Chapter 45. To see the sea (3)

…… it looks like dust.

It looks like Anne’s fur that was always on that guy’s cardigan.

I am not a crow in a flock of swans, I am the only one who is black. I’m alone. I feel alone and gloomy, and I feel like a criminal caught doing something bad, but what is this? What is the situation?

This guy, that guy, and everyone else was white, and yet, the haughty and alone Kalyan, who was completely black, lowered his hand that was covering his face. Reric, who saw this, glanced at another servant who was standing with him, and the servant who was approaching with something made a cautious voice.

“It is conquest, Prince Calian.”

The Prince’s Conquest.

Calian looked at the black suit, similar to the black suit he was currently wearing under his robe, but properly formal, and lowered his head and smiled.

“Very…”

You were very determined.

Planz.

Calian, who was laughing while swallowing the words he couldn’t say out loud in this place, accepted the conquest and laughed again. I was so shocked that I laughed for a while, and with my eyes filled with tears from laughing so hard, I opened the black leather bag attached to Raven’s saddle and stuffed the stuff I had received into it.

Aside from the ones borrowed from Alan, the cumbersome uniform and red cloak were neatly placed in Raven’s bag connected to Calian’s space.

“older brother.”

Calian, who closed the bag, called out Planz, who was looking at him blankly, and then moved slowly. The quiet sound of hooves reached Reric’s ears a few times before suddenly becoming quiet.

It is the manifestation of silence.

“Could you please explain what the situation is?”

“It’s my conquest, but I think it’ll suit my brother as well.”

Of course, what Calian was curious about right now was not such a trivial matter, but Plantz, who could not have been unaware of this fact, only said what he had to say. Calian, who was frustrated by that, answered briefly.

“Not that.”

“I explained why I wanted to go with you. Are there any other problems?”

“You know it’s not something you should do, and you know why, so why are you doing this? If you want to help me that much, I’ll just take the crew with me. That’s enough to negotiate.”

“The words of a guy who only took power without authority would make sense.”

Calian laughed when he heard that there was no use in taking only the crew without anyone who was actually in a position to move Vulkan.

“From the beginning, I planned to go with only my power. No authority, just power. I will leave behind the conquests of the wizard, the knight, and the prince, and my brother, and just go by myself. Even if I go like that, it will end well enough.”

“Doesn’t that mean that it’s advantageous to end well?”

“Just because it’s disadvantageous doesn’t mean it’s impossible.”

“Why do you want to take the easy route and go alone?”

“If I go alone, it will be resolved without any other problems.”

“Don’t bark.”

A sneer appeared on Planz’s lips.

“I don’t think I have any intention of using that position to catch snakes. I don’t want to use what the 3rd Prince Kairis has for something related to King Secretia.”

“What are you saying?”

“Do you hate it? Or are you sorry?”

Only after hearing these words did Calian finally understand the situation. I found out why Plantz was blocking the road, even shouting ‘my one and only brother’.

He was reluctant to use his authority as a ‘Calian’ to resolve the matter with Devlan, so he thought he ran away from the palace alone and caused this mess.

Calian shook his head and opened his mouth as if to clear up a misunderstanding.

“It’s not that I don’t like it, and I’m not sorry. It’s completely different from who I decided to live as. I’m not even worrying about that anymore.”

“Then what is it?”

“I’m doing this not because I feel indebted to this position, but because I feel burdened by it. If I bring in troops to a problem related to another country and things go wrong, there will be war. As you know, I am not a person who has any intention of starting a war.”

“I think it’s okay since I came here instead of the blue-haired wizard. If something goes wrong, I can just use the second prince who brought the Balkan soldiers as an escort instead of the vice commander who brought the army. Will there be a problem?”

“You speak so easily. Do you know that this is an issue that will also affect the royal family?”

Plantz looked at Calian with an expression that seemed like it was no big deal.

“I explained it to His Highness, received permission to recruit members from the Manasil Corps commander, and discussed it with the blue-haired wizard.”

“older brother.”

