246 < Chapter 44. Don't Forget (3) >

I met Remain.

Grey Brissen also arrived in the capital in a hurry.

It's not completely healed, but I wanted to show Alan what it's like to wake up and let him rest for a few days, including Hina and Arsen, but he hasn't come back yet. So I left a message without both of them.

So for tomorrow, the diligent Khalian returns to Chermill today.

The wound, of course, was sick and still hungry, but feeling well enough, so Callian was standing on Jan's terrace in secret.

Autumn evening.It feels like the wind is getting a little darker.

With the wind blowing, a voice came with me whenever I heard it.

- Thanks for the heads-up. Prince Kalian.

What Plants Found.

Secretia, how exactly did you find the Devil's bird? I contacted Chase about how to use the bird just tomorrow in Cairys.

It was a matter of settling, so it couldn't help but affect our relationship. I sent Chase a message because I was worried he might be concerned about that.

- Perhaps the birds that have infiltrated the Balkans are also involved.

Since I've only been a foreigner, I think I told my teacher to leave it alone.

While Callian was out of his mind, it seems that Plants had been talking to Allan about Chase's Book of Souls separately. Thanks to that, the pilgrimage that really only played the role of Jeonseo-gu was still safe.

In fact, now that I can contact you like this, I was thinking of returning you to your home country, but I decided to leave it here in case you were wondering. Instead, I told them to stay well trained.

- If you need me, tell him to say goodbye on the way back. I feel bad for her. We'll send you a farewell gift.

Calian was silent for a moment when he told me about Devil's Seizure and gave me jokes about the harmless Seizure he was actually playing.

Siona Hill.

Another sodmaster.

'Let's talk now.'

Kalyan shakes his head, wondering if he can find out where he is.

'Totally unreliable.'

Since we don't know where the information about the Kalian leaked from and is being passed on to the Devil, it is difficult to inform them that Kalian is looking for Siona now.

Of course.

It's not about Chase, it's about Tailan Castrin.

They were close friends, esteemed teachers and prosecutors, and now knights of Chase, but once escorted by Devil Lane. He was also a man who had heard all about Kalian from Chase.

'Once it is confirmed that it can be trusted. I'd better ask him then.'

Because of this, Kalian said something other than what he said about Siona, something a little difficult to say to Chase.

- And I wanted to give you another message.

Talk to me.

- I was a little injured in the encounter with the Marquis of Brissen.

- · · · · · · · Injured.

Chase's voice has changed.

Khalian smiles silently.

- I just wanted to let you know that you'll be surprised to know that the birds know you're doing well.

- How badly are you hurt? It is severe.

It's severe.

I can't eat.

- No, it was just a nudge. I am recovering quickly because I am healing Hina and have the power of blessing.

Chase replied with a voice that was hard to assess his mood.

- You don't think I'd be surprised. You're still so bad at lying.

- Oh, that's the story. In fact, he was hurt a little bit more than a little bit, but he's recovering.

I could feel Chase sighing for a long time, even though he wasn't looking at me directly. Calian lets out a short breath, apparently worrying.

Chase gives you a cautious speech.

- Lord Castrin told me Prince Kalian would do better than Earl Evan Brissen, but how did he get hurt?

- A little boy popped out during a fight with the Marquis. I suddenly saw the old memories mixed together. The unprepared memory overlaps with reality, so I forgot for a moment that I was someone else.

Khalian told me something else about Bern's past, except that it reminded me of it.

I swung a sword at Silica right in front of my eyes, even Evan.

I can't see what Plants thinks of Evan from the inside out. Maybe I'll show you something similar about my own flesh again.

I ended up thinking during the fight.

- And then I stopped.

Someone who explains it without putting it in her mouth.

Chase replied, guessing who the young child just said looks like.

- I think I know what's going on. It happens to me all the time.

Chase was probably experiencing most of the experience of a memory that was completely difficult to make his own.

- I'm trying not to open my memory before I open my eyes here again, and when I think of a moment, I'm surprised, regardless of my will.

Prince Kalian won't. If you open up all your old memories, you won't be surprised. I'm sure we'll all know what you have in mind, so there won't be any surprises.

- Yeah, I think so. But I can't open them all.

- May I ask why you won't open it?

Stopped his hand during a strawberry-filled meal, couldn't speak during conversation, forgot his sword during a fight. Instead of losing money on those things, you can open up all of Calian's memories and find out why you left them there.

Callian replies with a quiet voice.

- It's good to have memories popping out. I know he's gone, but I'm glad to know he's still around.

When I first opened my eyes here, I remember when I opened my memories that I was curious about, and I think that when my memories popped up like this, I still feel like the child is alive together. I couldn't let go of the joy, so I couldn't open all my memories.

