Chapter 55: It’s Very Nice To et You
Then, Allan pulled out yet another thing from his pocket. It was the docunts for the selection of a location site for the magic school, its costs for construction, initial operating cost, appointnt fee for the professors, and so on. It simply ant that he needed paynt for all of these.
Calian read through all the docunts carefully and nodded.
“He said that he is going to rely on you for the first paynts, prince. Is that not a bit too much?” as the paynt was an exorbitant amount, Allan asked with worry in his voice.
“The cost is nothing to worry about. Baron Pollun is planning to run the magic school personally without relying on the finances of the royal family. Only then I will be able to involve myself in it, after all. Even though it may not be as much as what you have, teacher, but I should at least have sothing for myself as well, don’t you think?”
Allan nodded after understanding what Calian ant by that, agreeing to what he was saying. Soon afterward, Calian stood up and brought out a bundle of checks from the safe and handed it to Allan.
“Please give it to him in my stead.”
“It’s a large amount of money. Are you sure you can just give it to the baron like this?”
He was asking whether he needed to keep an eye on Baron Pollun to make sure that he uses the money for its proper use.
Calian leisurely nodded his head. “Yes. You can leave it to him.”
Even though it was a large sum of money, to lfir, he was used to dealing with this much. On top of that, Calian knew that he’s not soone that would throw away trust just for that amount of money.
“But because Baron Pollun is just a rchant, he doesn’t know anything about magic. I’m sure he is probably going to be repeatedly seeking advice from the union or from you directly, so please help him out while I’m gone.”
“You need not worry about that.”
Afterwards, Calian asked Allan a number of questions about magic schools rather than continuing his magic lessons. He requested for Allan to also inform lfir about things that would help him out.
After conversing like that for a while, they heard a knock from the outside.
It was Yan.
“Your highness, I apologize but you have the next appointnt coming up.”
It ant that Yan was asking them to finish the conversation for now.
Advertisent
After hearing that, Allan stood up from his seat and started to head out.
“I will co back in the afternoon,” said Allan.
It ant that he was going to co back to give him magic lessons. Calian replied to Allan after hearing that.
“The appointnt’s about having to greet the knights of Siegfrieds for a mont. It won’t take too long, so unless you have other appointnts to attend to, why not stay here and talk with for today?”
Calian was asking Allan to just do away with the lessons and chat all day. As Calian was leaving to go et the Sispanians tomorrow, Allan won’t be able to see Calian again for a while. Therefore, Allan laughed and agreed to his suggestion.
In front of the main gates of Chermil Palace were twenty knights wearing black armor lining up and waiting for Calian. Of course, these were handpicked knights chosen by Slayman and ca to the Chermil Palace to greet Calian before heading off.
Kyrie, who was already at the location ahead of Calian, was staring at the knights with eagerness to prove he was better than them. As Kyrie was soone that also specialized in swords, he was feeling eager to see and judge the difference between them and himself. Of course, the knights of Siegfried also felt that way towards Kyrie as well.
As the Duke’s knights and the prince’s bodyguard silently battled each other in their mind, Calian, Allan, and Yan ca outside of the palace.
Calian and Allan walked side by side and the servant Yan followed a few steps behind quietly
. Seeing Yan back there, the knights all gripped their fist even harder. Yan didn’t know anything about that, of course, and simply smiled while giving them a greeting through his eyes.
As it was only the knight Yuran Lauchell who led the group that t Calian back at yesterday’s luncheon, Calian was eting the rest of the knights for the first ti.
Because of that, Calian studied the faces of all the knights carefully individually.
‘Hmmm.’
Soon, a peculiar smile ca onto his lips.
He heard about the Siegfried Knights and now he was able to see how strong they were to hold their dignity. It was enough for Calian to realize how much effort Slayman put into picking the best of the best. Whether it was their size or spirit, it made Kyrie, who stood in front of them, look like a child.
But of course, that wasn’t the only reason Calian was making that face.
‘Huh, lookie here.’
The knights that ca to guard the prince were eyeing him with completely different intentions than soone who ca to protect.
Putting those eyes into words, it sounded like, ‘Are you the bastard who’s treating our young nobleman like a common servant?’
That would be the perfect explanation.
Standing next to Calian, Allan saw their feelings as well and smiled, as if finding this was all very interesting to him. Allan actually wished these knights would get a chance to see the demonstration of the prince’s sword techniques.
Of course, since he couldn’t see into the future, they might possibly be able to see it during the proceedings of Roselita as well. He was curious about how their expression would change once they saw it.
Since Kyrie would be able to see the prince’s demonstration of sword techniques, he couldn’t completely hide away his giddiness.
anwhile, Yan who wasn’t able to understand the situation at all tilted his head and asked. “Is there sothing bothering you, Your Highness?”
Calian made a broad smile.
Instead of saying that he felt uncomfortable since the knights would pound him into the ground as soon as they left Kailis, Calian spoke to the knights while staring at them back directly into their eyes.
“Yan, go bring sothing to drink.”
Hearing Calian say that, a huge amount of jealousy emanating from the knights was felt by Calian.
As the people he would be traveling with would be treating him this way the whole ti, he felt that he won’t have any ti to worry about Franz.
Allan, who was watching this staring contest and finding much joy from it, said, “What a sha that I am not able to accompany you for this journey.”
Calian, who was staring at each and every one of the knights and declaring war upon them all, finally opened his mouth and spoke to them.
“Well then, I hope you can all help safely arrive there.”
Yet again, a deep smile ca to his face, practically becoming a habit.
