132 < Chapter 24. cornerstone of understanding (3) >

The glow of the sunny lake in the morning is beautiful.

Today, it's only because of the restaurant on the second floor where Kalian and Plants are.

And there's only one reason why they come to the restaurant and eat.

"I heard the third started to learn swords."

It was because Remain suddenly informed me that he was going to come to Chermill Palace for breakfast.

Thanks to this, Kalian has to open his eyes to the sound of the bell ringing from the dawn. Plants wouldn't have made a difference.

And Randall didn't come out with a severe cold.

'Tell him I'll stop by after breakfast.'

Instead of denying Randell's attitude, Remain said: Since then, I've been eating without saying anything else and brought up the story of my sword training.

Plants quietly lowered his drink of water and simply replied.

"Yes, it is."

It's only been a day since I learned the sword. One night, to be exact. I fought twice the night before. The second duel ended without ever hitting the knife.

It ended up getting a little deeper than the first one at the same time as a flash of light.

"Yes. I'm glad you two are getting along."

We're good.

Calian and Plants' hands pause at the same time and then move again, leaving their eyes unchanged on the plate. Give the answer to Khalian.

I didn't think of the right words to express my relationship with my crazy brother. Or because I was worried that the only person in the world who could get along with such a madman would be Prince Cecretia.

I heard too much barking in addition to that, but I couldn't even say that my brother seems to be biting.

Calian glances at the plant and replies to Remain.

"Yes, we are very, very good."

Lies who say they can't do it can do it.

"It would be nice to see your brother's sword as well as your own training. Just be careful not to hurt each other."

Calian smiles inside.

'Suddenly, he came to me.'

After the duel between the brothers last night, I heard that Hina had found the training ground and came here because she was worried about Plants.

I like to break things, no. I'm going to see if I can get a better look at Kalian's good hands.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Don't worry about it."

Of course, I thought I knew the real reason why I wouldn't tell you, but Calian smiles, pretending not to.

Le Maine nods, relieved to see her smile glistening like a lake outside the window. And Plants just drank another sip of water.

You may not recognize it, but Calian knows very well how many words Plants is handing over right now like water. The tip of Calian's hand rests steadily on the leg, and a curve is drawn on the thigh. Laughing on behalf of the mouth that needs to be serious.

"Are you feeling better? I'm worried you're not overreacting."

After eating breakfast with such a healthy face, Remain finally asked me how many days passed since my third son died.

Instead of asking if the order of the questions had changed a bit, Calian replied with a voice telling him not to worry again.

"It's all healed."

· · · · · · Looks that way.

"That's a relief."

Fortunately, Remain looked at Kalian's eyes with a slightly different answer.

"Be careful that you never leave here alone, even when you're on probation."

Even the rigorous expression of caution shows that even when probation is lifted, the guardian will never be bitten. When Calian becomes a slightly dead face, Le Maine smiles slightly and adds to the horse.

"You're welcome to go to the Royal Forest. Walk if you feel frustrated."

"Yes, Your Majesty. Thank you."

"Yes."

I told you this because I thought of Kalian who couldn't stand for a poem like a puppy looking for her. A forest not so big north of the palace. Khalian and the old Khalian had never been there.

"But Plants. It looks thinner than last time I saw it. Do you feel any pain?"

"No, thank you."

"Eat well. It's time to grow up."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Calian turns away, smiling at the small talk.

Two red eyes flashed suddenly in front of the beautiful view outside the window.

'Ahh · · · · · · · · · ·.'

The smile on Calian's face disappears.

A typical morning. The beginning of the day as it did yesterday. Conversations with no hidden meaning. This moment was so peaceful that Calian almost missed something he shouldn't have forgotten.

- I would be so happy if you were here.

Calian stares at the window for a long time with almost as much apology as he would have liked. You stare at the jewel-like eyes of a bright window.

· · · · · · Kalian.

* * *

"Oww!"

The belly's going to shit again.

"I am Prince Kalian's cat, who prefers Prince Plants. '

The cat lifts its front foot and pulls Plants' hand. I'm sleepy, but I can't sleep. I want you to stroke it quickly.

Plants smiled as he sat on his knees to prevent his legs from twisting, wanting more than anything else. Then he slowly moved his hands and stroked the cat's head.

I was silently looking down at the two different colors of eyes that were loosely closed, and another sound came from the other side. It was the voice of my brother, who was completely different from the cry of his lovesick cat.

"Don't be too distressed by His Majesty's arrival."

