Reborn as the Enemy Prince - Chapter 239

Chapter 42. The heart (6)

Feelings of shame, guilt, and anger.

A person who should not be able to enjoy anything to the fullest lowered his raised arm weakly.

I was persuaded.

No, back to reality.

The wizard who saw this quietly opened his mouth.

“Good idea.”

As Lemain returns to reality, the execution of the knight who was subdued by Kyrie after having his tendon cut by something sharp is postponed. It was thanks to him regaining his senses after hearing Alan say that he had to be kept alive for a while because he had to conduct an investigation.

Alan said to the two wizards who brought the knight.

“Take me out.”

One of the wizards looked at the knight’s roughly wrapped wound and then looked at Alan and asked.

“I’m bleeding. What should I do?”

It was a wound inflicted by Calian.

So that knight will never die. Because there was no way it could have caused wounds that were serious enough to kill me.

So Alan answered briefly, as if he didn’t even need to see the knight’s wounds.

“There is no need for treatment.”

Those who no longer need treatment.

The one who will stand on the Renicita leaf in the square.

The wizards who understood the meaning of the words bowed their heads in greeting and went out with the knight in tow.

After that, Lemain looked up at the ceiling for a moment and opened his mouth.

“……Kaera.”

This was followed by a deep sigh at the fact that a problem had occurred in a place that, although not as safe as Arpia Palace or Camilon Palace, should have been safe enough.

okay. Chermil Palace is a safe enough place.

At night, the place comes under Cispanian protection. A barrier-like protective magic is activated in the corridor surrounding the entire Chermil Palace, including the lake and the back garden. So, unless you have Alan’s level of ability, you can’t invade from the outside.

That was the reason and basis for not allowing princes to have personal guards, but Lemain ignored this and sent Caera’s knights to Randel and Plantz as escorts. And today, an accident occurred involving the escort driver who was sent that way.

“Kaera’s escort driver.”

Lemain immediately lowered his head, looked at the small black pouch in his hand, and spoke in a low tone. Then, I tried to open my pocket with my own hands, which I had been told not to touch because it was dangerous.

“I entrusted this to Prince 2 and told him to hide it in Prince 1’s room.”

It is said that people from Brisen were mixed in the king’s personal guard. They placed them in the prince’s residence without knowing that fact.

Everyone knew it was Lemain’s own fault.

“Evan.”

I could barely stop myself from bursting out laughing. I found out that Evan, who had borrowed the hand and mouth of an escort driver, was trying to use Planz.

He gave my son poison again.

I couldn’t protect my son again.

“What is the situation?”

Lemain, who closed his eyes, sighed, and put off swearing at himself for now, asked Needlen who was standing next to him.

Needlen, with a calm face, began to report clearly.

“All of Caera’s knights have been disarmed, and the Balkan knights have been prevented from making any hasty moves. All Balkan wizards are on guard on behalf of the knights. The 1st Prince is in Chermil Palace and his health is in good condition. “The Second Prince is being protected by Vice Commander Hertz at Wilhelm Pavilion, and there is no change in his situation.”

In case of emergency, the king cannot be in the same place as the prince.

This means that Lemain will not be able to leave Arpia Palace immediately to look after Randel’s anxiety or be by the fallen Planz’s side. I don’t want to be killed while we’re together.

After Needlen, who continued to report in as much detail as possible on what had been confirmed so far, went outside, Lemain, who was left alone with Alan, finally revealed his true feelings.

“I messed up again.”

“Please leave the obvious aside.”

At this moment, the mouth of the wizard who would never comfort him opened.

As it is under the direct control of the King, it is an area that Allen cannot touch. Because it was a problem for the knights that Lemain completely ruled.

“You made a mistake again. Your Majesty, the most productive day of your life is probably the day you do nothing, so just stay in a corner somewhere. Would you feel better if I told you something like that?”

The words were not kind.

“Do you know that I have come to this country to witness the shocking incident in which a knight from the King’s Guard harmed the prince? Everywhere I look, my student, who looks as beautiful and pitiful as ever, is struggling to fill the gutter that Your Majesty has dug, and is withering away inside. “Do you know that I have lived until this day just to see you? I’m sorry, I was wrong, I thought it was short. Do you think that all these useless things that say things like that every day are so precious that they are put up like this?”

In fact, it was never kind, but it was harsher than any other day.

