Reborn as the Enemy Prince - Chapter 421
Chapter 75. I should become a great wizard (2)
Kalyan.
Don’t hide it, be honest.
Is this really a place prepared for my comfort? or not.
Do we need someone who can take over the throne at any time?
* * *
Did you answer?
Did you just postpone it?
I have the answer that was stuck in my head. Did you say it out loud? Did you answer?
As I was thinking about it for a moment, I heard a quiet voice.
“Since when?”
It is wrong to say that the people of Secretia are terrible.
All the people of Secretia are foolish.
“Is it true that it happened because the prince’s aurors were divided, or because he had to use a body that had never used a sword before? Since when did such a problem exist? I want to know that.”
Not only is it foolish, but it is also far-fetched.
It is true that I called Teilan here because I knew this would happen. However, even though I don’t remember teaching anyone how to use a sword, I can’t help but sigh when I see that instead of feeling wary of others who are using their sword skills, they actually start to worry.
I foolishly thought there were only peas in the world, but that’s not true. The people of Secretia are also foolishly ignorant.
“If you really look at it, it’s from the beginning.”
Calian took a long breath, filled with feelings of gratitude, awkwardness, or longing, and turned his head. He looked back and forth between Kirie, who was looking at this place with an expressionless face in the distance, and Taillan, who was standing in front of him, before speaking.
“There was a day when I manifested an auror to save Kyrie. I was unprepared, and I had the same symptoms that day as I do now.”
Not only that.
On the day I dealt with Danu and today as well.
It’s always like that if you overdo it even a little bit. So common that it can be said.
“I thought it would be difficult to suddenly deal with an Auror in this body. So I didn’t pay much attention at first. In fact, isn’t it something that happens to everyone? It was something I experienced in my ‘past’ as well, and that’s why I got scolded harshly by Lord Castrin. Because there was.”
“If something like that happened, you would be right to be scolded.”
“Yes. So I was scolded gently.”
Calian, who had released his memories alone, smiled.
Teilan said quietly. Hoping his own expression didn’t come across as pity.
“However, it appears that this incident did not happen simply because we overexerted ourselves.”
“yes.”
It is natural that problems arise if you overdo it.
But I felt something was wrong.
I felt like it was no longer normal.
“The reason I think this is so strange now.”
Nodding his head, Calian lowered his arms in response.
And, as if to double check, the Aurors were used.
– Ugh!
– Ugh!
A red aura resides in the red sword.
A blue aura dwells in the red sword.
Calian, who was looking down at the twinkling lights of the two Aurors, dispersed his sword. And then, as if there was no need to check any more, he calmed down his stomach, which was already starting to ache, and said.
“Like I said, it’s because of different Aurors.”
An auror who was integrated with Calian’s magic.
An aura that was colorless and transparent when it contained only the magic power of the wind. Then, after accepting the magic power of the old Calian, for a long period of time when I was neither the old Calian nor Bern, the blood that flowed without my knowledge mixed together like murder and gave off a dark red light. However, the auror now glows completely red.
It was clearly Calian’s power.
However, a blue aura began to appear.
The same dark blue aura that all sword masters except Calian had began to accumulate. This is because it is not integrated with magical power.
“At first, I didn’t notice a big problem because it just piled up. I thought that sometimes the inside was being cut off not because of the aurors, but because of the body.”
Of course, if the aura was simply accumulating, there wouldn’t be much of a problem. But unfortunately it became a problem.
“I was probably unable to withstand it because I was forced to hold the aura in an unfamiliar body. I thought it would get better as my body trained further. Then, not long ago, while fighting Vulkan, I took out the blue aura and used it for the first time… …. I found out that the two Aurors’ personalities are not simply different, but are in conflict with each other.”
“Are you talking about the healing power of a priest imbued into a wizard?”
“Yes. That’s right. It’s a problem I didn’t know about when I first integrated the magic power and aurors in the circle.”
“You are using an unprecedented method, so how can you foresee problems in advance?”
“Yes. Well, even if magic power and aura were used separately, I think the same thing would have happened. Anyway, I am a little embarrassed by this situation.”
Would that just end in embarrassment?
