Kalyan said.
If someone who doesnât look like me lives like me, Iâll get scolded.
That means.
âFor your injuries.â
âMy arm. Itâs broken.â
ânot.â
âMy wrist was a little swollen too.â
ânot.â
âYou fell and got a little cut earlierâ¦?â
It is said that Kalian, who looks like Kalyan, was not scolded.
Iâm not sure if itâs concern or questioning, but Iâm not being scolded for cutting off my leg.
âThere are no serious injuries. Itâs okay, brother.â
Anyway, there is no way to find a place to scold her, and I donât know if she knows the true intentions of Kalyan, who firmly believes that thanks to her very pretty and curly beauty, she has saved herself from being scolded today.
Plantz frowned as he listened to the carefree answer of his crazy, crazy brother who was like an enemy and had missed the opportunity to get angry by saying that I was your younger brother even while he was losing his mind.
âHide it. Tell me. It smells like blood.â
âIâm not in the right mood to play chess. Iâm sick.â
âyou.â
âI told you Iâd tell you if you win. So, Iâll play with you when I get back to the palace. If you win, Iâll tell you too.â
Calian, who had lived his life thinking that his stubbornness was the best on the continent until he saw Plantzâs true colors, spoke sternly.
âUntil then, I will hide it.â
âwhy.â
âYou probably only worry more for no reason.â
âAurors that cannot be contained in the circle and are not integrated with magic are accumulating. So, Aurors with different attributes are continuing to clash within the princeâs body.â âUntil we increase it or find a solution, internal injuries will continue to occur.â
ââ¦â¦Kiri.â
Kyrie, who carefully took off Calianâs black jacket and rolled up the right sleeve of his wine-colored shirt, pretended not to hear Calianâs restraint and continued speaking.
âIn normal times, there is no big problem because I have the power of blessing, but when I use an auror, it seems like the severity of my internal injuries gets deeper. I ended up in this situation because I overexerted myself yesterday and used a moving magic circle with internal injuries, and I even got into a fight. I will.â
âKiri. I told you not to talk about it, but I did.â
âIâm sorry, Prince. Your life is more important to me than your orders.â
Kirie answered calmly.
If Calian hadnât cut off the leg, he would have kept silent. But as things turned out like this, I thought it would be better to tell someone about the situation and solve the problem as quickly as possible.
Calianâs eyes sank deeply.
âKyrie.â
âYes, my king.â
âThere is an emergency exit not only in the main palace but also in the basement of the spire. Click on the wall piece with Serenti engraved under the fourteenth magic lantern on the right. There will be a staircase, but if you look closely, there is a hidden door on the wall to the right of the stairs. If you go down just looking at the stairs, you will be trapped in the abyss, so donât go down, open the wall door and go into the passage.â
ââ¦Why are you telling me that?â
âGo there. It will lead to the forest outside of Secreta. If you dig under the rock to the right of the exit, youâll find a bag with gold coins. Donât forget to take it all.â
âMy lord.â
âRun away, Kirie. Go live. I went up the Sword Path, taught other guys, and went sightseeing here and there. Live like that. Whatever you do, live it because itâs good. Kirie.â
âI donât like it.â
âIâm not asking for it. âIâm giving you an order.â
âIt doesnât matter if itâs a request or an order. âI wonât listen.â
âKyrie.â
âI became a knight to protect the king, not to do his bidding. âDidnât you know?â
â¦then and now.
Even if you listen to the instructions carefully, you can still break them arbitrarily.
Kyrie took her eyes off Calian, who was silent, and looked at Calianâs arms. In fact, I didnât even need to check for a long time. Because the broken bone was misaligned, the space between my wrist and elbow was bulging.
Kyrie looked at this for a moment and strongly grabbed Calianâs upper wrist and lower elbow with both hands.
Then, he applied force by pulling in the opposite direction, as if stretching his arm.
Without a single word of warning.
â Crack!
I started to put the broken and misaligned arm bones back into place.
Calian paused for a moment and looked down at his arm.
And Plantz frowned once again as he looked at Calianâs face, which did not frown at all. It had to be that way because he remembered exactly what it felt like when Kirie adjusted his arm, which had only been dislocated without a fracture.
â Wow! Crack!
âUnder the current situation, if the power of blessing disappears, the princeâs life may be in danger.â
Kirie continued quietly.
While fully listening to the creepy sounds I was making with my own hands. Just listening to the small sound of breathing that stops for a moment and then repeats.
â Crack!
One last time.
Kirie, who had been looking down at her slender arm that had barely found its place, raised her head. I looked at Calian, who wasnât frowning at all but couldnât even hide his pale face, and then turned my eyes to Plantz.
