Chapter 75
Chapter 15. Let me ask you just one question (6)
Margrave Gray Brisen sat up with difficulty.
And I opened the letter that said it had been sent to Jeon Seo-gu.
The butler looked thrilled when he saw Gray sit up on his own. It was because of the satisfaction that he had accomplished something truly great.
The butler was very thankful that Gray, who had broken his back due to Calian’s beating, was sitting like this. Thanks to his quick action, the butler was able to receive a very large sum of money from Gray.
So, about a week ago.
The butler who put the dying Gray in the carriage first checked to see if there was a healer nearby. And I managed to hear that a Tensil healer was staying at Reddington Castle.
The butler traveled that way for two days and arrived at Reddington Castle. Afterwards, he met Malcolm Chetish, a priest who was in charge of managing the Reddington estate.
“This is Margrave Gray Briesen, the eldest son of Marquess Briesen. You can pay as much money as you want, so please treat him.”
At that time, Malcolm was handing over the handover to the new manager of the estate, who would replace Count Hale Latran, who had been caught and arrested by Calian. Because of that, I had been putting off returning to Tensil for a while.
The name ‘Calian’ kept coming out of Gray’s mouth as he lost consciousness. Thanks to this, I was able to understand Malcolm’s situation.
‘It was Prince Calian who made this person look like this!’
Called.
After hearing that there was a healer, Gray came to his senses to some extent and said this to Malcolm, who was looking at him with strange eyes.
“Unconditionally, fix the power supply first. Absolutely!”
After hearing Gray’s words, Malcolm thought for a moment.
Should Hale, whose teeth are grinding even when she meets him in her dreams, listen to the request of the Briesen family she likes so much?
Or should I take the side of Calian, who freed me from Hale and even wrote a long letter that saved my life in Tensil?
The worry didn’t last long, and Malcolm soon began to heal.
The damaged tissue of the Danjeon was allowed to heal without being reattached.
So that even if Gray meets any other healer in the future, he will never be able to heal.
Instead, I tied my waist up enough to stand up and walk. Of course, it didn’t heal completely enough for me to be able to hold the sword again.
Gray was half healed, but he returned as a maroon with a body that was difficult to lift the sword again. And Malcolm, who returned the favor well without Calian’s knowledge, quickly completed the handover and departed for Tensil.
Anyway, after going through that process, Gray sat up on his own, opened the letter, and suddenly started shaking all over.
Because it was a letter from Calian.
‘Are you even trying to threaten me so I don’t forget!’
The body reacted before reason.
Wounds that have already healed hurt again.
What I held in my hand was only a few short sentences from Jeon Seo-gu’s side. But Gray couldn’t even look at it properly. And only after a long time had passed, I was finally able to read the contents of the letter.
Soon Gray’s expression began to change little by little.
This is because the letter Calian sent was not a simple threat.
– Lennon is not dead or missing. He is completely confined in the basement of the Marquis’ mansion. If the Marquis dies and Lennon is brought back, who would Sillike want to give the title to, you or Lennon?
Gray also knew well that Sillike had called him because Lennon, whom he had used like a hand and foot, had disappeared.
– Soon a man from Silice will come to you. Behave well.
Even if he got better and was able to dream of revenge on Calian, that would be in the very distant future. So right now, it was more important not to die at the hands of Silike, Lennon, or Marquess Evan Brissen.
In the end, Gray gritted his teeth and called the butler.
It was to check whether Kalian’s words were true.

When you realize that it is a fight between grown adults, there is actually nothing special about it.
If one side touches it and the other side can’t stand it, it becomes a fight.
In other words, the fight arose because Alan touched him and Evan couldn’t stand it.
“What did you just say, wizard?”
……Like this.
Of course, Alan didn’t touch Evan from the beginning.
Anyway, Alan wasn’t that rude of a greeting.
So, let me explain how this happened.
When Alan woke up that morning, he drank a cup of coffee. And after roughly confirming that Arsene, who had no intention of waking up, was alive or dead, I left the house with Rachel, being sent off by Veronica.
