Chapter 46. He is a prince (1)
There is a lake in front of Chermil Palace.
There is a small stream at the back of Arpia Palace.
A stream also flows through the back of Siegfried Pavilion, a beautiful banquet hall. This is because the water flowing from Arpia Palace continues to Siegfried Pavilion. And as you pass through the wooden corridor that resembles a walking path that surrounds Senyu Pavilion, you have to pass a stepping stone that crosses the stream.
Like this, there were large and small lakes, fountains and streams all over the Kairis Palace.
Cispanians loved snow and hated rain.
Cispanians are said to hate narrow and stuffy things.
Thanks to the Cispanians who did not tell us whether they liked or disliked something other than this, many natural landscapes other than the sea were artificially created in the Kyiris Palace. Hatsuara, who didn’t know what Sispanian liked, just threw in a lot of things and made it, and that’s how it ended up.
“Beep!”
Thanks to this, I was excited about one yellow creature.
Aside from the lake at Chermil Palace or the stream at Arpia Palace, where you cannot walk unless you are a member of the royal family or accompanied by a member of the royal family, the Seigne Pavilion is a place where anyone can enter. A bright yellow duckling standing on a stepping stone there made a chirping sound.
“You still have a long way to go to get in there, so just take a look.”
Arsene, who humbly accepted the situation of having a baby duckling of his own after drinking and waking up, opened his mouth again, thanks to the baby duckling who took on as its mother a wizard with bright blue hair who caught his eye as soon as it hatched from the egg.
“I think I’ve lost all the air. Come here now. Then I’m really going to jump in.”
Arsene, who was very anxious to see the duckling, which was only a few days old, already standing at the end of the stepping stone sniffing the water, quickly grabbed the duckling with both hands.
“Beep!”
The duckling, which was gently placed in Arsene’s hand, made a chirping sound.
– Cats grow quickly, but ducks seem to grow faster.
Leisurely lunch time.
Hina, who was with me, looked at the duckling with a curious face. There was only one reason why I was just staring. This is because the duckling has not followed anyone yet except Arsene.
Arsene smiled happily as he looked at the duckling, which had grown noticeably heavier over the past few days.
“The corps commander said that small things are different from day to day.”
Hina smiled as she thought about Lucy and Anne, who were currently playing around with the Balkan members who were sleeping or eating in the office.
“Beep!”
“Are you hungry after walking around? Just wait a moment. This mom will give you something to eat.”
Euria did that.
The first thing a baby bird sees is its mother. Arsene listened carefully and was doing a great job of being a duck mother.
After putting the duckling down on the ground again for a moment, Arsene took out a handful of feed from the wizard’s pocket he was carrying and held it out in front of the duck. Then, I suddenly thought it was fun and started laughing and muttering to myself.
“The prince will have a pretty complicated face when he sees this.”
-Why the kind prince?
“I appointed you to be the vice commander of the Balkan corps, and one of you walked around covered in cat fur, and the other walked around carrying duck feed.”
In Calian’s memories, wasn’t it said that they were like devils? The two men leading such an army wear cat fur and duck feed instead of dignity. Isn’t it impossible to cry or laugh?
– You’ll love it.
“Why do you think that?”
– Because it’s the military. Balkan is not an army created to take over. You will also like carrying around duck feed because you will realize how precious life is.
“Did it look like that to you?”
Hina nodded.
– I think that’s probably why the caring prince gathered the wizards. The fact that Duke Little has many wounds on his hands is probably the same. My brother was like that. I didn’t fight to hurt others, I fought to keep myself from getting hurt.
Arsene smiled as he watched the duckling waddling on its small webbed feet happily eating its food.
“Okay, I understand what you mean. Can I ask one more question?”
When Hina nodded, Arsene looked towards the Wilhelm coffin for a moment and said.
“Knight Sir Bern is protecting you, the Duke is protecting his fiancé, and the prince is learning strength to protect more people. What does the prince’s older brother, the vice-captain prince, seem to be trying to protect? I wonder why he learned the sword and magic so much. “I don’t understand why you want to learn.”
