Chapter 34: The Rose Will Soon Bloom (2)
Calian sent for a carriage and brought Alan back to the palace . As Yan predicted, the delegation farewell party and lunch were going to proceed without the princes, which made for some extra time .
Alan, before doing anything else, gave Calian a document . It was a summary of the information that the magicians gathered until now . Calian, with a bright face, received the document and said,
“Thank you . Please tell the association my gratitude . ”
“You asked for it, so I brought it… but I doubt that it would be of much help, as you can see . ”
Calian smiled .
“It’s always dependent on what purpose you use the document for . This much information is enough . ”
Calian, normally would have placed the documents in the safe but decided to do otherwise after looking at Alan . That’s because he now has to tell Alan what to do next .
“Let’s take a walk . ”
The sky was murky and windy . To prevent others from eavesdropping, Calian left the room, and Alan followed silently .
“It would be obvious . ”
Calian spat out his first words while passing the Sispanian statue that angered him greatly .
Right as Calian spoke, a thin, invisible membrane was formed around the two . It was a ‘Silent’, which shields any talk happening inside so that anyone outside couldn’t hear it .
Calian, realizing that there was no need to come out, blushed . But as the two moved, the membrane moved also . If Yan could see the membrane, he would have had something to say to Alan .
“It’s good to have a magician as a master . ”
“Please, speak freely . ”
Right as Alan was speaking those words, he leaned towards Calian . After nodding, Calian resumed .
“If I begin learning and using magic, Viscount Silike and Brixen would probably consider me an enemy and be on the lookout . They would constantly try to come up with something to disturb me, and as time goes on, it will become more serious . Of course, we could block, to some extent, with the authority of you and the association, but I think it would be better if you can grab some more power . ”
Alan smiled slightly . This was because he saw Calian’s intentions .
“Are you planning to use me as a shield this time?”
“Well, as you know, you have many uses for me . But instead of a shield…”
Calian thought of how to rephrase it . However, he couldn’t think of something grandiose, so he gave up on the metaphorical tone and just said .
“Weapon . Enough to counter Brixen’s order of knights . ”
“Oh well . ”
Alan smile again . He figured out that something fun was going to happen .
“It makes me anticipate . ”
“Yes, you will be quite pleased . ”
“How may I be of service?”
Calian, as if organizing his thoughts, remained silent . Soon, they both entered the rose garden, and Calian answered .
“The Order of Magicians . ”
Alan was perplexed . That term wasn’t familiar to Alan .
“As the name implies, it is an army made out of magicians . ”
Balkan, the Order of Magicians of Kailis .
Recalling that hateful man, Calian was infuriated and his heart beat faster and louder .
How could he forget .
The Order of Magicians that had taken Bern’s life and Secretia as well .
The power of an army created only of magicians .
– the devil in white .
That’s what Secretia’s people called them . When they, with white armor, cloak, and mask, appeared, hell broke loose .

They broke the walls of the castle, dried up rivers, and froze knights while burning cities . They were the devil itself .
And it had yet to exist .
“We must create it . ”
Calian moved again . For some reason, Alan just quietly followed . It wasn’t like he couldn’t understand Calian or show disapproval for the idea . Alan asked,
“Is it possible?”
It was because a possibility analysis couldn’t take place . It was an understandable reaction; even when Rumein proposed to create the order, everyone laughed at the idea .
“You know magicians . They aren’t used to moving in groups and can’t be trained . ”
Alan shared the same thoughts as Calian .
Is it really possible to make an army out of magicians? Will it even function?
“It was possible . ”
It was an answer made of conviction . That was because it already happened in his past and Calian had seen it .
When Rumein changed its stance on magicians and created an Order of Magicians, Brissen simply brushed the idea off .
“Kailis already did it . It was accomplished by Rumein’s hands . It was possible one time, which means it is possible . ”
Alan didn’t respond . He was already thinking about how to make and run it .
However, there was a more important thing for Calian to tell Alan, so he obstructed Alan’s thoughts for a second .
“It took a long time to make a full-fledged army . However, when the Order of Magicians was completed, Rumein died . ”
Nobody knew the cause of his death . The finished Order of Magicians was yielded to Frantz .
Therefore, the power was felt in the hands of Frantz .
“It’s not going to be easy this time . Dangerous, too . It’s going to be something else than just using your name to gather magicians . ”

Alan looked at the straight-faced Calian . Calian was telling him about the risks of what Alan would not undertake .
Alan tilted his head slightly towards Calian . He then whispered .
“I actually am good at magic . ”
He was telling Calian to not worry . Calian smiled and nodded as Alan spoke again .
“But the start won’t be easy . ”
If Alan were to create an Order of Magicians, the Brissens wouldn’t stay still . There would be obstructions everywhere .
“That’s why I’m telling you this now . ”
Calian stared at a swaying tree and talked about the most important part .
“Soon, Rumein and Silike will exchange gifts . ”
Something was about to happen . Alan finally said .
“You’re going to deal with the poisonous tea . ”
Calian was quite surprised at how Alan understood straightaway .
How could Alan be fooled?
“Yes, you are right . However, I can’t punish Silike for this . Therefore, I’m going to use another way . ”
The testimony of a magician and crimosa dealings couldn’t prove that Silike tried to poison Calian . Also, if it was proven that the poisonous tea was consumed, people near Calian would be harmed . This was why Calian had abandoned the thought of punishing Silike .
“May I ask what way you are thinking of?”
Calian smiled at Alan’s question . It meant that he wasn’t going to elaborate, at least for now .
“I will bring up a point in which Silike tried to poison me, in return for Silike not interfering with the creation of the Order of Magicians . Frantz’s mistake and Silike’s mistake will lead to a deal that Brissen can’t retaliate to . ”
Alan nodded .

“For the tea, I would like to request the help of the association . ”
“My pleasure . ”
Alan spoke again .
“After the problem with the poisonous tea has ended, Rumein would be less concerned . ”
Calian glanced at Alan with an inquisitive eye . He was perplexed as to why the name Rumein came up when talking about the poisonous tea and the magicians’ association . Alan then explained why he was mad at Rumein .
Calian thought for a moment and nodded .
“Thanks to you, I can gain more in this situation . Of course, luck must follow . ”
Calian, having said that, returned back to the story .
“I don’t know when they are going to try to kill a prince again . The deal must be made and the Order of Magicians needs to be organized now . Also, please talk with Rumein . He will definitely have many thoughts on this . ”
Alan tried to act cute with words that were different from what he actually felt .
“You’re trying to use your old teacher too much . ”
“I heard you’re still sturdy and active, or at least that’s what Yan said . That’s why I’m going to treat you harshly . ”
Alan’s soft laugh silently rang against the walls of the Silent .
“As you say . ”
