104 < Chapter 20. This time (6) >

Maybe Le Maine's death is a heart attack in this lifetime.

Even if there is a blessing from the Sispanians, I think something will happen to Remain's heart at this point. Alan picks up a slice of strawberry pie and eats it, looking like he's found a very interesting spectacle.

Le Maine sighs and grumbles.

"Does the food go into your mouth now?"

"Coming in."

Alan nods, nodding as if there was nothing to worry about.

Le Maine's office, which hated sweets, always had sugary snacks because of the wizard who sometimes came and ate sweet things. Isn't it the Wizard's way of feeding you hard every time you come?

However, unlike Allen's calm mind, Remain's mind was not as comfortable today as it was today. Allen, who saw it, kicks his tongue open.

"This is why I think the main character of the birthday celebration is right. Why is your face so puffy?"

"Would it make you feel better if two out of three went out again?"

It was because of news that Raul had left a while ago.

Plants and Calian go riding out on horseback with no attendants.

Alan looks at the piece of pie with his delicious eyes and opens his mouth as if to ask, "Where did you get this pie?"

"The princes are not going to lose any of them, as Lord Brissen is not so quick to think. Don't worry."

"I can't believe you lost one. I really don't know what to do with that mouth."

"You can leave it alone. Leave your two sons alone."

Now Allan is wrong about what Remain is worried about. So Remain frowned and said.

"No. It's not you I'm worried about."

Second, I handled the sword well.

The third one is probably okay to throw in the Great Desert.

So it wasn't the safety of the two sons that Le Maine was worried about.

"Earl Brissen is the one who cares."

The second personality is fierce, but the third is a little.

Especially the third one in front of Brissen.

"Wouldn't it be worrying if you only met Brysen and Calian, who destroyed one, went to see Evan himself?"

"We don't have time to fight yet, so why don't you stop making excuses and come sit down?" "

Alan smiles softly and points to the chess board in front of him, as if he understood. The reason why he started this fight was because Remain looked so deep about Randall.

Later, Grand Chamberlain Raul left with news of the princes.

Then Remain walked to the window, terrified to hear it, and began to sigh.

Just a couple more, and Allen's victory is assured.

That's not why Le Maine isn't out in front of Alan. Still, Le Maine wouldn't say that. He said he had an excuse, but Alan believed him.

"Prince Randall will arrive soon."

- Knock knock.

As you click Allen's horse, you hear Raul's voice saying that Randall has arrived.

In response, Remain said that he had to rush Randall as if he had waited. Then he looks at Alan and opens his mouth.

"It's a shame our First Prince is here, but we'll have to put it back another time."

It must be Allan's mistake to feel a smile on Remain's voice like that.

It can't be Le Maine.

* * *

- Polygon.

The black horse that showed its elegant appearance and thought that he was only one Khalian higher than me in the whole world entered the mansion of the late Evan Brysen.

And soon Evan and Calian met again.

Of course, Evan also heard what the two princes did yesterday. The two allies had not been informed in advance by Plants. I was embarrassed and came to Evan like this without notifying him.

It was nice to meet you. I didn't need this kind of greeting. Therefore, Evan asked first:

"What brings you to Prince 3rd?"

It was a different attitude than when Evan met Calian in the palace before he joined Plants.

It was because of the unfavourable appearance that Kalian had shown against Evan at the time and the grudge that he had taken away his gambling den.

Even if you have come to see Randall, it is not a step without a purpose. That's why Calian immediately opened his mouth and explained why he came.

"Seems like you came back yesterday without holding a supper. Is that right?"

"Should I get permission from Prince 3rd?"

Evan openly asked me, expressing his expression as if it didn't matter whether I came back or not.

Calian turns his head to look at Plants, smiling slightly.

Thoughtful Plants knew very well what his role here would be. So, like a barley bag I had left, I was staring out the window without a word.

Calian looks back at Evan and replies.

"I heard you left the palace as soon as the middle aristocratic gathering was over yesterday."

Neither Slayman nor Evan were at the dinner yesterday, so Remain was sitting alone for a while.

"Yes, but I've already informed the palace, and I have nothing more to say about him."

"Isn't that strange?"

"What is wrong with you?"

"You must have a lot of questions about what happened yesterday, and you left in such a hurry."

Evan stares at Kalian unanswered, and Kalian speaks.

