Chapter 25. Where I should be (2)
I feel like I have a hangover that wasn’t there before.
Arsene shook his head, which had begun to pound. And then I looked at each of the thirteen wizards standing in front of me.
Well, it’s an army, but it’s only fifty people.
Compared to the scale Calian had in mind, the number was insufficient to say the least. Isn’t this just the beginning?
However, Arsene was unable to properly manage the Balkan crew, which numbered only fifty.
Of course, no matter who they are, they know that they cannot follow and control them even outside the palace. Controlling wizards. It would be easier to go to Alan and ask him implicitly if he knows that your student is not a normal person, and get out alive.
Therefore, it was Arsene’s job to make sure that there was no problem even if he did not control it. However, through this incident, it was clearly revealed that Arsene had been fooling around.
“It’s a magic that I learned not to lose in a fight, but I have to use it when I fight. I understand that. I also use magic when I’m angry.”
Arsene, who was looking at the crew like this, made a sound that seemed to be not to himself.
“If you fight, the store could get blown up. You weren’t drunk and shot in a strange place, so what can you do if the store was there? So I understand that too.”
I’ve blown it a few times too. are you okay.
Every time that happened, I just became a little poorer, but there was no problem.
“I fought like a wizard, didn’t lose, and didn’t get hurt, so that’s it. I did well.”
okay. This can be happen.
The system is not fully established yet and I undergo intense training every day, so I know there is accumulated stress. People get excited and drink alcohol, which can lead to arguments. If you can’t hold back, you can use magic. Like I said, it’s the magic I was taught to do.
“It’s the fault of those who look down on wizards and attack them.”
Look at the guys standing in front.
Anyone who looks like a fool can tell that he is a wizard. Still, if he attacked me, I should have been prepared.
If it was unfair for wizards to attack ordinary people, they should have learned magic too. If you can’t do that, watch your mouth carefully.
“But the problem is…”
Arsene, who seemed to understand everything and ignore it, blurted out his words uncharacteristically. All thirteen wizards kept their mouths shut, as if they knew they had done something wrong.
“The accident happened yesterday, and the security forces arrived at dawn. I heard about it after His Majesty, the Corps Commander, and Vice Corps Commander Plants all found out about it. Prince Akalian also knows about it.”
The wizards’ heads bowed as the words came out one after another without breath or intonation.
“Besides, when he was caught by the security forces, he said he had nothing to do with the Balkans.”
I couldn’t skip this part.
Arsene looked around at the crew once again and continued speaking.
No, I tried to do it.
“Vice-corps commander Hertz.”
If only someone’s pretty voice hadn’t cut off Arsene’s words.
* * *
“Aeow!”
And I heard a sound that shouldn’t be heard in a place like this.
Plantz turned his head towards the cat sound and said, ‘I am Prince Calian’s cat who prefers Prince Plantz.’ The cat was already getting closer.
I did not go to the Wilhelm Pavilion with Kalian.
Plantz didn’t even think about whether it was because he was in a bad mood, because he had something to worry about, or for some other reason. I just sent Calian.
After that, I went to Sponsor’s walk and met a cat.
As soon as I called Plantz, he came closer and pressed himself against my leg, so it seemed like he was looking for Plantz. Plantz, who was hugging the guy he couldn’t bear to hate, quietly opened his mouth.
“Fearless.”
He bursts into the rose garden and into Plants’ room. To come to such a remote place without fear.
“… What if I get lost?”
“Meow!”
The cat made a sound as if it had understood what Plantz said. Planz eventually smiled and sat down on the bench holding the cat. Plantz raised his head for a moment while stroking the cat, which found its palm and placed its head on it.
The sky is really blue too.
The sunlight shining on each tree cast a shadow all the way to where Plants sat. As I was looking at it, Calian’s words came to mind again.
– Don’t even think about living like you’re dead, acting as my shadow for the rest of your life.
He is saying things like that even though he already knows why Plantz is acting like that. Plantz couldn’t help but feel annoyed because he knew that this was being said knowingly.
“……You crazy guy.”
“Aow!”
How did he understand that his owner was swearing? He made a sound like a cat scolding. Plantz responded to the cat without realizing it.
“They look at a crazy person and call him crazy. Why?”
“Eow! Eow!”
under.
Plantz let out a short sigh.
It’s like arguing over a cat. I think it would be less funny to deal with Arsene.
While I was arguing with the cat, the wind blew for a moment.
– Saaa…….
The birch tree leaves were small and swayed easily.
The sound of leaves rustling in the sun-filled wind passed by.
Hair disheveled by the wind stings my eyes. Because of this, Plantz’s hand, which was raising his head and roughly brushing away his hair, suddenly stopped.
Hina was standing.
Hina, who was standing stranded, feeling like she had seen something she shouldn’t have, quickly turned to Plantz and showed her respect.
The prince who was arguing with the cat looked at Hina and opened his mouth.
“why.”
Hina smiled brightly because she thought he was asking why he was looking at her like that. Of course, it is a pure laugh that is fundamentally different from Calian’s smile.
Hina, who was holding something in one hand, pointed to the feet of the cat and Planz with her finger. It seemed as if he was asking if it would be okay to come close to pick up the cat, so Plantz nodded.
Hina walked a few more steps and put down what she was holding in her hand, a little away from Plants. I glanced at it and saw that it was light blue ice cream in a cup.
In order for Hina to speak, of course she had to have nothing in her hands. Therefore, Planz did not say anything to the maid who put something down next to her.
