Reborn as the Enemy Prince - Chapter 454

Chapter 80. Meow (4)

The wind is blowing.

The wind is blowing, not strong enough to make my hair ache, but not cold enough to make me close my clothes without my knowledge.

– Crying!

The people of Whitlin seem to know that this is the perfect wind to enjoy. The pleasant sound of the silver bars decorating the large windows waving in the wind came into the room. Angled glass beads tied together sway and scatter small rainbows created by gathering sunlight.

“It may be unfair to call it my hometown, but it is still a place that fits well with a prince.”

While listening to a soft sound different from the sound of a bell and looking at a rainbow moving around in the wind, the blue-haired wizard somehow made such a sentimental sound.

It’s not wrong.

Although it was not his hometown, Whitlin was definitely a place that suited Calian well. Not only was it very windy, but it was especially true that it was a territory where you never went hungry.

Therefore, those who heard Arsene’s words nodded.

– Sweet.

Arsene drank the water that was on the table and set down the glass of water with a slight lemon scent. Then, he scooped up a large piece of the carrot cake in front of him and put it in his mouth.

Arsene had never eaten properly seasoned food during the long days he spent in the great desert. That’s why Arsene didn’t like sweet tastes that much. No matter how much I eat, I can never get used to it.

If that were the case, I should have hated salty things, but strangely, I liked salty things. It was as if from now on, I would fill my body with as much salt as I had never encountered in the great desert.

Anyway, Arsene was like that, but he didn’t even refuse carrot cake. Soft bread with a chewy texture and a good fragrance of carrots and cinnamon, plus whipped cream that melts in your mouth. There was a reason why I loved the taste of the cake with all of these things coming together so well, but more than that.

“I haven’t had lunch yet.”

This was largely due to the fact that I had been busy running around and researching since the day before, so I couldn’t eat properly.

“I didn’t tell you to eat.”

The person who was quietly watching Arsene said this. It happened that it was there just in time for Arsene to come, but he didn’t ask him to eat it.

Arsene grinned at these words.

“Since you don’t like carrots, I’ll eat them.”

“…I guess you’re okay.”

“Were you worried that there might be poison in here?”

The person across from me nodded.

In fact, it wasn’t that Arsene said it because he felt bad about eating it, but rather because he didn’t know what was in it. I couldn’t tell whether the carrot cake suddenly handed to me, said to have been sent by Freire, was an apology, a sign of friendship, or a German paper sent because I was angry about today’s incident.

Of course, Freyr said that it was something Freyja liked, but you never know.

Anyway, other than being suspicious, I didn’t feel bad after receiving the cake. If he had sent it simply because Freyja liked it, it would have been considered as a complete disregard for Calian’s words that he should not regard me as Freyja’s son, but fortunately Freyar added a word after that. ‘I don’t know what you and the two princes like yet, so if you tell me, I’ll give you your favorite snack tomorrow.’

“Anyway, I heard an interesting rumor.”

“what.”

The person who was looking down at the disappearing cake and thinking about Freyr’s words asked briefly. Then Arsene took the last piece of cake, swallowed it, and spoke.

“It’s a pig thief. For about a month now, a couple of pigs raised inside and outside the castle have been disappearing every day. The garrison guards who are supposed to investigate this are making jokes, so the thieves can’t be caught. But the pigs…”

“ “Harpies like it.”

“That’s right. Do you know that too?”

Hearing this, the person across from me frowned.

It would have been nice to have seen that at least.

Unfortunately, Arsene couldn’t look anywhere else as he took a few more sips of lemon-scented water and put it down.

The blue-haired wizard, who knew full well that the pig thief had appeared, but did not know his future, spoke.

“It is said that around the time when Rashid Briesen was running around, the pigs that the Harpy liked were secretly disappearing from all over the Whitlin area. When I collected the stories of those who lost their pigs, strangely, there was only one area where the pigs did not disappear.”

“so.”

