Chapter 387
Chapter 69. The cat (2)
hummed from Calian’s mouth.
It’s meat.
It smells like meat.
The smell of freshly baked bread, the fresh but uninteresting smell of grass, the smell of soup full of savory scents, the smell of soft roasted onions, the smell of ripe potatoes and mushrooms, the smell of stew with tomatoes, and…meat.
The smell of beef, chicken and pork. The truly sweet smell that comes from things that have been baked, boiled, and steamed. It smells like that.
“looks delicious.”
Beyond the curtain.
After confirming that the servants who brought the breakfast had left, Kalian unconsciously hummed in excitement.
Thanks to his extraordinary talent for not being able to hide anything, even his precious face was exposed, so Plants had no more worries, so he would come on his own, and when Plants came, Arsene would definitely follow him. Moreover, more than anything, I am very hungry, so I need to eat a lot. I’m going to eat a lot. I’m going to eat a lot. So, ask for a lot of meat.
How could there not be excitement when a grand table prepared to order was placed outside that curtain?
“You need to eat a lot. Eat a lot, get well quickly, and grow up until you can look down at the pea again. It grows up so well that my father has to carry it around as well.”
Half a very hungry Kalyan and half a well-done Bern.
I couldn’t tell if it was an actual melody that came from the beautiful blending of complex personalities, and the tune of the song floated above the bed, making me wonder if it was really okay for him to do something like this at his current size.
Below article. It doesn’t matter what you think. The only person in the empty room filled with delicious smells was Kalyan.
Calian picked up the water cup placed next to the bed, took a sip, put it down, and stretched.
– Sweet.
Just then the door opened.
Calian grinned and slightly removed the blanket covering his knees. And I opened my mouth to say something like ‘Are you here?’ however.
– Cry! Come on!
There was a light sound of curtains opening and closing.
Instead of the pale, bluish color I was expecting, my eyes caught my eye on hair the color of chocolate, which was cozy and sweet, but also bitter at the same time.
The pretty smile that was on Calian’s lips was filled with embarrassment and embarrassment.
“……Arianne?”
“It’s a surprise. I almost hugged you because I thought it was our royal highness.”
Arianne, who casually gave her first impression, sat down on the bed instead of the chair next to the bed. One corner of the soft, soft bed was slightly tilted.
“I came here because I heard you were injured. Lord Manasil brought me here and told me not to be alarmed.”
Arianne, who was sitting at Calian’s feet, fell silent for a moment. I looked into ice knife-like eyes that looked like Chase’s but couldn’t possibly be Chase’s.
Arianne, who had been looking at the alone time there for a long time, let out a quiet voice.
“This is what my friend looks like.”
He just said he was happy to meet you.
– Sreuk.
Bern bowed his head.
He raised his hand and covered his face. I closed my eyes for a moment.
Ayla’s long hair, which she had tied up, fell down in front of her shoulders.
“huh.”
To protect the newly acquired things.
Because I decided to bury what I had already lost.
That’s because it’s a bit lonely.
“It was like that, Arianne.”
Bern’s low, breathy answer reached Arianne. Arianne, with a soft smile, patted Calian’s leg, which was covered by the blanket she had tried to clean up.
“Thanks to Lord Manasil, I got here quickly, so I only had more time in Kairisis. Lord Castrin is not a very interesting person, so I’m bored. There aren’t many people here to play with me. So please keep playing with me this time too. Yes. “I’ll introduce you to that wonderful fiancé, show you the palace, which is so spacious, and take you to the street where you said you had an accident. Go to the forest you boasted about and have a drink. Do that.”
That was Arianne’s answer.
I didn’t ask to talk about past events. Arianne did not ask to tell about things that only Verne remembered.
Instead, he asked me to tell him about the new things I learned along the way. We decided to stay together and become closer.
“Play with me, Kalyan.”
“Yes. Do that.”
Calian smiled slightly and nodded.
* * *
I couldn’t fall asleep until the night was over.
I stayed up all night with my eyes open until the moon set, the darkness dispersed, and the sun rose. The liquor that I had poured in the middle of the night remains intact and begins to catch the pouring sunlight.
-Your brother. Do you know what your sister said to me today? Not us. Do you know what you did to my son?
– Do I even need to know that?
– That woman asked me to be her maid. He said that if I do that, he will let me stay in the capital. How dare you do this to me?
– Even though I told you that I had already been to the palace, you were the one who took the child with you and went there on your own. Why did you think that if you took a child the prince’s age, they would call us back to Kairisis out of pity for the child? Did you go to Silike expecting such warmth?
– Warmth! Do you even know such a thing? no. At least I thought she wouldn’t be able to treat me badly. But he said that. Then he called the prince and placed my son in front of him. He told me to be polite to the prince who made me look like a doll. I told my son to lower his eyes, kneel down, bow his head, and show respect. Your father will do the same someday, so bend down first. Lie down at my feet and learn how to survive. He said something like that. That woman!
