Chapter 69. The cat (5)

was already making tea for the third time today.

Hina, who found this somehow enjoyable, served three cups of tea with a nice aroma and smiled.

– It’s a tea made from dried apricots and rose petals.

After hearing Hina’s explanation, Demirea turned her head to the person sitting next to her and said.

“Dried apricots...”

“Rose! Right?”

Are they treating Hina’s sign language like a candy quiz?

“Is this tea made from dried apricots and roses?”

Because it was difficult to stay by the patient’s side for a long time, Arianne, after saying goodbye to Calian, left the treatment room first. He had come to the healer’s office with Demirea, who was meeting Hina.

Then, he cut off the words of Demirea, who was interpreting Hina’s sign language, and spoke as if guessing the correct answer. Demirea smiled and nodded slightly.

“Oh, that’s a good thing. I was worried what would happen if I forgot everything while I wasn’t looking at it for a while.”

I was saying this because I had briefly learned sign language from Hina at Secretia, but I was not able to master it completely.

– I’ll tell you more while I’m here.

“Yes. This time, I will cook it completely before returning.”

If Hina’s smile contains the warmth of sunlight, Arianne’s smile probably contains the brightness of sunlight. Arianne, with a smile on her face without any shadows, took a sip of Hina’s tea. And as if he liked the scent, he immediately took another sip and opened his mouth.

“Is the elf who left here earlier Siona Hill?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Hina nodded and Demirea responded verbally.

Arianne, who was looking at them both with an ‘Aha’ expression, opened her mouth with a strange smile.

“Then, if you include Lord Castrin who came with me, all the sword masters are gathered here. There is no place on the continent that is safer than here.”

– That’s how it should be, but I guess it’s not. I don’t know how you get hurt so much every time.

“Are you talking about Prince Calian?”

– yes. As you may have seen, Duke Little, he came here again seriously injured. I don’t know when the day will come when I won’t have to worry about my gentle prince.

Because some difficult words were mixed, Arianne looked at Demirea. When Demirea explained the meaning of Hina’s words, Arianne shook her head and said,

“When I was healthy enough not to worry, I would at least tear down a wall.”

Hina opened her eyes wide.

Demirea slightly cleared her throat when she saw that, but Arianne, who only noticed Hina’s doubts, opened her mouth again.

“That’s right. People who are said to be seriously injured jump out of windows, but I wonder how many accidents happen when they are healthy.”

– Climb... through the window?

After seeing Hina’s words, Demirea let out a silent sigh.

I heard the people of Secretia are terrible.

Now I just wonder how the birds behave like that.

“The treatment room is on the second floor and it’s not that high, so you don’t have to worry too much.”

‘But still, he is my fiancé.’

No matter what, arms tend to bend inward.

“It appears that you were anxious because of heavy drinking. Something happened with Sir Brigitte a few days ago, so don’t blame me for being overly worried, Sir Verne.”

Demirea, who had been scolding Calian for a long time since morning, chose one of the excuses that the unfamiliar-looking Calian had been making and told it to Hina.

– Because they don’t know how to take care of themselves. I really don’t know how they move so casually.

At these words, Demirea looked down at the rose petals in the teacup and opened her mouth.

“That’s because he’s a timid person.”

I’m afraid I’ll be late again.

I’m afraid of losing it again.

‘It’s difficult to protect.’

I’m afraid I won’t be able to protect it again. Because I was scared.

“It’s not that you can’t take care of yourself because you don’t know how to take care of yourself. It’s that you’re still too scared to do that, so just let it go this time. It will get better as time goes by.”

“... They said they left it behind. Looking at it like this, I can understand.”

Click.

Arianne said to herself as she put down the teacup full of warm flavor.

‘......Arianne.’

‘huh.’

The day I first heard the secret about Kalyan. I remember what Chase said when he returned to Secretia and met Arianne.

‘I left something behind. I.’

‘Shall I find it for you?’

‘no. Because that shouldn’t happen. ‘I left it behind.’

“I met Norton Ramirez. Me too.”

“Oh, have you met him?”

“He told me where my brother is.”

Rather than saying he informed me, it was closer to something Plantz noticed, but anyway.

