Chapter 415

Chapter 74. The other end (2)

A little while before a cat found its way into Marquis Gray Briesen’s bedroom.

A paste made of basil and mushrooms was spread on lean beef, then wrapped in pastry dough and baked, before being placed in front of the food. When I cut it open, juicy juice flowed out from the layers of pastry that made me feel full just by looking at it.

Kalyan put on a happy face as he cut the meat, paste, and pastry into one bite. This is because the fragrant and light taste was extremely satisfying.

“It feels like it’s been a while since I ate it. It’s delicious.”

After a while, Kalian, who had finished eating the food in front of him, spoke with a smile on his face. Grilled bacon with tomatoes was placed on a clean plate handed to me by an attendant nearby.

Dmirea, who had quenched her thirst with dark wine, looked at Calian and answered.

“Yes. It tastes very good.”

“I guess you said you would just leave because you liked it so much?”

Calian laughed brightly at Plantz’s words that followed.

“Aren’t you a person who is always in a hurry?”

When I asked him to close Briseen together, his younger brother answered that he would get rid of Briseen, and Plantz caught him as he stood up on the spot and tried to run out.

Then I reminded him that I had dinner plans with Dmirea and that I had just told you to close Brisen ‘together’. He also kindly explained that when he said we should close together, he didn’t mean that if you destroy everything on your own, I’ll applaud you from behind.

After that, they had just come to Rubia Pavilion while talking about how to close Brisen together. I wanted to send my younger brother, who said it would be unfair for him to go out of the palace without eating, to eat some food.

“Are you trying to forget your promise again?”

“No, Demirea. I was going to quickly come back and eat. I don’t think I’ll forget the promise I made to my fiancé.”

“You’ve forgotten a lot.”

“No. It’s not that I forgot, it’s that I couldn’t keep it.”

“Is it different?”

“It’s different. It’s a lot different.”

Demirea shook her head and opened her mouth to say something.

– Clap!

– Sigh!

But at that time, a loud sound that was difficult to hear at a dinner table was heard from next to Demirea. I was startled and turned my head to see that the juice glass hanging on Lyrie’s ample sleeves had fallen over as she stretched out her arms.

To be exact, the cup should have stopped in midair on the table. Because the gentle wind that filled the space between the cup and the table was holding the cup up.

“Ah...”

Lirie, with a surprised face, couldn’t find anything to say and looked embarrassed.

Calian smiled slightly, although he was unable to stop the drink in the glass from spilling, but was able to hold it so it wouldn’t break. And I quickly wiped off the juice stains that had gotten on Lirie’s yellow dress.

“are you okay.”

“...Your Majesty.”

After that, it was Plantz’s job to sense what Lyrie was going to say and tell her that she didn’t have to apologize, and it was Demirea who made sure she didn’t get too nervous about the difficult meal.

Once while looking at Plants, once when looking at Dmirea, and again when looking at Calian. Riri quickly looked around and said hello.

That was the end of the small dinner. Yogurt with fig jam and light black tea were placed on the cleanly cleared table.

After the servants who brought the dessert left the restaurant, Lirie cautiously opened her mouth.

“Um...”

Riri, who hesitated for a while, looked at Demirea. Planz, who was watching this, put down the tea he had taken a sip of and said.

“I’m thinking of going to see Lucy. Riri.”

“I want to go with you too.”

Nod.

Lirie quickly got up at the expression of permission and went to Plantz’s side. And after showing respect to Calian, he followed Plantz and went out.

– Sweet.

I heard the door closing.

Kalian, who was stirring the fig jam on top of the yogurt without even touching the tea, made a loud noise.

“Am I really uncomfortable? I did all kinds of tricks, held a juice glass for me and cleaned my clothes.”

“It seems to me that the prince is uncomfortable.”

“Ah... I guess so. I guess Riri felt that and left the place.”

I feel reluctant.

