Chapter 66. It’s mine (5)
Kalian’s head turned to the side.
You have a personality as complex as mine.
I’m sorry for thinking that you smell like my father and me. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a crazy person like you in my life, but if you hear me say things like this, you really are as great as Sir Hertz.
I was trying really hard to keep these words from coming out.
“I think I found someone I liked.”
“It hasn’t been long since I came back here. I really wanted to meet you at least once, but there’s no way, so I’ve been thinking a lot about how I can meet you, and I’ve met you like this. So I can’t help but be happy, Prince.”
Calian’s eyes looked into the distance.
Calian asked, being careful not to reveal his gaze towards Plants.
“There are many people who have arrived. May I wonder where the Baron’s eyes landed?”
“Isn’t that natural?”
Rashid showed his innocent face once again.
“Planz Rune Kyris.”
The name of the royal family is mentioned as if there is no hesitation.
“…Your Majesty the Crown Prince, Prince.”
“iced coffee.”
Calian quietly lowered his eyes.
He quietly lifted Rashid’s blood-soaked hand and very slowly brushed his black hair.
“You mean my brother?”
So that the face that says you’re going crazy because it’s fun is covered by that hand. So as not to be revealed.
* * *
I crept my foot back.
Of course, I know it shouldn’t be like that. This is something you would do when you see Lucy and Anne walking in the distance without any snacks to take away, but it is definitely not the right thing to do when you spot your boss with whom you had a meal the day before. I didn’t know that.
No, still.
The situation is a bit different.
I saw my boss and coworker standing in front of the fountain, holding hands affectionately and holding ice cream in one hand. However, he came there with a bright face and asked how he was doing and how he was doing. When I saw him on my way home from work, he had already finished work and was no longer there. Perhaps that was why, unlike me, he was doing well, so I couldn’t say hello to him with envy.
“When you were growing your muscles, shouldn’t you have also developed your senses?”
It’s all Scarlett’s fault like chicken breast.
You should have told me the important thing first.
Among the nobles who stopped for a moment around Plants and Hina and then went on their way, pretending like nothing was wrong, Needlen, who desperately prayed that I would not be noticed among their constant gazes, quietly took a step back.
“Pink-haired wizard.”
“Yes, sir. Hello. How have you been?”
Ah……
Sispanian.
“… I see you, Crown Prince Planz. I am sorry.”
It just caught on.
Needlen’s face changed to the color of his hair as he unconsciously sent a greeting that made no sense and was not at all etiquette in front of Plantz, who was looking at him with eyes that asked, “What kind of blue-haired crazy wizard are you talking about?” In fact, I couldn’t have imagined that that expressionless face contained some kind of worry, like ‘I guess I was very tired because I worked all night.’
– Hello, division commander. What are you doing here?
Thanks to this, a helping hand came to Needlen, who was looking embarrassed and embarrassed.
Thanks to Needlen, there was no need for a dangerous situation to arise, so Hina mercilessly let go of Planz’s hand, took a bite of the already melted ice cream, and left the remaining ice cream to Plantz for a while.
Needlen, who saw the crown prince naturally taking the ice cream that Hina was eating without saying anything, forgot all his embarrassed feelings and smiled without knowing, and quickly answered.
“My brother’s cafe is in front of here, healer. I heard that His Majesty the Crown Prince is outside, so I came to say hello.”
– Oh, I see. I think it’s even nicer to see you outside.
“Yes. Me too.”
Hina smiled and nodded, took the ice cream back from Planz’s hand, and took another bite. Realizing that it was the very strawberry ice cream that Kirie had bought me for the first time on a breezy spring day, I felt happy and didn’t want to leave any behind.
Needlen looked proud when he saw Hina eating deliciously. And I thought I should tell you that what you are holding now was made by my sister who used Lucy and Anne’s snacks as her staple food.
– Tap, tap, tap!
But the sound of a horse running, which was not suitable for this street, stopped Needlen.
