293 < Chapter 52. Be patient, brother (6) >

Black butterfly.

I remember a butterfly that looked like it had collected black stars or like it had carved up the black night sky.

Remembering that reminds me of the Sispanian and the strange comforts I received from the Sispanian. Thanks to you, Kalian is temporarily lost.

The Black Butterfly who wishes to die. Because I think it is not easy for the person who lived to comfort one to deal with the person who did not accept that one. Because I think he raised himself like this.

If he had not grown up viciously as a child of a snake, he would have already given a different order that year when he opened his eyes as Prince Cairis. If it's because of Devil that he survived and came here, the one who can do it is caught in a trap to deal with Devil. What else can I say?

"My brother must be very sick."

Plants' voice was staring at Calian silently. It's been a long time since Plants twisted his legs.

"I saw him barking in his head without being able to speak."

"I didn't think much of it."

"I'd rather wait for a banana to grow in Lenisita's cotton wool than believe that."

If you're gonna lie, make me believe you.

Calian sighs a little as he looks at you with just this face.

"I won't do it."

After that, Kalian gazed silently at the sea that looked far beyond the wide window and turned his gaze back into the room. Arsen and Arianne are visible.

I couldn't thank Arsen enough for coming to help. I haven't said a word to Arianne in a really long time. As soon as I opened my eyes, I had to hear what Plants had to say.

So Calian, who was about to tell them what to do, shut up. That's why there was a translucent membrane between them and Calian. Arsenal, who didn't fully trust Arianne, spread the Silent around her and Plants. There will be conversations to decide how to respond to the Devil's numbers, because Arianne was worried that she might have heard about something else.

"The Marquis Manasil."

"Since I asked you to come, you will come today."

"After that."

"If you come, it'll be nice to see you."

"Don't."

"Well, I'll send you to the Devil's bedroom right away. I was going to let Kiri know soon, but I don't think it would be much different if she knew."

"Now you're barking again."

With a small smile, Callian pauses very briefly, leaning his back against the head of the bed. And I just gave up on taking the deep cut back to a hard tree and stared at the plant with a fake error in it.

"Good hunting, brother."

"A bow."

"Have you ever seen a trap set?"

"Nothing."

A small voice comes from Calian's mouth, with a slightly wider waist.

"Traps are a little fun. He traps deer to catch deer, fox to catch foxes. But we don't really know what's going to happen in that trap. They get caught in whatever traps they have, foxes get caught in the traps they have along the way, and deer and fox get caught together on a really lucky day."

Just like Lennon was caught in a trap he made to sneak out and catch the Earl who was selling Cairys information with him.

"Devil set a trap for Chase. That's where you and I got stuck. I thought I had caught your attention, or mine, or Devil's, but I guess I haven't."

Devil's still trying to bring Chase down.

Not just curious Khalian or Plants, but Chase has not changed his mind about trying to hold on to his life in close proximity. Then he decided to kill her and deceived everyone, pretending to be curious about Plants.

Chase conspired with the nobles to kill Khalian and the two wizards, and then try to pretend he was trying to frame Devil for it.

"If Chase is working with you to fake an attack on me, I can blackmail him with that. If the Earl or anyone who didn't like this gets their heads cut off and shows his sincere apology, you won't be able to go to war either. There's a Balkan in your hand."

Chase wields the power of the nobles on his back, teaming up with Plants to drive Calian out. Even so, Remain can't start a war. One of the accomplices is his second son and his son has Balkan. In situations where Plants in the war had no idea whether to attack Cecritia or attack his father, Remain had to quietly move on.

When war breaks out, the only people who gain power are nobles and soldiers with soldiers. Therefore, if we wage war on this situation, Bricen's diminished strength will only increase and Plants with an army will increase. Devil knows it. Knowing this, I thought I would have made a calculation to save my life and my country by getting rid of Khalian.

Not as a teacher of Kalian, but as far as Allen sitting at the head of the army can go for Callian, he doesn't know. Devilan will never understand the nature of Plants. That's why Devilan got rid of Callian, put Chase in his hands, and built a trap that would add to his life. Callian and Plants caught on to it.

"· · · · · · · · · · ·. I don't think so."

At first, I thought so.

But there was something not quite right.

A little different from before looking for a vacation home, the two brothers had a proper conversation.

"If only one dies."

"That's right. If it was a trap that allowed you to live without dying, you should have done something about it." "

Callian opens his eyes for a moment.

Calian taps the black duvet over the bridge with his fingertips and clears his mind, opening his mouth again.

"Actually, I was a little curious. Why did they send the warriors and the prosecutors of Zeon away? The poison that was written on me meant I must have wanted to die, so why did they send it to me? Why didn't the warriors of Zeon intervene so the prosecutors could die? and."

I was thirsty after saying a long word, so I drank all of it from the cup of water that Kalian had placed beside the bed. Plants frowned on the uncomfortable attitude of drinking water, not doubting what was in the cup. Calian pauses for a moment, not caring much about his appearance, then rests again.

"I thought it was strange that the prosecutors were trying to kill you, even though you attacked first. As expected, I should have rushed to the end, but it was strange to make the two princes who were trying to hold hands too easily. I should have seen it coming. Neither I nor you had much in mind."

