Chapter 21. On the other side of the abyss (3)
Early dawn on the last day of the festival, when Dmirea stood next to Calian.
The chirping of birds was unusually loud that day.
And Kalian had an unusually long dream that day.
I’ve never had a dream about when I was Bern, but Calian in my dream was Bern. Looking at the lavender eyes reflected in the mirror, she tied her long bluish-silver hair into one piece. Then, wearing light clothes, I went to Chase as usual.
Chase in the dream smiled at Verne.
Verne said sothing, but only Chase’s voice was heard in the dream. No other sounds were heard.
I guess it was because I didn’t want to hear anything else.
– You look tired. Get so more rest.
– I am your older brother. I should be worried about you, not you.
It was so good to hear that voice again that I couldn’t pay attention to anything else, and it wasn’t until much later that I realized it.
Chase in the dream had short hair.
It was like that. Chase had never grown his hair out.
This was because their hair color was exactly the sa. Because they both resembled Devlan’s face, they both laughed and said that it would be no fun if their hair was long. So Chase always had short hair. I have never grown my hair out.
Why it.
Didn’t you know?
That’s what Chase looked like when he ca to visit Kairis.
It looked a lot like Bern.
I ca to my senses thinking that I had finally noticed sothing I should have noticed at a glance.
“…… under.”
Recalling forgotten mories may be morable to so, but for others, those mories make them hold their breath.
That morning when birds with folded wings cried loudly.
Calian sat up and covered his face with both hands.
“I need to co to my senses…”
The whisper-like voice wavered like a candle.
* * *
The puppy-like face of the servant who said he had co to look for the cat did not look like that of soone who had co to look for the cat. Now I don’t know if he wanted an apology for throwing the knife or if there was sothing else going on, but he did it anyway.
In short, he was standing with a face like that of a seasoned general about to enter his hundredth battle.
“Prince Planz.”
“why.”
Plantz, who had sent out only Relic, the servant who had announced Jan’s visit, responded in a voice that was half annoyed and half annoyed.
Then Yan opened his mouth with a face that looked like the sky was going to collapse at any mont.
“The prince’s eyes are red.”
“It’s originally red.”
Are you barking in the morning too, just like your owner?
When I looked at Yan with those eyes, Yan spoke again.
“No. The prince has been feeling low these days.”
…I don’t have any energy.
Around the ti yesterday’s story ended, Kirie ca out of the training center. My crazy brother saw that and asked to spar with him, and I agreed. I almost died.
The wound on my neck that healed well overnight still seems to be throbbing.
Plantz, who seed to have slightly closed his eyes, opened his mouth again with a face that asked Jan, who had no idea what he was swallowing, to wonder if I would have co here.
“Because of that now”
“You. Siegfried.”
Plantz cut off Jan’s words.
Jan had a sowhat stern look on his face. Then he tilted his head slightly and opened his mouth briefly.
“why.”
Since Siegfried has been called, he answers as the duke’s son.
Plantz chuckled as he saw Yan noticeably change with just one call. Then he went to the sofa, sat down, leaned back, and pointed across. It ant that he had sothing to say by sitting across from the duke’s son, Siroian, rather than his servant Jan, so Jan sat down without hesitation.
At the sa ti, Planz’s mouth opened.
“Call , Duke.”
Jan stared at Planz’s face.
“Do you know what it ans for Demirea to co here?”
“know.”
“Has the situation beco so severe that we need to intervene?”
One corner of Plantz’s mouth curled up after hearing Jan’s words. There is no way Plantz doesn’t know who they are and what choices Slayman made when Lemain ascended the throne.
“You sound like you would do sothing if I asked you to intervene.”
Siegfried is not a man who stands up.
Kalyan also knew this. That’s why, even when he thought he needed the power of a knight, he didn’t look for Count Aizen Aprin, not Slayman.
“You don’t need a sword, so just bring a shield.”
If they wanted to intervene, they would have called for Slayman, not Demirea. Of course I will refuse.
Plantz spoke in his characteristic languid voice.
“My brother doesn’t have the personality to even ask for that.”
Randel’s hand was unusual.
It was not a visible force like the Knights or Wizards. The identity is unknown. The fact that he threatened Calian with such power ant that he had even a full-scale fight in mind.
Therefore, Siegfried needed their ‘na’.
Since Alan Manasil and Vulcan alone could not keep both Tensil and Brissen in check, there had to be another force that stood out.
A large group whose na alone could be enough of a threat to both sides to prevent them from thinking of attacking right away, lest they have to deal with both at once.
Jan, who was looking out the window and thinking about sothing for a mont, answered.
“This year, the Little Duke also ca to Kairisis, so it wouldn’t be difficult to talk about it. But…”
Jan paused for a mont and looked into Planz’s eyes and asked.
“I’m curious why you’re going to this extent to help. I just ca here because I wanted to know the reason.”
After hearing those words, Plantz let out a self-deprecating laugh.
– Everything was ruined because of you, so please understand this much.
The cause of this situation was Plantz.
If he hadn’t known that Calian was strong, Randel would have targeted only Briesen and Planz first. Calian should have been out of Randel’s eyes for now. Whether Calian defeated Lennon or created Balkan, he would have left it alone, confident that it would not escape his control.
