Chapter 43. Don’t stop (3)
I knew it wasn’t the case.
But they were very similar.
It was so similar that it reminded me of Planz from sometime ago, and a sudden confusion came over me.
Because of that confusion, I ended up experiencing unbelievable confusion. Memories of keeping Evan’s sword open in my mind were mixed up.
In an instant, another fragment of memory emerged from the chaos. In addition to the memories of Plants, the memories of Bern that Calian had came up.
– What did the child disturb his father?
– Is there any need to ask the reason for a sword that has already been swung?
– Even if we already killed it, we need to know the reason.
– Does anything change if you know that now?
– If you don’t answer, I will make the guard standing over there look like that child and ask the question again. What kind of hindrance was that child to his father?
– This is the successor to the place you visited last month.
heir. And a child.
I just barely thought about it.
A moment in my memory engulfed my mind without any pause.
– So I sent you back. Shouldn’t the later troubles be eliminated in advance?
– Just for that reason...
– Just for that reason. What if you leave that child alone and grow up to be as vicious as you?
Because that kid who suddenly appeared and some damn guy who was sleeping in the palace looked similar. And by chance, a memory of another child who was similar to that child came to mind.
It was a short period of time, barely enough to take a single breath, but it definitely caught my attention. Even though I’ve been told that I shouldn’t think too much, I still thought.
therefore.
The momentary gap created by that thought. that.
– Phew!
Evan didn’t miss out.
“...... under.”
This...
seems like a ruined family.
Because this guy and that guy are all green.
Wait... I was confused. I.
“I’m going to be amazed...”
What is a grass field?

I was worried that it would be too late.
I can’t sit still, so what should I do?
If Evan died, the oath on Alan’s heart would be released along with it. So, even without looking at the window, I could tell that the situation was over. Nevertheless, I had no idea that Alan’s eyes would fall outside the window as he stood by the window. My pacing footsteps could not leave in front of the window.
It’s time to come.
‘Calian.’
I couldn’t leave Lemain’s side.
Although he was Calian’s teacher, Alan was the commander of a corps in Balkan.
There was no telling what would happen when the palace defenses were reduced, so no matter how many wizards there were, Alan had to be by Lemain’s side. Rationally, I knew.
“count.”
Lemain, who was sitting on the sofa without saying a word, called Alan.
Alan quietly turned his head and looked at the person who called him out.
“I’m having a hard time waiting any longer, so I’d like you to come.”
LeMaine, who was just sitting on the sofa and had the same heart as Alan, was also looking out the window.
“Nothing will happen.”
Alan, suppressing the desire to run out immediately and thinking for the thousandth time why he had to be here, checked out the window once again and answered quietly.
Lemain, who was quietly looking at Alan, said.
“Go and get him. I will take responsibility for whatever you do.”
I asked for a favor.
The King of Kairis to the Commander-in-Chief of the Balkan Legions.
A man who was just incompetent to the great wizard.
Kalyan’s father to Kalyan’s father.

Ha.
Another sound, I don’t know if it was a laugh or a sigh, escaped.
“There’s nothing you can’t do in front of a child.”
Drip, drip, drip.
Thick drops of blood, as bright as a dark red sword with the tip touching the floor, dotted down.
Calian glanced down at the blade embedded deep in the middle of his abdomen and tightened the hand holding his sword. Evan answered, having suffered quite a bit of pain as a reward for turning a blind eye for just a moment.
With a sharp clanging sound, the dark red sword stopped in the air.
– ...... Kwasik!
Only one was blocked.
“I’m not using it.”
Two swords that changed shape in an instant were held in each hand of Calian. One is blocked and the other is.
“... It’s not that I can’t use it. Me too.”
Calian concluded his words while looking at the second dark red sword that pierced Evan’s heart exactly.
slowly.
Evan slowly raised his head.
I looked at Calian.
Bright red light.
It also reminded me of the red cloak I wore that day.
-Whose son am I?
It reminds me of bright red hair that closely resembles the flowing blood that I saw one day long ago.
“You...”
A cold aura appeared on Calian’s face as he looked at Evan with eyes of similar color.
– Get it!
Since he meant to say what he wanted to say, not to have a conversation, Calian threw away the sword in his hand.
There was no longer any need to look Evan in the eyes and there was no reason to listen to him.
“That’s right. Why did you say you would teach me?”
...... Don’t do that.
– Shake it off.
Evan’s body lost strength and fell to its knees, having no support.
The eyes that were looking at Calian moved slightly. He looked at the swords in Calian’s hands one by one and then said that.
– Coo!
I collapsed onto the cold floor.
I closed my eyes.
Calian, who was watching the scene until the end, let out a long breath. I took a long, long breath.
– Saaaa...
I immediately felt two types of magical power dissipating.
Some that are a little older and some that are a lot older.
Calian, who clearly felt that the seal of oath that Plants and Alan had made with Evan was disappearing, smiled faintly.
“I’m sick of it.”
Calian took a slow step and picked up the black pebble that had fallen near Evan’s body and placed it in his arms.
Then, he took a few more steps, picked up the robe he had taken off a moment ago, and returned to Evan’s side, who had already stopped breathing. I raised my unmovable arm and unfolded the black cloth.
– Flap!
He didn’t bother to cover Evan’s body with his robe.
It was not courtesy to the marquis or to the knight with whom he had been fighting for a long time.
I wanted to move the child who had fallen asleep at the end of the hallway to another place, but I was not in a position to do so. There was no way I could put that child anywhere, so I had no choice but to cover up Evan’s body.
“I don’t think I’m in a position to be considerate.”
still.
I hope that what that child, who knows nothing, wakes up and sees before the people come to clean up this place is at least the corpse of my own flesh and blood.
I don’t know where or how I will live in the future.
I was too young to realize that what I thought was a nightmare was actually reality. Because that’s a bit harsh.
– Drop, drop, patter.
When I straightened my lower back, the dark red blood once again fell to the floor.
“Planz... this head of grass.”
Outside the dark window, he saw a shimmering light gathering. Unable to think about what it was, Kalian just kept moving his feet.
Calian, clutching the wound on his abdomen, stumbled around and eventually stopped and leaned against the wall.
“You seem like an enemy brother...”
The seal of the oath bound to Calian’s heart was still there.
So the light green peas are still green.
Damn you.
A bastard who is stubborn at not listening.
Still, I’m sure I won’t sell my heart and come back somewhere else.
Otherwise.
– Toad, toad, toad.
No problem.
You’ll live longer than a cat
