Chapter 61. Wish (4)
Preservation magic.
If you ask what magic is used as often as ‘clean’ in real life, everyone will think of it.
A magic that keeps a 500-year-old building without a trace of rust or damage, and allows the Grand Wizard’s granddaughter to cook lobster in Kairisis, located in the north of a vast land without an ocean. Isn’t this the kind of magic that allows the sour tangerines that left from Secretia to still taste sour even when they arrive at the Chermil Palace in Kairisis?
Preservation magic was so widely used and easily accessible that everyone thought of preservation magic after clean. Like a magic lantern that anyone can buy if they just go to the nearest magic goods store.
‘I couldn’t cast a single preservation spell…’
But I couldn’t do it.
It wasn’t that easy.
Alan looked at the object in Planz’s hand.
Now, all I had to do was open the door to the office across from and ask them to cast one spell, but I clicked my tongue for a mont because I knew that I probably wouldn’t have thought of it at the ti I made it.
It’s an insignificant object that hasn’t had a single preservation spell applied to it.
So, it is a very slightly worn and slightly faded item.
Little rocket. The portrait inside it. The image of young Plants ca into view again.
“Were you excited to receive a gift and kept looking at it like this?”
“No. I didn’t know you had sothing like this.”
“…Did you say that…” In
fact, even Alan was surprised, even if he wasn’t as surprised as Plantz.
There was a mix of expected and unexpected things.
‘Isn’t it a letter?’
‘Yes, Master. Your Majesty sent it.’
That evening. I was worried about my son, whom I had not been able to contact for a long ti, so I couldn’t bear it any longer and went to see Secretia. When I went to the annex, Reric, who had finished organizing the remaining luggage of the crown prince and the prince, reported Calian’s whereabouts.
Along the way, Alan packed his luggage with Relic and ca to the Secretia Palace. After waiting for a while in the room under Yan’s guidance, Kalian ca back. Since his complexion wasn’t that good, I was about to ask him what was wrong or if he was hurt, but Kalyan showed a letter in his hand.
– Now I know you will take care of it, but I’m still worried. Please take care of yourself.
They say it was a letter sent from Lemain containing clumsy words of concern.
‘Are you saying that His Highness sent a letter?’
‘yes. I just t Kirie and I didn’t know she had mine, but I guess she sent it along.’
‘Then, is His Majesty the Crown Prince still standing outside like that, reading His Majesty’s letter?’
‘ah. A letter may be a letter, but… I don’t know.’
After saying that, Kalian turned his head out the window. Planz, who was just looking down at the thing in his hand as if it were nailed to one place, ca into view.
‘I’m not sure.’
For Bern, his father is a fearful person. People who should not be attacked. A person who always had to face each other and sharpen his blade for the chase behind his back. It was nothing more and nothing less.
‘I don’t know everything this ti either.’
Father’s letter. And gifts.
This was sothing Bern had never experienced before. So I just answered like this.
Alan, who had been looking at Calian for a mont, got up from his seat. And after patting Kalian on the shoulder a few tis, he went out to where Plants was. I put off asking what my beautiful son, who is prone to accidents, got hurt and what he was doing.
“It’s surprising. I didn’t even know that Your Highness would send sothing like that to or that you had sothing like that in the first place.”
“okay.”
It was not surprising that I had sent a separate letter to Alan without asking him to. It was no surprise that Lemain sent letters to both of his sons. It’s obvious that both of them are out, so there’s no way I’d send a letter to only Calian or Plantz. If one of the two had been Randel, I would have resisted sending him, but that wasn’t the case.
However, it was sothing Alan didn’t expect.
A slightly more fundantal problem than predicting whether or not a necklace containing a portrait would be sent together. I didn’t expect that Lemain had a separate portrait of his son.
“Are you offended?”
“…… why.”
“Just now about starting to send those things.”
“no.”
Plantz, who always ca back a little slowly, responded quickly.
No matter what it is, Lemain is a person who has lived his life by doing everything wrong.
But for once, Allen did not curse LeMaine.
Lemain’s personality would not have resulted in only a portrait of Planz being created. Whether in a desk drawer, next to the bed, or in your arms where no one will see. It is obvious that there are two other necklaces with portraits of the two remaining princes that were secretly made without being able to cast a preservation spell sowhere.
I did not bla Lemain for only sending it to Plantes.
Revealing that he had separate portraits of his sons, whom he was not interested in, would only be a new poison for Randel, and would be of no use or inspiration to Calian, who had kept all his feelings for Lemain under wraps. But isn’t this the case only for Plants?
It was neither poison nor useless.
Only for Plants.
Even if he doesn’t know Randel’s deep feelings or what has changed in Calian, it seems that Lemain now knows at least that much. So, there was no need to bla Lemain this ti, as he must have had enough sense to tell Plantz what he couldn’t bear to hand to Randel and what he didn’t necessarily want to hand to Calian.
“Don’t say anything to Your Highness. It’s not like that.”
