Reborn as the Enemy Prince - Chapter 342
Chapter 60. If possible, dreams (7)
are ridiculous.
Bern thought it was ridiculous.
‘Why do you want to tell me something so poisonous?’
‘Because I need it.’
‘I’m asking where it is needed.’
‘Is there any other reason to be curious about how to kill someone quickly? ‘I’m asking this to kill someone quickly.’
‘I’m saying this because I think you’re misunderstanding your location with the knights over there.’
‘I am the second prince of Secretia. I know exactly. I know very well that I am in a position where I cannot kill people with my own hands. I also know that you shouldn’t swing a knife carelessly. And I’m not asking you to point a knife at your father. So please tell me, Master. Required.’
Is there anything more ridiculous than a lion biting a rabbit to death and expecting it to not hurt? But Bern did that funny thing. I don’t remember when it started. Someday I felt the need and someday I learned it. And from then on, I used the sword like that. As quickly as possible, at once.
It was said that Teilan was poisonous.
Swordsmanship that does not look at the opponent twice. Some people said it was efficient, while others said it was cruel because of the speedy swordsmanship that cuts off the opponent’s life in an instant. Whatever it was said, Bern didn’t care. No matter what formula you put on it, what kind of review can you make if it is just a technology that kills people? So Bern always used the sword like that without commenting on it other than finding it funny.
– Quaaaang! Quang!
It soon became a habit.
Even now, I lived in hell, died once, came back to life, and live again.
I said so.
Now Calian had forgotten that habit.
Since I didn’t know where the mother tree was in the ground, I would have definitely checked there first. Indeed, even though he was here, he would not have exerted any effort without even knowing what the roots of the mother tree looked like. What will happen if you touch the mother tree with your sword and will you suffer a loss or gain? Is there a possibility? It was clear that he had guessed that too. And only after that would he swing the sword. As quickly as possible, at once.
But I didn’t do that.
He was wielding his sword without considering anything.
‘It’s not the prince’s fault.’
‘Then whose fault is it?’
‘It’s Devlan’s fault.’
‘Kiri. ‘That’s sophistry.’
‘It’s not a lie, it’s true. If what I am saying is sophistry, then blame the sword the prince uses. In the end, it wasn’t the prince who cut their lives, but the sword he wielded.’
‘If you’re going to force yourself, just drink alcohol. Arianne said you don’t talk a lot in front of a glass of wine.’
‘It’s not far-fetched.’
‘Kiri. I was the one who weighed my brother’s life and their lives. ‘Not my sword.’
‘The prince protected the crown prince’s life, and they failed to protect their own lives. If it were me, I would have killed a hundred or a thousand people without hesitation if it were possible to save my brother. Isn’t it true sophistry to say that everyone’s life is precious? My younger brother was more important to me than the lives of a thousand people whose faces I did not know. That’s natural. It was Devlan who was at fault, not the prince. Just as there is nothing wrong with the prince’s sword.’
‘You are too generous to me. Kyrie. If it had been Arianne or Eila, she would never have said that.’
‘At least Lady Lin would have said the same thing as me.’
– Quaaaaaaaa!
I forgot my habits and let go of the things I had always suppressed. In preparation for the next enemy, I released the aura I had always saved and gathered all my magical power. Isn’t the body feeling burdened just by containing the aura? Because of this, I gathered up all my strength, little by little, to avoid putting more strain on my body that had not yet fully grown.
‘The prince is too harsh towards you.’
‘This is generous.’ me too.’
‘Is it possible to say that you are generous while embracing all the sins of the world?’
‘You’re living. So it’s generous.’
‘Just because you breathe doesn’t mean you are living it unconditionally.’
What the roots of the mother tree look like, where they are, and whether they can be attacked or defended.
…I wonder if I can endure it.
Nothing was calculated.
To save the guy who said he would live.
‘You don’t live just because your heart beats and your life continues. ‘That’s not what living is like.’
‘It’s unexpected. ‘I didn’t know you could say that.’
‘Because that’s not what I said.’
‘then.’
‘… My younger brother. My younger brother once said something like that. Just living is not living. That’s not living. ‘That’s what I said.’
‘I guess not.’
‘yes. no.’
‘okay. ‘My brother said good things.’
okay. Living wasn’t like that.
Now I know that saving someone’s life is not an easy task that requires just holding your breath.
Now I know.
‘So I will live well. So, buy the prince too. ‘Don’t just save the crown prince, save the prince too.’
‘…… I am.’
So, was it Plantz who was trying to save it?
Is it because Planz started to live, not just breathe? Is it Plantz who is teaching us to live like that? Is it just one planz? Was it Plantz who saved Plantz and brought him back to life? I wonder if Plants fell into the abyss I created. Is it planz that you want to take out from there?
