Chapter 25. Where to be (3)
How many times a day do you say this?
“crazy.”
I should have expected something like this to happen when Calian, who was told to go to Wilhelm’s pavilion alone, said he understood without saying a word.
– I’m not angry because the wizards got into an accident after drinking.
– know.
At that time, Plantz clearly said, ‘I know.’ Calian asked what he knew about him, and Plantz did not answer.
– I will teach you.
From the moment he said those words, he already sensed that Calian’s attitude toward him would change to some extent. It wasn’t like I didn’t know what kind of guy Calian was. Nevertheless, it was overlooked.
If I had known that the teachings would be taught in such a violent way, I would not have looked at that carefree face and said, ‘I have something to think about, so I will not go to Wilhelm today.’
– then. Rest.
After the meal had ended a little while ago and Kalian, who had said this without saying anything else, left, Plants went to the back yard and took a walk. After meeting and talking with Cat and Hina, I got up to go back to Chermil.
But at that time, I felt like I was going to tear someone to death right now. It was Kalian’s.
The crazy younger brother in Wilhelm’s pavilion is unleashing a murderous spirit that can be felt in the Chermil Palace. Plantz got on his horse that way and rode straight to Wilhelm.
It was too late to find out what Calian had in mind when he stood in front of Balkan and who he was angry with.
It is clear that he cares about the Balkans, but he pretends not to care. Even though they say they made a mistake, he pretends to be indifferent. Even though the two deputy commanders are directly responsible, he pretends not to know and pretends not to care.
They are both angry at Plants for showing such behavior.
If you don’t pay attention, I will catch them all.
I will get angry as I please and crush everything in my own way.
As Plantz got off his horse and entered the Wilhelm Pavilion, a voice so low that no one could hear came out between his clenched teeth.
“If you’re going to be angry....”
If you’re going to be angry, just take it out on me.
Don’t be irresponsible, just say it.
Don’t pour it all out there!

Alan, who was sitting in his office savoring the scent of coffee, suddenly stopped his arms.
“... Is our prince angrier than I thought?”
Unlike the words he spoke leisurely, he was on the sharp side, so his eyes always showed a keen light as he tried to keep his strength at bay. It was because I lived.
Arpia Palace and Wilhelm Pavilion were not that far away. That’s why you can clearly feel this intense life.
But it’s a little strange.
Kalian is definitely a person who knows how to control his life. In the meantime, Kalian has rarely let out such reckless killings.
Alan, who was tilting his head, unconsciously massaged his tense neck and muttered.
“I thought it would end with me getting angry and scolding, but I wonder if it was too much.”
If necessary, punishment may be imposed. Since I had ample authority to do so, I tried not to interfere with anything else. So it was not necessarily the Wilhelm residence, but Alan who was working at the Arpia Palace.
But now this has gone beyond the scope of scolding and punishment. Those who encountered this energy right in front of Calian would feel a genuine threat to their lives.
After thinking about that, Alan’s shoulders stiffened.
This is because the pale face of Chase, who had visited Alan’s office not long ago, came to mind.
That was the day Chase ran into Arsene.
‘no way?’
no way.
Is Kalyan unable to control his anger right now?
Even Chase couldn’t control his emotions. Besides, today is the day Chase left Kairisis. We faced the Balkans in such a situation.
“Prince.”
Therefore, Arsene called Calian once again.
Calian did not answer. I didn’t even put that deadly force into it. He was looking at the wizards with an expressionless face that had not changed at all.
In the end, Arsene could not wait any longer and took a step forward to the thirteen wizards. Only then did Calian’s head turn towards Arsene. When Arsene realized that what was in those eyes was a small reprimand, he thought ‘oops’.
“Calian.”
A calm voice called out to Calian.
The only three people in the palace who can call Kalyan by his first name.
One of them, Second Prince Planz, walked and stood in front of Calian.
It was exactly what stood between the wizards and Calian.
“Stop it.”
Calian turned his gaze to look at Plantz, who stood between him and the wizards. He didn’t hide his fear, and Plantz also had a nervous look on his face. It was Plantz’s first time experiencing this level of chill.
Plantz slightly turned his head and looked at the wizards standing behind him. At least half of them looked like they were about to collapse at any moment. Everyone had a tired face.
After examining them, Planz turned his head again and looked at Calian. A voice came out as if he had given up or had lost.
“Okay.”
For a moment, something that could be called an expression appeared on Calian’s face and then disappeared. It was so complicated that even Plantz had a hard time figuring out its intent.
I can’t tell if it’s joy, anger, sadness, joy, or sadness. Or a face that seems to be a mixture of all of those things. Calian glanced at Plantz with that look on his face and nodded.
A short answer soon followed.
“yes.”
The fierceness that swirled like a knife disappeared like a lie.
With that, Calian opened his mouth to the wizards.
“I will only take Balkan babies with me until I die. I don’t need any babies that aren’t.”
“Yes, my prince.”
The wizards answered immediately.
There were no people who sat down or looked at Calian with resentment because their lifelessness had disappeared.
“If you’re going to get drunk and cause trouble, do it under my name.”
It also meant that unless it was an accident worthy of being struck in the name of Kalyan, you should not hit it. Just like Arsene.
“All right.”
Wizards are different from knights.
Their fidelity is different from loyalty. They are blind and devoted, but they don’t know when or how they will break out. It is absolutely impossible to force them like that.
As Calian well knows, they are back.
So, you can never change their perception just by running a few laps on the training ground like Kyrie did. I need to show you in detail how much power I have, what I can do right now, and how much I can endure in order to be believed.
Aren’t they extremely rational and crazy wizards?
“I will prevent all accidents that occur in my name. That is the power I have.”
Not the black hair and red eyes they like so much. Real power. You have to experience it yourself to believe it.
So the eyes of the wizards who see Calian now are shining brightly. Because they know that Calian was the one who was choking them just a moment ago. Now I was really going to believe it.
I won’t make the same mistake again in the future.
Calian looked at Planz for a moment.
With his eyes focused on Plants, he spoke to the wizards.
“This is true responsibility.”
Instead of trying to shy away from them, step forward and protect them like you just did.
Because that is the responsibility you must have in your position.
......Planz.
