Reborn as the Enemy Prince

Chapter 40. I can’t handle it (4)

Hina is angry again.

I was a little angry about that too.

– Almost all of the people I treated were injured by the kind prince.

Of course, out of all of them, the ones who were hurt the most were Calian and Plantz, but that was an unavoidable situation, so it wasn’t counted.

However, we are always worried that our Hina will get tired from treating unnecessary wounds. Kalyan, who said he would put people to sleep forever so that they can never dream of receiving treatment if he catches the eye of people who are deliberately hurting people, actually takes the lead and creates patients. Isn’t it true?

That’s why I can’t help but be angry.

– Everyone comes back with a neck injury whenever they spar with the kind prince. The other wizards are like that, and the quirky vice-captain is especially a good prince.

Hina, who had treated Demirea’s wounds because she felt bad about hurting healthy people for no reason, said this.

– It’s like you did it on purpose. My brother, who deals with me the most, won’t get hurt.

Kirie, who is teaching and sparring the most diligently, is careful not to leave even the slightest scratch on her body.

“It’s true that you did it on purpose.”

Demirea, who was seeing Hina angry for the first time, nodded obediently and answered.

Would it have been different if Calian had been in Siegfried’s territory for a few days? Since then, more and more patients had been treated by Hina, so Demirea was also well aware of Calian’s harsh hands.

“You’re warning me. It’s a sword. I’m telling you to always be careful because if you let your guard down, something bigger will happen.”

– I was going to think that way too.

As Hina said this, she tightened her pursed lips and formed a wrinkle between her eyebrows. Then he looked at Demirea with big black eyes and sighed.

‘There are times when that kind prince just vents his anger.’

I have a very bad habit of sometimes pretending to spar to vent my anger. I knew it would be fruitless to say such a thing, so I just kept my mouth shut.

– If you’re like Duke So, there’s no need to teach him by hurting him like this. If I see this kind prince like this, I will definitely scold him.

“There are definitely scars that we need to remember to get better, Lord Verne. Just like the calluses from last time.”

The tea, made with lemon-flavored herbs and dried apples, had a peaceful flavor that would calm your mind. It was also a peaceful feeling to receive a cup of tea as a gift, which I had forgotten to drink when I went to the mansion.

“When I was in Siegfried’s Territory, I didn’t often have to laugh like this, but thanks to the 3rd Prince who is good at getting into trouble, I am happy in many ways. He taught me a lot and he is worth his name, so I have no complaints. I don’t care about injuries, so don’t scold me.”

Thanks to the older brother that the prince is taking good care of, many of the shadows in my heart have disappeared, and when I meet the thoughtful friends I made thanks to the prince, I feel like I am just like other ordinary people my age for a moment.

Hina, looking at Demirea like that, smiled.

– The Little Duke has a lot to teach me.

“Is that so.”

Instead of worrying about what I can do because I don’t know, I learned what I shouldn’t worry about because I know.

– Still, bad things are bad. In the future, if you hurt someone else for no reason, I will really scold you.

Demirea, who had no reason to stop her until then, nodded and opened her mouth.

“The scent of tea is always so peaceful.”

Then, after giving an answer that did not fit Hina’s words at all, he laughed quietly.

* * *

The rain had stopped and the sky was clear.

It was a peaceful day, just like Demirea thought.

Hina and Demirea talked about Calian’s anger, and Kirie slowly showed Calian’s sword skills to Plantz and began to explain them one by one.

Euria, who went home early for the first time in a long time, smiled with satisfaction as she drank Majurini with the purple cake that Alan had sent her.

Shatin, the costume manager, who had completed the costume specially ordered by Calian to wear on Freyja’s memorial day, carefully inspected the clothes and accessories for any flaws, confirmed that there were no problems, and leaned back on the sofa.

And because Reric, who visited the office shared by Planz and Arsene, quickly left after saying, ‘Our prince can’t come today,’ Arsene and Needlen debated whether it was overwork or anger that was building up after being notified of the sudden vacation news of a co-worker. There was a discussion.

Everyone was having such a peaceful time.

“That’s fun.”

Is that why?

Kalian smiled after taking a sip of cold tea with a strong mint scent. In his other hand, he was holding the results of Euria’s investigation, which he confirmed thoroughly.

“I came to ask you a favor, but you showed me information I didn’t expect.”

Knock knock knock.

Alan opened his mouth to Calian, who was tapping the glass in his hand several times.

