Chapter 53. He seemed to have no reason (5) and
poison seeped all over his body.
The most serious thing was the inside of the body, followed by the exposed waist. The back was the last, as it was just a cut.
Therefore, the power of blessing healed Kalian in exactly that order. Hina, who had to treat Louise together, focused on stuffing the insides and filling in the flesh instead of treating all the wounds at once.
Thanks to this, a long bright red scar that looked as if it had been soaked with blood remained on this fair, fair back.
“I’m going to cry.”
I’m going to cry.
Jan will definitely cry when she sees this. I can assure you.
Kirie, who was thinking the same thing, helped me with clothes and spoke to me.
“Are you talking about Confucius?”
“Yes. If my baby elephant cries, my fiancé won’t stay still. What should I do?”
Although he is holding back the thought of running out and turning everything upside down, he looks very relaxed on the outside. Knowing that, Kirie just laughed quietly. While Calian suppressed the thought, Kirie suppressed her sorrow upon seeing the scar. What should she do? All we could do was laugh along with Kalyan.
“Just in case, don’t tell your brother.”
“I understand, prince.”
“Don’t even tell Jan why you got hurt.”
“yes.”
Kyrie answered, attaching ruby cuffs to the sleeves of her black shirt. He also added a gold decoration with a small ruby on the end of the shirt collar.
“Go and rest. You probably couldn’t sleep.”
“All right.”
Kyrie, who even helped her put on the black jacket with black embroidery, nodded. I thought I should rest when I can so I wouldn’t have to worry about it later, so without a second thought, I went to my room and went to sleep.
After completing all preparations, Kalian took a moment to look in the mirror and then took a step forward.

Kairis in the middle of winter is covered in ice even in the wind.
In the middle of winter, the secretia was still in bloom.
Of course, most flowers that can bloom only in warm weather from spring to fall fade and disappear, but there were flowers that bloomed nonetheless. It was completely different from the winter of Kairis, where the harsh winds never ceased, as if threatening to take away not only flowers but all living, breathing life.
However, what is difficult to understand is that it is the Cairis people who survive such a harsh winter, but it is the Secretians who endure the harshest winter.
Like the wild flowers that bloom all winter and the cynasta that blooms once more under the moonlight even after it has already faded, the people of Secretia are truly cruel. Some say it’s because he resembles the great king of Secretia, who erased his life by cutting it out with his own hands, while others say it’s because he lives his whole life pickled in sea salt. There is no way to prove it, so in the end they are just words.
No one knew why the people who made their home in this beautiful land of Secretia had such terrible dispositions.
So Plantz didn’t try to understand either.
“You’re eating well.”
About the reason why my brother’s stomach is as wide as the sea of Secretia.
Just as I had already given up on understanding Kalyan countless times, I just gave up comfortably today. I ended up thinking that my stomach must have changed terribly because I was born and raised in the land of Secretia.
In fact, it wasn’t even a day or two that I saw Calian eating well. I also witnessed the rare sight of several bananas being eaten on the spot. It was the first time that Planz had dared to open his mouth and mention the amount of food Calian had eaten. I ate that much. No, I was eating.
“It’s delicious since it’s been a while since I ate it.”
“…… okay.”
When I came to see him after hearing that he had opened his eyes, there was already a banana with only the skin left on it.
Afterwards, he finished off a plate of soup made with finely ground corn and onions with graceful movements, and then ate two plates of lamb steak in a civilized manner. After that, he silently stuffed three fist-sized pieces of white bread into his mouth and, in an elegant manner, finished off three plates of sea mussels, oysters, and shrimp grilled with garlic.
Oh, a grilled lobster the size of that guy’s forearm also went into that noble stomach. It’s annoying to even remember what was on the small plate that disappeared from time to time.
“Isn’t it because my brother doesn’t eat that much that it looks like I’m eating a lot?”
Don’t be funny.
I would rather admit that Hina has grown taller.
I knew very well that if I answered like this, it was my younger brother who would give me back the knife I threw last year and demonstrate how to throw a knife like an expert. So Planz just looked down for a moment at the plate of steak and salad he had emptied and the half slice of white bread he had left behind.
After finishing the meal, Calian drank two glasses of carbonated water with mint leaves as if to relieve some of his fatigue. When he heard that his younger brother had opened his eyes, he came over and looked at Planz, who was having a meal with him in a fluid manner. And as he was about to ask something, Plantz’s mouth opened first.
“The body.”
“it’s okay.”
This does not mean that everything is completely healed.
This means that you can move moderately, use your head more, and be able to draw your sword when necessary.
“Are you asleep?”
“are you okay.”
That doesn’t mean I slept comfortably.
“yes.”
Just because I told you that peas were the color of peas doesn’t mean I can forget the feeling of cutting out someone’s heart with my own hands. I wouldn’t have pulled out the sword without knowing that from the beginning, so I just gave a short answer.