Teilan, who was thinking about this, shook her head and asked.
“Normally, there is no problem.”
“Yes. Even if there is a collision now, it is healing well again thanks to the power of the blessing.”
no wonder.
Even though I don’t hide my Aura, I’m still hungry and I get scars that shouldn’t have happened so easily.
Calian smiled and pointed to the area near his heart.
“But even blessings have limits… I’m not sure how long this will last.”
The red gaze moved towards his hands.
“To solve the immediate problem, I have to create one more circle. I have to create another circle before the Aurors overflow again. I guess it’s like a situation where you renew your life.”
“I heard that as a wizard increases the circle, the amount of magic power contained in the heart increases exponentially.”
“Yes. It is said that when there are seven circles, the magic power contained in the heart approaches infinite, so if that happens, it will not be a problem no matter how many auras are accumulated. However, that would be closer to gambling than a safe solution.”
If he could increase his circle just by putting his mind to it, Arsene would have already expanded his circle by one more and would be living a drunken life.
Even though he was a Kalian who had a talent for magic and had achieved the 4th circle faster than Alan, he still had not been able to overcome the wall of the next circle. Although he did not neglect his training just because he was busy. So it wasn’t a matter of guaranteeing that he would be able to get over the wall of the next circle in a timely manner every time.
And more than anything else.
“More than anything, I am a person who wants to live well and then die when I grow old.”
Calian, who said this, smiled slightly.
I couldn’t help but laugh at the fact that what was a normal daily routine for others was a once-in-a-lifetime goal for me.
“When you have time while you are here, I hope you will think of a way to solve this problem. This is why I am asking for your help.”
Teilan nodded her head.
Calian turned his head. In that state, she stood still, looked at a distant place in the forest that could not be seen, and continued speaking.
“True. And I don’t want to tell Master… yet.”
Teilan nodded again as if he understood.
“Okay. I’ll come see you when I figure out a way.”
“Yes, Thank you.”
Teilan, who had been watching Calian’s Auror for a moment, said her greeting and then walked on her way. This is because it is not a problem that can be answered by being with Calian right now.
– Jump and jump.
Tailan walked out to the forest entrance and put on the bracelet he had left loose.
And instead of climbing on the horse, he walked slowly while holding the horse’s reins.
Toward the still brightly lit top floor of the Wilhelm Pavilion.
Calian said he didn’t want to tell Alan about this, but not Teilan. He didn’t teach anything, but it was the responsibility of the teachers to keep their disciples alive, smiling as if shaking off old memories, saying that they had died together using the same sword techniques.
* * *
Kalian, who was looking down at the wound on his forearm, touched the side of his neck.
It feels slightly burning and sore.
Looking at this, I wonder how much Yan will nag me again.
“I’m going to get scolded again.”
Kyrie approached Calian, who was expressing these concerns. Then he took off the black coat he was wearing, draped it over Calian’s shoulders, and raised his collar. Calian shook his head when he realized that the thin coat collar barely covered the wound on the side of his neck.
“Even if I cover it up like this, I’ll get caught.”
“If I get caught, I’ll tell you to let me get some rest today.”
“So does it work?”
“It works a little bit.”
“okay.”
Calian, smiling brightly, moved his feet.
He then pointed to a tree in the distance and said:
“I threw away your sword around here.”
“It was stuck in a tree. Is that why?”
“Yes. What I threw flew all the way there and got stuck.”
“It couldn’t have been easy.”
“Of course. Am I the kind of person who brags about easy things?”
Kirie nodded with a small smile.
Calian continued.
“I was going to take it out and return it to you, but I got sleepy. Plus, Raven’s head was so soft and warm. That’s why I fell asleep.”
“It’s okay if you don’t mind. After I placed it in the prince’s Chermil Palace, the knights came right away and returned it.”
“There was no damage, right?”
“I’m fine.”
“Well, it’s a sword I found and made. It should be fine.”
“Didn’t you deliberately send me out of the palace to find it? It was Uncheol that I found after searching all over the rocky mountain, and it is a sword that was worth the effort.”
“If the ingredients weren’t that good, how would I let you go?”
