Chapter 68. Sleep (5)
You know, Demirea.
I’ve been thinking about it seriously.
No matter how I think about it, I think it would be better for us to break off the engagent.
Of course, I definitely intend to do that, but I wasn’t lying when I said I was disappointed. But no matter how many tis I think about it, I think I should break off the engagent.
ah. I am saying that it will have to be done at so point in the future, not right away, so please don’t co to right away and misunderstand that I am saying we should do it right away. Then I’m so sad.
In case you are wondering why this is happening.
It seems like it doesn’t matter what the reason is, but if I had to explain it to you, it would be Dmirea.
“… So, brother.”
“what.”
“The person who brought Balkan here is my brother.”
“okay.”
“Not your Majesty or Master, but your brother.”
“okay.”
therefore.
I’m growing sothing. there is.
It was big. It’s still growing. Fast and fast. It only eats grass, but strangely it grows really well. That’s really amazing.
“Brother, bring the Balkan army directly here.”
“It looks like my brother is very ill. How many tis do you ask to tell you?”
“Are you saying that you brought Balkan without any asures and ca here… to the Marquis Briesen’s residence?”
“Are asures needed?”
…… But he only grew taller…
“You said you would take to the Vulcan…”
“No. To get an apology.”
That’s what I’m saying. Demirea.
No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think I’m good at raising children.
“Whatever. Anyway, to do that, use Vulcan. Just. Like that… Block Vulcan. Rumble… A lot.”
“I ca here just because everyone said they wanted to co. Only half of them.”
“…… half.”
I guess I’m not good at farming either.
Siegfried I can’t work in the backyard.
I’m sorry for being such a useless person, Demirea.
“Half… like that. Half… that’s a lot.”
“Speak informally.”
Ah… what should I do?
* * *
At first, I waited.
I waited, worried every ti I blinked, breathed, or moved my head. No matter what anyone said, in front of Alan, he was just a young and wounded son, but he knew that he was stronger than anyone else.
When I went out to find out that Raven ca back alone. When it was confird that nothing was missing from the bag attached to Raven’s saddle. When he saw Raven, who had the hem of Alan’s robe in her mouth, trying to go outside again, as if asking her to go with him. When I found out that Vulkan, who had led Raven in pursuit of Calian, returned without any results. I couldn’t hold back any longer and went out myself. I left the royal palace.
Tried to get it back.
I searched for all traces left in the moving magic circle. Unless it was Danu or Sispanian again, did Serenti really co out this ti? I searched for Calian while trying to clear my mind of imagining nonsense.
I searched the entire capital, the entire country, and the entire continent. The forest of the royal palace, the basent of old Heysia, Duke Siegfried’s residence and the Seine River, Alan’s own house, the rocky mountain where Siegfried’s duchy and Sispanian joint are, Secretia’s villa, the seaside spire and Bridget’s Forest. I’ve been to them all.
Couldn’t find it.
The strongest father on the continent could not find his son. The great wizard, who was still helpless as his father, returned to the palace with nowhere else to go.
It was hell again. It was a nightmare.
‘Couldn’t Adelia be involved?’
The blue-haired wizard, who was able to think clearly, said these words on behalf of the empty head that could not think properly.
‘That’s Rashid Brisen. It was said that he also had a black stone. Doesn’t that an he is related to Zeon? But the prince disappeared on the day he confronted him. If Rashid Briesen did sothing to the prince… Among those associated with Zeon, there is soone who can completely hide the prince from the eyes of the corps commander. ‘Isn’t there only Adelia?’
I went to Tensil that way. I searched the tensil like a mouse, looking for traces of Adelia. And I couldn’t find Adelia anywhere.
I was sure.
Adelia dared to touch that child.
I promised.
I will find Tensil even if it ans breaking my heart.
I will find him sohow and kill him sohow.
This ti, I will definitely kill you and get rid of you.
– Wizard.
at that ti.
– Your son. I found out where it is.
Plantz spoke to through the communication bracelet I had left down, asking to contact him if I found him. As if he had read Alan’s thoughts and was trying to appease his hasty anger, he called him Calian with an irresistible word and called him out.
– I’m trying to bring my younger brother. I
thought I heard sothing like, ‘If you want to go with ,’ but I couldn’t hear it properly. Before Planz had even finished speaking, he returned straight from Tensil to the Wilhelm Pavilion.
Plantz stood up without even blinking at the sudden appearance of a wizard in front of him. And he made a request that was like a warning.
‘Don’t kill anyone. If that doesn’t work, it’s better to stay here.’
so.
Because I promised not to kill him and went along with him.
“I guess Balkan’s feet aren’t as heavy as I thought, Marquis Manasil.”
“Should the soldiers be slow on their feet?”
