Duke, Please Repent! chapter 203

40. The Duke and the Disappearance Case (8)

The paperwork was almost finished.

The dawn had almost come to an end.

If it wasn't for the advisory meeting this morning, I would have just gone to bed and woke up early... .

However, sleeping in the middle helped.

The fact that there was no gloomy place anywhere for sleeping at the desk, Serpens may have given him divine power.

'By the way, even if I gave Serpens a vacation, he still has to go to the advisory council, right?'

After dealing with the Demon King and Humanus ascending to the throne.

By making Serpence take all the vacations she'd been on for a while, it seems like she'd feel refreshed after taking a trip to the continent's essential tourist destinations.

He took revenge on Huma-Eunsae and traveled around the continent.

It's a perfect, one-on-one plan.

Ah, I thought of something else...

While he was talking to himself involuntarily, he said 'Suck!' and covered his mouth.

I glanced back and saw that Serpens was sleeping well.

He's sleeping. .

'It looks a lot more comfortable, it's nice.'

Previously, you slept with your hands crossed over your chest, looking at the ceiling like a corpse in a coffin, but now you lie on your side, bend your back, and stretch your legs.

Folded and sleeping like a fetus.

His long hair is also tangled and scattered like a tree taking root.

Judging from the smile on his lips, he seems to be sleeping completely, far from having a nightmare.

At that time, he turned his head back to the desk with peace of mind.

In the middle of the night, it's not red, it's not, but at dawn, I hear a knock

The door swung open before permission could be granted.

It's the bathroom door, not the hallway door.

First of all, based on the information remaining in the duke's residence, we gave instructions to the informants. We are still checking the provinces, but in the capital .

Hans casually came in with the papers in his hand and started reporting.

What the hell is this guy doing?!

Why on this morning...!

I'm a magpie so I don't make footsteps

He raised his feet and crept closer to Hans, raising the proportion of air in his voice to 90% and shouting quietly and quietly.

Lights leaked out of the room, so I knew you were awake.

He said quietly, knowing I was awake, but apparently never expecting Serpence to be sleeping here.

Some wind blew that you woke up early, but I didn't know you were still processing papers.

Hans lifted his head slightly and looked over my shoulder at the papers stacked on the desk.

You must be criticizing me for shouting out at such a slow pace that I would take over the duke's work.

It's embarrassing for me.

After eating dinner to take care of Serpense, the three of us, including Eugene, gather in the study room on the 5th floor and have a snack party.

It's only been about two hours since I started late at night, fell asleep, and then started working again.

If it wasn't for that.

Even if the tea time at 3pm didn't get longer, at least during working hours.

could finish maybe.

Okay, lower your voice.

"It is five in the morning. No one in this building sleeps until this hour except for the aide "

Before Hans could finish his words, there was a rustling sound from the bed.

At that moment, Hans checked the bed and took a startled breath.

uh... . West who ?

Perhaps because of waking up from a deep sleep, Serpence called my real name with a shaky, loose tongue.

Wait, you mean the paperwork? We're almost done. Oh, why did you sleep so shallowly? Because you're getting a good night's sleep? It's nothing, just get a good night's sleep, pooh-!

I approached him and made the blanket, covered him nicely and even patted him, but he blinked slowly a few times before glanced at Hans and sat up in a booth.

Hans, there's nothing I really like about that yangban.

'The child is awake! What are you going to do?', I want to grab hold of the collar and shake it off.

"Did you just say what about the documents?"

Almost done.

"I ah, did I sleep that long?"

The guy ruffled his messy hair and said gibberish.

Looks like he hasn't slept yet.

Still, it is a bit too much to measure the time using how much paperwork I have processed as a reference point.

"Um But , what's going on here, the butler?"

Serpens glanced at Hans.

asked in a slow voice.

That's what the gentleman would want to ask more. You seem to think that this could be your own room.

Well, that's because I have something to tell you about what you ordered yesterday...

Is that so?

Yes, it is.

Hans couldn't hide his bewilderment and answered the question.

Serpense was wondering why he was sleeping in a place like this, and the reason for that, even though he looked like he was going to die.

Putting a vomit on Serpens' horse

Unable to ask, he didn't ask anything.

" What are you doing?"

Serpence asked what he was doing without reporting, and held out his hand as if asking for a document.

He seems to be waking up and not being able to understand the situation.

Confused, Hans reflexively handed the papers to Serpens, and I intercepted them in the middle.

It looks like the Duke hasn't woken up yet, please go to sleep.

It's usually time to wake up earlier.

The recommended sleep time for our age group is at least 7 hours? There's still a long way to go. If not, sleep until breakfast time.

Sir Zion who speaks like that is...

Unlike anyone who suffers from chronic sleep deprivation, I usually sleep a lot, so it's okay to sleep a day less, right?

No matter what Serpence said or not, he pressed his upper body to the bed, then pulled up the duvet and covered it to the top of his head.

It is very satisfying to see that they are able to resist enough and deliberately remove strength from their body and accept my hand.

And Eugene, I know what you're listening to. Whether you want to come over or not, are you watching? Come and see and hear, Duke, will you make a soundproofing screen for us to sleep?

