Chapter 115

Chapter 22. Don’t touch it (5)

– Saaaa.......

The sound of leaves rustling in the wind stayed quietly and passed by.

When you go around Chermil Palace and enter the back garden behind the building, there is a small walking path planted with a few birch trees and a few other trees whose names I don’t know. It wasn’t there originally, but since Kalian and Plants used the training center often, the large lawn on the left side of the road leading to the training center was decorated as a walking path.

Plants visited that place often, and Kalian preferred the walks by the lake, so they rarely walked among the trees in the garden. Randel always went to the rose garden, so naturally he did not seek patronage.

Therefore, in the dark of night when Calian and Planz were not in the palace, no prince came in to walk there.

“Whoa...”

Instead, there was a baby elephant sighing deeply with a serious expression that did not suit him.

“If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have let go of the sword.”

Are you hurt a lot?

Have you woken up by now?

What if you still can’t wake up?

Just in case, forever... No.

These thoughts kept lingering in his head, and in the end, Yan couldn’t sleep and ended up going outside and practicing his magic.

– Ja-bak, jap-a-bak.

As I sat like that for a while, I heard the sound of people stepping on gravel. Yan turned his head in surprise and opened his mouth with an expression of surprise.

“Kiri.”

Kirie was drenched in sweat as if she had been training her sword all this time. On the way back, I think I saw Yan sitting on a bench in the middle of the walking path and enjoying the meditation.

“Why are you here?”

It was time for Kalian to go to sleep, so it was very rare for Jan to come out at this time. Therefore, seeing Kirie ask this question, Yan thought for a moment.

Should I tell you that Kalyan is not here right now?

Then I realized that it was not just Kalian who had left the palace. Hina also left the place.

“I have something to say to you in a moment.”

“yes.”

Soon, Jan had Kirie sit down next to him and told him what had happened while Kirie was away. Kirie, who heard the whole story, nodded and said.

“All right.”

like this.

I’m not surprised, I’m not worried, I understand.

“Aren’t you worried?”

“What are you worried about?”

“Because the prince was injured and Hina went there.”

“Hina has gone and there has been no news yet. There has been no news that she is okay, but there has also been no news that she is not okay. That would mean that Hina is receiving treatment, so I don’t think there is any need to worry.”

That is correct.

But even so, isn’t that too carefree?

“It’s unlikely, but if something bad happens to the prince... they and I won’t be alive, so that’s okay too.”

Kyrie finished speaking with a face whose blue eyes stood out especially in the dark.

“Are you saying you’re going to chase them down, kill them all, and then die with them?”

“yes.”

As for the people who harmed Calian, Kyrie speaks like that even though they would be difficult to deal with. I had no solution, but when I looked at Kirie with eyes that said you were kind of cool, Kirie smiled slightly and asked.

“Are you doing this because you hate being powerless?”

Those words hit the nail on the head.

Everyone had a job to do. Wasn’t that little Hina also indispensable to Kalian?

“All I know how to do is worry. It’s pathetic.”

“The prince is not the kind of person who would embrace a useless person. You need someone who cares for you, so wouldn’t you keep them by your side?”

“you’re right.”

“I’ll bring it.”

As soon as Jan finished speaking, Lemain said this.

“We can’t just leave the injured prince in a mansion that isn’t Siegfried’s domain.”

That’s why Alan opened his mouth again.

After the traces of the fight disappeared, Plants visited and Chase, who learned that the gate was closed, guessed what the two princes had planned and told it to Alan.

“Your Majesty’s sword should be pointed not at Siegfried. Siegfried will face Briesen in a few days, so you must keep an eye on him.”

Alan, who relayed all the information, said this.

“Duke Siegfried will be with you, so you don’t have to worry about the prince’s safety. First, keep an eye on the situation, and once a direction is decided, send Balkan there.”

After those words, Lemain fell into deep thought for nearly an hour. And following Alan’s words, I decided to wait and see how the situation unfolded for now.

Allen barely succeeded in calming Lemain down, but a few hours later he had to make another effort to pull Lemain down from his seat.

‘My baby won’t open my door. Does anyone know what’s going on?’

This is because I saw Slayman who came to the palace saying things like that.

* * *

– Tick tock, tick tock.

I was listening to that sound all night long.

Kalian’s wounds have healed considerably.

This was because Plantz judged that problems would arise for Hina if the condition was not completely healed, so he sent Hina away to sleep.

“I sent a letter to the Marquis of Briesen.”

Demirea came to see Planz, who was sitting in a chair motionless even after staying up all night, and said this. I didn’t bother to say that Slayman came to visit me in the middle, but I didn’t let him in.

The reason why Slayman was not brought in was because the royal palace regarded this as ‘treason’ and the responsibility could not be placed on Slayman. So, Demirea only said through the gate that it was no big deal and that he should stay out for a few more days.

“okay.”

Evan’s angry face was clearly visible after receiving the letter full of unreasonable claims. Whether you come alone or with knights in tow, it won’t be long before a confrontation between the two families begins.

Unbeknownst to Demirea, Plantz was not too worried about royal intervention. I believed that Hina would notice that Calian was here and that if so, someone would stop Lemaine. Either Allen or Chase.

– Tick tock tick tock.

Time flows again.

‘who.’

I thought about it all night.

Warrior of the Great Desert. And Tensil. They and Randel. Calian’s wounds appear to have been inflicted by an Auror user. Recalling everything I knew, I thought and reconsidered who might be behind the attackers.

‘wherefore.’

Plantz’s sharp light green eyes turned to Calian.

There was no more bleeding, but Kalian was still asleep.

Raven’s fur was all soaked in blood.

“...... How dare you?”

A low voice came out of Plantz’s mouth.

– Tick tock, tick tock.

Time passed.

I didn’t pay attention to how long it had passed. I just sat there.

“Are you here?”

And then,

“Brother.”

He finally woke up.

One corner of Planz’s mouth curled up.

Ha,

he really seems like a brother I love and hate.
