Chapter 246

that you shouldn’t leave the palace.

A situation where you don’t know whether or not Plants will be able to stand up properly. We don’t know why Planz collapsed. Even if we heard about the poison bag late, the information is limited. I know that it was the wisest decision I could have made in such a situation.

But then Plantz opened his eyes and things changed.

“What is this?”

Lennon, holding a poison bag in his hand, asked Plantz, who was standing in front of him.

“Is this something you’ve never seen before?”

“Yes. I don’t know what it is.”

Plantz nodded slightly and opened his mouth.

“Still not thinking.”

“What… do you mean?”

Lennon still had an expression that he didn’t understand at all.

He was a guy who didn’t need to feel frustrated when it came to communication. Therefore, Plantz spoke at length with a very kind heart.

“Anyway, isn’t Brissen the evidence? I wonder how he handles things and hides them, and where he can find evidence. I don’t know why he’s turning away in front of the person who knows it best.”

The person who knows most about Brisen.

Isn’t that exactly Planz?

“Prince Planz. I’m sad.”

Lennon, unable to figure out what it meant that Planz came wearing a Balkan uniform or what he was thinking as a Balkan deputy commander rather than a prince, made an awkward laugh.

‘No matter how hard he tries, he doesn’t have the talent to overcome the throne without us.’

Of course, Lennon still has this illusion.

I definitely expected him to say something like that, but he still started saying obvious things that I didn’t want him to say.

“No matter how much the queen suffered such a thing, isn’t Brissen the prince’s maternal ancestor and the same bloodline? So” “

Ah.”

Plantz covered his mouth in a low voice. Then he closed his eyes for a while and then slowly lifted his eyelids.

A bright smile appeared because I heard something I didn’t want to hear.

“That’s a bit…”

Planz’s hand pointed towards the sword.

Demirea, who felt a moment of death while standing nearby, quickly turned her head towards Plants.

Evan, who has already died, was clearly involved in this matter, but it has not yet been precisely confirmed whether Lennon’s guilt can also be revealed. If we had hastily killed Lennon on this spot, we could have been in trouble. That’s why I tried to stop him.

“… That’s annoying.”

But it didn’t stop Planz’s hand.

Planz held the ink-colored sword tightly in his hand.

After that.

– …… Wow!

He lifted the sword in its sheath and struck Lennon in the chin.

Lennon’s chin, still kneeling, made a crunching sound. Planz used all his strength to the point where his incredibly thin body floated slightly, then fell and rolled around.

Both together and together.

Planz, who had reviewed the ‘not tolerating’ lesson he had learned from Calian and erased the light green round thing from the minds of five specific knights here, nodded towards those five knights.

It meant cleaning up ‘my veins’ that frothed at the mouth and fainted.

The knights, who had already become accustomed to Plantz’s reticence, quickly approached and dragged Lennon away.

“Are you okay?”

Demirea, who was nearby, asked.

Demirea didn’t seem to care who or what Plantz had just swung at. With a peaceful face, he was just looking at Lennon’s soldiers who had been captured one by one by the Balkan knights, whose number had already increased, and at Lennon, who was sprawled out next to them.

“what.”

A pale complexion, a heartache that may have occurred just recently, or this unexpected situation. I didn’t know which of those questions it was about, so I answered like this.

“You came and heard things you didn’t need to hear.”

“I didn’t come here out of necessity, but I came to take responsibility, so it doesn’t matter. I expected what you said. I’m used to it.”

Kalian taught me well.

What it means to be responsible.

He probably didn’t know that he would interpret it this way, but in any case, Planz learned it well.

“Are you saying that you will take responsibility on behalf of Prince Calian?”

“Because my brother doesn’t have to take responsibility for this. And wouldn’t it be better for me to take responsibility for it rather than for you or Count Manasil?”

“I don’t know if Prince Calian thinks so too, but it’s not wrong.”

Evan handed Plantz a poison bag.

Even if they knew about it, Lemain and Allen are in a position to step forward and say they will be punished only after conducting an official investigation, identifying the source of the poison bag, and finding the people involved. These are people who have no choice but to do so.

It wasn’t Planz.

A person who can burn down a house as he pleases or join the military out of curiosity. It’s good if there’s no problem, and if there is a problem, Lemain or Allen can take responsibility. That was Plantz’s understanding of the use of ‘responsibility’ in Kalian’s teachings.

As a result of such learning, the Marquis de Briesen was burning brightly. As a bonus, Lennon was also arrested. I even hit him once.

Demirea asked, looking back at the mansion, which was still burning very well.

“Did you bring magic bullets? You probably didn’t bring any magic bullets from Balkan, but the fire started well.”

“No. I didn’t have enough pay to reduce it, so I brought in a crazy wizard who can’t do anything openly.”

Plantz chuckled as he thought of someone who was carefully burning down his original, drab mansion so that he could build a new house that would suit Plantz’s tastes and live in it, so that the house he would have to live in once he left the palace would not be bloody.

‘I am not helping the vice commander, who is the prince’s older brother, but I am helping the prince who is trying to help the vice commander, the prince’s older brother.’

