Reborn as the Enemy Prince - Chapter 73

Chapter 15. Let me ask you just one thing (4)

Pavel, Knight of Silike.

Tail is Pavel’s vice-captain.

Tails was now sitting on the floor with a look on his face that had given up on everything.

It’s a miracle that I survived so far while avoiding the ice shot by the wizard. The words came out like a lightning bolt from the mouth of the boy who had cut off his friend’s head with a dagger the length of his forearm.

‘There is no need to bring it.’

Of course, it had to be Calian’s message.

This means that there is nothing to wonder about the background or anything else.

So Tails just gave up.

Either you will have a hole in your neck right away or your neck will disappear. I was trying to make a living by selling out my colleagues, but is it important to keep other people’s secrets now?

After I gave up, my mouth, which had always been heavy, opened of its own accord.

“You two, please wait a moment. I have a lot to say to the prince.”

If you somehow go to the palace, Silike will save your life. Tails was still thinking that way.

Therefore, Tail calmly stood with his hands folded and began to tell a bundle of stories as he pleased. This is because he thought that if he heard what he knew, he would not be able to resist being brought before Calian.

“You saved my life just in time. I received a request directly from the queen. Look, there is also a money bag here.”

I didn’t know that Tail’s words, which started like that, would end.

Tail didn’t just receive Silike’s money. He also received money from Lennon and Evan and did a lot of work for the price.

“I once dealt with a maid who was said to have delivered something from Lennon Brissen to Prince Calian’s valet. If necessary, I will testify.”

It was the story of a maid who disappeared after giving Jan her first cup of tea. Arsene had also heard something about it, and it seemed like that was Tail’s doing.

However, Arsene knew that Calian had already made an oath with Silike, saying that he would bury the matter.

Moreover, Tails also seemed to not know exactly why he killed the maid, so there was no need for such testimony now.

“It’s no use now. And the prince doesn’t even want to think about it.”

Arsene, who took a sip of strong coffee in front of Calian, said that. And then I looked at Kirie who was standing behind Tails. It meant that we should stop processing it now and go. Kirie took half a step forward.

– Jeopuk.

Tails, who realized that the sound of Kirie’s footsteps was the sound of a lifeline being cut, quickly stopped them.

“I can tell you one more important thing! This is really important.”

At those words, I heard Kirie step back again. Tails, relieved for a moment, quickly opened his mouth.

“Do you know where the Marquis’s finances come from?”

“Isn’t it a bribe?”

“Of course, that is a lot, but isn’t that irregular income? There is a separate source of regular funds. This is what I am in charge of after leaving the palace.”

In the end, Tails was able to open the box that had been tightly closed.

Tails lowered his voice with an expression that seemed like a secret trick.

“There is a private gambling house in Cairisis. The amount of money that comes and goes in a day while gambling on people is more than you can imagine. I will tell you where it is, so I can call you Cali…

” “Are you talking about the floor?”

Tails’ mouth closed quietly.

Anyway, Arsene asked while looking at Kyrie.

“Is that really the name of a bar?”

“Yes, it is.”

“That name is frivolous.”

“It looks like a bar on the outside, but there are gambling dens underground. It’s not particularly great information.”

Tail bit his lip and then opened his mouth with a solemn look on his face.

“Lennon Brissen. Do you know who he went missing for?”

Who is it?

He’s our prince.

A long sigh came from Arsene’s mouth. It was clear that he wasn’t very curious, but Tails raised his voice.

“You didn’t even know that Lennon Brissen was alive and well! If you want to know where he is, send me to Prince Calian.” Arsene cut off Tails

’ words and asked Kyrie.

“Did you say Lennon would have been imprisoned in the Marquis de Briesen?”

“Yes. That’s what you said.”

Of course, that was Calian’s prediction.

Arsene, who was starting to feel drowsy, let out a long yawn.

Tail’s eyebrows twitched. Lennon Brissen doesn’t work either.

The head of a colleague that had fallen off a little while ago was still looking at Tails. It felt like he was telling me to give up and follow him.

Tail spoke in a lower voice than when talking about Lennon, as if he was revealing something very intimate.

“The reason the Margrave was injured this time is probably because the Marquis himself took the initiative. Who else would hurt the Margrave other than the Marquis?”

Who is it?

That’s our prince too.

Arsene’s eyes gradually closed. It’s not that I wasn’t, I was really tired. I couldn’t sleep for several days because of the development of the moving magic circle. After that, after taking a short nap, I was immediately grabbed by Alan.

I was physically tired and under a lot of stress, and I had used up a lot of my magical powers for the first time in a while, so I wasn’t in the mood to have a good conversation.

Tail’s words continued, whether he knew it or not.

“In fact, the Marquis has been on the path of the sword for a very long time. Me and the guy lying on the riverbank over there. We both saw that the Marquis’s sword was broken. But you hid it from the Margrave.”

At those words, Arsene’s eyelids, which had been slack, tightened. Arsene finally became interested and spoke.

“The prince might like that a little.”

“That’s right. Although the relationship between the Marquis and the Margrave was bad, it was not known to what extent. There was a big fight between the two before he was made Margrave. If you let me see the prince, I can tell you more about it… ….”

Arsene, who had heard that far, raised his hand and stopped Tails from speaking for a moment.

