Chapter 33: The Rose Will Soon Bloom
Calian, who only had a few hours of sleep due to his talk with Alan the day before, woke up . Just as he opened his eyes, he noticed Yan’s bloodshot eyes looking directly at him . Calian was surprised at the sight and backed away .
“God, you nearly gave me a heart attack! What’s the matter?”
Yan, with bloodshot eyes and huge dark circles, was clearly sleep-deprived .
“I told you to sleep…”
“Your highness . ”
Yan asked with a solemn expression,
“Why do you drink morning tea?”
Calian thought for a second . It seems that Yan suspects the tea to be poisoned .
“You gave it to me . ”
Those were words of reproof . Of course, Calian didn’t intend to blame Yan for not noticing, as Calian himself didn’t suspect there to be poison either . If anything was to blame, it would be Yan’s diligence in bringing him tea every morning .
Yan, who didn’t receive the answer he wanted, reached out to the coffee table next to Calian’s bed . There lays the morning tea that the prince had yet to drink .
Without hesitating for even a split second, Yan raised the cup to his mouth .
Calian’s gaze towards Yan turned sharp .
He snatched the teacup away from Yan, just before it touched his lips, causing some of the tea to splash on the carpet . As Yan stared at the carpet where the brown tea was being soaked, he balled his hands into fists .
Calian was infuriated at this situation .
Coercing and threatening to kill if Calian didn’t tell him what he knew, and also attempting to commit suicide .
Why must everyone be so radical?
Calian shouted angrily at Yan .
“What are you doing!”
He then reached out to inspect Yan’s face .
Did he swallow it?
Yan pushed Calian’s fingers away . This wasn’t something he would normally do, but there was no time to care about that . Calian, feeling frustrated at the quiet Yan, shouted once again .
“Why did you drink it?!”
“I didn’t!”
Yan shouted back . Calian didn’t hate Yan for doing that . A moment later Yan spoke .
“I gave poison to you with my own hands . ”
Without saying anything more, Yan simply stared at Calian, but his face expressed all that he wanted to say– there was rage, resentment, and cursing .
The anger and unsaid curse words weren’t directed towards Calian, but rather, to Yan himself .
“I was wondering why you had bought the knife, knowing that you aren’t skilled in using such a weapon . ”
Calian resented himself for buying that knife .
“I came to relate it with your current status . I thought of Sir Manasil’s poisoned son when I thought of the medicine he gave . ”
Calian looked up at Yan with surprise .
What happened with Alan was something he knew alone . Now that Calian thought of It, he could understand why Alan looked around and knew well about himself .
“That was why I thought of poison . One thought led to another, then finally, the morning tea came to mind . I suspected it might be that . ”
Calian had predicted it to be poison already when he snatched the teacup out of Yan’s hands .
Calian thought Yan would cry and blame himself, but that didn’t happen this time .
“Is it Silike?”
Yan usually didn’t call Silike in that way .
If Calian said yes, Yan would have tried to attack Heisia Palace right away . Calian briefly glanced at Yan and then shook his head .
“Why . You want to get revenge?”
“I wouldn’t say no . ”
Yan’s voice was extremely cold and his clenched fist seemed to be drained of blood . Calian shook his head .
“Elephants should stay put . It’s going to create a war . ”
Yan was about to say something, but then shut his mouth as thought over what Calian just said . Lost for words, he couldn’t help but stare at Calian .
He uttered in shock,
“…what–”
In the first place, Yan and Schleimann were very similar . Calian spent all his time with Yan, had no way of not knowing it . He doubted the idea at first, but then he recalled how Rumein didn’t realize he had been outside the palace with Alan . Of course, Alan was the one who taught him that they were called elephants .
Anyways, it was a foolish idea to bring war between Siegfried and Brixen . Therefore, Yan musn’t get involved in this situation .
Calian whispered to the baby elephant in front of him in a serious voice .
“My business . Leave it alone . ”
Herbivores should be treated like herbivores by not harming their ideology .
“Anyways, it will be resolved by Tuesday . ”
A laid-back Calian drank all the tea that was left in the cup .
