Duke, Please Repent! chapter 11

3. Train travel with the Duke (3)

Sin, I'm sorry.

I also have my own excuses.

Serpence is a person who can do his job well enough without an assistant. And considering the precedent of the former aide, I tend to not touch my work as much as possible .

Yes, these are all just excuses.'

If you're in a position to work for money, don't be like this.

it's gonna be

It's because you know that if you leave work after killing enough time, the Kaltoe Fairy will take care of it for you.

It's so comfortable and I'm used to it, so stop... .

It's fine, just be careful in the future.

Serpens had a characteristic benevolent smile.

Heck, I was really touched this time.

"Gee, can I do it now?"

It's fine now.

was immediately rejected. The sound of pens creaking and paper flipping echoed through the room.

I've just been pointed out as a joke.

In this situation, my boss is working hard right in front of my eyes, but trying to stay still alone seems to be weighing down on me with a sense of guilt.

As I was rummaging through my suitcase because I felt like I had to do something, I saw a paper envelope.

Oops, cookies! I brought you some, would you like some?

I asked Popina last night, and I got it from Mary at lunch today.

I've been wondering about that too. Why do you keep trying to feed me something?

Yeah? Oh, no. It's just eating alone. Why?

I've been wondering since a while ago, my dear, why are you setting the day like this?

I'm really fine, so you can eat alone from now on.

Why, why! Why? Maybe it's because I've been so naughty?

how hard i tried!

Yesterday alone, you ate three macarons, huh? We had a good mood, right?

'I've prepared cookies, but why can't I eat them!'

Somehow I was lucky... . Somehow I thought it was too smooth... .

I don't understand why you're angry.

I'm not angry. It's not .

not?

Oh, I got so excited. Let's calm down and think. Now what?

Even in the midst of thinking like this, Serpens is looking at me, fixing the spilled glasses.

It's just that, watching the duke, he doesn't have any hobbies...

Aren't you?

I've heard that you don't have any interests...

Come in?

Do you know how to follow the ending?

This means listening to the other person and

To let you know that you are responding.

And I'm happy to see you talking because you're so cute and lovable~' To give off a nuance like that, I repeat the last word of the other person's words.

'It is also known as a technique to seduce the opposite sex, but... .'

However, the biggest problem with this method of speaking is that if used incorrectly, the other person feels very pressured.

Depending on the situation, it is also used for purposes such as sarcasm or ridicule.

In fact, when I go to a pressure interview, I intentionally use this kind of speech.

Duke?

Yes, tell me.

Serpence still had the usual gentle smile.

Even on the first day of work, I was the one who was so wary and afraid].

But is it because I've been seeing Serpence flurry lately for one more snack?

Unknowingly, I was distracted. interest

Chick was also a dark-hearted guy.

' Are you really scared today?'

I was nervous, so my neck was burning tight.

But in this situation, you can't even call the staff and ask them to bring you water. I only swallowed dry saliva.

It's been a while since I've seen that expression. You looked at me like that on the first day you went to work...

Well, that's...

Serpens leaned forward, put her elbows on the table and clasped her hands,

He took a pose with his chin resting on it.

Then he opens his mouth with a troubled expression.

"Are you still afraid of me?"

Yeah, it's only natural that subordinates are afraid of their superiors... isn't it normal?

I forgot.

Originally, the main specialty of Serpence was to dazzle the opponent with an angelic face, to distract them, and then to take advantage of the gap.

The 'normal' that Lord Rivelon is talking about doesn't seem like it's really normal.

Yes?

You didn't tell me that before, Lord Ribelon.

I . I don't know what you're talking about.

What did I say to Serpens? It's faint as if I remember it.

It's like it's not normal for each other. Let's talk comfortably now.

reminded me

On the second day at work, I said to Serpens, 'I usually don't do this.'

is a story of the kind.

I misunderstood that Serpens had a strange taste for me... .

'Oh .'

I just realized

Serpense understood the point of my words then, but pretended to have misunderstood and passed the situation.

I, it looks like you have a lot of paperwork to go through...

"No, as Lord Ribelon said, shouldn't I also have to rest sometimes?"

Serpens smiled brightly.

It's a long-awaited train trip, so let's have a relaxed conversation.

I said two days, but to be exact, I had to spend 50 hours on this train.

49 hours left.

I know that Sir Rivellon asks about me. He seems to be very interested in me. That's why, I'm also curious about Sir Rivellon.

Oh, no! I'm not the Duke's direct interest!

