Reborn as the Enemy Prince

Chapter 75. Let’s think about

becoming a great wizard (3) .

Let’s think about it.

– Did Prince Siegfried disappear together?

– yes. They said they couldn’t find it.

– Then, Master. Do you know why we only heard about the dawn attack from Shurinz now?

– The Margrave of Schrinz offered to attach knights as guards, but Duke Siegfried refused. Because of this, I was unable to understand the situation immediately, but I heard that the Margrave of Shurinz came to know about it when he visited again this morning after sending his greetings to His Majesty the previous night.

– The annex… I understand that the annex also has communication equipment.

– The Margrave of Schrinz confirmed that it was broken so that it could not be used.

– There is a possibility that what the margrave said was false.

– This is a fact that Lord Siren confirmed after speaking directly with the attendants who served His Highness in Shurinz.

servants. The servants are alive.

– …Are all the attendants still alive?

– That’s right. It is said that Sir Ren, the guard knight, was seriously injured, but his attendants were all unharmed and were lying unconscious.

The servants guarding Lemain’s side were not killed.

Guard driver Ren was also saved.

Communication equipment was destroyed so that the raid could not be immediately reported to the Kairis Palace. However, rather than killing the attendants and the guard knights who had lost their fighting ability, as it was obvious that they would somehow inform the palace of the truth as time passed, they were left alone.

– Any signs of a fight?

– Blood stains on broken and cut furniture. There were several traces, but there were no bodies of those who attacked.

– So, Sir Ren and his servants saw the culprit?

– Lord Ren hasn’t woken up yet. I heard that the servants seemed to be under magic.

– Are you talking about magic like sleep?

– yes. No one saw it.

– Siegfried’s Sir Ronansite went with him. Wasn’t there Sir Ronancite?

– Not confirmed.

Knock knock knock.

Calian, who was tapping the table at a rather fast pace, put pressure on his closed mouth. In order not to go straight to Shurinz. To understand the situation first.

“Calian.”

Plantz’s voice was heard.

Calian looked at Plants with sunken eyes and opened his mouth.

“I’m sorry, brother. Could you please wait a moment?”

“…… okay.”

How can I tell you that your father, who left the palace as you recommended, has gone missing?

Calian, who was lost in thought a little more, spoke to Alan.

– It has been one day since I informed you that Your Majesty was in Shurinz. And from Kairisis to Shurinz, two days. Even if someone were to send assassins straight to Shurinz to target His Highness, the assassins would not be able to get to Shurinz in time. Moreover, isn’t Shurinz a place where the gates are closed when the sun sets? It is too far-fetched to think that the entire military was sent to forces already residing in Schrinz.

– yes. That’s right. If he was an assassin who could be prepared in one day, there would be no reason for Duke Siegfried to disappear with His Highness. They would all have died at the hands of the duke.

– Then it’s probably Xeon.

– yes. It seems that Duke Siegfried and Lord Ronansite could no longer deal with each other and retreated with His Highness through a secret passage. If not…

– He was captured by them.

Alan’s answer was not heard.

Instead, Calian continued speaking.

– If it is a simple assassination attempt on the King, you need to buy time until you can find His Majesty and achieve what you want. In such a situation, there is no reason to spare the servants and bodyguards who will inform the palace of the truth. At least in order to frame the Margrave of Schrinz, he would have killed Lord Wren, who would have confronted the attackers directly.

– Do you think the purpose is different?

– If Xeon had come forward, I think he would have been more interested in Prince Siegfried than in His Highness. Siegfried and I are holding hands, and at this moment, the Sword Master is alone in the most accessible place.

– Are you saying you were targeting the duke?

– yes. and. Master or even this royal palace.

Knock……knock.

Calian’s fingers, which had been moving slightly slowly, stopped.

– He deliberately saved the servants and Lord Ren. Let the royal palace know the truth when an appropriate amount of time has passed. If Your Majesty, who is no one else, disappears, it is certain that Master will go there. Either they were aiming for the palace where the Master disappeared, or they were aiming for the Master who was urgently needed… or they wanted to get both.

– then. What would you do?

– I’ll go.

– I heard that the prince was upset during the fight with Lord Castrin. Do you mind if I use movement magic?

