Chapter 484

Chapter 85. It must have been around the time that I decided to raise a puppy

(5 years old) .

“It’s a villa. This is a wheat field. Aila.”

“That’s why I said not yet.”

“I didn’t know it was a notice to go out.”

“It was frustrating to stay inside. But how did you find out?”

“I remembered.”

“Is there a secret passageway exit?”

“No. I was trying to create a secret passage in the villa.”

I didn’t think about it exactly.

Because my life was too short to look at every single thing. Because I’ve already opened up too many memories. So I just thought about it for a moment.

If I remember every little detail in detail, one day in the distant future, when white hairs start to grow between the black hairs, I don’t think there will be any new pleasant things left, so I only glanced at it briefly and closed it again.

‘You know, Jan.’

‘yes. Prince. Please speak.’

So I couldn’t remember when we had this conversation. Instead of looking at mysterious things that change every time in a kaleidoscope, I dream of a red star that will always shine in the same place, and I think it was long before I got scared by Yan’s worries and got angry at him for not interfering.

A young day where I ‘just acted young’ because it was okay to just be young. One day, I stroked a large silver dog, which was obviously warm, with my fingertips and said that I would like to raise a dog too. I just guessed that it might have happened around that time.

‘Me later. later.’

‘Yes, my prince.’

‘I’m going to build a house in a place that is not blocked by anything.’

Of course, if I asked Yan, I wouldn’t have to search through his memories, but I would never have to ask him about what happened that day.

‘Do you want to build a house?’

‘huh. It has to be a house where it’s okay to raise a dog. ‘Because you can’t grow it at Chermil Palace.’

‘Are you talking about the dog you saw in the book?’

‘huh. ‘I’m going to build a house and live in a place where I can raise a dog like that.’

‘Are you living instead of just resting for a while?’

‘huh. Brother Randel or Brother Planz will be in the palace. So I have to build a new house.’

I didn’t say that because I didn’t know.

I was told that because he was the son of a concubine, he would be the first to be kicked out. Nowadays, Jan would have blocked the sound by covering his ears with his hands, but no one could do that until then. So, I somehow heard those many words.

That’s why I didn’t know. I already knew that if I was kicked out like that, I would either go to the tower or stand in the square.

‘...Then we should build a house with a large lawn instead of a lake.’

‘Do dogs like running around more than swimming?’

‘Yes, my prince. ‘My dog is like that.’

‘miss you. ‘Your puppy.’

‘Later, prince. You will be able to see it when it is time for the coming of age ceremony.’

Jan also knew that he was not saying this out of ignorance.

I pretended not to know and adjusted the rhythm to the words that were said.

‘But are you going to only have a lawn at home? ‘Have you thought of anything else?’

‘no. There’s one more thing. ‘We’ll also make a secret passage.’

‘A secret passage... do you mean?’

‘huh. It’s also in Chermil Palace. I’m making it at my house too. I read in a book that when going on a long trip, people always go through a secret passage. So I will make it too.’

I knew that if I never went to the tower or the square, and if I had to live far away again, I would have to live in a place with a secret passage, but I just said it as if I was dreaming.

There was always a secret passage at the starting point from which the heroes in the story went on their adventures. I was always excited to see them run away from there and start a long, long journey. So, I will definitely make a secret passage. I said such a strange story.

Jan must have remembered that.

There was no way I could forget it.

Even though it was a villa rather than a home where he would spend the rest of his life, he was good at using swords and even used magic, so he could live without dark passages to sustain his life. However, Jan would have remembered to create a secret passage. That’s what I thought.

So I thought of a villa.

“How did you know I was coming out?”

“As I was coming, I saw a bunch of Zeon guys huddled together in a remote wheat field. What reason do they have? They must be waiting for someone to escape through the secret passage. That’s why I came.”

What Zeon’s guys are waiting for will definitely be those who run away from the villa. It reminded me of a villa, not a permanent castle.

I turned towards the villa.

