Duke, Please Repent! chapter 101

24. The Duke and the Master of the Holy Sword (5)

' thing true. It's very shiny.'

Before Humanus, the master of the Holy Sword, set out on a journey. In addition to the launch ceremony, a place was prepared to introduce two talented people who will become his colleagues.

Today's banquet was attended by not only aristocrats but also church officials.

Is it because of that? It was held much more grand and splendid than the monthly banquet.

But my review of the glitter is not about that.

Not physically, but mentally. An invisible brilliance lit up in my heart.

And I was in the middle of that light.

Is Xion still on a diet? You don't eat much these days.

You've always been talking about that, but I think you're going to start seriously now.

Eugene and Serpence are between me

having a conversation about How can this dodge shine even while talking about such nonsense?

I thought I'd gotten used to it now, but when the two of them came out, they're busy catching the soul of their escape.

Just like when I first met Serpence, I keep staring at her beauty in silence.

' Calm down.'

Even if others don't know, don't you know that this twinkle is calculated now?

"I'm working out, so I'm going to fall out soon."

In response to my answer, Serpens smiled brightly, resembling the gentle sunshine of a spring day.

It's because I couldn't get it out of my mouth, so there was a change in weight?'

This is not my paranoia.

What made it worthwhile was that the clothes he bought him before still didn't fit, so he had no choice but to adjust the clothes for today.

I heard that diet is more important than exercise to lose weight.

I've never been on a diet once in my life.

Obviously never done.

With a smile as fresh as the fresh sunlight in midsummer, Eugenes, an elf, threw out the words of rustic murder.

'Because I said that I was losing weight for nothing... .One

I shouldn't have spoken about losing weight by being stimulated by Zeon's words. Who knew I would be teased like this!

With a fresh smile, it flew like a dagger and pierced it.

'It's not that I'm not eating because of that, but... .'

You can lose weight at any time, but

The only thing you can do is at that moment.

Normally, they would bring a full set of banquet food to eat, but there is a reason why they can't.

There are a few reasons why the two people in front of me are so dazzling that they are not in the mood to eat, but the biggest reason is .

'As soon as I fall alone, there are a lot of people running around here ?'

He came out of the two without thinking, and returned to his original position, startled by the crowd approaching with bright eyes.

'If everyone had a car, I would give up neatly... .'

Whatever the purpose of today's banquet, it was the first banquet to attend after the marriage restrictions were lifted for Serpence.

After all, the master of the holy sword and his companions will be leaving soon. And Serpence will remain in the Empire.

'Even at the monthly banquet, it was crowded to talk to Serpens, but .'

Instead of commenting now, I will try to persuade him to marry him.

For that reason, Serpence had to block their approach, creating a friendly atmosphere with Yuji.

Let someone else intervene, and the conversation continued, creating topics that did not exist.

The plan was a success, and no one was able to get close to the two who radiated this inaccessible aura.

Their appearance seemed as if they were saying, 'How dare an earthly human intervene in a conversation between a heavenly being.'

Each shines with a brightness exceeding 500,000 lux.

Let's put out the fire slowly. Your Majesty the Crown Prince is hesitating over there.

The supremely bright smile returned to normal mode, and then Humanus came along with my colleagues.

I, like the other aides, fell behind Serpens.

"Sefi, you look so bright today, don't you?"

To Humanus, who spoke dazedly, Serpens made an innocent expression as if he did not know what he was talking about.

You must have heard about these two before...

As he said, Anima and Liena

As Euges had done before, it was after he got up on the podium and gave a brief self-introduction.

So, Humanus ended the introduction by explaining the three of us to them.

Huh... I'm the one who turned down the offer of a co-worker...?

With a sullen expression on her face, Anima muttered with a pouting mouth.

It looked like he was talking to himself, but his voice was a little loud for that.

"I explained why yesterday.

you gave Sepi had no choice but to... .

"Who said what?"

Humanus tried to persuade the Anima, but she kept her mouth shut. Even the hostility was felt in her pink eyes looking at Serpens.

Sorry, Sepi. I talked to him yesterday, but Anima said he didn't want to come, but he had to come. So...

I'm fine, Your Majesty, you don't have to apologize.

[Master of the Holy Sword] In the beginning, the Anima is me

He is a character who ate a lot of swear words for his uncooperative attitude.

Over time, they gradually opened their hearts to Humanus and Liena and began to cooperate, and as the reason for her behavior was revealed, the readers' perceptions changed little by little.

'And after the death of her only 'comer, she leaned completely towards sympathy.

Anima calls her her older sister, and says that she stuck with her like a piece of gum.

She was the only support for Anima, who was rejected by other wizards, and naturally had a strong attachment to her.

got to have

That is why the anima who lost her was dangerously shaken.

Humanus was the one that the anima relied on anew. It was also after he had completely lost his country.

The two supported each other with a spirit of communion, and from a certain moment they began to feel more than colleagues.

