Reborn as the Enemy Prince - Chapter 258

Chapter 45. To see the sea (5)

– rattle.

Black hair and red eyes.

It’s you.

– Kaaaaang!

The air was torn apart.

A flash of light poured out from the dark red sword.

Instead of embers from a bonfire that seemed to rise one by one over the lake, there were sparks that seemed to bounce from lava that would never cool down.

– Kaaaang! Kaang!

An eerie light flickered continuously.

Several sword strikes took place in an instant.

‘Please stay back.’

Calian’s words were heard at the same time as the bell rang once more. After that, it was a sudden sight that unfolded before my eyes.

There was no way to understand the situation. While the wizards, including Needlen, unfolded a huge shield and the knights surrounded the wizard, more than a dozen flashes of light illuminated the darkness and then disappeared.

– A rattle.

– Easy profit! Kaaaang!

Calian’s appearance was not even visible.

The wizard’s field of vision was too narrow to discern Calian’s shadow in the darkness, except that the other person’s pale pink hair occasionally appeared as if it was shaking and then disappeared.

– Kagang! Kang!

The sound of black robes fluttering, the sound of bells that disturb your ears, the sound of kicks hitting the ground, the roar of swords clashing together. A low voice was heard between them.

“Turn off the lights. Just keep the shields on.”

As soon as the words were spoken, Needlen’s bluish electric current that had been flowing over the shield and emitting a faint light disappeared. Water poured out from a transparent sphere that had gathered over the campfire.

– Chi-ik!

The brightness that illuminated the surroundings completely disappears.

The remaining ashes from the fire were submerged in water, giving off a unique sour smell and slowly disappearing.

– Kaang! Kaaaang!

Darkness fell.

In the even narrower field of view, two shadows met again.

To an ordinary person, the imperceptible darkness could be a hindrance, but Siona was not affected by the darkness. So there was no problem swinging or blocking the sword.

And for Kalyan, the darkness is

– Kaaaaang!

It was a complete hiding place.

Before she knew it, the dark red auror blade flew in and stopped in front of Siona’s heart. The sword, which immediately disappeared from sight, stretched out from behind and grazed Siona’s neck.

I can’t see the sword’s path.

Immediately after completing the attack, it disappears as if scattered, and before you know it, it appears from somewhere and stabs you again, leaving no trace of a dark red or black trace.

– Kaang!

Nevertheless, Siona did not panic and raised her sword. I calmly blocked the sword that had grazed my neck a moment ago from flying at me from behind. The tip of Siona’s curved sword entered, aiming for Calian’s heart.

– A rattle.

– Flap!

Siona’s sword swung loudly.

At the same time, the hem of a black robe with its back to the moon fell from the sky.

The white hand that had been holding nothing suddenly held a sword.

– Kaaaaang!

The fight started without any conversation.

The two swords become entangled again.

“Vice Commander. Please come back.”

Needlen opened his mouth.

The shield was spread out to block all directions. Of course, the Sword Master’s auror cannot be blocked, but other attacks will be blocked.

– Kaang! Kaaaang!

Calian’s sword blocked Siona’s sword and immediately counterattacked. The dark red sword that slipped on the slightly curved blade disappeared from Siona’s sight.

“Vice Commander.”

Plantz opened his mouth at the second call.

“Just take a look.”

“yes?”

If you sense that there are other people around, I’m not the type of person to tell you to stay away. If it were a truly dangerous situation, he wouldn’t be the type of guy to fight wearing a robe. If there’s a situation where you need to be on guard, he’s not the kind of guy who will leave his group behind to fight the other person separately.

After turning off the light so that guy could fight more leisurely, there was nothing more to do.

“There’s nothing more to do, so just shut up and watch the two Sword Masters say hello.”

Dark red energy burst out like an explosion.

The hem of the black robe blended in the wind.

– Kaga River! Kaang!

One or two hours like that.

So much time has passed that I can’t even tell exactly how much time has passed. I didn’t check my watch, but one thing was clear.

They fought until dawn.

The fight did not end until the thick darkness cleared and the distant sky became as bright as the color of a wizard’s hair.

