Reborn as the Enemy Prince - Chapter 430
Chapter 76. When I say yap, I yap (5).
It was a night like any other.
Scarlett came out into the street, carrying several packages of sandwiches to take to the palace. Then he called a carriage that had no customers and got on it.
The carriage carrying the large guest began to move quietly.
– Multi-faceted, multi-faceted!
Before long, the carriage passed through Astrisha and Einansha streets and entered the square. A noise that could not be compared to when passing through the street was heard inside the carriage.
It was the middle of the night, but wasn’t today a day with a lot to talk about? That’s why it seemed like people didn’t leave the square. The sounds of happy conversations, musicians playing, and singing were making the whole square noisy.
But at some point.
– Many… many sides.
The noise in the square disappeared and the carriage slowed down.
Scarlett felt something strange and looked out the window. Everyone who would have been busy chatting, playing instruments, and singing just a moment ago was looking at the sky.
Then the carriage finally stopped.
Instead of complaining about that, Scarlett just got off the carriage. And then I followed the others and looked up at the sky.
“What the hell is that…”
The moon had disappeared. There were no stars visible.
Even as the moon wanes, dawn dawns, and the sun rises, I can see huge wings that seem to illuminate the darkness forever. There was darkness on the black wings that seemed to cover the moon when the moon was bright and to set the sun when the sun rose.
– ……Saaaaa……
That brilliant darkness came down from the sky.
That peaceful darkness flowed in the wind.
A pitch-black light that seemed to sweep through everyone’s hearts appeared. After that, the statues of Hatsuara and Sispanian looked at each other, hovering around for a while as if embracing each other, before spreading out towards the royal palace.
– Shake it off.
Someone knelt down. Someone bowed down. Another person could not lower his head, while another person held his hands together and lowered his head. Some people shed tears, while others by their side laughed.
Everyone there experienced a miracle that could no longer be considered a legend.
* * *
Siona exhaled.
Demirea took a deep breath.
After the silent punishment of the merciful archmage was over, all that remained were the clothes without a trace of soot, the weapons, the stone that had faithfully done its job in the men’s hearts, and only one prisoner.
That was the only trace that there were two hundred soldiers. Not even hair or bone fragments were left behind, and everything was burned away.
Allen, who had stunned the half-fazed Zeon warrior, turned back. Then, looking at Siona and Demirea, he calmly opened his mouth.
“It’s because of me that you’ve seen a difficult situation.”
Demirea slowly shook her head. Siona, who was nearby, blinked a couple of times and then answered.
“It’s been a tough time, and I’m glad I’m on the same side as you.”
“Honest.”
“Because elves don’t lie.”
Alan laughed under his breath and looked up at the sky. He snapped his fingers toward his protective shield that had not been used before.
The thick film that had tightly blocked the area where Siona had cut began to disappear again. At that moment, a powerful magical energy flowing from a distant part of the sky rushed in like a tidal wave.
– Jing!
Siona’s sword moved quickly.
But I couldn’t pull out the sword. This is because I saw Alan, who was next to me, bending down.
“Sorry for the delay in greeting you.”
Alan’s belated greeting came to the person who had been guessing that he would visit even before Danu closed the path to the forest. It seemed like a calm voice at first glance, but it was slightly shaking at the end. Although I had met Will before, this was the first time I had encountered his true self.
– I understand.
The thoughtful answer came to the minds of the three.
Only after that did the other person present manage to move.
It was Demirea.
-Snap!
The light chain armor was folded.
The tip of the heavy sword touched the floor.
Siegfried the Elephant of Kairis.
Honest descendants of Cythros Horn Siegfried who swore allegiance to the Sispanians. A family that has been passed down solely to protect the Cispanian territory, not the royal family of Kairis or the continent of Cysstera.
One knee of the person who would carry the shield touched the floor. The head that had been pointing towards the sky went down so deeply that it could not have been any better. Demirea, who had finally come face to face with the true owner of the family’s shield, showed the example of a knight without being able to utter a single word.
A calm wind blew toward Demirea.
– I was pleased with your beliefs.
Demirea lowered her head a little more without saying another word.
That voice continued to spread.
– However, to me, your choice… was like a butterfly.
He talked about his decision not to stick only to his beliefs.
‘I liked the news because it gave me butterflies.’
The day when flowers bloomed like butterflies in spring, the day when it was said that a precious person stood up again and founded a country.
