257 < Chapter 46. The Prince (1) >

In front of Chermill Palace is a lake.

The sponsorship of the Arfia Palace has a small creek.

The stream flows at the support of the beautiful ballroom, Siegfried Cave. It is because the water flowing from the Arfia Palace leads to the Siegfried Coffin. And as I walked through the tree-like corridor that was formed around the Senho Passage, I had to cross the long-grain bridge right across the stream.

In all these areas of the royal palace of Cairis, there was a stream that divided into large and small lakes, fountains, and many branches.

The Sispanian who loved the snow and hated the rain.

I don't like being narrow and stuffy.

Thanks to the Sispanians who did not tell us whether they liked or disliked something else, many natural landscapes other than the sea were artificially created in the palace of Cairis. Hatsuara, who didn't know what the Sispanians liked, just put it all in and built it.

"Peep!"

Thanks to this, a yellow creature was excited.

If you are not a royal or a guest of the royal family, you may enter the Seño Cemetery, a lake in the Chermill Palace that cannot be walked, or a creek in the Arfia Palace. A yellow-bellied duck standing there on a long bridge makes a beep.

"It's a long way for you to get in there. Just watch."

As soon as I woke up from the egg, Arsen, who humbly accepted the situation of having a baby, opened his mouth again, thanks to the baby duck who made the wizard with the blue head as a mother.

"I think the wind's blowing. Come here. I'm gonna jump right in."

Arsen quickly grabbed the baby duck with both hands, anxious that the young duck had already been born a few days ago and was already on the end of the long legs smelling the water.

"Peep!"

The young duck, still in Arsen's hands, lets out a bell.

- Even kittens, they're big, but ducks grow faster, I think.

Lunch break.

Hina, who was with me, looks at the baby duck with a strange face. There was only one reason to look at it. The baby duck hasn't followed anyone but Arsen yet.

Arsen smiles gladly as he looks at the baby duck, which is really heavy for a few days.

"The commander used to say small things are different every day."

Hina smiles at Lucy and Anne, who are sleeping in the office right now or wandering around among the members of Balkans eating.

"Peep!"

"You hungry to wander around? Give me a minute. I'll give you something to eat."

Uriah did.

The first thing a baby bird sees is its mother. Arsen was being a very good duck mother.

You take out a handful of Juju Island pellets from the wizard's pocket that Arsen once again placed on the ground. Then I suddenly thought it was funny, or I muttered to myself with a bloody smile.

"The prince's face must be quite complicated to see."

- Sweet, sweet prince. Why?

"I sat him down to be deputy commander of the Balkans, and one was carrying cat hair and the other one was carrying duck food."

In Calian's memory, they were like demons. Two men with such an army carry them around in majesty, cats and ducks. You can't cry. You can't laugh.

- You're gonna love it.

"Why do you think that is?"

Foot, car, silver, made to take it, not army. You'll love living, knowing how precious it is, duck feeding, carrying it around.

"Is that what it looks like to you?"

Hina nods.

- Sweet Prince, I think that's why we gathered the wizards. The Duke's hands, the wounds, they'll all be the same. My brother did. I fought, not to hurt anyone, not to fight. I fought, not to hurt anyone.

Arsen smiles brightly as he sees the young duck stumbling around with his little paw on a watery rake.

"Yes, I understand what you're saying. Then may I ask you one more question?"

Hina nods, and Arsen looks at Wilhelm's Coffin for a moment.

"Lord Knight Bern is protecting you, the Duke is guarding his bride, and the prince is learning to protect more people. What did Prince Prince, the Vice Commander, who is McDreamy's brother, seem to be guarding? I don't understand why he's so eager to learn swords and magic."

I'm the prince, like you always say. I'm the deputy commander of Plants. It was difficult to understand why I was holding a sword while already working on the position. Haven't you learned the sword a long time ago to learn to be recognized by others after you've ascended to the Marquis?

- I don't know, but good, I think Prince McDreamy, for the same reason.

Hina pauses and touches her ear once. I said it again, remembering my original ear that I don't remember how long it was.

- I didn't want to be weak. One way or another, I didn't want to be exploited. Perhaps, the good prince, too, I suppose. I thought Prince Charming was, you know, teaching me hard.

"I see."

Arsen nods slowly, looking down at the duck.

"You're like my teacher sometimes."

Arsenal loved talking to Hina.

It was because of Hina's appearance that Arsena, who was both a wizard and not a wizard, showed me one of the indicators to follow.

"Beep, beep, beep!"

The young duck, who had finished his meal, cries back at Arsen. Hina turns her head as she looks at Arsena, who has made a lump of water on her hand.

Eyria and Eila sat across from one of the tables set up at the sponsorship of the Senate. It was about giving and receiving information about Alela's betrayal of her position as the head of the information organization she was in charge of.

Arsen opens his mouth, looking in hina's direction.

"I'm surprised, by the way. I can't believe the prince gave him your escort."

- Nice guy, I guess.

"Do you see that?"

If it wasn't for Prince Charming, I wouldn't have had him by my side. I think he's a good guy, too.

"The prince is a hard man to understand the standards of true faith. I didn't have a very good relationship with him."

- You don't live with that first impression. who distinguishes personal emotions from other things. Like your deputy commander.

Suddenly, when Hina mentions herself, Arsen is a little surprised.