“Everyone has problems, but my teacher told me to first be suspicious if there is a place that seems unusually clean. I would like to go there, but the problem is… that place is outside the outer walls. If I try to go outside the outer walls, the garrison will attack me. “Aren’t you going to wonder why I’m leaving?”

“I will do it.”

“But I have no real excuse.”

“Probably not.”

“Besides, even if I make an excuse and leave, won’t there be a record of my entry and exit?”

“I’ll stay.”

“Then the prince will know right away that I have disobeyed his orders.”

“got it.”

Arsene raised his head.

Then he looked into the bright red eyes of the person who had been sitting across from him from earlier and spoke.

“Yes. So, for the time being, His Majesty the Crown Prince, who is merely our prince’s older brother and not vice-captain, came to see me like this in the hope that he would give me an excuse to go outside the outer walls.”

“why.”

“Are you asking the obvious? If our prince found out that I was trying to go out, wouldn’t he send me out of this world? He smiled so sweetly.”

“So pretty is… something like this?”

Bright red eyes brighten.

The red lips move beautifully and draw a pretty line.

“Yes, just like now… beautifully…”

“It must be beautiful. I know it well.”

Slowly.

“Are you… not my Majesty… but… the Prince?”

The face of the blue-haired wizard, who did not know that Calian and Plantz had returned to their original state because he had been diligently gathering information ever since Calian and Plantz had gone out without Calian’s knowledge while they were swapped, turned pale.

Soon, my brain, which was good at magic calculations, started working quickly.

It means that you have just started counting the things you did wrong.

However, it was as if he was telling the truth about the incident in which he had arbitrarily quit the escort job that Calian had ordered him to do and secretly went out to investigate. Calian heard Doul Planz call him by the profane title, ‘For the time being, you are not the Vice Commander, but simply the Crown Prince, who only treats you as the older brother of our Prince.’ The three of them were caught trying to disobey Calian’s orders again by using tricks. I talked to Kalian behind his back.

five.

Kalian ate all of his favorite carrot cake. Kalian didn’t even tell me to eat it.

And six.

“Don’t you even recognize me? You said you wouldn’t forget me… Lord Hertz.”

I didn’t recognize Kalyan.

I spent the night going from bar to bar gathering rumors, so my eyes got blurry and my thoughts shortened, so I couldn’t recognize them.

I don’t know anything else, but there is no way I can be forgiven for the fifth and sixth times. In particular, the fifth is a mistake that cannot be forgiven even if Serenti committed it, and the sixth is a mistake that cannot be forgiven and should not be committed by anyone, but Arsene has just committed it. I committed it.

Arsene, whose complexion was the same as his hair, stood up shakily. Then Kalyan, who had been observing the situation while quietly answering because he seemed to be confusing the pale peas with the pretty me, asked with a soft smile.

“Why are you waking up?”

“I’m getting up to kneel and raise my hands, prince.”

“Then do you think I will forgive you?”

“You never know.”

“It’s okay, so don’t do that. Let’s make it.”

“What do you mean?”

“A statue. He said he wanted to make it.”

The blue complexion becomes vibrant in an instant.

“Are you talking about the prince’s statue?”

“Okay, that one.”

“Prince, are you giving a reward to the ugly bastard? Are you still recognizing him for his hard work and giving him a gift?”

Calian, who was looking into Arsene’s eyes that seemed to be filled with lust, let out a voice as beautiful as the waves tangled in those lust.

“Then I can use that as an excuse to destroy Lord Hertz.”

Arsene swallowed hard.

Was it spit or breath that just passed by?

I can’t really tell the difference.

“I’ll bring the cake back to you.”

“where.”

“Wouldn’t the same cake go to your older brother, the Crown Prince? He doesn’t eat ripe carrots, so I went…” We don’t get along well, and we

always fight when we meet, but we know each other’s tastes well. So how can I say things are bad between the two?

“Leave it.”

“Okay. I’ll just leave it at that.”

