Duke, Please Repent! chapter 213

41. People of the Dukes (1)

Thank you, aide! Thank you so much!!

Jack nodded and greeted me with a small suitcase.

Uh-huh, how many times do you say thank you? If you're on vacation, you should go see your little daddy. Why do you come to visit me again?

It has already been a week since I went to the Recluton estate.

Others were still in custody in the church, but Wayne and others who rejected the will of the demons were released first.

There was a reason that they had not heard much about them because they were often in a state of confusion and fainting from being tortured, but above all, it was because their innocence was certain.

'I didn't know there were more than Wayne.'

Yes, there were only three people including him.

The number is too small compared to the number of people there, so it's futile, and I'm curious as to where this is.

Anyway.

For that reason, Wayne went home first, and Serpens ordered Hans to give Jack Gold a special vacation.

Before I go, I think I should say thank you again...

That day, after hearing that Wayne was safe, he thanked him like that, but that must have been enough.

You're going to get scabs on your ears, so please stop.

Lastly, say thank you to the Duke. Then I'll be back after my vacation.

After bowing again, Jack turned around and ran out of the mansion.

I realized that it was boring to hear too many words of thanks.

'And there's one more thing that I've gotten tired of lately... .'

that's a walnut

who hates me the most

If you ask me what a nut is, I am ready to answer 'walnut' without hesitation.

Even just thinking about it, my stomach churned.

The promise, made unilaterally without my consent, to buy confectionery with walnuts as soon as I returned, was truly kept.

However, the problem is that Serpens kept it too much.

'It's too much to eat walnuts all week!'

After returning to the mansion and finishing the paperwork after a long time.

He disappeared without saying that he would come out for a while, and he bought a cookie with walnuts in it.

Then, I should have nodded when he asked if this was the walnut cookie you were looking for.

'Why did I do that?!'

From that day until today, the walnut parade has begun.

I didn't notice it until the next morning when the fragrant multigrain bread with walnut grains appeared on the table.

When the walnut tart was served as a snack, the sound of 'How is it?' came out naturally.

'I should have stopped him then.'

the third day.

I felt ominous as I put the croissant in my mouth with whipped cream mixed with walnuts.

????????

When I was faced with a confectionery loaf filled with cream cheese and walnuts, I realized that there was no turning back.

A walnut tree was planted in the middle of the garden .

'Why did you give me the Nutcracker?!'

I received a gift that I do not understand in English.

From the fifth day onwards, Eugene voluntarily left the teatime member with the excuse that he was on a diet.

And I ate a mousse cake mixed with walnut powder.

Just yesterday, on the sixth day, I begged Serpens to let him go.

But he shoved a walnut-filled pinangsi into my mouth.

It's been a week like that today.

'Hey, isn't this a bit harsh?'

I received a call from the denomination that I would visit the mansion at around 3 pm today, and I did not have to eat walnuts today.

I was happy though.

Chocolate muffins with walnuts were on the table.

'Isn't there a word for moderation in her dictionary?!'

At least you don't have to worry about getting homesick.

If there's something I miss, he'll find something similar and recommend me to bite him off.

However, as soon as I start to feel malicious, as soon as the customer leaves, I have to catch him and have a serious conversation about what he is dissatisfied with.

I didn't know you two would come together.

Serpens hid her trembling feelings and asked the two heretic inquisitors sternly.

That's what he meant, and to put it clearly, he asked Eilrich, who was sitting next to Altar, 'Why did you come here when you're not involved?'

There is some overlap between the statements of the demon worshipers I caught this time and the statements of the demon worshipers I was interrogating about in June last year, so I came here to check the truth once again.

Eirich replied.

It was an excuse that he did not violate the discipline of the denomination because of his regrets about the world.

'Wait a minute. Eirich was in charge of that?'

That being said, the advisory specialist that the denomination was so proud of at the time was Eillich.

What the hell is this house doing?

Do you mean overlapping parts...?

Serpens asked Eirich a question.

In a very cautious tone.

In it, I could see his anxiety.

Altar-sama will tell you about that part as well. I'm just following you for confirmation, so you don't have to worry about it.

Ummm... I see.

Serpens nodded slightly, this time looking back.

There Hans stood.

"Isn't the butler not leaving?"

After the table setting is all finished and the maids leave, for some reason Hans still remains, Serpence is

He told me to turn it off.

Normally, he wouldn't have stayed here, but since he even received Serpense's congratulatory order, he should quietly step down.

