Chapter 22. Don’t touch me (2)
– The warrior of the great desert and Tensil met.
With just that one word, Plantz’s eyes changed, and the smile on Chase’s face grew even deeper. And then he opened his mouth without breaking that smile.
“Because my younger brother has become very dull”
“Ha.”
When Chase said that, a short laugh escaped Plants’ mouth. It was a sound that was somewhere between a laugh and a sneer.
It has become very dull.
Anyone who hears this may be mistaken for thinking that Calian is just a pretty prince.
Everyone who spars with Kalian gets their throats cut.
This is the guy who broke Gray’s back to prevent him from entering Kairisis. By the time he decided to do something to ease the suspicions of Marquis Evan Briesen, a man close to fifty had died. The younger brother, who was informed of the situation by Kirie, who returned from the incident, did not seem surprised and simply answered that he understood.
There is a reason why Raven only follows Calian.
This means that there is a good reason why Arsene, that crazy person who attacked Alan, only targets Calian.
“I can’t believe I’ve become dull.”
“It’s really dulled me a lot.”
I’m not saying this because I don’t know what Calian is like now. Chase would have known much more about Calian’s whereabouts than Plantz.
That’s why I laughed.
It was a laugh that meant, “What was it like in the past?”
“I thought that might be why. I guess not.”
Chase, who had no interest in Plantz’s complicated mind, said something meaningful like this. It was a horse where you couldn’t find heads and tails like Plantz usually does.
“It was surprising that there were still three princes living in this Chermil palace.”
“I guess you thought your younger brother would kill his brothers and get rid of them.”
And Plantz understood very well the meaning of those words and even the thorns in them.
“I guess it’s quite surprising that my brother saved me.”
“Yes. That’s what I thought.”
“I thought you saved my life because my brother was feeling weak, but are you saying there was another reason?”
“That’s right. Prince Planz is quick-witted. I guess it’s thanks to him.”
Plantz, who understood that Calian was smart enough to hold back his anger and let him live, leaned back on the sofa and let out a drowsy voice.
“Should I take this as a compliment?”
“It’s a compliment.”
It’s up to Plantz to figure out how much of a compliment it is.
“Anyway, I think I just need to tell you that. Tensil and the Great Desert have joined hands.”
“I’m curious.”
Chase, who had nothing more to say to each other, stood up quietly, and Plantz, seeing that, opened his mouth.
“Why is my brother’s old brother still? My brother is moving.”
“Shouldn’t you stay still?”
Calian created Balkan at the cost of his own life.
After that, he was preparing something very diligently by gathering wizards and knights and training himself in swordsmanship and magic.
“It seems like what my brother is preparing isn’t just to become crown prince. Unlike my brother, I don’t know why he’s not doing anything.”
It was clear that Calian was preparing for something.
Therefore, it was clear that he was trying to increase his power without damaging Kairis as much as possible.
If you just wanted a seat, there’s no need to sit so quietly and fight for attention. Could there be anything easier for Calian than breaking the necks of Planz and Randel?
So I’m curious. If Chase knew something like Calian, he should have at least created a group similar to Balkan. However, Secretia’s actions were very ordinary. I just realized how many Sejak there were, but other than that, there was nothing special about it.
“Well, how should I explain it?”
Chase opened his mouth like that.
Deep purple eyes. However, his eyes were full of insight rather than strangling people like Randel’s.
“That’s not something I should touch.”
Chase won’t change anything.
“I intend to make the same decisions and build the same country as before, so that my brother will be the only one who holds that power.”
Plantz just nodded without answering.
Euria was truly a wizard.
He showed great curiosity about the stone that Calian showed him.
“Are you saying you have the power to correct time?”
“It’s not accurate. It’s just my guess.”
Because I corrected the order of Sia’s answers and made the time tied to the unfading rose go by.
It had no effect on Calian, who came back in time, but considering Sia and the rose, it seemed true that it had something to do with ‘time’.
Calian had only shared the details with Alan.
This is because Serenti intervened. It was completely different from the battle for position in the royal palace, and in some ways it could be seen as Calian’s personal problem, so he did not want to borrow the power of the wizards and Euria for that matter.
“Time. It has interesting powers. I don’t know what this letter is.”
Of course, the thought that Euria didn’t know anything also played a role. As Kalian expected, Euria shook her head when she saw the text engraved on the stone.
“I heard that there is a forgotten character in Secretia. Could that be it?”
“No. I already looked into that.”
Isn’t this a language that Calian himself knows well? Calian shook his head, recalling what had been handed down as nothing special.
Soon Euria brought all kinds of theological books from the study. Calian lifted up one of the books and said in a laughing voice.
“It’s surprising. There’s a chronicle of the War of the Two Gods in the wizard’s study. I thought wizards didn’t believe in Serenti.”
“Isn’t there a difference between not believing and denying it? We wizards are different from Tensil’s priests. We do not deny Serenti’s survival. Above all, Cispanian was there. So, all wizards have a lot to say about Serenti. “I will learn in detail, prince.”
Old Calian’s memories did not contain detailed knowledge about the God of War or the main god Serenti. That was all I learned from the prince’s classes. This was because he learned magic on his own.
Euria asked, taking paper and pen and copying the letters and shapes engraved on Calian’s stone.
“Are you sure it was during the Rosellita period and the Sting and Nerika estates? An elf boy named Luca had it.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“I understand. It’s up to me from here on out, prince. So, just go back to the palace. I’ll let you know if anything is confirmed.”
Calian laughed slightly. Euria looked at me with eyes asking why I was doing that.
“Because it’s fun. I feel like I have nothing to do these days. Everyone told me to just go.”
“It’s no different from the prince moving it himself.”
Euria smiled and answered,
“Because the prince is not the one who moves, but the one who commands.” ”
I guess that’s why. I don’t know.”
Calian nodded, unable to help Euria any more. He added one caveat:
“When I first got that stone, the smell of blood was very strong. It’s something that someone lost their life to, so it would be better to be careful.”
“Yes. All right. Don’t worry.”
Euria also knew what the smell of blood the knights meant. Therefore, Euria nodded as if she understood. * * * In the morning, I met Slayman and came to the Wizard’s
Association
.
Euria On the way back from meeting Melfir, I met Sia and returned to the association. Then I talked to Euria for quite a long time. After that,
night had already fallen.
“Ah.”
Kali realized that time had passed only after coming out. Ahn let out an embarrassed sound.
“Yan will be worried.”
Since he was planning on leaving soon, he didn’t tell them his destination and left alone without Kirie. He was obviously anxious or was sending people everywhere to ask questions. Kalian’s face looked embarrassed
. As the light emerged, Raven, who had been walking leisurely, started to walk faster on her own. Calian, who felt it, stroked Raven’s mane as if it were breaking it up. As Raven walked towards the royal capital on her own, Calian kept his hood down and pulled down his hood. Some time passed. It was time.
“Wait a minute, Raven.”
This time, Calian stopped Raven.
Then he raised his head and made an amused face. Because he felt that Raven had hidden it well enough that she didn’t stop.
Kairisis was wide.
There was no secluded place anywhere. There was.
In such a secluded place, several figures were slowly approaching the prince’s black horse, which Sia recognized. It was the festival of Kairisis, so it seemed like there were a lot of guests. So Sia during the day and at night. “Here
. How did you come all this way?”
A light flashed in his red eyes as if he had seen something very welcome.
“...Warriors of the Great Desert.”
Calian’s smile darkened as he felt their unique fighting spirit aimed precisely at him. .