“We should consider it fortunate that the military that will protect the royal family of this country moves so quickly… I don’t know why a part of my heart feels so uncomfortable.”
Instead of killing Gray Briesen, who was sitting across from with a relaxed expression on his face and his mouth twitching, I thought about putting my fist in that shiny face just once. I was thinking deeply.
‘If the Vice Commander, who also serves as the Crown Prince, finds and rescues the prince who was kidnapped at Gray Brisen’s house. Finding our prince is of course fortunate and a good thing. If that happens, wouldn’t it only benefit Rashid Briesen?’
‘that’s right.’
‘Then it would be better for the Manasil Corps commander to sneak into the Marquis Briesen’s residence and then take the prince…’ ‘
Why.’
‘… Are you sleeping with your eyes open because you haven’t slept so much? Rashid Briesen Are you so tired that you even forgot that you just said yes to my words about only doing good things?’
‘This is a good hand. why.’
Didn’t Demirea do that?
Take advantage of Calian’s disappearance.
Planz, the good brother who had no intention of using the situation to his own advantage, but was very intent on using it to his younger brother’s advantage, turned his head away from Arsene, who was not speaking to anyone again. And then he spoke to Alan. Not as a deputy commander, but as a crown prince, he gave orders to Alan, who had an ambiguous relationship with him as if he were a subordinate or a superior.
‘Let’s go together. Go and kill no one, but stay in front of Gray Brisen. Don’t leave your seat and stay together. Until I co to find you.’
‘That’s right. Can I go alone? Or should I take this thing here too?’
‘It’s not an object. That’s too much, Commander. I am definitely a person who has a na, thinks well, and knows how to move.’
‘Except this. Balkan a lot. As much as possible.’
‘You say you’re taking a lot of people to the Balkans, but why are you leaving out? I also want to play the role of going to save our prince.’
‘not. Stop it, Your Highness.’
‘Are you sure you’re not going to tell His Highness?’
‘You speak as if you gave it to so ti ago.’
‘… You’re proud.’
That’s how we ca together.
No one was killed. I wasn’t going anywhere, I was still with Gray Brissen.
However, there was nothing that said that it was not okay to beat up Gray Brisen with your fists rather than magic. Alan, who was barely able to shake off his violent thoughts as he tried to open his clenched fist, laughed quietly.
“If a farr leaves his farming tools unattended, they will only rust. To prevent that from happening, he has to diligently move from place to place and cut down those green weeds in order to avoid going hungry. So… these useless, useless people who are trying to ruin the farming. “Is there any difference between checking in advance to see if there are any weeds or not, and your Majesty using Vulcan?”
Every ti he talked about weeds, Gray felt like he was looking deeply into his own green hair, which only made him feel worse, so he kept his mouth shut. Alan’s eyes widened when he saw that.
“There is no need to be anxious about the fact that he is diligently making sure that what he holds in his hands does not rust. The only things that are cut down and cut down to be fed to the horses are weeds, so if you want your farming to go well, you should welco it and welco it, Marquis of Briesen.”
You’re turning everyone’s minds upside down by comparing a country’s marquess to sothing like a weed, and even if it turns out there’s no problem, you don’t plan on protesting, but instead welco and welco it. What a blatant and shaless threat this is.
“I don’t know, Marquis Manasil. No matter how powerful your force is, exercising power without a just cause is just persecution.”
“We have co to find Prince Calian. Isn’t that the very cause the Marquis loves so much?”
“Your Majesty has already sent soone to turn my house upside down. He has already personally confird that there is no problem in this small house with no secret passage. If you suddenly co to again like this and tell to hand over the prince who does not exist, That’s not persecution, but…”
“Teacher.”
Gray’s words were cut off.
Soone called Alan. Alan’s eyes turn to Gray’s back. Gray’s head turns.
Not the door facing the outside of the mansion where Alan was sitting, but the door behind Gray. I turned my head towards the door connected to the hallway inside the mansion. I feel like there is a creaking sound coming from the head that is spinning at full speed.
Alan stood up. He hurriedly walked towards Calian, who ca in with his entire body supported by Kyrie. And he hugged Calian with such a cautious look, as if he might break if he was touched very slowly and incorrectly, as if the color would spread if he was touched.
“How did you end up like this again?”
“I slled a scent… I was dreaming for a mont and I got drunk on that scent.”
If it were Jan, this would have been an answer that would have made him say sothing like a doggy Jan, but Alan didn’t do that. He couldn’t bear to touch Kalian in case he got sick, so he looked at Calian and smiled as if to reassure him.
“Did you dream again?”
“For a little while.”
“… That’s right. I wish you would wake up. Let’s talk more about it when the prince feels better.”
“Yes, Master.”
Alan’s gaze returned when he saw Calian nodding. The person who was facing just a mont ago now opened his mouth, looking at Gray, who had an expression on his face that had not yet resolved the question, ‘Why is he coming out of my house?’
