Chapter 458

first time.

It refers to someone standing in front of you at a moment like this.

This was especially the case with peas several times. I’ve done so many things that it’s tiring to even count them. So if someone were to ask me if I was willing to do that, I would have to shake my head.

I’m glad.

Rather, at first I thought such behavior was a distraction.

The day when Plantz rushed in to stop or protect Silike, rather than to protect Calian. Thanks to Plantz, not only did Calian’s well-laid plan go awry, but he also revealed his swordsmanship skills that he had been trying to keep hidden forever, so it was a clear disruption for Calian at first.

That was why it was annoying. The discomfort gradually turned into concern, and then little by little, it changed into understanding. Just as I was beginning to think that Plantz’s behavior, which I had become accustomed to without realizing it, was amazing and thankful, a sudden nightmare came. Thanks to this, Kalian no longer considers it as a hindrance or annoyance, but he no longer feels willing to do so.

“… We’re in big trouble.”

But it was different now.

I feel relieved without knowing why.

In the end, the fact that both Flanz and Dmirea are weaker than Calian is the same. Although he is no different from Plants in that he does not have the skills to stand in Calian’s way, he is still somewhat proud.

“Do you have any problem.”

“Yes. My fiancé is so cool.”

Calian, who willingly stretched out his hand and wrapped a shield around Demirea as if sweeping her side, let out a small laugh.

“Ah… if everything is this good, what should I really do?”

They say they can’t lie, but they’re really good at saying things they don’t mean. Demirea, who still did not withdraw her sword held out in front of her, answered in a blunt voice.

“Are you drunk or poisoned?”

“Do you think I’m drunk?”

“I’m telling you this because you’re talking nonsense in a situation like this.”

Harpy, who saw that unexpected reinforcements had appeared, flew high into the sky while Calian answered with a smile in his voice.

“No, I’m sober. I just feel a little sick.”

Demirea slightly raised her head at these words and quickly looked at Calian. Then he frowned and turned his head back.

The fact that I asked him if he was okay was meaningless, and no one could tell that he was okay. Also, I don’t know what kind of whim he was wearing, but one side of the pink jacket is completely dark red.

“What the hell……”

What on earth is the problem with that person?

What should I say to my fiancé, who is always broken every time we meet? Should I ask him if he did not want to receive a letter of divorce from the royal palace, so he decided to just receive Annelucia at the Senegal River?

Demirea let out a short sigh and opened her mouth.

“Did you call me without knowing that there was nothing bad?”

Instead of getting scolded, he only gave a delayed reply to what Calian first said. Since I didn’t say that when I was drunk, I thought I should give him a proper answer.

Although it was always a similar answer to similar words.

“I didn’t know. I called my father.”

“I forgot to give the ring back to Lord Manasil. How could I not come after hearing that?”

I called Alan, but only Demirea came.

With Alan’s ring connected to Calian.

“Okay. Good job.”

Thanks to you, I almost died.

If I hadn’t arrived at the right time, it would have been four months.

Instead of saying that, I just said that I did a good job.

It arrived just in time, and it didn’t take more than four months, so I survived. You said you brought back all of Alan’s communication supplies, but aren’t there still some that Kirie and Hina shared? There was another means of contacting the palace, so that was also a problem. Even if that’s not the case, you can look around a bit and use Arianne and Chase, who borrowed Calian’s modified version for a while.

– Jingling…….

It wasn’t as low as the low voice that held Calian right before crossing the Senyu River, but at this moment, a very welcome sound was heard. Calian, who had almost forgotten his surroundings for a moment in joy, turned his head.

– Kaaang kagang kang!

A metallic sound, even cheerful, follows.

okay. Demirea did not come alone.

Cleverly and thoughtfully.

‘Master, please call Demirea. ‘I have something to tell you.’

‘Of course.’

This is Calian, who sent Dmirea, who had gone to the vicinity of Whitlin, back to Kairisis. Demirea did not take the news that Calian was looking for her again in vain. I went straight into the palace, took Alan’s ring, and started talking.

‘Rashid Brissen is targeting Jan.’

And I listened to Kalian’s words, which he told me because he thought he would destroy the evidence, but he felt like he should know about it.

Demirea didn’t think there was any reason to listen to any further explanation. I got up from my seat and came to Whitlin.

‘I hear a strange sound.’

Someone who can help you at this moment.

Taking Sword Master Siona, who was competing with Calian.

‘What do you mean?’

‘An unpleasant scream.’

When I came out of the moving magic circle and arrived near the outer castle, I heard the cries of a Siona harpy, who has better hearing than humans.

‘It could be a harpy. Like I said, I encountered it once.’

‘Then go there first.’

‘yes.’

I ran towards that sound.

And then he stood in front of Calian.

– Taaat!

Siona leapt high towards the harpy.

The attack was sent as if to intercept the Harpy that was rushing towards Calian.

– Kaga River!

