Reborn as the Enemy Prince

Chapter 33. They said they were going to raise a dog (4)

…… Kalyan.

Why is everyone so curious about names that have passed away?

Please skip that. Now, it doesn’t change just because Kyung remembers it, and that name is like a barely noticeable scar on me. It’s like a wound that has just healed.

There were a lot of scars. Here and there.

I’ve been getting hurt here and there since I was young.

No, there is no law that says a prince must live a decent life. You can grow up by fighting and having accidents. There are people who live like that and there are people who live like this.

As you live while trying to live, various things happen, and as you do that, you get hurt here and there, and you get upset and things like that.

Why did you save my brother?

If it seemed like a problem that could be solved by pulling out a knife, I would have cut it off first.

I’m not married.

I had a fiancé, but we weren’t that good of a relationship. Because we’re both busy. And I wasn’t that old. Because I was younger than you are now.

Sometimes, my older brother seems to think I’m a bit older, but I don’t think there’s any need to correct him, so I just leave it at that. It’s fun.

It’s alcohol. Did you like alcohol?

I started drinking with the thought that if I got too drunk, I would return to my original position, but it soon became a habit. I have to say that I liked it.

Anyway, I often drank it. Go up high and be with Kirie. When I got drunk, Kirie always carried me on my back, and it was a bit more comfortable for me because Kirie was much bigger than me.

I was comfortable. I should have asked if it was bothersome.

I can’t ask questions like that anymore.

Height… he was quite tall.

Probably a little bigger than the current Master Kiriena? It would be nice if he grew up like that this time too, but I don’t know what will happen. Since your Majesty is not small, I think he will grow similarly. well.

The hair was long.

It was the same color as Crown Prince Secretia. Since we looked similar, I was the only one who grew my hair out, but I thought I should grow it out a little longer, but then I couldn’t cut it well, so even after tying it up, it was long enough to reach my waist.

ah. I’m just saying this just in case.

I have no choice but to tell him because it is a condition of understanding what I have been hiding for a while and moving on, but I feel a bit uncomfortable.

Don’t pretend that’s the reason and just ask as if you were curious, and then make a weird statue like the one you did last time.

No matter what it looks like now or in the past, it’s all there.

If I see it, I’ll destroy it.

No, not the statue.

Lord Hertz. I.

* * *

The door to Randel’s room, which was unusually large, was closed extraordinarily tightly.

“Ha…”

Plantz let out a deep sigh, which I thought might have just become a habit, and quickly walked towards the stairs.

I don’t know the exact reason, but Reric, who was well aware that the two brothers were not on good terms, quickly approached and followed Plantz. I couldn’t hear any of the conversation inside, but just by looking at Plantz’s face, I could clearly tell that the atmosphere was not friendly.

– Tuk!

Planz unbuttoned his jacket as if he couldn’t bear it any longer, and by the time he stepped onto the stairs, he had ripped off the chain accessory that connected his shirt collar. Then he went down the stairs and nervously loosened his tie.

After gradually freeing myself from the things that had been suffocating me and going down to my room on the fourth floor, I stood in front of the door for a while. After that, he placed his hand on the door handle and spoke briefly.

“Leave it.”

These were words directed at Relic.

They told me to just leave them alone since dinner was ready and there was no need for me to follow them in and help them with my clothes. Reric bowed his head slightly without saying anything, and Plantz went inside and closed the door.

Relic looked at the tall and huge door for a moment and spoke to one of the maids who was following him.

“Tell Prince Planz that you will have dinner separately today.”

There probably wasn’t anyone who wouldn’t know who to tell that to. Of course, he meant to talk to Calian, and the maid slightly bowed her head and then walked away.

Relic turned his head to look at Plantz’s door for a moment and then walked towards the second floor.

‘Which car would you like?’

After Plantz entered Randel’s room, he had already seen Randel’s servant bring in a warm, melted chocolate drink. It was something that didn’t suit Plantz’s tastes at all, so even though I told him to leave me alone, I planned to prepare some tea that would help him relax a little.

I didn’t like all flower teas, and I didn’t even like fruit teas with strong scents. Therefore, after looking at the various types of tea leaves and dried fruits in the refreshment room and thinking for a while, Reric prepared ginger tea steeped in honey and went up to the fourth floor.

If your mind is cold, your body will also be cold.

I was careful not to make it too spicy or too sweet, so I left him alone with the tea, but Reric, who was ready to scold me and not criticize me for coming in, knocked on the door.

“This is Reric, Prince. I’ll go in for a moment.”

Since he said he would be alone anyway, it was clear that he wouldn’t even ask him to come in, so Reric said this and opened the door and went in.

