Reborn as the Enemy Prince

Chapter 76. If you say yap, yuk (4) is

the correct or incorrect answer.

“I thought you would be okay if you were in the palace. Even if Master were to be unable to use magic, I thought you would be safe in the palace.”

I chose the wrong answer.

“I should have found out quickly what his plan was. I should have figured it out somehow when I met Rashid Brissen at the residence of the Marquis of Brissen. I should have pretended to be relaxed and generous. Instead of acting so confident, I should have caught him and told him the secret. “Yes.”

“You know that wasn’t the case.”

Rashid Briesen could not be caught right away. I couldn’t come to Shurinz with Alan, and I couldn’t have Calian not come. The number of wrong answers that we did our best to select increased like that.

Alan said that Dmirea and Siona would help him somehow, and that he would also ask for help from Arsene and Teilan before going to the forest north of the palace. So don’t go this time.

‘…… Sorry. By blocking it.’

I couldn’t do anything about Plantz’s words.

I shook off Chase, who was crying and trying to stop me from going, and crawled out. When I thought of that, it overlapped and I couldn’t shake off the arm that was grabbed by Plantz.

– Slurp.

In the end, I stopped and leaned against the wall of the hallway of the castle.

I left Plantz, who wouldn’t let go of his grip on my left arm, and didn’t return the communication ring that Plantz had taken, and didn’t stop Plantz from summoning Demirea through Jan. I lowered my head and closed my eyes.

“I just said I would understand.”

Calian, who was just listening to the ticking of the pocket watch in his pocket, spoke incoherently.

I spoke out because it was too long without me being able to go there in person and without knowing the situation. It was my first time in my life that I couldn’t step forward and just watch, so I spoke up because it was so unfamiliar.

“There is no answer, so don’t worry. It’s cold, so don’t go out late at night. Don’t wait all night and get sick. That’s what Master said… I just said I would understand.”

Plantz listened.

Calian’s rambling words continued.

“I will come back, so don’t worry. Take Ariane and your mother with you. They said they would come back no matter how far it took. I told them that, but Brother Chase didn’t say anything. He didn’t answer, telling me to be careful.”

I really regretted lying and saying I would go.

Chase must have regretted leaving it in silence.

I know that now. I finally found out.

“… I would have told you to be careful.”

In the end, I should have told Alan, who was worried about Calian, not just that I knew, but to be careful. Only now do I regret it.

Plantz let out a long sigh.

I relaxed the hand that was holding Calian’s arm so tightly that I thought it might bruise him. I didn’t learn anything from that little brother about what to say in times like this, so I just stared at him and then opened my mouth.

“Do it next time.”

Wouldn’t it be okay if both of them were equally worried?

I need to reassure at least one of them. I need to comfort you.

However, I didn’t say that there are things that other people can handle without you. I learned through experience that words that are nothing to others often become a dagger to Kalian. So I picked that out.

“Next time, don’t forget to do it.”

All I said was that it was different now than when I walked out in front of the castle gate. I just told Alan that nothing would happen and that there would be a next time this time.

“…… yes.”

Calian answered quietly.

Because Planz is smart.

Because it’s definitely true.

– Sweet.

When Planz, who found out that Calian had given up his stubbornness to go to Kairisis, tried to return the ring he had stolen. The door to the living room opened and Lemain walked out. After that, Slayman, Ronansite, and the rest of the party were seen coming out together.

Calian, who took his back from the wall, and Planz, who turned to Lemain, set an example. Remain, relieved to know that Calian had not gone far, opened his mouth.

“I think I’d better go back now.”

Calian nodded.

“Yes, Your Highness. I will take you to Shurinz right away.”

“no.”

But Lemain shook his head.

“Let’s go to the palace.”

“… Your Highness. Kairisis is now”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

He said he would return to Kairisis.

Plantz cut off Calian’s reply that he couldn’t do it because it was dangerous there and gave his answer.

