Reborn as the Enemy Prince

Chapter 79. Bow down (2)

Kairis’ royal carriage.

The interior is so luxurious that you could say it was half a prince’s room, but on the outside it looks like an ordinary carriage.

Of course, it would be difficult to consider a carriage pulled by as many as six horses as ordinary, with a base made of white opal and pearl powder, splendid patterns engraved with all kinds of jewels, and gold melted to surround the carriage with the royal emblem. There will be.

However, even though it has a dazzling exterior that perfectly suits the tastes of the first king, Hatsuara, compared to all the magic and internal structure attached to it, wouldn’t it be fair to say that its appearance is just average?

– Tap, tap, tap!

So, what surprised Whitlin’s outer castle guard was not the fact that they found such an ‘ordinary’ carriage. The enormous majesty of the hundreds of soldiers dressed in pure white robes or uniforms or the two wizards with purple and blue hair were not reasons for surprise.

What surprised them was not a royal army, a luxurious carriage, or two renowned wizards, but a single person.

that person.

A person with pale emerald hair and pale skin.

“Open all the gates!”

“Let the carriage pass!”

A person who leads everyone while sitting with his back straight on a huge, black horse. A person who has a cold, expressionless face and exudes a noble and intimidating air as if he will burden those who encounter him.

So, even if you saw him approaching from afar for the first time today, you couldn’t help but recognize him.

“I am the Crown Prince!”

Crown Prince of Kairis.

It was ‘Planz Rune Kyris’.

– Tap, tap, tap!

The party led by the crown prince came unexpectedly without contacting the estate’s representative to come out to meet them, and did not even slow down until they reached the outer castle. The castle gate, which was only open enough for people and carts to pass through, was completely opened, and at the same time, they passed through the outer castle gate and ran towards the inner castle.

However, it didn’t feel like I was being chased by something.

The face of the crown prince standing in front of them was by no means urgent. Doesn’t the face that seems to be the only one under the sky tell me that I just absolutely hate having to stop and deal with someone?

Thanks to this, the person in charge of guarding Whitlin’s outer castle came out in a hurry to welcome the sudden guest of honor and ended up just watching the Crown Prince’s party pass by in vain.

“What is this…”

He suddenly came to his senses as he was staring at the back of the crown prince, who had taken his attention, at the sight of the enormous group of people who had just passed by. He then reprimanded himself for feeling lost for a moment because of his despair and ordered the outer castle door to be quickly closed again.

“Have you reported the news to the castle?”

“Yes. I sent the soldiers as soon as you ordered.”

“okay.”

The reason he looked at the crown prince so much was not because of despair, but because of the anger that the crown prince had been deliberately spreading out. A man who knew how to attract people’s attention to that extent could not break the stubbornness of his horse, so in the end, he could not change horses and ran. I couldn’t even imagine that the person who was coming, that is, on the black horse, was not actually the crown prince, but a pretty cat who was trying to enjoy the current situation by putting on the appearance of the crown prince.

– Don’t you think I’m following along well with my brother at this level?

– You’re just not saying anything.

– That’s right. Is there anything more important to pay attention to than just short words when following your older brother?

– If my brother is getting ready to bark again.

– That can’t be true. no. By the way, I always told my brother to speak longer, but in times like this, it’s easier to speak short. Did you go out of your way to keep your speech that low just in case a day like this ever came? Anyway, you probably don’t know how much admiration I get every time I find out that you are such a person with such a broad perspective.

– …You’re barking.

– How dare you bark at such a compliment. Are you saying such sad things to your younger brother, who is out alone in his comfortable carriage, that you can’t comfort him for his troubles?

– For this purpose, you borrowed a bracelet from your brother’s great servant and fitted it to him.

– Is that so true? I’m just telling you this just in case.

A black cat making a perfectly cold face.

So, there was no way that Kalian, who was easily creating and performing the ‘Planz of the rumor’ that even Plants himself could not imitate, was doing his best to fool around in his mind.