"Yesterday, I left the midst of a meeting with a central nobleman. I don't know about the other nobles, but the Grand Duke must want to know why. It's my position to keep an eye on me and Brother Randall. But he went home, so he thinks it's a little unfamiliar. It shouldn't hurt that someone on the way to the sword so soon."

"That's the only reason you came all the way out to the palace."

"If that's all, I wouldn't be here."

Evan nods as if to keep talking, and Calian's words continue.

"Even though I announced my alliance with Brother Plants at the dinner yesterday, I am stuck in this house. I have to ask."

Arsen said there were no people in or out of Evan's house.

Evan knew the importance of the news.

When the gambling director's incident happened, he didn't report it to Evan right away. So Evan was too quiet to check on the situation all night.

Calian's red eyes fill with a sharp glow.

"At this time when Brother Randall called the Grey Bricen Change Bag to the capital, he was confined to the house like a man who couldn't leave his house in time. Why is it in my eyes? I came back once I had a hard time leaving the house for a long time and hid something big enough to make me curious."

"It is."

"That's why I came. Like this."

Evan shuts up.

Callian lowers his cup of tea.

"Grey Brissen, send it back. Don't hide it."

"You don't know what you're talking about."

Evan shows no change in his face. It was like I had never heard this story before in my life.

He was convinced that he was right.

"It won't help the duchess if you convince someone to call in Randall and stick him next to you."

Evan shuts up without saying anything else.

That seemed positive to Callian.

Calian hasn't felt Grey's error the whole time he's been in this house. I heard you couldn't recover from the power failure. Of course, Evan didn't know that, but he thought Grey's power had grown stronger.

So he could not leave the house for more than half a day. In case Grey decides otherwise. Maybe Brissen was always like that.

Calian gives Evan a moment to think. He looks at Evan with a meaningful face.

"Besides, you won't be as talented as you used to be if your back is broken. I don't know if he was good enough to come out."

Evan's eyebrows raised when he heard that.

After listening to Kalian, Plants turns his head away from the window.

It wasn't because Callian didn't have a good attitude.

Evan said in a low tone.

"I didn't tell her I broke my back. The status of the change bag is not only a 'massive injury that is impossible', but we haven't told you exactly where and how you got hurt. How do you know that?"

"I had to know."

- Cheers.

Khalian nods, saying it's no big deal. He takes another sip of tea and lowers it. Then I opened my mouth in a bold voice.

"Because I did it."

Evan forgot what he was going to say for a while. Plants then turns his head back out the window, raising the tail of one mouth.

The reason why Kalian told us this was simple. To restrain Evan from making any sudden movements that he doesn't know about Kalian's power level. If Randall and Calian are struggling with each other, we'll be in trouble if we raise our feet to Randall.

Of course, Evan knew he wouldn't be angry about it otherwise. For Evan now, Grey was no more than a young Griffin seeking his place in Hostamtam before becoming a child.

Evan looks like he's deciding what to say.

Since we didn't have to wait and listen, Calian gives you a scolding look.

"You don't know what Brother Randall is after and you don't know what he's calling a change bag for, but you believe what he's trying to put next to you."

After putting it all out like that, Kalian gets up from his seat as if he's done talking. Then he looked down at Evan, who was still sitting, and told him the last thing.

"Don't leave the white matter blank, send it now."

* * *

After leaving Evan's house, Calian sits on Raven's throne, his eyes lowered and he doesn't say a word.

Raven was able to reach the palace on her own, and Plants didn't feel the need to speak to Calian first. Thus, Kalian was able to return to the entrance of the palace as it is.

Calian stopped Raven at the entrance and then looked at Plants.

"I'm going to see Lord Seyren. Sir, please go in first."

The School of Magic had to go back some time. So if they had split up at Evan's house, they would have been able to get there a little earlier.

Nevertheless, returning to and fro of the royal palace seemed to have taken care of Plants' escort in Calian's own way.

Why not? Plants nods without any answer and enters the palace. You hear Raven drifting away as you diversify behind such plants.

A moment later, Plants pauses and recalls Calian's story.

'Cause I did it.'

"Ha."

Soon, a short smile came from Plants' mouth.

Plants didn't care who broke Grey's waist, who didn't even know her face.

The reason I laughed was because I couldn't figure out where the reckless confidence and protuberance that came out in front of Evan.

"What a great brother you have here."

