217 < Chapter 39, I endured a lot (1) >

There is often a Khalian, but no yarn by his side.

There were many reasons for Jan's absence, but sometimes it is difficult for those around her to stand in front of Calian in such situations. And there was only one thing that would have been the reason for that difficulty.

Right away, Callian smiles.

To be more precise, I can't tell the truth about laughter.

When Khalian smiles without Yan, he can't tell the difference between smiling because he likes it, smiling because he's angry, or smiling because he's sick.

But not this time.

Hina knows, but Plants was able to figure out why Kalian's smile broke.

Right now, Callian is smiling because he feels like he's been hit by a big one somewhere.

"Ah · · · · · · · Hina. So you're a party. It was your job."

Calian covers his face and smiles quietly.

"Yes. I'm sorry for making you as weak as I want you to be, for protecting you as you want, for making you as innocent as if you couldn't do anything without me. I'm so sorry. I won't do it again."

And like this, he apologized for reflecting on me first.

Plants, who was feeling similar, slightly nodded and placed one hand on Calian's apple. If you interpret the behavior in words, it will probably be "Me too." Of course, I had never treated Hina as a younger person than me, but I was right to think of her as weak and helpless.

Just because Hina can't fight doesn't mean she's weak enough to be speechless.

"And · · · · · · · · · I misunderstood. Sorry about that, Hina."

A second apology turns his head to look at Plants and smiles again.

Now Plants frowns at the tail of his eyes, realizing that that smile means something different. It was because I realized the second reason why Kalian was laughing.

'My Hina wants you to be a child.'

That's what I'm thinking.

To be precise, you were just a child guarding the house, Plants, for us Hinas, who were always so peaceful like a spring sun-dried blanket and reading books like a winter night, but only in the same context.

Who will say that he is a child when he looks at the one he cares about? That's only one year different from Plants. Plants thought that even the Sispanians, who had been living since the beginning, would never have literally told young Hatsuara that they were children.

- Misunderstanding. Did you do something?

"Yes, that happened. Anyway, sorry."

Callian laughs in a small voice again.

No one had ever misunderstood the meaning of the word, not even Plants himself. Of course, I leave my brother Kiri out of it. After seeing this situation, Kiri is the one who has to choose and misunderstand everything, so she should just think about it.

Anyway, now that Kalian knows exactly what it means for "The Good Prince" of Hina, he bursts out laughing. To put it this way, I completely forgot that I heard the same thing myself.

"Enough."

Anyway, I got it wrong and I got angry, so he doesn't know how many times I've been angry. So, instead of apologizing to Hina now, Plants turns to Khalian and turns his head to Hina because of the thought of grey's backache on a cloudy day. I had something special to say, but I wanted to say something else instead.

After barely smiling at Plants' words, Calian opens his mouth to Hina.

"Yes, I understand."

I said I understood. That doesn't mean I knew. So Hina clammed her lips. At this rate, Hina, who was looking at the two of them, moved her hands in such an atmosphere that would put her hands on her waist in front of the princes.

- No, you have to go. Promise me.

Then Calian shakes his head.

As Hina's face tightly turns, she opens her mouth as if it were a relief.

"Hina, can we promise something else?"

Then he became more gentle than anyone else and continued to speak with his voice.

"I was going to go. I tried to go somehow, but he tried to stop you, too. I promise you something else, Hina."

As if to ask me to talk, nod.

"I'll think of a way we, you, and no one else need to go to Cecritia. If there's no other way, then I'll listen to you. I'll listen to it."

Plants, looking at it, curls one lip up.

Cat boxes, cinnamon tangerines, nightmares, whatever. Now I know that his stubbornness will be broken so easily and quickly as long as he just needs Hina.

So if something goes wrong, you can tell Hina, not his father.

I looked up at Hina, who was standing next to Kalian, not knowing that Brainy had learned something new again well.

"Hm? Hina."

Who else in Cairis knows how to use my face better than Callian? If there's anyone who can ignore looking up at Calian with a round, innocent eye like Raven in front of him, it's probably just Demirea and Plants. The weakest one, of course, is Alan.

- You're not lying, are you?

"I can't lie. You'd be surprised how little you know."

Serenty must be surprised every day.

If you had known you were such a good catch, you wouldn't have made me do this. That's too bad.

- Okay, I'll believe you.

However, since Khalian wasn't lying, Hina nods her head with the desired answer.

Maybe Calian is good at acting even if he can't lie.

So, it was only Plants who felt uneasy because he couldn't fathom what else was going on in Calian's grateful, smiling head.

* * *

Kalian hasn't contacted me yet.

No, I didn't.

- I'm curious. I'm worried.

So Chase had to call first and ask about the situation.

You laugh again in a soft voice that seems to contain nothing but worry about the Kalian.

I laughed because I couldn't help feeling sorry.

- The less you worry, the more worries you have around you, the less I know what to do.

Jan's only worry is that it makes me feel better. Callian, who is only sorry for Chase's concern, replies: In Hina's words, no one would worry if they were inside doing nothing, but they can't do that.

