Reborn as the Enemy Prince

Chapter 26. Not difficult (1)

– Smart.

In fact, every time I knock, I have a little worry.

This is because even if someone inside asked ‘Who are you?’, they couldn’t answer. Still, I knew there wouldn’t be anyone inside today, so I didn’t worry about that.

Of course, you could ask why someone would knock if no one was there, but Hina’s honest opinion was that no matter how empty the room was, you should not enter the prince’s room without permission.

As expected, there was no sound in response to the knock.

Therefore, Hina quietly opened the door, entered, and turned on the light.

-Tap!

And quickly came out again. He had a very embarrassed face. Hina looked around and shouted silently, unable to hide her embarrassment.

‘It’s not? Is that correct?’

It was the last thing I had to do on my last day as a maid.

Kalian had just gone in to check the sheets and clean the room before going to bed.

Kalian wouldn’t be there anyway, so I thought it would be okay to take some time to clean. Since I won’t have to clean it with my own hands from today onwards, I decided to look at it more thoroughly.

however.

‘Why is he here?’

The reason she didn’t scream was because Hina couldn’t scream, not because she wasn’t surprised by the situation. Hina was really surprised. Even though I opened the door and clearly saw that the room I entered was all black, I was so surprised that I turned back without any hesitation.

Hina, whose eyes grew as big as a flower lantern, looked around once again. Since I went back and forth between the 3rd and 4th floors so many times, I wanted to double-check whether I had confused the number of floors.

“It’s the third floor.”

Hina’s shoulders flinched.

This is because the answer to the silent question was heard from within the room.

Soon Hina carefully opened the door and went inside. Dark colored curtains and carpeted sofa. Black furniture with black sheets visible from a distance inside the bedroom. The all-black interior, which did not match the owner’s usual appearance, once again revealed that this was Kalian’s room.

But what on earth is the light green prince sitting between the white cat and the black sofa with his eyes closed?

At the sound of Hina coming in, Plantz, who had been lost in his thoughts as he entered Kalian’s room, opened his eyes and looked at Hina. That way, you can see what Hina is saying.

Hina, who caught Plantz’s gaze, quickly spoke.

– I made a mistake. Really…

I was so surprised to see Planz sitting in Calian’s room that I left without saying anything, so it seemed like he was trying to apologize to him.

“it’s okay.”

Plantz cut off Hina’s words like this. Anyway, it was Plants who was in someone else’s room. So there was no reason to receive an apology.

Hina moved her hand again towards Plantz, who seemed to have no intention of explaining why he came here.

– I came to clean. The kind prince is not here now. You went to the forest.

Plantz, who couldn’t understand a few words of Hina’s words, looked at Hina without answering for a moment. Hina, who now knew that she reacted that way when there was something she didn’t understand, took out her notebook and wrote the word ‘forest’ and showed it to her.

The corners of Plantz’s eyes furrowed slightly when he realized that Calian had gone to an unexpected place. However, since he didn’t have the personality to ask why he went there, Planz just nodded.

Soon, on Planz’s lap, ‘I am Prince Calian’s cat who prefers Prince Planz.’ The cat made a meowing sound. Planz, who was watching this, stroked the cat’s chin a few times and said.

“You can bring it to Wilhelm. There isn’t one. Someone to look after it.”

cat.

It seemed like a place where only the crazy people from Kairis were gathered together, but it wasn’t so messy that even a cat couldn’t live there.

Hina made an ‘ah’ mouth shape and diligently played with her hands.

– Thank you, good prince.

He is also a good prince.

Even when mentioning Kalyan, there was an unrecognizable sign language attached. Because of this, Plantz also noticed that since Hina had difficulty saying her name, it seemed like she was calling her by a different name.

However, the title given to him did not suit him, so Planz quietly looked at Hina and then opened his mouth.

“… I enjoyed it. Strawberries.”

There were too many though.

Five days have already passed since we finished that enormous dinner. After that, Hina had no chance to see Plantz as she was busy making various preparations to go to the Wilhelm Pavilion. That’s why Plantz also said that now.

It’s probably the first time I’ve said it since I was born, and it’s a word that means ‘thank you.’

Hina, who once again looked surprised at Plantz’s words, nodded with a silent smile.

– Next time, I’ll just bring you ice cream.

Everyone here is strange.

It’s okay to make mistakes. Understand everything.

“okay.”

There is also a really nice prince who says thank you.

* * *

The wind filled with moonlight is refreshing.

From the royal forest connected to the back gate of the Kairis Palace, there was a strong, green-colored smell of grass. A cool sound comes from a stream that is too big to be called a stream and not suitable to be called a valley. There is certainly a nice artificial stream in the back garden of Arpia Palace, but is it really that good?

While listening to the sound of water flowing toward the always quiet Seneu River, Kalian felt a little surprised. I had no idea the forest would be this big, and I had no idea it would be this nice. It is said that not only Bern but also old Calian did not know.

