Duke, Please Repent! chapter 259

48. The past relationship with the Duke (2)

So, who is that person? I'm kind of familiar with it too...

Eugene raised his hand and asked Serpens a question.

He is the second prince of the Bastul Kingdom.

Oh, so you're familiar! The eyes seem a little more lively, but they look a lot like King Bastul's youth.

Euges nodded his head as if he understood Serpense's answer and said.

It's something I can't empathize with because I've never seen King Bastul's present, let alone his youth.

Still, through [Master of the Holy Sword], I know roughly what kind of person King Bastul is.

He's a cowardly and ignorant person who can't even say he's a hater.

It is a great blessing to have such a person that, although similar in appearance, has different personalities.

Even the character of the king of Bastul was taken out

Unlike the 1st Prince, the 2nd Prince's Veil Barstul was also portrayed with justice in [Master of the Holy Sword].

'Even though I fell for the scheme of the Corruption Fence and made the mistake of truly believing in the minions of the evil forces... .'

It's not Bale's fault. It was a rebellion that could not have been successful without their help in the first place.

If this was an era of peace, or if I had not played in the hands of evil spirits and had doubted my surroundings.

Veil could have been a saint enough.

But from the beginning, through the process, to the end. All were engulfed in misfortune.

By the cup of poison handed to him by the person he trusted the most, the person who helped him the most to become a king, and who he personally appointed as prime minister.

He ended his life.

'It's a bit bittersweet even thinking about it now.'

a little then. Really, really, really thin! I cursed Tar Rockpence, but I'll keep it a secret from Serpence.

If he finds out about this, he will definitely be in the sea of clouds.

All of my thoughts have been put together, and now is the time to think about it.

"Is he the one who came and went?!"

Serpens nodded calmly at my question.

Eugene and Winston looked at each other, wondering what the problem was. The two don't know the [Master of the Holy Sword], so it's natural for them to react like that.

So, Serpens shouldn't be like that.

If it's the 2nd Prince of Barstul, it's him!

Serpens, who easily inferred what the person I was talking about, nodded again. It's not that I didn't eat it, it means that I just sent it knowingly.

I can't understand.

'If you happen to meet the main character of the original story on the road, isn't it common sense that you should make a relationship and become close?'

At the same time, I came to you alone with my feet saying, 'Catch me.

"I revealed that the serpenes are serpenses, and I said that I would go to the kingdom of Prune to save people, and I asked him to go with me.

Was it good?"

Isn't it possible for a prince of a country to wander around alone in a foreign country? There was a sign that trained knights were approaching him. Perhaps his escort.

I don't know if Bale was alone. It means that he felt that someone was coming and pretended not to know.

Then, we just had to make a relationship first and make a promise for the next one. Come visit us later, or we'll find you. It would have been nice if we had created an opportunity to meet naturally...

He doesn't know, but the people around him believe

can't.

"So, it would have been nice to warn you about that, right?"

"On what basis?"

Uh...

I was speechless. Serpens was right.

If you followed him to save a gnawed person, he was the Duke of the Empire and his party, and he was told to be careful of those around him.

Who the hell would believe that?

"Did another revelation come down?"

Yes? Oh, yes. What is it?

I nodded in response to Eugene's words.

I closed my eyes for a moment, but Serpence opened his mouth again, as if he didn't finish what he had to say.

Moreover, the situation is different now. The future you see is what will happen when the empire is destroyed.'

Yeah?! Empire is going to fall?

Eugene couldn't help but shout in shock. Winston looked confused.

all.

As Serpens said, his remarks really caused confusion.

"The Empire is in danger, so can we go abroad?!"

Even though it wasn't his country's business, Eugese asked, terrified.

That means that the Holy Lumen Empire has a great influence on the survival of the continent.

According to Zion's vision of the future, the greatest cause of the ruin of the empire lies within.

As a result, the balance was broken, and small and medium aristocrats, who had not been able to raise their spirits, intervened in the place where the great nobles were missing.

It means it's fine now.

The Duke of Argento is currently guarded by members of the imperial family. The Duke of Argento has a history, so he will be more vigilant of demon worshipers than anyone else to avoid suspicion.

It is no surprise that the Duke of Argento was under surveillance. That was cheap enough.

Also, as long as the Crown Prince is the master of the Holy Sword, the Imperial Family will not abandon the continent.

Apart from the fact that Humanus is the master of the Holy Sword, I think we should focus on the 'Holy Empire'.

Anyway, since the imperial family and the duke's family are maintaining their authority, the nobles under their control will not be able to do anything stupid.

The Prasidus family will be protected by Eilich. No problem.

'After all, is this why I have to make peace at home before working outside?'

However, it is questionable why we have to talk like this in a back alley.

This is all because of the intrusion of Veil.

I'm glad that's the case. But what exactly was the future Zion saw?

When the empire fell, King Bastul rejected the master of the holy sword, and the 2nd prince who supported the master of the holy sword succeeded in rebellion.

It was about ascending to the throne and dying at the hands of a servant who worships the devil.

At Serpence's key summary, Eugenes was at a loss for words.

Winston frowned and looked uncomfortable, probably because of the words 'You will die at the hands of a servant' at the end.

He now has enemies in the Holy Lumen Empire, but he was originally a knight from the Kingdom of Bastul. I'll just have to worry about it anyway.

As Zion said, it's good to warn you in advance, but I don't think you'll believe that your family will betray the continent and those you trust will betray you.

