Duke, Please Repent! chapter 185

37. Revisiting the Dark House with the Duke (5)

Serpens is a self-recognized celebrity.

His public schedule was known to those in the know.

Also, at least within this empire, even a five-year-old commoner child knows what an external fence is like.

I protect such a serpent for a long time

have you seen

If I hadn't known that this board was a go-stop, I would have thought,

'Hey, hey, hey. You must, um!'

may have been sarcastic.

However, Serpens made up an innocent face of bewilderment.

Ah! Last month, thank you for saving my aide. The note you left was also very helpful.

Serpence expressed his gratitude as if he had just thought of it.

On the surface, it seems like he said something to Eugene, but if you look at the content, it can be said that he is grateful to himself.

Serpence patted his head in his head and said, 'Guck Serpense, good pence! Well done, myself! I thought of him muttering.

I stopped because I thought the laughter would leak out.

That's not what I did. Our Illuminati has a lot of members, and somebody did it. If you want to say thank you, do it yourself.

do it.

Eugenes said, as if for granted, that Serpens joined the Illuminati as a prerequisite.

You're already signed up, so don't worry.

But isn't it too unconscionable to do so many things with only four of them?

Actually, the arena of the Bastul Kingdom that we talked about earlier was originally going to be entrusted to you as a test as well.

What is that... I hope that 'that information'

What I shed for Dia... ?

Serpence, I'm surprised now!' was beautifully expressed with wide eyes and covering the mouth with a hand.

Eugenes was wearing a mask, so there was no expression on his face, but he nodded and confirmed that his guess was correct.

And Frederick rolled his eyes with an expression that he didn't understand English.

It must have been that the emperor had not heard anything about Serpence's business trip last year.

I'm curious to know what happened, though.

Perhaps he didn't think it was time for him to leave, so Frederick quietly watched their conversation.

But it's that group that solved the matter? By the time we arrived in the Kingdom of Bastul...

Yes. It is such a setting.

Serpens had reported to the emperor that when he arrived in the Kingdom of Bastul, everything had already been done!

This time, in the process of writing the script and practicing acting, Eugene and Serpens

It's something I found out.

'Before leaving, I got permission from the emperor and left, so I thought I would have reported that the Illuminati was a rigged group... .'

Perhaps from then on, he was planning to raise the Illuminati.

I always thought that adding strange settings to me was just because he liked making fun of me... .

At this point, I start to feel like that's not all.

'It's like such a despicable fox fence!'

Even when asked about this, the appearance of not answering, doing something else, and pretending not to hear made it even more suspicious.

Maybe it's because I know that if I have to lie, I won't even eat a seed.

Let's say it's because she was more careful than we thought. I thought she would act immediately upon hearing the information we leaked, but after investigating the truth of the information on her own...

She talks about herself with her mouth . No, let's not think about it.

At this moment, the purple in front of me

Let's believe that an elf is not Eugenes.

Due to the twist of the schedule, if you arrived at the Kingdom of Bastul and took care of it, you might not be able to return to the Empire until the day of your choice, so you had no choice but to change your plan.

Does that mean I didn't pass the test?

No, not really.

Eugene, like Eugene, cut off Serpense's words and denied it.

"At a time when the day of choice is near, did you go to a distant foreign country with information that is not certain?

To save them, and to punish the demon worshipers. I could see that he was not just a responsible person, but a just person who truly served the continent. It is also true that he is a person who does not ignore the sacrifice of the few for the sake of the many.

It is true that the information was a bit subtle, but as for the purpose, there was a voice saying, 'Well, let's come.'

Now that I think about it, Serpens knew that he was not chosen by the Holy Sword, so I wonder if he was half-escape from reality.

If you don't have enough time in the first place, travel by train

I was going to come back right away.

Because the main purpose was to verify it. At the time I left the Empire, the test had already passed.

Ummm...

Fits really well.

Maybe Sir Redford

If you're asking if he's a member of us, say no. But if you ask if our breath touched him in choosing you as lord... huhu.

. Is that so?

Her meaningful language 1, Serpens, made up a bitter smile and shook her head.

But don't make such a serious face. The loyalty he showed you is sincere. We're only giving advice.

Eugese said while supporting Serpens's chin with his index finger.

It's an ad-lib that wasn't in the script.

'Hey, let's not put self-interest in acting!'

What is Serpence doing?

She looked at her with her eyes and tilted her head slightly.

Without any regrets, she withdrew her hand.

To him, who was abandoned by his master and wounded, who will be the new master who can trust and follow him and heal his wounds? We only informed him of that. It is his will that makes the choice, and that means that you are truly loyal. It's because he's a person who can devote himself to and follow him.

