294 < Chapter 52. Be patient, brother (7) >

Early morning sunshine.

- Again, again.

A small voice echoes through the hallway full of wide windows. Louis dressed in a sky blue dress with a sparkly embellishment moved on without a word.

Louise's feet stopped, walking steadily to the end of the hall. The guard who was blocking the door in front of him bows.

"I was told not to let anyone in today."

"You should tell me first, since I know."

"I'm sorry."

Louise points to the doorknob.

"Should I open it with my own hands?"

"As I told you today · · · · · · · · · ·."

At that moment, you hear a sound from inside the door.

"There you go. Take her."

It was the Devil.

Devilan always showed his deepest loyalty and consideration to Louisiana and the dead. Chase didn't show much of a blemish until recently. It means, of course, that it was in plain sight. Only Devil can know how he felt about it.

Either way, Devil's permission falls through, and the knight opens the door without stopping any further.

Devilan walks on the couch and says hello before Louis comes inside.

"It's been a while."

"· · · · · · · Yes. Your Majesty."

It is true that there were difficulties with being a couple, but it has been a long time since we have met each other. For this reason, Louise sits across from Devil Lane with a short answer.

Not long ago, the Grand Chamberlain came in and put down two cups of tea and left. Louise's silent gaze reached the cup.

"Yes. You wouldn't be looking for me to share with Saddam. What's going on?"

"I'm here to tell you to stop."

Louise raises her head and answers quietly.

Devil shakes his head with a smile as he looks at Louise for a moment and gives her an answer.

"I don't know what you're asking me to stop."

"Everything you're doing, stop it."

"I still value you and care for my son. I am also committed to running my country. Which of them can you stop?"

"I know His Majesty intends to frame the three of you. We also know what you're trying to do by making up lies. Such charge · · · · · · · · ·"

"That doesn't sound good. I want you to be a little bit more careful about the stories that you tell."

"I watched all those who died because of your greed. I saw how she and my family were killed and how they were hidden. How many soldiers died last night. I've heard the same thing."

"Louise."

Devil stares at Louis.

But Louise wouldn't stop talking.

"Even those who were deposed and executed at Queen Cairys' throne were in Libern's homeland, but not as much blood as you. You are a clear sinner. So stop it."

"Enough."

Devil raises his hand to stop Louise from speaking.

Devil opens his mouth, looking at Louis with a soft face that cannot be found in anger.

"I have harmed my health by not doubting a poisonous sleeping aroma, which is one of my faults. But that's it, so I suggest you stop insisting and go back. I don't want to turn my back on you or the three of us yet."

"You've already turned your back from the beginning. The way you chose was wrong. He lived by taking only the ways he shouldn't have chosen."

"What if I make the wrong choice? It's also a way to live your life."

Devilan smiles and replies with a small voice.

Lewis reaches out quietly and raises his cup of tea, looking at his attitude. He then hung on to the end for a moment.

"You have to say it was not just a way to live, but a way to live as a king. He lived his whole life cowardly because he was afraid of taking his place. You'd better punish me properly and let go of my hand. This is my first and last request."

"Louise, I've said everything I need to say."

Devil said this and smiled at those other than Louise and Diena.

"· · · · · · · Understood."

Louise drinks a cup of tea in her hand.

- Cheers.

And instead of getting up from your seat after putting it down, you take out another word with a calm face.

"I have a very thorough record of your mistakes. You said you hid it well, but the Queen and I had to keep track of you. We also wrote about your illness and detailed what you're doing to fix it. The nobles who saw it will no longer fear you."

"I know. There are no perfect secrets in the world, and I always think there will be evidence if I find them. Even though they know it, the nobles can't hold the hand of the Seeker. Aren't they fools who borrow the power of the wrong people because they don't believe in whose side the tax collector will be on?"

Devilan pauses, thinking for a moment and opens his mouth again.

"If not, I would have made a new king who has not mixed my blood. Can those greedy people decide who will be made king? They don't move like that."

"That's all right. From now on, you'll believe in Cesar, not you."

"Do you think so?"

"I'm not going to kill myself," he added. And if that ever happened, it was never my intention. "

Louise looks at Devil Lane.

Devilan does not speak, and Louise does not stop.

"Everyone in the world knows that Cesar worries about me and follows me more than anyone else. So if I do what you say in your hands, you and I will be completely separated. At that time, the nobles will be able to hold Cesar's hand with peace. Even the nobles who are so foolish can think and act. When they learn of your illness and choose to believe in the Seeker, they will not ignore your sins. I'm sure you don't know."

