Chapter 175

Chapter 30. My person (2)

was quiet.

After a fight there was always a constant calm. It was so quiet that I wondered if it was the same place where lightning had struck and water columns had been rising just moments before.

In the midst of such silence, Alan’s eyes, looking around, landed on Euria. This was after hearing an explanation of what had happened so far.

Euria, who was standing quietly, lowered her head slightly as the gaze continued without saying a word. I thought I knew what Alan was trying to say.

Alan looked at the ends of his purple hair, which were shaking meaninglessly in the blowing wind, and then let out a calming voice.

“It’s a deception.”

Alan warned him of the danger and told him to keep his hands off.

Euria disobeyed those words.

Even if Zeon’s subordinates were in fact following in the footsteps of the Sejaks, not Euria, and even if Euria started this purely for Calian, it is only a reference to understand the current situation.

It did not justify Euria’s mistakes or allow her to put back the blood she spilled.

“It’s arrogance, it’s negligence, it’s conceit.”

Alan’s eyes were narrowed as he said this. Alan was just as angry as Calian. However, the reason for being angry was slightly different.

If Calian was angry about Arsene’s injury right now, Allen was now reprimanding Euria’s short judgment.

“When you make a mistake, it is not you who dies. You must know that. If you forget it for a moment, it is your subordinates who trust you and put their necks on the line who die.”

Euria’s eyes trembled greatly when she heard this. The look in his eyes was asking what happened to Arsene.

Since he didn’t intend to cause trouble by misunderstanding that part, Alan shook his head and said,

“It looks like there was no major problem. Just because we arrived at the right time and saved him, don’t count yourself lucky. If we had been even a little late, he would have died. Because of you.”

Euria lowered her head without making any excuses. Because what Alan said was not wrong.

Alan, who was looking at Euria, turned his head and looked in the direction where Calian was. I felt the energy of Arsene, who was on top of Raven, moving away towards the moving magic circle. So now, where Calian was, there were two of them alive.

“It’s not that I don’t know that I did it with the prince in mind.”

The two didn’t look like they were fighting. Calian, facing an enemy, would not be able to talk peacefully.

Alan spoke quietly, feeling more concerned and pitiful about what Calian was doing rather than what he was doing.

“Please don’t do that in the future.”

Not long after that, one side lost energy.

There was now only one person alive in that vast place.

I was devastated.

It was a day when I no longer had to cower in the night air. But to Planz, it just felt bleak.

The light of the magic lantern left in the darkness, the sound of the carriage moving forward relying on that light, and the speed of my heart that was deliberately listening to it were all faint.

– Multi-faceted, multi-faceted.

The Balkan wizards did not remain in the royal palace. And I didn’t trust Kirie in her current state as much as the smiling Calian. Aside from them, only Hina, Yan, and Plants were able to enter the area where Kalian’s moving magic circle was located.

But I guess we can’t ask Jan to take Hina to the moving magic circle. I can’t send Hina alone.

As a result of these reasons, Planz became the second prince to go out without permission that night.

Actually, I should have gotten Lemain’s permission when I met him, but I forgot because of Lavender’s innocent words and the words spoken without malice. It was truly unbecoming of Plants, but the desire to get out of that situation was so great that he had no choice.

Should we say that it was fortunate that the people standing guard at the main gate were members of the Karen Order of Knights that Plantz had acquired, so they listened to Plantz’s words obediently.

With that thought in mind, I turned my head forward to see the eerie scenery passing by outside the window of the carriage, and Hina, who was sitting across from me, raised her hand.

– Are you worried? I don’t like the expression.

Even though Plantz wasn’t particularly frowning, Hina asked this question. Plantz, who was looking at Hina like that, answered quietly.

“No. I’m depressed.”

What’s wrong, I can’t do it, I can’t do it, etc.

Plantz, who was likely to have given a sufficient answer and let it go, gave a slightly longer answer. It might have been repayment for the strawberries, consideration for Hina, or some other meaningless change, but Hina, who thought anything was good, smiled. Then, he took off the white robe he was wearing and handed it to Plantz.

There was a purple flower that I didn’t like.

I learned a white flower that I didn’t like.

I felt like if I added and subtracted it, it would feel like nothing happened, so I leaned back, thinking that it could happen one day.

Instead of Lucy, the robe covering her knees was as warm as Lucy’s, so she leaned back.

It was quiet.

Meanwhile, Calian, who was standing alone, said nothing. He just stood there quietly, with his eyes focused on the floor, as if he had been nailed down.

–

The sound of someone stepping on the ground was heard from some distance away.

Kalian still stood motionless. I didn’t look towards the place where the sound came from, nor was I conscious or alert.

Because I knew whose voice it was, I knew that I would never have to be wary of that voice until I died, so I just stood still.

–

The sound of unhurried footsteps approached Calian. And then it quietly stopped next to Calian.

It was Allen who came here with Calian, who seemed to be in a hurry, without asking anything, and left this place as it was and went to help Euria, following Calian’s wishes.

After confirming that there were no enemies left around, Alan sent Eurya back into the cave where Secretia’s secretaries were said to be. After that, I returned to Calian and asked.

“Are you hurt anywhere?”

A soft voice rang in Calian’s ears.

Even though he knew that Kalian had grown up and that the people here would not be a match for Kalian, he asked this.

Calian, who knew that the question was not a greeting, answered as if not to worry.

“You’re not hurt.”

There was no body around Kalian. It was unclear whether the body had already been disposed of or whether the body had been left somewhere else, but it was not important to Alan.

“Fortunately, the.”

Calian nodded at the warm words.

Then he looked around for a moment and spoke in a monotone voice.

“It seems that the purpose of those who came here today and the group of about 40 people who first attacked Siren were different. They say they don’t know anything about those who first attacked. Even looking at the difference in force, that group was targeting Siren, and those who came this time were aimed at Siren. “I don’t think it’s a lie since I said I followed in the footsteps of the three men.”

As these words say, those who visited the forest today were warriors of the Great Desert among members of Zeon, and those who first attacked Euria were members of Zeon, but they were made up of ordinary people, not wolves of the Great Desert.

Soon Calian took out what was in his pocket and held it out in front of Alan. Alan recognized what it was and asked with a sad face.

“Did you have the same thing?”

They were two pebbles and were not the ones Calian was carrying. The reason it was recognizable at a glance was because the colors were clearly different.

The two pebbles, one dark gray and one slightly lighter gray, were exactly the same in shape as the one Calian was carrying, except for their color.

“One was destroyed. Because the heart was broken.”

Although he said it as if it was regrettable and not a big deal, the meaning behind those words was not that light. Because the other two were said to be inside a intact heart.

“They say that once you run out of life, you can’t use it twice, so I don’t think there’s any need to touch other bodies.”

Alan let out a short sigh.

Calian continued speaking as if he hadn’t heard that sound.

“I don’t know anything other than that...”

After hearing that, Alan walked in front of Calian. And I held Kalian, who had not yet fully grown up and was still smaller than Alan, in my arms.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Then he patted Kalian on the back and said this.

Because it sounded exactly like the soothing sound of a fifteen-year-old child, Calian, who was buried in Allen’s arms, laughed softly.

“...Yes, Master.”

The hand patting my back was so warm.
