Reborn as the Enemy Prince

Chapter 79. Bow down (5)

Whitlin is a very strange place.

It’s full of people who don’t listen in many ways.

I’ve had dinner with people who didn’t listen even though Cornbeard told them to say hello properly, and it was the same this time too.

“You are making a strange request, sir.”

I told him to bow his head if he was sorry, and he responded like this. This is more courageous than just saying out loud that you won’t listen to anything. So Whitlin is a very strange place. Is it because everyone is hungry because it is a place where money is made well?

…… Envy you. Because I’m full.

Well anyway.

Calian, who was quietly looking at the guy who refused to bow his head, leaned back deeply in his chair. Then, he slowly moved one long leg and placed it on the other knee. It means crossing your legs. I hope that the posture that I will never get used to throughout my life will not look awkward.

Behind him, Pea looked down at the blue-haired crazy guy with an expression and eyes that were several times more languid than those he had seen when facing him.

“Does this sound like a strange request?”

“I’m afraid you don’t recognize me. I’m a human.”

“I thought Narzan would apologize for his mistakes.”

Of course, Narzan, the leader of the elves, never bowed his head, but he still delivered his sincere apology.

It seems that only then did he understand that the person sitting in front of him was not telling him to be polite since he was the crown prince of a country ruled by humans, but that he was telling him to show his sincerity in his apology instead of just saying he was sorry for running his mouth regardless of whether he was a human or not. I can see him slightly closing his mouth as he tried to introduce himself properly.

Calian, who seemed to think that everything in the world was at his feet, slowly curled one corner of his mouth. And he spoke in a very low voice.

“apologize.”

Calian, in the form of Plants, said this to the elf who looked very much like Freyja.

“Freyr.”

Additionally, I mentioned his name.

The guy, no, the elf who gazed intently into Calian’s light green eyes. no. The person named Freyr gave a small smile. He then made a short gesture toward those standing around him.

As soon as those words were finished, the people gathered started moving their bodies. Everyone quickly went outside, whether they knew or not that Calian, who suspected that this was a move for an attack, was preparing the Aurors. The seat was left empty.

Freire spoke after confirming that only the two of them were left in a moderately bright and moderately peaceful space that could not be known as a study, drawing room, or office.

“I look a lot like my younger brother.”

They said he was Freya’s younger sister.

It wasn’t that, it was my brother.

– Knock knock……knock.

Calian’s fingertips, which had been tapping the armrest as if there was no need to hide that habit, paused for a moment and then moved again.

Below article.

Siona, who is Freya’s age, has an appearance of a similar age to Arsene, so it is understandable that she is said to be Arsene’s younger brother.

People didn’t know that Freya was an elf. The ‘mutant elf’ Freya grew at the same rate as humans, but her siblings probably didn’t do the same. Even if he was my older brother, he certainly would have looked much younger.

“I didn’t expect you to recognize who I was right away.”

“In that case, you should have introduced yourself first. After apologizing.”

Like Hina’s, her ears are not pointed because they were cut at the ends. Calian replied, glancing at the edge of Freyr’s ear. Even though he confirmed who the guy in front of him was, he seemed to have no intention of changing his attitude.

A nice smile appears on Freyr’s face again.

Calian, who smiled a very bright smile similar to his, moved his lips.

“Three times. I told you so.”

Bern’s biological mother, Deanna, and Louise, who raised Bern just like her own son, had no family other than Bern and Chase. Devlan killed them all. And Bern had never seen any of Devlan’s other relatives. It’s the same reason. Devlan killed them all.

So, that person standing in front of me right now. A person who resembles Freya as much as Calian. Meeting his mother’s brother, whom he had only heard about, was completely unfamiliar to Kalian. It is as unfamiliar as the day I first spoke alone with Lemain after I opened my eyes again after death.

However, the situation is too sad to sublimate that unfamiliarity into welcome. ‘Nice to meet you, uncle.’ to the blood relative who kidnapped the royal family at will. As time goes on, I will lose my disguise and tell you that I am actually your nephew, so from now on, you can’t just openly share the affection of blood relatives.

Because he didn’t know whether the elves’ perception of his own flesh and blood would be the same as Slayman’s or Evan’s.

“I’m not asking you to show an example, but you said you would accept an apology, so then.”

Freyr, who didn’t know what was going on, interrupted Calian’s thoughts with these words. Then he stood up and slowly lowered his head.

“I apologize once again for the rude manner in which I served you. This is Baron Pierce Hazel, husband of Count Navia Hazel, manager of the Whitlin estate.”

I apologized.

– Knock knock knock.

He introduces himself with a slightly different name, hiding his status as Freya’s older brother and his real name, which Calian had already mentioned. It probably meant that he was living as the husband of a count, not the queen’s brother. We don’t know if he’s hiding his identity or if he wants to hide it, so we need to think about it a little more…

“…Prince Calian.”

It would be.

– Talk.

– Todok. Talk.

The still pale green hair shimmering before my eyes. Freyr’s face visible beyond. Calian’s lips drew a long line when he saw the dark brown eyes staring straight at him.

– Sigh.

Calian slowly straightened his back, which was leaning against the chair. I put my clasped hands on my knees.