There was no way that kind words could come out of the mouth of Alan, who not only knew the ins and outs of the numerous problems that had arisen due to Lemain so far, but also had no idea where Calian might have been going at this time and for what purpose.

No, I didn’t think this would be such a nice thing to say.

It wasn’t magic or fists, just the fact that he was speaking with his mouth was something sweet to Alan.

“A knight of the King’s Guard being taken care of by someone else. Sispanian would make a big fuss about it, saying it’s really fun. I can’t even guess with my head what he’s been doing since he lives so busy with work every day.”

Only one year has passed since Kalyan arrived.

I don’t know that it’s still too early for many things to change, so I’m using my mouth instead of my fists and using my magic. He is a king, a father, and is lacking in everything. Still, I will try to fix him.

I don’t know. This country and the two remaining princes are too pitiful to let go.

“I understand. I’ve seen who my actions have harmed.”

After answering this, Lemain closed his eyes and fell asleep.

“Yes. I understand that you must not know everything about what the Marquis did and what the three princes went out to do. Don’t worry, I won’t do anything hastily to the Marquis’s house. Instead.”

And then it popped up again.

Because I shouldn’t have closed my eyes any more, as was my habit.

“I’m worried that the 1st prince may be paying attention even if he doesn’t show it right now. I’d like to meet him for a while and watch over the 2nd prince. Is that okay?”

As Alan looked at him without answering, Lemain continued.

“I know I shouldn’t be sitting with the prince at a time like this, but I think my hair will stay attached until the count himself takes it off.”

That’s right.

It seems that the green-looking bastard lying spread out, thinking that Calian would somehow save him, is the offspring of this cow-like bastard.

“… That’s what you do.”

One short sigh and one laugh.

Alan, showing complicated feelings, nodded and stood up.

“I will take good care of you so that none of you run away into the hands of someone else.”

* * *

Please wait a moment.

I’ll be back soon.

Raven quietly raised her head at the whispered words. He must have realized that he shouldn’t make a loud noise, so instead of his usual ‘purr’ response to such words, he did so.

Actually, I thought about bringing a horse other than Raven, but I just rode Raven in preparation for when I met Evan and returned to the palace.

– Multi-faceted, multi-faceted.

Raven hid herself in the darkness with the faint sound of the horseshoe carefully stepping on the ground.

Calian, who had pulled down the hood of his black robe, took a deep breath with all his might.

A habit I developed after smelling the fishy smell of the sea that I received as a birthday present. It was to fill my lungs with the clear night air before the other fishy smell I would soon smell.

– Bruises.

After completing a short preparation, Kalian’s feet stepped on the floor.

One small step, a little bigger, one big step, two strides. I wondered if my strides were getting bigger little by little.

– Taaat!

In an instant, he kicked off the floor and jumped high, and the hem of his black robe sank into the shadows and disappeared. A dark red energy burst out, coloring the area behind it and then disappearing together.

The residence of Marquis Evan Briesen.

A magic lantern that was lighting up the high outer wall, reminiscent of a small castle wall, went out.

The moment the soldier who saw it from a distance blinked, another light appeared next to it. And one more thing. One by one, the lights began to go out, as if they were being submerged by surging waves.

That night, when the cool wind blew around the outside of the palace.

Like a sand castle being swept down by a quiet, huge wave, the fire that lit up Evan’s castle went out from one corner.

No sound came out.

[Abtondant]

Blue-haired wizard.

Did you originally speak the starting word when using magic?

It’s a spell I don’t use often, so I use the starter word.

When you wake up, go to Calian.

[Sleep]

I have to ask…

* * *

“Did you learn magic well?”

Relic’s voice.

Plantz sat on the sofa and looked at Relic for a moment before closing his eyes.

A kitten sleeps on a soft cushion next to her, and Lucy in her arms makes cute sounds as always.

I did that because I was too lazy to answer, but Reric spoke again.

“Prince, are you very tired?”

Something I’m not used to.

A voice filled with concern.

“I hope you don’t overdo it and learn magic. We can clean up all the cat hair.”

“I told you.”

I reacted angrily to the fact that the guy living downstairs was thinking the same thing.

“It’s not because of that.”

“Aeowong!”

“Niaong!”

Even the guy who had just woken up joined in and took Plantz’s side.

This is it.

Are you saying that you are going to tell them so that they will believe that it is not true, or are you going to interrupt them so that they will never believe you?

Plantz slowly opened his eyes and took a deep breath.

