Reborn as the Enemy Prince - Chapter 331

Chapter 59. He said he was surprisingly clumsy (1)

and liked common things.

“Then in Viscount Bern’s eyes, isn’t that common?”

So, someone who hates common things asks.

I may not be able to classify everything in the world into common and uncommon, but I was still curious so I asked. And after receiving the question, Hina thought seriously for a while before answering.

– I think it’s common.

Well then. Even if it is a view from the middle of the sea, there is no way that the sun rising every day would not be common.

As Euria shook her head after thinking this, Hina’s hand moved again.

– But it’s still special.

Euria tilted her head as she couldn’t recognize the word she couldn’t remember. Hina, who noticed this, took out a notebook, wrote the word ‘special’ and showed it to her. After looking at the written words, Euria remembered one of the things she had learned a while ago and said while clumsily imitating the hand movements.

“It’s so common, how can it be special?”

– This is the first year that the sea turns this color.

I agree with that statement. It was also Euria’s first time seeing the sun rise from a boat. I’ve never seen the round sun on the horizon, holding on to the edge of the sun as if it didn’t want to let go, stretching out and then turning back into a circle again. As Hina said, it was also the first time to see the rising sun coloring the blue sea water with a mysterious light that could not be silver or gold.

“But you see it every day.”

But that doesn’t mean the sun is special. It was a story I brought up with that in mind.

– So, does it seem common to the president of the association?

“I thought it was common because it didn’t just pop up every other day, it popped up every day.”

– Even though the same sun rises, it is actually a different year every day.

“I guess that’s it too. I thought it was common. But it’s difficult.”

Last night, Ayla, who had no interest or interest in seeing things like this, was the first to leave. When morning came, Kirie, who had to accompany Kalyan, went in to rest, and after that, Hina and Rachel left around the same time. Arsene, who had said he would hold out until the end and stay for a while, may have fallen into a deep sleep or just died, but he never came back.

As a result, they disappeared one by one and Euria was left alone.

It wasn’t something she was thinking about much, but because she couldn’t sleep for some reason, Euria didn’t go in to sleep and just spent the night looking at the distant sea. I don’t know how long it lasted, but when the darkness over the sea began to clear little by little, Hina came out again. So, we were talking about various things and looking at the rising sun together.

“Well, it’s my first time seeing a sunrise in the middle of the ocean, so it’s safe to say it’s not common. I asked, but it was a difficult question.”

Even if we looked at the same place side by side and talked, we had to look at Hina’s hand every now and then. Although it may have been inconvenient and cumbersome at first glance, Euria willingly turned her attention back to Hina. Since ancient times, people have to look at each other to have a conversation. Even if there was a beautiful sun rising ahead, it wasn’t that important.

As Euria looks towards her, Hina’s hand moves again.

– 5th circle wizards may be common in the world. In fact, when you get to know them, they all seem special.

Hina, who lightly said something that would be unfair to wizards, smiled brightly. I’m saying this because I work in the Balkans and all around me are high-circle wizards, but in reality, the 5th circle is really common.

But instead of pointing it out right away, Euria waited for Hina’s next words.

– The division commander’s electricity is faster than anyone else’s, and the vice-corps commander is really strong, but he actually likes explosions more. So I think each and every one of them is special. Especially the president’s 5th circle.

Hina’s eyes turned to Euria after talking about Needlen’s quick electric attack that was already cutting into the opponent’s skin as soon as it was cast, or Arsene’s unusual strength.

Is it just that it is not common?

It was because of the power of Euria’s attributes that she was able to deal so futilely with a wizard who was even higher and was using the power of the black stone. How can we say that it is common?

Euria, who understood most of what Hina said, took another look at the sea sparkling with bright colors. Then he turned his head again and looked at Hina with a curious look on his face.

“We were talking about the sunrise, and he suddenly guessed what I was thinking. Our Viscount Bern. I haven’t been drunk at any point, have I?”

Since she didn’t look displeased, Hina answered with a smile.

– no. It seemed like he just kept thinking about it. Because of my brother’s work that day.

“Actually, that’s what I’ve heard the most in my life. Why buy it and go through the trouble? Anyway, once you get past the 7th circle, whatever attributes you’ve built up will be useless. Oh, of course, I heard this from people who didn’t learn magic. Those who learned magic just thought, wow, it’s cool. So, anyway, I lived without paying attention to such things to make lightning, and I was fine until I met Gina in Brigitte’s Forest. Adelia? That old man with white hair was so strong. So, a thought suddenly occurred to me. What if I had just learned one thing? . like this.”

