Duke, Please Repent! chapter 215

41. People of the Dukes (3)

Gee, calm down, Eirich-sama!

In order to calm Eirich, who was over-excited, Altar hurriedly grabbed Eirich's arm and said.

Of course, it had no effect at all.

Really? Hearing this, the word Jeong-ha comes out right now?!

Eilic looked at Althar, who was trying to stop him, with eyes that seemed to say, 'What is this bastard heresy?'

In the eyes of a senior coworker, who had a creepy look, Altar secretly let go of the arm that he had been holding on to.

Well, you have to be patient. If you are directly involved in the affairs of the family you came from... ah, that's why I was going to come alone...

Still, his mouth was still alive, and Altar groaned and mumbled as if in trouble.

When I saw it in the Recluton estate, I looked very proud, but today

It's not the word.

His ugly halberd standing obliquely next to the sofa is almost indistinguishable.

Whoah... Hans-sama? Then, what have you been doing for 20 years or so?

Discipline, Nabal, and having just decided to leave, Eirich ignored Althar and spoke to Hans.

sorry.

"How long have you been working for the Duke of Prasidus?"

It's been a little over 40 years.

A person like that...!

Suddenly, Eirich was not an outsider, but a member of the Prasidus family, pushing Hans, the butler.

There is no face.

If I had known you were such a person, I would have cut you off when I was a small business owner...

Eilic stared at Hans with a face that looked like he wanted to physically chop off Hans.

"Before I left the family, I said that I would take care of my younger brother, but this is the result?

If it looks like you're leaving, you should have done something to stop it!

In the end, unable to hold back his anger, Eirich jumped up and shouted.

At his words, full of lust for his family, Althar sighed as he looked for Luxmea.

" I have nothing to say."

You, what the hell are you doing?!

Perhaps even more angry at Hans' answer, Eirich reached out to his chin, which was leaning next to him-.

And my eyes darkened.

In case of an unexpected bloodshed,

Eugese, who was sitting next to me, covered my eyes.

Please take this spear from Altar-sama.

Eilee! no, think again

I thought enough!

Fortunately, Eirich had no intention of doing anything to Hans with his spear.

Eugez's hand, which covered my eyes, was removed, and I saw Eirich forcefully handing his spear over to Altar.

It's still fine. I'll tell you well.

To give it to you, I'm still writing a prologue.

It's not going to be okay from now on.

It's like, 'Luxmea-nim, I'm going to go to hell after killing that bastard.' Altar's eyes fluttered at Eilich's answer, as if he was saying that.

According to the conversation, the act of handing over a weapon to a heretic interrogator to another person seems to mean renunciation."

'uh? Wait, did I get it right?'

City towards Serpence for confirmation

moved the line. I met Serpens, who blinked with an expression that he did not understand the English language.

Roughly, it was like asking, 'Why is he doing that?'

'It's because of you! I feel so sorry for you, angry with your brother and Hans, and I can't forgive myself for not knowing that you were in such a situation!'

Serpens glanced at Eilich with a glimmer, then shrugged slightly.

I don't know, it just meant that it was scary... .

'That's right, face!'

With a face resembling that of a former duke, he is running rampant in rage, so it is natural for him to be frightened.

Eugenes should have covered Serpens's eyes, not mine.

So while Serpens and I exchanged glances, Eirich succeeded in forcing his spear to Altar.

Come on, wait a minute!

I shouted hastily, but the time was already after Eirich approached Hans and punched him.

Whoops, I heard a harsh hitting sound

He fell as if flying backwards.

Hans collapsed on the floor, groaning and shaking his body.

'Hey, let me stop... !'

If he had hit him with all his might, out of control, Hans would have lost consciousness, lost his life, or something.

In other words, I did not stop even though I could have stopped enough after hearing my cry.

Altar knew this too, and while holding the spear that belonged to Eillich in one hand, he covered his face with the other and bowed his head.

What's going on?

Eirich grabbed Hans by the collar and lifted him up and asked me if one thing was not enough.

It's like, 'Are you dissatisfied with me punishing this bastard? Would you like to get a shot too?'

'Is this person originally hot-tempered, did he change like this because of the harsh work environment unique to the profession of a heretic interrogator?!'

I'm glad I didn't bring out the torture tool, but just flew my fists.

Still, I'd like to dry it.

Eirich must have overlooked how he would appear in Serpence's eyes.

I was mistaken for the appearance of Serpence, who behaves calmly even when he is facing himself, and looks just fine on the outside.

'It's hard for Serpence to think of his dead father when he sees such a violent image, but... .'

It's even bigger if you project yourself.

My pride can't wait for the bottom

If it is a serpent who digs into the

"Uh, hey, that's can't you go somewhere else and do it?"

I was definitely going to say don't do it.

However, the moment I met Eilich's cold eyes, my mouth was reciting a different line.

"Ah, no, hey Even if the things in the drawing room are damaged, it's difficult"."

From the Duke's point of view, it doesn't look good...

