Reborn as the Enemy Prince - Chapter 163

Chapter 28. It won’t be peaceful at all (1)

A rainy night.

The moon must have been bright. I just know that it is not able to shine its light because it is covered by the dark clouds that cover the space between the earth and the sky.

How charming is a rainy night when you can’t even see the moon, which is sure to be bright as always. So, I’m sure everyone has had a day at least once when they felt really happy about that rainy night.

Of course, this is assuming that the place you are currently sleeping is not outdoors.

I would have been happy if it wasn’t outdoors. It was clear that he was staring out the window with a glass of alcohol in his hand, whether it was beer, Himolica, which was famously the strongest in Kairis, or anything else, completely absorbed in the incongruous sensitivity flowing down with the rain. .

And then, as he watched the falling rainwater, he must have reminisced about the bittersweet memories of magic of a different nature that he had lost in his efforts.

– There must be no trace left of the house that was burned down then… Ah, how vain time is.

Such ruminations.

“It never seems to stop.”

I don’t know if it was rain to welcome spring or summer, but it continued to rain anyway.

But right now, there were no windows to admire and no roof to hear the sound of rain falling. I was very dissatisfied with the fact that I was not in a warm room, but most of all, I had no alcohol to hand. That was the most dissatisfying thing.

“Ah. I want to drink.”

So, Euria let out some of her dissatisfaction by saying something that was true to her instincts.

– Crack, crack.

As if giving an answer to those words.

A spark from a quietly burning bonfire flew into the air and disappeared before we knew it. Just as you should not even dream of hopeless hope. So Euria followed the place where the light had disappeared with eyes filled with even greater dissatisfaction.

Soon Euria’s eyes turned to the distant sky.

“It’s really hard for me too.”

It was exactly what it said.

Arsene, who was accompanying him, said he had to go on the way because of Calian’s orders, but Euria was not. Calian doesn’t even know why Euria came here. So, it was just Euria’s own hardships that brought her to this point without anyone knowing and making excuses.

“I’m glad you know.”

Someone responded to Euria’s words. Of course, it was Arsene.

“There are people here who are suffering like this without even buying it, so don’t feel too unfair.”

He created an ice film that wouldn’t melt to use as a roof, dried the rain-soaked ground and firewood with magic, and created a flame that wouldn’t go out easily and added it to the firewood.

Arsene, who was generously supported, did all of this alone. So there are bound to be a lot of complaints.

“What then should I do?”

Euria said this after hearing Arsene’s words.

I’m older than you, I’m stronger than you, and I’m more emotional than you. Why do I do that? I’m too busy enjoying the falling rain.

“Anyway, I don’t know if those chirps are eating in the rain.”

Euria continued to follow the sparks bouncing from the bonfire with her eyes. This was after expanding the mana to the nearby area and confirming that Chase’s three pieces were still following.

“Are you trying to provide me with food?”

“You coward.”

“Yes, I’m back.”

Doesn’t give me a chance to say a word.

After sending 40 people side by side to the underworld in a scene that could easily be called a massacre, Arsene glanced at Euria, who was uncharacteristically worried about other people’s meals, and asked.

“Do you really not know why they are following us?”

“Oh, I don’t know.”

After answering like that, Euria opened her mouth with a bit of anger.

“If you follow me one more day, I will catch them all.”

Knowing that the birds were following us, we changed our route here and there, which only delayed our schedule. Thanks to this, I can’t even drink on rainy days. So, will you be angry or not?

Arsene, who had now grown accustomed to the hardships he had endured without buying what he said, diligently turned over the boar meat and cooked it. I was afraid that they might try to catch the blue-haired wizard instead of the bird.

Because Euria said that chewing meat is the best, the meat, which was already full of muscle but was cut thickly, did not cook easily. They even said that meat is only as delicious as the person who cooks it, so I gave up on trying to cook it using magic.

So Arsene, who was watching the meat slowly cook with blank eyes, asked another question to change the subject.

“Anyway, you really don’t need to tell the prince. Where are you going and why?”

“It’s dangerous, so I’m sure they’ll tell you nicely to stay out, but why?”

Of course, Calian, who values etiquette, never said that. That’s just the meaning.

Anyway, Euria was investigating the black stone that Calian possessed. Meanwhile, I came across a record of a scholar claiming that he could ‘create a new object’ and was on his way to visit the laboratory where he was last known to have lived.

Then I met the group that attacked Kalian. So I killed them all. Funnily enough, it wasn’t them that followed after that, but Chase’s birds. So Euria was now contemplating whether or not to kill them too.

“Isn’t the Crown Prince of Secretia also investigating the same thing?”

“Burning meat.”

I’m not trying to change the horse, I really rode it.

Even during this serious conversation, Euria was only worried about meat. A confident look that doesn’t turn a blind eye to anything other than what interests you. What a talented wizard this is.

Arsene, who had hurriedly rummaged through the meat, which had been divided into exactly 18 pieces, with the same sentiment as when he had slaughtered the wild boar, looked at Euria.

“That could be true. But it’s strange. I don’t know why the crown prince cares so much about our prince. I thought he might be helping the prince to get along well when he ascends to the throne, but seeing as he doesn’t show any signs of helping, I don’t know. I don’t think so.”

In general, when helping someone in exchange for something in return, they tend to show off by saying, ‘I did this much, so you should do the same later.’ But Chase wasn’t having any of that. That’s why Euria thought it was strange.

“He just cares without showing anything. Even Count Manasil takes it for granted.”

“You can do that, Commander.”

Arsene nodded his head loudly and answered.

“Isn’t the Commander of the Manasil Corps the one who believes that everything living and breathing in this world deserves to help the prince? So he can do that. But the prince is not the one to do that.”

