Reborn as the Enemy Prince - Chapter 259

Chapter 45. There was a day when I stepped inside a rainbow

to see the sea (6) .

I did it because I was curious about what it would feel like to go inside. If you stand in the world and look at a rainbow, you see all the colors, so if you look at the world inside a rainbow, wouldn’t you see only pretty colors without black? There was a day when I went to the end of the rainbow with that thought in mind, stepped on it, and ended up being disappointed.

– Shoot…

A loud sound of water was heard and water droplets like misty rain splashed onto my face. Two rainbows were floating in the spray of the waterfall falling from the edge of the cliff.

‘At that time, I was probably around the same age as I am now.’

Calian chuckled as he recalled a memory from an unknown day.

This is because the silver-white horse standing at the water’s edge looked around for a moment while drinking clear, cold water and saw Plants moving to the end of the rainbow.

‘All the thoughts at this age are the same.’

Kalian, who was thinking of saying something like, brother, you will only be disappointed if you go in there, just kept his mouth shut.

What does that name mean, how long is Lucy’s waist, and what’s going on with Bern. It seemed like this was the first time I had seen him curious about something other than this, so I just left it alone.

That guy, like a sprout of barley that hasn’t been exposed to much sunlight, will be disappointed or get a memory instead of being disappointed. I thought it would be better than what was built inside the palace.

‘So in the end, Your Majesty did everything wrong.’

Not only did they name him Plants, but he didn’t even take them outside, and he didn’t even let a single cat into the spacious royal palace, so he ended up creating such a troublesome cat.

Even now, when I go home, I have to look at the corn silk, which is more than just the barley sprouts and definitely not less, but now that I think about it, I’m the youngest.

ah.

I suddenly feel hungry for a drink.

“I don’t think you’re listening to me.”

“I’m listening. I said let’s make a deal. I’m thinking about it.”

Calian, who responded to Siona’s words, took his gaze away from Plantz, who was inside the rainbow and was opening his palms. I saw crazy people going into the water of the valley and breathing fire.

“… Why on earth are you trying to set fire to the water?”

“He said he was thinking about it.”

“I’m thinking.”

Ignoring the look in Siona’s eyes that asked if it was a bit strange for you to understand at a glance the reason why the water spewed fire, Calian turned his gaze away from the wizards and looked towards the knights. People were seen resting by leaning against wooden poles or sitting on rocks. My clothes might get wet, but the fire-breathing crazy guys over there will take care of drying them, so I just felt like resting.

Still, it’s fortunate that there are people who aren’t crazy.

If it weren’t for the knights, Raven would have been the most rational.

“Actually, there are three things I hate.”

Calian looked one more time at the prince in the rainbow and the wizard shooting fire in the water, then opened his mouth, stroking the back of Raven’s neck with particular care.

“Elves. Fighting with elves. Trading with elves.”

Calian, who said this, smiled brightly and looked at Siona.

“But if the elf who pointed a sword at me said he came because he wanted to make a deal with me, I would either like it or not.”

“I guess you forgot that before I was an elf, I was a warrior of the great desert.”

“Oh. And I don’t like the wolf of the great desert following me, or the wolf of the great desert attacking me. You eat so much on your own, so I’ll either like it or not.”

Siona closed her mouth for a moment.

First of all, he wasn’t paying much attention to hearing stories from the prince, who seemed to be twenty years younger than him. Regardless of social status, the race was completely different, so it is not something to worry about.

So Kalyan just kept talking.

I thought it was okay to do this since it was my fault for attacking him with a knife first.

“I can find out where the elf city is hiding, no matter how many days it takes. And it’s hard for me to ask for my information and cobblestones in exchange for a vague promise that we will investigate together about Zeon.”

I will help you find the elven city and share the results of your investigation on Zeon. Please give me what Calian has learned so far and the black pebble he has.

Siona, who found a bonfire lit by Calian’s group on the way out of the elf city, said she came to Calian to say this. After meeting him, I felt like a hero and started fighting, but that was the purpose of finding Calian anyway.

And as soon as the word ‘deal’ came out of Siona’s mouth, Calian left the room, got up, ate breakfast, and walked away again. Then I saw water flowing under the waterfall, and the horses had stopped for a moment to rest.

Calian continued speaking with a smile on his face.

“How did you know I had that stone and that I was after Zeon? You didn’t even tell me that.”