“They told me to make a statue.”

“Our Coco is still young, prince.”

“You know, Dad.”

“Mom needs it too.”

“So.”

“You were wrong.”

“what.”

“Can I write this as a reflection? There is too much to put into words.”

“I haven’t even seen what I gave you before.”

“Wouldn’t it be fun in its own way to collect them one by one like this? I’m sorry.”

Whether he did something wrong or not, he answers very well.

“Okay, so make one. I’ll go outside the outer castle.”

Coco, I’m your mom.

I’m sorry.

It looks like the prince really wants to destroy this mother, so I can’t take care of you any longer.

So, please listen to your dad carefully and not be a picky eater, so don’t just pick peas from the feed and eat some of that damn duckweed floating in the lake in moderation…

But it’s strange.

Why do you keep saying the same thing?

“Are you really… telling me to make it?”

Tap.

There was a tapping sound on the table.

How could Arsene not know that this was Calian’s habit when he didn’t want to say the same thing again? Of course, I knew that I couldn’t tap the ear of the person in front of me who couldn’t understand what he was saying, so I had to tap something appropriate among the objects in front of me instead.

“You gave me a stick, so I should give you a carrot too.”

Calian said this, and of course Arsene couldn’t understand it. Kalian, who was determined to reap a good harvest and stay healthy thanks to his generous generosity, added an explanation.

After hearing all that, Arsene responded with a rather happy expression on his face.

“I understand. I will work hard to make it.”

“Make it well.”

“Yes, I will.”

“Tell Lord Siren to get some rest now.”

“all right.”

Calian nodded and started to go out the window, as was his habit, but stopped for a moment. It wasn’t because I was on the 6th floor, it was because of Jan. Didn’t you promise to tell me in advance before you go somewhere?

– Jan. I’m going to go outside the outer castle for a while and come back.

So now, the story was told through the bracelet that Plantz would have returned after it was used.

– where.

of course. of course.

If I had known that Pea hadn’t returned the bracelet yet, I would have called Jan directly and told him.

Calian, who almost went down in history as the sword master who ended his life by slipping from the window frame on the 6th floor, looked dumbfounded.

-Why are you answering this? What about Jan?

I haven’t met my brother’s famous servant yet.

So where are you going again?

Pea, whose speech was extremely short, not because he was sick, but because he was exhausted from pretending to be Calian, did his best to convey those two sentences.

– yet. where.

Called.

– …… I have something to take a moment to find out

– Come with me.

– Brother, do you know that you are a patient now?

– I’m better.

– Do you know where you are going?

– Outside the outer castle.

– I don’t know where it is outside the outer castle

.

– I don’t know why I’m going

.

– It might be dangerous.

– know.

– You can’t ride a carriage.

– Don’t get on it.

– …… Are you really bored without Lucy and Anne?

– okay.

…… and.

I’m bored.

Peas.

– Because I won’t come out.

– You are correct in saying that you do not arbitrarily stand in the way and do things like that.

– okay.

– Really.

– I won’t do it.

Rolling around.

Anemic peas are coming after me again.

okay. He said he was bored.

What can I do? Because of me, Lucy and Anne can’t see each other, so I have to take them with them. It would be safer to take that guy with him than to leave him here. It has to be safe.

– Come out then. Please return the bracelet to Jan.

– okay.

Calian let out a short sigh and jumped out the window.

Arsene, who knew very well how high this place was, but who knew even better what kind of person jumping from here was, turned his head from the window. And then he got up and went out of the room.

I was going to Randel’s room. Because I had to create something while escorting Randel on behalf of Euria.

A statue of Freya and Calian standing together.

Make it into ice that won’t melt as a gift to Freyr.

* * *

– From the next schedule onwards, we must make sure to accompany the healer Sir Bern.

The voice conveyed is full of dissatisfaction.

– I think that way, the prince will be more considerate.

– You know, Jan. There are no eyes outside the outer walls, so I don’t know what they will do.

