Chapter 44. Lest you forget (4)
A fun story.
Very exciting.
I felt empty because I ate meat and had a hole in my stomach, but while I was taking revenge on Planz for eating the meat well in front of my pitiful younger brother who was also very empty because I couldn’t even eat rice, I came up to check whether the pea kernels were boiled again or not. I heard something I never expected.
executed criminal.
Lennon Brissen No. Now that the last name is gone, it’s just Lennon. A person who sold a sacred item to Count Hale Latran, who was associated with Lennon, and bought Kairis’ information. The person who handed over the information about Kairis that he dug up to Secretia and used the new items to make money.
Above all, the person who attacked Kalyan.
Therefore, the person who climbed onto the Renicita leaf in the square was accused of attacking the royal family.
‘man.’
Plantz did not ask whether the person he saw was really a man.
Because Plantz’s memory couldn’t have been wrong.
Instead, Calian briefly looked back on the memories of that time.
After the battle with Calian, he was captured by Siegfried’s knights and imprisoned. They didn’t put him in the same prison as Haley Latran. Siegfried’s knights, including Yuran, guarded the prison.
after that.
‘Kaera.’
Lemain sent the knight Caera to warn the nobles about Calian’s attack outside the palace. And the criminals were transported to the capital.
‘Sejak, who was a knight of Kaera.’
okay. It was Kaera.
The Sejak who died in front of Planz was Kaera, who was hiding.
The knights of the royal palace who came to the Ratran estate where they were staying at the time stayed there for just one day and transported the criminals to the capital. After the arrival of the men from the palace, Siegfried’s knights no longer guarded the prison. And Kalyan.
‘You didn’t tell me your name.’
The identity of the criminal was not disclosed to the royal palace.
The palace was told that it was an unidentified assassin.
At that time, Kalian needed information on Hail Latran’s transactions. Therefore, he said that if he handed it over, he would keep the fact that it was Sejak a secret. He said he would ensure that the sentence is carried out immediately without any interrogation or investigation. Therefore, his identity and name were not announced to the royal palace. In fact, it would be correct to say that it was impossible to explain how Calian knew its identity.
‘He was good at disguise.’
He enjoyed using magic items for disguise that were provided to a very small number of ministers in Secretia. I dressed up as a man.
Hale Latran, who was also captured, was only seen disguised as a man. They never encountered each other in prison and were probably not together during transportation. Hail Latran was a nobleman before he was stripped of his title in the capital.
However, it would not have been possible to maintain male attire even after coming to the capital. Because all of my belongings are confiscated. So, it means that the person who died in the square was not a man dressed as a man, but a real man.
That means.
‘…Change.’
At the moment when Siegfried’s knights were handing over criminals to Caera’s knights in Latran territory, they may have disguised themselves as men and swapped with someone else. no. After the fight ended, Kalian left immediately, and right after that, Yuran and the knights came in and arrested him, so he may have already disguised himself as a man at that moment.
Since his appearance was so outstanding, if he wanted to change midway, it would have been better to disguise himself as a man again.
As a result, if the criminal who ended up standing in the square was a real man.
then.
If so.
‘then. If so.’
Lucy, who had been on Calian’s lap for a moment, jumped up and ran into Plantz’s bedroom.
‘I am Prince Planz’s cat who likes him.’
The cat ran together.
Calian, who was following the two cats with his eyes, quietly raised his hand and covered his face. The lips visible beneath the palm of one’s hand were smiling quite happily.
“ah.”
Blue Warbler.
Ayla.
“… It’s you.”
found.

The number of knights in Balkan has decreased.
This is because among the existing knights, those who could not be fully brought into Plantz’s hands were selected and sent away without exception.
Immediately after that, the number of Balkan knights exploded.
This is because the knights gathered and sent by Count Eifrin, who was in Siegfried, officially joined the Balkans.
The number of people was reduced and then increased again, but the number of new knights was much higher, and as a result, the size of the Balkan Knights increased significantly.
“The knights who left the royal palace will return to the Marquis of Gray Briesen or the Marquis of Briesen. Would it be okay for them to replenish their strength like that?”
Arsene, who received the document that recorded the training process and performance of the newly increased knights just before coming to the palace, nodded and answered as if it was no big deal.
“The number of marquis knights that the prince reduced was very large, wasn’t it? Moreover, the new Marquis Briesen is the one who knows the most painfully what kind of person the prince is, so even if the number of people increases, he will not be able to act hastily.”
“Isn’t his personality and behavior no less than Evan’s? His future actions will never be transparent, so I think we need to be careful and be on our guard to avoid harm.”
Arsene looked down at the teacup filled with hibiscus petals and smiled. It was because I thought of eyes that were very similar to the red color of that car.
“There is a Vulcan behind the prince, Duke.”
Arsene raised his eyes, which were the opposite color of tea, and said this as he looked at Demirea who was sitting across from him.
“And I don’t think the prince wants Marquis Briesen to remain silent forever. That may be the reason why His Majesty and Commander Manasil kept all of the knighthoods when they sent out the knights. He will grow back in size, and when the time is right, the prince. “I need to pass the seat once…”
Arsene, who was speaking while raising his index finger, raised his other hand and pretended to bend the raised finger before continuing.
“Wouldn’t you be able to break that back again?”
In Calian’s plan, Gray is only a temporary marquis. Arsene, who heard from Alan why Calian kept Gray alive, picked up his tea cup and took a sip.
– Knock knock.
At that time, a small knock was heard.
A little late in the evening.
There were no more guests to visit, and the butler had not yet returned after going out to personally return the sudden gifts sent by various noble families.
When the knocking sound was heard from below, Demirea got up with a slight smile and opened the door. When Arsene saw the person standing outside the door, he made a somewhat complicated face.
