Reborn as the Enemy Prince - Chapter 62

Chapter 13. Found (4)

Arsene listens very seriously to what is said to him.

That doesn’t mean that I don’t know how to distinguish between words that should be ignored and words that should be listened to straight away. Arsene was a person who listened seriously and acted only on words that were beneficial to him.

Let me add one explanation to that.

The reason Arsene relayed Count Hale Latran’s abusive language to Calian the other day was not because he wanted to swear at Calian, but because he wanted Calian to feel Hale’s cruelty and punish him severely. It’s true.

Anyway, the important thing was that Arsene was by no means a serious idiot.

– You must not harm that side first.

Therefore, Arsene was good at distinguishing what Jan had said to him that he needed to listen to seriously.

Therefore, Arsene coolly exploded Gray’s carriage.

It could be said that it was not something he did out of anger at having unilaterally assaulted Kirie, who had stopped the Gray Knights from attacking Hina, but rather the result of a thoroughly calculated action.

It’s true.

Arsene’s binge drinking.

Is there any combination more strange than this?

Calian’s eyes quietly fell to the floor.

Tecid Reddington went straight to the window and looked out. But there was nothing special to be seen from the living room window. Therefore, Tesid called the deacon and told him to check what was going on. Of course, Gray also called the driver outside and ordered him to check the situation.

And instead of moving hastily, Calian was concentrating on the energy around him. It was to check whether I could feel more of Arsene’s magic, but I couldn’t feel anything beyond that.

Yan approached Calian and spoke in a cautious voice.

“Prince.”

Calian’s eyes, which were still facing downwards, quietly moved towards Yan. And then I saw the expression clearly revealed on Jan’s face.

Yan was quite embarrassed right now.

And I was paying attention to Calian, not to the sounds coming from outside.

The voice that had been quiet while dealing with Gray came out of Calian’s mouth without being able to organize it.

“I had a binge drinking outside and you are watching me.”

“Ah…”

“What?”

Yan, who was asked Kalian’s question, looked momentarily speechless. This is because I was worried about how Calian would react the moment I said that something seemed to have happened to Kyrie.

Yan said, slightly blocking Calian’s path.

“I’ll go down now and check it out.”

There were many intentions.

He hoped that Kalian would not go in person.

Calian looked at Jan’s face again. Then, after avoiding Jan, I walked briskly towards the stairs. After a while, Calian stopped between the uphill road leading to the room and the downhill road towards the outside, and opened his mouth, pointing outwards with his finger.

“Lord Hertz is calling me while making a fuss. You don’t want me to go down there.”

There was one reason why Arsene was ‘calling’ Calian. It was because Arsene was drinking heavily.

Hearing an explosion meant that fire magic had been used. However, Arsene is originally a wizard who uses ice. So, the only thing that the binge drinking meant was that Arsene intentionally used flame to cause the explosion.

If there was a truly urgent matter, Arsene would have sent a spear of ice at the opponent instead of using magic, which he rarely used. So that explosion must have had a different meaning.

Jan kept his mouth shut as Kalian’s words clearly pointed out his inner thoughts. Instead, Calian opened his mouth again.

“So I asked you why, but since you didn’t answer, I have no choice but to go and see for myself.”

Then Yan paused for a moment before walking faster and blocking Kalian’s path once more.

“I’m sorry, prince.”

Calian frowned and looked at Jan as he apologized for blocking his steps. If Jan was going this far, I felt like I knew what the situation was like. Before Calian could take another step, Yan quickly opened his mouth in a low voice.

“Prince. You must not clash further with the Margrave here. If you touch him incorrectly, only the prince will be at a disadvantage. You know that well, right? Please do not act hastily.”

Calian, who was staring into Yan’s eyes, opened his mouth.

“Let’s start by looking at what they touched.”

Then he started going down again with his feet.

The Gray Knights were quite taken aback when a frail wizard suddenly appeared and, without saying a word, created a fireball the size of a horse’s head. Then, when the fireball the size of a horse’s head flew towards them, everyone was frightened and shrank back. The fireball passed by the knights’ heads and blew Gray’s carriage away.

– Quang!

A tremendous sound shook my eardrums.

The four knights who had unconsciously bent down slowly raised their heads and confirmed what was happening behind them. Of the three carriages, Gray’s carriage had ‘disappeared’.

Among the knights who saw this, Hector, the knight who was most trusted by Gray, rushed in front of Arsene with his fierce spirit.

“What is this…!”

Either way, Arsene stood with his back turned to Hector. And Kirie’s dirty clothes were properly restored using ‘Clean’ magic. The clothes, which had become dirty with dirt and blood, became clean again, but it did not do anything to heal the wounds that had already appeared.

At first glance, it didn’t seem like there were any major injuries, but there were bruises here and there and it didn’t look that good. Arsene clicked his tongue and asked Kyrie.

“Why did you get beaten?”

