Reborn as the Enemy Prince - Chapter 33

Chapter 7. The roses will bloom soon (6)

“Have you met the Kirie siblings, Master?”

Eleven.

The eleventh banana disappeared into Kalian’s mouth as he asked. There was another banana peel next to the bed.

I was surprised because Silike had barged in without warning, but he was gone before I knew it, and his student, who opened his eyes after a week, was eating a banana with a carefree face.

As a result, my worries disappeared somewhere, and I was filled with anger due to the hardships my body and mind had suffered because of Kalyan.

So, Allen had been thinking about whether it would be okay to hit the student in front of him at least once, and then answered with a sullen look on his face.

“yes.”

Calian nodded at those words and picked up the next banana. Judging by the amount of talk, it seemed like he had no intention of explaining about the unique siblings, so Alan, who couldn’t control his curiosity, lost his temper for a moment, became silent, and asked.

“Are these children you had ties to in a previous life?”

“Only Kirie. Hina wasn’t there.”

Alan was always quick-witted. He nodded without asking any more questions. Then he opened his mouth again with an expression of wonder.

“Then, by any chance, you didn’t know that that girl named Hina was a healer?”

Kalyan’s head moved up and down with his mouth full of bananas.

Alan’s eyebrows rose.

“So, are you saying that you blindly relieved the poison in your body, believing only in the power of blessing?”

Calian swallowed what was in his mouth and said with a very satisfied expression.

“Bananas are delicious.”

It must be delicious. No problem.

Is it possible that coming back from the dead and eating it wouldn’t taste good?

Alan clenched his fists and took a deep breath. It is to endure. No matter how much he is a disciple, he is still a prince.

“I was surprised to hear that too, Master. You were a healer.”

“All you need to know is that it happened quickly thanks to you.”

When Alan responded coldly, Calian spoke in a refreshing voice.

“Thanks to you, I feel refreshed.”

As the words came out with a bright smile, the reason Alan was barely able to hold on to was broken.

“Don’t say things like good luck. I was in bed for a week because you brought a raw poison that had no origin from somewhere and drank it just to bite you.”

Who in the world could say something like this to the Prince of Kairis? Therefore, Calian, who was looking at Alan with a blank expression, laughed for a while before answering.

“It had to be at a level where Silike couldn’t insist that it was an original play.”

“It’s a self-made play. No one would think of it like that.”

Just thinking about it made me dizzy.

Since I had planned a full play, I only vomited some blood, but I thought it was a feint.

However, Kalian could not open his eyes for a week. The poison I had consumed for over two months was a deadly poison that had spread while my insides were all damaged.

“Hina, if that child wasn’t a healer who wields the power of nature, or if he didn’t come by on Tuesday, wouldn’t he still not have woken up?”

Is it not only that?

Alan also felt a shiver run down his spine when he found out that something had happened after waiting for the day to come, holding back his insides from melting.

Before I knew it, that damn bastard was eating his fifteenth banana. It seemed like he was making up for a week of starvation with bananas.

“But I did my part as soon as I woke up.”

Calian, whose face was still pale due to anemia, laughed again as he talked about his negotiation with Silike.

Allen sighed as if he had finally given up and frowned slightly without realizing it. Because the corners of my lips were sore. Calian asked after seeing that.

“But Master, why is your face like that? Did you fight?”

“It happened. Don’t worry.”

Alan’s expression suddenly distorted as he heard Calian pointing to his lips.

Why did the guy who only sat in front of the desk make his fists so spicy?

There was something inside his chapped lips that he did not want his students to know, so to divert attention, Alan quickly took something out of his pocket and gave it to Calian. It was the knife that Calian had entrusted to him and two rolled up pieces of parchment.

Calian asked, putting the knife under his pillow and unfolding the parchment.

“What is this?”

“We prepared this at a time when identity guarantee for children was newly needed.”

Calian looked pleased and confirmed the contents.

“Now that I think about it, I was so focused on this matter that I forgot to ask you about it.”

“The baby elephant spoke for me, so it’s okay.”

Calian nodded and checked the document, then opened his mouth with a surprised face.

