Duke, Please Repent! chapter 177

36. The Duke's Family Reunion (2)

I don't know where to start because it's a total difficulty.

I felt dizzy and dazed, and I shook my head.

Ser...

I'm sorry.

Serpens abruptly put it all on the top of my head and apologized.

When he looked up at his face again, he had a gloomy expression on his face, like a child being scolded by his parents.

"Why is Serpens sorry for me?"

"Why didn't you tell Seonwoo about this ?"

Sorry about that.

I am so sorry.

It's pathetic to see you crouching down and looking into my eyes.

I can't mess with this."

If you're really sorry, try meowing.

...Meow?,,

Okay, that's it. I've forgiven you, so you can stop apologizing.

Is this...?

I just questioned my random sound, but when I was forgiven, Serpens's eyes widened like royal bells.

It was an unbelievable response.

" maybe, does Seonwoo forgive everything if the other person just makes a cat noise?"

It can't be! Serpence is overly depressed, so before the atmosphere

It was just a joke and a joke.

I was joking around to make him feel better, but I only lost money.

I don't know why he keeps getting so anxious because he can't make me have a weird taste.

The melancholy disappeared from Serpence's face, but instead a look of doubt took its place.

That's over now, is there anything else you haven't told me?

Ummm... nothing comes to mind right now.

I can't tell if it's real or if I'm not feeling the problem.

If I see an unusual corner in the future, I'll grab it right away and check it out.

May I ask what you dreamed of? Oh, if it's hard to say, there's no need to overdo it.

" how detailed?"

Yes?

Serpense's green eyes stared straight at me.

My heart, which instinctively sensed anxiety, throbbed greatly.

That, that, so...

Sunwoo has already guessed

Isn't it? If I had a nightmare, what would it be... .

"Hey, first prepare your heart "

"Is it better not to listen?"

Even if I said it out loud, no one would listen, but it is a secret that should not be leaked.

Serpens leaned forward with his upright upper body, and asked in a low tone.

After all, you should know all about the details, the question was, why do you want to listen to it until your stomach is hurting?

'By the way, [Master of the Holy Sword] was a novel by the entire user... Ji?'

It means that the depiction of more than a degree of cruelty and the content of acts of violence against children have been omitted.

So, what was omitted was 'that's the sound.

In [Master of the Holy Sword], the scene where a young Serpens was tortured by a writer named his father crossed his mind.

Is it because Serpense's face is right in front of you?

That face with a bitter smile is painful

How would you feel if you were distorted by

How will it sound when the sweet voice in your ear turns into a desperate scream?

Clearer and more detailed than ever.

Even if I didn't want to, the scene was drawn in my head and I came to imagine it.

town

Look at that.

I covered my mouth with my hand as I felt my stomach churn and nausea was rising.

Serpens reached out and spit on my back

shut up

Ser, Pence. When I pat my back like this, I really vomit.

Without a word, he put his hand away and gathered the papers on the desk and pushed them to one side.

It's like such a mean bastard.

I took a long breath and picked a breath.

I know, but still, you can't turn your back on me.

"Sunwoo has already been able to face me properly.

are you saying That's enough.

still .

Serpence looked at me with worried eyes.

Who should be worried about now, and who are they worried about?

The guy let out a sigh.

"It's just I went back to my helpless childhood and just repeated what happened at the time. The only difference from reality is that when I is tortured by that person, all the dukes at that time surround it and watch it. Struggling in that pain... that cold

I gave up even that in the eyes... . It was just, it was.

Ser, Pence...

"It was a dream after all, so there was no physical pain, so don't make such an expression."

In the end, he never went into detail about what had happened to him.

It's not because it's hard for him to say, it's because it's hard for me to hear. For that reason, my heart ached even more.

They say that there was no pain because it was a dream, but how could it not be painful since it was an actual experience?

"How terrifying and terrifying ."

It's just a dream.

"On the subject of sleeping and drowning because I was afraid of that dream "

I'm afraid of going back to sleep after waking up in the middle, so I'd rather run until the morning as it is?

I didn't even say that...

I said, I said it!

Serpens said he was helpless only as a child, but now

He was also mentally helpless.

Caught by a sense of helplessness, I let myself go.

I grabbed his hand, which was restlessly resting on the desk, as hard as I could.

You've run away from me well, but why can't you do that in your dreams? Struggle anyway. You can run away from them and run to me.

It's like that...

"It's possible. You say that dreams are a reflection of the unconscious?

You have a good brain and a good memory, so you can think of me and find me. Then, voila, I will appear in my dream and punish all the bad people! I'm going to give Serpence a lot of prayers until his hands become feet, so just trust me!

