Reborn as the Enemy Prince - Chapter 464

Chapter 82. If you know it, it’s mild (3)

but sometimes it becomes a craze.

When compared by drawing several parallel horizontal lines on a map of the continent, Tensil was located at a similar height to the north of Kyris. Tensil was located northeast of Kairis and north of Secretia.

Nevertheless, Tensil was a timeless craze. It was a hot wind that did not reach Secretia, let alone Kairis.

The seasons seemed to be divided by the Leidos Mountains, which are high and rugged and mean ‘abyss extending into the sky.’ Even when snow falls in Kairis, on the west side of the long mountain range, and leaves fall in Secretia, in the south, there is an unseasonable heat wave in Tensil.

The wind blew without timing or reason, sometimes for days and sometimes for months, causing the once plump wheat to become dry and twisted, lakes to shrink, and animals to become thirsty.

– Serenti’s anger!

Because of this, people in countries other than Tensil called it an upset of Serenti. It was said that Serenti was personally scolding the descendants of the careless priests who rebelled against Secretia, who served Serenti, and cut off such a beautiful country. The great ancient dragons know how to bless, and even the mere monsters, the Harpies, know how to curse, so how much more so can Serenti, who created them all, punish a nation from generation to generation?

In fact, there is some truth to this opinion as it is a phenomenon that did not exist before the country was divided. Thanks to this, Tensil was busy hiding the damage from the craze. Serenity’s sorrow in a country that worships Serenti several times more earnestly than Secretia, a country founded by a priest. Is there a more ridiculous noose than that?

However, that is just a guess.

Is the craze sweeping Tensil really the result of Serenti? Is it due to the geographical feature of being adjacent to the southern Great Desert, with the mountain range behind it? Or is it due to the mischievous pranks of the golden wyrm Silestian, who is said to have nested in the Great Desert? Or is it due to Danu’s influence at all? Maybe it’s because I didn’t receive it. No one has discovered the exact reason.

It was not because there were no climatologists and geographers. It wasn’t the only reason curious wizards didn’t pay attention to it.

It was because it was Tensil.

It was a country of people who believed that there is no natural phenomenon in the world that Serenti is not involved in, so they did not trust the words of scholars. They believed that magic performed by humans was against the natural order of Serenti, so they did not listen to the words of wizards, and dragons were also Serenti. Since I believed that they were descendants of , I did not think that they would dare to mess around in the land of Serenti. Also, since it was a country that did not doubt their faith in Serenti, they could not believe that Serenti would really have punished Tensil.

– Rattle, rattle, rattle!

So, in the end, it was a craze without reason.

The hot and dry craze was coming again.

“The royal fountain will dry up again.”

Tensil, which had been experiencing a long drought, had even blocked water from the fountains of the royal palace.

The river bottom was cracked and the forest dried up. It was around this time that the people who brought in sea water got tired of surviving by making salt-free water. Finally, a light rain fell.

When it started raining, the first thing the Tensil royal family did was say a prayer of thanks to Serenti. After the thank-you event that took place in Sahol, of course, the fountain was restarted. But this time, a craze broke out. The rain that barely fell has all dried up. The fountain has to stop again.

“Then Tedric will visit Serenti’s temple again. Hardly. Faithfully. With all his heart.”

– Shoot!

A smile appears in the grey-purple eyes that were looking at the fountain gushing coolly outside the window. Dry sunlight fell on her slightly grayish brown hair.

When long, straight hair without any decorations blows in the warm wind, puffs up, and then falls down. The person watching this opened his mouth.

“You are so consistent.”

The daughter of a duke, neither a duke nor a duke. Such a person was calling the king of a country by name. Looking down at the Duke’s Palace’s fountain, which, unlike the palace’s, will never stop, no matter the drought or craze.

He said the appearance was consistent.

It hasn’t been that long since I last saw it, but nothing has changed. The voice, the way he spoke, the look in his eyes, and the way he stood upright looking out the window

were “difficult to find.”