“I don’t know how many days have passed now.”
“three days.”
“You slept for a long time. How is your mother?”
“The situation is not bad. Not yet.”
It wasn’t that his condition had gotten worse, but he had not yet come to his senses. It is only natural that Kalian is the only one in this world who does not have the power of blessing and is as terrible as Kalyan.
“Because I have Hina, I don’t have to worry about things getting worse again.”
Calian, who nodded and spoke, looked at Plantz for a while and then opened his mouth again.
“My brother took everything, including the ring and bracelet, and Jan is no more. Kirie has been by my side the whole time. I don’t even know what I need to know.”
“Nothing happened.”
“Brother, if you keep lying like that, you won’t grow taller.”
“Bark.”
“Please tell me before you bark any more.”
Calian answered with a bright smile.
Judging by his appearance, he has no intention of resting any further. One short sigh and one long word came out of Planz’s mouth.
“Hina is being treated, and my brother’s new subordinate was in charge of guarding her. The head of the Secretia Wizards’ Association was arrested, and Marquis Lin was released. The Marquis of Manasil contacted Rivern, and Siren Siren and Sir Grace are going in and out of the Wizards’ Association to sort it out. The blue-haired crazy guy. “I saw the wizard raising ducks in the garden, and Lady Lin was angry with her brother. That’s about it.”
“…… hmm.”
Confusing.
What on earth happened for three days?
Things that I understand, things that I don’t understand, things that should happen, things that I don’t think should happen, and things that I don’t know why are all mixed up and going crazy.
Calian caught the edge of all the confusion and asked a question that didn’t seem like a question.
“Why Arianne…?”
“My brother’s new subordinate knocked me out.”
There is only one way for Aela to knock someone out.
“Could it be that Aila hit Arianne?”
“I was trying to get data.”
Plantz seemed to be annoyed and told a little more about the situation.
Calian, guessing what had happened, lowered his head. I tried to hold back the feeling I felt for the first time in a long time, but I couldn’t help it and just burst into laughter.
It’s funny that the prince’s subordinate knocked out the daughter of a marquis from a foreign country.
“Shouldn’t you pay attention to your hands?”
“I probably did it because it was necessary.”
“It seems like Lady Lin doesn’t completely trust us.”
“Isn’t it a strange thing to believe? Arianne is not that immature.”
“What if Marquis Lin or Devlan make a problem?”
“Brother Chase will somehow be able to prevent that. It’s okay.”
Plantz frowned as he thought about Chase, who seemed to be completely caught up in Arianne. It means that I don’t trust Kalian’s words.
“The reason Devlan betrothed Chase to Arianne was because he knew that Marquis Lynn, who was worried about Arianne’s safety, would lower his voice. Since they were very close to each other from the beginning, neither of them had any antipathy towards the betrothal. In fact, it was a royal family. “Partners usually come together for different reasons, as you know.”
He says something random again.
Calian seemed to have sensed that thought and smiled a little more before continuing.
“When there are two brothers, if one of them is from such a great family, there is a lot of interest in who the other one will be. It could be a fight between families for the throne. But the other one has no interest in the throne at all. “If they don’t have one, they aren’t that special of a relationship, they don’t see each other for a long time because they are busy, and they even choose an aspiring knight without a family as their betrothed.”
It’s not like Planz wouldn’t have guessed who the aspiring knight would be.
Plantz, who was generally not surprised by Calian’s words, seemed to be a little surprised by these words, and the hand that lifted and put down the cup containing the drink paused for a moment and then moved.
“So Brother Chase, there won’t be any problem. You don’t have to worry.”
“…… okay.”
“More than that. Could you please return the ring and bracelet now?”
Calian, who decided to just listen to Chase or Allen explain the situation, which was not helpful at all, said this.
The request followed so naturally that without even realizing it, Plantz became a little busy thinking about how old the king would have been if he had only had an arranged marriage without a state marriage. He thought that he would never return the ring and bracelet until Calian was completely healed. I forgot to take them out and put them on the table.
Calian grinned.
Plantz was smart, but Calian was skilled.
* * *
And that’s it.
I opened my eyes for the first time in a long time and put on the clothes I liked. I ate bananas and rice. As soon as Alan saw Calian, he hugged him tightly in his warm arms and began to comfort him. Although I’m not refreshed, my physical condition has improved considerably and the feeling of endless relief from the undeserved amount of warmth feels like I’m falling into a pitch-black abyss.
Calian, who took a step out of Allen’s arms, lowered his head and let out a cold voice.
“Brother, you personally checked to see if the tea was poisoned…” He
did not show off in front of Devlan because he was confident that the tea was not poisoned, but to check whether the other person knew that he had ascended to the crown prince. I found out that it was an intentional act.
I decided to meet Plants later and talk about what happened so recklessly. There was another thing that made me angry right away.
“Are you saying that the tea went to Master?”
