Reborn as the Enemy Prince - Chapter 185

Chapter 32. My Sword (3)

The clear green tea had a faint floral scent.

For quite a long time, I felt the scent of flowers, which seemed to be quietly touching the end of the not-so-luxurious tea scent, or like flowers blooming in full bloom next to me.

Even though it reminds me of a flower blooming alone on a rock, it also reminds me of small flowers blooming in a field like snow falling. So, the tea had a scent that suited Hina very well.

– How you doing?

Hina, who was waiting for the teacup to be served, asked this question. With those words, Lucy came to Demirea’s feet and hugged her. Demirea, who was feeling fortunate to be wearing bright ivory pants, smiled involuntarily.

“It’s always peaceful.”

Demirea, who gently patted Lucy’s back, answered:

Rather than an answer to the question of how you were doing, it was an appreciation of the feeling you always felt when encountering Hina. However, I thought that might be the answer, so I just said this without adding an answer to the question.

In fact, the reason Dmirea is with Hina now is because the knights who had been prepared through Count Aizen Eifrin arrived at Dmirea’s mansion yesterday.

Originally, they were an order of knights created to replace the royal knights, and this was the power that Plants tried to give Calian, but in the end, they would become Plants’ sword.

Demirea, who visited the palace, informed Calian that they had just arrived and that they had come under Siegfried’s shield without any problems so far. And I made one more request that I had been putting off for a long time.

‘Sparring?’

There was no need for Dmirea to come to the palace in person to tell a short story about the knights, but she went in person to stop the conversation about the too few encounters of ‘fiancés’ and to spar with Calian. It was true.

However, Calian, who looked at Demirea for a moment as he asked to spar, shook his head.

‘You can’t take my sword with that hand.’

As Calian said, Demirea’s hands were a little messed up right now. It was because I had been trying a bit too hard to get used to the sword, which had recently become one level heavier.

Thanks to this, my application for sparring was rejected again.

If anyone saw it, Calian smiled and said after seeing Demirea, who looked like she had been rejected, as if she had asked her out on a date.

‘I don’t want you to end up like me. I read books, play the violin, and call Jan over to chat.’

He looked like he was treating his younger brother like a nephew and said something of concern, and then added another word.

‘It’s nice that my fiancé looks after me, though. I think you could be Siegfried a little more.’

do.

Just smiling with a disgusted face.

Of course, this did not mean that Demirea saw Calian with romantic feelings. If that was what he meant, Demirea would have challenged him to a duel rather than a sparring match. Dmirea knew that Calian was saying this because he was conscious of the deadly threat he sent out to the wizards when he last visited the palace. but.

A prince sword master of the same age with less training time.

For Demirea, who does not know what secret Calian holds, seeing Calian like this is bound to be both awe-inspiring and hurtful to her pride. Because of that, he was only swinging his sword a little harder, but he said it in a sly manner.

Then, out of the blue, he handed me some dried chicken jerky and asked if I could bring some to Hina on the way back. Thanks to this, I met Hina and started drinking tea together.

– Lucy It’s a snack.

Hina, who unfolded the carefully stacked papers with Jan’s hands, smiled slightly, looked at Demirea, and asked again.

– Have you done anything else during this time?

Although I received an answer from Demirea that it was peaceful, I asked the question because I thought there must be a reason why Lucy’s snacks, which were plentiful in Hina’s office, were sent to Demirea’s side.

“Yes. It’s the same as always. It wasn’t that big of a deal.”

There was a bit of a problem in that Slayman, who had heard the news that my son had become betrothed to the youngest prince, sent about ten letters asking ‘So when is the third prince planning to come to Siegfried’s duchy?’ It wasn’t really a big deal.

Since he hasn’t been sending any more letters since last week, it could be one of three things: he finally found out that it was a fake marriage, or he started sending the same letters to Lemain, or he stopped sending letters after being caught and scolded by Serie, but that’s not a big deal either. It wasn’t.

“I think we should celebrate more than that, Sir Verne.”

Demirea, putting aside the not-so-big story, looked at Hina and congratulated her.

Didn’t more good things happen to Hina than to Demirea? It is said that Hina was promoted to a position commensurate with her abilities, and Kirie was also ordained a knight.