– Kaaang kang kaaang!

– Aaaah!

The harpy screamed angrily, unable to get any closer to its red-eyed prey, which was on the verge of dying.

– Jingle, jingle!

The tip of Siona’s sword makes sharp music.

Calian, who was looking at that scene, took a deep breath. And he lightly took a step and said.

“Anyway, thank you, Demirea. Then stay here for a moment. Be careful of poison.”

“What are you trying to do?”

“It’s hard for Siona to be alone.”

“To fight.”

“That’s right.”

“I don’t know why you try to make so many people on the prince’s side in politics, but don’t do the same when fighting.”

“Of course I am”

– Bang!

Calian was speechless.

This time, it was Dmirea’s sword, not Dmirea, that blocked Calian.

“I didn’t come to just watch the prince fight alone. I came to understand the situation and save my side.”

“You’re not alone. Siona’s here. And you know how strong the harpy venom is.”

“Siegfried’s sword blocks anything.”

– Kwaaak!

As if there was no time to waste, Demirea plunged her sword into the floor. Then he erected the collar of the neck protector made of thick black leather and fastened the two sides together tightly.

He covered his nose and mouth as if he were wearing a large mask connected to his clothes, and even wore black leather gloves.

-Snap!

Demirea, who had covered all the areas that could be covered and only had her eyes exposed, took off the sheath of the sword tied to her waist.

“Can’t you just cut off the claws and avoid the blood?”

“Well… that’s not true.”

“It’s easy. Then.”

Saying that there is nothing difficult about it.

Demirea said those words and moved her arms. With one hand, he pulled out the sword that had been stuck on the floor and lifted the sheath with the other hand.

Pretend.

A well-crafted silver sword sheath is held out in front of Calian.

“Stay. Don’t be a bother. Be quiet.”

Calian blinked his big eyes a couple of times and stretched out his hand.

And he nodded, accepting the sheath.

“huh.”

Quietly.

* * *

Rashid Brissen.

okay. I was on my way to check on this guy’s plan.

What Rashid needs now is not Siegfried, but a false accusation against Kalian. It is not Rashid who would take the risk of targeting Siegfried in this situation. If I thought I was pushed to the edge, I would have rather gone out with a knife, but I wasn’t the type of person to do something so incoherent.

Plantz thought so.

“Why shouldn’t we get rid of it?”

“Harpy. Because there was one more.”

Plantz briefly answered Eila’s question.

Aila, who couldn’t bear to say ‘what are you talking about’ in front of him, kept her mouth shut for a moment. Whether he knew this or not, Planz quietly gathered his thoughts and continued speaking.

“If Rashid Briesen really wanted to kill me or my brother, he would have sent all those harpies at once. He didn’t.”

The reason the harpy was sent was probably to buy time. Didn’t Calian arrive at the lord’s castle late one night because he used the power of the carriage?

So Rashid’s plan ends there.

If they had wanted Calian or Plantz to die, they would have sent all the harpies who came here at once.

“So.”

Planz, who was about to give a long explanation to Eila’s words, took a deep breath.

A foul smell invades my body.

This was because there was no one here to create wind, and Plantz had not even learned wind magic.

Soon, Plantz held out his hand. Then he pointed to the floor where Eila was standing and said.

“This place was a gift from my brother’s servant.”

“i know.”

“Who knows which family that great servant belongs to?”

“Everyone knows.”

“Probably not.”

Everyone in the Balkans knows it.

Randel, Plantz, and their attendants know. Lemain knows, and Alan and Calian’s associates know.

But were there any outsiders to the royal family among them?

Is there anyone who cannot be reached by Kalian?

“How does Rashid Briesen know which family my brother’s servant comes from?”

Jan hid his identity.

Slayman himself hid Jan’s origins.

He did this even though he knew that all the nobles were whispering, ‘The second son of that family cannot accept the fact that he has become the eldest son, so he hides inside the house and does not come out.’ Because of this, the world doesn’t know what Shiroian looks like now. Even his exact life and death was unknown.

Thanks to this, the nobles who saw Jan and Demirea taking a walk together in the palace did not have a single suspicion. I just thought that Calian’s fiancée was being accompanied by his attendant. Even though they both looked so much like Slayman.

Rashid Brissen, who would have been suspicious based on his appearance, had never met Jan.

“If you had done your research, you might have known.”

“Rashid Briesen didn’t pay that much attention to my brother. If he had, I don’t think he would have recognized you.”

Even Sleiman said, ‘My kid doesn’t look like a nobleman.’ In comparison, Aila stands out. If you had researched Kalian, you would have first checked Aela, who was suddenly registered as a resident of Whitlin and appeared by Kalian’s side overnight. But Rashid did not recognize Ayla.

“When I find out that Rashid Brissen attacked you and targeted the Marquis of Manasil, and this time I was also injured, and now he is also targeting the family of that great servant. What do you think my brother will do?”