At my reliable words, Serpens let out a smirk that seemed to fall into the wind.

Oh, why? I'm so serious? Can you stop laughing?

Isn't Seonwoo smiling like that?

"Originally, when you see a child smiling, everyone is bound to laugh."

gibberish.

There is no other person in the world who can say the word nonsense with such a bright smile but Serpence.

Well, if that doesn't work, you can just wake up from the dream and find the real me. I usually don't like waking up very much, but Serpens will take special care of me, so you can wake me up anytime. Then I'll do a hull.

A lullaby...?

You don't even know the lullaby? Find it if you're curious.

Oh, did you see it?

I wondered if he didn't know what I was saying, and he mumbled that he was a lullaby and fell into trouble.

'This bastard, I've been in vain in volunteering at the orphanage.'

That's why politicians' show-and-forth volunteer work is meaningless. Service should be done with a sincere heart.

"Is it better than that?"

"Are you asking if you were okay before, and are you asking if you are okay now?"

You mean meeting Inquisitor Heretic?

all. Right after I had that dream... . Even with the excuse that he was tired, he said he would put it off for just one day.

When did I not say that I was a good person?

said the boy smirking.

He said it well because he was in front of people, but again, the question was, 'Are you that kind of person?

"No, he's a good person. He is, but he looks a bit like him, his face."

" that's me too."

I forgot the exact subject, but I'm not saying, 'He looks like Serpens, so he must also look like the duke.

He understood it easily. And answered.

A person's outward appearance isn't everything, right? And I haven't seen that his face, but Serpens must have been much more handsome!

Isn't the back and forth of the words inconsistent?

"What do you know about that?"

Serpence made a short whistle as if he was absurd.

I just thought I had to keep the public and private. There are things I need to ask the Heretical Inquisitor.

Are you asking?

I threw a person who was not equipped with any force as bait in a dangerous place, of course...

"It hasn't even been a minute since you said you would keep public and private?"

I'm colder than ever.

You like coolness]! The words don't match right?!

That's not up to me.

Isn't it too much to react a little while ago and use it right away?

"You used me as bait, too.

yo. This?

"So, if something dangerous happened, you waited in the street where you could react immediately. If I had been there, a demon king bird would come out of Seon-woo's mouth ."

for a moment!!

The Demon King Bird...

Woah, woah-!!

He looked at me with his eyes, wondering what the hell he's doing.

It's embarrassing to see you staring at him close up. I grabbed his hand and let go of the forgotten hand, and stood up straight with his back straight.

Let's use fair and fine language. We'll shorten it to something like 'Masaegaesae'.

What's different?

At least there's no sound.

Dog...

If you reduce it that much, it sounds like you're calling me a bastard, not a demon lord, right?

For some reason it became very uncomfortable.

If it were me, I would have jumped right in as soon as the word 'Masaegaesae' came out and secured Seonwoo's safety.

"The door was closed and you couldn't hear it.

But if only the interrogator knew... .

Of course, I should have sneaked in before that. If not, I should have put my ears on the door.

Paladins or Heretic Inquisitors aren't even assassins], Serpens was expecting too much from them.

And you said that the demon worshiper used black magic to manipulate the deputy butler. What would you have done if it had been used on you, Seon-woo? So, I even ordered him to commit suicide.

Calm down, Serpens.

It's already calming down.

"Is it super emotional?"

You must have felt that way because you were stabbed.

There is no such thing as recklessness

If you meet the Heretic Inquisitor like this, you will have a great fight.

It's my first meeting with my family... .

"As the head of the household, it's definitely something we can take into account."

But wouldn't it be sad if Serpence took the side of someone else?

"Didn't you also say that a neighbor who lives close is better than a cousin who lives far away?"

The heretic interrogator-nim is not a human village, but a village of three.

"It doesn't matter. Either way, they are the same person to me. It seems like they will be sad in the first place, or they want to meet me.

Normally, he's a guy who doesn't fight in the first place, even for image management... .

I've been sharpening my knife all night, depending on today

The day is close.

'wait for a sec?'

Maybe it was because I had been tormented by Duke Prasidus in a dream all night, and when I woke up in the morning, I got a call from his younger brother, Inquisitor Heretic.

And because I thought he was endangering me, the person he had barely prepared for, to reveal himself and to lean on.

'Is that why you're burning such animosity?'

It was plausible.

For him, blood ties have always been something that suffocates his breath.

peel.

But didn't Serpence think he was a good person?

That's why you're trying to solve it through conversation. Keep calm.

This child, this.

If he had judged that he was not a good person, he would have secretly assassinated.

Who knows if it's not the original suspense?
