Chapter 265

Chapter 47. I set a trap well (1)

The deep blue sea visible beyond the transparent wall.

An indoor garden filled with bright blue skies and pure white clouds, cacti with golden thorns and trees with huge green leaves. And a beautiful fountain made of black marble.

I guarantee that if Sispanian had said the sea was good, Hatsuara would have built a palace that would have been as good or better than the one here now. It is clear that the country was founded by somehow expanding its territory to the sea, or if that was not possible, it would have created a sea instead of a forest at the north gate.

However, unfortunately, thanks to the ancient dragon’s love of snow, Calian had no choice but to take in this wonderful scenery with his eyes.

“I eat it because they give it to me...”

While eating beef jerky.

“Actually, I prefer grilled meat over dried meat.”

Plantz frowned at the words of Calian, who was still sitting on the bench chewing and swallowing a piece of beef jerky. Then, I thought that was something a guy who had just finished eating all that beef jerky in one sitting would say, so I finally said something.

“I won’t get caught this time.”

It’s not something to hide, but who would see that guy as a half-elf anyway?

Less than two hours have passed since I returned to the luncheon invited by Grand Elder Narzan. I wouldn’t have thought that if I hadn’t eaten beef jerky as dessert after a meal, which could easily be enough for a day’s worth of food.

As expected, the overalls fit reasonably well, as if they were generous, and the heights were always similar. Now, Plantz, who has managed to answer the biggest question of his life, which is where all the food you eat goes, without hiding his Aura, asked a fairly normal question.

“Do you have no intention of meeting Queen Freya’s blood relatives?”

Everyone knew that Freya had a younger brother. Moreover, since she was an elf, wouldn’t Freya’s parents also be alive if there were no other problems?

“I have to meet him. I was already thinking of asking the elder where he was, but I hesitated because I was worried.”

“Does my brother know how to hesitate?”

If I had lived without hesitation until now, brother, you would have disappeared from this world on the first day I changed. Calian, who had a face that made him want to say, smiled quietly and answered.

“I don’t know.”

“Why did you hesitate?”

“I’m afraid I’ll hear the same story again. It might be a little different.”

Red eyes. Incomplete blood vessels. Mixed race. Mutation.

I’m afraid that the meeting will become meaningless and will only increase the number of things I’ve heard so many times.

“...I don’t know.”

“Yes. It’s hard to know what he’ll say until we meet. Anyway, when I can take my eyes off Secretia’s business, I’ll look for him and meet him.”

“okay.”

After answering, Planz, who was watching Kalian, thought for a moment about whether there was any more jerky left, and then opened his mouth.

“Xeon. Why don’t you ask?”

There is nothing left.

I need to think about something else.

“Even though they are acting more favorably than when I first saw them, I still think an elf is an elf. I don’t think it’s the right time to ask.”

“then when.”

“That is also after resolving the Secretia matter first. There is a possibility that Zeon and the elves have a close relationship, but if that were the case, if the elder found out that I was interested in Zeon, I would not be able to properly help in resolving the Secretia matter. .”

Kalian concluded the story like this.

Plantz nodded once and looked at the mermaid statue in the fountain for a moment. Then I walked towards a plant I had never seen before and stretched out my hand.

Calian opened his mouth to Plantz, who was touching a wide leaf full of white fluffy thorns with his fingertips.

“It’s a banana tree. Brother, this is your first time seeing it. If you take that fluff and plant it, it will turn into a banana.”

“... It’s not the beef jerky I gave you to make you bark more.”

I wasn’t fooled.

To be honest, I almost believed it for a moment, but my brother’s voice sounded different than usual. Then I remembered that the banana tree I saw in the book didn’t look like this. thank god.

Anyway, Plantz was stroking the leaves that were shining in the sunlight a few more times, thinking that he really couldn’t lie, and looked at Calian, who was laughing as if it was fun.

“Is that why you can’t lie?”

“No. Normally I can’t do it. It’s not that I can’t do it because I’m a half-elf. Kirie is good at it.”

When I asked why it looked so pretty, I was told that it must be because it was a half-elf, and it was obvious that I would be told to get out of there right away, so I just put it in. Kalian knew well that the only people who would accept such words were Jan and Alan.

In addition, Calian, who did not even mention the question of whether he often lied before changing into his current form, opened his mouth in a passing tone.

“... This is Renishita.”

Renicita in the square.

Planz took his hand off the leaf for a moment.

Why was it that the one I chose and touched among so many cacti was Renishita? Calian let out a silent sigh and added a short comment.

“So don’t look at it too strangely.”

In fact, there was no need to spread Renicita leaves because there was magic, but the royal family continued to carry out sentences in that way. Meaning of warning. In other words, it was intended to maintain symbolism and leave awareness of the death penalty in people’s minds.

And not long ago.

A Lenisita leaf for Lennon Brissen was laid out in the square.

Planz, who felt as if his arms were numb like the day he punched Lennon, clenched and unclenched his fists for a moment, then put his hands on the Lenicita leaves again and said,

“Take a look at this and that for yourself.”

Calian gave a small laugh and nodded.

“Then take it and plant it. See if the banana grows or not.”

“Stop barking. Water.”

“yes.”

Calian, who still understood one thing Plants said very well, nodded, made a water drop, and placed it on a Lenicita leaf.

