202 < Chapter 35. Ghosts (5) >

It's definitely crazy.

I don't even know why he likes explosions so much. He's an ice wizard. I asked you one day, and you don't know. I don't know, I just said it was good.

"I didn't tell you then, but the prince is a good man. I don't know if there's been a lot of reasons that are hard to explain, or if there hasn't been any reason at all, but I just follow because you're a good man."

Then, one day, when I asked him why he was following me, he asked me to keep my seat, and I started to take it out like this. But I don't really know why I'm following Kalian. He said he was just following because he looks like a good person, but he couldn't figure out what the criteria was for being a good person.

Arsen then drank green tea full of the pear aroma that lay in front of him. After drinking the tea in one mouth like that, he smiled as if he was thirsty and refreshed like a burnt person.

"I don't know if the prince knows, but I always give my name to others before a fight. It became a habit to keep what my teacher taught me."

Kalian doesn't answer that question, but he doesn't even ask what it means. It was because of the unforgettable convenience of the memory that Arsen spoke to Balkan commander Arsen Hertz again.

"On top of that, 'that day' was probably the first time I asked for someone's name. Even if I don't remember anything, I'm sure of it."

It's a very different reaction to Plants.

It's ridiculous and funny to put that day in your mouth. On the other hand, though, it was a little sore, so Calian asked, disappearing.

"You want me to take pride in giving my life to you."

Hearing this, Arsen nods once and answers as if the meaning of Calian's guess is true.

"The prince is sitting right in front of me, and you need to know one reason why you can trust him to make the best choice."

Even if you knew it wasn't a matter to be solved with a knife, even if you knew it with your head, it was never easy to have credit with someone. I don't know about Kalian or Arsen, but Plants never thought of that either. You can't do that without going crazy.

So now, Arsen came up with a painful story to tell that Kalian, who had decided to keep Arsen by his side, would think that his choice was not wrong. To put it into Calian's hands, over to keep Calian from turning any further.

Surely Arsen respected Bern of old. It would have been a waste to take his life. So he asked me not to feel cold anymore.

"You're a strange man, after all."

Calian shakes his head as he understands everything Arsen has to say. Everyone is telling us to take comfort in what they want to avoid and put it in their mouths. So how can we act like this without being strange somewhere?

"I already know. That's what I thought at the time, but it's now."

I still remember confronting Bern with clear manners, not mocking. You never blamed Arsen for blaming Plants that day. I was just being a little hard on him.

"Glad you already know."

Arsen, who put down those words as if it had nothing to do with the words to keep him seated, looked at Kalian with his two eyes of light that made him cool deep down and gave him a real late answer.

"I took his breath once, and this time I will repay him for it. I've killed a lot of people with my mind, but I've never watched with my mind. We will do our best to protect you, Your Highness."

"No. Protect my place, not me."

"Drink the specs and don't worry. No matter what happens, I can't protect a prince."

Crazy bastard.

Listen to people.

"Oh · · · · · · · · I really saved her for nothing."

I change my mind twelve times a day.

I wish I'd killed him. I wish I'd let him live. Arsen was like that.

Arsen looks at Kalian, his eyes filled with faithfulness, as he looks at her, saying, "I don't know if you want to cry or laugh." And finally, I brought out the words that I had kept deep in my heart.

So either let me make a statue or burn that rebound gate, or just let me do one of them.

So Callian smiles beautifully and says, "Get lost."

* * *

I didn't look good.

Even if I wasn't in a good mood, I definitely wasn't a big teaser, but this time it was a little different. I definitely did not like the look on my face.

- Now, can I come in?

Jan thanked Hina for coming straight up from the palace of Gatabuta without a doubt.

"Yes, you just woke up and you're ready."

Maybe you should let Callian call Hina because you're sick and tell her there's no pain anywhere. You're not going to believe me if I've ever had a good experience believing I'm okay.

"Please, Lord Bern."

So Jan just called Hina whatever he wanted.