“Don’t worry. I won’t hurt you.”
Of course, I’m not saying that I even felt like praising him.
Just because you start trying doesn’t an your past mistakes will be covered up. No matter what anyone says, Lemain has been sinning against his three sons for a very long ti.
“Then why are you standing here?”
“It’s my first ti. I don’t know what to think.”
Just one portrait and one letter.
Because I didn’t know what to do with it, I made it stand like that.
I don’t know what to do with the gift my father sent , I don’t know how to accept it, and I’m still too deeply depressed to just feel happy and grateful. After receiving the letter, I was worried because it was Kalian who told to open it. Nevertheless, I feel glad to see you.
“Did you have to stand here because it was difficult?”
Plantz’s head nodded slowly.
Alan, who watched this for a mont, quietly took a step. And without saying ‘excuse ’, he just held Planz in his arms. Just like I did the day I pulled him out of the sea, I held him tightly this ti with both arms instead of just one.
“…Why again?”
Just like that day, a lot of strength goes into Planz’s shoulders. Alan didn’t care and just patted Plants on the back. Because Alan’s embrace is still bigger than that of Plants.
“Do you rember how, when we t on the steps of the Chermil Palace, I said harsh words to Prince Planz, saying that he had done sothing crazy to Prince Calian?”
“I rember.”
“Are you sad about that?”
“no.”
“I scolded you because it was your fault. I scolded you not on behalf of your younger brother, but as soone who saw your mistake. Do you understand that?”
“…… I understand.”
Alan nodded.
And then he opened his mouth again, holding his back that had grown alone without any care.
“It’s like scolding Your Highness. The old man is scolding you when he sees you doing sothing that is difficult to see with your eyes open. Thanks to this, the old man’s stomach explodes ten tis a day. If I tell you one thing, you will learn that one thing. “Aren’t you like a cow who can’t see anything else?”
The shoulders that had been standing firmly shook for a mont.
It’s smiling.
“However, no matter how much I scold you, it is just an old man’s nonsense. Even if I scold you so much, it is like your mistakes do not go away.”
“I know. That too.”
“I’m telling you because you know too well that it’s a problem. It’s not your fault that your younger brother left like that. Since you buried it alone, aren’t you thinking that it’s only my fault? Because of that thought, I don’t care about other things. “I’m worried that you may have given up the will to bla Your Majesty for this. Even if you are at fault, and I am scolding you on behalf of you and the princes, there is no need for you to just forgive everything without being able to say anything to your Majesty.”
“… No. I didn’t forgive you.”
“Yes, you can do that. You can be angry too. You can tell your majesty what you have done to all this ti. It is okay for you to be angry and ask why you are only showing this now.”
“It’s not like that.”
“It’s okay to be happy too.”
Plantz, who responded that he did not forgive Lemain but did not resent him, did not give any other answer. I didn’t even laugh.
“Parents are like that in nature. Parents are the ones who you endlessly resent and then lean on endlessly. It was the father’s fault for not letting you lean on him, but there is nothing wrong with the child who wanted to lean on you. It’s all about blaming your parents and looking at them at the sa ti. “It’s not the child’s fault. It’s just natural, sir.”
Bern is also difficult to fully assess.
From now on, Kalyan will also learn. Alan, who had told this to Plantz first, spoke softly.
“Planz. It ans it’s not your fault your father left you alone.”
Planz’s shoulders, which had been still for a while, finally lost strength.
“So, whatever you think of what your father sent, it’s all okay.”
It’s okay no matter what you think of Lemain’s gift, which is both happy and resentful, and both resentful and happy. The foolish wizard spoke the words of permission that no one else could give.
And then I gently rubbed the back of my head, which was like a new green plant. I gently stroked it so that the warmth that touched my shoulder spread for a long ti.
* * *
A white hand moved quietly and lowered the black curtain.
Looking out the window, Kalian, who was a little older than to feel the feeling of losing his father, smiled, forgetting that he was hungry. And after a while, he opened the door and looked at the glass of water in the hand of the person who ca in, and his hungry face ca back with a tearful look on his face.
“Hina told to give it to you, so I brought it with you.”
There was no reason to ask Hina to give a glass of water. As for water, Jan can bring it to you, Kalian can bring it and drink it, or if you’re really thirsty, you can just make water and drink it.
So that is Hina’s ssage not to drink anything but water.
“I didn’t eat it. For real this ti.”
“Yes. Well done.”
Calian took a deep breath and pointed to the seat across from him.
It was directed at Kyrie, who although not as strong as Plantz, still felt younger than Calian himself.
“Sit down for a mont, Kirie.”
“yes.”
Kyrie briefly bowed her head and sat down in front of Calian.
Hina wasn’t the only person who needed to talk to each other, right? Because Kyrie had a talent for not showing anything outside of her face, just as good as Calian or Plantz.
“Kiri.”
“yes. Prince.”
