I wonder if dust will settle.
I was a little worried and covered my face.
Then Arsene shook his head and made a gesture.
Freya and Calian sitting side by side.
The thin film of ice that surrounded them on all sides disappeared with Arseneâs touch.
ââ¦I almost did something nasty.â
Arsene wanted to learn fire magic, but his teacher was against it. This is because we looked into the attributes that fit Arsene better. If there had been no teacher, Arsene would have naturally chosen fire as his main servant. Because I liked fire the most.
But what about Kalyan? I guess there wasnât a teacher who could find out if there were other attributes that would suit me better. So, this would mean that âwindâ was Kalianâs favorite attribute when he was young.
When I made Kalian, I made it so that it could be placed somewhere in Whitlin where the wind blows so much. I was worried that the dust would settle on it, so I thought about blocking it so that not a single wind could blow in. Just like what I said, I almost did something nasty.
âI guess Iâm really tired.â
The faces of the mother and son who resemble each other so much are full of smiles. As I was staring at it, I felt like a breeze was blowing into a corner of my heart.
Should I make a bouquet of Laprania flowers and give it to Freya? Then the wind will be less cold. Should I make a pinwheel and place it in Calianâs hand? Then the wind will be less cold.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
I looked down at the statue for a while, which had become so lonely because it was so well made.
âDidnât you say you would raise a dog?â
But once again, a voice containing the answer was heard. It was Randel who had just returned from a night walk, escorted by Euria, who had woken up from her sleep.
Arsene stood up for a moment and said hello, and then his blue eyes looked into Randelâs blue eyes. Then, he nodded, agreeing with Randelâs words.
âAre you talking about a puppy?â
âYou always say that.â
â⦠Yes. That would be good.â
In the end, instead of giving her a bouquet of flowers or a pinwheel, which will only make her feel more lonely, all you have to do is give her a puppy.
Thinking like this, Arsene gathered his magic power again.
I didnât worry about what kind of puppy to make. This is because the only dog that looked familiar enough for Arsene to create was âJanâ, a poodle raised at Duke Siegfriedâs residence.
If you were a Calian after going to Camilon, you could either bring in a great desert dog that was said to be bigger than a human and raise it, or bring a black wolf or jaguar from somewhere, name it âdogâ, and raise it as you please, but what can you do? Something only poodles know.
â Square, square!
The sound of ice being touched was heard again for a while longer.
Randel, who had started drinking the tea that Dan had brought him and said it was good for a good nightâs sleep, did not tell Arsene to leave now. I just quietly lifted and put down my teacup and looked out the window.
ââ¦â¦ after.â
Before long, Arsene took his hand off the table and straightened his back.
Freya, Calian, Calianâs wind, and a dog that resembles Jan. The small statue that contains it all has finally been completed.
â Drurk!
Arsene stood up with a small sound. Then he opened his mouth to Randel.
âThe Siren will be there tonight.â
âHow long are you planning on doing that?â
âWe plan to provide close escort until the prince is relieved.â
âDonât worry.â
âyes.â
Because it was difficult to guarantee safety yet, Euria announced that she would be escorting. Then, he wrapped the statue in a red silk cloth that he had prepared at the request of one of the Vulcan agents and carefully placed it in his wizardâs pocket.
âIâll just go now.â
Randel nodded.
And Arsene opened his mouth again.
âGood luck.â
Randel did not answer. This is because he understood that the second greeting was addressed to Euria, not to himself.
âUh, go.â
âYes, Chairman of the Association.â
A short answer was heard from where no one was.
Arsene answered with a grin and came out of Randelâs room. And then he walked briskly towards the study where Freyr was.
It would be better if I showed this to Calian, but didnât Calian call this statue a âcarrotâ? If there was a stick, there would be no reason to delay giving the carrot, so I would bring it to him right away.
â Tap, tap, tap.
I took a step.
