Chapter 32. My sword (5)
is sharp.
If Calian’s sharpness was like a hidden dagger, Bern’s sharpness was like a huge sword that had even thrown away its scabbard so that he could wield it at any ti.
And Chase’s sharpness was like a hawk’s gaze piercing the heart of a field mouse. It was not the sharpness to cut and wound, but the sharpness to properly point out and make an accurate judgnt, no matter who the opponent was or what the target was.
In other words, it is insight.
‘I don’t know if you already know, but there are days when I can sll the strong scent of blood from the prince.’
I already knew that there are people who suddenly disappear without a word one day. I knew why it disappeared, and I also knew who was behind it.
Devlan.
Chase also knew very well how Devlan reigned over the nobles. but.
I didn’t know who the sword Devlan was wielding was. I couldn’t even imagine it.
No way, the father wants his children.
‘I’m telling you because I can’t wait any longer.’
It took too long to hear those words.
How many years have you been watching and only now are you saying such a thing? I wonder if you can still say that you are that child’s teacher. With those words, I did not bla Teilan.
I understand that you may not have believed it.
Chase was also the offspring of Devlan’s son, the Serpent.
Isn’t this the older brother who ascended to the crown by receiving an oath of loyalty from my younger brother? So, I found out that I couldn’t open my mouth to Chase, who may be different on the outside and the inside. I found out that Teilan had been watching the entire ti, fearing that his own intervention would beco a bigger wave and sweep away Bern.
That’s why Chase didn’t bla Tailan.
Chase blad himself and regretted that he had committed a sin so great that he could not bla anyone else.
Even after this.
Can you call your older brother?
‘Everyone makes mistakes. Crown Prince, I don’t think you’re such a perfect person. I don’t know what you did wrong, but why regret it when you should fix it right away? ‘Do you have a lot of ti?’
Arianne’s words were always sharp, and she ca to her senses imdiately after being cut by the blade attached to the horse. I looked into it and gained more accurate insight.
I moved as I decided.
– The Shaman of Rattlesnake Den is on his way to Nevillead’s large nest.
At that ti, Devlan was suffering from illness.
It was an illness that I did not know when it started, and it was getting worse day by day.
He was born as the son of a concubine and ascended to the throne with great difficulty. He had to overco his mother’s other relatives with his own hands. Devlan, who did not want to lose his precious throne, eventually ignored the royal law and called in Tensil’s healer.
And the bird raised by Devlan steadily gathered information that the healer was heading to Secretia and reported it to Chase.
‘Lord Castrin.’
‘Your Majesty.’
‘I hope no traitor’s blood ever steps on my land.’
Chase decided to follow the law, not Devlan. It was Chase’s choice and decision to protect his younger brother from his father.
It might have been a disease that could have been cured if I had t a healer. Otherwise, I might have faced the end a little quicker and with less pain.
‘Healer. I cleaned everything up.’
But because nothing in the world can be perfect.
Because perfect whiteness cannot exist.
‘father.’
Chase is a nice guy.
Chase was also the offspring of Devlan’s son, the snake.

– I was thinking a little more about the axis of ti.
The answer to those words did not co back right away. That’s why Chase spoke again.
– I sent a letter to Mae’s side, but I thought I would have to wait, so I contacted them in advance. Please check the letter for more detailed information.
I rembered the letters written on the axis of ti. However, just like Verne, Chase couldn’t read it either. So, even if I rembered it, it was not sothing that could be explained in words. Still, I didn’t bother sending the conversation.
Or because I said I would contact you when there was no reason. So just.
– … I’m worried that you may be overdoing it.
Instead of saying thank you and sorry, Kalian got worried. I did not hide that I was worried.
Calian’s voice seed to be heard right next to .
I was worried that they contacted faster than I expected. He said he clearly doesn’t rember much, but I wonder if it’s too much to rember. I wonder if it brought back unpleasant mories.
Chase tried to tell her not to worry, but responded by nodding obediently.
– Actually, a slightly different mory ca to mind. It wasn’t a pleasant experience, so I was a little surprised, but I wasn’t more shaken than that.
After saying this, Chase picked up his teacup and took a sip, recalling an unexpected mory for a mont before opening his mouth.
