Duke, Please Repent! chapter 216

41. People of the Dukes (4)

I know. this is my mistake

You bastard, if I'm in trouble, I'll welcome you with open arms, and everyone else... .

Yeah, what can you expect?'

Heretic Inquisitor is right in front of you.

I'd have asked you to tell me everything you know, with a piercing tool of torture in your eyes.

He must have been terrified and said everything he could say.

It's my fault for knowing that, but immersing myself in a different topic and spilling out important words.

'I didn't say it out loud, I just said it out loud, go beyond that?!'

Eillich], this gentleman. I haven't seen him like that, but he's a very rude person.

I was happy to be praised by my cat, so I bragged about it.

It's like saying can I go home and play to see it?

And I replied that I should go to bed, forgetting the condition of the messy, dirty house.

Serpence was also thinking similarly to me, so his eyes looking at Eirich narrowed slightly.

I'm looking at you with disbelief.

It's like, 'After all, all adults are the same. After all, was that the purpose? It hurts my heart to see the eyes of a wounded child saying, 'This scammer!'

People say that the demon worshipers called Zion 'Lion of Luxmea'.

Eirich spoke of the information he found out through interrogation, not knowing how his nephew was looking at him.

Just hearing it makes me want to propose to Serpens to change his mind even now, take over the lives of those people and let them rot in prison for the rest of their lives for the crime of insulting the nobles.

"Where in the world is there a person of God like me?"

Certainly], to be called a messenger of God

You don't have divine power.

Eirich nodded in agreement with my words.

He is obsessed with prejudice.

'If it's divine power, I'm overflowing with Serpens, do I need to have it too?'

Looking at Humanus alone, he was the master of the holy sword, but he could not properly utilize his divine power except for attack techniques.

After all, Liena, who I go with, does it all!

Because there is an assistant talent who is far superior to myself right next to me,

Because I didn't feel the need to polish it in various ways.

It is a kind of choice and concentration, or opportunity cost.

For the same reason, even if I had divine powers, I would not have felt the need to learn properly because Serpens would do everything for me, and I would have just left it alone.

Well, anyway .

Is that right? That's right!

"That makes it even more problematic."

Is there any problem? It's just not.

At my lightly thrown words, Eirich shook his head heavily.

But from the mouth of a demon worshiper.

Even if I think about it, a person who is me is 'the unique duality of the name of the messenger of God This is not the case with the pressure.

If it were me, I would have wanted to believe that the evil bastard fooled around with his legs, but somehow Eirich seems to want me to be a messenger of the gods.

'Do you have any belief that God will take care of you when you reach Serpence?'

It was a fairly devastating accident. But it wasn't really wrong.

"So there is no need to listen to such nonsense .

So, if Zion is not really a messenger of God, he may be stalked into a heresy trying to confuse the demon worshipers by sharing distorted information as if it was God's will.

If that's the case, the words are different.

It's okay to say these things out loud, there's no time to think about it.

I must have made up my mind to leave the church,

Since I look close to Serpence, I'm probably covering it up and defending it.

I am the messenger of the gods! A faithful follower of Lux Mea-sama.

I must have chosen the wrong word.

Eirich and Altar's eyes looked at me with suspicion.

From this point on, Zion is the true messenger of the god Lux Mea!

Eugene is actively defending me

it was

It was so active that I even wondered if I wasn't trustworthy enough to have to do it.

Sir Zion's words and deeds are light and misunderstood, but when you get to know him, he is a deep-hearted person.

Serpens also came forward and defended me.

his behavior. Is my tone of voice that light?

I thought I was living the average language life of a man in his mid-20s... .

'Isn't it? Seriously, I was swearing around like a rebellious teenager in my prime, what did you do?! Is this enough for you to be completely grown-up? Are you above average?'

The standards here are quite different.

"He guided me in a positive direction. I am Lord Zion ."

Even while I was voicing my inner complaints, Serpens continued to speak.

The guy spoke in a shaky voice, and then paused for a moment as if something was coming up.

I slowly closed my eyes and picked my breath.

I think Zion is more worthy of being a messenger of the gods than anyone else.

Serpence has a more dramatic effect, opening my eyes

And he said, taking off the title Kyeong , which he had deliberately attached to it.

'Hey, it's not an appealing joke!'

It's like, 'Yes, that's right. I am a true messenger of the gods of this age!'

"And if if it hadn't been for him.

I wouldn't be where I am today.

I thought it was all over, but it seems that it was still there.

Serpence spoke softly with a self-helpful smile, as delicate as a dangerous candle, as if it were about to go out at any moment.

Is it because they know that it is acting, yet they know that there is sincerity in it?

My heart sank and sank.

"Hey, what is that ?"

Naturally, Eirich caught the fish right away.

Eirich, who felt guilty about leaving Serpence alone for a long time, was a very easy prey.

Tigers do their best when catching rabbits.

However, Serpens misunderstood the prey in front of him as a bear rather than a rabbit, risking life and death.

'As long as Euges uttered the oath of the World Tree, it wouldn't have to be done like that .'

Although it is a assumption to the last, I wondered if it was to prevent the situation where she overuses it because of the danger of the oath; D;

A lot has changed when I first met her. It's delightful

Now do you know? For a long time, the only meaning of my existence was to become the master of the Holy Sword:

The boy deliberately blurted the end of his words and made a sad expression on his face.