There’s no way Calian wouldn’t know about Chase’s help.

Besides, isn’t it Kalian who doesn’t accept even the smallest thing without paying for it? However, I received a lot of help from Chase.

“If such a prince just received help, doesn’t that mean he’s a trustworthy person? I think so. He’s not the kind of person who receives help without knowing it, so just leave it as is.”

Arsene said this, recalling the chase he had encountered in front of Arfia Palace, and once again rummaged through the meat.

A wizard who can’t stand being curious says this. There’s a reason for everything, so just trust it and get over it.

The day of the second fight with them. Thinking of the two who had sent Allen to Chase and Knight Teilan to Calian, Euria muttered, ‘I guess so,’ and pursed her lips.

“Anyway, wouldn’t it be dangerous for the president of the association to go alone?”

It was said that the person who caused so much harm to Calian was someone with sword skills close to that of a sword master. This means that Calian was defeated even though the opponent was not a sword master. If even one of the people Euria was pursuing now had such skills, Euria might not be safe either.

“So I’m taking you with me.”

Arsene still sparred with Calian quite a few times. Moreover, the people he had dealt with so far were mostly people who used swords. Therefore, Arsene was often better at fighting against knights who were fast and knew how to use a sword properly.

Arsene responded with a voice full of dissatisfaction when he was told that he was already thinking of taking him to his destination.

“I have work to do.”

“Uh, I’m going to go there with you. I’ll help you too, so you can help me too, little one.”

Arsene sighed as he looked at the small light of Margin in the distance.

“There is work to be done in the borderlands, but work must have piled up in Balkan as well. They are clearly working as they please, and the prince’s older brother, Vice Commander Plantz, is not a great person to help me with my work. Besides, aren’t there a lot of magicians hanging out in the capital?”

After hearing that, Euria smiled sweetly instead of getting angry. Then, Arsene said something he could never refuse.

“The movement magic circle is almost complete. If you help me, I’ll give you a ride.”

You’re trying to tempt me with a moving magic circle or something.

Even though I’ve never used a moving magic circle before, it’s still too easy for me to look at people.

With this in mind, Arsene said as he placed a plate of cooked meat neatly placed in front of Euria.

“Yes, President of the Association. Just trust me.”

This is it.

What are wizards?

* * *

Kalian was always like that.

I never really asked why, but I had already noticed it long ago. The day Calian takes out Bern, he puts his sword back. Plants knew that it had always been like that.

“Where are you going, brother?”

“Wilhelm.”

So, after climbing all the stairs, Planz was about to leave Heisia Palace when Calian asked him this, and he answered this.

It was partly because I had to deal with the work left behind by another vice-corps commander who seemed to have gone half as far as I had done once, and partly because I felt like my thoughts would continue in that dark room when I returned to Chermil.

After that’s done, let’s go to the training center and catch Kirie.

For some reason, I was thinking that today would be a good time to receive that deadly sword.

“Let’s go together, Wilhelm. To the training ground.”

It was a call to spar.

I looked at him with eyes asking what he was thinking, and the answer I heard was that it was no big deal.

“His Majesty must be in Chermil by now. I heard he was coming. I’m sorry to meet you, but I’m a little tired.”

Of course, we heard that Lemain was coming, but Plantz also heard it. However, since I had said I was coming to see Randel, I didn’t pay much attention to it.

“You said you were tired, so let’s spar.”

I’m too tired to meet Lemain, so my words about sparring don’t make sense. Anyway, I doubt he even knows how to lie.

Calian chuckled and answered again, wondering if that would happen.

“Actually, I don’t have anywhere to go. If I go somewhere like this, I worry about everyone.”

If you go to Jan, Jan gets worried. If you go to Alan, Alan gets worried. Even Raven is worried, so she can’t even go to the forest.

He was making that kind of noise.

Isn’t he the guy who proudly wears black clothes even though he carries a white cat? I know that anyone who goes into the water and comes out of the water immediately becomes fine with just one word from him.

So, those words were probably just a second excuse to be used in a cowardly manner. I was worried about Plantz, who had no one to worry about in this palace full of people who would worry about me.

“… My brother has such a big heart.”

“Have you realized that now? I thought you were as quick-witted as you were smart.”

“Barking again.”

I made a noise and another drink was poured. Toward the person who was watching the same expression as he was looking at the axis of time a moment ago.

How on earth is this happening?

“…… “Ha.”

Plantz, who had nothing more to say, let out a short sigh.

“I guess so.”

In the end, he nodded and answered as Calian asked. I thought that I might really die at the hands of my brother today, but what could I do? I was wondering if I could do it.

The one who went out of his way to reveal what he was trying to hide was Plantz, but the one who is really paying attention is Calian. Plantz knows this too, so he can only endure his irritation. Calian, who was grinning at Plantz like this, looked back

. I turned around and took a step outside the Heisia Palace.

Then I stopped again.

This was because I felt something inside the room of the Sispanian I had just walked out of. When I turned around, I saw Plantz with an expression on his face that did not notice anything. The wizards guarding the surroundings. It was the same again.

Only Calian was feeling an energy that no one else knew about.

Calian looked around with sharply forged eyes and opened his mouth to Plantz. A voice full of more caution than ever came out. “I’m sorry

. Would you like to go first?”

“Why?”

“I was planning to meet you, but you came. It seems like you’re calling me…”

Calian turned to Plantz, who sensed something he didn’t know, and did not hide it any longer. He said,

“The master of Heisia.”

The corners of Plantz’s eyes narrowed, and a dark line was drawn on Calian’s mouth.
