111 < Chapter 22, Don't touch me (2) >

- Tensyl meets the warrior of the Great Desert.

Just that moment, when Plants' eyes changed, the smile on Chase's face became even darker. And I opened my mouth without scattering that smile.

"My brother was very dull."

"Ha."

When Chase reached that point, a short laugh leaked from Plants' mouth. It was like that halfway between laughter and ridicule.

It's been very dull.

When someone hears you, they'll think that you're just Prince Charming.

Those who fight Kalian cut their throats together.

He broke his back to prevent Grey from entering Cairosis. Nearly fifty people died when I decided to do something to ease the suspicion of the late Evan Brissen. When he heard the situation from Kiri after what had happened, he replied that he knew without any surprises.

Raven follows Kalian for a reason.

There's a reason for all that crazy arsenic tailing Callian, too.

"I didn't realize you were so dull."

"I was so overwhelmed."

I don't think it's because you don't know what Kalian's up to. Chase would know a lot more about Calian's work than Plants.

That's why I laughed.

It was a smile that meant what it was like in the 'past'.

"I was wondering if that's why. I guess not."

Chase, who was not interested in the complex heart of Plants, said this heartfelt voice. As usual, Plants couldn't find his head or tail.

"It was a wonder that there were still three princes living in this Chermill palace."

"Thought your brother was gonna kill them and get rid of them."

Plants also understood the meaning of the words and the thorns in their words very well.

"It must be remarkable that my brother kept me alive."

"Yes, I thought so."

"I thought my brother had let me live because he was weak, but that means there was another reason."

"That's right. You're quick to notice, Prince Plants. Maybe that's why."

Understanding that Kalian was smart enough to keep her angry, Plants raised his voice, leaning against the couch.

"I should take that as a compliment."

"A compliment."

Plants can filter out the compliments from where to.

"Anyway, I think that's all you have to do. Tensyl and the Great Desert held hands."

"I wonder."

Chase, who had nothing more to say to each other, stood up quietly, and when he saw it, Plants opened his mouth.

"Why is my brother's old brother so quiet? My brother's on the move."

"Don't just stand there."

Kalian made it from Balkan for my life.

After that, I gathered wizards and knights, practicing my sword and magic, and preparing something very, very hard.

"It seems my brother is preparing more than just to ascend to the throne. I don't know why I don't do anything different than my brother."

It was clear that Kalian was up to something.

It was obvious to me that I was trying to raise my strength without destroying Cairys as much as possible.

If you just wanted a seat, you wouldn't have to sit around and fight. What could be easier for Kalian than to snap Plants and Randall's neck?

That's why I'm curious. If Chase knew anything like Khalian, he should have at least formed a group that looked like Balkans. But Cecretia's behavior was very ordinary. I just realized how many seizures there were, and there was nothing else special about them.

"Well, I don't know what to explain."

Chase opens his mouth like that.

Deep, sparkly eyes. However, like Randall, you look with insight, not sinning for the breath of a human being.

"That's not something I should touch."

Chase won't change a thing.

"I'm going to make the same decisions as before and make the same country. That way, my brother will be the only one with the power in his hand."

Plants nods without answering.

End of discussion. Chase tries to move his feet out of here. Then I opened my mouth to Plants to see if anything had come up.

"Lord Manasil seems to know the secret of my brother. Does anyone else know what's going on?"

"· · · · · · It would be quicker to ask who the stranger is."

Chase looks embarrassed for the first time.

The tail of one of the plants that saw it dries up.

Alan picked one of the tangerines in front of him and put it in his mouth.

Le Maine turned her eyes while looking at the document and opened her mouth, fixing the glasses she was wearing with her fingers.

"It must be a thread."

Alan's impression is deeply frowned.

I told him to put it in his mouth and wait for it to chew. It must have been the target.

Alan grumbled as he barely chewed the tangerine because he could not spit it out or swallow it.

"Don't smile."

Remain's face was covered with paperwork and he coughed for no reason.

Obviously, he smiled.

Immediately, Remain, who had the document covering his face, took off his glasses and got up from his seat. Then he sits across from Alan and looks at what happened.

"I heard you were going to gather knights. That's why they opened a hunting contest. But I didn't hear you say you were going to put them in the capital."

"That's why I'm bringing it to you."

I was on my way to get permission from Le Maine on behalf of Calian regarding what Callian asked of Slayman.

"I'm worried about the Knights gathered from eleven families. Knights can be different from wizards. I won't blindly follow Khalian like them. We can turn our minds away from Calian."

"The prince knows that. I also know that the battle against the Crown Prince could really spread into civil wars."

"Considering and speaking."

When Alan heard that, he looked at the tangerine.

"You can have one slice and many slices."

After all, it wasn't the knights that Kalian raised himself. Whether one family is gathered or several families are gathered, it is also dangerous. So Remain nods slightly, understanding that taking risks is the same.

Then Alan opens his mouth with a big smile.

"It's the same for you whether it's just Brissen or any other knights besides Brissen."

Oh, I see.

"Was it about my neck?"

Remain sighs a little.

