Chapter 55. To hell, you (1)
are different on the outside and the inside.
Music, dancing, and friendly conversation continue, and the king, seeing the nobles, suspects their betrayal, and the crown prince, seeing the king like that, tries to find a gap in the king and cut him off. Outside, the swords of the King and the Marquis are sharpening their edges for each other.
In the midst of this commotion for different reasons, I spoke at length to Plantz. After that, Calian, who was sitting quietly as if he was falling asleep, came out of a long memory as if he was getting rid of alcohol.
“That’s strange.”
“what.”
It is a story that will be beneficial to Planz Rune Kairis, the grand duke, marquis, head of the Brisen family who is good at raising cats, and also the vice commander of the Vulcan army, as he continues to tell us what wildfire is like and what lesser people are like. However, it would be more accurate to say that it was a story that was given to me and not to be forgotten when it became ‘Planz Lu Lun Kairis’, which does not need any other modifiers.
And Planz had long since decided to treat it as just the process of Lemain revising his will once a month, or the process of princes, Demirea, and most nobles occasionally rewriting their wills. I knew that Calian did not say this with something in particular in mind, but that it was a preparation for an empty space that had become a habit or habit.
“It’s also fascinating.”
Therefore, Plantz, who had been carefully listening to his teachings without any further feelings about him, asked back with the drowsy face he often wore. It’s been a long time since I’ve gotten used to Calian’s random remarks.
“So. What.”
“The name is still Blue Warbler.”
“… My brother drank too much.”
Of course, just because you got used to it doesn’t mean you understand everything.
The younger brother, who had finished a bottle of strong liquor and was burning wild fire, was lost in thought or sleep, and what he said was his appreciation of the immutability of his new subordinate’s name. Doesn’t anyone look like he’s drunk?
“Stop drinking.”
“Thanks to my brother’s arrangements, my younger brother worked so hard, but can’t you see this one thing?”
It has not been that long since the adolescent crown prince, who promised to see the sea and eat grilled cod for his birthday, used a sword, rose in rank, and found a fiancé on his journey, and the prince who was kidnapped by the crown prince, set foot on the land of Secretia. didn’t however.
It was you, my scoundrel-like brother, who came forward to help me and wake me up from my nightmares, but it was I who suffered terribly, having my back torn apart, poisoned, and even getting scars on my pretty back in such a short period of time.
Calian, who suddenly felt aggrieved by this, stared at Planz for a moment and then tapped the empty glass he had just emptied.
“And anyway.”
I drank it all. anyway.
“Are you afraid that if people find out, there will be a rumor that the idiot who likes drinking was not the crown prince but the third prince?”
“I think it’s already too late.”
“It’s okay. It’s not too late. Lord Hertz said he was very impressed with the way you showed in front of the nobles’ mansion that day. Thanks to your strength, the bottle of Serenus I emptied won’t even be noticed by them.”
I regret not being able to see it with my own eyes.
I couldn’t watch it because I was sleeping because I was going to be teased for a long time.
“I am truly grateful that your gentle brother took such great care for my younger brother. Thanks to you, I was able to drink such good wine.”
“… My brother is barking more because he is drunk. Is he barking more when he is drunk?”
In fact, it hadn’t been that long since Calian started drinking. A glass of Himolica with Alan, a few glasses of Sizzlinu with Planz, and today a bottle of Serenus.
In particular, Serenus drank because his stomach was burning.
So this person sitting here. Since all I could see was mint and white, this person, who gave me a very refreshing feeling as if he was talking face to face with a cut cucumber kernel, came in with his arms around me and we drank it.
Also, since it was Serenus and Aela was across from me, I just drank a little more.
“Unlike my brother, my public personality is perfect, so I’m telling you that drinking this much won’t interfere with your ability to raise dogs in Camilon. Aren’t you acting like a big brother because you’re worried about that?”
“no.”
Calian, who was grinning, was about to say something when an attendant came over, removed the empty glass and bottle, and asked a question in a cautious voice.
“What kind of alcohol should I prepare for you?”
Calian, who had gained Silence, opened his mouth to answer.
“sparkling water.”
And this is how I heard the answer from Plants.
It is very rare for Plantz to respond this quickly to someone. Calian, who was watching the servant who bowed his head and walked away, burst into laughter.
“You keep not believing me when I say I’m not drunk.”
“Speak informally.”
“You don’t have to worry.”
“I won’t do it.”
“yes.”
Calian nodded, clearly disbelieving. Then he pointed to the spot where Eila was sitting just a moment ago and said.
“And I’m not saying this because I’m drunk, but because I’m really surprised. It’s still a green warbler.”
“If you weren’t drunk, I think you were confused about who the crown prince sitting next to you was.”
From earlier, he was saying things to Plantz that only Chase could understand.
Water droplets form on the glass of carbonated water that the servant brought me. Calian said, smiling inexplicably as he skimmed it with his fingertips.