Currently, at the royal palace, work is in full swing to remodel the Wilhelm Pavilion, the building used by Knight Templar Pavel, to suit wizards. Therefore, as soon as Rachel arrived at the palace, she went straight to Wilhelm’s pavilion. And Alan stopped by the Arpia Palace and had breakfast with Lemain.
‘Prince Calian said that it might be a good idea to put a little more pressure on Marquis Briesen at this time.’
‘okay. We are already planning to search the Marquis’ mansion today. By the way, is Lord Hertz okay?’
‘You don’t have to worry because you are alive and well as if you were dead.’
The story went roughly like this.
Afterwards, Alan went to Chermil Palace to see Calian.
And at the entrance, I ran into Evan, who had come to see Plants.
Of course, it was their second time meeting. However, because the first meeting took place in secret, Alan said his first greeting again.
“This is Alan Manasil.”
Evan glared at Alan for a moment and said his name with a face that looked like he was chewing something and spitting it out.
“Evan Briesen.”
Alan smiled and nodded at those words.
After that, Evan opened his mouth to Alan, who cautiously stepped aside to tell us to go our separate ways.
“One of your subordinates has disappeared, but you look so carefree.”
While he was having a hard time because of the disappearance of Alan’s subordinate, he felt jealous because he didn’t seem to have much to worry about.
But Alan, hearing those words, was also not comfortable. Regardless of who ordered it, Evan’s knights ultimately attacked Arsene.
Even though Arsene came back unharmed and was eating Alan’s duck egg, it was clear that he had received a preemptive attack from Briesen.
“The Marquis, who is said to have had ten of his subordinates die, looks very carefree.”
Therefore, this unpleasant response came out of Alan’s mouth.
Evan was silent for a moment.
Alan glanced at Evan clenching his fist and then spoke calmly.
“If my subordinate came back dead like that, I would take care of the funeral right away rather than coming to the palace so easily. Isn’t it the duty of my superior to know why he died?”
Evan, who suddenly became someone who couldn’t even act as a superior, started yelling at Alan. And then he opened his mouth again.
“Who are you trying to teach now? Are you really acting so arrogantly in front of His Highness?”
Of course, he behaves more arrogantly in front of Lemain.
“It is not the area for the Marquis to meddle. Please stay within the line.”
In Kairis, Alan is no different from a commoner. Nevertheless, Alan was treated as a central nobleman or better because of his ability.
The fact that Alan did not agree with even a single word of Evan’s words kept breaking Evan’s sense of reason. Evan clearly revealed his twisted feelings.
“I can never trust your insight when you have such a man by your side.”
And Evan continued speaking while looking blatantly at the place where Chermil Palace was located.
“He is said to be his teacher and his disciple, so it is worth knowing the character of the three princes.”
Alan let out a short laugh.
Now that not only Lemain but also Calian were in that mouth, Alan’s mouth, which he had been holding back for some time, was completely released.
“It would be more trustworthy than a knight family that attacked only one wizard and had ten of its elite knights die.”
What Alan just mentioned was the most humiliating part for Evan right now. Alan, who stabbed it, continued to open his mouth.
“But I heard that the way the bodies were lying down looked like they had died while running away in all directions.”
Alan’s eyes slowly swept down and up from Evan’s head to toes.
“You said you were the disciple of the master. I think I know the level of the Marquis’ sword skills.”
For a moment, the murderous look in Evan’s eyes rose and then subsided.
Evan spoke in a voice that he could barely control.
“You’ll have to be very careful with that mouth, wizard.”
“You should be careful with the Marquis’s sword. Even the gangsters on Naeransha Street don’t kidnap people for money. It’s because they’re embarrassed.”
If you do it, you are a gangster.
“Shut up!”
Calian said, In the mouth of Alan Manasil, be the glory of Serenti. If I had been told to shut up, would I have said that?
Alan opened his mouth again with a clear sneer on his lips.
“So how much did you get paid this time?”
Alan, who asked that question, added one word.
Very quietly but clearly.
“Of course, I wouldn’t have received more than that day.”
– Than the day you sold your child.
Alan’s eyes were saying this.
