Duke, Please Repent! chapter 167
34. While the Duke was away (6)
I read through the letter I wrote once.
There was a group with a dangerous smell.
Okay, great!
At this level, we can say that we worship demons wherever we go.
I can't help but admire myself. Even Euges is moved by this,
Even Serpens sticks out his tongue.
He handed the letter to Xeon with a confident attitude, filled with a sense of pride.
Then I will make arrangements to deliver it to the denomination as soon as the sun rises tomorrow.
He swung while reading the contents, then simply folded it up and put it in the inside pocket of his shirt.
"Think about it. At this level, people should be wary of the name Tennis. However, the fact that the Luxmea Church has been declared a cult
How ridiculous would it be to change your euro name? All the believers who were there will fall away!"
Ah, yes...
It was a disrespectful answer, as if someone was asking who it was.
And the conversation was cut off.
"Hey, aren't you going out?"
I still have more to say.
Zeon, who had more to say, remained silent without saying anything.
The calm blue staring at me
Colored eyes are very annoying.
Why, why?
Why does your aide look at me like that? I must have been recognized by my older brother, who was the original owner of the body, doesn't it matter now?
"I will, has it become a habit ?"
Xeon never came forward and said anything to me, but I couldn't help but notice.
It's been almost half a year since I've been avoiding him like that.
Just because the situation has changed, it is difficult to fix it in an instant.
The person who can do that must be a brazen guy with several layers of iron on his face.
It is impossible for a person with a delicate mind like me.
You don't have to do that anymore.
"Well, it will get better over time. Was that what you were going to say?"
that .
I just said that the silence in front of me was too long to say not to notice.
I guess there's more to say.
Xeon hesitates, then relaxes
He took a long breath and opened his mouth again.
It's the same as losing a family, but it sounds a bit strange to say that the aide shifted the responsibility even though he knew he wasn't at fault. It doesn't matter where you are.
Yes?!
Another unexpected word came out.
To be honest, I was more surprised than the demon worshipers found out that I wasn't Zion.
Little As the older brother said, 'Zion Lee Bellon' is you now. You can't replace your real family, but it's like a relative. Here, it's okay to regard you as your family and your side.
"Uh, that's Even if the deputy butler and Vivi are like that, the other family members who don't know anything about it "
I think everyone will accept it that way if they find out about the situation.
It didn't sound like something impulsive. It's a conclusion I've been thinking about for a long time.
I feel very confused, and this
I want to know what
Since his family has a lot of value in him, he must have felt sorry for my situation.
Are you accepting me?
"Didn't you say that you would do it after finding your brother's whereabouts from the beginning?"
The words I wanted to ask when you said those words rose up to my throat.
However.
' I did.'
After listening to him, I looked back and
It seems like he really said that.
However, at the time, it must have been a problem that the only nuance heard was 'I will not treat you like a family from now on, and let's live like men and women except for public affairs'.
I can't tell if I'm crying because I'm out of breath, or if I'm really misinterpreting.
Ha-a.
I looked at Zeon from afar to find out what he meant, and he let out a long sigh.
Keep being open like you are now
Others approaching may be suspicious. Just like Wilydia said earlier. I know I'm embarrassed, but even in front of others as much as possible... .
No, no! It's just that I don't know how to react to this. It's my first time getting a family offer.
" I'm going to try it for the first time."
I guess so.
This is really, really disappointing.
Maybe I wasn't the only one who thought so, so Zeon patted the back of his hand with the palm of his hand, avoiding his gaze.
You just have to think that you have a younger brother and treat him comfortably.
Uh... I, 口
"Then I'm done talking, so I'll just go out and see. So hyung."
That's right... Goodbye, little brother.
I waved awkwardly, and Xeon smiled awkwardly and went back to my room through the secret passage.
You just have to say you're sorry for noticing, to go round and round...
In order to blow away the suffocating awkward air, Eugese is very considerate.
I opened the window that had been closed.
* * *
next day.
Xeon informed me that a person from the temple would secretly visit in the middle of the night.
The matter was dealt with very quickly.
I had time to explain to her in advance, fearing that Yu-Jis would break in just like I did to Xeon yesterday.
"After I came to the capital, I went through a lot of things, so my personality changed a lot from before "
I know, I understand.
It was very easy for the demon worshipers to excuse themselves for speaking as if they were convinced that I was someone else.
As soon as he lifted the fortune, Eugez's eyes lit up with a faint light.
'There was no change in personality, but it's true that you've been through a lot here, isn't it?'
He pushed his remorseful conscience to a corner of his chest, and proudly opened his shoulders.
I can't even imagine that Zion is timid and shy. '
Wow, how the hell do you look at me!
I'm just looking at Zion.
Euges smiled brightly and answered without hesitation at all.
