Chapter 64

It’s too early.

This was Lemain’s idea after hearing that people were showing great interest in Calian.

It wasn’t that I was wary of Kalyan, I was worried.

A day before Calian arrived in Kairisis.

Naturally, people gathered again to welcome Kalian’s return. It was said that a prince resembling a Sispanian would return after creating an auspicious event that would make the community shine, so many people gathered this time as well. Because of this, Kalyan’s name did not come out of the mouths of those who filled the streets.

And they were already predicting whether Calian would become the next crown prince or not. As a result, Lemain thought it was too early. Lemain was worried that because of their interest, Calian would become a target for Sillike and Randel.

– oh. Someone who knew this sent the knights Kaera to Ratran Castle.

After hearing Lemain’s concerns, Alan said the same thing without fail. Of course, Alan’s point was always right, so Lemain couldn’t say anything to the mouth that was spitting out words while chewing an apple.

In any case, Lemain’s concerns were somewhat correct.

Randel’s thoughts were unknown, but the other person’s intentions were even more twisted.

“I guess we’ll see each other again tomorrow.”

A beautiful voice flowed from between red lips.

“What a great rumor. Be happy to meet you.”

It was the first luncheon meeting with my biological son in almost five months, since the day Kalian was bitten by poisoned tea. However, all that came out of Silike were words of caution against Calian and the scent of Renieri.

Of course, Planz never wanted anything more from Sillike.

Probably not.

“I guess he wanted to see me because he was happy to see my brother.”

In response to Plantz’s low voice, Silike, who was somewhat thin but still beautiful, responded with a beautiful smile.

“They say the Margrave will be coming soon, so I called to let you know.”

Not a word was said about Lennon, who was missing. He seemed to only be concerned about the new person, Gray.

Plantz nodded half-heartedly and then answered.

“So.”

“That’s why.”

There was coldness in Silike’s eyes.

Calian’s words rang in Sillike’s ears as she looked at her son sitting in front of her, waiting for this event to end.

– Plantz didn’t say that for me.

The day Kalyan drank poison. Silike didn’t believe it at all when he said that Plantz’s intention to stop Silike from protesting was to save her. Because Plantz was always anxious not to interfere with Silike’s work.

The current attitude was the same. Even though Gray’s arrival would be of great benefit to Plantz, he just doesn’t like it.

Silike spoke in a calm, soothing voice.

“This is the path you will take anyway. Don’t you know that? So stop your pointless rebellion.”

Plantz chuckled at those words.

“It’s a bit annoying to say anyway.”

After saying that, Planz buried himself deeply into the backrest. A languid voice that matched that appearance flowed out.

“I don’t even know if this path was decided by someone.”

Silike gave no other answer. This is because it was so obvious that it was up to someone to decide, so I didn’t feel the need to answer. Plantz, who had not expected an answer, continued.

“The wizards found out more than I knew. Much more.”

It was talking about the people who died due to the silique that Calian had revealed.

Plantz wanted to know whether Silike had really harmed them all. I already knew it was true, but I wanted to confirm.

Silike smiled brightly.

“Why are you still acting so young?”

Do I need another answer?

Plantz said with a twisted smile.

“That day. I should have just shut up.”

No matter what Lemain, who lost his temper, said to Director Kaera, he should have just waited. Plantz was saying something like that.

Silike’s eyelashes fluttered as she realized that Calian was right. But that was the only thing that changed. Now, Silike is feeling betrayed once again by Plantz’s words that he regrets blocking Lemain that day.

Silike looked straight into Planz’s green eyes, which looked exactly like her own.

“My son. Don’t try so hard.”

What Plantz always said came out of Silike’s mouth.

When told to remain quiet, Planz also looked into Sillike’s eyes.

“……Some people have changed so much. Some people haven’t changed much.”

Plantz, who muttered like that to himself, stood up first. I felt that awful Renieri scent again.

“I think you will continue to work hard. I will remain quiet as you wish.”

Plantz decided to forget that Calian had changed.

I thought that only then would the scent stop.

– Viscount Reddington will arrive in Kyrisis no later than next week at the latest. I’m not someone who has ever worked at a top level, but I think I’ll adapt well. After I decided to come to Kairisis, my enthusiasm was great.

– Fortunately, the. Baron Fallun will be spared death from overwork.

Alan seemed to have become a lot closer to Melfir while Calian was away, and he seemed quite pleased and responded like this.

