Duke, Please Repent! chapter 232

43. The Duke and the Demon of Darkness (7)

Serpens acted when dealing with Winston, and Winston looked at Serpens' eyes.

That's weird. really.

'Did Winston pay attention to Serpens like that?'

Serpens is shivering.

Even so, Winston's attitude was definitely strange.

In a way, it is natural for a knight to look at his master's mood in order to gain trust.

But apart from that, Winston's appearance looked somewhat dazed.

Before the entrance exam, he looked like a high school 3rd grader who got even an 8th grade in the last mock test.

'I think the biggest cause is the kidnapping incident... .'

Someone tried to harm the master,

Did the knight find out about it only after all the incidents were over?

Even with the title of personal escort?

It's like finding out that your child is being bullied at school only after a bullying event.

Saying you didn't know because the child didn't tell you isn't even an excuse.

It is the parents' fault for failing to build a trusting relationship so that the child can trust and rely on them.

'In the first place, if you are a guardian, you will notice

Well, I should have asked what happened.'

There were definitely signs.

Late at night, Eugenes and Hans visited my room several times, and Serpens was completely lying down.

No matter how much Serpence went in and out of hiding, there were limits.

'I don't know if you're sleeping shallowly, how do you hide your presence while you're in a deep sleep?'

You seem to be sleeping deeply, but there is no sign?

It's just lyrics.

He's not sleeping, he's fainting, so he needs to be taken to the hospital right away.

'The other knights don't know, but Winston, who uses one building, would have noticed.'

But for some reason Winston didn't ask that.

He told me about the Illuminati and the messengers of the gods, so you were optimistic that Serpens would tell you if you wait patiently?

perhaps.

Conversely, I may have been pessimistic.

It was clear what had happened, and

Knowing that God had no choice but to notice it, he didn't say a word about it.

'It's a matter of trust... .'

I heard the story of a child and a guardian as an example, but Winston is not the guardian of Serpens.

It was the same with other articles.

Therefore, Serpence said that it was a job that required confidentiality, and he made the knights understand by saying that he could not lead the Knights and had a minimum number of personnel.

Anyway, he left Hans with instructions in case he was late and the evil spirits couldn't stop them.

Even without explaining the situation in advance, the expression acting that everyone believed that they would move quickly was an added bonus.

'The problem is that the excuse is not even an eye-watering thing for Winston... .'

Perhaps the duke himself did not come up with an excuse for sleeping in the aide's room every night.

He'll be like that too, because it's currently in progress.

Zion?

As I was thinking about this and that, Serpens called me as if wondering.

"What are you thinking so deeply about?"

"How can I make four people sleep on two beds ?"

"Isn't it just fair that everyone sleeps in their sleeping bags?"

Serpence replied lightly, as if he was worrying about something like that.

That sounds like a very big deal.

Absolutely not!

why?

Did you hear about Serpence? The promise I made to Eillich that I would guarantee Serpence's comfortable sleep no matter what happened. How long has it been since you promised to leave it?

Wasn't it just a slurred word?

Isn't it? Are you serious?

With eyes full of sincerity

I looked straight into Serpens's eyes.

He looked at me for a moment, blinked his eyes, then turned his head and exhaled a little.

I mean, you know, do what you want.

The cow horns were also pulled out quickly, so I quickly pulled the bed out of my pocket.

"Oh my God that you brought a bed wasn't a joke, was it true?"

Eugenes exclaimed at my creativity.

It was a reaction as if it was amazing to hear, but that must have been my misunderstanding.

That means, 'Are you serious about saying, 'No matter what?'

"What kind of obvious question are you asking?"

If anything happens to be homeless outside...

He was also a smart person, so his ability to apply was different.

If you look at one, you know the heat, and she was already worried about the outdoor sleeping environment.

There must be a large tent in the duke's mansion that can be used as a temporary barracks for long-distance campaigns.

I'm thinking of sleeping in bed.

Ah! When the weather is nice, wouldn't it be better to sleep while looking at the stars?

"It wasn't like that but I think it's a good idea."

Eugene's ears perked up.

Because of her dazzling change of posture, Win Stone gave a bewildered look on her face as if she had been unable to keep up with the flow of the conversation.

And Serpens narrowed his eyes and glared at me.

The strange person is the light in my eyes, asking me not to increase it any more, since one person is enough.

"Don't be like that, Serpense, please get out of bed quickly. Wouldn't that be the way to get a quote?"

Wouldn't it be great to sleep in a huge bed when you're a Duke of the Empire?

With such hope, I urged Serpense, and he reluctantly opened the entrance to the subspace pocket.

Eh?

The subspace pocket spit out only a king-size bed. The reaction that they were not pleased with the size far below expectations came out of nowhere.

Serpens glanced at me with a look into why he was reacting like that.

"Aren't you supposed to be sleeping in a bed big enough for a duke of an empire to roll around ten laps?"

"What standard is that?"

It can't be this way. I'll check Serpens's room as soon as I get back to the duke's house.

It's a bad habit to force yourself just because you don't like the situation.

The guy spoke as if he was giving a lesson to a flirtatious little child.

Treating a friend as a child, I don't know where the habit came from.

