Chapter 262

Chapter 46. It’s a prince (3)

There was no need to hear a knock.

As I passed through the hallway and approached the front office, there was someone who opened the door and greeted me warmly.

“Welcome, Lord Bern.”

The person who visited was Hina, and the person who greeted was Alan. Hina, holding something in her arms and sticking out her eyes, bowed her head and said hello. Because the unexpected object seemed very heavy, Allen quickly took it from Hina’s hand and placed it on the table.

Meanwhile, Aila, who followed Hina, showed courtesy and closed the door from the outside. Alan, who caught a glimpse of that figure, looked at what Hina was carrying and asked.

“Isn’t it Kabania? It must be quite expensive.”

– yes that’s right.

The red flowers had a sweet scent, not a floral scent.

At first glance, it resembles a peony, but it is much smaller and the shape of its petals is unique. Hina spoke to Alan, who was looking down at a flower pot full of mysterious flowers.

– I had a hard time finding it because I thought it was medicinal, but Veronica said it wasn’t what she was looking for, so I tried to grow it in my office. Then, when I saw the flower blooming, I thought the corps commander would like it, so I brought it.

Red petals as transparent as jewels.

As he was looking at it, Alan suddenly remembered his student’s pretty eyes and made an expression as pleasant as the sweet scent. It had already been a while since I had seen Calian, so he was quite dazzling before my eyes.

“Thank you for your consideration. I will raise it well with all my heart.”

Hina nodded with a smile and stood up.

I didn’t have any special business to do, but I came to deliver a flower pot, so I was just about to get up. But Alan got up quickly and prepared tea.

It seemed like she had something else she wanted to say, so Hina just waited for a while without saying anything else or asking if Aila could come in with her.

Before long, two cups of refreshing-smelling mint tea were placed on the table. After that, Alan, who sat across from Hina again, glanced towards the door and opened his mouth.

“I heard about Wilhelm Kwan’s affair. I heard that the guy standing outside the door has stronger hands than I expected. Is it worth staying with him? Are there any awkward spots?”

– Are you an escort? Yes, I’m doing well. We became a lot closer.

“If you have any inconveniences during your stay, please tell me. The prince is so angry that he will take good care of you, so much so that my ears prick up.”

Hina nodded and took a sip of the tea just handed to her. Then he put down the teacup and said.

– cool. It’s the same leaf, but it tastes different and smells different.

The mint tea that Alan gave her tasted better than any tea that Hina had ever drunk. The scent was cool, but it tasted warm.

“Still, I always find it difficult to make this. Coffee always needs to be made strong, and strawberry tea only needs to be made light, so isn’t this guy always the problem?”

The coffee that Alan and Arsene drink is always strong, and the strawberry tea for Plants is always light. And the mint tea that Kalyan drinks is absolutely delicious. Therefore, car for Kalyan is the most difficult.

Knowing full well that that was what Hina was saying, she nodded again and then asked.

– By the way, Eila is from Secretia?

Alan had already sat Hina down to ask if Aila was getting along, but when these words came out of Hina’s fingertips, he looked surprised.

Actually, what Hina noticed wasn’t that big of a deal.

Although I had never met Aela in person when I accompanied Rosellita to Calian, I knew that Aila was from the ‘Whitlin’ territory.

“Not now. Does that bother you at all?”

– no. Howie’s last name. I know where it is. So I was curious whether the person really came from there or if it was a castle that the prince named.

“I understand that it was built by the prince. Is there a place like that in Secretia?”

– yes. there is. I heard it was a small forest.

Alan made a bewildered expression without Hina knowing.

Oh my, our pretty student has created something to get caught about again. I guess I should contact Chase sometime and ask him to change the name of the place called Bridget. My flower-like student accidentally used the place name Secretia when naming herself. What should I do? I guess we should change that place name.

While Alan was making plans to create something big for himself, Hina continued speaking.