I passed through the hallway of the VIP room, went down the stairs, and walked again. Towards the study where Freyr is deep in the lordâs castle.
The wind blows.
I love that wind, so I canât help but hum.
â â¦â¦Tap.
I stopped walking.
Deep in the lordâs castle, in front of Freyrâs study.
Arsene stopped quietly and glared at the door of Freyrâs study.
â Saaaaâ¦â¦.
A thick cold feeling gathers at the tips of my fingers.
Soon Arsene put his hand on the door of the study. However, instead of opening the study door, he closed his eyes for a moment and opened them. There was a cool glow in his blue eyes, which had suddenly turned sharp.
The unique smell of sand and wind.
The smell of prey that you will never forget until you die.
ââ¦â¦ A wolf.â
Wolf of the Great Desert.
Their scent was hovering in front of Freyrâs study.
* * *
Poisonous blood flows.
The poison contained in the blood spreads.
Harpies, elves and humans.
The red eyes that had been silently watching the threeâs battle from afar blinked down and found their proper place.
âIâm anxious⦠Demirea.â
A small self-talk is heard through the wind.
âAre you saying there were harpies?â
âyes. Master. But instead of the magic stone, it was a harpy with a Zeon stone.â
âI donât know why⦠Anyway, the harpyâs poison must be strong, are you okay?â
âMy brother is addicted, but itâs because Brother Randel is there. Itâs okay.â
âPrince Randel must have taken his time.â
âThatâs it.â
âis it so. Still, Iâm glad that there doesnât seem to be any major trouble. If you happen to encounter the same guy again, donât hesitate and call me.â
âIâm a harpy⦠are you sure you donât mind that?â
âitâs okay. âNothing bigger than the princeâs life coming and going will happen right now.â
ââ¦â¦Okay then. If we ever meet again, Iâll tell my teacher.â
âDo so. And even on your way back, be careful not to step on that ground. âItâs a stronger poison than I thought.â
âyes. I wonât forget.â
It is said that one should not step on soil that is young with harpy poison.
Alan said it was a stronger poison than expected.
Blink again.
Is it because of the poison that splattered on my hand, or because I inhaled the poisonous air from the ground I stepped on? I thought of Plantz, who had never thought about the exact reason why he was poisoned by the harpyâs poison. Then he turned his head again and looked at Harpy and Dmirea, who were starting to bleed.
âI donât want to see my fiancé die again⦠I do.â
Calian muttered as if laughing.
However, he did not do anything such as disobey his orders to remain calm and step forward or send the Aurorâs sword flying to help Siona and Demirea. Therefore, neither Siona nor Demirea continued the fight without much concern for Calian, who stood behind them.
â â¦â¦ Wow.
Instead, under their feet. On the ground where the dark red blood of a harpy was left like a brand. A wide and thin shield was spread out there.
â Saaaaaâ¦!
The wind blew toward the Harpy from behind Dmirea. Like Whitlin, where the wind is good.
Blocking the sword-using Dmirea with a shield will only serve as a hindrance. The shield and wind summoned like that helped Demirea.
â Excited!
-â¦â¦ Iâm crying!
I helped him so gently so that no one would notice unless he was aware of it.
It may have been a useless act, but whatever. You can think of it as a preparation just in case.
Still, itâs like that because I did such a pointless thing.
â Ugh! Ugh!
Isnât it nice to see such a wonderful sight?
That would be fine.
âThatâs cool. My fiancé.â
Just as time does not necessarily have to be visible to pass, and the wind does not necessarily have to be visible to blow.
â¦â¦ I thought.
I felt like it was a really cool lie.
âAre you out of your mind? Now.â
scolded.
âI told you to be quiet, but you didnât listen to me.â
Unfortunately, I lost my senses at that exact moment and was caught.
I couldnât hide the smell of blood any longer, so it got caught. It seems like not only are secrets easily discovered, but even the things that get you scolded are easily discovered.
