Reborn as the Enemy Prince - Chapter 77

Chapter 16. What is clear to me and you (1)

is that there is something very sloppy about Jan.

In the first place, it is Yan’s job to assist Kalian right next to him. Long before Bern’s soul came into Kalian’s body, Jan was next to Kalyan.

But Jan has no doubts about Kalian.

However, this does not mean that Jan is not interested in Kalian. Clearly, Jan considered Kalyan more important than anyone else. I never missed a single one of Kalian’s habits or tastes.

Since Yan is not suspicious, one can only feel anxious.

Therefore, Kalian, who always lived with doubts about why Jan did not think him strange, finally learned a little bit about the reason today.

“Don’t you remember when Plantz threw a knife at you?”

“I know you threw the knife. But was it at me?”

That Jan was just a fool.

The morning after my conversation with Plants.

Calian, who had prepared to go see Silike while watching the rain slowly subsiding, decided that he should also explain what happened with Plants to Jan.

This reminded me of an incident a long time ago at breakfast, when Planz threw a knife at Jan.

Slayman and Jan did not seem to sympathize much, but in any case, Jan was a valuable son of the dukedom. Therefore, Kalian first checked how angry Jan was about Plantz’s behavior and tried to talk about it. But Jan had forgotten that Planz had thrown the knife right at him.

Apparently, that day, Jan just stood still because he was afraid that Planz would get angrier if he dodged the knife flying at him. And Kalyan, who caught the knife flying at Yan, injured his hand.

Even though it was a blunt knife for cutting ham, it still could have caused serious injury. So, isn’t that something we should definitely remember?

“No, how can you clearly remember the knife that was thrown at you and how I got hurt by that knife?”

“The prince still has scars on his hands. Just thinking about that makes me so angry…!”

“Okay. I understand. Don’t be angry.”

In the end, Calian smiled helplessly, forgetting about the emotions he had been feeling due to the unpleasant conversation he had had with Flanz the previous day.

“But when we talk again, I’ll ask you to apologize properly.”

“You’re talking about it?”

“We decided to hold hands. With Plantz.”

“Not Prince Randel, but Planz?”

“okay.”

Jan opened his eyes wide.

“Are you saying that Plantz has turned his back on Sillike? There would be no reason for that.”

“No, that is.”

Calian opened his mouth like that and thought of Plantz for a moment.

It seemed like Plantz couldn’t stand the evil deeds of Silike who wanted to make him king, so he went to great lengths to avoid becoming king. You might have thought that Silike would give up if you did that, but Silike was not the type of person to give up her greed for something like that.

Then, Plantz would have seen the data released by the Wizards Association. Silike must have realized how many lives he had taken to raise himself.

“It’s not that I turned my back…”

Of course, I wouldn’t have given up on Silike from the beginning.

Isn’t this Plantz, who went out of his way to protect Silike, even intercepting Lemain’s words?

But in the end, he must have realized that nothing but death can stop Silike.

“I gave up my mind.”

Instead of saying what he expected, Calian only answered briefly.

Therefore, Jan, who naturally did not have much talent for reading people, could not properly understand the reason for Plantz’s change of heart. Therefore, Jan was not very pleased that the relationship between Calian and Plantz had changed a little from before. However, he did not reveal such reluctance to Calian.

“Then why do you say you have been harassing the prince so much?”

“I didn’t ask.”

Calian, who was looking at Jan blankly, answered.

Looking back on Calian’s memories of the past, he realized that the only time Plantz harassed Calian was when other people were together. Even on the very day that Planz threw the knife at Jan, hadn’t he been quiet before Landel came?

It was worth assessing the reason for the harassment based on those things, but Calian did not want to go to such lengths to embrace Plantz.

Even if there was a reason, the old Calian, the only person who could understand Plantz and decide whether to forgive him, was already gone.

already.

Because it’s late.

“We didn’t join hands to tell each other what we’ve been through, reconcile, and become friends.”

This time too, Calian did not give any further explanation and simply spoke. And he got up without another word.

Now I’m going to go see Silike.

“Do you really mind if I see Silike separately?”