"Why me?"

- You didn't say anything to the chairman today. You bought me a duck egg, purple flowers, thinking it was an egg.

Hina smiled and said.

- Duck, don't let the cats find you, I'll take good care of you, so when you're done, come over for dinner.

After living with someone who is good at being discovered, it seems to have come to the same conclusion. He says nothing and doesn't ask how. Arsen nods quietly.

* * *

Arsenal had no excuse.

Kalian is unable to bark.

Calian narrows his eyes, postponing his plan to bark well. During the day, I saw a waterfall in the forest, and by night I was not impressed by the way I saw the waves on the sand.

A beautiful Mother Tree stands behind Khalian, which I suspect would look something like that if I spread a Siegfried tube made of crystal walls and platinum pillars. And in the front, yes.

- Shoot him.

There was a sea.

I put the sea in front of me that I missed so much, and now Callian can't get enough of it. The sea I wanted to see in the first place was not here either, but I thought about it a lot.

"Welcome, Prince Cairys. '

It was different.

The elves' attitude toward Calian's group is so different that they can't tell which side is real. I don't know if it's about the Elder Germans I've met in the past or what they're planning this time, but the Elves regarded Kalian as "Prince of Cairis", not "Human Representative."

'The Elder will be here tomorrow. I'll take the day off and get ready to meet you tomorrow.'

How can an Elven delegation approaching the party bark at me like this? It was also embarrassing to say, 'I will not leave you alone,' because I am the King of men.

"The elves here welcome you more than I do."

According to Siona, Calian feels the smell of blood mixed in the salt of the sea.

"You were rejected for treatment as well."

"Did I tell you why I was here?"

Calian shakes his head lightly.

Then I opened my mouth, pointing to Mother's tree, which I saw behind my back.

"Said it was the way out of Elf City. That's probably why Elves with knife marks came to Elf City. But if he was still walking around wounded, he would have been rejected."

"Oh, yeah. I came to see you for treatment, but you refused. You said it was hard to see me as an intact elf. Elves don't heal other races."

"Because you grew up in the Great Desert?"

"Of course. And then there's the meat."

Siona opens her mouth to the dark sea, smiling bitterly.

"I know that protecting the tribe by going out like that is how the Elves survive, but I feel a little offended, so I ran into them. I'm sorry."

"Enough. I'm not angry right now. If you were going to apologize, you should have done it on time."

Callian suddenly turns to look away.

"Yes, you should have done it on time."

After mumbling it out, Siona follows Kalian's gaze. During the day, you enter and leave the rainbow, and now you see the prince standing in front of the waves.

"Is that your brother?"

"Yes."

"You're a good grass eater."

"Yes · · · · · · · · ·."

"But you look strong for my age. You've got some muscles."

"· · · · · · · Drink beans."

"Oh, yeah."

"Yes."

You hear the waves as if filling up a brief silence.

Siona finds the next horse and pulls it out.

"Is it the royal blood that handles that · · · · · · · · sword well?"

"No, you're just learning. First brother doesn't do that."

Some kind of cornstalk.

There's someone weaker, but stiffer.

Calian laughs deeply, swallowing one indescribable word. Siona, who saw such a Khalian, asked.

"Is there anything they didn't apologize for in time?"

"To you?"

Siona nods, and Callian shakes his head. Seeing it, Siona smiled and said.

"You're not as much of a liar as the elves."

Kalian is missing.

And then she said, using clean magic to Siona.

"Your wound is broken. When I see the commander tomorrow, I'll ask him to heal me, so don't pretend to be fine. Go rest."

I tried to hold on to the wound to prevent it from spreading more, but I started the morning so hot that I had been walking around so far, it couldn't have been hard on my body.

"It's okay. You don't have to worry about it."

"I didn't go in to rest because my people weren't feeling well. You and I are strangers here, so stay in good shape. Don't stretch my load."

Then Siona nods.

"Sure."

After simply answering and turning around, Siona heard a "rattling" bell. Khalian looks back at her for a while.

The sound of the waves grows distant.

The wind sounds, and Plants is still standing in front of the waves.

* * *

Kalyan looks out the window, up where the elders are.

A deep blue sea was spread out under his feet under clear skies.

"Is this the realm of Libern?" "

The nearby sea of Cecretia did not give off such dark light. Tensyl didn't get along with the healing Elves, so he made up his mind that if the Elves had built a city somewhere and connected it with Cairys, it would be Riverne.

After one Elf dropped three glasses of green tea with dried peaches and apples, the man in front of Calian shakes his head and replies.

"A land without a master, between Libern and the Great Desert."

"Why would you want to go and live in the wrong place with such a nice place?"

Plants picks up a cup of tea, sniffing a mouthful, and looks at Calian. I thought he'd at least say hello, but I didn't think he'd get to the point.

The blacksmith, who didn't even introduce himself, opened his mouth, looking at Kalian sitting in front of him, dressed in black conquest.

"It's Narzan. The Elves don't use castles, so be advised."

Kalian looks back at the elder, who introduced himself as Narjan, without answering. Narjan considers why. He answers Plants briefly.

"Can't be short for Cairys forever." "

"Yes."

"Won't you tell me who you are?"

Calian smiles slightly, trying to get Gekko Khalian to put my name up. After that, he raised his head and replied.

"Prince Cairys."
