Chapter 463

Chapter 82. As it turned out, I heard a gentle (2)

voice.

– Where are you?

I didn’t know when it would happen, so the communication bracelet I borrowed from Jan started to light up. It was a faint light that was hidden under the sleeves of a dark purple shirt and not visible from the outside.

Plantz, who could not see the light but heard the voice, gave the answer.

– you.

– It happened.

-......Conference hall.

– yes.

– when.

– I heard you were there a little while ago and then left. Why do you have to ask? It just happened a while ago.

– okay.

– I was only planning to sleep for one day, but three days have passed.

– My brother doesn’t keep his promises.

– May I apologize?

– what.

– Breaking a promise.

– it’s okay.

– sorry.

– That’s it.

– Because I’m worried.

As always, we had a very dry conversation.

Not much time passed after that. As soon as I opened my eyes, my younger brother came to the conference room and caused a commotion.

In fact, there were many times when Planz threw something. But I never hit anything. I’ve never been pushed. Of course, there has never been a time when the door to the conference room made such a noise that I couldn’t tell if it had been pushed or kicked.

– ...You are opening a new horizon for my fame. My brother.

Planz’s dissatisfied red eyes gave off a strange glow. It was a similar sentiment as when I saw Lucy bringing in a huge bee she had hunted at the lakeside and releasing it in her room, or Anne putting down a chicken that had only eaten one bite.

It’s good that my younger brother, who had been sleeping all day and night and thought he was really going to die this time, made a grand reappearance by slamming open the door of the conference room and entering, but it’s embarrassing to welcome this situation where the thing he’s covering up right now is my face. The fact that I was reluctant meant that I felt willing.

I guess it’s hard to just look at what my little brother, that bastard, is doing with my face in a positive light, as I am just happy to see a guy who was sleeping without knowing anything about the world until he came to the conference room and suddenly wakes up and comes dressed neatly. I said I would take responsibility for my brother’s resentment on my own, but I have been diligently creating things for him to be criticized for with my own hands.

“I heard they were whispering about my younger brother... Even though my younger brother asked you about the rumor, I didn’t think you would really believe it. I’m disappointed.”

“Sir. We’re not believing a rumor. We’re not saying we’re going to reveal the matter even if possible. We’re just saying, “We’re

going to cover it up.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Then doesn’t that mean you believed that nonsense? Stupidly.”

Plantz quietly took a deep breath.

Randel, who was sitting next to him and watching what Calian was doing, opened his mouth to Plantz.

“I guess that will ease your worries. You seem to have regained your health.”

“...... yes.”

“It seems like we’ve regained too much.”

“...... yes.”

Plantz, who was irritated by the fact that he was a resident of the upper room, was the one who understood my current mood well and answered without even turning his head towards Randel.

In the meantime, the barking sound that seemed to fill in what was left unfinished while he was sleeping rang again in Plantz’s head.

– Have you ever been this noisy?

– doesn’t exist.

– ah. this.

Calian, who didn’t really like the idea of Plantz being treated like an asshole, but seemed to have no hesitation in using Plantz’s external publicity persona, walked in hurriedly.

The walk is a little different from Kalyan’s, which is always perfectly straight without any error. A step that becomes completely straight only when it is soaked, but is usually slightly wider in front. I walked across the conference hall, imitating Plantz’s gait.

– I misunderstood. I thought you would have done at least this much.

– Because he wasn’t as great a bastard as that king.

– ah. Actually, I never kicked in the door in front of nobles.

ah. You said so.

You didn’t push the door with your hand, you kicked it.

-...... I can’t believe I didn’t do it. Surprisingly.

– There was a time when nobles praised my father in front of Brother Chase by saying, ‘What did the King do in times like this?’ so he broke the pillars of the special banquet hall. I don’t use Auror.

ah. You said so.

Even though you didn’t kick in the door, you did break a pillar. I don’t even use aurors.

– I thought you would have tried this at least before throwing knives without hesitation during meals.

Calian paused for a moment and said these words. Because of this, Plantz once again made a shocked face.

okay. There was a time when I threw a sharp knife. But that’s it.

– Then why did you throw it at Jan?

– If I had thrown it at you, I would have pretended I hit it by accident.

– Did you throw it to Jan so that I could catch it properly so I couldn’t pretend it was a coincidence? I want to check if the contents of my brother and sister have changed.

– okay.

– I hope I don’t catch it.

-You got it.

– What if I didn’t catch it?

– Are you starting a fight as soon as you open your eyes? Or are you scolding me?

– I was suddenly curious.

– what.

– How did you feel at that time?

When I knew it was already too late to keep it.

– suddenly. why.

– Just suddenly. Just suddenly.

-......Speak informally.

-Suddenly I got worried.

widely!

Plantz put down his water cup with a little loud noise and turned his head. I looked into Calian’s light green eyes that made me feel like I was looking into a mirror.

– You keep speaking short.

– I think you felt the same way as I did when I lost Aila.

– Kalyan.

I couldn’t ask Calian, who was lying down, how to accept Freyr’s actions that Arsene had told me about, so I thought to myself. Even so, I couldn’t come up with an answer, so I ended up getting up. Then, Randel came out of the room of the crown prince, who was lying injured. After heading to the room, he told the story.