I can't help it. I'm an adult who can be content with what I've been given... I'm going to assume Eugenes sleeps in my bed and the three of us sleep in Serpens's bed?

It's nonsense.

"No, you can! Tet", no

It's like playing with blocks, with Sir Winston lying in the middle and me and Serpens lying on the left and right with their heads at his feet!

" Didn't you promise to guarantee my bed?"

In fact, I vaguely felt it as I spoke. I don't think this is a bit

It's not enough to sleep next to someone you're not even close to, should you sleep with that person's feet by your bedside?

There is no high

I'll just sleep on the floor.

I dared to put my feet next to the master's face

Couldn't, Winston claimed an uncomfortable sleeping position.

'Winston's welfare is so low, I'm sorry to put him to sleep on the floor... .'

Serpence has to go to bed unconditionally, so I'm the only one left.

But it's strange that I, the weakest person here, sleeps on the cold, hard stone floor.

' Everyone will be against it.'

Even Yuji Su, who had been assigned my bed earlier, seemed uncomfortable with this situation.

She looks like she wants to say something

He looked at us through the oyster.

nothing to hear

I'd rather sleep on the floor, so please don't fight over the bed, or something like that.

You often come up with bizarre and not ingenious ideas, but conversely, if you get caught up in them, your vision narrows.

While he was pondering over what to do, Serpens squeezed his temples and said as if in pain.

At his words, Eugene also pointed out something.

Is there any corner? 'Oh, as expected,' he let out a short exclamation.

What am I missing?"

Isn't there a bed that the owner of this place was using?

"If there was such a thing, you should have said it right away, why are you talking now?"

Your idea was so absurd that I was at a loss for words.

"You know that blaming others is a bad habit, right?"

Serpens pouted his lips with an expression on who is speaking now.

killed

Anyway, thanks to the 3rd bed, all problems were solved smoothly.

Winston hurriedly took the pawnshop owner's bed, wondering if I should sleep in a good bed and give up the seat next to Serpence.

Even though his feet were sticking out of the bed because of his height of over 21n, he was very satisfied.

'Is it uncomfortable to share a bed with Serpence like that?'

But what's the point of letting him sleep like that?

I took off the bed cover and the duvet, and put a new duvet that was rolling in my pocket.

It seems that Eugenes liked the allocated bed too.

She was already wallowing in bed. It's a very desirable attitude.

'It would be nice if Serpence imitated him... .'

The guy couldn't tolerate going into bed in the same outfit he had been walking around, so he headed to the bathroom to change clothes and wash.

After that, I don't know if the condition of the bathroom will be okay.

'If I had known this would be the case, I would have cleaned the pawnshop owner before handing it over to Frederick .'

Contrary to concerns, Serpens did not run away from the bathroom, startled by the dirty bathroom.

Since I chose this pawnshop considering the problem of washing, I guess that the cleanliness was also meticulously taken care of.

And not a short time passed.

He returned to the warehouse, wiping off his wet hair with a towel. The one that looks soft and fluffy is probably the towel from the peacock's house.

Also, he was not wearing a pajamas, but a shirt with a relaxed fit and pants that looked good in activity.

It's a neighborhood where you never know what's going to happen, so it's probably because you've been prepared so that you can get into a fighting stance right away.

'I've only brought a bunch of pajamas with the intention of lounging around here... .'

What has already passed is unavoidable.

In the future, I decided to put my entire wardrobe inside.

...why is the sleeping bag on the bed?

I think he checked the bed while I was scanning Serpence's attire.

Seeing that one of the sleeping bags that Eugenes had pulled out was stuck on his bed, Serpens expressed his doubts.

I think he's worried that Shion will accidentally crush the serpent while sleeping.

Eugenes also answered, waking up from the bed as if he was going to wash up.

At those words, Serpens put on an absurd expression on his face.

But I couldn't help it either.

It is clear that my bad sleeping habit will kick the serpent who is sleeping soundly, stealing the blanket, and pushing it into the corner.

Does Serpence know how guilty it is to accidentally crush a child while sleeping? Because if my mother says she's still drunk, she hugs me and apologizes for that?

It's something I don't even remember, but it doesn't seem like I'm usually surprised.

In the testimony of Count Ribelon, the rumor that Zion is the most docile is really popular.

Was it a thread?!

Eugese, who went out of the warehouse, must have heard my voice too.

When she returned to the Burinake warehouse, she shouted with a look of astonishment.

Hey, was there such a rumor?!

You], have you not heard of Winston? Shion has been particularly introverted since childhood, so it must have been a lot of concern for her family."

" it's just a rumor, isn't it?"

"It's hard to see that these words came out of the mouth of Xion's younger brother, Zeon.

no.

Eugese explained in a tone that seemed to be telling a ghost story, and Winston's eyes fluttered wildly.

Still, I thought it was just a rumor...

Two pairs of eyes turned to me.

Serpens turned his head away as if telling him to take care of himself.

'Zeon is also working at the duke's residence, so why are these rumors still circulating?!'

Of course, I forgot about it, thinking that it would be erased from everyone's mind.

However, if such a conversation is still going on among users.

There may have been a working rule that said that if Xeon looked uncomfortable, he should never make eye contact.

'There is no other Neapolitan ghost story .'