“But this… is beyond my expectations.”

“There will be no trouble because of the identity of those children.”

It was a proper identity document, not the ID card I had been trying to ask Alan for. The Kyrie siblings had become commoners living in the Whitlin territory owned by Calian. From the beginning, it was made as if they were Kallian’s territories.

And one more thing.

A sad smile appeared on Calian’s face as he examined the certificate.

“And I didn’t think about this any more.”

It was because of the siblings’ names written on the certificate.

– Kyrie Bern Hina Bern.

Calian turned his eyes and looked at the teacher who had brought back the name that had disappeared from the world. Alan said it as if it was no big deal.

“I told you because I needed a last name. I thought they were not children I brought in after meeting them by chance.”

“…… thank you.”

When the atmosphere suddenly calmed down, Alan, who hated that kind of thing, pointed to a pile of bananas and changed the conversation.

“Have some more of that. I’ll see how much more goes into it.”

Kalian shook his head and picked up another banana.

Because emotion and hunger are two different things.

Then Calian, who suddenly had a question about how Alan faked his identity, asked.

“Wasn’t it difficult to produce the certificate? Master, there was no one to ask for from Kairis…” As I looked at

Alan as he spoke, the expression on his face was truly meaningful.

Calian, who recognized this, changed his words and asked.

“Could it be that Lemain made it?”

“I only know three people here. At least I asked someone I see often these days.”

Alan, who grouped the king, prince, and duke into ‘only three’ continued.

“When I heard that it was the prince’s request, I was surprised because he immediately helped me without asking anything else.”

“It’s surprising. He was someone who knew how to do something like that.”

A strange smile appeared on Alan’s lips. This is because he seemed to have no idea how much Lemain cared about Calian. Alan asked with curious eyes, as it seemed that Calian himself had provided the cause.

“I have a question. That day, Lemaine was angrier than expected, so it became known that he was the king’s favorite son.”

“Is that so.”

Calian, who was thinking about the day’s events, added with a grin.

“I guess I got lucky.”

The youngest prince made Lemaine say ‘my son’ and became Lemaine’s son, not Freya’s, and thus gained the basis to prevent Freya’s origin from interfering with his attempt to take the throne. After saying that, he did not explain further. didn’t

Of course, those words were enough for Alan to understand the situation.

‘There will be more to gain. You may need some luck, though.’

Alan thought about what he heard a few days ago, and when he saw Calian’s expression, he clicked his tongue. I thought I gained a lot from eating poison once.

“Thanks to you, Lemain is quite worried about the prince. He was wondering whether he should postpone going to Rosellita today.”

Calian shook his head once and then answered.

“Anyway, Silike can’t touch me for the time being. Even if I sneeze, they’ll blame it on Silike.”

After saying that, Calian fell silent for a moment. Then he raised his arm and carefully used his mana. Although it was still unstable, I could clearly feel a warm and strong feeling wrapping around my arm. It was the power of an auror that protected the body.

“And by the time Rosellita starts, nothing will be able to touch me.”

My heart no longer hurt.

Calian smiled with great satisfaction, feeling free for the first time since he had this body. Then, imitating the expression Alan had made, he spoke secretly.

“I’m pretty good at using a sword.”

Alan chuckled as he looked at his wizard student.

* * *

After Alan returned, Kyrie silently came and stood next to Calian, who was going back to bed. It was said that during the week that Calian was asleep, Jan and Alan stayed by his side during the day and Kyrie stayed by his side at night.

Thus, even after sleeping for a week, Kalian was able to fall asleep again with a peaceful mind.

Maybe that was why.

I had a dream for the first time since coming here.

In my dream, I finally met the child who had been with me all this time.

And then we parted ways forever.

Calian woke up and cried for a while.

In the dark of dawn, a wizard came out of the palace, leading a prince dressed in black robes.

A black horse with white fur only on its front right leg walked towards the Seine River, wary of falling on its owner, who was barely sitting.

In the hand of the wizard standing on the riverbank closest to Chermil Palace, a red fire bloomed to replace the Anneusia flower, which was difficult to find that morning. It was a flame of the exact same color as the departing child’s eyes.

