Chapter 323

A blue star fell.

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you. The last time I came to Secretia, it was a year when Serenti didn’t have time, so I couldn’t see her in the end.”

“This is my first time seeing this. I’m speechless.”

In addition to the words of Rachel and Euria, the sound of conversation between Kirie and Aila, and the faint scent of Sinastar, which was in full bloom again. Even though spring is in full swing, the chilly night breeze blends into one.

Hina, sitting next to Jan, can also be seen moving her hands and smiling. I looked up for a moment to see the crazy blue-haired wizard running into the garden full of cynasta to catch Coco, who had slipped out of his arms, and then looked up.

A truly blue star fell.

I looked at all the words and sentences explained in the book, but I felt that there was not a single one that fully expressed what I was feeling.

“I’ll go in first. The prince will come back with the sea breeze, so I need to prepare some bath water.”

About thirty minutes had passed.

Jan brought another cup of light green tea instead of the cold black tea, looked at the people gathered, and went inside. After that, Aila stopped smelling the bitter scent of black tea and after a while, Euria and Rachel, who had grown tired of the spicy scent of alcohol, dragged Arsene, Kirie, and Hina in. Now that we had seen enough, we decided to go in together, but Plantz just shook his head.

It makes me feel sad that I don’t know when or if I will ever be able to see Serenti’s slowdown in time again.

So I sat alone for a little while longer.

Before long, the light green tea had cooled to lukewarm.

“If you come back, not next year, but the year after, you can see it again.”

The sound of footsteps was heard later than the voice.

Since he is used to walking around without making any noise, he intentionally makes noise and walks like that.

Planz, who watched the blue light fall on his pitch-black hair and then disappear, nodded without hesitation and stood up. They say you can see it again, so wouldn’t it be a good idea to come back and see it then?

“Don’t be alone. I’m not here Kairis.”

“okay.”

Instead of saying that I was with a lot of people just a moment ago, I just nodded once more. Then, for a moment, my eyes landed on something in Calian’s hand. It was a long, red box that was nicely packaged.

“It’s Basilika. Brother Chase gave it to me.”

A liquor that was fermented more than usual at a brewery during an unusually hot year. Thanks to you, I managed to make nine bottles of Basilica by discarding most of them.

When the basilica was completed, its exceptionally strong aroma and soft taste were truly one of a kind. Other basilicas made by fermenting at similar temperatures did not taste like that at all. Thanks to this, the Basilica made at that brewery that year was treated as more precious than jewelry and was sold all over the place.

Until recently, only two bottles of Basilica remained on the continent, having disappeared from the hearts of lovers of a bottle or two. One of the bottles was in Alan’s house, and Arsene drank it right away. Arsene, who doesn’t know much about alcohol, still doesn’t know that Alan almost threw the Flame Spear that day.

anyway. Thanks to that, there is only one bottle of alcohol left.

Chase gave Calian the Basilica that was left in Devlan’s wine cellar, which is no longer in the world.

“I guess it’s a birthday present.”

Calian, who had brought it with excitement at the thought of drinking it with Alan, looked a little surprised.

“Yes, that’s right.”

In fact, the gift was not this alcohol, but the beach far below. I received it again. Of course, since he was the prince of Kairis, it did not mean that he handed over ownership of the land, but this time, Chase gifted the sea again.

If you think about it, Chase is a really boring person. It’s like giving back what was already given.

“When have I ever told you this?”

“There was.”

Plantz raised his head and looked at the blue light that was still coming down.

– Blue stars are falling.

Last summer, after attending a banquet celebrating Kalian’s birthday, Kalian said that to Plantz.

that day. The main character of the celebration was Kalian and the host was Lemain. And everyone else there had been invited. So that day, Kalyan was the only guest who visited the place uninvited.

He looked like he had gone to a place he wasn’t invited to and returned with congratulations that weren’t directed at him. I won’t make that face this summer, but I did last year. And we talked. It is said that there are days when blue stars fall in Secretia.

– Sometimes it comes and sometimes it doesn’t, so sometimes I get congratulations and sometimes I don’t. It was like that.

I feel sorry for Kalyan.

The sadness of remembering a forgotten person.

He said such a thing without even being able to hide his complex thoughts, which even Plants could not fully notice. As if he wanted people to know that there was someone else who needed to be congratulated that day and that it was not that day that he should be congratulated on.

So Plantz also knew.

February 30th. A day not even written on the calendar. ‘Kalian’ was born in the spring of Secretia, not the summer of Kairis.

“I said something useless. I.”

“Why is that?”

Calian laughed without saying another word.

And when he points towards the villa as if to tell me to just go inside.

Suddenly.

Something was thrust right in front of Calian’s eyes. For a moment, Calian, who almost hit it without realizing it, looked at Plantz.

“Why are you giving this back?”

“I’m not giving it back, I’m giving it.”

“I gave it to you.”

“What is that?”

“… No. But why are you ‘giving’ it?”

It was a modified version.

It was an item that Calian gave Plantz as a birthday present to encourage him to think about returning home while looking at the cats.

“The one in Kairis was sent to my younger brother.”