“I will tell you to send a convoy from Balkan towards Kairisis’ moving magic circle.”

“No, Your Highness. It’s dangerous.”

“Zeon must have thought that we had no idea about the plan to attack towards the Royal Forest. Then, there wouldn’t be any of them outside of Kyrisis Castle.”

“No, brother. They may have saved the power to cause incitement in order to divert attention from Balkan. We cannot be sure of safety outside the outer walls.”

“According to what you said, I’m not sure if the road to Shurinz is safe.”

“So, me and Duke Siegfried.”

“Thanks to Brother Randel, Duke Siegfried can now use the magic circle. In that case, Duke Siegfried and Balkan, who will escort His Highness from the outer castle of Kairisis to the palace, will come out of the forest at any moment. “Isn’t it safer than going back to Shurinz while being wary of them?”

“Instead, isn’t the royal palace more dangerous than Shurinz? We don’t know what happened to the royal palace. The battle in the royal forest isn’t over yet. We can’t judge whether the royal palace is safe until we hear from the royal palace. .”

Calian turned his head from Plantz and looked at Lemain. It was obvious what Calian would say, so Lemaine spoke first.

“I don’t know if there is a problem in the palace, Kalyan. If there is a problem in the palace, what I should do is not move the capital, but return to the palace as soon as possible.”

“majesty.”

As a king, that is very natural and admirable, but why are you so admirable now? It’s so unfamiliar. Being unfamiliar is not the problem, but if you do that, Your Highness, you will really die. Do you think that peas are the only people who have ever survived? Pea Father, the same goes for you.

Calian barely held back the words that were about to come out of his mouth. And while I was thinking for a moment about how to package these words as ‘a son saying out of concern for his father’, Plantz opened his mouth.

“I will take my brother and Kalian to Shurinz.”

And Kalian made a loud noise once more.

So, in short, if something goes wrong with Lemain, who was returning to Kairisis, Planz will immediately change the capital of Kairis to Shurinz. I also knew that it would be dangerous if the Sispanian blessing was lost from Calian, so it was obvious without even looking into it that I planned to swear a knight’s oath to my younger brother as soon as the news was delivered or the smell of blood emanating from Calian became stronger. am.

Aside from wishing my father to live a long and healthy life, Plantz knows where his father sits as well as Kalian. Calian, who was born as Lemain’s son but cannot live as Lemain’s son, unconditionally puts Lemain’s safety first, but Plantz does not. Although we cannot ask Lemain to take the risk first, we cannot oppose that decision.

“Yes. Please do so.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Just as Chase eventually let go of his hold on Bern.

In the end, just as Bern was unable to break Kyrie’s stubbornness.

So in the end, Kalian lost again this time.

“…Be careful.”

I just watched Plantz who added this and Lemain who nodded after a while and went out.

“Kiri.”

“Yes, my prince.”

“Ask Count Eifrin to send knights to escort His Highness. Right now.”

“All right.”

And he conveyed his best consideration for Lemain.

* * *

There were no problems until then.

“Siona Hill.”

When I came to the end of the path opened by the mother tree in the forest north of Kairis Palace. I didn’t know until I came face to face with the pointy-eared elf standing in front of me.

“I heard that the elder of your tribe betrayed us. Did you really turn your back on the warriors? Did you say that this country will accept you, who betrayed the elves and even the Great Desert?”

A tinkling sound rang out for a moment.

A pitchless voice followed.

“I was abandoned by the elves, not that I betrayed them. And… you are the ones who gathered together as you please, increased their numbers, visited other tribes in the great desert, and reduced the home of the proud wolves who refused to surrender to ashes. “Isn’t it a bit funny to call me a traitor just because I didn’t add my sword to it?”

“Stop talking nonsense, Siona. You”

“I don’t know when the warriors of the Great Desert started acting with that intention. I didn’t betray you, I just decided to follow my own path.”

The warrior who heard Siona’s words snorted.