As soon as Siona caught him from falling to the floor, Calian opened his eyes again and smiled brightly.
âIâm worried. Iâm afraid my fiancé will get hurt.â
I can feel the wounds on my side healing quickly, as my aura has decreased significantly due to using magic in as wide a range as possible, and the venomous energy is disappearing again. I can also feel Demireaâs gaze staring at me as if there isnât a single corner I really like.
Demirea looked at Calian for a while and sighed.
â⦠I will not accept compensation for saving you, prince.â
âDo you think I saved you too?â
âYes. It will be the same price.â
âokay.â
Calian let out a small laugh as if he was happy to be recognized, but then closed his mouth. This is why I had to hold the blood rising from the poison to the back of my neck.
It would be great if I could collect all the poisonous energy in my body and spit it out like Alan. For now, the best thing to do is to block it with aura to prevent even the healthy parts from being poisoned. Still, at least itâs okay to be alive like this.
âI donât think Freyja was this reckless either. You are truly terrible.â
âA son must have at least one advantage over his mother.â
Calian answered Siona, who clicked her tongue, and looked down at her clothes. Now I can see things I hadnât paid attention to before.
â Jabak.
Calianâs feet, which were half-leaning on Siona, moved forward. At the same time, the dark red blood stains disappeared from the light pink jacket.
Demirea let out a long sigh and quickly moved one step towards the training ground. Before entering the fight, I heard from Siona that two peopleâs voices could be heard inside the training hall. The idea was to call them and return to Yeongju Castle.
âIt looks like he went to the back of the training room.â
âItâs not there, Demirea.â
But the voices of Siona and Calian stopped Demirea. Calian slightly turned his head to look at Siona and let out a thin voice.
âAs Siona said. There was a binge drinking earlier. It will be at the back of the training center.â
âAre you saying thereâs another fight? But why are you so relaxed here? Let me go.â
âNo⦠not a fight.â
âOr not.â
âIâll tell you. But donât pick up the knife, Demirea. Itâs dangerous if you use the knife carelessly now.â
âWhy do you say that about a knife?â
Flash.
Calian, who regained his senses, gave an answer.
âI think Iâm here.â
âWho are you saying came?â
âRashid Brissen.â
Demireaâs feet suddenly stop.
He must have remembered again why he came here. It is clear that Rashid Briesenâs words about targeting Yan came back to mind. The hand holding the sword sheath was gaining strength.
âI was wrong. Itâs not Rashid Briesen.â
âOr who is it?â
âI canât explain at length right now. Iâm sick, Dmirea.â
Anyway, itâs not Rashid.
Kalian said this and placed his hand on the handle of Dmireaâs sword. He meant to ask her not to pull it out carelessly, and Dmirea nodded quietly. Looking at Dmirea like that, he smiled gratefully
. Calian stopped quietly.
âArenât you going? If he had come to visit, he would have run away a long time ago.â
â⦠Thatâs not it. âI told you, but I thought you wouldnât listen to me.â
Kalian, who was pouring a lot of patience toward Rashid, drew a long line with his red lips. Since it
wasnât Rashid who was targeting Jan, Dmirea got even angrier at Rashid. There may be nothing to do, but itâs not Calian. He probably knows a lot, so he wonders if he can endure facing a guy who canât be killed right away. He couldnât guarantee that, so he stopped for a moment. Soon, Calian took a long breath and looked up
. He shook
his head and slowly moved his feet again,
forgetting that the sound of his own footsteps
had disappeared
.
âI donât know.â
âBecause Iâm smart.â
Iâm so smart that thereâs no situation where Iâm scared. No matter what I see, my judgment comes first, so in this situation, how can I be scared when Rashid is in front of me? I nod. I lower my head
appropriately
. Rashid, who hesitated, moved the hand holding the sword. Seeing this, Eila raised the sword in the same way, but Planz did not move. Rashid, who smiled at Eila, quietly
raised the sword.
