Duke, Please Repent! chapter 199

40. The Duke and the Disappearance Case (4)

Considering the speed and concentration of me and the guy at work, etc.]. Even if Serpence had more work to do than me, he should have finished it first.

But for some reason, we always finished work at the same time, and then we had a gym class together at the gym.

I just let the bastard match my pace

I thought I'd give it to you.

'So, I thought you were just playing and working! They secretly do other things like me!'

Am I even thinking that I have to constantly prove my worth?

It was awkward at first, but these days, after work, I thought that his work addiction had improved after relaxing and joking around in the study room.

I feel like I've been hit in the back a bit.

'Can't this kid be able to rest without someone to play with?!'

If he was just five, not (twenty) five, he would have given him a toy and told him to play alone... .

No matter how much Serpence is, he wouldn't do blocks like that, would he?

It's unfortunate, but it's not like this.

If you have nothing to do, you can take a nap. There is no one in the world who works because there is nothing to play.

There are only people who work because there is no money to play.

"It's all confiscated."

" Ha, but."

As I carefully gathered the documents and put them aside, Serpens stretched out his hand, earnestly asking for it back.

If you thought that I would return it, you are clearly mistaken.

"But it's okay, but it's useless! I know how to look at documents now, do I?"

Is the baby saying "I'm sorry" is used in such a case?

It was good until he pushed Serpence's hand and spoke firmly.

Even so, what I just said seems to have been done for nothing.

It seems that Serpens, who knows my situation, passed it on without much thought, but Hans's gaze, who was still in the office, was unusual.

You must be swearing to yourself that you have now learned what you should have known before getting a job.

Let's pretend we didn't notice pretending not to know From now on, my nun level is Hugh Manus level.

"This, this and this! And from here to there. You can do it all later, right?

hand it over to the ... . It's a bit vague, but I can do it. Please check later. And that... , are you kidding me now?! Hey, butler! I have a butler's job here!"

"...Yes?!,,

Hans, who was watching me frantically rummaging through the documents on Serpence's desk, let out a muffled sound.

As I waved and beckoned to the paperwork once more, he came to his senses and took the paperwork.

"This is one of the tasks I handed over to Xeon-kun."

"Then the deputy butler would know that the butler is handling this."

"Hey, why ?"

As in the past, if Hans had been handling the butler's work alone, he would have wandered around looking for it since the work to be done was gone.

However, when one or two jobs are being passed on to a successor for takeover, it is a different story if the job itself is secretly stolen from the middle.

Serpence dug into that loophole.

'Please don't use your head on this kind of thing.

go!'

Shall we even look at Serpens with an absurd expression on Hans's face?

It was something I would never do or would normally do.

He soon realized the blasphemy in his gaze and looked away immediately, but the document in his hand still shows an unbelievable expression.

"If you don't have work, just take a break!"

* O Uh... "

--9 - 口

I never would have dreamed of being caught like this.

Serpens blushed and shook his head.

snuggled down He seems to be aware that he has done something shameful.

The duvet will be pretty full tonight.

"And the butler! What have you been doing since you became a butler? And Isn't it the duty of a butler to create an environment where you can rest comfortably? Yes?!"

"that ."

"What is that? No face?"

" Yes."

"Hey, you treat me like that. What is it that you do right?"

Such a person is not even qualified to own a cat. All deacon licenses should be revoked.

I crossed my arms and looked at Hans with one distasteful look, then popped my feet and pounded the floor with my forefoot.

Every time the heel of the shoe and the carpet on the floor met, there was a dull sound.

"Take care of the butler's work, and if you bring the things that are piled up over there to Administrator Guberno, they will take care of it. Put it away quickly."

" Yes."

"Don't forget the report I mentioned earlier."

"All right."

Did Hyuntara come too late?

Hans answered obediently and left the office with all the documents except for the ones I had set aside for my business.

The droopy shoulders resembled the back of a patriarchal father who said he didn't care and didn't know when the children were growing up and had a lot of work, but when the children are all grown up, he tried to pretend to be friendly and was rejected.

Although it looked sullen, it didn't feel pitiful.

That should have been good in the beginning.

at least it was too late

"Ttttttt."

I glanced at the door that Hans had just left, and, with a smirk, grabbed my paperwork and carried it to my desk.

Serpence's desk, which was always full of papers, was empty.

It's a pity that Euges even brought flowers. If it wasn't for you, what was up there was a fountain pen and two handkerchiefs.

The chapter must have been everything.

He folded the handkerchief neatly and put it in a corner of the desk.

"I thought I'd let the butler wash the handkerchiefs too."

I went back to his seat and grabbed two hand towels.

Now all he really has on his desk is a fountain pen and a vase.

"If you don't have anything to do, you'll fall over... Is that a bad posture? Lie down on the sofa in the living room over there and take a nap."

"No. No specification."

"If you didn't like the drawing room, the desk would be empty.