“I got consent from the Vulcan crew, including the pink-haired wizard who likes salt, to accompany me, so it’s okay.”

“older brother.”

“Marquis Briesen is still out of his mind, so he can’t plan anything else just because the two princes are outside. Brother Randel’s heart is still tied up, so I don’t think he’ll think of closing the palace if his two younger brothers disappear.”

“Brother, please.”

“Do I have to feel any more pressure than this?”

“Planz.”

“…… why.”

Planz glared at the person who had interrupted him.

“You know very well that you don’t have to come forward, but I’m not the one who’s looking for an excuse to go with you and putting it out there. You’re stubborn…” “Don’t

treat me like Chase. It’s annoying.”

So Plantz cut his words in the same way.

“I think we talked about it. I have no intention of stepping back and leaving everything to you.”

Planz looked straight at the person in the flame-filled eyes. Slow words flowed from his mouth.

“If you saved your life and taught you, use it properly. Don’t get stabbed again thinking of taking the easy route.”

“… You speak very well.”

“Thanks to my brother for teaching me so well.”

A deep sigh flowed from Calian’s mouth as he frowned. They tell me to use what they taught me, but I wonder what more they can say. So, in the end, I have no choice but to get bitten in the foot again.

“Wouldn’t it be great to talk that long like that on a regular basis?”

Nevertheless, the discomfort did not subside, so Calian, who muttered to himself as if telling me to listen, opened his mouth again.

“I’m going to threaten a tree. I don’t know if it’s something this serious, but… I understand that it’s all me who did it in the end. You can come with me as you wish.”

I don’t know if it was permission or agreement, but in any case, Plantz nodded, saying that he would no longer object and would accompany him.

“But brother.”

But Calian’s words were not over.

“What else?”

Calian extended one finger and pointed at Plantz.

To be precise, Calian stretched out his hand toward the immaculate uniform, rather than a planz, and continued speaking.

“You’re so smart, so you already know this, but since I have to use a magic circle to move, my luggage is very simple, and of course I don’t have a cook.”

Calian let out a voice full of anticipation, pretending not to have seen the face of Planz, who couldn’t even eat undercooked steak, let alone grilled cod, and had only seen him sit on the floor three times.

“My older brother, who grew up well… I guess he came prepared to sleep on the street instead of trying to stab me in the back.”

Kalian’s bright red lips drew a long line.

* * *

It was about the thickness of a book.

It was about the size of three of Alan’s palms put together.

‘It’s not the time to send gifts, but I brought this separately, Marquis.’

I received it through Euria.

I sent a mission to Riverne at Calian’s request to replace out where the other two wizards of the 7th Circle were and what they were doing. Since the gift arrived later, it was probably the answer to Alan’s question.

“How can you make such grandiose claims when you can just use birds?”

Alan muttered while looking at the transparent crystal plate, then closed his eyes for a moment. After inserting various old things in the sharp eyes, he infused magic into the crystal plate.

– Ugh…….

Light appeared on the crystal plate along with a slight vibration.

It was my first time seeing this item, but Alan wasn’t so clueless that he didn’t know how to use it.

How much time has passed like that?

When you can no longer feel any scent at the tip of your nose, which has become accustomed to the strong scent of coffee. A face as familiar as the scent of coffee appeared as if drawn on the correction board that had been set up.

And no words were exchanged for a while.

“You’re still naughty.”

Then, something playful like this was said.

Alan raised his eyebrows as he looked at the bright blonde hair that wasn’t brown at all and the dark pink eyes.

“As your abilities get better and you get older, wouldn’t it be okay to lose some of your habits?”

“But I knew how to say hello.”

“I didn’t think there was a need to discuss something like that.”

The face inside the crystal plate smiled brightly.

“long time no see.”

“It’s been a long time since I saw you, King of Riverne.”

Elin asked, seeing that Alan had not changed except for his hair, which was a little longer than the last time she saw him.

“You look a little tired?”

“It’s because I haven’t been able to sleep well these days. Don’t worry.”