The face that told the story, the smell of the flowing wind, the sound of yellow flowers fluttering. Eyes filled with joy and less worry.
Words like spring are still etched in my mind.
Words of spring that will never be heard again.
– Because it feels like a flower has bloomed. Fortunately.
I didn’t even know what those words meant, but I understood. So Demirea quietly closed her eyes.
The black light that embraced everything disappeared as it touched my wounded hands.
* * *
The most great Sispanian.
The thoughtful black dragon flapped its wings slowly.
The Balkan knights who were finishing the battle in the royal forest held their breath. The wizards next to them all lowered themselves.
Arsene, who had gotten off the horse without realizing it, bowed very slowly. The wizard’s blue hair swayed in the wind as he bowed to the darkness.
Slayman lowered his sword. I put my knees toward the sky and lowered my head toward the ground. Two blue-gray eyes that had never wavered closed deeply. Long wrinkles appeared around the eyes of this person who confirmed that the beliefs he had maintained until now were not an illusion.
And Lemain.
Lemain’s head, which would not bow in front of anyone, quietly lowered its height. He opened his mouth to face the ancient dragon whose appearance was completely different from the will of the Sispanian he had encountered a long time ago in the Siegfried Duchy.
“I meet the most great Sispanian.”
He touched those who looked up at him as if embracing him, received a belated greeting from the Archmage, and bowed to the Sispanian at that moment who was soothing the anxiety of the next owner who would guard the shield for a long time.
– I told you not to close your eyes.
And I got scolded.
Lemain did not consider what the reprimand was for. Because I know that there have been too many things that I haven’t paid close attention to since I was born.
He simply bowed his head deeply once again.
– Bang!
When all those greetings were over.
A loud metal sound broke the silence outside the outer castle.
Those who blocked the gate to Kairisis and fired red auras at the ice barrier lost their swords. Those who tried to use magic on Lemain fell to the floor. This is because the force applied to the hand holding the sword was not able to overcome the fear that was felt throughout the body.
Soon, black light fell on Zeon’s soldiers who had already lost the will to fight.
– Tell it. That I was not absent.
A few words were addressed to them.
As soon as those words ended, the soldiers disappeared before my eyes. I didn’t run away. Sispanian had returned it to its original place.
It wasn’t because I understood or forgave them. This was because the warning delivered in person should not be forgotten. Let it be known that there will be no further understanding of whose territory Kairisis belongs to in the future, so that the same thing will not be repeated.
– Flap!
The wings that had been immersed in darkness moved again.
The moment it seemed that the tips of the wings had returned to their original positions, the image of the huge dragon that had blocked out all the light in the sky was erased. It completely disappeared without leaving a trace.
Maybe that’s how it felt inside Kairisis.
However, it was not Lemain’s group standing outside the outer castle.
– ……Sarak.
I could hear the sound of light fabrics rubbing against each other.
Arsene, who had been unable to utter a single word and had only been watching what was happening before his eyes, swallowed dryly.
Long hair filled with the darkness that had immersed Kairisis just a moment ago. A black pearl ring worn on a pure white finger beneath a black dress and black shoes that reached down to the toes.
and. Red eyes.
The Sispanian who always looked like he had been seen in portraits was standing in front of everyone.
– Ttogak ttogak.
– Sarak……
Sispanian took a step.
A place where there was a forest connected to a small mountain near the outer castle in a completely different direction than where Arsene was standing. Towards someone standing in front of him.
“…… after.”
Arsene, unable to overcome his nervousness, let out a small breath.
The sound of moving feet only rang twice. But before I knew it, the Sispanian figure had arrived in front of that person.
A person who was hidden in the dark and could not be seen spoke.
– Your understanding is different from mine.
It was like Sispanian.
That voice did not reach my ears.
Danu continued with his obvious words without having to ask who it was.
– I watched. I remembered. I didn’t forget. My will is different from yours. Sispanian.
– It’s nothing else.
– If it is not different, then what is it?
– You disobeyed me.
The darkness is shaken by the ancient dragon’s answer.
It was a quiet word, but the darkness trembled at its anger.
Danu’s words were heard again.
– To change. This is to avoid repetition. Even if it is rebellion, it is necessary.
– Don’t you understand that your actions are interference that goes beyond the line? It was not the human king who caused the tragedy, but your neglect. Even he didn’t understand it clearly, so why bother trying to change it?
