Chapter 241

Quiet night.

Unexpected guests visited Wilhelm’s pavilion and Duke Siegfried’s residence.

Arsene, who was in Wilhelm’s pavilion, looked quite surprised because he had to face Lemain, who would never be with Planz. Still, I wasn’t as nervous anymore as I was the day I first saw Lemain, so I didn’t panic and chose polite words to give to Lemain.

“I’m sorry, Your Highness. This is a distraction to the healer.”

Lemain, who listened closely to the direct words of the wizard, who had abilities inversely proportional to his salary and was literally loved by Calian for fearful favor, examined Plants with his eyes for a moment and then returned to Arpia Palace.

And Demirea was very thoughtful due to the story she heard from the healer who made even Lemaine turn away. Thanks to this, while I was replacing the meal I had missed due to swinging my sword non-stop until late at night with black tea and pancakes, I was able to greet a customer.

“I came to you because I have something urgent to tell you about the prince.”

Calian’s only knight.

After hearing what he said, Demirea clenched her fists.

– Find out what the Duke wants first.

I felt like the silent words Hina said were lingering in my ears.

* * *

Evan was by no means young.

However, there has been no successor yet.

‘It may seem crazy, but Evan could do it. Or maybe they already have a successor but are hiding it completely.’

As I thought about this, something curious occurred to me.

‘For whatever reason, his swordsmanship is so amazing.’

Why is the true swordsmanship used by the head of Brisen, one of the two great knight families of Kairis, not known? To what extent is this swordsmanship so great that you are wary of creating a successor or even making it public?

I had that kind of curiosity.

And then I realized.

Even in the fierce battle, I felt a momentary imbalance because I was keeping all of Evan’s movements in my head without looking at them.

“You have a good eye for attention.”

“Because I’m still young.”

As I developed that subtle doubt, I found an answer.

“I thought you liked showing off, but you managed to hide it.”

“It is a country with no special wars or civil wars, so would the heads of the households have ever used their swords outside? Besides, the elephants might change their minds at any time, so we can’t show them everything we have and buy them.”

“You’re showing it to me. My fiance is very scary.”

“Don’t worry. Just like the others who saw my sword, you won’t be able to get out of here.”

“Oh yeah.”

Calian nodded his head roughly in response, then opened his mouth again.

“But Marquis. The thing that cut it in half was a sword, so why are you spitting out the words in half?”

Calian, who was tapping the floor with the tip of his sword a couple of times, finished speaking with a sweet smile.

“You look spoiled.”

The sarcasm that was still there made me feel angry.

Two swords engulfed in blue aura rush forward.

Calian, with a smile full of anticipation, lunged at the swords coming from both sides.

– Kaga River!

Oh my, boiled peas have opened up a path of hardship.

I can’t even handle one sword properly, but now I have two, so what should I do?

– Kaang! Kang!

When you wake up now, you really need to eat a lot of meat.

– Kaang!

– Kang! Kagang!

Learn swordsmanship again and

the cat that barks a lot

– Kaaaang!

… If you want to raise it properly!

– Kagaga River!

* * *

Time continued to pass.

The warm light that constantly flowed from Hina’s hand seeped into Plantz’s heart. Unlike magic, you could simply draw mana from nature and convert it into healing power, so there was no shortage of mana.

That’s the only thing that can be considered fortunate.

Even if there is no shortage of mana, aren’t the mental power and energy also infinite?

‘It’s a big deal. ‘People haven’t disappeared yet.’

Hina’s fingertips, placed instead of cat fur on Plantz’s pure white shirt, eventually began to tremble little by little. Arsene, who was watching this, sighed.

“… I’m telling you to call the royal healer.”

– No.

Hina’s firm voice, which was the first time Arsene had heard it, rang out immediately.

“If it’s because of your magic training, don’t worry. Unlike our prince, you haven’t created a circle yet, so there won’t be any problems even if you receive divine power.”

– That’s not the reason. Please don’t load it.

Although Hina’s intention was to refuse, she was so tired that she couldn’t even say the reason properly.

“It will be very different from the treatment I’ve had before. Before, I was able to catch my breath for a while while making sure the wound was healing, but today isn’t different. You can’t last long in that condition. I think you’re already… …”

– I don’t want to leave it in someone else’s hands. I can’t believe it.

Arsene paused and pursed his lips.

Even though they must have developed a close relationship with the royal healer while receiving training, they said they did not trust him like this. Hina is no one else.

“… Well, who can you trust? Even Kaera has been tainted by Briesen.”

In the end, Arsene nodded as if he had no choice. However, when I opened my mouth to say that if I couldn’t do it, then I would really call a healer.

– Sweet.

The closed treatment room door opened.

Where the Prince of Kairis is.

A place where the Vulcan vice-corps commander and healer are nearby.

A person who came to such a place, but the other wizards guarding the door could not hastily stop him. A person who could open a door without knocking, something he had never done with his own hands, entered the room.

Arsene slowly got up after seeing the unexpected second guest.

‘Why here…?’

For the first time, I fully encountered the deep blue eyes filled with the refreshing energy of dawn, and I had no idea what was inside them.

He didn’t call Hina rude as she didn’t stand up, just lowered her head and then went back to focusing on treatment. I couldn’t tell if he knew he couldn’t speak or not, but he didn’t show much of a reaction to me not being polite by opening my mouth. I didn’t even blame Arsene, who didn’t even lower his head at all.

Rather than saying it was because he was generous, it was because he didn’t pay any attention to their reactions.

“You don’t get out of the way.”