“… They said we looked so similar. It’s true.”

He muttered in a low voice and turned his head. He frowned as if trying to deny himself the fact that he couldn’t take his eyes off the crown prince’s appearance just a moment ago.

Calian, who had already gone too far to hear that voice, lifted his chin a little more. So, he looked down at everything in front of him with his eyes just that much higher, but spoke with a face that said he didn’t notice any place.

– Now that I think about it, brother, you could try to get along better with brother Randel. Do you know? Brother Randel might feel a little relieved when he looks at the pretty face of his youngest brother.

– I do not need. no.

– Then, you don’t have to be particularly close to me, so don’t unbutton your shirt and say that you feel uncomfortable being in the carriage with me. Because I’m not here to show off my beautiful neck to anyone.

– you.

– yes.

– If you’re worried that I might remind you of my mother and just ignore people’s words, that’s fine. Stop barking. Before showing that beautiful neck to anyone.

– … Are you so good at figuring out why I bark at times like this? I usually bark a lot.

– I’m glad you know.

The planz in the rumor.

The famous Planz looks just like its mother.

Isn’t it a rumor that Calian is more than Plantz, not less? But what Calian is creating now is a planz that fits the rumor perfectly.

Since he deliberately created and revealed the face he hated so much, there was no way that Calian, Plantz, or even Randel would feel at ease on the inside.

So I was barking.

Because we’re not so innocent that we can honestly express our concerns instead of barking.

– If you’re going to follow me, I’m the one who told you to do it right. Don’t worry. Because it’s okay.

– yes. Then don’t worry and bark more

– hey.

So, in order to blow off the scent of Renieri with useless words and to leave Landel and Plantz, who are now on edge due to Calian’s appearance, having a chance to fight, they barked endlessly like that.

– Diverse!

Raven, who had been looking forward intently on behalf of her master, who was continuing the conversation between the brothers, which seemed to have barely relieved the awkwardness, stopped. Knowing this, Calian lifted his light green eyes, which had been downcast as if he was not interested in seeing anything.

– …… I was going to do it. I can’t do that anymore. Because we arrived.

– Speak informally.

Yeongju Castle can be seen through pale hair blowing in the wind. An unfamiliar place that was his but he had never been to before caught his eye.

He also looked down.

As if it was insignificant. As if it was the world beneath our feet.

“It is an honor to meet you, Crown Prince Planz. My name is Navia Hazel, and I am in charge of the Whitlin Estate.”

Everyone hears the greeting of a manor manager with dark brown hair and dark gray eyes. With a firm smile on his face, the bony fingers that were resting on Raven’s saddle drew long arcs.

– Im here. ‘Brother Kalyan’.

It was a smile that couldn’t be portrayed with lips the color of Lucy’s soles.

* * *

‘Whitlin is my fiefdom.’

‘know.’

‘Actually, I have never once seen people withholding or defrauding me of the profits from my estate, even though I have never met them. The documents sent together were always accurate, and there were no problems even when His Majesty occasionally secretly inspected them. Not only did they send me the profits from the estate at the right time, but they also took care of me by sending medicinal herbs or gifts whenever there was a rumor that something had happened to me. Even though I have never once praised them.’

‘so.’

‘There are usually two cases like that.’

‘Either it’s sincere or there’s something to hide.’

‘you’re right.’

‘Is that why you and the second child are trying to change appearances? Anyway, there will be no doubt about you in front of me, so I want to see for myself how I treat my second child, not you.’

‘yes. You still need to rest, but I think it would be better for you to come forward to find out whether the people in Whitlin are related to Rashid, whether there is a problem, or whether they have other intentions. Just like Brother Randel said, he will treat me well anyway, whether it is sincere or not.’

‘Then you were planning to go find him by tricking him into thinking that you were the one who suffered in that fight instead of being the second one.’

‘That’s right. It’s like I’m the one who got hurt, not you, so if you lie down pretending to be me, I’ll do my best to pretend to be you.’