I’ve done a lot of killing, but I’ve never done much protecting someone, so now I’m looking back. I couldn’t help but think that if Alan hadn’t come, not only Kirie but the rest of the group, including Hina, wouldn’t have been safe.

If I had just done one thing instead of stubbornly trying to make lightning, I wouldn’t have been in a higher circle by now. Haven’t I just been wasting my time on useless things? do.

– I’ve had similar thoughts.

“Did you?”

– yes. When I was young, I stood out a lot. His ears were this long and he didn’t even know how to talk, so he was very noticeable. So my brother fought a lot and suffered a lot on my behalf. There are so many things like that that I still cry when my brother gets hurt because of me. Even though I know it’s okay now, I still think about that time.

Euria nodded without another word.

– Then one day, my brother got hurt again. There was no money for medicine. My brother said it was okay and I cried a lot that day too. Suddenly something strange happened. My brother’s wounds healed, and from that day on, little by little, I learned what I could do. After a while, my brother and I were talking about our mother, and I thought that if I had known my strength sooner, I could have healed my mother too. That’s what I ended up saying.

Euria was watching Hina’s words without answering.

I knew very well that I was a person who lived without having to worry like Hina. So, I did not presumptuously sympathize with her or say I was proud of her just because she lived longer than Hina. Hina smiled slightly and showed sign language.

– Somehow I felt like I had done something wrong and I regretted it and it was so unfortunate.

“I see.”

Euria let out a short sigh and opened her mouth.

I was thinking about the lightning that struck Adelia that day at Marquis Lynn’s mansion, but disappeared with a single touch from Adelia.

“I… I don’t know if I should call that a regret, but I wonder what it would have been like if I had been less stubborn. It was a little strange that something I had so much pride in disappeared in an instant. Facing such a strong person. It’s not that I didn’t think I’d hit it, but I’ve never imagined a situation where there was no answer to that degree. I wonder if it’s been too long now to say I regret insisting on dual attributes, and if I had thought about this earlier, I might have felt a little better that day. Well, seriously. “It’s not a worry, it’s just a random thought.”

Hina continued speaking as slowly as the slowly rising sun.

– My brother said that. They say no one can undo what has gone before. Just because you go back and change your choices or find out what you missed doesn’t mean everything will be solved. In the end, mistakes happen again, strange things happen, and regrets arise again. So I told you not to think like that. Of course I couldn’t not think about it, but if possible, let’s not spend time regretting things in the past. I live thinking like that.

Euria moved her head up and down.

– What happened that day was that my brother was weaker than that wizard, I drew attention to him hastily, and the president of the association did what he could. It was the wizard who was at fault, not us. And I think the president’s lightning bolt is especially cool because it resembles the president of the association.

“Do you look like me?”

– yes. They look a lot alike, I think.

“Yeah. That’s good.”

He says he’s using powers that resemble his own, but I wonder what kind of useless thoughts he’s been having.

“I heard that I’m particularly cool, so I need to become especially stronger. To look even cooler.”

It wasn’t that she thought Euria was cool because she was strong, but Hina just nodded quietly.

His silver hair, flowing together, sparkled with the color of sturdy fur. Hina, who liked that, laughed. Because I have hair that doesn’t have any special color, I felt so fortunate to see my hair sparkle like this.

* * *

Plantz frowned and Calian laughed.

White bread studded with light cheese topped with olive oil and chopped pickled olives. Tomatoes topped with chewy cheese. Asparagus and string beans rolled in bacon and grilled. A steak with thick beef well-grilled and topped with a sauce containing mildly flavored mushrooms.

There was nothing special up to that point.

The problem was with the yellow omelette, which gave off a delicious smell. Next to the fluffy omelet with the scent of saffron, there was a separate omelet with white cheese and no saffron. Of course, this is for Planz.

It was obvious that Chase, who had seen the omelette with saffron in it, had told the chef that it was not prepared in two different ways from the beginning. Because the cheese omelette arrived obviously late.

When Plantz, who knew this, looked at him, Chase smiled with a face that looked exactly like Calian.

“Last time I saw him, I wondered if he hated him because he didn’t even touch him. Crown Prince Plants.”

While staying at the villa, my younger brother also told the chef of Mijual Gojual, so everything from flowers, seafood, rabbit meat to strong-smelling truffles were excluded from the diet. Of course, it also included unripe onions, green peppers, and grapefruit. Instead, dishes containing peas appeared unusually often, but I just pretended not to notice them.

