Chapter 53. He seemed irrational (2) and
had no intention of bringing Hina.
Wasn’t it a journey that started as if Kaliando was dragged by Plantz from the beginning? It was not a situation where the crazy blue-haired Takkari and Rachel, or Kalian, who had barely taken care of anything, could bring about this personnel directly.
Even if Kalian had been able to decide who would come here, Hina would never have come. Louise’s illness was not serious right now, and Calian and Plantz, who always cared for themselves, had the power of blessing.
When I saw Eila among the group, I felt a part of my heart grow heavy at the thought that she had finally followed, but that was it. I didn’t even think about the fact that Aela was just diligently carrying out Calian’s words, ‘Stay by Hina’s side.’
If I had known from the beginning that Hina would come with me, I would worry that if we went out on the road together on this winter day, would the wind blow us away, would the snow fall and bury us? Would our hands or feet freeze on this cold day? Would every inch of our skin become dry in the salty air of Secretia? There would not have been a day when Kalyan would have been worried about our precious Hina, whom there was no way to separate from his heart.
So Plantz just didn’t say anything.
By the time Calian, who found it strange that Coco, who had left Arsene’s embrace, was unusually good at following one knight, noticed something strange, the border was already around the corner.
I can’t grab my big brother, who is as soft and gentle as a spinach sprout, by the collar twice, so what can I do? When I got back, I thought I’d have some sparring with him, so I came to Secretia with Hina. I thought it would be strange if I paid too much attention to the knights, so I tried hard not to pay attention and held back tears.
Let me just point out at this point that Hina is older. He is two years older.
Well, anyway.
I don’t know what else the princes were going to do, but it was clear that they were going to a dangerous place, so Hina went first. I persuaded Plantz that he could borrow Aila’s amazing disguise magic tool.
To Hina, who feels lucky that she followed along like that
– what would you have done if I hadn’t come with you?
Kalyan was very scolded.
“Hina. I think I’m feeling better. Starting tomorrow, I’ll…”
– Even if it takes longer, you two will be treated together, so don’t say anything. If you say that one more time, I won’t talk to the gentle prince.
Moreover, I heard the scariest thing in the world.
– Do you know how upsetting it is to other people to walk around without showing signs of pain?
Plantz wasn’t the only person with a lot to learn. Calian, who had not yet gotten rid of the habit of someone who had spent his life without any time to think deeply about such things, just laughed.
– Even if you look at me like that, I won’t give a damn.
I felt sad.
The number of people who do not understand a pretty face has increased by one.
“Okay. I’ll be careful. I’ll be really careful, Hina. I’ll also tell you about the pain.”
In the end, Hina, who made Kalian say these words one more time, nodded.
In any case, Hina was overexerting herself, treating more wounds and not being able to get a good rest. It was the first time treating two people at the same time. It was a situation where I couldn’t stay in Louise’s room for a long time. In addition, since I didn’t know what would happen in the future, I couldn’t leave Hina out.
Therefore, Hina decided to visit Louise every day and provide treatment. Kalyan also did not refuse and promised to receive a little bit of treatment every day.
– smart.
And then.
“This is Crown Prince Plants of Kairis. What should we do?”
Teilan approached me and asked:
Hina was still treating Calian and Louise, so Chase just nodded without saying a word.
Soon the door opened and Plants came rushing in.
Hina’s head turned towards Plants. A sigh escaped Hina’s mouth as she checked Plantz’s complexion again.
The number of patients increased by one.
First, Hina decided to treat all three to the extent that they were not in immediate danger and save their stamina, and spoke to Planz.
– Come this way.
Calian, who felt that Hina was going to heal the three people, felt that it was easier to move, and gave up her seat to Plantz. A smile of conversion was on Calian’s lips.
Brother, you will be scolded too.
Plantz frowned slightly when he saw this meaningful smile, but was there any other way? Plantz, who went to the spot where Kalian was sitting, gently held Hina’s wrist, and Hina’s hands became busy as usual.
Calian, who listened to Plantz’ words repeatedly saying ‘Okay’ with a slightly unfamiliar face other than withering or pickling, turned his head after seeing Hina begin treatment again. And after patting Chase, who still didn’t say anything, on the shoulder a few times, he pointed toward the terrace.
