Reborn as the Enemy Prince - Chapter 520

Chapter 91. Not pearls, but mithril (3).

Don’t take any if you come by and say you’re just stopping by.

I wasn’t particularly busy, but I was just sorting out my luggage. Because I was told that I would return to Kairisis at night, I had a lot of clothes, notebooks, and other small luggage that I had left unpacked over the past few days.

So it wasn’t particularly busy, but I had to move diligently.

– Long time no see.

But Hina didn’t show that.

It wasn’t enough that he came to see me only now. He took a couple of deep breaths in front of the door, moved his hand carefully, hesitated a few times, and then hesitated for a long time before knocking. How could he look busy in front of him? All you have to do is just be a little more diligent in organizing your luggage.

“It’s been a while since I’ve been here?”

– A day when the prince seems to be in a good mood, not a kind prince. Did something good happen?

“Yes. Something good happened.”

Rustle rustle.

Kalian, who was standing next to Hina and pouring dried lemon and ginger into an empty teacup, nodded. Then, he used his magic power to make the cold water nearby boil.

Hina moved her hand as if to stop Kalyan, who was about to pick up the bottle of water and pour it straight into the teacup.

– See you later.

“Aren’t you putting it in right away?”

– A bitter taste comes from the lemon.

“Ah… I guess Jan pours boiling water in it. I use it all the time. Sometimes it is astringent and a lot of times it becomes bitter when I use it. Strangely enough, it tastes different every time.”

Calian, who said this while putting down the water bottle for a moment, opened his mouth again. For some reason, it occurred to me that Jan had been gossiping a lot about his tea-making skills.

“That’s not to say it’s not delicious. But it’s delicious. It’s second only to yours and Master’s tea.”

He said,

“Ah… Orte and you and Master. Next.”

In the meantime, he corrects the situation by adding one more person and laughs heartily.

Hina, who is the most precious person in the world, offered to prepare tea for me herself, asking if I could use it because she couldn’t speak because she was busy making tea for me. She didn’t even know how much dried lemon and ginger to put in and what temperature water to use. Hina smiled at the 3rd prince, who may have ended up letting his hand go even further, and moved his hand.

– I think I know what a good thing this is. You met that servant.

“Yes. We drank tea and talked just a little while ago.”

Merlin had heard the story of a high-ranking servant who suddenly left the palace due to illness. After breaking up without preparation, I couldn’t help but feel good because I got to see someone I didn’t even know was alive or dead, not to mention their well-being, living in good health.

“And it hasn’t been a long time since I’ve felt good, Hina. I was happy to see you grow taller. I also liked the fact that you were crowned an earl, and I also liked that Kyrie and Demirea became Aurors. There have been a lot of good things these days.”

Growling……!

Kalian poured moderately cooled water into a teacup and tried to place it on the tray. Then Hina stretched out her hand, pointed to a small glass bottle, and said.

– The prince has three spoons and I have five spoons.

Only because I drank tea with ginger and lemon and left out the honey.

Calian nodded with a sad expression and opened the honey bottle. Then I put five spoons of honey in one teacup and eight spoons of honey in the next teacup.

‘That much?’

A small wrinkle appears between Hina’s eyebrows.

It was because he knew that it was not because Kalian could not understand Hina’s sign language. If the teacup with a lot of honey belonged to Hina, it was obvious whose tea with a lot of honey belonged to her.

– I thought you were in a good mood because you said a lot of good things happened.

I know Kalyan’s taste for tea.

Of course Hina also learned it. What Kalyan usually drinks and what he dislikes. I learned that even if you ask for a cold drink, you should never give it to someone in winter, that you must watch the warm drink carefully to make sure it doesn’t magically cool down, and that they really like it if you add a slice or two of dried tangerines when they ask for milk tea.

If you add honey, usually three spoons. But sometimes five spoons, sometimes ten spoons. I also learned from Jan and Merlin that when Calian orders ‘a lot of honey’, it should be made sweet enough to sting his throat.

“Yeah. I just… want to eat something sweet.”

In that case, don’t ask what’s wrong, just put the car down and quietly walk away. That’s what I heard.

– Then, please add three more spoons as well.

“Is that so?”

– yes. I also have a lot of honey.