It’s not that I don’t like it, but it feels like something heavy is pressing on my heart. Calian couldn’t help but think of the child he thought of when he first saw Lyrie. I know that the child is not dead now and is living well somewhere in Secretia, but nevertheless, it is something that cannot be helped.

“... After some time, it will be okay.”

Demirea, who did not ask why she was reluctant to take care of the young child, nodded. And he spoke in a quiet voice.

“Liri has something to ask you. She probably feels embarrassed in the presence of me and the prince.”

“I’m not uncomfortable?”

“Yes. It’s not that I feel uncomfortable with the prince.”

Calian asked with a happy expression on his face.

“Are you trying to consult your brother about your concerns?”

“It might be similar.”

“It won’t help much.”

“The prince talks to you often, but you say it’s not helpful.”

“Ah... It’s not counseling, it’s just that. No matter what I say, you just listen quietly and carefully.”

“Wouldn’t that be helpful too? For Riri.”

Calian smiled slightly and nodded.

“That’s right.”

“Why don’t you drink tea?”

“Not so much now. I’ll drink it later.”

Demirea quietly put down her teacup and looked at Calian.

Then he looked at Calian’s hands and face and asked.

“You came back after getting hit. Are you fighting again?”

“Huh? I wasn’t hit, Demirea.”

“I’m telling you this because I feel like instead of welcoming you, you made me cry.”

“Wow... how did you know?”

“It’s noticeable.”

“Where?”

“Everywhere you look.”

He had noticed Calian’s calm face after a long time on the day he cried, and he seemed to have noticed this time as well. To know that I cried when I saw a pea with a carefree face that hadn’t changed in any way.

“As expected, my fiancé. There is no place that is not great.”

“Has something bad happened at Senyu House?”

“Rashid Briesen came.”

“Yes. I heard that.”

“I haven’t heard anything about it yet. I guess Rashid Brissen had some trouble with Silike. So I confronted my brother about it... and it blew up.”

“Is that why you even took out a knife?”

Calian looked at the bandage on his hand and laughed.

“Aren’t you really curious about the end of this kingdom?”

“You’re talking as if Khairis will walk on horseback when I take that position.” ”

What in the world can you guarantee? That’s how it looks to me.”

“As if you know everything, as if everything is made in your hands, whoever and whatever you want. It looks like things are going that way.”

“Ah... oh my. I thought I knew the prince well, but I guess I didn’t. On the contrary, I should say that it is an honor that the prince knows me so well.”

“Consider it as you wish. “It’s not my job to get involved.”

“Yes. I will take it as I wish. So, prince.”

“Just. If I had to mention one thing, it would be good if you learned more words from your mother and then come back.” ”

Learn how to speak. What does that mean?”

Randel looked straight at Rashid. Then he raised his finger and pointed to the fountain.

“That water is no different from you. Struggling to soar, you end up plummeting to the floor. No matter how special you think of yourself, you are just a drop of water that accidentally splashes a little higher, but you forget the obvious and act as if you will reach the sky. You are no different from a child who has not even learned to speak.” Rashid looked a little surprised

.

And He looked at Randel with a long smile.

“...Prince. Have you forgotten how dry and soft the foothold you are stepping on is?”

“How dry and harsh this royal palace in your memories is. You seem to have forgotten.”

The sound of small feet echoed again.

Randel completely turned his body and stood facing Rashid. With the hand that had been pointing to the fountain just a moment ago, he turned to Rashid and pointed to the floor.

“You need to learn how to talk from your mother again . If you don’t like it, repeat the same thing over and over again until you say the right thing... I’ll try that too. If you do that, will you realize your place?”

The voice continued without any emotion.

“It won’t be difficult for me. I guess it’s different for you.”

The green eyes that followed the deep blue eyes narrowed.

He smiled like a habit.

“Oh my. Did my mother tell that story to the prince?”

“Rashid Arieli.”

“... Yes. “Prince.”

“Yes. I used to use that last name.”