“Don’t worry. Nothing will happen.”

Jan’s face filled with worry again.

Calian pretended not to see Yan’s face.

“I’ll be back, so go tell Master to stop by before he gets home today.”

Because of the different meaning contained in those words, Jan asked with a look as if he was saying such nonsense.

“You definitely don’t want to go to Heisia Palace alone, do you?”

“I’m going alone. I think it’ll be enough for me to see Silike’s face again.”

“You’re going there alone. Come with me. What will you do if something dangerous happens?”

Alan is worried that Calian will get into an accident, and Jan is worried that Calian will get into an accident.

“I said don’t worry.”

Putting aside his excessive worries, Calian stubbornly went alone to Heysia Palace where Silike was located.

* * *

In Silike’s hand was a small letter.

It was a jeonseo-gu sent by the maid sent to Margrave Gray Briesen before she departed from Margrave to the palace again.

Silike’s face holding the letter was no different from usual, but the hand holding the letter had been bleached so white that the veins were clearly visible.

– When you look at the Margrave from afar, it looks like he is not seriously injured. However, I was unable to meet him face to face because his mental and physical stability was very important. They also questioned the castle servants, but no one spoke.

“I saw it from afar. I couldn’t face it. It didn’t open its mouth.”

– He said he would contact me again when he recovered and asked me to leave.

“Go back.”

Silike’s voice trembled slightly as she recited the contents of the letter.

Silike read and reread the letter, delivered early in the morning. I sat quietly like that for several hours.

“… Go back.”

When dealing with people sent by the queen, you must treat them with sufficient courtesy and talk to them face-to-face. If it were Silike’s older brother, he should have been treated like that even if this was not stipulated in etiquette.

However, looking at what has been reported now, doesn’t it mean that the maid who came to visit Gray was completely ignored and treated as if she were an uninvited guest?

“There were no serious injuries, but I was told to go back.”

Silike muttered once again in a voice filled with laughter.

Now, the head maid had been standing next to Silike for several hours, unable to move at all. Nevertheless, rather than feeling anything difficult, the head maid was busy keeping an eye on Silike.

Because Silike was as angry now as he was the day he broke all the Renieri flower pots in this greenhouse.

Meanwhile, a maid came from outside the greenhouse and spoke to the head maid in a very low voice.

“Now… Prince Calian…”

It was said that Calian had arrived now.

There was no need to add fuel to the fire.

Of course, it was true that I had made an appointment the day before. But it was difficult to guess what would happen if Silike met Calian now.

Therefore, the head maid opened her mouth to Silike in a quiet voice.

“Change your promise to Prince Calian to another day…”

“No.”

Silike, who interrupted the head maid’s words saying that it would be better to postpone the appointment, finally raised her head. And I finally let go of the letter I was holding tightly. Silike, who handed it to the head maid, opened her mouth.

“Ask them to come in.”

“Yes queen.”

After hearing Silike’s words, the head maid hurried out of the greenhouse and came back in with Calian.

– Tap, tap, tap.

The sound of Calian’s shoes echoed quietly throughout the greenhouse.

“It seems like it’s been a while since we’ve seen each other in person.”

Soon Calian sat down across from Silike. And after looking at Silike’s eyes towards him, he said hello and smiled with the same expression as that day.

“Silike.”

Silike laughed.

Because Calian called his name again.

“Nothing has changed.”

Soon a maid came in and left two cups of coffee. And Silike gestured toward the head maid to stay out.

After the surroundings cleared, Silike spoke again.

“I’m not very pleased with your visit. What brings you here?”

“I came because I have something to give you.”

Calian responded briefly, took something out of his pocket and placed it on the table.

-Tap!

Last time, he put down a poison that looked like sugar.

Silike frowned slightly when she saw the stain on the item Calian had taken out. It was a dark, dried blood stain that did not look good on a coffee table.

Moreover, it looked very familiar to Silike.

This is because it was a bag of money that Sillike personally handed to Tail.

“Did you say it was a tail? He said he had it.”

After saying that, Kalian opened his pocket and looked at the contents. There was no hesitation in touching something covered in the blood of someone who had already died.