‘I… well.’
I wonder if all these people were right about Planz.
It’s just that Plantz was right.
I saved him without knowing that.
I pretended not to know and saved him in the end.
I’m angry that it suddenly became meaningless. Because I couldn’t bear to see it turned meaningless for a moment. Negotiation first, threats second. I put all that aside and attacked. I slashed my sword towards the ground where I didn’t even know where I was.
After taking a moment to catch his breath, Calian increased his strength once again.
no. I tried to pull it up.
“……!”
Suddenly, Calian’s back arched sharply.
I could no longer swallow the blood that was welling up and poured it onto the ground. I vomited it out.
“What can I do? I will smell blood and be boiled again.”
A slow voice came out from a mouth that had spilled a lot of blood. As if I had heard that voice, I could hear the words of the mother tree again.
“Are you risking your life for just one dream?”
“You say you’re going to kill someone who lives, but you can’t go that far?”
“You can’t deal with me. It’s too much.”
“I have never lived in an advantageous environment.”
“It’s reckless.”
“I have never lived without thinking about dying.”
You cannot use magic that destroys the ground and draws out lava.
I can’t use magic that makes lightning fall from the sky, or I can’t use magic that catches star fragments and throws them. Kalian doesn’t know how to do that. Still, I’m good at using a sword. He knows how to write with keener wishes than anyone else.
So I picked up the sword again. It contained the wind.
-……Tall!
At the end of the sword that was being slashed like that, something finally caught on. Calian, who momentarily stopped all attacks, closed his eyes for a moment and looked around. Soon, the corners of Calian’s mouth drew a long arc.
Since it wasn’t a materialized tree root, I couldn’t see anything and I couldn’t feel anything. But I could clearly see it.
“Did you just say it was a dream? It’s not a dream, it’s a wound.”
The strong curtain filled with protective energy was lifted in an instant.
Didn’t miss it. I cut it down without hesitation.
Kalyan cut down the tree.
– Kugugugugung…!
There is an earthquake.
Kalyan laughs.
The ground splits apart.
Deep in the ground in the middle of the village. I could see something transparent, throbbing and shaking inside the sharp wound. Something cut off by the power of the auror and torn apart by the power of the wind, scattering dark red light, was clearly revealing its true identity. Calian laughed while looking at that.
“Every time you think of the cut place, you will hear what I said right now. Even if time passes and all traces disappear, you will still think of it. A wound does not necessarily have to bleed.”
A voice like a spring flower flows out.
“It will hurt. You too. It won’t get better. It won’t get better until I die, my teacher dies, and someone else dies. Until you die, even after you die. Because I’ll think about it. Over and over again.”
I laughed without even checking whether the cut was the size of a fingernail, an arm, or a village. She smiled like a flower without saying anything.
– Excited!
My heart moved.
Instead of the seal of oath, the power of blessing moved. Because my body mustered all the strength it could muster, I ended up pushing the broken pieces up.
“This is not what I meant when I said don’t conform. It’s not wise.”
“Did you touch the rock without knowing it was a baby? You see the future well.”
“If it weren’t for this land, I wouldn’t have cared for you.”
“If it weren’t for this body, I would have already used you as firewood.”
“You don’t say a word. How foolish.”
“I hate losing. I’m too good.”
– Ugh!
A significantly reduced number of swords were remade.
A significantly increased amount of blood was vomited out again.
I didn’t care.
“stop.”
Maybe I’m sick of it.
Or maybe the cut area hurt. Was it hurt?
“I will open it.”
In the end, I got the answer I wanted to hear from Danu.
Calian said no more.
My perspective has changed.
A familiar scene caught Kalian’s eyes.
He said he would show the world that had stopped, but the time until it stopped was unfolding first. Very kindly. So much so that it is truly a curse word. Nevertheless, I did not say out loud harsh words that would not be pleasant even if I uttered them for several hours. I was hoping that the wonderful pea, which is good at learning things, would listen and learn. Not because I was thinking of Danu, but because of that reason, I decided not to swear any more. Instead, he vomited thick blood like a curse once more.
After that, after teasing him so much, he walked diligently towards his older brother, who was squatting in a round shape, as if he really thought he had turned into a pea. Because I said I wouldn’t make a fuss.
“Let’s go back.”
And called out.
Who is behind my back, what is on top of me, and where does the person who put it on go? What happened after that? With the face of someone who knows nothing.
“I don’t think it’s late. Are you late by any chance?”
“…… little.”
“Then that’s it.”
Anyway, the peas haven’t wilted yet. Then it happened.
The world changes again.