“Actually, I didn’t want to tell you the results of the investigation right away because you probably have a lot of things to worry about these days. But since you said you would visit the mother tree of the elves, I thought it would be a good idea to look at the data first, so I’m giving it to you.”

“It’s okay if you don’t stop me that much. I need to know everything that can be confirmed so I can decide what needs to be done, and I also have a smart person who I can pass on all the headaches to.”

“I’m glad. It seems like you’re trying to share the sour tangerines well.”

“Yes, well. Thanks to that smart man, other than the occasional crazy thing, it’s helpful.”

I don’t know if it happens sometimes.

Calian, who shook the glass a few times to make a sound because it was nice to hear the sound of ice clinking, continued speaking.

“What I actually researched was about the crown prince of Tensil, but I feel like my curiosity about the king of Secretia has been answered.”

How can you be so sure about me?

How can someone who died without even knowing everything about my past come here and do such irritating things?

“The white eagle who most likely knew that I was a ‘red swan’ was a member of Zeon. The birds of Secretia may have seen me at Siegfried’s Territory where I stopped by. The birds must have seen how Crown Prince Chase helped me. In addition, many other birds belonged to Zeon.”

“That’s right. Devlan must have known that the dying 3rd Prince Kairis suddenly turned into a person who used swordsmanship similar to Lord Castrin and knew the secret code of birds.”

“It’s funny that the King of Secretia knows something that you don’t know.”

He was joking and saying it was a funny story, but Calian didn’t feel like laughing at all. Of course, it was difficult to find a smile on Alan’s face.

Knock knock knock.

Calian put down the glass and lowered his eyes for a moment, placing his finger on the document.

“This time, the King of Secretia used that as an excuse to call me after placating the elves. The elves called me the word Zeon, the king of humans, written on the axis of time. The letters written on the axis of time were pebbles owned by members of Zeon. The scholar who seemed to have something to do with the pebble, who was also engraved on it, died and disappeared a long time ago while putting the letters on the wall… That means that the axis of time, Zeon, the elves, and even the king of Secretia are somehow related to each other. “It would be correct to say that they should be viewed as related.”

Alan just nodded without answering.

“First of all, King Secretia knew what the axis of time was, so it would not have been difficult to connect the axis of time with my news delivered through Zeon.”

“I guess so. Lord Castrin, who was Devlan’s bodyguard, is someone who could teach him swordsmanship, and what happened to the 3rd Prince of Kyris, whom Chase is trying to take care of? The story of the disappearance of the axis of time and the news were mixed together to form a hypothesis. “It wouldn’t have been difficult to create one.”

Did you realize that I was your son?

Maybe you’re mistaken for someone else who was close to you.

You were convinced of my secret.

Knock knock knock.

The fingers that were tapping on the papers instead of the glass stopped for a moment.

“And… the elves who may be related to Zeon contacted the King of Secretia, and Zeon also includes the Great Desert Wolves. The crown prince of Tensil joined hands with those wolves. In the middle of Zeon “A lot of people are involved in this.”

Xeon is where all of this is connected.

Randel’s heart, which may be related to Zeon. The crown prince of Tensil who may be related to Randel.

Euria’s investigation results, including his recent actions.

“It’s different. It’s very different from what I knew and his ‘past’ actions that Crown Prince Chase told me about. It is still unknown whether Zeon is making the Crown Prince of Tensil move differently from the past or, conversely, whether the Crown Prince of Tensil is moving Zeon by acting differently than in the past. “I don’t know, but I do know that the crown prince of Tensil must be included in the mystery that remains unsolved.”

Knock knock knock.

Calian’s hand, which had been tapping the paper, finally stopped making a sound.

“Lord Thaylan Castrin, Prince Sleiman Hon Siegfried, Marquis Evan Briesen, and me.”

Calian, who mentioned the names of four of the five sword masters excluding Gray Brisen, raised his red eyes and stared at Alan.

“Siona Hill. I need to find out where she is now.”

Calian, whose whereabouts were suddenly unknown, mentioned one Sword Master and continued speaking with sharp eyes.

“I kept thinking about it. The warriors of the Great Desert become so powerful when they have that pebble. If I plant it in my heart, will I be able to defeat my teacher? Will I be able to point my sword at a Sispanian?… Enough. I thought I could do it. Then, how much would it be if Lord Castrin or Master had it?”

Xeon is at the center of everything.

It even seems to be related to Devlan.