Yan lets Hina in, opening the door in Khalian's room, notifying her to come in with a constant knock. Jan sees Khalian standing outside the terrace, quite surprised at Hina, and closes the door outside without coming in together.

I knew it was Hina's turn to heal.

After hearing this, Khalian, who saw Hina, closes the door and sighs for a moment as Jan disappears. I thought I could see something else in Jan's eyes.

"Hina."

Somehow he brought two cups of tea.

I thought we were going to get a drink, but then I thought we were going to get a hina.

Warm cocoa made sweet with strawberry blue, which doesn't suit this hot day, seems to have come to mind that I like Sick Khalian and sweet Hina.

- Seriously, you don't look good.

Hina, standing next to Calian in his seat, puts her hands on his forehead. She doesn't hate the warm body temperature, so she just laughs.

"Don't worry. It's not a bad thing."

Someone thinks he's the fifth floor prince who lives delicately. It'll be fun to run out the window and into the woods right now, but I'm so worried about someone I'll never catch my breath.

- Did you have a bad dream?

However, after not believing that he was okay with it, Hina takes her hands off Calian's forehead and asks again, ignoring the answer she heard.

Oh, I got caught.

And Calian laughs again.

"A long time ago, I had a dream of leaving to meet someone sad, and then I had a dream of leaving to meet someone sad."

Hina still stands beside Kalian, listening quietly. Hina had never stopped talking to anyone and could not do it. She always liked to listen to someone's story.

"I had a dream I wouldn't leave today, so I met someone I was afraid of. A dream like seeing a ghost."

Hearing that, Hina continues to stare at Kalian, moving her hands silently.

- My brother, when I was a kid, ducks used to say, "quack, quack." I didn't know what it sounded like, because I couldn't see the duck.

Hina looks at Kalian for a moment, saying very slowly, in case she doesn't recognize him. He then confirmed that he had recognized all of his words and continued to speak.

- That day, I had a dream, and a bigger, bigger duck followed me, quacking, quacking.

How fun it is to talk about the scariest dreams in the world.

Kalian's eyes are full of interest, waiting for Hina's next words. She opens her eyes as if she saw something scary, then smiles again and says.

- So in the morning, because of you, I had a scary dream, and I cried. That day, my brother took me to the lake. Behind the white duck, the yellow duck followed, making a squeak, and it was so cute, that from that day on, I wasn't afraid.

I don't know who Kalian thinks he is, but it means that he may not be scary anymore.

Kalian nods.

Hina is right. As long as the man remains a ghost in Bern's head, it may not even exist in Kalian's mind.

"Hina, I have a question for you."

Hina nods at KaIian's question while reviewing Hina's words quietly.

"Healing, there are people who might live a long time after receiving it. And I want him gone forever. But maybe he'll need your help. Maybe he'll come and ask you to fix it."

What are you going to do, Hina?

If I told you to take your head back from him, would you be disappointed? Are you gonna be mad?

Perhaps it's more frightening, so she looks at Hina with her eyes filled with questions that all of Kalian couldn't pull out.

Hina, who was looking at Kalian with clear eyes like those of a baby duck, replied.

- I'm not gonna fix you.

Whoever it is knows that his sickness is completely different from that of Arsen's bruised hind neck, but I won't fix it. That's how I answered.

- I'm not that kind of person who wants to fix anyone. If you don't like him, I don't like him.

Oh, I see.

Are you a bad person or a lot?

Kalian nods.

"I thought he was a ghost and would follow me forever."

Everyone says that when they put a healer in front of them. Not just Plants, but Calian.

- Are you scared?

"No, it's just... If you think about it, just... It hurts a little."

Hearing that, Hina smiles like a polish on water.

- Thank goodness.

And he said,

I don't know what's so good about Callian's illness, but she smiles brightly, thankfully.

- If it hurts, I can fix it. I'm glad he's not scared, he's sick.