It wasn't too difficult to imagine what would follow.

The moment the holy sword went to someone else, the meaning of his existence disappeared. Then you would lose the meaning of living any longer.

These words must be floating around in Eirich's head.

Hans also said that the former Duke of Prasidus committed suicide, so it's easier to recall the word.

' Isn't that too cruel?'

Looking at Eilich's white face, it makes me feel sorry for everything.

Even since it was a wide-area period that did not distinguish between enemies, Eugenes covered his mouth and quietly wept.

I'll have to explain it to Eugenes later and ask him to apologize.

Well, there's no reason for that!

Eilic denied Serpense's words.

Being the master of the Holy Sword is not the only reason Serpence exists. was saying that

'By the way, you're easily rude to Hans, but you still use respect for Serpens?'

It seems that it is very difficult to treat your nephew D.

Serpens is treating him thoroughly as someone else, and he has not taken any formal steps to leave the church.

is in a state of

Most of all, it's not unusual since I didn't even get permission to return to the house from Serpens, the head of the household.

Before I met him, no one had ever said that to me. There was only one, Zion.

Oh my god, Luxmea...

At Serpence's words, Eirich called out the name of the god with a look as if he had been beaten in the back of the head.

Altar was also shocked.

Even before the Day of Choice, the Church did not take it for granted that Serpens became the master of the Holy Sword.

It is the face that realized how much burden it must have been for the person concerned.

Of course, I'm not saying he's a messenger from that personal feeling. He's proven to me that he's a messenger.

Now that I've been emotionally shaken, I think I'm going to dig into that gap and go into solidification.

He knew that someone other than me was chosen to be the master of the holy sword.

There was. For that reason, he constantly tried to show me the beauty of this world and the joy of living, and he taught me that I can live my life regardless of the holy sword. Thanks to that, when the Holy Sword chose someone else, I was able to accept it with a smile.

with a slender face. But both eyes have a strong glow.

Serpens said so.

It is truly astonishing to see the technology that puts contradictory feelings into one face.

Not only that, he's my three-year-old, whom I've never even spoken of.

I knew the name.

The fraud fence uttered a brazen voice.

'Then, on the day of choice, is it God who covered my eyes and told me the christening name of Ador? Are you Luxmea?'

Even if I cover my eyes and meow, it's still oily.

It's really weird.

"Ah that's why Sion knew the baptismal name of Serpens!"

Euges exclaimed as if he had attained enlightenment.

While smirking, he puts the chuimsae wonderfully.

'Wow, that's really embarrassing!'

As for how injustice it is, it's worse than eating walnuts for a whole week for one wrong sleep talk.

Was it so bad that I showed off that I knew my christening name?

'Everyone! Serpens' baptismal name means love! When you call him in the future, please call him a love fence with love!'

I think I'm going to talk about around the neighborhood.

"I understand. If that's the case,

Do you even know the baptismal name?"

Altar asked cautiously. It was a question that deserved to be asked.

Oh, I'm sorry. It's out of your area.

" Is there such a thing?"

My main job is to deal with the Holy Sword. My Majesty the Crown Prince, who is the owner of the Holy Sword, and his fiancée, Earl of Opulence, I know the christening name of Liena, one of the members of the Sacred Sword.

Hearing my answer, Altar seemed to have been thinking for a moment, then took out a piece of paper and a pen and handed it to me.

This means that you write it down without having to ask what it is.

The baptismal name is probably the reason why you shouldn't put it in your mouth carelessly.

"By the way, will you get it and use it?"

I'm going to visit Count Opulence tomorrow and check it out.

I returned a piece of paper on which I wrote my baptismal names and asked a question, and Altar answered it, confirming it.

And the paper went into the burning fireplace on one side of the drawing room.

'You can't talk, you can burn it

Is it?'

I can't understand it at all.

I just want to express my sincere apologies to Renie, who will be faced with a situation where a heretic inquisitor from the sanctuary comes and guesses the christening name at once.

"And there is one more question I want to ask."

Yes, do.

"So , what is the mission that Zion has been given as a messenger of God?"

Yeah, it's worth asking this question too.

I see the demons against me

It seems to play an important role, but in the end, all I heard from Serpens was that I had been stingy.

He didn't say anything like that they broke their plans by informing them, or that they were preparing for it.

that .

I hope you don't ask for details. And I hope that Zion's identity is not known as much as possible.

I tried to explain based on the settings made by Eugene and Serpence, but Serpence stopped me and stopped me from speaking.

cut it off

His mission will play a very important role in the future of the continent. His actions must never be constrained or variable.

Serpens said with a hard expression on his face.

It was something he would never do in a normal external fence, so Altar and Eirich also took his words seriously.

Okay. Then I will go back knowing that.

Yeah, look carefully.

It was only after Altar showed that he would not ask any more questions, Serpense's expression softened. Kindness returned to her voice.

Eilich-sama must also go.

Altar-sama, I...

Still, you shouldn't have to tell the Holy Spirit directly.

Eirich nodded and glanced at Serpence.

He seemed to want him to hold him.

I've decided to leave the church, so there's no need to bother anymore, Serpens and a little

I'd like to have more personal conversations about this and that.

But Serpens never caught him.