“Rather than saying it’s amazing, I think it’s better to say it’s strange. I mean, when the old me first met Aila, she threw a magical bullet saying she was going to kill me.”
“It’s not the name that should be strange.”
A person, even a prince.
What on earth did he do for a living that the person he met for the first time would throw magic bullets at him, threatening to kill him? And what on earth was he thinking about taking in the man who threatened to kill him and making him his betrothed? Shouldn’t that be strange?
Shouldn’t I learn from my younger brother the way of a true fool or the correct attitude of a true drinker, rather than the correct attitude that a king should have?
While the Crown Prince, who had been criticized for unfastening a few more buttons and carefully pouring alcohol into the perfume bottle, was thinking about whether he was worried or resentful, Kalian continued speaking.
“But the magic bullet I threw killed a blue bird instead of me. That’s why I came up with the name, Blue Warbler. After that, Aila didn’t use magic bullets. Now she’s still using magic bullets really well, but not back then. “Anyway, because of what happened that day, I named the three birds that way, but this time, even though I wasn’t there, it was Blue Warbler. Same thing.”
“…Did you kill a bird again this time?”
“Yes. They said something like that happened. It wasn’t a magic bullet, but it accidentally hit a bird.”
Plantz’s eyes narrowed as he heard those words.
“Baron Fallun is alive. Hinado.”
“Yes, I know. People who should have died did not necessarily die. People who should have lived did not come back to life after death. One blue bird did not create a strange fatalism.”
“Then what is it?”
“If it wasn’t for those who were directly related to me, it wouldn’t have changed much. That’s what I thought. Aila is someone who changed because of me, so she has changed to the extent that I am gone. The same is true for most of the people who live here. Baron Melfir Fallun, too. “But it’s not the blue bird. So maybe it died on the day it was supposed to die.”
Plantz now understood that Calian was not simply discussing the fate of a blue bird. I also knew that I was not talking about my younger brother, who had given up his body to Kalian and left.
“Xeon.”
“yes.”
“It means it was there originally.”
“Yes. I vaguely thought that would be the case, but somehow I feel like I have been proven that way. Would it be selfish of me to say that I am relieved?”
There were so many things ruined due to Bern’s absence that I wonder if Xeon was also influenced by Bern. I wonder if the sudden spread of people who were completely unnoticed in the past may be because Bern returned in time and turned everything into a mess. I said I had less worries about that.
In the end, they try to take comfort in the belief that the fact that the blue bird, which was not directly related to Calian, lived and died as planned is proof that Zeon was also rampant in the past, regardless of Calian, but simply did not notice it. Thanks to Aila and her blue bird that suddenly came to visit.
“That’s what my brother thought about the whole time he stayed here.”
“Isn’t it similar? Just like my brother couldn’t shake off his worries about the war.”
“It wasn’t that part of me that felt guilty. Why?”
What Plants said in the city of elves.
This is what Bern said, not to die while trying to shake off the guilt of the life that was cut off.
“That’s right. It wasn’t that one.”
“Speak informally.”
“Anyway, since you don’t listen to me, I have no choice but to stop listening to you.”
“What am I doing again?”
“A private car.”
My younger brother keeps speaking informally.
Calian, who was obviously deliberately interrupting his words, smiled brightly. Brother, you smiled brightly, moving your mouth without smiling, meaning that I knew why you drank that tea in front of Devlan.
Plantz, annoyed by this, put down the glass of carbonated water he was drinking.
– Fondant!
The sparkling water in Planz’s glass splashed into Calian’s glass. Calian said with a smile, recalling Arianne’s words from a memory he was looking back on a little while ago.
“You asked me to bring it instead of alcohol, so you can pretend it’s alcohol and make a wish. Brother.”
My little brother is barking out of nowhere again.
Calian, who had told Plantz, who had furrowed his brow, the time when Secretia drinkers make a wish, pointed to Plantz’s heart and said.
“Don’t just live, but take care of yourself and live well. Didn’t I tell you?”
“I do not remember.”
“I guess it’s okay if you take what I just said. With that in mind… make a wish to Serenti.”
Also, out of nowhere, my younger brother, who had left me homework that I had never done in my life, got up from his seat. Plantz, who was looking into the glass without saying a word, opened his mouth.
“What wish?”
“It’s a wish for yourself, brother.”
“why.”
Instead of answering, Calian looked at the glass of sparkling water. It means don’t worry about anything else and quickly think about your wish. It’s something I’ve never done in my life, so it won’t be easy to decide.
Calian stood up.
“Where are you going?”
Calian’s arm moved again. And he tapped Planz’s glass of sparkling water with his long, white finger.
“Where Serenti is.”
Serenti must be out there somewhere.
To make a pea wish come true.
Calian answered in a light voice and walked towards where Chase and Devlan were. Also, without knowing that I was speaking informally.