‘then. It would be better for you to dress up according to the rumors about me.’

‘You idiot, yes. I don’t really like it, but I think I’ll do it for now. You can’t go over there and find a cat and hold it. ‘I’m going to have a drink after a long time.’

‘…… not.’

‘As I watched my second child. That’s what it says.’

‘That’s… it looks like all three of us have been in and out of the abyss.’

‘I’ve seen it every day and the second one will be familiar. ‘You just have to endure it.’

So like this.

It was the result of not two, but three putting their heads together.

There were many days when things went wrong because of Plantz, who was used to hunting and approached Calian with a low profile and ran after him without knowing what to do. Just like Lucy and Anne’s bird hunting.

So one more person put his head forward.

“I heard that the power of a healer is harmful because you use magic. So, I will call a healer right away, sir.”

Shortly after leaving the moving magic circle, there was an attack by unknown enemies, and Calian, who was dealing with them, was injured. That’s why I hurried to the lord’s castle.

The play created by the minds of three people with such backstories had just begun.

“… I would have told you. There was no need.”

After ‘Calian dressed as Planz’ took ‘Planz dressed as Calian’ to the VIP room of the lord’s castle. Calian’s cold answer was relayed to Navia, the territory manager who was full of worry.

Calian turned around after glancing at Plantz, who was reclining on the bed with black hair and red eyes. And as if there was nothing more to worry about, he walked out of the room and opened his mouth towards Relic.

“Estina. How about it?”

A low voice several times colder than usual Planz.

Reric, who froze to the point of forgetting for a moment that it was Calian’s deliberate imitation, hurriedly answered.

“Now, he is slowly regaining stability. I think he was very surprised by the fight he had to endure after using the movement magic circle.”

“If it looks bad again, send me to a healer.”

“I understand, sir. I will take a close look.”

Since I was dressed as Plantz, I had to ride Plantz’s horse.

So it was good to get on top of Estina, but after doing that, Raven stopped moving. No matter what form Calian had turned into, he recognized it as if he were a ghost and stopped in his tracks. As if he couldn’t possibly allow me to ride another horse, no matter what the circumstances.

So I ended up joining Raven.

Instead, Estina decided to pretend to be sick for a while and use Calian’s words instead. Raven’s temperament, which does not burn others, is a fact known only to those close to Calian.

anyway.

Kalian, who refused to hire a therapist to take care of his ‘little brother’ and told the horse to get a healer who was not even a therapist, kept moving his feet.

The sound of Reric, who was standing behind her, approaches Navia and asks if there is a healer in this territory or nearby. The sound of Kirie, who was assigned to guard Plantz’s room for the time being, closes the door behind her and stands behind her. A Balkan knight quickly follows, asking where Calian will stay. I just pretended to hear the sound of being guided to the room.

* * *

Whitlin’s lordship became busy.

This is why, while greeting Crown Prince Plants and Prince Randel who came in without warning, and approaching to protect the injured Calian, he was rejected by Kyrie and had to provide a place for the rest of the party to stay. Not only did they strengthen security and quietly reorganize the environment inside and outside the Yeongju Castle, but everyone working in the Yeongju Castle even had to change into cleaner clothes, creating an uproar.

In the meantime, we had to prepare a dinner for the royal family, who were each in their own rooms and never came out. We served a separate meal to Calian, who was not in critical condition but seemed to have difficulty moving freely, and carefully prepared a dinner and music that would not offend the tastes of Randel, whose true feelings were unknown, and the Crown Prince, who was famous for being picky.

As a result, time passed quickly.

Before we knew it, the afternoon had passed and it was evening.

– Sweet!

Calian, who had been stuck in the room without moving even a bit since coming here, looked in the mirror for a moment.

One lip that had been lingering in the mirror for a long time lifts slightly.

“It’s like this. I wonder if the scent of Renieri will leave me for the rest of my life.”

It’s a miracle that we can live without silique.

When I looked at it again, I realized that they were very similar.