“You seem to know a lot.”

And then he opened his mouth like this:

At those words, Tails’ face lit up. He thought that he would be able to meet Calian face to face as he wanted. But Arsene’s words were not over.

“And I guess the reason you’ve been alive until now is because you’re loud-mouthed compared to what you know. Isn’t that right?”

Somehow it didn’t seem like a complete compliment, so Tails looked at Arsene without answering. Arsene looked at Kirie instead of Tails and asked quietly.

“Is it true that the prince really told you not to bring him?”

“Yes. However, he said that if it would really be helpful, you should make your own decision.”

Arsene nodded and opened his mouth again to Tails.

“So. If you go to the palace under the pretext of telling us those secrets, do you think Silike will come forward to save you?”

Tail, who knew so many secrets but had forgotten what kind of person Silike was, hurriedly opened his mouth.

“that……!”

At that moment, Kirie’s dagger was filled with moonlight.

The cold day passed by Tail’s neck.

– Suddenly!

In the end, Tails couldn’t finish speaking.

– Boom!

Tail’s head rolled next to the head of the silent knight who had fallen down a moment ago. Arsene, who spread the shield to prevent blood from spattering, looked at Tail’s fallen head for a moment and said.

“A mouth that was once heavy must remain heavy. If you open your mouth to use your head for no reason, your life will diminish.”

Soon Arsene took a deep breath, then looked at Kyrie and spoke.

“Thank you for coming to help. Now, you can return to the palace. My coachman has reported it, and the capital security forces will be arriving soon. I will explain the whole story and then go back.”

Kirie shook her head. Tails then picked up the money bag he had been holding in his hand a moment ago, put it in his pocket, and spoke.

“I will do it. Sir Hertz must remain unnoticed.”

“What does that mean?”

Kyrie took out a black robe from her horse’s saddle and handed it to Arsene. And then he finished talking about what Calian had said.

“He told me not to contact anyone and to rest at Lord Manasil’s mansion for five days.”

I don’t know the exact reason, but anyway, get some rest.

At those words, Arsene’s mouth fell into laughter.

A vacation is a vacation, but a vacation at Alan’s house.

I didn’t know whether to like this or hate it.

* * *

It was completely unexpected that the Marquis was running a gambling house. Even if it wasn’t immediate, it was useful information.

Another thing I didn’t know was that the Marquis was hiding his skills. Alan, who had listened to Kyrie’s words next to Calian, nodded and opened his mouth.

“I thought the Marquis got angry too quickly when I said I would buy a Brissen top.”

Alan was thinking of Evan, who immediately showed his will to kill when he said he was a ‘knife wielder’.

“Then he quickly became obedient again, so maybe he was acting like that on purpose to blind me.”

At those words, Calian nodded as if he could do that.

“Once I meet the Marquis, I will be able to confirm exactly. Now that I can attend the central noble meeting, there will be many opportunities.”

Soon Kalian wrote a few words on a small piece of paper and handed it to Jan.

“Send it to me now. You can send it to the Marquis.”

The idea was to send Jeon Seo-gu.

After Yan received it and went out, Kalian encouraged Kyrie with a short word about her hard work and then sent her away to rest.

When I was left alone with Alan, he manifested silence.

Calian stared at Alan’s face because it meant he had something to say to Calian.

“Your Highness wanted to meet in person the person who tried to harm the Vice Commander of the Wizards.”

The question was, why did they go out of their way to kill everyone instead of holding on to Tails?

Calian looked at the pouch on the table. The thing with fresh blood stains was the money bag that Silike had handed to Tail.

“If Pavel was still one of the knights in the palace, he would have done that, but not now. He is now a Marquis, not a Silike, so he would have been involved in Lennon’s affairs as well.”

In the past, he ran errands for Silike, but now he has become Evan’s hand and foot. That’s why they didn’t catch them and killed them all. The reason was simple.

“If that person is held captive in the palace, the Marquis will be on guard. He may be telling me under the pretext of secrets that he will reveal, but he will be on edge because he does not know what I will ask for.”

After saying that, Kalyan pointed to the rye cookie in front of Alan. I sent so much that no matter how much I eat, it never decreases.

“I haven’t even met the other nobles yet. That’s why the Marquis shouldn’t be interested in me yet. For now, it’s better to just let the tug-of-war between Gray and Silike unfold.”

In other words, it was said that Evan, who was wary of Calian, was trying to prevent him from joining hands with Silike again.

Calian could not deal with Sillike and Evan at the same time. It has not yet become that powerful. So metallurgical metallurgy was reducing their power.

Lennon and Gray were taken out of Silike’s hands. And Gray became the cause, and the relationship between Silike and Evan began to fall apart.

Kalian planned to take advantage of it while maintaining its condition as much as possible.

Soon Calian patted the pocket on the table and grinned.

“Instead, Silike should become more anxious.”

Tails is dead. The nine knights who were with Tail also died together.

But Arsene also disappeared. For the next five days, it would not be possible to know whether Arsene was alive or dead.

If Arsene was alive, what would he have heard from Tails?

If you had heard it, would you have told it to Calian?

And what will Calian do with Silike who attacked his limbs?

etc.

“You have to think about it to your heart’s content.”

A deep smile appeared on Calian’s lips as he thought of the silique that would cover his head.