– Slurp….

Soon the warrior drew his sword. It was to kill and eliminate Siona, who was no different from declaring that she would be their enemy.

There were no problems until then. however.

– Jump and jump.

Slow footsteps were heard, and someone walked and stood in front of Siona. The warrior who saw that sight strengthened his eyes.

“That’s it, Lord Hill. Stop and stay back.”

Something started to go wrong.

You may or may not know that Zeon’s soldiers who entered the royal forest of Kairisis also had such thoughts. The warrior also had the same thoughts as them.

“… We have to go back. We retreat.”

“The forest gate is closed. You can’t go back.”

In the warrior’s low voice, the man next to him delivered bad news.

“Didn’t we decide to keep the road open until the battle was over, just in case?”

“Yes, that’s right, but it’s closed. We need to break through.”

The warrior snorted again.

“Breakthrough.”

Four hundred men were sent to the royal forest of Kairisis.

It was thought that by throwing the capital into chaos, Balkan power would be dispersed.

‘Alan Manasil will protect the palace.’

‘Why would an archmage who wouldn’t be afraid of anything if he came out in person hide in the palace?’

‘The 3rd Prince will make sure that Alan Manasil cannot move carelessly. It is clear that Alan Manasil will not leave the palace.’

‘Then shouldn’t we send more soldiers to the palace?’

‘no. Allan Manasil is located inside the Royal Palace. But it can’t do anything. There is no need to send that many soldiers as Balkan will be busy with the soldiers spreading out within the city.’

‘I don’t know how much I can trust what you say.’

‘Do whatever you want. Either believe me and achieve your first victory, or disbelieve me and suffer a familiar defeat again. ‘It’s none of my business.’

First win.

Those words stopped my heart from moving.

Half of Zeon’s soldiers mobilized for this task were deployed to the royal forest and the other half to the forest north of Kairis Palace. That’s how it started. And not long after coming out through the forest path, I realized an important fact.

“…… Who are you trying to break through?”

Something has gone very wrong.

– Saaaa…

An unsettling sound lingers in the quiet forest.

At first glance, it sounds like the sound of a gentle wind, and at first glance, it sounds like the sound of something huge taking a long breath. That sound was quietly ringing.

However, there was no grand sign whatsoever. The earth was not shaking, nor did an enormous light illuminate the sky. The wind did not swirl. Nevertheless, the reason why I felt uneasy about it. There is only one thing:

“Both of you, don’t move and hide quietly behind me. It will be dangerous if you step forward carelessly.”

A man suddenly steps forward and treats Siegfried’s minor duke and the continent’s fifth sword master as ‘protectors.’ Even if he uses disguise magic, he cannot imitate it. Long’s face turns redder as he gets closer to the end. A man with his hair tied back loosely. A young man with sharp eyes.

Allan Manasil was standing there.

‘Rashid Brissen… I was deceived by him. Betrayed by the mother tree of the elves.’

I believed Rashid Briesen’s words, but they did not come true. The mother tree, which promised to keep the forest path open, closed the escape route. The idea of punishing the traitor Siona Hill has long been forgotten. With no way to escape, Alan Manasil was left alone. It looks like we have to break through.

Zeon’s warrior’s eyes widen.

“Retreat out of the forest!”

Alan Manasil is no match for him.

If he gathers and attacks, he will die as a group, and if he disperses and attacks, he will die as a group. So, it is better for each of them to take care of themselves. It is better to seek one’s own way. To the Kyris palace or to Kyris’ castle, which is connected to the north of the forest. Anywhere, somehow. “Retreat!” ”

Spread

out and retreat!”

The warrior’s orders were conveyed here and there

. At the same time, the two hundred soldiers quickly dispersed and started to run.

– Saaa…

As if seeing off the warriors of Zeon, no, as if they were regretting the guest’s words that they would leave as soon as they arrived, there was the peaceful sound of the wind rustling through the leaves. I heard it again. And.