The corners of Evan’s eyes trembled as he heard the words in those eyes.
A voice mixed with the sound of metal flowed from Evan’s mouth.
“What did you just say, wizard?”
At the same time, life bloomed from Evan’s entire body.
It was so dark that it was difficult to compare it to what was seen in Evan’s study earlier. Since he didn’t show all his strength back then, it seemed like he was trying to survive once again.
Although it wasn’t his intention, Alan clicked his tongue as he got into a fight again. Even though Evan had never experienced a 7th Circle wizard before, he seemed to have learned nothing from the one encounter he had at the mansion.
It was clear that Evan thought that if he just added 1 circle to the 6th circle, it would be the 7th circle. It would be good to at least remember that there are only three 7th Circle wizards on the continent.
“I said I wasn’t that soft, but I guess you forgot.”
Evan’s life was definitely strong.
Calian, who was inside Chermil Palace, felt it, so it was not a flimsy force.
But the other person.
It was Alan Manasil.
“You don’t know the subject so much… I really don’t know how you can handle it.”
With those words, an extremely primal fear gripped my entire body.
– Saaa…….
The feeling of kneeling before an indescribable great person came over Evan.
It wasn’t just Evan’s life that became more intense. Alan’s fears were the same. Evan felt the fear of sinking alone into a deep abyss.
Alan’s voice rang in his ears. It was a calm voice that seemed to have no influence on Evan’s way of life. There was fear even in the sound of that sound.
“Please think about it.”
Evan’s fierceness became even stronger, as if he was trying to overcome it. Then, as if he had been waiting, Alan’s fear increased several times.
Soon, Alan lowered his head slightly and looked directly into Evan’s eyes.
And then he slowly opened his mouth.
“Who am I?”
With that, Alan’s energy once again weighed down Evan.
A long time passed like that. Evan couldn’t hold out any longer.
In the end, Evan gritted his teeth and gave up. Alan also felt this and stopped peering.
Soon Evan opened his mouth in a low voice.
“A wizard who is strong alone will never last long.”
At that moment, the image of Calian appeared in Allen’s mind.
Because of this, Alan was able to answer leisurely.
“It doesn’t matter because I’m not strong alone. Have you ever thought about who Margrave Gray Brisen trusted and what he hoped for when he came here?”
Evan did not answer.
This time, Alan’s gaze moved blatantly. It was toward Heysia Palace, where Silike was located.
” There are too many people in Brisen who want to become strong alone. I’ll see how long it lasts.”
In the end, Evan’s expression became distorted.
It seemed like Evan had a lot to think about, so Alan left, leaving Evan alone. * *

When Kalyan asked him to bring tea, Jan He moved immediately.
Since the place he had just left was a restaurant, Jan quickly went to the refreshment room next to the restaurant. There, he prepared warm cocoa and corn cookies that would go well with cocoa and went to Kalyan’s room. As he had informed Jan,
Kallian An was out on the terrace. It was getting really cold now, so Jan put the tea on the terrace table and went back to the room to get a cardigan. “You’re catching a cold,” Jan said and handed him the cardigan, and Kalian said he didn’t really need
it
. Instead, he said thank you and took the cardigan and put it on.
Soon, Jan, standing next to Calian, asked,
“What are you looking at?” Calian
took a bite of a corn cookie with an attractive rough texture, and saw the entrance to Chermil Palace in the distance. He pointed in the direction. Then, after chewing and swallowing the cookie, he opened his mouth.
“Over there.”
Since the entrance to the Chermil Palace had to be reached around the artificial lake and rose garden, all Jan could see was two people standing there. Calian, who saw Yan straining his eyes and trying to see who was there, said something incoherent.
“It’s creepy. It’s creepy.”
Yan still tilted his head as if he didn’t understand.
“I don’t really know what’s going on.”
“One thing that feels good. And here’s a fun thing.”
It felt good because Alan won, and
it was fun because he didn’t feel Evan’s aura at all.
“I thought it was a lion dying of old age. The teeth are pretty sharp.”
Calian laughed for a while as he said that. .