A familiar room with no scent. The familiar white marble floor and the familiar beige curtains. A familiar sofa of the same color and a familiar light green prince with his back buried there and his eyes closed. And the familiar black prince sitting across from him.

…… Black color?

“Oh, I guess it’s ginger.”

The smiling face turned towards Relic.

“Just one drink for me too. Add a lot of honey. A lot.”

And he said this so naturally.

Yeah, like.

As if it were my room and my servant.

* * *

–

Reric, with a dazed look on his face, went out and returned a while later to put down the ginger tea with a lot of honey, while Plants continued to lean on the sofa with his eyes closed. And as always, Calian sat with his back straight and was deep in thought.

“What.”

When I heard Reric go out again and close the door, Calian opened his mouth first and Plantz spoke.

Calian, who was looking at Plants like that, opened his mouth and instead of saying the words he was about to say, he answered first.

“Vice Commander Hertz came. I tried to deliver the message from the birds, but he said that my brother was not there so I went to Vice Commander Hertz. Thanks to that, I was able to see the letter that Vice Commander Hertz sent from Crown Prince Chase.”

Sticky, bitter and stuffy.

After taking a sip of ginger tea, which had a sharp, sweet taste that was completely different from the unpleasant taste of bitter chocolate, Plants put it down and looked at Calian.

“so.”

The question was whether Arsene had come here to talk about seeing Chase’s letter. Calian nodded slightly, drank the spicy and very sweet tea, and then opened his mouth again.

“I don’t know when my smart brother learned how to apply bandages. Anyway, you can forget about that now. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know.”

Calian knew the story that Arsene had brought up on the day Arsene was injured to stop him from questioning Arsene, who was wondering how Calian knew how to bandage. What he meant was that since there was no need to block Arsene’s eyes and ears anymore, Planz didn’t have to try to hide him anymore.

Plantz, who took a moment to look at the car, which smelled more spicy than sweet, chuckled.

“The reason I get caught so easily is because I learned from watching.”

Perhaps the reason Calian’s identity was discovered by Arsene is because he resembles Chase, who is equally prone to being discovered. That was the story.

They didn’t say it was an accident involving Chase, but it was Plantz who heard it. Since the birds wouldn’t have gone to Arsene on their own, they knew right away whose ‘mistake’ this incident was.

“Rather, I think the problem is that Vice Commander Hertz arbitrarily read content that he should not have read.”

Of course, it was Calian who provided the most fundamental reason for Arsene reading it, but whether Chase intended it or not, and whether Plantz was present or not. Wouldn’t this have happened if Arsene hadn’t seen the content?

So, this was all because of that blue-haired wizard. Calian, who had clearly forgotten that he had blamed himself just a moment ago and had shifted all responsibility to Arsene, looked at Planz.

“There are only two people who want to follow me.”

Again, out of the blue.

He came out of nowhere and told Arsene that his true identity was discovered, and that there were two people who wanted to follow him.

“But you both did something you shouldn’t have done today. That’s why I came.”

Calian, who said something that even Plantz would find difficult to relate to, continued speaking with a slight smile on his face. He was in the process of coming up with an answer to Plantz’s question, ‘What is it?’

“One of them saw something he shouldn’t have seen, like I just said. Another one.”

As Calian said that, his finger pointed to his ear. The corners of Planz’s eyes furrowed when he saw that.

“I guess I went to see Reric to ask if he would like to practice further today.”

Crazy Takkari read a letter he shouldn’t have read.

The loyal Takkari heard something he shouldn’t have heard.

Calian and Planz sparred unexpectedly, so I wondered if I was going to proceed with my scheduled sword training with Kyrie. Kirie went to Reric to ask about it. Relic was on the 5th floor, Randel and Planz were on the 5th floor, and Kirie had sharp ears.

Thanks to you, I heard a bit of the conversation between Randel and Plantz. And as always, he told Kalian everything he heard, because he too needed to know.

“I didn’t know.”

That’s why he came to visit me.

I knew that our relationship was moderately bad, but I didn’t know that they would point their swords at each other to that extent. If I had known this would happen, I thought it would have been better to just put off Arsene and let Calian meet Randel.

“I would have said no.”

Plantz put down the teacup and said this. Didn’t I clearly say that once when I was told to go to the 5th floor? I don’t want to go.

“Usually people who dislike something that much don’t say it so plainly.”

He says it in the same voice and with the same expression as if he doesn’t like green peppers, but how can you understand that? I understand it as saying that I hate Randel as much as green pepper, or that I hate green pepper as much as Randel.

Who would have thought it was as bad as Renieri’s?

“Anyway, so I came because you said you wanted to be alone.”

Instead of offering an apology that would have been rejected anyway, Calian, who only said this, took out Chase’s letter that he had not yet read properly and put it down.

