Chapter 28

Chapter 7. The roses will bloom soon (1)

When I returned to the palace in the morning, I took a nap and woke up to find Jan, whose eyes had turned red, sitting right next to me and looking at Kalian. The angry Calian jumped up from his seat and pulled his body back.

“Surprise.”

It was difficult to see that Yan’s eyes were bloodshot and dark under his eyes, as if he had slept at all.

“I waited all night, so I told you to get some sleep too...”

“Prince.”

Yan, with a serious expression, cut off Calian’s words.

“Why do you drink morning tea?”

Calian made a sad face because he seemed to suspect that it was poisoned.

“You gave it to me.”

It was a word containing a small rebuke.

Of course, I had no intention of blaming him for not knowing that the tea was poisoned. Because Calian, the person involved, did not suspect poison. I was just a little grumpy at the dull sincerity with which he brought me that tea every morning.

Yan, who did not receive an answer to his question to check whether he knew what it meant or not, reached out to the nightstand next to the bed.

There was morning tea that I hadn’t drunk yet.

Jan picked it up and brought it to his mouth without hesitation.

Calian’s eyes turned sharp.

-Tap!

Kalian snatched the teacup from Jan’s mouth. The wind caused the tea to spill and fall on the floor. Yan, who was looking at the brown water seeping into the carpet, clenched his fists without realizing it.

Calian, who saw that, also became angry.

Don’t you think they will try to kill you if you tell them what you have hidden?

Why is everyone being so extreme without even asking nicely?

“What are you doing!”

Calian shouted fearfully at Yan and urgently stretched out his hand to look at Yan’s face.

“Did you swallow it?”

Jan removed Calian’s hand. It was an unusual behavior, but I didn’t have the presence of mind to pay attention to it. Calian became frustrated with Yan’s silence and raised his voice again.

“Did you eat it?”

“I didn’t eat it!”

Jan shouted at him. Kalian did not reprimand Jan for that. After a while, Jan opened his mouth.

“I gave poison to the prince with my own hands.”

Then he looked at Calian without another word. That expression revealed everything Yan wanted to say. All kinds of swear words, anger and regret appeared and disappeared repeatedly.

All of that was directed at Yan himself, not Kalian.

“I was wondering why since someone who couldn’t even use a knife asked for a knife.”

That damn knife. I bought it for no reason!

“I made a connection to the prince’s condition. When I remembered the medicine that Lord Manasil gave me, I remembered Lord Manasil’s son who was poisoned in Riverne.”

Calian looked at Yan in surprise.

I didn’t know anything about Alan’s work. Only then did she understand why Alan had looked around so much when he first saw her and how he knew her condition intimately.

“Then I started thinking about poison. And so I kept thinking about it. I thought it might be something for morning tea.”

When I took the teacup away, it was as if I had already confirmed it.

I was worried that he might blame himself because of his personality, but fortunately, Yan responded more calmly than expected.

“... Is it silique?”

Usually, Jan did not call Silike that way.

If they said yes, they were ready to attack Heisia Palace at any moment. Calian looked at Yan for a moment and then quietly answered.

“Why? To get revenge?”

“There’s nothing you can’t do.”

It was a cold voice. The blood had disappeared from Yan’s fist. Calian shook his head.

“Let the elephants be. There will be war.”

Jan, who was about to say something, closed his mouth.

I am now repeating what Calian said in my head. Yan looked at Calian in silence for a long time.

Finally, a surprised voice came out from my lips.

“......omg.”

This was because I was not sure of the possibility.

It was a completely understandable reaction. Because everyone did that. I heard that there was no one who didn’t laugh when Lemain said he would gather wizards to form an army.

Now Alan is thinking the same thing.

How can you make an army out of wizards? Would such an army function properly? Called.

“It was possible.”

That was an answer that gave me more confidence than any other words. Because it was already a testimony to the past and the future.

“That too was accomplished in this Kyris. It was accomplished solely in the hands of Lemain.”

“her.”

Alan let out a laugh and Calian continued.

