Reborn as the Enemy Prince

Chapter 44. So as not to forget (5),

I looked down for a moment.

A milk tea with the color of a horse named ‘Tunteun-i’, which goes one step further than butterflies or apples, caught my eye.

Plantz responded to his one and only brother’s hospitality by slightly raising one corner of his mouth, and savored the strong scent of the flowers floating in the teacup.

A milk tea-colored horse. And thinking about the scentless flower that the person who named that word told me about.

“If you don’t like it, bite it. It’s because I called the third child and you came.”

Kalian was making a fuss about not liking grapefruit, so I brought out milk tea and was told that planz had arrived. I also said this because I know that planz cannot tolerate the scent of flowers.

Plantz, who had obviously told me in advance that he would come here, answered without showing any special expression.

“Anyway, thanks to you, I can smell the scent of roses all season long. One more day won’t change anything.”

Soon, Planz took a sip of milk tea full of rosehip flavor. I thought it was bearable because it was similar to the red scent that flows in through the cracks in the window and has to be half-forced to be smelled.

“Why did you call Calian?”

Plantz only came because of the three things Kalian had mentioned. The fact that Randel had been looking for Calian was something he had noticed from what he had just said, but he did not make it obvious.

Randel must have asked someone to convey the message to him, and the person who heard it either forgot it in the chaos of clearing away Evan or was unable to convey it to Calian yet. I thought there was no need to expose such a minor mistake and point out the mistake of someone I don’t even know who it is.

Of course, if I had known that it was Arsene, things would have been a little different, but I didn’t know.

“I don’t know when I became the third child’s mouth and ears. I guess I felt bored when the eyes and ears around me disappeared.”

“I don’t know if you know, but the third one is unwell right now and can’t come up. Since you won’t be coming down, I’ll pass it on to you.”

Plantz only said what he had to say, trying not to react sensitively to the criticism that he had escaped Silike’s surveillance and was now acting as Calian’s lackey.

Randel let out a small laugh at the words of the middle-floor resident who claimed to be a bridge between the two brothers, who were very strange, separated by only two floors.

Randel raised his head for a moment and looked at Plantz.

I heard the sound of a clock ticking.

It was a sound I hadn’t heard the last time I came here. Because there was nothing in this room at that time.

“I wanted to ask you something and wanted to meet you.”

“What.”

“It is done.”

Are you saying there is no need to ask now?

Or does that mean I should ask directly?

Tweet. Tweet.

Just as the sound of the second hand coming back seemed to be bothersome, Plantz opened his mouth.

“I know that you sent a sacred item to Tensil. Who in Tensil did you send it to?”

“I’m curious about more things.”

“There were originally a lot. Enough to pass by.”

Randel, who looked at Planz with his mouth shut for a moment, slowly answered.

“Sent to the crown prince of Tensil.”

“Who did you send it to?”

“fuse.”

“Are you still sending it?”

“Thanks to my third child, I’m quite free these days.”

Even if you want to send a sacred item, wouldn’t you send it only if someone is there to carry it?

It was said that thanks to Calian, who stopped Lennon’s attempt to use his superiors and kicked out the priests, he was no longer doing the work of sending blessings to Tensil. The good third brother, who knows how to give preference to elders, is eliminating the first brother’s work and only increasing the work of the younger brother, who is in his prime.

“If you don’t have any more questions, just go downstairs.”

“Deal. I’d like you to proceed with just one.”

“What kind of deal are you talking about?”

Plantz lifted the glass with a click, swallowed the milk tea again, put it down, and opened his mouth.

“This is the top of Fallun. Do you remember how the diamond trade with Tensil was stopped due to cutting off the sacred knight that Tensil was trying to smuggle in?”

Randel nodded silently.

“I would like you to use the Fallun merchant this time in the same way you tried to send new goods through the Brisen merchant. Since the transaction with Secretia has been cut off, they will not be suspicious if you make an excuse to look for another outlet. I would like you to trade new products again on the condition of resuming diamond trading. ”

“Was it a trick to cover up something?”

“I’m looking for a bird that’s been bugging me.”

In Tensil, you probably don’t know how much trust Melfir, the lord of the Fallun Merchant Marine, has from Calian. Even if they knew, would there be any reason to suspect that the businessman, who was working with them in pursuit of profit, was secretly filling other pockets? Therefore, Tensil would not have thought it strange even if Melfir, who was suffering huge losses due to the loss of the ruby trade due to this incident, tried to close the diamond trade on the condition that the sacred item be transferred to Tensil without Calian’s knowledge.

