Reborn as the Enemy Prince - Chapter 175
Chapter 30. My person (2)
was quiet.
After a fight there was always a constant calm. It was so quiet that I wondered if it was the same place where lightning had struck and water columns had been rising just moments before.
In the midst of such silence, Alan’s eyes, looking around, landed on Euria. This was after hearing an explanation of what had happened so far.
Euria, who was standing quietly, lowered her head slightly as the gaze continued without saying a word. I thought I knew what Alan was trying to say.
Alan looked at the ends of his purple hair, which were shaking meaninglessly in the blowing wind, and then let out a calming voice.
“It’s a deception.”
Alan warned him of the danger and told him to keep his hands off.
Euria disobeyed those words.
Even if Zeon’s subordinates were in fact following in the footsteps of the Sejaks, not Euria, and even if Euria started this purely for Calian, it is only a reference to understand the current situation.
It did not justify Euria’s mistakes or allow her to put back the blood she spilled.
“It’s arrogance, it’s negligence, it’s conceit.”
Alan’s eyes were narrowed as he said this. Alan was just as angry as Calian. However, the reason for being angry was slightly different.
If Calian was angry about Arsene’s injury right now, Allen was now reprimanding Euria’s short judgment.
“When you make a mistake, it is not you who dies. You must know that. If you forget it for a moment, it is your subordinates who trust you and put their necks on the line who die.”
Euria’s eyes trembled greatly when she heard this. The look in his eyes was asking what happened to Arsene.
Since he didn’t intend to cause trouble by misunderstanding that part, Alan shook his head and said,
“It looks like there was no major problem. Just because we arrived at the right time and saved him, don’t count yourself lucky. If we had been even a little late, he would have died. Because of you.”
Euria lowered her head without making any excuses. Because what Alan said was not wrong.
Alan, who was looking at Euria, turned his head and looked in the direction where Calian was. I felt the energy of Arsene, who was on top of Raven, moving away towards the moving magic circle. So now, where Calian was, there were two of them alive.
“It’s not that I don’t know that I did it with the prince in mind.”
The two didn’t look like they were fighting. Calian, facing an enemy, would not be able to talk peacefully.
Alan spoke quietly, feeling more concerned and pitiful about what Calian was doing rather than what he was doing.
“Please don’t do that in the future.”
Not long after that, one side lost energy.
There was now only one person alive in that vast place.

I was devastated.
It was a day when I no longer had to cower in the night air. But to Planz, it just felt bleak.
The light of the magic lantern left in the darkness, the sound of the carriage moving forward relying on that light, and the speed of my heart that was deliberately listening to it were all faint.
– Multi-faceted, multi-faceted.
The Balkan wizards did not remain in the royal palace. And I didn’t trust Kirie in her current state as much as the smiling Calian. Aside from them, only Hina, Yan, and Plants were able to enter the area where Kalian’s moving magic circle was located.
But I guess we can’t ask Jan to take Hina to the moving magic circle. I can’t send Hina alone.
As a result of these reasons, Planz became the second prince to go out without permission that night.
Actually, I should have gotten Lemain’s permission when I met him, but I forgot because of Lavender’s innocent words and the words spoken without malice. It was truly unbecoming of Plants, but the desire to get out of that situation was so great that he had no choice.
Should we say that it was fortunate that the people standing guard at the main gate were members of the Karen Order of Knights that Plantz had acquired, so they listened to Plantz’s words obediently.
With that thought in mind, I turned my head forward to see the eerie scenery passing by outside the window of the carriage, and Hina, who was sitting across from me, raised her hand.
– Are you worried? I don’t like the expression.
Even though Plantz wasn’t particularly frowning, Hina asked this question. Plantz, who was looking at Hina like that, answered quietly.
“No. I’m depressed.”
What’s wrong, I can’t do it, I can’t do it, etc.
Plantz, who was likely to have given a sufficient answer and let it go, gave a slightly longer answer. It might have been repayment for the strawberries, consideration for Hina, or some other meaningless change, but Hina, who thought anything was good, smiled. Then, he took off the white robe he was wearing and handed it to Plantz.
Planz stretched out his arms to ask ‘Why?’ Don’t you have to have your hands empty to hear the reason? Thanks to that, Hina spoke to Plantz, who had already received the robe.
– Warming magic. it’s warm.
Hina was still staying in her original lodgings at Chermil Palace. Calian, who was worried that he might catch a cold while going back and forth between the dormitory and the Wilhelm Pavilion, asked Alan for a warming spell. Since it was Alan who had enchanted the carriage prepared for the coming-of-age ceremony, I thought it might be a robe.
After that, I was worried that our Hina would get hot in the upcoming summer. Unlike the Chermil Palace, the Wilhelm Pavilion was not enchanted with temperature control. So I asked Alan for that too.
Thanks to the increased requests one by one, unlike the other Vulcan members’ robes that had no magic attached, Hina’s had an enormous increase in temperature control, lightweight, basic magic resistance for all attributes, a shield that automatically activates up to 3 times, etc., as much as Calian worried. Alan’s magic took effect. It was even recently given a ‘clean’ rating.
– Cover it.
However, since Plantz is so sad, he is handing over the precious robe that cannot be obtained even with money.
Plantz, who did not know that Calian’s lifeline had been connected because he was not in Kairisis and could not see him, opened his mouth.
“it’s okay.”
I didn’t say it because it was cold anyway.
I just felt like I was depressed.
Therefore, Hina, who was looking at the robe that was being handed back in refusal, moved her hand again.
– I like it because it makes my heart feel soft when it’s warm.
Plantz didn’t recognize Hina’s words ‘soft and fluffy’. But I understood. Just by looking at the facial expression he was making, I could tell what he was trying to say.
