Duke, Please Repent! chapter 245

45. How to discipline the Duke (1)

We went to a nearby inn to visit the Prasidus family's coachman, who was tired of waiting.

After enjoying his leisurely vacation at the luxurious inn that Serpens had reserved, he greeted us with a wide smile even at late night calls.

'...Is it a true story of welfare?'

I got into the carriage, feeling the dazzling welfare of the Prasidus family anew.

As the wagon started shaking, Serpens, who had been tense all the time, relaxed and let out a tired breath.

It was his first battle with the devil, and he was procrastinating. He must have used his divine power quite a bit.

Besides, mentally, I continued to push myself away, so of course I was tired.

''Serpence, are you okay?

Patting him on his weary back and asking questions; He suddenly grabbed my wrist.

Uh-huh? Why all of a sudden...

That's what I'm going to say.

Yes?

Are you really okay?

Serpens frowned and asked a question with a distressed expression.

It's not something the worst-looking person would say.

Isn't this the time to comfort me?

What is the most surprising and shocking topic of the day that makes you cry?"

Come on, wait a minute!

I wondered what the hell was going on with this, and Eugene, who was sitting in a distant place, hurriedly interrupted the conversation between the two of us.

Then he summoned the spirit of the wind to cut off the sound.

Serpens, did you cry? Standing in front of others? What the hell happened?!

As soon as the sound barrier was created, Eugenes started pouring out questions.

I don't show my feelings in front of others

It doesn't seem that it's too embarrassing to say that Serpense, who doesn't know, even cried.

Moreover, I expressed concern. I realized that it wasn't acting that was conscious of other people's gaze.

Calm down for now. I'll explain.

I twisted my wrist and removed Serpens's hand and said.

It would have been impossible if he had tried to hold on to it, but he graciously let go of my wrist.

Touching the wrist that has regained freedom

explained to Eugene.

"Hey, such a cruel thing !"

Eugenes could not hold back his anger and trembled. Her voice is full of anger that she couldn't hide.

Serpence seemed to remember what had happened again, so he bowed his head and grabbed his right hand with his left hand.

"Is Shion okay?"

You can't turn away forever.

Even if the villain has an accident, [Master of the Holy Sword] appears on the side of justice and takes damage.

It is not a story that solves problems before they occur.

Evil deeds end in simple happenings, and when the incident is over, it is not a children's cartoon that everyone can laugh at.

Someone dies, someone else loses a small person.

Someone must shed a tear, Lindy.

In order to reduce those tears, the world has no choice but to fight with weapons.

It is not a battle of ideologies, but a battle between those who want to protect and those who want to harm.

There is no compromise.

You don't have to get used to it...

You never said you'd get used to it, did you?

"Then, are you going to continue to suffer?"

He said with a look like he would burst into tears if he touched it again. The voice was buried deep in guilt.

I never said that.

Don't pretend it's okay.

So, pick up people and shake them

Are you Dan? Admit that it's not okay, and vomit out everything that's inside?!

Well, it's not like that...!

that it isn't. I am well aware that this is simply my enlarged interpretation.

But it's true that we provoked the devil without waiting for Humanus to bring the holy sword.

The devil must have attacked you anyway. However, we can't wait for him to come and keep vigilant, can't we?

"And?"

"He, and .

The boy clenched his hand even tighter.

No matter how much power was put into his hand, a tendon sprouted on the back of his left hand.

If it wasn't for that demon, I wouldn't have seen such a thing in front of you... If he had taken the form of a demon from the beginning... If he hadn't used a human as a shield... If I hadn't hesitated... I , I , uh !"

His voice seemed a little shaky, but he finally burst into tears.

Tears poured down her face with a face that she wanted to die.

Are you crying again?!

Ugh...!

No, I didn't mean to be patient.

Whoa... . I'm sorry. I, I'm so bad... .

That's rather what I'm talking about.

It was my fault for making him feel so insecure.

'If you are determined... , I've been doing this since the last disappearance. very bitterly

Even then, I thought I was prepared enough, but in the end, I couldn't protect him until the end.

The misery I felt at the time. Maybe even worse than that.

He's feeling it right now.

I carefully placed my hand on the back of his left hand.

"Euges. When an unavoidable battle is fought, elves don't entrust everything to the spirits, they pick up their weapons, don't they?"

Yes, yes? It is.

"Why?"

My sudden question, I was bewildered for a while

Noticing the intent of the question quickly, she cleared her breath and calmly opened her mouth.

That's because it's a fight for myself. If I ask them to kill the enemy, it should be comfortable. I don't need to train my body, and the pain of harming my life can be reduced. It's not because I'm doing it with my own hands. But it's It's a burden I have to carry, isn't it?

