Chapter 408
Chapter 73. Just a moment, brother (1)
A light brown car.
A tea that has no special taste, but has a refreshing scent that seems to cleanse everything inside the body. Mint tea was placed in front.
Now, he is a person who is good at guessing the correct answers to his sons’ preferences. Calian bowed his head to Lemain as if he were grateful and took a sip of the mint tea in front of him.
– Sweet.
Then, after putting down the teacup, he looked out the window.
The appearance of the mountains surrounded by layers is unfamiliar. There were not many mountains in Secretia, and there were no mountains in Kairisis either. There was no mountain this high outside the outer walls. So it was unfamiliar.
Calian, who had spread the word throughout Astricia Street that night, received new clothes that he barely made in time, met Arianne, and told her that Demirea and Lili were also staying at Rubia’s pavilion today. After saying a very awkward hello to Lyrie and chatting with Dmirea for a while, I left Chermil Palace.
And instead of going to Seneu Pavilion, where nobles would gather, he went to Arpia Palace. I went to Alan first.
“I don’t think I’ll have time to finish the tea. I’m sorry, Your Highness.”
“… Yes. Looks like you’re going to be busy.”
Schrinz.
To get to where Lemain is.
Calian took out his pocket watch, checked the time in a gesture that would not be rude, and then opened his mouth. If it only takes about ten minutes, you should be able to have a sufficient conversation.
“I am disappointed in your Majesty.”
Blue eyes that were very similar to Randel’s, but not at all similar, turned to Calian. I looked at Calian without saying another word. As if waiting for an explanation.
“It will be considered that way.”
“Did you wear those clothes to make the nobles think that way?”
“That’s right.”
“If you step forward like that… I will never put you on the throne. The nobles will think that way. Is that what you had in mind?”
“I’m expecting it.”
Just as Calian was greedy for the throne, but was betrayed by Lemain, as if he had a falling out with Lemain, drove Lemain into a villa and brought more of his knights into the palace. I tried to look like that.
Because Lemain was not alone in Schrinz.
Because Slayman Horn Siegfried is with you.
If they found out who Lemain accompanied him, he would be remembered by the nobles. Since it was related to the wise king, everyone would keep quiet and bury it, and wouldn’t there be a mastermind behind the incident that has not yet been recorded anywhere?
A person who rebelled against the royal family established by the previous king. Therefore, he was the one who took up the sword himself after conciliating the royal knights. A person who took the life of a sick king with his own hands and pointed a knife at Lemain. However, he was pushed out by Lemain, who held Briesen’s hand, and his close friend Sleiman did not help him, so he was the instigator of a brief rebellion that ended up being a one-night dream. LeMaine’s only brother, still imprisoned in the tower, is receiving a punishment worse than death in return.
– Asnan Sail Khairis.
You will definitely think of him.
Lemain, who had experienced something like that, would have thought that there was no way he would allow Calian to do something like this. Even though he regained his throne to some extent thanks to Kalian, that does not absolve him of all his actions.
Moreover, if Lemain supports Planz, it is obvious that Balkan’s power will also go to Lemain. It was thought that Kalyan would be isolated. Most people don’t even know how much power Alan Manasil possesses. Because excessively strong power reduces the sense of reality.
“I acted as if I was coveting the crown prince, and in fact, I was distancing myself from the crown prince. I want it to look like that. So after making the nobles turn their attention to Brother Plants and making sure that no other word is said even if there is no official investiture ceremony. The Marquis of Briesen and the Baron. “After I get bitten, I want you to tell me to move my residence to Camilon. I have come to ask you that.”
“Are you trying to give us room to postpone the investiture ceremony?”
“Yes. The name-only position is already sufficient, so that nothing more than that is handed over. I hope so.”
Lemain let out a long, silent sigh at Calian’s words and nodded.
“I will do that. It won’t be difficult.”
“thank you.”
Just like handing over pocket money that a child asked for, or promising a small gift that he or she wanted. With a calm face, he promised to marry the crown prince.
“I’m just curious about the reason for this sudden move.”
“I didn’t plan on doing this at first.”
“Yes. We will all come to Shurinz together. That was all.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“But why?”
It seems like the nightmare is deeper than I thought.
Calian, who had swallowed the words he could not convey to Lemain, opened his mouth.