The person who had been looking at Arsene for a while turned his gaze to look down at Planz and opened his mouth like this.

“Do I need your permission to walk?”

Arsene nodded and answered as if he had nothing to hide.

“Yes, it is.”

“Even though the person behind you is my brother.”

“That’s because Prince Planz, who is behind me, is Prince Randel’s younger brother.”

“Are you worried that I might harm you?”

“… I’m not worried.”

After all, I would be worried about my prince, who is his older brother and vice-captain.

“That’s because I think we need to be on guard.”

Even though he was saying that he was suspicious of the prince, Randel calmly answered without showing any change in his expression.

“Do it some other day than today. I am not here to harm you.”

Randel’s calm eyes stared at Arsene.

Arsene, who faced that heavy gaze for a long time, eventually nodded and took a step back.

“…… All right.”

After using an unprecedented magic on Plantz, he also took Randel into his hands, so he thought that if he met Calian, something would definitely be broken.

Or maybe there’s a hole somewhere.

* * *

Calian turned his waist to the right and extended his sword upward.

– Kaang!

– Shhh!

The sword falling over his head was blocked, and the sword aimed at his left side split the air.

What was a little surprising was that although he held a sword in each hand, the force applied did not become lighter.

Thanks to this, Calian, who felt like he was fighting two Evanes, shook off the sword he had blocked with an expression as if he had just imagined something terrible.

– Whirr!

Evan, who saw Calian lightly floating, held his two swords in different directions. In that state, he quickly rotated his body and fired a sword strike towards the place where Calian should land.

– Kagaga River!

The sound of sword blades colliding rang out several times.

Immediately after blocking the first sword attack, Calian drew his sword back slightly to block the attack of the second sword. After receiving both swords, he struck them down with all his might. Then he turned around and came up behind Evan.

After defending and moving for a short period of time, Calian thrust out his sword.

– Hiss!

Evan bent down before the sound of tearing wind was heard. He quickly stood up and followed Calian’s figure, but this time, Calian was standing in a different direction as his attack was blocked.

more.

– Kang Kaga River!

more.

Show me more.

Tell me everything.

– Kaang! Kaga River!

– Kagan kang!

How to react when aiming from behind, how to move and move your shoulders, waist, and legs, how to block an attack coming from above or below, what kind of attack you make when holding two swords in opposite directions, and how the two swords complement each other when fighting.

I watched the path of the sword and avoided it with more concentration than I had ever faced anyone else before. It was constantly moving, aiming for Evan’s swordsmanship, not Evan’s. stole it

– Kang! Kaaaaang!

The battle continued again.

As I gradually got used to Evan’s movements, Calian stopped for a moment and took a breath.

I quickly organized what I had seen and recorded so far and put it into my head.

‘I guess this is enough.’

I might not be able to learn as thoroughly as I could from Evan himself, but it didn’t matter.

Moreover, the limit may have been reached.

Whether it’s peas or hina.

So that’s it for now.

Calian, who decided that he could make up for what he lacked with his sword skills, distanced himself from Evan for a moment and then took a deep breath. And rushed in.

The composure disappeared from Evan’s face.

– Kaaaang! Kagang!

Crossing the two swords, he attacked Evan’s falling attack and sent the two swords coming in succession, rotating at a time lag.

He twisted the sword in his hand and stretched it out, digging into the empty space between the two swords.

Evan saw this and put the handles of the two swords together to block the blade aimed at the neck.

Before I knew it, the dark red sword had escaped and was rushing towards my heart. Evan dodged by turning his waist as if lifting one shoulder and then thrust out the sword on the other side.

Kalyan was not there.

– Creepy!

A deeper life.

The anger and murderous intent that was clearly revealed was directed at Evan.

I see two bright red eyes.

Funny enough, Evan thought of the black cat brooch at this moment.

Now I know why that guy came here alone, leaving that great magic teacher behind. Now I know why I have never used magic and only dealt with swords.

‘If I were to die in this place by that guy, it wouldn’t be my life that would be taken away…’ This

is Briesen.

It is Brisen’s sword.

“You bastard until now…!”

– Kaaaaang!

Calian did not answer. I didn’t even laugh at Evan.

Calian, who had been targeting Evan’s sword skills with his sword that he had been tirelessly extending, was now aiming for Evan’s life.

Even the afterimage of Calian’s sword was no longer visible. The footsteps that seemed to be heard little by little were completely hidden. Evan felt Calian’s energy and blocked it with a movement that was almost instinctive.

– Kagang kagang kang!

The sword heading towards his neck was beyond the speed at which Evan could block it. Evan, sensing the end, put strength into the hand holding the sword. I gave up defense, thinking that even if I died, I should not leave Calian in peace. Calian’s sword came like a thunderbolt.

But at that moment.

– Jabak.

unexpected.

There is no trace of vigilance.

“Grandpa…”

A young voice, as if he had just woken up from sleep.

– Stand tall!

It held a dark red sword.

Calian’s eyes wavered as he reflexively looked at the owner of the voice that came from behind Evan.

One room at the end of the hallway.

In front of him stood a child with green eyes and hair much darker than Planz’s.

Even though I know it isn’t.

Knowing that I am a child who doesn’t care.

Succession. Yes, it’s that kid.

You were trying to make that child your successor. Must be Lennon or Gray’s child. In order to teach the family’s swordsmanship without being threatened by the two sons, it would have been better to appoint their children as successors. So, I guess they secretly hid it in the mansion and tried to teach it.

I was able to think of all these thoughts at once.

‘older brother?’

I made a ridiculous mistake.

Evan’s sword was cutting through the wind.