Now, after watching the coronation ceremony, I’ll go back to Kairis, and if that happens, Calian won’t be able to see Chase, just like Plantz won’t be able to see the cats.

“Just watch and live.”

It was a birthday present for Plantz.

Plantz held the crystal plate in front of Calian’s eyes once more, as if telling him to receive it quickly. Calian suddenly took it and opened his mouth.

“Brother, I am so happy that you are growing up so well.”

“Don’t bother barking.”

Calian grinned.

He gave me a gift on my birthday last year, and I got it again this time. Chase, who gave me another gift I already gave him, and Plantz, who gave me back a gift, both felt like they were trying to turn the gift around, but I accepted it anyway.

“Did you get a gift for Brother Randel? It’s been two months since Brother Randel’s birthday.”

“You didn’t either.”

“I sent it to you, Master. Although I don’t think you’ve even opened it yet.”

I know that it would be the best gift for Randel to drop the crown jewel before going to Kairis. So Planz, who had no intention of leaving, walked hurriedly into the villa.

Calian, who had sent a set of high-quality garden tree trimming scissors that Randel would have been unable to avoid without touching it if he had opened it, followed behind Plantz.

“Shouldn’t you send a gift? Even now.”

“no.”

“You should get along well. My brother and I are all grown up now.”

“If you look like that, could you please tell me the meaning of my name?”

“Ah. You’re too young to tell me that.”

“My older brother keeps barking.”

“I’ll use it well. It’s a gift.”

“…… okay.”

“After the coronation ceremony, let’s go eat codfish. I’ll buy it for you.”

“okay.”

Before I knew it, the stars stopped falling.

Instead of blue light, a pure white star appears again, and a silver moon illuminates the garden full of synastars.

“While you’re eating cod, you’re also buying a gift for Brother Randel.”

“Stop.”

“yes.”

A day passes by that sparkles more than any other day.

Blue light rises toward the sky between white flowers. It was the light of Sinastar that followed after the time of Serenti.

* * *

As I was buttoning my shirt, I turned my head and saw that Jan was crying.

“I said it’s okay.”

“Still. It gets on my nerves every time I see it.”

It’s already been more than two months since we started crying and making a fuss, asking who did this to our flower-like prince’s back. Nevertheless, he still makes the same face every time he changes clothes.

It is said that it was Han who killed that guy gracefully.

He said something scary, asking if they should have just saved him and sent him to Siegfried.

“Will I always be like that until I grow old and die?”

“Yes. It will be like this. It will be like this every time the prince changes his clothes.”

“Even if it’s because I’m scared of you, I shouldn’t increase it any further.”

“So, please be careful. If the prince’s scars increase again, I will quit my job.”

He says something scary again.

This means that he will call all the elephants and seek revenge until the Seneu River dries up and wears out.

“Okay, okay. I’ll be careful.”

In the end, Calian laughed and pointed at the jacket. Yan nodded and opened his mouth, helping me put my arms into my jacket sleeves.

“Indeed, Relic arrived just in time.”

“I’m glad.”

Meanwhile, he grew taller again.

They were both tall.

It was fine as the other clothes could be refitted here, but the problem was the uniforms the prince and crown prince had to wear today. Thanks to this, Relic, who had been following the cats and baby elephant, returned to Kairis for a while.

The crown prince’s livery was made later, with much more embroidery and decoration than the prince’s livery for Kalyan. So Reric came here briefly yesterday, left the conquest of Calian first, and then returned again, arriving early this morning.

“Master must have come too, then.”

“Today, there is an event at the Kairis Palace. So I just watched the prince sleep for a moment and then went back. They told me not to wake him up.”

After becoming the continent’s strongest wizard, Alan seems to have somehow become the continent’s best express transportation manager. We carry people and cats from place to place, and now we are even carrying clothes.

“Now that I think about it, today is the day to spread fish food in the Seneu River.”

“Yes. It’s the first day of March.”

Unlike Secreta, where spring has already arrived a long time ago, in Kairisis, which is still cold, it is not until this time of year that the Senu River melts. There were times when there was ice here and there without it completely melting, but usually around this time, the sound of water flowing was heard again.

It was a day to celebrate a successful winter and welcome a new year with an event to feed fish that would otherwise not be able to find food under the frozen river. Since it was LeMaine’s day to go out, Alan would have had to look after the escort.

Kalian, who was good at using a knife, smiled slightly at the thought of his father, who came over and looked at his face without anyone noticing.

“I’ll be back soon. You can see me then.”

“Yes. Don’t be too disappointed.”

“OK got it.”

The person who needed to stand out today was Chase, not Calian. That’s why I didn’t wear any accessories that were too eye-catching. The prince’s uniform consisted of a black vest, jacket, and black pants, and he wore a red cloak with black fur trim on one shoulder. The winter uniform was minus the coat.

There was no need to wear winter uniform, but the frail and green crown prince still felt cold. I have no idea how he was still alive in Kairis. Anyway, since Planz wore a winter uniform and Calian couldn’t wear anything else, it was decided to wear it like this.