“It was because I thought it would be a good opportunity to put to rest the nobleman’s talk about the crown prince and look into Baron Briesen’s intentions.”
“Is that why you are in a hurry?”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
Rashid Briesen.
“It bothers me. It bothers me not because it attacked me, but because I can’t see anything. So I thought, since something like this has happened, maybe we can look into the speed of it.”
“okay.”
Rashid learned exactly what Kalian’s weaknesses were. In the end, it was Calian who had more restrictions on his actions, who always had to be careful, who could not take out his sword hastily, and who had less information about the opponent.
Kalyan did not know about Rashid. I guessed what Rashid wanted, but I wasn’t sure. What exactly are you trying to achieve and what are your weaknesses? Are you planning on having Briseen or are you planning on completely destroying Briseen? If you plan to do something, when will you do it? I couldn’t figure out anything. I had to deal with Rashid without knowing that. It was disadvantageous.
So, on their way to Shurinz to meet Lemain, they tried to vacate the palace under the pretense of enjoying a vacation together for the first and last time before Randel turns 20 and the princes except the Crown Prince leave the palace. I wanted to see how Rashid would act at that time. Unless he encourages Gray to stay quiet and use this as an opportunity.
“Perhaps Baron Briesen will use this as an opportunity to attack Balkan and Master. I have some hopes for that.”
There is no way Rashid Briesen would not know how strong Allen is. Nevertheless, he felt free to get angry with Alan in front of him. This means there is a way to prepare for Allen. In order to get rid of Calian, Alan has to disappear from the world first, so he will approach Alan somehow, whether by pretending that Alan rebelled while everyone else is away, attacking Alan directly, or trying to appease him. That’s what I thought.
“And then what if something really goes wrong? I don’t know if it’s okay to create an empty space so easily.”
“No matter what Baron Briesen has hidden, it is not Master who will actually be harmed. At least as long as I live, there is nothing in the world that can defeat Master. That is why I thought I would put the palace, Vulcan, and Master as bait for a while.”
“Is there any need to be so hasty in being wary of Baron Briesen? Rushing to act is usually only toxic.”
“There isn’t much time… Your Highness.”
I don’t have time to waste getting distracted by things like Rashid.
We had to properly figure out Zeon’s identity before Serenti woke up. Tensil’s business had to be resolved. I had to build strength.
“Brother Randel will soon turn 20. If he does not become crown prince, the time will come when he will have to leave the palace. Brother Plantz and I will soon reach that age as well. If we leave Brissen alone and leave an unknown force that is even more distant than Brissen, there will come a time when someone will leave the palace. “Someone receives the title of crown prince and someone is forced to leave the palace… Shouldn’t that happen? There is no greater poison than that.”
How do you not know that it is poison?
Lemain nodded very slowly.
“I understand what you mean. Just Kalian.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“I understand what you said about rushing because there is no time, but I am worried about you. If they think you are fighting against me, how will the nobles change their attitude?”
“No one can point a sword at you, brother.”
Calian said as if he were confident.
And there was one more plan other than visiting Shurinz. This explained another reason for wearing fake clothes that mimicked the crown prince’s livery.
“If Baron Briesen finds out that I have shown my greed for the Crown Prince, he will take care of persuading the Marquis Briesen to take Brother Planz’s hand. That way, the Marquis Briesen will destroy himself.”
“Are you saying that Baron Briesen knows that the crown given to Plantes is not real?”
“Yes. Unlike the other nobles, I think only Baron Briesen knows. He must have recognized me when he fought with me on the streets of Naeranchat, and he must have been convinced when we ran into him at the Marquis Briesen’s residence. Brother Plants will ascend to the throne. “I have no thoughts and the place will eventually be mine. That’s it.”
“Then… I think Plantz wants to ensure safety by carrying Briesen on his back.”
“It’s contradictory, but yes.”
With Rashid’s hand, Plantz is placed on Brisen’s back.
If that happens, the forces supporting Plants will increase even more. It was thought that the crown prince’s position was no different from being confirmed.
Nevertheless, you will no longer hear stories of how he ascended to the crown by taking Briesen’s hand, forgetting his younger brother’s help ‘because he resembled Briseen’ or ‘like Briseen.’ The moment Kalyan reveals his greed for the crown prince, the positions of the perpetrator and the victim will be reversed.
