Chapter 50. Because it was for publicity purposes (5),


    it took a year to oust Silike.


    It took two years to get rid of Evan.


    Then what about Den?


    – Knock knock knock.


    When I arrived at the Secretia Pce, I looked back on my memories, talked to people I had missed, and without any time left, I first met Den. It would be more urate to say we were called rather than meeting, but we met anyway. Without taking our eyes off each other for a single moment, we shared the poison trapped in the guise of words.


    The fingers holding the ss cup filled with cold mint tea made a slow sound. From morning until noon, the only thing that entered my body was the mouthful of mint tea in my hand and the sweet scent of coffee I smelled in the morning.


    Nevertheless, the reason I don’t feel hungry is…


    “I took a lot of poison, but.”


    Since there was so much poison exchanged between us, we couldn’t help but feel full even if we didn’t eat anything in particr.


    As soon as he returned to the room, Calian uncharacteristically sat down on the sofa and thought while tapping the ss dozens of times with the tips of his fingers that were on the armrest.


    The poisonous sleeping scent prepared by Queen Dianna and concubine Louise is no longer delivered. After learning of Chase’s change of mind and Louise’s betrayal, Den no longer lets his guard down. So, if we leave it as is, Den will live with minor illness and then get treatment somehow.


    A snake creature forgives no one and forgets nothing, so Den will not give up his revenge on Chase and Louise or his deep care for Calian.


    So what should I do?


    ‘What else should I do with this? Looking at it, I think it would be a big regret for me to send this happy person back.’


    ‘It’s okay to not worry unnecessarily. Your Majesty will never see me return.’


    How should I get rid of that snake by burning its poison?


    The prince of Kairis. The King of Secretia. how.


    – Knock knock knock.


    Originally, he staged a y by showing off his red aura in order to raise suspicion about his connection with Zeon, but he was hit in the back by ntz. Thanks to this, there wasn’t enough time to make Den, who was concerned about what Louise had done, take an interest in Calian.


    So I barked at Den in front of me.


    In the end, Den barked until words of concern for Calian’s safety came out of his mouth. It may have been a different method than what he had nned, but he managed to keep Louise’s attention focused on himself.


    Afterwards, a long discussion continues.


    To first kill and eliminate the person who looks exactly like you and is thinking the same thing at this moment.


    “Kiri.”


    Without knowing how many minutes or hours had passed, I opened my mouth quietly and Kyrie, who had been guarding the door ever since Calian returned, came inside.


    “Please call Sir Hertz. Quietly and without being seen.”


    “Yes, prince.”


    Kirie briefly bowed her head and went out.


    Calian was about to add that there was no need to stand guard outside like that, but he just kept his mouth shut.


    It wasn’t long before Kirie came back in. The visit was open and closed for a little longer than before. And Calian opened his mouth a little while after Kyrie, looking towards the empty door.


    “Come and sit down, Lord Hertz.”


    Along with him, Arsene appeared as if a screen hung in the air had been removed. Arsene followed Kyrie in with an invisibility spell, greeted him, and then sat down across from Calian.


    “I arrived without showing off.”


    “Thank you.”


    “no.”


    Arsene answered briefly and did not say anything else. Calian let out a smallugh as he looked calmer than usual.


    Kirie said she didn’t show much in front of Chase, but she seemed to be paying attention. About being in the Secretia royal pce.


    “How is your duck doing?”


    Kalian, who was concerned about the pea’s mood but failed to pay attention to the pea, asked a light question. In the meantime, I couldn’t bring myself to say the name ‘Coco’.


    It’s intuitive, easy to remember, has a great meaning, and even sticks to the tongue, so Coco can’te up with a great name like Tuntuni, who just likes it without any effort. Anyway, I have the skills toe up with a name.


    “Yes, my prince. He is eating well and growing well to the point where we don’t recognize him day by day.”


    Duck’s mother, who realized that the question was meant to change the mood, smiled and answered. After that, Kalian, who exchanged a few light words, fell silent for a moment. Then, after organizing my thoughts once again, I spoke.


    “I asked you toe because I have a favor to ask you.”


    “Yes, my prince. Please tell me anything.”


    Kalian nodded and cooled the mint tea, which had already melted all the ice he had been holding in his hand for a while. And after taking a sip of it, he asked Arsene for a favor. Arsene, who heard the whole story, nodded willingly, and Calian expressed his gratitude.


    This was before I had a bright time with the scent of coffee and a cup of mint tea, and after devouring a lot of food, when the dark night fell, I was dragged to the sea as if I couldn’t resist the announcement of my teenage brother’s birthday.


    * * *


    I did not go to the small sea where I went with Chase.


    Without thinking about Chase’s feelings, taking ntz with me to the spire was enough, so I had no intention of going all the way to the sea with ntz.


    Moreover, the sea was unknown to Den, so he should not have set foot in that direction. You can visit Queen Deanna’s tomb near the seater.