âIf His Majesty finds out about that⦠I am afraid that he may decide to resign his position as crown prince in this situation, so I cannot tell you until I return to the palace safely.â
The moment someone enters Arpia Palace, sits on the throne, and announces that Kairisâ owner has changed, the blessings bestowed on Lemaine and her children are withdrawn. If Cispanian blood flows in the body of the person who usurped the throne, a new blessing will be granted to that person, but if not, the power of the blessing will no longer be passed on to anyone.
And one more thing.
When Lemain dies.
If there were no children to ascend to the throne, the power of the blessing would remain until a new king was chosen and sat on the throne, but that was not the case now. Isnât the person who will inherit the throne decided? Therefore, as soon as Lemain died, the power of the blessing given to Randel and Calian would be withdrawn. Unless he usurps Planzâs position and sits on the throne, he will not be able to have the power of blessing again.
âSo, please donât think about giving up your crown in advance for fear of something going wrong. All I ask is that you worry and think of a solution together.â
Kyrieâs words ended as if they were inside Calian and Plantz.
Should I be thankful for putting my bones together, or should I be scolded for letting go of everything I had hidden. Kyrie left the place, leaving Calian who was confused. The purpose was to find something that could be used as a splint.
Calian, who had been looking at the back for a while, quietly opened his mouth.
âI got scolded by Kirie instead of my brother.â
âSince when.â
âFrom the moment I started to heal my bones without even saying it would hurt.â
ânot.â
â⦠I donât know exactly. I didnât know until I took out both Aurors while fighting against Vulcan.â
âThen go to that blue auror.â
âYes. The blue aura is a pure aura that is newly accumulating. As you may know, the one I used was red.â
Red light.
The power of the stone is also red.
Although it is a coincidence, it is a strange thing.
Allen used fire as his main servant until he became the 7th Circle and the restraints on his attributes disappeared. Thatâs why Alanâs magical power is red. The same goes for the magic power of Euria, Needlen Arsene, and Plantz himself. It did not deviate significantly from the unique light of the master and servant.
But it wasnât Calian. The color of the aura mixed with magical power was red. Even though it was said to be a transparent light until the fight with Alan in the forest and the auror and magical power were completely united.
Unless itâs due to magic or the influence of that stone.
Why are Calianâs auras red?
âI donât know why. In fact, it is neither full magical power nor full auror. Maybe thatâs why it has an exceptional color. Thatâs all I was thinking.â
The thoughts that come to mind as soon as I have a question, the story Calian once told me, the energy of Randel that I saw today, and even the light of the aurors used by Zeonâs gang.
âI wish it was red.â
Plantz, who had calmed down his mind from instantly recalling all the things related to red in his memory, opened his mouth again.
âHow not to pile it up.â
âNo. Not until you become like the Marquis of Gray Briesen.â
They said it was impossible unless the Danjeon was eliminated.
âIf the mixed forces are unstable. Isnât it better?â
As I cleared away the red light, a story I once told to Balkan wizards came to mind.
Itâs better.
I said things like that without knowing anything.
âLord Castrin will confirm with the teacher, and I plan to ask Siren as well. Even if it doesnât work out, if you put your mind to it and practice, you can achieve the 5th circle without any problem. So.â
âokay.â
âWhat.â
âYouâre just worried. You wonât put down your three-pointed position.â
âAre you going to worry about it?â
âsun.â
âyes.â
Calian smiled and nodded.
I wonder if they do this even though they know what I look like.
Plantz, who had an annoyed face, opened his mouth.
[Clean]
This is only my second time using magic. Even as I watched Lucy and Anneâs hair growing out, I started writing again what I had been holding back from writing.
After seeing that everything from the blood stains on his face to the dirt on his black clothes had been completely erased, Calian opened his mouth with a simple smile on his face.
âYouâre good at using magic.â
âI didnât write it.â
âItâs clean.â
âno.â
âLooking at it again, it looks clean.â
âSpeak informally.â
âOnly in this case.â
âalso.â
Calian, who ended up missing one letter, let out a long laugh.
How long has it been like that?
It was around this time that my big red eyes began to slowly open after being closed for a long time, as I was relieved to feel the drowsiness that was coming.
â Jump and jump.
I heard the sound of someone stepping on a rock approaching.
It was Kirie, carrying a suitable piece of wood.
While Plantz held the splint under Calianâs arm, Kyrie took out a bandage from Calianâs pocket and began to carefully wrap the arm.
Calian, who was quietly watching the scene, opened his mouth.
âYouâre doing well, Kirie.â
âIâve tried it many times, but Hina is better at it than me.â
Knowing how to set bones and skillfully apply bandages is all that proves that he did not live comfortably before coming to the palace, which makes me sad. Even Hina is good at sewing.
Calian raised his left hand and stroked Kyrieâs light blue hair. As I often do, itâs like dealing with a child much younger than me.
âI will make sure nothing gets worse.â
Kirieâs hand, which was knotting the bandage, stopped for a moment.
