Chapter 130

Chapter 23. If that day comes (9)

Calian came down to his room with a small pop and looked around for a moment.

Unlike Calian’s room, which was all black, Plantz’s room was quite bright. The curtains, carpets, and bedding visible from a distance inside the bedroom were mostly bright colors.

Of course it was because of the cat.

What can you do when a cat whose hair is shedding at an alarming rate will run around the room? Just like wearing bright clothes, your room will also become brighter.

Calian, who was thinking about this, looked at Jan, who had just entered the room, and said.

“From now on, don’t serve mint tea when you’re on the 4th floor.”

I was reminded of the expression on Plantz’s face as he drank down a cup of mint tea even though he didn’t like it.

I said this because it was clear that he would never say that tea was not to his liking, as he had a personality that catered to cats as well.

“Are you going to keep going up every meal?”

“For now.”

Calian answered by lightly nodding his head, and surprisingly, Jan responded without much hesitation.

“Okay, I will. And you told me to call Lord Hertz, but I don’t think he’ll be able to come today.”

“What’s wrong?”

When asked because he was worried that he might have been disadvantaged because of this incident, Jan smiled slightly and answered.

“They say they are helping dispose of the Heishia Palace debris.”

It wasn’t that there was anything else going on, but it was true that Arsene was away and couldn’t come to Calian.

This is why Vulcan was brought in to dispose of the remains of Heysia Palace in accordance with Alan’s opinion as to what use a wizard with valuable abilities should be used for. That was the punishment not given by Lemain but by Allan, the commander of the Balkan corps.

The image of Arsene, who was clearly working while grumbling, came to mind, and I finally burst out laughing. Calian, who laughed for a while, answered.

“I understand. Please send me money for a company dinner later.”

“all right.”

Jan, who answered that way, did not go. Calian looked at Jan because he seemed to have something else to say, and Jan opened his mouth.

“Prince Siegfried is waiting outside.”

No matter who was waiting for him, he had to report on what the prince had told him to do and convey the information he needed to know first, so he only spoke after conveying all the other information. Calian nodded and answered.

“Ask them to come in.”

“Yes, my prince.”

After Jan gave a brief answer and went out, it wasn’t long before Dmirea came in. Calian grinned when he saw Demirea like that.

This is why I like Demirea.

Demirea was wearing a dark navy blue pantsuit. When she came to the palace before attending the ball, she wore a light dress, but it seems she didn’t think it was necessary.

Demirea bowed lightly to Calian and then sat across from Calian. Soon Jan came in, put down two cups of tea without saying a word, and was about to go out. Even though he probably doesn’t know that the conversation is about his younger brother and the family’s affairs, he doesn’t want to get involved or interfere.

“Jan. You sit down too.”

Not only was there no reason for Yan not to listen, but after all, Yan was from the same family.

Jan slightly bowed his head and sat down a little away from Demirea. It was an unspoken sign that he would listen to the conversation between the two but would not intervene.

Kalian saw that and laughed inwardly for a moment. I thought I knew why they drew the line like that.

Because Chase reminded me of Bern, who respected Chase by always taking a step back when they were together.

Calian, who decided to respect Yan, took his gaze away from Yan. Then he looked at Demirea and said hello.

“It’s been a while, fiancée.”

Despite the joking greeting, Jan sat there without much reaction, and Dmirea smiled and nodded. After that, he gave a short speech about the rumor that he was ‘fiancé’.

“I’ll put that rumor to good use for the price of bananas.”

This means that he will pay for the bananas that Kalian ate at the mansion by introducing Kalian as his fiancé. Of course, it was a rumor that Calian accepted out of necessity, but Demirea also benefited from it.

“It’s like selling my name for two bananas.”

“I think it’s a reasonable price since you ate so much.”

Calian asked after laughing for quite some time.

“Yes. Is there any other reaction from the Marquis of Briesen?”

“Yes. There is no special reaction.”

I didn’t even bother to tell you what I did to keep Marquis Evan Briesen quiet. It’s true that it’s quiet now anyway.

“Why did you come looking for me?”

Therefore, Calian opened his mouth towards Demirea, who got to the point.

“I’m going to create a knighthood soon. For that reason, I’m planning to hide Count Eifrin’s knights in Duke Siegfried’s mansion for a while.”

“Anyway, I understand. Please let me know when the date for joining the knights is set.”

“Ah Demirea.”

Calian stopped Dmirea, who was trying to stand up, and showed her the same sign language that Hina showed her not long ago.

“This. What does it mean?”

Although it was a clumsy hand gesture, the words were not difficult to recognize. Because of this, Demirea’s face changed strangely.

‘Memmae’.

“Do you hear such things from the prince’s maid?”

“It’s an insult after all.”

Then he glanced at Jan, who was sitting next to Demirea, and said.

“No one tells me what it means. Not even Jan.”

“What did you do wrong to hear such words?”

Calian responded with a small smile.

“Because there are more than one thing I do wrong.”

Demirea took the last sip of tea and put down the teacup. And answered in a quiet voice.

“You just have to come to your senses and live your life. Don’t listen to the same people.”

Then he got up, said hello, and went out. In the end, they didn’t tell us what Hina said.

“What on earth are you talking about that Demirea won’t even tell you?”

Calian’s doubts only grew.

* * *

After Demirea left.

Kalian just sat in the same spot for half a day. It was partly because the words about staying sober and living were intertwined with what Plantz had said in the morning, and partly because there was nothing else to do.

Weren’t we in a situation where we couldn’t even go to the training center, couldn’t go to the Wilhelm Pavilion where Vulcan was, and at least couldn’t go for a walk?

Anyway, come to your senses and live.

“...... “What do you know?”

I was sitting there muttering, thinking about this and that, when Jan came over and sat across from me and set down the chilled mint tea. This is my second

cup of mint tea today.

Unless I tell you, I will drink the same tea twice. It was Yan who had not brought it out, but Calian picked it up without saying anything and brought it to his mouth.

“You always ask for mint tea when you’re deep in thought.”

Calian smiled slightly and said thank you, and Yan opened his mouth again.

“The prince is on the 4th floor. I told Count Manasil that I thought I would go on and have a meal.”

“Did you tell him that?”

Calian’s eyes widened.

“Yes. I told him that if he was going to move like that anyway, I should just let him move around comfortably. Count Manasil will take care of obtaining permission from His Majesty, so I think you will be able to move freely within Chermil Palace from tomorrow onwards. You don’t have to go to the fourth floor in a dangerous way or feel depressed because you’re bored like this.” ”

Okay.”

I was about to say thank you to Jan for his kind words, but Jan spoke first. ”

So don’t do that.”

Sign language can be seen even from afar.

Exercise Jan, who went outside to take Raven back after finishing her work, saw what Hina was saying.

Hina’s sign language, which was putting down the light blue ice cream next to her, was fast and difficult for Jan to read. Still, he could understand what she was saying

. I thought of my older brother who took all my belongings and burned them just a week before he died.

“Because I survived, there is an empty space. How do I get rid of it? So, while you don’t have time to worry about empty seats, just buy it.”

Jan paused for a moment and looked out the window, then turned his gaze back to Kalian. Soon, his eyes turned to the mint tea and then back to Kalian. The refreshing mint scent

and A completely opposite voice came out.

“Please don’t let something like that happen again.”

I was just preparing for an emergency. I

wasn’t thinking about dying right now.

I wanted to live, too.

“Okay, okay.”

Instead of saying that, Calian just laughed

because he felt like he couldn’t die even if he had a hand holding him like this.
