Chapter 58. Peas Again (2)
The vast sea and sky.
How small and small the person standing in between them is.
Is it a mystery of nature that the head of a small person standing on such an amazing sea spins like this?
“If you don’t like getting some fresh air, look out the window. If you keep your light green head down like that, it’ll get worse.”
Between sea and sea.
A place where the seawater near the continent meets the seawater beyond the continent. Calm waves form where two sea waters, each with different amounts of salt mixed in, different directions of water flow, and different temperatures, meet each other.
I thought all sea water was the same, but Arianne, who personally brought me tea that was said to be good for motion sickness, told me while looking out the window of the cabin.
“Isn’t it amazing? The sea water near the continent is like transparent sapphire or emerald, and the water is really clear, but once you cross that white line, it becomes completely different.”
The sea water encountered after passing the long white wave boundary glowed dark blue. They say that when you go out there, the depth of the sea and the height of the waves change.
“The fact that my head is spinning right now doesn’t even affect my motion sickness. The day I fearlessly went out to see beyond, I really thought I was seeing Arnaizel.”
I feel sleepy.
I felt sleepy while listening to the soft explanation that was told like a children’s adventure story. Since I hadn’t gone to bed all night, I was understandably sleepy, but it felt a little different. The feeling seemed unclear, so I asked Arianne.
“People in this country take sleeping pills whenever they get the chance.”
“I use it, not everyone in this country. Our Highness doesn’t sleep well either. But the medicine works really well for him. Didn’t he say it’s a blessing or something like that? Since the sleeping pills aren’t poison, they just leave them alone? That’s interesting.”
… I guess it’s a sleeping pill.
This is why Calian barked at me to tell me not to eat anything.
Arianne, who had given the crown prince of a country tea containing sleeping pills, smiled brightly and continued speaking.
“Anyway, it’s just a light sleeping pill with no side effects, so don’t worry and sleep for a while. You’ll feel better after you sleep. And just in case, Sir Brigitte isn’t taking revenge on you for knocking me out, so don’t make any weird misunderstandings.”
I didn’t misunderstand.
After hearing this, I have doubts.
Actually, it’s a bit unfair.
Who would have thought that the tea given to the crown prince of a foreign country by my younger brother’s former fiancé contained sleeping pills? So, it was completely understandable that the ridiculous expressions appeared on the faces of Hina and the blue-haired crazy wizard who were right next to her… * *
*
The sound of the waves crashing against the boat was quite cheerful.
This is the second time since I experienced the sea on that cold day in Bern. This was only the second time in my two lives that I was on a boat. It was because I remembered the day when I was standing in the same place on a boat this big, and even though I knew everything was already okay, I couldn’t take a step forward.
Secretia is mostly sunny this time of year and today was no different. The day was clear and the waves were not high. There was no sign of dark clouds, let alone rain, in the next few days, so could there be a better time to launch a boat?
Thanks to that, I was able to safely step onto the ship.
The memories were washed away and the day was so clear.
“So what did he say in response to Crown Prince Plants’ words?”
“That’s right. What did you say…”
The moonlight and the horizon that doesn’t get closer to the port getting smaller little by little. Calian, who was looking at the distant images one after another, closed his mouth. Even though it happened just moments ago, he slurred his words and lowered his head as if he couldn’t remember much. And while leaning against the stern of the slowly moving huge ship, I looked down at the pure white foam spreading in the moonlight.
I don’t know why my green brother was suffering from seasickness, nor what the daughter of the marquis of this country gave him, nor what happened to my pea-like brother now.
“I don’t think he would have easily retreated.”
Of course, Chase didn’t know either.
Chase, who was looking at Calian, spoke again about Serjane’s representative, who had never revealed his name. Rather than being really curious about the end of their conversation, it was probably because I was worried about Calian’s behavior as he leaned toward the deep sea water.
I don’t know if it was because of Chase’s efforts or because he felt really at ease, but Calian was doing quite well. Didn’t you feel a little proud of yourself because you barely had time to put your foot on the boat and didn’t even hesitate as much as you had expected? As I was looking at the white foam forming where the boat passed, I felt the memories of my childhood being pushed away along with the foam and then becoming quiet again.
“I would have had no choice but to meekly back down.”
Calian did not bother to tell Chase, who was worried about him by pretending not to know, that he was okay now and not to worry. With his usual face, he looked at the moonlight at the port and the horizon again, then turned his head to Chase and answered. That was enough.
“Actually, Brother Planz answered too firmly. He just said no without even asking Brother Randel’s opinion. He said he would come back before he left Secretia and then went back.”
“He seems to be an unusual person. I heard he resolutely withdrew.”
“Yes. Is it because he has become accustomed to the crown prince’s position, or is it because of his personality? Even though he is from a foreign country, he is not greatly shaken or intimidated even when he is caught pretending to be a lie in front of the crown prince and prince of the same country. I wonder what kind of person he is. “I do.”
Chase nodded quietly and then opened his mouth.
“But it seems like you’re taking care of Prince Randel. I’m a little surprised by that too.”
“Are you talking about Brother Planz?”
