Chapter 36: The Rose Will Soon Bloom
The rain that seemed so relentless finally stopped Monday afternoon . Then, sunlight came in, acting as if rain had never come .
In Kailis, where the winters are very cold, a warm breeze came along . The clothes that swung due to the wind were like different colored flowers . It was a spring day that brought along relaxation and sleepiness .
Hina, looking outside, signaled at Kirie with sign language .
– Sparkle sparkle .
Kirie, polishing the sword on the table, looked at Hina’s eyes and hands . He was trying not to miss any of the words that Hina was saying . Due to this, he made a habit of looking at Hina whenever she moved .
“Hina, does the sun sparkle?”
Hina, shook her head and moved her hands again .
– No . The people . They are the ones who are sparkling . They look happy .
People sparkling . Kirie laughed silently . It was a laugh only Hina could see . Hina, having saw that, pointed at Kirie .
– You too .
At those words, Kirie turned his attention to the palace . The gash on his face was now healed . He nodded .
“Yes . I’m happy about it . ”
– The palace . Tomorrow .
Hina was clearly very excited .
Calian, when he asked for them to come five days later, was for them to come on Wednesday . That was because the time he met them was Friday morning . Kirie thought of that too, but HIna was different .
She thought that because they had met on Friday after morning had come, Friday should also be counted as a day, which meant that they were to go on Tuesday .
Therefore, the two of them decided to go to the palace on Tuesday night .
After that, Hina had counted the days to go the palace . Kirie, sheathing his sowrd, said .
“Hina, if we go, we will have to work again . Is that alright?”
Hina nodded . Then, she smiled brigher than the Sun that had risen .
– I want to see the prince .
Kirie’s face turned rigid upon hearing this . Hina added a few more actions .
– He’s handsome . Way more handsome than you .
The grip of Kirie’s hand got stronger . At that sight, Hina made a playful face .
Actually, Hina knew that Kirie was the real one anticipating their arrival at the palace . This was because he was always practicing fighting and polishing his sword . Then, Hina’s hand pointed at Kirie’s sword .
– How are you going to take the sword?
Of course, you couldn’t bring a sword into the palace . It was Calian’s fault for buying Kirie a shield out of old friendship . Calian didn’t think it through enough . Kirie smile and nodded .
“Calian probably has a way . ”
Kirie had already a lot of trust for Calian . Although it may seem a bit excessive . Hina didn’t go over it though, as there were more things that were important .
– I want ice cream again . It tastes good .
Hina, thinking of the ice cream flavored with strawberries, happily begged . Kirie stood up and nodded . There was plenty of money left that Calian had given them .
“Let’s go . I’ll buy you ice cream . ”
Hina’s face straightened . Kirie, looking at Hina being so happy, smiled too .
The rain that continued for four days didn’t allow constructions to be finished, so the opening of the Royal Museum of Art in Astrisha was delayed by a week .
Althought Rumein should have had more time due to that, he didn’t . It was because of the magician’s unexpected visit .
“Please, take a look . ”
They say that the magicians’ main point goes on forever and ever . However, this magician was on the contrary . The first day they met, he demanded a house and told him to take care of his children . Now he came up with this .
Rumein looked at the packet of documents in front of him . It was so thick, maybe even thicker than his arms . Rumein asked .
“Do you have anything against me as of now?”

Alan’s sharp eyelines softened .
“No . Just think of it as an old, leisurely man having come up with a small job . ”
Well, Alan wasn’t that old, but wasn’t that young either .
Anyways, Rumein put down the document he was holding . Alan, after taking a brief look at that, said .
“Eline doesn’t look into those kinds of things . You’re working hard . ”
It could be taken as a sarcastic statement, but it was clear that wasn’t Alan’s attention . He could see it after he was talked to sarcastically so much on the first day they met .
Rumein, after thinking of the king for a while, straightened his back and sat in an upright position .
“I’m not as calm and tranquil as that woman . ”
Then, he walked towards the couch with the packet .
“Please, sit . ”
Alan, after nodding, sat on the other side of the couch than Rumein, and two servants soon came in with tea and dessert . Rumein briefly swirled the tea around his mouth and swallowed it .
“I heard you were out . ”
Alan thought of the day he and Calian went outside the palace .
“Oh, he’s of the age that wants to go outside . ”
“Is he that well?”
Rumein was asking if Calian was rid of poison . Alan shook his head . He couldn’t go into the specifics, so Alan just briefly said .
“It’s at a state where it’s not yet dangerous . I’m still looking at it . ”
“So, he drinks it while knowing that there is poison?”
Alan told Rumein to calm down .
“He’s very meticulous . However, he is taking his medication so it’s not dangerous for him… yet . He does seem to have a plan . ”

“The Calian I hear from you always makes me surprised . It’s different from what I heard from others . ”
Alan answered .
“Is that so . ”
Because Alan might take problem with the words “hear from”, Rumein said more .
“Now similar with Franz, smaller than Randel . I know he comes to beneath my shoulders . ”
He was talking about Calian’s height . It meant that Rumein was finally caring about him, so Alan smiled rather than answering .
Rumein spoke again .
“Then . ”
Rumein put down the teacup . A small clank was heard .
“I hope there’s no hating myself due to his meticulousness . ”
Alan nodded without answer . He then pulled out another packet and handed it to Rumein .
Such a thin bag but so much stuff .
Rumein felt like his duty was increasing and smiled . If somebody saw it, they would be surprised, but Alan didn’t know how straight-faced Rumein can be, so he opened his mouth and started talking .
“You should read it over when you’re bored . ”
What Alan produced were the documents about Silike . They were the same as what Alan gave Calian . Rumein, after sifting through some of the pages, put it back down . Then he spoke .
“You have done something useless . ”
As Alan expected, Rumein knew everything . Alan took a sip of tea . Maybe it was the tea, or Rumein’s words . He felt a strange bitterness .
Clink went the sound of Alan’s cup when he put it down .
“I don’t know if you’ll say that in the future . ”
Alan picked up a piece of chocolate and put it int his mouth . Because his mouth was tasting bitterness, he could instantaneously feel the sweetness . Alan’s fingers pointed at the documents on Rumein’s lap .

“If it’s not those, maybe you should turn it over . ”
Whether it be the documents or this country .
Rumein, now having already pledged to himself to filter out the rudeness, started flipping through the documents . Soon, his voice changed .
When the chocolate had all melted in Alan’s mouth, Rumein’s voice was shaking .
“Order of Magicians…”
“Do you like it?”
The words felt like those said by a snake . It had a peculiar chill to it . Alan was observing Rumein’s reaction, although he had heard from Calian that Rumein was thinking of making an Order of Knights .
“This is…”
Rumein, having said that, shut his mouth . After a long silence, he spoke again .
“Who thought of it?”
“Not me . I’m just a useful master…”
Rumein now figured out that Calian was on the same line of thinking as him . He was in awe and shock .
Rumein now flipped through the document and talked with Alan . The night passed and dawn came, and their talk never stopped .
