Duke, Please Repent! chapter 179

36. The Duke's Family Reunion (4)

And in resolving this matter, even though the Duke is absent, without asking for permission in advance...

If that's the case, I've told my aide.

The Heretic Inquisitor had only opened his introduction, but what was to come was quite obvious.

Serpens didn't listen to the end and just cut it off.

Had it not been for my promise, he would have listened to the Heretic Inquisitor to the end.

He opened his mouth with the words 'But' and said, 'You must have played a responsible housekeeper who cares for his people.

'Are you trying to drive people like me and Zeon to face a demon worshiper in front of them as compelled to sacrifice rather than cooperate?'

Even if the heretic interrogator has prepared a countermeasure in case of an emergency, 'Still, it is dangerous to be dangerous.'

Do you think you can be?'

But now, I wouldn't do that with me, after the Marshmallow Agreement was signed.

I wouldn't be able to argue with it anyway, I don't think it was a waste of time to listen to this interrogator until the end... .

Sir Zion said that he was the first to help, so he hoped that this would not cause any problems.

...I don't think so.

I told you not to grab a pod for nothing.

But I didn't say it like that.

Judging from the sudden sound of beating the pongchang with a jajinmori jangdan while sleeping, it is certain that the sagi fence is doing drugs.

Stopping the conversation is also part of the process.

The heretic inquisitor's gaze turned to me to see if it was already working. Our eyes met in the ice.

After smiling awkwardly in embarrassment, he drank the car and avoided his gaze.

"For me, I feel uncomfortable because it seems like someone who is powerless is constantly being exposed to danger but what should I do if it has already happened? I will respect his opinion."

Serpens smiled bitterly as she looked at me with warm eyes filled with worries and wonders.

There was a nuance that implicitly, my sacrifice was not for today or tomorrow.

'If someone you don't know hears it, they'll think that I'm a person who wraps up a fictional day and makes sacrifices for a cause!'

The bigger problem was that the technique of fraud fence was a wide-area machine that did not distinguish between enemies.

Eugene, who still has a big fantasies for me, slowly nodded his head to express his deep sympathy .

Xeon, who had a major misunderstanding due to the last novel by Eugene, looked at me like a fire fox.

'Even so, that Serpense guy knows everything and is writing the script!'

Even if the world is sad, it will be so sad

Day!

I'm going crazy running and running and I'm about to go back and forth.

That's not true.

My image became burdensome, but I was just trying to think that it was resolved anyway.

The Heretic Inquisitor was rude and denied it.

If I stayed still, I would be able to move on quietly, but it's really hard to be honest.

I know.

Yes? Then why...

"I heard reports from two other people besides Sir Zion, so it is natural to know.

Seeing the bewildered heretic inquisitor, Serpens smiled softly.

The Heretic Inquisitor turned to look at me and Serpence, then with a small smile, meekly expressed his gratitude.

If you do not know the truth, there is no other story.

Actually, the reason I came here today was to express my gratitude to the three of you and to give the Duke's understanding at least, but that's not all.

As if to say that this is the main point, the Heretic Inquisitor erased his smile and spoke with a serious face.

In terms of atmosphere, is it something that was omitted after 'to pay a bounty' that we were talking about last time?

"I thought that a proper conversation would be possible only after the outline was more clearly defined, so I just skipped over it at the scene.

just . There are definitely issues that need to be addressed."

"What are you talking about ?"

For no reason, the heretical inquisitor's gaze turned to me.

For some reason, I felt a will to stop him from speaking strangely.

''It's about the name Tenebrio. Where did you hear that it was a god created by the Demon King himself?

Yeah, of course the devil...

"I knew you would say that.

Has confirmed. After interrogating a demon worshiper, he said he didn't say anything like that.

You're savagely doing data research.

I didn't see him as such a person, but I'm disappointed.

"Do you believe what I am saying now, not what I am saying?"

I would like to believe more of Zion's words. However, no matter how many times I questioned, the answer that came back did not change. In addition, when I showed him the letter that Zion had sent, I was possessed of a disappointing laugh, but it was as it is.

abandoned.

To say that a heretic inquisitor interrogates a demon worshiper is no different than torturing him.

While he was confused as to whether the story he had heard from the Demon King was true or false.

Even if I tell the truth that I know for sure, what comes back is torture, and I've even seen letters made up of lies.

Yeah, it drives me crazy... .'

Somewhere in the middle of my heart, it was quiet.

But I'm a messenger of Luxmea, so in fact, all of this is nothing more than Luxmea's decorations, isn't it?

In the avatar battle between Luxmea and Tenebrio, Tenebrio chose the wrong avatar and was defeated.