    After briefly looking at nz, who was following without saying a word on Estina, Calian turned his head forward again. The knights of Secretia were seen guiding ntz, who was very moody and wanted to see the sea at night, and Calian, who was unable to stop ntz, to the sea owned by the Secretia royal family.


    There are familiar faces.


    No, there are just two people whose faces I don’t know. The remaining thirteen are all acquaintances.


    These were not the knights of the King’s Guard who remained inside the pce until the very end and went out of the pce with Bern. However, they were the ones who stood there before the SS came out of the castle gate.


    “… I’ll have to talk to Elven Grandmaster Narzanter.”


    Calian, who had tried to erase the names of the knights and everyst face from his mind, opened his mouth like this.


    “Since my older brother loves the sea so much, shouldn’t I, as a younger brother, take care to ensure that he can go to the sea he likes at any time?”


    dark night.


    The sound of the hooves of a horse walking at a steady pace without running.


    Calian’s quiet voice was heard by everyone, as that was the only noise that could be heard.


    “Why are you nning something useless, my brother?”


    Surprisingly, ntz said ‘don’t bark’ for quite some time. Thanks to this, Kalian’s lips rose longer. Because I sensed what kind of conversation nts wanted right now.


    Calian let out a very smallugh and opened his mouth.


    “Whether it will be useful or not is something that no one can know unless you are a Sispanian. So wouldn’t it be better to prepare in advance? I think so. Especially these days.”


    “I understand if you don’t give me a gift, so I hope you’ll shut up your loud mouth.”


    “It’s sad that you’re making so much noise. I’m your younger brother who came this long way with me and walked this difficult step with me. Can’t you treat me a little more kindly?”


    “If you keep saying things you don’t mean, I’ll go back.”


    “No. It’s a step I took anyway, so I have to keep going.”


    Calian smiled brightly and added in a slightly quieter voice.


    “…It’s your birthday.”


    The younger brother said that he would not be able to stay in the pce if he moved away from the crown prince, so he would be considerate so that he could spend his time exploring the sea, which he likes. And I don’t know why you are making useless ns when it is I who will rise to the throne.


    In this way, the ‘extremely ordinary conversation between the princes’ came to an end. And the knights stared straight ahead in silence, pretending not to have heard anything.


    How much longer did I walk like that?


    I could feel the strong smell of salt, and I began to hear the sound ofrge amounts of water soaking the ground, ever so slightly.


    “This is the ce. I’ll be on guard around the surroundings, so feel free to look around.”


    Even if youe to a ce for a reason, it is still a pleasure to visit.


    “Thank you.”


    Calian, who nodded and responded to the words of the person who led the knights, stopped Raven for a moment and looked around with various expressions on his face. And then I took control of Raven’s reins.


    Just like the day she first met Chase a long time ago, Raven tried to run to a ce where she could see the waves clearly.


    “Wait here, Raven.”


    Calian spoke in a whisper and got off Raven’s back.


    Soon, Calian took out a pocket watch from his pocket, checked the time, and walked around. I heard ntz follow me.


    Kalyan leaves no footprints in the sand.


    Two people walked towards the waves, and only one person’s footprints remained.


    “What were you thinking again?”


    Calian, standing at the end of the footsteps, opened his mouth, breathing in the scent of salt. ntz, looking at the translucent silent membrane that would not be visible from the outside, answered.


    “not really.”


    “I don’t think so.”


    Calian smiled brightly and added another word.


    “…… yo. this.”


    It’s not Pea’s birthday yet.


    Calian, who saw ntz’s eyebrows frowning again, opened his mouth.


    “First of all, you came when you asked me toe. Are you trying to deceive Den or me? I don’t know what your n is.”


    When you return to the pce, the conversation you had beforeing here will be ryed to Den, and Den will not believe it. You know that Calian, who uses magic, would not have a private conversation in the presence of knights.


    Do you really believe that the brothers are good friends?


    Or maybe they think they don’t get along well.


    In the end, it will be difficult to predict the steps taken to deceive and deceive.


    “Or maybe you just really wanted to see the sea.”


    “both.”


    Although there is a n, it is not true that I came to see the sea.


    “I’m curious. Because it’s different.”


    Instead of asking if he wasn’t going to take out that trick, Calian just nodded and answered.


    “It’s different. The color of the sea is different and the shape is different. The sea there was very dark, but it’s not here. When it’s really clear, there are days when it’s hard to tell whether it’s the sky or the sea.”


    “okay.”


    “You should havee during the day to see that. It’s a shame.”


    “……ter.”


    “Yes. I’ll show you again. Later, when you can eat codfortably.”


    Soon Calian bent down and sat down where he was standing. There were chairs and tables set up a bit away so we could sit separately, but we didn’t mind. Since Bern was not there, sitting, lying down and sleeping anywhere, I just paid no mind to the surprise of the knights who had seen the royal family sitting on the floor for the first time.


    “I haven’t prepared a birthday present. “I gave you so much that I thought you would try to repay me if I gave you a gift.”


    “I didn’t ask for it.”


    “Yes.”


    “I think I received it once.”


