Chapter 5. This is too blatant (3)
Calian put his hand away and raised his head.
He had a stern face trying to hold back his anger.
It’s natural. Isn’t Kalian the person who should be most angry here?
Of course, it was an expression created for the attention of those around him. In fact, Calian’s true feelings are quite the opposite. I felt like I wanted to bow to Plantz’s tongue right now.
‘There are tis when you can be helpful, Plants!’
Calian looked at Lemain.
What Calian wanted from Lemain now was not to get angry and punish Planz.
On the contrary, he hoped that Lemain would do nothing. That will bring the greatest benefit.
As if he had read Calian’s wishes, Lemain did nothing.
He did not scold Planz, planned future punishnt, or looked at him with contempt. Without saying a word, I just looked forward again and nodded towards the chamberlain to indicate that it was okay to start part 2.
Silike saw that and bit her lip.
Right now, Lemain had shown himself that he had no expectations of Plants and that he would continue to do so in the future.
Calian once again smiled secretly.
‘Silike. ‘How far will my feet get bitten?’
I thought Silike would definitely try to diffuse this situation. Calian had high expectations of what it would be like.
The fan in Silike’s hand broke with a clanging sound.
‘Stupid… even though you said that!’
Lemain knew well that Plants was not behaving well.
There was no way he wouldn’t have known, as a ban on drinking had been imposed on Plantz for going out drinking in the square. So I could sohow get over criticizing Kalian. That’s just the way it is.
However, making insulting remarks about the origins of his dead concubine Freya in public, and doing so in front of Lemaine, who cared for Freya dearly, was an act that crossed the line.
‘Planz.’
Silike’s eyes turned to Planz.
It wasn’t Plants who didn’t know what he had done. I wasn’t raised that way.
Silike made eye contact with Planz, and goosebumps appeared on his arms.
Right now, Plantz didn’t look embarrassed or regretful.
‘…You did it on purpose.’
One corner of Planz’s mouth turned up slightly.
It was only then that I realized that he had done that on purpose. It was clear that he had shown this behavior in response to a few words he had said to Plantz before coming here.
Silike’s silent cry was directed at Plantz.
‘Why Planz today!’
Alan Manasil ca to the palace.
Calian’s na was included in the list of candidates for crown prince coming out of the nobles’ mouths. On the sa day, Plantz made an irreversible mistake.
There was no need to consider what the nobles, who were just steps into Brisen’s territory, were thinking and deciding.
Silike bit her lip once again and turned her head to look ahead. The second part of the performance was going on for a while, but no one in the special room was watching it. Silike to solve this situation and Calian to take advantage of this situation. I desperately continued the chain of thoughts.
And that ti.
lfir sighed after discovering sothing.
“Huh.”
It was both a sigh of relief and a sigh of surprise. In front of him was a half-cut rope.
“If this fell on your head…!”
Just thinking about it makes my throat feel tight.
lfir hurriedly began to take asures to prevent the rope from getting further damaged. After that, we set up tight security to prevent anyone from approaching until the end of the performance.
Fallun sighed and suddenly turned his head and looked down.
The black-haired prince who helped prevent this and thus saved lfir’s life was sitting with an undisturbed look.
I rembered again the expression Calian made when I believed his words and gave up the seat next to Lemain.
The youngest prince clearly had the look on his face like a teacher looking at a student who had solved a problem well.
And after that, it seed like he didn’t care about this place at all. There was no sign of lfir being anxious about whether he could understand what he was saying and solve the problem.
‘Even if I get through today without incident, I don’t think the prince will co looking for .’
I got the feeling that he didn’t save his life because he wanted sothing in return. lphyr, a rchant to his core, had never made a transaction that did not require compensation.
“Huh…”
lfir made the sa sound again and swallowed dry saliva.
* * *
The performances are all over.
The pollen did not fall.
‘I guess I solved it well.’
Still, just in case, Calian stood up and talked to Yan to kill ti.
Randel and Planz went down first and then got out of there. As expected, no accident occurred.
When I ca down the stairs, lfir was waiting.
Lemain looked at him and said.
“It was a good ti.”
Lemain said nothing about lfir not staying by his side. Rather, he thought it was fortunate that no other nobles saw Plantz’s actions directly.
“I’m glad you were satisfied, Your Highness.”
lfir showed humility.
anwhile, Calian looked at Silike, who was looking at lfir instead of lfir. There was a small question in Calian’s eyes, but it wasn’t obvious enough for anyone to notice.
‘There is no response from Silike.’
okay. Plantz did do the work.
But apart from that, if there wasn’t an accident that should have happened today, I wouldn’t have passed it by. He wasn’t stupid enough to forget about the other things because of Plantz.
‘It’s a face that doesn’t care about accidents at all.’
Right now, Silike was not even listening to lfir’s greeting.
‘Even Silike doesn’t know. So that ans Lennon did it alone.’
My mind becos complicated again.
“Then I’ll see you back at the ball.”
lfir said this and looked at the three princes.
The words were specifically directed at Calian, but Calian received the greeting without any response and ca out and climbed on Raven’s back.
‘Randel Briesen Top Fallon Top. What is the correlation? Could it be that Tensil has sothing to do with it?’
Bern had never even paid attention to the sacred nation of Tensil next to Kairis. I didn’t know exactly what happened during this ti.