“Do you really think that once Plantz gains the power of Brisen, hasty tricks will disappear? Rather, those who follow you may let go of your hand and isolate you, or they may point a sword at Plantz, saying they will help you.”
“The only person I owe is your highness.”
“It’s just me… this needs an explanation.”
“I plan to continue appearing in front of the nobles with my brother. I plan to act like an incomprehensibly greedy person who wants to steal your crown while still trying to be a good brother. So, Your Highness.”
Calian laughed.
“No one dares point a sword at your brother.”
Whether it is the blade at the end of the sword.
Or maybe a blade on the tip of the tongue.
“Then what do you think they will do to you?”
Tick tock tick tock.
Instead of answering, Lemain caught sight of the golden pocket watch he took out.
It was an action that signaled the end of the conversation.
* * *
Black Diamond.
More than 80% of those produced are black diamonds with flaws. Therefore, it is a precious gem and it is not easy to find flawless product quality. It was surrounded by a frame and a large ruby was placed in the very center. It was a ruby that belonged to the first class among the best, with a bright red color that seemed to prove its life. It was a pair of cuffs made from it.
in short.
It is said to be an extremely rare and expensive accessory.
In other words.
It means that the thing shining brightly on your sleeve is mine.
It is literally a precious accessory that was made by handing the jewels specially obtained from Fallun merchant Melfir to Shatin, the costume manager. I made this to replace the two older brothers who tried to block my younger brother’s birthday present from Secretia by saying that I would take care of it myself on my birthday.
He had no interest in jewels at all, but he liked that one item so much that he did not leave it in the valuables storage room at Chermil Palace. I kept it in my room along with Raven’s ruby necklace.
It was so precious that I didn’t plan on going to the grand banquet for the King’s Birthday. I was planning on wearing it for the first time to my birthday celebration. This is not to say that it was made to brighten up the sleeves of a crazy person who comes to the conference hall in broad daylight and takes off his clothes first, as if he had been drinking during the day, which he was not used to doing on a day like this.
“I guess the closure of the cloak wasn’t tight enough.”
Calian, with a bright smile on his face, spoke. Then, with a light movement, he moved his feet and went down to the bottom of the conference room. I slowly walked towards Plants with my eyes slightly lowered. He turned his back on the nobles and turned to face Plantz, who was standing in front of them.
And for a moment, I played with my hands, which were hidden by Plantz’s body and would not be visible to others. Made up a short sentence.
He arbitrarily entered an unoccupied room, took out his brother’s accessories and used them, and without knowing what this place was for, he barged in, threw away the emerald brooch, took off his cloak, and came dressed in the true crown prince’s uniform, which was only a different color from Calian’s. I’m going to take it off and put it down here.
He reprimanded him for all his actions.
– it’s crazy?
Because I’m in a hurry.
Is there a bird that deserves respect?
“Is that all there is?”
Is it true that the only thing that is not sturdy is the cloak fastening?
And I wonder how crazy it could have been.
Plantz answered both questions by mouth and hand. The red eyes that listened to those words slowly closed and opened. And laughed.
– article.
If you don’t stay quiet, I’ll swear my knighthood right here and there. I ended up laughing because I understood the short words delivered by hand so well that it was shocking.
I’m still afraid that might be the case, but I don’t think I’ll be able to fall asleep due to the sleep-like magic, so I don’t know if he knows that thanks to him, he’s come to stand right in front of Plants. You may or may not know that if you show even the slightest sign of bending your knees, your younger brother’s hand will move first to ‘make you less smart’.
“I hope there are no more loose ends.”
“Me too.”
“yes.”
“And your highness too.”
A word added so that its meaning is unknown. Because of this, Kalian almost said, ‘Yes?’ Calian, who managed to keep his mouth shut, looked at Plantz’s face.
Plantz, who mentioned Lemain in a carefree voice, turned around.
And, still standing in the conference hall, he drew Planz’s clothes, the emerald brooch that was scattered unsightly on the marble floor, the cloak that had fallen on the floor, and stood towards the nobles who were looking at Calian.
Then, looking at all the scattered eyes focused on him, he spoke slowly.
“He left like this, believing that everything would be solid. Unfortunately… there is something else that is not solid. Just as you were concerned.”
Calian lowered his eyes further.
I focused all my attention on my sense of smell.