After this muttering walk forward, Plants stops again shortly. That's why someone greeted him in front of him.

"Here I am again, Prince Plants."

I will face you once a day in this vast palace.

What a coincidence.

One of Plants' mouths twists toward the prince next door, smiling like his magnificent brother.

* * *

Calian came back to the royal palace after meeting Euuria for a while because he and his older brother had met again.

I had time until nightfall, so I was going to the training ground.

I haven't practiced magic or sword in days, and if I'm alone in a quiet room, I won't have to think about it again.

Calian arrives in front of Chermill Palace, making such plans, and steps down from Raven. Then you hand Raven's scepter over to Chermill and turn around.

At the same time, you see a long smile on Callian's face.

It was because I saw the deep blue eyes that were staring at Khalian while standing on the side of the artificial lake.

I was going to find Randel, but I think he was waiting for Calian on Randall's side. Thanks to this, the effort to climb the wall up to the fifth floor has been reduced.

"You're in a hurry."

Calian mutters quietly, taking a swift step in front of Randell.

Randall nods and walks ahead. I didn't say anything else, but it was clear that I wanted to go for a walk again, so Calian followed me without giving up.

After passing by the Sispanian statue in the middle of the lake, all the trails along the lake also reached the rose garden. Then Randall's mouth opens.

"Let's walk together for a while."

Calian's steps halt.

Callian is already walking with Randall.

"That usually comes from things that go back and forth."

"Did you just need to walk back and forth with me?"

"You really don't mean to walk or walk together. That's holding hands."

"You're getting it."

Callian looks at Randall with a smile that even Randall can't fathom.

"If you want to hold hands, you'll need something to give and receive. Shouldn't there be more visible power than just Tensyl, like my Balkan or Brother Plants?"

"You're not wrong."

"I think he said that because he has something to give in return for what is mine, but am I wrong?"

"He's not wrong either."

"Do you have the Buddha in mind?"

"Yes."

He didn't even have to speak first.

Randall has just told me who the High Septon is.

"Thirty synagogues have found Cairis. It doesn't have to be a true neophyte, so I thought it might be a tribute or an assassin, but it's not that kind of power. It means they have the power to do business with the Balkans."

I was forced to think.

There are only 30 of them, but a group that could help Randall. Those who can be healed and scattered throughout Cairis will become the swords of Randall at the same time.

"· · · · · · · Like a holy knight."

Tensyl's sacred knight.

Randall stops and looks at Calian.

Randall said to his younger brother, who was growing up and adjusting his freezing eyes.

"I think you've grown too much."

"Don't keep saying that. It sounds like you've been taking care of her."

Calian reaches out quietly.

And it points to the Rubia Coffin where the Messengers will be staying, where the Thirty Shrines will be staying.

"Don't be greedy to get to me. Put your sword away right now." "

As long as I knew I was the one who was smuggling my sword into the palace, I had no intention of holding hands.

"Before you kill them all."

Calian's lively eyes stare into Randall's profound eyes.

< Chapter 21. Behind the Abyss (1) >

Just before Callian met Randall.

Plants frowns slightly and stops himself from looking at his teeth.

"What's wrong with my brother's famous brother?"

Chase smiles as if he swallowed something he wrote, but does not answer.

Now Chase was alone.

I don't know why, but I don't see the article Tailan has always been with me. In addition, I did not leave the other knights or attendants with me. and then naturally stepped in front of Plants as if they were waiting for Plants.

"I was waiting for Prince Plants."

"Why."

"I have some questions, and I want to talk to you."

"I think you're alone."

"Yes. I snuck out. Escort is annoying."

What a nuisance.

You must have really cared about Cairis.

I don't care if Remain changes his mind and becomes a Volmo or if Randall's hidden things attack. A sudden thought like this made Plants smile.

'Who cares who.'

Callian just took Plants to the palace and left again. I don't know, but there's no one like Plants in Cairysis that's dangerous when you're alone.

Anyway, Chase looks at Plants on the horse with a calmer face.

Plants didn't know it, but he'd probably be impressed if Alan saw it. It was the same look on his face the first day he met her.

- Get off first. I need to talk to you.

You know, this look.

Of course, whether he knew the resemblance to Khalian or not, Plants' mood would not have changed that much. It's because I already felt very bad just because I met someone I didn't like.

"You interfered with Balkan. I wonder if you still have something to say."

