Duke, Please Repent! chapter 249

46. The Duke and the Suspicious... (One)

I am hungry.

I felt hungry and opened my eyes.

The room was dark, but thanks to the sunlight coming in through the gap in the curtains, I could tell it was midday.

Actually, I was worried that I would suffer from nightmares the whole time I slept.

Even if I borrowed it, I can't remember what it is.

The only thing I remember was a dream of soothing the crying selfish fence.

I turned my head slightly and looked to the side, and I vaguely saw Serpens sleeping in the bed next to me.

'Isn't this the first time I woke up before him?'

This is the first time except for the occasional waking up to go to the bathroom. It's a long time to live in the world.

Fighting the devil and pouring tears, he knows a lot without knowing it

must have been tired Maybe it's because I've come back home after a long time and my tension has been relieved.

I reached for the pocket watch I had placed by my bedside.

The lid opened, and the clock hand caught in the dim vision pointed to 2:05.

I slept really well.

How was it possible to fall asleep so easily, the Serpens in front of me

I wondered if he had even written divine power to me while I was sleeping.

'I have a heart attack, but I don't have any physical evidence.

I narrowed my eyes, looked at him, put down the clock, got up and sat down.

Now the question is whether to wake him up or leave him alone... .

I want to sleep more, but it's already past lunch time. After washing and changing clothes, it's snack time.

If you miss now, you'll be there until evening

it gets worn out

'After dinner, the lunch box I vomited last night . uh... .'

For some reason, I was too hungry for a meal or two. That's three meals a day.

He had plans to lose weight, but he said that a starving diet was bad for his health.

I pulled my foot out of the duvet and placed it on the edge of the mattress on the bed where Serpence was sleeping. I bent and straightened my knees a few times and shook the bed, and the guy opened his eyes.

Ummm...

"Wake up, shower, and eat something?"

.How much more do you plan on stabbing?

Aren't you awake? It's past two in the afternoon.

Hearing my words, the boy opened his eyes and jumped up from his seat.

You don't have to rush like that, do you?

. He will come.

Serpens said with a serious expression.

That voice is so serious, Demon Lord

I thought it would show up.

However, if you think about it for a bit, you can easily realize that the person he spoke of is just a humanus.

When Humanus comes to the capital, the Duke will come to visit him, so it means that you have to finish the preparations before that.

Then why are you going into my bathroom? You're not going out the window?

can't you go out in your pajamas in broad daylight?

It is a declaration that we will wash and change clothes here.

very just varied.

* * *

As soon as he finished eating, Serpence clung to the head of his office desk, telling him that he had to write a report on dark affairs.

'Dana has to be finished before Humanus comes, what's the matter?'

I got a message from Humanus that he would come to me around five o'clock, but nowhere was it written that I should write a report.

In other words, Serpence is working by making a cut line at will.

'Why are you writing the report in the first place?'

Judging by the time of the arrival of Yeontong, Hugh Manus must have been face to face with the Emperor at Bona Mana Imperial Castle.

They're good friends, so when we meet, we'll talk about this and that. Of course, there will be conversations about what happened in the dark area.

After all, Humanus must have been talking about everything, but I don't know why he bothered to write a report and post it.

'At that time, I will think about my strengths.'

If you think of it differently, such a steady point is an advantage.

Then I came to find all the strengths he should be looking for.

" You went on a business trip for a long time, didn't you?"

Yes?

As I was watching him with displeasure, he suddenly let out a strange noise.

"Why are you writing a report now?

Were you not lamenting?"

How did you know? Are you a ghost?

"That's what you think, obviously."

Serpens didn't even look at me, teasing the pen and snoring.

A sense of defeat for an unknown cause made fun of me and ran away.

This bastard knows me so well... !'

Anyway, what he says is that what he is writing now is a report of a long absence, before a report that he had killed a demon.

I got closer and glanced at the report.

Before the demon was summoned at the racecourse, the dynamics of the dark family were written one after another.

...do you have to write something like that every time you're away?

I didn't take a vacation for personal reasons, isn't it?

uh..! Is this why everyone is running their own business or private business? You don't want to write a report?

I'm really fed up.

I'd rather write a childcare journal, but I don't want to write a report full of such atrocious content.

Sunwoo.

why?

If you're not going to work, why don't you go out and do some strength training with Sir Winston?

I haven't processed the paperwork for a while and my hands are itchy. Oh, I really want to work!

Saying that, I ran back to my seat.

Contrary to the words spoken, I really hate working.

After taking a long break from work, playing is so much fun that I want to play more. I don't have a computer or a smartphone, but playing is always new and exciting.

Even thinking about cancer, I was suited to playing.

