Reborn as the Enemy Prince - Chapter 119

Chapter 22. Don’t touch it (9)

The Flame Spear in Alan’s hand rose up again. Nerd saw that and slowly opened his mouth.

“… They came not long after the Blue Warbler was executed. They already knew that the Blue Warbler was not just an assassin but a three-year-old. They paid her a lot of money to find people who could do the work she did.”

“If anyone hears this, they will think that Secretia is very poor.”

Chase, who was quietly watching from behind, smiled and said.

Bern was only seventeen at this time in the past.

As soon as Bern began learning swordsmanship, Devlan thought of entrusting the work regarding Sejak to Bern. Therefore, Bern helped manage Sejac from early on.

And Devlan’s current treatment of Sejak was not bad at all. It was no different from the past. So, the reason why Chase’s voice was full of self-deprecation now was because he realized one thing that this series of contents revealed.

Everything is the same as in the past, but isn’t there just one difference?

Bern’s absence.

That is what caused it.

Alan asked, pretending not to know how Chase was feeling.

“Isn’t it obvious that they don’t belong to a nation? The warriors of the Great Desert didn’t have a nation anyway.”

“It’s not just us, we’ve also seen wizards from Rivern and priests from Tensil.”

“So you’re saying it’s not just the birds of Secretia or the warriors of the Great Desert?”

“That’s right. But I don’t know anything more than this. I don’t even know what name they operate under.”

An organization created by people from many countries.

Alan, who had been studying Nerd carefully, looked at Chase and Chase nodded briefly. They both looked at each other in agreement that he probably had nothing more to hide.

Soon, Alan smiled meaningfully and spoke to Chase.

“Isn’t that amazing? It seems like they care so much about other birds.”

This was an evaluation of Nerd, who opened his mouth immediately after saying that he would kill all the remaining people. Chase remained silent, knowing now that Alan wasn’t expecting an answer.

Alan turned his gaze back to Nerd and smiled softly.

“…But you. Do you know the names of the three people who are running away and act like that?”

There was no change in Nerd’s expression. It was the same face that was glaring at Alan, with anger at the ruthlessness in his hands.

At first glance, it seemed like he opened his mouth to save his subordinates or colleagues. The eyes that immediately turned red when the Flame Spear was sent to one person seemed to prove it.

“I wonder if a friendship has developed that wasn’t there since coming to Kairis. Could it be that the 10 people who became so close joined hands and defected?”

However, originally, the Sejaks did not even know each other’s identities. The same goes for Nerd. The Sejaks had no close relationship with each other at all, so that Kalian could have used it to obtain information.

“Don’t try to lie about something that can’t be true.”

Isn’t Alan a person who is as good at reading people’s minds as he is at being sarcastic?

Alan thought that there must have been someone who tricked them into defecting, and that all ten of them had defected in their own way and came here. Aren’t most traitors born that way?

Alan continued speaking with a calm face.

“Even if I look like this, I have lived long enough not to be deceived by a false face.”

Of course, Alan did not grasp Nerd’s lies through intuition alone. There was another reason why I was convinced that Nerd’s actions were false.

‘White Suri’ was a Sejak who was very loyal to Secretia.

However, that did not mean that his affection for other three works was deep.

In the past, Kalian had said to the Blue Warbler, who did not want to reveal information, that he would have the White Eagle interrogate him. At those words, the blue warbler’s mouth immediately opened. It was because he was afraid of Nerd’s cruelty.

Isn’t that blue warbler also a three piece?

If you really care about the Sejaks, you can be angry about their betrayal, but you cannot retaliate so cruelly that ‘Chase couldn’t eat for three days after seeing the interrogated body.’ Just like Kalyan did.

“Besides, aren’t your actions truly contradictory? You stole nine people. But you tried to take poison in front of me, and when you killed two, you spit out the poison in your mouth. After that, I asked you a question, but you didn’t say anything. That’s why I took one. “I killed more and opened my mouth when I said I would kill the remaining six.”

Nerd did not answer.

“If you really wanted to save them, you should have fought hard instead of trying to bite the poison. Isn’t it really true that you even think about dying after trying that? It’s a complete contradiction that you get angry when they die one by one, when you act like you’ll give up everything and die first. .”

Nerd did not raise his sword to attack Alan.

By making a breathing noise, he showed that he was about to use poison. This means that he took action because he knew that Alan would stop him. Even that might have been just a waste of time.