Is it because I feel sleepy or because my mind is empty?
Recollections that come to mind without knowing why spread like a dream.
– I’m going back to my mother. I don’t want to stay in a country like this under the thumb of such a woman even for one more moment. Rashid knows that because I will take him with me. I wouldn’t be interested anyway.
– ……Selena.
– Go get that girl. What did your brother do to the former queen? What did you give to your concubine? I’ll reveal everything. I will tell you everything in detail.
– Selena.
– So wait. Neither that woman nor you are useless. I will bring down all of Brisen.
After a long recollection, Gray finally frowned and stood up.
“I guess you’ve been thinking a lot, Marquis. Seeing as you couldn’t leave here all night.”
But someone’s voice caught Gray’s attention.
The face that was already frowning became a little more wrinkled. Rashid, who must have seen his displeased face but didn’t seem to care at all, shrugged his shoulders.
“Why did you have so many thoughts that you didn’t know that I had to come all the way here?”
Gray didn’t answer. Rashid, who must have been waiting for an answer, moved his feet as if it didn’t matter. And then Gray strode into the study where he had been spending the night.
“Didn’t I tell you to go back? Why are you still here?”
“I guess you forgot.”
Tap, tap, tap.
“This is Marquis Briesen… Coincidentally, my last name is also Marquis Briesen.”
Tap, tap, tap.
“In this country.”
Rashid said quietly and sat down opposite Gray, who had just stood up. Then, he hit the table between him and Gray with his palm.
As if commanding him to sit down again.
– Drurk!
Gray, who was looking at this in horror, pushed back the chair that was touching the back of his knees. Then, as if he had nothing to say with Rashid, he passed the table and moved toward the outside of the study.
Rashid then opened his mouth without even turning his head towards Gray.
“What did you discuss when you met the nobles who follow the Marquis? At Naerangsha.”
“There is no longer any reason for me to report such a thing to you.”
“Why are you saying such awkward things between us? Think of it as a discussion.”
“How can you not have an awkward relationship with a son who sets a trap to catch his father?”
“Isn’t this a good enough relationship to be a perfect fit for this Brisen?”
Rashid, who responded like this, let out a satisfied laugh as if he really liked my question.
Gray stopped walking out of the study and turned around. And he gave his answer through clenched teeth.
“In the end, didn’t you come looking for me with the goal of my head?”
“Don’t say nonsense.”
Rashid responded in a light voice, as if he was fluttering, and twisted his waist. Then he looked at Gray, who was staring at the back of his head, and smiled.
“Do you think I would have come all this way just to get the Marquis’ head?”
“For someone who used to tremble at a few words from guys younger than me, I’m sure he’ll be able to get something bigger than my neck very well.”
“Buddy! Yes, that’s true. I couldn’t stand it when you lumped me into the same family, so I stopped being honest. But it doesn’t matter, right? If you think about it, who in the world would tolerate that?”
A sneer appeared on Gray’s face.
Rashid turned his back again as if he didn’t care and picked up the glass of alcohol that Gray had poured for him last night and had not even touched.
Chullang challang.
Brown liquor, which closely resembles Rashid’s hair color, shakes dizzyingly in the glass. Rashid stared at the scene for a while, and then a happy voice came out of his mouth.
“Regardless of what happened in the past. Will my sword cut through the Marquis’s heart or his throat while he sleeps? It’s okay to not waste the night worrying about such things. Since I’ve already been caught once, I can’t aim for the Marquis’ life for the time being. That’s right.”
Chullang challang.
Rashid, who deliberately stirred up the sinking movement once more, burst into laughter. I couldn’t hide my laughter as I remembered the snake-like guy who smelled the same as me and looked down at me with the same eyes.
“If the Marquis is found dead somewhere… That prince and the Crown Prince who was kept in his arms will try to make me a criminal in some way. If I want to protect my own safety, shouldn’t I also protect the Marquis’ safety for the time being? ? It may be cumbersome, annoying, and useless, but it is said that unavoidable things keep happening in life.”
Ah, how did I make such a mistake?
Rashid muttered to himself and brought the glass in his hand to his mouth. And Gray drank what he couldn’t drink in one gulp.
Something spicy and strong burns my throat.
Rashid closed his eyes for a moment and raised his head, feeling overwhelmed. And I thoroughly enjoyed the strong energy of Himolica flowing down my throat.
“Stop talking nonsense and go back to your mother right away. There’s no need.”
“Let’s get along well instead of giving in to each other. I will protect you without any problems.”
– Percussion!
– Drurk!
Rashid put down his empty glass and stood up.
Then he turned around and walked steadily towards where Gray was heading. I walked past Gray. I opened the door leading out of the study.
“…… father.”
Rashid, who threw out his sarcasm-filled words, stepped out the door.
– Boom!
