Chapter 58. I thought there wasn’t another (1) pea,
but there were three.
This is a story about Plantz’s patience. Except for the crazy blue-haired wizard and the pink-haired wizard who eats things with salt, most people don’t know this, but there are at least three of them anyway. Of course, this count only applies to people. Just as it is impossible to get angry at Anne, who presses her protruding uvula and ows prettily, Plantz’s patience also increases infinitely in front of her younger brother, who barks as if he doesn’t care at all.
For the most part, it lives well, but sotis it disappears.
This is an explanation of Plantz’s reason. It would be a problem if he sotis went too far with his rationality and even played his heart like a piece on a chessboard, but in any case, Plantz was a rational person. However, there are tis when I lose my senses, and this is the case where I look at my younger brother spinning around so many tis that I don’t even know how many tis, and then I say, “I don’t know, and I spin around with him.”
When you get to know it, it’s gentle, but it’s not just gentle.
Of course, this is an evaluation of Plantz’s personality. After throwing a knife at Yan to confirm that his younger brother had changed and making a thick scar on Calian’s palm, he didn’t show such a cruel personality, but he also didn’t live with his gentle personality on display. There is a good reason why people do not readily sympathize with Kalian’s feelings, who think Plantz is very gentle. He has to show his humanity because he knows that Lucy is his younger brother who only thinks of him as a joke, so he just puts his life down in front of him.
“Because I’m busy. Just get to the point.”
Anyway, it’s that kind of planz.
Calian had been silent ever since he brought Serjane to the villa, who said he had sothing to say about Randel. It was also Plantz who decided to help Randel with his work, and whether it was real or not, since Serjane was now the crown prince of Tensil, it would have been better for Plantz, who was in the sa position, to answer.
Serjane, who had followed him to this point, did not remove the disguise spell. Even though he left his two guard knights outside and sat alone in front of the two royal families of Kairis, he not only did not show his face, but did not even reveal his true na.
Calian knew better than anyone that Plantz, who was dealing with such a suspicious Sergein, would be a smart pea who, unlike when dealing with himself, would show less patience, put in reason for a while, and then put his well-known personality to good use.
“go.”
Like this.
– Sweet.
Relic ca in briefly, put down three cups of tea and went out. The tea had a nice scent mixed with cinnamon and dried tangerine peel. Serzane, who slled that scent, smiled and opened his mouth.
“Tea ca out just then, so drink it in moderation and go. By the way, I heard that Kairis people like flower tea, so I guess that’s not true.”
The Crown Prince, who really doesn’t like flower tea, looked briefly at his younger brother who had stopped drinking flower tea for a long ti before answering.
“I guess Tensil people have bad ears. Just as bad as their brains.”
“For soone who was polite first, what he said was quite rude.”
“If you don’t like it, leave. That’s it.”
“This is it, won. They say they’ll take care of it, but they keep telling to go.”
“I think I told you to get to the point. You’re definitely not smart.”
A chuckle was heard from Calian’s side.
This is because Plantz’s speech was too short to have a smooth conversation with a stranger, and the Crown Prince of Tensil was a person who did not listen to even those short words. If this goes on all night long, one side just tells you to get to the point and the other side only says what they want to say.
“If it keeps coming out like that, I think I’ll get a little disappointed.”
“If you’re sad.”
Plantz crossed his knees and placed his hands on them, as if he was going to work hard without the cat. Then he leaned a little towards Sergein and opened his mouth.
“Whether that proud Crown Prince Tensil was killed or dead? Let ask you that first.”
Sergein’s mouth fell shut.
One corner of Planz’s mouth curled up.
“I don’t like taking turns. How about that?”
Kalian, seeing the pea fighting well, raised his teacup with a relaxed expression. I especially like the sll of tangerines, which is more fragrant than flowers, today.
Ah really. What should we do with our Hina?
I knew that there wasn’t a single thing that wasn’t amazing, but I couldn’t help but admire it over and over again to see how it was so mature. Isn’t it definitely thanks to Hina that I was able to figure out what was inside that crown prince so quickly?
“I didn’t know I was changing the horse.”
