Chapter 44. Lest I forget (7)
the fishy sll of the sea.
It’s not fragrant like a flower, it’s not sweet like a cake, and it’s a dull salty sll with nothing fancy about it.
Not because it reminds of Bern, not because I want to go back to Secretia, not because it’s painful or difficult, but there are days when I just want to see the sea for no reason.
I don’t know exactly what it ans to miss you so much, but there are tis when I feel like I need to fill my bones with that salty scent to feel refreshed.
Just like today.
There are monts when I really miss the sea that is not here.
“What do you an by true master?”
“I want you to know who I really am.”
“I saw the prince three tis today.”
When we aid our swords at each other in a bar on a rainy night, and today.
Calian, who counted the number for a mont, nodded and answered.
“That’s right. This is the third ti I’ve seen you too.”
Eila’s eyelashes, which seed to be longer than Calian’s, fell slightly and then rose again. Whenever my mind was in a complicated state, I always made that kind of facial expression.
“The more I check about the prince, the more I don’t know. My appearance without disguise. My na. How did you know? How did the prince find the new store? How did he know the codes we use? Why did he use the na Red Swan? His Majesty the Crown Prince. Why did you want to know about the prince so much? Why did the crown prince help the prince and defeat the white eagle after he ca here? And where did the prince learn that swordsmanship? What is the prince’s identity? The real owner… Why? “Is that what you’re saying?”
that day.
– You shouldn’t have done sothing fatal in front of !
Why and how.
Did you have eyes like that?
“…… I do not understand.”
“Just because you don’t understand doesn’t an you don’t know.”
The white fingers that were clasped and placed on the leg drew a round line on the back of the other hand.
He had been smiling without hiding it just a mont ago, and there would be no problem if he smiled all over his face right now, but Calian erased all the smiles from his face.
“When you knew I was calling you, you ca because you thought I would help you. You ca because you believed I would protect you from the other birds of Secretia chasing you and from the King of Secretia. I have already put you on the scaffold. “I know very well what I posted.”
I only saw it twice before today.
They got into a fight and arrested Ayla without turning a blind eye to her mistakes. sent to death row
“I want to ask you how you trusted this ti and ca all the way to this royal palace, Aila. Why did you co to visit soone you knew would never turn a blind eye and imdiately arrest you again?”
“that.”
“If it were , I don’t think I’d ever co here. Unless you’re sure about .”
There was a half chance that he would co here or not.
“I thought that if you guessed a lot about , you would co looking for , but if you didn’t, you would never co. If you didn’t co, I would co up with another way to catch you. I would do whatever it takes to catch you again and get the information I need, and this ti, properly. “I will put you on the death row.”
If he had the right mindset, he wouldn’t have entered the Kairis Palace.
“But you ca. You ca right away, as if you had been waiting. Even if you were pushed to the very end, I don’t think you would have co to end your life on a Renicita leaf. Nevertheless, if you had co, you would have already vaguely known who I am. All I can say is that it exists.”
I knew it the mont Aila appeared on the terrace. Now, Aila didn’t co because she didn’t know who Calian was, but because she was already sure.
“Ala. Is it true that you really ca here without knowing anything about ?”
Aela’s eyes looked at Calian.
Calian looked into those eyes.
Aila, who had not taken her eyes off him for a long ti, opened her mouth.
“Who are you… really?”
Calian laughed.
Blue hair and watery eyes. I laughed because the image I rembered was just like the sea.
“Stop forgetting about it.”
How everyone has forgotten.
It’s so annoying to explain it every ti.
“I am your master. I am.”
Ayla.

Needlen lowered his head.
Hair resembling adinia petals shook as if falling together.
“I’m sorry, prince.”
Plantz, who was quietly looking down at the back of Needlen’s head, asked in a pitchless voice.
“Why you?”
“I’m not allowing you to co in at this hour, and I’m also asking the prince to do this.”
“it’s okay.”
