Reborn as the Enemy Prince - Chapter 311

Chapter 55. Into the abyss,

the knights who followed your (3) king’s orders stood with their backs to the royal palace.

The birds following their master stood facing the royal palace.

Some people have swords, some people have bows, and some people have memorized them, but in the end, they are all the same. Everyone was aiming at each other for the one who gave their life.

“Yellow robin.”

That there is no name.

But only that one thing was different.

Every country on the continent and the great desert. Regardless of where they nested, they diligently gathered information and passed it on to their owners. He was loyal to his master even though he deceived and betrayed others. These were people who lived to obey their master’s commands and died to keep their master’s commands.

‘If you have anything to say, say it. ‘I will listen.’

‘No degradation.’

Therefore, except for the fact that they had no names, there was no difference between the knight who followed the king and the bird who followed the master. Many of them were suspected of having ties to Zeon and were forced to fold their wings, but those who remained remained Chase’s loyal birds.

‘Go back to the nest. I will contact you when necessary.’

The gathered people were standing in front of the royal palace.

Instead of the birds of Devlan, the birds of Chase, who would only obey Chase’s words, stood in front of the palace.

“Yellow robin. I think that was the name.”

“It’s Surveyin Chamberman.”

And now those gathered here were no longer nameless birds. He took up the sword with his own name and face, with his own thoughts and will.

– I hope that if the yellow bird delivers my words, you will save it, and if it does not, I hope that you will believe it.

Yellow robin surveyin.

A person who followed behind Euria and Arsene, disobeying Chase’s order not to pursue Euria. Thanks to this, he almost died at the hands of Chase, but his life was saved by Calian’s words and letter.

The knight captain quietly passed his hands behind his back. And he stretched out a finger toward the palace. Then, one of the knights standing last quietly turned and disappeared into the darkness. The intention is to inform the royal palace of this news.

To buy time for Devlan to hear the news, the knight captain spoke again.

“Survain. Yes, that was the name. I thought you’d forgotten.”

“Isn’t that what I’m saying?”

“What brings the birds here?”

“To protect my master.”

Devlan and Teilan would sometimes select those who stood out among aspiring knights and raise them as Sejak. Therefore, there were often birds that had a moderate affinity with knights. And most of these people lived their whole lives in a foreign country and then died. This is because those with well-known faces had a lot of difficulty operating within their own country. Because it was difficult to provide expensive disguise magic tools to all the birds.

It was the same with Surveyin.

Like Aila, Serbane was once an aspiring knight, so she was familiar with the knight commander who was currently defending the castle.

“Are the birds so stupid that they forget who the real owner is because they are only trying to remember my own name?”

Chase is said to be the master, but isn’t it Devlan who controls the birds? Surveyin laughed at what was said about that.

“Well, all the birds gathered here only remember the person who gave them the last food. Because, as you said, birds are stupid.”

“You are so good at saying that you are targeting treason.”

“Isn’t it you who packaged our actions as treason? You were the ones who attacked the lowly people first. So how can you call that treason? Raising a sword to block the coming blade is not treason, but defense.”

“No. It’s treason. Unless you don’t know what a traitor means, stop before it’s too late.”

“I know very well the consequences of breaking orders.”

A yellow robin becomes the new leader of the birds, succeeding the white eagle who betrayed Chase and was unable to hear or speak. Surveyin continued.

“But it seems like it’s you, not me, who doesn’t know something.”

“what are you talking about.”

“You don’t even know how many birds there are.”

Surveyin’s hand went up.

A hand signal to form a formation was issued from a powerfully extended hand.

– Let’s go!

The sound of stepping on shadows rang out all at once, as if they had been waiting. People dressed in black came out one after another from here and there in the darkness. And they were surrounded by Raijian private soldiers holding magic lanterns.

The sound echoed even inside the inner room.

Before we knew it, the knights in the inner city had been subdued and the arrows of other birds on the castle wall were aimed at the knights.

The knight commander’s face hardened when he saw that.

Surveyin said, taking a step closer to the knight commander.

“Did you try to deliver news to the palace? Did you know that we wouldn’t be there? I thought you were the only ones who needed time.”

The knight captain did not answer.

“Let’s go in now.”

Instead, Lei Jian opened his mouth as if he had been waiting.

Teilan nodded slightly while looking at Raijian and gestured towards Surveyin. Seeing this, Serbane strengthened the hand holding the sword and took a step closer to the direction of the palace. The birds surrounding the masked people walked in unison.

There was no further conversation to be had. Even if the birds had already climbed onto the castle walls, not all of the royal knights had been subdued. Therefore, the knight captain did not give up and raised his sword. And then he launched himself at Surveyin.

No, I tried to fly it.

– Shhh!

There was only a short sound.

The wind rose once and there was a sword in front of my eyes.

Taylan, who had already taken off his mask, pulled out the sword from his waist and aimed it at the knight captain. Only then did the knight captain recognize Teilan and the corners of his eyes turned sharp.

“…Your Majesty truly committed treason.”

“This is not treason.”

Teilan silenced the knight captain by bringing his sword closer to his neck, then turned over his single-edged sword and grabbed it.

“It’s about getting it back.”

Because originally, the king of this country was Chase.

– Pow!

After speaking, Teilan swung his sword towards the knight captain’s neck. Instead of a sharp sound, a dull sound followed, and the knight captain, who was protecting his body with thin armor, collapsed helplessly. Along with him, the birds, including Surveyin, kicked their feet.

Teilan moves again.

The blade did not flash at all.

* * *

– The concubine has disappeared.

The banquet was stopped.