“Did he receive it in exchange for sending a healer to Devlan? Or did he receive it in exchange for sothing else before that?”
“…I thought it was possible because you seed to doubt my identity yesterday. You still think the sa thing.”
“Brother Randel’s work is an excuse. I guess he ca here to check whether we know his identity or not.”
Of course, Plantz, who is speaking now, did the sa, but Kalian also did not consider from the beginning that Hina might have been wrong. Wasn’t Kalian the one who thought about how to change the definition of platinum color when he heard that Tunteun was platinum-colored, and also nodded when Hina said that he had grown a little taller? So, if Hina says she is a woman, she is a woman. How in the world could anyone doubt that?
“It wasn’t an excuse, but if it were confirmation, it would be confirmation. I was worried that they might spread ridiculous claims.”
“That’s too much. If you’ve said this much, it’s okay to tell . You don’t seem to know that if you want to save , you have to reveal that part first.”
Calian, who had been quiet until now, opened his mouth.
This ti, I couldn’t stand the foolish behavior any longer, so I went out. Of course, it’s worth it to keep taking steps. Even Alan wouldn’t recognize his appearance as a disguise at a glance. However, the opponents were Kalian and Planz.
“But even if I can’t recognize soone using a magic tool… I can recognize soone lying.”
The wind blows at the end of the words.
Serjane’s short hair was blowing in the wind. Then, with a ‘pop’, the blue, round earring on Serzane’s ear broke off and fell off.
Hair color changes. The length of the hair did not differ much, but it gradually beca a blue-gray color, completely different from gold. The golden eyes also changed. With narrow, sharp eyes that are silver with a deep blue tint. The uvula retracts and the neck becos thinner. Fingers beco longer.
The corner of ‘Serzane’s’ mouth curled up when he realized that he had returned to his normal form. Anyway, Calian just shrugged his shoulders and looked towards Plants. I ant that I saved you ti to argue, so now you can continue talking on your own.

Where spring cos. Kairis.
Spring has co to Kairis. The frozen Seneu River flows again, and the scent of yellow Fredia flowers begins to color all of Kairis.
The purple sugar cookie, which looked as fluffy as a cloud, lted and disappeared as soon as it entered my mouth.
“I thought purple would taste like grapes… but it doesn’t taste like grapes.”
The person next to asked the child’s disappointed words after slling the sweet scent left at the end.
“You don’t like the taste of lavender?”
“Because it’s a flower. I don’t really like flowers.”
“Can I ask why you don’t like it?”
“Because I’m upset when the flowers wither.”
“If it blooms, it has to wither and disappear, Riri. A flower cannot continue to bloom.”
“Still, it’s a pity. It disappears so quickly.”
The reasons may be different, but I wonder if anyone with the sa bloodline knows how to avoid flowers. Demirea, who was walking next to the child Lillie, gave a small smile.
“The almond tree you like is blooming too.”
Demirea opened her mouth like this and talked about what the flowers of the almond tree that Lyrie loved so much looked like, what their scent was like, and how the almonds opened after the flowers blood and fell. It showed that the flowers of the world do not just bloom and fall pretty without any aning.
“If you don’t like the lavender flavor, I’ll buy you another flavor.”
And also added this: I explained to a child who hated flowers why flowers should bloom and fall, but I did not encourage him to stop hating flowers. Demirea’s mother, Serie, never forced her to do anything she didn’t like.
Lillie, who was looking down at the remaining sugar cookies, took another one to her mouth and said.
“It was made by soone else. I don’t want to throw it away.”
“You probably don’t like being forced to eat.”
“I’m not forcing you to eat it. It’s not bad. Instead, buy sothing red next ti.”
“Okay. Next ti, I’ll buy you a red one.”
“What does red taste like?”
“Well, maybe it tastes like strawberries.”
“What if it slls like roses?”
“Then I’ll buy you a yellow one.”
“What if yellow slls like Fredia, Demirea?”
“It’s okay. So may not have the scent of flowers.”
“Yes. Next ti, let’s take a closer look and choose a different flavor.”
“Okay, let’s do that.”
What do red sugar cookies taste like? I think it might be a strawberry flavor, or a rose scent, or another flavor that is difficult to guess. Demirea promised the following with anticipation of what it would taste like. Riri smiled and nodded.