Calian answered yes and moved his hand again. He carefully carried the two cups of tea he had made, walked to the table, put them down, and sat down.

This is Kalian, who just met Orte and has already finished a cup of red, sweet and fragrant tea. Then this time, I added a lot of honey to the bright, spicy tea. I lifted it and took a sip.

“Wow, it’s delicious.”

Surprisingly, it tastes better than my baby elephant’s tea. You should never tell a baby elephant.

As I was thinking about that and laughing to myself, Hina’s words caught my eye.

– There were a lot of good things, but were there also bad things?

Hina asked again, as if to tell her not to leave without saying anything. Knowing that he was the person who would ask that question, he came and even placed a nice car in front of him, so it was a natural order.

So, I was wondering if it would be a good idea to open my mouth to Hina.

“I think it would be better not to praise your contribution this time. That’s right, I think.”

This is how I got lucky.

“Of course there will be compensation. Whether your Majesty opens more of the royal treasury or gives you a birthday present, there will be compensation. However, I would like to tell His Highness not to praise you in front of the nobles.”

Hina raised her dark eyes and looked at Kalian.

Calian, who looked at that face for a while, continued speaking.

“It was amazing. I know that you went through a lot of hard work, and I know that thanks to you, we got through that big fight without anyone dying. You were truly amazing, Hina.”

– Was it so amazing?

“Yes. It was so great that it caught my eye.”

Hina nodded.

LeMaine stands in front of the nobles, hiding Calian’s swordsmanship skills that defeated Evan. He is worried that Calian’s magic is still stuck in the 3rd circle, so he lies and keeps secret all about how he won the numerous battles against Zeon.

It’s something along the same lines.

“I think it’s time to hide it. I think so. I want to ask you what you think and do what you want, but when it comes to this, I want you to follow my thoughts.”

It is beyond the level of jealousy among the nobles of Kairis over the unique and tremendous abilities possessed by the crown prince’s fiancée. It wasn’t just that much, but even Rivern and Tensil were curious about Hina’s possibilities. It was enough for Danu to care.

Interest that would have been curiosity becomes astonishment, and astonishment gives birth to fear. The fear of one helpless person with too much power will soon lead to the sword.

– There have been a lot of cars given by the corps commander. There are so many that there is no room to put them.

Hina gave the answer.

– Please change the office table to a bigger and better one. Please put the beautiful new houses in the Count’s mansion that your Majesty said you would give them.

They created requirements that were not really necessary. In exchange for not receiving much praise for this incident, I asked for the compensation I could get. It also meant that he would do as Calian said.

“Again. What else do you want?”

We need to find better furniture than the one in Arpia Palace and bring it in. We need to find big and small birdhouses so that the birds who will sing for Hina can stay there.

I feel half relieved and half sorry. Hina’s answer was seen by Kalian, who nodded unconditionally.

– I want to learn how to bottle up the healing power I have.

“Okay, I’ll find out. I’ll think about it, ask Master, and talk to Arianne and Veronica. I’ll definitely look into it. If there’s anything else, tell me everything. I’ll do anything.”

I was excited. It seems like he is planning to use the excuse of hiding his achievements to take care of everything that he has not been able to do in the past.

Hina smiled and moved her hands like the first raindrops on a wild flower.

– Please tell me about a time when you felt good because of the kind prince.

“…… because of me?”

– yes. Because of the kind prince. I feel good not because of the people around me, not because of the prince I was when I was young, but because of the kind prince I am now.

My red eyes fell on the teacup filled with ginger, lemon, and a lot of honey. No matter what question I was asked, it didn’t take long for me to come up with an answer. It felt like a refreshing scent to my brain, which has the ability to think of something to answer.

“Well… I wonder what it is.”

Kyrie and Demirea gave an aura, I was the only one who saw the corn growing well, I got raw oysters from the less wilted peas, and I ate raw oysters. We were able to drink Serenus together again, and I decided to receive a knight’s oath from Eila. I opened my mouth after thinking about all the many things that happened, including being scolded by Jan for being caught drinking with an injured arm.

“I want to go back to the palace quickly.”

– In the palace?

“Yes. I’ll go back and visit a place where white roses bloom, try the delicious strawberry ice cream on Astricia Street, take Arianne on a tour of the Seigne River, and spend some time sitting by the lake.”