– Tailan Castrin is not visible.

– Some of Kyris’ wizards, including Alan Manasil, have disappeared inside the royal palace.

– Marquis Lei Jian Lin entered the inner castle.

Because there was a commotion outside the castle, the nobles who attended the banquet had to stay in the palace for a while. They used safety as an excuse, but to be exact, it was detention.

The three princes of Kairis, who could no longer make the excuse that it was difficult to move to the annex, were all moved to the annex of the palace and stayed there. This was also done in the name of protecting the royal family of another country from circumstances outside the palace, but in the end it was isolation.

– Marquis Lei Jian Lin arrived outside the palace. In front of them… there are the crown prince’s royal servants. Sejakdeul and Teylan Kathrin are together.

Devlan was lost in thought.

I spent the night sitting in front of my desk with my chin resting and my eyes downcast.

All the knights of the royal palace came to the front of the palace.

– There are no dead knights. There was armed conflict, but no one died.

It’s disadvantageous.

Rather, it was Devlan who attacked first.

– There is a strong protest from the nobles asking to be informed of the situation outside the palace. What would you do?

In one night, nobles began to make their voices heard. In just one night, those who had been silent for over 20 years.

Chase said he wouldn’t tolerate it any longer, and Calian said Devlan didn’t have much time left to live. Lei Jian Lin moved and the birds gathered.

‘Where is Alan Manasil?’

‘I can’t see it.’

The birds of Devlan have disappeared.

No news was delivered. Chase’s birds have been moving secretly for a long time. I finally found out about it. I couldn’t finish my thoughts.

“Why are you sitting still? Not eating.”

“Just because I ascended to the crown, I didn’t forget etiquette.”

Devlan, who had stopped thinking for a moment, opened his mouth, and someone who probably didn’t know what was going on outside answered quietly.

The host who invited the meal eats first.

After that, the invitee touches the food. It may not seem like a big deal at first glance, but its origins are by no means trivial.

It is an etiquette that stems from suspicion rather than respect for the person who provided the space. It was a custom that arose from the frequent practice of inviting people and preparing poison.

“Are you now worried that I invited you and poisoned the food? Last time, you drank tea without hesitation.”

“Yes, I was warned not to eat anything.”

“Who would give the crown prince of Kairis a warning?”

“Who could there be?”

Plantz, who blatantly expressed his intention not to trust Devlan, answered as if asking a question. And I furrowed my eyebrows as I remembered the person who had so opposed me from taking this position.

Since it wasn’t a very difficult answer to guess, Devlan said with a small smile.

“In any case, this is my opportunity to apologize to you for what happened yesterday. I don’t know if you know this, but I have never played any tricks on your food or tea. I guess I can take this as an act of trust.”

“All right.”

Plantz said this and nodded. But still didn’t touch anything.

“It’s just that flowers and seafood don’t suit my taste.”

And he just said this and pointed to the table.

The abundance of seafood, edible flowers, and colorful flower decorations that did not take the guests’ tastes into consideration at all were noticeable.

“Oh my. I didn’t know that.”

“it’s okay.”

It was funny to even urge him to lift anything anymore. Besides, in any case, the purpose was to invite Plantz and talk, not to continue a friendly meal. So Devlan nodded and drank the water next to him.

“Yes. The story was long. It’s because I was so upset that I couldn’t even organize what I wanted to say. Please understand.”

“Is that so.”

“Outside the palace, there are people who are plotting against me, and inside the palace, there are people who are trying to get rid of me. I was wondering how to get out of this deep trap, but no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t think of a way. Then I found out. In the end, I thought it was because I was anxious. My son “How can I not be upset when a sword is pointed at me?”

“majesty.”

Plantz looked at Devlan.

Planz stared at Devlan for a moment and slowly opened his mouth.

“I think I will be disappointed if you say the same thing as Briesen.”

This guy and that guy, why do they put blood in their mouths when they are cornered?

“Tell me what you want and I will listen.”

Plantz, who hates flowers, seafood, and talking too much, but hates obvious pretense based on the same bloodline the most, stopped Devlan from speaking.

“Do you know what I want?”

“It’s war.”

“What makes you think that?”

“Louise, a concubine who can be taken hostage by Crown Prince Chase, and Crown Prince Chase’s fiancé have evacuated to a safe place. Crown Prince Chase is being protected by Prince Calian, and outside, it seems that Marquis Rayjian Lin is gathering private troops. ”

Devlan was looking at Plantz without saying anything.

“They are guarded by Prince Chase’s birds. Now that Your Highness is holding Prince Chase captive, the only way Your Highness can think of is war. If war breaks out, everything will turn around. It’s a war with a good cause, like Alan Manasil’s preemptive strike. Isn’t that right?”

A smile appeared on Devlan’s face.

“You said that if you ask me how to live, I will tell you. “To me.”

“Yes.”

“If you tell me that, I will help you get back safely alone. There is no way the 3rd prince will quietly enter the tower.”

This talkative person finally got to the point.

“Calian said that. “Your Majesty, there must be something you absolutely don’t know.”

“You don’t know. What is it?”

“I didn’t intend to betray my brother from the beginning.”

“… Is that so?”

“And there’s one more thing.” After

saying this, Plantz took out something from his chest and walked forward. I put it down. Devlan’s eyes were focused on what was in Plantz’s hand.

– I think I heard something about going back alone or about the tower. Could it be that it was about my sons?

Devlan frowned.

The voice continued.

– I have no intention of engaging in war, but I can send an army to your country. Only for the sake of one of your lives.

Planz smiled wryly.

The father to call was not only Calian.
