Chapter 375
Chapter 67. Fragrance (1)
A lot has already arrived.
The numerous knights of Balkan and Siegfried, the magicians of Balkan, Hina and Demirea. If this momentum continues, it won’t be long until Arsene is there.
The incident escalated to this extent due to Aila’s binge drinking and the actions of Calian, who happened to be outside. He appears in front of people, catches Aila, and as if that wasn’t enough, he jumps up to the roof of the building. It was truly an uproar.
Although Kalian knew that the situation was spreading too big to be considered as something that only happened for a short period of time, he was not particularly worried. To be precise, I stopped paying attention.
“You said you missed me so much. If you have anything to say, I will listen to it directly. I have the generosity to listen to that much.”
“I never thought you would show such generosity, my lord. It won’t be easy to choose what to say first.”
“Then let’s go.”
“If you put it that way, wouldn’t I be very disappointed?”
“Is there a reason why I should consider your disappointment?”
“It may not be as good as your relationship with your truly amazing brother who stands behind you. After all, aren’t you and I brothers? I believed that you would show that level of consideration.”
“…… sibling.”
“Do you find my words offensive?”
“Yeah. That’s annoying.”
I didn’t do anything and just quietly listened to their conversation.
I stood still and did not intervene.
“But isn’t it something that can’t be helped? No matter how much you deny it, you too…” ”
It means that it’s bothersome that you say what you expected. Are you not smart enough to understand the truth of what you said? .”
I don’t know how much better the younger brother’s shadow was, but there was a reason why the peas, which had grown so well, were constantly scratching Rashid.
On a dark night.
Because the moonlight was bright and the scent of flowers was strong.
Because I have no idea what to do.
“Did you see it that way?”
“It seems so.”
“Well… I had a lot of things I wanted to say, but after hearing those things from you, I don’t think it’s appropriate to bring up anything more at this time. I’m worried that I might lose my composure.”
The reason I didn’t come forward despite this situation was because I somehow felt that this time would be different. Whether that thick scent came from resignation toward Brissen’s bloodline or the belief that he was different, it was all up to me, so I left it alone because it seemed to be telling me to leave it alone. I didn’t come forward because I remembered Kirie’s words that said that’s the only way to survive.
Either pull out Planz or throw that guy off the roof. For one of the two, I suppressed my desire to do it and held back. Kalian also knew that a good adult is someone who trusts you well and lets you walk alone at times.
“But…”
But the guy interrupted.
He still silently took a step to the side. Then, looking alternately at Kalian and Plantz, who were standing behind Plantz, he slowly opened his mouth.
“There is one thing that is strange for me to leave like this, sir. Just one thing that is difficult to properly understand from my perspective. May I ask you a question?”
Calian closed his eyes for a moment and Plantz did not respond. I just let the guy’s gaze scan deep into Calian for now.
So no one was allowed to speak, but Rashid didn’t care. I said what I wanted to say without hesitation.
“Prince Calian has nothing to gain. Why did you give so much shade? I wonder if Prince Calian knows that, just like he did with the former Queen Silike, he will eventually let go of the prince’s hand. Knowing that, let’s count. “I really want to ask you if you sat on it…”
Calian opened his eyes.
* * *
Is it friendly or heartless?
Is it hard or soft?
A person who asked as if he would spit out all his breath, asking why he did something that would kill him if he wanted to live, then acted as if he never wanted to kill him, and then drove him to his death without any hesitation. When I came back alive and met him again, he had a desperate look on his face as if he had encountered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he began by saying with full sincerity that if you don’t listen to me, I will really kill you this time.
A person who seems to be endlessly affectionate, but who can cut anything off in an instant and not blink an eye. They are hard enough to believe that they can do that, but in reality, their hard shell has already melted away and they live with their red flesh exposed. A person who looked so strong on the outside was just a scar on the inside.
– are you okay?
Is it because he is the person who Kalian, who is full of contradictions, protected and made as his reason for living?
– If I say it’s not okay, will you stop?
– no.
I thought it was infinitely soft and warm, but in fact it wasn’t at all.
In contrast to the pitch-black eyes filled with worry, a firm hand pressed down hard on the area between the neck and shoulder, where the broken collarbone was bulging out of alignment.
Right now, Hina was ignoring the breakage and forcibly putting the completely distorted bone back in place due to using her arm. Even if you use the power of healing, you will only be able to heal it after you first put the bone back in place. Of course it will hurt.