– That’s right. Why do you go to a place like that alone?

– I won’t go alone. Go with your brother.

– It’s no different.

If the peas find out, they’ll say it’s unfair again.

Calian, who slightly turned his head from above Raven, looked at Plantz and smiled.

Perhaps it was because he ate well while imitating Kalian, or because the power of blessing was working hard, but although it was not noticeable to others, Pea’s complexion had clearly improved.

– are you okay. Don’t disturb me. Ayla and Kirie have work to do, and Sir Hertz has to protect Brother Randel. So there is no one else to make fun of now.

– You know Siren Siren? What about the Balkans?

– Siren needs to get some rest, and Vulcan is an army. If you move freely without solid evidence, it may be convenient now, but it won’t be good for you later. Who follows the king who has a record of leading his army everywhere? If I just go, nothing much will happen.

– I guess I should have learned the sword.

– The baby elephant just needs to learn how to kick from Reric or Den.

– …… It doesn’t taste good.

– It tastes delicious. I’m not saying I don’t like it, so don’t be depressed.

– yes.

Many, many, many!

Just before the sun sets.

People who are returning to their homes can be seen turning their heads when they hear the sound of horses’ hooves.

It is impossible not to recognize the people sitting on the two horses heading towards the outer castle. No matter how wealthy Whitlin is, isn’t there a difference in the clothes with precious textures that not only here but no one in Kairisis can easily wear?

A person wearing a black shirt and tie embroidered with gold thread, and a dark navy blue jacket and pants. And a person wearing black pants, a white shirt, a black tie, a dark pink vest, and a light pink jacket.

The attention that was focused on these two first focused on Plantz, who was already famous. Those eyes immediately turn to an unfamiliar face coming right next to me.

This is Prince Calian.

I see their eyes and mouths opening. The light of infinite trust and admiration that new wizards in Balkan would see when they first saw Calian poured from his eyes. Calian, pretending not to see the familiar gazes, lowered his eyes and spoke again to Yan.

– Is Kirie back?

– no. Not yet.

– Let me know as soon as you get back.

– All right. When will the prince come?

Calian, who was dressed too well to be visiting a place where a fight might occur, took out a pocket watch from the pocket of his shiny pink jacket, which was quite similar to the one he wore at the luncheon.

– As early as today, or as late as tomorrow morning.

– There is a big difference.

– The outer castle is closed at night. If I were alone, I would have climbed over the castle wall, but I didn’t.

– …… You haven’t forgotten that the prince is a prince, right?

– I didn’t forget. If they find out that I made you open the door in the middle of the night, someone other than me will get criticized.

– My name is Plantz.

– okay.

– All right.

– They say my villa is outside the outer castle.

– Did you remember the prince’s villa?

– I told you this a while ago, but maybe I forgot?

– I thought you forgot because you didn’t really thank me.

– Thank you. many.

– yes. Anyway, there was no suitable place inside the castle, so we set it up outside the outer castle. Although it is outside the outer castle, it is within Whitlin’s defense range, and Whitlin also said that they would station someone to defend and manage the villa.

– okay. So, don’t worry, I’ll be visiting there at some point. If anything happens, contact me.

– yes.

– By the way, Jan.

– yes.

– Where exactly was the villa outside the outer castle?

– You forgot, right?

– Just where. If you tell me, I won’t forget it anymore.

Kalian, who quickly soothed the whining baby elephant, listened to Yan’s explanation.

– It looks like it’s in a quiet place.

– You once said that the prince wanted to be in a place like that.

– huh. I remember. They say it looks pretty when the wind blows a lot, so I really wanted to go there.

– yes. that’s right.

-Your dog was curious too. I am.

– You’ve seen the dog Jan.

– Yes… I saw it.

– You didn’t forget that either, right?

– no. I didn’t forget.

– yes. Anyway, where is the villa…

outside Whitlin’s outer castle?

A place with a clear view of wide wheat fields and a real river, not an artificial one.