Moreover, Nerd also showed us why we need to buy time. When he said he would kill all six remaining people, didn’t he immediately open his mouth?

“If at least one of them escapes alive, the warriors will be called back here, so they must have behaved like that.”

Nerd’s expression changed very slightly.

Alan did not miss the change.

“Don’t get your hopes up. No one is coming.”

Six flame spheres fell to the floor.

* * *

Two pills.

Chase, sitting across from Nerd, placed two pills on the table as Alan watched. Then he opened his mouth in a quiet voice.

“I think you know what it is, but should I explain?”

Life and death.

Nerd, who was looking at the medicine that would open two paths, answered. Since he was a Nerd who handled all the items needed by the Sejaks, he was able to distinguish that level of medicine sufficiently.

“I know, sir.”

“okay.”

A smile appeared on Chase’s lips.

“But it would be difficult to give you a choice.”

After saying that, Chase picked up one of the two pills and threw it on the floor. What was thrown away was a poison that would bring death. That was a ray of hope for Nerd.

A poison remained that would take away his eyes, mouth, and ears and leave him unable to see, hear, or speak for the rest of his life.

A voice that could never match the smile that seemed like a quiet forest, as if it were a depiction of Kairis’ harsh winter, came out again.

“You touched something that shouldn’t have been touched.”

“…… Lowering.”

Following Chase’s hand gesture, the knights standing around him grabbed Nerd’s mouth. Then he poured the remaining medicine into his mouth. Nerd resisted, but could not spit out the medicine.

“Walk through despair with regret.”

With those words, Chase stood up and walked outside. The sound of footsteps, which were no different from when I came in, gradually became distant.

That was the last person Nerd saw, heard, and tried to summon.

* * *

Of course, Teylan’s sword was strong.

It’s a whopping three days.

A situation in which the Knights of Secretia who had been led were annihilated.

Until the Balkan wizards arrived, Teilan alone held off the Knights of Kairis. Secretia held out alone for three days so that she could reorganize her final lines. The person who blocked the only road leading to the Secretia palace was Teilan.

There were still nine years ahead of that day, but Teylan was Teylan nonetheless.

– Suddenly!

Teylan’s sword, which cut off the arm of the person blocking his path, stopped after cutting his heart in half. A warrior rushed behind him as he retrieved his sword. When Teilan raised his sword and tried to block the sword covered in red aura.

– Kwasik!

With the sound of bones being pierced, the body of the warrior who was trying to attack Teilan plummeted to the floor. There was a hole the size of a forearm in the neck of the lying corpse. It was the place where the arrow of the wind passed through.

It was Kalian’s.

Taylan, who soon blocked a sword coming from another direction, decapitated him. He then cut off the leg of one of the two warriors heading towards Kalian. The remaining one collapsed with a hole in his heart. This time it was the Wind Spear.

– Howling!

There was a sound of something burning as if it wasn’t going to stop. And at the same time, a huge fireball created by their wizard rushed towards Teilan.

The moment when Teylan’s sword glowed even bluer to prevent it.

[Shield]

Calian stood in front of Teilan with a low voice. And he blocked the fireball with the shield overlaid on the Auror’s shield.

– Quang!

A huge explosion was heard, and at the same time, the shield increased in size in all directions and blocked a heat storm. With that, Kalian swallowed something fishy in his mouth.

There was no way Teylan didn’t know about that situation. Teilan frowned and said to Calian.

“Please stay back. I know your body hasn’t recovered yet.”

Calian paused for a moment after hearing Teilan’s words.

Tailan didn’t know, but it was because it was the first time in a long time that he heard his old teacher respect him. Even after becoming a priest, Alan continued to treat Calian with respect, but Teilan did not.

With six warriors still full of life in front of him and his body not yet fully recovered, Calian smiled leisurely and answered.

“Because I hate being a burden.”

Then he once again created an arrow of wind and pierced the forehead of the charging warrior.

Teilan shook his head, brushed away his sword, and cut off the head of the charging knight while creating a red aura. They didn’t want to deal with Teilan for long. Every single one of them, down to the last one, targeted Kalian so persistently.

ha.

As Teilan cut down the three knights, a fireball flew in once again. Calian let out a short sigh and raised his shield to block it while simultaneously using his mana.

– Quang!

-Ssam!

The moment Calian’s shield blocked the flames and made an explosion sound, a spear of wind tore through the air.

– Kwasik!