Even Calian sometimes sees Silike in Planz’s face, and how can he completely forget Renieri when he sees this face every day with his smart brain?

-Tap!

Calian put down the mirror as if taking a short sigh and stood up. Then he closed his light green eyes for a moment, opened them, and opened the door. went out

Because I had to have dinner with Navia, who manages this place on behalf of Kalian, the castle owner.

– Jump and jump.

How long did it take?

Calian’s eyes narrowed slightly as he wiped away the stains on his face and headed to the banquet hall with Reric and the two knights behind him.

– What kind of face did the prince have when he came running in like that, and rumors have already spread throughout the castle?

That’s why Aila’s voice was heard.

Calian, who did not show any expression despite the sudden words, answered.

– Was there a rumor?

– Everyone says that if it weren’t for the horse running, they wouldn’t have known that His Majesty the Crown Prince was alive.

– Looks like I’m following along well. Have you heard anything else?

– I listened to what the outer castle guards said. Originally, they always inspected the forest, so they should have known long ago that the royal carriage entered the forest yesterday and prepared for it, but they said they couldn’t go to the forest for just one day yesterday.

– The reason is.

– It seems that the outer castle guard suddenly changed the defense schedule. So, I heard that the inspection of the forest was postponed for a day because there was a change in the number of garrison personnel.

– Of course it was yesterday.

– That’s right. Of course it was yesterday.

– Is this the person who opened the outer castle gate in the afternoon and came out to greet us?

– yes. A man with hair the color of a ripe mango.

– Take a look at him then.

– I’m following you already. I checked everything, from the places I frequent to the recent events, and there was nothing strange. If anything comes up, I’ll let you know.

– You’re diligent. Ayla.

– You have to be diligent. To finish quickly and rest.

– okay. Don’t forget to travel carefully.

– Don’t worry about me, prince. I’m not good at lying, so be careful not to get caught in that funny play. I do this for a day or two.

– I don’t do this for a day or two, so me too. don’t worry.

– all right.

He said he would personally find out the identity of those who attacked Kalian, and ended the conversation with Aila, who played the role of ‘Callian’s new thief who escaped without asking permission from the crown prince, who had no interest in the identity of the attackers.’ And I kept moving.

Whitlin’s lordship was clearly different from that of Count Eisen Eifrin.

Of course, it was not comparable to the royal palace or the castle of the Duchy of Siegfried, but it was several times larger and more luxurious than the castle of Count Eifrin. The floor made of two-colored marble, the wall pieces that cast beautiful shadows in the magic lantern, the neat streets seen through the thick glass windows, and the vast wheat fields beyond. It was beautiful without lacking anything.

I walked towards that place indifferently.

I walked around as if the beautiful castle was already mine.

– Jump and jump.

I didn’t forget to hide my aura.

I also didn’t forget to make loud footsteps.

There was no need to pay special attention to keeping my back straight and my shoulders straight, as this was something I had always done. However, he lifted his chin a little more than usual, lowered his eyes, completely erased his habitual smile, and did not easily look at anything around him.

Like a silique someday. Like Planz with a silique in front of him. Just like the planz we faced that day in front of the castle gate. I walked like that.

– …… Sweet.

The huge door blocking Calian’s path opens.

A huge table filled with all kinds of food comes into view. Randel is seen standing up, as are several nobles sitting around him.

A place where Kalian, the owner of this place, is not present.

There is silence in the place where only the second older brother, who is more worried about what he says than his younger brother, and the first older brother, who does not pay any attention to his younger brother, are present.

– Jeopuk.

walked in front of them.

I went to the seat at the head of all the tables.

The nobles who had gathered in a hurry lowered their heads. They showed their uncomfortable feelings, as if they had no intention of giving in to the crown prince who was standing here as if they were not afraid.

Calian quietly turned his head and looked at Randel.

OK.

“Bow properly.”

Randel’s voice addressed to the nobles resonated throughout the banquet hall.
