Chapter 32. My sword (5)
is sharp.
If Calian’s sharpness was like a hidden dagger, Bern’s sharpness was like a huge sword that had even thrown away its scabbard so that he could wield it at any time.
And Chase’s sharpness was like a hawk’s gaze piercing the heart of a field mouse. It was not the sharpness to cut and wound, but the sharpness to properly point out and make an accurate judgment, no matter who the opponent was or what the target was.
In other words, it is insight.
‘I don’t know if you already know, but there are days when I can smell the strong scent of blood from the prince.’
I already knew that there are people who suddenly disappear without a word one day. I knew why it disappeared, and I also knew who was behind it.
Devlan.
Chase also knew very well how Devlan reigned over the nobles. but.
I didn’t know who the sword Devlan was wielding was. I couldn’t even imagine it.
No way, the father wants his children.
‘I’m telling you because I can’t wait any longer.’
It took too long to hear those words.
How many years have you been watching and only now are you saying such a thing? I wonder if you can still say that you are that child’s teacher. With those words, I did not blame Teilan.
I understand that you may not have believed it.
Chase was also the offspring of Devlan’s son, the Serpent.
Isn’t this the older brother who ascended to the crown by receiving an oath of loyalty from my younger brother? So, I found out that I couldn’t open my mouth to Chase, who may be different on the outside and the inside. I found out that Teilan had been watching the entire time, fearing that his own intervention would become a bigger wave and sweep away Bern.
That’s why Chase didn’t blame Tailan.
Chase blamed himself and regretted that he had committed a sin so great that he could not blame anyone else.
Even after this.
Can you call me your older brother?
‘Everyone makes mistakes. Crown Prince, I don’t think you’re such a perfect person. I don’t know what you did wrong, but why regret it when you should fix it right away? ‘Do you have a lot of time?’
Arianne’s words were always sharp, and she came to her senses immediately after being cut by the blade attached to the horse. I looked into it and gained more accurate insight.
I moved as I decided.
– The Shaman of Rattlesnake Den is on his way to Nevillead’s large nest.
At that time, Devlan was suffering from illness.
It was an illness that I did not know when it started, and it was getting worse day by day.
He was born as the son of a concubine and ascended to the throne with great difficulty. He had to overcome his mother’s other relatives with his own hands. Devlan, who did not want to lose his precious throne, eventually ignored the royal law and called in Tensil’s healer.
And the bird raised by Devlan steadily gathered information that the healer was heading to Secretia and reported it to Chase.
‘Lord Castrin.’
‘Your Majesty.’
‘I hope no traitor’s blood ever steps on my land.’
Chase decided to follow the law, not Devlan. It was Chase’s choice and decision to protect his younger brother from his father.
It might have been a disease that could have been cured if I had met a healer. Otherwise, I might have faced the end a little quicker and with less pain.
‘Healer. I cleaned everything up.’
But because nothing in the world can be perfect.
Because perfect whiteness cannot exist.
‘father.’
Chase is a nice guy.
Chase was also the offspring of Devlan’s son, the snake.

– I was thinking a little more about the axis of time.
The answer to those words did not come back right away. That’s why Chase spoke again.
– I sent a letter to Mae’s side, but I thought I would have to wait, so I contacted them in advance. Please check the letter for more detailed information.
I remembered the letters written on the axis of time. However, just like Verne, Chase couldn’t read it either. So, even if I remembered it, it was not something that could be explained in words. Still, I didn’t bother sending the conversation.
Or because I said I would contact you when there was no reason. So just.
– ... I’m worried that you may be overdoing it.
Instead of saying thank you and sorry, Kalian got worried. I did not hide that I was worried.
Calian’s voice seemed to be heard right next to me.
I was worried that they contacted me faster than I expected. He said he clearly doesn’t remember much, but I wonder if it’s too much to remember. I wonder if it brought back unpleasant memories.