- And I think it's my job to open up all of her memories and leave them with her, because I'm worried that I might forget something small. I live with the greed of not forgetting anything.

If we open up all the memories of the old Kalian and turn them into Kalian's, there will be only Bern and the present Kalian here, so we decided to leave the memories of the old Kalian's that were just empty spaces.

- It's precious. Even if it hurt a lot.

It's like Chase never let go of Bern.

The situation and methods were different, but they would still be the same.

- I'm not being clever, but I don't think you understand. Prince Kalian.

- Yes, it is.

So Chase understood that folly.

- However. I want you to think about your body rather than your memory.

- Yeah, I'll be careful. I don't want you to worry too much right now.

A terrace overlooking the moon floating on the rocking water and the star-like shimmering waves. I closed my eyes for a moment because it seemed to be blowing from there.

- Not bad, though.

Chase has been silent for a while.

Callian hears Chase's words again, trying to figure out what doesn't sound bad.

- I don't know if you remember, but I said that a long time ago. Since I'm · · · · · · · · · the older brother, I have to worry.

'I am your brother. Not you. I have to worry about you.'

I remembered a word that I did not forget.

Kalian closes his eyes when he hears a sudden word.

- · · · · · Yes. He once said that.

- You didn't give me a place to worry then, and now I have a break. It's not a good thing to say you're hurt bad, but I'm glad it's alive and well.

Callian smiles silently as he hears why he brought up the past. I've never said that Bern was hurt in his life.

To live worrying about someone. Yeah, it is.

Living alone has been hard enough for me.

- Good to see you. I hope you will continue to yield seats around you. Saying he's hurt, saying he's sick, sometimes asking for help. I know Prince Kalian is a powerful man, and I know he can handle anything. I don't want you to forget that everyone who's strong and everyone else who's watching you is the same person.

I'm glad to be the first to say that someone who wasn't hurt was hurt. Chase asked me to do this.

I won't forget.

- Of course, that doesn't mean you have to get hurt again. Don't get hurt.

Kalian laughs.

- I'll bear that in mind.

* * *

The night of the windy conversation passed.

At daybreak, Remain urgently summoned the nobles living in the capital. It was a sudden summoning, but the nobles who had been watching the outcome of the business with Brycen had always come to me with a complacent face.

Le Maine's mouth was finally opened in front of the nobles who had mixed interest and anxiety.

"In the meantime, an investigation has confirmed that Count Evan Brissen has infiltrated the palace of Cecretia."

A problem that is never light.

A foreign informant wandered around the palace, not elsewhere.

In Allen's words, the matter of the royal family was not a day or two. It has improved slightly compared to the past, but it is still a known incompetence. Le Maine, for the first time, acknowledged her faults through her own mouth.

"We also confirmed both evidence and testimony that Declaration of Cecretia, Earl Evan Bricen and Earl Lennon Bricen were connected."

Evidence that Evan Brissen was about to attack the prince, and plausible evidence that Evan and Lennon were involved in the seizures of Cecretia will be prepared by Grey Brissen on her own.

It's okay if the evidence is bad.

Brissen's backyard is getting dark. Even those who stood with Bricen would not be fascinated to ask the king to show them where the evidence is.

It's the same.

So far, if Brissen were the proof, the Crown of Cairis would soon be the proof.

The latter was passed on to the nobles through Raul, Grand Chamberlain, not Remain.

- Renan prepares the poison, and Evan hands it over to the Second Prince. When the second prince found out, he informed the third prince, and the third prince, who was secretly trying to find the inner sanctuary, discovered Evan Brissen who had already been killed by the tenants.

A blindfold made of the right truth and the right lies.

A better blindfold was revealed than an unbelievable perfect truth or an unbelievable perfect lie.

- Three princes were also in danger, but Balkan and Siegfried arrived just in time to get out of trouble. Renan then burned Evan's mansion to the ground for evidence.

I will teach you the guilt of Evan and Lennon, tell you what kind of army Balkans are, reveal the alliance between Plants and Calian again, show off the close relationship between Calian and Siegfried, and reduce the fear that the Three Princes would be overpowered.

I finished explaining the situation with a lot of purpose.

Remain silent.

"The Crown of Cairys decided not to punish the Bricens, including Grey Bricene, for their bravery and diligence in guarding the borders of Cairys and the courage of the Grey Bricen Change Bag that had been informed of this matter before. Therefore, the Grey Brissen Change Bag will be subject to further scrutiny."

Conclusion.

I will keep the family going to raise cats in the future, and keep Grey alive to run the family for a while.

