Chapter 53. It seems irrational (6),

so. It is mourning clothes.

It wasn’t something I had intended to do since I normally wear black clothes, but I felt that way today.

Mayrin, the head of the Magicians Association of Secretia, joined hands with Zeon.

As is well known, the Sejaks used a lot of magic items. Just as Aila has magical bullets, a hairpin containing poison with magical power, and a thin bracelet for disguise. It was also Bern’s responsibility to create and provide such things. So, I met Maylin Ronds quite a few times and we became reasonably close to each other.

Now, Devlan is still doing that work.

“Rather than saying they turned their backs on Devlan or Secretia, I think they may have never had faith in them to begin with. A wizard’s faith is not easily broken.”

“I guess so.”

There is no way Devlan could have won Meirin’s trust.

In the end, Bern’s vacancy was revealed again.

So I thought it was mourning clothes.

It was a mourning dress to reflect on Bern’s absence, and it was also a mourning dress to pray for Devlan’s death. Anyway, it was mourning clothes. Kalyan wore mourning clothes.

“The day before yesterday, Lord Castrin met with nobles on behalf of Crown Prince Chase.”

Aela’s voice called Calian.

Calian, who had been looking down at the black embroidery decorating the sleeves of his black jacket, looked up.

I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but Aila said something else instead of talking about the president of the association.

“I think I came forward because the issue is serious. I don’t want it to be noticed by other people.”

“Did you hand me that material from your mother?”

Eila nodded.

“Yes. It wasn’t everything, just that Devlan was sick, the information that Marquis Lin had been blocking Tensil’s priests, and the families that disappeared at the hands of Devlan.”

“What’s the reaction?”

“I heard the response was better than I expected. The nobles were very curious about what happened that day when His Majesty the Crown Prince committed suicide outside the palace at night.”

“That’s why Marquis Lin came out so quickly.”

“Yes. The Marquis of Manasil gave a warning from the front, and the nobles began to move thanks to Plantz and Chase from behind, so Devlan was also bitten in the first place.”

“okay.”

A long sigh came from Calian’s mouth as he answered softly.

Resembles.

Kalian and Planz are similar. Calian had said that directly to Plantz, so what more can I say?

They definitely look alike. Know.

But no matter what.

“What were you thinking when you did such a thing?”

“The prince knows that if only there had been data, the nobles would not have believed and been swayed so easily. The results were not bad, so why do you have such a face?”

“It’s not a matter of results.”

Calian was silent for a moment.

I know why Louise followed Calian’s method exactly. Devlan may have done it on purpose to remind him of Kalian, so it is absolutely the wrong choice to poison him, but it is understandable that he made that decision.

But not Planz.

“Do you not like the fact that the prince followed what he did when dealing with Silike?”

“I don’t understand. Ayla.”

rumor.

It may not seem like a big deal, but it shook the foundation of Silike. Wasn’t that Calian’s first move to bring down the tall and strong tower of Silike?

“My older brother is so limitless in what he learns and practices… It’s as if he has no reason.”

A sarcastic or lamenting tone came out.

Since I followed the method that caused the guy who was my whole world to break Sillike, I wonder if there is a need for one side of his head to turn in a slightly different direction than the others and even look similar to the way it stays in place. I have no choice but to listen.

“Your Majesty the Crown Prince must have been very angry. If you received something, you should repay it. If you are angry, you should vent your anger. Whatever method is necessary, it is right to use it.”

Aila gave an answer that was typical of Aila.

Smiling, Calian nodded and brought up again the topic that Aela had put off.

“Yes. Regarding that, did you get any information from the president of the association?”

Eila shook her head.

I didn’t like the hairpin shaking together for some reason, so I looked at it. Then, Aela’s calm voice reached Calian’s ears again.

“Until this morning, Marquis Lin had met and talked to him in person, but his mouth is heavy. Devlan also said that he called Zeon’s warriors through the Association President, but only the circumstances have been confirmed. And it was said that Lord Castrin will meet the Association President in person tonight. “I heard it.”

“I think it would be better for me to go.”

“I thought you didn’t have any interest in torture.”

“I have no hobbies.”

“Then just stay. This is no longer my prince or my country.”

Eila, who didn’t know what to say, broke Calian’s slumber.