“If Zeon is really moving the crown prince of Tensil behind his back, it means that Zeon is capable of doing even more than that. For example, turning the Sword Master into a monster.”

“I hate to imagine it, but I guess so.”

Calian looked at Alan, who nodded, for a moment, then pursed his lips a few times and spoke.

“Master. Can I ask you one difficult favor?”

“What would be difficult if I asked the prince?”

If you ask him to kill Devlan right now, he will do it, and if you ask him to take Evan’s life, he will do it too. If I were to say that I should ascend to the throne right now, I would go straight to Lemain’s office.

In addition, if you ask to catch the golden dragon Silestian this way, you will be cursed by Sispanian and will try to take out the young dragon’s heart.

So, is there any request from Calian that would be difficult to grant?

“I plan to first check Siona’s whereabouts with Lord Siegfried or Lord Castrin. However, besides the master, the other two great wizards. I think we should also find out exactly where they are and what they are doing.”

Two other 7th Circle archmages staying in Rivern. They said they also wanted to find out if it was related to Zeon. To do that, of course it had to go through Eline.

It would have been easier for Alan to send a peer to Sispanian and be understood.

“I’ll check.”

But Alan only responded like this and smiled softly.

* * *

The conversation with Alan became longer.

This was because I had to talk about what I originally wanted to ask for. Thanks to this, Calian, who had made Dmirea wait, hurriedly headed to Chermil Palace in the palace’s small carriage.

As I entered Chermil Palace, I ran into the person upstairs whom I thought I would not see any more today, knowing that Kirie would have taught me about sparring with Dmirea anyway.

Calian, who greeted the duckweed-like creature floating in the artificial lake, opened his mouth.

“I guess it ended sooner than you thought.”

Calian knew best about the extent of Plantz’s memory. I also knew that Plantz was a pea that could have been properly understood to the extent that it only told us things that the eyes could not see.

Therefore, Plantz only nodded once towards Calian, who spoke with a not that surprised expression.

Calian, who had to tell Plantz what he heard from Alan today, but his promise to Demirea came first, bowed his head again and said hello before leaving. But Planz grabbed Calian’s foot.

“Why did you go to Arpia Palace?”

privacy.

Where is my personal life?

Calian, who had completely forgotten that he treated Plant’s room as his own, was about to ask how you knew where I had been, but when he thought about it, he thought it was obvious and just let out a laugh.

There was no special schedule, and the reason I didn’t go to the Wilhelm Pavilion was because I thought that guy who had been in the training hall at the Wilhelm Pavilion until now would know better and that Alan would be the only one left.

“I’ll tell you later. I’m busy right now.”

Calian answered this with an expression on his face that he had no time to talk leisurely with you as my fiancé was waiting for him, but he stopped for a moment as he was about to leave.

It was because I remembered something I needed to confirm with Plantz before meeting and talking with Demirea.

“older brother.”

Calian took a quick look around and manifested Silence. Plantz, who could not feel the movement of magical power but knew what the translucent membrane was, looked straight at Calian. He seemed curious about what he had to say, even using Silence while standing in the middle of the road leading to Chermil Palace.

“Are you sure you have no intention of going to Camilon?”

Plantz, who had been staring at Calian, turned around. When I asked him what was going on, he gave up on answering because I was wondering what he would say to a guy who was wasting his magic power and barking strange things in front of me.

“I’m not talking nonsense.”

“… Is barking no longer fun?”

“I’m tired today. I don’t have time to bark.”

“What is it then?”

“People speak.”

Again, this is informal language.

“I have to decide on a seat, and I think I will have to go out of the palace a lot, so I can’t give it to you, even though I don’t know your intentions. So, can you do it for a little while?”

Plantz, who was looking at Calian blankly wondering why he was suddenly giving up the position of crown prince, let alone speaking informally, spoke in a low voice.

“I have no intention of taking anything more from my brother.”

“It’s not that you took away what was in my hand, but you handed over to me something that was originally yours. Besides, I…” No matter what I think, it does

n’t change the fact that what I own doesn’t belong to this country.

Calian barely swallowed his words and let out a small sigh. One corner of Planz’s mouth rose as he looked at Calian like that. Isn’t it obvious that he was thinking that it wasn’t worth dealing with him?

“no.”

Plantz, who gave a more stubborn answer than ever before as if there was no value in reconsidering, turned around and went inside.

In the end, Calian laughed as he was only wasting precious time by rechecking Plantz’s meaning.

Even if I met an enemy from my previous life, I thought I would have communicated better with him than him.