“yes.”
Kirie looked down at the sword strapped to her waist.
She then looked at Kalian and opened her mouth.
“So, Prince, use this sword.”
– Bruises.
Kalian’s feet, which were heading in front of her, stopped.
Calian turned her head and looked at Kyrie.
“Why should I use your sword?”
“I don’t mind using a different sword.”
Ta-bak-ta-bak.
Calian got to his feet again.
A normal voice continued, as if he was saying he would like to go for a walk tomorrow morning.
“It’s not a problem that gets better just because you don’t use a sword made of Aurors.”
Quiet words wander gently through the forest.
“Kiri.”
“yes.”
“I didn’t call you to tell me about my problem, and I didn’t call you to worry about you either.”
“I know you called me because you thought it was more important to see the two of you sparring than for me to find out about the prince’s problem.”
“okay.”
“In the future… if something unexpected happens. I know that this means informing His Majesty Plantz of the situation and helping him succeed to the throne immediately.”
Not nobles who work under orders from the king.
A grand duke, not the king’s brother, who cannot touch the king’s affairs.
A title that allows one to work alongside the king in any matter. A title higher than that of a duke, which is equivalent to a prince. A title with the same rights as a crown prince. A title that has long been extinct because it only causes unnecessary trouble in that a person can inherit the throne even if he or she is not the crown prince.
Kirie also heard that they would give such a title to Plantz.
“Oh… the window was open.”
“Yes. So I heard that too.”
Ta-bak-ta-bak.
Jump and jump.
For a while, footsteps were heard instead of voices.
As we left the clearing and entered the forest path, Kalian opened his mouth.
“It’s not.”
“Did I think wrong?”
“I like to talk, so I’m a duke and a marquis. Even if I ascend to the throne, if I cut my tongue in private, I’ll immediately say, ‘Speak informally.’ “It was obvious that he would be like this. My brother, with his personality, who would he bow down to and live under?”
Calian, who imitated Plantz and lowered his thin voice, chuckled.
“No matter how much you said you didn’t like it, it’s where your older brother originally sat. Even if we can’t give you the throne, we have to make you a similar seat.”
Ta-bak-ta-bak.
Anyway, it takes a lot of work.
Calian, who was grumbling, closed his mouth for a moment and spoke.
“That was what I decided to do. Now that I think about it, I see that what you said was not wrong. It wasn’t my intention.”
“Then I’m glad.”
A dark and quiet forest with more stars visible than anywhere else in the royal palace.
Calian, who looked up at the sky for a moment, spoke.
“Is this also Serenti’s plan? I wonder if she wanted to hold on like this and by the time I solve all the problems Serenti couldn’t solve, my body will wear out and disappear on its own.”
“…… Prince.”
“I didn’t think about it. To be honest, I thought about it for a while. It didn’t come to a very useful conclusion. So I gave it up for a little while and then gave it up. A person should live a positive life. Serenti is already full of criticism, but I even had unnecessary doubts. Besides, everything. “Someone told you not to conform.”
“Yes. You once said that.”
“Yeah. I’m the kind of person who listens to things like that. I don’t want to get scolded by Hina again. I have a long way to go to repay the debt I owe to my fiancé. I still have a long way to go to teach Jan how to play the harmonica.”
Ta-bak-ta-bak.
“I don’t want to turn the promises I’ve been making here and there into lies again. I don’t want to do that this time.”
Kirie quietly nodded her head.
Calian held on to Kirie’s coat, which was so big it looked like a blanket, to keep it from falling down, and looked at the entrance to the forest in the distance. He said after looking at the vast palace visible between the trees for a long time.
“It’s just that. I called Lord Castrin to find an easier way.”
“If there is no easier way, then what will you do?”
“Then what? Is there anything we can do?”
Calian, who had furrowed the corners of her eyes as her hand let go of her coat for a moment, spoke.
“I should study magic hard from my father and become a great wizard. I’m even living and dying. I guess I can’t do that one thing.”
It didn’t suit me to imitate Alan’s gaze. Because it’s so funny. In the end, Kirie also let out a small laugh.
“I will tell you not to teach too scaryly.”
