Reborn as the Enemy Prince - Chapter 298

Chapter 53. Seemingly irrational (1),

the royal palace of Secretia was different from that of Cairis.

Fortunately, unlike Hatsuara, Great King Secretia was a rational person. Thanks to this, the palace was not built to the extent that it required carriages to move to each building. The same was true for Rivern and Tensil.

So, to be precise, it must be said that the palace of Kairis is different from that of all other countries. All other royal palaces consisted of one large main palace and annexes, or three or four buildings including the official palace and residence palace.

Of course, that didn’t mean the palace was small.

The other two countries might be similar, but the royal palace of Secretia was also not small. In terms of common sense, this place is also sufficient to show the majesty of the royal family.

‘It will be difficult for my brother to move to the annex.’

Therefore, it was not entirely wrong for Planz, who had become very arrogant overnight, to say something as if he was worried about his younger brother or showing great generosity.

A huge rectangular main palace surrounded on all sides with a water garden in the middle. The first annex is located a little further after passing the main palace, and the second annex is located a little further. Kairis’s companions were staying so far away.

‘I think I need another place to rest.’

In addition, Plantz made this request:

It wasn’t that Calian couldn’t walk to the annex, it just meant that he couldn’t trust the security of the annex located in the deepest part of Secretia’s royal palace.

– I don’t know if you’re saying that you don’t trust us or that you don’t trust my brother, but please let us stay in the main palace as you wish.

Isn’t it true that they need to stay in a safer place, whether from Secretia, who immediately attacked them, or from Calian, who was dissatisfied with the sudden decision to become crown prince? So Devlan listened to Plantz’s request.

In fact, he had planned to have the group stay in the annex and keep an eye on them, but that idea was abandoned due to the news that ‘Allan Manasil, who suddenly came to the palace, called Prince Planz the crown prince.’

So it was a familiar place that I was able to come in and out of.

And unfamiliar steps.

The decoration was made up of white marble plates with intricate patterns carved on black marble. The hallway wall, which appears to have white patterns embossed on a black background, is extremely beautiful.

It was full of a completely different kind of beauty from the Arpia Palace, with its walls carved in gold and platinum, but Kalian was not distracted by the decorations on the walls. Because it was such a familiar place that there was no reason to look separately.

“Prince.”

“Yes, Master.”

However, walking this hallway with one of only three archmages on the continent was very unfamiliar to Calian.

“If you’re having a hard time, would you like me to give you my back again today?”

That unfamiliar feeling was so comforting that Calian shook his head and smiled.

“You can walk. It’s okay.”

“If it gets too much, just tell me. I’ll give you my back as much as I can.”

“Yes. I will.”

It’s enough to have fallen asleep with a glass of Himolica and been carried away once already. Because of his injured body, he had no intention of riding on Alan’s back instead of Kirie’s.

Therefore, Alan clicked his tongue again as he watched Calian walking slowly after refusing.

“In over 50 years of living, I have never seen a wizard as upset as the prince. It’s normal for him to wander around without paying attention and then come back hurt here and there, so what can we do?”

“I’m sorry. I will be careful from now on.”

“You have to be careful. An old man can never live with peace of mind because if you take him away from your arms, he will come back without a single healthy place. If one of the prince’s mistakes is made, there will be thousands of lives lost. How can you always forget that? .”

Alan clicked his tongue again.

The knights of Secretia stiffened their shoulders as they felt their lives being cut short by that sound.

This robe is sure to be one of the top three on the continent in terms of splendor, as its elaborate decorations increase in proportion to the number of circles it has. Aren’t the words spoken by the wizard wearing bright red robes truly terrifying?

“I will never forget you, Master.”

“From now on, I will make sure that the two knights stick together, so never separate them. When I go far away, I will also take the prince with me, so please know that as well.”

Either that or not.

Calian, who was just happy about the unfamiliar feeling of hearing his father’s worry-filled nagging in this familiar place, smiled and answered again with a listless face.

“Yes I will.”

Whatever it is, there is only one conclusion.

Wherever Calian went within the Secretia royal palace, two of Kairis’ knights and Alan were to go together.

It was not for any other reason, but ‘Kalian’s teacher, who cares for Kalian beyond his thoughts, decided arbitrarily out of concern for Kalian’s safety,’ so there was nothing else to say about it.

“By the way, would you really feel better if you went to meet the crown prince of Secretia?”

“I heard that the concubine suddenly collapsed, so Brother Chase must be very worried, so it’s difficult for me to rest comfortably.”

Wasn’t it none other than Devlan who allowed Kairis and his party to enter the main palace? Devlan, the only person who could keep Calian and Chase from meeting, was now meeting Plantz.

Therefore, there was no way to prevent Calian, who entered the royal palace of Secretia, from immediately finding Chase’s location, and from Alan and Kairis’s bodyguards following his steps.