The door was closed violently.
He then walked down the long hallway and continued to move towards his room where he would be staying for the time being.
The sound of an excited hum echoed through the hallway and then disappeared.
* * *
He said he would eat a lot.
There was really a lot set out.
My younger brother, who is good at using magic and using a sword, is so good at handling his small body. Planz, who was already full just by looking at it, put down his fork and knife with a tired look on his face.
“Eat more, you’re light green.”
I listened quietly again.
Arsene laughed at that and put a spoonful of boiled egg into his mouth. And I briefly saw Calian, who looked unfamiliar but not unpleasant.
Meanwhile, the words of a co-worker sitting next to me resonate in the room.
“Why did the lady from the next country come so quickly?”
“You don’t like it? Are you uncomfortable with me?”
“… No. I’m just asking because I’m curious.”
“Wow, sir. Do you even know how to ask questions?”
I opened my mouth for no reason.
I couldn’t put any more meat in my mouth, so I just spit out the words, but it was mountains beyond mountains. I started talking for no reason.
“I was injured, and Zeon appeared in the capital again. Anyone who wants to know who I look like would not know, and Baron Briesen would know as well. Just in case, he might wonder why I changed into a face that resembles the king of Secretia. “Then, I’m afraid you might be interested in the king’s fiancé, who is visiting Cairisis. It is said that Master brought you here immediately to borrow Lord Castrine’s sword and to take care of Arianne’s well-being.”
Kalian rescued Plantz, who was caught in Arianne’s barrage of questions. Thanks to this, Plantz took a moment to catch his breath and placed his hand on a glass full of strawberry juice.
“Anyway, brother. You can no longer hold back your curiosity and ask questions. You probably don’t know how proud I am of watching you.”
It seems that the snake inside is not a poisonous snake but a snake snake.
I don’t know that he probably couldn’t get used to the changed face and was barking more out of fear of thinking about something else, but he still couldn’t be happy about it, so Plantz frowned. In the meantime, I couldn’t tell my little brother that he was barking again because there were so many eyes watching me, so I frowned more than usual.
“You just ask questions? You talk so much all day when we’re together that my office is always noisy these days.”
“The blue-haired wizard is calling the wizards and scolding them instead of you.”
“Anyway, isn’t a word a word?”
Calian, who was always watching my baby grow up well, nodded to himself. I thought that would be the case, but I thought Planz and Arsene were always on good terms.
Well, that’s why we came together to Secretia holding hands.
Looking at Calian, who had such a sincere and rewarding face, Arsene spoke in a cautious voice.
“By the way, prince.”
“Yes. Talk to me, Lord Hertz.”
“I’ve preserved my current appearance well so that you can recognize me well even if I see you in my dreams.”
“Yes. No.”
“I haven’t even said anything to ask for a favor yet.”
“I’m glad I didn’t take it out, so I’m putting it in. Before I forget and get scared even when I see it in my dreams.”
“Yes. I’ll put it in.”
The person smiled softly and nodded, and his light purple eyes turned to Arianne. Not only the eyes but also the soft voice were spoken along with soft words.
“Did you say hello to His Majesty?”
“Just a quick hello. We’ll meet again during the day.”
“Okay. Then what about Lord Castrin?”
“I will be with Lord Manasil now.”
Plantz quenched his thirst with strawberry juice without any reaction to this story. Instead, Arsene looked at Planz with eyes full of questions.
“The knight is here too.”
“I didn’t know.”
“I talked about it when you were a wizard.”
“But why don’t I know?”
That’s right.
When we had that conversation, I was drinking four beers and freezing shrimp at a cod grill restaurant in the Siegfried Duchy.
How do I convey these words?
Plantz thought for a moment.
“That’s it, Lord Hertz.”
A voice came from Calian’s side.
I looked at Arsene with a playful face. And then I opened my mouth to continue my conversation. however.
– Kwaaaaang!
A huge explosion sounded.
Grumbling. The dishes placed on the table make a loud noise. The window vibrates and shakes.
Arsene stood up. Arianne looked surprised.
Planz, who was about to turn his head in the direction where the epicenter of the binge drinking was, looked ahead with sharp eyes. It was directed at Calian, who had already woken up a long time ago.
“Calian.”
“This is Kirie. Let’s go.”
The window opens.
A gentle breeze blows into the white room.
– Tuk!
A thin bracelet was thrown onto the spot where Calian had been sitting just a moment ago.
When Plantz stood up to stop Kalian.
Calian had already disappeared out the open window.
Plantz stretched out his hand and picked up the bracelet, his eyes hardening.
“…… why.”
Why on earth are all my little brother’s followers making such a fuss and calling out for my younger brother? My younger brother was so impatient that he took off his communication bracelet and left, thinking it was a magic bracelet for disguise.
That’s more than anything else.
My brother hasn’t finished breakfast yet.
It had such a deep meaning.