– The collarbone is not a pretty bone. These are bones that help you hold something in your hand and move it around. For example, Mr. Howie. Because you no longer escort me. Something like a knife or dagger that Eila likes. But what should I do if such a bone is broken?
Words as firm as those touches flowed into Aila’s head.
Aila, who was having a hard time holding back her screams and could no longer open her mouth, closed her eyes instead of answering. Either way, Hina’s hands moved constantly.
– You shouldn’t use it.
Hina’s voice came out in a shaky voice, as if she was saying each word with force. At those words, a look of resentment filled in my eyes opened without my knowledge and turned towards Hina.
– Otherwise I would have died.
– Don’t lie.
Hina’s voice came straight through.
– You didn’t think about running away. It’s not like you were struggling to survive and ended up getting hurt. If that were the case, I wouldn’t be scolded like this. But no. Since I felt like I was going to die anyway, I just gave up everything and tried to attack at least once more and die, and this is what happened.
Instead of answering, Aila closed her eyes again.
It is true that he did not give up until the end and picked up the sword, but it was also true that he did not even think about running away to survive. If it had been like before, I would have run away somehow, but that wasn’t the case this time.
– I roughly know that Prince Calian helped Aela a lot. However, I don’t think there is a need to risk your life and try hard to repay the debt. If it gets dangerous, it’s better to run away.
Because it was not a sign language, Hina’s voice could not be avoided.
– If you die while trying to help Prince Calian, Prince Calian won’t be grateful at all. They would say that it would be better to run away somehow and come back. He’s the kind of person who doesn’t care how big of a problem it is and is glad he did well.
– …… i know.
– That’s all you need to know. Don’t do that again.
– all right.
– yes.
In response to Aila’s obedient response, Hina’s voice became much calmer.
– No matter how much it hurts now, it won’t hurt more than holding a knife and swinging it with this hand. Besides, he said he doesn’t like anesthetics. You’ve endured a lot, so just endure a little more. I’ll get better soon.
There wasn’t a single mistake from beginning to end, but there was just one thing Hina got wrong. So Aila went out of her way to explain that one thing.
– It wasn’t that I didn’t like it, I was just saying that the anesthetic wouldn’t help. Because I developed tolerance.
Hina, who had forgotten that she had scolded her just a moment ago, opened her eyes wide.
– How much medicine did you take before the anesthesia stopped working?
-……Poison. I didn’t eat it though.
I spent years with poison in my mouth.
Even though a long time has passed since you spit out the poison, the subtle poisonous energy that spread out from the medicine, which has seeped into your body over the years, does not disappear.
Of course, Aila wasn’t exposed to the poison for that long, and even if that amount of poison had been injected throughout her life, she wouldn’t have suffered any problems such as developing an illness she never had before or shortening her lifespan. However, the only side effect left was a mild symptom that the anesthetic Hina always carried with her was no longer effective.
– ah. So that’s it.
Hina wasn’t surprised after hearing Aila’s words.
I had no intention of revealing the past that someone else had worked so hard to bury and talking about what they had been through during that time. Hina is also a person who has experienced things that no one who meets her for the first time can imagine.
– But Aila is the opposite. Plants: I thought the medicine worked too well for me, so I couldn’t use the anesthetic because I was afraid it would be too strong. If there is a cure for that too, would you treat it?
– The fact that the anesthetic doesn’t work is actually a good thing for me. are you okay.
– all right. Instead, next time you get hurt like this, don’t use that arm as a sword. If all the bones are twisted, they have to be aligned and treated, but it is very painful. Of course, it would be best not to get hurt.
– I’ll try my best.
Ayla, who couldn’t promise to understand even if it was empty words, answered as positively as possible.
– Anyway, I guess I should ask Veronica to make a stronger medicine while making a weaker medicine.
Hina put her hand around Eila’s neck. A warm energy began to come into me, like when I healed a wound pierced by a dagger.
How much time has passed?
When I had almost forgotten about the pain in my neck, Hina’s hand left Eila’s.
– This should be enough to return to the palace. Go and treat it a little more properly. Still, I’m glad it didn’t get any worse thanks to the kind prince’s actions. If you go and take your medicine and eat well, you will get better soon.
Ayla looked speechless for a moment after seeing the sign language that had just been delivered. Demirea, who had been watching silently until now, opened her mouth to see what was happening, but then closed it again. Didn’t he try to say that it was Dmirea, not Calian or Eila, who stopped the bleeding from that wound?
Hina looked at the two once and pointed to the bandages and pieces of robe that had fallen on the floor. And then he moved his hand again.