To that extent, to Anima, the existence of her older sister was nothing but her everything.

Her world has expanded a bit by making friends through the journey, but even so, it is a big part for her.

things don't change

'But the trip hasn't even started yet, so of course my mind is closed.

The only thing I could rely on was forcibly separated, so I was inevitably dissatisfied.

That's probably why he's showing his hostility to Serpens now.

Without checking, you must be thinking, 'I was forcibly separated from my sister, who is she to be able to veto?'

'Even if you keep refusing, you'll have no choice but to send her in place of Anima.

I heard... .'

I can only be more dissatisfied.

Whichever one he chose, he had no choice but to separate from her. Unable to put her in danger, Anima chose to become a companion of the Holy Sword, crying and eating mustard.

'To lose such a precious and unique existence... .'

If you can stop it... . No, it can be prevented.

However, it is the same as saying that she will break several barriers at once and lose the opportunity to grow rapidly.

If you make it impossible, the power of the Holy Sword Party will be greatly reduced.

'But this time, Serpence is also on the continent's side, and I've reduced the number of executives by one more, so it won't be okay... peel?'

I wanted to reduce the damage on the continent, but somehow it felt like it was going downhill. However, leaving it alone is also uncomfortable.

However, Serpense's help was essential to rescue her. No matter how much I knew the future, I had no power to change it.

'What will Serpence think?'

Instead of losing the only stakeholder who supported her for a long time. If only I could go one step further to peace on the continent just by letting it go.

In the past, it was said that it is a necessary evil and may have been ignored.

'But now... .'

I looked at Serpens.

Priests Liena and Eugenes. While talking to them about theology, I looked around to see if he felt my gaze.

"Do you have anything to say to me?"

No, just what...

There is, but that's not what I'm talking about right now. Serpens had noticed it too, and sent a glance to ask if he would come back later.

'There is no other barley sack that I borrowed.'

Humanus was called by Rainier and was absent for a while.

Considering the contents of [Master of the Holy Sword], they were exchanging christening names while exchanging sad conversations on a quiet terrace.

And Anima... .

The world isn't out of my mind, I'm out of the world!'

As if he wanted to say something, he was pouting alone with his arms folded and his head turned.

But when he saw his eyes staring at the three of them who were having a conversation, it didn't seem comfortable at all.

Serpens, pretending not to notice it, paying attention to her.

The other two tried to look at Anima or talk to her from time to time, but every time she did, she snorted and raised her chin.

'I understand the situation well, but is that unnie coming too much?

you cried... !'

No matter how pitiful the child was, I wondered if he was living too sloppy.

On the other hand, what about our children?

Even though it's just acting, isn't it an example of manners in itself? It's because you don't treat people as human beings on the inside, but on the outside, you have great social skills... .

I was only together for half a year and a few months, but Anima's guardian lived with her for several years and looked after her.

You can't compare it just by looking at the time.

You, what have you been staring at me for since before?

Yes?!

Did I take a step back and stand alone, thinking that I was in the same situation as myself, or did I simply judge that I was comfortable?

she spoke bluntly.

No, nothing!

huh !

She turned towards me for a moment and then turned her head. If that's the case, why

Did you say... .

Originally, she wasn't that ticklish. Now, I'm just pretending to be strong because of the fear of being unfamiliar1, and the anxiety of being separated from myself in an unfamiliar place.

There was a character setting called ' .'

In fact, when I started to open my heart, I was relieved quite often, and I was often seen showing affection towards my companions.

'When is Humanus coming?'

Hurry up, he'll come back and pick up his comrades, we'll either go back or not. I looked around the banquet hall for nothing.

Buried among the people, I found the color of a goldfish.

It seems that Humanus is still spending time with my fiancée on the terrace, whose owner must be someone else.

'It must be the second prince.'

There was no other hair color that popped out like that.

In the past banquets, he always seemed to be quietly alone or hanging out with some of his age, but today he has been busy with people around him.

'If you look at it that way, you're still single over there... ?'

His older brother, Humanus, was still unmarried, and up to the second prince remained unmarried. In order to prevent an unexpected accident in advance, he did not have a fiancee, so it was Muju Gongsan itself.

'In this situation, the theory that Crown Prince Humanus was 'it' came to mind... .'

Using that as a justification, it became possible to claim to move the crown prince to the second prince.

If you make a relationship with the second prince in advance, there is no better condition to use him.

Even if he fails to take over the throne, it is certain that he will at least become the emperor's outcast in the future if he uses the second prince's child... It would look like

'Who is not the sword that is the starting point of the problem... .'

It really ruined many lives.

Bona Mana, the second prince must also have been baptized with a proposal no less than Serpens.

I couldn't even see my face because I was buried in people, but I don't need to check. It was obvious that his complexion had turned white from being tormented by them.

If Serpens had not hit the iron wall of light, the personnel would have been dispersed, but what can we do?

First of all, you have to live here.
