Chapter 311

Chapter 55. Into the abyss,

the knights who followed your (3) king’s orders stood with their backs to the royal palace.

The birds following their master stood facing the royal palace.

Some people have swords, some people have bows, and some people have memorized them, but in the end, they are all the same. Everyone was aiming at each other for the one who gave their life.

“Yellow robin.”

That there is no name.

But only that one thing was different.

Every country on the continent and the great desert. Regardless of where they nested, they diligently gathered information and passed it on to their owners. He was loyal to his master even though he deceived and betrayed others. These were people who lived to obey their master’s commands and died to keep their master’s commands.

‘If you have anything to say, say it. ‘I will listen.’

‘No degradation.’

Therefore, except for the fact that they had no names, there was no difference between the knight who followed the king and the bird who followed the master. Many of them were suspected of having ties to Zeon and were forced to fold their wings, but those who remained remained Chase’s loyal birds.

‘Go back to the nest. I will contact you when necessary.’

The gathered people were standing in front of the royal palace.

Instead of the birds of Devlan, the birds of Chase, who would only obey Chase’s words, stood in front of the palace.

“Yellow robin. I think that was the name.”

“It’s Surveyin Chamberman.”

And now those gathered here were no longer nameless birds. He took up the sword with his own name and face, with his own thoughts and will.

– I hope that if the yellow bird delivers my words, you will save it, and if it does not, I hope that you will believe it.

Yellow robin surveyin.

A person who followed behind Euria and Arsene, disobeying Chase’s order not to pursue Euria. Thanks to this, he almost died at the hands of Chase, but his life was saved by Calian’s words and letter.

The knight captain quietly passed his hands behind his back. And he stretched out a finger toward the palace. Then, one of the knights standing last quietly turned and disappeared into the darkness. The intention is to inform the royal palace of this news.

To buy time for Devlan to hear the news, the knight captain spoke again.

“Survain. Yes, that was the name. I thought you’d forgotten.”

“Isn’t that what I’m saying?”

“What brings the birds here?”

“To protect my master.”

Devlan and Teilan would sometimes select those who stood out among aspiring knights and raise them as Sejak. Therefore, there were often birds that had a moderate affinity with knights. And most of these people lived their whole lives in a foreign country and then died. This is because those with well-known faces had a lot of difficulty operating within their own country. Because it was difficult to provide expensive disguise magic tools to all the birds.

It was the same with Surveyin.

Like Aila, Serbane was once an aspiring knight, so she was familiar with the knight commander who was currently defending the castle.

“Are the birds so stupid that they forget who the real owner is because they are only trying to remember my own name?”

Chase is said to be the master, but isn’t it Devlan who controls the birds? Surveyin laughed at what was said about that.

“Well, all the birds gathered here only remember the person who gave them the last food. Because, as you said, birds are stupid.”

“You are so good at saying that you are targeting treason.”

“Isn’t it you who packaged our actions as treason? You were the ones who attacked the lowly people first. So how can you call that treason? Raising a sword to block the coming blade is not treason, but defense.”

“No. It’s treason. Unless you don’t know what a traitor means, stop before it’s too late.”

“I know very well the consequences of breaking orders.”

A yellow robin becomes the new leader of the birds, succeeding the white eagle who betrayed Chase and was unable to hear or speak. Surveyin continued.

“But it seems like it’s you, not me, who doesn’t know something.”

“what are you talking about.”

“You don’t even know how many birds there are.”

Surveyin’s hand went up.

A hand signal to form a formation was issued from a powerfully extended hand.

– Let’s go!

The sound of stepping on shadows rang out all at once, as if they had been waiting. People dressed in black came out one after another from here and there in the darkness. And they were surrounded by Raijian private soldiers holding magic lanterns.

The sound echoed even inside the inner room.

Before we knew it, the knights in the inner city had been subdued and the arrows of other birds on the castle wall were aimed at the knights.

The knight commander’s face hardened when he saw that.

Surveyin said, taking a step closer to the knight commander.

“Are you now worried that I invited you and poisoned the food? Last time, you drank tea without hesitation.”

“Yes, I was warned not to eat anything.”

“Who would give the crown prince of Kairis a warning?”

“Who could there be?”

Plantz, who blatantly expressed his intention not to trust Devlan, answered as if asking a question. And I furrowed my eyebrows as I remembered the person who had so opposed me from taking this position.

Since it wasn’t a very difficult answer to guess, Devlan said with a small smile.

“In any case, this is my opportunity to apologize to you for what happened yesterday. I don’t know if you know this, but I have never played any tricks on your food or tea. I guess I can take this as an act of trust.”

“All right.”

Plantz said this and nodded. But still didn’t touch anything.

“It’s just that flowers and seafood don’t suit my taste.”

And he just said this and pointed to the table.

The abundance of seafood, edible flowers, and colorful flower decorations that did not take the guests’ tastes into consideration at all were noticeable.

“Oh my. I didn’t know that.”

“it’s okay.”

It was funny to even urge him to lift anything anymore. Besides, in any case, the purpose was to invite Plantz and talk, not to continue a friendly meal. So Devlan nodded and drank the water next to him.

“Yes. The story was long. It’s because I was so upset that I couldn’t even organize what I wanted to say. Please understand.”

“Is that so.”

“Outside the palace, there are people who are plotting against me, and inside the palace, there are people who are trying to get rid of me. I was wondering how to get out of this deep trap, but no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t think of a way. Then I found out. In the end, I thought it was because I was anxious. My son “How can I not be upset when a sword is pointed at me?”

“majesty.”

Plantz looked at Devlan.

Planz stared at Devlan for a moment and slowly opened his mouth.

“I think I will be disappointed if you say the same thing as Briesen.”

This guy and that guy, why do they put blood in their mouths when they are cornered?

“Tell me what you want and I will listen.”

Plantz, who hates flowers, seafood, and talking too much, but hates obvious pretense based on the same bloodline the most, stopped Devlan from speaking.

“Do you know what I want?”

“It’s war.”

“What makes you think that?”

“Louise, a concubine who can be taken hostage by Crown Prince Chase, and Crown Prince Chase’s fiancé have evacuated to a safe place. Crown Prince Chase is being protected by Prince Calian, and outside, it seems that Marquis Rayjian Lin is gathering private troops. ”

Devlan was looking at Plantz without saying anything.

“They are guarded by Prince Chase’s birds. Now that Your Highness is holding Prince Chase captive, the only way Your Highness can think of is war. If war breaks out, everything will turn around. It’s a war with a good cause, like Alan Manasil’s preemptive strike. Isn’t that right?”

A smile appeared on Devlan’s face.

“You said that if you ask me how to live, I will tell you. “To me.”

“Yes.”

“If you tell me that, I will help you get back safely alone. There is no way the 3rd prince will quietly enter the tower.”

This talkative person finally got to the point.

“Calian said that. “Your Majesty, there must be something you absolutely don’t know.”

“You don’t know. What is it?”

“I didn’t intend to betray my brother from the beginning.”

“... Is that so?”

“And there’s one more thing.” After

saying this, Plantz took out something from his chest and walked forward. I put it down. Devlan’s eyes were focused on what was in Plantz’s hand.

– I think I heard something about going back alone or about the tower. Could it be that it was about my sons?

Devlan frowned.

The voice continued.

– I have no intention of engaging in war, but I can send an army to your country. Only for the sake of one of your lives.

Planz smiled wryly.

The father to call was not only Calian.