Chase tried to tell her not to worry, but responded by nodding obediently.
– Actually, a slightly different memory came to mind. It wasn’t a pleasant experience, so I was a little surprised, but I wasn’t more shaken than that.
After saying this, Chase picked up his teacup and took a sip, recalling an unexpected memory for a moment before opening his mouth.
– Knowing that even if I faced the same thing now, I would still have made the same choice.
Now that Chase knew that he wasn’t as terrible of a person as he thought, the cold feeling that came to mind at the thought of that name lessened a little.
– ...... name.
Kalyan said this.
And it didn’t last for a while.
It wasn’t until Chase took three drinks from his teacup and put it down that he continued his next words.
– You can call me whatever you want.
What I’m saying is that you shouldn’t even endure this conversation that no one can even hear together. They said that since it was Calian’s responsibility to put down the name, there was no need for Chase to share in the responsibility.
Chase grinned.
I really like the smell of mint when I drink coffee after a long time.
– When drinking alcohol. I will do that. later.
Calian’s laughter was heard.
A soft voice continued.
– At the beach.
– yes. At the beach.
* * *
Laughing and laughing, then laughing and laughing.
I think my younger brother is really strange.
No. That’s right, it’s strange.
anyway.
It doesn’t matter if it’s weird, weird, crazy, funny or not.
This was my room.
Their conversation, which started as soon as I could put away the dishes and didn’t end, was when I was wondering when I should kick out my strange younger brother, who seemed to be older than me even though he was my younger brother.
–
There was a loud knock.
I told him to come in on behalf of my younger brother, who was busy with construction, and when I turned around, I saw Reric had come alone. Since the car arrived a little later than usual and Jan was not there, I thought that perhaps something else had happened between the servants. Plantz, who had been sitting there without thinking about it, frowned slightly.
Coffee scent.
–
A chocolate-covered dessert was placed on half of a thinly sliced dried tangerine. And Reric put down a drink that went very well with the sweet and sour drink.
okay.
It was coffee with a chocolate-like color.
The conversation had already come to an end, and after briefly looking at the ring that was no longer shining, Calian’s eyes fell on the coffee.
“not.”
And Plantz said:
This means bringing something other than coffee.
As a result of his hard work, Reric now understood that much immediately and came over to take back the coffee he had put down.
Calian, who saw this, slightly raised his hand and said.
“No, I’ll drink it. Thank you.”
Thanks to this, Reric said hello without having to worry twice and went out.
The prince who lives on the third floor had a look in his eyes that could be interpreted as saying he was grateful. Without knowing how much he would be scolded by Jan when he found out that he brought coffee to Kalian.
When I heard Reric leave and close the door, Calian looked at Plantz with a very surprised expression on his face. Although he had never drank coffee in front of Plants, since he had never drank it, he had never shown that he disliked it.
Calian quietly raised his hand, took a sip of coffee, and put it down.
“If my brother knows that much, he won’t starve no matter where he goes.”
“Stop barking and get out.”
Kalian took a bite of dried tangerine chocolate and tapped the remaining coffee. He meant to wait because he would drink it all and leave on his own.
“busy.”
Then he patted the cardigan that Plants was wearing and said this. I’m telling you to change and go out and get out of my room because there’s a lot to do.
Pure white cardigan.
Long cardigan.
Seeing that, Calian remembered something he had forgotten. I should not have forgotten it, but I was in a bad mood and the situation, so I remembered it clearly.
“older brother.”
Calian called out to Boiled Peas, who had an annoyed look on his face.
Come to think of it, why were you holding our Hina robe last time? When I think about it, I already endured it once, but a little while ago, I even mentioned that beautiful name that I was afraid would wear out.
“Would you like to spar?”
He smiled brightly, completely forgetting that Planz had said he was busy. It was a smile full of relief from someone who realized he had almost endured it twice.
Afterwards, I drank the fragrant coffee again.
