Duke, Please Repent! chapter 246

45. How to discipline the Duke (2)

sorry.

Serpens bowed his head to Winston and apologized in a sullen voice.

Winston didn't know what to do at the master's apology, so he quickly waved his hand.

"It's okay, 匸卜. I'm Senior or Wee Lydia ."

Yujisuyo.

I knew right away that I was not trusted compared to Yuji-sama.

As soon as Euges applied for a correction of the title, it was reflected.

Winston, while correcting his words, looked trembling. It is questionable whether that is a major problem now.

Either way, Eugenes was very satisfied.

If you knew, why didn't you ask anything?

Serpens raised his head gently and asked Winston a question.

Knowing that you are not being trusted, why have you been following me silently? I'm asking for it.

To be honest...

At the auction house, in a calm voice, Gee, who showed his ambition to win the trust of the master by proving himself,

Now he hesitated and blurted out the end of his speech.

Serpense's eyes were like, 'That's right.' As if to say, when it sinks coldly.

" I was afraid."

Winston's mouth opened.

My lord is strong enough to not even dare to attack me, so I was afraid he would get an answer that he didn't need me. So I was afraid that he would throw me away.

Knight Winston revealed his weakness.

His face, speaking of his own weakness, seemed stronger and stronger than anyone else.

Facial expression, not appearance. the emotions in it.

It was like that in the past, but I think it's like saying not now.

I'm not... the great man Sir Redford knows.

On the contrary, Serpens, who was called strong by Winston, showed weakness.

It is not Sir Redford who should be thrown out for not being worthy, but it is me. Contrary to popular belief, I have neither a noble will nor a strong heart.

do . Without mental strength, it will only cause a situation like today.

Thanks to Winston first acknowledging and revealing his weaknesses. Because I had already seen all the things I couldn't see before crying and screaming.

Serpens said as if despondent.

I'm not sure. What I can do and who I can be responsible for.''

The boy vomited out his words as if he was sighing with an attitude of not being confident.

As for self-esteem, I washed my eyes and looked for it, but I couldn't find it, and I was filled with only a sense of self-doubt.

As the demon said, I had no intention of accepting the Lord as my vassal. However, the reason is slightly different. Unsure of himself and unstable. I wanted to serve Zion, not someone like me.

At Serpence's words, Euges looked at me:

Mouth clenched, but I wasn't familiar with serpents, but lip reading. Still, I roughly hit it with my eyes

If you do, you will be asked if that statement is true.

I smiled bitterly and nodded my head.

I don't deserve anyone's respect.

I cannot agree with that.

Winston stopped Serpence, who was running on the edge of self-deprecation.

Your sword deserves respect. Not only me, but everyone who wields the sword is of the same mind. The master said that he was weak in spirit, but that also doesn't make sense.

all.

"It doesn't make sense what do you mean?"

According to the creed of knights handed down from ancient times, it is said that learning a sword is training the mind and body.

". Are you claiming that my mental strength is also strong because of my strength?"

Serpens said in a sarcastic tone.

Rather than criticize Winston.

He just rides on a mighty divine power

I'm just tired. Unlike others who have built up their strength step by step through hard work, it was a disparaging word for themselves.

I don't mean that. So... how to put it into words...

Winston, who hadtily waved his hand to deny Serpence's words, blurted out the end of his words.

I scratched the back of my head as if worried.

"Your master often looked at my sword]- He gave it to me. Each time I felt it. He was truly a wonderful person . That perfect posture that doesn't show any flaws or anything like that.

Oh, and the clean trajectory of the sword being swung... . And point out where my sword went wrong, and even suggest ways to improve it... .

I'm sorry, but I don't know what you're trying to say.

Serpens interrupted Winston's gibberish.

"I just wanted to say that the master's swordsmanship showed traces of a lot of effort. I felt that it was the result of countless trials and errors. Is it a state that I built up while thinking....

As a bearer, how can you not respect such a person?"

It's just that I've been driven by the responsibilities I've been forced to bear.

That's why I respect you even more. How can you say that someone who has achieved this level through repeated efforts to fulfill an undesirable responsibility is weak?

I don't know how to express it, but I'm good at talking.

Saying that you don't have a horse is just an excuse.

Actually, I don't want to convey my meaning

I thought it was because the sound was not earnest.

They do not make any effort to convey their own words, but are selfish in wanting others to recognize their thoughts.

It is an act of passing the responsibility on to the other person, saying that you were bad for not understanding me and not understanding me because of my lack of words.