Calian blames his negligence for scarcely hinting at the color of peas and dozing off.

Calian stares at the ceiling chandeliers and windows alternately.

"Xeon. What do you think?" "

"I think Devilan was fooled, too."

"It's true that Zeon's behavior is a variable."

"Maybe."

He nods and opens his mouth, pausing again for a moment before opening his mouth.

"The knights who spoke to you when the warriors appeared on the sea did not have much reaction, so Devil prepared probably the first four Zeon warriors he encountered. And I think it was everyone who was sent to Bridget Forest."

"It seems like Devil didn't know how well my brother was ignoring me. I'm sure it is."

Calian grins, his puppy still treats him.

"If I'm going to get rid of trouble first, it's right to take care of Ser Ser Serene, so I must have sent members of Zeon to Bridget Forest as well. In fact, it would be a good thing for both of us to die, and it wouldn't matter if we didn't."

"· · · · · · · · Second."

"Yes. The prosecutor and two others, Zeon, were after you as well as me. It's not from the Devil. If you look at the warriors waiting until they're all dead, they're not entirely on the same side."

Devil sets a trap for Chase.

Calian, the concubine, set a trap together.

But then someone intervened.

"If two princes die side by side on this land, Devil's the worst loss."

Calian's death has nothing to do with Devil Lan, but Plants can't die either.

The fact that both brothers died during the fight, of course, would be an excuse. But if it does, the forces that bind Le Maine's movements with the Balkans will disappear. If he dies in Plants, Remain will have Balkan in his hands, and he must start a war to be wary of Brissen. The situation is completely reversed.

Plants' eyes sank again, recalling his concerns about the war he had when the sword flew away.

"There's really going to be a war."

Knock, knock.

The tip of Calian's hand makes a small noise.

"I don't trust you."

"I know. I don't know how he got Xeon, but Devilan was beheaded, too."

Then, who will benefit from the war between Cairis and Cecritia?

"When war breaks out, the nobles become stronger."

Plants nods.

"If there is a war between Cairis and Cecretia, it will benefit the rest of the country."

Inside, the nobles of Cecretia want war, outside, but not both countries. It means someone wants that war.

"The biggest thing is that Zeon, which is spread all over the continent, would have a leader, he wanted war, and he turned the nobles around and planned this. On the one hand, pretend you're working with Devil. On the other hand, they attracted the nobles who had been passed over to the oil. But the plan seems to have failed, so · · · · · · · What should I do? · · · · · · ·"

It is true that you have fallen into Devil's trap.

Devil was also nearly trapped by Zeon and the nobles. Devil wasn't caught in the trap because he survived.

So Calian is trapped by the Devil and the Devil is trapped by Zeon.

"That's funny."

Knock, knock.

"Kiri and the knights are still in the palace."

"You told me to keep an eye out. To the Marquis of Lean."

Plants' gaze, for a moment, turns away from the silent membrane.

"That's why I hired your new henchman to sneak Devil in."

It was Khalian who left the palace expecting an attack. I also expected that some of the nobles would eat other minds, even if they weren't accurate.

I didn't think I'd move Zen, but if the nobles are gathering, who will be at the center of it? You think about it, but first you leave Warden Lynn in charge. Since you're closest to Chase, the only person who can better understand what's going on with Chase is Marquis Lynn. He's in prison, but his ears and mouth aren't closed.

And Lord Han sent Aelle just in case anything goes wrong.

"Hey, you two princes. If you brought someone in, you should treat them. What's taking you so long?"

When Arianne notices that Kalian and Plants once looked at her, she raises her questions aloud. When Calian saw that, he laughed and held his breath again.

"The most peaceful hostage in the world."

If Khalian does not return to the palace, Eila carries out her first order, arresting Arianne and bringing her in front of her. The daughter of Earl Lynn, who has been so held up, points to her stomach.

Instead of saying hello to an old friend I don't remember, he asked me to solve the hunger first, rather than the situation where his mother was suspected of being behind this.

"Eat and come. When I get in touch with Chase,"

Callian silences.

Plants saw the same thing.

- Prince Kalian. Is that correct?

A ring that glows like it's been waiting.

What came through was not Chase's voice.

- · · · · · · · Talk. Lord Castrin.

Calian holds his breath again.

Sweet on the outside and bitter on the inside.

Add thin chocolate to the stir-fried almonds and repeat to harden. A piece of almond the size of a fingernail has been added several times to the size of a small finger. This produces sweet and salty chocolate that looks crispy and does not spoil the hardness of almonds.

"The chef's skills have improved."

I slowly chewed almond chocolate made of a few layers of bitter chocolate overlaid with milk and soft chocolate filled with sugar. And Alan, who swallowed all the almond pieces in his mouth with a coffee full of milk froth and cinnamon, was quite pleased.

Le Maine drops a bunch of documents in front of Allen, who still doesn't understand why she eats something so sweet. After that, he complimented the other chefs on behalf of the ones who are skilled at making diligent sweets.