It's kind of like treating Winston as an abandoned dog, but let's pretend we don't know.

"So, have you made up your mind now?"

uh... .

"What are you hesitating about?"

I am a servant of the Emperor, who has been loyal to his Majesty. It is impossible for me to go under someone else's command and obey his orders.

Serpens, who had a record of fabricating the report to the emperor and missing out altogether, said.

If I hadn't come, Serpens who would have been ravaging my country by now.

The Serpens who destroyed the empire in [Master of the Holy Sword]!

There has never been such a loyalty before. I am the grand door

It's kind of worrying.

It's an important issue for me.

I didn't mean it that way. This continent is a demon worshiper. Furthermore, we have to protect the continent from the demons and demon lords behind it. Before winning. Before which country we belonged to. We are all

Wasn't it something that lived on this continent?

What do we do ?

Wearing a mask and making such a noise with the gesture of spreading your arms, it's so pseudonymous.

And what we want from you is not loyalty. The first reason is to pass on the information we find through you to the Empire, so that they can be prepared. There was no need to call the prince, notarizing that Serpens acted as our spokesperson.

You could say it's for the sake of it.

In that way, Frederick became a living public certificate.

Secondly, there will be times when you will need the force you have. And of course, it will be to punish the demon worshipers. It's not bad if you receive information from the demon worshipers rather than follow our orders, right?

uh... , indeed.

Serpens pretended to be persuaded by Eugene's words.

And next to him, Frederick

He was nodding his head as if he was persuaded.

"It's the same thing with this dark town. In the Illuminati, the investigation was completed and prepared early, and in the Empire, the information was only available now."

Serpens had no objection to her words, and Frederick had nothing to refute.

After shutting the two of them, Eugene laughed.

"Where did you get that information?"

"There are many members of the organization who are good at collecting information.

I pray, but the point is to what extent . Oh, oh my. I cannot tell you that this is confidential. Of course, if you become a member of us, you will know naturally.

Eugenes crossed the index fingers of both hands to form an X, and brought it over the mask to the position where his mouth would be.

Although he acted as if he had said something by mistake, it was an explicit intention to join the Illuminati if you are curious about the source of the information.

"You still haven't made up your mind?"

Wait... Wait, I need time to think.

I need it. I'm still very confused... .

"How about a drink while you organize your thoughts?"

Specify.

At the two consecutive rejections, Eugene's ears drooped slightly.

I think it's good for the Duke to accept the offer.

Majesty?,,

Frederick, who seemed to be in deep thought as he listened to Serpence and Eugene's conversation, spoke in a very serious voice.

Serpense also responded with serious acting to that serious appearance.

It feels like cheating on a prince who doesn't know anything about the world, so it's a truly disgusting sight.

'The more scammers, the more likeable impressions are... .'

[Master of the Holy Sword] I can't even laugh at the sight of the two of the world's official beauties, 1st and 2nd, working together to cheat.

Should I call this a waste of my face or an appropriate place?

"As he said, the continent now has power.

It's time to put them together. I'll tell Abama-mama well, so you don't have to worry about that.

The Second Prince...

Serpens made up a moved face, and Frederick smiled brightly, telling him to believe only in himself.

Okay. If that's the case, then I'll accept that offer.

Serpens said with a determined expression on his face.

How sad will Frederick be when he finds out that all this was a play?

I thought about it. I will never regret that decision.

???????????????????????????? It's okay.

And lastly, don't come here again. The next meeting will take place outside the dark district.

"Why?"

You are so conspicuous here. No matter how you disguise your appearance, the insides remain the same. If you visit often, you will eventually get caught.

Eugez looked at the second prince as if saying 'especially you!'

Then what should we do when we need to contact you first?"

wait.

However !

Seeing the dissatisfied expression on the second prince's face, Yu Jis shook his head.

It means no compromise.

"I'm not saying this out loud either. As you have seen, this dark street is very wide. I don't know if it's all about managing this place, I'm running hard to keep an eye on the demon worshipers sneaking in.

You have no choice but to.

"Are you saying you can't leave your seat?"

Yeah. My subordinates will spend more time at this tavern than I do.

Then if you ask him to deliver the letter...

Euges shook his head again.

What a naive idea.

"What does that mean?"

Literally. This place is a dark place.

Did you not forget the thread? He is the man of this street to the last. They are only yielding to power, they are not trustworthy.

Was it the subordinate who picked it up on this street and brought it in from outside?

You didn't even tell me, how did you know that?

If I had been Frederick, I would have been very upset.

Anyway, now that I'm done talking, let's go back.

let me do it.

Euges said in a tone that he was very fond of.

The professional spirit of not forgetting his own setting values stood out until the very end.