– Knowing that even if I faced the sa thing now, I would still have made the sa choice.
The sa would be true for Bern.
If Bern had been around, even if I were to face the sa thing now, I would have made the sa choice and walked the sa path without hesitation. So Chase was the sa.
I couldn’t rember why Devlan had done such a cruel thing. I thought for a mont that maybe he did it for a clear reason.
Nevertheless, the reason why he was not disappointed or cursed at what he had decided and carried out was because he knew that he was not the kind of person who would hide behind Bern’s shadow and try to shine alone, even though he knew about it.
Even if it was clearly a mistake, I wouldn’t have regretted it twice. That was Chase’s belief in himself.
– So don’t worry. Because it’s okay.
After hearing this story, Calian felt a little unfamiliar. It was because I had no idea what Chase had chosen or what was unpleasant about it.
Is it a story about the axis of ti or sothing else? As I thought about it for a mont, I heard Chase’s words again.
– I also saw Arianne in my mory, and I was surprised that she spoke harsher words than now.
Calian let out a laugh without realizing it.
Arianne was the person who taught Bern how to turn soone else’s stomach inside out. Although not as good as Alan, who took the glory of Serenti, Arianne also had a pretty good mouth. And it was Verne who learned the wit, put it to good use, developed it, and passed it on to Arianne.
Since it was the result of that kind of interaction, words were bound to have been harsher in the past than they are now.
– I wonder what it is like now.
Instead of bothering to reveal that it was also because of Bern’s absence, Kalian simply answered like this. Because you will know even if you don’t say it.
There was no need to confirm that Verne’s empty spot was now revealed to the person who could protect Chase.
– It’s still the sa except the words are a little less sharp. He still fights well, scolds well, and comforts well.
Calian, thinking that it was a fortunate thing, silently nodded.
Chase continued.
I contacted him for no reason, but I had so much to say.
– I inford Lord Castrin of the fact.
ah.
thank god.
I’m so glad.
– I was worried about what I would do if they didn’t trust , but fortunately, they didn’t think I was crazy. So, I barely managed to get up and go to Kairisis.
Calian laughed.
I laughed because I finally had soone who truly knew what Chase was doing and would be by my side, and I laughed because the incident of almost blocking the sword of the continent’s first sword master disappeared.
– thank you.
So Kalyan said:
It ant thank you for not letting him suffer alone and letting it out loud, and it also ant thank you for holding on to that strong Teilan.
If you are Teilan, it will be of great help to you. Like Alan.
– Lord Castrin also said that. He also thanked for sharing my story. He said he really liked the ending and thanked for letting know about it. I also said thank you for various things, but I forgot everything.
I left out the ntion of crying.
No matter what, he is a teacher from the past, so his prestige needs to be raised.
Bern took the path of the sword at the age of 21.
He didn’t even say how grateful he was for letting him know that Teilan had raised such a great student who realized the law of the sword two years before him.
It was because I now knew why Bern had no choice but to beco a sword master so quickly, but it was more because I realized that no matter how much I told him, Teylan couldn’t rember the na ‘Bern’. So I couldn’t tell Kalian that.
– There’s sothing else I didn’t tell Prince Calian about in Kairisis.
After saying this, Chase tapped the table for a mont.
In fact, there were quite a few things Chase didn’t tell Calian about in Kyrisis. The story of how he gave up on everything and tried to kill Plantz, the story of how he t Landel in Chermil and gave him a warning that wasn’t a warning, the story of how his mind was complicated when he saw Arsene, and the story of how he told Plantz Bern’s na, and perhaps Plantz also said that. There’s also a story that I think I’ve forgotten. And there were quite a few other things besides that.
– I took a sword with . If it’s true, I want to return it.
A pure white steel sword used by Bern.
The sword used by Knight Vern Neriad, the husband of King Secretia. Unlike the current Vern, as his na suggests, he beca a truly unforgettable hero and took his sword to give it to Calian.
But I couldn’t hand it over.
I thought it might be too harsh.
Calian smiled slightly, whether he knew what that ant or not. And then he answered in a voice that said nothing was really wrong.
– I am using a different sword. So I hope it’s Prince Chase who writes it.
Chase looked slightly surprised at these words. This is because I never made it known that I was learning how to use a sword. Although it was not a face that Calian could see, he looked down at the bracelet with a clearly surprised face.