The wizard said that he would bring an additional 35 knights to replace Plantz, who ran ahead with only fifteen people who could move quickly, and hummed something strange that even Plantz could not understand at once. That’s because I thought of that really crazy wizard.

“Ah yes.”

It was obvious who was coming, but Demirea, who understood well that he was asking me to pretend not to know, nodded appropriately. Then, as he looked at the Ice Wizard’s flames, which were clearly not going to go out until everything was completely burned, he opened his mouth as if something suddenly occurred to him.

“I have one thing to tell you.”

Plantz turned his head towards Demirea without answering. Demirea, who understood what he meant to say, continued.

“I found Viscount Lennon Brissen’s daughter at the Marquis’s residence.”

“… Is this the child the Marquis raised as his successor?”

“Yes. That is my guess. I think it is the child who was raised in the Marquis’s residence in exchange for the Briesen Chamber of Commerce and the viscountship.”

The position of Marquess of Briesen that Lennon coveted.

However, after giving it to Gray for a while, Plantz tried to take it back. So Plantz came to find the place himself so as not to hand it over to Lennon.

“I didn’t know there was already a child chosen as the heir.”

“I thought it was surprising too. However, since he was still a child, I did not tell the Viscount, but moved him to Siegfried’s mansion for now. I did not know what would happen if he and the Viscount were executed if it became known, so I hid it of my own accord. “Because I’m weak.”

“You’re so good at telling me things like that, Duke.”

“You’re not the prince now, you’re the vice commander of the Vulcan corps, aren’t you? I think you can just ignore it and pretend it doesn’t matter.”

After briefly looking at Plantz’s clothes, Plantz laughed at the reply as if it was nothing, and nodded as if telling him to continue speaking.

“I will keep it a secret elsewhere and protect it well so that it does not involve Brissen, so you do not need to worry. However, I thought it would be better for you to know the contents in advance rather than suddenly hearing it from Viscount Brissen or the Margrave. I’m giving it to you.”

Planz didn’t answer for a while.

After that, he slightly raised one corner of his mouth.

“I’ll take note.”

And I just answered like this.

* * *

My second son suddenly collapsed.

The third son left home.

The third son returned injured.

The second son went out instead.

There were clearly three sons, but as a result, they faced a situation where there were only two of them in the palace. LeMaine let out a long sigh full of worry and concern as he looked at Calian lying down in the treatment room of Wilhelm Pavilion.

“It’s okay, you don’t have to worry.”

“…… okay.”

As soon as Calian arrived at the palace, he came to his senses again.

Rather than because his condition improved while he was here, it may be for a slightly different reason. It wasn’t hard to guess that it was either because of the pain or because there were a lot of things to worry about.

Lemaine, who came to visit Calian before Hina, who was resting, arrived, came out without even being able to say a single proper word.

Alan, who was standing outside without looking at Calian, quietly opened his mouth to Lemain, who had just come out.

“I will meet you briefly, so would you please wait?”

“I understand.”

Alan, who had made the king wait, bowed his head and entered where Calian was.

I thought I should get angry, I thought I should scold him.

I was trying to tell him why he insisted on going with me. I asked that sloppy guy what he had done to get his boat stuck, and he refused to tell me that he would go find it, so he tried to beat me up, asking me what kind of nonsense he was talking about.

“Master.”

And I couldn’t say anything.

It wasn’t because I was welcoming or because I was smiling pretty, I just couldn’t say anything.

“I’ve been there.”

As he said this, I couldn’t think of an answer that even the great Alan Manasil could give, so I just sat next to him and patted his head a few times.

“Shall I put you to sleep?”

The only wizard in this palace worthy of putting the Sword Master to sleep is Alan. After a while, that was all I asked.

Calian shook his head.

It was because I couldn’t sleep at all after seeing that white little bird that made the sound of a pea.

“Lord Hertz, is there anything you can do?”

“I asked you to escort the 2nd prince, and it looks like he will escort you all the way to meet Serenti. I went out with him, but he didn’t come back.”

“…… I thought so. My brother was wearing a Vulcan uniform. They will probably arrest Lennon Brissen. If Lord Hertz goes, he will burn down everything in the Marquis’ mansion. So Lennon Brissen’s mansion We need to immediately search and find all the evidence. We need to deliver it as quickly as possible so that Gray Briesen can come to the capital immediately. Brother Randel or the capital…” Alan, who had listened up to that point, nodded and said

, I stopped talking.

“Your Majesty has already sent someone to the Margrave of Briesen. He said that he will proceed with the commissioning of the new Margrave immediately and that he will properly check whether the nobles and their soldiers are moving, so leave that to your Majesty. I will order an immediate search of Viscount Briesen’s residence. “I have already instructed you to thoroughly check the status of the Marquis, and I will check in Balkan to see if there is anything wrong with Prince Randel or the capital. Don’t worry, I will take care of checking to see if there are people with ulterior motives in the palace and weeding them out.”

“Yes. And Siegfried will soon send a group of knights. Master, please take care of me if I cannot wake up.”