– I don’t think it’s strange or doubt that a caring prince can do things that would be difficult for an ordinary prince to understand.
When I first saw the bandage that had wrapped Arsene’s shoulder so well, I was honestly a little surprised. When I saw the bandage wrapped around Planz’s shoulder in Secretia, or the knot in the tie that tied Plantz’s arm not long ago, I thought that it must have been Calian who did all of that. After seeing Aela’s skill in closing her wound this time, I thought it must have been Calian who did it again.
In fact, isn’t it a big mistake that a prince who has no business caring for other people’s wounds knows how to do such a thing skillfully? Rather, for Hina, it was more of a welcome thing rather than a strange thing. Thanks to that, I’m putting in less effort.
– If the kind prince thought I would find that strange, he wouldn’t have done it. I don’t think it’s wrong or suspicious, so it’s okay if you don’t try to hide it.
How do you know how to do that and why are you so good at it? None of that matters. Everyone has secrets, and you don’t necessarily need to know each other’s secrets to be able to trust them. The past is the past, secrets are secrets, and what’s important is now.
“All right.”
Ayla just nodded, and instead, Dmirea gave the answer.
And in the distance, the sound of horse hooves was heard again. It was the sound of Arsene, who had gone to see Lemain first, coming to visit.
At that sound, Eila turned her head and Demirea stood up. But then.
Their eyes both looked towards the rooftop at the same time.
“…… Why?”
A voice full of confusion came out of Demirea’s mouth.
There was no sign of fighting and it seemed to be quiet, so I thought he would come down soon, but an unexpected situation arose.
“Leave Siegfried’s knights as they are and go to all of the Balkans and Bern. It would be better for you to return to the palace. I think it would be better than staying here and getting caught up in the misunderstanding.”
Hina, unable to understand the sudden remark, widened her eyes, and Aila nodded.
The prince and crown prince of Kairis even led an army to attack the marquis’ son. It was better to deal with it quietly than to say that it was said. This was because I understood that the words were said with that intention.
“I understand,”
Aila briefly answered, struggling to stand up as her body seemed to be throbbing even more from the powerful force that was pouring down on her.
* * *
It was something I brought up on purpose.
I was really curious and it was also the reason why I unexpectedly lost my composure.
So I asked on purpose.
The crown prince in front of me had an expressionless face even after hearing those words. He looked at Rashid with a face that did not contain any emotions. “…Kalian,”
he called my younger brother. Then he said,
“
I’m not biting.” “Not yet.”
came the answer from behind Plantz.
Before he could even realize what that meant, Plantz moved. He took just three steps towards Rashid.
“They say my brother was patient with me. What should I do?”
Planz, who was standing in front of Rashid, raised his head. A low voice rang in his ears.
“Should I kill you right away for insulting my mother and me? Or should I ban him from setting foot in Kairis for the rest of his life? If not… should I understand?”
A sneer.
A young voice full of clear sneer came to Rashid.
“Well. It’s probably something that can’t be helped. You, too, will eventually resemble your father. Just as expected. I can’t escape at all. So, I think it would be better to feel sorry for that and understand.”
Rashid lowered his head for a moment.
Planz could not see the expression on his face. However,
– Whish!
The wind rose.
A sword with red energy fluttered. The hilt was aimed at Plantz’s neck.
Plantz did not move. He looked at the sword without even blinking. Still without any emotion in his quietly sunken eyes. –
Sarah… ..
Instead, there was the sound of light fabric shaking.
– Woooo!
– Kaaang!
At the same time, the sound of black energy swaying and the sound of a blade striking the blade was heard.
“… Anyway, my brother is so fearless . .”
Before the blade of the impatient person could rush in, Kalian blocked Planz’s path and raised a sword with a jet-black light to block the attack. Kalian looked at Rashid. With both eyes focused on Rashid, Kalyan sent his hand back. And then
. Just like Plantz did a little while ago, he made a quick sign language and sent it out.
– Were you trying to check this?
The red energy formed on Rashid’s sword.
Now that I know that he deliberately stepped forward to check it and scratched Rashid.
“Speak informally,”
Plantz continued as if he was talking to himself. In response, Calian held the sword with one hand, which was being pushed back little by little by Rashid’s strength, and once again moved his other hand. -Did you risk your neck to check
this?
“I guess you can save me by taking care of it.”
A carefree reply came out.
– Kaaaang!
A sharp sound came from the tips of the swords of those who could not endure any longer.