“Do you know the na Whitlin?”
“I do.”
Calian nodded. I was
thinking that he at least knew the na, but Kyrie continued.
“Isn’t it the queen’s castle?”
“.. …. ah. “That is.”
Calian paused for a mont and moistened his mouth with the water in front of him.
The face of Kyrie, who had said she didn’t know my last na, ca to mind. I thought I didn’t know her last na, but now I know I didn’t know her na either.
“It’s the sa as your last na.”
” “What do you an?”
“It’s similar to giving my na as your last na. To my mother, Whitlin is.”
Kyrie’s eyes of different colors turned to Calian.
Calian, who was looking into those eyes, let out a scratchy voice.
“It’s your mother’s na. “Kiri.”
“Is that so?”
Yes.”
“…… thank you for telling .”
Kyrie, who had a rough expression like Calian’s voice for a mont, opened her mouth.
“I don’t rember when it was, but a tall elf ca to visit us. He said he had been looking for us for a while and handed us letters. And… Hina Kirie. He told us our nas.”
“It was Siona.”
“Yes. I expected it after hearing the prince’s explanation, but I think it was an elf nad Siona Hill. What I gave was a letter from my mother and the late queen. When I passed it on, I said that my mother was close to the queen. That’s all. “I did. At that ti, a long ti had passed since the queen passed away, so I think that’s probably why I didn’t talk about it.”
It wouldn’t be good if it beca known that he was related to the already dead queen.
“Yeah. I guess so.”
“And the Queen said that she had prepared a place for us to live in Whitlin Estate. She also said that if we wanted to go there, she would take us there.”
“… I should have been there.”
“If I go there, I will never be able to get my revenge. So I thought about sending only Hina, but I couldn’t leave Hina alone… In the end, I insisted and stayed in Kairisis.”
Calian nodded.
A deep sigh escaped silently.
“If you have any more questions, I’ll let you know. That’s all I know.”
“No, there is none.”
“Do you mind if I don’t know more?”
“You told your mother’s na. If you find out your father’s na later, please let know. Other than that, I don’t have any further questions.”
“okay.”
“Prince, do you have any questions?”
“No. Neither do I.”
Kyrie laughed slightly.
I felt once again how bad Calian was at lying.
You will definitely want to ask. Even if you don’t ask, you’ll be curious.
Do you still feel like taking revenge on Briesen? What about Planz? Because Hina and Kirie were different.
Instead of answering that lie, Kirie said sothing else.
“Would it be okay if I went back to Duke Siegfried’s residence?”
This is where Siona is.
This is also where Riri is located.
“I’d like to try sparring.”
“Sparring?”
The elf looked at Kyrie with eyes full of worry.
The elf tried to convince several tis that he would go through his pockets, take out all the money he had, hand it over, and take him to Whitlin Manor. The person who did that.
I wanted to show it to that person.
Like I said don’t worry.
“I want to let you know that my brother and sister are doing well.”
Calian looked at the glass of water.
I’m not saying I want to see Lillie or that I have anything to ask Siona, but I’m just happy to tell her how much she’s grown. So I nodded without another word.
“Okay. I’ll definitely ask you as soon as I get there.”
“thank you.”
“okay.”
Kirie looked at the tightly closed curtains for a mont, as if to indicate that she was not looking outside, rather than to avoid looking outside, and then searched inside her arms. Then he took out sothing and handed it to Kalian.
“His Majesty Plantz told to tell you this.”
“Brother?”
Calian tilted his head and opened the thing wrapped in paper.
And imdiately burst into laughter.
“also.”
It was jerky.
‘Give it to when your brother wakes up.’
‘Isn’t it beef jerky?’
‘Hina won’t let eat it. I’m not the type of person who wants to eat my brother. So just give it to before you make a fuss.’
‘Where did I get this…’
‘Relic brought it. Give Lucy.’
‘Are you giving Lucy to the prince?’
‘It contains salt.’
‘…Are you giving the prince sothing that even Lucy can’t eat?’
‘I won’t say no.’
Calian’s laughter, hearing what Plants said, leaked out the window.
“lie.”
Relic has finally arrived.
Didn’t he go to pack up his belongings that he had left behind as he had to leave the villa in a hurry and arrive with Alan? When on earth would Reric like that bring beef jerky for Lucy? Moreover, there was salt in the beef jerky that Relic brought to give to Lucy. There’s no way you could make a mistake like that.
As much as it was salty, I knew that he also wanted to take revenge on Raven for making him eat the sa diet.
What can I do?
“Please keep it a secret from Hina.”
It’s at.
I have to eat.
Calian laughed for a long ti as he watched Kyrie convey her worries about her son to Plantz and Calian to convey her worries about her younger brother.
Because my older brother shared a secret with Hina and also briefly shared it with my father, I am proud of him. I am proud of Kirie who pretended not to know what Plantz had given to Kalian even though he clearly knew it would be harmful to his body.
Those two are truly amazing.