– My brother likes it more than me. I just got a little bored.

Hina was still bored.

After Euria and Arsene returned, Veronica was no longer able to take a break from going to the academy, and thanks to that, there was even less to do in the morning when Veronica was not around.

“Is there anything better than a healer being idle?”

Because it’s a good thing that no one gets hurt. Moreover, if Aizen’s Knights were to join Vulcan in August, Hina might become busy from then on, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to relax as much as possible before then.

Therefore, Demirea, who gave that answer, took another sip of the tea that Hina had prepared, then put it down and said.

“It smells really good.”

Hina nodded and answered.

– The corps commander gave it to me. A gift from Riverne. They say it contains orchid flowers.

To be precise, what Alan gave to Kalian, Kalian gave back to Hina. When Kalian, who came to visit him, really liked the tea, Alan gave it to Kalian, and Kalyan saw that Hina, who stopped by his room, liked the scent, and sent it back to Hina.

I like Kalyan and Hina just like they were when I was born, so why can’t I give them some?

As a result of this strange love, Demirea once again put the green tea that had been given to Hina in her mouth and swallowed it. Hina, who smiled happily at the sight, pointed to Demirea’s hand holding the teacup and said.

– Would you like me to treat you?

Demirea shook her head and answered the question as she finally noticed that there were small and large blisters and wounds all over her palms.

“It’s better to just leave it alone.”

Dmirea’s sword was not yet as heavy as Slayman’s. I was gradually increasing the weight, but this time I got a little greedy and increased the weight even more, and I ended up with a lot of blisters like this.

– If it still hurts, please tell me.

Demirea smiled slightly when she saw Hina saying this. This is because he realized why Kalyan sent him to Hina. Calian would know that it was a wound that should not be treated, so rather than that, it would mean that he should take some time to catch his breath with his peers.

“It still hurts. But the blisters need to pop and heal to form calluses. Thank you for your concern.”

On the outside, Demirea’s hands were just small and pretty. But if you turn your hand over just a little, you will see that it is full of calluses and blisters. In fact, it was said that Kirie’s hands were softer, so what should I do with another explanation?

– My brother said that too. There are some wounds that do not require treatment.

Hina stopped talking like this and stood up from her seat and walked towards the desk. Then he took a small wooden box from the desk and handed it to Demirea. It contained the green tea with orchid flowers that I am drinking now.

If it was a gift from Rivern to Allen, it must have been a rather precious car. He handed it over whole without even taking it out. Hina moved her hand towards Demirea, who was trying to say that it was okay if she didn’t have to give everything.

– Even without treatment. I take a break sometimes. Drink it when you rest.

Instead of saying that Demirea, who was younger than her, seemed to have a too heavy sword, Hina just told her to rest.

“Yes. I will.”

I don’t know if she understood everything Hina said, but Demirea responded like this with gratitude for the unexpected gift. Hina smiled and nodded.

Planz is smart.

Once he sees something, he rarely forgets it, he changes his mind quickly, and he even has a good sense of humor. Thanks to this, I was able to learn and use many of the things Kalian taught me well.

“My brother is such a quick learner…”

Roasted paprika with green peppers Stir-fried green peppers mixed with paprika Green pepper and paprika salad Paprika juice made by grinding green peppers.

“Thanks to my brother for teaching me well.”

Because Calian had met Dmirea, it was late to deliver the message to the kitchen. I thought about doing that after hearing that they were already preparing a meal, but I didn’t expect Plants to do this.

“I didn’t expect you to use what you learned like this.”

no meat

Kalian said he didn’t like the lack of meat, but when he saw the extreme table filled with only green peppers and paprika, he grinned and expressed his impressions.

One corner of Planz’s mouth curled up because it didn’t look very pleasant to see the end of his words becoming blurred.

“Oh. I didn’t know.”

Isn’t Plantz still practicing the realization that to control a crazy person, you need to be a little crazier than that person? It was a menu that I carefully came up with with the thought that this would be enough to make anyone dislike it, regardless of whether there were foods he chose or not.

Yan, who was looking at the two, shook his head.