– I want to change everything.
– Pride, Biadhanur.
The ancient dragon’s words, as if he would not allow disobedience, were directed at the first life that had bloomed alone.
– Remember that I have not yet been repaid for what I have given you.
– Recall who protected the four children who stood before him.
– Recall that it is not you who survived, but I who saved you.
– Recall that I am simply not weighing the weight of the lives of Sisterra and your children.
It was all Sispanian’s words.
All the words flowed out at the same time and entered my head.
The wind blows at the end of the voice of the person with absolute superiority. Moonlight comes through the wind.
Light shone on Danu’s face, which had been shrouded in darkness.
A young elf with golden eyes and green-white hair hanging down to the floor appeared.
Arsene saw that and clenched his fists.
‘…… Resembles.’
The hair color was different. The eye color was different.
But that face is similar.
That kid.
The child who got Kalian involved in the incident surrounding the sacred object. The child who led Calian to his village and made him aware of the existence of the black stone. The child that Calian met right before he was first attacked by Zeon.
‘Leader!’
That kid.
Looks similar to Sia. It was the same.
– Recall that this is my final understanding.
The Sispanian ultimatum was addressed to Danu.
Should I follow his words or disobey him again? Danu, who did not report it, got bitten into the forest. So he disappeared from everyone. Just as Sispanian appeared in an instant, Danu also disappeared in an instant.
There was a silence that seemed to suffocate even the moonlight.
Sispanian, who had been looking into the forest for a while, turned his head.
– Do not distrust the forest. Because I cannot return to my home.
A supreme voice was heard.
Many people who were wondering whether the forest north of the palace and the royal forest should be burned down to prevent Danu from opening further forest paths into Kairissis nodded.
Sispanian, who had been standing still as if listening to their thoughts, looked at Lemain and Slayman once in a while and then took a step forward.
– Sarah…….
When the shoes touched the floor, there was a sound of the hem of clothes rubbing in front of Lemain. Shoes of the same color were visible through the hem of the black dress.
Lemain raised his head.
Sispanian, who had come right in front of his long-standing descendant, opened his mouth. I brought out a voice that would be transmitted to my ears, not my heart.
“It’s so loud that it’s not enough.”
Is this proving that he is the progenitor of the Kairis royal family? Sispanian said this without any hesitation. After that, he quietly held out his hand.
The tip of a pure white finger stayed in front of Lemain’s forehead for a moment.
Black energy gathers again at the tip of my finger.
The light embraces Lemain and slowly seeps into her.
Lemain, who seemed to immediately understand what was contained in the darkness, raised his head. Then Sispanian continued speaking.
“It’s for that child.”
Whatever it is, I am giving it to you not for you but for your son.
“thank you.”
Lemain nodded slightly and expressed his thanks without any pretense.
Soon Sispanian turned his head. After taking his eyes off his distant descendant who had changed so much from Camilon, the second king of Kairis, he looked at Slayman in silence. Then I turned my eyes again and looked at Arsene.
A serious voice that could not be heard by others came into Arsene’s head.
– I told him to take a look. I handed it to my father.
A riddle-like word.
Arsene looked up to ask what that meant.
I looked up to ask about the child with Danu’s face.
However, the extremely great being had already disappeared.
* * *
Raven took a hot breath.
Since it was that bad, the condition of the other horses that ran with it couldn’t have been good. All the horses present, including Estina, Plantz’s horse, and Iris, Kirie’s horse, let out hot breaths with their entire bodies.
“Just a little longer, Raven.”
Even though he knew that, Calian did not try to stop.
Raven made a purring sound and kicked her foot again. I started running towards the villa that was finally starting to come into view.
I was anxious.
The gates of Shurinz were tightly closed, and the knights who recognized the crown prince’s party hurriedly opened the gates, but the Margrave of Shurinz was nowhere to be seen.
‘Where is the Margrave?’
‘I’m sorry, prince. It hasn’t been seen to disappear since the afternoon. We are searching and searching for the attackers.’
‘I don’t know exactly when it started.’
‘There is a knight who was last seen. They said they saw the Margrave near the villa around 4 p.m.’
The knights who guarded the gate with anxious eyes only conveyed these words.
– …Slap!
– Clang… Clap!