âIâm sorry. I made you worry.â
ââ¦â¦ All right.â
Kyrie answered without adding another word and supported Calian. And then he put Calian on Plantzâs back.
Thanks to that, I didnât see Calian.
You even barked at your new subordinate that I was withering away, so why did you say you were sorry for worrying only him and not me? The expressionless face of a pea full of dissatisfaction.
âLast time, I was so distracted that I didnât notice, but your back is hard and a bit uncomfortable. Kirieâs back is hard, but very comfortable.â
So I guess I can say something like this.
âGet off. If you donât want to. Donât bark.â
âno. âIâll be quiet.â
Calian answered calmly and closed his mouth.
And it wasnât long before he fell into a sweet sleep,
leaning completely on his brotherâs back, which was hard and a bit uncomfortable.
* * *
â The prince was safely brought to
us. â I guess so. â Were there
any more attacks?
â No. Not yet. â
Okay.
â Shall we meet in the middle or where we tied up the horses?
â I will go straight to where the horses are.
â The mountain path may be unfamiliar, but can you find it? Prince. Are you okay?
â I can come find you.
â Okay, let me know if anything else happens. I will too.
â Yes.
After finishing the conversation with Aela through Calianâs bracelet, Kyrie continued to walk. Plantz followed behind. I walked, adjusting my speed so as not to widen the distance.
We didnât really have much conversation. After the most talkative person in the world fell asleep, there was no conversation between the two most talkative people in the world. â
In front. â
Meanwhile, these words were relayed from Plantz.
Kirie stopped and looked at Plantz.
âA grass that looks like the palm of a child and has black stems. I heard you shouldnât touch it.â
Kyrie turned his head again. Then he looked at the place Plantz had mentioned. There was a long patch of grass growing in the same shape as Plantz had mentioned. âItâs not like itâs poisonous, but if you touch it by mistake
, If you do so, your skin will become sore and inflamed.â
Recalling what Calian had told her once, Kyrie nodded and walked around the pile of grass again.
Then, suddenly, she opened her mouth.
âArenât you having a hard time?â
âItâs not going to be hard.â
The highest quality fabric on the continent. He was wearing a cloak made of jewels and a long brother on his back. No matter how light Calian was and the path was downhill, there was no way it wouldnât be difficult. It was difficult for Kirie to say that she would carry Calian on her back because of attacks that could come from anywhere and at any time
. He opened his mouth again,
âIf it gets too much, just tell me. Itâs okay to take a break.â
âItâs better to go down quickly. The sun is setting.â
âThereâs still time.â
âThey say the sun sets quickly in the mountains. Thatâs right.â
This, too, must have been something Calian had told us.
Kyrie nodded and accepted what he said.
âEven so, itâs not enough to make me inclined.â
âHow do you know?â
âWhen I was young, I left the capital for a while and worked in the mountains. There was. So, I stayed in the mountain for about a few months.â
â⦠Then, just a moment.â
Plantz stopped for a moment as he said this.
While he believed most of what Calian said, he didnât believe anything Kyrie said at the same time. No. Kirie smiled slightly at that sight and guided Plantz to a suitable place to sit.
âThatâs enough. âThat is.â
However, instead of sitting down, Planz stood with one shoulder leaning against the large tree nearby. He was afraid that if he put Kalian down, who was more like fainting than falling asleep, it would be difficult to pick him up again. âDrink some water, my lord.
â
â Itâs okay.â
Plantz, who refused the canteen that Kyrie handed him, quietly used his magic power. He filled the canteen that was making the sound of emptying out with water. Even though Plantz probably didnât know that he knew how to use magic, he wasnât overly surprised. Kyrie only said thank you and drank the water.
After a while, Plantz, who had finished resting, took his body away from leaning against the tree.
But Kirieâs voice grabbed Plantzâs feet.
âWhen did you learn magic?â
âHow long ago was it?â .â
âAre you planning to learn magic?â
âNo.â
âIâm telling you because I think youâll do well if you do.â
âI know.â
The old Calian also learned magic on his own. If someone teaches him by his side, Plantz, who is of the same blood, will be much better. He would be able to learn magic quickly. Besides, he was smart.
âThatâs why I donât do it.â
Kirie looked at Planz.
It was difficult to see the meaning of the answer as a confident answer that he wouldnât do it because it was clear that he would do well. He said,
âAre you not confident in handling your power properly?â
Rather, it seemed like he was saying that he was not confident.
Plantz nodded and answered as if Kyrieâs thoughts were correct.
âNot yet.â
He looked at Plantz for a while. Kirie, who was watching, opened her mouth.
âThe day the princeâs cat entered the rose garden, and the day you helped Hina. I talked to Hina at that time. About whose hands my parents lost their lives.â
Evan
and Brissen.
That was their story.