“… What do you know?”
So Plantz answered:
Don’t say words of comfort by saying you know something when you know nothing. I made a sound that could possibly be heard as sharp. Rather than expressing anger towards a strict person, it was simply a warning against someone who handed something unfamiliar to them.
Hina looked at Planz for a moment and then laughed quietly. He then stood up, took the robe in Plantz’s hand, unfolded it, and arbitrarily covered Plantz’s knees.
– There are things you can do because you don’t know.
It’s also confident.
Have you forgotten that you are dealing with a prince now? That’s why you act so arrogantly.
Planz, who was about to ask, just kept his mouth shut and looked out the window. Then he turned his head back to the front. After that, I closed my eyes and opened them again, as was my habit.
If you look somewhere else or close your eyes, you won’t be able to speak. Hina.
Then suddenly my gaze went down. A purple mark engraved on the robe appeared. Since it meant a healer, Hina’s was the only one in the Balkans that was purple. So that Hina stands out wherever she is. So that you can get there quickly when you get hurt.
So that you can be healed before it is too late.
Planz looked at the purple mark for a moment and saw another pattern engraved on the inside of the round mark. A very small thing that looks like a star.
“It’s a flower again.”
Plantz said this without even realizing it. It was clearly a flower, as it was engraved with white thread on the white robe and could not be easily seen.
I was already tired of flowers, but here they are again. So, I picked up the robe and was about to give it back to Hina, but Hina’s words caught my eye.
– It’s La Lyceum. A flower without scent. So I like it.
Laricium.
Hina said she likes flowers with that name.
– Because flowers have no scent and I cannot speak. So I put it in instead of the name.
He said that he likes the lack of scent because he feels like he cannot speak. So it was said that the embroidery was done as if the name was engraved.
Plantz took his hand off the lob. Then he spoke quietly in a passing tone.
“What’s wrong with that?”
For Plants, the existence of scentless flowers is a welcome and fortunate thing. Isn’t it like permission not to feel all the scents in the world as Renieri? Even if all the scents in the world are like Renieri, this flower is definitely not Renieri.
So, either there is no scent or you can’t speak.
What’s wrong with that?
Hearing Plantz’s words, Hina’s eyes widened and she moved her hand again.
– i know. I just said he looked like me.
Plantz laughed slightly after hearing that. And then I leaned back on the chair.
The scentless flower looked like a small star, and to Plants, it was like the only star on a moonless night.
There was a purple flower that I didn’t like.
I learned a white flower that I didn’t like.
I felt like if I added and subtracted it, it would feel like nothing happened, so I leaned back, thinking that it could happen one day.
Instead of Lucy, the robe covering her knees was as warm as Lucy’s, so she leaned back.
* * *
It was quiet.
Meanwhile, Calian, who was standing alone, said nothing. He just stood there quietly, with his eyes focused on the floor, as if he had been nailed down.
–
The sound of someone stepping on the ground was heard from some distance away.
Kalian still stood motionless. I didn’t look towards the place where the sound came from, nor was I conscious or alert.
Because I knew whose voice it was, I knew that I would never have to be wary of that voice until I died, so I just stood still.
–
The sound of unhurried footsteps approached Calian. And then it quietly stopped next to Calian.
It was Allen who came here with Calian, who seemed to be in a hurry, without asking anything, and left this place as it was and went to help Euria, following Calian’s wishes.
After confirming that there were no enemies left around, Alan sent Eurya back into the cave where Secretia’s secretaries were said to be. After that, I returned to Calian and asked.
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
A soft voice rang in Calian’s ears.
Even though he knew that Kalian had grown up and that the people here would not be a match for Kalian, he asked this.
Calian, who knew that the question was not a greeting, answered as if not to worry.
“You’re not hurt.”
There was no body around Kalian. It was unclear whether the body had already been disposed of or whether the body had been left somewhere else, but it was not important to Alan.
“Fortunately, the.”
Calian nodded at the warm words.
Then he looked around for a moment and spoke in a monotone voice.
“It seems that the purpose of those who came here today and the group of about 40 people who first attacked Siren were different. They say they don’t know anything about those who first attacked. Even looking at the difference in force, that group was targeting Siren, and those who came this time were aimed at Siren. “I don’t think it’s a lie since I said I followed in the footsteps of the three men.”
As these words say, those who visited the forest today were warriors of the Great Desert among members of Zeon, and those who first attacked Euria were members of Zeon, but they were made up of ordinary people, not wolves of the Great Desert.
Soon Calian took out what was in his pocket and held it out in front of Alan. Alan recognized what it was and asked with a sad face.
“Did you have the same thing?”
They were two pebbles and were not the ones Calian was carrying. The reason it was recognizable at a glance was because the colors were clearly different.
The two pebbles, one dark gray and one slightly lighter gray, were exactly the same in shape as the one Calian was carrying, except for their color.
“One was destroyed. Because the heart was broken.”
Although he said it as if it was regrettable and not a big deal, the meaning behind those words was not that light. Because the other two were said to be inside a intact heart.
“They say that once you run out of life, you can’t use it twice, so I don’t think there’s any need to touch other bodies.”
Alan let out a short sigh.
Calian continued speaking as if he hadn’t heard that sound.
“I don’t know anything other than that…”
After hearing that, Alan walked in front of Calian. And I held Kalian, who had not yet fully grown up and was still smaller than Alan, in my arms.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Then he patted Kalian on the back and said this.
Because it sounded exactly like the soothing sound of a fifteen-year-old child, Calian, who was buried in Allen’s arms, laughed softly.
“…Yes, Master.”
The hand patting my back was so warm.
