Chapter 23. If such a dayes,


    it will be (7) Kalyan.


    Lemain thought so. The mastermind who destroyed the Heysia Pce was clearly Calian.


    I had heard many times what kind of person Arsene was, but I knew that he would never have done such a huge thing on his own. Although Lemain was a man who thought too much and had no sense, he was not at the point where he overlooked these things without knowing them.


    “What should I do?”


    A building with a long history disappeared in an instant.


    He wouldn’t have done it without thinking. The problem was that I couldn’t figure out the reason.


    LeMaine said, holding his forehead and sighing deeply.


    “Let’s talk about something.”


    The words were directed at n, who was sitting across from him.


    As always, n, who was eating apple jelly with an expression that said it was none of his business, opened his mouth.


    “How much can I tell you?”


    “Just the facts. The real reason, not some ridiculous excuse that Arsene Hertz and that Vulcan made a mistake during training. I want to hear that.”


    n put the fork in his hand down on the table and looked at Lemain and said.


    “If we look at the facts, Your Highness would have destroyed it yourself.”


    “Why does that happen?”


    “Isn’t Heycia a tower built by Your Majesty’s mistakes and errors? It was too high and the shadow didn’t seem to disappear, so Prince Calian simply got rid of it.”


    Kalian said.


    No matter who lived before it, who created it, or how old it is. What does it all have to do with it?


    I wasn’t saying this because I had met a living Cispanian, not a legend. I wasn’t saying this because I had King Secretia in my body, who had no interest in things like Kyris’s history.


    – Should the name of the dead block the path of the living?


    What a big deal it is that Heysia Pce is gone.


    Calian, who had buried the name of another dead person within himself, said so.


    “Your Majesty’s mistake is so great that there is no way to correct it without losing anything, so what should we do? To create a way, it is right to first destroy what is blocking it.”


    Lemain made no excuses.


    He just closed his eyes, leaned back on the sofa, and nodded, and n ryed what Calian had exined without adding any words.


    It was also reported that the forces of Balkan and the Knights would bebined. It was also said that Arsene would get half of it and ntz would get the other half. After hearing that, Lemain opened his eyes for a moment.


    “Why Lord Hertz? If you give half to ntz, half should be Calian’s.”


    Even though the overallmander of the Balkan corps was n, and even though n was a Calian man, he looked as if he thought it was a little strange.


    “It doesn’t matter.”


    n’s answer followed immediately.


    It was Calian’s answer rather than n’s words. This is because n also asked the same thing.


    Kalyan was a ruler.


    I haven’t put my name anywhere, but Vulcan, the Magic Academy, the Fallun Merchant Marine, the Whittrin Territory, and even the soon-to-be-created Knights of Aizen are all under Kallian’s control. Aren’t the people whomand them all Kalyan’s people?


    Ironically, n answered this while thinking of Calian, who only put my name on the cat’s cor that did not follow me.


    “First of all… I understand.”


    In any case, Lemain had nothing more to say since he was said to be most responsible for the destruction of that pce.


    “The punishment must be meted out.”


    When Lemain simply answered that he understood without saying anything, n said this.


    If you think about it, n was quite sensitive to rewards and punishments. They are saying that they wille forward and impose punishment in case this incident is overlooked. Every time I saw Lemain, I would criticize him and ask him, ‘What did you do well?’


    In any case, Lemain also knew that this was not something that could be overlooked quietly, so Lemain nodded and said.


    “You should do that.”


    “Lord Hertz asked me to deduct the cost of rebuilding the pce from his sry, so you may want to refer to this.”


    After saying this, n took another piece of jelly and ate it.


    He didn’t seem too worried about his subordinate’s sry, because he knew Arsene had said the same thing before when he destroyed Gray’s carriage.


    In the end, didn’t Calian pay for the carriage?


    Well, to be exact, Calian, who picked up the money that Silike had given to Knight Tail to kill Arsene, returned it to Silike, saying it was for Gray’s carriage. So, in the end, Silike paid for the carriage, but it was true that Calian had originally decided to pay.


    And this was something Lemain also knew.


    Therefore, Lemain called Chambein Raoul with a slight smile and spoke.


    “Until the reconstruction of Heysia Pce ispleted, Vice Commander Hertz’s sry will be reduced to 1 florin. In addition, no support will be paid to Prince Calian until the reconstruction ispleted.”


    nughed.


    Because it was truly a show-style punishment.


    Melfir, a solid merchant merchant, was making good profits not only from the Fallun merchants but also from the magic academy. The same was true for Whitlin Estate. Therefore, even if the subsidy disappeared and an amount equivalent to double Arsene’s original sry was withdrawn every month, Calian’s coffers would be healthy.


    n opened his mouth, holding up a cup of fruit-vored ck tea.


    “I wonder if the prince knows that the subsidy is gone.”


    Then he made a slurping sound and took a sip of the warm ck tea.


    Anyway, that’s a disgusting mouth. Lemain also knew that Calian’s treasury was iparablyrger than his own.