âI said that to tell you to keep your distance from me.â
âYes.â
âDo you know what Hina answered? .â
âWhat did you say?â
âThatâs why you must have become a good person, so I said that.â â
â¦â¦ Hina.â
âYes.â
Kirie, who had put her hand on Calianâs forehead and measured his temperature, opened his mouth. â Hina
is not a child who trusts people well. I have not lived in an environment where I can innocently trust and depend on others. Instead, thatâs how I see people well.â
Planz slowly closed and opened his eyes.
Kirie continued.
âIf you suddenly feel uneasy about just believing what the prince said and completely letting go, you can try trusting Hinaâs eyes. It would be good.â
âWhether itâs a sword or magic. I hope I can learn it quickly and be of help to my brother.â
Kirie looked down at Plants. She
looked into his light green eyes and answered.
âIâm saying this as a favor. As you already know that I have no other intentions.â He opened
his blue eyes once and then once with his black eyes.
Plantz, who was looking up at Kyrieâs eyes, opened his mouth.
âGive me water.â
Kirie, with a blunt face, nodded. .
And he handed over the canteen, which still had a lot of flantz left in it.
* * *
âPurrup.â
Raven rested her forehead on Calianâs collar and pushed Calian slightly. Calian, who didnât hold back and was bitten about half a step, smiled brightly. .
âIâm getting angry at my own horse now.â
Calian suddenly came to his senses as soon as he came down from the mountain and arrived in front of Raven.
He fainted quietly during the difficult climb down the mountain, but how did he come back to his senses just in time? Thatâs right. Calian left Flanz alone with a look on his face that seemed like it was a fucking wonder. He continued to have fun with Raven. Before long, the rest of the party, including Slayman and Lemaine, whose complexions had improved significantly, came to visit
. There were no more attacks. It is said that there was none. Should we
consider that fortunate? Should we say that it is a pity that they were so distracted that they were not able to capture even a single person alive? The group gave up such thoughts and got on the horse. Lemain, who had an injured arm, sat on the Estina together, and Ronansite went to Aila
. They decided to ride together. Sleiman rode Kyrieâs horse alone, and instead Kyrie sat with Euria. Raven, who was already uncomfortable with the smell of blood emanating from Calian, would not allow Kyrie to sit together. .
Calian climbed on top of Raven and looked at the party members, including Sleiman and Randel Planz, before turning his gaze to Lemain.
âYour Highness. I think it would be a good idea to go to Shurinz. Because of my and Lord Siegfriedâs injuries, I donât think I will be able to use the movement magic circle right away.â âI donât
know the situation there yet, so wouldnât it be better to go to the County of Aprin?â
But Slayman expressed the opposite opinion.
âAprin. There are just as many soldiers in the county as in Shurinz. For now, I think it would be safer in the County of Aprin than in Shurinz, prince.â
In addition, Euria also expressed this opinion.
She does not trust the Margrave of Shurinz.
He will lead a new knight union and train knights to serve Calian. The Aizen Aprin sent was clearly Calianâs person, but he did not have that much faith in the Margrave of Shurinz. In the end,
Lemain also nodded. After that, it was difficult for Calian to express a different opinion. Anyway. Calian also said this because Shurinz was closer to where he was now, so he did not raise any further objections. He then quickly rode away. As the sky, which had been turning red, gradually became dark and completely black by the
end, he would have rather gone to
Euriaâs mansion . We arrived at the County of Aprin, which had a small castle that seemed to be bigger than this.
Count Aprin, who was astonished as if he had seen the continent being divided, hurried out and greeted us.
âI am Count Aizen Aprin. I am in a state of panic because I never thought I would see you like this. Iâm sorry, Your Majesty.â
What on earth happened to bring all the royal family to visit like this? What are the bandages on Lemaineâs arm? Why are Slayman and Calianâs complexions so bad? Aizen, who didnât ask any questions, turned to the lord for now. He guided the party to the castle.
âItâs shabby, Your Majesty.â
These were not empty words.
It seems like all the money sent to train knights was really spent only on training knights. The rye was so delicious because the countess had baked it herself and sent it. Calian, thinking of the cookies, laughed for a moment.
âNo. âIt looks like a comfortable place,â
Lemain answered, looking at the small place that clearly didnât have proper rooms for VIPs. It wasnât long before
Count Eifrin brought out a hastily prepared meal. How could I refuse such food filled with so much care? . Therefore, Kalian ate a lot of white bread, saying that it was okay since Hina was not there. When Kalian, who was full, smiled with satisfaction. â Please do not come to the palace. Alan was heard saying. Immediately he
started
laughing
. Calian, who sighed as he erased his words, answered.
â Is it an attack?
â Yes.
Calian quietly turned his head
and opened his mouth quietly.
âWe must return to the villa right now, Your Highness.â
He was resting peacefully without knowing anything. Toward Lemain.