Until there.

He faced Freyre without putting down his braided legs, taking off his disguise, or making any affirmation or denial of being called ‘Calian’.

A low voice came out that seemed to further oppress the heavy breathing.

“Business. Baron Hazel.”

Like this, in Plantz’s still-still-sounding voice.

I only briefly let them know that I was willing to have a conversation.

Even though we know Calian’s identity, we cannot treat someone who introduces himself separately from Freyja as ‘family’.

* * *

Eila was busy.

I was quietly trying to find out what kind of trap Rashid would set here, how the harpy appeared, and if there were any other suspicions. Then, the captain of the outer castle guard, with hair the color of a ripe mango, noticed something strange. So, I decided to focus my investigation on finding out about him.

Afterwards, Kalyan went to dinner. However, Arsene, who had left the castle on his own, found out what Aela was investigating.

Arsene went to find Plants that way. He then said he would go back outside the castle and conduct an investigation separately from Aila.

After hearing all that, Plantz looked from his bright red eyes to his bright blue eyes and answered.

‘I guess I’m following along well.’

These short words sounded a little long to Arsene.

If you’re going to go out without my permission anyway, why are you asking for my permission? Blue haired crazy wizard, I think you have mistaken me and my brother. Was I that good at imitating my brother? Called.

Because it has been a long time since I tried to interpret the words of my colleague, I have reached the point where I can translate and hear Pea’s response at the same time.

Arsene, who interpreted Planz’s words well, answered.

‘… It’s not because I can’t tell the difference between the third prince, who is not our prince, and our prince, that I’m asking permission for the third prince, who doesn’t look like our prince at all.’

I’m not saying I’m confusing our prince with the crown prince who can’t really imitate our prince.

‘then. why.’

‘If I tell the prince, it is obvious that he will tell me to do as he is told and escort the third prince, who is not our prince, if he wants to die gracefully with his body intact.’

A loyal tagari who does everything Kalian tells him to do, no matter what. Takkari is a bird who chooses the things he likes among the things Kalyan tells him to do. As if to make a clear difference between the two, this crazy Takari is thinking about disobeying orders after answering to Calian that he will do as he is told.

That crazy argument continued.

‘It is difficult for Sir Bridget to investigate alone. The Vulcan guys are soldiers, so they cannot be mistakenly discovered during the investigation. The Siren Association Chairman is not here as the boss of an intelligence organization, but is here to protect his Majesty and the Princes as requested by the Manasil Corps Commander, so he cannot go out and investigate information. So, even though I am a soldier, wouldn’t it be better for me to come forward as my pay cut is relatively low and there is little chance of being discovered by others?’

‘Why not?’

‘We’ve already been delayed a day because of the harpy attack. It would be better to quickly check what I can, even if I have to go out of my way to do so. Moreover, didn’t you get injured because of the strategy the prince came up with? So, the prince will now put the safety of you and the eldest prince first.’

‘… I guess so.’

‘yes. Even if there is a delay, I am not the type of person who would move one more person to check the situation outside. So, I must take care of it and go out as I please without listening to the prince.’

Instead of listening to Calian, I decided to go outside and gather some information. Whether it’s the plans of those in Whitlin, the circumstances of the Harpy’s appearance, or finding out what plan Rashid is preparing to lure Calian into a trap. He said he would take a break from his escort duties for Plants and Randel and quickly check everything.

‘okay. go.’

Plantz gave permission for those words.

In any case, Plantz is also angry at the appearance of ‘Callian’. Arsene may not have completely disobeyed Calian’s words. So even if this incident is discovered by Calian, that crazy wizard with blue hair will not be able to cross the Senyu River into my brother’s hands.

I was just thinking about that.

– Stay away from Lord Kyrie and Hertz. Make sure Siren doesn’t fall next to Randel.

So Kalyan didn’t know.

Thanks to Arsene’s absence without Calian’s knowledge and the fact that Euria, who was guarding Randel, came to Plantz’s room where his life was more important than Randel’s, an Amon Balkan wizard went to Randel’s room on Euria’s behalf. I ended up quietly hiding my body in a silence worse than death.

Euria, who had been by Plantz’s side through such complicated circumstances, remembered Allen’s angry face as soon as she heard that someone had fearlessly kidnapped Calian. Thanks to that, the day she really succeeded in using the dual attribute, she was embarrassed for the next time. I didn’t even know it happened.

– Sweet.

In addition, Navia, the territory manager.

“Magic……!”

“Uh, I’m a wizard, I’m the president of the wizard association, and I’m here to use magic.”

What I didn’t know was that a monster-like wizard who had mastered the dual attribute up to Circle 5 had entered his bedroom half in confusion and half in joy because he had something to do when he was already bored.

First of all, he put Silent in, but was Plantz’s request to bring him back ‘quietly alive’ meant to bring him ‘in a state with all limbs and body intact’ or ‘in a state so damaged that he could quietly breathe’? After thinking for a moment, Euria used her magic power.

– Slurp!

And then I put it to sleep.

Anyway, although she was a magician, wasn’t Euria a fairly rational person?

– I’m so touched…!