After Jan, who replaced Merlin, who was not here, did a final inspection and even sprayed a few perfumes with a faint tangerine scent, preparations were completed. And went out.

“I prepared it because I thought you would ride in the Raven rather than the carriage.”

“That’s right. Thank you.”

At the end of my answering gaze, I saw a carriage with the Kairis royal emblem engraved on it. I couldn’t ride the carriage that was so luxurious today either. The person who would use that carriage today was not Calian.

Plantz was standing outside the carriage, wearing a dark navy blue jacket similar to Calian’s but with more patterns embroidered with gold thread, black trousers, and a black cloak with navy blue fur trim. And sitting in the carriage was pretty Hina, wearing a beautiful turquoise dress full of white lace and a tiara that sparkled the same way.

After Plantz entered the carriage after Hina, Kalyan, who tried to calm down the fact that our Hina was so pretty but was noisy on the inside, got on top of Raven.

– Flap!

The thick cloak swells for a moment and then sinks.

It wasn’t long before we started doing various things.

A carriage pulled by six horses and the prince riding on a black horse set off for the Secretia royal palace.

* * *

Temple of Serenti.

Like Tensil, there is, of course, a temple of Serenti in Secretia. There was also a priest. It’s just that I didn’t use my healing power in an abnormal way, but I didn’t abandon my faith in Serenti.

The coronation ceremony begins at the temple.

Originally, a ceremony was held to receive all eight sacred relics, but this has been gradually simplified, and now only the ceremony to receive the orb, scepter, and crown is performed in order. That alone took a considerable amount of time, and after that, they had to march to the square, make a declaration in front of the square, and then return to the royal palace. After receiving greetings from the nobles in the throne room, the ceremony of storing the orb, scepter, sword, and crown is performed again. Only after the coronation ceremony was over did the celebration continue.

– Multi-faceted, multi-faceted.

Instead of the carriage with its curtains tightly drawn, many eyes were focused on Calian, who had his back straight, his head not lowered at all, and his red eyes slightly lowered. It was the gaze of the crowd who were not invited to the temple. The royal carriage of Calian and Kairis, without paying any attention to anyone else, slowly passed between them. That’s how we arrived at the temple.

When the carriage door opened, Plants, who checked his clothes one last time, came out first, followed by Hina. Behind Calian, Yan and Kyrie stood with their arms around Plantz, and behind Hina, Relic and Arsene stood. The rest of the people, excluding the fiancé and those who served as attendants and guards, were only invited to the celebration and would meet at the palace later.

Kairis’ guests, guided by the temple’s guides and knights, were seated in the VIP section. Calian gave a quick glance at Louise and Arianne in the distance and sat down.

Since Kalian’s group arrived almost last, the eyes of the visitors who had already gathered turned to Kalian once again. He saw a mixture of fear and admiration in the eyes of those who still remembered the sight of him throwing the sword into Devlan’s heart, but Calian did not show much.

– Deeng Deeng Deeng…….

The door of the temple was closed.

The deep ringing sound of the bell signaled the beginning of the coronation ceremony in which the king of a country was officially crowned.

Everyone sits down and closes their mouths.

The high priest came forward first and recited a prayer praying that Serenti’s blessings would rest on Secretia forever.

– Deeng……

And then another bell rang.

Chase walked out in front of the closed door in the distance.

The pure white cloak embroidered with red thread, symbolizing Serenti, sparkles in the sunlight coming in from the temple window. Every time I take a step on the red cloth, I can hear the sound of the long cloak grazing the floor. The white pants and red jacket were embroidered with gold thread. Gold chains and tassels sway with every step.

Calian, who was watching Chase walking out as if cutting through the sunlight, closed his eyes for a moment.

second.

This was the second time I saw that.

When I received the orb, received the scepter, and realized that it was the ruby that decorated the treasured sword, I held my breath for a moment.

– Deeng deeng…….

Two bells ring.

Chase knelt down on one knee in front of the High Priest.

The high priest took the cloth from the hand of the person carrying a large box wrapped in velvet. A gorgeous crown appeared.

Diamond. and.

It’s so out of place.

A pale amethyst was embedded in the very center of the crown.

Calian closed his eyes once again.

– Deeng Deeng…… Deeng……

Three bells ring.

Chase stood up.

I put on my crown and turned around.

I became a real king and looked around at everyone gathered here.

– Thank you for coming. Crown Prince Planz.

Plantz frowned as he heard Chase’s voice ringing in his head. I realized it wasn’t a thank you. If I had known this would happen, I would have given the crystal version and not taken the ring away.

– congrats. give.

As a harsh voice sounded in his head, Chase looked at Calian with a mischievous smile that could not be seen. I looked at him like that for a while and then nodded slightly.

Chase’s feet move again.

Outside the temple, into the square, where there are people.

Calian’s eyes, which had been quietly looking at it, looked somewhere else for a moment. And then it stopped.

‘…Tensil.’

Tensil royal pattern, royal attire.

Tensil’s distinguished guest who came to this place, which is no different from an enemy country.

An unknown smile appeared on Calian’s face.

The crown prince of Tensil was there.