Calian’s hidden power was revealed to Randel.
In addition, he continued to join hands with Plantz, and this ti he even openly interfered with Randel. Both the Knights and the Vulcan were unfinished and the sword was pointed at Randel.
So now Randel’s next target will be Kalian.
If you can’t use it, get rid of it so it doesn’t bother you further.
So in the end, things got crazy because Calian saved Plants. There was no way sothing like this could have been in Calian’s plan.
However, Plantz was not kind enough to explain it in detail, so he simply answered.
“Because I owe you sothing.”
“Prince Planz owes a debt, so why are you asking to call Dmirea?”
It is clearly visible that he is trying not to pay attention to Chase because he is so focused on Landel and Briesen. There is no ti to rest even for a mont. So, he was trying to repay the debt that Calian had given him. I was wondering if I should have debt when I didn’t have anything.
“I think I need so shade from the elephant so I can breathe.”
That was Plantz’s idea.
* * *
Calian was taken aback.
The baby elephant that said it would visit the cat didn’t co back for a while, so another elephant was brought in.
“Where is the cat going?”
“I heard you were sleeping on the bed in the upper room. Cool. Turning over on your stomach. I guess the upper room is more comfortable than the prince’s room.”
Calian chuckled.
“Do we really need to change the cat’s na tag?”
Anyway, after asking about the cat, Kalian looked at the small elephant standing next to him and said hello.
“It’s been a while, Demirea.”
“Yes, prince.”
Only the face is similar to Jan, but the personality is completely different. Jan said she looked like her mother, but Kalian didn’t even know who Jan’s mother was.
Anyway, after exchanging brief greetings, Kalian patted my knee for a mont and began to think about what kind of situation this was. And before long, he pointed to the upper floor with his finger and asked.
“Is this what you think?”
“Yes. I don’t know why he wants to pay his debt to Siegfried.”
“This is so…”
It was a strange feeling to receive Plantz’s help.
Calian also knew that this ant that he would calm his mind for a mont because he would turn Briesen and Randel’s eyes away.
As the situation continued where he couldn’t be distracted even for a mont, Calian kept pretending not to know Chase and putting it off for fear of being shaken further. He gave Calian the opportunity to et Chase properly.
“You said you wanted to live, but then you tried to save .”
Calian, who was able to catch his breath thanks to the enemy he had co to love and hate, laughed. And then he spoke to Demirea.
“I won’t bother you for long.”
“It doesn’t matter. I’m different from my father.”
Those words were very aningful.
Perhaps the day will co when Siegfried will beco king for the first ti. As Calian thought that, a smile appeared on his lips.
* * *
It was gorgeous.
Kalian’s jacket was also dark gray, as if he had prepared it in advance. The silver buttons sparkled in the light of the chandelier. The end of the dark blue cloak was rimd with silver thread, and a diamond pendant was swinging from the closure of the cloak.
A diamond that never changes.
The decoration that was changed for the first ti this ti represents Siegfried, who kept his beliefs. So what could it be but a declaration of complete alliance?
The nobles murmured like that, and Kirie, who heard it, laughed secretly.
‘If you do the sa thing every ti, it won’t seem like anything.’
rlin, who was completely in charge of Calian’s clothes, said this.
Calian, who had a good safe, took those words to heart and simply purchased new items that could not be seen as missing. In fact, since the alliance was concluded a few hours ago, there was no ti to think about it or prepare clothes and accessories.
rlin, who had decorated Calian well, tried to add sothing more to Dmirea, who ca back wearing a dress. Of course, Demirea declined.
Dmirea made Calian, who was dressed very extravagantly, laugh by saying that a person’s dignity does not co from ‘things like that’. Calian was equally disgusted when he first saw the robes here.
Anyway, after going through that process, the two entered together and sat together throughout the entire dance.
Since they had sparred and talked a lot throughout the ti they were at Sleiman’s mansion, Calian looked very relaxed and talked and laughed.
“You two get along quite well, don’t you think?”
“I didn’t know that Siegfried’s little duke would go all the way out here.”
LeMaine nodded and answered Alan’s question as he watched the scene from afar and smiled.
Alan laughed again.
Looking at Marquis Evan Brissen sitting in front of .
Evan is probably the most surprised here. Evan asked Slayman with a very shocked look on his face.
“Have you changed your eating habits?”
The question was, why does an elephant get involved in the fight for the crown prince?
Although the voice was quite aggressive, Sleiman answered leisurely.
“Is it any wonder that the heart of a sword wielder goes to a prince who is good at wielding a sword?”
He then showed Lemain the area near his neck.
A very faint but fairly long scar remained. It was a trace of a wound inflicted by Calian’s sword.
“Look at this. Why is your son this rough-edged? I almost got into big trouble!”
While everyone was laughing, only Evan couldn’t help laughing.
In the end, Evan decided to take his eyes off Calian for now. He changed his plan, saying he had to take down Randel first and keep Calian and Siegfried away. I had
no idea that this current situation was set up by Plantz, who told to get so rest, and that I had no idea what consequences this would lead to.