    Calian raised his head and looked up at nts.


    For a long time, he said nothing else. ntz, who was looking here and there, sat a little closer to the waves, a little further away from Calian. “I heard you


    nted Renieri.” “


    How did you know that?”


    “I just happened to get it.”


    “I didn’t give it to you as a birthday present. ”


    “Isn’t it the heart of the person who received it?”


    Besides, it was around the same time anyway.


    Calian sighed briefly as if he had heard these words together, then lifted his head and looked at the sky.


    “I don’t remember when it started… … At this age, I never looked at the sky. Well, it would be a lie if I said I’ve never seen it, but I’ve never consciously looked up at the sky.”


    “Why?”


    “Because I can’t see it.”


    Calian continued to speak as he looked at the silver sky that seemed to literally pour down.


    “The sky was like that. I couldn’t see it and just lived, but when Den died and like I said, after I was kicked out of the pce, I had nowhere else to go, so I went to a small beach other than here. “It was a ce where I was told to stayfortably as long as I wanted, so I n to spend some time there and then go back.”


    nz just nodded without saying a word.


    “Then the day was so hot that I couldn’t stay inside the cabin, so I went outside andy down and saw the sky. . The moon was bright and there were many stars. I was looking at it like that for a while and startedughing without knowing why. I was holding my stomach andughing like a crazy person.”


    “You’re crazy, right?”


    “Oh, that’s right. That’s true.”


    Calianughed for a moment and continued.


    “I thought there was no reason not to look up. After that, I continued to look at the sky like that. See the moon and the stars. I often look at the clouds and bet with Chase on whether it will rain or not. That’s how I’ve been.”


    Now that I think about it, Calian’s voice, which wasughing again at the decision that came to me without knowing that I should get all of that damn bet money when ites to money, rose above the waves. The voice, which was like the sound of rain and then the wind, flowed like the sound of waves. “


    He lowered his head. That day, my brother. After seeing that, I also stopped hesitating. I didn’t care what I thought and just nted it. Renieri.”


    “I heard you saved him without knowing.”


    “It’s true that I just wanted to save him without knowing why. “I mean, I didn’t hesitate.”


    Before ntz blocked Silike’s path. I saw him bowing his head when he heard that someone had died, so I told him that I had saved him from almost being killed by Silike’s dagger. That’s why I nted Renieri. I didn’t say what I was thinking or what I said to whom when I nted it. I also


    asked if you knew why I saved the life of that enemy, and I also asked if you would never tell me why I lived that kind of life. Whatever it was, I I also told you that I had nothing to be sorry about. I think I said a lot, but I couldn’t remember everything, so I just didn’t say it. “Well, anyway.


    ”


    Calian finished his sentence appropriately and took out a small pouch from his arms. He looked inside it a few times. After rummaging around, he pulled out something the size of two palms and handed it to ntz. It looked like it was his birthday, but it wasn’t a birthday present, so he just held out what he was nning to use. “What is it?” “Because I know how to use magic.” ”


    A


    gift


    . “I


    said there wasn’t one.” “It’s not a gift.”


    After saying onest time without forgetting the informalnguage that he won’t be able to say again until next summer, Kalyan said with a grin.


    “I know why you asked me toe and live here. Since your old house is here, your old brother is here, and your old mother is here, I think you thought it would be right toe back here. Since my mother knows me, I already had the same concerns. But I had that thought without realizing it. I think I should go back once I resolve the matter here. So, you don’t have to worry about me, but…”


    ntz looked at the crystal tablet in his hand without another word.


    It was sent by Eline for Allen. Along with the green tea filled with the scent of orchids that Lemain and Allen drank. What was in it.


    After having a cup of tea with my new son, I just gave the items I had sent to ntz to keep an eye on him wherever he goes. I


    asked n for a favor after returning from the spire, so the other one should probably be by now.


    – Meow!


    – Meow!


    Reric must have it.


    As soon as a faint light came out of the crystal te, before I could see what was on the other side, I heard a sound.


    Calian added another word to ntz, who was still looking down at it without another word.


    ” I’m giving it to you in case you think that only I have a ce to return to. Although I have a lot of things, my brothercks nothing more than me, so don’t be jealous.”


    “… Bark.”


    “I gave you a gift, but didn’t you react too much?”


    “I said it wasn’t a gift.”


    “Ah. That’s right.”


    After saying this, Kalian stood up and knocked the sand off his clothes.


    “I don’t think I’ll forget your face, but I don’t want you to forget it. Please just say hello for a moment. “I…”


    Calian nced into the distance for a moment and then smiled. A


    satisfied growl, like that of a predator that has found a good prey, created a red light. Another color that seemed at first nce simr to the one gathered at the tip of his finger from afar. Calian’s eyes narrowed as he looked at other lights.


    “I’m going to hit you in the back, which my smart brother prepared for me.”


    Calian hid himself in the shadows under the ck sky with the ck sea in front of him.


    – Ugh!


    An afterimage of red light appeared in the air. It gave off a long light and then dispersed.