However, Hans' abnormal behavior did not stop there.

''I think that the heretical inquisitors of the denomination came to the duke's residence today to confirm what happened in this mansion in the past.

He thinks that it is the duty of a butler to follow whatever orders his master gives, pretending he didn't understand the simple command to get out and saying something else.

put on

It's actually a refusal of orders.

.. butler?

It wasn't Hans who followed Serpense's orders to take care of me, even though he briefly expressed dissatisfaction with it.

Perhaps this was not expected, Serpence showed a bewildered look.

I know what happened at the Duke's residence in the past better than anyone else. Not only things from a very young age that the Duke doesn't remember, but also things that happened before he was born. So, it would be better for me to stay here.

It is my judgment that it will help.

There is no reason to kick him out anymore.

He knows more, and the evidence to back it up is clear, so he does not even say that he needs it.

Okay. If that's the reason...

Reluctantly, Serpens answered that way, looked away from him and turned his head to look at Altar.

There is no need to confirm that there are no lies in those unsavory stories.

Ser at Altar's confident words

Pence nodded with a grim expression, as if he had committed a crime.

It was something I couldn't get away with.

It would be better to do this rather than memorize each one and check it.

I don't really want to believe what the demon worshipers say, but they say they've never touched the former Duke of Prasidus or anything else.

What is to come has finally come.

As the devil I met on Semita Street said the same thing, Eirich

This must be the reason why we came together.

Eugenes made an expression of what the heck did that have to do with it now.

I've been trying to make a face like her, Jill. I don't know if it happened.

There is no hostage as good as a living relative, so I don't do such harm.

Altar's words continued.

It was a remark that was so convincing because it was such a rubbish fit for demon worshipers.

Besides, the killer who killed the deceased former Duke and Duchess of Prasidus could never be caught. And the current Duke...

The demon worshipers I questioned at first claimed that too, but in the end they confessed that they had done it!

Suddenly, Eirich intercepted Althar's words.

But the content is not serious.

'How special did you make the alternative torture?!'

Serpens killed his parents himself.

The fact that it was true was confirmed not only by the [Master of the Holy Sword], but also by his mouth.

It can only be thought that the tortured evil-seungi finally made a false confession and found eternal rest.

Eirich-sama! Are you following me for this?

Altar-sama, please do it in moderation. Isn't it too harsh to even say such a thing to someone who has gone through such a difficult thing?

So, let's make sure that the same problem doesn't happen again.

Isn't that what you should be doing?

I don't know what the hell this is.

It was a conversation that proved only to be true of Eilich's words that he had an occupational disease with a shaky tone.

Altar-sama, you probably don't know because it was before he joined the church. At that time, traces of magic and black magic were found around the scene of the incident.

"That much can be extracted from the blood of monsters, and if it is a monster, there are plenty of them in the Volta Mountains. Eirich

Do you know too well?"

I knew very well that Serpens was very meticulous and planned from an early age.

In fact, I'm half-frozen now and my eyes are twitching.

He looked like he did not understand why Eilic was defending himself.

When I heard the news that my former users had been kidnapped, I knew it was going to end up like this.

The gaze of everyone in the drawing room, including the two heretical interrogators who were arguing, was the master of the voice. to Hans

headed to

I know who murdered my dead master and master.

Hans declared a bomb.

Looking at your face, I don't know what you're thinking.

You have to be faithful. If you give the vague answer that it was done by a demon worshiper in a situation like this, your master may be in more trouble.

Yes, I know.

Hans responded without hesitation to Althar's advice that it would be better to just keep your mouth shut if you want to go out of your way.

'Are you doing this knowing that Serpens did it? So, I'm the one who's going to throw it away anyway, so it's like refusing an order... .'

It'd be better for the heretic inquisitor to slap you, I don't know what you're talking about and my heart is racing

Serpens had a pale face, making it doubtful whether he was breathing or not.

Because shutting Hans's mouth right now is nothing but confessing, 'I am the culprit.' He held his trembling hands, restrained himself, and quietly waited for the next words.

The one who killed the deceased master and his wife... is the deceased master.

This is a remark that raises the question of whether the word dead was accidentally said twice.

"Gee, butler? That, what ."

Serpens sighed and looked up at Hans, who was standing behind him in disbelief.

The former Duke Prasidus took his own life after killing his wife.

Hans glanced around at the confused people, then opened his mouth again and organized his remarks.

It was a blatant lie.