– Do you like that?

“Okay. As time passes, I will go to Camilon and raise a dog. As time passes, I will bring my own desk to Alfia Palace. I will leave everything to my brother and secretly go to Secretia with my teacher, go to the beach, and say hello to His Highness King Chase and Louise. “After that, I took a look at how well Tensil’s roses grew. I stopped here for a while and drank tea. If I go back like that, you and Jan will scold me for sneaking away again. I want to try that. I like that, Hina.”

Nod.

Hina’s head moves.

– I need to stay alert. If the prince runs away and comes back, I have to scold him.

“Ah… I see. You have to stay alert at all times so you don’t fall into trouble, Hina, you too.”

Calian burst out laughing.

I smiled for a while with a happy face.

Hina, who had been watching Kalian laugh for a long time, took a long breath.

– then. I’ll stay alert and stay alert.

And he said this.

The red gaze, still full of laughter, landed on Hina.

– How to bottle healing power, how to protect myself with healing power, and more things I can do that I don’t know yet. No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t do it on my own, so I decided it would be a good idea to learn. So please let me learn.

I already said I would help you do that. Therefore, Kalian, who could not understand what the words meant, looked at Hina.

– To mom.

“…… Hina.”

Hina’s hand, which had stopped for a moment, moved again.

– Don’t look anywhere else, just ask your mom. Mom knows best.

Calian lowered his eyes for a moment. I quietly moved my hand and took a sip of the sweet tea I made and put it down. Hina, who was watching it too. I swallowed so much sweet tea that it stung my throat.

“Hina. That person… Whitlin.”

– If it gets hard, I won’t hold back and quit. I’ll tell you to drop it. I’ll tell you anytime.

So as not to get hurt.

So as not to be disfigured.

Knock knock knock.

Kalian’s fingertips tap on his knees.

Whitlin’s last use. Do you mind if I allow you to give it to me? Do you have the authority to allow or deny it? I was worried.

Talk.

Knock knock.

I was worried.

* * *

I know it is the calm before the storm.

So take your time. Because we have not yet stepped into the second storm.

– Kaaaaang!

A white thunderbolt struck the gray Sinastar. The arm that was pushed by the force went down of its own accord and returned to its original position, but he swung the other arm regardless.

– Kagagak kaang!

The white sword of light, which had clearly been blocked by the gray sword, was twisted. The direction of the two swords changed up and down, leaving the part where they met as is. Holding the gray sword as is, he changed the direction of the handle up and the blade down, easily blocking the bluish-silver sword that had just been swung.

– Bang!

– …… Kaaaang!

Even when my sword was hit by an opponent’s attack or when I swung my sword at the opponent’s sword that was stationary, it was Plantz’s arm that moved shakily because it could not overcome the repulsion force. The entire time he was sending and blocking attacks, only Plantz’s arm, which was holding the Sinasta, wavered.

Plantz glanced at his younger brother’s arm, which had clearly thinner muscles compared to his own, and although the difference in strength could never be understood from the outside, he moved his body. He twisted his waist, shaking off the two Sinastas that were equally blocked by the nameless pure white sword.

– Hwiik!

– Kang Kaga River!

It doesn’t give you any time to back down.

There are two Sinasta swords and one sword of Calian. A pure white sword, lighter than the divided Sinastar, blows from all directions like the wind of the great desert.

It was not a sword made of red aura. It was the white sword that Plantz had personally handed to him. There was no aura attached to the sword. So, even though there was no way a halo of light was created, the afterimage of white light disturbs the eyes.

“I’m pushed further than usual.”

Calian’s voice flowed through the sharp plosive sounds. Plantz, who bluntly blocked the sword strike that followed, responded quietly.

“I was busy.”

“Is it really okay to lose the strength to hold a knife just by signing a few documents?”

“……A few photos.”

A training ground in the basement of Yeongju Castle where no one is watching.

“How many pages did you see?”

“I didn’t see it, but how many of them must have been there?”

It was fifteen minutes ago that Calian came to see Plantz, who had blonde hair and dark blue eyes, with the excuse of ‘I need to teach self-defense to my oldest brother who doesn’t have the ability to defend himself.’