Kalian’s message soon came to an end, and this time Alan delivered the news. Calian, who was laughing after hearing that Lemaine almost paid for the carriage, asked.

– So Balkan will be founded right after I arrive?

Alan asked after not answering Calian’s question for a moment.

– Did I tell the prince that?

– no. I think they decided to bring the date forward because of my accident. However, since people were worried that there might be an attack if I founded the group while I was outside of Kairisis, I thought I would set a date right after I left and keep it a secret until then.

Alan was heard laughing.

– You were playing nicely in the prince’s hands. It is as you said. When the prince returns, we will immediately announce the founding and hold a founding ceremony the following week. Until then, I don’t plan to announce it to the outside world.

– You said that the Magic Academy is temporarily using an empty building on Teinansha Street. What do you plan to do with the Wizards?

Calian didn’t seem to have thought about where Balkan would stay. Therefore, Alan said, expecting Calian’s surprised reaction.

– We decided to invade Pavel’s territory.

Calian, who heard Alan’s words, tightened his grip on Raven’s reins.

Calian, who thought for a while without another answer, spoke.

– Silike is very angry, so there must be a threat to His Majesty.

– You are taking this into account. And don’t underestimate Kaera’s knights too much.

Don’t underestimate Kaera’s knight.

Calian laughed softly. It was a laugh that could not be conveyed to Alan.

– You look down on me. I’m worried because I see it clearly. Even the knight commander has not entered the path of the sword, so how can he protect Lemaine from two sword masters?

Alan must have thought everything would be okay because he was by his side, but it was difficult for Calian to feel at ease. In the current situation, if Gray went to Kairisis, LeMaine’s life would be in real danger.

Calian, who was thinking while tapping Raven’s saddle instead of the table, opened his mouth. It was not directed at Alan, who was connected to the ring, but at Jan, who was riding next to him.

“Is this the only way from Reddington to Kyrisis?”

Jan nodded and answered those words.

“Yes. Unless you have to go round and round, this is the only way.”

Calian nodded and muttered.

“The Margrave won’t ride that pink carriage all the way to the capital. Then, if you do well, we’ll meet you.”

And then I was lost in thought for a while.

It was a time to evaluate the number of possible cases for what had just been decided. Soon Kalian said something that seemed like a joke.

– Master. I might have another accident.

Alan, who heard that, spoke as if he was concerned.

– Everyone here knows that the Prince and Margrave Brisen met and that their paths were the same. So please don’t do anything that will cause misunderstanding. I’m worried that I might swing the knife hastily.

– I have no intention of killing Gray. But I already have no intention of letting His Majesty give up his life because of me.

– May I ask what you plan to do?

– Rather than saying that he was thinking about doing something… I think it would be more accurate to say that the Margrave of Brisen no longer has any intention of letting him go to Kairisis.

Calian smiled and responded.

– I will not swing a knife. Don’t worry, I’ll swing my sword when it’s not damaged.

– All right. As long as it’s not a knife, you can do whatever you want.

Although he didn’t know what kind of accident he was going to cause, it was Lemain’s responsibility to have a headache while watching his son get into an accident. So, Alan responded, thinking it was just another fun thing to see.

– Tap, tap, tap!

Several horses were running at tremendous speed.

It was completely different from the speed at which a normal horse runs. It was so fast that anyone who saw it would wonder if they were dreaming.

“So in one word…!”

Arsene and Rachel were having a conversation on a horse at such incredible speed.

Calian only said that he hoped there would be some results before arriving at Kairisis regarding the moving magic circle. However, Arsene felt as if the end of his life was approaching as the day of his entry into Kairisis drew near. In the end, we ended up continuing the discussion with Rachel regardless of time and place.

The problem was that the speed of speech was too fast.

The reason why the speed increased so much was because of Kalian’s requirements. Immediately after finishing the conversation with Alan, he asked the horses to run at the fastest speed they could endure.

“What I’m saying is, why not use something like a seal of oath!”

“But the oath seal is a one-to-one contract!”

The voice in the front was Rachel and the voice in the back was Arsene.

Calian didn’t necessarily wonder or worry about why Arsene’s words were interrupted by a strange sound. Instead, he opened his mouth with a relaxed expression.

“You don’t have to worry so quickly. And don’t open your mouth while you’re talking. You’ll chew your tongue.”