Plants' words were always a little off, and Callian was always a little off. Plants responded in a low voice, looking at the intent of the words for a moment.

"Not really. I don't think so."

But the reason the conversation went so well was because the people who were talking were Calian and Plants. Perhaps this kind of conversation would not have continued so naturally if it had been others.

"Yes."

Anyway, Calian told me not to feel bad about Le Maine's visit.

The real reason why he stepped up like he was worried that he wouldn't come back when Callian or Plants was injured and was sick.

Randall.

Remain must have come to see Landel as an excuse for the second and third sons.

If that's not the case, there's no way that Plants is going to see Randall, who is sick, once he confirms that he's okay without being beaten by Callian.

That is why the Bible says, "Do not be sad."

That Le Maine came here for a reason.

"Aww · · · · · · · · ·."

The cat slurps again, making a soft noise about how Plants' hands had stopped. Plants' hands move again on the cat's roots, saying he won't even give you a cup of tea.

"But you were right to worry about him."

I can't believe Le Maine's changed.

Plants nods back, not denying.

"My brother is so fierce."

Then I frowned. I didn't feel so good because I cut one place twice. Plants, who has been silent for a while, stares at Calian.

It was because I also knew why Kalian came to Plants' room after breakfast and was bringing out words that seemed to care less about him.

Plants has a short mouth.

"Go ahead. Apologize."

"I'm sorry."

A quick, ready apology follows, and Plants nods.

That was it.

I didn't ask why.

Callian apologized for his mistake, and Plants received the apology, so there was nothing more he needed. Of course, if Hina had seen this now, it would have been ridiculous.

"When do you meet Prince Brissen?"

"Today."

Kalian nods.

"You know what I'm talking about, right?"

Kalian has yet to tell you another reason for blowing up the Haycia Palace. It was because I thought Plants would have already assessed it.

"I know."

Plants only replied like this:

Instead of asking and confirming what you know, Calian smiles slightly. Plants will take care of himself.

"If you do, learn from Kiri today. I have other things to do. And now Kiri is better than I am."

Kalian's sword is swift and sharp. Slayman's sword is heavy and powerful.

Plants was in the middle.

It's heavier than Calian's and more nimble than Slay's.

Because of this, Kiri was qualified for the first time. It was lighter and more agile than Plants, but heavier than Calian. Moreover, teaching someone would be a great help to Kiri.

Plants nods without another word.

* * *

The look on the Marquis Evan Brissen's face is not so good.

In the past year, I have suffered a lot like this, but none of them have suffered as much.

After Silica was demolished, the nobles who supported her turned their backs on one in ten. At the very least, holding onto the plant did its part. But then Grey crashed and Calian teamed up with Siegfried to make things worse.

Moreover, the incident was a major disaster in Brissen.

One in five.

One in five is getting out. You can see him hanging up and avoiding Evan.

- Balkan!

It was because of Kalian.

Le Maine's punishment was too mild because the Hessian palace collapsed in an instant. It would appear only to the nobles that Le Maine's affection for the Kalian was favored.

"This doesn't look good."

As soon as I saw Evan, Evan nodded without even knowing it.

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

"I have nothing to say to see Siegfried's elephant take advantage of me when I'm not old enough."

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

So at that time, Plants turned to Evan and asked him why he was crawling in there and distracting himself.

"I think I'll flip it over if I grab the sword. What do you think?"

"What are you going to do?"

If it were Calian, this would have been enough, but unfortunately Evan wasn't. Plants, who felt frustrated about adding unnecessary words, opened his mouth with an annoying tone and said the plan.

"Hand over control of Knights Karen and Raon to me. I'll split the Balkans in half."

Evan frowns slightly at his confident words. Plants saw it and said with a straight face.

"I don't believe you."

"No, my prince. Rather than not believing."

Evan hesitates for a moment.

And I began to think about what to do about it.

A smile was drawn on Evan's mouth, who had been thinking for a long time. Evan opens his mouth with a clumsy smile hanging over his mouth.

"I'll give you command of the Knights. Instead."

Evan looks at his heart and speaks.

"You can promise me with a seal of oath. that no matter what happens, I will not betray Brycen."

The seal of the oath.

A contract that condemns the heart of a man who breaks a promise.

"You mean stake my heart."

Evan was telling Plants to put his life on the line instead of giving him the scabbard. I wouldn't believe it if I didn't.

It's been a long time since I've seen a smile on Plants' mouth looking at Evan. It was a clear smile that resembled the silica of that one day.

"Do it."

Don't be silly.

It's not a waste.
