Reborn as the Enemy Prince

Chapter 90. There is a lot to gain (5)

There is a sound that is rarely heard in Chermil Palace.

loud sound.

In Chermil, neither the sounds of arguments made by the nobles who visited the Seneu House nor the bustle that could be heard on the way to Astricia Street nor the laughter of those invited to Siegfried House’s banquet could be heard in Chermil.

It was a place where you could rarely hear loud noises, except for the occasional thunder and lightning that seemed to break through the dark sky. The chirping of the birds perched on the window was the only loud sound, so what else could I say?

However, that silence was, of course, not what was written in the laws of the Kingdom of Kairis. King Lemain did not order it, nor did Queen Silike request it. But everyone was silent. It was so natural.

It was that kind of place.

Except for the two children who lived on the 4th and 5th floors of that spacious palace, everyone had to turn on their heels, lower their voices, and not laugh or shout no matter what.

Chermil Palace.

Chermil Palace.

It was that kind of place.

‘Aaaah!’

There was a loud noise in that place.

So much so that the little white and yellow birds sitting by the window hurriedly spread their wings, so much so that the always calm attendants twitched their shoulders, so much so that my eyes, which were not easily moved by anything, turned away from the book and looked out the window on the fourth floor. The sound was that loud.

What happened after that?

There was no need to spend time trying to remember.

This is because the image of the two attendants, who are no longer there, walking to the open window and looking outside continued in my mind.

– Drurk!

And then there was another loud noise.

A sound that came from the 5th floor.

It was the sound of a window on the fifth floor that had been left open closing.

The attendants there probably wanted to give notice to those who caused the commotion outside the window. How dare you make such a loud noise knowing where you are?

‘Orte. Orte. this. this.’

The voice of a child who could not possibly have known the discomfort conveyed continued to be heard. So I returned my gaze out the window and took in the letters in the book again.

‘… That’s frivolous.’

Then I heard this sound.

‘He takes after his mother, so I can’t find any dignity in him.’

Similar sounds were heard together.

A conversation between two servants who went to the window and looked outside. A whisper louder than the crying outside the window. A saying that doesn’t care that there’s another little ear to hear the sound.

Have you ever seen that mother?

He remembered that it had just been three years since the two servants arrived. I even remember exactly that the entrance to the palace was postponed for two days because the Seneu River swelled and reached the bridge due to unprecedented heavy rain. So, I was thinking of asking how and when those servants saw someone who was no longer in the world at that time and why they say that.

-Tap!

I already remembered every single word, but I just closed the useless book I was looking through. Because I knew I wouldn’t be able to answer if I asked.

Ta-bak-ta-bak.

I moved my feet.

I looked down beyond the luxuriously decorated terrace railings, which were painted white and had bars that were said to be used to block prisons. Not long ago, I saw a child again who I had met once and who was said to be less than a year older than me.

she was crying

She was ugly and ugly, crying with her face covered in tears and snot.

‘I kicked them out. It was just a small grass bug. ‘I kicked you out, prince.’

The attendant held out his arm as he spoke, wiping away the tears and snot that filled his bright red eyes and white face with his own hands without a handkerchief. I hugged him brightly. Then he patted me on the back and kept saying the same thing.

‘It’s okay now. it’s okay.’

Even though he knew he couldn’t touch the royal body, he picked him up and patted his back. Even though I heard the window on the 5th floor close and saw the looks of the servants on the 4th floor, they did not say a single word telling me not to cry.

‘It was just a small grass bug.’

‘huh…….’

‘it’s okay.’

‘…… huh.’

That’s all I said.

I remember that.

Kalyan. It was the first time I heard my younger brother’s voice.

* * *

It has a refreshing tea scent.

My older brother, who used to cry and laugh a lot and now even barks a lot, told me it was a hangover, but now I feel like the unresponsive headache is slowly going away.

Is that why you like this so much?

Not long before heading to the dungeon to meet Whitlin, Plantz, who had been looking down at his teacup as if examining the mint scent, which he would not normally have been very pleased with, looked up. He did not lean against the backrest or cross his legs.

“I don’t doubt you.”

It hadn’t been that long since I left the palace. As the three brothers grew taller, two of them lowered their voices and the other’s voice became louder, but not much time had passed.

