Reborn as the Enemy Prince

Chapter 21. On the other side of the abyss (6)

there is extreme boldness.

It may not have been intentional, but in any case, Calian was now using Siegfried as a shield. But now I’m going to use it as a screen as well.

“What do you think, Lord Siegfried? I don’t think it will be difficult.”

How much help can you get from Siegfried?

What is the scope of their beliefs?

Lemain’s older brother Asnan couldn’t fathom it. Since he was an indispensable friend, I thought that Slayman would grant all his requests. However, Sleiman, who was the head of Siegfried’s household at the time, flatly refused his friend’s request to help him with the sword.

“Calian.”

That’s why Sleiman laughed.

Now Kalian knew exactly the boundaries that only Slayman would allow. That was exactly the extent to which Slayman could help Calian without ruining Siegfried’s beliefs.

“Kalian. Kalian… Uaaahahahah!”

Slayman, who called the prince’s name several times in front of him, burst into laughter and burst into laughter. Hina looked embarrassed as the wound opened again, but she didn’t care and just smiled. Then, looking at Alan sitting across from him, he spoke in a booming voice.

“I thought my cub looked so much like me that he was a waste of money, but I chose the right person!”

Alan, who was quietly listening to the conversation between the two, spoke quietly.

“You bastard doesn’t even know what he chose.”

Kalian, who was just like a flower in Yan’s eyes, laughed at the accurate point. And then he opened his mouth to Slayman.

“Can I see this as permission?”

“No matter what, it’s still too expensive to pay for that marble. Please give me one more.”

Slayman, who said this, smiled broadly. He was bargaining with a somewhat mischievous look on his face.

For some reason, Lee Chae appeared in Allen’s eyes when he saw Slayman acting smart. And Calian just nodded without saying anything. The intention was to talk, but Sleiman remained silent for a moment and lowered his head to look at his wounds. Then he looked at the sword and opened his mouth towards Hina.

“I’m sorry, but could you please save me some space?”

Hina nodded and went out, and Slayman asked in a low voice.

“The swordsmanship used by Teilan has changed. So I didn’t think about it before, but this time I definitely understand. The swordsmanship of the prince and Teilan are the same.”

“Are you wondering how the current Lord Castrin and I use the same sword techniques?”

“The knight who protects the crown prince and the first sword on the continent would not teach the other knights of Secretia, would he?”

In order to explain how Calian knows Teilan’s swordsmanship, which cannot be taught to ordinary knights, it is natural to tell that Calian’s inner self was the prince of Secretia and the younger brother of Crown Prince Chase.

Calian, remembering what he had to answer, smiled with a faint expression on his face.

After all, it would be a problem for someone who already knew everything to know more details, but Calian wasn’t in the mood to bring up such a thing right now.

Alan, who caught a glimpse of Calian’s face, opened his mouth.

“If it is okay to explain, I will talk about it, so the prince can go in. I will also talk with your highness about the matter of keeping your knights hidden in the Duchy of Siegfried and then tell the prince separately.”

Even though we don’t know exactly what happened yesterday, Alan was taking care of Calian like this.

“Thank you. Then, I would like to ask you both.”

Calian stood up after thanking his teacher for his consideration. And after asking for understanding from Slayman, he went out.

Alan told me to rest, but I had somewhere else to go.

I had to meet Euria, the head of the Wizards’ Association, and Melfir Fallun, the head of the Fallun Merchant Marine. It was also time to meet the person who was desperately waiting for Calian’s help without even being able to say a word first.

There are so many things to think about, places to go, and people to meet, so it’s a good thing that there is no time to rest.

Calian, who was quietly laughing at that thought, took a step forward.

* * *

“Aww!”

When I heard him begging for a hug, I reached out and picked him up.

“What the hell are you?”

If you just stare out the window, it will beg you to hug it like this. As if depressing thoughts tell you not to do anything.

So, I can’t help but wonder if they really do this because they know something or if it’s always just a coincidence.

Of course, it was not possible to hear an answer, so Plantz just moved his hand and stroked the cat’s neck. Then I noticed that the color of the necklace around his neck had changed slightly.

At first, I thought he might have gotten bigger and had a new necklace, but I found it a little strange. Therefore, Plantz, who had his eyes on the necklace, chuckled.

‘I am Prince Calian’s cat who prefers Prince Planz.’

It must be Hina.

Calian is currently in a noisy and fast-paced state, and he wasn’t the type to do something like this in the first place.

I was looking at the cat for a moment after I changed it to a much longer necklace with its name written on it.

– smart.

I heard someone knocking on the door.

Plantz looked at the door for a moment without answering.

As is the case every year, after the King’s Birthday celebration, the princes’ schedule becomes more busy. This is because events that had been postponed due to festival preparations are held all at once.

So, the busiest ones were the servants, and Plants’ servant Reric was in a meeting as well as Jan.