As soon as the words were finished, the window slowly opened and Eugese entered.

I skipped half of it, so I would have been very embarrassed if I hadn't come, but I'm glad.

"How did you know?"

"The last time Xeon came up, he came right over, so I don't know why?"

Even if we found out about the existence of the secret passage and its uses, we had such a conversation yesterday afternoon. why don't you care

As soon as you noticed Hans was up, you must have been listening carefully to the conversation here.

Even now, she's aiming for Hans... , I thought you were watching.

Lying on the bed, she glanced at Serpens who was sticking her eyes out of the blanket. There is no eye stealer.

"Can't we just listen to it together?"

You 1, you can't. Don't worry about anything, Duke, and have a good night's sleep. If it is something you must know, I will explain it separately later in the day.

He patted him a couple of times, then stepped back from the bed and looked at Eugenes.

Like her quick-witted woman, she immediately summoned the spirit and created a transparent dome-shaped membrane around the bed on which he was lying.

Then please start watching.

As I turn the cover of the report, my soul is moved

I spoke to Hans, who was flirting.

Eugez was also curious about the contents, so he leaned close to me. I slightly pulled the hand holding the report out of my body and lifted it up so that she could see it too.

The first part of the report I gave you is a list of directories that were left in the records of the dukes. At that time, I also wrote down their hometown and the residence they had obtained after retirement.

Due to the nature of the people in this world who do not move often and settle as they are, most of them are still in the same place.

will be living

He nodded and turned the page.

"Did you say anything about the informant when you came in?"

Yes. We selected and mobilized only those with particularly heavy mouths. The provincial side is still investigating, but the location of those living in the capital has been completed.

Hey, the dog is fast!

Less than 24 hours have passed since the investigation was ordered.

Unbeknownst to my ability to process quickly

Exclamations broke out.

Hans, who had struggled to make up his mind and posted the report, touched his forehead as if he was dizzy.

Since the matter is a matter, I hastened it a bit. I have also written down the information about it, so please check the report for details.

Hearing his words, I quickly scanned the report with my eyes.

One person died of an illness a few years ago. Other than that, everyone seems to be eating and living well. No one was missing.

"To add to my personal opinion,

Compared to the provinces, it seems that the focus is on abducting people living in areas with relatively low security."

Well, of course it is.

It's something anyone can guess.

He closed the report and handed it over to Eugenes.

Based on this information, if she moves using the gate of the Dark Street, she will be able to quickly collect information about the change.

Because she only has one body, she runs into a number problem, but the duke's agents will make up for it.

Wylydia-sama...

Why Eugene? It's not about asking if he's an outsider... isn't it? He's much more reliable than the insider in front of me, and he's someone the Duke relies on.

...it was a question about whether you knew about the past, but I guess there was no need to ask.

Hans, who had found the answer he was looking for in his sarcastic remarks, shook his head as if he understood.

At times like this, we always quarreled with each other, but today, we react so calmly that I feel like I'm the only one who is trash

am.

What is it?

Then the report is over, so I'll just go back.

"Ah, yes yes."

As soon as he answered with a shaky nod, Hans disappeared without hesitation over the secret passageway.

Then I'll start investigating right away.

"What about breakfast?"

I'll procure it locally!

She cheerfully answered my question and threw herself out the window.

It was a strangely eerie feeling.

" What are you doing when you're not sleeping? Eugenes also blocked the sound for fear of being noisy."

I was standing in the middle of nowhere, and suddenly I was worried about Serpens, so I looked at the bed, and then my eyes met the guy who was sticking out his head over the blanket.

The barrier that blocked the sound had disappeared, probably from what Euges had gathered as he left.

"Even if you can't hear the sound, you can feel the presence."

"Be very sensitive.

You thought you couldn't sleep because you didn't pat me until then.

"Hey, Serpens?"

Hmm, hmm! Anyway, it's an ambiguous time for me again, so I'll just go back.

what to do

It looks like you got the answer right.

The boy sighed and got up from his seat.

"Is it possible to extend my morning sleep by 5 minutes?"

It's impossible because it's already broken.

Why didn't Hans grab the man by the neck earlier?

In my 26 years of life, I have never had more regrets than this.

And today, I will go to the advisory meeting alone. It would be better to go to sleep as soon as I finish my work and finish my meal.

Am I not that tired?

Although I love sleep, I was once a student and before coming here I was a college student. Staying up all night is a familiar thing.

It's not that I haven't slept at all, and it's really good for about a day.

Do what I say. If you don't follow me...

What are you going to do?

I won't eat breakfast.

Serpens made a terrifying remark.

At best, I thought I'd be a little stingy, but he's been making incredibly terrifying threats.

If you change your language after breakfast, I will skip lunch and dinner.

"Wow, that's really shameful!

Where are you talking?!

Sun-woo just needs to rest in his room. Sir Redford will stand guard in front of the door, so you can sleep in peace.

It's not a guard, it's a surveillance!

So. What are you going to do?

At his urging, I had no choice but to cry and reply that I would do whatever he told me to eat mustard.

Serpens smiled contentedly and flew lightly out the window.

"Hey, that lethal fence !"

I hate it today, so I want to pinch my cheeks.