As soon as he finished reviewing the documents, Pea, who had been dragged away, returned with light green eyes and took out Synasta from the wizard’s pocket ten minutes ago. As soon as I took it out and held it in my hand, the lightning of a white blade started hitting me ten minutes ago. This means that they started a fight without saying a word or giving proper time to prepare. Just like Kalyan always does.

– Taaat!

– Kagagak kaaaaang!

I don’t swear because I’m not drunk.

Instead, Plantz’s curse, conveyed through his eyes and the tip of his sword, struck Calian’s sword with force. It looks like he was a bit angry at Calian’s words.

After leaving the parade ground after running, Plants was busy all afternoon. Of course, Plantz wasn’t the only one. The same goes for Arsene, who returned after running a few more laps alone.

Among the Balkan members, there are squad leader-level wizards and knights such as Hina and Demirea Euria Aela. Arsene and I reviewed the numerous reports written by many people related to the affairs of the Whitlin Estate. Then, each person exchanged the documents they had reviewed, reviewed them again, and signed or attached additional materials. I quickly accepted the rejected documents and repeated the same process.

It was a miracle that the two vice commanders hurriedly delivered so many documents with their respective signatures to Alan without even having time to blink.

– Kang kaang!

– Kaaaaang!

So now we can go back to our room, rest for a while, have dinner, and then go to Fabian’s with Alan. That’s what I was thinking.

After chatting with my old servant, drinking tea, talking with Hina, drinking tea, exchanging opinions with Eila, drinking tea, and then walking around the garden of Whitlin with Jan, I finished my work for the day and started sparring. Since the kid is saying things like that, even the mild-mannered Plants have no choice but to curse at him somehow.

– Blame it!

Calian, who hit Sinasta with a light movement, moved his feet. Then, after stepping into a place quite far away, he spoke in a relaxed voice.

“On the way to Whitlin, we were attacked by harpies on two occasions after arriving at Whitlin. Rashid Briesen is the main culprit, and Whitlin, the elf who killed Freyr and impersonated him, is his accomplice. Siegfried was involved in this incident along the way. There was fabricated evidence that this was the case, but it turned out to be the work of Gray Brissen, who used this incident as an opportunity to tie Rashid Brissen, the three princes Calian, and Siegfried together and try to drive them out.”

A final report that will be placed on top of numerous documents.

The report that Arsene and Planz wrote together and uploaded to Alan, who edited it and delivered it to Lemain, was like a summary of the incident.

“For this reason, while tracking down the elf who had escaped after arresting Whitlin and stealing the evidence, a territory war broke out with the nearby territory of Dayrn. This was also the work of Rashid Brissen to take out his accomplice Whitlin and harm the royal family staying in the territory. ”

I heard Calian’s voice reciting the contents of a report I hadn’t even seen, as if I knew what was written in it.

“So, please abolish the marquess of Gray Brissen, who tried to greatly tarnish the honor of the three princes and the dukedom, and severely punish Nabia, the lord’s agent, and the nobles who condoned Rashid Brissen and Whitlin, who attempted to assassinate the royal family. Isn’t this what it says? .”

It is natural to know the content.

I have been following this incident closely, so how can I not know?

Of course, whether Rashid Brissen was really the one behind the fight between Vulcan and Zeon, and in fact, Gray Brissen, who was working with Whitlin, may have done it to rescue Whitlin. It is true that there are suspicions about this, but Whitlin did not mention it and there was no evidence whatsoever that Gray Briesen was involved. The three witnesses who were rescued there also only mentioned Rashid Briesen’s name.

Thanks to this, Calian smiled slightly, as if he had already figured out that it would be difficult to charge Gray Brisen with any crime other than defamation of the royal family and the duke.

“Why are you treating me like this just because there are so many documents for something that isn’t complicated? Brother.”

… That’s my little brother.

– Bang!

– Taaat!

Planz closed his eyes for a moment and opened them. And after combining Sinastar into one, they kicked their feet together. You say my strength has weakened, but let’s see how strong you have become after drinking tea all day. This is probably what you are thinking.

In the past, even if I didn’t scratch it, it would use its energy and attack me. These days, you really have to get angry like that.