Even the appearance of only saying what I want to say is consistent.

“What do you mean it was difficult to get?”

“Think before you ask questions, Rashid.”

“… Renetis. What do you mean?”

Selena, Rashid’s mother, who had been looking out the window, nodded slightly.

“They say it’s hard to find the ingredients to make it now that Devlan is gone. They’re already crying that it’s going to crumble every time they plant it, but you’ve also wasted one, so use it carefully.”

He was seriously injured by Calian and was caught up in the movement magic, which ultimately resulted in his heart being torn out. Thanks to this, the stone in the heart, named Renetis, was damaged.

Rashid, who came back to life thanks to the new Renetis that was replaced just before he died, was captivated by laughter.

“If I hadn’t been forced to retrieve it like this, I wouldn’t have wasted the stone.”

“You’re speaking without thinking again.”

– Sarah.

There was the sound of clothes rubbing against each other.

Selena’s face, standing against the rays of sunlight, could not be seen clearly. All Rashid could see were tight black pants, a black shirt, a silver vest, a dark purple short jacket, and a long necklace decorated with large and small pearls and diamonds.

Everything was clearly visible. However, only the face of Shelena, who finally woke up three days after overcoming the danger of death and finally faced it, was obscured by the sunlight that was shining against her back and could not be seen properly.

Still, Rashid did not consider it regrettable.

“If I had just left it alone, would you have lived to see that craze again? Stop being immature and be thankful. Forget that you failed to deliver even a single satisfactory news and take the loss to save them.”

Selena probably has no intention of meeting and chatting with her son anyway.

Rashid, who did not bite his gaze at Selena at all, opened his mouth, as if trying to overcome the glare of the sun.

“You probably didn’t call me here to save me, so why did you suddenly bring me back? And it even took that wizard’s hands to do it.”

“Serjane has disappeared.”

“He will be joining the delegation celebrating King Kairis’ birthday near the border.”

Tensil’s Crown Prince Serjane has escaped Shelena’s surveillance. He must have been planning to join Tensil’s delegation that was visiting Lemain’s birthday celebration. Because Lemain allowed the crown prince of Tensil to come with an envoy.

To be exact, it was Kalian’s permission to persuade Randel.

“What was the reason?”

“Serjane plans to join hands with Kairis.”

“Probably not Lemain.”

“This is Prince Randel.”

“I wouldn’t have gone there just to look after things.”

“He is actually Prince Calian.”

There was only one ostensible reason for Serjane’s visit.

Friendship with Randel.

And one more thing. It was to meet Randel and see for himself whether it would be okay to entrust him with the throne of Tensil. If Serjane was considered worthy, he would no longer act as a fake crown prince. That was the reason why I asked Calian for help to allow me to enter Kairis.

However, if Serjane did not discover the king’s side in Randel, he would probably live as ‘Serjane’ for the rest of his life.

After he himself emerged as the new king of Tensil.

“okay.”

Selena raised her eyes. Then, looking at Rashid, who seemed to have adjusted to the brightness of the sunlight, he expressed his feelings about Serzane.

“You have great aspirations. You dream of becoming your own master.”

It was not a crude criticism of the origins of the fake Serjane, who was the bodyguard of the deceased Crown Prince Serjane. However, the words were not so much that it could not be understood as a sarcasm about the grand dream of a swordsman who dared to look up at the sky.

“Can I kill you?”

“You speak as if you have forgotten about your failure.”

“It did not fail. The real Serjane is dead.”

“No matter what’s inside, Serzane of the Arielli royal family is alive. That’s why it’s a failure. Think about it.”

What stands in front of people is the shell of Sergein, not the substance of Sergein.

Does it matter whether what’s in it is real or fake? Anyway, no royal family or nobility on the continent does not stand in front of people revealing their true feelings, whether it is the real substance or a fake substance imitating the shell. What on earth does it matter what’s inside?