Nevertheless, it has changed.

As time passes, it increases the height of young children and reduces the height of older people. The limbs of the person who lifted the boy up and held him with one arm were thin, and his dull golden hair had hints of silver mixed into it.

“You might doubt me, but I don’t care.”

Nevertheless, the amber eyes, as bright as the spring sunlight, remained the same, and I listened for a moment to the cry of my little brother one day long ago, coming from within those eyes, and then spoke.

“It was rumored that you liked alcohol so much. That made me laugh for a long time. I’ve probably never laughed so hard in my entire life.”

Then this story came back.

Orte.

From an old man who was Calian’s senior servant.

“I don’t doubt it. I’ve seen you for as long as I’ve seen you, Prince, so what could I have any doubts about? You don’t have to be scared. I’m just grateful and happy that you trust me.”

We had never exchanged a single proper word. We hadn’t even looked at each other for a long time, let alone spoken a word. The person who did that, Ortega, was speaking of an unexpected faith.

“How are you doing, Prince? I heard that you are often busy, but I was always worried that you might skip meals.”

“I’m fine. You don’t have to worry.”

The most useless thing in the world is worrying about Kalyan’s food. Of course, the Calian of the time Ortega remembers would have been very different from what it is now, but that is the case now.

“But… are you saying you don’t want to meet me?”

Ortega asked.

Planz thought for a moment and shook his head.

“I didn’t say no. I came first because I was busy.”

“Do you mind if I meet you?”

He was worried that Ortega might be suspicious of Calian, but he did not consider Ortet untrustworthy. As long as I remembered the words that mingled with the cries of Chermil Palace in those young days, my thoughts would not change.

Just as Siona, who still retains a single drop, and Calian, who still hasn’t forgotten the smile in her portrait, equally still believes in the bottom of Whitlin. Although they may deny it.

“……If only for a moment.”

“Thank you, sir. Thank you.”

So, I guess it would be okay if I let you see Calian with your own eyes, just for a little while. If there was no need for a long conversation like now, I would be able to meet Calian without being detected. She gave permission to that thought.

Ortega took a long, thin breath and let it out slowly, reaching out for her hand. I picked up the car in front of me, smelled it, and then put it down. And she quietly opened her mouth with her eyes on the teacup.

“The knight who brought this to me said so. It was the prince’s favorite tea. So I was surprised for a moment. Prince Calian did not like this kind of scent.”

“… Is that so?”

“I was more surprised to see this car today than when I heard that the person who was so timid was suddenly riding a horse holding a sword. But seeing him like this calmed my surprise and made me understand.”

I looked at Ortega Planz, who took his eyes off his teacup.

“You have grown a lot. Probably the first prince and our prince as well. They must have changed a lot.”

“Not really. I don’t know.”

“I was worried about how you were doing, but I am relieved to see that you are doing well. I am truly fortunate.”

okay.

thank god.

“… Don’t do that. I’m glad you did.”

Because I met Orte before Calian.

“For Calian.”

Ortega, who looked puzzled for a moment at Planz’s words, soon nodded his head. The reason I agreed without asking too many questions was probably due to my long-standing habit as an attendant.

“Yes. I will be careful.”

Ortega quietly took a sip of tea, put it down, and opened his mouth.

“I was staying at Whitlin Estate. It wasn’t long ago that I was captured there.”

It was only natural that I came here to ask something.

After checking on my well-being, he started talking right away without saying anything more.

“I was a nobleman in name only and had no special connections or territory, so I couldn’t decide where else to go, so I left the palace and came straight to Whitlin. I thought there would be no better place to hear the news about Prince Calian than here. That’s what I did.”

“I don’t think even my brother knew that he was here.”

“Yes, you will. I couldn’t tell the agent of the lord here who I was. So I paid money to one of the lords and pretended to be his distant relative and started living there.”

“Why did you hide it?”

“I thought that if they knew who I was, the knights of Briseen would attack me right away.”

“How did Brisen know that you were here?”

“Freyr. Do you know this name?”

“……Queen Freya’s older brother.”

“Do you know that he is in this territory hiding his identity?”

He is already dead.