Needlen, who wiped the smile off his face in an instant, stood in front of Plantz and Hina. Then he turned towards where the horses were running. Then, about a dozen knights in black armor without a single family crest were seen approaching quickly.
– It’s a bit tricky…!
An electric current gathers at the tip of my finger as I try to point at the ice cream.
– Ugh!
At the same time, a thick shield was created in front of Plants and Hina.
“Be careful.”
The wizard’s short words and sudden movements. And those who were surprised by the suspicious knights running quickly left the place. Even though there was quite a commotion, Needlen’s gaze did not stray from the knights.
“Ha…”
But then I heard a sigh from behind.
This comes from the mouth of the Crown Prince, who is so used to this situation that he is immediately locked inside the shield when he feels the atmosphere is a little bad, and is completely irritated.
My younger brother is acting like that now, but why are you even doing this to the pink haired wizard? Was my sword only visible to my eyes? Plantz, who was staring at the back of Needlen’s head with those exact eyes, opened his mouth again.
“Division commander.”
“Yes, Vice Commander.”
“Put it away.”
“yes?”
“Because it’s Siegfried.”
“…… yes?”
It is a silenced bomb made and trained for emergency situations. If you had called in reinforcements using that, isn’t there a high possibility that you wouldn’t be able to reveal your affiliation? Therefore, Needlen, who had no way of knowing that he had come with all the marks representing his family removed, looked ahead again.
– Diverse.
The horses that had come a short distance slowed down and stamped their feet several times in the same manner as Demirea’s horse. The knights who confirmed this got off their horses and walked straight toward the person who had summoned them and who might know the whereabouts of Demirea.
One of the knights standing in front showed an example with moderation.
“Meeting His Majesty the Crown Prince. This is Ronansite, the chief knight of the Siegfried family.”
Needlen realized that the face of the woman with her long hair tied high was familiar, so she lifted the shield. And he spoke on behalf of Plantz, who had just been greeted.
“This is Needlen Zeia, the Balkan division commander. What is going on here in Siegfried?”
“I think we should ask why you called the knights here. Where is the Duke?”
The shield was lifted, but it was still blocking Plantz’s path. It was true that he was Siegfried’s knight, and it was true that he was a knight with a familiar face, but the fact that he left his family’s emblem behind was considered very strange.
“I don’t have time to explain.”
Why are there the Crown Prince and Balkan people instead of the Little Duke?
Those people who suddenly appeared aren’t even Prince Calian, so why are they all covered up and dressed in black?
Plantz, completely ignoring Ronansite and Needlen’s questions, looked at Hina.
“If you ate it all.”
Hina nodded. Then he rushed over, threw away the cup of ice cream he had finished eating, and grabbed the wings of Tuntun’s saddle. Plantz, who personally helped the short Hina step on the stirrups, climbed onto Estina.
Soon Planz’s head moved.
He looked down at the wizards and knights standing very awkwardly with each other and spoke in a low voice.
“Follow me.”
“…Where are you going?”
“Follow me.”
The kind of person my brother is is that once he starts barking, he disappears, but he was unable to bark as much as he wanted at a red bird he met a few days ago and held back for a long time. He used up so much patience that he didn’t already have that day that he might bite instead of barking this time. I wasn’t going to go with Hina today, but after thinking about it after my sister went there, I decided I probably wouldn’t be able to go there.
If my younger brother bites anyone, the Little Duke, who only knows how to stop people, probably won’t be able to handle it.
“Because the Little Duke can’t catch my brother.”
Plantz, who had folded up his long words and laid them down, leisurely took the lead. If I meet Balkan members on the way, I take them with me, but if I don’t meet them, whatever. It will come to you on its own.
It was such a light hearted feeling.
It was like that until then.
– Do not come. go back.
That’s why, after entering Naerangsha, I saw my younger brother sending me a sign language while being careful not to be noticed by someone standing nearby on the rooftop of a building in the distance – right now
. go back.
– why.
So, even when I gave the answer to my younger brother as if I was talking to Hina.