'It's so bad that I just asked the Demon King's well-being... .'

If it were me, no matter how many times I cursed Luxmea, I wasn't even opening an eye, I could even give him a straight face.

Like a guy who's only half of it

A foreign country like New Luxmea. No, I guess I couldn't afford to use mercenaries.

Zeon-sama. Was what was written in that letter really true?

That, that...

Tell me honestly.

There was an exaggeration, but it's roughly about the same . As a result, it was also true that the other party was a demon worshiper .

Suddenly, Zeon stuttered in response to the heretical inquisitor's sharp gaze towards him.

A little bit of lies and exaggeration were mixed.

Thanks to that, I have successfully captured them, so I have no intention of questioning them about it. Just looking at the contents of the letter, the idea is somewhat suspicious... . Wouldn't it be different if it was a story you heard somewhere? I'm just curious as to where the information came from.

Why does it sound like I will be accused of heresy and put in jail if I don't tell the truth?

Avoid unsubstantiated remarks.

That's right! I'm truly following how unsophisticated Zion is, so beware of such abusive remarks.

yo. This!

It seems I'm not the only one who heard that.

Serpens hardened his face and glared at the Heretic Inquisitor, and Euges provoked my conscience with a pearly fury.

I'm sorry. This way of speaking has become a habit... I had no intention of questioning Zion-sama's faith.

I'm glad. I was thinking about what humiliating swearing could be more than a demon king or a dog, but I don't think it's something that can be said in front of the Duke or Eugese.

I apologize again. I'm really sorry.

It's an occupational disease, what can I do? Oh, there was plenty of room for harm.

He seemed to have gone too far and joked lightly, but the Heretic Inquisitor bowed his head deeply and apologized to me as if he was more ignorant.

"Anyway, that information . Yes, information . What I learned about it There is a very arduous journey and a heartbreaking story1, so that's what ?"

"Shion, it's okay! I , I'm him

I'll do it! It must be hard for you to remember, but you don't have to say any more!

What do I have to say to get the rumor that I've been fooled? Should I bring up the rumors of the Luxmea lion as well?

As I was dragging the time for gibberish with such worries, Eugene suddenly dangled tears in his eyes and grabbed my hands tightly.

"Actually, Zion has been kidnapped, sucked, and by demon worshipers. He has overcome it now, but I have also seen him suffer from claustrophobia because of it."

The Heretic Inquisitor looked at me with his eyes wide open.

I wondered if that statement was true, but I couldn't answer yes, so I quietly turned my head.

Serpens covered his mouth with his hand and rolled his eyes, and Zeon Let's pretend we don't check.

"That that would have been kidnapped.

at the time .

You], you must have written the letter based on the story you heard back then. Yes?

No, that's right. Yeah...

Confronting Luxmea's cursing was not difficult, but coping with Eugene's novel was very difficult.

I shuddered at the cramping and bowed my upper body.

It's hard to answer, so please don't tell me anymore.

Sion managed to escape through the sacrifices of those who were captured, but..., Heuk:

It happened...! Why didn't you report it to the denomination?

Because it never happened.

It must have been because they couldn't control themselves properly as a result of the aftermath. They probably couldn't report because there was no evidence that their hiding place would be discovered later, because they left there.

Oh .

For some reason, the heretical inquisitor's lament was 'Ah... ! I was so distracted by the shock of such a big deal!' I heard.

It's disrespectful to my parents who raised me well without making me suffer once, so please stop.

Are you okay?

As if Serpence was worried, he gently stroked my back with the palm of his hand and asked kindly.

But inside, you must be laughing out loud as you watch the process of creating black history in real time.

It was really shameful.

I understand the situation. The denomination is always open, so please contact us right away like this time.

The Heretic Inquisitor said in a pitiful voice.

Yours. We will do that.

"It may be hard to remember, but is there anything else that comes to mind?"

"That, that so "

- Tock, tock.

Serpens, who had been pretending to calm me down by gently stroking my back, tapped me with her finger this time.

Ah! That's right! They talked about breaking the barriers of the Volta Mountains...

"Why are you saying that now?!"

The Heretic Inquisitor was startled and jumped to his feet.

Ze, there's no evidence...?

It doesn't matter!

But would you have believed me? With no evidence? Besides, I wasn't even the duke's aide back then...

Anyway, this is a very serious matter!

Suddenly, why am I being scolded?

I wondered if

I gently straightened my back and looked at Serpens.

'I've set up my luck as you tell me to, so calm down quickly and talk.

Serpens tapped me on the back a couple of times to signify that he understood, and withdrew his hand.