    Then I suddenly remembered that yman, who had gone to the hot springs, went to Siegfried’s estate without stopping by the pce.


    “ah.”


    I remembered the money that yman had borrowed.


    * * *


    Bern.


    In front of others, they were the king and his guard, and when the royal family gathered, they were the king and emperor. And when they were together, they were older brother and younger brother.


    ‘Still, I’m d there’s one thing I’m better at than you.’


    In private, I always used this convenient title when speaking. And he always humbled himself like this. They say there is nothing better than a chase other than holding a sword.


    ‘I don’t know what makes you worse than me.’


    When Chase heard such stories, he always responded like this. Everything is the same as Chase, but Bern is better because he even handles a sword.


    It wasn’t a lie.


    Of course, Bern never acknowledged this fact. Chase also realized that he had never seen Chase thinking like that.


    – In some ways, he was better than me.


    Bern made a good distinction.


    I knew exactly where words were needed, where a sword was needed, and where tolerance was needed. That’s how he cajoled people, kicked them out, and made them his own.


    He was excellent at dealing with and managing people.


    Therefore, Den wanted to give the throne to Bern. For a king, there was no skill more important than gathering people well and using them properly.


    And Verne used that ability to help Chase, who became king instead of bing king himself.


    “It’s still the same.”


    Chase, who had been going through his memories for a moment, quietly opened his mouth.


    As soon as I heard the general details from n, I knew what Calian was thinking. It was Bern who had done something simr in Secretia. Kalian still distinguished well, did not hesitate, and used his people well.


    Chase frowned for a moment as he remembered the name of the wizard who was most closely involved in this matter.


    Arsene Hertz.


    A Balkan wizard who fights right in front of a knight who breaks his sword using an ice spear. And now a genius wizard who has be Prince Calian’s man.


    “Do you… have no boundaries when ites to epting things instead of throwing them away?”


    Of course I remember how miserable the end of Bern was. Even if you haven’t experienced it yourself, even if it was just a nightmare, you will never forget the horror of it.


    When I thought of that, thest memory of the cold I had experienced also came to mind.


    Chase shook his head andughed briefly, thinking that he probably shouldn’t tell anyone about that.


    Bern and Calian were definitely better than Chase.


    * * *


    An army of wizards that everyone looked down on.


    Look how powerful they have be.


    It was as if he was saying this.


    – Vulcan!


    Lemain did not inform the outside world that the Cispanian anti-magic defenses installed in Heysia Pce were destroyed. This was because it was nned to be restored and there was no benefit in reporting that there was a security problem.


    Because of this, the rumors became even more exaggerated.


    Just once.


    It wasn’t even the magic of the Go Circle. Among the students at the magic academy, there were very few who could not create a fireball.


    I just collected those fireballs and only fired them once. And the Heysia Pce, which was ‘protected by magic’, copsed in that attack. It took less than a minute for about 50 fireballs to reduce a pce to rubble.


    Calian, who was sitting on the sofa with a rxed face, muttered with a long smile.


    “It’s because I became this famous.”


    Of course, it was not Kalian who became famous, but Balkan and Lemain. LeMaine’s neck is bing slightly stiffer.


    However, the timing of these rumors was very strange, and the name of Balkan came about amidst the noise caused by rumors of an arranged marriage with Dmirea. As a result, people who were reminded of the rtionship between Balkan corpsmander An Manasil and his disciple Calian naturally started talking about Calian and Balkan together.


    And Jan muttered something like, “How on earth can you say that my flower-like prince and my younger sister are engaged to be married?” That probably didn’t mean that Dmirea was a waste, so Calian just smiled with an embarrassed expression on his face.


    “The prince’s support has been cut off.”


    Jan, who had provided detailed information about what had happened outside the pce during the day, ryed what had been conveyed by Raoul, Lemain’s chambein, the night before.


    “There was a subsidy.”


    Calian, who had been nodding his head moderately while saying this, opened his mouth.


    “Starting from this month, I will take care of Lord Hertz’s sry myself. It will be double the original sry.”


    “I understand. But will you also contribute to the cost of rebuilding Heisia Pce?”


    “I thought about doing that, but I decided not to. It’s time to form a knighthood with Count Eifrin, so I think we need to use it sparingly for now.”


    “Yes, my prince.”


    “Then let’s eat. I’m hungry.”


    Kalian, who received all the reports and gave all instructions, stood up and said this. Then, after walking towards the terrace, he stepped on the terrace railing, jumped lightly, and disappeared.


    ‘I will eat on the 4th floor starting today. I will go back and forth on my own, so please bring it to the 4th floor. Don’t forget to hide it well enough so that it doesn’t get noticed by the escorts.’


    I had already told Jan, so instead of being surprised, Jan just let out a short sigh.


    What do you do if you block the door?


    The window is open!


    * * *


    – What.


    – Bread.


    – I’m asking what you’re doing.


    – Aren’t we going to eat?


    -Why are you like this? continue.


    – He said he wanted to live.


    So, buy it.


    continue.


    Because I will let you live.
