Reborn as the Enemy Prince - Chapter 249

Chapter 44. So that I don’t forget (3),

I met Lemain.

I also met Gray Brisen, who arrived in the capital in a hurry.

It’s not completely better, but I wanted to show Alan that I’m still walking around with my eyes open, and talk about giving Hina, Arsene, and others who suffered this time a rest for a few days, but Alan, who went to see Euria, hasn’t returned yet. So I couldn’t do both and just left a message.

Kalian, who worked hard today for tomorrow, returned to Chermil.

Of course, the wound hurt and he was still hungry, but he was feeling okay, so Kalian was standing on the terrace without Yan knowing.

Autumn night. I feel like the wind has become a little thicker.

As the wind blew, a voice that could be heard at any time was carried along with it.

-Thank you for letting me know in advance. Prince Calian.

What Plantz found out.

Secretia: How exactly did you find Devlan’s bird? And I contacted Chase to let him know in advance how the bird would be used at Kairis the very next day.

Since it was a matter related to Sejak, it was bound to have an impact on the relationship between the two countries. I was worried that Chase might pay attention to that, so I sent a message.

– Could it be that the bird that infiltrated the Balkans was also involved this time?

– no. Since I was someone who only played the role of Jeon Seo-gu, I think I told my teacher to leave me alone.

While Kalyan was distracted, it seemed that Plantz had told Alan about Chase’s mission. Thanks to this, the three children who really only played the role of Jeon Seo-gu were still safe.

– okay. Actually, now that I can contact him like this, I thought about letting him return to his home country, but I decided to leave him behind just in case. Instead, I told him to stay well while receiving diligent training there.

– If you are called, please be sure to say hello and leave on your way back. For some reason, I feel attached to it. I will send you a farewell gift.

Kalian, who told the story about Devlan’s Sejak and also joked about the harmless Sejak acting like a real bird, remained silent for a moment.

Siona Hill.

Another Sword Master.

‘Shall we talk now?’

Calian, who was wondering if he could find out his whereabouts or get help, shook his head.

‘Completely unreliable.’

Since it was unknown where the information about Calian leaked and reached Devlan, it was difficult to hastily announce that Calian was currently looking for Siona.

of course.

It is not a distrust of Chase, but a suspicion of Taylan Castrin.

He was a close friend, a respected teacher, a swordsman, and currently a knight of Chase, but was once Devlan’s bodyguard. He was also someone who knew everything about Calian after hearing it from Chase.

‘Once it is confirmed that it can be trusted. ‘It would be better to ask then.’

Therefore, Calian said something other than about Siona that was a bit difficult to say to Chase.

– And I contacted you because I thought I should tell you some other news.

– yes. Talk about it.

– I got a little injured while dealing with Marquis Briesen.

-……You’re hurt.

Chase’s voice changed completely.

Calian, who laughed so loudly that no sound could be heard, continued.

– I think you will be very surprised if you find out through the birds, so I would like to let you know first that you are recovering well.

– To what extent were you injured? Is it severe?

Severe.

I can’t eat.

– no. It was just a slight grazing. Thanks to Hina’s healing and blessing power, I am recovering quickly.

Chase answered in a voice that made it difficult to guess his mood.

– You wouldn’t think I would be surprised by that. What should I do if I’m still so bad at lying?

– Oh, that’s how the story goes. Actually, I was injured more seriously than slightly, but I am currently recovering.

Even though I wasn’t looking directly at his face, I felt Chase let out a long sigh. It was obvious that he was worried, so Calian let out a short breath.

Chase spoke in a cautious tone.

– I heard from Lord Castrin that Prince Calian’s skills would be better than Marquis Evan Briesen, but how did you end up getting hurt?

– During the fight with the Marquis, a young child jumped out. I glanced at it and suddenly my old memories started mixing together. The memory that came out without preparation overlapped with reality, and I momentarily forgot that I was a different person.

Calian only gave other reasons, excluding the fact that he was reminded of Bern’s past.

Even Evan swung his sword at Silike right in front of me.