Kirie smiled slightly without answering. Perhaps it was because he knew he was a knight of Brisen. He must have been worried that Calian might be in trouble because of him. A grumbling voice came out of Arsene’s mouth.

“Well, I don’t know, but it’s going to be hard to hear good things from the prince.”

Kirie was about to express her gratitude since it was a word of concern, but Hector, who could not stand their conversation any longer, took a step forward. Then he pointed at the wagon that had been transformed into a perfect fit for firewood and shouted with a murderous spirit.

“What are you doing? How dare you think whose carriage that is!”

Then Arsene pointed to Kyrie.

“Did you dare to touch this boy, knowing who he belonged to?”

Although he felt a little sorry for comparing the carriage and Kyrie on the same line, Arsene answered that way anyway. Then Hector smiled and spoke again.

“Are you also one of the three princes?”

Kirie frowned when she heard Arsene criticizing her for getting caught up in the problem because of her. But Arsene nodded and answered without hesitation.

“That’s right.”

The words may be a little harsh, but isn’t it true that he is Calian’s follower?

“So are you the marquis’ son’s dog?”

This time, I felt sorry for comparing a guy like him and a dog on the same level, but Arsene asked anyway.

Hector’s face turned red. He seemed ready to pull out his sword at any moment.

Anyway, Arsene took out a handkerchief from his pocket and held it out to Kyrie who was standing next to him. This is because blood continued to flow from the torn eyes.

“thank you.”

As Kyrie accepted it, Hector took a step forward. This was because he was angry that Arsene did not care or fear him that much. Then, a large ice spear crashed down in front of Hector’s feet.

– Kwasik!

Hector, startled, bit his foot and looked at Arsene. Arsene, who threw an ice spear at Hector’s feet, answered with a calm face.

“Wizards don’t like it when people with swords come close. Even if you talk there, they can hear you, so don’t come any closer.”

He almost got his foot hit by an ice spear, and he let out an angry voice.

“You bastard! You know who I am!”

To those words, I heard an answer from far away.

“My tagari told me it was a dog.”

It was Kalyan.

Calian’s voice, walking from quite a distance away, was not that loud. But strangely enough, everyone could hear Calian’s words clearly. Thanks to this, everyone took their eyes off each other and looked at Calian.

Calian didn’t stop walking but just turned his head for a moment. And he chuckled as he looked at Gray’s carriage. After that, I asked Arsene briefly.

“Do I have to reimburse you for the carriage?”

Then Arsene slightly bowed his head and answered politely.

“You can deduct it from my salary, prince.”

Calian laughed a little at those words. Calian did not know how much Arsene’s salary was. To cover the cost of the Margrave’s carriage, he would probably not receive a penny for several months.

As Kalian laughed, Jan, who was standing behind Kalian, looked very anxious. This is because I knew that Calian checked Kyrie’s face as soon as he came out of the building. There wouldn’t be anything strange even if I told them to cut off the heads of those knights right now, but they were laughing as if they were having fun, so I couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

Calian, perhaps aware of those feelings, approached Arsene at his usual speed and asked.

“My maid would have been here. Where is she?”

I’m talking about Hina. Jan was able to answer that question, so he opened his mouth. But Arsene spoke first.

However, rather than explaining where Hina was, Arsene started explaining why she was not here.

“They say they didn’t know she was the prince’s maid at first.”

Until he heard those words, Calian had managed to maintain his composure. Although it was a very angry situation, I was controlling my anger by thinking that I should not escalate the matter further.

“I heard that the Margrave would like it because there was a fair-looking, mute girl.”

The honest Arsene touched Calian’s reason.

Calian smiled brightly.

Jan turned pale.

A transparent light appeared in Calian’s hand, who had lost his mind just a little.

* * *

By the time Gray left the building, everything was already over.

Calian did not explain anything about cutting out the tongues of the four knights who molested the prince’s maid and stripping them of their titles for harming the prince’s servants.

Looking at Gray, who didn’t care about the mistakes of his subordinates and was glaring at Calian as if he was going to eat him, Calian held back for the time being.

I wanted to hit Gray’s head right away, but I stopped at that point.

And he just said this with calm eyes.

“Don’t worry, Lord Manasil will pay for the carriage that Lord Hertz accidentally destroyed when you go to Kairisis.”

And then he went back to his room.

Gray couldn’t say a word in response to that. This is because it happened in front of all of Tesid’s stable servants and soldiers.

In the end, Gray decided to leave Reddington Castle that way. Therefore, he tried to borrow a carriage from Tecid, but Tecid apologized to Gray, saying that the carriage’s axle was broken and was being repaired.

Gray couldn’t be angry about that either.

In the end, Gray moved his two pretty mistresses to the carriage and had them sit down.

Gray, who had ripped off all the pink flowing curtains and pearl beaded decorations, screamed in the carriage heading to Kairisis.