Freyre, who is now known to the outside world, is Whitlin in disguise. However, Orte, who did not know this fact, still thought that Freyr was there.

“know.”

Instead of informing about Freyr and Whitlin, Plantz simply said:

“Then what is his identity?”

“I heard you’re an elf.”

Ortega nodded his head.

He was not surprised that he already knew a lot.

“Acolytes can hide their identities in the royal palace. Therefore, there was no big problem in staying here under their original names. However, if it had been possible, I would have chosen a new name and identity to feel more at ease. However, it was not possible. “I couldn’t do that.”

“okay.”

It is difficult to lie about your identity.

The management of each country’s royal family over the residents of each territory was so thorough that Calian, who was the lord of Whitlin, had to ask for Lemain’s help, not Calian, to bring the Bern siblings and Norton Ramirez to his territory.

It was because of the Yangshin War.

Didn’t the number of humans decrease drastically during the war? Therefore, each country has prioritized checking whether its population is growing again without problems. Thanks to this, errors cannot occur in each territory’s personal register, so it is difficult to arbitrarily hide a person in one’s territory.

“But how could an elf, who is not even a human, lie about his identity and come here?”

okay. It was a strange thing.

Even all of Whitlin’s nobles were elves. Neither Calian nor Allen could figure out how so many people lied about their identities.

“… Are you my mother?”

Plantz said that an assumption came to mind while listening to Orte. And fortunately, yes. Fortunately, Orte shook his head.

“Then who is it?”

“Grey Briesen. Marquis Briesen has been hiding the elves here in Whitlin. After finding out about it, he wanted to inform the royal palace, but Evan died and Margrave Gray Briesen ascended to the rank of Marquis, so he postponed the work and studied the situation until now. .”

“Why Marquis Briesen?”

“I don’t know the details. What I do know is that Freyr met Gray Brissen not long before Queen Freya passed away. At that time, because of that incident… the former queen called Gray Brissen to the palace and made a big fuss. “There was an incident where I had to pay.”

Silike was not her former queen.

Silike’s name was no longer found anywhere in her royal palace.

However, the reason she calls her silique that way is not because she does not know that fact, but because she was thinking of planz.

“Are you saying that Gray Brisen and Freyr joined hands?”

“It’s not exact, but I think so. Afterwards, there was a rumor going around the royal palace that Freyr had great help in helping Gray take the path of the sword, but it soon died down.”

“Then Whitlin killed Freyr.”

Planz, who was saying this, closed his mouth.

However, the room was quiet and the content was heavy to listen to.

Ortega, who clearly heard Planz’s words, opened his eyes wide and asked.

“……Did you say Whitlin?”

a little.

Plantz just nodded and opened his mouth again.

“You. Why were you imprisoned in the Barony of Dayrn?”

First, let’s start with questions.

Ortega answered the crown prince’s question by directly adding my own curiosity.

“Not long ago, knights suddenly burst into my house. They had swords and armor without any crests. I lost consciousness in their sleeping scent, and when I woke up, I was in a dungeon. That place was Dayrn, because it was the blue-haired man who saved me. “I heard about it through knights and wizards.”

“The reason is.”

“I asked Queen Freya to tell me everything she knew about Freyr. I also asked her when she served Prince Calian, what the relationship between Gray Brisen and I was, and whether she had any contact with Prince Calian. I also asked about such things.”

“I don’t know who it is.”

“It’s Rashid Briesen. It’s my first time seeing his face, but I’m sure he’s right. He looks the same as I’ve heard about him.”

“…… under.”

“Because I knew nothing, I had nothing to hide. I told him the same thing now.”

“okay.”

“I didn’t expect them to let me out if I opened my mouth. I just wanted to die comfortably.”

“I don’t intend to blame you.”

I didn’t think there was anything to say that would be a secret, so I told everything. He said that if a fight broke out between Gray Brissen and Rashid Brissen, it would be a great thing for Calian, so he didn’t bother to hold out and opened his mouth.

Thanks to this, he was able to avoid torture, but it seems that he had no intention of sending him out alive as expected.

As the interrogation was coming to an end, the castle became very noisy. The sounds of armor and swords continued. I wonder if there was a territorial war or something like that.