I heard the sound of the thick chain of the completely closed gate hitting the floor and the thick, indestructible lock being locked firmly.
– Tap, tap, tap!
I kept running, leaving the sound behind. Even though I arrived at Schrinz Castle, I couldn’t relax. It is said that even Margrave Emilia went missing.
After briefly confirming that Count Eifrin and his knights, who were standing at the back of the group, were following safely, Calian continued to lead Raven.
– …… many sides, many sides.
– Percussion!
Until Raven’s feet finally stopped.
Until the main gate of the annex palace, which was five times the size of Chermil Palace, was visible in front of me.
Planz, who was looking at the knights of Shurinz, Chamberlain Raoul, and three other servants rushing out of the villa, looked up at the sky.
“The sun is still far from rising.”
Calian, who knew that Planz didn’t often have a pocket watch in his pocket, opened his mouth. Plantz, who was hiding his nervousness, turned his head to look at Randel, who was sitting on the horse and keeping his mouth shut.
“The Marquis of Manasil.”
“I haven’t heard from you yet. Demirea”
“Not yet.”
“yes.”
From Demirea and from Alan. There was no news of any kind. Hina, who was said to be at Wilhelm’s pavilion, was also not informed of the exact situation.
Calian turned his head slightly and asked Randel.
“Is there anything uncomfortable?”
“It is done.”
“Please be patient.”
“…… okay.”
Meanwhile, the door to the villa, which had been completely closed, opened.
– Clap!
– Rumbling…!
Worry, joy, and sadness.
Chamberlain Raoul, with all kinds of expressions on his always calm face, opened the door and came running. Calian, worried that he might be ‘disguised’, turned his head. Kirie, who understood the meaning, opened her mouth as if to reassure her.
“you’re right.”
Although he was jumping differently than usual, the sound of his footsteps was not wrong. Raoul himself was right.
“Your Majesty… I haven’t been able to visit you yet. Have you heard any news from him?”
Raoul, who still didn’t know Lemain’s situation, asked with an old look on his face.
I am afraid that if I relay the situation through communication equipment, something unexpected may happen again. I didn’t tell you that I had safely met Lemain and saved him.
“You are headed to the palace. Don’t worry, you will be safe.”
Calian spoke on behalf of Plantz, who could not give a specific answer to that question. I hope you returned to the palace safely. Not only Raoul but also Plantz nodded after hearing those words.
Isn’t he a guy who can’t lie?
So you will be safe.
“Thank you, my Majesty. Thank you, my prince.”
Raoul’s lower back sank to the floor.
Calian patted the old chamberlain’s shoulder and turned his head.
“Aila.”
“yes.”
“Come out with me and get some shrinz…!”
– Slut!
– Kwaaak!
Since we have arrived at the villa, let’s walk around for a while and look for the Margrave of Schrinz. Calian, who was about to say that, hurriedly stretched out his arms. And then he grabbed something.
– Toad, toad, toad….
A thin stream of blood flows from the hand that caught the object flying towards Plantz’s head.
A short blade with a round hook.
It was memorization.
– Whirr!
– Clap!
As soon as they could confirm it, Count Aprin, the knights, and Kyrie jumped out.
– Ugh!
– Ugh!
Calian’s and Euria’s wide shields unfolded simultaneously. Planz and Randel were wrapped as if trapped inside it. Aela jumped off the horse, drew her sword, and stood on the other side of Calian.
There are no bushes around the villa.
Do not allow bushes to grow taller than your knees. This is to prevent them from sneaking in and attacking you. Since there was no place to hide, it must have been thrown from further away.
“Please go inside. I will check outside later.”
“……Kalian.”
Planz called out to his younger brother in a low voice.
Calian shook his head because it was obvious what he was worried about, and then opened his mouth.
“I’m not going out. I know that your life is more important than that of the Margrave of Shurinz. I’ll stay by your side until we catch what kind of guy he is…” “No.
”
It seems like you should stop saying things that are obvious.
Plantz stopped speaking quickly and raised his finger. The memorization held in Kalian’s hand was not. He pointed to the hand that had grabbed it.
Calian’s red eyes moved quietly. He turned his gaze following the tips of Planz’s fingers.
– …Tuk.
Smaller drops of blood flowed to the floor.
The scar on my palm where I last spilled it.
All of the small cuts had already healed.
Because the Cispanian blessing has become a little less thoughtful.