“When Lemaine changed his stance of treating wizards poorly overnight and created a group of wizards, I heard that Briesen did not think it was worth opposing it. It would disappear naturally. Thanks to that, it was created. Since it was possible once, we are speeding up the timing. So there’s no reason why you can’t make it.”

Alan didn’t answer.

I have already started thinking about how to create and operate it. But there was something more important to tell before that, so Calian interrupted Alan’s thoughts for a moment.

“It took quite a long time to form a proper army. But right after the Wizards were fully formed, Lemaine died. It was a mysterious death.”

How he died and the cause of his death are completely unknown. The completed wizard corps was handed over to Plantz, who inherited the throne.

For that reason, Plantz, not Lemain, felt the power of the wizards, and Secretia felt it keenly.

“So this time, it won’t be easy. It will be dangerous. It’s a completely different task than simply gathering wizards based on the Master’s reputation.”

“You’re not asking if you can do it because it’s dangerous, but you’re asking me to take note because there’s something I need to do and it involves risk.”

“Yes, that’s right. It’s necessary, but I’m worried.”

Alan, who was looking at the calm face of his student who was entrusted with a new and dangerous task, slightly tilted his head towards Calian. And he spoke in a low voice, as if telling a secret story.

“Actually, I’m pretty good at magic.”

It probably means don’t worry.

When Calian smiled and nodded, Alan spoke again.

“But it won’t be easy to start.”

If Alan steps forward and creates a wizard group, the Briesen family will not ignore it like they did when LeMaine pushed ahead with the project. There was bound to be a disruption.

“Yes. That’s why I’m telling you now.”

After answering that, Kalian looked at the tree swaying in the wind for a moment and then brought up the most important story in the matter.

“Sooner or later, there will be another chance for Lemain to exchange gifts with Silike. It’s like reducing some of the benefits of the Brissen Merchant Marine in exchange for overlooking Plantz’s mistakes. This time, I will be the one to look after Silike’s mistake.”

“Are you planning to finally defeat the poisonous tea?”

Calian stuck out his tongue as Alan immediately understood what he meant.

What was he thinking of trying to deceive such a person? .

“You’re really quick-witted. you’re right. I’m going to clean up the car now. However, as I said before, Silike cannot be punished for this incident. So, I plan to use a slightly different method.”

The wizard’s testimony and the record of importing the poisonous Crimosa alone could not serve as evidence that Silike gave poisoned tea to Calian. Moreover, if it is revealed that he drank the poisoned tea, Calian’s surroundings Since everyone would suffer damage one after another, Calian gave up the idea of punishing Silike.

“May I ask what method you use?”

Calian only smiled slightly instead of answering. It meant that he would not go into detail yet.

“Silike . I will do my best to use the fact that you poisoned me as an excuse for negotiation. If that happens, Briesen will not be able to make a big noise as it will be an accident to Silike following Plantz’s mistake of speech not long ago. So, at that time, you can ask Marquis Brissen and Sillike not to interfere with the creation of the Wizards’ Order.”

Alan nodded.

“And the Wizards’ Association needs help with the matter of stopping the car. “Once it’s all sorted out, I’ll ask you a favor.”

“I understand. You can tell me at any time.”

Alan answered willingly, thinking of someone for a moment and opened his mouth.

“Anyway, once the problem with the prince’s private car is resolved, Lemain will also be able to relax.” ”

What do you mean, Lemain will spend an entire hour?” ”

Actually. The day I came here, I got a little angry at Lemain’s behavior. Then, he started telling me what kind of gift Silike was giving the prince.” Alan explained what was being

exchanged at the time with these words. Calian, who thanked me for listening intently, lost in thought for a moment and then nodded. He nodded.

“Thanks to Master, I will gain more from this work. You may need some luck.”

After saying that, Calian returned to his original story and continued.

“Anyway, we never know when they will make another mistake as big as trying to kill the prince, so we must negotiate this time. To do that, you need to have a plan, at least the outline of the wizard group. So please get started right away. Please share your opinions with Lemain. There must be a lot of things Lemain was thinking about.”

“You’re treating your old master too much.” ”

Jan says you’re very cheerful. That’s why I’m going to treat you without compunction.”

Alan’s soft laughter rang softly inside the Silent Screen.

” Please do so.”
