Duke, Please Repent! chapter 251

46. The Duke and the Suspicious... (3)

'It's definitely winning.'

Perhaps, the King's summoning of Humanus was just a butterfly effect.

The secret slave trade was abolished and the arena was closed.

As a result, the evil forces, whose sacrifices were not readily available, took the people of the principality.

may have been kidnapped.

If the king finds traces of a demon while investigating the case, it is natural to report it to the owner of the holy sword.

' If you think positively.'

However.

In other words, that the future can be changed means that our side can be turned into the other side.

Serpens and Winston, who should have joined the evil forces to be honest, were also on the side of the continent.

Can you watch Humanus' back till the end?

With that in mind, Winston was also loyal to the evil forces until the very end.

There is no guarantee that the opposite will not happen.

'If the evil forces really ate the principality . Isn't that too much?'

I only stole two individuals, but it is too disgraceful to steal an entire country.

Even though Serpence was a staff equipped with force! I even ate the final boss! And the Black Knight Winston was also an executive!

Still, Serpens is the back of the devil's head.

, and Winston was only a pattern executive!

I'm aware of that. But the damage could be even greater, can't we just leave it alone? If even one demon is summoned, the power of the Principality won't be able to handle it.

Your Majesty is not against going to the Principality itself. How can you let it go after you hear that there are victims?

The conversation between Edo Humanus and Serpens continued while I tinkered inside.

Of course, the acting of the smoke fence continued.

It's just that there is a part that takes a little bit...

As if worried about whether Serpens could say something like this, he hesitated with a hesitant expression on his face.

"What part?"

I heard information that the Principality of Fold is secretly raising troops.

What?! Where did that information come from?

Humanus interrupted Serpens and asked a question urgently.

In response to that reaction, Serpens pretended to be hesitant and slowly opened his mouth. It's obvious what the answer will be.

It is Illuminati

The words that came out of the Illuminati chief's mouth were 匸下. That's not entirely wrong.

"Where did the Illuminati get that information?"

I'm only a spokesperson to the end... In fact, I've only heard this information as a way of knowing.

But, I'm telling you this out of frustration.

Serpens, who had the title of aide to the Illuminati chief, said with a gloomy expression on his face.

Of course, secretly raising an army does not convince them that they are turning their backs on the Empire or partnering with the demon worshipers. It may just be the timing of the envy, so they may have prepared it for self-restraint.

Serpens added a voice like, "I believe that goodness resides in the hearts of the people of the world."

all.

His green eyes twinkled with faith and hope. Of course it was smoke.

Still, if the information is genuine, I doubt it.

Humanus said with a squeaky sound as if he had a headache.

Seeing this, Serpens made up a bitter smile.

In fact, Serpence is just suspicious as always, with the mindset to be as careful as possible.

An ordinary fence of doubt

all.

But, is it because he knows the track record of his diligent work in [Master of the Holy Sword]?

It felt like I was being ripped off somehow.

Furor, what do you think it sounds like?

Well... it doesn't sound like you're talking about the peacock's absence, but somehow the back of the head is tickling.

To Humanus' question, Furor scratched the back of his head and answered.

Humanu, who seemed to be asleep for a moment

He looked back at Serpens again.

Sepie, when did you hear about that?"

It's been awhile since I've heard it.

"Did you tell your father?"

Since there is no solid evidence yet, I thought it might cause conflict for nothing...

When asked if he had reported to the emperor, Serpence bowed his head as if he had no regard for it.

I must have been investigating by myself again. Three blood, you're all good, do anything alone

It's a matter of trying to resolve it.

"That's I'm sorry."

"Hey, there's no need to be so gloomy ?"

Seeing Serpens with a sad kitten-like expression, Humanus was greatly perplexed.

Anyone who sees a face like that would have no choice but to react like that. It's about empathizing beyond understanding.

But the problem is that Serpens also showed a look of embarrassment.

It didn't show as big as Humanus, but the corners of my eyes trembled very slightly.

all.

In his eyes, he said, 'I had no intention of doing anything like this against Humanus... ?' I could sense the question.

'You, this child, this... ! Is it a habit?'

Every time I scolded him, he avoided nagging with a crying expression like that. I think this is called karma.

You can't take the face you've already made.

Serpence continued to maintain a puzzled expression.

"Mi, I'm sorry. I think I was talking too much. I didn't mean to say anything, just... , I'm sorry!

"No. Even so, Lord Zion received a lot of criticism like that, so I was trying to fix it."

Strange glances caught my eye, who was a leisurely spectator.