Considering the fatigue of the wizards, he had told them to raise their shields and be on guard, but this was around the time Plantz began to worry about whether he should tell them to stop being on guard.

– Jingle, jingle.

– Kagang! Kaaaang!

The sound of metal that had not changed at all shook the forest.

Even with the rising sun behind instead of the setting moon, it did not lose its dark red glow.

Planz, who was watching the two, frowned for a moment.

‘The smell of blood.’

This was because the smell of blood was gradually becoming thicker.

A sword master whose wounds may not have fully recovered.

A sword master wearing clothes that hinder his movements.

The fight between the two becomes a whistle. Even though he was wearing a robe, the other person was injured. Nevertheless, the reason Plantz, who was watching them, called them whistles was simple.

– Flap!

This was because a sound came from Kalian and the movement was visible, albeit blurry.

As Siona was injured and unable to use her full strength, Calian knew that she would not be able to fight him with her full strength.

– Shhh! Kagang! Kaaaang!

Calian’s sword, which blocked Siona’s attack as if stretched out wide, gave the illusion of being divided into several branches. Siona, who dodged the attack by biting off one foot, rushed forward. When Calian’s appearance disappeared as if he had been waiting, Siona twisted her waist and extended her sword.

Siona stopped moving. Calian’s black shadow, standing with his back to the sun, was finally visible. The dark red sword that disappeared as if scattered remained in my eyes as an afterimage.

I was dazzled by the rising sunlight.

A momentary silence came. and.

– …… Tuk!

– Jing!

The bell hanging from Siona’s sword handle fell to the floor.

“Sorry. It was loud.”

Calian’s voice was heard.

* * *

The sunniest part of the Wilhelm Pavilion.

There would be no better place than a sunny spot in this cold Kairisis. Hina’s office was located in such a nice place.

Anne, who had followed Lucy who had come to enjoy the sunlight, raised her front paw and pushed away the hand that was trying to touch her body.

When the hand that gently grabbed the front paw and waved it as a greeting moved, a sound of dislike came out of Anne’s mouth for a moment.

“Niuung.”

Now that all of Lucy’s fur had been brushed, it was Anne’s turn.

Therefore, Hina began brushing while gently appeasing the things she didn’t like.

Anne, who was trying to avoid having her fur brushed, stayed quiet as if she felt unexpectedly cool, and before long, she yawned.

By the time I finished brushing, I carefully placed Anne, who was completely asleep, next to Lucy, who was curled up on a thick cushion. Lucy, who made a happy sound as if she noticed that Anne’s gray fur had turned soft, moved her front paws, hugged Anne, and began to doze off together.

– Lucy is kind and takes good care of Anne. I think Anne, who learns from Lucy, will become a good cat.

Aela looked at the quickly written words and nodded once.

Hina, who visited the Wilhelm Pavilion early in the morning, noticed that the stomachs of the two cats who came to visit her were full, and picked up a comb instead of a snack. After that, Aila didn’t say a word while she finished brushing the cat.

– Do you want some tea?

“Green tea isn’t that good.”

Hina’s eyes widened at the words spoken like this.

Aila, recalling a similar experience she had experienced not long ago, opened her mouth again.

“I know how to talk.”

Veronica’s mouth opened because of the buttery lobster, and Hina’s mouth opened because of the bitter green tea.

– I’ll bring something other than green tea.

Balkan healer and viscount.

Such a healer’s escort.

But it was always Hina who got in the car. It wasn’t because she hadn’t gotten rid of her commoner habits or because Hina had a kind personality, but because Aila’s tea was so tasteless. Ayla’s car was even more of a mess than many of Jan’s cars that could be considered failures.

Just because you like delicious food doesn’t mean you’ll be good at driving.

The sound of bubbling water came from the water supply device that Calian had picked up and placed in Hina’s office, a gift from Alan that Alan had stolen from the Wizard’s Association’s treasure trove. In fact, Alan was able to make and boil water even if he didn’t have anything like that.

– I didn’t know you could talk.

Ayla shook her head after seeing the words written in handwriting as soft as the bubbling sound.

“I did it because I didn’t have anything special to say.”

Arsene, who brought Ayla, introduced us by telling us each other’s names. After that, Hina spent time talking to Aila about various things, and Aila did not open her mouth and only nodded in response.

