Chapter 79. Bow down (4)
You know, Demirea.
I have an excuse.
I told you in advance in case they found the knife, but I didn’t get caught again. Like you said, I really thought about it and thought about it carefully, but I don’t think there’s any more room for me to get caught. So don’t be angry and just listen to me for a moment.
Not this morning.
The night has passed and it is now yesterday. So, after seeing you and Hina off yesterday morning, I came to Whitlin. There was nothing else to do on the way and I arrived without any problems. Then, we spent some time resting and had dinner with the nobles.
I’m telling you in advance just in case you’re worried, but I didn’t do anything special at dinner and ate my meal quietly and politely.
Really.
Brother Randel seemed to quite like the dinner atmosphere. So you can trust it. Actually, those nobles can be a bit strange, but I really don’t lose my temper and get along well.
Anyway, after dinner, I returned to my room. After that, I took a good shower, gathered my thoughts, got some fresh air, and looked at the stars. Then it was soon time to go to bed. So I lay down. Although it was a bit awkward to listen to Relic, I quietly closed my eyes and tried to sleep.
But a problem arose.
It was midnight and the moon was thin.
So it was dark and I.
– …… Growling.
I ended up getting hungry.
Because Demirea.
Actually, I’m playing like a pea right now.
There are a lot of things to worry about just by being a cat, so what must it have been like trying to be a pea? I had a pale face, gray hair, and eyes like peas, and I tried my best to be as round as a pea. As a result, I had no choice but to eat the rice in small pieces.
I knew that the estate manager would pay attention to the dinner menu, but I didn’t expect that he would put a piglet on top of an ostrich. If I had known that would happen, I would have packed some beef jerky.
Anyway, that was it.
Thanks to you, I became very hungry. As a result, I couldn’t sleep.
Of course, I usually don’t sleep when I leave the house. But that didn’t mean I couldn’t sleep, just because I wasn’t sleeping. But you were hungry. I can’t sleep because I’m hungry. Then what happened to me?
I felt sad.
I wasn’t just sad, I was really sad, but my eyes were like shit and I couldn’t sleep, so I couldn’t go out for a walk, so I just held on to the blanket with both hands, closed my eyes, and just counted the sound of time passing. I said so.
-Sarak………
A gentle breeze suddenly blows through the bed curtains.
ruler.
Think about it, Demirea.
It was late at night, time was running out, there was nothing to do, and I was hungry. You were very hungry. But the wind is blowing. I don’t know who it was, but you came to my room with great energy. Then what would I have been like?
I was excited.
many.
so I. You’ve done well, you bastard, but I guess I’ll have to fight to calm the pace. Still, I don’t want it to become known that I’m not your older brother, so I shouldn’t use Auror, but only Sinastar. With that promise in mind, I quietly opened my eyes.
But when I thought about it, I realized there was a problem.
Actually, when it comes to sensitivity, my older brother is someone who wouldn’t lose even if he were to compete with Raven, so I know from experience that he is a person who easily wakes up even from that much wind.
But only I know that.
If you don’t know that my brother is a person who will never lose his temper and win 99 times out of 100 if he tries it, and that he must have learned how to hold a sword to some extent, although not as good as how to hold a bottle, you will not know Kairis. It’s not a person. However, most people don’t know that he also has the truly surprising ability of being able to wake up in the bedroom while sleeping.
I know it because I know it. Who knows?
So, the guy who entered the room just now probably didn’t know either.
If Pea kills that guy with one hit, wouldn’t people be more wary of Pea? He thought it was a pea, but it turned out to be me. If it was discovered that people would be extremely wary of the pea, not knowing if it was real or fake.
So, is it possible?
– …… Sreuk.
First of all, I didn’t get angry and just quietly opened my eyes.
If I knew how to do invisibility magic, I would have used it, but I couldn’t do it because I only know how to do one of the five circle magic. So I just lay still and waited.
Immediately the bedroom curtains opened.
But there was something else strange.
I don’t feel like I can live with that guy.
– Brother, are you sleeping?
– why.
– Please call Kyrie quietly.
There are usually two things I don’t feel like living with a guy who brought a knife into someone else’s room. He didn’t come in to kill, he just came to talk for a moment.
– If you hear any noise in my room, please tell me not to come in.
-……What’s going on?
– ah. It’s not a big deal, it’s just that.
Unless you’re just here to chat for a moment.
– I think I’ll be kidnapped.
okay.
He must have come to take me away for a little while.
– … You’re crazy.
– Are you saying something new again?
– not.
– ah. Are you talking about the guy who wants to take me instead of me?
– okay.
– If you had known it was me, you wouldn’t have come. I came to pick up my easy-going brother.
– Speak informally.
I’m going to take away that older brother who would rather talk up and down than say that his younger brother is being kidnapped or that he’s easy. That’s probably what you came here for.
Then what would I have done, Demirea?
-Anyway, I’ll calmly catch you.