Anyway, I’ll just skip over it, but the chef who came with us on this ship was from the royal palace, not from the villa. Crown Prince Kairis’ short-lived taste became known even in the kitchen of the Secretia Royal Palace.

“Do you really need to endure it, Crown Prince Plants?”

“You don’t have to worry this much.”

“No, Crown Prince Plants. I hope you can see it as the sincerity of someone who serves a guest. Crown Prince Plants.”

“yes.”

Planz, who said this, tried to frown. Then he added a word to the purple-eyed king who was looking at him with a grinning face.

“…… majesty.”

Calian, who was sitting between Chase and Plants, let out a small laugh. It was because the way he spoke seemed like he was going to declare that he would ascend to the throne like this.

Plantz, who was looking at this and thinking that there was no one on this wide ship, answered,

“The steak is delicious.”

My younger brother, who seems to have the energy to survive the day, said that no matter whether it is dawn or morning, you have to put meat in your mouth first. They may be trying to take their own side, but I don’t think it will be of much help.

“Yeah. I was worried because it’s been a while since we’ve had a meal together, but I’m glad you liked it.”

Chase’s answer continued.

He had the same eyes as Kalyan, who was looking at Hina eating ice cream.

Did he know that his younger brother would say the same thing after roughly roasting a freshly killed wild boar?

Plants, who had worked hard to straighten his brows, frowned again and ate an omelette that had no saffron scent. Because my mouth was completely addicted to sweets, I didn’t touch meat at all and only filled my stomach with spinach and oat soup and an omelet with bread and cheese. At least Plantz was different from Calian.

Then Chase ate something similar to plantz and put down his fork and knife. Plantz, who recalled the scene at the table where Chase had been sitting together, focused his gaze on Calian.

“That was not a characteristic of the royal family.”

“Yes. I just eat a lot. I never used to eat this much.”

Calian smiled as he stuffed a plate of steak into his mouth and downed the mashed potatoes. And it was revealed that the appetite for eating so much was not inherited from the Secretia royal family.

“Anyway, it’s time for me to grow up.”

Of course, it wasn’t that small, but it was still similar to Planz and about a finger smaller than Chase. Chase, who was watching the conversation between the two, nodded and said.

“It must have been very hard on my body. I was using my stamina and strength from 10 years later.”

“Oh, that’s…”

Calian, who couldn’t hide his embarrassed face at that moment, looked at Chase. However, it is impossible to take back what has already been said.

okay.

It’s only been ten years.

A strange look appeared in Plantz’s eyes.

“Ten years.”

I found out roughly my younger brother’s age. Fast forward ten years, and now about three years have passed and he is younger than Chase. Still, he looked at Planz and said things like that he was still young and that he needed to grow up.

“Well, my brother said that very well.”

“What do you mean I said?”

“Maybe you were younger than me in the ‘past’.”

“That’s not true.”

“Well then. You must be a year or two older. Then twenty-six or twenty-seven.”

Calian, who had discovered his past age thanks to unnecessary quick calculations, kept his mouth shut. At the same time, one corner of Planz’s mouth went up.

“Have you not told Crown Prince Plants that yet?”

“I was planning on telling you later.”

“Oh my. I made a mistake again.”

Chase, who had successfully revealed the secret Calian had been keeping for fun, answered as if it was a mistake.

Was it really a mistake, or was it meant to clearly show why Calian was overdoing it to the point where he couldn’t resolve the problem even after eating so much?

Chase, who had quietly revealed not only Calian’s true age but also that there were at most 7 years left until the time-winding event occurred, looked out the window. The sailing ship, which had completed its long voyage, was getting closer to the port.

“I’m planning to have lunch with the crown prince of Tensil today. Would you like to stop by the palace?”

Calian, who had sighed as Chase revealed his secret, shook his head.

“I will stop by Bridget’s Forest first. I can meet the Crown Prince of Tensil later.”

“okay.”

“Yes. I’ll see you again later.”

“Do that any time.”

Chase said this and smiled slightly.

After stopping by Bridget Forest and meeting the crown prince of Tensil, if you are about to go to the palace, it will be to say goodbye to return to Kairis.

Even though he had handed over the revised version, even Plants knew very well that meeting face to face was different from that, and that no matter how often he came through Alan, it would be very different from staying in the same place and eating together like this at any time.

“Then don’t wake up first.”

“Yes. Take care.”

Nevertheless, Chase, who did not reveal such thoughts, got up without saying another word. And Calian only gave a shorter answer than Chase.

* * *

A long quiver of arrows was attached to Raven’s saddle.