Serpens let out a small laugh. He wiggled his eyelashes and smiled.

No, Sir Ribelon. You are very interesting. So please don't say such sad things.

Crazy deja vu!!

Why today? No, it's not like I'm suddenly doing this today. Could it be that you were aiming for today from the beginning?

"Aren't you doing that today?' Yes,

I thought it was the right time to say, 'I'm an interesting person.'"

Mom, I'm so scared. Please help me, the suspense is so scary!

It was suspense when seen from a distance, but when viewed up close, it's just a thriller!!

What and how Sir Ribelon knows. What does he want to know from me? What does he want from me? Could you please let me know as well?

That being said,

'All I know is your past and your future, all I want to know is

God's taste All I want from you is to repent and contribute to world peace!'

, I can't put it straight and I'm going crazy.

"Oh, that's Sa, can you help me?"

Why would I kill my aide, I won't.

Serpence's long, rich eyelashes slightly sink, casting a dark shadow around his eyes.

Depending on the answer.

I really thought I had done well.

Serpence wasn't as scary as I thought it would be, and he showed an absurd side.

Because of that, I saw the possibility, and I looked at the possibility and got distracted.

'Without being completely unaware that it was his goal... .'

Unlike Humanus, who knew nothing, I knew the past of Serpens. So I was proud that I could open his heart.

But all the numbers I put in came back as self-accumulating numbers.

I, maybe...

Say it.

Serpens with a relaxed expression waits patiently with a gentle smile. There's plenty of time anyway... is this

"If I said I couldn't speak, what would you ?"

Sir Rivelon, what do you think I will do?

The contents of [Master of the Holy Sword] flashed through my mind. Mostly Serpens killing or torturing others.

Serpens never killed them easily.

more painfully. even more miserable. more brutally. To make them feel even more fearful.'

The day of his choice had not yet come, but Serpens was already well aware of the methods.

Because he had personally experienced it, you knew it all too well.

Actually, I didn't mean to push it this far.

The green eyes behind the round spectacles looked sharply as if they knew my thoughts.

Lord Ribelon continues to fear me.

Sigism].

At the time, it was believed that the present Serpens had not yet fully fallen.

But where is the guarantee that it will?

Knowing the circumstances in which Serpens grew up and the pain he suffered. knowing that he was acting.

I thought I was looking beyond what others could not see.

You seem to be having some pretty fun ideas.

Seeing me getting tired of white, Serpens smiled brightly.

It is still bright outside the window. The warm sunlight came out and embraced Serpence.

But I felt the coolness of a snake crawling on my back, and I couldn't cringe.

"So much so that I wonder what kind of imaginations you had."

it was on purpose

He was holding his breath slowly, deliberately trying to impress fear.

Oh, come to think of it, earlier. You said that you have no interest in me.

Somehow, I seem to know the next line.

It looks like it will happen now. No, it's already there.

After saying those words, Serpens looked at my face without saying a word.

It's like saying 'that's you'.

It felt as if a snake had wrapped around her body, a chill and a chill.

"The future looks like it will be fun, isn't it?"

"Why no answer?"

I'm going to be a little sad.

"Answer, won't you?"

Answer. You'd better do it...

If I lose interest, I don't know how I'm going to act.

Serpence slowly, one sentence, one sentence. Give it time and gradually press down.

The moment you get caught up in it, it's over.

tell me what you know? Tell me, would you believe it?

'Actually, this is fiction. The holy sword will belong to someone else, you will eventually fall and become the final boss

all. And in the end, he will be killed by Prince Hwang, the master of the holy sword.'

That sounds very believable.

If you tell the truth anyway, you will die, so you have no choice but to make up yourselves.

'Let's calm down, let's calm down. You can't get involved like this.'

Talking about the coming future is not helpful in the present situation.

The fact that the Holy Sword will choose Humanus is a story too far in the future.

All I know of what happened before the day of choice came, was that Shion was hit by a wagon and died.

This is of course dismissed.'

As I recall, nothing was of any use right now.

So what happened in the past. Let's talk about it based on the last recollection he had as he died.

'Even if he has no good reason to understand'.'

If only I could corrode his thoughts little by little and paralyze them.

So we just have to make it so that he doesn't even have the time to dig into the loopholes in his logic.

'Serpence is not afraid of being wounded a lot as a child. He hasn't fallen yet. it's ok i can

I thought to myself as if brainwashing myself. The fear seems to be fading little by little.