Doesn’t Calian know very well how being alone like this makes a person thin and twisted? Rather, it meant just doing work and eating.

“Go.”

I don’t like both the guy who lives on the 3rd floor and the guy who lives on the 5th floor, so why on earth don’t you go? Calian smiled brightly as he looked at Plantz, who spoke with that exact expression on his face.

“I don’t like it.”

Well, no matter what, we get annoyed and angry when we face things that we don’t like, and then we can take a breather. Something like that.

* * *

I thought it was a idiot.

“So, Sir Bern. I’m not Sir yet, but I will be soon, so I’ll just call him Sir.”

I didn’t know he was a weak drinker.

“Anyway, Sir Verne, that’s what I’m talking about. I thought our prince must have been hiding something. But, Sir Verne, it’s the prince.”

After finishing personal training and washing up, I went to Relic to ask about Planz’s training schedule, but instead of the schedule, I heard other things. I felt like I shouldn’t keep it a secret from Kalian, so I went to see Kalian. Arsene was just coming out, so he came out after telling Calian everything he had heard.

Arsene, who had gone outside a little while ago, was waiting for Kyrie.

“Do you drink alcohol?”

Then I asked this:

“yes.”

So Kirie simply answered and nodded. Rather than seeking out and drinking it because I enjoyed it, it was because I had drank it a few times when it was offered to me by gamblers with a ‘deep smell of Sispanian alcohol.’

Arsene then smiled happily and took Kyrie out of the palace. Without even having time to say anything to Jan, I only briefly explained the contents to Merlin and followed Arsene.

And then.

“Welcome to the home of Archmage Alan Manasil!”

I arbitrarily entered the empty house of Alan, who had not yet returned home. After identifying the guest, the stone statue opened the door while singing a lively song.

To be honest, this was the first time Kirie realized that it was not just a statue that sang, but also served as a gatekeeper.

“The magic circle has been built and Sir Grace has returned. Veronica will be at Sir Grace’s house. So what bar could be as quiet and safe as the Corps Commander’s house right now?”

Alan would have definitely known that two men with blue hair and aquamarine hair had invaded his house. Therefore, Arsene chuckled as he saw Kyrie looking around nervously, wondering when and where the lightning would strike, and took out the bitter liquor that Alan had been saving as a show of pride.

“It’s okay. The corps commander is also an accomplice. So you won’t be able to say much about this incident.”

After reassuring Kirie in this light tone, he started cracking open the bottle.

It didn’t take long to find out that Arsene had come to Alan’s house with the intention of getting drunk.

“What a good person our prince is, Sir Verne. He is the kind of person who said he did a good job when he gave him a carriage ride and gave him a raise when he destroyed a building. Sir Verne. Don’t you know that? There is probably no other person so good in the world. But Sir Verne. “My prince. He’s good at wrapping bandages, and he’s also really good with a sword. But our prince is a wizard. And he’s handsome, too.”

I opened all the alcohol I brought out, mixed it all up, and without even knowing the taste or taste, I drank just one glass of the mixed alcohol and it ended up like that.

“So, since you are going to Camilon, is there anyone more suitable than our prince, Lord Verne? You are a man with more than you can offer. That’s why I sometimes thought about it. What kind of whim did Serenti have to collect all the good things and give them to me? “I even thought about that.”

After saying that, Arsene drank more alcohol and then continued.

“By the way, Lord Verne, I am. I first saw our prince over there on the Seigne River. Then he got off his horse. Then he kept looking at Annelucia.”

What were you thinking?

What were you thinking when you saw that?

“You’ve been looking at Annelusia so endlessly…”

Arsene, who had been talking up to this point, lowered his head.

I mixed all kinds of alcohol and fell asleep after just one sip.

Kyrie, who was looking down at Arsene, shook her head and lifted Arsene up. Arsene suddenly opened his eyes due to the wind and opened his mouth again, muttering.

“You said you couldn’t ask whether it would have been bothersome to carry him on my back. Was it bothersome, Lord Verne? Ah. You said you couldn’t ask me because Sir Verne wasn’t Sir Verne…” And then he sighed again and shook his head

.

Kirie, who thought for a moment about whether to throw the hair away completely, sighed and walked away.

I knew where the guest room was in Alan’s house, but I didn’t feel like taking Arsene there and putting him down, so I carried Arsene onto the living room sofa and laid him down.

I don’t know what kind of guts it took to bring Kirie in as a drinking buddy for a short period of time.

“Would it have been a bother?”

Whether that Kirie was this Kirie or not.

There’s no way it would have been bothersome.

Arsene gave an answer you couldn’t hear and left Alan’s house.

In the end, I didn’t even drink a single sip of alcohol.