- I'm fine.

Hence, Hina Chase, and now the peas that walk around with each other, had to think of a good way not to worry. It was so nice to hear Chase's voice as he was wrapping his head around it.

Cairis' rain is fierce, inevitable, and he always wets and drinks his clothes. Chase's voice was just like showers. It was nice to meet you, to wait, to miss you.

- Arianne never believes me when I say I'm okay. I think Prince Kalian should be halfway through. How about that?

- This time it's really okay. I got better. I had these hands that stopped and beat me.

I got better, but I got the rain the other guy didn't expect. I'm sorry about that.

I'm sorry I couldn't tell Plants. It reminded me of something I'd forgotten, so I felt sorry for making me realize something I didn't need to know. I couldn't tell Chase about it, so I just thought about it.

I didn't know that sword meant that.

- I think I'm fine. Just me.

Knowing that I don't need to know, the peas that were boiled and boiled are also underwater, and Chase is also walking around in a dream and nightmare reality.

- Doesn't matter. It's okay. It's okay.

Chase, who understands at least the story of himself in the hidden words, said: Then he immediately brought up another story like a conversation.

- Because I didn't finish yesterday. I just wanted to ask if you had any more questions. It's a little hazy, but I have plans today, too.

Called first and asked me if I had any questions, but Calian didn't smile. It's because Kalian knew he couldn't ask Chase something first if he didn't.

- If you have anything left to say, say it. Prince Kalian.

The other day, while having a conversation in the woods, Plants arrived and hurriedly closed the conversation. Since then, I've never been able to connect with Grey, worked with Plants again, met Hina, and spent time apart.

"Meow."

I reach out to Lucy, who's on her feet, and I bring her my own head. Maybe he really likes people that much.

I stroked the hard, small, round head a few times, but I didn't like it. He lets out an unsatisfied cry and goes straight to the innocent man across the street.

I have something else to tell you.

After seeing Plants, who was sitting with his eyes closed, having difficulty distinguishing whether he was asleep or dead, patting Lucy on his knees, Calian stands up, answering Chase.

He seems to have a lot to think about, and Kalian needs to talk, so he's about to head down.

"Stay."

Then Plants said,

After finishing Roselita, Calian looks at Plants with a surprised face, just like the day he heard the word 'Welcome'.

I bet there was something I didn't like earlier.

He couldn't have done that without eating something wrong. Why don't you tell them not to kick you out?

"Vee."

The rain would have left something to say, but going down to talk to Chase and coming back up to say what was left, it meant not to be rained on, but to stay.

"Yes."

Likewise, Calian takes a seat on the road, answering confidently. Then he spoke to Chase.

- I don't know if I should interfere, but I wanted to say please don't take the King of Cecretia lightly. He's more dangerous than you think, so don't rush him. So now I wanted to pretend that you don't know anything, and I wanted you to do the same.

There was no answer for a long time.

When Callian is anxious to summon Chase because he hasn't had an answer for a long time, he hears from Chase.

- Actually, I've already been there once. I didn't really know what I was remembering or what I was hearing from anyone, and I didn't really know what that conclusion was, so I had a conversation to check it out.

Chase and Plants were thinking the same thing, so I took a look at Devil. He told me the name of Bern and made sure that Devil remembered it. Of course, he couldn't tell Calian how, but he had to tell her about the results, so Chase kept the conversation as secret as possible.

- I checked that you don't remember, and nothing happened. It's okay.

- Don't be so obvious. Never do that. You shouldn't trust them so easily. Don't let anything happen to you.

Concerned Calian gives you a quick warning, and Chase notices the two eyes of Devilan returning as he blurs.

- Yeah, I wouldn't be too relieved. So don't worry about that, too.

- So how did you confirm it and what kind of conversation you had? I wonder.

However, Calian asked.

Just out of curiosity, he asked how he checked, i.e., what questions he wanted to explore Devil's insides.

- It is.

But Chase's answer did not connect properly.

I'm just curious about Kalian, but I wanted to avoid him as much as possible, so I couldn't give him any answers.

After waiting a long time for an answer, Calian raises his head and looks at Plants. Callian asks for Plants, who is still slightly blindfolded.

"Prince Chase had a conversation to see if the king of Cecretia had found his memory or if he had heard the rumors, and it turned out he hadn't."

Plants frowns.

It means I know what you mean. I know, but I don't want to tell Kalian.

Callian opens his mouth in a quiet voice.

"What. That way."

The curiosity I didn't think of was doubtful.

Obviously they're hiding something. It was meant to be for Calian's sake, of course, but Calian had to know if it was the Devil himself.

- I don't want you to ask. Prince Kalian.

The answer that came back from Chase was:

"Don't ask."

Plants said the same thing. Swallowing all sorts of insults about Chase being so good at getting caught.

"Sir."

Kalian's red eyes glare at Plants.

"Tell me, tell me. It's okay."

I don't know if those red eyes are really red or if they're a different color.

Plants suddenly thought of that.