A bracelet on the wrist hidden by a sleeve.
Calian’s bracelet connected to Allen was emitting a soft light.
* * *
That dark night.
The private soldiers gathered at the huge mansion of Marquis Lei Jian Lin moved. Since there were so many people gathered, it was impossible to be hidden in the darkness of the night, but everyone was still dressed in black and had their faces covered with masks. It has an appearance that is not easily noticeable in the dark.
Lei Jian lowered the window curtain and put on unfamiliar thin chain armor. And he wore a black robe over it. It was not a direct fight, but a final defense against possible assassination attempts.
“Be careful, Mom.”
Arianne, who had been eating and drinking tea with a calm face, finally spoke in a subdued voice as if something was becoming real.
“We plan to gather in front of the palace to protest and then disperse. There is no such thing as force coming and going, so don’t look at it that way.”
“Still. “I don’t know what your highness will think.”
“Don’t worry. Do a good job controlling the door.”
“Yes. I understand.”
Even after Raijian led the private soldiers out, Arianne did not intend to hide herself. She planned to lock the door to the Marquis’ residence and stay here with the remaining private soldiers. The reason she had to act as the Marquis’ agent to replace Raijian was
. It was also because it was safer inside the mansion than outside. And there was another reason more important than those two reasons.
– Knock.
Just as Lei Jian, who had finished preparing, was about to take a step, a low sound of a knock on the door rang through the quiet room.
“Please come.”
Rayjian answered immediately, without even asking who was there. With that, a small sound was heard and the door opened. The
head of the marquis’ residence stood in front. And this would become an even more important reason for Arianne not to vacate the marquis’ residence. Several companions, including me, came into view.
Arianne, with eyes filled with tension and joy, bent down and said,
“It’s been a long time since I saw you. Concubine.”
“Yes. long time no see. Arianne.”
It was Louise.
It had not been long since she woke up from the poison, and the poisonous energy from the sleeping scent that had accumulated had not yet been completely cured. Because of this, her face still had a sick look on it, but Louise stood upright and looked at Arianne with unwavering eyes.
Tailan Castrin was standing behind Louise.
Tailan, who had come in with Louise and exchanged only a light greeting with Arianne, turned his head towards Raijian. A very stern voice came out of his mouth. “I will serve you.” “Yes
.
” . Let’s go.”
Rayjian nodded slightly toward the people who visited the mansion, then approached Arianne and gave her a light hug.
“I’ll go.”
“Yes. Please come back.”
Rayjian tapped Arianne on the shoulder a few times and went out. And Tailan, who was now escorting Rayjian in Louise’s place, followed him. Arianne, who had been listening to the sound of the footsteps receding for a moment, helped Louise up
. So he escorted me to sit down in a comfortable chair. He then turned back and smiled brightly.
“I’m not going to ask you to apologize, so please take care of this mansion. Make sure no one comes in.”
Her face was still tense, but her voice was not afraid.
The person who saw that smiled slightly.
“What I’m protecting is not the concubine and the lady’s mansion.”
Instead of the beautiful turquoise dress, she wore the most comfortable black leather. Aila, dressed in a suit and with her long sea-green hair tied up with a hairpin that was always inseparable, continued,
“These people will guard the mansion.”
She also pointed to Coco’s father and Coco’s mother, who were now dressed in their most comfortable robes. .
‘Wouldn’t it be strange if you two were together at a banquet hall and went to buy flowers? They are at an age where they will be dating for a long time.’
My older brother was engaged to be married, so is there anything that can’t be done just because it’s a romantic relationship?
I had to listen to Calian, who couldn’t tell what he was talking about or not, but like Eila, the two of them didn’t have the skills to disappear without a rumor. So, they came together like they were dancing charmingly. The two people who moved and left the banquet hall naturally gave Arianne a light greeting.
“Then, everyone, please rest comfortably. “I’m going to go out again.”
And finally.
The wizard who had safely transported them all from the palace to the marquis’ residence opened his mouth.
Unable to control his anger at King Secretia’s tyranny, a small fiefdom grew in number by one circle. Baron of. And so, the Archmage of the 8th Circle, who now has the appearance of being twenty-three again.
– Congratulations, Master.
Alan Manasil smiled softly.
– I will thank you in person later.
– Yes, I will. First of all…
That dark night.
Those who gathered lit what they had in their hands. They turned on magic lanterns. Numerous lights illuminate the darkness. Everyone was dressed in black and had their
faces covered with black masks, so there was only one person to see. Only the magic lantern was visible. Ironically, it looked like Anne Lucia on the river Senu in Kyris. It looked like a flame for the countless people who died at Devlan. That night was filled with deep darkness. Like the flames of countless people flowing towards the royal
palace
. I set off
– after pushing my ghost into the abyss – and
a wildfire rose.
