Chapter 89. Thanks to his useful face (3),
Plantz took a deep breath.
After that, he suddenly stood up and looked at the back of Calian’s pitch-black head, who was almost face to face with Whitlin, and closed his eyes for a moment.
What should I do?
I thought about it briefly.
That’s because we saw together that my younger brother’s hands had turned completely white as he leaned on the table. No matter how much I think about it, it looks like my younger brother is in a nightmare while he is standing up fine.
– Kalyan.
I called out to Calian as if I was slowly knocking.
But the answer did not come back right away.
There was no sound, let alone an answer.
‘if.’
Did you bring up Bern again?
As the number of days when I think of young Calian increases, isn’t he the younger brother whom I can easily scoop up Bern’s image like a memory from my past childhood? Just like when I pointed out Planz’s mistake a little while ago.
Because even if you do that, you won’t lose who you are now.
So, did you bring up Bern again?
Did you do that to get Whitlin to open up? Then, did Whitlin touch something and have a nightmare? This is what I thought.
Plantz, who was as quick-witted as he was impatient, could not wait any longer and chose to call his younger brother one more time. I told him to call me whatever he wanted because it didn’t matter what he said if necessary, but I still felt like I needed to bring out something appropriate.
After thinking about it, not knowing whether he was worried or worried, Plantz raised his head, unable to come up with an answer. And first, he stretched out his hand to grab Calian and make him sit down.
– Anyway, you are in such a hurry.
But Calian’s voice stopped Plants from taking action.
– Kalyan.
– yes. Brother and sister haven’t gone anywhere. Are you worried even though it is right in front of you? Am I that unsatisfactory?
– Because you don’t answer.
– He got up as soon as I called him. You should give me time to answer.
-What are you talking about? Even block the sound.
– and. Brother, do you recognize Silent now?
– I can’t hear any sound, but I don’t notice.
– Oh, that’s right. really.
Calian’s voice makes me laugh.
– The voice was briefly covered. My older brother, who still has a long way to grow up, said some things that were not appropriate for us to listen to together.
-What are you saying?
– bad words.
Calian answered briefly and slowly straightened his back.
And so that Plantz wouldn’t notice, he changed his gaze right under Whitlin’s nose and returned it to its original state. The small silent screen that had been opened after approaching Whitlin was also taken away. After that, he sat back in his original seat and looked at Whitlin as if nothing had happened.
“Whitlin.”
Whitlin’s gaze stayed in the same position where it had been forced to face Calian a moment ago. Calian, who had already sat down, did not move his eyes even though they were far below him. It was as if the light purple eyes that had disappeared long ago were still looking directly at him.
“Whitlin. I need to see you.”
Calian’s voice, which reminds him of what he just said about looking at himself, forces Whitlin’s eyes to open. Only then did Whitlin move his head and look towards Calian.
Plantz frowned.
This is because I noticed that the composure and calmness had disappeared from Whitlin’s face.
-What did you say?
– Because it’s a bad word.
Calian probably didn’t intend to kill himself towards Whitlin Bay. It’s not Whitlin who would lose his composure and get scared by such a move.
It couldn’t have been the reason that Calian acknowledged and revealed his secret. In fact, didn’t Whitlin know for a while that someone else had heard what Calian was thinking? Even if you reveal something that was simply not acknowledged, it will only reconfirm the facts and there is no reason to be swayed like that.
So, if you said something so bad, Whitlin, who said he didn’t even blink even in front of Alan, looked like that and said something, the hands that that guy hid under the table would start shaking.
Because of this, Plantz, with a frown on his face, turned his head towards Calian.
– Talk to me.
– If you were going to tell me that, why did you use Silent?
– Don’t turn it. word.
-Why bother?
– Because I’m worried. Please let me know.
Anyway, persistent pea.
Calian, who chuckled, sent a reply.
– He threatened me that if I lived like that, I would regret it when I die.
It’s not wrong.
It’s not even a lie.