– The sun was shining so I brought the cat out, but it ran away again.
It was all difficult to understand.
Therefore, Plantz only understood that Hina brought the cat out for some reason.
– The cat followed the good prince. I guess he really likes the good prince.
‘I wonder what kind of prince the cat really is.’
And this time it looked like this.
The two words look very similar. Only the back was different.
Now I know what that meant.
‘Good prince.’
Plantz is at least a more rational person than Calian. Therefore, I did not misunderstand the difference between ‘good’ that came before and ‘like’ that came later.
still.
What a good prince.
The evaluation was very wrong. So much is wrong.
The leaves tossing and turning in the wind are as calm and peaceful as the light green sparkling waves. Hina was about to say that Plantz had exactly the same eyes now, but she just smiled.
Because these words are too difficult for the current Planz to understand. Instead, he pointed to the ice cream next to him and spoke.
– Do you like ice cream? I didn’t eat it.
Hina was probably the only maid who offered the prince the food he had placed on the chair. Plantz laughed at that boldness and answered.
“I don’t like it. It’s blue.”
I left out the statement that the blue and round eyes look exactly like the eyes of someone who lives upstairs. It wasn’t something worth saying to Hina.
Hina, who had never seen a person who disliked blueberries because they were blue, laughed quietly.
– So what flavor do you like?
Plantz was silent for a moment.
It was the first time I was asked a question about what I liked.
What did I like?
Nothing came to mind right away.
Because I did what I was given, what I needed to see, what I needed to do. There were a lot of things I disliked, but I couldn’t think of anything I liked.
So, when I thought about answering that I don’t like all sweets, I remembered.
what i like
“…… strawberry.”
That’s why I responded so late.
Hina nodded her head loudly and moved her hand. Plantz’s gaze also moved along with the fingertips.
– Next time, I will ask the chef to bring you strawberry ice cream.
There were words I didn’t know this time, but I knew what they meant. I could also see that my irritated mood had subsided due to the cat that I liked and the maid asking me what I liked.
So Plantz nodded and answered.
“okay.”
I didn’t ask what exactly it meant.
My younger brother, who is determined to save my life, says he will tell me everything. I thought I might have to clear my head a bit to learn it. So I decided to ask later what the words I didn’t know were.
When Planz brought his favorite strawberry-flavored ice cream.
* * *
Kalian listens really well to Alan.
I listened carefully to Alan’s words not to use a knife and picked up a club. He took out a stick and chopped down Gray.
Kalian listens really well to Planz.
Strictly speaking, he didn’t speak first, but I knew he was worried that he might take out a knife or a club. So this time, I didn’t take out a knife or a club.
but.
I didn’t say I wouldn’t get angry.
– Tap, tap, tap.
Calian didn’t pay attention to anyone. He was walking in without saying anything or showing any expression. slowly.
Even though that’s all, it’s overwhelming.
It feels like the sound of shoes approaching at a leisurely pace is shaking the training ground at Wilhelm Hall. Just one more person came into the place where there were already fifty-one people, and the atmosphere changed.
They were not just adults, not just nobles, but they were completely suppressing the Balkan magicians who were all said to have outstanding abilities.
After learning that the queen’s residence was destroyed, the wizard’s face, which had been saying things like ‘Oh my gosh’, hardened. The faces of the wizards lined up in front of him turned pale.
The low sound of shoes stopped next to Arsene.
The eyes of the wizards followed the stopped sound.
The real owner of the Balkans they called out with their own words.
It was towards Kalyan.
“Vice-corps commander Hertz.”
It was Arsene who had already experienced Calian’s murderous spirit that had been coming from an unseen place when Calian was dealing with Gray a long time ago. Compared to that time, the current momentum was nothing.
Despite knowing this, Arsene took a deep breath when his name was called. Only after that was I able to answer ‘yes’.
Calian, who looked at Arsene for a moment, opened his mouth.
“I will do it.”
I will scold you. I will punish you. I will speak well. Let me warn you. Not like this.
I will kill them all.
That’s the simplest.
It sounds like this.
Arsene nodded, trying to ignore the translation in his mind. Kalyan wants to step forward, so how can we stop him? I also thought that this was something I needed to properly inform people about.
“Please do so, my prince.”
With Arsene’s answer, Calian turned towards the wizards.
I feel like my heart is burning as I see the red eyes staring at each of the thirteen wizards.
“Are these them? “It has nothing to do with Vulcan.”
He asks this even though he probably already knows.
Arsene didn’t answer and the wizards lowered their heads.
There was no need for another answer. So Calian took a step towards the wizards. He was very quiet with that. A voice settled in everyone’s ears.
“What should we do?”
A truly murderous spirit rose up.
As if what had just happened a little while ago was just a greeting to look at me. An eerie aura, as if tens of thousands of blades were cutting through the entire body, filled the wizards. “ I
thought they were the ones who were alive and would be in my arms as long as they breathed. “I am.”
The color disappeared from the wizards’ faces once again.
A shallow sense of responsibility to protect the honor of Balkan. A
belated worry that no harm should be done to those in charge of Balkan. Just a word to separate the wizards from the members of Balkan. Just a quick thought.
I now realize that because of these things, I have somehow escaped the confines of ‘Calian’, who can somehow protect and take responsibility for them. “You guys are
Vulcans inside the palace and wizards outside. I don’t need you either.”
Calian’s arms . The wizards who had escaped on their own feet
bowed their heads deeply.