Thanks to you, it’s not too late.

“Ah... me again.”

Aila made a slightly exaggerated face of disappointment.

A drowsy, low voice continues.

“I thought the prince found my location like a ghost.”

“Are you excited if that happens?”

“I’m excited. I hope so.”

“It’s a shame. It’s not.”

Calian laughed lightly and opened his mouth again a moment later.

“No. Rather than saying it’s a waste... I think it’s unfair.”

“What?”

– Jeopuk.

Instead of an answer, I heard footsteps.

The wizards who came out of the secret passage and Zeon’s men rushed at the swordsman who followed them. Calian, who appeared behind them without a sound and took down six people in an instant, took a step forward.

– Jump and jump.

From behind Zeon, he crossed the bodies of those who had just died and the remaining members of Zeon’s crew, and slowly approached the place where Aela and the Balkan wizards were.

“I said I was excited, but I ended up falling behind.”

Continuing the calm conversation that was being exchanged between the enemies who still remained.

“You have no intention of defeating me anyway, prince.”

“That doesn’t mean it’s not unfair.”

“Even though it’s unfair, there’s nothing I can do.”

Blue-silver hair flutters in the wind.

“Next time, then. Are you excited if I find out it’s true that I found it like a ghost?”

“Next time, try that. You never know, you might get excited.”

– Ugh!

At the end of a carefree conversation that will make those who listen to it flutter, flutter, and turn away, a red light appears again. Real Aurors, whose depth is different from those dealt with in Zeon, illuminate the land of dawn.

– Slut!

A death sentence cuts through the air.

The exit of the secret passage was discovered while searching the villa to raise harpies and was useful for moving harpies to the villa without being noticed by people. The lives of the Zeons who were guarding the place and waiting for the trap to be hunted are lost one by one.

“I guess so. You never know. I might be excited.”

Light purple eyes, stained red by my aura, finally move. The eyes, which seemed to be more persuasive no matter what was forged, finally turned away from Aela. After examining the Balkan wizards one by one, I returned to Zeon.

– Card-duck ka-gak!

– Kwasik!

A creepy sound colors the green wheat fields.

-...... Exciting!

Is it nervousness, fear, or excitement?

Pretending not to know the reason, my heart stops beating.

The vain bastards who didn’t even bring warriors from the great desert who were said to be good with swords were all killed. Everything disappeared without me being able to move a single step, as I was suffocated by the death and fear boiling inside me.

– Ugh... cum!

– Boom! Coo!

Even if it’s unfair, there’s nothing you can do about it.

I aimed for the greedy beast that had no intention of giving up anything in my arms.

So Siona took only the bell and put it in her pocket and looked around. And when I bent down to pick up the one that looked good among the swords lying around.

“Don’t pick up strange things and use this.”

A low, unfamiliar voice reached Siona’s ears.

The handle of a pure white sword caught Siona’s eyes.

“I’m not giving it, I’m lending it. It’s so expensive that I can’t give it as I want.”

It’s a sword that needs to be used well and returned to Secretia at some point in the future.

Siona, who could not hear the hidden words but understood the meaning of ‘lend’, stood up.

Calian, who looked similar to the day he stopped Kyrie in the training hall of Wilhelm Pavilion, holding a familiar sword that seemed to burn red in his hand, was grinning.

“There you are, prince.”

“I came. I did.”

Siona took the pure white sword held out by Calian and took a long breath.

“Aila and the wizards went to the next town. I stopped by here because it was more urgent, but it was a good idea to come.”

Kalyan has arrived.

That means.

– Ugh!

It means that the aurors have returned.

“Let’s catch it first, Siona. Everything.”

“Sure.”

Siona, with a smile similar to the one Calian had just made on her face, lunged at the remaining guys.

– Ugh, wow!

A bright blue aura that would engrave heartbreaking memories into those guys’ eyes was attached to a pure white sword.

* * *

I saw the sun rise on the sea of Secretia.