I won't fix that scary person, but I can fix what's wrong with Kalian, so I'll fix it anytime. Hina replied.

- If it hurts, tell me. I promise, I'll fix it.

Kalian nods.

It was an answer that said that it had already been cured.

It's hot.

Although Cairys is one of the coldest places in Cairys, summer is still hot.

Raleigh, who lived in the vicinity of Count Kenneth, said Siegfried had another full moon to the south, did not seem so unpleasant, but Plants did not.

It's hot. As soon as I get out of Chermill Palace, it's hot.

I'm annoyed because it's hot and hot in the morning. I'm even more annoyed that the person standing in front of me bothers me more.

"Give it to me. Come on."

Plants, as smart as he is, noticed that the man in front of him still has something to say today. But he keeps noticing and doesn't want to reveal what he's hiding.

"What are you talking about, Deputy Commander?"

Secretly approaching, stabbing the letter and disappearing, Cecretia's bird suddenly stumbles upon the ever-approaching demands of Plants, both perplexed and unfaithful.

'I wonder if Deputy Chief Hertz told you who I am.'

I concluded that the bird that was thinking about this would not be so soon. No matter how much they shared the same office, they were never meant to share those things.

His predictions were accurate.

Apparently, Arsen didn't tell Plants about the letter he received from Cecretia. Kalian didn't tell Plants who he was either.

I just let Plants know who he was a long time ago.

He was behaving like a Tina again today and was starting the day right. Under the circumstances, I tried to assess when to deliver the letter to Plants, but it wasn't obvious to anyone. Nevertheless, if Plants has something that comes to him directly, he will be surprised when he comes quickly.

"Give me the one with the purple eyes."

At that moment, he was very close to holding on to almost living towards Plants. Of course, Plants, seeing him like that, was working really hard for patience, but he didn't know that.

"Now, now."

Hot is annoying, and it's annoying that Chase sends another letter, but the prince "walking with green eyes" who is annoyed at the thought of the man standing in front of him trying to reach the end said with his last patience. Thinking I'm gonna have to kick him out of the Balkans again.

Having read his mind, he hides his sharpened eyes and gives one letter to Plants. Then it drifted away at the same speed as the wind.

The letter from the falcon, just like it was handed to Arsen, is slightly larger than usual. Not only that, but it was always rolled up and sealed today.

- As soon as possible.

And on the outside, it only had these little letters.

There's only one reason why I sealed it. It was to prevent anyone other than Calian from opening it in advance.

Plants glances down at the sentence on the outside of the sealed letter with an unmarked seal.

"· · · · · · · · · No."

Plants that have seen Chase's letters grow unwanted. But now that letter is bothering me. I was very annoyed with that too. It was definitely Chase's handwriting, but I thought it was a little different.

I mean, it's almost like someone was impersonating Chase's writing.

At first glance, Plants looked down at the letter and wondered if he would just give it to Khalian as if he didn't know it.

- Boo-ooo.

Then I dared to tear the envelope and take out its contents.

It takes time for the hawk to fly from Cecritia to Cairis. And just yesterday, after talking to Chase's side, Callian comes up and complains about whale crying.

Chase and Calian have been communicating with each other since the letter was sent to each side, so the fact that someone was impersonating Chase's handwriting doesn't mean that something is wrong inside Chase.

'There must be a reason he smelled the sea in his coffee.'

So Plants decided that if he delivered this letter to Kalian, it wouldn't make a difference except for the look on Kalian's face again. Callian will never tell you what happened on the side of Cecritia.

So I have to play the rotten brother without listening to him again.

Raleigh looks surprised to think that he doesn't know what poison is inside, but Plants doesn't care and starts reading the letter.

"· · · · · · · · · · · Ha."

After that, he immediately moved on to somewhere.

Not the Chermill, where Kalian will be, but towards the Arfia Palace.

I'm going to tell Kalian's father that a serpent living in a peaceful southern seaside village is about to do something strange.