The prince’s head bowed towards the flower.

The Senyu has always been a river that flows quietly.

The fire flower placed in the river also flowed down without a word.

The prince

hoped that no one would pass by the bridge while the flowers were leaving.

* * *

The Knights Templar Pavel was hastily disbanded and returned to the Marquis of Briesen.

Alan Manasil declared that he would create a group of wizards.

Lemain said not to believe unfounded rumors about the royal family.

Kalian, who collapsed and coughed up blood, said he had a really bad cold these days.

And three months have passed.

Jan’s brow furrowed slightly as he looked at Kalian changing his clothes for lunch. This is because I could not shake off the feeling of anxiety that had been creeping up on me for some time. Jan said in a quiet voice.

“Hmm Merlin.”

Maid Merlin, who had a similar expression, nodded and answered as if she knew what Jan was thinking.

“Shall we meet Lord Slake?”

“Yes. Tell them that it will probably be a lot smaller.”

After the maid that Silike had planted for Calian quit, Merlin, who took the position right next to Jan, nodded, saying that she understood. The intention is to tell Shatin, the royal wardrobe manager, that the formal attire that was tailored a month ago for the Kalyan’s birth anniversary banquet will need to be increased this time.

Kalian had grown so much taller that even those who saw him every day could clearly see the difference.

He was originally taller than his peers, but after he stopped drinking his own tea, he grew noticeably. At breakfast, I ate so much that Randel looked at me in surprise, and after spending most of the day doing all kinds of physical training with Kirie, it became natural.

Yan smiled as he looked at Calian, who was only about a fist’s length apart from him. It was somehow similar to what Chase had said while looking at Verne, so Calian also smiled.

After completing preparations, Kalian entered the small banquet hall of Senyu Hall for lunch. And then, without realizing it, I stopped in place.

Inside the banquet hall were Lemain, Alan, and a man they had never seen before. Since Jan had not been told exactly what the luncheon was for, Calian, who had no idea that Lemain was there, greeted him with a slightly surprised expression.

“I see you, His Majesty the King.”

LeMaine nodded and raised his hand to take the seat across from him. Calian walked over there and sat down quietly.

Lemain, who was quietly watching Calian, opened his mouth.

“You’ve grown taller in the meantime. Now you look taller than Plants.”

Calian was even more surprised by what he heard now than when he saw Lemain here. I heard that Lemain had changed, but I didn’t expect him to say such touching words. Calian’s eyes focused on Alan for just a moment. There was a light of admiration in those eyes.

‘How much do you have to mistreat people to change like that?’

In fact, the reason Lemain changed was not because of Alan’s mistreatment, but because of Calian, who personally showed him that indifference was not helpful in maintaining the lives of his children. Alan merely informed Calian that his life was in danger, but the direct cause of the change clearly lay with Calian.

Alan sat quietly with an innocent face, as if he knew nothing. Calian, who saw that, laughed inwardly and chose an appropriate answer.

“Yes, Your Highness. You have grown a little.”

“Yes. You’ve gained a lot of weight. It looks good.”

“thank you.”

Lemain nodded and looked at Alan next to him. Only then did Alan briefly bow to Calian and speak.

“I have someone to introduce to you, so I have prepared a meeting for you, Prince.”

Alan continued, pointing to the man next to him.

“I am the wizard who will be escorting the prince in this Rosellita. I will be able to see the prince’s magic on my behalf.”

I already knew that Alan wasn’t going to Rosellita with me. This is because it was judged that if Alan left the palace at this point, it would be impossible to proceed with the work with the wizards, and Lemaine’s safety would also be a problem.

Still, Calian, who had not thought about escorting a wizard since Duke Siegfried had already sent guard knights, looked at the man with anticipation. He then tilted his head.

‘He looks familiar.’

As soon as I thought that, my heart suddenly started pounding.

Before I even realized that something was strange, the man got up from his seat and bowed towards Calian.

“It’s an honor to meet you, my prince.”

The moment when an unforgettable voice pierces your heart.

A cold feeling filled Calian’s chest.

“This is Arsene Hertz.”

Just like the last day in Bern.