“Dmirea are you going ho now?”
“That’s right. The clothes all fit together.”
“Where should we go in the evening?”
“No. I have no other plans.”
I was on my way to get Lyrie’s new clothes.
I wore a light yellow dress that would look great on Riri, along with a light blue jacket and a navy blue trouser suit. I also bought several new sets of comfortable clothes of various types and colors, including long skirts and pants that would be great for walking around. Children at this ti really grow up every day.
Although she could have called in soone from the clothing store as she would when getting her clothes tailored, Demirea purposely went outside. Even if this wasn’t the case, I walked around the streets with Riri as often as possible and for as long as possible. They did not use carriages or horses, but sotis walked in pairs, and sotis in small groups, including only the drivers Yuran and Siona. Just like Serie and Slayman did.
Because I knew very well what a good mory it would be.
“Liri. Is there a place you want to go?”
“Yes. I want to go to the river.”
Turquoise hair and eyes.
A child who resembles Evan’s hair color and Lennon’s eye color. A child who resembles Gray’s sharp eyes and soft mouth with Silique’s thin jawline and high nose bridge. Therefore, this child resembles Plants in many ways. Briseen’s child, unknown but obvious to anyone.
He was that kind of child, so at first I thought about raising him and hiding him in a mansion until Evan and Lennon were forgotten in people’s minds. I couldn’t help but think that way. Then I thought about my first brother, who is no longer in this world. I realized that I had been thinking sothing very foolish.
After that, I called Jan and talked for a long ti. I also talked to Lemain. Of course, the first thing I did was ask Riri what she thought. However, I did not ask Slayman. Anyway, Sleiman was going to reply that Riri should do whatever she wanted. No matter what the outco, what rumors arise, how Gray reacts, or what demands he makes. Slayman’s Siegfried’s shield is large enough to protect a small child from all of that. Because protecting is what Siegfried does best.
At the end of the many conversations, Demirea held Lirie’s hand and started to leave the mansion together. Of course, Lemain also attended the fish feeding event. Gray, who was still quiet, did not react hastily, and the nobles could not speak their mouths carelessly in front of Siegfried. Thanks to this, the event ended quietly.
“You saw the Senyu River yesterday too.”
“I know, but I want to go back.”
“It’s cold by the river in the evening, Riri.”
“But. There were so many people yesterday that I couldn’t see everyone.”
Unlike usual, Riri was stubborn. It seems that many people flocked to see the royal family and were disappointed that they were not able to enjoy the sights to their heart’s content.
“Then…”
Demirea paused, took out the pocket watch in her pocket and checked the ti. It was the perfect ti to go back to the mansion, wash, eat dinner, do the work I had put off, put Riri to bed, practice swordsmanship, or read a book before going to bed.
Demirea took a look at the sky where the sun was setting before she knew it and bowed down. Then, he tightened the pure white fur scarf around Riri’s neck once again and said,
“Then let’s stop by for a mont. But not for long.”
“Yeah. Good.”
A flower blooms on Riri’s face. Demirea, who smiled even if only slightly, turned her head and spoke to Yuran. Since it seed like he would be behind schedule, he told everyone to eat first instead of waiting for him to co in.
After Yu-ran, who had been on the road with her, left for the mansion first, Demirea debated for a mont whether to take the carriage or walk a little. Then, I rembered that Riri liked to watch, so I just moved on.
As if she was still amazed by the stores and items on display that she had already seen many tis, Lily, who had been walking slowly as she looked at them one by one, stopped. The aning is clear as this is the second ti we have stopped other than in front of the sugar cookie shop. It probably ans that there is sothing you want to buy. So Demirea looked a little surprised.
“Do you want flowers, Lirie?”
“When I go to the river….”
The words were unusually hesitant.
Even though I said I didn’t like flowers, I stopped in front of a flower shop on my way to the river.
Demirea looked down at Lyrie for a mont and stretched out her arms. And then he hugged the child. Lillie had grown a lot since she first ca to Siegfried’s Mansion, but Siona was still light to Demirea, who wielded a heavy sword that only an Auror could fight.