“I’ve prepared a bath for you, so take a bath and get some rest. Also, you have to go see a horseback riding performance tomorrow, so please let me know if you’re feeling unwell.”

“okay.”

Plantz, who answered briefly as always, stood up. Reric, who was watching that scene, opened his mouth again.

“Would you like a cup of tea to drink while you take a bath?”

“…… okay.”

“Yes. I will bring it to you right away.”

In the quiet room after Relic left, Plantz picked up Lucy and laid her down next to the kitten. Then he took off his jacket and placed it on the sofa.

–

Then someone knocked on the door.

Relic would come before long, so it was something that could be ignored, but Plants, who had somehow gotten used to being without an attendant for a while, opened the door without thinking about it.

The escort driver was standing.

“what.”

“I have something urgent to tell you. Could you please give me a moment, Prince?”

Plantz, who looked at the article for a moment, nodded.

As I took a step back, the driver took a step inside and closed the door. If I had locked the door, I probably would have been suspicious, but I didn’t.

Soon the driver opened his mouth, handing Plantz a black pouch in his hand.

“Please leave this in Prince 1’s room.”

Before I could even see what it was.

“This is a message from the Marquis of Briesen.”

“…… under.”

I laughed out loud.

The driver was looking at Planz without saying any more. It will be waiting for an answer.

Plantz slowly closed his eyes and opened them.

To hide the thoughts going on in my head at an alarming speed.

The only thing Evan could think of was a familiar method. I would have no choice but to follow Silike’s method, so in the end, this thing I held in my hand…

“It must be poison.”

The thoughts that have been blocked for so long burst out of my head out of control, completing a huge puzzle.

Calian summoned Gray. Evan, wary of Gray, brought out Lennon, and Calian made it seem like Gray and Randel were holding hands. Evan’s butt was shaking due to his relationship with Duke Siegfried during the Chu Sung Ceremony.

– Number of cases.

I created a variable.

“It would mean that I should set a trap for my younger brother and sister with my own hands.”

They pretend that Randel was preparing poison to send to Calian. Afterwards, Evan kills Calian.

He prepared poison for Calian, but when Randel realized too late that Calian would no longer be poisoned, he made it look like he had summoned anyone, whether a wolf from the great desert or a holy knight. In this way, the blame for murdering Calian is placed on Randel and Gray.

Of course people and Lemain will be suspicious of Evan, but it doesn’t matter. All we need is proof that Randel and Gray tried to harm Calian by coming out of Randel’s room.

“It would be difficult for this alone to be complete evidence.”

Plantz asked a question while he continued his thoughts.

“There is no need for evidence. Brissen will be the evidence.”

Since when did you become a person of Brisen?

Was he Brisen’s person from the beginning?

“As always, Brisen is the proof. Without Prince Calian, it will be so again.”

The knight answered this way.

Plantz laughed.

“When will you be available?”

While the driver urged him to answer, Plantz slightly closed his eyes. My thoughts swirl once again as I take a short moment to guess the date.

‘Should I receive the poison bag and inform Calian?’

The oath may be broken, but Calian and Randel will be fine, so should we do it? What if two people collide and something goes wrong with me? He will definitely go that way and attack Evan, and I just have to hold out for that long, so I guess I will do that.

“… I guess this isn’t a betrayal.”

Plantz, who felt that his heart was still intact despite continuing his plan to kill Evan, drew the knight’s attention once more by talking to himself.

That’s how I bought a little more time.

‘What happens if Calian kills Evan?’

He must have come up with a way to kill Evan without being punished, but if he gets poisoned like this and kills Evan first, all of his plans will be ruined.

If he is not careful, he becomes a criminal for killing Evan for no reason.

Even though I know that, I will hit Evan.

I know that kind of guy. I know it too well.

‘You must not report it directly.’

At least it should be proof that I received this from Evan and that engineer.

To do that.

‘rather. Right Now.’

Plantz took a breath.

I looked at the knight and took a deep breath with all my might.

“Run away.”

The knight, who did not understand Planz’s words, frowned.

“Run. My brother will be here soon, so jump out the window instead of down the hallway.”

Jump out the window.

To make it easier for Calian to catch him.

“I am my younger brother.”

To make a way to live with what I have in my hands now.

Let the guy who caught you, killed Evan, and saved me live too.

“To ensure that he ascends to the throne.”

I gave up my life with all my might.

“Because I’m going to buy it.”

– Excited!