But did I say that nothing in the world goes the way we want it to?

For the crime of being an aide, being imprisoned in a prison called the duke's house, in a prison called the office, and punished for handling paperwork.

Even today, I am a stone named after work

waiting for the room

big"! Tears cover my eyes!'

But if you don't finish the paperwork on time, Serpense's bad illness will recur.

I can't give up my habit, and I'm going to slowly stretch out my demonic beasts towards the pile of papers.

If you don't eat snacks and maintain a good life routine, you'll fall for it, and now is the time to focus on paperwork.

'And if you have to work out, you'd be better off with Serpence than with Winston.'

Winston is a ruthless hard trainer

all.

The weight loss effect killed me, but I thought it would kill me in other ways as well. I couldn't tell if I was going by train to the Duchy or to a diet camp.

'At that time, I promised myself that I would never gain weight again... .'

Humans always make the same mistakes over and over again. He shook his head, trying to shake off the memories of that time, and picked up the pen.

Neither Serpence nor Serpense opened their mouths, so only the squeaking noise filled the office.

It wasn't the fierce noise of a pen's head hitting a book and a desk hard, something you'd hear during self-study class in high school when the SAT fell on the instep.

A soft, gentle tickling sound, scraping the paper, landed in my ears.

If you are determined to focus, this is the perfect environment for concentration.

The paperwork has come to an end. It has been a long time since Serpence finished writing the report and started working on the paperwork.

Why did you rush to write the report?

Choi I don't know

圧

A knock sounded.

The current time is five o'clock. It's to announce that Humanus has arrived. Me and Serpens moved to the drawing room.

Yesterday..., no. It's past midnight, so is it today? Anyway, because I got up early, I thought he was going to participate in the advisory meeting, but he said he didn't come?

Humanus, who arrived soon after, sat down and asked a question in a tone that seemed to ask for his regards.

Oh, that's right! Advisory Council!

Yes, it was originally meant to be like that, but when I arrived in the capital and tried to write the report, I suddenly got dizzy... I contacted him saying that he would put it all together and report it tomorrow.

For me, the advisory meeting was the martial arts spectacle itself. Because of that, there

I forgot for a moment that it was a place to discuss important issues.

Of course, that's just me.

Serpens remembered it well and even sent a letter to the imperial family.

'He woke up late in the afternoon, so did he tell me to write it down before he came to my room to sleep?'

I stuck my tongue out and looked at Serpens.

But somehow, the side faucet stings. Looking around, I saw that Humanus and the group were looking at me with strange eyes.

I guess I need to keep my mouth shut.

"Has the letter not arrived?"

No, if it's a letter, it arrived well.

"Then, did your Majesty feel very uncomfortable ?"

No way!

Humanus waved his hands in embarrassment at the pitiful expression of Serpence, who was getting better and better.

No, that's not it! It wasn't like that before..., no. What does this mean?

not . I think I reported right away when I was tired before... .

It's an attack I'm aware of. There's no way Humanus, who knows nothing, has the talent to face it.

Humanus began to gibberish.

Still, it was not enough to understand what he was trying to say.

'Last year alone, as soon as the subjugation was completed, I went up to the capital, beat up the demons, and participated in the advisory council. I did everything I could.'

It was probably the case before

I will.

This time, I seem to be particularly tired... I'm sorry. I must have been living in an unfamiliar place for a long time without realizing it.

"Are you okay now?"

Seeing Serpens speaking as if he was guilty, Humanus asked worriedly.

Previously, it was a Serpence who finished her role in a tired state.

When I heard the news that such a guy voluntarily extended his holidays, I was worried about how hard it must have been for him.

seems to have been standing

You're all right now, and you've just finished writing the report for your Majesty tomorrow... .

I cried.

At Humanus' words, Serpens was unable to finish his speech, and his shoulders trembled.

He paused for a moment, like a dead electronic device. The only thing that moves is the eyelids.

After the long eyelashes went up and down a couple of times, Serpens who finished his judgment slowly blushed. That's how it happened anyway

It's playing a naive fence.

Well, that's..., umm...

What are you ashamed of? I had a really hard time at first too. I didn't cry.

It is also His Majesty the Crown Prince.

The demon bastards are the ones who killed or killed countless innocent people. You don't have to focus on them all.

"Yes, thank you for your kind words."

At Serpens' flattering remark, Humanus's nose rose without knowing that it was high in the sky.

'If you look closely, that bastard of Humanus, you mean you're arrogant in front of Serpens?'

But that doesn't mean he treats Serpence as a rival or feels inferior.

Normally, the great thing about Serpence was to buy high, and in other parts, he pretended to be good.
