Chapter 69. Cat (3)
Wait a minute, Demirea.
Let me explain.
okay. I know very well that this is a training ground where it’s okay to take out a knife, but let’s talk for a moment. As I said last time, I’m not a cowardly person who makes excuses like that.
Now, this isn’t an excuse, it’s an explanation. There is a big difference between an excuse and an explanation, even though they sound somewhat similar. So, let me explain in a moment. We can handle that much between us. Have you forgotten what our relationship is like?
You’re in a worse relationship than the other person you accidentally married. What should I do if you say such harsh words, Demirea? Did you really change your mind just because you changed your appearance?
Yeah... sorry.
He shakes his head a lot.
I’ll tie it back up right away... Wait a minute.
ruler. Demirea. Look at this.
It is this bracelet that makes me look like this, this bracelet is what I shared with my teacher to connect with her, and this bracelet is connected to Aila. There are already three bracelets that I am wearing right now. It suits you well, right? No, that’s not it.
This isn’t a big problem when using it normally, but when people are in a hurry, it gets a little confusing.
The windows were shaking and there was chaos outside. It hasn’t even been that long since something like that happened to Ayla. It was during our first meal since it happened, so of course I wouldn’t be surprised, right? In that situation, I still took off the bracelet. I broke the order that Hina told me never to take off, and I found the bracelet and took it off so as not to break the promise I made to you.
That’s really admirable.
no.
I’m not saying I did a good job... I just said that.
Anyway, I took off my bracelet. Then I opened the window and ran.
It’s been a while since I’ve been to the Wilhelm Pavilion, so I didn’t know that there was a new treatment room here, and I really didn’t know where it was located. If I had known that I was in front of a training center crowded with Vulcan guys when I ran, I would have calmly taken the stairs instead of running.
But it was a little strange. I ran out and saw that my body and head were still the same, the wizards were amazed and the knights were trying to hold back their swords, so I thought something was wrong. But what can I do? It’s already too late.
Yeah... I know.
I’m not saying this out of pride...
Anyway, that’s what happened.
I didn’t do that on purpose. And even though I can see it all in front of the Balkan guys, they don’t know why I have this face. Really. I really don’t know. These guys here are louder than you think. So, word of this matter won’t spread that much, and even if Jan finds out, he won’t be suspicious or notice it in a strange way. You know that. It’s Jan.
No no no.
I didn’t swear at you. Am I the kind of person who will make fun of and curse at someone without a clue? That’s not true.
People should speak with their mouths, so why try to use a sword?
Then you can’t use it, Demirea.
...... okay. That’s not what I’m talking about.
So why did Siona turn her attention away from the fight and take on this Sadal... Right. This is not what I want to say either.
Okay, Demirea.
I’ll keep my mouth shut and be quiet.
* * *
I had to keep up the disguise.
However, it was difficult to hide that fact.
This is not a story about Kalyan.
“Then it means that all the sword masters of the continent are gathered here now.”
It was about the continent’s first sword, Teilan Castrin.
A new talent that Calian accepted shortly after Evan’s death. A prosecutor from Secretia Sejak who Kalian met while he was away at Rosellita’s coming-of-age ceremony. A prosecutor for whom Lemain personally created a new identity named Aila Bridget.
“Are you unable to hide the fact that Taylan Castrin came here because of the attack on the swordsman and Calian by Marquis Briesen’s son and tell me?”
“Yes, that’s right, Your Highness.”
“If that hadn’t happened, I wouldn’t have known his true identity until he returned.”
“I guess so.”
Ayla and Kalyan were attacked by Rashid.
It appears that there is some type of group behind Rashid that has been continuously attacking Kalyan. But just in time, Taylan Castrin came as Arianne’s escort. Disguised as a Chase knight named Surveyin Chamberman.
As the situation progressed, it became possible that Teylan’s help might be needed, so Alan decided not to hide the fact that ‘Survain Chamberman’ who came as Arianne’s escort was in fact ‘Teylan Castrin’. So, I was informing Lemain of the contents belatedly.
Lemain, who was silent for a moment, opened his mouth.
“It seems you knew about this a long time ago. As soon as Calian returned, you brought him to the palace.”
“I thought it would be better for you not to know.”
“There must already be a lot of things I don’t know about.”
“It’s not that many. But it’s not none.”
“It’s probably for the kingdom and Kalyan, rather than for me.”
“It’s the right thing to do for Prince Calian and the continent.”
“Have you ever thought that deceiving me and covering my eyes like that might seem no different from what Brisen did?”
“Do you think so?”
Lemain looked at Alan.
He spoke in a soft voice, but what was inside was not soft at all. Lemain, who thought for a moment about what to say, opened his mouth.
“I ask you just one thing.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“The reason I hide it and don’t reveal it is because I don’t need to know, or because I don’t have the qualifications to know.”
“It’s both.”
What changed in Calian, the relationship between Calian and Chase, what happened to Zeon, the real reason why the Sword Master was brought to this land, what will happen in the future. I gave answers to all of them. There is no need to know and no qualifications.