“Would you like to talk for a moment?”
“okay.”
Chase nodded.
Soon, Calian passed by Louise who was sleeping, Hina who had her hand on Plantz’s arm, and Tailan who was guarding her side, and went out to the terrace. Chase followed quietly.
Originally, it was not calculated that Kalian and Plantz would receive treatment from Hina, but it was inevitable. There was still some time left for Arsene to come, so all he had to do was get treatment first and move diligently as Hina said.
Thanks to the leisure I gained for a moment, I was able to stop for a moment. I lifted the dark curtain and took a step to stand on the terrace, where I could see the large garden at a glance.
“Please sit down, brother.”
Chase’s room.
A long terrace there. Glass table and black chairs. The first place I came to. Calian, who was looking around the scenery without any unfamiliar feeling, walked naturally to a chair, sat down, and said.
“Hina is a child who is good at fixing anything, so you can rest assured. We decided to treat her little by little, so it will take a few days, but she will get better soon. Don’t worry too much.”
“That doesn’t really tell you how you are.”
“I am.”
What should I talk about?
How can I tell you not to worry?
Kalian, who had forgotten everything Hina said and was thinking about this again, opened his mouth quietly.
“… My waist was torn open by a serrated sword. The poison that had seeped inside spread to the area near my heart and my internal organs were damaged. There was also a stab wound on my back, and my spine was almost severed. I woke up after a good night’s sleep after being hurt like that. “I came here. I was detoxified, but my wounds were still there, and my melted insides were barely filling up again thanks to the power of the blessing, and Hina just let me eat.”
Chase’s eyes closed tightly.
Instead of asking if you are okay, you should ask how you are alive and moving.
“It hurts a lot. If someone attacks me right now, I might die. It hurts to move.”
“okay.”
Calian, who calmly dismissed and explained his condition again, laughed slightly.
“I wasn’t the only one who was hurt. Brother Planz was also quite injured. But I came. I handed over the crown prince’s position to Brother Planz and prevented the assassins from coming, and I came knowing that it would be dangerous, but I endured the pain to the point of death. I didn’t know why he told me not to come, so I came without any hesitation. “It’s not that I wanted to save my mother. I came because I could save her.”
Chase’s head moved up and down quietly.
Calian, who had been watching Chase for a while, opened his mouth again.
“I know that it’s your fault that Secretia’s insides are so festering. I think you’re very sorry for not being able to properly look at the situation, so stop straightening your face.”
Are you saying you want to comfort me or add to the burden on your heart?
Chase let out a soft laugh without realizing it at the words that Calian, who had never tried comforting before, had found difficult in his own way.
Anyway, Chase seems to have come to his senses a little. Calian turned his head. I could see the garden illuminated by long afternoon sunlight, and in the distance, the annex where Louise was staying caught my eye.
“I never thought I’d see you again. I’d forgotten you were like this.”
I climbed the spire that was looking up from somewhere outside the castle and entered the garden. I went into Bern’s room in the annex and the villa. I also went to the royal sea.
“… I didn’t even know that I would see my brother living in such a strange way.”
There is a fireplace, a bed, and a bathroom with a white bathtub. One sofa and one desk. One bookshelf. A room that is everything. dark room. A simple room. A room as desolate as the room in Deanna’s villa.
“Why did you come here and leave your room?”
I finally realized that I had come to Kairis after decorating the same room that Bern had stayed in and growing my hair there like Bern had done.
“When I came to my senses, I saw that I was doing that.”
Calian nodded quietly and Chase sat quietly across from him.
However, his gaze was not directed towards the garden or Kalian. Louise lying on the darkly lit bed seen beyond the terrace. It was aimed at Hina and Plantz who were sitting next to him.
Chase said after looking at it for a while.
“I watched your last days, and my mother saw mine last days, and Arianne seems to have sent her mother away first… There is a person by my mother’s side who would have watched it all. I don’t have any other worries about that. “What should I say?”
“Well, what should I say? It might be appropriate to say it’s strange. I always said it was fun, though.”
As if he had finished speaking or stopped.
Calian’s mouth closed quietly.
“I thought it would never happen again.”
Then, after a while, it quietly opened again.