“Yes. I thought it was quite generous.”
“Did you see it that way?”
“When we were talking about Hina’s healing art, I said that even if I couldn’t send that child away, I could send Prince Randel as much as I wanted.”
Plantz once told Chase that if Devlan had noticed Randel’s ability and invited him, he would not have refused.
Calian, who was shaking his head, said.
“I wondered if Brother Landel didn’t want to send him to Tensil alone, or if Brother Planz was unexpectedly concerned about his relationship with Brother Randel… I don’t know.”
If Randel ascends to the throne of Tensil, you will have to bow your head every time you meet Randel for the rest of your life. If you say that you don’t like that and are against Randel’s move to Tensil, you would rather nod. I couldn’t believe that Plantz gave that answer because he was worried about Randel and their relationship. That was it for now.
Wasn’t Plantz as reluctant towards Landel as he was about Renieri?
“That’s just my opinion, but I think it would be correct to say that I didn’t believe it. Brother Plantz and Brother Randel.”
“I heard you were worried that Prince Randel would harm Kairis or you when he obtained the crown prince title of Tensil and became king.”
“I think so. In fact, it is rather strange that my brother and I had such a good relationship. Among the candidates for the throne, the first prince jumped in to save his drowning brother. I guess everyone would have found it difficult to understand.”
Chase let out a soft laugh.
In fact, it’s strange that Chase and Verne get along as well as they do. Isn’t it the normal relationship between candidates for the throne to keep a distance from each other, like Randel and Calian or Randel and Plantz?
no. Just being able to go into your brother’s room, drink tea, and come out unharmed can already be considered a good relationship. There was a good reason why, until just a few months ago, carrying weapons or having a personal guard was not allowed in Chermil Palace.
“I don’t know how much Brother Planz thought and judged during the time it took to hear his suggestion and respond, or what happened between you and me before I opened my eyes again. I could be wrong, though.”
“You will find out little by little. There must be a reason for burying each other.”
“Yes. I think so.”
“So what do you plan to do now?”
“I’m thinking of meeting the guy pretending to be Crown Prince Tensil one more time and going to Bridget’s Forest for a while. Since it’s a place related to my mother, I’m planning to meet the elders of the elves and my mother’s family. I want to know why you and your mother found your memories. “It would be better if I found out. Oh, and of course, I will check Brother Randel’s problem as well.”
As if he had already thought of everything, the next schedule, which would continue breathlessly, came out as if he was waiting for it.
“I guess I’ll be in a hurry. Again.”
“I took a long break. I have to come back again.”
Calian, who was looking into the distance beyond the sea, took a light breath.
“Anyway, what do you plan to do with the crown prince of Tensil?”
“Well, what should I do? Since I came at a good time, I thought I’d meet him, but since I found out that it was fake, should I expel him…” Calian grinned, knowing
that there was no sincerity in his voice.
“Are you going to pretend you don’t know it’s fake?”
“Oh my. Are my true feelings so obvious?”
“Yes. It’s clear.”
“Yes. Since all the birds that went to Tensil were also brought to Secretia, shouldn’t we get along well with Tensil until they enter a stable period? That’s what I’m thinking.”
“You thought about it well. Tensil, who has joined hands with the wolves of the Great Desert, should not set his sights on Secretia. No matter what happens later, it is better to maintain a good relationship first.”
Of course, the work of Kairis and Kalian is important. But before that, isn’t Chase now the king of Secretia? No matter what happened between Calian and the crown prince of Tensil, he was now in a position to take care of Secretia first.
It was natural, so I didn’t feel disappointed about not expelling or putting pressure on the crown prince’s representative by helping Kalian in this matter. On the contrary, if he had tried to take Calian’s side, Calian would have stepped in to stop him.
– Flap!
– Cluck, cluck!
We must have arrived before we knew it, as the number of large and small sails, which seemed to number more than twenty, were lifted one by one. There was a sound as if the ship had stopped and dropped anchor.
“It looks like we’ve arrived.”
The fading moonlight remains the same.
But now it’s just water sloshing around everywhere. Perhaps Chase could no longer see the port. It has come that far.
In fact, Calian was planning to go out on a boat in the morning and return after a few hours. However, Arianne expressed a different opinion. Since we don’t know when Kalyan will come back, how about we all go and watch the sunrise on the boat?
Chase said it was good and Calian was worried. I first suggested this out of greed or a desire to show myself that I was free from ghosts, but I was also concerned that a voyage in the middle of the night might be dangerous. Because I wasn’t on a boat alone. So, I just left in the morning as planned and returned around lunchtime. I opened my mouth to talk and saw him.
Hina’s face was very excited after hearing Arianne’s words.
‘The sunrise is nice. Watching the sunrise from a boat would be even better. Of course it has to be good. ‘I definitely have to see it.’
I definitely go. Let’s go first. Even if it is not a night sail and there are storms and dozens of waterspouts, we go anyway. Because our Hina misses you.
So it came out like this.
Immediately after ‘Serjane’ returned, I prepared diligently and boarded the ship in the middle of the night. Secretly, of course.