So when there was no answer, Calian spoke again.
– I found out when they gave coffee. When I thought about it, I felt very relaxed being alone without an escort. So.
He said he saw the calluses on Chase’s hands.
– But there is a crazy wizard around who wants to break the sword whenever he sees it. It’s so beautiful and crazy that it’s hard to explain, so if you ever co across it, please don’t show your sword. I hope it doesn’t break this ti.
Arsene Hertz.
I didn’t feel any hesitation in talking about him. So Chase was relieved once again.
It occurred to that I was not holding on alone in a place as terrible as I thought.
– Blue-haired wizard. I will be careful, Prince Calian.
Now that Chase knew that he wasn’t as terrible of a person as he thought, the cold feeling that ca to mind at the thought of that na lessened a little.
– …… na.
Kalyan said this.
And it didn’t last for a while.
It wasn’t until Chase took three drinks from his teacup and put it down that he continued his next words.
– You can call whatever you want.
What I’m saying is that you shouldn’t even endure this conversation that no one can even hear together. They said that since it was Calian’s responsibility to put down the na, there was no need for Chase to share in the responsibility.
Chase grinned.
I really like the sll of mint when I drink coffee after a long ti.
– When drinking alcohol. I will do that. later.
Calian’s laughter was heard.
A soft voice continued.
– At the beach.
– yes. At the beach.
* * *
Laughing and laughing, then laughing and laughing.
I think my younger brother is really strange.
No. That’s right, it’s strange.
anyway.
It doesn’t matter if it’s weird, weird, crazy, funny or not.
This was my room.
Their conversation, which started as soon as I could put away the dishes and didn’t end, was when I was wondering when I should kick out my strange younger brother, who seed to be older than even though he was my younger brother.
–
There was a loud knock.
I told him to co in on behalf of my younger brother, who was busy with construction, and when I turned around, I saw Reric had co alone. Since the car arrived a little later than usual and Jan was not there, I thought that perhaps sothing else had happened between the servants. Plantz, who had been sitting there without thinking about it, frowned slightly.
Coffee scent.
–
A chocolate-covered dessert was placed on half of a thinly sliced dried tangerine. And Reric put down a drink that went very well with the sweet and sour drink.
okay.
It was coffee with a chocolate-like color.
The conversation had already co to an end, and after briefly looking at the ring that was no longer shining, Calian’s eyes fell on the coffee.
“not.”
And Plantz said:
This ans bringing sothing other than coffee.
As a result of his hard work, Reric now understood that much imdiately and ca over to take back the coffee he had put down.
Calian, who saw this, slightly raised his hand and said.
“No, I’ll drink it. Thank you.”
Thanks to this, Reric said hello without having to worry twice and went out.
The prince who lives on the third floor had a look in his eyes that could be interpreted as saying he was grateful. Without knowing how much he would be scolded by Jan when he found out that he brought coffee to Kalian.
When I heard Reric leave and close the door, Calian looked at Plantz with a very surprised expression on his face. Although he had never drank coffee in front of Plants, since he had never drank it, he had never shown that he disliked it.
Calian quietly raised his hand, took a sip of coffee, and put it down.
“If my brother knows that much, he won’t starve no matter where he goes.”
“Stop barking and get out.”
Kalian took a bite of dried tangerine chocolate and tapped the remaining coffee. He ant to wait because he would drink it all and leave on his own.
“busy.”
Then he patted the cardigan that Plants was wearing and said this. I’m telling you to change and go out and get out of my room because there’s a lot to do.
Pure white cardigan.
Long cardigan.
Seeing that, Calian rembered sothing he had forgotten. I should not have forgotten it, but I was in a bad mood and the situation, so I rembered it clearly.
“older brother.”
Calian called out to Boiled Peas, who had an annoyed look on his face.
Co to think of it, why were you holding our Hina robe last ti? When I think about it, I already endured it once, but a little while ago, I even ntioned that beautiful na that I was afraid would wear out.
“Would you like to spar?”
He smiled brightly, completely forgetting that Planz had said he was busy. It was a smile full of relief from soone who realized he had almost endured it twice.
Afterwards, I drank the fragrant coffee again.