â Clap!
And slowly moved the hand to place the sword in its sheath. Put it in.
âI know one thing,â
Rashid said, and Plantz did not reply. Rashid,
who shrugged his shoulders as if he knew it, continued,
âYou recognize me better than my mother. âI understand that now.â
âI donât plan on becoming friends.â
âAre you sure you were just saying this to socialize? âI said it out of surprise, so donât worry about it.â
âI didnât use it.â
âThank goodness.â
Rashid took a step back.
This was because Planz had come between Eila and Rashid, so the distance between them was too close. . As much as they face each other.
âI tried to get rid of the Marquis of Briesen myself.â
âI know.â
âI was uncomfortable with someone taking what I was aiming for, so I tried not to let it be taken away this time. I guess the situation isâ¦â
âGet to the point. Shortly.â
Iâm so tired.
Iâve been talking too much lately. There are only people around me who talk a lot. Except for my brotherâs new subordinate and Kirie, everyone talks a lot. âIâll hand over the Marquis of
Briesen, so please lift the wanted order for me. . There are a lot of inconveniences as I go from place to place.â
Rashid said this as he thought.
Eila, who couldnât have liked what he said, frowned, and Plantz replied,
âWhy me?â
Rashid laughed and spoke again. â I
âm sure you have a lot of questions.â About me.â
âNot really,â
Plantz answered firmly.
I had no intention of being fooled by flattery.
Wasnât my younger brother like that? When making deals, he was smart and clever⦠No. He considered it carefully and took the loss. Make a deal that you wonât see.
âOr whose life will I have to take to untie the 1st Princeâs heartâ¦â â Not
at all.â
Iâm not curious.
Iâm really not curious about that at all.
âOh my⦠â¦. Itâs a pity. Since you get along so well with the third prince, I thought you wouldnât have a bad relationship with your eldest brother either.â
âI was mistaken.â
âAre you mistaken?â
âTheyâre just cheap things. Itâs the price of your life.â
Despite Plantzâs attitude as if he already knew the seal of oath in Randelâs heart, and his response that Randelâs life was cheaper than saving Rashidâs life, Rashid just smiled quietly. Thatâs right.
Flanz
. Tsu took a step back and put his hand on his sword. He couldnât come up with words that were appealing enough to keep Rashid alive. âIf thereâs nothing more.â âDo you keep trying to put your head down like
that
? âItâs not fun, sir.â
These words were full of confidence not only for Plantz and Aila present here, but also for Demirea, Siona, and Calian on the other side. Plantz, who almost frowned at those words, quietly looked at Rashid.
âthen. How about this?â
âWell.â
âThat black cat that takes so much care of you. Someone told me an interesting story about that black cat. Are you interested in finding out who it is?â
Zeon or Danu.
I thought you would give me their secrets in exchange for information about them. Iâll give you information about them, so you can kill Gray Brisen in return. I thought you would say otherwise.
âThatâs an interesting story.â
âThat black cat smells like sea salt.â The
corners of Plantzâs eyes narrowed.
The corners of Rashidâs mouth went up.
âI heard⦠âThat
âs why the warrior sent from Zeon had the appearance of Chase. He said he would tell me about him.
That would be of some value.
Thinking this, Plantz opened his mouth. But then
â clank.
Suddenly, a heavy metal sound was heard. .
The sound was heard from somewhere other than the three of us right now. Plantz, who heard the unexpected sound, turned his head.
âHaâ¦â
And without realizing it, he let out a long sigh.
Siona and I were close by his side. Calian was standing close to him. In addition, this was because he saw Demirea standing there, who had found out that the secret of another fiancé had been leaked.
Plantz, who closed his eyes tightly, opened his mouth.
âI speak first . Donât listen, Duke.â
Wait a minute,
Duke.
Let me explain.
Thatâs roughly what it meant.
Shouldnât we stop my younger brother from breaking off the engagement?