"The Balkans are normalizing faster than I thought. I thought it would be confusing to suddenly inflate my body."

"You didn't have to worry."

"I find it hard to get along with the Wizards and Knights."

"The Wizard had such prejudices when he wanted to assemble an army."

"I heard they have very different personalities."

Alan's finger turns toward the almond chocolate he was just grabbing.

"I put the melting man and the hard man together, and it tastes so good. What's the difference?" "

Alan says that after another cup of coffee, he opens his mouth.

"Even those who think about raising ducks in the Royal Wagon aren't necessarily confused. There's no reason why such wizards and the knights raised by those who think of themselves as rye cookies can't get along."

The wizards of the Balkans are skilled at fighting.

They weren't foolish enough to stand in one place, casting spells and slash the knight's sword for nothing.

With one such wizard and one knight, more than nine out of ten wizards would prevail. Earl Eiffel never envied the difference. Although there are individual power cars, we also know that the difference between maneuverability and numbers never slows down the knights. The knights you raised came to Balkan, giving you the exact difference between a wizard and a knight. The Knights of Bricen have recovered their minds under Plants' hands.

So there is no reason not to get along with each other.

"Keep an eye out for anxiety. It's a decent army, so it's going to look great in the future."

You don't know who's responsible for all the great Balkans, and you have no reason to worry. You don't seem to have the ability to worry, so just keep your eyes open. I thought you'd say this, but I came to you this morning, picked up some chocolate and took it without a single bite.

He looks at Allen for a moment and opens his mouth, taking off his glasses.

"Something else happened."

"You can see that."

"You are a great person who treats me differently every time something happens to the Three Princes. There must be a reason to say sweet things like that."

Alan smiles and says,

"I'm glad you didn't greet your children like cows after sending them to another country."

"· · · · · · What is needed."

"Your Majesty's head."

"I thought it was always hanging. I don't know what to do."

"There's something I need to know."

"Talk to me."

"Let all authority of the Balkans rest on Prince Plants. You have control over Prince Plants."

Alan was originally in charge of the wizards and knights of the Balkans, as well as of the captains of both armies. It was said to be handed over to prince two and king cairus in secritia.

"The Peacock will be here soon to chat with his fiancée's father. I'll also introduce you to a rare guest who has found the mansion, so instead of saying no, let him stay in the royal palace for a few days and see the Knights of the Balkans."

I didn't know who was staying in Siegfried's mansion. So he knew, of course, that the precious guest who was staying at the ducal palace was not referring to Riley Brycen.

Siona Hill.

The situation requires Le Maine to have the same level of power as Khalian in the palace, handing over the commander of the Balkans to the Plants, and the authority to move the Plants herself.

Le Maine, who pressed her eyebrows, asked a question instead of an answer.

"You've been relieved of command of Deputy Hertz. Do I ask you to do the same?"

"Termination. Those guys over there will do their part even if the commander is gone for a while, so trust me, it won't be too bad."

"Temporary or permanent termination."

"If the map of Cecritia has to change, it will be permanent dismissal. It's not what I want."

"· · · · · Trouble on the inside of the princes?"

"That's right."

"Then it's war you need, not your dismissal."

"If you go to war with Cecretia, what you see of your sons will be lost forever. You're just happy you can't see the winter."

Alan checks his time and opens his mouth again.

"And I have a favor to ask you."

"Talk to me."

"Cezawi, why don't you put it down now?"

Lemaine takes a deep breath.

* * *

I'm wearing a white shirt.

He wore a black jacket with a half-neck collar and black pants. I looked at Cairis' crest, embroidered in gold, for a moment, and wore a long coat with a golden button. And you wear a red cape with black fur trim.

"Are you sure you're okay with this?"

It was the Knights of Cairus and Kiri who stayed in the palace.

A parish-looking Khalian, not so much as Plants, returns to the royal palace of Cecretia. Looking into the situation, I decided to gather my body for a while and came first.

"It's okay."

Uriah and Rachel were still staying in the Wizard's Society, and Arsen first stayed in the villa with Arianne. It was a request from Chase to protect Arianne who was taken hostage.

"· · · · · · Chase."

"He's inside."

"Your mother."

There were no answers to the subsequent questions.

Calian nods quietly and sets foot inside the palace.

At the same time, the Knights of Cecritia surround the Knights of Cairys standing beside them, like escorts to Khalian, Plants, Kirie, and others.

"The royal order is to escort Prince Cairys to a safer place, as the movements of the Firebearers have been confirmed within the palace." "

"· · · · · · · I don't think you want to be safe."

"I'm sorry, Prince Kalian. We'll take you right to the annex."

Kalian's eyes narrow.

When such a Khalian opened his mouth to speak of Moore.

- Whoo-hoo!

You notice a huge magical movement in front of the palace.

A joyous look in Calian's eyes and Plants bites one foot back.

Subsequently, a red swarm of light gathered in the void where there was nothing, creating a human figure.

"Master."

"Long time no see, Prince Kalian."

Alan walks quietly, wrapped in a red robe.

"And · · · · · · · · · ·."

Alan's eyes greet Plants with a soft smile.

"Your Royal Highness."