– It healed overnight. are you okay.

-Are you planning to upset the old man again?

– Only then will I be safe, Master.

Calian, who had been looking at his fingertips, raised his head.

He then looked at Planz, who was still looking at him and must have sensed that something had happened, and continued speaking.

– If the Xeons attack a place where Sir Hertz is injured, there will be a lot of damage. What if something happens in the palace right now and someone sits on the throne of Arpia Palace? Or, just in case, contrary to what I thought, what they were aiming for was right, and your brother is the crown prince, and something goes wrong with you.

If the Sispanian blessing is lost in any way.

– I am the one who is most affected.

Alan’s words were not heard.

Although I tried to change it to another word, I eventually understood that it meant ‘dying.’

Instead of waiting for an answer, Calian infused magic into the ring rather than the communication bracelet.

– Jan.

– Yes, my prince.

– Please call Kyrie. And tell Hina to tell her to come back to the palace. There must be an escort. Absolutely safe. When you come to the palace, just tell Master to go see you.

– yes. All right.

– And I’m at the Duke’s residence, Jan. Tell Demirea to close the gate.

– Is it a big deal?

– huh. little.

– Should I not worry about this too?

– no. Just doing a little bit. You have to worry about not only me, but Prince Siegfried too.

– Is this on the Schurinz side?

– that’s right. So just a little bit. Nothing will happen, so don’t worry so much that you don’t sleep or skip meals.

– …… yes. I will do that.

Calian stood up.

And then I spoke to Alan again.

– I told you to call Hina. Lord Hertz, Lord Zeia, Lord Scone. Please tell me to at least treat those three immediately. I will take Kirie with me.

– That’s right. And I will take you to Shurinz. I will pick you up and come back right away.

– Rashid Briesen is also related to Zeon. We still haven’t figured out what they were trying to do to attack Master. If you find a way to at least interfere with Master’s magic, it will become dangerous the moment you leave Master’s palace.

– Could such a thing exist?

– It was also in Evan’s mansion. It may have been useless, but there’s no guarantee that there won’t be something stronger than that. If there is no such nonsense, how can you not be afraid of Master? There is a movement magic circle connected to the vicinity of Shurinz, so I can go there.

– In that case, take at least Siren with you.

– yes. I will do that.

Calian’s eyes turned to Plantz.

“I have to go to Shurinz.”

“Come with me.”

Do you want to go together? Do you want to go together?

There is a subtle difference, but it is impossible to know exactly what it meant. Calian looked at his brother for a moment as he said those words, and then answered as if he had gathered his thoughts.

“yes.”

“I think it would be better to leave Chermil Palace empty.”

“Yes. That would be better.”

Kalian, who had the same thought, nodded obediently and left the room. At the same time, light flowed from another bracelet Calian was carrying. He called out someone other than Alan and Jan.

– Ayla.

The answer did not come back right away.

When Calian left the room and reached the stairs, he heard Aela’s voice.

– I’ve never talked about this before. If you’re confused because there are so many bracelets, please contact the other side again. I’m not dangerous.

– I’m in danger, Aila.

– The prince?

– okay. So, let’s go somewhere together now.

-What are you trying to do?

– Escort.

– Escort the prince?

– The prince is a prince, but I am not.

Calian’s feet touched the stairs.

– Corn silk with healing properties.

Not going down.

In the upward direction.

– What is that. Anyway, I got it.

– Come out right away.

– I’m leaving.

Calian climbed the stairs. And I tried to talk to Alan, who was still full of worry.

But Alan’s words were relayed first.

-… Don’t get hurt… and go home.

The world’s most pleasant undertone has been delivered.

For the first time.

– yes.

Calian laughed.

– I’ll have a nice trip. father.

Do not apply too much force, and do not relax too much.

The difference between applying force and not applying force is whether it causes necrosis or is useless. If there’s one thing they have in common, it’s that they’re both sick.

This is a story about hemostasis.

“Are you in a lot of pain?”

The person who frowned at the words that were said to him, knowing clearly that they would hurt, answered.

“It’s so damn good.”

“I taught you one harsh word, but did you still remember it?”

“To use it in times like this.”

“Looking at your response, it seems like it hurts like hell, but it’s not so bad that it kills you. That’s good.”

