Of course they recognized Demirea.

However, no response was seen.

If you were here to investigate the explosion, you wouldn't look like this. So Demirea's mouth opened first, guessing why they came.

"It's Demirea from Siegfried."

What a family man. Who's son, what position he's in. He simply declared himself as if he didn't need to mention such things. In fact, I didn't even have to talk about it, but I did mention it. The user doesn't even respect the target.

"Taden Gaylemann of the Water Guard. I'm here to see the Duke."

"What brings you from the Capital Guard to the troops?"

"I'm here to check on the explosion."

Demirea takes a look around.

Then I stood over Eila and gave her the answer.

"There are no innocent casualties. Siegfried will handle the rewards for the broken items, so go back."

"I have someone to investigate, Duke."

"Who are you talking about?"

"I heard the perpetrator of the explosion was here."

"Magic grenades exploded in midair. It's not good to be called a murderer for someone involved."

"We're also conducting an investigation into what broke this place."

"Are you saying you want to investigate Prince Kalian's people?"

- Polygon.

I heard a familiar name and pretended to know Raven. Demirea opens her mouth, pointing to Raven, who lifts one of her white furry front legs and rolls the floor lightly.

"As you can see, Prince Three is here. Then I guess it's Balkans, not the Capital Guard. I guess not."

The Royal Family's involvement was not part of the Water Guard. This is what Balkan needs to do. Just as the Capital Guard immediately handed over all investigative authority to the royal court after arresting Kyrie, who had once destroyed a gambling den.

Towards Demirea, who mentioned it, the guard opened his mouth again.

"Why did you use magic bullets? What did you mean by that? You need to check it out for yourself. Little Duke."

"How many times do I have to tell you to understand me?"

Demirea's voice has changed.

The same type of tone that lowers the opponent even further, but doesn't sound like the usual Demirea.

"But, Duke."

The opposing Pokémon doesn't back down.

You insist as if you were going to take Aelle before the Balkans arrived, as if you were going to take her and leave before Callian showed up here.

"If you keep stopping us, we'll have to force our way out. Please step back."

"Do you think it's possible? Only eight."

"I trust you will step back."

It's unbelievable.

Knowing that the man in front of them is the Peacock of Siegfried.

Even the Duke of Siegfried's dominance could not be ignored, but the only place that could harm or reward themselves was because he knew better that it was Brycen, not Siegfried. After all, if I catch the woman behind me and hand her over to the erl, I was promised to protect her from anyone and accept her as the erl's knight before daybreak.

Demirea looks at him.

I've heard all about what happened to Grey, who met with Callian. Now Grey is trying to take Calian away from Rashid and grab Eila, who seems to have been following her, into the palm of her hand to deal with her. That's obvious.

Nevertheless, Demirea no longer utters any other words. He doesn't make a move to stand in front of Taden.

"Then I'll pass, Duke."

He stepped back and acted out. Demirea, who has been standing in the way so far, shuts up. I thought I should be angry, but I didn't say anything.

But there was a problem. The rest of the guards, who were supposed to follow behind him, remain motionless. No one else said anything.

Then Taden turns his head, feeling strange.

I looked back.

The knights in black rush in and stand between Demirea and Taden. You can see others standing around leaning down towards someone deeply.

"· · · · · · · Now."

Someone's coming.

A low, low voice echoes the silent distance.

"Are you going to disregard the Peacock's words and get involved in the royal affairs?"

I see a silver white horse.

I can see the eyes of the person sitting on it.

"Dare."

Her green eyes squeeze at you, looking down at her.

I said it was delicious.

Then God began to speak to me alone.

- Spinach soup was delicious, Deputy Commander. It was as good as my sister made it.

- · · · · · · · Chicken.

- Oh, sir, did you know that? That's right, my twin sister packs my sandwich and Lucy Anne's line snacks. I'm a really good cook.

The conversation I had with Nedlen, who said he'd go out and kill everyone and come back. That reminds me.

- When my sister first opened the cafe, people were so afraid of her that they wouldn't go into the store. He's about this big and he's terrifying. Your forearms appear to be thicker than Estina's or hind legs. And yet, they continue to exercise.

- Why?

- He's scared of me. Because I'm scared, and you don't want to be scared of me, and you're growing muscles like that. Oh, by the way, his name is Scarlet. It's weird, isn't it?

- Not weird.

I'm glad. I must tell my brother. My deputy commander told me not to forget the last letter of my name on purpose. That's what they all say. My brother and I changed our names.

I didn't know why the story went so far.

Hearing the word spread in unexpected directions seems to have pushed back the story I heard from Grey and put off other thoughts, so it was fun, I just kept listening.

- Actually, it's changed. My father didn't know how to read, and my mother died giving birth to us. But I guess a therapist told my mother not long before we were born that we were twins of a different gender. So I'm Scarlet, and my brother's Needleine. Let's build it like this. My mother wrote two names and gave them to my father. And then we were born, and our mother died. My father, who was trying to tell the clerk that we were born, changed both our names.

Suddenly, the fun disappeared and became a heavy story.

- The clerk asked me if my name was real, but I guess my dad just said that because he didn't want me to know he couldn't read. Anyway, when we were 11 years old, my father died, and we never had to change our names again.