“That’s right.”

“And even if I sleep for a long time, please wake me up at least once a day. The situation…”

Calian, who had opened his mouth steadfastly, paused.

Then he looked at Alan, who was looking at him blankly, and smiled.

“No, just let him sleep and take care of the rest. Instead, could you tell me something?”

“What can I tell you?”

Alan nodded slowly in response to the words spoken after that. Then, he brushed Calian’s hair once more as if he was growing up now.

“Are you so worried about others?”

He was talking about opening his eyes and trying to finish everything one by one. Calian nodded with a more relaxed face. “It’s become a

habit to always do things alone. I’m trying to fix it.”

“… That’s right. It will get better little by little.”

Allen stroked Calian a few times again.

“It didn’t hurt.”

He smiled softly and said the most difficult words.

Calian, who had been looking at Allen for a while, smiled back. And after a while, he said again. He answered slowly.

“It hurts a little.”

Alan patted his son’s shoulder a few times after returning from a hard time.

Calian’s eyes slowly closed.

A soft spell came out of Alan’s mouth.

[Abtondant]

_ . In the end, you will just nod your head when asked and stand on the Renicita leaf in the square.

As soon as you open your eyes, Planz, who did a great job, has safely returned to the palace. I don’t know what will happen tomorrow morning, but for now. Arsene came back safely.

Only after arriving at the palace did Arsene check Calian’s condition and his face changed to the exact same color as his eyes. Jan and Kyrie, who already had the same color face, tried to reassure Arsene and the car brought by Relic, who had barely lost that color, We shared a drink and calmed ourselves down.

After confirming from Hina that the number of princes in the palace had become three again and that the number would not be reduced to two overnight, Lemain also came to his senses for the time being. And he took care of what the two princes had done. I started to work hard. Of course, the Archmage as well.

“This time.”

Hina had to treat Calian consistently.

Arsene and Kirie were escorting Hina.

Plantz, who suffered a serious accident today, is sure that the palace is safe. It was decided to be escorted by the two until it was confirmed.

As a result of such circumstances, Arsene, who ended up acting as a guard between the two princes who were lying far apart on either side of the treatment room, moved Hina, who had fallen asleep for a moment as if she had fainted, to a small bed. And really. After making sure that the unconscious Calian was breathing, he carefully lowered the curtain and said,

“The Prince’s older brother, the Vice Commander, may suffer harm instead of the Prince. Are you aware of this?”

Plantz opened his mouth in a low voice.

“You wizard.”

“I am the vice-corps commander. Vice-corps commander.”

“He is a prince.”

Plantz, who had taken off his uniform and returned to the royal family, was no longer about to lose.

“… Yes. Please tell me first.”

“Wizard. Didn’t you know that this incident happened because of me, not my brother? I thought you thought it was right for me to suffer even if it meant harm.”

I could already smell the enormous scent of blood emanating from Calian. It is impossible to estimate how many bodies there were in the mansion.

Even if it was a fight fought by Briesen first, Calian would not have been able to handle such a task alone.

“Since when have you been questioning such things? The relationship between brothers

is better than I thought…” Arsene, who was about to tease him, closed his mouth for a moment. Not only because of my white face, but because I remembered why Lennon’s jaw was broken, and I thought I shouldn’t touch it anymore today.

But Plantz, who understood the hidden words very well, responded.

“We can’t get along well.”

These are words that I even borrowed from Alan’s mouth before going to sleep.

– No matter who was in the mansion, you didn’t do anything wrong, so if it’s the path you want to take, don’t stop or turn around and just keep living.

It’s fun.

Silike always said that too. But it’s different. It was different and fun.

– And I learned swordsmanship.

The successor to the late author.

A place that already belonged to someone. And Plants, who doesn’t like taking what belongs to others.

Calian knew that Demirea would tell Plantz the truth about the child, and he knew that Plantz would be concerned. I knew well where that concern would lead.

‘I live with cats at the residence of the Marquis of Briesen.’

I also knew that I would worry about giving up on my dream. Calian already knew everything.

I hate being stained with blood so much.

I was covered in blood and ended up hurt like that.

I didn’t have to tell him those words and fell asleep.

“But now I understand why my brother is trying so hard to save me.”

Plantz knew the reason why Calian was not completely sure why he was kept alive.

A deep sense of life that seems to show how much life has been gained.

The teaching is not to think during a fight. Swordsmanship whose purpose is to take life without any other pain. The story of Alan, who said that all he had done was protect until now. Chase said that the only thing he had done was to get rid of Tensil’s healer. And Devlan.

Plantz, who had noticed what the king was doing for a living, continued speaking.

“These are words that my brother has rejected many times.”

The most common request I have received in my life.

The words you have rejected the most throughout your life.

“… Because I said that.”

I now realize that this may have been Kalian’s first time not having to ignore, reject, or close his eyes to those words.

It reminded me of Lucy and the gray kitten.

It was only now that I realized that the words spoken that day were as heavy as a cat to Calian.

A small laugh came from the mouth of the person who thought he would never sell his heart again.