“Anyway. It looks like a weed has reared its head. So what should I do about it? Gray Briesen, Marquis.”
It was a mont when another major twist occurred in Gray Briesen’s life path.
“……It seems like there was a big misunderstanding, Marquis Manasil.”
The sll of blood is overwhelming.
Among the uninvited Balkan guests who ca here, none had such a strong sll. Even if Gray ca in here using a cleanser to remove the sll of blood, there’s no way Gray wouldn’t have noticed it. The house was sealed off again after the Vulcan was brought in, so there was no way they could have co in from outside after that. Alan Manasil, the only person who could move Calian into this house without Gray’s knowledge, had been with Gray all along.
That ans one of two things.
Either Alan Manasil moved Calian here in advance and made a play by bringing Vulkan in, or Calian was really trapped in this house.
Gray, who put off the thought for a mont whether he had ever worked his brain more intensely in his life, thought that the first assumption was correct. If Calian had been in this house the whole ti, there was no way he wouldn’t have known, no matter how much he wasn’t the sa as before. It made no sense that the knights of this family could not sll that strong scent of blood.
however. That’s why.
How on earth do you prove that fact?
If Alan had been away after Vulcan stord into this house, of course there would be few people who would believe him, but he could still insist at least once. While Vulcan was diverting Gray’s eyes, Alan, who had moved secretly, moved Calian from outside.
But Alan definitely is.
“Don’t think about making la excuses. I have definitely been with the Marquis all this ti.”
Alan was clearly with Gray. We were always together, never separated for a single mont. Not only Gray, but many people saw it together.
So how on earth can you prove this injustice?
“It’s not the Marquis of Brissen, Master. I took refuge here on my own, so the Marquis of Brissen has nothing to do with this.”
But at that mont, a faint voice gave Gray a lifeline. Unbelievably, the owner of that lifeline was Kalian.
“But… how should I prove this? That might be a bit difficult. Oh my. The situation at hand is a bit difficult, Marquis Briesen.”
I guess it’s a lifeline.
If you’re going to pick soone up and put them down, you’d rather just pass out. Where on earth did you co out like that and try to block my path?
“It’s okay if you don’t worry too much about soone like this. Your Majesty must be worried a lot, and the prince won’t be able to stay, so please return to the palace.”
Alan stopped Calian, who was sincerely worried about Gray.
After that, he looked at Planz instead of Calian, who looked so worried that he couldn’t leave.
“I will finish the work here and then go back. Please take the prince and go back first.”
“That’s right.”
Plantz nodded and looked at Calian.
Kyrie, who was standing next to him, supported Calian again without another word. Calian, who stubbornly refused even when asked if he wanted to ride on her back, leaned his whole body on Kyrie. I dared to stand on my own feet and move my feet.
I have to go back now.
I’ll get scolded by Hina and I’ll get scolded by Jan, but it’s still okay so I have to go back. Soothe Raven, et Eila, and look into Lord Hertz. To do that, I have to go back. I need to get better quickly and invite Demirea back. I should call Riri.
With that in mind, I walked one more step.
With Kirie right next to him and Plantz a little ahead.
“There’s a lot of commotion. What’s going on?”
But then.
A very welco voice blocked Kalian’s path.
– Crash.
– Jeopuk.
The sword attached to Kyrie’s waist made a warning sound.
Plantz’s steps, which naturally changed direction as if that was the path he was planning to take, blocked Calian’s path.
I found myself in an awkward role that I wasn’t familiar with and didn’t really want to get used to. Calian, unable to overco the awkward feeling it gave him, let out a long, silent sigh. It was a sigh filled with resignation, saying, “I don’t know. Protect everything as you want, as if you really were Yan.”
in between.
A person who ca to the living room where everyone was was spoke out.
“Oh my. Are you really Crown Prince Plants?”
This ti too, I couldn’t see anything because it was covered by Planz’s back, but it was a voice that couldn’t be confused with soone else’s.
“No. I am sorry… Please forgive . I will greet you first. My na is Baron Rashid Briesen. I am the son of the Marquess of Gray Briesen. It is an honor for the family to et you like this. .”
That voice greeting as if I was seeing it for the first ti.
“okay.”
Calian’s face was filled with sincere joy.
And Gray Brisen’s face was filled with anger.
Kalyan. Although there were no rumors, everyone knew that Kalian was missing. There is no one who knows that Calian has more than one bad relationship with Brisen. Calian is full of the sll of blood at this mont. The sa Kalyan was here.
‘It looks like they were waiting for this mont to co and barge in.’
The cri of causing harm to the prince’s body.
If that wasn’t enough, the cri of detaining the prince was a cri. Or the cri of kidnapping. Furthermore, the cri of attempting to murder the prince.