...Ah!,,

Only then did Eirich come to his senses and release Hans by the neck.

Hans fell to the floor helplessly.

Eirich hesitated, and instead of taking Hans up and moving, he slightly pushed him with his feet and went back to his seat and sat down.

Eirich-sama...

Okay. Did you hear Altar-sama? What did my brother-in-law do?

Saying so, he pushed Althar's hand to return the spear to him.

paid

He tried to interfere with the will of God. It is a challenge to God's authority. Already I am not worthy of worshiping God.

It was only a matter of excessive religious belief. It is not to the extent of calling it a heresy...

Still, someone has to pay for their sins. So it is right for me to take responsibility and step down.

Eirich's attitude was not enough to say that he was determined.

No matter what he said, he didn't seem to have any intention to change his choice.

But, didn't this happen after Eilich-sama left the family? Eilich-sama said, 'I am not a member of the Prasider family.

"Then, who are you to blame? My younger brother who has already died and is not in this world? Or ."

Eirich's gaze fell on Serpens.

I will protect you from now on, so it's like telling me not to be serious. The dreadful eyebrows were gently curved and lit up with a friendly light.

I can't pass it on to my nephew.

At Eirich's determined voice, Yujisuga wiped away tears of emotion next to him.

It cannot but be said that it is a beautiful sight.

If Serpens had not looked at him with suspicious eyes one day, as if he was facing an unknown man who suddenly came to pay off his parents' debts.

And if it wasn't for Altar, who was embarrassed by the fact that a talented senior at the company came after him at will, and he suddenly offered to resign due to an incident that happened there.

'I could have been genuinely impressed... .'

I feel like I have eaten astringent persimmons.

"And did you say Zion-sama?"

Yes?! Ah, yes...

I'm sorry a while ago. I was so red .

"Yeah, well I get it. It made sense, yes."

Thank you for drying me.

Ah, yes...

I think Althar was more zealous for him than I did.

If you're going to thank him for drying up, shouldn't you be the first to do it?

And it seems that Zion-sama had a big influence on Zhuchi's change of mind. Is that correct?

Uh huh... well, that's roughly what it is.

The answer is yes, but I don't think I changed Hans's mind on my own.

'If I talk hard, Hans is not someone who will listen to me.'

No matter how much Serpence continues to act externally, he

It cannot but be seen that there is a slight change in the

And there is no way that Hans, who had been watching it for a long time of 25 years, did not notice it.

'The maids in the kitchen also noticed that the serpents eat sweets, but it doesn't make sense if Hans, who serves them closer, doesn't know.'

Not only that, I learned that Serpens, who had never been sincere with him, had opened his heart to me and Eugenes.

And I saw Serpens getting anxious and relying on me.

Then you must be convinced that something is wrong.

In the end, he must have realized that Serpens was also an ordinary person.

'And he must have looked back on his actions.'

Thinking once again about the question Serpens asked back in the day, who would be helpful to him?

I realized why Serpens had taken my side at that time.

Only then would I remember what I had said to him

will be.

"Recently are you okay?" Eirich asked cautiously.

Yes? What?

Didn't you say that before. Until recently, that...

When I questioned him, he blurted his lips and glanced at Serpens.

I could read the light of concern in that action.

Until recently, Serpens seemed to be concerned about Hans' words that he had been working without resting.

Yeah! It's a lot better than before! It'll get even better in the future. Not long ago, I] even gave me a vacation!

I see, thank you.

Thank you, what.

Somehow I shrug my shoulders.

To the extent that I want to brag about how well I have raised Serpens.

Serpence seems to be still wary, as if he doesn't know why that person is expressing his gratitude to me.

' It will gradually get better.'

Anyway, Eirich is a good person

I'm glad it's like

Seeing Hans beating Hans without hesitation, even if he later finds out that the real culprit who killed the ex-duke is Serpens, he is likely to praise him for doing a very good job.

It must be thanks to the grace of Luxmea.

Eirich smiled softly and said.

Even if he decided to quit the priesthood, it seems that his faith has disappeared.

'Thinking back and forth, it is certain that Luxmea sent me here.

So, that statement is not wrong.'

With that in mind, I nodded lightly.

Yes, it is.

I feel reassured that the angel of the gods is watching over my nephew.

"Hey, I'm Ser , no, I'm being protected by the Duke in many ways, what?"

Somehow I feel embarrassed and even bubbly.

I work hard to take care of my children in a poor household, send them to a good university, and envy people in the neighborhood for saying I raised my children well.

Is this what it feels like to hear compliments mixed with humor?

i See.

Eirich smiled softly and nodded.

Seeing her smile like this, she looked more like Serpens.

"Yeah, right , no, isn't it?!"

Words of praise feel good no matter how many times you think about them.

Recalling Eilich's words, he tried to answer involuntarily, but realized something strange and turned around.

I made a hasty correction, but I know

could the fact that it's already gone.

'Who the hell said that? 'The Monkey'? Or the retired workers who were captured together?

I can't forgive whoever it is.