“So does it work?”
“Maybe it will work.”
“Yes. Please do so, Kirie.”
“Are you okay inside?”
“It’s okay. If you sleep well, wake up and eat, you’ll get better.”
Since it doesn’t move, don’t act like you’re looking at someone lying down digging in the ground.
Calian, who spoke as if making a promise, smiled brightly.
* * *
It is unfair.
“Bishop with b5. Checkmate.”
It’s unfair this time too.
It was unfair.
“Didn’t you ask me to just move back once the knight moved?”
“What is that?”
“That’s why I really decided to step down. Then, shouldn’t we take one step at a time in a friendly manner?”
“I never said I would step down if you asked me to step down.”
“Do I really have to say that in words?”
“If you didn’t want to lose, you shouldn’t have been bitten.”
…He is a heartless bastard.
Kalian held up her spoon. Then, he showed his feelings by poking into the milk pudding filled with stewed strawberries that was placed in front of him.
Either that or not.
Planz elegantly scooped up the identical-looking pudding in front of him and put it in his mouth, chewing it slowly and swallowing it.
For breakfast, a plate of oat soup, two thick slices of bacon, and three grilled chicken drumsticks weren’t enough, so he filled his empty stomach with buttery potatoes and olive bread, and I thought there was a need for pudding as well. . If there is anything else in there, it must be assumed that he has received the Sispanian blessing with a very large stomach.
“I didn’t tell you not to lose so easily so that you can win.”
“Anytime. Anywhere.”
Calian, who didn’t want to say anything more, put his hand back to the messed up pudding. Then she took a large spoonful of it, stuffed it into her mouth, and began chewing it without a sound. Still, I don’t know what Plants was thinking when he saw something more in that stomach.
“Just do it one more time.”
“why.”
“It’s because I took a step back and won. Since you asked to make a bet, wouldn’t you feel at ease if you win fair and square without getting caught?”
“It’s not.”
“why.”
“Speak informally.”
Calian looked away. Then, I looked at the black tablecloth covering the table, then looked around at the dark study seen one step up in the distance and the black chiffon curtains drawn on the long window with black bedding located on the other side.
Yes, that’s right. This is Kalian’s room.
Strangely enough, after eating in this black room and being told to bring the chessboard, the brothers’ chess game started, skipping the troublesome process of reaching for the chess pieces, and Calian made a move that I had made, and thanks to that, Plants To explain why a winning situation arose, we have to go back in time a little.
That morning, after Kyrie, who had been by Calian’s side all night, went out. When Kalyan, who had been repeating ‘Yanna just 5 minutes’ about four times to the soft sound of the bell, barely got up and opened her eyes. Just when Jan’s interrogation was about to begin when he belatedly noticed that the wound on Kalian’s palm was widening and that there were knife cuts on the jacket and shirt he had worn the day before.
– Jump up!
The door to Calian’s room opened. It literally burst open.
I wonder where anyone would dare to open the door to the 3rd Prince Kairis’ room like that. There was only one person.
A person who will make you think that just because you came in through the door instead of the window, it was okay if you put in that much effort. Of course it was Planz.
Kalian, who had more covered eyelids than open eyes, opened his eyes a little more, a startled Jan stood up to cover Kalian in his pajamas with his body, and the other servants and maids, who were even more surprised, started a series of commotions by quickly pulling down the bedroom curtains. Plantz, sitting down on the sofa inside, spoke to his younger brother beyond the curtain.
“meal.”
Ask for breakfast.
Thanks to this, Kalian, who had hurriedly prepared breakfast with a sleepy face and filled his still-still-still stomach with food, was about to ask the question ‘So, brother, why did you come?’ in front of dessert, when he heard Plantz’s words. .
“sun.”
“What.”
“chess.”
“why.”
“bet.”
“What bet?”
“Do it. Don’t ask.”
“…… Pawn d4.”
If Calian had been sane, he would have acted smart and thought he should know what the bet was, but Calian was still half asleep. Now that I think about it, I think she may have been looking for that early in the morning, but what can I do about what happened already?
I have to leave it.
Anyway, chess started so suddenly.