Alan Manasil, the security officer who had come to ensure that no problems arose on the beautiful sailing ship carrying the royal family of the two countries, including the King of Secretia, who had just been officially crowned for a day, was busy. After dinner at the villa, Kairis’s companions wrapped up their day’s activities and went back to the bedroom. Chase went into his room and turned off the light, and Arianne quietly moved everyone to the boat. And like this, they came out to a place far from land.
After finishing his story, Kalian pointed to the inside of the ship and said.
“I’ll have a schedule as soon as I get back, so please take a break. “It’s still a few more hours before the sun rises.”
“I’m still thinking about it. You should get some rest too.”
“Just for a little while.”
Calian said and stretched out his hand in the direction of the horizon. Chase, who understood that he wanted to get some more air and see the sights, nodded. “Okay
. Then, let’s go in first.”
And he walked towards the cabin, leaving Calian behind. Calian, who had been looking at the back for a while, raised his head and looked at the sky. Then, he quietly looked at the sea that had calmed down before he knew it. * *
*
Calian I laughed.
I laughed for so long that I couldn’t hear the sound of water hitting the boat. Thanks to this, Planz, who had slept well for about an hour, forgot how much better he felt and frowned. “Stop.” “Okay.” The lowest level of
the
cabin
. Calian, who had come down to the place closest to the sea and was standing against the railing, stopped laughing. However, he did not hide his smiling face. As he was quietly getting some fresh air alone on the boat where everyone else was asleep, a bunch of boiled
peas came walking out. Good night. When I asked him if he was, he just nodded without saying another word. When I asked him if his motion sickness had subsided, he just nodded. I had
already heard from Arsene and Arianne herself what was in the car he gave to Plantz. However, Plantz, who was actually the person involved, You don’t say that. So how can you not laugh?
“Don’t bark.”
“I haven’t said anything yet.”
“You’re going to bark.”
“Well, I don’t know.”
The corner of Plantz’s eyes widened once again as he looked at Calian, who was smiling instead of continuing. He frowned. No matter how calm it was, the waves hit and got better, but the motion sickness didn’t completely go away.
Soon Planz turned his gaze towards the sea. Even in this situation, he followed the advice of Arianne, who had secretly given him sleeping pills. If you look into the distance, It’s a little better.
“I’d like to meet Serjane again.”
Because it’s a good way to get rid of motion sickness by making you think about other things. Calian started like this.
“Why.”
“I should ask you if you know anything more. The same goes for Zeon and the real Serjane.”
“Confirming his actions.”
“Yes. I’ll try to find out if the reason why Crown Prince Tensil’s actions were different from what I remember is because the person has changed, or if something else has changed more.” ”
Okay.”
“But you spoke well at length, brother. I reflected a little. “I didn’t realize that you grew up this well.”
“You bark at every chance you get.”
In fact, he was always good at talking.
The problem was that he didn’t do it all the time.
Anyway, that’s what Plantz was trying to tell him to stop shielding him whenever something appears. I opened my mouth.
“Ah. Brother.”
I couldn’t speak.
Calian’s finger pointed outside the rail toward the waves crashing against the ship. I
could see the dark sea water hitting the ship, breaking and disappearing. I could hear Calian’s voice pointing to what I could see between the white foam.
“Sometimes they are . There are times when it washes up on this beach, but more often than not, it is invisible. It’s my first time seeing it like this.”
Plantz didn’t answer.
A bright green color.
A light like a piece of emerald. The green colors that glowed on their own were repeating twinkling and disappearing as if lighting up the dark sea. I answered because I was looking at it. I forgot to do it.
It wasn’t because I didn’t know what it was, but because I was seeing it for the first time.
It was a much more mysterious sight than I had imagined.
Forgetting my motion sickness, forgetting my brother’s overprotection, forgetting my worries about Sergein and Randel, I just quietly looked down at the outside of the railing. . Then I quietly raised my head.
Because I thought of the gigantic beast that feeds on those shiny creatures that I can’t even see with my eyes.
“Over there.”
Calian called Plantz again.
The bright moon breaks over the sea.
That moonlight. At the end, countless water droplets splashed out.
The tail of a really huge beast came out of the water and landed on the surface of the water, creating a spray of water.
Once more and then again. The quiet beast moved leisurely. Its long body was even longer. It created ripples, and green sparkled where the body hit the water. A transparent silver tail sparkled in the moonlight.
Yes,
a transparent silver tail.
“Somehow. “I really wanted to go on a boat.”
Calian’s playful voice is heard.
“Interestingly,”
said the younger brother, who had a premonition of Devlan’s death.
Behind him, a body of light as if a piece of the Seneu River had been torn off in the middle of winter. A whale with a weapon was seen slowly approaching.
The shield, which he thought he had to tell not to hit, was spread out in front of him. When he saw that, Planz said nothing. He had no other complaints. This time, he couldn’t show any complaints. There was none.
However, I wondered if it would be of any use.
“Brother, I guess you can pretend that you saw a whale.” “
… Now you really bark at any time.”
Calian smiled brightly.
The transparent silver light was slowly approaching. A whale. Looking at the sea dragon Arnaizel who looked like that.