– Bang!

Everyone’s movements stopped.

Time didn’t stop. Everyone stopped in place, unable to move a single fingertip or toe, or even look away. I couldn’t overcome the pressure pressing down on my entire body. .

After finishing the command and looking back, the warrior stopped before turning his head and barely took a short breath.

– …… Tuuk.

This is because I saw a bunch of flowers smaller than my fist falling.

Those guys who came across the path in the forest. It was a pure white flame given by Alan, which changed the gravity of the place where I was standing. The flowers that fell lightly fell on the hands that were stretched out on their shoulders, and on the feet that they stepped on. The flames fell one by one one by one. – Wow! Even at a moment like

this

. When I felt goosebumps rising at how beautiful the spectacle was, a sound was heard announcing the end of the beautiful silence. – Ugh! A

translucent

curtain surrounding Zeon’s soldiers unfolded.

The warrior who saw it gritted his teeth. What had just surrounded them was. This is because I realized that it was not a great magic. It was not a prison that opened a prison to confine them all, but simply a silent curtain to confine their voices.

– …… Howling!

The pure white flowers that came down beautifully burned brightly.

It burned persistently, holding only the bodies of the soldiers, without burning even a single blade of grass.

The two hundred soldiers who could not even use a single sword or spell disappeared one by one. I was tied up and couldn’t even move my fingers. Trapped in a silent membrane, screaming that can only be heard from each other. Cursing the stone in my heart that gave me strong healing powers.

“Allen Manasil!”

The warrior leading the only survivor who survived not because he was lucky enough to not receive Alan’s pure white Annelucia, but only because Alan decided to capture him alive, chewed his lips and shouted.

But the sound did not reach Alan.

Because the archmage who greeted them decided that way.

* * *

Calian told Siegfried to close the gate.

However, Duke Demirea did not follow his words.

After entrusting the mansion to her mother, Serie, and her knight, Yuran, she and Siona escorted Hina. Because that was the surest way to keep Hina ‘unconditionally safe’. After relaying Calian’s words to him, he stayed at the Wilhelm Pavilion with Jan, who followed him back to the palace, and observed the situation.

– Are you with the Little Duke?

Then, Plantz’s words were relayed.

Demirea, who received Jan’s bracelet, stood up. And while I was rushing to the forest north of the palace with Siona and Arsene, I received a second request from Plants.

Demirea stopped.

“Vice Commander Hertz.”

“Yes, Little Duke.”

“Your Majesty says he is returning to the palace now. I think we will have to send an escort.”

Alan and Lemain.

I didn’t think long about who should go on which side.

“Go to the forest with Lord Hill. I will take some of my men outside the outer castle.”

Arsene responded immediately and took his steps back. Afterwards, ten wizards, twenty knights, and thirty knights of Elazar of the King’s Guard were selected from among the Balkan members who were guarding the grounds of Arpia Palace and the old Heysia Palace.

“Isn’t it dangerous? It’s too small, Vice Commander.”

Damien Scone, the knights’ division commander, expressed concern, but Arsene shook his head.

“You can go to the royal forest through the west gate and return to the outskirts, so people won’t notice you, but the road to the capital’s outer castle is not like that. If your highness decides to return, shouldn’t you escort him as quietly as possible? If you see more guards than usual, the capital will be in turmoil. It will be sunset.”

“And what if there is an attack?”

“That’s why I’m going. I only need to escort one person, Your Highness, so that’s enough.”

Arsene answered as if it was nothing and hurried out of the palace.

– Tap, tap, tap!

In the morning, the crown prince and princes ran along the royal road, and in the afternoon, those who saw Balkan and Elazar running along the royal road looked surprised again. Therefore, it was a good thing that they came with a small number of people. Arsene’s group hurriedly crossed the Seine River and rushed to the outer castle. I passed through the outer castle gate and went straight to where the magic circle was and waited for Lemain.