I must have opened it about a number of times after that.
“Step back.”
“What?”
“The one I just put there.”
“Are you saying it’s a knight?”
“okay.”
“why.”
“Because I feel like I’m going to lose.”
“Who is it?”
“I.”
“I put my knight in my mouth, and I think you will lose because of it, so is it true that you told me to give it back to you?”
“okay.”
“… I’ll just bark. There’s no need for you to do the same.”
“Speech habits.”
“Are you starting to learn how to speak now?”
“That’s it. Get back.”
I used raw herd. Peas.
okay.
Because you are my brother.
I can roughly understand why she wants to let go of Knight, but she begs him to go away anyway, so how can an adult not do that again?
So she backed off.
And lost.
“I feel really unfair.”
“Speak informally.”
“yo. this.”
Even the peas that were rolled and dried for ten days under the summer sun in Secretia wouldn’t be as hard as those ones now. Anyway, it doesn’t make sense at all.
Calian let out a long, silent sigh and spoke.
“Tell me what the bet was. I will listen.”
“answer.”
“What answer are you talking about?”
“What I said yesterday. You didn’t answer.”
Puff puff.
Calian’s hand, which was teasing the remaining pudding again, stopped.
“Is that why you made people so crazy this morning?”
“My brother, your mouth is so heavy.”
“My mouth is heavy. Raven will laugh.”
“No. Answer.”
Plantz, leaning against the backrest, crossed his legs as if he would not go until he heard the answer. Then, he even crossed his arms and completed the preparations that a person demanding an answer should have.
Kalian, who had been sitting silently for a while while watching this, opened his mouth.
“Because I acted without regrets. I know that even when you feel at ease, you worry again, as is your habit. But I stopped preparing for my empty seat a long time ago. It’s been a long time since I hit you.”
Plantz furrowed his eyebrows.
But it means that I didn’t understand why he said that.
“But really, it’s just a coincidence. Because no one knows what happens to people. Whether it’s you, me, Eila, Jan, Kyrie, Lord Hertz, or Demirea, everyone will eventually have a vacant position at some point. When my position becomes empty, it will be empty after that. “Of course, the first person to be chosen as the owner is your brother. That’s why I recommend it. Even if my position becomes empty first, I don’t want you to get involved. I want to save you no matter what happens. I said I would save your life.”
“lie.”
“no.”
“Hidden.”
“There is. That’s not why I’m talking about you as the Grand Duke. So, whenever I go to Arfia Palace, please do it. I’m asking you to do it.”
Plantz, who had been silent for a while, nodded his head.
And he looked at Calian.
“What I hid.”
“If you’re curious, why don’t you win one more game of chess? I’ll never let you lose.”
Calian said, leaving his frowning eyes and smiling brightly at his older brother who was looking at him.
“Don’t worry. I’ll live properly until I apologize to my brother and receive it. No matter what happens.”
“…… okay.”
“yes.”
Anyway, there is nothing more difficult than reassuring Jan and persuading Pea. Still, Calian, who felt like he had completed a fairly big task, let out a long sigh of relief. And he stretched out his hand to take a sip of the cool sparkling water.
however.
– Please speak as soon as you finish speaking. I will come visit you.
Alan’s voice came through the bracelet.
Calian, who had many pricks, gave a cautious answer.
– Master. What’s going on?
– I heard something from Lord Castrin.
…… ah.
I guess I’m going to get scolded again.
He hasn’t been scolded yet for splitting Planz’s insides and Kalyan’s palms because of Rashid Briesen, but it looks like he’s been getting scolded again.
Calian, who had this thought, tried to give an answer.
But Alan’s voice was heard first.
– But you can talk about it after visiting Shurinz.
– What… what happened to Shurinz?
Calian’s eyes narrowed.
Planz, who knew that, looked at Calian.
Alan’s answer was relayed to Kalian, who was smiling with his stern face.
– The Margrave of Shurinz sent a communication to the Association. It is said that the villa was attacked last dawn and His Majesty disappeared.
– Raid.
Calian stood up.
It wasn’t aimed at Lemain.
It was aimed only at Slayman.
Because I had that feeling.