Suddenly, he became an aide who pointed out the duke. Even if it's true, there's no room to refute it.

"No, what the duke is the type that works a lot, isn't it?"

Did I say too much?

Serpens sitting next to him tapped his feet and warned him not to speak as soon as it came out.

Then, when we report on Amhok's work, we will also report on this matter as well.

Before Humanus could open his mouth to respond to my words, Serpens brought back a topic that had been off the hook for a while.

No. I'll tell you later on the way back to the Imperial Palace, well. And I'll investigate the Principality's army as well.

Yes ?

While we are investigating the demon worshipers in the Principality, let's find out together, huh? Or would you like to go with Sepy too?

Ummm... no.

Serpens pretended to be in serious trouble at Humanus' suggestion, shaking his head flutteringly.

In the first place, the results of the investigation are not important.

It was before I came to this world that I started raising the military in the Duchy of Fold. The military is definitely there.

Still, there is no reason why Serpens brought up this story. I just don't trust Hugh Manus.

I wonder if Humanus will get hit in the back of the head if he goes to Chile. So, fear of losing the master of the holy sword, which is the main force1.

It's to make him aware.

"I have work to do."

Serpens, who had just been told not to try to solve the problem alone, spoke up again.

The word really disgusting comes out of nowhere

come.

Humanus also made an expression of what the hell was going on.

I'm going to visit the tower.

Matop?!

Anima, who had been bruised, reacted promptly to the word Matop that came out of Serpens's mouth.

actually . I've heard from the Illuminati that U]ma worshipers are trying to target Fruito-san's loved ones.

Another Illuminati?

Humanus asked with a suspicious expression.

The anima referred to may have thought of 'sister' in her head, and her complexion turned white, and she hesitated.

Even if there is no warning from the Illuminati, check it out] It's something you should check. I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen Mr. Pruitto, so I can tell that Mr. Pruito is overly dependent on a specific person. . The demon worshipers couldn't have gone unnoticed.

Serpence casts in-laws.

It was pointed out that if a loved one was taken hostage, the Anima would be swayed by the demon's words.

"Somehow, to a letter saying that he would come alone, he replied that he should bring his colleagues as well .

Yes. Right now, only Pruito-san's people are targeted, but I don't know what will happen in the future.

It was a warning to everyone to be careful in advance.

At Serpens' words, Humanus looked around his companions.

If it's my father, it'll be fine. I'm not the type of person to be rocked, and I'm always with the members. Don't be brave and just send me a message telling me to avoid dangerous requests, and I'll take care of myself.

Furor's words were full of faith and pride toward his father, the Mercenary King.

Liena's precious people must be the temple family of the branch where she was, so there was no need to worry.

I avoided it if the demon worshipers avoided it, there's no way I'd sneak around the temple.

Instead of opening her mouth and saying something, Liena looked at Anima with a pitiful gaze.

That place called Illuminity...is it really reliable? It's a bit suspicious! How do you know so well about information that no one knows about, and when you have such information, why don't you go out on your own? Why are you asking someone else?! I can't even see my nose!

Anima, who had been showing signs of nervousness, could not bear it and vomited anxiety.

That's a reasonable doubt.

But the Illuminati were always on their own. They are just hiding their identity.

Moreover, the group 匸下 is headed by someone who runs around suspiciously. Suspicious things are unavoidable.

I understand that you are vigilant. You are so precious that you have no choice but to do so. I think that's why the Illuminati are saying this instead of solving the problem themselves.

Wouldn't it be better for you to check yourself than to leave it in the hands of others?

is the question

I'm really thinking like myself.

However, the anima is no different in that she is a genius with extraordinary abilities. She couldn't deny Serpence's words and bit her lip.

"But you can't go."

Anima chewed her lip and said melancholy.

As a companion of the Holy Sword, he must follow Humanus to the Principality.

Leaving him alone, he could not leave for the Kingdom of Prune where the tower was located. Information about the dire situation in the Principality

Even more now that I heard it.

' If it hadn't been for the promise I made with my older sister before I left, I would have abandoned all of them and headed for the tower.'

Anima's older sister may have foreseen it.

She said that she should not abandon the owner of the Holy Sword because of her, and repeatedly emphasized to the anima so that she would not run away to her.

Anima had to promise to stand by the master of the Holy Sword and help until all was done.

"That , I'm sorry too. I didn't know that the Principality would send such a request."

Ugh...

Serpens had a troubled expression on her face, and Anima had a face that looked like she was about to cry.