Because it is impossible to confirm what Plantz really thinks of Evan. I wonder if I might end up doing something similar to my own relatives again.

I ended up thinking about it during the fight.

– Then, without realizing it, my hand stopped.

A person who Kalian explains without having to say it.

Chase, who easily guessed who the little boy he just mentioned resembled, answered.

– I think I know what’s going on. This has happened to me often too.

Chase was probably the one who had the most experience of having memories that were difficult to completely claim to be his own popping up and shaking his head.

– I try not to open my memories before I opened my eyes again in this place, so when they come to me for a moment, I am startled against my will.

– I don’t know when my memories will come back, but Prince Kalyan’s won’t. Wouldn’t it be better if we opened up all our old memories and there wouldn’t be any surprises? Now that I know everything about what memories I have, I don’t think there will be anything to worry about.

– yes. I think so too. Still, I can’t open it all.

– Can I ask why you don’t want to open it?

Stopping your hands during a strawberry-filled meal, not being able to continue speaking during a conversation, and forgetting your sword during a fight. Why do you leave it as is, knowing that it would be better to open and check all of the old Calian’s memories rather than suffer losses due to such incidents?

Calian answered in a calm voice.

– I’m glad that the memory pops up. I know that the child has already left, but I have a happy illusion that he is still with me.

When I first opened my eyes in this place, I remember the time when I was shown the memories I was curious about, and when the memories pop up like this, I feel like the child is still alive with me just like back then. I couldn’t let go of that joy, so I couldn’t open all the memories.

– And I’m worried that if I live with all the memories open, I might forget even a small thing… I think it’s my job to leave the memories that the child had as their own. I am staying as is because of my desire to keep it well so that I don’t forget anything.

If I open up all the memories of the old Kalian and make them Kalian’s, in the end only Bern and the current Kalian will be left in this place, so I decided to live with the memories that used to belong to the old Kalyan as an empty space.

– Because it is precious. Even if there was a lot of pain.

A similar feeling to Chase’s refusal to let go of his memories of Verne.

Although the circumstances and methods were different, the feelings were still the same.

– I’m not being smart, but it’s not something I can understand. Prince Calian.

– Is that so.

So Chase understood the foolishness of it.

– However… I hope that you value your body as well as your memory.

– yes. I will be careful. I’m fine now, so don’t worry too much.

A terrace overlooking the moon floating on the shaking water and the waves shimmering like stars in the moonlight. I closed my eyes for a moment as the wind seemed to blow from there.

– Still, it’s not that bad.

Chase, who had been silent for a while, started crying like this.

Kalian, who was trying to figure out what was not a bad thing, heard Chase’s words again.

– I don’t know if you remember, but ‘I’ said that a long time ago. I… am your older brother, so I should be worried.

‘I am your brother. Not you. I should be worried about you.’

A word came to mind that I had not forgotten even a single word of.

Calian closed his eyes tightly after hearing the sudden words.

– …… yes. You once said something like that.

– Back then, I didn’t give myself much space to worry, but now I’m finally getting the chance. It may not be a good thing to say after being seriously injured, but it was still unfamiliar to me and I was glad to hear it.

Calian laughed quietly after hearing why he brought up the past. As I said, Bern never once in his life said he was hurt.

To live with someone else’s worries. okay.

Because just surviving alone was already a difficult life.

– It looks good. I hope they continue to give up their seats to those around them like that. They say they are hurt, they say it hurts, and sometimes they ask for help. I know how strong Prince Calian is and I know that he will solve anything. I hope you don’t forget that both strong people and others who watch them are ultimately the same person.

Chase was happy that someone who couldn’t say he was hurt was the first to say he was hurt, so he made this request.

– yes. I will never forget it.

– Of course, that doesn’t mean you should get hurt again. Don’t get hurt.

Calian laughed.

– I will definitely remember those words.

* * *

A night full of windy conversations passed.

As the day dawned, Lemain urgently summoned the nobles living in the capital. Although it was a sudden call, the nobles who had been watching the events surrounding Briseen came without fail with no dissatisfaction on their faces.

