It’s finally the first weekend. In the meantime, we also went to another advisory council meeting.
‘Why are they being cool for the first hour when they’re going to fight anyway?’
It’s probably customary for one of the members to start off with a filibuster and the other to start punishing him.
According to the explanation that Serpence kindly added, does it mean that they should compete with pure physical ability, excluding all divine powers and magical powers?
The tools that can be used are limited to single sheets of documents, and the use of any weapons is prohibited.
‘Have they ever played martial arts x days? No, why do the meetings have combat rules? Is this a fighting nation?’
This could no longer be referred to as a ‘meeting’. Seeing the absurd expression on my face, Serpence told me that it was okay because there were a lot of divine power holders in the scene, so safety was guaranteed.
‘Is that important? Safety is not the issue here! This country is crazy!’
As I continued to stare at him with a dumb face, Serpence said these words with a shy expression.
“Actually, Count Pgnuto recommended it to me before.”
‘Isn’t there anything else to recommend?’
“I had no choice but to participate once.”
‘Are you planning to participate again?!’
“After all, In the end, I’m the only one left.”
‘The massacre of civilians!!’
“Ummm. It was a bit embarrassing.”
‘··········.’
No wonder no one ever touched Serpence, there must have been a background like this. I guess it was just a champion preference.
‘If the last one comes out once again, will he be competing with Serpence?’
I’ve heard a shocking story, but that’s not the kind of information I need to get.
I came with only a minimal amount of luggage, after work I wandered around asking the remaining people about this and that. At the same time, I also handed the snack that I had promised to Mary. I bought her a whipped cream cake from a well-known store, and she was very happy.
‘It would have been nice if Serpence was as simple as half her.’
Even if it is my own interpretation, I am confident that I understand more than anyone else in the world the true meaning of what Serpence is saying.
Even so, it’s really embarrassing when he sometimes act out of context.
In particular, I couldn’t even imagine the advisory meeting.
‘He should Ignore that kind of recommendation!’
I already know well that he’s pretending to be nice. But even considering that, ‘why does he have to go this far?’ There were so many things I wanted to know. It’s as if he had to be considerate of others and continue to spread something to others.
‘Is it something like a good child complex?’
Anyway, I thought it would be suspicious if I asked too openly, so I decided to get close with them and go out with a sneaky luck operation.
‘Though, I’ve been only hearing stories about Serpence’s good deeds and them praising him.’
If I listened directly to it, I felt like I would be brainwashed into being one of Serpence’s fervent believer. I had no choice but to cut them off as the words flowed through one ear moderately. Just listening to it, it has more conciliatory power than most thieves.
I approached the maids first, but it seems that most of the maids who worked at that time had already retired.
‘No, why isn’t there even a common nanny?’
There were a few kitchen maids who had worked for more than 10 years. But since they stayed almost exclusively in the kitchen, no one knew what happened at that time.
‘Things that happen openly in places where people see them, like the bug incident, are likely to flow.’
Seeing that no one knew about it, they were good at making the servants keep their mouths shut, or maybe it happened when Serpence was younger than I expected.
‘Well, actually, it doesn’t matter what Serpence has been through in the past.’
It’s not that I don’t care about what happened to him. I just mean that there is no need to dig for information because I already know it. Still, why I’m asking around here is just a personal curiosity to know why they left the situation.
‘Actually, the main thing I’m asking about is the current Serpence.’
If I want to know his past in the first place, I can ask Hans or the older administrators.
The reason I don’t ask even though I know they know is because I don’t think they will give me an honest answer.
‘Above all, because their loyalty is directed toward the Prasidus family, not Serpence.’
It would be rather fortunate if it only ended with a warning and them telling Serpence. They might think I know something, and try to deal with me secretly, or even torture me to find out what I know and how.
‘Ugh, just thinking about that gives me goosebumps!’
Therefore, instead of those loyal to the Duke of Prasidus, I’m asking only the maids and servants who work for the current Duke Serpence and are moving around day and night. Shall I later ask Jack to see his luck on the subject of ‘Since what age did the duke have been so good’ and ask him to let me see his father, saying that I’m curious about Serpence’s background and growth?
‘But why does Serpence keep them around?’
Knowing a past that other people don’t know, instead, a different question arises. Putting all doubts aside, what I need now is an opportunity to get closer to Serpence.
‘I’m an aide, so I’ll stick around with him, so we’ll get to know each other over time?’
If I think like that, I will not be able to escape like Humanus. If only the time they spent together could get them closer, Humanus should have succeeded in becoming Serpence’s best friend before. The more favorable condition for me is that I know both the past and the future of Serpence?
I’m the only one who knows he’s fake.
‘Ugh. Do I have no choice but to bump into him directly?’
I sighed inwardly and loaded my things into the wagon. The logo of the Duke of Prasidus is drawn on it. I said I was going to stop by my house to move my luggage over the weekend, so Serpence gave it to me. How can a person be kind? He’s really like an angel.
-Slap-!
I slapped my cheek with my right hand. It was dangerous.
‘Is this what a thought infection is?’
Could it be because these days, while sympathizing with Serpence’s past, I also heard stories about his good deeds?
I wonder if these are symptoms of Stockholm Syndrome. However, since I’m self-aware, is it difficult to see?
‘Serpence is with the bad guys! A double personality! It’s a set-up!! Such suspense!’
I cursed Serpence inwardly, and remembered his appearances described in [Master of the Holy Sword]. I got goosebumps, but Serpence no longer felt like an angel. I tried to curse the owner who lent me the carriage, I felt a little bit of remorse, but what can I do?
I must keep my head straight in order to survive. Let’s not forget the purpose.