“okay.”

“Anyway, I’ll endure it.”

how.

If you were going to tell me to endure it, why did I ask if it hurt?

Lemain, who was about to say this, closed his mouth.

“Your sons have been through worse than that.”

This is because I was speechless at what Slayman added.

Therefore, Lemain just nodded without saying a word. I looked down at my right arm, which was in so much pain that it was just damn painful because Slayman had tied it up with just the right amount of force.

Slayman, who was looking at the scene, made a horrified voice.

“Then why do you block a healthy arrow with your body? I hope you block it.”

“I saw an arrow flying towards the back of your head. I should at least block it.”

“I’m saying this because I did something useless. What kind of thoughts are coming from the Sword Master’s head that he’s worried about getting an arrow stuck in his head?”

“You never know. If you stay alive, I won’t die. Isn’t it better to get hurt than to die? Even if I get hurt the same way, I get better faster.”

“Do you know how precious your life is?”

“You are the one who told my sons to do something helpful. Now I know that it is helpful for me to be alive.”

“I’m glad you didn’t just remember the harsh words.”

– Ja-bak, jap-a-bak.

But then I heard the sound of small feet quietly approaching. Lemain turned his head toward the sound, and Slayman wiped Lemain’s blood-soaked hands on his pants. He seemed not to be alert to the sound of footsteps getting closer.

“No one is coming this way yet, Duke.”

Because Slayman was not a person who could not hear the footsteps of the knight who had been with him for nearly half of his life.

“I could use a moment to catch my breath.”

“yes.”

Slayman nodded and took out another bandage.

After pulling out the arrowhead that was deeply lodged in Lemain’s arm and stopping the bleeding, it was time to take care of the second patient.

“It’s okay. I will do it.”

Ronansite said this, knowing full well why Slayman, who was fine without a single scratch, would have taken out the bandage again. He then received a bandage from Sleiman and began to cover his long cut from the back of his hand to his elbow.

How long was it like that?

Lemain, who did not know what had become of Guard Knight Ren, Chamberlain Raoul, and the other three servants, was deeply worried, and Ronansite, who was fully bandaged, turned his head to scout the surroundings again. Slayman looked at Lemain.

“Lemain.”

“why.”

“There must be a moving magic circle. Do you know where it is?”

In fact, I asked without any expectations.

Wasn’t the moving magic circle created by Calian and Balkan? Even if Calian had first received permission from Lemain every time he set up a new moving magic circle, how would Lemain know about the numerous moving magic circles installed in the vast land of Kairis?

“From Shurinz towards the County of Eifrin. It takes about two hours by horseback.”

But surprisingly, truly surprising, this answer was given.

Even though you looked like a cow, you weren’t really a scarecrow.

As the head of the elephants whose inner thoughts are clearly revealed on their faces, Slayman looked at Lemain with a face that seemed to depict his own thoughts.

“… Why I sit at my desk all day. I thought I knew that much, but I guess I didn’t.”

Lemain said in annoyance.

This is a fact that neither Lemain nor Slayman knows, but in fact, it was Lemain who created the Balkans in the ‘past’. The head you have is not a decoration.

It’s because I’m always being overlooked.

“Then let’s go that way.”

“Are you saying we want to completely escape the Schurinz Territory?”

“Do you want to ask for help from the Margrave’s soldiers?”

Lemain nodded in response to Slayman’s question.

Lemain, who turned his eyes towards Schrinz Castle, which was hidden in the dark and could not be seen, gave an answer.

“Even though the secret passage leads to the outside of Schrinz Castle, it is not far from the castle. Lord Manasil will come soon if he finds out that I am gone, so it would be better.” “Lemain. If we go back there and wait for the Marquis Manasil to come, we will die and change the Surinz border

. “Even a hundred soldiers die.”

After saying this, Slayman raised his sword and held it out in front of Lemain’s face. Even in the darkness without any light, I could see a small scratch on the blade, which gave off a cool air.

“I’m talking about the red aura from their sword. They don’t shine to look cool, but they are an Auror. An Auror strong enough to damage the blade of my sword. Since you were a guard knight and my knight commander, it ended up getting hurt. Shurinz. “The Margrave himself may not be able to endure it, but other knights cannot endure it.”