The person Plantz was trying to check, Meirin Ronds, the head of the Wizards Association of Secretia, did not hand Plantz the poisoned tea. If she had stopped there, she would have said it was a relief and moved on, but Meilin didn’t do that. The target was changed to Allen instead of Planz.
I handed the poison to Alan.
“It’s okay, so you don’t have to worry.”
The body is like that.
As Calian swallowed his words, a cold energy that seemed to pluck all the flowers blooming outside the window swirled around him and then quietened down.
I assumed that Alan would not be harmed by the poison, but I never tried to check or ask if it was true. I am afraid that Alan will once again recall the terrible assumption that if Alan, and not Ronil, his son, had drank the sweet liquor that he was said to have received as a gift from Riverne, no one would have died.
“From now on, I will make sure no one does something like that to you, Master.”
“Don’t blame yourself.”
He said not to think that this happened because he drank poison in front of Silike, and Louise found out about it, and Calian didn’t pierce Devlan’s heart without hesitation.
“I won’t.”
“That’s it.”
Alan answered as if nothing had happened and pointed to the sofa.
“Please stop talking about nothing interesting and just sit down.”
Calian frowned slightly, reluctantly nodded and sat down. And Alan looked at Calian with a calm face and opened his mouth.
“Marquis Lin has been released.”
“Yes. I heard that story, but I don’t know the exact details.”
Alan added, continuing to tell the story of how Maylin Ronds was arrested.
“A large-scale investigation into the Wizards’ Association is in progress, so there isn’t usually a lot of work there. Thanks to that, Marquis Lin was eventually released. And since this matter is related not only to the Wizards’ Association but also to Zeon, I contacted Elin as well. “I did. Please take note that I said I would send a trustworthy person from the Wizards Association to investigate.”
“All right.”
Calian nodded.
And I posted a name that I didn’t want to say out loud.
“Devlan…what is he doing now?”
“It’s quiet.”
“There is no indication that the condition has worsened or any other reason.”
“Yes. It’s just quiet.”
“It’s unsettling. I don’t think I’ll be afraid just because my teacher is here.”
Alan delivered a proper warning to Devlan, who had laid his hands on Calian without paying attention to what forces were hiding in his country. Alan Manasil, Baron of Secretia, will change one thing, whether it’s changing the map of Secretia or the owner.
“Aren’t you the type of person who won’t make a hasty move?”
“If it were Evan, I would have held my breath and looked at the situation after hearing that, but Devlan is not the type of person to do that. He is not the person to spend three days meaninglessly.”
Alan, who heard the cautionary words, smiled and answered.
“It wouldn’t have been meaningless.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Isn’t it the birthday of Crown Prince Planz that the day the prince fell asleep?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Now that I think about it, I guess I did a good job of giving gifts in advance.
I came here even selling my birthday gift, but I almost got resented for being my younger brother who just slept around without giving me a birthday present.
“Crown Prince Planz went out of the palace that night.”
“… again.”
“I am Lord Hertz and Siren, and I have been dragging you along, so there is no need to criticize me for anything.”
“What did you do, dragging me along like that?”
“I have seen very well what our prince has taught you.”
“What do I do?”
When Alan remembered that incident, he couldn’t help but smile. When Calian frowned, feeling anxious about what on earth he was doing.
“Isn’t it true that when a person is drunk, he or she does not distinguish between time and place?”
Alan, who said this, eventually burst into laughter and told the story of that day.
That night.
A nobleman’s mansion that is extremely quiet.
– I was attacked early this morning and almost drank poison this morning, but I’m still alive, so I should celebrate.
– Wouldn’t you like to receive your congratulations inside the palace, Crown Prince Plants?
In that quiet place, they argued loudly and asked if there was a single noble of Secretia who would give a toast to the crown prince of Kairis.
– Blue-haired wizard.
– Yes sir.
He has a pale face, wears luxurious clothes, rides a white horse, and leads the blue-haired wizard and the purple-haired wizard who fought to destroy the Wizard’s Association.
I spread the rumor all over the place with my own words.
– Your Majesty here is said to be seriously ill, and your concubine says she collapsed after drinking the poison that I was unable to drink. Celebrating inside the palace. I think like Briesen, so it’s not for nothing that I lost my position as vice commander.
– I’d rather swear. I’m telling you this because it’s dangerous.
– today. On the day I was born I said I would congratulate myself. Since my only brother is lying there injured, shouldn’t I find someone else to celebrate?
King Secretia’s illness is serious.
Louise drank poison and collapsed.
Someone had dared to assassinate the crown prince and prince of Kairis. Plants and Briesen are not on good terms. The relationship between Plantz and Calian is not bad.
“……under.”
Calian stood up.
It was not the time to sit down and spend time.
“You learned it well.”
Calian’s image was reflected in the mirror once again.
The completely black outfit is reminiscent of stylish mourning clothes.
It didn’t look that bad.