Afterwards, if Melfir spreads the word that he is secretly looking for the person who brought the sacred item to Hail Latran, Aela will also hear the news. Aela would have realized that this process was a trap for Calian to catch her, but it didn’t matter.

‘My purpose is not to trick Aila into contacting Baron Fallun, but to let Aila know that I am looking for her. At this point, it would be good to make up for some of Baron Fallun’s losses.’

Landel, who had heard everything Calian had thought of while chewing and swallowing the largest piece of pork and beef on his plate, answered quietly.

“Your Highness is about to do something that you won’t like if you find out.”

Trading new goods with Tensil was illegal.

When this was pointed out, Plantz laughed and responded.

“That’s not something you would say from someone who knew full well that he shouldn’t have done something. Besides, since when did you start caring about your highness?”

Of course, I was planning to talk to Lemain separately. I don’t want Melfir to get caught during the transaction.

We’re trying to catch King Secretia, but we might break some of the Kairis laws.

Isn’t this a prince’s title meant to be used in times like this?

“Period.”

“the faster, the better.”

Randel thought for a moment and then nodded.

“I’ll do that. It’s not a bad thing for me either.”

“Yes. Then.”

Landel, who was still looking at Plantz as if he was asking if he could get up now, opened his mouth.

“I thought I could ask you what I was curious about the third one.”

“What is.”

“Calian. That child…”

Randel, who seemed to be lost in thought once again with his mouth open, continued.

“Are you still the third child? Or are you just your younger brother now?”

As soon as the question was finished, Plantz’s eyes began to darken.

Planz didn’t bother to hide the blade in his eyes. If Randel began to suspect, there was no need to hide it.

It’s okay to doubt it.

Now, whether you have any doubts or not. Randel, who is extremely rational, will never understand the truth.

“My younger brother.”

Besides, Kalyan.

“It’s just Kalian.”

Kalyan is just Kalyan, so is there any problem?

Landel, who was looking at Plantz who gave his answer as if throwing it out, nodded briefly. Plantz immediately got up, gave a brief courtesy, and then went out.

The sound of a tie being ripped off was heard at first glance, but it disappeared as it was obscured by the closing door.

* * *

Arsene has arrived.

Calian, who was not aware that he was still in a state where he was not allowed to move freely, pretended not to be able to overcome Jan’s anger and greeted Arsene by sitting against the head of the bed.

‘Please note that the prince is not feeling well.’

I heard from Jan that Calian, who had not fully recovered yet, was urgently looking for Arsene. So Arsene had a rough idea of what was going to happen and prepared his mind. I couldn’t write a reflection because I came right away, but I also had an expression of reflection on my face.

“Meeting Prince Calian.”

Calian was smiling in a way that, if Jan had not told him in advance, one would have mistakenly thought he was quite happy to see Arsene.

Calian nodded and nodded and pointed to the chair next to the bed.

“Come this way, Lord Hertz.”

The Seigne River seems to flow between the door and the bedroom.

If I go that way, I don’t think I’ll ever come back.

Arsene swallowed dry saliva and slowly and carefully stepped into Calian’s bedroom. Then I saw something placed on the nightstand next to the bed.

It was a condensed form of ice attribute magic, but I had no idea what it was for. The wizard, who had to ask questions even if he died soon, eventually asked Calian.

“What is that, my prince?”

“Oh this.”

Something blue and beautiful.

Calian, who was quietly looking at the large flower made of ice, smiled prettily and answered.

“For the Lord, my Annelucia.”

“Ah…”

When a person gives up on something, he or she feels at ease.

Arsene, who looked much more relaxed after giving up his life, nodded.

“Thank you for even caring about the flowers.”

“Do you understand what I mean?”

“Yes. I know I did something wrong, Prince.”

The face was so serious and solemn that Calian burst into laughter for a moment. I wanted to laugh for a long time, but I couldn’t because my stomach was tight.

If Hina had known this would happen, she would have received treatment instead of just telling Hina to rest. Kalian opened his mouth after thinking for a moment.

“Hina looked like she was having a hard time, and I didn’t think Brother Randel would do anything on the spot, or that he looked so sick that he had to immediately cast an unfamiliar spell, or that I was confident that he had enough skills to succeed in one go.” Do you have any excuses?”

Arsene responded to Calian, who spoke as if he had seen the situation of that day with his own eyes.

“I distrust the First Prince.”

“I know.”

“And wizards do not rashly test their poor magic on living things.”