“There was quite a bit of money in it.”

After saying that, Calian closed his pocket again and threw it in front of Silike.

Silike frowned once again when she saw the pocket that had fallen right next to her coffee cup.

“What are you doing?”

“Lord Hertz used firewood to burn your brother’s carriage, so I decided to ask him about it. But I don’t want to send someone to the Margrave. If I ever meet the Margrave, I want you to deliver it to him.”

Calian picks up the money that Silike gave to Tail and returns it to Silike, saying it is for Gray’s carriage.

“I think it was originally your money anyway.”

The tone of voice was already certain that the person who sent the tail was Silike.

Silike moved one eyebrow slightly and said.

“What do you mean…”

“You don’t know. You don’t even remember meeting Tails that day.”

Calian, who cut off Silike’s words, continued speaking with a calm face and calm voice.

“I would never have taken Lord Hertz and asked him to find out what happened between Gray and me.”

Silike’s laughter became slightly louder.

And he answered in a voice without a trace of laughter.

“Yeah. I don’t remember.”

Despite those words, Calian did not show any signs of agitation.

Silike could not tell whether Calian had come to threaten him over Tail’s matter or for some other reason. However, there is only one thing I know for sure. The fact was that Calian in front was too annoying.

“I don’t know why you’re saying that. All you took from me was at most one knight’s order. You seem quite upset because you took one from me. I’m not as small a person as you think. So, I hope you’ll stop acting so arrogantly.”

Hearing those words, Calian looked at Silike with a face that seemed like he was seeing something really funny. “For

someone so big, he has a face like something very bad has happened.” ”

That’s right, boy . “What?”

Calian nodded and showed a worried expression.

“Is it because I came here?”

Silike’s face sank coldly.

It was because he thought of Gray for a moment. Calian, who did not miss it, had an equally cold face. He continued.

“… Or is it because a bird came?”

A bird…!

Silike’s eyes changed.

It was clear that Calian was talking about the war from Gray. Silly A quick thought passed through Ke’s mind.

‘The Margrave’s attitude has completely changed since he returned to his home. The Margrave stopped contacting us on the way to Kairisis. He informed us that the schedule would be delayed due to the purchase of a new carriage in the Endician territory. It was said that the reason why a new carriage had to be purchased was

because Calian and Gray had a confrontation in Reddington and the now missing wizard named Arsene Hertz destroyed Gray’s carriage. .

But that’s it.

Gray left Reddington Castle that way, and Calian stayed there for three more days. It was a few days later that Gray lost contact. ‘Something happened between them in the meantime.

‘

As Silike was considering the situation, Calian’s amused voice was heard in her ears.

“It doesn’t feel bad to see that your thoughts are complicated.”

“It looks like they did something to the Margrave. Did you promise to give me something great if I help you?”

Silike opened her mouth like that and said in a cold voice.

“I don’t know if there’s really anything you can give me.”

She guessed wrong.

Calian just said that Silike was looking at Evan and Gray. He only came here to make people focus on themselves and make them decide to get rid of Calian without any hesitation. When

Calian didn’t answer, Silike, who thought her thoughts were correct, opened her mouth again.

“It looks like she’s excited that she got him . as. It won’t be that helpful, so don’t be mistaken.”

After that, he smiled that bright smile from before.

“Your mother said the same thing. I was so excited to give birth to you.”

“Oh, by the way.”

Calian said as if he had suddenly remembered her.

He mentioned Freyja, but when Calian cut him off casually, the corners of Silike’s eyes narrowed.

“I suddenly got curious when you mentioned my mother . “I remember what I said.”

This wasn’t a lie.

A question really came to mind after listening to Silike’s words just now. It was a question that might stimulate Silike a little more than the story about Gray. That’s why

. Calian decided to put off talking about Gray for a while and ask a new question first. Calian took a sip of his coffee with a leisurely movement, then looked at Silike and asked, “Is it true that the former queen Aisha was really

sick

? ”

Calian, who was looking at Ke as if observing him, opened his mouth slightly. A

low murmur or whisper-like voice came out.

“…No.”

Silike’s smile slowly disappeared.