“Then again. Is this the force that Calian was talking about?”

“That’s right. Maybe Lemaine is interested in me, not you. Anyway, now that we’re out of Shurinz Castle, let’s go towards the moving magic circle. When the Marquis Manasil comes, he’ll quickly find us wherever we are. If your son comes, go towards the moving magic circle. “I will come, so whoever comes is better.”

“……Calian.”

“okay.”

Slayman took out his pocket watch and checked the time.

Seeing that the darkness had completely deepened, I roughly guessed that there wasn’t much time left until daybreak.

“Ronansite.”

“Yes, Duke.”

“Think that you are watching His Majesty’s bodyguard instead of Lord Ren. Even if there is another fight, you must not leave His Majesty’s side.”

“All right.”

Slayman nodded at Ronansite’s short answer and turned his head from her to look around. After checking the direction of the stars and the topography of the dark mountain, I opened my mouth to Lemain.

“Okay then, Lemain. Let’s go hiking for the first time in a while.”

“……Okay.”

“Stop whining that your arm hurts.”

“I don’t.”

“Good.”

Slayman, who stood one step in front of Lemain, moved his feet.

And then I started walking into the dark mountain.

* * *

Royal Road, the widest road in Kairis.

The carriages and carts that were passing on the royal road moved to the side of the royal road, and the horses also veered off the road and stopped.

– Tap, tap, tap!

This is because several horses are running at high speed as if they do not know that horses cannot run within the capital city.

Of course, I didn’t get out of the way because I was worried about getting hit by fast horses. If that were the case, there would have been no reason for people walking nearby to quickly bow in place.

– Tap, tap, tap, tap!

A black horse running in front of several horses as if opening a path. White hair on the horse’s right ankle. This is because I recognized Calian, with black hair and red eyes, on top of the horse.

Not only that. Plantz and Randel could be seen behind Calian, who kept his back straight even on a fast-running horse. Those who followed were also people everyone knew well. There were no more people in Kairisis who did not know the Knights of Calian, who had eyes of different lights, as well as Euria, the head of the Wizards’ Association, who needed no further explanation.

And there would be no one who would not recognize that the sea-green hair of the swordsman who was riding alongside him was the same color as that of the man whom Kalian had personally saved by catching him after falling from the roof of a building located on Naeransha Street.

There was no time to reply to those who had posted their compliments as they were so surprised by the extremely unusual appearance of not only Calian and Flanz, but also Randel. Calian continued to drive the Raven as if he hadn’t seen them all.

– Kugugugugung…!

As the outer castle gate began to come into view in the distance, I heard the sound of the huge iron gate of the outer castle being opened in a hurry, which usually only opens the small gate where people enter and exit.

Because we should not tie up the feet of royals who do not need to stop and wait anywhere.

Thanks to this, Calian, who left the capital without any delay, turned his head to the left. To the brothers who were facing the air outside the castle that they had never been outside of since the Rosellita coming of age ceremony without receiving any other explanation.

“I’m telling you just in case.”

Calian opened his mouth while still sitting on Raven, who did not slow down at all.

“I’m not taking Brother Randel because I’m afraid His Majesty might get hurt.”

I may have been hurt.

It wasn’t about taking Randel for Lemain.

“If anyone is seriously injured, I would like to ask for treatment. I have no intention of forcing you, Your Highness, so don’t worry.”

“Then why did you summon me?”

“If I go out of the palace without Your Majesty, it would be a good time to falsely accuse either you or Randel of having closed the palace, so I am leaving Chermil Palace completely.”

“Weren’t you really worried that I might close the palace?”

“Of course, I don’t think so.”

Calian responded with a grin and turned his head to the other side.

And after looking at Planz, who had been sitting on top of Estina with his eyes downcast without saying a single word until now, he looked forward again.

If Crown Prince Plantz stood in the center, Randel would somehow end up running next to him. So Calian, who took the place in the middle of the brothers instead of Plantz, continued running towards where the moving magic circle would be.

– Tap, tap, tap!

The sound of the hooves of several horses echoed again.

And that time.

Sleiman of Shurinz was firmly holding on to the sword he had drawn for the fourth time today.