Planz only gave a short answer and then took a large piece of paper from Needlen’s hand. Needlen did nothing wrong. If you look at it closely, not only Needlen, but no one else did anything wrong.
– I thought it was sothing you guys should know first. If you feel uncomfortable at all, please tell openly. I will cancel imdiately.
That morning, Lemain summoned Landel and Plantz separately and said this.
– I would like to ask if it would be okay to expand the Wilhelm Pavilion to the current location of the Heisia Palace and move the Heisia Palace next to the Camilia Palace.
The two princes were being asked their thoughts on whether to move the Heisian Palace, which had been postponed for reconstruction due to the discovery of the Cispanian cavity, to be located next to the Camilia Palace, where the king resides.
This is why there was an opinion that it would be a good idea to close the entrance to the Sispanian community at the site of the Heissia Palace, the empty space closest to Wilhelm’s pavilion, to allow only authorized people to enter and exit, and to build an additional building for Balkan.
Of course, it was Calian’s opinion. The only person in all of Kairis who could actually say such a thing was Calian.
– All right.
Randel showed no particular reaction to that.
Instead of saying whether I like it or not, I said I understand. This ant that it did not matter where Heysia was built.
In fact, what Lemain was most worried about was Planz rather than Landel. In fact, Lemain and Plantz were the only ones who rembered visiting and eting their ‘mother’ who lived in Heisia Palace.
– There is no disagreent.
Plantz also gave an answer that excluded whether he liked it or not.
– Okay, I understand.
Instead of adding unnecessary words, Lemain simply said this and accepted to proceed with the expansion of the Wilhelm Pavilion.
“I was originally going to tell Vice Commander Hertz, but he kept not coming.”
“know.”
Thanks to this, a rough plan had to be made on where and what to build more on the Heisia Palace site, and Needlen, who was in charge of the project, tried to get Arsene’s advice. No matter how much a wizard he is, he has common sense, so how could he ask Plantz his opinion on it?
“It’s okay, so stop apologizing.”
“Yes, my prince.”
So, Plantz, who could not see the little boy waiting anxiously for Arsene to return, took the initiative to help Needlen. Since they were saying that they were going to do sothing today that could have been done tomorrow, I thought I should just quickly help them and get them to leave work.
So, from the evening when everyone returned until late at night, we worked together to plan what to build here and there on the Heisia Palace site. After that, we ca together to the place where Heisia Palace was located to make a final check on whether it would be okay to write the report as planned.
“But, Prince. You know who I am, right?”
Niedlen, who heard Plantz keep calling himself a ‘wizard’, asked this. I didn’t know how disrespectful it was to a royal family who lived their whole lives without having to morize anyone’s na, but I brought it up because I felt like I had beco a bit closer to Plantz.
“The wizard commander who lost chicken to Lucy and eats salted food.”
“…… yes.”
I was just wondering if I knew his na, but since I never forgot sothing unexpected, should I be grateful for this or should I feel bitter that the mory remains?
Plantz glanced at Needlen, who had an awkward expression thanks to him, and added,
“Needlen Zeia.”
“Ah. That’s right. Thank you, Prince.”
Needlen smiled and nodded.
It occurred to that the prince, who was bad-tempered, sensitive, short-talking, and only good at training cats and giving them the hardest training, was surprisingly not that difficult of a person to deal with.
Plantz turned his eyes toward the empty lot without answering.
Seeing that the gaze remained in one place, Needlen looked in that direction and cautiously opened his mouth.
“That’s where the flower garden was.”
It was a greenhouse rather than a flower garden.
In the middle of the Heisia Palace Flower Garden. This was where Silike’s greenhouse was located.
Imdiately after the execution of Silike’s sentence, it was disbanded and disappeared, so Niedlen, who entered the Balkans after that, would not have been seen even outside the palace.
Plantz, who had been thinking about the greenhouse for a mont, turned back.