“Norton Ramirez. It is said that he picked up a person last winter. He happened to pick up a person who was dying and was just walking without knowing where he was, and took him home. He fed, clothed, and put him to sleep properly. When spring came. “At some point, they made him look like a human again... It is said that he suddenly disappeared one night and his body was found some time later.”

Plantz frowned slightly and nodded.

“After that incident, while I was cleaning up the room I gave to that person, I saw some unfamiliar and unfamiliar graffiti on the wall.”

“What graffiti?”

“Like graffiti in the room where a person who couldn’t see, hear, or speak lived. The word ‘white repair’ was written on it.”

It was a familiar name.

Last Lemain’s birthday anniversary. Wasn’t he Sejak, who led the group of birds that betrayed Chase? Because of this, wasn’t he the one who lost the ability to see, hear, and speak due to the poison that Chase gave him?

“Because he knew the name of the blue warbler, Aila. I guess he thought it might be Sejak. It is said that he burned down the house, hid his wife in a safe place, and came here. Just in case, the people who killed the white eagle had their hands on him. “I’m going to tell you a story in case you get angry.”

“...... “Yes.

” “But Baron Rashid Briesen told me something interesting. He killed someone who couldn’t see, hear, or speak.”

Plantz looked at Calian.

Calian’s eyes had finally landed on the half-peeled tangerine.

“I don’t know if it was the white eagle that he killed. If that’s true, wouldn’t we need to check why he went there? So I’m going to go.”

“Okay then. Brother Randel, why did you bother to call me here?”

“Do you know who Marquis Briesen’s wife was?”

“I know.”

“Because of that. I found out some information about Rashid Briesen in Eila’s episode... just... “I have something to ask Brother Randel.”

Calian only said this, meaning that he had no intention of telling me yet. If you asked him what he knew and what he would ask, he would probably give you an answer, but Plantz just nodded. .

Not because it’s related to Randel.

– Set an example.

It reminds me of Gray’s wife, whom I had met once.

It reminds me of Rashid, who was so young and so happy to shake the hand of his cousin whom he met for the first time.

– Your hand. The place you should be heading is not the prince’s hand. You have to kneel on the floor and bow your head. Both you and your father will eventually have to kneel on the floor and bow your head. So, child, don’t think it’s too early, hurry up. I wanted to set an example.

And then

I saw it.

– No... If it’s difficult to do because you haven’t learned it yet, it would be good for your mother to teach you how to do it first. Would you like to tell me what to do? Planz. Please answer me, my child.

I remembered Silike’s kind voice.

“... I could send your new subordinate to Whitlin.”

Calian probably guessed that too, so he didn’t open his mouth right away, so he didn’t bother speaking. I decided not to ask. Instead, I brought up the original conversation again.

“It will still take a while for Ayla to fully heal. It’s too far to send the head of the Wizards Association, and the other wizards in the Association...” ”

I think it would be dangerous. Are you going in person?”

“... Yes.”

“They said it would be dangerous. You say you’ll take me with you.”

“You went even though you knew it would be dangerous, right?”

Plantz kept his mouth shut without answering.

Calian, who glanced at the situation for a moment, let out a silent sigh.

“It could be dangerous . Knowing that, if my younger brother was out of the palace... that damn pea would be so worried. There will probably be a spot next to the artificial lake where no grass grows. The peas are standing up all the time.”

Calian muttered as if he were complaining and peeled off the last tangerine.

Before the frowning Planz could reply, Calian continued.

“You probably know how much work it takes to make those peas. You wouldn’t know. They say it keeps wilting and turning green in an instant, but even though it grows a little strangely, I think it’s better to be green than to be withered.”

Soon Kalian split the round tangerine in half.

A refreshing sound was heard.

“So there’s nothing we can do, right? . I’ll take it with me and save my brother so he doesn’t die.”

Calian, who handed the half to Plantz, looked

at Plantz. I don’t know if he thinks he’s smiling brightly, but it’s annoying when a big guy smiles like that.

So, get a mirror or something. I need to bring you some.

I need to tell you to look at my face and smile like that.

Thinking like that, Plantz took the tangerine and said quietly as a warning.

“Don’t bark again.”

“Yes.”

Calian smiled brightly again.

No matter what his face was . I understand that barking is the same.