Saying now is not the time

Whether the demon has contacted the servant or not yet. Even that is unclear. Although King Bastul's shoots are yellow, he hasn't caused any problems yet.

As the Empire is in good health, there is a possibility that they will not turn their backs on them.

Still, I wouldn't know if we hadn't met at all.

Uh-huh... Okay, if you have time later, can't you just stop by the Bastul Kingdom?

"Really? When?"

"What if the Volta Mountains matter?"

It meant that I had no plans to stop during this trip.

"Is the story about the second prince of Bastul over now?"

Yes? What, for now?

"Then I ask you, why did you drag me into this alley?"

I forgot the matter for a moment because of the identity of the ultramarine-haired young man.

Thanks to Serpens' words, I was able to recall my original purpose.

I have an amazing way to deal with Serpence's worries! This way, no one will even notice if Serpence is free to show his face!

"Is there such a way?"

How can you be anxious?

Unlike Eugene, who showed interest, Serpence showed a blunt reaction. But if he hears my brilliant idea, he will change his mind.

I'm digging through my subspace pockets, Soleil

He took out a special order for Serpence Scroll from Letia.

You can use this.

"What kind of scroll is that?"

Try it first. You'll find out if you use it.

Serpence could not erase his doubts, and he opened the scroll I handed him and began to examine the contents carefully.

He said he was not suspicious of such a serpent! Winston doesn't seem to know how to see people.

I grabbed Serpens' both hands and tore the scroll. on scroll

A blue light bursts out from there and stays in Serpence's ear before disappearing.

While he groped his ears, I pulled out a mirror.

It's a illusion magic that lasts for a week without any interference! It would have been nice to be able to change the shape itself, but if it works inside the body, it would be intrusive to the operation of divine power, so I replaced it with a illusion magic.

"Isn't that a good way to have long ears like an elf?"

Serpens looking in the mirror is absurd

As if to do, he burst out laughing.

"I was a little worried because we met five years ago, but if it were this, you wouldn't be able to recognize it. Anyone who sees Serpens's face would think he's an elf?"

I've reconsidered several times, but this will work. it goes unconditionally

What the hell are you...

It doesn't matter if the 2nd Prince remembers Serpens's face. It's a Manryu-gwi servant, isn't it supposed to be unified into one when anything reaches its peak? It's just the perfect golden ratio.

I'll go ahead and think that it looks similar!

It's not like that, is it?

Serpens looked at me with crazy eyes. To some extent, self-awareness that he is handsome has begun to arise, but it seems that he is still lacking.

I looked at him with a sad expression on his face.

No, really?!

dog sound.

I guess he doesn't believe me.

What do you do if you get sick? Elf

If you think it's because you don't want to attract attention, you'd think it's the other way around. They'd think it was a scammer trying to take advantage of the fact that elves don't lie.

Now, all you have to do is change your hair color to green like an elf. No one will know.

Were you listening to me?"

Serpens rubbed his forehead and sighed.

If he keeps appearing like this, he has no choice but to cancel his advantage number 1 and have him carry out the penalty. the guy

Why don't you know?

What if I don't find out?"

"Isn't it natural to be caught?"

Okay, I bet! If no one notices or suspects that Serpence is a fake elf today, you're going to call me bro until I go back to the duke's manor?

Why do I have to accept such a bet?

Instead, Serpense can do something for me too!

Perhaps it was an appealing story, and he had a hesitant expression on his face.

It's like taking advantage of his low self-esteem, but this isn't cowardly. It is an education to increase self-esteem.

After today, Serpens will come to realize that his face and that of the elf that everyone admires are on the same line.

"If I tell you to be quiet".

Shut up until you say it's okay to say it again? Well, that's fine. The deadline is the same until we get back to the duke's house, right?

Serpens smiled satisfied

nodded.

Foolishly, he had to accept a match he was sure to lose.

I'll win anyway, but it's not bad to let me dream for a while.

Serpens used the divine power to remove the effect of the existing dyeing reagent and dyed the hair a fresh mint color.

Serpence looks better with this bright color than the dull color.

I don't know if I'm good at it now.

Serpens with a hood rolled up in mint color

He muttered while flicking his dyed hair.

It seems like he doesn't like it, but seeing that he has accepted my qi, it seems he wanted to shut my mouth.

''It's fine, I won't get caught.

Seeing Eugenes talking lively, Serpens had an expression on his face as if saying, 'That's not okay as it is.'

Winston, tell me something.

Uh, um... Master, you get along well.

Did you hear Serpence? Winston is empty.

I can't speak like that. You know?.

The bet hadn't even started yet, but Serpence was already looking at me with a face that wanted to shut my mouth.

then . In the eyes of Sir Winston, what do you think of Sion's actions in purchasing such an expensive scroll with the duke's money?"

I think it's embezzlement.

Winston answered without any hesitation.

Serpens looked like he was asking, 'Did you hear me too?' I feel like I gave it back and got it back with words.

Why don't you buy a scroll for Serpence with Serpence's money?! Why is this embezzlement? It's a proxy purchase. Isn't it?

You didn't have my permission.

Whenever there is a scroll you need, you can buy it as much as you want!

I didn't say that.

However, as if he had no intention of charging the scroll price, he quickly turned around and ran out of the alley.

There is no time to be like this to find a craftsman you like. Let's stop chatting now, let's tour the forge