To bla it all on my father.
To co directly to the scene and create a cri that cannot be escaped.
‘You planned this. Rashid.’
I stepped into the noose.
Gray clenched his empty fist.
* * *
Gray, who was looking at Rashid, managed to put on a true face and open his mouth.
“As you can see, I closed the mansion because an important guest ca to visit. How did you co?”
It’s precious.
Isn’t this Gray who just a mont ago said he couldn’t open the door to my house?
Without even having ti to laugh at the clear change in attitude, Rashid’s answer ca.
“Didn’t I tell you? Those precious guests said they were looking for my family, so I shouldn’t be able to pretend not to know. So I hurriedly ca here to see them.”
“I have t you and offered my greetings, so please go back now.”
“Yes. That’s what I plan to do. Now that I’ve t you in person and said hello, I think I’ll just leave.”
Rashid smiled brightly.
He shook his head as if he was going to do so, then turned his gaze toward Plants, as if soone had suddenly thought of sothing.
“… I did it.”
A pair of black shoes can be seen under Planz’s long cape that falls below the knees. Since there is no need to step on the dirt road, you can just see the black shoes that are just finely made. The sll of blood coming from there. see.
“I thought I responded to your greeting. I guess I didn’t.”
“Oh, of course Your Majesty responded. However.”
The satisfaction of finding the prey that had been caught and missed was evident in Rashid’s eyes. Rashid, who made an effort to keep a calm face so as not to startle his prey, who was within arm’s reach, stared at Planz.
“I feel like there is soone else I need to et and say hello to, so I can’t help but feel bad.”
Planz looked at Rashid with a displeased look on his face. Then he stretched his hand back and pointed at Kirie and said.
“This person is not the one to receive your greetings. He is a knight.”
“Oh my… Your Majesty. Are you so worried that I might not be able to recognize that much? I am Prince Calian, who is behind you. I am referring to him.”
Calian closed his eyes tightly.
There is nothing particularly sad about the fact that Renicita is being installed for Gray, but things have beco very complicated.
But what can I do? It was you who turned a blind eye on the way back to the palace, and it was you who brought matters to this point. You have to take responsibility.
So when I opened my mouth to say sothing. Plantz’s hand, which had been sticking out from behind, moved. And he created a sign language.
– change.
…Change it?
As if to answer this question, Plantz’s hand moved once more. However, this ti we did not create sign language. Instead, he lightly touched Calian’s arm and passed by.
Click.
There is a sound of sothing light being filled sowhere.
Calian followed the source of the sound, checked his wrist, and lowered his head. He laughed quietly.
A very thin tal bracelet.
Because he knew that the thing he had seen hanging on Aila’s wrist several tis was now fastened to his own wrist.
“…You’ve never t my brother. Not only that, I heard you haven’t been to the capital for a while.”
“Yes, that’s right. It’s been a very, very long ti since I’ve been here.”
“But as soon as you arrive, are you telling to give up the person behind my back? Even though you are convinced that this person is my brother. Even though you know that I am reluctant.”
“I didn’t know you were reluctant. I’m sorry, my Majesty. However, if it’s Prince Calian, wouldn’t it be right to show my respect to him? I heard he’s a person who really hates it when nobles don’t show courtesy, so I’m worried that this might be a blemish.”
“He said he recognized my brother, whom I had never t. I thought I would have to see this person’s face.”
Plantz’s speech becos longer.
It’s a waste of ti.
Calian, who knew better than anyone how tiring it was to Plantz, moved his fingers. A long, thin finger pointing toward the floor slowly drew a curved line in the air.
By the ti the finger reached the end of the curve.
By the ti it stopped like an empty arrowhead hitting the floor.
– ……Sarak.
Feeling sothing brush the back of his hand, Planz slightly turned his head to see what it was and then looked at Rashid again. And then he opened his mouth in a relaxed voice.
“Your delusions and rudeness are appalling.”
– Jeopuk.
Plantz put one foot to the side.
I took out what I was covering with my body.
“I wonder if the reason you haven’t co to the capital during this ti is because the Marquis, who couldn’t bear to show you such a miserable sight, kept it hidden in his territory. That’s what I think. It’s a pity.”
It was a familiar sight that Calian quickly rembered. A look that Rashid would not know. In fact, it wouldn’t matter even if Rashid knew soone with a similar appearance.
A person like that was presented in front of Rashid.
The person standing behind his brother raised his head, which had been bowed for a mont.
Deep in the lake, deep in the sea, deep in my heart. took it out I took it out.
I raised my head.
My arms are a little short, but I’m wearing clothes that fit perfectly. And.
Long blue-silver hair hanging down arbitrarily.
“Nice to et you.”
The unfamiliar lavender eyes of a stranger looked down at Rashid.
He grinned.
Full of coolness and handsoness.