So, even if Serjeine was not a real royal, but a knight-errant who perfectly imitated the royal family, it was not important to Selena. Because of this situation where the killed Serjane is alive and moving again, all we can do is keep him alive for a while. Unless they tied up Serjane in front of people and made him take off his disguise, the current Serjane was the real Serjane, the crown prince of Tensil.

Therefore, it is true that Rashid failed to kill Sergein.

Rashid quietly closed his eyes and nodded.

And I decided not to refute further claims that I had failed.

“So what are you trying to do?”

Selena smiled.

“Going to Kairis. I didn’t think imitating the crown prince’s shell would be useful, but it did. Surprisingly.”

“……Can I kill the crown prince of Tensil in the land of Kairis?”

I asked a slightly more specific question.

Selena, who was looking at Rashid blankly, opened her mouth.

“I’ll call a wizard and send you back.”

“yes.”

“The delegation will arrive by the time we finish the current work.”

“All right.”

There was no mention of whether it would be okay to kill him.

Since there was no particular need for confirmation, Rashid did not ask any more questions. And after saying hello, he turned around.

“I hope no further damage occurs, Rashid.”

But Selena added one thing.

Rashid, who had been standing expressionless for a while, looked back.

Selena continued speaking as she turned away from Rashid and looked out the window again.

“Be useful.”

Rashid’s mouth moved at these words. The lips gently rising to the sides created a pleasant smile.

“Yes, mother.”

I came up with an answer that was nice to hear.

* * *

Danu’s warning.

After hearing those words from Randel, Plantz said he would immediately call Hina. Then Euria, who had been protecting Randel, quietly stepped forward.

‘The power the Baron uses is similar to that of Healer Sir Verne. I think it’s better if we don’t face each other.’

When Freyr found out that Hina could use the same power as him, it was unclear whether Freyr would welcome Hina or reject her.

‘I’ve seen Whitlin’s child heal several people at the same time, but I’ve never seen that before. But I’ve never heard of anyone using that power to build a shield. If Freyr thinks that his power is unique, it would be better not to let another elf, even a half-elf, think that he can harm his uniqueness.’

Siona, who heard this story the next day, also expressed the same opinion. So Planz couldn’t call Hina.

Thanks to this, a new concern arose.

What should I do if Freyr, who has already discovered my power, offers to treat the injured crown prince? If the treatment is performed, it will be discovered that the person lying in the room is actually Kalian. If that happens, the defenseless Kalyan may be attacked. How can the treatment be prevented without raising suspicion?

After thinking about that, I stopped worrying. Didn’t Hina recognize someone’s disguise even from afar? Freyr may have been deceived the first time, but Freyre was not incapable of recognizing the disguise a second time.

Therefore, Plants summoned Kirie again and asked Siona and Demirea to strengthen the guard of the room where the crown prince was staying. This was because they were concerned that Freyr, who already knew that it was Calian who was injured, would actually attack.

However, Freyr did not come to visit or attack Calian, saying he would treat him. Thanks to this, Kalian had a comfortable sleep for three days.

“Thank goodness. I was worried it would wilt.”

After yelling at the nobles of Whitlin.

Kalian ordered that the investigation continue as originally planned.

After summoning Kyrie to the conference room so that he could no longer talk about covering up this matter, he also contacted Lemain using the communication equipment connected to Hina. And right then and there, he relayed the story about the Harpy attack and Calian’s villa. We also obtained Lemain’s permission to use Vulcan instead of Elazar to track down the criminal.

After that, he left the conference room without any delay and was moving towards Freyr. With Plantz’s face still on, Plantz was placed inside a small silent membrane.

For your information, Randel went straight back to his room from the conference hall.

I tried to let Pea into the room and meet Freyre alone, but now, of course, Pea just followed me around.

“You seem to have broadened the scope of your barking. You even said that to your brother’s new subordinate.”

“I told you to wait and not worry. Other than what Shurinz said once, I didn’t even yell at Eila.”

“… Then. Why.”

“Why? Did Aela tell you to stay alive and not wither?”

“no.”

“Or not.”

“no.”

“Should I ask Ayla? I’m curious.”