By the time a certain amount of time had passed.

– Ugh… Coogung.

Following a small rumble, the ground shook for a moment. With that, the moving magic circle glowed brightly and a group of people appeared.

I saw knights wearing armor with the seal of the Count of Aprin, whose faces I had never seen before. I saw Slayman and Ronancité standing between them, and Lemain standing in the very center.

Lemain, who was covering the bandage on his arm with new clothes, found Arsene and walked forward.

“I will take you to the palace, Your Highness.”

Arsene gave a short example and said this instead of a greeting. Lemain nodded, and after seeing Lemain get on the horse, Arsene, who got on his own horse, spoke again.

“As long as you pass the outer castle gate safely, there will be no major problems. Once you pass the outer castle gate, you must run as fast as possible to the palace without stopping.”

“… Yes, I will.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

After answering, Arsene gestured towards his companions.

Slayman, who had approached on his own, took a seat in front of Lemain, and the remaining knights brought by Arsene and Ronansite surrounded him. Behind them, the wizards of Balkan, and the knights of Aprin at the very end, lined up in a long line and mounted their horses.

After learning that preparations were complete, Slayman started his horse.

I passed through the barrier of the moving magic circle and ran towards the outer castle gate. The sound of the horses’ hooves picking up speed echoed deep in the darkness.

– Kugugugugung…!

I hear the sound of the outer castle door, which was closed for a moment, opening again. Arsene, who was riding while watching this, bit his lower lip slightly.

– Ugh!

A blue aura forms on the tip of Slayman’s sword.

After thinking for a moment, Arsene fired a spell. A thick barrier of ice was created in front of the iron gate of the outer castle that began to open.

A closer place.

A place closer to the outer castle gate than Lemain’s group.

This is because I saw Zeon’s warriors rushing toward the outer castle in the distance.

“Keep the castle gates open!”

Arsene, who had blocked them from entering the outer castle with his own wall, screamed. And once again, magical power was concentrated in my hands.

All I have to do is somehow take Lemain with me.

All you have to do is take Lemain with you and return to the palace!

– Blah blah blah!

The cool icy road rushed towards them.

The people gathered together drew their swords at once.

So we prepared for a huge fight once again.

But then.

– Stop.

A voice was heard.

Someone’s voice reached my head, not in my ears, but in my heart.

– …Flutter!

Darkness descended on Kairisis.

It was already a dark night, but darkness fell once again.

Arsene raised his head.

Lemain looked at the sky.

-……many angles.

Lemain’s horse stopped.

Even though he was told not to get off, Lemain quietly got off the horse.

Arsene couldn’t say anything about it.

Huge wings.

Huge body.

Vast, endlessly expanding magical power. Breathtaking peer.

Because I saw it and felt it.

– He said he would atone for his careless silence, but he meddles without knowing the end of his arrogance.

The two wings of the huge black dragon, embracing the earth and holding up the sky, spread endlessly. No sound was heard in the ears, but a thunderous voice was engraved in everyone’s minds.

There is a halo of light on the black wings.

It soon covered the skies over Kairisis.

The ancient ancient dragon, who covered the entire sky and cast a shadow over Kairisis, emerged from the legend.

A young cluster of lights began to move on its wings. Jet black poured down the Sispanian’s huge wings and soaked into the walls of Kairisis’s outer castle. It spread along the floor of the royal capital. It flowed like a musical instrument over the Seigne River. I embraced my inner self and caressed the trees of the royal forest. It circled around the two statues in the square and spread out to surround the huge royal palace.

The voice of someone who has lived through hardships has been heard again.

– Go away. You have dared to invade my foundation.

The entire Kairisis glowed pitch black.

Every place immersed in that light. Sispanian announced that not only Kairis’ royal palace but the entire Kairisis was his ‘territory’.

– Do not overestimate my understanding. Biadhanur.

It was Sispanian’s warning to Danu.