“I’ll buy it for you, Annelucia.”
Lemain announced the beginning of spring by feeding fish in the Seigne River. It also ant that another flower would soon bloom again on the Seigne River.
After Lemain left, many Annelucias that had not been able to float all winter ca onto the river. Demirea answered the question asked by Lillie after seeing that. That flower is Annerusia and why that flower is floated in the river.
Without asking who the flowers were for, Demirea bought quite a few bunches of Annerusia. You have to say one word to each flower, so you can say it generously no matter who you say it to.
“I’m sending it to mom.”
Lily, who was looking at the flower basket held in the other hand that was not holding her, let out a whisper. Demirea closed her eyes for a mont and opened them at the small words spoken as if she were telling a secret.
Lily was smart.
Although he may not be as smart as Plantz, he is definitely smarter than a child. No one told what happened to the person who gave birth to , but I already knew it well.
“I should have bought more flowers.”
Demirea spoke to herself like this while being careful not to let the child in her arms hear a sigh.
“No, that’s enough. I’ll just say that you’re doing well and you don’t have to worry anymore.”
“okay.”
“Thank you, Demirea.”
“It’s okay to not say thank you for things like this.”
“thank you.”
“…… okay.”
Demirea, holding Lyrie in one arm and holding a flower basket in the other, kept walking. Lillie put a sugar cookie into Demirea’s mouth. Then I wrapped my arms around Demirea’s neck and put one in my mouth. After eating the last of the sugar cookies, I hugged Demirea tightly.
The cold air slls of sugar cookies and lavender.
Annelucia and Demirea’s firm and warm arms.
It was the first spring outing that Lirie rembers.
* * *
Last fall.
He said it happened around September to be exact.
“There was an attack. We escaped with the crown prince, but there was an accident on the way.”
The guy who tried and failed to figure out if he really knew who I really was spoke in a deep tone.
“The crown prince is alive. However, it is difficult to say that he is alive.”
Tensil’s crown prince. In other words, it was a story about the real crown prince, not the forr bodyguard who was pretending to be the crown prince.
There was an attack, and while escaping, the crown prince fell off a cliff. Although he was rescued, he was said to be unable to speak, think, or move properly. It was also said that all of the crown prince’s close associates died on the sa day.
“What did the king over there do?”
“I tried to send a priest without the nobles knowing, but it failed. It was Your Majesty’s close associate who sent the attacker.”
“… Are they nobles? Why?”
“If Prince Randel is not going to beco King Kairis, it would be better to invite Prince Randel to succeed him to the throne. I think he probably made a different contract with Prince Randel.”
It was a seal of oath.
“Is it because of Kairis?”
“Isn’t there Prince Randel’s power in Kairis as well? His intention is to expand the land based on that. He’s also joined hands with the wolves.”
“I didn’t know it was nobles who joined hands with wolves.”
Planz, who was laughing, thought for a mont and said.
“How are you disguising yourself?”
“His Highness, knowing that I had missed the treatnt period, made a deal with Devlan. To make the crown prince without the nobles knowing. I was the only one who could imitate all the actions of the crown prince and prepare for an attack.”
Calian didn’t know whether it would be the guy sitting in front of him who would die in a carriage accident this fall, or whether it would be the real crown prince. Because the magic that changes your appearance won’t be removed even if you beco a corpse.
“So. What do you want?”
“I offered to attend the birthday celebration for the returning King Kairis, but was turned down. So I ca here to ask if you could make room for Prince Randel and I to et.”
“why.”
‘Serjane’ looked at Planz for a mont. Then he looked at Calian again and after a while he opened his mouth.
“To ask if Prince Randel can ascend to the throne of Tensil but hold your highness’s hand instead of the nobles. I don’t want to be a king. I’m a person who uses a sword.”
Calian’s eyes turned to Plantz.
Plantz will definitely agree to sending Randel to Tensil, and Calian cannot interfere with that.
“Nope.”
And Plantz refused.
“You can solve your country’s problems on your own. I don’t know why my brother has to go there and beco king.”
It’s really surprising and unexpected.
He said he had no intention of sending Randel away.
Without even asking about Randel’s intentions.