“No matter how much we spar, we can’t win, so…”

Calian muttered and raised his sword.

I will make you angry so that you grow up quickly. Anyway, I was wondering if there was another younger brother like me.

– Kaaaaaaaa!

The sound that the blade makes is different. There is also a difference in the temperature of the killing blow.

Calian twisted away the flashing falling Sinastar and took a step toward Plantz. Then, he pushed away the blade of Sinastar sliding to the side of his head with the handle of his own sword, and then swung his pure white blade again.

– Kagan kang!

Plantz, who found it difficult to attack properly due to the distance from Calian being closer than the blade’s length, took a step back. Then, as if it had been waiting, Calian’s new form disappeared.

It was expected.

– Swish!

– Boo!

He suddenly narrows the distance and then suddenly changes direction again.

– Kaaaang!

-……Slap!

– Kagaga River!

Before he knew it, he separated the group of swords of white light pouring from above his head and blocked them by quickly rotating Sinasta, which was held together like a long spear. Sparks, like raindrops that fell on an umbrella, flew in all directions, but I didn’t pay attention to them.

– Bang!

– Kang kaaaaang!

Calian, who lightly stepped on Sinastar’s black blade and leapt, sent an attack from behind. Plantz bent down and separated the Sinastar again, holding the handle of the sword upside down. And then he stretched out his two swords as if stabbing himself behind his back.

It feels like cutting into the air.

The body must have already been refloated.

As Planz stood up and turned around, his white sword was blocked by the blue-silver blade. Say hello. Lately, in the soft wind, my long hair rose for a moment and then returned to its original place.

– Kaaaang!

A thin, white sword touched the center of Sinastar’s crossed swords. I blocked the hard attack, but this time my arm didn’t move.

Kalian’s eyes smile roundly. Only then did Plantz narrow his eyes, realizing that his younger brother had deliberately caused his anger.

“It was wrong.”

And he said this to Kalian. While the power struggle continued, a short conversation began to take place.

“What is wrong?”

“Whitlin. Don’t send it to Kyrisis.”

This means that they plan to execute him tonight.

“… Because of the incident you mentioned earlier.”

“okay.”

“Aren’t you in too much of a hurry? Whitlin hasn’t said everything yet.”

“Do you think you would do it if I left you alive?”

“It’s something you can’t guarantee.”

“I can’t guarantee. I think it’s better than creating more problems that don’t exist.”

“Do Lord Hertz and Master feel the same way?”

“okay.”

– Kagan kang!

– Kaaaaang!

The black and white sword struck down the pure white sword.

Then, before the crossed swords could even open as if to hold it, Calian’s sword fell on it and pressed down on Sinasta. It means that there is still something left to say.

“If you don’t have evidence, one way is to create it. If you want to understand Whitlin’s true intentions, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to have him meet Gray Brissen and see his reaction.”

“Then if a bigger problem arises.”

– Kang! Kaga River!

“What are you going to do?”

Even if the sword had not been held at Plantz’s neck, not everyone would have agreed to hasten the execution. How can someone with such strong power be so emotionally driven and want to take them alive?

It’s natural.

“Aren’t my opinions reflected?”

“sorry.”

– Kaaaaang!

I haven’t even been able to express Hina’s opinion yet.

However, the decision on execution has already been made.

It’s a Balkan thing. Although the Balkans belong to Kalyan, ironically Kalyan has no decision-making power. I’ve never had it myself, so it’s impossible for it to happen suddenly now.

Plantz fired a shot.

In order to finish the sparring before it gets too late, I go back and finish Whitlin’s work and have a meal with Calian.

To leave for Fabian.

– Slut!

He launched his attack towards Calian at the fastest speed he could. If you do that, the attack will be blocked by that pure white sword, and then if you separate the sword and attack again… –

Stand tall.

If you send it.

– ……Sarak.

Plantz frowned.

With a firm grip on the hand holding the sword.

Calian stopped.

I just turned my head and took Plantz’s attack. I didn’t block it or parry it.

“what.”

“then.”

Incontinence is slowly forming on my pure white neck.

“Can you please do me a favor?”

I hear Calian’s voice.

Please keep Whitlin alive.

Pop.

Drip.

Red blood dripped from the neck cut by Sinasta.