Everyone, did you sleep on it?"

"It's not like that, but I haven't finished organizing my thoughts yet "

The boy answered with a blurry end of his speech.

If you are a beginner in Serpens, you may be mistaken, 'Are you going to sleep when you're done thinking?', but you should not fall into such a trap.

If it is that child, it is clear that he will make up these excuses and that excuses and throw them out.

"It's a serious matter."

"I know, I know."

"I'm not making excuses..."

"Is that because you know?"

Maybe he read the thoughts in my eyes as I looked at him, and he didn't say anything yet, but Serpens made a sloppy excuse first.

"Come on now. Then, while hyung works, I'm waiting while eating this. You know?"

"I'm not waiting..."

"Yeah, yeah. Think carefully."

I took a piece of chocolate from the subspace pocket and shook it, and Serpens still had a grumpy expression on his face.

As for the theme, I took chocolate with me.

' Come to think of it, I haven't even been able to talk about snacks in the kitchen today. Do you want me to upload it and send it to you?'

You may be disappointed if you say it for nothing.

Wait first, and if there are no snacks coming up, you can take out the cookies you have in your pocket.

"Sun-woo, hurry up and go to work, right?"

"Ah, look at my mind!"

I hurried back to my seat and started working on the paperwork.

After working for a long time, he glanced up and looked at Serpence, which was a sight to behold.

He was clenching his mouth with an extremely serious expression.

There are no caterpillars gnawing at the leaves.

Where is that?

After wrapping the chocolate with another handkerchief from somewhere, he held it lightly only with his fingertips.

It must have been that the chocolate didn't melt at the body temperature of my hands.

" Please put some chocolate in your mouth.

did."

It is a scientifically proven fact that eating chocolate helps when depressed.

Even if I don't keep an eye on it, I don't think I'll ever dig down alone until I've eaten all that chocolate at least.

"Sunwoo, don't worry about me and focus on your work."

"I'll finish the game quickly even if I don't see it, so Serpense should finish the homework quickly, right?"

As it turned out, I still haven't been able to give an answer to my worries, the guy nods.

and took a large bite of the chocolate.

After that, don't you know if you're regretting eating it all and saying it's a waste?

* * *

Serpense's plan was not that great.

He controls the speed of eating chocolate, and it's exactly 10 minutes before 3 o'clock when the snack comes up. I ended the act of eating chocolate.

The remaining 10 minutes enjoy the afterglow,

Maybe it's time to look forward to a snack to eat later.

His lips were tightly shut, but when he saw the movement of his jaw, he was rolling his tongue and enjoying the sweetness and reverberation of the melted chocolate in his mouth.

"Euges will be coming up soon, have you finished thinking about it?"

"That's , whoo-one."

He sighed deeply with a puzzled expression on his face.

"I'll talk."

"Direct?!"

Although he had come to a conclusion, as if he had not yet had the courage, he closed his eyes tightly and moved his head up and down only once.

"If you think I can't talk..."

"It's okay, I'll wait."

"It's not "

"Eugus will also wait patiently for you."

The child has made a big decision with a lot of effort, but I can't support her, but I have no intention of helping her to run away without her tail.

not even an eyebrow

With my attitude without a single step back, he grabbed the empty chocolate wrapper with a regretful expression already.

"Aren't you too anxious?"

" However."

I put my pen down, making eye contact with the flirting guy.

It would be unreasonable to finish all the remaining tasks in 10 minutes anyway.

It would be better to postpone what you were doing after tea time and focus on looking at the serpents for now.

"Euges didn't even say anything, I'm sure you're guessing, what."

"Hey, what does that mean?"

Serpense's shoulders trembled and shook greatly.

"What's so surprising? Does anyone know that Serpens has been revered as the master of the Holy Sword?"

If it weren't for severing all human relationships and staying alone in the mountains, there would be no one on this continent who wouldn't know about it.

"Besides, he seems to be getting along well with the people of the duke's house, but then

Naturally, you must have heard all about Serpence's life before I came. It is said that a person who was so addicted to sweets worked all day and night, eating only unseasoned food. If you don't notice something weird, it's even weirder."

"Why are you saying that now?"

Serpens pursed his lips and furrowed his brow.

If I had known about it in advance, I would have come to a conclusion easily without thinking this much.

I didn't say it because I thought it would be like this.

Where do you decide what to do? It's just desperation.

"Why doesn't Serpence know what I guessed? It's hard for me if you tell me that you didn't notice because you couldn't afford it."

Originally, Iran was like that.

They don't even think about digging into their parents' deep feelings, and let out their resentment first.

When will my child grow up to recognize me?

"Anyway. Even if you don't know the details, you're probably noticing it. Take what you've already decided, feel free to take it."

" I get it."

"The time is running out, so let's move to the drawing room, shall we?"

He still looked at me with a deceived expression, but I shrugged and stood up.