After a while, a huge hole appeared in the chest of the wizard who sent the fireball while standing far behind.

The wizard’s body collapsed as he looked down at his wounds, as if he did not understand what had happened.

– Boom!

In the end, all sixteen warriors who attacked Calian died. The strength of each one was significantly lower than that of the five warriors who first attacked Calian. But there were sixteen difficult people, so I couldn’t leave Teylan to deal with them alone.

The good news is that Teilan didn’t have any big questions about Calian’s refusal to take out his sword until now.

Kalian learned swordsmanship from Teilan.

No, the swordsmanship used by Calian was actually better than that of Teilan. This is because it is a technology that will be further refined over the next 10 years. I did not use the sword because I was concerned that it might have a negative effect on Teilan.

Teilan, who thought the reason was simply due to his physical condition, opened his mouth.

“Is it okay if I don’t save you?”

“It’s okay now that I know why you attacked.”

Calian smiled with a pale face.

Teilan did not see the black pebble in his hand.

* * *

Plantz frowned.

This is why the sour scent reached Plants, who was sitting across from him.

Did he collapse as if he was falling asleep, or did he fall asleep as if he were falling asleep?

Anyway, Calian spent the whole day in bed before returning to the palace. The sound of Jan’s concern echoed through Plantz’s room.

Alan briefly visited Calian, who got up from his seat. After that, Kalian went up to the fourth floor holding a basket full of tangerines. And without saying a word, I started forgetting it.

“…… “What are you doing?”

he asked four times already.

Calian answered that he would wait a moment because he was hungry, and only after the smell of sour tangerines filled Plantz’s room did he open his mouth. “I don’t

think we should completely cut Briesen into pieces.

” “Why?”

It was a random thing, so Plantz asked back. Calian then took out a stone from his pocket and put it on the table and said,

“This is the only reason why they would target me. As I said, they didn’t do anything particularly bad in Kyrisis.”

Calian laughed softly as he said this and continued.

“They were also using a power that felt similar to this stone. So at first, I thought it might have been targeting me ever since it found out I got this stone. He was targeting me, but since he was a prince, he didn’t dare to attack easily, and I think he was waiting for an opportunity to attack at any time. When I thought about it that way, the problem was solved.”

“So. What is it?”

“The birds also conveyed information that Tensil and the Great Desert joined hands. As soon as they received that information, they attacked me. So, if it weren’t for me, my brother, or Prince Chase, anyone would have thought that this attack was Tensil’s work. Just like Marquis Briesen did.”

So, what a great opportunity this is.

The attack can be carried out by the raiders and the responsibility can be passed on to Tensil.

“While I was looking at the time to attack me, I realized that the Great Desert and Tensil would join hands. When I found out, I thought this was the right time and rushed in. “To make you think that Tensil is behind this incident.” Calian

pointed to the stone he had taken out a moment ago and said,

“I think they were trying to blind me and see if I know how to use this power.” . While they were checking, they may have just thought of killing him.”

I thought it wasn’t for the purpose of taking the stone or killing Calian. This was because Shia, who had the same thing, was fine. They didn’t bother to attack Shia. On the other hand, Calian was an auror

. I knew how to use it. It was also a power that was suddenly revealed at some point. That’s why I doubted it.

“I wonder if I discovered what the power of this stone was, and that’s why I took the path of the sword with that power. I guess I was trying to confirm that.”

That was Calian’s conclusion.

When he and Teilan were fighting against them, Calian recalled the pebble that reacted with them every time their red auror glowed.

“Their power and this . Stones are definitely involved. However, I would have known that my power was not fake. Besides, in many ways, it’s like warning you not to touch me anymore, so I don’t think I’ll attack you for the time being.”

Calian paused for a moment and thought of Sispanian.

“I don’t think it’s the end. It also means that there is a secret involved that is important enough to touch me.”

Plantz quietly closed his eyes and Calian continued speaking.

“If you have no intention of becoming king or staying in the palace, how about going to Brisen? “Would you like to?”

“Brisen.”

“Once the matter with Brother Randel is resolved, I will keep Briesen alive and give it to you. Since their strength doesn’t seem to be normal, I think we need Briseen as well.”

Calian has been increasing his strength as if preparing for something. But now, he was saying that he thinks he needs Briseen’s power as well.

“…. .. My brother is really bothering me.”

Calian smiled brightly and nodded.

“You can raise a cat in Brisen. I will find a way so you don’t have to leave the capital.”