- Where did you live?

- In his old house. My brother and I lived together.

It's a really, really heavy story. A story that came out of a spinach soup and spread to the wrong place.

But Plants just kept listening. You can't think of it as fun or boring to hear someone's life story.

- I learned magic shortly after my father died. So here we are. In fact, I was taught to live with nothing while protecting my brother, but I became afraid of him. Isn't that fun?

- It's not funny.

- I guess I said too much, Deputy Director. You must be busy. Amazing, isn't it? I was a kid.

Needlen smiles for a moment as she looks at Plants.

- I wasn't that great. He was scared and he cried a lot. It still reminds me, holding his brother's hand, standing on the Senho River, lifting up my father's drill, Anelucia. I was too scared to come home at night. I came home from a deserted road, and I saw Scarlet's face turned blue. I didn't want to see that.

- Yes, I am.

- I was scared too, but I didn't want to see it. But what difference did it make? Since I was a child, I think anyone would have been the same. Me, too. I didn't have much talent for magic, so I was forced to become strong. Not great, not hard, not terrified, but in the end, it just happened.

- Yeah.

- But one day I came home and saw a boar rushing towards Scarlet. I saw it, and I didn't know what courage I had, but I stopped it, and I used magic without knowing it. And what had never been done was immediately gone.

Needleen raises his hand and draws a huge circle, unwittingly unwitting what he is saying.

- I caught a Boar about this size at once. I did, and then after that, the fear just went away. I was able to do magic.

Plants nods.

- Maybe they all are. So you have to be great, you have to be strong. You don't have to do that on purpose. even if you don't have to pretend like you're okay and try to be tough as you go. Everyone will get stronger and stronger one day without me knowing it.

I was just suggesting dinner with spinach soup.

I learned another thing.

- Got it.

* * *

Anyway, he's not listening.

I told him not to wait, not to come, to go back, and not to go back. I came to Gekko.

- Jubbuck, Jubbuck.

Someone who can't fly like Calian, but won't run away, shows up on the rooftop stairs.

"I've been looking forward to meeting you, Prince Plants."

Rashid smiles as if he didn't know why he was so pleased with that pea. He gave a polite example of what he looked like to Calian.

Plants nods and looks at Calian with an example. And you glance at his well-hidden face and turn your eyes to Rashid, saying, "Why are you so reluctant to listen?"

I opened my mouth with a face that did not have a happy look.

"It's been a while."

Then, I came up with an unexpected answer.

Khalian became surprised, and Rashid became joyful.

"Do you remember me?"

"There's a reason I can't."

"I thought you were reluctant and forgot. On the first and last day I saw you, something bad happened."

The cold wind blows.

A fierce floral melody that doesn't fade even slightly is swollen.

"Something bad happened."

"Don't you remember that?"

I don't know if something bad happened.

I definitely have a bad feeling about this.

Calian opens his mouth, standing still like a sack of barley he left behind and watching the situation hard. Recently boiled, pickled, changing the condition as the sun goes down, I'm going to try to rescue my brother before he drowns again.

But I couldn't connect the words.

"My mother tried to snap your neck and your father's. I remember."

Plants raises his head.

You lift one lip up toward Rashid.

"Something bad happened. I don't know."

Kalyan frowns slightly at the unexpected appearance of Plants. And the emotion flashed on Rashid's face for a moment.

Pure malice.

Or, pure pleasure.

It flashed for a moment.

"I'm glad you still got it. It's really nice to see that it hasn't changed. Your Majesty."

Rashid bows slightly and raises his head.

"Lie to the skirt widows of the former queen of Silique. Under his brother's shadow. It would have been different just looking out the window in the greenhouse, so I was wondering what had changed."

Kalian raises his head.

- Jubbuck.

Plants moves his feet.

As if I didn't hear anything.

Just don't let Callian snap his neck. I walked very slowly.

The wind blows.

It had a dark, flowery aroma.

"· · · · · · · · · · · Ha."

Callian laughs in vain without my knowledge.

An odorless scent.

A lily aroma from Needlelen very occasionally. It was seeping out of Plants.

I sprinkled perfume on my body with my hands.

- Jubbuck, Jubbuck.

He comes in with a fragrance that makes his glabella frown frown.

After that.

- Tak.

You stand in front of Callian.

"Can't you see it's different?"

Plants answered.

I can't see Rashid's face.

I couldn't see anything other than the pea's back, so Calian hardened his face.

"More shade. It was worth it."

"· · · · · · · · Brother. Now."

You hear no reply from Kalian.

Instead, the answer leads to Rashid.

"By the way, even though I don't seem to have changed, you've certainly changed."

"Have I changed?"

I know what Rashid looks like better than Callian. I know what Kalian did to Grey that I shouldn't be getting involved with anyone right now. After all, if Calian stops that guy who will end up with Plants, he'll eventually figure out that he's the one who's going to get rid of him without any means to stop him.

Because it shouldn't be.

"My mother cared so much for your worthless father. I thought I could live in a good place thanks to you."

A low voice heads towards Rashid.

"No, I think you've been through a lot."

Plants' hands point behind his back.

- Mine, mine.

My brother's solemn tiger turns to Khalian.