Of course, I don’t think that’s all, but I didn’t intend to tell you any more than that. So Calian opened his mouth to Whitlin, as if trying to get around Planz.
“Remember what I said clearly. Don’t forget it and think about it carefully. If you don’t open your mouth again this time, I will do whatever I want, regardless of what my big-hearted brother and majesty here promised you. If that happens, there will really be no turning back. .”
Are you thinking of using your hands to kill me?
Are they going to use their hands to ensure that punishment is imposed instead of fulfilling their promises?
Either way, new conditions that are clearly unfavorable to Whitlin are arbitrarily handed out.
It was completely different from what he had shown a moment ago, and he had a beautiful smile that made Whitlin wonder if he had been dreaming for a moment, in a voice that seemed to have not even gone through a transformation.
“I don’t have to keep what you promised, right?”
Smile.
This is what someone who has already experienced a terrible nightmare said. Before I knew it, I had hidden my cruel eyes and my nightmare-like voice.
Whitlin faced that smile and lowered his eyes.
After some time had passed, Whitlin’s voice was heard again.
“… I didn’t know that the three princes of this country were crazier than Silestian.”
“you.”
– Drurk!
– Tuk!
Plantz immediately got up from his seat, showing his anger at the unacceptable words directed at Calian. However, a quickly moving hand pressed his shoulder and made him sit back down.
Plantz glared at Calian. Then Calian quickly returned his outstretched hand and spoke.
“Excuse me.”
“Calian.”
“That’s true, but why are you so angry? Your brother also said the same thing.”
– I’m saying with my own mouth that my little brother is crazy, and an elf like me is saying things like that. Is it the same?
– Is it different?
– different. So I wish you wouldn’t do it. you also.
-What are you talking about?
– Crazy.
Planz’s deep blue eyes shine brightly.
While the second hand of the clock moved a couple of times, numerous conversations took place again.
– You’re saying that because you did something to Whitlin again. Not long ago, I went into the sea, but what did I do this time? What did you do to make you more scared than Whitlin?
– Can’t you just skip it without listening?
– If you can’t tell me, don’t do it. Don’t skip it, don’t make excuses, and don’t do it. Just don’t do it.
I’m angry.
– Listen to what you say, you crazy little brother.
scolded
scolded.
– …… ah.
Deanna, the late queen of Secretia, was always kind. Louise, who raised Bern on Deanna’s behalf, gave her only affection. Chase was always like that too. He always scolded Bern with a gentle face.
So, this is the first time. It was my first time being beaten by my brother, but I had never heard anything like this before. As I said, it has grown very nicely.
Calian slowly raised his hand. Then he covered his face with his palm and let out a short sigh before giving his answer.
– yes. All right.
Then, Plantz gave back exactly what he had heard at the meal.
– What did you think?
Called.
Calian, who was laughing in the palm of his hand, answered.
– I won’t.
– What.
– bad words.
– I didn’t mean to just say bad things.
-What do crazy people do if they don’t do crazy things? Danu will steal your brother away again, Rashid will touch you again, or the nobles will put you in danger again… –
Stop. Because I understand.
– Anyway, I won’t say any more of the bad things I said today.
– …… okay.
– yes.
After the clock’s second hand moved about five more times, Calian lowered his hand. Then he moved his gaze towards Whitlin and spoke.
– When I get out of here, I’m going to the villa. So brother, go play somewhere else.
– What are you talking about all of a sudden?
– He wants to meet Demirea. I heard that Siona can’t even take a single step outside the villa because she’s in the form of Demirea, so I’m going to go and meet her in person.
– I thought I would see Hina first. why.
– When I meet Hina, I get scolded a lot. I’ve already been scolded once, so it would be sad to get scolded again. So, I will go to the villa and show off again and receive compliments. The peas have grown again.
– hey.
– Anyway.
– My brother now barks at the Duke.
– Isn’t it because you keep saying that my little brother barks a lot that he started barking so much everywhere? So, why don’t you save it a little bit?