Since I had nothing more to do, I decided to just head back.
“It slled really good.”
Stop.
“It’s called Renieri, and I heard it’s a precious flower. It was planted there, but when the palace collapsed, it was so damaged that it had to be pulled out when the rubble was being removed, but even then, one flower blood.”
“…It was planted.”
“Yes. There were quite a few of them planted there. The scent was so good that I still rember them.”
The site of Silike’s greenhouse.
Sillike did not plant Renieri on the greenhouse floor. I grew it in nurous flower pots. Moreover, the last ti I visited the greenhouse, it was empty. Renieri was not there.
The stopped foot did not move for a long ti.
Plantz, who had stopped and looked down at the floor, nodded and then took a step forward.
at that ti.
Even Plantz knew that no one had launched Annerusia for Silike.
I have never once considered it regrettable.
Because I knew that Silike would not want Annerusia.
“……You crazy guy.”
Plantz let out a short sigh, having finally learned that there was a person who properly saw off the life he had saved with his own hands.
“yes?”
“no.”
I planted Renieri and went.
I can still sll the scent of Renieri in my coffee.

Black mother-of-pearl carriage.
said Calian, who was carrying a man dressed in black in the carriage, which was the safest place outside the palace.
“Anyway, the only people who know your face are King Secretia, the Crown Prince, or . And if you use magic carelessly in that house, you will be in big trouble, so don’t disguise yourself for a while. Don’t even co outside, and stay inside quietly until I call you again.”
Eila asked Calian, who seed to have finished speaking and was about to close the door of the black carriage that would take him to the best place to hide outside the palace.
“Whose house is this?”
“You’ll know when you go. The girl singing at the door will tell you.”
Calian replied and closed the carriage door.
Soon the carriage started moving with a clicking sound.
“Don’t be surprised.”
As the carriage was about to leave the palace gates, Calian jokingly added, and let out a small laugh.
– Welco to the ho of Archmage Alan Manasil!
It was because I thought of a very pleasant flower-shaped stone statue.
As the carriage left the palace, I could feel the energy of magic swirling around the entire palace. The security magic, which no longer needs to be stopped, has been activated again.
Calian, who personally saw Aela off on her way out of the palace in case she was caught by the palace knights, smiled as he thought of Alan, who must have had a hard ti blocking the security spell.
So, I went back to Tabak Tabak Chermil Palace and stopped for a mont at the entrance of the building. Then I changed direction and walked towards the lakeside.
“Why are you not going in? It’s late.”
At this ti of night, while looking at the lake filled with white moonlight, I saw a head like duckweed shaking.
“you.”
“Why did you wait for ?”
There was no answer as I stood so distance away from the plant and stared at the lapping lake water for a long ti. Calian knew that once he started thinking, he would fall into his own world without caring about who was next to him, so he just quietly waited for the next words to co out.
“Cat’s na.”
“yes.”
I think I’ve finally decided on a na for my cat.
Calian, feeling a little disappointed that he would no longer be able to apologize to Nabi, smiled slightly.
Plantz turned his head and looked at Calian.
“What do they say they will rember?”
“Do you an the old language of Secretia?”
“Because Lucy is taking care of it.”
Since Lucy was nad in the old language of Secretia, she was planning to na the kitten the sa way. Calian answered with a strange smile.
“It’s Anne.”
Anne Lucia.
A flower that comforts the departed with a promise not to forget.
Planz must have thought of that for a mont and looked at the lake again.
“Go for it.”
Not butterflies, not apples.
You may or may not know that this na was given to an that you will not forget what you are teaching your cat to live well and take good care of it.
Calian nodded.
“When are you going to tell the aning of my na?”
“When you grow up, brother.”
Calian answered with a smile and pointed towards Chermil Palace.
It was cold so I told my weak brother to co in quickly.
What I didn’t know was that Plantz was deeply troubled when he suddenly had the terrible thought that my na ant pea.