“I don’t like it.”

“yes.”

Calian, who was smiling brightly after confirming that there was no one around, opened his mouth.

“Dmirea has manifested an auror. With Evan’s death, I am now the fifth sword, so if Kirie and Dmirea can get on the path of the sword without any problems, the sixth and seventh… If you are greedy, you can become the fifth sword. “It could be the eighth sword.”

“Rashid Briesen. I think he’s a sword master.”

Sreuk.

The sound of Calian’s footsteps, who still had Planz’s face on, disappeared for a moment and then came again. Since Silent was there anyway, it wasn’t something to worry about, but Calian quickly made footsteps again and answered.

“Did you recognize it?”

“Lord Hill and the Duke. That he would.”

“…… Yes. I thought he would be at least as good as Kirie, but he was stronger than I expected. Anyway, Rashid Brissen doesn’t seem to be the type to announce that he has entered the path of the sword, so my brother, just do it for the eighth time. ”

“Magic.”

“You said you wouldn’t learn magic because it’s boring. You’ve learned all of Brisen’s sword techniques, so whether you just use the sword, learn more magic, or try something else, do as you like. Anyway, as it is now, brother, I’m proud that I did a really good job. Because it works.”

Barking.

Planz, who was thinking, opened his mouth.

“I can’t thank you enough.”

Calian’s beige shoes heading up the stairs stopped for a moment. Then, he looked down at the black shoes of Plantz, who was walking a little behind him, and spoke in a low voice.

“I’m not the type of person who raised you to hear you say thank you.”

“…Not. In the conference hall.”

I am referring to what I said in front of the nobles that it was I who protected Calian. Calian blinked his light green eyes and took a long breath.

“I was worried about getting hit again. I didn’t even think about saying thank you.”

“why.”

“You’re not the kind of person who thinks you protected me when I was young. But you said it was protection, so I made my own decisions and words. If you got angry and told me not to use my face as you want… I was worried about that. ”

Plantz didn’t answer.

“It’s not something your brother will be thankful for. As long as you don’t get angry, it’s okay.”

“…… okay.”

“yes.”

Calian nodded slightly and took another step.

Even after returning to Kalian’s form, he keeps making noises, wondering if it will become a habit.

Jabak Jabak.

Plantz, who continued to follow with smaller footsteps, closed his red mouth. Then he raised his red eyes, looked at his younger brother, and opened his mouth.

“After the inspection is over, I think I’ll go back to the elf city.”

“You want to hit Danu, not me.”

“okay.”

“Yes. Have a nice trip.”

But Kalyan answered like this.

When Planz, who frowned, was about to say something, Calian’s low voice was heard.

“By then, the elf city will be safe as well. It will be okay for you and Brother Randel to come and see the sea.”

“……My brother has made another rash plan.”

“Negotiations were poor and threats were received.”

Without further explanation, Calian climbed the stairs, passed the servants’ greetings, and continued walking. I walked quietly like that until I reached the study where Freyr was said to be, the place I had come to while intoxicated with sleeping pills.

– Jump up!

Calian pushed open the door to the study.

I left Plantz behind, who was unconsciously relieved that his younger brother had opened the door with his hand instead of his foot this time.

The smell of blood was strong.

It was the smell of blood from wolves that had been killed here before Sahol.

Calian frowned at that, but played with his feet as if he had no hesitation. It was aimed at Freyr, who was slowly getting up while looking at Calian.

“Calian… Prince.”

“Yes. I’m glad that you seem to recognize me better now.”

Freyr looked at Calian without answering.

Calian, who was facing Freyre with a face that had lost all smiles, let out a low voice.

“Have you seen my article? He’s been quite busy wandering around while I was gone.”

“I haven’t met you properly yet.”

“You’ll have to take a look.”

“Why is that so?”

Calian raised his head.

Then, I suddenly remembered my red eyes again and opened my mouth.

“Because he’s your son. Whitlin.”

Freyr No.

The mouth of the person called Whitlin closed quietly.