Landel, who heard everything Plantz said, put down his teacup.

A quiet voice turned to Plantz.

“They say elves can’t tell lies.”

“That’s right.”

“It’s an elf named Freyr . If the elf hid his confusion in front of the youngest, wouldn’t I have been able to recognize it?” ”

No.”

“If that means that the elf didn’t know what the youngest was hiding until he treated the youngest alone.” “I

think so . “I

found out the truth before I met Vice Commander Hertz.”

“Yes.”

“I heard about the youngest’s secret within a day and immediately believed it and was confused. That would be the story.”

Plantz remained silent.

This was because he wondered whether someone who had never seen Calian could so easily believe that Calian’s soul had changed. ”

Just pretend to be smart. “Did you come to me because you didn’t know the answer?”

“You acted like I was on top of my own head, pretending to be smart.” “

I would believe it if Danu said it.”

Instead of continuing the argument, Randel said this.

“What the Mother of Elves said. “Is

there something else?”

Yes, it was just one possibility. If Danu had told him what Calian had hidden, Freyr would have no choice but to believe it.

But Danu.

“Danu.”

“The youngest said. Didn’t you? “Who do the nobles here resemble?”

said Randel, who was sitting quietly watching Plantz.

Whether they were abandoned or ignored, they are ultimately Danu’s children who cannot escape. Didn’t Calian say that? He

remembered those words . Plantz frowned.

“I will believe what Danu says. But Danu clearly seemed to care about Kalyan. You know that arbitrarily revealing Calian’s identity won’t help him.”

“Did you care about it or did you need it?”

Plantz didn’t answer.

Landel, who put down the teacup with a click, spoke softly. He said,

“If a dog does not recognize its owner and shows its teeth, it will be put on a leash and locked up. But. If a dog that I thought would treat me as its owner shows its teeth only to me and wags its tail to people other than me, what can I do to teach such a dog who his owner is?” Plantz’s eyes narrowed. Randel continued. “Put on a

leash

. Lock them up... and they’ll do the same thing. However, if you force it like that, wouldn’t the people following the dog ask questions? Why do you treat a gentle dog like that? In that case, what will the dog owner do?”

The wind blew.

Plantz said,

“I’ll show you the spot where the bite occurred.”

“Yes. I’ll show you where the bite occurred. This dog is not what you think. My nature is not as gentle as I thought. That’s what they would say. Then, they will obediently agree, and the owner will finally get his hands on the dog that he thought was his.”

Danu tried to get his hands on Kalyan.

Then, he rebelled against Danu. Kalyan.

His foot in the middle. He stopped, but was clearly trying to turn to Danu. He said he would kill all the elves. Calian said this in the forest, where Danu could not have seen it. So Danu informed Freyr of the truth. It was a warning. It continued to go astray like

that

. If so, I would rather let everyone know your identity and isolate you.

“... Because I must protect my cause. First, after inspecting all the territories...”

Planz took a long breath and opened his mouth.

Then, he faced the abyss of Randel and continued.

“Brother, do you want to go see the sea?”

The elf said . The city.

Blue eyes that seemed to capture the deep sea of that place.

There was a light with life in those eyes.

“It won’t be bad.”

The wind blew and an answer was heard.

* * *

There.

Calian took a step forward. –

I guess that’s why Danu hates you. He’s already holding on to the leash that he’s never let go of.

– My brother barks so much. Shouldn’t he be holding on to it well? He looked at me for a

moment as if thinking about something in front of the nobles. Calian, who had caught the wind, sent a message again:

– Actually, there are a lot of people who know my secret.

– I know.

– But most of them don’t really care who I am. Not only have they never met me before, but they don’t care who the person who will ascend to the throne is. Aren’t they people I won’t use? Even if you and Brother Randel are an exception.

– Yes.

– Then Freyr. The nobles here. Don’t they care too? Even if Danu made them believe what my secret was, I wouldn’t care. Could it be?

– It shouldn’t have been.

– Right. Because they were the people who wanted me to be my mother’s son. Still, they say let’s keep quiet. I don’t know what Freyr thinks of it, but at least that’s how they feel. Plantz didn’t answer. He cherished me so

much

. I lost ‘Kalian’ without my help... If I had known that fact, I should have been sad, resented the person I am now, kicked him out, or tried to reveal the truth, but I don’t. Why is that? – Doesn’t matter

. ...... I don’t have one.

– Yes. I guess that’s what it is.

– Yes.

– When I said not to see me as your mother’s son, I didn’t mean that you shouldn’t care who I am. It’s bitter.

One corner of Kalian’s mouth twitches. I was wrong.

“It wasn’t Whitlin who protected my brother. It wasn’t your yearning. It wasn’t the estate profits and gifts you guys were sending me.”

He said again the words that would never be uttered from this current appearance and face.

“It was me.”

Calian looked at Navia with his light green eyes hardened. Here. He looked around at the nobles sitting on the table and continued,

“Please don’t criticize me as an incompetent person who doesn’t even recognize Brother Randel and His Highness. “If you ever show any doubt about my brother again... Whitlin will have a new name.”

Whatever Danu thought,

Calian delivered a warning to the elves.
