sunwoo, I've been here to see if you're suffering from a hangover. I can't see any signs of remorse.

Seeing that he came to visit us without hesitation, even if we let him suffer from a hangover or whatever, he is definitely a soft guy.

By the way, Serpence was a little drunk yesterday, didn't he?

Not at all.

"Then why did you take it all?"

"Hey, if you turn your head, you'll get the sauce on your face or clothes.

I'm drunk, I'm drunk

Other than his blushing, he didn't show anything, I think he had a good taste.

Even though I was drunk, my 'analysis of serpent status' was accurate.

Why? You can eat as many meatballs as you want, so it won't be a waste. Were you sorry for the meatballs lying on the cold floor?

Ugh-.

Really?

"Won, when you're drunk, everything that doesn't really matter looks pitiful, and I agree.

Not that much.

Isn't it? I didn't have an eye for meatballs, but yes. It can be pitiful. I think he was more serious about meatballs than I thought.

But no matter how drunk you are, meatballs are pity for those who cannot properly sympathize with themselves as well as others.

is a bit .

Could it be that there are several problems?

What did meatballs mean to him?