With a benevolent expression, Eugene

I looked at the transparent wind curtain that wrapped around me.

No, maybe there is a wind spirit in that direction, and he is looking at it.

just invisible to my eyes.

She may be looking into each other's eyes, making eye contact with a friend who has been with her for a long time.

Even though you borrow the power of the spirit, you must not forget that you are the one who raises the weapon against the enemy. To realize that the weight of life is never light. Accept the karma and

Endure it] Do it. In order not to pass it on to a dear friend. We elves carry weapons.

A soft but powerful voice resounded softly.

This is what I read in [Master of the Holy Sword]. When you hear it with your ears, the degree of touch is different.

I squeezed the crying boy's hand tightly.

I can't fight with Serpens, but I can bear that weight. Please let me do that.

"Ha, uh , but "

I prepared my mind to that extent and followed it. and . That doesn't change me.

...sh!

As if stabbed in the corner, the guy swallowed a breath full of weeping in surprise.

"I'm probably going to have a hard time every time something like this happens."

If that's the case, I'd rather...

You will not get used to it or become insensitive to the death of others. But I do not intend to be buried in suffering.

The head of the guy who had been looking down all the time was raised.

His face turned towards me.

"I have to grow up too."

,,Castle page?,,

you]. growth. It's not that the fundamentals change, it's not that you don't feel anything. You will be strong enough to persevere and overcome. I don't break down like this.

The guy hiccups without a word.

I couldn't see my expression properly because of the overflowing tears, so I blinked my eyes and let the tears flow.

So, I'm really fine. I hope Serpens will be fine as well.

"You you really "

"Isn't he handsome and handsome? I just want to call him hyung, right? I know it well. I understand."

When I said shiveringly, he made a face that didn't know whether he was crying or smiling, and then put his forehead on my shoulder.

Gomib: C.

He thanked me in a low voice.

Laughter flowed from his action, he just laughed and opened his mouth cheerfully.

Haha, thank you? I'm going to scold you from now on.

As if surprised by my words, the guy raised his head and looked at me with his round eyes.

I looked up at him confidently, wondering what to do.

No, then, did you just want to move on? Did you run away from your conscience?

"What are those eyes that say that you are sad?"

Serpens quietly lowered his eyes. That's a great reflective attitude.

"Do you even know what you did wrong?"

"O O uh "

--9 - 口 -

It's not uhm, uhm!

The boy tilted his head slightly downward.

A reddish pinna caught my eye through the bluish-silver hair.

Anxiety goes away and coolness returns

Now, it seems that he realized how shameful he was too late.

Today is just the beginning. Considering the fact that they tried to bury us altogether, all the demons we saw today must have been abandoned. Even the summoned demon's ability to be foggy could not escape the crevices of the collapsed cave. It must be because he has the ability. Well, although Serpence was slick.

Well .

"The enemies we will face in the future are getting stronger, and they are so drunk with madness, so are they willing to die?

The guys Pence faced today were the weakest of the demons, you know!

Ah, I know...

"Why did someone you know do that?"

Did I say it was forever?

Serpens had a mouth, but could not speak.

Today, Serpens said, 'Ugh, that's a surprise!' and a weak and weak guy who can do it came rushing in and it's over! What would have happened if a high-ranking executive attacked in the same situation?!

That, that...

What do you think!

You're hurt maybe?

Serpence got hurt while caring about me, or the bad bastard got slapped. Which one would be more upset to me?

''Jeon ruler?

Why did someone you know so well?!

At the insistent words, the guy raised his head and looked at me with wrinkled eyes, and he was captivated by a disgruntled sound.

I had my heart that was about to be weakened.

You shouldn't just accept a child because she's pretty. It's a shortcut to ruin a child.

Sometimes you have to be strong and learn how to point out that you are wrong.

"Never again I will never do that."

"Really? Can I trust you?"

He nodded his head hard, not paying attention to his messy hair.

Okay. Let's believe it one more time.

Thank you for trusting me. I will make sure that something like today does not happen again.

He stopped nodding his head and said with a smile of relief.

I think you know it's all over now.

But I have no intention of ending it here.

If in the first place he had only planned to finish by hitting Serpence, he would have quietly scolded him in his room after returning to the mansion.

Not this kind of mouth [in the car.] .

And what, nothing to say to Winston?

Ah...!

Serpense's hand twitched. I could feel his hand wiggle under the palm of my hand.

Winston reacted to my words as well.

When the topic suddenly turned to himself, Winston, who had been stunned, was startled and his huge body shook.