"· · · · · · Louise."

"Your Grace."

Louise's voice cracks a little.

"You can't just set a trap. I feel the same. I know how to risk mine to take your life. because I learned from you."

Devil frowns.

Louise's eyes do not waver.

"· · · · · · Like another son of His Majesty."

Woof.

The red one was filled up.

A red dress with the eyes of Louis and Chase on it.

* * *

There is Xeon in Cecretia.

Thanks to Zeon's intervention, the two princes of Cairys have been forced to die. It was a situation where I didn't know who would attack again and when. I wasn't sure if I'd make it back to Cairys alive. So Calian came to the villa, not the royal palace of Cecritia.

- Master, I need you to come here for a moment.

- Yes, I do.

And then I called Alan. As always, Alan did not ask about Katabuta, but accepted Kalian's words.

Of course, we cannot assume the position of commander of the Balkans in order for Alan to arrive. I had to come to Alan Manasil, Prince Kalian's teacher, Prince Cairis, and the Baron of Cecretia.

That was fine. We didn't even realize we were blind and unaware of each other anyway, so we decided to just drop out of office as much as Arsen did. That's what Callian thought. Until then, so did I.

- Please return to Cairys now. His Holiness, His Holiness, begged me to spare him.

But I got a call from Tailan.

Instead of being unable to read faces, the emotions convey in an orderly fashion. Tailan shudders.

- Here's the file that Lynn's baby took. Hide it in the villa, please. Take me to Cairys with you. For your protection.

Something happened.

After seeing the Silent membranes still standing, Khalian gives his word.

"Sir Castrin. I'm telling you to go back to Cairys. protecting Arianne."

"What's going on?"

Callian shakes his head and asks Tailan instead.

- Where's Mr. Chase?

- He's here with me, but I can't speak to Prince Kalian right now.

- I'm having a tough time right now. Please explain exactly what happened.

- He was investigating the birds because it looks like some of the nobles attacked Prince Kalian. You've been in constant contact with the Wizard Association.

It was expected.

Chase would have understood what was going on, even if Callian hadn't told him the exact details.

- My concubine, you and the Queen Dowager have been mutilated.

My fingertips stopped moving. The red eyes closed.

It was short, but I understood what it meant. I understood why Louise did what she did. I wanted to put a curse on Calian's head as soon as I found out why, but regardless, his head was steadily moving.

Who could have imagined the way he drank poison to drive his opponent away? And that.

- What is your status?

- Not good. Since it is said that it must be two to three days long, it cannot last that long. If the worst happens, I won't be looking around anymore. I'm also waiting for your order, so it would be wise for the prince to leave Secreta in a hurry. You can get caught up in this.

- One moment, Lord Castrin.

I clenched my fist tightly.

- I'll get back to you. One moment, please.

- Aye, sir.

He once again clenched his fist.

Plants' eyes turn thin as they see their hands tremble, and Calian's eyes quietly turn towards Plants.

"Hina · · · · · · · · is required. Brother."

Kalian stands up with the message.

Plants intercepted Kalian.

"If you go to the palace of Cecritia in this situation, you won't know that either Devil or Zeon won't let you down."

"We can stop them. I... And the teacher will come, so nothing more will happen."

"After fixing it. After that."

You summoned Hina and asked her what she would do after treating Louise. If I can't protect myself, I can't protect Hina properly. With Devil no longer able to remain calm with Hina nearby and Zeon still unaware of where she might be.

"I haven't forgotten about Cecretia. Don't worry, we'll be on our way."

"Even the Marquis Manasil will come dressed like a crazy-haired wizard."

"That's right."

"I don't know how much the two princes of nothin 'will take into account the wizards' ropes. Don't take it personally. Be prepared."

It meant that we needed something greater than strength, not strength.

Being safe under Allen's protection, knowing about the attackers, helping Chase get back to work, and mobilizing to Allen right now to fight his way back was a completely different matter.

"It was you who taught me that the power of being accountable is as important as being accountable to your position."

"· · · · · · You know what happens when a teacher comes here with the title of commander."

Plants used to say the same thing even before he found the Elven City. Of course, since it was learned from Kalian, it wasn't that Kalian didn't know about it. However, the problem was that as the position increased, the range of responsibility increased, but also the aftermath of the behavior increased. That's why he has been promoted and demoted to Arsenal for so long.

"That's what Marquis Manasil will do when he puts on the title of commander. Why don't I get in a good position as commander?"

"Sir."

Calian turns away from distraction for a moment and looks at Plants. Now I understand what Plants is saying.

