Chapter 52. Be patient, brother (3)


    Pendelia.


    Now I know what that name is.


    “That one over there. It’s a medicine made from Pendelia.”


    There was arge nt in the direction Arsene pointed. It has wide, slightly split leaves attached to a green stem with brown spots. It was something I had seen before.


    I remembered someone saying that they didn’t like the fruit, which was green on the outside and pink on the inside.


    “I got it from the healer Sir Bern to use it after sparring with the prince. Since I can’t call a healer, let alone a healer, it would be better to use some medicine. This may be my first time seeing Pendelia…” “I know


    . “What is it?”


    “How does Prince nz know such a thing?”


    He said that he had been drinking and rolled down a cliff, but when he opened his eyes, he felt like everything was stuck to his body. ntz, who remembered without forgetting a single word what Calian had told him in the city of elves, answered quietly.


    “My brother told me that he once fell off a cliff when he had too much to drink.”


    “…… ah.”


    Unfortunately, Arsene did not understand the true meaning of nz’s words.


    Would the treatment of royal family be different just because they were Secretariat? Nevertheless, one can roughly guess what would have happened if raw, unprocessed grass had been applied to the prince’s body.


    “Ah… Anyway, use Prince nz.”


    “Rather than me.”


    ntz frowned at Estina’s movements as she walked up the hill, which was not very steep, and stopped talking. This is because the pain came. Estina was a horse that did not have rough steps, but she was not as careful as Raven, who was careful not to shake her master’s body even when walking on this path.


    Before I knew it, the bleeding at the wound had stopped and it was healing little by little. However, it was difficult to get used to the sensation felt every time the open wound moved.


    nz took a moment to catch his breath, control the sharp feeling, and then spoke.


    “I think my brother needs it.”


    “Fendelia is a slightly toxic herb. In general, it doesn’t matter, but if the prince uses it now, it’s not good.”


    ntz, who was looking at the medicine bottle handed to him by Arsene with his long arm outstretched, turned his head. I saw a ck-haired crazy guy lying on top of Raven, unconscious.


    Arsene was breathing better than when he first ced Calian on Raven’s saddle, and his purple lips were gradually returning to their original state. Isn’t this the blessing of a Sispanian who ignores a hangover and heals an injury even if it doesn’t relieve one’s excessive greed?


    I remembered the image of my younger brother leaning on Raven a little while ago.


    There is one sword cut on the arm and one on the waist.


    That alone makes ntz so nervous, so how can he stand there without frowning at all?


    Is it terrible? Am I ignorant? Or is it familiar?


    I can’t figure it out.


    ntz let out a short sigh and briefly squeezed and unclenched his bloodless hand, exposed under the moonlight. And then he opened his mouth in a lower voice.


    “Wizard.”


    “yes.”


    “How many wizards can survive when they face them?”


    “Are you talking about Xeon? Siren Siren will probably survive without difficulty, but for the rest, including me, it will depend on the situation. You know that I almost died too.”


    strong.


    I couldn’t forget the look thest dead warrior of Zeon gave me. I stepped forward without knowing, and Kalian blocked me, so I couldn’t aim my sword, but if I had, would I have survived?


    well.


    Probably would never have survived.


    nz, who had been thinking about this for a while, extended his uninjured arm to Arsene.


    “Give it to me.”


    “What are you asking for?”


    “Revised version.”


    “…How did you know I had it?”


    Arsene, who was saying this and taking out the expensive crystal tablet, reminded ntz that he did not have the wizard’s bag, and put it back and said,


    “I’ll give it to you when I get back.”


    “Don’t use it.”


    “Why are you asking me to return arge crystal board that you don’t even have a ce for? Are you saying you’re afraid I’ll use it as I please?”


    ntz responded to Arsene, who was looking at him with eyes that said he was not wearing out.


    “You already wrote it.”


    Arsene’s mouth closed quietly.


    Arsene, who was looking at Calian for a moment, or more precisely at Calian’s gaze, asked in a whisper.


    “How did you know I wrote a revised version?”


    “I hope you didn’t call Marquis Manasil.”


    It’s really difficult to talk to nz.


    When I asked him how he knew, he said something strange again.


    I had a hard time understanding that he was asking this because he already knew that Arsene had contacted Reric with the crystal version and talked to n beforeing to help the princes.


    “I’m so scared that I can’t even drink water in front of Prince nz. I think he’ll find out what I ate three days ago based on the water I drink.”


    Even in the midst of his pain, nz did not miss Arsene calling him ‘Prince nz’ again. Isn’t there only one reason for Arsene to talk like that in front of nz?


    Through Allen, he had just recently stepped down from his position as deputymander.


    “Don’t you know what’s even more surprising than not knowing?”


    “I just dropped my rank. If you’re a soldier, you won’t be able to catch anyone here.”


