Duke, Please Repent! chapter 294

52. The Duke's Interrogation (7)

Then, shouldn't we go to help right away?

"My lord has told me not to follow you, but to keep this place."

As Edna pulled the staff out and tried to get out, Winston stopped her again.

'Serpence, this bastard has done a lot of work in passing by.'

Winston said 'this is the place', but Serpens probably meant 'to protect me'.

But Edna, who did not know this, grabbed the staff tightly with a moved expression.

After knowing the truth, I'm worried that I might be swearing at Serpens.

Ah, wouldn't it be better to bring the monster from the director's office here too? You never know when you'll wake up again, and you might try to destroy the murder by taking advantage of the commotion...

Yes, I'll bring it!

Edna, who was full of motivation, ran to the director's office afterward.

after a while. She quietly laid down the old monkey and the manager, who had floated up by magic, on one side of the playroom.

Seeing the manager tied up tightly, the former director's expression looked complicated.

But isn't Eugene's enemy really strong enough to get hurt like this? Is he really okay by himself?

I don't think so. Because of Eugene-sama's wounds, I was moving cautiously, so there was a chase, but if it wasn't

Enough to shake it off.

Winston shook his head to answer my question.

Winston escorted the public and arrived here safely with the patient on his back. According to his words, there would be no great danger to Serpence.

"Then why is Euges so hurt?"

"Neither do I."

If Winston doesn't know who brought him here, who knows?

I was heading here earlier with Mr. Brandon here.

During the dungeon, Eugenes, who was injured, was chasing us.

Mr. Brandon is probably the name of the former director.

In any case, if that's the case, I don't know. I nodded to Winston as a sign of acknowledgment.

"Then, did the pursuit also end then?"

About half that.

The other half means that it was originally worn by Winston.

I don't know what expression I had when I heard him, but Winston suddenly coughed.

Kuh, Hmm! Anyway, I wanted to ask for more details, but Euges-sama passed out immediately, so I didn't hear anything either.

It's a good thing Euges didn't want to cause trouble and run away alone with the chasers on.

She must have believed that Winston would be able to avoid the pursuers and come all the way here.

Anyway, Winston did a good job.

all.

Big...

Could it be that he couldn't tolerate coming all the way here with a pursuer?

Winston looked in the direction of the front door with a complicated expression.

Serpense also said. Put safety first. If only Yujis and the blind man were evacuated and Winston stood alone, wouldn't that be a reason for a complete pay cut?

Sometimes, seniors seem to take matters too lightly.

Apparently, Winston was worried about more than a pay cut.

Did you think you'd be cut off?

"More than that, Euges what should I do? Should I just wait for Serpens to come?"

Thanks to the master, the blood has stopped, but looking at the complexion, the inner wounds seem to be considerable.

From his words, you could tell how carefully Winston moved when he got here.

'You can't do anything other than roll your feet when you see an injured person... .'

Even knowing that Serpence is coming soon, his sense of helplessness runs out.

In other fantasy novels, even wizards can quickly heal wounds.

I don't know why in this town only divine power can heal wounds.

.right mouths O1 O1 ... heh"

o ~厂 1 e you

Some children came out rubbing their eyes. I think I woke up because of the commotion.

A stranger came in the middle of the night with a gigantic sword, with a height of two meters and ragged muscles. Who wouldn't be surprised to see that?

The children covered my mouth with their hands, fearing that they might accidentally offend Winston's nerves.

Considering the recent series of events, this is an understandable reaction.

Following the '2/3 Winstone' brought by Monam, the Old Monkey brought ,3/4 Winston'. It is nothing new to say that '1/1 Winston' appeared after that.

However, fortunately, this Winston is not our enemy.

This isn't a demon, it's a whole circle.

You're the one who brought Mr. Jang here safely.

I explained, tapping Winston's chest with the back of my hand) Now, the children were relieved and lowered their hands that were covering their mouths.

After relaxing, the children who found the former director rushed into his arms.

01 Why is my unnie so hurt ?!

Wendy, who had surrendered the former director's arms to the other children, found Eugenes and asked a question.

That's what I want to know too.

That incredibly pretty oppa? You can use your divine powers!

I went to punish the bad guys who hurt this sister. They'll be here soon.

Even tigers come to me when I tell them to, and Serpens, a feline from the same family, seems to be no different.

As soon as I finished my words, the front door opened and Serpens entered.

"Serpens!!"

His expression is very urgent.

seemed

As if he didn't have time to talk, he passed me by and went straight to Eugenes. And poured divine power into her.

Serpens frowned and closed her eyes as she watched as she concentrated. We kept quiet.

The injury was more serious than I thought, and after quite a while, Serpens withdrew his hand.

For a moment, I was relieved that I can put my mind to rest. the glow disappears

Eugez's complexion, which appeared again, was still pale.

The face of Serpens who looked down at her was also white.