– The materials Arianne has are now kept by Lord Hertz. Unless this is known, people here will not know why my mother ended up in such a state.

– What do you plan on doing about it?

– I hope Master makes a move. While I’m meeting my mother, my brother will finish his private meeting with Devlan and come out. Please follow in your footsteps and meet Devlan. There are a lot of things to talk about related to the Wizards Association.

Instead of the nagging and worries that came and went on the outside, a more serious story went back and forth in my head.

– Would it be okay to waste time by requesting that Rachel and Siren be taken out?

– yes. Meanwhile, Lord Hertz decided to return here. While I meet my mother and you meet Devlan, you and Chase will move on to the next task.

– I will.

“Anyway, I can’t win against the prince’s stubbornness. After you meet His Majesty the Crown Prince here, I will not allow you to move anywhere until you are completely healed, so please know that.”

“all right.”

Calian, who had been coming up with appropriate answers to Alan’s constant nagging, stopped.

Instead of the red-robed wizard standing next to him, his old teacher, wearing a dark gray knight’s uniform, stood in front of him.

“Lord Castrin.”

“It is difficult for you to come outside. Since you said you would inevitably meet us inside, we will take you inside.”

“All right.”

After saying this, Kalian took a step forward. At the same time, Alan also followed Calian’s footsteps. Then, Teilan blocked Alan’s path and opened his mouth.

“Only Prince Calian. We will serve you.”

“I’m sorry, but I’m watching the prince’s escort right now. It’s difficult to be apart, so what can I do?”

“This is not just your place. I ask for your understanding.”

It would not be easy for Calian, a prince from a foreign country, to enter the place where Louise was lying. At least Calian asked Chase’s permission to enter, but the others did not.

Calian turned his head to look at Alan and opened his mouth.

“Don’t worry about me, please meet His Highness the King of Secretia for a moment. I think we should talk about Siren Siren and Lord Rachel.”

Alan, who heard Calian’s words, looked at Teilan with a not very pleased expression, and opened his mouth, pointing to the two female knights in front of him.

“Please accept the escort of two knights. I cannot completely trust the people of this country.”

Teilan, who thought for a moment, nodded in place of Calian and gave an answer.

“Please do so.”

A situation was created where Alan, who had been surrounding Calian so much, had no choice but to stay away for a while, and the two knights stood in front of Louise with Calian.

“See you later, Master.”

“Always be careful.”

“All right.”

After saying hello to Alan, Calian followed Teilan inside.

Alan, who had been lingering in front of the door for a while after leaving Calian in the care of his former teacher who had taught him the sword, made a face as if there was nothing he could do and sighed. He then left with the other knights, leaving only Kirie outside the door.

Alan had to meet Devlan while Calian did his thing.

* * *

“There are a lot of surprises today. I’ve been wondering whether I should worry about something happening to Kairis.”

“Worry…”

Plantz, who sensed that Devlan’s tone of voice had changed somewhat, nodded and accepted the words without showing any special expression. Then he closed his mouth for a moment and lifted his teacup, as if he was choosing what to answer. Then, as if something suddenly occurred to him, he stopped moving and put it back down.

“I’m glad you seem to have time to worry.”

“There’s no reason why I can’t take my time.”

“His Majesty, the King of Secretia, had no reason to be worried about Kairis. There was no misfortune against His Majesty or the crown prince was taken away with a sword, so you don’t have to worry too much.”

“Yes. If the investiture is no problem, I can congratulate you with peace of mind.”

“Rather than that, I would like you to first tell me that I can drink tea in peace.”

Louise, the biological mother of Crown Prince Chase, is in the midst of death.

Even though it was a private meeting that Plantz had requested first, Devlan’s attitude was extremely calm. So, I was alert with my actions and also with my words, saying, ‘It looks like you have some leeway.’ Nevertheless, Devlan was checking Plantz’s situation, completely excluding any talk about Louise.

“Oh… right. I didn’t mention that.”

“That’s right.”

“I didn’t know you cared about that.”

‘Don’t touch the car, but tell me first that you know what happened to your mother. Instead of being dragged around by Devlan’s words, brother, continue to lead.’

“Isn’t this a situation where we need to be careful in many ways?”

“Yes, I guess so. I completely understand.”

Devlan nodded and smiled, pointing to the teacup in front of Plantz.

“Don’t worry, I didn’t mess with that car.”

Devlan said nothing about Louise.

Therefore, Planz slowly closed and opened his eyes without looking at the teacup.

“What about other things?”

“It’s something else… I don’t know. No matter what I do, there is no way you can feel completely at ease. However, since you are a precious guest who may come again at some point, I will try to take care in many ways to make your stay a little more comfortable.”

“I think you’re focusing on the wrong place.”

Plantz slightly raised his arm and pointed to his waist.

“I think there needs to be an explanation first as to why you did this.”