It seems that Plantz is tired of being pointed at and Calian is tired of being told that Plantz is barking at him.
Plantz, using his friend’s speaking habits, came up with the harsh words, ‘Your bullshit is really top-notch,’ but he couldn’t bring himself to curse at his younger brother again, so he let out a long sigh that he couldn’t hide.
– Thank you. Thank you for taking care of my younger brother.
Then I heard these words:
Along with that, the voice directed at Whitlin continues.
“I’m not the kind of person who will listen to you say I’m crazy about you.”
Calian said with a soft smile.
“Well, I’m really crazy though. I’m really good at climbing up to the crown prince, the supreme crown prince of this country. So, I wonder if there’s something I’m scared of… I’ve been thinking about it.”
Calian, who had just spoken while lifting the hand that had just pulled Plantz down, placed it on the table. However, instead of hitting the table with it, he drew a circle the size of his fist.
– Cards galore!
The thin, beautiful hands moved lightly as if drawing on wet sand. However, there was a deep scratch on the thick marble table in the drawing room where Whitlin had been called.
– Kkauk kkauk…!
Calian’s hand continued to move.
Inside the circle, twelve gold marks are engraved one by one at regular intervals.
“This is the only thing I’m afraid of.”
It was a clock.
It had no hour or minute hands, but it was clearly a clock.
“I’m afraid I’ll regret it this time.”
Kalian called it a little differently.
Calian tapped the clock he had drawn and spoke again.
“No matter what crazy things you do, you can’t change this. No matter what tricks you try, it will never change.”
Plantz, who was sitting next to him, let out a short sigh.
Calian looked at him for a moment before returning his gaze to Whitlin. And I looked into dark eyes that were very similar to Hina’s and Arnaizel’s.
Black light.
It’s the same black color, but why does it feel so different?
Calian, whose appetite had turned bitter at such thoughts, spoke in a subdued voice.
“So look at it clearly. If you can see that I’m crazy, look at yourself too. Look at you right now, even though you have such amazing abilities, you’re useless to anyone.”
Whitlin raised his eyes.
I looked into Calian’s red eyes. I heard a voice addressed to me. I thought of the light purple eyes and voice of the person who was left behind by no one.
“If you don’t want to be crazier than me, tell me what’s inside you. If you’ve done something that’s okay to leave alone, I’ll do whatever it takes to turn a blind eye to it, and if you’ve done something you shouldn’t, I’ll do anything to stop it. Whitlin.”
I gave my first and last chance to Whitlin.
“Are you saying you will help me?”
“In some way.”
Whitlin lowered his eyes again.
He looked at Calian’s hand and the time it created.
“What is it? Are you curious?”
And finally he opened his mouth.
“Everything. “Everything,”
Calian answered.
* * *
– Buuuuung!
A rather hot wind blew at the tip of the heavy sword.
The bonfire hit by the wind shook greatly.
But that was all.
There was no sound of bells among the sound of the wind generated by the sword. .
“It’s awkward.”
“Is it because you’re not used to swords?”
asked Kirie, who was taking bread and bacon out of the wizard’s pocket, warming them up and cooking them. Then Siona shook her head and then nodded again. “
Height has shrunk . It’s awkward that my hair is curly and that the sword is heavy. But more than that…”
He stopped without finishing his words.
When he said that he felt awkward because he couldn’t hear the sound of the bell he always carried, he realized that the person he was talking to was Kirie.
However, he was hiding something . Isn’t Siona just as bad at it as Calian? That’s why she stopped herself from talking, but she couldn’t stop her eyes from reaching the tip of the sword handle. She pretended not to see that.
Kyrie
turned her head towards the bonfire. Then she saw Shio just before. I collected the ashes scattered by the wind and said,
“Prince Calian has saved me materials to make a sword of honor. You will tell me when you meet him.”
“You mean the material for my sword?”
“That’s right.”
“The money is solid.”
Siona, full of joy, put the extra sword that Demirea was carrying into the scabbard.