Of course, Alan continued to ignore Remain's appearance.

Alan pulled another tangerine out and put it in his mouth. Then, just like before, I opened my mouth with a frown once more.

"If the day comes when they raise their swords against the palace, don't worry, your third son will be on the other side. One of my people is definitely a keeper."

And the word "Kalian" shouldn't go unnoticed by their betrayal. It was a workplace where everyone had already finished their worries.

"Nobles follow my legacy anyway. Then it shouldn't be difficult to follow the prince because it will continue to benefit them."

"Yes, but I can't help but worry. I'll think about it and give you an answer by tomorrow."

"I understand. Do that."

Le Maine couldn't help but listen to Allen. That was her answer. Alan nods softly because the answer was expected anyway.

"I've never seen a tangerine like this before, by the way."

It was not a metaphor for something, it was really tangerine. The tangerine, which still has a blue light, was hard to find a sweet taste.

"It was brought to you by the prince of Cecritia."

"So is this a Cecretian tangerine?"

"There's no way the prince of Cecretia's coming up with something foreign."

It's the tangerines of Cecretia.

Even Chase brought tangerines.

At the end of Remain's description, tangerines on the table disappeared into the basket.

He asked Remain why he was staring at what he couldn't even eat, making his eyes look round.

"Your Majesty, please eat something else."

Would Chase have walked all the way to the conservation magic to eat Remaine and brought tangerines? Of course not. Alan smiled gladly as he thought of bringing all those great tangerines to his beautiful pupil.

Uriah was truly a wizard.

I was extremely curious about the stone that Kalian sent out.

"You mean you have the power to make time right?"

"Incorrect. That's my guess."

It allowed Shia to correct the order of her answers and to flow through time tied to undigested roses.

It had no effect on Kalian who traveled back in time, but it seemed right to have to do with 'time' if you look at Sia and her son.

In light of that, Kalyan kept Alan informed of the details.

It was Serenti's intervention. It was also a matter of the Kalian individual that was completely different from the royal palace fights, because he didn't want to borrow the power of the wizards and Euria until now.

"Time. Interesting power. I don't know what it is."

Of course, Euria also had a share in the idea that she would not know anything. Uriah shakes her head at the stone inscription, as Calian predicted.

"I've heard that there are some forgotten texts in Cecretia, but is it not?"

"No, I've already looked into that."

Isn't that the language that Kalian himself knows? Calian shakes his head in remembrance of the unrivaled descent.

Soon Uriah brought all kinds of theology books from the library. Callian raises one of them in a funny voice.

"Surprisingly, a seminal war in the Wizard's Library. I thought wizards didn't believe in Serenti."

"It would be different to deny what you don't believe. We wizards are not like the Temple of Tensyl. We do not deny Serenti's survival. Most of all, the Sispanians were there. So every wizard learns all the details of Serenti, Prince."

The memory of the old Khalian did not include detailed knowledge of the Crusade, but also of Serenti. That was all I learned in Prince's class. It was because he had mastered magic by self-study.

Euria, who picked up a piece of paper and pen and copied the inscription and stone on Calian's stone, asked.

"Roselita period, and Sting and Nerica territory? It was owned by an elf boy named Luca."

"Yes, that's right."

"Very well. From here on out, my prince. So go back to the palace. We'll let you know if anything comes up."

Callian chuckles. I looked with my eyes at why Uriah did it.

"I'm having fun. I don't think I've been doing anything lately. Everyone tells me to just go."

"Just like the Prince himself."

Uriah smiles and replies.

"The prince is a doer, not a mover."

"That's why. I don't know."

Kalian nods, missing anything more to help Euria. And he added one caution.

"When I first acquired the stone, the smell of blood was profound. You'd better be careful, because someone lost their life."

"Yes, I understand. Don't worry."

Euria knew exactly what the knights' blood smelled like. Therefore, Uriah nodded as if she understood well.

* * *

I met Slayman this morning and came to the Wizard's Society.

On my way back to Eyria and Melpire, I met Xia and returned to the Association. And I talked to Urea for a long time.

Then it became a night.

"Ah."

After coming out, Kalian sounds embarrassed to learn that time had passed.

"Jan will be worried."

He was going to be there soon, so he left without telling me where he was going and without Kiri. They must be desperate, or they could be sending people all over the place to question hydrogen.

When the embarrassing light flashed on Calian's face, Raven, who was walking leisurely, took a quick walk on her own. Calian feels it and strokes Raven's mane as if it were scattered. As Raven walked towards the royal city on her own, Calian pressed down on the hood and spent some time there.

"Wait, Raven."

This time, Calian stops Raven.

And I looked up and had a funny face. It was because I felt well hidden that Raven didn't stop.

Cairosis was broad.

Everywhere there was a quiet place.

In such a secluded place, several figures were slowly approaching towards the prince's black horse who recognizes him. It was during the festival of Cairosis, so many visitors came. Because by day, it's Shia, and by night.

"What brings you here?"

I remembered the light of seeing something very good in the red eyes.

"· · · · · · The Warriors of the Great Desert."

His smile darkened as he felt their unique jealousy towards him.
