Duke, Please Repent! chapter 182

37. The Duke and Amhokga revisit (2)

Frederick explained the scenery he had seen in the dark, and warned Serpens not to be surprised by what he saw in person, or not to be seen for the first time.

There are a lot of crafty people out there, so shouldn't there be gaps?

'Hey! Maybe it's because it's a statement from someone who could have been swayed by showing a gap, and it's full of persuasive power!

So you should have brought a reliable guide like me.

Frederick told the story of his hardships in the dark, and Serpence countered it by pretending to be naive.

It must have been a really bad thing. I'm really happy that you're numb.

It's like an answering machine that doesn't even feel like it's sincere.

However, even those lines felt completely different when Serpence sang them.

As if surprised, I opened my eyes wide and slightly raised my forehead to draw an arm shape.

What is the appearance of sweeping your chest!

He seemed completely immersed in Frederick's story.

He was even more excited about whether it was usually a pleasure for Serpens to listen to his story, and he clamored with more enthusiasm.

For some reason, there was a strange feeling of chivalry in his appearance.

'Oh yeah! I feel like I'm bluffing out the military rumors to this freshman, a reinstated student at O.T!'

It couldn't be more appropriate.

But the reality is very much for Frederick.

It was unfortunate.

The guy I thought was a freshman was just a young boy. The truth is that he was a senior who was discharged while he was in the army, and even a former special forces soldier!

Even if I wrinkle it in front of the pupa, it won't feel more plastic than this.

By the way, where is the gate you mentioned? Time is...

As if Serpens had suddenly come to mind, he took out his watch and asked.

Translated, it means just shut up and head to the dark side quickly.

"Ah ! Now I have to slowly disguise myself and move."

Frederick said that there was something prepared for us, who had not been able to come after hearing detailed information in advance, and beckoned to the blue-haired man.

He immediately, in moderation, took the bag from the corner of the room and put it on the table.

Perhaps because they had come through a dark district, Frederick and the man were wearing commonly available hin-shirts and black trousers, and black hooded robes over them.

all.

Nevertheless, the man was making his whole body known that he was a knight.

'Is it possible that you walked around in a dark area with such a high spirit?'

It was clear that he was living an upright life that he had never deviated from. There was not a single word of debauchery to be found.

If the master he is serving goes to a dark place, he doesn't follow him, but rather rips him apart and tells him to step on him and go.

To put it simply, it was said that in a dark place, it would have looked foreign to nothing.

I sighed inwardly and peeked into the bag.

At the ready-to-wear store, he pointed to something that stood out and said, 'This is the same thing, so please put in several!'

There was also a magic reagent for dyeing on it, but it seemed that they could not find it in the same color because there were no items for sale.

I like it because all the colors are different

felt the need to dominate.

'Vivi, I will make your dreams come true!'

I opened the lid of the golden reagent and poured it into my head without delay.

"Wait! Sir Zion ?"

Yes, that's right.''

Are you going to Zion longitude?

I put my finger in the bottle, scraped the remaining contents and rubbed it on my eyebrows, but Frederick stopped me.

Of course! The Duke is leaving, your throne.

If I, the official, do not follow, who will follow?"

Darkness is a far more dangerous place than you might think.

Frederick hardened his face and said in a warning tone.

He was not powerless to protect himself, so he just said to wait here safely.

But I wasn't a serpent who would leave me in a mansion that had no defenses.

If that's the case, I wouldn't even have brought it here in the first place.

He must have thrown him into the barracks to train himself next to Winston who was training.

Then we have to go together all the more. You can't just send the Duke to such an emotionally detrimental place!

In order to listen to what I was saying, Serpens, who had been procrastinating on purpose, looked at me with his jacket and vest neatly removed.

'So what?'

If there is any dissatisfaction, he will come forward and say he can't go without leaving me here.

Not having the courage to do so, he turned his gaze away from me, took out his clothes from his bag, and went into the nearest room.

I don't care, so can I just take it as a sign of telling me to take care of it?

" I'm sorry, but I didn't think that Duke Prasidus was going to bring anyone, so I only had three prepared clothes and reagents, so I guess that would be unreasonable."

While me and Serpens exchanged glances, Frederick seemed to pick a horse.

However, in the end, it seems that they did not find a suitable answer.

He didn't respond to what he decided to do because he didn't listen to me, and gave other reasons why he couldn't take me.

'Somehow, there were only three reagent bottles!,

When he checked the bag again, Serpens picked up the clothes, revealing the contents hidden underneath.

Even if I pretended to, I could see the clothes of aristocrats custom-made with expensive money. Underneath it lay the uniforms of the knights belonging to the imperial family.

will be

The two of them were wearing the same clothes as the clothes in the bag, so of course I thought that the contents of the bag were all the same clothes.

But what about the clothes you wore before departure?

'How about this?'

The circumstances are not very reasonable to say that this is the same as separation anxiety training.

If you suddenly separate a child who is obsessed with the guardian, it will only worsen the rejection reaction.

Let's think first.

Frederick in front of him was in the same position as the person in charge of this case, so going is a definite decision.