– It was written in a letter left by my deceased mother. He said it was where he first met his mom and dad.

Hina’s mother.

Was he an elf who did something wrong and was exiled? Is that why he lived in hiding in the forest of Secretia instead of Kairis?

– Not long ago, His Majesty called me. When he asked if I wanted to do something other than being an engineer, I said I didn’t want to live as a nameless bird. I said I would live with pride and die with honor. He said he would live and die as a knight like a prince. however.

– Ayla.

– I don’t think you need to do that.

Forgiveness. Unobtainable.

It’s like a river flowing with many words. No matter what I do, I can’t show and hear anymore, so I just stay silent.

– King. The blue warbler... folded its wings.

-......The body.

– We will try to resolve the matter through the birds that went to Tensil.

– Come find me. Bring it here.

So, in the end, he was driven into the deep, dark water and sank alone.

The whale’s cry.

“Go back to the past. Because you forgot all the people you need to ask for forgiveness and survived. Whether you die at the hands of someone else or not, you won’t have blood on your hands. So now that you have no one to atone for, you’ll feel at ease. If the baby knife is that color. Like that. “I’m not going to live like a brat just because I’m the older brother.”

There was a fishy smell full of salt.

I feel like the fishy smell of the sea is somehow familiar. I feel like I’m standing in the sea.

“The bastard who went crazy because he was buried in the smell of blood that no one knows about, doesn’t care whether the person who spilled the blood is alive or dead, and lives his life in atonement. That’s your responsibility. Don’t get out of that water and die, just suffocate in there and continue. live.”

Life as Bern.

“You... Don’t think that you don’t deserve it just because you weren’t the Calian you used to be. Even if you can’t forgive me for what I did to Calian, you can forgive me. It’s okay. “Don’t force yourself to ignore him because you think he’s fake even though he has all the memories. What happens to Chase if you do that? Don’t make your former brother into someone who has disappeared.”

And life as an old Calian.

“If you decide to take on everything, take both responsibility and rights. Don’t take only what you are responsible for, take everything. If it seems natural, take it for granted. If it seems greedy, be greedy. You can do that.”

– Brother, here is the kaleidoscope. You left it in the garden yesterday. Ah, red... I didn’t know you hated it. Then can I have this? I’ll consider it a birthday present.

– Brother, have you ever seen what’s in here? It looks like a red star is twinkling.

– Brother, do you know what? Just like us, Secretia has a funeral with flowers... I hope the flowers for me turn into red stars and fly away.

– It’s not my brother. I just said it out loud. There’s nothing wrong. Because of the jewels in the kaleidoscope. That’s what I thought because it looked like it had stars in it. Nothing happened. no. He didn’t come. yes. Nothing really happened. It’s really just something I said.

– Brother...

My head drops as I am flooded with memories.

Through the fishy smell of salt, there was another fishy smell.

“Don’t do that...”

I complained.

I let out a breath I couldn’t hold any longer. I took a breath.

“Don’t do that all of a sudden just because of my words.”

The white hand that was clinging to it trembled slightly.

A new scar appeared on top of the long scar on the palm of my hand. Blood spreads on the pure white collar that I held tightly.

“How can I know if you don’t tell me? How can I understand... If you don’t talk, how can I understand? I should have explained it... I should have explained it to you!”

Because he was an old Calian, he could not forgive, but because he was Bern, who could not ask for forgiveness from anyone because he could not save anyone. Because I was unable to finally rebuke my brother who would never be forgiven.

“Why do you look so similar? Why do you look so similar to me? Why do you look so much like me?”

I finally understood.

Because that is what Kalyan is now. In the end, I had no choice but to understand.

“Brother...”

I got greedy.

Before I knew it, the transparent emotions that I could no longer hide, which had been piled up on top of my feet submerged in the sea, fell one by one. They dripped into the water filled with the same salty smell.

The waves came quietly and then quietly moved away.