“The reason I can’t tell you exactly is because I don’t completely trust you either, and the reason I’m talking about making a deal is because I don’t want to take it from you by force, but I don’t think there’s any need for further explanation.”

“You say something interesting, Siona.”

The small laughter was barely audible over the sound of the waterfall.

Calian’s eyes were filled with cold energy.

“You stole it. I didn’t kill it because it was still painful. Why do you say that when you know it too?”

Siona nodded without much reaction.

Because of this, Calian was a little surprised inside.

In fact, Calian couldn’t see Siona’s auror right now. And when Siona saw Calian, she said, ‘black hair and red eyes.’ I recognized Calian by his appearance, not by his Auror status.

That meant only one thing.

The two have the same or similar auras. This means that neither of them can see each other’s aura.

However, Calian did not notice Siona’s approach until he heard the sound of the bell made on purpose. So Siona must have known the same thing.

“Well, I said something strange.”

“You’re too quick to admit it.”

Nevertheless, I thought it was surprising that Calian obediently acknowledged that he had saved his life. Because some of the bad elves that Calian encountered did not want to bend their pride.

“It’s a problem in the Great Desert. As you know, the power of a group called ‘Zeon’ is extraordinary. After the chief of a tribe in the Great Desert with whom I have ties asked me to find out about them, the people I was chasing recently killed your men. “I attacked them and they were killed by you. When I looked at the bodies of the people you buried, I found that their hearts were all torn apart.”

“…You mean the ones who attacked Sir Hertz?”

I remembered killing those who attacked Arsene in the forest and burying them all before Alan came. I did it because I thought Alan would pay more attention to them than Calian if he saw them.

It seems that Siona confirmed the body that was so deliberately buried.

“That’s right. Then, a month ago, I met another group of Zeon guys here and fought and killed one of them, but something similar happened. If I had remembered the guys I met with you, I wouldn’t have stabbed my heart, but I couldn’t remember, so I was crushed like a stone. I broke up with them. “It’s been over a month, and I don’t think it will be easy to find the tail again, so I thought it would be better to share the information with you.”

In the end, it was said that the stone was needed for the same reason as Calian.

In fact, this is something that Kalian welcomes. Anyway, I already had several of the black pebbles in question, and if I investigated in the Great Desert, I might find slightly different information.

There was just one problem.

“Tell me how I should trust you.”

“I don’t know, but elves don’t lie. Mother Tree hates lying.”

When I told him that he didn’t like elves, he answered that they were great desert warriors, and when I said that he didn’t trust elves, he said that he wasn’t lying because he was an elf. Calian frowned as he remembered the guy who freely passed between the prince and the vice-captain whenever necessary.

Siona, who was lost in thought as she was looking at Calian and couldn’t think of any other way to make him trust her, spoke in a serious voice.

“If that doesn’t work, you have to fight and take it…”

“Could you use magic instead of your sword?”

He’s so aggressive that he seems like a wizard.

Seeing Calian laughing at this thought, Siona opened her mouth again.

“I know it’s a dangerous item. Even if it falls into their hands again, it won’t make much of a difference, right? In that case, it would be better to investigate it together.”

Calian patted Raven’s saddle and thought for a moment before opening his mouth.

“I will do that as far as exchanging information I learn in the future. Instead, I need time to think about passing the stone.”

Calian’s finger pointed to the bell hanging from Siona’s sword.

“I’m not sure if wearing that is confidence or arrogance. There’s no guarantee that you won’t use the stone’s power in strange ways.”

Siona frowned.

Calian added, tilting his head slightly as if he didn’t care.

“I’ll guide you to where the elf city is. It doesn’t seem like there’s much to do, but I’ll do my best to help you until this job is over. If you like it, I’ll give you what you want. How about that?”

Siona said while weighing the pros and cons of catching up with them again and getting the stone after following them around for the next few days or getting the stone after following Calian for the next few days.

“Okay, let’s do that.”

“good.”

In the end, Calian, who had made his second deal with the elves, added a word as if it was an important issue.

“Ah. If you like grass, take care of your own food. I don’t know.”

Siona nodded.

The fact that I was raised by a Great Desert warrior from a time I couldn’t even remember, and that there isn’t much grass in the Great Desert. Therefore, he omitted the statement that he was an elf who was good at eating meat.

* * *

Calian, who was listening to the sounds of rustling grass, opened his mouth.

“Congratulations.”

“What?”

“Thanks to Siona, won’t we be able to return to the palace sooner?”

In any case, the time spent wandering around looking for the elf city was reduced.