A place where a lot of good wind blows and no direction is blocked.

Kalian wanted to stay and see as much as he wanted.

I heard an explanation about a villa built in such a location. I found out exactly where my villa, which Jan had chosen and placed in a good location, was located.

Knock knock knock.

After reminiscing about his childhood, Calian’s fingers tapped on Raven’s saddle.

“why.”

Plantz, who noticed that his younger brother was lost in thought, asked as he passed by a bridge where he saw Raven’s ears perk up after realizing that his master was lost in thought.

Calian, forgetting for a moment the stares from the people who were still continuing to follow him, smiled brightly. There were sounds of joy from the people watching Calian pass by. However, Planzmann frowned, knowing full well that the expression that most people make when encountering something ‘interesting’ from the younger brother’s point of view lies in that smile.

“Brother, if you frown at me here, I will be known as a mean crown prince who mistreats his pretty younger sister.”

Plantz didn’t answer.

Because it was a rumor that had already spread and was not a false rumor.

“I’m the only one who can blame you. I’m telling you to calm down so that no-good people talk about it.”

“…… okay.”

“yes.”

Plantz nodded with a short sigh and relaxed his frowning eyes. That didn’t really change anything, but anyway.

Calian, who was smiling brightly as he looked at Plantz, who had a round and gentle expression again, opened his mouth.

“Lord Hertz said that it would be suspicious if the pig thief didn’t touch it. But I don’t know what to do if the place the pig thief didn’t touch was my territory.”

“What kind of nonsense are you saying again?”

“Brother Hapiyo. Lord Hertz, who was checking it, pointed out a suspicious location.”

“Are you saying it overlaps with the place where your sister’s villa is located?”

“Did you know about my villa too?”

“Reric. It seems like he’s worried about that.”

“…… ah.”

The 3rd prince’s valet gave the 3rd prince a villa as a gift, but the crown prince’s valet is said to be worried about what to give him.

I can’t believe I boasted about it.

He said he would have to meet Jan and nag him later.

Calian, who understood Relic’s burden well as he was thinking about a birthday present for Hina, shook his head. And I put that aside for now and opened my mouth.

“Yes. It’s just as you said, brother. The places overlap.”

“It would be an appropriate place to create and hide things that are disadvantageous to your brother.”

“I see. I should have thought about it a long time ago.”

“Who would dare touch the royal villa?”

Could it be that someone did something strange to Calian’s villa?

So, Kalyan chuckled when asked if it was natural that he didn’t keep it in mind.

“If you dare Rashid.”

“Speak informally.”

“Wouldn’t Rashid have done enough of that?”

If Zeon and Harpy are related, and if any evidence about Harpy comes from Calian’s villa, then a link between Calian and Zeon is created. If that happens, it will be plausible evidence to place Kalyan, not Rashid, behind those who attacked the royal forest and the forest north of the palace this time.

I still don’t know why the Harpy was released in front of Calian.

“You’ll find out when you get there.”

“yes.”

Raven’s feet became a little faster.

Estina also increased her speed.

Although it was not as fast as when I first came to Whitlin, the horse ran at a clear speed. Thanks to the bright clothes I chose to stand out more than Plants, I continued to run, ignoring all the attention.

Out of the inner city, passing through the downtown area and the residential and commercial streets. I passed a small park, a market, and another residence again and ran outside the outer walls. Until the surrounding area was filled with wheat fields, and the small farms and houses that were once visible were no longer visible.

Until I saw a villa built on a small hill that contained all the wind, standing alone in the dark.

– Degurrrrr…… Tuk!

He ran until the head of an unknown person rolled in front of Raven’s feet.

Raven stopped and Estina followed.

Plantz looked away from the face of the man who seemed to have been hit without even knowing what had happened at Raven’s feet. Instead, Calian looked down at the man’s face.

“Are you here? I was already planning to call the prince, but it worked out.”

Aila’s voice was heard.