“I heard a scream. And… I don’t know if you believe it or not, but a monster appeared. It was a monster with bird wings instead of arms and human legs.”

“Harpy. I know.”

“Orders were sent to the prison to release it and install magic bullets within the castle. Before long, the monster was released from its restraints and those in the prison were killed one by one…”

“okay.”

“The one-armed swordsman who came here with me saved my life.”

I’m guessing you’re talking about Norton Ramirez.

“He was in the same prison, and he said he had been locked there for quite a long time. The prosecutor took his wife and me and ran away. He opened the door with the prison key he had hidden and lured the harpy through a secret passage he had known about in advance. And we put all the magical bullets that were about to explode into the passage. Thanks to that, we no longer had to be eaten by the harpies, but the blue-haired knight and wizard saved us from almost dying from the rising flames.”

Plantz nodded his head.

“I told you that Gray Brisen’s servant came to see you. Do you remember?”

“You mean when he was in the palace?”

“okay.”

“I asked Prince Calian if he had any talent.”

“……What a talent.”

“I asked whether there would be any results if I secretly taught magic to the prince.”

Plantz’s eyes narrowed.

“If you have talent, Gray Brissen will look after the prince. That’s what he said. If he does that, the wizard force and Gray Brissen’s knight force will flock to Prince Calian. He thought that with that, he would be able to deal with Evan and the former queen Silike. It was the same.”

“…… so.”

“I secretly took Prince Calian to meet Gray Brisen. The wizard who was with him invited Prince Callian to see him and repeat a few things to him, but the prince could not do anything. He was scared and showed tears.”

Plantz furrowed his eyebrows.

Calian clearly learned magic. He was self-taught. He was talented.

“You did that on purpose. Pretending that you had no talent. Pretending that you couldn’t do anything. Pretending that you were a timid and weak child. You acted to make it look like that. Of course, you were timid to begin with.”

“why.”

If you caught Gray’s eye.

If Gray, who was keeping Sillike in check, supported Calian.

A lot of things may have changed.

“If you do that… is there anything different from your highness?”

Ortega said.

Wouldn’t it be no different from Lemain, whose life was taken by them in return for joining hands with Brisen?

“The prince was brilliant. Don’t you know that he is still like that from those around him?”

Planz closed his eyes for a long time. Meanwhile, Orte continued speaking.

“The matter reached the ears of former Queen Silike, and Gray Brisen was sent to the Margrave, and I took responsibility and stepped down. I thought that perhaps former Queen Silike’s person would become Prince Calian’s next high-ranking attendant, but strangely enough, That didn’t work out that way. Jan, I heard that that boy became a high-ranking servant. That’s really fortunate.”

I may not have known the inside story, but it was probably because Slayman had his hand in it. Since the young Jan’s origins had completely changed from being an orphan to a humble noble family, Silike would have left her alone instead of forcing her to change her servant.

Plantz nodded his head.

Then Ortega spoke cautiously.

“You were talking about Whitlin. Are you referring to the territory of Whitlin?”

“No. Elf.”

“Sispanian… was he alive?”

And he said this:

Plantz frowned once more.

Does that mean it is a blessing or a lament?

Even with his smart brain, he couldn’t tell the difference.

* * *

Whatever you do, put your heart and soul into it.

Not only did he handle the birds of Secretia, but he also did his best to train the knights and practice his own sword. Is it not only that? I poured my whole heart into hating Devlan and caring for Chase.

This is Kalyan, who lived his whole life with such passion and passion that he died. So, there is no way that this tendency will change even if I live one more time in a world that is no different from being returned to isolation after being left alone for my entire life.

So it can’t be helped.

Still mistreating Arsene, who plunged an ice spear into his throbbing hot heart, and making fun of the drunkard on the 4th floor who pierced those harsh words into his soft, innocent heart, were both inevitable. Since he had the temperament to put all his effort and effort into whatever he did, he had no choice but to do his best even if he was to be upset.

Oh, of course.

That’s not to say that Calian wasn’t trying to save the pea that was still clinging to Whitlin’s hands while he was trying to figure out what happened last night. After all, it’s Calian, so it couldn’t have been like that.

So what should we say is the reason?

– Slut!