– It’s amazing that they manage the wizards to that degree outside of the palace. It looks like Prince Planz is still doing his job well. Aren’t wizards very diverse?

Calian, looking at the green-haired man running next to the two wizards, nodded.

The color of the remaining cabbage after removing five or five layers of pink and orange.

– Yes... it’s colorful.

It looks like the top of a rainbow.

a little...... It looks like a macaron.

– I was already planning to contact you, but it was surprising that Prince Calian contacted me first.

As I was looking at the colorful feast for a moment, I heard Chase’s voice again.

– What’s going on?

– Marquis Lin was arrested a little while ago.

Calian, who immediately recognized that she was Arianne’s mother, let out a sigh.

– Is it because of Marquis Lin’s private army?

– Can I ask why you think that way?

– If Arianne becomes the Marquis’ representative, Prince Chase will be able to move the Marquis’ private troops more easily. In addition, since marquis and above can stay in the palace, Arianne will be able to be protected within the palace.

– ah. I would be a little uneasy if Prince Calian found out these two reasons right away.

Chase’s voice is like a gentle breeze blowing in the deep woods. Calian, who was looking at the rippling sea, smiled softly.

– Are you worried that King Secretia will notice?

– I guess so.

– It’s probably a bait to lure King Secretia anyway, so I don’t think it would matter if he noticed.

Chase fell silent for a moment after hearing this.

To arrest the Marquis of Lynn and allow Arianne to briefly wield all authority, including the Marquis’s private army. And Chase brings Arianne to the palace to keep her safe.

With this intention, the plan was to make Devlan realize that Chase had condoned the arrest of Marquis Lynn. And Calian noticed the plan right away.

– Isn’t the King of Secretia someone who cares for Crown Prince Chase the most?

Externally, Devlan treated Chase very well, to the extent that Alan commented that Devlan was a bit harsh but a better person than LeMaine. In this situation, if Chase takes down Devlan himself, the nobles have only one thing to do.

‘Chase, who was known to have a gentle nature, turns out to be even more cold-blooded than his father.’

There was no way the nobles, who were already holding their breath due to Devlan’s tyranny, would welcome Chase’s ascension to the throne. When the previous king died and a new king ascended the throne, there was a very high possibility that he would try to establish a new royal lineage.

– So you have to show it. Shouldn’t we make it clear how the King of Secretia actually regards Crown Prince Chase?

To let the nobles know that Devlan was viewing Chase as a ‘competitor’ rather than a son.

Let the nobles who were secretly holding hands under Devlan’s sword imagine the bleak future after Chase, whom they regarded as their last hope, is sacrificed to Devlan.

So, it was their first plan to reach out to Chase a little more boldly and give them the cause and sword that Chase currently does not have.

– yes. you’re right. That’s what I’m thinking. In a situation where you can’t find a healer, didn’t you receive a message full of reprimands from the King of Kairis? So, I thought my father would be very impatient by now, so I tolerated the arrest of Marquis Lin, who was blocking the influx of Tensil healers.

– Here, we plan to summon King Secretia to the elf city. Since he is a very suspicious person, I think he will never come, but I think I will have to wait and see how he responds first.

After hearing Calian’s words, Chase lowered his gaze for a moment instead of answering. It was a short letter delivered through a messenger sent to the royal palace of Kairis.

‘I know you plan to put the nobles on your back. I also know that your fiancé’s faction will be blindfolded. I want you to let me know what you plan to do after that.’

A sentence written without anything to hide. Unlike Kalian’s handwriting, which is neat and powerful without a single hint of disorder, the handwriting appears cursive but is elegant and thin. It was a letter from Plants that I had received once.

– I hope you don’t overdo it.

– Don’t worry, I’m not overdoing it, Prince Calian.

After answering this, Chase’s hand lifted up the letter.

Chase, who was looking at the ring that was included, smiled softly and heard Calian’s words.

– The King of Secretia is also a ghost that must be taken away with my own hands. Please let us know if you need any help. Anything.

– All right.

Calian, who had no idea what was on the wrist of Planz, who hadn’t even rolled up his sleeves the entire time he was here, or what the falcon sent by Jeon Seo-gu, who was living well at the Kairis palace, had delivered to the crown prince of Secretia, looked up.

The bright red sun was turning the blue sea golden. The sky between red and blue is extremely beautiful.

Calian, whose eyes had become golden in the light of the setting sun, blinked and continued speaking.

– I can see the sun setting from here now. It was great to watch the sun rise from that small sea in Secretia, but it’s a bit disappointing that the sun doesn’t rise here.

– If you look at each moment, is there any difference between the rising sun and the setting sun?

– Both of them are beautiful from moment to moment, but I can’t help but feel a little different.

– Then, one day I will come here. I guess we can see it that day. Prince Calian.

Calian looked at the orange-haired and pink-haired wizards, who were exhausted, and his older brother, who was supporting them while standing next to them, and then looked at the vast sea again.

– I will go to the coronation ceremony.

Let’s take a look at the rising sun.

Now I want to dip my feet in that sea.

To properly face the face I wanted to see.

I just want to do that without needing to worry about safety, the situation, positioning, or anything else.

– older brother.

I got greedy one more time.

For a long time after that.

For a long time, Chase didn’t say anything.

– ......Just wait.

And he answered like this.

It’s been a really long time.