– why.
– We need to find out who it is.
I came to my senses and prepared to be captured.
It was okay up to that point.
But Demirea.
– That’s not a good idea.
– Stay away from Lord Kyrie and Hertz. Make sure Siren doesn’t fall next to Randel.
That sleeping scent that Rashid Brissen used.
– First of all, don’t make a fuss… Just pretend not to know until the sun rises and Reric discovers I’m gone.
It seems like it has become more toxic.
Or maybe they made another sleeping scent.
Whatever it was, they were playing around.
– Anyway, don’t worry about me….
I couldn’t sleep because I was hungry, but I felt sleepy. I fell asleep so quickly and without even realizing it.
– Don’t wilt… it’s okay.
– Kalyan.
That’s how it happened, Demirea. Actually, I could have avoided it, but it’s not that I couldn’t, it’s that I didn’t avoid it and just fell asleep. I thought Pea would be in trouble if I killed that guy right away, so I waited patiently. Then, I became intoxicated by the scent of sleep, which was much stronger than before.
It’s not because I’m a useless and troublesome person who was kidnapped twice in my life, but because I have my own thoughts and circumstances.
That’s why.
– …… Kalian.
I called you. Because I couldn’t answer properly.
I promised myself that I would be more attentive.
I.

Every time the wind blows, the wheat fields dance.
Even in the dark, the scene is clearly visible.
Whitlin was a spacious place. A river that would never dry flowed, and winds blew frequently but not fiercely. It was a warmer land than any other region.
A land that has never asked for more water, to give medicine to prevent diseases and bugs, to dry up the water that fills the ground. A land where the ground does not dry out, is not affected by pests and diseases, and where the wheat is not completely rotted by floods. It was a land where exceptionally high-quality wheat was harvested without fatigue and did not disappoint the people’s expectations.
‘I’m going to sleep a little longer.’
‘Would you like me to bring you some tea?’
‘are you okay.’
‘Then call me again when you need me.’
‘it’s okay. ‘I’ll take care of it.’
Looking at that whitlin reminded me of the conversation I had with Jan a little while ago.
‘Lowering.’
‘you. Title.’
‘it’s okay. Sir Hertz said that measures were taken to prevent what was said in the VIP room from leaking out. People will be keeping a close eye on His Majesty the Crown Prince’s room, so our prince will have to continue to be careful, but it’s okay for a little while here.’
‘…… okay. why.’
‘Can I tell you one thing?’
‘sun.’
‘Since you are wearing shoes, I thought you were trying to imitate the prince even in the room, but I don’t think so.’
‘I’m writing it.’
‘Our prince isn’t like that. It’s too different to say I’m paying attention. Even apart from the fact that you smile a lot, it’s a lot different.’
‘What else?’
‘The prince tells me everything he wants me to do for him, one by one, the food he wants to eat, the tea he wants to drink, the clothes he wants to wear that day, the accessories he needs, and even the scent he wants to smell when he takes a bath. Of course, I can take care of it myself, and the prince can take care of it himself, but if there are any special things that come to mind or if I can help you, please tell me several times a day without thinking that I will bother you.’
‘… I told you.’
‘Prince, I’m not asking you to do the same to me, but I’m telling you this because I can see what you do on a daily basis. I like that side of the prince. I’m not as good as the prince, and I’m not as special as Sir Leia, Sir Hertz, or Lord Du Verne, but I don’t think I’m someone the prince doesn’t need. Because the prince gives me a place to worry and take care of him. But to see you today….’
‘what.’
‘I don’t think Reric thinks like I do.’
It is time for the water soaked in moonlight to sway in the large artificial lake of Chermil Palace. In Whitlin, the wind that carried the moonlight was swaying across the endless wheat fields. It was also unfamiliar and unfamiliar, so I turned my head to look at the sight I had encountered for the first time.
In Plantz’s mind, the equally unfamiliar ‘advice from subordinates’ continues.
‘When you were injured. I told Reric to remain calm. Then I noticed it. I wasn’t telling you not to worry, but I’m looking into whether it’s okay to worry.’
I knew it.
I was already worried, but I couldn’t say anything and was hesitant, so I told him it was okay to worry, and it was only then that he started crying.
‘I’m telling you this because I don’t want Relic to feel anxious like that.’
After listening to Jan, I felt like I understood.
Was it not just because he noticed or because he found Plantz difficult, but because he was anxious?
Below article.
Because not everyone in the world is like Kalyan. Because no one will be able to read everything you say out loud.
So, when I return to my original form, I will ask Relic to bring me a meal that suits my taste. Calian would be dissatisfied after seeing the meal tailored to Plantz’s taste, but still.
– Fluttering….
Her jet-black hair, bathed in moonlight, swayed in the wind, but was not slicked back. This is because I now know very well that unlike Planz’s hair, which is difficult to fix due to its fineness, the hair has such a fine texture that it cannot be fixed at all with just a wave of the hand.