Thanks to this, Calian frowned and began to groan as he tried to figure out what had happened in Tensil during this ti.
‘If it is related to the top, it is an object. If you’re trying to make a profit by ssing with the royal family, it’s probably not worth the normal price… Ah!’
Items that are not of ordinary value.
When I thought about it that far, I finally ca up with an answer.
A knowing yet unknown smile appeared at the corner of Calian’s mouth.
‘Diamond. It’s a diamond mine.’
After finding the hidden word, all the puzzles were correct.
I rembered a short conversation I had with Chase back in Bern. I rembered talking about the news of the accident.
– It seems like child’s play, too young to call it terrorism.
– Do you think it was simply terrorism against the royal family?
– They said the prince was hurt. Is there anything else, bro?
– well. Where are you going to think about it?
Too blatant and simple thinking.
It was a foolish accident, as if they were planning to expose the fact that they were targeting the royal family.
‘There is no way that priests of a sacred country would buy diamonds often. Most people would have tried to sell it as Kyris. At the top of Tensil, Randel must have noticed what he was thinking about, so he would have preferred Fallun over Brisen.’
It wasn’t until Calian that he discovered the cause of the problem, which Chase imdiately thought of.
‘Brisen frad Fallun in order to take over the diamond trade. Anyway, other than Polun, there is no large rchant that can do such a transaction.’
The reason why Randel was touched also beca clear.
‘If Randel gets hurt, King Tensil will intervene and they may have hoped that it will end quickly before any questions are raised. Lennon is unexpectedly a bit of a nerd.’
After finishing cleaning up, Calian turned his eyes to look at lfir.
lphyr wanted to et Calian right away, but he couldn’t do it as he wanted. Now that I’ve figured out how valuable the problem was, I’ve changed my mind to get a fair price for lfir’s life.
“Tell the event manager that you won’t be going to the prom today.”
Jan was startled by Kalian’s small voice and looked at Kalian. And looking at Calian’s sad face, who seed to be greatly shocked by Plants, he let out a sad sigh.
“Okay, I will.”
“sorry.”
“No, prince.”
Kalian had no idea how much remorse he felt when he saw Yan shaking his head with a more gloomy face than himself.
* * *
Lemain, who was sitting at his desk after returning from the performance, stared blankly at the visitor. He then took off the glasses he was wearing and put them down on the desk.
“Surprisingly.”
The person who found Lemain stood in silence for a mont and then walked to the sofa. The sound of shoes clicking again echoed in the quiet office. Lemain was staring at that figure in silence.
After a while, Lemain stood up. And I opened the window as if chasing the scent of Renier filling the office.
By the ti I opened all the windows in my office.
– smart.
With a knock on the door, the chamberlain entered carrying a tray full of tea. Then Lemain moved his hand slightly and said.
“Not required.”
The corners of Silike’s eyes trembled.
Isn’t this being treated as a completely uninvited guest?
Lemain, who had sent the chamberlain away, slowly walked over and sat down in front of Silike. There was no emotion in the eyes.
In fact, it was sothing Sillike was already familiar with.
It’s been like that ever since Freya died.
“What’s going on?”
Lemain opened his mouth to Silike. It was an emotionless voice that perfectly matched those eyes.
“I’m young, so forgive for my mistakes. Briesen will take the punishnt.”
Silike clenched her molars.
This is because he never thought he would say these words to Lemain.
Lemain raised an eyebrow.
No matter what Plants did up to now, he had never co to visit in person like this. Silike had never even said such a thing. This was a pretty big mistake, but in the past I wouldn’t have bowed down like this.
“Forgive. What should I forgive?”
Of course, Lemain knew the reason for Silique’s change in attitude.
Kalyan.
To be exact, it would be because of Calian, who carried Alan Manasil on his back.
When I thought of Calian, I also rembered what Silike, who was sitting in front of , was doing right now. I also thought I could understand why Briseen was so willing to take responsibility.
‘I guess it’s more important to tie down the nobles so they don’t turn away from Plantz right now. That way, nobles who have nowhere to go after Calian disappears won’t go to Randel.’
No matter what he loses in the na of punishnt, he is confident that he will get it back after Calian dies.
– Until now, just pretend you don’t know anything.
Lemain recalled Alan’s words and smiled slightly. I laughed, trying to resist the urge to twist the thin neck of the Silike sitting in front of .
‘Did you laugh?’
Silike, who had no idea what he was thinking, looked slightly surprised.
During that ti, Lemain never showed emotion in front of others. But such blatant laughter.
Silike tightened his grip on the new fan and Lemain spoke.
“Okay. What do you plan on receiving as punishnt?”
Of course, there was no way the royal knights would be defeated.
Because it’s not so desperate that you give up on it. Silike, who had recovered from her shock, opened her mouth. It was just as LeMaine expected.
“It was an impressive performance, so I think it would be good to give an award.”
“iced coffee.”
It was truly an impressive performance.
Silike’s words ant that he would give up so of Brissen’s comrcial territory to the top of Fallun. Lemain would just have to set the scope of the concession according to the size of the forgiveness, and the Brissen family would accept it.
“It would be best for Plantz to co in with today.”
The deal was accepted.
Because Calian won’t die anyway.