    Unlike Euria, who caught people without looking at the situation, Arsene was a wizard who caught people without looking at the situation. So, before joining the fight, I called n over for a moment and spoke to him. ‘Our Coco is using the carriage made by Sispanian and maintained by the corpsmander veryfortably.’


    After hearing that, n carefully relieved Arsene of his position on the spot, and Arsene calmly returned to being just a blue-haired crazy wizard whose only affiliation was Vulcan.


    “It seems like Marquis Manasil noticed that something was going on, but he said he wouldn’te here. He said he would be very angry if he did, so I told him to wait since it’s still okay.”


    “okay.”


    After answering briefly, nz closed his mouth again. As Estina entered the downhill slope, it was partly because she moved her body once more and partly because she was lost in thought.


    Arsene, who was staring at ntz, turned his gaze to Sinastar.


    I saw something a little while ago that I had not seen before because it had been in the sheath the entire time. I looked at the words written on the blue-silver sword in Calian’s hand.


    When I think of that, my heart besplicated.


    I wonder what happened in the past to write so carefully the letters to be engraved on the sword of that short-tempered prince.


    “It doesn’t matter, right?”


    Suddenly, ntz said this. Before I knew it, the person turned his head and his light green eyes were staring intently at Arsene.


    “No matter who wrote it. No matter what happened. Now.”


    “…Did you know it was my handwriting?”


    “Roughly.”


    After literally answering roughly, ntz closed his eyes.


    It hurt and it was annoying to exin.


    A silent sigh escaped Arsene’s mouth as he looked at nz for a moment.


    “I thought about it because I didn’t think he would have given that name to just anyone and engraved it. I guess there was no one who could have been by his side. Since the blue-haired crazy wizard was with him until the end, I thought that if there was someone, it would have been the blue-haired crazy wizard. ”


    But ntz, who seemed not to answer, continued:


    I didn’t recognize Arsene’s handwriting, but I thought that Arsene, who was with nz in the past until the end, when there was no one next to him unlike now, would have asked him to do something like that. It was a vague prediction, but I was convinced thanks to Arsene’s reaction when he looked at Sinasta today.


    “I also think about how barren I must have lived to have someone like this by my side.”


    Arsene, who almost looked at nz with sad eyes for a moment, quickly came to his senses.


    nz looked down at the sword for a moment, which made him think deeply about throwing it away thanks to finding out who wrote the letter, even though he knew the meaning well, and frowned slightly again due to the pain from the cut. I didn’t even see Arsene, who had been robbed of what he wanted to say, look like he was chewing on coco shit.


    Arsene thought that if he said, ‘Would I have wanted to be next to someone like you?’, it would be considered insulting to the royal family and he could be cut down in Balkan, but Arsene decided to endure it and pass it on, thinking that making a statue and cutting it down would not be the life of a wizard. turned.


    At that reaction, ntzughed and Arseneughed.


    “Are youughing?”


    “It’sing out. Why?”


    “Even though the crazy blue-haired wizard who followed me around is no longer following me.”


    “It doesn’t matter. That too.”


    I know what Arsene means.


    In the past, at least Arsene was by his side, but now there is no one to stand next to him, so he asks if he is okay. As the knight of Secretia said so and Calian also worried about it.


    “Not really. Lucy and Anne are there. Why?”


    Maybe I wanted someone in particr to be by my side. I gave this answer because I had never once considered it regrettable.


    It’s enough to just have one servant following along, whining about every incident, and Vulcaning up with newer thoughts as if he’s updating himself every day. A ck cat that barks every day and tries to bite you when it gets tired is too much for you, so what can you do with a crazy blue-haired wizard next to you? My head just hurts.


    After giving an honest answer, ntz looked ahead.


    A small pce with a huge garden began toe into view in the distance.


    * * *


    Birds are faster than horses.


    A lot had happened, but it didn’t take a long time, so it was still the middle of the night. Nevertheless, when we arrived at Louise’s vi, about ten people quietly came out and greeted the three of us. It seems that Chase was contacted before Calian’s group arrived.


    The knights ced Calian on a stretcher and carried him to the bedroom. As Arsene watched with his eyes wide open, both Calian and ntz received appropriate treatment.


    The reason it is called appropriate treatment is because the people here heard that Chase was a servant of someone they could trust, but they did not fully believe it, so they did not take or apply the medicine they gave him. ntz only used the medicine Arsene brought him, and Calian did not allow him to do even that until the detoxification wasplete.


    – Is there anything else you need, Prince nz?


    – …… banana.


    – You mean bananas?


    – many.


    After that, I didn’t know when Kalian would wake up, so I had him pile some bananas next to the bed and went to the window a little away from the bed Kalian was lying on. Until Calian woke up or the pce sent more of Calian’s people, Arsene had to watch the guard alone, so it was difficult for him to sitfortably in his own room.