Plantz, who had been looking at the wide wheat fields of Whitlin for a while, had never complained before, turned around. With a little enlightenment, a little reflection, and a lot of determination.
So he returned to his room and walked to the bedroom.
He stared at the red eyes in the mirror for a while and then sat down on the bed. He lay down and tried to sleep.
– Brother, are you sleeping?
But then.
After dinner, I heard the voice of my younger brother, who had been quiet all the time.
– why.
I guess I was bored again.
Maybe I couldn’t sleep?
He tried to furrow his eyebrows at that thought, but answered while trying to furrow his brows like Calian usually did. And he exchanged a few words.
As his face gradually hardens, he suddenly forgets to frown and the corners of his eyes are furrowed.
-Sarak………
Plantz stood up quietly again and looked at the mirror. He opened his mouth, staring at his younger brother’s face as if glaring at it.
“Wizard.”
empty room.
A place where the only thing watching him was his younger brother in the mirror. A wizard was called from such a place.
“Here it is.”
Then the answer came from a place other than the direction Plantz was looking. A wizard appeared with him.
But the speed was faster than Arsene. Therefore, the horrible sight of only faces floating in the air did not occur.
The wizard who stayed in the room after Jan left.
A wizard who protected the crown prince’s life on behalf of Arsene, who was out with Aela.
“……I guess.”
“yes.”
“It looks like you’ve been kidnapped again. ‘My very weak brother’.”
“yes……?”
The purple-haired Euria answered.
I don’t know if it would be okay to call that the answer.
Planz, who briefly looked at Euria, who was obviously embarrassed, leaned back against the bedpost. I felt dizzy, perhaps because of surprise or anemia, but after calming down my spinning vision again, I opened my eyes.
“Have you ever caught someone?”
Euria, who had assessed the situation for just a moment from Planz’s words, opened her mouth.
“It’s better to ask if there’s a day when you haven’t caught someone.”
“… Save me.”
“Yes. A few times.”
There have been a few instances where people have been caught alive.
In general, it was like that when I caught Arsene.
Plantz, who had not yet withered, opened his mouth as Calian had carefully asked, whether he knew this or not.
“Then now.”
“yes.”
“Can you find the manager of this territory and bring him to me?”
“all right.”
“I think we can quietly kidnap him. Alive.”
Red eyes sparkling in the dark.
There wasn’t the slightest bit of insincerity mixed into it. Therefore, when Euria saw those eyes, she made a very happy face.
“Please stay for five minutes, Prince Calian.”
Anyway, Euria was also a wizard.

Kidnapping of the royal family.
Something I had never experienced before I died.
– ……Knock knock knock.
How dare you touch the royal body that no one can touch. It would be better to send an assassin instead of kidnapping. She had already experienced something she had never experienced even in her dreams twice.
At first, it could be said that it was not a kidnapping since Adelia moved the dead, but this time was different. Calian even had the appearance of Planz. So it is a more serious problem. Kidnapping the crown prince, not even another royal family. Isn’t it no different from attacking Kairis?
– Knock knock knock.
A ring is inserted. I kept the bracelet as is.
Like in Evan’s study, there was no communication to the outside, perhaps due to magic interference. However, judging from the fact that the hair reflected in the fire was gray at first glance, the disguise did not go away.
After checking that far, Calian sat down and narrowed his eyes, slowly tapping the armrest of the chair. And she looked around quietly.
A room with appropriate darkness and light is not as distant a place as you might think. I was sitting on a fairly soft chair and I wasn’t tied down anywhere. The sleeping pills had all worn off before she knew it, and her mind was clear.
So, this time too, it could be difficult to see it as a complete kidnapping. Still, I was annoyed.
So Calian, who was staring at the guy sitting across from him, opened his mouth. And at this moment he asked for a way to relieve what was irritating him most.
“shoes.”
Give me your shoes.
This time, I don’t even have a jacket or vest because I was dragged into a deep sleep instead of trying to sleep. He is wearing a shirt and pants. It was disguised as a pea, so if we just unfasten three or four more buttons, it would look exactly like the pea that Calian had seen for the first time. Of course, it’s annoying, but the situation is what it is, so you can understand it and get over it.
But barefoot?
I can’t stand that.
The guy who heard Calian’s words laughed quietly. And he, who was standing nearby, told this person what he wanted to say. It wasn’t long before a pair of shiny, high-quality brown shoes were placed on Kalyan’s feet.
Kalian, who had maintained the ‘minimum pride a crown prince should have’, raised his head. And then I looked back at the guy who obviously caused this situation.
“I was in such a hurry that I didn’t pay enough attention to you. I’m sorry for making you upset, my Majesty.”
“If you’re really sorry.”
Big dark brown eyes without double eyelids.
A face that seems to have been seen many times before.
and. Bright red hair that I will never forget.
“Bow your head first.”
Calian gave an answer to another person who resembled Freya.