Isn’t this Plantz, who always says that he is a prince and that he is the vice commander? It was difficult to understand why he bothered to raise a sword when he was already using that position as a force. To say that he learned the sword to gain recognition from others after ascending to the rank of marquis, hadn’t he already been learning the sword long before that?
– I don’t know, but I think the good prince has the same reason as me.
Hina stopped for a moment and touched her ear once. I spoke again, recalling my original ears, which I couldn’t quite remember how long they were.
– I didn’t want to be a weak person. I didn’t want to be taken advantage of in any way. I think the good prince probably did that too. I thought that the kind prince knew that and was diligent in teaching me.
“is it.”
Siona followed Calian’s gaze as he mumbled the words. The prince had been in and out of the rainbow during the day, but now he was seen standing in front of the waves.
“Is it your brother?”
“huh.”
“I heard you like eating grass.”
“Yeah...”
“But you look strong for your age and have some muscles.”
“......Eat beans.”
“Oh yeah.”
“huh.”
The sound of waves could be heard as if filling the momentary silence.
Siona found her next words and spoke them out.
“Is it because of the royal blood that he is good at using a sword?”
“No. You’re just learning well. My oldest brother doesn’t act like that.”
It’s like corn silk or something.
There is also one person who is weaker but stiffer.
Calian, who swallowed a single unspeakable sound, chuckled. Siona, looking at Calian like that, asked.
“Has there been a situation where you didn’t receive an apology on time?”
“To my brother?”
Siona nodded and Calian shook his head. Siona saw that and said with a grin.
“You’re just as bad at lying as elves.”
Kalian laughed.
Then he said while using clean magic on Siona.
“Your wound is open. I’ll ask you to treat it when you see the captain tomorrow, so don’t act like you’re fine and go get some rest.”
They said they were holding it down with aurors to prevent the wound from opening further, but after starting the morning so hot and walking around so far, there was no way it would have taken a toll on my body.
“You’re still okay, so you don’t have to worry.”
“I didn’t go in to rest because my companions weren’t feeling well. You and I are strangers here, so make sure you stay in good condition. “Don’t increase my load.”
Only then did Siona nod her head.
“Sure.”
Siona simply answered and turned around, and a ‘ring’ sound was heard. Calian, who had been staring at Siona’s back for a while, turned his head.
There was the sound of waves, and the sound of bells went away.
There was the sound of the wind, and Planz was still standing in front of the waves.
* * *
Calian, who climbed up to where the Grand Elder was, looked out the window.
Under a clear sky, the deep blue sea stretched out beneath his feet. .
“Is this the territory of Rivern?”
The sea near Secretia did not emit such a dark light. Tensil did not get along well with the elves who had healing powers, so if the elves built a city somewhere and connected it to Kairis. This was something I said because I thought it might be Rivern.
After putting down three cups of green tea with dried peaches and apples, an elf went out and the person in front of Calian shook his head and answered, “Between Rivern and the Great Desert
. It’s a land without an owner.”
“Why are you trying to live in the wrong place when you have such a great place?”
Plantz, who was picking up the teacup and smelling the scent and taking a sip, looked at Calian. That little brother would at least say hello and talk to him. I knew it, but it was because I didn’t know to get straight to the point.
The Grand Elder, who hadn’t even introduced his name, looked at Calian sitting in front of him, dressed in a black uniform, and opened his mouth.
“It’s Narzan. Elves don’t use last names, so take note.”
Calian didn’t answer and just stared at the elder who introduced himself as Narzan. After thinking about the reason for a while, Narzan looked towards Plants for a moment and answered, “When
? After all, you can’t be weak to Kairis.”
“Yes.”
“You won’t tell me who you are.”
Calian laughed slightly at the words, as if he was trying to get Calian to say his name. After that, he shook his head. He lifted it up and answered,
“He is the prince of Kairis.”