– I thought there was only one person who didn’t want to talk, but there was one more person.

Aila laughed slightly after reading the playful words.

It was because I didn’t know who he was talking about. Even though he worked as a third prince, it was impossible to know what kind of personality the second prince, whom he had not yet met face to face, actually had.

Hina poured slightly cooled tea into a teacup and set it down in front of Aila.

Aila’s gaze fell on the tea, which gave off a faint scent. Hina spoke again to Eila, who was looking into the glass without saying a word.

– Isn’t the blue car amazing? I brought it because it seemed similar to my hair color. It’s a violet.

As Hina said, it was a blue and clear sea-colored car that closely resembled Aila’s hair color.

Eila nodded.

The white beads attached to the end of the hairpin swayed and sparkled in the early morning sunlight.

– I think that’s pretty.

Aila obediently opened her mouth to praise from Hina, who had seen her wearing a hairpin for the first time. Now that I knew he could talk, I realized that he was trying to get me to talk, but it wasn’t with malicious intent.

“It’s hard to show it. It may be pretty, but it’s not safe.”

Hina opened her eyes again and made an ‘ah’ mouth shape.

– weapon?

“Yes. It contains poison.”

Letting me know that it was memorization and what kind of memorization it was was a sign of Aila’s own trust.

– I’ve seen a lot of similar weapons, and I think this is the prettiest one I’ve seen.

And Hina said this, surprising Eila a little. I thought I was a person who lived without a stain, but if I had been, I wouldn’t have been able to say that I immediately thought of a weapon when I heard it wasn’t safe, or that I’ve seen a lot of weapons.

Hina, who was diligently writing something down again, showed it and smiled.

– Next time, please do something to show me.

A small laugh came from Aila’s mouth.

‘It’s still a good place.’

It was because I saw words connected by the shape of a mouth.

A place where two cats sleep on a sunny sofa. It’s a good place to come wearing a non-poisonous hairpin.

“Please teach me sign language. I will learn it.”

I thought that by the time I learned the language of the people I would be staying with in such a place, it would be a good idea to come with a hairpin that I would be happy to show around.

* * *

Calian handed over the bell in his hand.

Siona stayed still for a while and accepted it.

The drop fell with a small tinkling sound and was placed on Siona’s palm. After that, Calian received something from the knight and handed it directly to Siona.

It was a clean bandage.

“The smell of blood is strong.

“There is someone in the group who is very sensitive, so I would like you to cover it up a bit.” Plantz, who was sitting next to her, frowned, and Siona accepted it without another word this time and nodded. Calian was wondering if it was probably a sign of gratitude. He sat across from her and opened his mouth.

“I’ll help you if you need it.”

“That’s enough.”

Calian looked as if he was swallowing bitterness as he looked at Siona’s long, pointed ears filled with silver rings. Hina’s ears, which he said he had cut off himself, were still intact. That’s why the thought that it must have been like that occurred again.

Siona took off her outer clothes and roughly wrapped the bandage she had received on the thin black shirt she was wearing underneath. She then opened her mouth.

“Siona Hill.”

“I know.”

Siona’s eyes turned to Calian. Calian shrugged his shoulders and answered the unspoken words,

“I don’t need to introduce myself.”

After hearing the other person’s name, Calian knew it was his turn to say his own name. I only said this. It was just to get to know each other anyway, and it wasn’t an exchange of greetings because I didn’t know each other’s names.

Siona nodded and put on her outer robe. Kali looked at Siona starting to tie back the bell that had fallen on the tip of the sword handle. An asked,

“I need to explain. Why did you come to see me?”

“I wanted to see what the knife of the guy who cut Slayman’s throat was like.”

“I’m glad it’s an elf. If you were a human, you would have been executed for attacking the royal family, but I can’t arrest you.”

Siona chuckled.

“I didn’t think you were that understanding.” “I

‘m not alone now, and I’m less lenient toward the elves. That’s why. I want you to explain it properly.”

Calian answered with an amused expression and looked into Siona’s golden eyes.

“Why did you come?”

The forest was crushed by the deadly force that was strangling her neck.
