Reborn as the Enemy Prince - Chapter 287
Chapter 51. Is it because I’m in puberty? (2)
I had an odd question.
It’s difficult to realize it now, but if there’s one thing I’ve noticed, it’s that Devlan also laughs really well. And in that it was difficult to guess the meaning of that smile, it reminded me a lot of someone who lived downstairs.
– It’s an exchange… I guess I made a mistake in front of you.
So I suddenly got curious.
– It seemed that desperate.
If my brother’s rude servant were here, I wonder if he would know the true meaning of Devlan’s smile.
Are you laughing because it’s fun?
Or maybe he thought it was ridiculous and laughed.
– If I misunderstood, I apologize.
– no. It is not something that should be considered that way. You didn’t hurt my feelings, so why are you apologizing?
Devlan said:
Instead of getting angry at the second prince of a foreign country who proposed a deal with his life, he laughed. Very generous indeed.
– Anyway, what would be worth exchanging my life for? It would be difficult to get a reasonable price with just a few things… but I can’t think of anything right now. In this way, instead of making a deal, time just passes by, so if you find yourself wondering how to survive your life later, think about it again.
– All right.
Plantz gave an easy answer. And Devlan, who had been looking down at the plant for quite some time, left the place first without saying any more.
From the beginning, Planz did not expect Devlan to respond right away. After finding out that even my own child, Chase, has turned his back on me, I’m not the kind of person who would take the words of a prince from a foreign country whose identity I don’t even know.
If that were the case, I wouldn’t have had to drag Kalian all of a sudden to this country. Rather than trusting Plants, he would have either implanted Zeon’s Black Cobblestone in his heart and healed it on his own, or gone to the Elven City to receive treatment as Elder Narzan said, so there would have been no reason to come to see him.
However, I don’t know what Calian was talking about with Devlan, but I think it’s clear that he was so crazy that he didn’t even notice things like puberty, so he didn’t speak the language of someone full of correct and kind words. That’s why I brought this up because I thought it would be a good idea to get Devlan’s attention back on Calian. It was good to have more income than that, but it was okay to not have it.
After Devlan returned, when Plantz returned to the annex after taking a leisurely walk.
“Nice to meet you, Prince Plants of Kairis.”
I gained a truly unexpected piece of income.
One of the knights guarding the annex blocked Plantz’s path and spoke to him.
“I have something urgent to tell you.”
“… It seems that the knights of this country do not bow their heads even if they stand in the way of the royal family.”
The other person said it was his first time seeing Planz, but it wasn’t Planz. He was more memorable because of his unusually uneven face.
“sorry.”
“That’s it.”
A few months ago.
Plantz recalled the face of one of the Chase escorts who had been looking for Kairis, and looked at him with drowsy eyes.
“say.”
Are you Devlan’s or Chase’s?
Or maybe it’s both.
While evaluating it.
* * *
Whether or not Plants met Devlan during the day.
Whether one of the knights who came to Kairis went to visit Plants or not.
“two.”
I caught two and there are two left.
Calian rushed towards the brown-haired warrior, then suddenly changed direction and disappeared, instantly piercing the heart of the blonde warrior who was attacking from behind. At first, the two warriors saw Calian who attacked only one person persistently, but then immediately changed his fighting method, and briefly widened the distance between them.
Calian’s head turned again through that gap.
‘I think so much during the fight.’
It’s to die for.
Just recently, during a fight, I made a mistake and ended up with a hole in my stomach, so I got scolded by Hina and couldn’t even eat. Kalian did not forget the hunger of that day. To be precise, I must say that I did not forget the meat that went into Planz’s mouth that day.
Anyway, I needed to concentrate and not think about random things, but my mind keeps spinning.
‘I don’t understand at all. ‘What on earth?’
Isn’t it Calian, who doesn’t hesitate when it comes to carrying a sword, but never enjoys it? And the person who probably knows next to Alan how Calian feels about getting his hands dirty is Plantz.
Isn’t Planz the kind of person who would plan a situation like this just to hit his younger brother in the back?
As a result, my mind kept thinking of other things.