Serpens. Is something wrong? Your complexion is so bad?!

There was no way he could have neglected Eugene's treatment. despite knowing that. Without realizing it, I grabbed his arm and asked a question.

Serpens gently patted the back of my hand that was holding his arm.

He also thought that he wanted to hold onto someone and question the current situation.

peel?

Serpens made a face that he understood my actions.

Life is not affected, and the treatment is over.

"But why Oh, I bled so much?!"

Ummm... It seems that something has gone wrong with her 'spirit' rather than her own problem.

Then what should I do? Have Eugene summon the spirits, so Serpens heals the spirits?

"It's a groundbreaking idea, but it's impossible.

all.

Even as he calmed me down, he answered firmly. I mean, it's really impossible.

According to the records, it's usually said that in this case, it gets better with rest... but I guess I'll have to ask Eugenes himself after waking up.

Contrary to what he said, he seemed uneasy, Serpens poured his divine power into Eugenes once again.

Eugene's expression seemed to have softened a bit.

"How are the pursuers?"

I'm fine now.

Serpence answered my question a beat late.

That's a pretty sensible word. Since no one has ever been captured alive, they were either killed or expelled. either one

Neither of them has any intention of blaming him.

Euges needs to rest, so it's better to move him to a quiet room. And...

Serpens looked at the old monkey crumpled in the corner of the playroom. Those eyes are very ugly

I must destroy the author's magic.

Aren't you angering yourself?

Since you don't know when there will be another attack, I just thought that it would be better to suppress the enemy inside. Also, it consumed a lot of divine power... and it seems difficult to keep monitoring...

He must have thought that the timing was cunning. Serpence made excuses here and there.

However, in order to maintain the image of the external fence, we are determined to make an effort even though it is difficult.

did not postpone justice.

His face looked very tired.

Eugenes was injured, and Serpens consumed a lot of divine power. Even Winston didn't show it, but he must have been very tired.

Edna still looks fine, but he had to work hard to defend this place.

Drawing a magic circle requires concentration, so it is difficult to monitor even the demons.

I understand the situation.

but .

Are you okay?

That level of divine power remained.

I'm not asking if I have the energy to break the skein of magic, it's a bit that's right.

No. It's fine. It's late at night, so go ahead and sleep.

Serpens said as he pulled my hand away from his arm.

Ordinarily, it was the acting of an external fence, or it was just to reassure me. I would have made you smile, even if it was hard.

He doesn't seem to know what to look like. He had a confused face.

'Is this guy really okay?'

To the question posed by the reason in his head, he answered that it was not the emotion in his heart.

Lee Sung also agreed with the emotional response.

It wasn't even two years ago that he started to value someone.

Before meeting me, Serpens did not learn the true meaning of the word 'precious.'

How was he when he treated me, the first person he opened his heart to?

Will it fly if I blow it, or will it explode if I hold it?

The only thing that could be said to have been injured is the bruise he suffered from rolling down the floor on Semita Street.

so that.

This is the first time for Serpens that someone important has been seriously injured. Moreover, it is an injury that cannot be healed immediately by divine power.

How hard and painful it must be for a guy who is not good at emotions. for me

can't be guessed

Good job Sir Winston. We'll hear more about it tomorrow, so it's best to take a break today.

Thank you for your consideration.

Unlike what Serpens had told me to grow up, he told Winston to rest and glanced at Eugenes and I.

It means to protect me and Euges. I don't know where the care is.

Serpens. That , look at me after work.

I'll see you tomorrow morning.

No, come right away. I won't sleep, so I'll wait.

. all right.,,

After answering the question, the guy grabbed the old monkey and ran into the director's room as if he was running away.

"Did you say Mr. Brandon? Do you know how to take care of the baby?"

Oh, I know.

Please take care of it. And put these children to sleep... I know you're tired from coming from a long way, but I'd like to ask you a favor.

I handed over the baby I was holding to the former director.

While taking care of the baby, there is no spirit to soothe the serpens who will come after torturing others.

and , Edna 从]. Do you have any vacancies for Eugene and Winston?"

You can use my room and Austin's bedroom.

Edna seems to be planning to spend the night here.

It is better to leave the bed here so that you can close your eyes even for a moment.

I made Winston hold Eugenes and then follow him.

Edna's room was on the first floor, just like mine, but the director's room was on the second floor.

Winston laid Eugenes down on Edna's bed. Then, instead of going up the stairs, he stopped proudly in the middle of the hallway on the first floor.

If it's a Serpence, it's possible to threaten it by saying, 'I won't eat,' I won't sleep.

Even if I said that, Winston wouldn't raise an eyebrow. uh

No matter how hard I send it to the bedroom, it is clear that if I enter the room, it will sneak out.

"Why don't you go to a restaurant and bring a chair and sit down?"

"If you are comfortable, you will sleep well."

It means that I am not comfortable just standing there.

In the end, I couldn't break Winston's persistence.