“It’s because my mother cherishes that last name so much.”

“If you cherish it so much, why don’t you try wearing that humble crown yourself?” ”

Wouldn’t it be fun then? What I need is not the crown of a small country where even the fountains have to be blocked just because it doesn’t rain or snow. That’s not it. A marionette who will wear that crown and climb on a small throne holding an insignificant jewel in her hand.

Rashid,

who finished speaking

in a whisper, smiled. Randel, who nodded silently, asked a question.

“Did you think that role was right for me? ”

“That’s right, prince.”

Tensil’s crown.

Calian also suggested the same thing.

I can’t give Kairis’ crown because it’s mine, and I don’t want to send it to the tower, and it’s too shabby to give a small estate where roses can grow well, so I’m handing it to him instead. That’s the kind of place. He told me to climb up.

Two people are given the same seat, but one place smells bad and the other place doesn’t smell anything. It’s funny. Randel closed his eyes for a moment and opened them. At least in that

place

. I thought to myself that if I sit down, I will be able to see Planz’s head bowed.

“The reason I recommend this is because I want to be considerate of the prince. So, please do not treat me lightly when I meet the prince and talk to him. Then one day, my disappointment overflowed, and just in case...”

Rashid’s finger pointed at Randel.

It was pointed at the heart that must have been inside Randel’s chest.

“Do you dare to try to entangle the prince? I’m scared.”

“I haven’t felt at peace ever since spring returned. It’s so nice to hear your words like this.”

A small smile appeared on Randel’s lips.

“If you learn to speak again, I’ll think about it then. “About that crown.”

Randel answered in a calm voice and quietly turned around. Then

he walked

back and forth again towards Chermil Palace.

The smile could not be erased from Rashid’s face as he looked at Randel’s back as he walked away. Randel To get into the carriage, to have his servant close the carriage door and to start the carriage, so that the carriage, moving at a slow pace, would enter the corridors of the Chermil Palace and disappear. After that, he turned his head and looked at the fountain. ‘That water is no different from

you

. ‘Isn’t it?’

He kept repeating Randel’s words that he had just heard, and stayed still as if he were nailed to one spot until the sun had set, the moon rose, and the stars were shining. – That’s right. Someone approached Rashid. “Baron Briesen

is

right

. ”

The two knights were Balkan knights guarding the palace.

Realizing that they had come to get rid of the Baron, who had been standing in the garden all night without leaving the palace, Rashid said,

“I wasted so much time admiring the beauty of this place. I didn’t even know it was flowing. I’ll be leaving now.”

“Yes, thank you.”

The drivers gave a simple greeting. But they did not leave. They were probably trying to stay by Rashid’s side until he left.

Rashid nodded and took a step forward .

There was no need to do this . There was no reason to stay there any longer, and it wouldn’t do any good to cause unnecessary misunderstandings. But,

“Leave it alone. “I have a moment to share with the Baron.”

A voice was heard that the knights and even Rashid had not expected. Those who turned their heads to see who the voice was, quickly showed their example.

Black hair and red eyes.

A little different from what they had seen during the day. The prince was wearing a black jacket with endless red embroidery.

Calian was standing there.

“Yes, prince. Then, let’s talk.”

After saying this, the knights left the place.

Kalyan, who had separated them with a light response, turned his head towards Rashid. He made an expression that he did not want to see his face again, and came to him sooner than expected. While saying this,

“I meet Prince Calian.”

Calian nodded and opened his mouth.

“I have something to worry about regarding the Baron and his father. That’s why I came to visit you in person... I hope I didn’t interrupt the Baron’s time.”

“Interrupting. Is that possible?”

“Yes. I’m glad you think so.”

“Yes, prince. “Please tell me. I will listen to anything.”

Rashid smiled softly.

At the same time,

without thinking of the fact that another ‘Kalyan’ wearing a black jacket full of white embroidery was sitting in front of Gray and smiling brightly. .