– It seems like Siren or Grace used magic. I haven’t heard what Prince Planz said to the two of you.
What was the story that Plantz, who heard about Calian’s conversation with Devlan, secretly passed on to Kiri? Why and how did Plants lead Zeon, and why did he keep it a secret from Calian?
“No way… Are you really saying it’s puberty?”
I don’t think I was like that at that age.
– Boo!
As Calian continued his fleeting thoughts, the sword of a brown-haired warrior flew in front of him. Unlike a double-edged sword or a single-edged sword with a smooth back, a jagged saw blade replaces the back of the sword.
Calian’s pretty brow furrowed slightly at the sight of whatever was caught on the sword once it was pierced.
“You have terrible tastes.”
Calian muttered softly and moved his feet.
– Kaaaang!
– Tadadadang kaang! Kaga River!
Unlike the two warriors who collapsed so quickly, the remaining two fought skillfully. And Kalian began to deal with both of them at the same time.
The brown-haired warrior blocked Calian’s attack with the serrated side and then twisted his sword to strike it away. Several saw blades on the red Auror’s sword broke off, but the warrior did not care.
If you block the front, Calian’s sword will come flying from behind you. When I turned back to block it, the blade fell from above my head. In the meantime, daggers and magic flew in, and sword strikes continued without stopping. Since the brown-haired warrior didn’t have time to come to his senses from the minor wound that he didn’t know when it had occurred, he focused all his attention on blocking Calian’s attack.
When the brown-haired warrior walked away for a moment, another warrior with gray hair pulled out a magic bullet and threw it.
As soon as the sound of something falling on the sand was heard, Calian’s new form disappeared.
– Kwaaaaang!
A tremendous roar resounds like the sound of waves on the sea during a typhoon.
Calian, who opened his shield and escaped the aftereffects of the attack, turned his head for a moment and looked towards the distant beach.
I saw Arsene.
Arsene was not involved in this battle. This means that instead of helping Kalian, we have to stop Plantz.
“me too.”
The red lips draw a long arc.
“… I know how to do that.”
The wind gathers.
In the midst of the darkness, the wind blows.
– Saaa…….
A vortex of mana gathered towards Kalian. A reddish black cloak fluttered here and there.
The two warriors, knowing full well how foolish it would be to give a wizard time to cast a spell, closed the distance. At the same time, the sand between Calian and the warriors rose up.
– Quaaaa!
A column of wind the size of a human body rotated menacingly in one direction and pushed the sand away. Calian, who blocked the warriors’ view with three tornadoes, kicked his feet again and spun around, launching himself between the rising pillars of wind.
At the same time, the gray-haired warrior stretched out his sword, aiming for Calian’s neck.
– Quagwang!
Then the compressed wind exploded beneath the gray-haired warrior’s feet, scattering sand in all directions.
The gray-haired warrior instantly leapt backwards and landed with both feet in the distance. The hem of the warrior’s clothes were torn to shreds after being swept away by a force that could not be determined from a tornado or an explosion.
Calian lightly spread his shield to protect his body from the attack he exploded, then deflected the sword flying forward and turned his head to the side. Four red daggers were created behind Calian and flew towards the brown-haired warrior. It had attracted the attention of the gray-haired warrior who had not yet returned to the vicinity.
-Ssam!
– Ta-da-da-dan! Kaaaang!
I dodged three of the flying daggers through the crazy sandstorm, but one grazed my neck. Before he could even frown at the stinging sensation, Calian’s sword flew in.
– Kukwaang!
Another explosion exploded from under the feet of the gray head who was running towards where the two were, but the gray head, who had expected the same attack to come, had already escaped from there and reached Calian’s nose.
Calian, who was looking at the sharp tip of the sword being swung towards him, moved his body. A gray-haired sword strike passed where Calian had been standing a moment ago, and along with it, a thin spear of wind flew towards the gray-haired warrior’s neck.
– Kaaaang! Kang Kaga River!
– Kaang! Kagang!
When the gray head bites one foot, the brown head’s saw-like sword flies towards Calian. When he struck it away, the gray-haired long sword was aimed at Calian’s neck once again.