Not to mention serpens. There was a letter asking you to come and take a picture, so you must attend. Before that, there is no option for me to go and not to go to Serpens.

On the other hand, the escort knight .

'Do you need a separate escort for Serpens to go?'

It seems there is no need

Plus, according to what Serpens said, it stretches out in the dark

Did you get into an argument?

I'd rather go

But if it's a reagent, I've already used it.

Sir Tylon, don't worry about wearing it with the hood on so it doesn't show.

If it's Sir Taylor, you're referring to that knight, right?

With dazzling hair that can show off its brilliance even with a hood on, you and Serpens have no choice but to use reagents, and that must be the conclusion of the elimination method.

It's too late to go shopping now

me? I don't even know where the clothing store is in this neighborhood... .'

It was a letter that seemed to just have a conversation, so the problem was that he had no choice but to come in formal attire.

No matter how much you care about security, 'Come in disguise.' I could have used it to some extent.

is not it? So is it too suspicious?

'The past is unavoidable, and the important thing right now is how to take the clothes that Sir Tylon is wearing... .'

If I complain that I want to see the dark district... I won't concede Huh,

Yes.

I didn't even think about it.

As he stared intently at the clothes Sir Taylor was wearing with the eyes of a prey hawk.

The door that Serpens had gone into to change his clothes squeaked open.

Hmm, hmm...! I'm having a bit of trouble.

Through the slightly opened door, Serpens coughed in embarrassment, only sticking out his head.

What's going on?

That's the clothes don't fit.

Yes? I bought it considering my body type...

Frederick put on this bad look, as if it couldn't be.

I had a point to point out, so I strode forward and pulled the doorknob. Of course, Serpens didn't allow me to open the door easily.

"I have something to check for a second, so would you please open the door?"

It shouldn't be because I'm not dressed right now.

So, I'm asking you to open it.

No, I don't mean it strange! Shouldn't we know what the situation is to come up with a solution?

Thinking there was some truth to what I said, Serpens relaxed the hand that was holding the doorknob from the other side.

He opened the door immediately, fearing that he might change his mind.

As expected, only the arms were inserted, and none of the buttons were locked.

I'm sorry, I have to show you such a dirty side...

I'm more sorry! I should have been more precise...

Frederick, bewildered by what Serpens had said, spit out something, but it was all the same nonsense, so it just flowed out.

Let's see...

Grabbing the waist of the shirt and fastening it forward like a button fastening, they gathered generously.

On the other hand, there is no proper fit on the chest or shoulders above it.

'Well then. A ready-to-wear suit would fit Serpence.'

Wearing a cape that wraps around the shoulders or wearing fancy epaulettes makes it difficult to guess the exact shoulder width, and emphasizes a slender waist by wearing a waist-length Eaton jacket or wearing a waist belt over the uniform.

That was the secret to getting a softer fit as Serpens wore clothes.

'I know because I often see Serpens on the train relaxing with his jacket off, but... .'

In fact, even that was one of the actions Serpens showed when he started to open up.

At first I thought it was to distract others, but now I feel strongly that it is not.

'Who doesn't know that serpens are strong?'

His strength, which he demonstrated as the nominee for the master of the holy sword, was too famous to be vigilant because of his seemingly weak appearance.

Purely my personal opinion, but what he said earlier in the world that I am the only one who cares about him.

I guess it might be related.

It was just a guess, nothing certain. Still, I think there's a lot of potential.

From an early age he was not protected by anyone.

I had to be stronger than anyone else, so I became stronger.

He always had to be perfect, and everything that got in the way had to be hidden or erased.

'And no one cared for him, strong and perfect... Is it?'

I don't have the courage to ask if that's really the case.

It doesn't seem like he was aware of it in the first place.

In any case, it's possible that Frederick misunderstood his body shape as he always dresses up formally to formal occasions.

it went well

I think I'll wear this, and the duke will wear the sturdy knight's clothes over there! It's a loose waist, but it's important to get in first.

From here to Serpens bare skin

No one forced me to wear a bra.

He can't even wear the clothes he originally wore.

Apparently, there was colorful embroidery on the collar of the shirt Serpens wore today, and it is, of course, a custom-made suit.

And even if there are similar types of clothes in clothing stores dealing with nobles, they never make the same clothes twice.

For that reason, Sir Taylor's clothes will be delivered to Arthur Serpens well. I steal some Serpense's clothes

I have to

That's enough for the waist... Ji?

By Serpence standards, the waist was roomy, so it will fit somehow. Perhaps

Even if the clothes problem is solved, I'm not against Lord Zion following him to the dark side. The Duke will dry you.

Now the problem is Frederick.

He was thinking negatively about following me in a dangerous place such as a dark street, who doubted his own self-defense ability.

It seems that the story your majesty said rather stimulated Sir Zion's curiosity. There are some people who know the dark district like yours, so there will be no big problems. If anything happens, I will take responsibility and protect you two. Toni, I hope you will allow me to go with you.

Serpense, who hid behind the door for a moment and then showed only his face again, asked with a desperate expression... .

Hmm, if Duke Prasidus said that... I understand.

Now the problem is gone.