“Seeing Cinastar rise into the sky. Seeing the sea. Climbing the spire, sleeping in that villa, coming to this room. Meeting my mother. Sitting next to my brother and talking with him. I thought I would never be able to do all of that again. “But now that I’ve achieved it again, it’s right to say that it’s fun.”
“okay.”
Calian shook his head and said another word with an expression that seemed to have just occurred to him.
“He told me to come back here and stay again when everything is over.”
As Calian said that, his eyes moved to Plantz and then back to Chase. Chase, who was watching this, asked in a soft voice.
“Did you say that?”
“Yes. I heard that.”
What answer did Kalian give to Planz that day? What would Chase think of that? didn’t say anything
“I’m using your room now. What should I do about it?”
He just said this.
Calian nodded and laughed along.

My mother probably chose poison the same way I did.
It’s probably because he didn’t want Devlan to kill his children with his own hands.
but. well.
* * *
Alan looked at Devlan.
‘Looking at his mother, he would have known who his son was. I would have thought it was nice to see you.’
Why did Louise make that choice? The last words Calian told me before coming here never left my mind.
‘but. well. I wonder if that is the kind of welcome that my mother would have wanted.’
As soon as I saw the soft smile on Devlan’s face, I said yes. I guess it wasn’t a pleasure in that sense. do.
I found out.
“When I return, I will definitely give my student a hug.”
I need to hug her with all my arms again and pat her and tell her that everything is okay now. That’s what I thought.
While I’m giving you a hug, I also have to give a hug to the guy who’s been acting like an asshole thanks to my student. I had the same thought. I think that guy who seems to be a bit excited about being a bitch will really hate it.
“Baron Manasil is more than I thought…”
“I have met your father, the late King.”
Alan, who cut off Devlan’s words, opened his mouth.
“He was similar to the current Crown Prince Chase, but had slightly different eyes. I had never seen such light purple eyes anywhere, so I thought that was really amazing.”
After saying this, Alan tapped the teacup in front of him. As always in front of Lemain, white frost formed on the hot teacup and the tea cooled down quickly. Alan continued speaking after taking a sip of the cold tea and putting it down.
“I thought it was truly an honor to be given a baronetcy by someone like him because he is someone who knows how to make a benevolent smile. This Secretia will be blessed for a long time to come. I thought so.”
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen someone who knows my father. It’s nice to see you.”
“It must have been a long time. When you raised a sword against Your Highness’s father to get to that position, you must have destroyed them all together, so how could you not be happy about it?”
Devlan laughed.
“It seems like you care more about your student than I thought. The thorn in your words is quite painful.”
“How did you feel when you saw your father looking at you with those joyful eyes? Thinking about that makes me feel like a thousand dollars inside. So don’t say that this thorn hurts at all.”
Devlan nodded quietly.
However, it was neither a positive nor a negative meaning.
“I understand very well that you did not come here with good intentions.”
Alan also nodded.
“So now, tell me. What will you give me so that I can return to this country without causing any harm?”
“I heard news about my daughter-in-law and the boy who was helping me with my work, but I wondered if my ears were wrong.”
“I don’t know what I heard, but I think I heard the wrong news. He said he would return here later today after interacting with the wizards here for a while.”
“Then I’m glad.”
Alan answered briefly and briefly raised his hand to caress his temple.
“Seeing you care so much…”
I got a headache.
Alan paused for a moment and smiled slightly at Devlan. Sharp eyes created soft curves.
“Your Highness probably doesn’t know what kind of person I am.”
Alan took a deep breath for a moment, raised his hand from massaging his temple, and covered his mouth. Then he coughed loudly a few times and took another breath. Then he lowered his hand and put something down on the table.
– Tuk.
Something that looked like a lump of black, round clay was placed on the table.
It was the poison in Alan’s tea that I had just heard about.
“I didn’t know that I had these people around me who were causing such serious mischief, and I’m thinking of arresting my son first… I don’t think they are great people who can be corrected by telling them to come to their senses, whether they are hiding in this country, so what can we do? .”
Alan let out a short sigh as he said this and continued.
“I have no choice but to get rid of it all, so please know that.”
Devlan frowned slightly when he heard those words.