"However, as Evan Brissen and Lennon Brissen have decided that a severe punishment is needed for the sins of Evan Brissen and Lennon Brissen, who have dared to intimidate the prince by hacking into the breach, they renounce Evan Brissen's position, reclaim the castle and sentence Lennon Brissen to death."

I will let Evan and Lennon end their lives in a blasphemous commoner.

I will take 'Brissen' from both names and end my relationship with Plants that I sought only when I needed to.

"In addition, I will never be overlooked by the royal court of Cairus about the seizures of Cecretia, which had the greatest impact on this case. Therefore, we strictly forbid all transactions, including those between the two countries, until there is a clear explanation and a legitimate apology from the king of Cecretina, Devil Lane. If we want to maintain a smooth relationship between our two countries, Devil, king of Secritia, will need to quickly reveal his position on the matter and how to deal with it."

I also made a reason for Kalian and Hina not to go to Cecritia.

I will let you know the kingdom of which Remain Devil despised.

Conclusion.

"I'm sorry about Baron Pollun."

With Le Maine's mouth shut, you can cut back on Evan.

Calian, acting as the Righteous Three Prince who is resting for a moment, smiles because he has suffered quite a lot of injuries dealing with a large number of Se-critian rookies who suddenly encountered him.

"This has disrupted Ruby's dealings with Cecretia, so I need to take a look and see if there are any other clients for you."

Diamond dealings with Tensyl are blocked by Kalian, and Ruby dealings with Cecretia are blocked by Kalian.

Of course, it was Kalian who saved Melpire Pollun's life, whether the deal went well or badly. He was not overly sorry because he made that deal in the first place.

"And since we've stopped the king of · · · · · · · · · Cecritia like this, I have to go to scare the Elves as planned. We shouldn't take any chances of curing King Cecretia."

"Half past."

"I can't. But thanks to your thoughtfulness, I don't think I can be a candidate for future tyranny."

"I didn't write it."

"Yes, I'll say that. So, you've decided."

"Not yet."

"Make a decision quickly. I'll just say Lucy's the only name."

"You."

"Yes."

"Why are you here?"

"To eat."

It's been a day.

I came up for meat.

"I'm tired. I'm going to sleep. Go."

"I don't want to."

"Meow!"

"Niang!"

Just as I didn't hear him say he was tired, Calian held his gray kitten in his arms and made a fuss as if to quickly name it 'butterfly, apple.' His ruthless servant watched as if it were natural for the kitchen attendants and maids to set various foods on the table.

Today it is also cooked in a bundle of ripe onions, cooked flattened beef with cheese, stir-fried pork with very slight ginger aroma, dried duck meat in lemon juice and pickled cabbage, cooked with white mushrooms and string beans, and salad with less pressed cheese and blueberry sauce.

And soup with peas.

After being mixed in a cream sauce, Plants looks at the soup that looks a lot like his hair, not his eyelids, but like a puck.

"Put it away."

Leek clears his soup quickly, making sure he can't even eat my prince peas, who can't eat green onions without peppers.

"Why can't you eat? It's delicious."

Pretend you don't know anything. Kalian bites. He's eating that bluish soup without smiling.

It's obvious.

It's revenge with the meat peas eaten yesterday.

Plants, frowning eyes, is filled with annoyance.

"Why are you here? Again."

"I told you."

"You're not."

"Then why are you tired?"

Plants, who swallowed duck meat, replied with a face that was not quite the same as usual.

"Never mind."

"I thought you couldn't sleep."

Plants did not answer.

Calian lowers his fork and knife for a moment and looks at Plants.

"I spoke with Prince Chase yesterday. And then I remembered one thing."

Kill him yourself or not.

A man died right in front of me.

"You've never seen those eyes before. It can't be okay."

Like Bern who had been sick for days, the dying eyes kept coming back to me. Just like Bern said to Chase when he asked him why.

"I'm teaching you the sword, so I think one day you'll end your own life. I don't intend to stop that. Let me know if you're having a hard day. Comforting is something I'll hear even if I've never done it before."

After finishing your horse, you pick up the meat in front of me again and give Calian a long nod with a calm face.

It means he couldn't sleep because of the set-up the other day.

"I've seen the eyes of a dying man. It was different."

"When have you ever seen it again? It's not a pleasant experience."

Plants' appetite disappears when he leaves it in front of the food and opens his mouth, dropping his fork and knife.

"The sinner you caught. The day the Renaissance leaf was spread for the man."

- Bang!

Calian slowly shakes his head and looks at Plants.

I heard the sound of my heart thumping again.

"You mean the man I caught during my Roselita period?"

"Yes."

"· · · · · · · · Men."

Either he felt strange about Calian's reaction, or Plants stared at Calian without saying anything more.

Callian smiles.