And besides the maids and one servant, Plants had not yet selected any other servants. Therefore, if someone came to see Reric when he was in a meeting, he had to answer in person.

“what.”

Of course, it wasn’t a friendly response.

There was no answer to Plantz’s words.

Plants’ eyes narrowed as he opened the door, wondering if Hina had come to look for the cat.

After a while, a drowsy voice came out of Plants’ mouth.

“My brother’s room is downstairs.”

It was aimed at Chase’s knight, Teilan.

* * *

I took Tensil’s Holy Knight and tried to attack the Margrave Spirit where Gray was. And the plan failed.

Will Randel really stop here?

“Brother Randel will not give up.”

From Randel’s perspective, I had to think ahead of him. To do that, information was desperately needed. Therefore, Calian, who came to visit Euria and Melfir, spoke.

“As he thinks time is running out, he must be making plans to do something else, but since he has done things that are so unconventional, I have no idea what he will try again.”

Kalian laughed as he said that.

Randel, who was extremely rational, acted extremely irrationally and it was funny.

Soon Calian looked towards Euria and asked.

“Are the Holy Knights getting away properly?”

“I don’t think you need to worry about that.”

Calian tilted his head and asked at Euria’s words.

“the reason is?”

Then Euria answered with an expression as if something interesting had happened.

“The knights in Lancelot’s territory followed them last night.”

“If it’s Lancelot, is it the Baron standing on the Briesen side?”

“That’s right. I received word that they were not in the mood to cause an armed conflict and that they would be guided safely to the Tensil border. I heard that they are closely following them nearby to prevent them from escaping hastily or turning their horses’ heads to plan another attack.”

“I don’t think Marquis Briesen knew what the Tensil Healers were. Brother Planz said he met Marquis Briesen, so I guess that’s what he said.”

Since Evan was not the person to expand his thoughts that far, it must have been Plantz’s idea to lead Tensil’s healers to the border to prevent them from doing anything foolish.

“Is my brother helping me like this again?”

Calian, who laughed briefly while talking to himself, opened his mouth to Euria.

“Still, we must not let go and continue to monitor it from our side.”

“Of course. Don’t worry.”

Euria said this and smiled again.

After that, Calian turned his head and looked at Melfir who was sitting next to him. It’s been a really long time since we met face to face.

“Please check all territories that are showing sudden movement.”

Melphyr was also a person who had access to as much information as Euria. Because it is a place that does business with fiefdoms all over Kairis.

“So far, there hasn’t been anything unusual, and if anything strange happens, I’ll let you know right away.”

Calian nodded. Then he immediately opened his mouth with an apologetic expression on his face.

“There will be a blow to the top of Fallun. If the relationship with Tensil becomes soured due to this incident, Tensil may decide to stop diamond trading.”

“Don’t worry.”

Melfir smiled and answered as if it was nothing, and held something out in front of Calian. It was a small box made of tin.

“What is.”

“It’s more valuable than diamonds in Kairis now.”

“Is there anything more precious than diamonds?”

“Open it.”

Calian, who soon opened the box, looked confused for a moment. What was inside was a bright red gem that looked exactly like Calian’s eyes.

“Isn’t it Ruby?”

“Yes, my prince. It’s Ruby.”

Melfir nodded with a wide-eyed smile.

“I knew that Kairis’ demand for rubies had increased unintentionally, but I had no idea that this would be enough to replace diamonds.”

“It’s not at the level of a replacement, so I can’t sell it because I don’t have it. However, there is someone in the Secretariat of Secretia who handles rubies, so I met him yesterday. He was very favorable to me, unexpectedly. So, you don’t have to worry about the diamond trade with Tensil. .”

“Ah,” Calian closed his mouth for a moment.

It was Chase’s help.

Chase would also have known that Melfir, who should have been dead, was alive. There was no need to think long about who Melfir would have joined hands with.

“Thank goodness.”

Calian, who had many worries relieved thanks to Plants and Chase, smiled slightly.

So, with only one thing left to do, Calian came out of the Wizard’s Association with a slightly lighter heart.

And Raven walked with a truly comfortable gait while carrying Calian.

As always, Raven would take care of taking him to the palace, so Calian closed his eyes with the hood of the robe he was wearing deeply pressed down. That didn’t mean people didn’t recognize Calian, but it was because he felt a little tired from greeting them one by one.

– Multi-faceted, multi-faceted.

I don’t know how Raven knew, but she didn’t make a loud sound with her hooves.

The more I thought about it, the more I thought he was an amazing guy. As I was about to laugh to myself again, Raven stopped. Calian felt this and opened his eyes and looked ahead.

Standing there was a man wearing robes and a hood, just like Calian.

And Calian, who saw the reflection under the hood, stopped moving for a moment like Raven.

“You…”

Why did you come here?

Instead of asking that question, Calian smiled and called the name.

“Sia.”

“Captain! It’s been a while!”

The young-faced elf smiled broadly and answered. Sia’s answer was not ahead of the question.