Rather than saying it’s an afterthought, just.

Should I say that he cooperated in his own way?

what. Anyway, that’s it.

The whirlpool of water flying toward Whitlin’s heart suddenly changed direction. To block Plantz’s unexpected attack, avoid Whitlin’s golden energy and head in the opposite direction.

To be precise.

– Scum!

– Kaaaaaaaa!

Calian turned back and looked in the direction where the red blade was fired.

It is a shield that even Euria and Calian could not destroy on their own. How can we destroy it, whether it’s Calian on the outside or Planz on the inside?

– Ugh… Ugh. Ugh!

Calian, who was acting like he was going to leave without helping, fired his blade. Plantz’s magic, which had changed direction, hit exactly where it would reach.

Whitlin’s defense shield, which was attacked simultaneously from the inside and outside, was momentarily shaken. Since it was impossible to compare the magic of Euria and Plantz, I did not expect the shield to be broken by that single attack. instead.

– Pajijik!

-Ssamssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss also!

– …… Good luck!

Blue lightning, an ice spear, and a fireball were created at the same time and flew towards the place where Calian’s blade was stuck.

– Coogung.

– Boom… Quaaaaang!

There is an explosion sound.

Whitlin’s shield shakes again.

– It looks like it’s a different shield than last time. At that time, I thought I could disable the communication instead of losing it, but this time, instead of connecting the communication, the mana flow was not read. I think it might break if I hit it from the inside again with that magic I don’t know who used earlier.

At the same time, a very relaxed voice came into Plantz’s head.

Plantz, who did not move an inch and still felt Whitlin’s blade touching his neck, took a long breath and exhaled before speaking. The moment the magic was fired, the conversation between the two went like this.

– yet. It’s difficult.

-Have you used up all your magic power? Do it all at once.

– Because I didn’t save much.

– Why on earth did you create the circle?

– I don’t want to use it.

– …… What were you thinking when you met Whitlin alone? Since you can’t even use magic, where do you put your sword?

– I didn’t meet him alone. I missed it.

It was a defensive shield that unfolded in an instant.

Just now.

When the Vulcan members, who had been pushed back by the dazzling shield, were thrown into a corner of the prison and the crown prince of Kairis, who was left alone, drew his sword. Whitlin’s shield, which moved as if it were alive, hit Sinasta hard.

Thanks to you, I lost my sword. And got caught.

Since Whitlin killed the warriors of the great desert without even a drop of blood on his hands, what could Pea, who dropped his sword, do? You have to be caught.

“I was wondering if you got caught on purpose. As expected, you are very weak.”

– Bark. I can shoot again soon.

Calian’s voice brings the answer back to my mind.

Even in the midst of all this, he has such a gentle nature that he can’t say “my little brother is barking” in front of the Balkan crew.

– Jabak.

Calian chuckled and turned back again.

And he stood at a distance, looked at Whitlin, and said,

“You would have gone to the capital anyway, so why are you so anxious? If you wanted to go to the capital right now, you should have told me. What should I do if I make such a request to my inflexible brother?”

Whitlin opened his mouth inside the defense shield that did not budge despite the sudden attacks of Calian and the wizards.

“I will not harm you any more than this. Even if I do, I know that I will be sentenced to death anyway.”

“I know.”

“I have no intention of running away. Please call Alan Manasil and have him go to Kairisis immediately.”

“why.”

Calian asked briefly.

– how much.

– little bit more.

– All right.

“The person the prince just met was from the Barony of Dayrn.”

“Who. Norton Ramirez?”

“yes.”

“so.”

“I heard that the Barony is empty.”

“I guess so. They all flocked here.”

“Not everyone came here.”

“Whitlin. Speak clearly so I can understand.”

– still?

– yet.

“Not all of Zeon’s soldiers from the Barony of Dayrn came here. They probably went to Kairisis.”

“Why in Kairisis?”

“Gray Brisen. I’m sure they went to attack him on Xeon.”

– it’s okay.

“I will go. I will kill you with my own hands.”

-Ssssssssssssssssss!

– Kaaaaang!

As soon as Whitlin’s voice ended, the blue water arrow was shot out once again.

A bright red sword scattered light towards that exact place.