– You may not believe it, but there’s a crazy person here.
When he couldn’t understand the harsh words mixed in, he showed the same thing to Hina and asked her what it meant, and then when Hina, who had a normal face, lifted one of her fingers and rolled it around next to her head to tell him the meaning. Even when Hina wrote a word on the palm of the handsomely grown crown prince, who did not even understand the gesture.
– believe.
– …No, not me. Another crazy guy.
Plantz wasn’t too worried.
Because I was shrouded in darkness, I didn’t know the identity of this crazy guy who was so crazy that my brother recognized him as crazy.
– Speak informally.
Because I didn’t know who Calian had encountered.
* * *
How long has it been since I was helplessly stabbed by a knife?
I tried to gauge it, trying to calm my mind, which was starting to fail. But it didn’t come to mind right away. Not only had I never had anything like that in the last few years that I could clearly remember, but the feeling of the bundle of cloth in my wound and my broken collarbone constantly poking my skin interrupted my thoughts.
With Calian nearby, I wanted to sleep peacefully, but I couldn’t.
How can one sleep in front of people who are unable to leave the injured person sitting against the wall and don’t know what to do because they can’t even check on him thanks to the 3rd Prince’s black words that block anyone who comes?
‘do not die.’
Below article. After seeing that face, I couldn’t lose my mind.
So I thought again.
Don’t fall asleep or lose your mind.
So, I…
got stabbed like this.
…… It’s been a while.
“Sir Bridget.”
I heard a voice.
Aila opened her eyes, glad to hear a voice that would wake her up even if she didn’t think about it. I saw someone with two black horses behind them.
“Do you know who I am?”
“……Siegfried. Minor Duke.”
Raven, who was standing in Aila’s way, was the only one who made way. The person who came so close and confirmed that Aila had come to her senses.
Demirea nodded slightly. Then, he put aside the purple jacket and vest that were lying on the floor, took off his dark-colored jacket and laid it on the floor. And then Aila’s body was slowly laid down. Even though I had someone to take care of me, there was no need to make me sit still.
“Where is the prince?”
“Rooftop. I went to see Rashid Brissen.”
Demirea’s eyes hardened after hearing the unexpected name. Then he nodded and answered.
“All right.”
I know that since he was not in a state of immediate death, he would have left it like this. Still, I needed to know how injured I was before I could decide whether to go to Astrisha, where Hina was, or go to the palace and wait for her. Therefore, instead of going to where Calian would be, Demirea carefully looked at Aela’s condition.
It looks like the collarbone or shoulder is broken. I have a severe fever.
I don’t know how much blood was shed, but the smell of blood was quite strong. The wound on his back was already well bandaged, and no blood was oozing out of the bandage.
It is worth knowing what method Calian used to stop the bleeding. Therefore, after thinking for a moment, Demirea opened her mouth.
“If Viscount Bern asks, just say that I took action. It’s a skill too familiar to be said to have been done by a prince.”
“I was thinking of answering that I did it. Isn’t that strange…”
“I can’t do this on my own.”
“That’s right. Okay.”
Dmirea, seeing the person who had not even come to his senses answering calmly, shook his head. This is because I remembered that Calian, who had been brought dead to the Duke’s residence, did not show a single sign of pain throughout the treatment.
It’s terrible.
I never thought there would be someone else who suits those words so well.
“I’ll be going to the palace soon, so you can relax.”
“I will do that when I get to the palace.”
Siegfried’s knights would have arrived in Astricia a long time ago, and Balkan members would have arrived nearby as soon as possible. I think it would be a good idea to bite the people gathered around them before they come and make more noise. Because of this, Demirea’s movement as she stood up and turned around stopped for a moment.
People on the street were already retreating. Lightly armed soldiers could be seen walking through the created street.
Neither Siegfried’s knights nor Balkans.
It was the capital’s guard.
“You’re coming quickly.”
Demirea let go of her words and took a step forward.
Then he slowly moved his feet and blocked the guard’s path.