Lemain, who was standing in front of the nobles with expressions of interest, worry, and concern, finally opened his mouth.

“As a result of the investigation so far, we have confirmed that the Secretariat of Secretia infiltrated the royal palace through Marquis Evan Briesen.”

A problem that is never light.

It was revealed that an informant from another country was wandering around the royal palace, not anywhere else.

As Alan said, the royal family’s problems were not something that happened in a day or two, nor were they just one or two. Although it is a little better than in the past, it is still a well-known incompetence. And for the first time, Lemain directly acknowledged the mistake and announced the confirmed details.

“We have also confirmed all the evidence and testimony that there is a connection between the Count of Secretia and the Marquess of Evan Briessen, Viscount Lennon Briessen.”

Gray Brissen will take care of preparing the evidence that Evan Brissen attempted to attack the prince and the plausible evidence that Evan and Lennon were connected to Secretia’s Secretariat.

It’s okay even if the evidence is weak.

Isn’t this the place where Brisen has come to an end? Even those who were on Brisen’s side would not be so distraught that they would ask the king to show them where the evidence was.

It’s the same thing.

If Briesen was the proof so far, the Kairis royal family will be the proof in the future.

The lengthy content that followed was delivered to the nobles not through Lemain but through Chamberlain Raoul.

– Lennon prepared the poison, and Evan handed it to the second prince with the help of Sejak. The 2nd prince found out about this and informed the 3rd prince. The 3rd prince, who was secretly trying to find out the inside story, discovered Evan Brissen, who had already died after being attacked by the three men.

A blindfold created by moderate truth and moderate lies.

A blinder that is better than the perfect truth that cannot be believed or a complete lie that cannot be questioned has been revealed.

– The 3rd Prince was also almost in danger, but Balkan and Siegfried arrived in time and escaped major trouble. Afterwards, Lennon burned down Evan’s mansion to destroy evidence.

In order to inform Evan and Lennon’s crimes, to show that Balkan is a decent army, to reveal the alliance between Plants and Calian again, to show off the close relationship between Calian and Siegfried, and to inform that Calian was also injured, the third prince must have used excessive force. To reduce fear.

The explanation of the situation with many purposes has ended.

Lemain opened his mouth again.

“The Kyris royal family appreciates the courage of Margrave Gray Brissen, who first identified evidence of this incident and informed the royal family, and his sincerity in closely guarding the border of Kyris. “We have decided not to punish the family. Therefore, we allow Margrave Gray Brisen to inherit the title of Marquis.”

Both together and together.

I’m going to maintain the family where Pea will go to raise cats in the future, and I’m going to save Gray, who will run that family for a while.

“However, we have decided that severe punishment is needed for the crimes of Evan Briesen and Lennon Briesen, who dared to threaten the prince’s well-being by plotting to infiltrate Sejak. We have decided that Evan Briesen and Lennon Briesen’s titles will be revoked, their castles will be restored, and Lennon Briesen will be revoked. “I order Sen’s death sentence.”

Let me end my life as a commoner whom Evan and Lennon so particularly despised.

I’m going to take ‘Brisen’ from their names and forever cut off the blood ties with Plants, who I only called upon when I needed to.

“In addition, the Kairis royal family will never condone Secretia’s actions, which had the greatest impact on this incident. Accordingly, until there is a clear explanation and a just apology from Devlan, the king of Secretia, all transactions, including traffic between the two countries, will be halted. “It is strictly prohibited. If we want to maintain amicable relations between the two countries, King Devlan of Secretia must quickly reveal his position on this matter and how to handle it.”

To give Kalian and Hina a reason not to go to Secretia.

To let Devlan know which country’s king Lemain is, whom he had been ignoring.

Both together and together.

“I feel a bit sorry for Baron Fallun.”

After putting an end to the matter related to Evan through Lemain’s words.

Calian, who took on the role of the three righteous princes who were convalescing for a while after getting injured a lot while dealing with a number of secretaries of Secretia who suddenly encountered him alone, smiled leisurely.