However, the sunrise was not visible from the sea in the elf city because it was obscured by the forest. Instead, the setting moon was clearly visible.

I just kept watching it.

Kirie, as well as Plantz and Randel, had no intention of going inside and sleeping, so the three of them sat side by side and watched the moon set and the day dawn.

“Are you worried this time too?”

Randel, who had not said a single word since he said he liked the sound, spoke like this.

Plantz still had Jan’s bracelet.

Kalian, of course, knew that fact. However, no special words were exchanged with each other. Aren’t we close enough to chat even though there’s nothing special going on?

“yes.”

Anyway, if anything happens, I’ll contact you. Plantz, who was thinking like this, gave a short answer. Although it wasn’t as bad as the day he disappeared from Naerangsha Street, he was still worried. But there is a difference.

“I know it’s not dangerous.”

I wasn’t worried about life or death like I did back then.

I knew very well that my younger brother, who looked more like a snarl than a snarl, would lead all of Zeon’s bastards to the Senyu River with a face that did not tell me whether he was hungry for food or blood. Therefore, Plantz was worried not only about his brother’s life but also about his hungry stomach.

I wonder if my younger brother, who set off with his hungry stomach, is still hungry.

“Are you worried even though you know it’s not dangerous?”

“do.”

As I say this, it feels familiar.

When Calian, who dragged him out of the palace, taught him one by one without missing even the smallest detail, Plantz also asked about insignificant things, just like Randel now.

These are things that everyone outside the royal palace learns long ago.

“Because he’s my brother.”

“Yes. Because he is my older brother.”

“okay.”

A brief conversation takes place and then silence returns.

Kirie, who had been closing her eyes for a while, did not participate in the conversation between the two. If you see him doing that every chance he gets, he’s probably thinking about Aurors.

So don’t disturb me.

As I was silent about this thought, I heard Randel’s voice again.

“They say the mother tree of the elves shows memories. Is that true?”

“you’re right.”

“Have you seen it before?”

“I saw it for a moment.”

“How was it?”

“Why are you asking?”

“I don’t know what I would think if I saw it.”

“... It’s free.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, it is.”

Randel’s ‘past’ wasn’t very bright either.

Randel must have already known that.

In any case, the place where we are now was a city of elves where Danu’s power directly touches. It was a place where there would be nothing strange even if Danu, who had just heard what Randel said, was kind enough to say, ‘If you’re curious, I’ll show you.’

Therefore, when Plantz opened his mouth to say that we should continue that story later after we leave here.

– Paaaa!

A dazzling light that was not welcome at all obscured my eyes.

Because the light was so excessive, Randel closed his eyes without realizing it. Instead, Kirie opened her eyes. And then he stretched out his arm to pull Plantz, who was sitting right next to him.

However, in the end, I was unable to catch anything and ended up wasting my hands in vain. Although it wasn’t as bad as that of the king, Kirie’s hand, which had many scars on it, was reflected in her light green eyes as she held onto the air.

‘If not Kyrie, then me.’

So, is it Kirie or Plantz himself who is now bathed in this light? I was considering it for a moment

– you said you could find a way to change the ending.

I heard a voice.

ah.

I thought that tree had brought me again.

Only then did Plantz feel confident and let out a short sigh. He spoke calmly, as if there was nothing to be surprised about because he had gotten used to it after being dragged around so many times.

“If you do everything you can, you will find it. Why?”

I repeated what I said when I met Danu here.

– It was different.

“What do you mean we did differently?”

– I thought differently.

“...You changed your mind.”

– let me know. tell me how. I will help.

Plantz frowned.

Then he nodded and answered.

“okay.”

Isn’t that what you’re saying is that you will help anyway?

That in itself wasn’t going to cause any harm.

“Okay, I want to go out first.”

– I would be happy to do so.

Then Danu.

like this.

– After you showed me the way.

I have been told that I am a greedy beast who has no intention of giving up anything in my arms.

One of Planz’s lips curled up.