“That’s right. I keep forgetting that.”

“Yes. So don’t think about anything else and come to your senses, Prince. Don’t get hurt like that again.”

“He came to me saying he was going to kill me. Are you already worried?”

Eila’s eyes frowned for a moment and then returned. Then Aila gave a truly unexpected answer.

“It hasn’t been long since the owner changed. I don’t like meeting the new owner before I get used to it.”

Calian laughed slightly at these words.

“Yes. It would be difficult for me to meet another master.”

Eila’s hairpin shakes once again.

Calian thought he would have to change that first when he got back, so he checked the time for a moment and then asked.

“Hina, is everything okay?”

“Yes. To avoid raising suspicion, not only I but other knights are taking turns going together. The other knights are also going in and out in pairs, so it won’t be particularly noticeable.”

“Something else I need to know.”

“Nothing. Right now.”

“okay.”

“What are you going to do now?”

Calian closed the silent curtain.

When the translucent film that had slightly obscured my vision disappeared, I could clearly see the begonia flower field that was filling the surrounding area.

“What I will do.”

Eila’s head tilted slightly.

A person who had come to pick up Calian could be seen from a little distance away. He is the chamberlain of Devlan.

Aela, who noticed who Calian was meeting again, immediately asked.

“Can’t we go together?”

“You’re going to take out the knife. No.”

Soon Calian unbuttoned the top button of the shirt that was tight around his neck. And then I stretched a little.

It wasn’t visible where other people were, but who cares? The only people watching are Aela and Devlan’s servants who have nothing to do with Calian.

It might be okay to loosen up a little bit.

“I will be back.”

Aela, who noticed a slight change in Calian’s mood, nodded.

“Yes. Please come back.”

And he calmly answered that he would put the knife away and wait.

* * *

The main palace of the Secretia Royal Palace is a bit unique.

A rectangular shape with a huge water garden in the middle. In other words, there were two long buildings and two shorter buildings connected to form a square shape. It is said that the palace that was first built was expanded and became like that.

Thanks to this, no matter where I went in the main palace, I could see an external garden full of begonia flowers through the window facing outside, and a water garden out of the window facing inside the main palace.

– I think it’s even more interesting because there is no place like this in the Kairis Palace.

-Not really.

There was a huge fountain in the middle of the water garden, which was blocked on all sides by the main palace building, and there were smaller fountains at each corner. The five fountains were connected to each other by small channels, and there were three more wide channels that ran through the garden. Marble was placed like stepping stones in the middle, and magic lanterns were installed on top of it.

Therefore, the place where the sun shines during the day and the shallow water always sparkles in the light of the lanterns at night presents a sight that cannot be seen in Kairis. If it had been Hatsuara, it would have been made to look like a stream flowing across a wide field rather than an artificially angled waterway.

– I like the artificial lake and stream at Kairis Palace, but I also like this place because it is really pretty. I think I’ll want to see it again when I go back later.

– okay.

I somehow became rich in bracelets.

One is connected to Chase, and the other is connected to Hina’s earring.

Kyrie, who could not leave Calian’s side after Calian fell asleep, left it to Plantz in a hurry. Since the only people in the palace that day were Plants and Chase, I really had no choice but to leave it to them. And Plantz hasn’t returned the bracelet yet. Because Kirie was sleeping right now.

Anyway, Plantz was on his way to meet the crazy blue-haired wizard who he didn’t want to see more than twice a day, but had no choice but to stick around with for most of the day.

As I was walking through the corridor on the first floor, I saw a prosecutor with his sea-green hair tied up in a hairpin. The story Calian had told me a moment ago came to mind, and I looked at Aila without realizing it. Then, Aila looked towards Plants, and Hina, who was with her, turned her head to follow Aila. And called.

‘Oh, that’s good. Crown Prince, please escort me.’

Hina, who had a completely different look thanks to Aila’s magic tool, said this.

‘It’s Bridget’s turn to look after my escort, but she said she has something to do with Prince Calian. ‘I’ll follow you around pretending to escort the Crown Prince for a moment.’

Then he added this and smiled brightly.

Sunburned face, changed hair color and eyes, increased height and physique. Everything has changed, but the smiling face remains the same. The voice I hear in my head is the same.

Come to think of it, I did grow taller.