“Because of this incident, the ruby transaction with Secretia has been disrupted, so I need to see if there are other business partners and provide some help.”

The diamond trade with Tensil was blocked due to Calian, and the ruby trade with Secretia was also blocked due to Calian.

Of course, regardless of whether the deal was successful or not, it was Calian who saved Melfir Fallun’s life, and it was thanks to Calian that the deal was made in the first place, so he was not overly sorry.

“And… since we have blocked King Secretia like this, I have to go and scare the elves as planned. I can’t go out of my way to treat King Secretia just in case.”

“Speak informally.”

“That’s not possible. But thanks to my brother’s great care, I won’t be a candidate for a tyrant in the future.”

“I didn’t write it.”

“Yes. I will say so. So, have you decided?”

“yet.”

“Please decide quickly. I will be disappointed that only Lucy has a name.”

“you.”

“yes.”

“Why did you come?”

“To eat.”

A day has passed.

I came up to eat meat.

“I’m tired. I’m going to sleep. Go.”

“I don’t like it.”

“Aow!”

“Niaong!”

As if he hadn’t heard that he was tired, Calian held the gray kitten in his arms and said, ‘Butterfly, apple’, as if urging him to quickly name it. My younger brother’s spoiled servant was watching as if it was a normal thing for the kitchen servants and maids to put various foods on the table.

Today too, a dish made with soft, ripe onions, minced beef, grilled flat, and topped with cheese. Stir-fried pork with a very slight ginger flavor. Duck meat rolled in cabbage marinated in lemon juice and vinegar. A dish grilled with white mushrooms and string beans. Not very salty. Salad with cheese and blueberry sauce.

And soup with peas.

Plantz, who had been looking at the soup for a while, which had a color similar to hair rather than eyes due to mixing it with the cream sauce, called out to Reric.

“Put it away.”

Our prince, who couldn’t eat bell peppers or undercooked onions, looked like he couldn’t even eat peas. Reric quickly put the soup away.

“Why can’t you eat it? It’s delicious.”

Pretend you don’t know anything. Kalyan, who was eating the bluish soup without smiling, asked.

It’s obvious.

I am taking revenge on the meat and peas I ate yesterday.

Plantz, who was frowning, turned into an annoyed face.

“Why did you come? Again.”

“Didn’t I tell you?”

“No.”

“Then why are you tired?”

Plantz, who swallowed duck meat with a face that didn’t look much different from usual, answered.

“don’t mind.”

“You haven’t been able to sleep.”

Plantz did not answer.

Calian put down his fork and knife for a moment and looked at Planz.

“I had a conversation with Prince Chase yesterday, and one thing came to mind.”

Whether he killed it himself or not.

A person died before my eyes.

“It must have been my first time seeing those eyes. I thought there was no way it was going to be okay.”

Just like Bern, who was sick for several days with his dying eyes still appearing. And yet, like Vern, who told Chase that it was no big deal when he asked why.

“I am teaching you how to use a sword, so I think there will come a day when I will take my own life. I have no intention of stopping that, but if you are having a hard time, please tell me. Even if I have never comforted you, I will listen.”

After speaking, Planz looked at Calian, who was picking up the meat in front of him and eating it, then nodded once with a calm face.

It is said that he was unable to sleep due to the work he had done the previous night.

“I’ve looked into the eyes of people who are about to die, but it was different.”

“When have you seen it again? It’s not a pleasant experience.”

Planz, who had lost his appetite because he said such a thing in front of food, put down his fork and knife and opened his mouth.

“The criminal that my brother caught. On the day when Lenicita leaves were laid for that man.”

– Boom!

Calian slowly moved his head and looked at Plantz.

I had the illusion again that I heard my heart pounding.

“Are you talking about the person I captured during my Rosellita period?”

“okay.”

“…… man.”

Plantz, perhaps feeling strange about Calian’s reaction, looked at Calian without saying anything more.

Calian was laughing.