After washing his eyes and not being able to find it, Plants jumped out of the horse with a light tease.

It was already a lot to experience the day before what Plants said anyway. So Chase smiled and replied with a smile as if it was nothing.

"Your name is Senou Coffin, correct? There's a good place to walk."

"That's right."

"Can I talk to you for a second?"

You look around, expressing that Plants isn't full. There was just something on his face that wanted to ask him if he shouldn't say it here.

- Polygon.

However, I saw a wagon coming into the palace as if it were the answer to the thought.

In the middle of this endless driveway, the prince of Cecretia and the second prince of Cairis can't even talk.

And while we were talking, I thought maybe Calian could come. As far as I'm concerned, Plants gives you a slight nod instead of asking why you should go with him.

"Whatever."

Then he handed the horse to a nearby knight and started walking in front of Jerbuck Jerbuck.

Chase was speechless the whole time.

Of course, Plants was the same.

Those who encountered the middle plant quickly drifted away, showing examples. It's quiet nowadays, but I'm worried that Plants might be distracted. Chase looks at it and smiles quietly, pretending he didn't hear it.

Soon, the two of them entered the canal of Senho side by side.

Now, between the gradually growing trees, Plants and Chase's mouth open at the same time.

"So."

"One thing."

Tsk, tsk, and tongue-tied Plants nods at Chase. It meant to say it first.

"I have a question for you."

Plants nods and Chase speaks.

"Prince Kalian, I saw an error two days ago, but I didn't see it yesterday. I heard that from Sir Castrin. Do you know anything about it? I was worried that there was a problem."

"Seeing you worried."

Plants stops speaking, smiling.

I came all the way to Cairys because I was worried and kept waiting for me to come back. Seeing that, he was like a brother to me. I was going to say that.

And I just nodded and replied.

"Magic. One must never know how short my brother's sword is."

"The Marquis of Brissen."

"Yes."

I wonder if it's true that he's talking to the people of Cecritia. I don't know anything.

After Chase leaves, Plants nods, thinking he needs to step out and catch some birds first.

"I had to hide it from Earl Brissen, so I hid the error from Lord Castrin. Rather be vigilant towards Sir Castrin."

"You don't have to be on your side."

Chase's pace is slow.

You learn what the consequences of an accident were for Kalian to hide his error from you.

Soon Chase looked at Plants.

It was obvious that I couldn't say anything. Plants, who understand very well what you're talking about, is annoyed.

"My brother knows."

Chase's feet stop.

Plants continues to speak out of frustration.

"My brother knows that my brother knows who he is. I know, but I'm trying to guide you, my brother."

Do you think Callian told me that?

Why don't you know what I just noticed?

More than that, why am I saying this?

Can't you two just meet?

What the hell are you doing to me?

Rather than being angry, Plants simply moved his jerky feet next to Chase without saying a word to go around the Senho Coffin.

What are you trying to say?

He's got that face.

* * *

When Bern was only ten years old.

Devilan, king of Cecritia, has taken his two sons out to sea. Then he threw Bern into the middle of the vast ocean.

I saw what Chase, the concubine's son, thought of Bern, the queen's son, and I acted with fear for Bern the king.

Bern, who had been through the sand castles with Chase, did nothing but drown in the depths of the sea. Chase sees it and leaps over Bern without hesitation. Chase couldn't swim.

After all, Knight Tailan has rescued both of them, and since then, Bern has treated Devil like a lifelong enemy.

It wasn't because he drowned himself.

It was Chase who almost died because of Devil Lane.

Anyway, the reason why Kalian suddenly came up with this was because of Randall. No, it was actually Randall's eyes.

Calian's fiery eyes look at Randell's watery eyes, and he opens his mouth with a steady voice.

"Yes."

The eyes of Randall were like the sea that day.

If you look at it, you will be immeasurably engrossed.

Thus, he made me feel the last moment that I had to let go of even the faintest breath that I had ever followed.

Calian shines in the eyes of Randall.

A young child who was struggling to survive every day was crawling down to the back of Randell, hiding deep and deep. Suddenly, he was a completely different person, and now he was trying to take Randall's breath away.

"I've always wondered."

Randall breathes a short breath.

It's because she lives in Calian's eyes. The red eyes, without any emotion other than killing, were constantly flooding Randall's Maw.

"How have you changed so much?"

"Thanks to you."