It will decrease though.

‘… something like that.’

When I thought about that, I didn’t say it out loud, but I felt a little sorry for thinking Hina was small. So, for a short time, a knight pretended to follow the crown prince and the crown prince escorted the knight. Until Aila comes back. Arsene is a person who can wait a bit, so I didn’t mind.

I walked around the garden while listening to the sound of water flowing everywhere, pretending to be leisurely looking at the garden with nothing to do. I didn’t need to look at Hina’s hands, but I kept looking down at them out of habit.

quiet.

Only the sound of water from the fountain fills my ears with the sound of water flowing beneath my feet.

– Is it really okay if you don’t receive any more treatment?

– are you okay.

– Please tell me if it hurts. The Duke is good at protecting, Brigitte is good at fighting, but I am good at fixing things.

– okay.

– But don’t hurt yourself on purpose. Like last time, if I drink something strange again, I’ll get really sick… and I’ll get angry. I was happy because I didn’t have to worry about my brother getting hurt, but Prince Calian and Crown Prince Plants started getting hurt, so I’m not happy at all.

Plantz once again made an unfamiliar face.

– okay.

That is correct. Hina is good at fixing things.

I had so many thoughts, but all I could hear was the sound of water.

The long nagging and the reason for saying those words are unfamiliar to me. I think unfamiliar things are still strange, but I don’t hate them. Plantz laughed very softly.

okay. Really good at fixing things.

While I was thinking about that, suddenly. I had a doubt.

“Hina.”

– yes.

Hina looked at Plants at the voice she heard with her ears, not her head.

“Callian’s…”

Planz, who was saying this, closed his mouth and spoke again in his head.

– Removed the poison from Kalian’s body.

– There was no poison this time, but I’ve tried it before. The concubine here is also getting rid of it by drinking poison.

– Then what if?

Plantz’s words paused for a moment.

My rapidly spinning mind came up with a hypothesis.

– If there is a stone in your heart. Is it possible to treat that as a pain and fix it?

– A stone?

It was something I had never done before. Therefore, Hina, who had been thinking with her lips tightly closed, lifted her head happily. It was really nice to see that it was moving up and down.

– The healer at Kairis Palace told me that there is such a disease. There are also diseases caused by stones growing in the body. Now that I’ve learned how to fix it, I think it’s possible, even if it’s a stone in my heart.

There may be a way to reverse it.

There might be a way to neutralize them without killing them.

Plantz lowered his eyes. And I continued my thoughts once again.

“We meet again in a place like this.”

But then a voice interrupted Plantz’s thoughts.

While walking to meet Calian, a person directly approached the two people he noticed.

It was Devlan.

‘We must never meet Hina. Even if you meet them, you must not be caught. If someone talks to you, step back. Don’t use your hands or nod. I will never leave you alone, so whoever is with you, stay back.’

Kalian’s warning rang in Hina’s ears.

Hina took a step.

For a split second, the foot left the floor turned backwards and then forward again. I put one foot forward and stepped forward. Didn’t step back.

Right now, Hina is neither a healer nor a count. Because he’s dressed like a knight. Because the person I was with was the crown prince. If someone were to escort Plants, they wouldn’t have the Crown Prince, who caused Devlan a lot of trouble due to his drunkenness, stand in front of Devlan.

So I stepped forward to Plantz.

And it was late.

– Jeopuk.

Plantz, who took a step longer than Hina, naturally stood in front of Hina. When Devlan’s gaze turned towards Hina, Plantz greeted him.

“I meet His Majesty the King of Secretia.”

Devlan moved his head slightly to receive the greeting and spoke.

“I came here for a while because it seemed like you were having a leisurely time.”

“I felt like I was disturbing Your Majesty’s leisure, so I was quietly thinking about it.”

Devlan laughed.

Calian smiled with the same face he used when he could not hold back any longer.

“Do not disturb me. Yes. I think you know.”

“Come with me.”

And then another voice joined in.

“Let’s talk about it, not my brother.”

Dressed in black mourning clothes at the edge of a water garden sparkling under the sunlight. A smiling person with the same face as Devlan was standing there.

“……father.”

Plantz closed his eyes after seeing the Silent spread out in front of Hina’s feet.

ah.

I think my brother has gone crazy.