    I was hurt, but she was hurt even more, so I couldn’t rest properly, but I decided not toin too much since I brought it on myself anyway.


    – Saaaa…….


    A truly quiet ce with a view of the sea in the distance.


    The room on the highest floor had one entire wall made of ss. As I stood in front of it and looked out the window for a while, I heard the sound of tree branches rustling in the wind. As I was quietly listening to the sound, something caught my eye in the darkness.


    – sparkle.


    blue light.


    A blue light was hovering in arge garden.


    It couldn’t have been a wizard’s light, but I didn’t know what it was, so I looked at it for a while, and the blue light that was shining on one side soon began to spread out little by little. Before long, the entire garden began to glow green.


    It didn’t take long to find out what it was. The blue cluster of lights spread out like light seeds scattered in the wind and began to rise into the sky.


    In this ce where only flowers were nted tomemorate someone in arge garden, the second blooming flower was turning blue and emerging under the moonlight.


    “This is Sinasta.”


    okay.


    It was Sinastar.


    ntz turned his head.


    The guy who couldn’t stand the bird sat up and was looking out the window.


    “why.”


    “I just woke up.”


    A cracked voice came out.


    ntz just nodded because he didn’t know that he was someone who could only sleep properly when n or Kyrie were by his side or when he was lying down in his own room in Chermil.


    “Blood.”


    “It has stopped. Feeling ising back to my back.”


    “okay.”


    The blessing of Sispanian, who moved steadily despite the use of force, has been deciphered. I started treating my wounds.


    By the way, looking at the pain in his back, Calian looked around for a moment,ughing as he thought he must have been hit in the back at that time. Then he stopped his head and held his breath for a moment.


    “Did Brother Chase tell you about this ce?”


    “I heard it’s Concubine Louise’s vi. I don’t know where it is.”


    Calian lifted his palms and covered his face.


    Augh escaped out.


    “You can’t know.”


    Even if it wasn’t the light of Sinastar, which was bluer than the stars, it was still enough to see inside the room.


    ck sheets without a pattern, dark gray curtains, dark brown furniture with no shine. A deste room without a single picture frame or vase. The ce I visited asionally was decorated just as I remembered.


    I thought it was gone, but it seems not.


    “… It’s my room.”


    Queen Deanna’s vi.


    And it was Bern’s room that had been prepared there.


    Calianughed for quite a long time as he faced the traces of Bern, who had not lived through this time.


    Chase must have thought a lot about whether or not to give this room to Calian. He must have been worried that he got hurt and that he might be depressed while looking at this ce. Nevertheless, Iughed because I thought I knew why they bothered to tell me about this vi and why Kalyan was in this room.


    “I guess the meaning of my name isn’tpletely wrong.”


    ntz looked at Calian nkly.


    “If I ask, will you tell me now?”


    Calian tried to shrug his shoulders as was his habit, but stopped because his back was throbbing, and then opened his mouth again.


    “No. I’m not going to tell you the meaning of your name, so why would I tell you my old name?”


    “…… okay.”


    Calian chuckled at the momentary expression of irritation on his face and looked out the window.


    “Anyway, it’s fun.”


    “what.”


    “Lord Hertz said that. You’ve fought enough, so now you should rest. Kirie told me not to stop, but I don’t know how the two have different personalities and what they say.”


    ntz did not answer. Instead, a small, cracked, blood-filled tone followed.


    “I was so happy when Sir Hertz came to visit me a little while ago. As I was looking at Sir Hertz, a thought urred to me. In the end, I thought I might have been waiting for Sir Hertz toest time as well. Actually, I was both happy and sad when he told me not to stop. . When he told me to rest, I felt both sad and happy.”


    Now, I’m saying this as if I’mining to nts, but honestly, it was so hard and overwhelming.


    “That’s also interesting. In the end, I ended up waiting for Lord Hertz twice on this earth. But the reasons were so different.”


    “…… okay.”


    Calian’s voice gradually subsided.


    “That doesn’t mean I liked it.”


    “know.”


    “So you won’t experience the same thing twice.”


    “know.”


    “Don’t worry and rest. Because of you, there won’t be a war this time. I won’t let that happen.”


    “…Speak informally.”


    “I got hurt like this because of my brother, but you don’t even notice that?”


    nz frowned without answering.


    Calian, who got a few informal words for the price of one wound,ughed softly once again.


    A wave of blue light shimmered, illuminating Calian’s face and rising into the sky. Caliany down again on the bed filled with the familiar scent and soon fell asleep. Even though neither Kirie nor Allen were there, he fell into a deep sleep.


    Just a few hourster.


    – All of Secretia’s soldiers who went to Bridget Forest died.


    Until ntz, who received this call from Chase, woke up his sleeping brother.