“I know that too.”

“So I have no excuse.”

“If I knew the mistake so well, I would know what to do.”

“You gave it to Annelusia, didn’t you?”

Calian also knew that Arsene was really thinking about drilling a hole somewhere in his body. Because of this, I couldn’t help but laugh.

“If you’re so scared, why on earth are you following me?”

“Because I’m scared.”

Calian, who was looking at Arsene as if he was wondering what kind of guy he was, burst out laughing again and said what he had said many times.

“Anyway, Sir, you are a really strange person.”

Other than a few cuts on my neck during sparring or hitting me and putting me to sleep on a day when I was very drunk, I’ve never treated him harshly, so I don’t know what I’m afraid of.

Is there anyone else who is as friendly as me?

After completing a very objective evaluation of himself, Calian looked down at the ice flower for a moment, then returned his gaze to Arsene and opened his mouth.

“Actually, I was almost angry because he left Hina alone and went out of the palace, but I ended up leaving her seated next to Master. Lord Randel and Lord Hertz would have taken care of it. If it’s urgent, I can borrow Raven’s feet or Lucy’s hands. “What can’t they do?”

At these words, Arsene’s eyes fell on the ice flower on the nightstand. Then it seemed like he wanted to ask why he made this, so Calian answered first.

“The Sejak we caught at Ratran Territory is alive.”

Arsene, who immediately remembered the three actions without having to look back on his memories, narrowed his eyes and answered.

“…… Hasn’t he been executed?

” “It looks like he was replaced by someone else, but thanks to that, I’m in a bit of trouble.” ”

I’ll catch him.”

Our prince’s precious secret has started to spread widely, so of course we have to catch him, right?

“Do you think I’ll find out where it is and catch you?”

“Isn’t that what you plan to do with it?”

Arsene pointed to the ice flower.

Calian nodded with a satisfied expression at the thought of how quick he was. I didn’t think about who it was created thanks to who put it together.

“There will be a party in ten days to celebrate Gray Briesen’s ascension to the rank of Marquess, but I can’t go. “I hope you send me a gift on my behalf and come to the party.”

“I didn’t hear about the party, but you’re such an amazing guy. “My father is dead, my brother is executed, and my nephew is gone, and you’re having a party.” “

Ah. “I haven’t heard about the party yet.”

Calian replied in a light tone, smiled slightly, and added,

“Because I haven’t told you to have a party yet. “I am.”

Arsene, who had become much more perceptive, looked at Calian blankly for a moment.

Then, after a while, he understood that he was planning to instruct Gray, who had no party plans, to throw a party.

“It will be a party that any noble can attend without a special invitation. Whether you are Lord or Baron Fallun, you will be able to convey your congratulations.” ”

Yes, I understand. Would it be okay if Baron Fallun and I spread the word so that we don’t get suspicious?”

“That’s perfect.”

“Yes. Then, what kind of gift can I send you?”

Calian changed the properties of mana with a single movement of his hand. The blue ice flower on the nightstand quickly changed its properties and burned red. It became a flame. “A statue that does not melt or burn

. Of course, it’s something other than a flower.”

After receiving Plantz’s request, Randel informs Randel that Calian is looking for Aela. Calian summons Aela to Calian. “Then, can I make it into a

statue of the prince? ?”

Arsene asked with a smile as soon as he heard about the statue, whether he knew this was his intention or not.

As he is a wizard who needs to do what he wants to do, Arsene also doesn’t know how to give up. So isn’t this a truly wizard-like response? This is so

good. Calian, who understood, smiled brightly and answered,

“Why did you send that there, you crazy person?”

Arsene grinned after hearing the man who thought he could be crazier than this, calling him crazy.

Anyway,

Calian was looking for him. Aela, who knew this, had to look at Melfir first in order to figure out how things were going. From now on, Melfir, who would never leave the house

until the party, would of course attend the party where he left the house for the first time. If he was to disguise himself. There is little risk of being caught anyway.

Calian was planning to send a visible message to Aela. After confirming it, Aela would come to him out of curiosity, anxiety, or anger. Of course, until then, he asked for the palace’s magical protection to be released for a while

. He was planning to tell Alan the story. If he did,

he would say, “It’s been a while.”

Such a beautiful blue bird.

“……Aila.”

He would come back again. He would

sit on the terrace railing with his back to the moonlight and look at him. Calian smiled happily as he saw his long hair blowing in the wind. It

was late at night, more than 15 days after meeting Arsene.