Eline nodded slightly at those words and opened her mouth again.

“Okay. So what should I say now? It’s too bleak to end the conversation by just telling you what you were curious about. Should I start by bragging about the new communication magic I created in Riverne? Or maybe you should nag your country’s taciturn king like that too. Should I ask?”

“Now that I can see how amazing the newly created communication magic is, that’s it. I’m tired of even talking about someone who is just like a cow, so that’s it too.”

“Hmm. Then what should I talk about?”

After contemplating something to talk about for a while, Eline finally couldn’t replace the right words and spoke up the main point she wanted to convey as late as possible.

“The two wizards are in the magic tower right now. I’ve been watching them, but I haven’t seen anything suspicious yet.”

“As I told you, if their power reaches the Archmage, it will be difficult to stop them. Watch carefully so that the magic bullet does not catch fire. Of course, the same goes for other High Circle mages.”

“It’s hard to imagine how dangerous it is to make an ordinary person use the sword master’s power. We’ll look into it with that much care, so don’t worry too much.”

“Okay. If you have any problems, please contact me right away.”

After saying this, Alan tapped the revision board and said.

“I will keep this by my side and keep an eye on it at all times.”

“It’s expensive. It’s more expensive than your carriage, so don’t break it by touching it like that.”

Alan smiled and nodded.

That was the last time the words stopped. It was because I had gotten to the point and had nothing more to say.

Perhaps she was a bit disappointed or had other questions, Eline did not end the conversation and just quietly looked at Alan. So in the end, Alan spoke first.

“How is your son?”

Eline pursed her lips.

The old things that Alan swallowed appeared on Eline’s face for a moment and then disappeared.

The king, who knew that he was the one who took his son away from the archmage, but who had to prevent him from even avenging his son’s loss, let out a long, silent breath. The regret of a person who owes a debt that cannot be repaid no matter what precious thing in the world can be gifted and who will have to repay it until the day he or she dies is fleeting.

“I put a small crown on it.”

The king, who had no right to remain silent, quietly opened his mouth.

“He’s so meddlesome in everything. It’s a bit of a pain in the ass, but I’m getting along without any problems.”

“That’s right. It’s a good thing it doesn’t seem to be going astray any more.”

“okay.”

“Don’t worry about me. “I’m doing well.”

And then, Allen brought out the answer to what Eline was most curious about and shook Eline’s head. After lowering her head for a moment and

accepting Alan’s words, Eline looked at Alan again and smiled. I laughed.

“Am I a bad person if I say thank you for letting me know?”

“Does it matter since you don’t want anything to get worse?”

“Of course, that’s true. It won’t get any worse.”

Alan said something else to Eline, who nodded slowly as she answered this.

“I have a new son.”

Eline looked at Alan in silence.

“I’m feeling sick inside . He is such a pretty guy that he makes his father suffer so much. He is a deep-hearted child who does not try to fill an empty space but creates a new one.”

The wizard, who is forgiving one by one by accepting everything that is precious in the world without rejecting it, concluded with a gentle smile.

“So, take care when I see you next time . Wouldn’t it be okay if you ask me first?”

Eline’s mouth shook for a moment and then made something similar to a smile.

“…… Yes. I’ll do that next time.”

It was both a thank you and an apology.

Alan, who understood everything, nodded.

* * *

I ran for a whole day.

There was no rush, but I didn’t move leisurely either.

I stayed at the palace for a long time . There was a reason why it couldn’t be left empty, but there was a slightly different reason than that.

“So, the meal…”

Out of concern, I ate the meal that Reric had packed for lunch. I asked the wizards for preservation magic. Since I’m not a great person to bring my own food, I only packed one meal.

Thank you.

“Remove all the flower decorations. There is no need to go through any trouble to decorate it. Cook all the meat thoroughly and use no spices as much as possible. Don’t serve seafood. It would be nice to have a lot of vegetables, but bell peppers are fine. Cook all the onions… no, just leave out the onions. I hope the bread isn’t rye, but just white bread without anything else will do. Oh, are there any peas? It would be good to add some peas. Lots of peas. A lot.”

