185 < Chapter 32. My Sword (5) >

Sharp.

If Kalian's sharpness is like a hidden scepter, Bern's sharpness is like a giant blade that he threw away to swing at anytime.

Chase's sharpness was like the gaze of a falcon piercing a mouse's heart. It's not cutting and hurting sharpness. It's sharpness that determines exactly who the target is or what the target is.

That is, insight.

'I don't know if you already know, but there are times when the smell of blood feels dark from the prince.'

I already knew that some people disappeared one day without a sound. I knew why he disappeared, and I knew who was behind it.

Devil.

Chase was well aware of how Devil reigned over the nobles. But...

I didn't know who Devil was wielding the sword. I couldn't even imagine.

You can't be a father.

"I can't wait to see it. '

It took me too long to hear that message.

I've been watching for years, and now I'm telling you that, and then you're his teacher. I didn't blame Tailan for that.

I understood that I wouldn't believe it.

Chase was also a cub of a snake, the son of Devil.

He took a pledge of allegiance from my brother and climbed to the top of the charter. So, I found that Chase could not open his mouth quietly because he might be different from the outside. Tailan recognized that his intervention had only been watched in fear of swelling over Bern as a greater wave.

Chase didn't blame Tailan for that.

Chase regretted not having committed such a great sin that he could hardly blame anyone.

Like this.

You can call me brother.

'Everyone makes mistakes. I don't think you're that perfect. I don't know what you did wrong, but you have to fix what you did wrong. Do you have time?'

Arianne's words were always sharp, and she immediately regained her senses by cutting the blade on them. Examined and more precisely insighted

I made my decision.

- A voodoo master in the Rattlesnake Den is heading for Nebulad's big nest.

By then, Devil was ill.

I didn't know when it started, and my illness got worse every day.

A throne that was born as the son of a concubine and hardened the throne of three wives and other mothers. Devilan, who didn't want to lose his precious throne so much, eventually ignored the royal law and called in Tensyl's healer.

Devilan's bird was carefully gathered to inform Chase that the healer was headed to Cecretia.

'Sir Castrin.'

'Yes, Your Highness.'

'I don't want the blood of a traitor treading on my land.'

Chase decided to keep the law, not Devil. It was Chase's choice and decision to protect his brother from his father.

If I met a healer, I might be able to fix it. If not, it might have ended a little less painful, a little quicker.

"Healer. I cleaned it all up. '

But nothing in the world is perfect.

There can be no such thing as a completely innocent white.

'Father.'

Chase is a good boy.

Chase was also the cub of the snake, the son of Devil.

* * *

- I've got a little more time on my mind.

The answer did not come back immediately. Chase said it again.

- I sent a letter to the falcon's side, but he seemed to be waiting, so I contacted him in advance. We'll send you a letter with more details.

I remembered the letters written on the axis of time. But as Bern did, Chase couldn't read it either. So it was not something I could explain in words because I thought about it. Nevertheless, I just had a conversation.

Or I'll call you when there's no reason. So just...

- · · · · · · · I'm worried that you didn't overdo it.

Instead of saying thank you and saying you're sorry, Calian worries. I did not hide my concern.

I could hear Kalian's voice right next to me.

I was concerned that I had been contacted sooner than I thought. It's obvious that I don't remember it well, but I think it's too much to remember. Maybe it reminds me of a memory I don't like.

Chase tries to tell you not to worry, nodding softly.

- Actually, a different memory came to mind. It wasn't pleasant, so I was a little surprised, but I didn't shake it any more.

Chase picked up a cup of tea and opened his mouth for a moment to recall an unexpected memory.

- Knowing that I would still have made the same choice, even if I was facing the same thing now.

Bern would be the same.

If Bern had, he would have made the same choice and walked the same path without worrying. So Chase was the same.

I don't even remember what Devil did that was so cruel. For some reason, I thought I might have done something like that.

Nevertheless, there was no disappointment or insult to what he had made and done, because Chase knew the shade of Bern himself, but he did not want to hide behind it and shine alone.

Even if it was a clear mistake, he wouldn't regret it twice. That was Chase's belief in himself.

- So don't worry. It's okay.

Callian felt a little unfamiliar hearing about this. It was because I had no idea what Chase had chosen and what was not pleasant.

Is it a story about the axis of time, or something else? I thought about it for a moment, but I heard Chase say it again.

- I saw Arianne in my memory, and I was even more shocked that she was talking so harshly.

Callian laughs without my knowledge.

Arianne was the one who taught Bern how to turn others inside out. Not as much as Alan, who took Serenti's glory, but Arianne was also a pretty decent mouthpiece. And it was Bern who learned to use it and develop it, and made it known to Arianne again.

As a result of such interactions, words must have been more harsh in the past than they are now.

- I wonder how it's going now.

Instead of informing her that it was also due to Bern's absence, Calian only replied like this. You don't have to tell me.

It was not necessary to confirm that Bern's vacancy was revealed to anyone who could protect Chase now.

- The horse is still only slightly less sharp. You still fight well, you scold well, you soothe well, that's it.

Calian nods silently, thinking it's a good thing.

Chase continues.

I contacted her for no reason, but I had too much to say.

- Sir Castrin has been informed.

Oh, I see.

Thank goodness.

Really, thank God.

- I thought about it somehow if I didn't believe you, but luckily, I don't think I'm crazy. So I could barely stand up and go to Cairosis.

Kalian laughs.

You smile because you know Chase's work well and only have one person to stand by, and you laugh because the thing that nearly stopped the First Sword of the Continent is gone.