Somehow it reminds me of Serpense's saying, 'Because you are so much.'
Oh my gosh, is it true that words to express myself do not exist in this world? A sigh comes out of nowhere.
By the way, I didn't know that there was such a conversation yesterday.
I'm sorry. There were a lot of personal stories coming out because I was going through various procedures for self-verification... It's not that Xeon doubted me, it's just that he likes certain things.
It's okay. At the same time, you must have reminisced about the memories together and strengthened the friendship between the brothers, but it just makes me uncomfortable when I'm involved.
It's really maintenance.
How did you know that we looked back on our past memories and strengthened brotherly friendship?
Oh, I guess you're coming now.
She interrupted the conversation and looked towards the bathroom.
Moments later, a knock was heard, and Xeon and a man in a hooded robe entered the room.
Nice to meet you. Is that the person who sent the letter, Sion-sama?
Yes, it's nice to meet you too. So...
My name is Luxmea-nim's faithful servant, Eilei T. Lanchea.
As I ended my speech, he introduced himself with a faint laugh.
In this world, the only person who introduces himself as a 'servant of the god Luxmea' is the 'This Dan Inquisitor'.
As expected, I was able to pass it on by simply saying that it was so.
Yes, nice to meet you. Eirich-sama. This is Shion Rivellon, the Prasidus family aide.
After the formal introduction, he reached out to me. It is an expression of intention to shake hands.
He grabbed her hand without thinking. Suddenly, a warm energy flowed through my hand and swirled around my body.
A familiar yet unfamiliar feeling.
'Did you scan now?'
When Serpens poured divine power into me, it felt as if he was gently embracing me, but it just felt like I was checking every corner of the house.
excuse me?
The letter said something was written on it, so I tried to check it without any excuses. I'm sorry.
So what's the result?
Clean.
Of course it should be.
Even Serpens could not find any abnormality.
Before that, it was put in by God and no one else. If you can recognize it with divine power, you must change the positions of the god and the believer from that day on.
"More than that, I think Eirich-sama is still ignoring an example?"
Yes?
"Now that you're indoors, do you still need to hide your face?"
"Oops, sorry!
I'm used to hiding it... .
He took off the dull gray robe he was wearing, revealing the pure white robe he was wearing.
It seems that it is not a lie to say that they are used to covering their faces. The priest's uniform also had a hood, and he was wearing it inside again.
When the hood attached to the priest's uniform was removed, his shiny blue-silver hair and clear green eyes were revealed.
' Serpense?'
correct it
Reminds me of serpens for about 0.3 seconds
But... . No, actually, I still remember Serpens.
However, considering his short hair, age, and degree of brilliance, he was a completely different person.
'If you lower Serpence's crazy beauty to the level of a human, and then make her age, what would it feel like?'
Even so, it does not change the fact that he is quite middle-aged.
In a word, it looked like a deterioration version of Serpens.
That person...
Yes? Oh, yes. My name is Eugenes. Oh,
This is Eugenes Wilydia.
Nice to meet you, Euges-sama.
you], yes! Nice to meet you too, yes.
Perhaps I wasn't the only one who was surprised, and Eugene was also gibberish.
In the midst of this, Xeon is the only one who is calm. It must have been that he knew it secretly by himself.
"I think everyone was very surprised."
Yeah, well, uh, um...
"Oh, I'm sorry. Such disrespect".
No. I should have explained it first, but I didn't expect you to be so surprised.
It was.
He smiled kindly. Her eyes were softly curved into a half moon, and natural wrinkles were formed on the corners of her eyes.
The confusion aggravated.
Who the hell is this guy?
Before joining the Church, my name was Eilerich T. Prasidus.
When you enter the church and become a priest, the first thing you do is cut off the relationship you had built up before.
Origin is no longer important, and the priest who gave up his old surname and gave his baptism
Priest Relations A similar ties is formed and follows his surname.
Of course, if you are excommunicated, your castle as a priest will be recovered and your original castle will be returned:
'It's not that important right now, isn't it!'
He captured the spirit that had run away and brought him back.
Anyway, it's not like it's the Serpence family.
This was information that did not come out of [Master of the Holy Sword], and it was a story that Serpens did not hear either.
How can you hide this sensitive information
are you going
With his mouth wide open and feeling some kind of betrayal, Eugese sent a glance that seemed to ask if you didn't know either.
Well, then the relationship with the Duke is .
The body that has already dedicated all its life to the god Luxmea, the relationship in the world doesn't matter.
I can't tell if the person in front of me is a heretic inquisitor of the Luxmea Church or a monk from our world.
I'm important!
With a frustrated heart, I ask him and listen to him
As I tried, I felt a tingling pain in my side.
Xeon guy, let's have a good time... . He must have said it for his own convenience.
Just like the day we first met, he grabbed my side and twisted it.