'The more you do something, the better it gets, and it's the same with words.'

If you are really desperate.

Countless times, I think, ponder,

ripped and trimmed. Will I be able to convey my intentions to the other person somehow?

If the knowledge you have is not enough, you will develop your expressive power by reading a book or rummaging through a dictionary.

If your mouth doesn't go away despite your earnestness, before blaming yourself for not being able to talk].

You should question whether you are keeping your mouth shut in order to avoid responsibility because you are afraid of the consequences of speaking up.

"If the lord was really weak, he would have given up such responsibility and ran away.

will. But the lord didn't do that.

That's because I can't do anything except what I learned

Because I don't even know... .

Countless . There will be no choice. I don't have it... . It has to be

Is this what ingrained self-hatred is?

If I could just say, 'I'm so amazing!', I would feel more confident and at ease. I feel sorry for the guy who inevitably denies it and suffers from it.

Winston, who could not have imagined that Serpens would react like this, said with a bewildered face that he did not know where to put himself.

"But not now, is it?"

I patted the back of his hand softly and spoke to him, and he looked at me.

"The work of the dark house has been prepared for a long time, and it's a work within the Empire, so let's say it is. But Serpens continued, 'You've been thinking about what's going to happen. You said you didn't know.

Yes it was.

"Now that I know how to rest, I know what's more fun than work, and I know the joy of eating good food. Like others did to Serpens, I didn't leave all the responsibility on the master of the Holy Sword. I could have enjoyed it all and wondered, but I didn't.

that .

Serpens hesitated and pursed her lips.

"Serpens, do you know that?"

" what do you mean?"

"Choice Day. If people criticize Serpense for not receiving the Holy Sword, and you have a hard time because of it. Serpense's power is excellent, and knowing that this world needs it. I thought of running away together. .

...what?

He asked my surprise confession as if he couldn't believe it.

Mouths wide open and eyes wide open. And his confused eyes showed how surprised he was without filtering.

It seems that Eugene and Winston were a bit surprised, but let's move on.

Hey, didn't you say that?

You want to protect the continent? And thanks to Humanus sacrificing it, the public opinion wasn't bad either.

Uh, um... it was.''

You], it was a very noble sacrifice.

"It's not , it's not."

As I looked at the distant mountain through the window and spoke vaguely, he let out a deep sigh as if he wanted to stop talking about it.

"Stop talking about that . What does running away mean, please explain that first."

Literally? I was going to play and eat for the rest of my life in disguise and frolicking in a deserted town. I also took a peek at Ladrava's legacy along the way.

Perhaps I forgot what to say to my dazzling plan, Serpens said, 'Huh... .'

Shion, is it okay to be a messenger of the gods?

You], I will. serpent woo

Giving up is my main job. I haven't been told to do it myself. Originally, the oracle would give you a lot of rolls, so wouldn't it be a proof that you should put it together to suit your taste?"

Is that really okay?

sure!

Having learned the truth of the oracle, Eugene had a puzzled expression on his face.

Conversely, Serpence, who had lost his mind for a while, regained his consciousness with an expression on his face saying, 'Sunwoo is talking nonsense again.'

"Stop talking nonsense, why are you talking about that now?"

I just want to say that the serpens seem stronger than I thought.

"Every day you treat me like a child ?"

At Serpence's response, Winston opened his mouth and said, 'Ah... .' and let out an exclamation that did not know whether it was lamentation or admiration.

The way he nodded his head was a reaction as if an old question had been solved.

"It's different from that. Even at a young age, the wick can harden, and vice versa.

it's good the young and the fragile and the weak. It is not synonymous. Are you there sometimes? A child comforts an adult. People who are weak-minded and cannot say harsh words to others, but do not tolerate injustice when faced with injustice. Can you really say that such a person is weak?

" I am not that kind of person."

Yes, yes. Let's say yes. For now, I'm just giving an example.

"Don't you think that the conversation keeps going in vain?"

How long will that serpens be

Are you going to continue to humiliate yourself?"

The boy pursed his lips in dissatisfaction.

To come out like that is to protest that it is too shameful.

So, now that you have the option of running away, what do you think? Do you want to give up all your responsibilities and what is and run away in search of freedom? Or are you going to keep trying? !"

You, really.

Serpens let out a long breath

all.

Then he lowered his head as if in thought and took a quiet breath. His back went up and down a little with each inhalation and exhalation.

Not long after, he raised his head.

I... now want this life to go on.

Look at it.