Kalian is not very good at lying.

The answer was also not false.

Therefore, Calian's life, which was aimed solely at Randall, was also no lie.

"Do you know what you've done? You brought the holy knights of Tensyl into the royal palace with foreign armies."

Randall smiles.

It was not a laughingstock or a malicious laugh. It was not a forced smile to forget to live.

It was a perfectly meaningless smile.

After seeing that smile, Kalian nearly slaughtered Randall for a moment. If I had not committed to live as Callian, I would have raised my sword completely without rational judgment if Randall hadn't been constantly repeating my bloodline.

How human.

How can you be so insensitive?

"I know."

Calian, who thought of the sea that day, was now thinking of the Sispanian on a day of unfolding. Now Randall resembles the Sispanians very much since he recalled Calian's memory. The same way that he 'understands' everything about Kalian and Bern without any emotion.

The Sispanian learned a lot of 'human' things from her companion Hartsara. But with Hatsuara's death, I also lost what I had learned from him.

Kalian lost a lot of things.

- Is that what you lost, too?

I had such a bad idea for a moment.

After knowing what he was doing with my sword in the palace, Kalian abandoned his thoughts and opened his mouth again.

"Bite me. Before I go." "

"If you go, what can you do?"

"I told you. I can kill them all."

It was a warning.

In fact, it was a warning.

Randall was supposed to be "unknown" to him. They are, in principle, the priests.

One of them must have an identity certificate named Malcolm Chetish. And, of course, he would never have entered the palace with a weapon.

"I don't think you can really do this. There's no evidence."

"You've seen how far I can go."

"Your wizards have the same purpose. So they are not harmful to you and the king."

"You mean to just ignore them, as they were brought in to ward off Brissen."

A heavy voice comes from Calian's mouth.

"The same goal doesn't mean that Tensyl's knights are the same as Balkans. Even if Brother Randall is telling the truth by conceding a hundred concessions, he'll take Tensyl's knights to defeat Brissen. It's unacceptable. If you're so proud, don't hide it. With the right cause, the right way."

The Balkans were an army that Calian created at the risk of his own life. It was made with Le Maine's permission.

"Brissen's change bag should already be on its way. If you wanted to get rid of them first, it was too late."

Speaking of Grey Brissen, Randall looks at Calian again. This time, Kalyan did not avoid Randall's gaze.

Calian's eyes glow sharply.

Now I know exactly what I've been hiding.

"Have you been deceiving me and Brother Plants by calling the change bag to Cairosis and emptying the change hundreds? In the meantime, to get the holy knights of Tensyl to make a change."

If there were thirty holy knights, the Unsullied Knights of the White March wouldn't be so difficult a match.

When Grey returns to the White Shepherd, she will be no more. Even if only twenty of the thirty survived against the White March knights, the Greys would stand a chance.

If we don't get rid of Grey, removing the troops from the change bag will do a lot of damage to Brycen, so the first attempt would have been enough. Khalian didn't know if it was going to be an all-out war with Brysen or even if it was going to take Balkans' power with it, with further support from Tensyl.

Whatever it is, it's impossible for Tensyl's knights to enter Cairys, so I had to stop them now.

"For the second time, I'm surprised you found out."

"Brother Plants isn't the only one with eyes and ears. It's not just about deceiving Mr. Plants."

"I didn't think you'd stop me."

"I'm sorry you didn't know."

Or maybe Callian didn't know.

Or maybe he didn't think he'd stop them if he knew.

"I'll send the knights back. Instead."

Randall smiles again.

And I looked at Callian.

Randall reaches out quietly to examine the rose vines. Then I broke a rose branch that had grown particularly hideous. A rose that has just begun to bloom is in Randell's hands.

You feel anxious.

"Don't grow too much, don't walk away."

Calian's eyes narrow and Randall's hands glow red briefly. And the rose, like the one that disappeared from Calian's hand one day.

- Pass.

Lost their lives and withered.

It splits apart like ashes left on fire.

The calm voice of Randel is always towards Calian.

"It's not good to see."

Kalian watches the dried-up roses disperse without a word. I was just watching it all disappear. After that, you look back at Randall.

That's what Randall was saying.

A capable brother who can be useful to support his future king. Live like that. If you do that, I'll let you live.

Kalian's red mouth draws a long wire.

"Camelon's going to have a dog."

I've decided never to listen to Randall.