“I’m going to kill Rashid Brisen.”

“Then now either Siegfried is framed or Rashid Briesen dies. Who will benefit if anything comes true?”

Aila kept her mouth shut.

It wasn’t because she didn’t know who it was, but because there was one person who came to mind very clearly.

“I think they would have done the kind of background investigation you mentioned in order to somehow find my brother’s weaknesses. person. So, someone who would have figured out who my brother’s great servant was. There’s only one.”

Gray Briesen.

That’s how he intervened.

“What about the letter Rashid Briesen wrote?”

“I’ve never seen Rashid Briesen’s handwriting. It’s just that my brother thought so.”

“Then it was Rashid Brissen who hid and raised the harpies in this villa and gave himself time to hide something by letting only one of them go free. It was Gray Brissen who planted the evidence that he was Siegfried here.”

“Yes.”

Whitlin’s villa prepared by Jan.

It was assumed that it was Rashid who had set up a trap for Calian there. Known to be already extinct. Isn’t this a monster that reappeared with a black stone in its heart? It was difficult to think of anyone other than Rashid who could handle such a harpy. However, he brought the sword of Knight Siegfried to this villa and scattered the harpy’s feathers in his study

. It is said that Gray was the one who discovered the letter and thus thought that Rashid was trying to frame Calian for ‘holding hands with Siegfried and Whitlin and plotting treason.’ “Now

Gray Brisen is being held in the royal palace . there is. It’s difficult to deal with it like that.”

“We’re not the only ones who have communication supplies. And there were people who recognized the harpy feathers at today’s luncheon.”

The people who recognized the harpy feathers at today’s luncheon.

Some or all three of the three that Kyrie is investigating.

They raised the possibility that they are related to Gray.

” So.” Eila,

who nodded as if agreeing with Plantz’s words, asked again,

“Even if Rashid and Gray take a step at a time in a friendly manner, nothing will change. This evidence still points to the prince’s servant, even more so than Siegfried. Even if what you say is right, why do you have to keep the evidence?”

“There’s no need to destroy it. “I’m not going to eliminate it, I’m just

going to let it be known.” “Are you saying that no matter what rumors come out, I won’t hide them and deal with them head-on?”

“Yes. It’s better than causing unnecessary misunderstandings here.” This

meant that it would be better to make it public than to create the misunderstanding that something big like this happened in a place where it wasn’t Kyrissy and that they were trying to destroy the evidence by touching on it for no reason. “Because I was hurt

. It’s okay.”

“What do you mean…”

“They say it’s not me.”

The person who was injured by the harpy is none other than Plantz.

“They say it’s not me. Who could dare to doubt my brother?”

But Plantz had no intention of saying that Calian was wrong. On the contrary, he intended to blame Gray, not Siegfried. If

Plantz does not blame Calian, then who can call Calian? Would you doubt Ahn? Because no evidence in the world is stronger than the testimony of Planz, the ‘victim’. I know that it

was the victims’ voices that started to break down the silique. I remember the reports gathered by the wizards without forgetting a single word. Wasn’t it Plantz?

Planz clearly remembered what the result of the investigation without any evidence was. Moreover, he knew well how much more indignant the nobles would be when the other party’s evidence turned out to be fake. So, this evidence

. It would be better to leave everything as is, and even if Siegfried and Whitlin are involved and it may take some time, it would be better to properly check and find out. That’s what Plantz thought. “Perhaps the prince thought the same thing.” ”

Perhaps

.

” “You say you will keep what you said.”

“Yes.”

If Planz steps forward and defends Calian and Siegfried, it would mean that Plantz is completely involved in this matter. It would be like completely denying Brisen. If that happens, of course. Brisen would not want to leave Flanz alone.

So even if Calian had already thought the same as Flanz, his actions would not have changed. He would have burned all the evidence here and just tried to cover up the problem. Only in this case is it rational. There is no way that Calian, who has lost his calculations, would choose a move that might put Plantz in danger.

“The prince will be worried again.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“But… it’s fair and square that you need to leave this place.” “I don’t think it’s just an intention to set an example for the royal family.”

Plantz asked, frowning.

“What do you think?”

“I think he really hates Briesen.”

Plantz nodded slowly. .

Ayla recognized that Gray’s intention was to show Rashid the trap he had worked so hard to create. Rashid, who hates having his share taken away the most, not only ruined his own plan, but also arbitrarily ruined it.

– Kyaaaaaah!

– Kaaaang! Kang!

As the sound coming from outside clearly shows, we will not just leave Gray trying to kill Calian at will.

“no.”

So I gave my answer without any further negation.

Aila laughed slightly after hearing that.

And contrary to Calian’s concerns, he opened his mouth to praise the crown prince, who, rather than withering away, was growing well.

“For you to even think of me like this… I don’t know how to thank you.”

But like this.

An unwelcome voice came from outside the window of the training center behind Aila.