Plantz nodded without denying and opened his mouth as he saw Siona walking far ahead.

“Isn’t it worth believing?”

Calian looked at Planz.

Plantz opened his mouth again because he had the expression he sometimes makes when he hears something he doesn’t understand.

“He could have taken the group hostage and threatened them, but he didn’t.”

“Are you talking about the early morning incident?”

Plantz nodded.

Instead of taking the Vulcan crew or Planz hostage, he went out in the open and started the fight and got to the point, so if he has that kind of personality, you can just trust him.

It would have been more advantageous to have Siona in a situation where they were going to talk to the elves, but it was unbecoming of Calian to argue with them for so long and not hold hands. Didn’t the mysterious Randel and Plantz join hands without any doubts?

“I can’t threaten you. Because the moment you put your hand on my fence, you will die.”

Plantz chuckled.

That’s great confidence.

“It was because she was an elf. Not all elves in the world are like Hina.”

“That means there are elves like Hina.”

Of course, Hina was a half-elf.

“Have you learned how to teach now?”

Anyway, Calian understood Plantz’s story just now, saying that there were elves like Hina and Sia, so there was no need to despise all elves.

“All right. I will look and think without prejudice.”

“Okay.”

Calian nodded with a laugh and then asked a question.

“Brother, what color did you go in there to see?”

“Color.”

“Rainbow.”

“No.”

“Then why did you go in?”

“To check.”

“Can I ask what you checked?” “No.

” “Yes

.”

I had no intention of touching the fact that I didn’t want to say anything, so I nodded without hesitation this time. In Kalian turned his gaze forward.

“To check that the water isn’t leaking.”

To his younger brother who didn’t ask twice, Plantz said,

“You’ve been checking all this time, right?”

“I don’t know.”

There was no need to bother all day . Calian, who had wiped off the grass once more, opened his mouth and said,

“Even if the surrounding area was all grass, the peas are the color of peas. “I don’t listen to the grass.”

“The surrounding area is grass, so he barks without covering it. My brother.” “He

usually barks better outside.”

I was very puzzled as I listened to the mysterious conversation that Needlen, who was coming from behind, kept popping out at any time. I didn’t see the expression on my face.

In fact, it would be correct to say that I didn’t care.

Even though I’ve been living in that gorgeous Brisen up until now, I was probably the only one who understood that Planz was confirming that he was Planz, so I looked at the other people’s expressions. There was no need to look or activate Silence.

“Here it is.”

As I was walking along the path, one side of me holding back and the other barking, I heard Siona’s voice.

Before I knew it, Siona was standing in one place waiting for the group.

Look up . Calian, who nodded, was the first to go in front of Siona, and Needlen came in front of Plantz instead of Calian. Siona was the

first to set foot in a certain spot in the forest and disappeared in front of the group.

It had already happened before, so Kali. Ahn followed him in without hesitation. And after that, Needlen and Plantz, all the crew members went in.

“Ah.”

A short sound came from the mouth of an unknown person.

It was both an exclamation and an expression of surprise. “

It’s fascinating. The village I visited last time wasn’t like this, but the city is a city.”

Calian expressed his appreciation and the others did not say anything more. It would have been correct to say that everyone was speechless. It reminded me

of the crystal glasses that were placed on the dinner table.

Under the magic lantern . It reminded me of a chandelier sparkling in rainbow colors all over the place.

There was a tree in the distance, shining in all directions under the transparent sunlight. A tree so huge that it seemed as if it was as big as the perimeter of the Kairis Palace. Inside and around the tree, The city of the elves was before my eyes.

And behind it.

“… The sea.”

The sea was so vast that it seemed far away.

“Yes. In the end.”

Calian, who entered the forest and faced the sea, answered Plantz’s words in a quiet voice.

“I came to see the sea.”

As if he had stepped into an imaginary rainbow.

Just one step from the forest, he entered a completely different world. As if I had entered.

Calian, who had been staring at the beautiful figure for a while, opened his mouth.

“Anyway, how do I burn that?”

I thought it was a tree because it was

called a tree. First of all, it is not the same tree as I used to know.

I came to this place . Plantz, who had said to ‘get rid of prejudice’, chuckled at the words that did not forget his intended purpose at all. The knights swept the handles of their swords with a look of solemn determination, and the wizards, including Needlen, fell into deep worry

. A group of elves approached from nowhere, and

Calian’s red lips drew a dark line as he prepared to bark.