A young child with turquoise hair and eyes.
“Liri.”
“I can’t sleep.”
The child who saw Demirea said this and stretched out his arms.
“Okay. Come here.”
Instead of calling the servants and telling them to take the child and put him to sleep, Demirea nodded, lifted the child into her arms, and spoke to Arsene.
“Could you please wait a moment?”
“Ah… yes, I understand.”
After Demirea went out, Arsene looked at the closed door for a moment and let out a small sigh. There was no need to ask who the child was.
The child resembles Evan. Gray resembles Lennon and Silike. It resembles Planz.
When the red water in the teacup was half gone, Demirea returned.
“Is that the kid? He was behind Evan’s body.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“How is your personality?”
Although Arsene really cherishes small and cute things, it was difficult to look at the small and cute Briesen’s bloodline without prejudice. So, I actually wanted to ask, ‘Are you smart?’, but that’s not something to say about a young child, so I just asked about his personality.
“You’re brilliant.”
And Demirea continued speaking after giving the answer to the hidden question.
“He said he woke up and there was a commotion outside, so he went out. Prince Calian stopped his hand and Evan stabbed him. Prince Calian lied and said he was dreaming, and he went back to sleep.”
“If you know the real reason why Evan died, which is different from what the royal family revealed, wouldn’t it be better to send him to the Duchy of Siegfried?”
“He said that his grandfather’s death was a ‘just result.’”
It is said that the child named Riri did not hold a grudge against Evan’s death. It was said that the full story of Evan’s death would never be revealed through the child’s mouth.
“But, Duke. We look too much alike to allow him to stay in the capital. It will not have a good influence on the Prince and Prince Planz.”
“I’m six years old.”
Demirea looked at Arsene.
“But he knows how and for what purpose he was sent to that house. He pretends not to know. Vice Commander Hertz,”
he asked with a small smile.
“Are you the kind of person who can send a child like that to another place? Even though that place is my home, I know that it is just another unfamiliar place for the child.”
Arsene took a deep sigh.
“… I understand. I won’t worry about him or say anything else.”
Because I was reminded of the child’s arms outstretched towards Dmirea, I couldn’t interfere any longer with leaving Calian and Planz alone.
Then, Arsene’s face suddenly turned blue.
When I thought of my child, Planz came to mind.
Then I remembered the day Plantz lay down sick. Naturally, I thought of Hina, who had treated such a planz, and Randel, who suddenly came and fixed the planz and then left indifferently.
‘I will convey Prince Randel’s words to him.’
And I remembered myself saying this.
Thanks to this, Arsene put aside his worries about the child and began to think deeply about his future.
It wasn’t because I forgot to convey Prince Randel’s words.
This was because he had now realized that in order to convey Randel’s words to Calian, he would have to explain where he met Randel, and to do so, he would also have to tell him what Randel had allowed Plantz to do.

I don’t know if my liking for birds is hereditary.
The father also raises birds, and the son also raises birds.
They said they were raising the birds jointly, but it turned out that there were several birds that were secretly raised by each other, and the birds fought with each other, and there was a strange family where the rich and rich even competed with each other over their birds. It would be too much for my family to criticize that family. I found a bird that was hiding in my house, so I couldn’t even curse that family because it was strange. however.
“……
“Aila.” I don’t know exactly what he did in his previous life, but it’s clear that he did something very dangerous. He was the second son of the family that I like a lot, so my younger brother, who often upsets people who see him, is asking whose name he is now. He was singing and really enjoying it.
Plantz, who had been acting like he was out of his mind just now, saying he had to apologize to my cat when he saw my cat, suddenly became moody while eating meat, quietly opened his mouth. “Kalian.” Calian’s eyes turned towards
Plantz
. He came back.
Calian opened his mouth softly to Plantz, who was looking at him without another word.
“I didn’t forget.”
After that, he picked up the fork and knife again.
He lost his appetite by talking about people dying, and now he is lost in old memories. Planz looked at Calian, who had forgotten his name and continued to eat leisurely, with an annoyed face.
“What is it again?”
“I’m glad you’re smart, brother.”
The biggest piece of pork on the plate . Calian, who picked up the piece and ate it, answered,
“Now I think I know how the King of Secretia knows my work.”
Calian let out a short sigh and continued to explain what happened during the Rosellita period.
“In front of him . I revealed that I know the birds’ stronghold, I also told them that I know their real names, and that I am a sword master, so if they got out alive, it would be a big problem.” ”
My brother was very kind in telling me.”
“I didn’t know they would run away. Anyway, it looks like he’s still alive, so I’m a little worried who else besides King Secretia said those words.”
Planz, who had been silently watching the beef being put into the mouth of the guy who was worried about that, opened his mouth with a lot of effort to get the words out instead of swearing. .
“What are we going to do?”
“We have to find out where it is.”
“How.”
The new object Aela was looking for:
a black pebble.
It’s Zeon again.
Calian quietly raised his hand and pointed upstairs.
“I’ll have to go eat grapefruit.”
“When. ”
“Now.”
Calian, who had already told the resident there to come find him but had not yet received the information, grinned.
“…… Go down. I’m going up.”
Calian, with an unknown expression, stared at Planz without answering.
“Rest. “A little.”
If I were to interpret that expression, he seemed to be annoyed again, so Plantz said again.
“I’ll catch the snake.”
“Ah.”
Calian laughed.
I didn’t know what to do other than laugh, so I just laughed.
That’s it. Planz, who was watching, said something else.
“Now that I think about it. I heard that Brother Randel healed my heart and left.”
And.
“But when you first use magic, you usually say the starter word. The blue-haired wizard was flipping through some books, and I heard him say something called abtondant.”
This
meant that he should forget about hunting snakes and just think about the blue-haired wizard.