Immediately after Navia, who had gone into the bedroom due to these circumstances, fell into a deep sleep faster than expected. A sudden thick fog enveloped Whitlin’s lordship castle.

Thanks to this, the castle guards saw the body of the manor manager, lying beautifully on a curtain of water, thrown out of his bedroom window, floating in the air for a moment, and placed on the roof two floors above. I didn’t see the whole thing as the manager was wrapped tightly and hurried towards the other end, and then he was placed on the terrace of the VIP room again on a curtain of water.

Although Euria couldn’t carry people to the other side or down the valley, it was capable of covering a short distance of about two stories.

The fog that appeared suddenly cleared very slowly and naturally. This happened often in Whitlin, where there was already a lot of night fog, so the guards did not even suspect the fog.

– Shake it off!

This happened without Kalian knowing.

It’s really unfortunate that I couldn’t contact Calian, so I had no choice but to do it one more time.

As a result of those events, Navia, the captured territory manager, was placed in front of Plantz, sleeping beautifully.

“Here you are, Prince Calian.”

Euria grinned as she completed the truly difficult task of ‘quietly catching someone alive’ in just three minutes.

Since you did me a favor, I asked if you could keep the story about Calian being kidnapped without my knowledge secret from Alan. Full of such meaning.

Plantz nodded once and looked at Navia.

After that, he moved quietly to wake Navia.

Euria, who was watching Plants like that, hardened her expression. The smile that had filled his face disappeared in an instant.

“…… Lowering.”

Euria softly called Planz.

Without realizing that he had called Plantz, who had the appearance of Calian, a ‘low-class’.

It’s natural.

The Crown Prince’s only experience in waking someone up was waking up Lucy and Anne for a moment, who had doubts about how they could sleep in that position with their spines, and then helping them lie down in a position that he thought was more comfortable. . The crown prince could not ask Euria to kidnap a person and even ask him to wake up a sleeping person.

The crown prince is said to resemble a silique with black hair and red eyes.

– …… Kok.

I saw him bend down and extend his finger and try to wake Navia up by poking her shoulder as she lay on the floor.

* * *

The bracelet did not come off while I was intoxicated with the sleeping scent.

Even if the bracelet is put back on after seeing Calian’s true form, unless the user disguises himself again, it is just an attractive accessory.

So Freyre just knew. The real face of Kalian, who was performing the role of crown prince very well.

Does he know it alone, or does everyone in Whitlin and all the nobles already know it? How did you know?

“No one knows except me, so don’t worry. I have no intention of revealing it.”

Freyr answered first, as if he expected people to be curious about such things. Because of this, Kalian laughed.

Because I wasn’t worried.

Kalian is a royal family who ‘knows it will be justified’ even if he commits worse mistakes than that because he doesn’t want to end up like Devlan. So, using Secretia’s magic items, which are banned in Kairis, is nothing.

Moreover, Freyr is the culprit who kidnapped the royal family. It wouldn’t be surprising if I killed every single one of them in Whitlin right now, but the only thing I could do was get caught changing my appearance. What should I worry about?

“I don’t have a hobby of saying the same thing over and over again.”

So tell me your business.

“Rhodri Sias. He is the captain of the outer castle guard that the prince’s subordinate is investigating. Even if we pursue him, it will not be of any help to the prince.”

Calian looked at Freyr without answering.

Then Freyr opened his mouth once again.

“Whitlin is not connected to Briesen. He is not connected to the organization that the Prince is investigating separately. Quite the contrary.”

“If it’s the other way around.”

“I’m helping the prince. Sincerely.”

Then, if you’re going to ask me to believe you, how did you have a sleeping scent similar to the one Rashid used? How did Whitlin know that they were investigating Zeon and why he was kidnapping people?

Calian, who had a lot of questions to ask, hid his doubts.

This is because it was impossible to appear as if he was moved by Freyr’s words.

“why.”

Why are you saying you will help me?

I asked about that.

“It is only natural that the nobles here are wary of Crown Prince Plants. There is no one here who knows how to distinguish between a Vriesen and a lowly prince. That is because everyone in Whitlin knows and remembers my sister. That is why we are helping the prince. Now, I reject Briesen.”

“Queen Freya has never set foot here either. How do you know?”

“This is the prince.”

Freyr paused for a moment and then laughed.

“Brigit Forest of Kairis.”

Calian’s eyes narrowed.

Calian, who had been tapping the armrest for a while, opened his mouth.

“Are they all elves?”

“Elves and half-elves.”

“How is that possible?”

It is not known that these are elves.

Freya and her brother Freyr. At least two may have hidden their identities somehow. It’s not difficult if you have the money. However, it was difficult to believe that all the people I heard at dinner today were elves or half-elves. So how on earth?

When Freyr tried to answer that question.

– …… Cooung.

The floor where Kalian was was trembled.

Along with that, a familiar magical energy rushed in.

Calian felt that and smiled slightly.

“Anyway… I guess a guest has arrived.”

Because I told you to be quiet.

– Boom! Thump!

Even though you lost contact with me, you’re not the kind of pea that will remain quiet.

I wasn’t raised that way.

Although I didn’t intend to.