“It sounds like you think my hand touched the sword that was pointed at you last night.”

‘It doesn’t matter if you tell me you’re hurt. You can hold them accountable and show your displeasure.’

“Is there anything in Secretia that you cannot reach?”

“well. “I am not the kind of person who would reach out to just anyone.”

“That is why I believe that Your Majesty’s hand has reached me.”

When you told me that you are not someone great enough for me to bother to do harm, I thought you would bother to bother and do harm. The answer was that it was a person great enough to wear it.

Devlan let out a coughing laugh.

Devlan, who had been laughing for a while like a person who heard an interesting story, looked at Plantz. Plantz continued.

“Actually, I am disappointed in Your Majesty . “I have done a lot of things.”

“What could have disappointed you?”

“I saw your narrow-minded generosity in offering a poisoned teacup to your concubine at the judgment of Your Highness, who could not deal with one of his younger brothers and was taken advantage of by people who did not even know who he was. How could you not be disappointed?”

Devlan did not explain that Louise’s car poisoning was something that Louise had planned herself. Instead, he opened his mouth again with an unwavering face.

“I am not a perfect person either, so it is inevitable. However, seeing that you are already disappointed in me because of something like that, it seems like you thought very highly of me in the first place… I guess my prestige has gone down a lot because of this incident.” “That’s right.” “It’s both a pleasure and a

disappointment

. That’s right. I’m glad that you thought so highly of me, and I’m sad that you were disappointed that I didn’t put my hand on you. It’s a feeling that’s hard to explain in one word. Lately, no one has looked at me so kindly. If I had known that your words would be so welcome and disappointing, I would have paid more attention to them. So what should we do about this….”

“I believe that once a mistake has been made, it cannot be undone. “I am disappointed in Your Highness, and Your Highness has no expectations of me. I will just stay for a while and then return, so I don’t think you need to worry about me any more.” Devlan nodded readily, lost in thought for a moment, and smiled a small smile

. Looking at Chae Planz, he asked a question:

“Since you came here alone, I think it would be appropriate for the return route to be the same. “What do you think about me paying attention to that?”

“Indeed.”

One corner of Planz’s mouth rose slightly.

He stretched out his hand. Then he lifted the teacup that he had put down a moment ago without drinking and took a long sip. .

“…… I wonder if you can care.”

Plantz silently returned the teacup to its original place and stood up.

“I’m tired. I will leave.”

That’s the end of the conversation.

This time, without asking for permission to leave first, he said hello and turned around and walked out.

‘I know how to risk mine to take your life.’

‘… Just as your highness’s other son did.’

Devlan, who was looking at the slowly closing office door, lowered his eyes slightly. A long smile appeared on Devlan’s face as he thought about Louise’s words. * * * Louise’s complexion was not good. She was lying on the bed with a pale face

,

but

Kali The curtain to hide Louise’s appearance from inside was not drawn.

Calian slowly walked and stood in front of Louise.

“I told you to go back. Calian.”

Chase, who was sitting next to Louise and lowering his head while holding her hand, spoke dryly. Calian looked down at Louise’s face for a moment without another answer, then turned his head back. “Hina.” He came in after

Calian

. One of the two escorts nodded and stepped forward. As he

took one step, his height decreased by about a span. As he took another step, his long dark brown hair turned silver. Then he took another step. Her physique shrunk, and with one last step, her tanned skin turned white. Suddenly, Hina, who had returned to her usual big, black eyes, stood next to Kalian. Hina, who had been looking at Louise from Kalian’s side, stretched out her arms. But the direction was different

. It was aimed at Calian, not Louise.

Hina quietly grabbed Calian’s wrist.

Calian, who didn’t know what he was doing, didn’t avoid the hand and just let it go. Soon, Hina did the same to Louise and then withdrew her hand. –

Caring The prince is worse.

Chase and Teilan cannot understand.

Calian raised his hand and very slowly made poor sign language.

– I am strong.

– I want to fix the kind prince first.

– I will get better when I rest.

– This person is important. Do you? The prince’s condition is much worse. How can you walk around hurt like this?

I was scolded.

After thinking for a moment, Kalian opened his mouth.

“Hina. It may be difficult to understand right away, but she is like my mother. So.”

Hina looked at Kalian.

Without being surprised to hear that a concubine from another country was like her mother, Hina, with her big eyes filled with her own stubbornness, moved her hand again. – That kind of person

. Did you leave him here injured? Knowing that he was treated instead of the prince hurts him even more. He

got scolded even more.

Hina reached out again and grabbed Kalian again. Then, she sat him down on the chair that Teilan had brought.

– Just move.

Those words are understandable.

– It’s really mind-boggling.

And it’s still something I can’t understand. After

speaking without further explanation, Hina’s hands reached out to Louise and Calian, one by one.

Soon, the spring sunlight was captured in those two small hands.