The pebbles that used to fill your feet disappear, replaced by pure white ice. Instead of ash scattering everywhere, a snowstorm rages. Calian, who was trying to move his magic because he thought he could still apply a shield, lowered the finger he was about to flick. It had already been trapped in a tree hole until now, and I thought it wouldn’t be good to block it again. So, without doing anything, I just moved my feet and opened my mouth.
“I can’t bet on hunting.”
Plantz nodded.
“I’ll assume I won.”
“why.”
“I cut down the roots of my mother’s tree.”
“I am.”
“You didn’t catch anything, did you?”
“I caught a pig.”
“Don’t you remember that we decided to leave out the chicken and pig? I thought you were smart, but it turns out that you sometimes forget.”
“I thought he was good at barking, but it turns out he really just barks.”
“Are you saying something new?”
Plantz sighed, irritated as if he would forget everything he had just seen. And he gave me a human comment about the barking sound.
“Unless it’s a pig. As for the trees.”
“We decided to get rid of the pigs, but not the trees.” ”
… Since when did we get rid of the trees?”
“They lock people up and talk to them, but isn’t that like firewood and game?”
A face with a lot to say . Planz looked at his younger brother, who was giving him a new definition of prey. Calian swallowed what was rising in his throat with a nonchalant expression and smiled. As if he didn’t know that he hadn’t left the elf village yet. “Okay,” said his
brother
. It’s not okay to try to beat your younger brother. In the end, the gentle Plants decided to lose.
“Usually, when you hear something like that, you have to ask yourself if it makes sense, isn’t it? Why do you say you just knew?”
“You did it.”
“You should do more.”
“You said you decided that way.”
“But still. If you hear something that doesn’t make sense, you should insist and get angry.”
“What should I do? So.”
“Anyway, I’m asking you to take care of your share elsewhere as well. Since you said you would lose, I will assume you won, but don’t do that anywhere else. Brother, it’s perfect for getting scammed as soon as you leave the palace. You are truly so gentle. It really takes a lot of work, brother.”
Planz, who now had a lot to say, frowned. Then, with an expression that seemed to have seen Calian’s thoughts, he said, “Just say it
. “Stop barking.”
Calian laughed slightly at the admonition not to hide what you want to say by making unnecessary noises. However, instead of saying those words, he kept his mouth shut for a moment and continued walking toward the outside of the elf village. He passed the uninhabited frozen village and went to the outskirts of the village. Passing through to a place connected to the forest. As
the purple flower Minesias was passing over the ice where he was trapped, Calian said something he had not often said before.
“It doesn’t matter whether what you did was wrong or not. Whether the reason was justifiable or not, we can’t blame it now. No matter who it is. So, even if you saw something in there, brother…”
“You.”
The unlucky king who likes to be pampered, the day he visited Kairis when he was the crown prince. What it was like back then and really. A person who was very similar. A person who couldn’t get closer, but who had a longer head and only one arm than Chase that day. A person who tried to see the distant spire as he had thought and noticed, but couldn’t in the end. “I saw it.” That
person
. He said he saw it. Honestly.
Calian’s feet, which had always been moving steadily, stopped for a moment. He hesitated for a moment, as if he had forgotten where to step. Soon,
Calian put his foot out again without any problem and smiled brightly as he looked at Plants.
“He’s really handsome, isn’t he? ”
Plantz, who looked at his younger brother’s face for a moment, laughed. And this time, he answered honestly.
“I didn’t see it. The face.”
“Ah. That’s too bad. “It was a chance I would never have again.”
“I can’t see you anymore.”
“Yes. I won’t show you. “Because it’s a precious face.”
“I’m going to see it. “I
have a precious face.”
“Later. If it’s okay. More.”
“…… I understand. “Have you seen anything else?”
“I’m not curious.”
“I’m glad. I was worried.”
Plantz nodded without answering.
“I was hurt. many. “Aren’t you worried?”
“I’m doing it.”
“Yes.”
Calian nodded with a grin and
left the elf village. I could feel a much warmer wind blowing through the forest. The sun was already setting.
Carly. Instead of the fishy smell coming from inside, Anne smelled the smell of the forest. And this time, after checking the peas that had not disappeared and were following along well, she called Raven. “I have obtained information about my
mother and Whitlin, so I will never come to this forest again.” I will. “There’s nothing left.”
“As for Danu.”
“I wonder if we’ll meet again… I don’t want to meet him again.”
Anyway, I didn’t forget to promise myself that if I had to meet Danu again next time, I would definitely come with my dad. There was no need to worry about the duck’s mother, who was sitting across from the three horses and waiting anxiously for our prince to come.
He was not so gentle and would live well on his own.