“To the first prince . I was about to ask if you were planning to sell the territory’s mithril at a low price.”
Then he said this and asked Plantz, or Randel, who was sitting across from him.
“Should we give him preferential treatment just because we have a relationship?”
Kai . The lord of Fabian territory, who owns one of only three mithril mines in Lys, answered,
“What a privilege. It’s a sad thing to say to a talented prosecutor who willingly stepped forward to serve as a guard. Didn’t I tell you to give me Fabian’s golden mithril?”
– …… Thump!
– Sigh!
A thick piece of bacon fell to the floor and fell into the bonfire. The fire that hit the grease made quite a loud noise. Kirie
dropped the bacon she was flipping and hurriedly got up from her seat. Then, she started rummaging through the bag hanging on Iris’ saddle to take out new bacon. She was looking for the bacon. A meticulous person who didn’t pay any attention to the brothers’
territory
. I am not embarrassed to have just found out that Calian bought Fabian’s mithril, carefully refined it, and gave it to Fabian’s lord as a birthday present. That’s right, I’m looking for bacon. “It’s not widely known, so most people don’t know, but you have good ears.” ”
Sle
. This is what I heard from Iman. “I said I tried to get it a long time ago, but gave up because the price was too much.”
Kyrie walked back slowly,
trying not to imagine a heavily muscled Slayman holding a shiny golden sword.
“You and Lord Siegfried are better than the youngest.”
Have some bacon. I should have looked further. As
Kirie walked as slowly as possible and came closer, and sat down, Siona’s words were heard again.
“Of course. Not only Slayman, but my swordsmanship is in no way inferior to Prince Calian’s.”
That’s right.
He said that to become a sword master, you have to train both your mind and body. He said that you must be able to control your mind to be a true sword master. He
repeated these thoughts endlessly, expressionless. Kirie, who had succeeded in maintaining her face, began cooking new bacon again. Then Randel turned his head towards Kirie. “Thanks to you, they
started building a new building in the lord’s castle.” “Tell the youngest that the lord’s agent asked me to express my gratitude.” The
golden mithril, which was rarely actually sold, was disposed of because the price was so high that it was doubtful whether there was any intention to sell it, even though it was not sold intentionally. “… I will do that.”
“
Yes.”
Landel returned his calm green eyes and looked at the bonfire.
This is all because of me. I will do my best to prevent our prince from making such a mistake. I should have looked into it, but it happened because I didn’t. So, from now on, I’ll have to pay close attention to it.
When loyal Tagari started to reflect on this.
– Suddenly,
a blunt voice came into my head.
Kirie almost lost the bacon he was grilling again. I looked at my wrist. The communication bracelet I had lent to Plantz for a while and then returned it was glowing.
– What’s going on, sir?
– I need to talk to you for a moment.
– Okay.
Instead of asking why you sent me among these people? After answering, Kirie stood up and walked to Randel, who was two steps away, and held out the bracelet.
Randel, who narrowed his eyes for a moment at the brief remark that Plantz had something to say, accepted it. Then, Kirie explained the use. After learning the method for a while, I spoke.
– I haven’t been able to repay you yet. I guess there was something to help this time.
The moving magic circle and Fabian were a little further away than Siegfried. Thanks to that, even though I moved diligently, the distance remained. It was late. They wouldn’t arrive until after evening.
Randel, who said he couldn’t even start what he was told to do, looked at Kyrie. That’s because he didn’t hear anything from the other side. So,
take this bracelet back. That
‘s what Randel was about to say . .
– I didn’t send you because you were useful to me.
I heard you say that.
Randel listened silently without answering.
He didn’t say anything until Kirie turned the bacon over again.
– Regardless of whether you don’t like it or not, I trust you, so please go. I asked for it.
The low voice is heard again.
Randel pursed his lips.
– So be careful. Don’t get hit by poisoned food or a sword flying outside the window.
Those words came to me.
Randel, who had not responded for a while, nodded.
– Don’t do that.
I gave a short answer to my younger brother.