In fact, Calian’s voice when he said that was not much different from his usual voice. The elegant Raven was still elegant even when running at high speeds.

Anyway, after going through this series of events for another two hours, the group was finally able to slow down the horse. Because Calian found what he was looking for.

The corners of Calian’s mouth curled up as he saw Gray’s energy emanating from the carriage ahead of him.

“found.”

Everyone in the group reacted differently to Calian’s voice, which was like the cry of a cat that found a mouse hiding in a crevice in the wall.

Jan took a step back and Rachel sent Hina and Veronica behind her.

Kirie, who had been running around the training ground until past midnight due to her work with them, finally realized Calian’s intentions, put her hand on the handle of her sword with a burning fighting spirit. Now, I have decided not to just tolerate it like a fool out of needless consideration for Kalian.

And Arsene began to look at what looked like the most expensive carriage next to the one he had destroyed last time.

Instead of telling his companions that they didn’t have to do that, Calian laughed for a moment.

Meanwhile, the butler said to Gray, who was barely able to tolerate the uncomfortable carriage, that tomorrow would be at Kairisis’ house, where he could comfortably stretch out and think about his sleep.

“Mr. Margin. Someone is following behind me.”

“You’re following me?”

At those words, Gray immediately pulled back the curtain behind the carriage and looked behind him, and his expression became distorted.

“Why is it that prince again? How on earth did you follow me?”

Of course, the reason was simple.

Calian’s party entered Reddington Castle and rested for three days. Afterwards, using magic to increase movement speed, they covered the four-day distance in two days. Meanwhile, Gray purchased a carriage

. So he spent one day on maintenance and ran for four days. It was the biggest reason that Calian was able to find Gray, who he could not have met.

Gray, who saw that Calian was even slightly smiling as he approached him, made a truly disgusted face. “ You said

you learned some magic, but your liver came out of your stomach.” Not

only did he have a careless personality, but he also looked down on wizards. Gray was just like the Marquis Evan Briesen.

“You wouldn’t even dream that it was me who was truly patient.”

While he was muttering these words in great delusion, Calian had almost caught up with the carriage.

Then Gray’s butler asked through the field window,

“Mr. Margrave. Shall we stop the carriage?”

Gray answered in a sharp voice.

“When the carriage stops, I feel like I’m going to twist the prince’s neck. Just ignore it and go.”

“Yes, yes.”

Startled by the very harsh expression, the butler turned again and chased the driver. Meanwhile, Calian came near Gray’s carriage. Gray remained motionless with the window curtains down. Calian wanted to go next to the carriage, so Raven gracefully made her way between the horses of the knights surrounding the carriage. Calian, who had managed to stick right next to the carriage, opened his mouth just as he was running. “The

Margrave

. “Your spoiled appearance is still the same.”

Gray, who was in the carriage, closed his eyes tightly.

He was thinking to himself that he had to keep that prince alive until he met Silike.

Calian then turned his head and looked around at Gray’s group. Bo asked,

“By the way, Margrave. There are only six of your knights. What did the remaining four knights do?”

Gray clenched the hilt of his sword.

Calian scratched his cheek.

“Ah. It wasn’t a knight anymore. I personally stripped them of their titles and forgot about them.”

The six knights’ faces hardened as they remembered the four idiots who became food for the fish living in Reddington Lake. And Calian still had a calm expression. “Then I realized that the four dogs were gonen/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

. I’m also curious about this. Have you ever wondered?”

After saying that, Calian paused for a moment and continued speaking in a very relaxed tone.

“Why did your younger brother suddenly disappear?”

In any case, Lennon was not of much help to the family, so neither was Gray. It wasn’t something I was very curious about. And didn’t the Marquis of Brissen say that? It’s probably the work of people looking for money, so we’ll have to find it gradually. Whether it’s

Lennon

or Lennon’s body.

“Actually, someone gave a lot of money to the Marquis of Brissen. There. Please clean up Lennon. Then Lennon disappeared.”

“You did. I didn’t know.”

Gray wasn’t very moved by Calian’s words.

But Calian wasn’t done talking.

“And then I started wondering.”

Gray didn’t answer.

Carly . With a leisurely smile, An continued,

“I wonder if the Marquis will also clean up the place for his eldest son, who covets the title of Marquis, in exchange for money.”

Inside Gray’s carriage, a murderous spirit bloomed.

Calian’s eyes drew a long arc after confirming the direction of the murderer’s direction.