It doesn’t smell like alcohol. Without even drinking, he burst into the conference hall in broad daylight, untied my cloak, threw it away, and made an inexplicable noise, saying that my younger brother was concerned about something.
“Isn’t that so, brother?”
“… Yes. Sadly.”
At first, I put my heart on the line, but now I decided to watch this amazing blackmailer who was threatening to hit my knee once, but I was really excited.
And I gave an answer to something I couldn’t understand at all. My brother and you came in as you please on the board I laid out, so I don’t know. Do whatever you want, whether it’s taking off your clothes or not talking.
They say they’ll kneel down if you don’t stay still, so what can you do?
I should leave it alone.
“Your Majesty trusts me and is resting. Those who came to the palace saw my brother like this.”
No, it looks like this.
I loved it so much, even though I was worried that Sir Slake would be in trouble for making this outfit. He also complimented me saying that Merlin was really pretty.
Brother, you are really great.
“Even though you saw it all, you just keep your mouth shut.”
Plantz, who seemed uninterested in Calian’s complaints, continued speaking.
Anyway, when I got involved with Kalian, I started talking a lot, so I thought to myself that he was a really tired younger brother.
“Your Majesty’s decision to put me on the throne and his faith in me will never be strong. I heard my brother’s concerns with one ear and only let them out… Even when my brother said he would prove it, I was very worried. “I didn’t do it, but now I see this soft side with my own eyes.”
– Jump and jump.
Planz took a step towards the nobles.
“It’s devastating.”
Calian’s eyes lowered a little more.
I looked down with one eye that was almost closed. The tips of the hands hanging down towards the floor move long. A round arc was drawn.
A well-grown pea suddenly came and stood in front of the nobles and said, ‘My brother personally prepared a test to show you what you think of me and your majesty, but you all passed.’ He was saying this. He said he would somehow resolve what Kalyan had done. I smiled when I saw him trying so hard.
– Tap, tap, tap.
After a while, Kalian took a step.
I walked while feeling the gaze of the nobles who were speechless.
And then I bent down. I stretched out my arms.
– Sreuk.
I picked up the black cloak that had fallen on the floor. I picked up the royal belongings with my own hands so that they did not lie on the floor. I handed it to one of the servants who noticed and hurried over.
I picked up the emerald brooch that had fallen together.
I took another step while holding the brooch in my hand.
“If you confirmed it, that’s it.”
There was no way Plantz could not have guessed what Lemain was also worried about. Calian didn’t know that he had come to stop his short-tempered younger brother, who was trying to push all the nobles who sided with Calian towards Plantz.
“So don’t be angry anymore.”
They did not overturn Plantz’s explanation that it was just a play to be greedy over the crown prince. Rashid would find this situation amusing and make good judgments, so he decided not to be greedy about the nobles any further.
but.
– Tap, tap, tap.
It was clear that the Crown Prince’s words, which seemed to go beyond the trust of the nobles and even ask for their loyalty, were offensive to their ears. Don’t do that so that you don’t feel any resistance.
Instead of the black cloak that was touching the floor, he placed his hand on his own cloak.
– Tuk.
The fastening decoration was undone.
He held a red cloak in his hand. He placed it directly around Plantz’s shoulder.
Chase, who gave back the sea that he had already gifted, and Plants, who returned the gift he had received. Just as the two older brothers tried to block the gift, they repeated what happened when they covered Chase with a cloak.
Because Kalian is the younger brother of the two, there is nothing he can do about it.
– click.
Instead of the emeralds scattered on the floor, she fixed her cloak with the black diamond brooch she was wearing.
For now, just treat what you brought as a set and just use it yourself. With such a tearful heart.
Plantz, who was watching what Calian was doing, let out a low voice.
“you.”
“… You are there. Just.”
Calian interrupted Plantz with a low voice and took a step back. And then he played with his hands again.
Tap, tap, tap.
I unbuttoned the fake crown prince’s uniform that had been fastened tightly. He took off the colorful jacket that did not yet belong to Kalian. He threw it down in front of the nobles.
– Howling!
The black jacket catches fire.
The royal belongings that could not be rolled around on the floor disappeared in a fire. The nobles took a deep breath as it seemed as if the fire would engulf them.
Calian took his eyes off the scene and looked at Planz. And.
“See you later.”
Deep down.
I bowed and said hello.