As soon as we arrived at Siegfried’s city of Citren, Calian was busy.

I knew it would be like this.

I should have brought Reric with me. It was the two lowest-ranking knights who

informed the mayor in advance of the two princes’ visit and had them prepare lodging and food. That’s about it. It was okay, but the problem was the appetite of that well-bred guy. You can’t tell the driver that in detail and have him tell the market’s cook. “Actually,

I’ve been among the drivers, drinking and dancing, and I’ve even gotten into fist fights. I tried it a bit and we slept together a lot.”

Calian, who was sitting across from Plantz, opened his mouth as he looked at the food in front of him. Plantz, who saw his younger brother, who had suddenly manifested Silence, smiling, answered quietly. “My brother

. “I think you’re going to bark again.”

“But this is my first time playing the role of someone’s servant. Thanks to you, I get to try something new again. “Brother.”

“Noisy.”

“I am gaining experience and becoming angry. It’s really good.”

“I never ordered it.”

Yes, I didn’t order it

. He said he would eat whatever he was given and live with whatever was provided.

So what would he do?

As soon as Kalyan, who was hungry just before the sun set, saw the wild chicken he had excitedly caught, he looked up with a stiff expression on his face. What should I do with the pale guy who was nodding?

Thanks to him, I let go of the chicken I had caught and just came to Siegfried’s Territory. I forgot the memory of him laughing at me and asking if I was prepared to sleep out on the street, so I rushed over and came back.

“Brother, will you just stay here? I think it would be faster if I went alone.”

“I don’t want to.”

Calian, who was smiling, nodded and opened his mouth.

“Yes. Then have a meal. It may be different from the royal palace rice, but it will be better than that chicken from earlier. You won’t be able to have dinner like this for a while starting tomorrow, so eat a lot.”

Planz, who had no intention of responding, frowned as he looked at the mountain of pea salad. It wasn’t that he didn’t know who did it, but he was a bit tired from fighting over something like that. “Peas

. There are a lot of them.”

“Stop barking.”

“I didn’t bark. Just because there are a lot of peas. But I don’t know why the peas were cooked so soft. It’s so mushy.”

It’s like someone watching a wild chicken, but this is it.

“You.”

“Yes.”

I’m annoyed, but if I get annoyed, it’s obvious that the pea understands what I’m saying, so I can’t speak, but I’m annoyed that I stay still.

” …… Just stop.”

I never thought I would miss Lucy and Anne this

much. I furrowed my brows as the feeling that I had come here for no reason, which I didn’t even notice when I saw the wild chickens,

clicked.

The door to the restaurant where the princes continued their meal opened at will. .

Calian, who had been sitting in his seat and laughing heartily just a moment ago, looked towards the door. And Planz looked at the shield that had formed in front of him. “I can’t believe you came

so suddenly again. Did you two come together this time?”

With these words, a large man entered. He was a man who could come to the princes’ place without asking for permission. Hearing the familiar voice,

Calian stood up with a happy face.

“Siegfried . Ball.”

The shield made in front of Plants disappeared.

Instead, Calian’s back was seen.

“It’s been a while, but it’s nice to meet you. Were you nearby?”

“Yes, my prince. “I had some business to do so I was nearby for a while.”

“Is that so? But why is the ball like this…”

Calian, who paused for a moment without erasing the happy smile on his face, opened his mouth again.

“Is the smell of blood strong?”

Callie asked while blocking Plantz’s path. Slayman, who looked inside, realized what a misunderstanding he had caused and burst out laughing. He then held out his empty hand and said,

“Oh no. Since the guest was visiting for a short time, I didn’t know if it was to meet him or send him off. Don’t misunderstand.”

“You’re a guest.”

Slayman looked towards Plants for a moment and opened his mouth.

“Siona Hill. Do you know?”

Siona Hill.

Kalian’s eyes narrowed when he heard the name of the person he was looking for.
