Chapter 42

Chapter 10. We’ve come too far (1)

The first place was Sia.

Helped those who were being chased.

Afterwards, they arrested the man who attacked Kalyan while trying to catch Sia. Then the name of the Blue Warbler came out of the man’s mouth. And the blue warbler came up with another name.

Hale Latran.

Calian, thinking of the man who had become the culmination of everything that had happened so far, ran through the rain.

As I was exposed to the cold rain, my thoughts cleared up little by little. As a result, it was not difficult to deduce the reason for buying and collecting new items. Calian glanced at the ring that was still flowing with magic and spoke.

– This is Randel. By bringing a sacred object to Tensil and offering it, I maintained my bond with Randel. Since he was on Plantz’s side, naturally, the purchase and collection of new items had to be carried out in secret. That’s why I paid such a high price to purchase a new item through Secretia’s Sejak.

I could feel Alan laughing at Calian’s words.

– While maintaining the bond with Randel, he put his feet up on the Planz side and sent me a gift afterwards. Even Kairis information was being sold to Secretia Sejak.

– That’s a really great writer.

– First of all, I think we should quickly return to the castle.

Anyone who stands on Randel’s side may be an enemy to Calian. Because of this, I felt anxious.

– I keep thinking that he might not have been drunk when I put him to sleep at dinner.

Wasn’t this a person who had a lot to hide?

If he had pretended to be drunk to show how Calian treated him, or for some other purpose.

– Did you leave a healthy person to sleep?

– That’s what you would have done if you weren’t drunk.

Calian steadied the horse that was already running.

– I don’t know why the horse is so slow. If it had been Raven, it would have already arrived!

– Run slowly. Then I break my neck.

Calian pretended to listen to Alan’s carefree and concerned words, but only continued to speed up his speech.

Meanwhile, Alan arrived at his mansion and entered the house past the singing statue. And then I started making a cup of coffee in the kitchen.

As I was leisurely savoring the scent of black coffee dripping drop by drop, Kalian’s words came back to me.

– But what is the name of the priest here?

– Malcolm Chetish. Lemain said it would be the head deacon.

Calian frowned as he roughly wiped away the rainwater dripping down his hair.

If you’re the head deacon, isn’t he the same person who didn’t know what to do next to you when you asked about the priest?

– I thought Count Latran was so restless because he was rude. That’s not it, I think it was because Count Latran was lying.

Alan, who had nothing else to say about that, asked another question.

– Have you done a good job of cracking down on the entry of the so-called Solsae?

Calian responded with a nod that Alan could not see.

– yes. It would never be good if it became known among the Sejak that you came all the way to Latran and met Prince Kairis secretly, so you will keep your mouth shut.

Kalian, who had spoken up to that point, slowed down the speed of the running horse. This is because Yeongju Castle began to appear.

Hot steam rose from the body of the horse that ran through the rain.

I was anxious as I waited for the knights to take the horses. Therefore, Kalian handed over the reins of the horse to Kyrie and Yuran who followed him. And I returned to the room, being extra careful to make sure no one was watching me.

“The prince said he was taking a walk right now. Isn’t that too persistent?”

After returning to the room and using Clean Magic to remove the rain and dirt on the face and the mud stains on the window frame and exterior walls, I heard someone getting angry outside the room.

It was Yan’s voice that became sharper as it was.

“The Count said that he would like to apologize for his disrespectful behavior at dinner and would like to see the Prince before the night is over. So, at least when will he arrive...”

And these words followed. It was Malcolm, the butler.

‘That person was a priest.’

Calian went out for a walk and Malcolm was clinging to Jan, who was looking around. Perhaps Hale Latran sent Malcolm at this time, saying he wanted to apologize to Calian.

“Isn’t this an attitude of trying to cover up disrespect? Since when did the count’s butler start interrogating the prince’s steps?”

Jan’s voice as he reprimanded the butler had become very cold.

Calian, who had to send the butler away first, quickly took off his robe and hid it behind the door. He also undid one button of his shirt and disheveled his hair.

– Master, if you do that, you might really be banished to Rivern.

This time Alan laughed.

Calian shook his head as if he could not stop him and said.

– It won’t take long, so please see your majesty first and then go somewhere.

– All right. What should I do?

– Please send someone to Count Latran’s house.

It was referring to Hale’s house in Kairisis.

Since there was no one else in this castle other than Hale, the rest of the family must have been staying in Kairisis. This meant sending someone to the house to check if there was any evidence.

– And please go to the top of Brisen.

Alan said that with great amusement.

– Since Count Latran owns a copper mine, would it be okay to go to the top of Brisen and pretend to ask about the price of copper and then come back?

The idea was that if there was a hint that Alan was investigating something in the capital, there would be movement on Hale’s side as well, so let’s aim for that.

Calian answered Alan, who understood the meaning of the words well.

– yes. you’re right. Please do so. And with what I’m telling you now, you can send me a Jeon Seo-gu. To Ratran Castle.

– yes. Please tell me.

Soon Calian told Alan the contents of the letter. Alan laughed very loudly when he heard a name in the letter.

That night was truly long.

The time is close to midnight.

After finishing his conversation with Alan, Calian postponed his bath for a while and once again looked for the man held in prison. And then I finally learned the man’s name.

“Norton. It’s Norton Ramirez.”

Norton, who said that, looked much more relaxed than in the afternoon, even though one arm was missing. He seemed to have accepted well that he could not save his arm, which had rapidly developed necrosis.

Calian didn’t know whether it was because he had been working as a guard in a mine where there were seriously injured people every other day, or because he was a death row inmate.

Anyway, Norton was looking at Calian again, as if asking what was going on. Didn’t I tell you everything I already knew?

Then, as if an uneasy thought occurred to Calian’s expressionless face, he hurriedly opened his mouth.

“Perhaps something happened to my wife... Cow?”

Norton had been talking half-heartedly just a little while ago, but this time he asked this question out of anxiety about his wife.

Calian shook his head.

Those who would have made such an unfounded threat to Norton have already lost their heads. Because he lost. The Blue Warbler probably didn’t care about Norton’s wife in the first place. He might not even know where her house was. Norton’s wife had nothing to do with the Blue Warbler. “That side

. You don’t have to worry.”

“Then what happened...”

Calian said, looking at Norton.

“If you keep like this, you’ll be executed in a few days.”

Calian damaged his shoulder the first time he saw him, and took his arm the second time. The third time he came, he was saying things like you were going to die soon.

Norton’s expression couldn’t have been good.

Before Norton could say anything, he was angry, but Calian interrupted.

“Help me.”

Norton’s face. Calian frowned.

Calian continued with his still expressionless face.

“If you do that, I will help you get treatment.”

It was similar to what Calian had said in the afternoon.

However, what Calian said this time meant that it would heal your arm. That wasn’t it. He was saying that he was going to remove the label of a death row inmate who didn’t need treatment.

Norton didn’t immediately understand and looked at his arm. Calian didn’t get frustrated and said again,

“I brought that arm in return for pulling the knife on me. So they are saying they will release it. “I can make arrangements for you to live in another territory and provide you with a suitable house and land for farming.” “

What on earth is going on that requires such generous conditions?”

“Because it can be dangerous,”

Norton answered, laughing.

“Please tell me what to do.”