Even after that, Yan untied the leather strap that held the quiver for no reason and tied it again. When I looked to the side, I saw Reric’s face, which was tied to Estina’s saddle with the same thing, so it wasn’t much different.

Who in the world would fall into the sea at night, come back up, and then go hunting without getting a single breath of sleep? Even all the way to Bridget Forest!

Plantz, who saw that face, didn’t say anything else, and Calian just smiled. I had already said so many times that I would just relax and come back, so there was nothing more to say.

“It’s nothing else, it’s just a hunting bet. Don’t worry.”

“It’s amazing that I feel like shooting a bow right now.”

“Why can’t I just take it slow and rest?”

Yan, who knew that his stubbornness would not be broken in the end, lowered his round eyes and nodded.

A random hunting bet.

– No matter how much you say, do you think your bow skills are as good as mine? It’s not just that I’m good at handling knives.

– Does my brother really see things clearly and act with such arrogance?

– Conceit is a bit harsh to say.

– The idea that just because you are good at wielding a sword is superior to the bow, then I don’t know what else it is if it isn’t arrogance.

Kalian and Planz, who were coming out after breakfast, started a light argument about whose archery was better. In the end, it became a bet, and Chase suggested that they go hunting in Bridget’s Forest, which no one has visited since many soldiers died not long ago.

The recovery of the body has long since been completed, and the planting of new trees in the damaged area has also been completed. So, the intention was to put the past behind us and make it a place that people visit again. Including the clear intention not to blame the Kairis wizards for what happened that day.

– Brigitte Forest. It’s good. Now, let’s take a look at my brother’s bow skills, which he boasted about so much.

– If you lose, I hope you don’t shout in front of me again.

– If I lose, of course I will do that. However, if you win, I will ask you to do me a very big favor. Just know that.

– However much. Whatever you like.

Isn’t there a reason why Plantz’s speech lasted so long?

Of course, it was just a good excuse to pretend to have an argument. I had to go to Bridget’s Forest, but I couldn’t just go back to the forest where Euria and Rachel got involved and caused many deaths without any reason.

Of course, the person who knew it was an excuse was the person who knew Calian’s secret, which only increased Jan and Reric’s worries.

“Don’t worry too much. Take care with Lucy, Anne, and Coco.”

“I only watch Coco. Reric decided to watch the cats.”

“okay.”

“Anyway, if you increase the prince’s scar again…”

“Yan.”

Even though Plantz hasn’t arrived yet, they insist on stopping him from joining. So, it was clear that the red scars on the flower-like prince’s back were caused by Plants. Yan, who had fully realized the full story of the incident, nodded as if he was not surprised.

“Yes, I understand.”

Behind Yan, who answered like that, Plantz, dressed in bright colors, slowly walked out. Calian, who soon saw Planz getting on the horse, smiled and waved to Jan.

Euria, Rachel Hina, Jan and Reric, who were not supposed to know exactly why Calian was going to the forest, remained at the villa. After moving the group back from the ship, Alan returned to Kairis. That means.

“I didn’t know that His Majesty the Crown Prince, who was briefly a corps commander and then vice-corps commander, could use a bow.”

It also meant that Arsene would go together. To be exact, only Kalyan, Plantz, and Arsene went together. We set out on the road with such a small but noisy crowd.

“Raven will take care of the way, but please be careful. Raven is more trustworthy than the prince.”

“I said I understood.”

I greeted Jan well like this.

Kalian is a person who keeps his promises, so I thought he would travel without any trouble as he promised.

But after some time.

-Ssssssssssssssssss!

A long blood trail was left where the sharp tip of the arrow, which made a strong sound, passed through.

Two people to be exact. The arrow, which inflicted identical wounds on the necks of two people standing in its path, was deeply embedded in a wooden pillar standing far away.

“Brother, you really can’t talk nonsense.”

“Should I just do it for my brother?”

Calian chuckled as he saw the tip of the arrow grazing the two men’s necks, as if to prove that he was confident in his skills, or to say that he could have killed them but skillfully saved them.

“… I thought you didn’t like hurting anyone.”

“I didn’t know it was a person.”

“Isn’t it a bit big for game?”

“I thought it was big game.”

Brigitte Forest.

The words were exchanged too casually to be said while looking at the knights who were threatening the only living person among the people lying dead in the distance.

They all looked towards Calian, including the two knights with their necks cut because they looked like big game. Among them, Calian saw a particularly familiar face and raised his hand in greeting.

“Why are you here? Among ‘prey’.”

‘Serjane’, who had decided to have lunch with Chase after almost being killed by unknown knights, was there.