“If the day comes when you think it will be okay. At that time, do you plan to tell me everything?”
“there is.”
Alan’s eyes glowed calmly as he answered truthfully.
LeMaine said after staring at Alan for a while again.
“I hope that day comes before I die.”
Alan laughed quietly.
Then he picked up a candied violet with his hand and put it in his mouth.
The sweet taste of sugar.
And the scent of violets spreads in my mouth.
An expensive dessert that doesn’t have a very good texture and isn’t that tasty compared to its shiny appearance. Alan swallowed it sweetly and nodded.
“I hope that day never comes.”
The Balkan people, who expected the sparring to end soon, are holding their breath.
– With my daughter...!
The drops shake.
Siona extended her sword. Kirie blocked it.
It hits hard. Kirie blocked it. It lunges at you, aiming for the waist and shoulders at the same time. Kirie blocked it.
– Ja-bak, jap-a-bak.
I hear small footsteps.
Siona sees two people entering the quiet crowd. Two people come in. However, I only feel the energy of one person. I can’t feel the other person’s energy at all. That’s annoying.
The drops shake.
Kyrie stretched out her sword. Siona blocked it.
Leap high and send the sword down as if slashing. Siona blocked it. Kirie quickly changed direction and aimed for the vital spot on the side that wasn’t defending.
But Siona.
Siona’s gaze, which followed Kyrie, briefly landed on those who had just entered. I reached a place that bothered me. I saw one person who didn’t show any sign. Then my eyes landed on the person next to me.
Silver hair and black eyes. saw it
‘Whitlin!’
Siona’s eyes waver.
Kyrie’s eyes waver.
Kirie strengthens her arms.
Twist the sword that was reaching towards Siona. However, Kirie’s sword is too fast to turn back.
– Jing!
The bell shook.
Siona’s eyes look at Kyrie’s sword heading towards her neck. Recall a situation you had forgotten for a while. Siona twisted her head. I picked up my sword. It splits the air.
– ...... Ugh!
The reason Kalian said that Kyrie is going through the most important time right now. A reason even Kirie didn’t know.
An aura that appeared without my knowledge.
A power that can take you to the path of the sword if you learn how to use it. But we still don’t know how it manifests itself, how to release it again, and how to control it. A power of which we are yet completely unaware. A clumsy auror who has not yet mastered the path of the sword.
There is no way to block Kyrie’s aura without extending the same aura. But now, if you use Auror, Kirie will get hurt. You will be seriously injured.
What should I do?
A moment passed as countless thoughts passed. After thinking about it, Shiona made a decision and let go of her sword. An aura surrounded his entire body. Protect your body.
Teilan, who had visited the training center with Hina, saw Siona. I have seen all of the current situation. And he moved his body instead of Siona.
– ...... Tuk.
Teilan kicked his foot.
While no one felt it, Teilan’s sword blocked Kyrie’s path.
– Quaaaaaaaa!
A loud noise like an explosion sounds.
Kyrie’s sword was blocked.
Even before the shock goes away. Before everyone could even accept what had just happened. Before I even thought about the light that shimmered at the tip of Kirie’s sword as she attacked Siona.
– Taaagh!
Blue and silver stars fell from the sky.
He held up Kirie, who was pushed back by the force of the force thrown back from being blocked by Tailan’s sword. The guy who grinned and said that he was right in saving me without being late this time, looked around at Kirie with a cautious hand.
Then I saw it.
Long hair that is still bluish-silver.
Kirie’s face was filled with embarrassment, not surprise. The eyes of countless crazy people who started muttering, holding their breath, and looking at themselves. His own hand, full of calluses and scars, that was touching Kirie.
The surprised expression of Teylan, who almost showed the example of a warlord for a moment.
“Hmm...”
Calian, who had not fully grasped the situation, looked down at his wrist.
“...... hmm.”
I definitely took off the bracelet.
Why didn’t it change? Why?
Then, a little later, I realized what the problem was. It was impossible to notice that the bracelet that was supposed to be there was disappearing and the bracelet that was not supposed to be there was revealing its presence.
Gently.
An unfamiliar face smiled brightly at the countless eyes focused on it.
“So, this is me.”
what am i
What should I say?
As you all know, Brother Chase once had long hair, and it looked so cool, so would you believe me if I told him that he had changed like that? But what do you say when you ask why you look like that?
No, before that. Should I tell you first that I am Kalyan? I think everyone knows this, but shouldn’t we still say it?
My lying brain started trying to think of lies as quickly as possible, but it didn’t really work. So, it’s too late to regret that I should have lived my life by telling lies.
ah.
Should I just pretend to be really sick and pass out?
– Jump and jump.
Someone walked towards Kalian, who was sinking deeply into regret, self-blame, and self-destruction.
“......My brother.”
The person who walked quickly to the training center spoke in a low voice.
– Flap!
And a black robe was placed over her long blue-silver hair.
“You must have been in a hurry. You left your outer clothes behind.”
A relaxed voice came from out of my darkened field of vision.
Kalian burst out laughing when he heard that.
Rolling around.
Peas have arrived.
To rescue my younger brother.