- Thank you, sir.

So Callian said:

It also meant thanks for not being sick alone but out of your mouth, and it also meant thanks for sticking up for that strong Tailan.

Tailan would be a great force. Like Alan.

- Lord Castrin said so. I also said thank you for telling me what I did. He said he really liked his ending and that he was thankful for letting me know. I said thank you again, but I forgot all about it.

I forgot to say I cried.

I'm still a teacher of the past, but I have to give him dignity.

Bern was twenty-one years old when he climbed into the path of the sword.

I didn't even say thank you for letting me know that Tailan had raised an outstanding disciple two years before his time.

It was because I knew why Bern had to become a sorcerer so quickly, but no matter how much I told him, I realized that Tailan couldn't remember the name 'Bern'. That's why I couldn't tell Callian.

- There's something else I didn't tell Prince Kalian in Cairosis.

Chase tapped the table for a moment.

In fact, there were quite a few things in Cairosis that Chase did not tell Callian. I gave up everything and really tried to kill Plants, I met Randall in Chermill and warned him not to warn him, I saw Arsen and I told him my mind was complicated, and I told him I thought Plants might have forgotten it. And so on and so forth, quite a lot.

- He took the sword. He took it. I want to give it back if I'm right.

A white steel sword worn by Bern.

The sword worn by Knight Bern Neria, the husband of the great king of Cecritia. Unlike Bern now, he took his sword to give Kalian a truly memorable hero by the will of his name.

But I couldn't hand it over.

It's too harsh, isn't it?

Calian chuckles, wondering if you know what that means. Then he replied with a voice that he really didn't mind.

- I'm using a different sword. So I hope it's for Prince Chase to use.

At this point, Chase looks a little surprised. It's because I never told you that I was learning to use the sword. You look down at the bracelet with a surprised face, though it is not a face that Kalian can see.

When there was no answer, Calian said it again.

- I knew it when you gave me coffee. Thinking about it, I was too relaxed to be alone without an escort. So...

You saw the calluses on Chase's hands.

- But around me, there's a crazy wizard who wants to break a sword. It's kind of crazy to explain, but if you run into it, please don't let it out. I hope it doesn't break this time.

Arsen Hertz.

I didn't hesitate to tell him about it. So Chase was relieved again.

I felt like I wasn't standing alone in a place as horrible as I thought.

- The blue-haired wizard. I'll be careful, Prince Kalian.

Chase also knew that he wasn't as terrible as he thought, and even remembering the name made him feel a little cooler.

- · · · · · · · Name.

Callian says:

And it didn't last for a while.

It was only when Chase put down the cup three times that he drank it.

- Name, you can call me whatever you want.

Don't put up with this conversation that no one can even listen to. The name was put down by Calian, so Chase didn't have to share it.

Chase grins.

I like the way it smells like mint in the coffee I drink after a long time.

- Drinking. I'll do that. Later.

The laughter of Kalian is heard.

Soft voice followed.

- On the beach.

On the beach.

* * *

He laughs as he groans and laughs as he groans.

I think my brother is really strange.

No, it's weird.

Anyway.

I don't care if it's weird or crazy or smiling or not.

This was my room.

When their conversation about cleaning dishes didn't end, I was wondering when I would kick out my weird little brother who was my brother, who was my brother, right, but he was my brother.

- Knock, knock.

I heard a knock.

When I asked him to come in on behalf of my brother, who had finished the construction, I turned around and saw that he was alone. I got in the car a little later than usual, and it seemed like there was no yarn, so I thought that something else between the servants might have happened for a while. Plants, who was sitting so reluctantly, frowned slightly.

Coffee aroma.

- Cheers.

Chocolate-covered dessert was placed on the half of the dried tangerine. And he puts down a drink that would go very well with the sweet and sour one.

Yeah, it is.

It was a coffee with the same color as chocolate.

After the conversation, Calian's gaze reached the coffee, looking at the ring that no longer shines.

"Don't."

And Plants said,

I'm asking you to bring me something other than coffee.

As a result of her efforts, Raleigh immediately understood what she was talking about and came to get her coffee back.

When Calian sees it, he raises his hand slightly.

"No, thanks. Thank you."

Thanks to you, Leek sends his regards twice without a hitch. Then he leaves.

The prince on the third floor says thank you, with such an interpretative look on his face. Jan found out that he had brought coffee to Kalian, and he didn't know how upset Jan was.

By the time you hear Léric closing the door, you look at Plants with a very surprised look on his face. I never drank coffee in front of Plants, but I also didn't see anything I disliked because I had never drank.

Calian quietly raised his hand, drank a cup of coffee and put it down.

"My brother, if you know that much, I won't starve anywhere."

"Don't bark. Get out."

Kalian, who had one bite of dried Tangerine Chocolate, still looked at the coffee. I was going to drink it all and leave on my own, so I told him to wait.

"Busy."

Then he tapped the cardigan he was wearing and said, I have a lot of work to do getting changed, so get out of my room.

White cardigan.

Long cardigan.

After seeing it, Callian remembers something he forgot. I should not have forgotten, but I clearly remembered the situation and feeling so bad that I had forgotten.

"Sir."

Callian sings peas, boiled in an annoying face.

By the way, why were you holding my Hina Robe last time? When I think about it, I had already endured it once, but before it wore off, I put the beautiful name on my mouth.

"Do you want to spar?"

Plants smiles brightly, forgetting that he's busy. It was a relieved smile for him who realized that he had almost endured it twice.

After that, I drank good coffee again.