Then, he took Reric outside, whose eyes were still swollen from the outburst of emotion he had cried after eating with Plants yesterday. I was thinking that if I wanted to end this childish fight, I would have to either change the chef or call Hina and show her how stupid she is.

After the tired-looking attendants went outside, Plantz opened his mouth.

“Eat it, don’t hesitate.”

“Brother, you eat too. A lot.”

like that.

The war has begun.

I took the roasted bell pepper without making a sound and cut it in half, and various pieces of finely chopped paprika leaked out. Without changing his expression, Planz took a bite of the unidentifiable colorful grilled green pepper.

–

Calian put down his fork and knife with a sound he had never heard before. And then he quickly lowered his head. My shoulders were shaking again.

Laughter broke out.

Kalian laughed because he couldn’t figure out how to deal with the violent puberty that made him feel sick and brought him stuffed bell peppers with paprika.

“Ah… what should I do…”

Plantz didn’t say anything even though he was looking at that rude, rude, and frivolous appearance. I continued to eat the green peppers I was sick of as I was doing. I don’t know if I got used to it because it was grass after all, or if I just endured it and ate it, but anyway, I ate the planz without any hesitation.

The war-like dinner ended like that, with only Kalian, who was laughing so hard, not able to eat properly.

I was drinking black tea and it tasted like green pepper. Thinking that the meal must have been poor, Jan prepared a pancake with bananas, and it tasted like green pepper. I was eating a dessert made of small-cut strawberries covered in sweet sugar syrup and it tasted like green pepper.

Calian lowered his head again and laughed as if he were crying.

Plantz, who was leaning back on his chair and quietly watching Calian’s behavior, opened his mouth in a low voice.

“Say you won’t do it.”

Does it mean not to play with green peppers, not to treat them like children, or something else? It was something Calian couldn’t even fathom.

Calian, who stopped laughing after a while, asked a little later.

“What do you mean?”

“Feeling sorry for Renieri.”

After hearing those words, Calian responded with a quiet smile.

“…… Did you know?”

The current Kalian did not approach the matter of the old Kalian and Plantz. Whatever the reason, he did not even think about finding out, nor did he curse or forgive Plantz on behalf of the old Kallian. So other than that, it was another matter. Old Kalian

. Excluding the internal matter, if we just look at the current relationship between Planz, Kalian, and Silike. Was it Silica that

made Plantz hate the scent, or was it Silike before even rebuilding the relationship with Silike? Was it Calian who pushed Ke out?

Even if Planz had agreed, even if it was a matter of Calian’s life. As a result, getting rid of Silike, who was Plantz’s biggest shadow and light at the same time, was it good or

hypocrisy

? What he was saying was to not go to the extent of overprotection due to thoughts. This was also not an issue that one party could understand, forgive, and simply add and subtract. Calian, who looked at Plantz for a moment, quietly answered, ”

Yes

. ”

Plantz nodded. Then he pointed to Calian’s hand, or rather, the ring on that finger.

“There is no need to treat him the same way.”

What he is saying is that you should not treat yourself the way you treat Chase.

Plantz said he would protect his heart, but he pounced on Chase. Hiding it from Plants. Doing things that make it so he can’t get angry when he finds out the truth. Don’t do it.

Allen said it’s because Calian only knows how to do that. He said it’s because he took on everything on his own and only learned how to protect Chase.

Why would Calian do anything like that? Plants doesn’t know. I don’t know why he took it upon himself.

– There are things you can do

because you don’t know. As Hina once said, you can do things because you don’t know. There is no need to know and understand everything and heal all the wounds like that and move on. Isn’t there?

“I know how to roll from the ashes.”

Calian lowered his gaze for a moment.

The red eyes slowly lowered and stopped.

“… Yes.”

Calian looked down at the thing in his hand for a while and then let it out. Plantz

answered briefly in a voice like that. Then he opened his mouth again.

“and.”

Planz, who was looking at Calian looking down at the ring, finally said the last thing he wanted to say but had been holding back.

“Green pepper. I hate it.”

Calian, who raised his head again and looked at Plantz blankly, burst out laughing again.

Thanks to the meal Planz prepared with great care, Kalian also started to dislike the same thing.