It means that the threatened person can have a high position, not a third party who came to help the threatened prince. If the empty-handed prince who came to play with us becomes Prince Charming, then if the situation with Khalian reverses overnight, no one will be able to do anything rashly.

"I know things are bad with Randall, but you're forgetting all about him."

Two princes are gone, and both the captain and deputy commander of the Balkans are free. Siona will look after the safety of the palace for a while, but that means nothing but protecting Remain's life.

So if things had been any different between Calian and Plants who had gone to the Palace of Cecritia, would Landel have stood still? Precisely the same as Earl Grey Bricen or Tensyl, which touches Randall.

"That's for you to do."

I've never been a father before, so I can work hard, care about my father, and use my head. That shouldn't be too hard.

"I thought you were going to find out what Tensyl was up to anyway."

"It wasn't like this. Sezawi is not a place to just climb up and down like a Balkan uniform and a prince's conquest."

"It's not impossible to get off."

"Enough nonsense. If you do, you'll die. Why · · · · · · ·"

"I'm not saying I want to die, I'm saying I want to live."

Plants cuts off Khalian's horse, then the horse.

"My brother told me it's a way to live with cats."

"· · · · · · The cat was not the cat."

I thought Plants only resembled the Sispanians, but I guess Hartsara's blood was mixed. I can see you're being unreasonable.

A long sigh comes out of Calian's mouth, trying to cope with his worries about Louise and growing.

"Even if you do not insist on avoiding what you want to avoid, you can find a way."

"War, you said. This time, maybe that's it."

This steady plant extends its arm. He snatches out the bracelet from his wrist as if it were his own. Plants frowned at Calian, who could not cope well with either of them, and said, applying magic to the bracelet connected to Allen.

"I wish my brother, who can't lie, would stop barking and stand still."

Plants raises one lip, looking at Calian's face as if he didn't know who he was barking at.

"Camelon, I'm going to help you get a dog."

Kalian wraps his head around it.

* * *

Plants bites one foot back.

Just a little distance from Allen.

A little street made up of Callian and Allen. In the meantime, Alan lowers his waist slightly to show an example and says,

"Your Majesty has made a decision on the position of three. Starting today."

"I know."

Plants looks at Kalian for a moment.

Kalyan looks down slightly, looking at Plants with an unfinished look on his face. I didn't say anything else.

Soon, Alan approaches Calian and opens his cloak to talk.

"Are you out on a cold day like this?"

Distribution of forces.

Power and position to Plants, Alan to Callian.

It was an act to make this situation visible, but I was serious about it. Kalian smiles and nods, knowing it.

"It's a little hard to stand."

It was surprisingly Plants, not Alan. Plants turns his head to the knights.

"My brother says it's hard to stand. Are you going to keep it up?"

"No matter how different the country is, what attitude is this against your countrymen and princes? Do you think you've been treated like this all this time?"

Allen adds a voice.

The Red Robe Wizard in front of the palace.

Unlike when you first found Cairis, it's not even dark now. I could see the unusual hair color very well. Alan Manasil, I think.

The knight who heard the reprimand from the Great Wizard appeared suddenly calmly replied.

"So I said I would take you inside."

"Nowhere."

Plants hangs up.

"This is the annex, Prince Plants. As I said, in the royal palace,"

"No."

Plants, who cut him off again, looks around the knights and says slowly.

"That's too short of an idea. My frail brother won't be able to make it to the annex, so I'm going to need another place to rest."

Sispanian.

The power of blessing should have been a little less considerate. I think I'm going to die because I'm unfair, not because I'm sick.

"· · · · · · Be patient, brother. I'm fine."

Calian leans forward slightly to Alan, who barely helped him with his one hand in the words of Plants, who had adapted to the new position. The smoke is halfway up, and Alan clenches his tongue in half because he was really struggling.

"And now that I, Cesar, am returning to this palace, I must give my regards to the king of Cecretia. Right now."

You said you didn't want to go to Camelon.

There was no fish that met the water.

Very arrogant Plants tries to contact Chase again while continuing to quarrel with the knight.

- · · · · · · Kalian.

And then I heard the answer.

Chase's voice is finally heard.

- I'm worried about you.

- Not that you're worried. How's your mother?

Chase raises his concerns about Calian first. Instead of saying hello, Calian raises his head.

- It's not getting any worse. I don't know.

- You're gonna be okay. So don't think about it, just hang on a second.

Chase doesn't answer.

Kalian's head shifts slightly to the side. Callian looks up to the Knights of Cairys who were with him, and calms Chase down.

- I'm here. With Hina.