The forest was truly bigger than I imagined, as was the size of the Kairis Palace. Calian had clearly heard that this was a small forest. However, when I came here in person, I realized that this forest is so large that no one other than Sispani would feel that it is small. Just how big is the distribution of the area of the Kairis people and how did they make such an assessment based on this forest?

“I guess Your Highness has never been here before.”

There was a separate forest to visit for the hunting competition.

There were no beasts in the forest because it was a place touched by the Sispanians, just like the royal family. If that were the case, Lemain, who only sat at his desk and occasionally held hunting competitions, would not have come here.

“If you had come, I don’t think you would have asked me to come here.”

If Lemaine had come to this forest and knew that this was a perfect place to wander and get lost, he would never have given Calian permission to come here.

“Anyway, I only trust you.”

Calian looked around the dark surroundings and spoke in a quiet voice, patting the back of Raven’s neck. Raven, who was excited about the night walk in the green forest after a long time, made a purring sound and did something similar to the answer.

As long as Raven was there, there was no need to worry about how dark it got here or how deep one went. Even if you fall asleep on Raven’s back right now, isn’t Raven going to return to Chermil on her own?

“If I had known it was a place like this, I would have come here a long time ago.”

As the silence fills the air, I talk to myself more.

That too was Kalian’s habit.

– Multi-faceted, multi-faceted.

The sound of Raven’s small feet stepping on a hard, dry dirt road goes well with the sound of water.

Soon, Raven stopped in front of a wide field fully bathed in moonlight. Calian had found the place he wanted like a ghost.

Calian, who was enjoying the breeze while sitting on top of Raven, jumped down. Then he stood for a moment and looked at the sky.

“Do you see Raven?”

Raven slightly raised her head as if she understood Calian’s words. Calian laughed, thinking that he was really trying to look at the sky.

“All the stars are blue. I don’t know if you can see them, but I wish you could.”

And he said something like this, whether he was talking to himself or telling Raven.

There are unusually many blue stars in the sky between spring and summer. I once heard that the color of a star is its age, but there were so many blue stars in the sky at this time that it was difficult to relate it to that.

As if the ‘Time of Serenti’, which only comes to Secretia, was summoned to the sky, not the ground.

A time when it seems as if blue fireflies have landed all over the world. A wry smile appeared on Calian’s lips as he briefly recalled that special moment, which was also the time when Bern was born.

I thought that perhaps the only person who knew how beautiful the time was in this royal palace was Kalyan himself. Now that I think about it, it may seem meaningless.

“Stay far away. Don’t come back until I call you. It’s dangerous.”

Soon Calian said this to Raven.

Raven, who could be said to be the most valuable of all the things taken from Plants, purred once again and returned the way she had come. He would have gone somewhere far away on his own until Calian called.

Calian, who was watching the scene, sat down neatly on a small rock. It looked like it was waiting for someone.

Kalian has been wrestling with the documents for the past few days.

It was a document that Chase had left behind, detailing ‘how the aristocratic power changed after Randel ascended the throne as King of Tensil.’ Not only was it not enough to remember it all, but I was truly thankful that he wrote it down and handed it to me.

I understood and memorized a wad of paper as thick as two fingers. And as soon as he confirmed that he had memorized the entire contents, he burned it and destroyed it. Because it was information that should not exist in this world. No matter how well it is stored in Kalyan’s safe, isn’t it true that people don’t know about it?

‘We are leaving today, prince.’

After a few days like that, Arsene left the palace. It was to meet Margrave Gray Brisen and discuss his intentions.

At that time, Euria, the head of the Wizards Association, said she had to go there due to the moving magic circle being built, so she sent me there with Arsene. Even if I only accompany you to the nearby area, it will be better than Arsene going alone.

Anyway, since Arsene was sent like that, it was time for Calian to prepare as well. To do this, there had to be no people or buildings nearby. Because if someone or something is there, it will definitely break.

So, I was looking for a forest that was unbreakable.

How much time has passed since then?

– Jump and jump.

As I was just sitting there looking up at the sky, I heard the sound of not-so-loud footsteps approaching Calian.

“Have you waited long?”

The one person who would never be broken even if he was here came up to Kalian and spoke to him. Calian opened his mouth with a happy expression on his face.

“Master.”

It was Alan.

Calian bowed his head slightly towards Alan, who had willingly walked here to help his pretty student ‘prepare’. And immediately created a transparent Auror sword.

– Shhh!

A sharp crackling sound cuts through the air.

Calian threw a sword full of magic power and aura at Alan.

A curtain of red light unfolded from Allen’s fingertips, unfazed by the incredibly fast attack without hesitation.

With that, Calian’s new form disappears as if hiding in the shadows

– Kwaaaang!

A loud noise, similar to an explosion, shook the quiet forest.