– Kaang!
-Ssam!
Magical power containing physical power.
The wind spear sent by Calian is blocked by the gray-haired warrior’s sword and flies away and disappears. Before they could even follow the movement with their eyes, the red Auror sword rushed towards the two once again.
The gray-haired warrior hurriedly bent his back and dodged the red sword in response to the barrage of attacks that seemed as if they wouldn’t even give him a moment to breathe. Then
– Kwasik!
I heard a creepy sound from behind me.
The gray head droops down after realizing the situation. Long braided brown hair was visible. The thick red blood that flowed out covered the saw-filled sword that had fallen to the floor.
“…… three.”
A thin voice reaches the back of the gray-haired warrior’s neck.
* * *
Escort driver.
Arsene, who appeared between Plants and Secretia’s guard knights given by Devlan, smiled slightly.
Arsene, a wizard who liked to fight close to his opponents, knew that if he went into that place where Calian’s red sword embroidered its colorful path and ran around excitedly, he would be in danger of losing everything. So, I stood next to Plants from a distance and thought about tying the feet of the remaining warriors.
– Quaaaa!
This is because I felt the magical power of the wind gathering.
It wasn’t long before several tornadoes were seen forming between Calian and the two warriors. Since they said there was enough room to leave the Aurors behind and use magic, I decided not to hastily intervene.
I was well aware that if one of the remaining guys who had clumsily offered to help turned towards Plants to catch Arsene, Calian would pretend to catch that warrior and catch Arsene as well.
-Ssam!
Of course, this does not mean that it stayed still.
Arsene thrust an ice spear in front of the feet of the guard knights who were approaching him and looked at the knights while smiling viciously.
“This is Arsene Hertz, vice-captain of the Vulcan wizard group of Kyris.”
After that, I introduced myself no differently than any other day.
Knights of Secretia.
To be exact, it was directed at the two knights who thought Calian didn’t know their faces and were now standing in front of the other knights.
“If you come even one step closer, I will consider it an attempted attack on the Kairis royal family.”
Plantz opened his mouth to Arsene, who gave him warning-filled words using the power of his position as vice-corps commander, which he had given back to him to put to good use.
“It won’t be dangerous.”
“I know. Would a guard knight be crazy enough to attack the royal family?”
“But why?”
When asked why he was threatening the knights of Secretia, Arsene let out a short sigh and opened his mouth.
“Perhaps this situation will go as expected by the vice-captain, the prince’s older brother . Is that correct?”
“Except for the blue-haired crazy wizard.”
“Did you know that you were going to leave Xeon?”
Plantz, who frowned at this question, listened to the sounds of Calian’s battle coming from afar for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“Lord Siren.”
“The president of the association is not coming here.”
“Why?”
“Vice-corps commander, the prince.”
I didn’t fully expect Zeon to come, but I had prepared for it. But instead of the two wizards, a blue head came. Then, the question was answered. Without saying anything, he called out to Planz.
“Tell me.”
“I saw the bracelet shining. If you were planning this to call the Crown Prince of Secretia out of the palace, he won’t come. The knight Sir Bern remains in the royal palace. I don’t know what the nobles of Secretia wanted to do in the palace while the crown prince was away. Whatever the reason, it would be better to consider the goal achieved by confirming that Zeon is involved with the nobles of Secretia.” Plantz did not respond
to the small voice that could not be heard by the knights.
“It is not something that can be ignored anyway. It’s the same. “The back of my head hurts so much.”
Instead, an answer came from somewhere else.
Calian, who had just taken his last breath from the last warrior, was standing behind Planz.
Calian also heard Arsene’s last words. So Calian didn’t know what to do at this moment. Got it.
Calian walked briskly and stood in front of Plantz.
Red light gathered at the tip of his hand again.
“Explanation.”
The cool blade of the sword touched Plantz’s neck.
A voice colder than the blade flowed from Calian’s mouth. A deathly sound that was colder than the voice rang in Plantz’s ears.
“… Do it, brother.”
A thick drop of blood flowed down the red blade of the sword and
fell onto the sandy beach.
