Reborn as the Enemy Prince

Chapter 86. Greed (3)

– I don’t know.

Peas, corn, etc.

I’m already so busy that I’m dying, but what on earth should I do with my immature fiancé who suddenly calls me out and says things like, “This one is withering and pickling, but that one is growing.”

He said he would work in Duke Siegfried’s backyard if he couldn’t raise a dog, but did he really mean to do that?

no.

Who gave me permission to farm in my backyard in the first place?

Anyway, it’s all arbitrary.

– I don’t know?

– yes. I do not know.

Therefore, Demirea, who gave a short answer, raised her head. And while checking to see if my younger brother was hurt at all, he smiled a small smile at Yan, who looked relieved.

Meanwhile, the voice came again.

– I thought you knew everything, Demirea.

low voice.

If you collect all the remaining ashes and pile them in one place, it will make a sound like that. If you tear off a flower that has just bloomed and crush it in one place, will it make that kind of noise?

I heard that after fighting well in Whitlin, he even said hello to Jan. I don’t know what I’ve done so far to make it sound like I’m holding back pain like that.

– I know that corn is not a picky crop.

So this time, instead of just asking where the injury was, I added an answer to that random comment.

Thanks to this, I couldn’t properly hear what Yan, who was standing in front of me, was saying. This was because I had not yet gotten used to the communication ring, so it was difficult to talk together in my heart and out loud.

So, I just continued the conversation with Calian without saying anything. Jan, who saw the light flowing from Dmirea’s ring, asked, ‘Are you the prince?’ When asked, he nodded.

– Corn? It’s not. I heard you’re picky. very.

– If you’re picky, I don’t think you’ll be able to grow up on your own like the prince said.

– That’s strange. Corn, although not as picky as peas, was a bit picky.

okay.

I should have noticed when I heard the word ‘pea’ that I kept hearing from earlier. But Demirea was out of her mind.

We had to collect the bodies scattered throughout Whitlin Lord’s Castle, strengthen the security of the territory, and reassure the people of the territory who must have been extremely surprised by the sudden battle.

This is why Count Navia, who managed Calian’s territory, was arrested. Since the person who managed the estate had lost his position, someone was needed to temporarily take over the position until Navia’s innocence was confirmed or a new lord representative came.

If things had been the same, this would have been left to the other nobles residing in the territory, but what should you do since you are not sure who to trust and who to suspect right now? The ‘lord’s betrothed’, who has been learning and practicing how to manage the duke’s residence and estate from Slayman or Serie for a very long time, should step forward.

I sat there thinking that if I did that, I would be able to take Navia’s authority for a while and that there would be progress in the investigation.

– That’s why I was surprised too.

The recovered bodies were said to be incinerated by Allen himself.

Because there was no way to find it in Xeon. Therefore, there was an endless procession of bodies being transported to a long distance outside the outer walls.

In addition, Arsene sent several more members to support Eila and the wizards who had set out for a nearby territory. Under the command of servants Reric and Den, the inside of the devastated lord’s castle began to be cleaned up, and the Balkan army with Euria and Siona by his side began to clean up. While the crew prepares for further attacks that may follow.

– Actually, I thought corn would require more work than peas even though it is less picky than peas. But before I knew it, he was growing up on his own.

I continued to hear Calian’s story, which I did not know.

Demirea closed her eyes for a moment and massaged her eyebrows before nodding. After that, I continued to think for a while and gave my answer.

– Well done.

no.

I praised him.

– Ah… I didn’t mean to praise you.

– Whatever you do.

Do you know how busy it is here right now? Are you talking about farming out of the blue while fighting? Because I don’t feel like hitting that hard.

Unsure of the end of the situation, I continued speaking, forgetting for a moment that the chain armor I was still wearing seemed unusually heavy.

– Aren’t you good at it? So the corn probably didn’t really grow on its own. The prince must have the credit.

– is it. Is it okay for me to think I did a good job too?

– Anything.

– Yes, Demirea. I will do that.

– yes.

– Thank you, fiancé. You must be busy with the work of acting as a representative for the lord.

– …How did you know that?

– that?

– I haven’t told you yet that I’m acting for Lord Whitlin.

-Who will you entrust that to? It’s my territory.

It’s really amazing.

Dmirea shook her head and smiled briefly after tasting the tea Jan brought her. Jan, who had not said anything else because he knew he was talking to Kalian, opened his mouth without realizing it.

“Isn’t it delicious again?”

“It’s still better than last time.”

“okay?”

“Yes. I’m feeling better.”

You know that means it still doesn’t taste good.

Nevertheless, Dmirea, who was following Yan as he went out with a proud look on his face, spoke to Calian.

– Anyway, don’t worry about this matter and treat your injuries well.

– How did you know I was hurt?

– I thought you were someone who didn’t know you were sick, but I guess that’s not the case.

– Is it noticeable? From the voice?

– yes. It flies.

– You or Jan. You’re really good at looking out for people.

-Are you saying that from someone who clearly knows what I’m going to do?

– Oh, does that happen?

– That’s how it goes. So why did you get hurt again this time?

– To keep the peas from withering.

The teacup I was lifting once more paused for a moment. Calian continued, whether he knew it or not.

– I was stabbed by Danu. It’s not serious.

– … How can I hear that you were attacked by Danu while trying to prevent peas from withering?

– ah. yes.

The sound of laughter is heard.

– It’s about my brother. Danu took my brother. While I was at Whitlin. So I had a brief fight to get my brother out.

Ah, this person. really.

Only then did I understand the unexpected story about farming.

To be precise, I now understand what the light green one of the two grains was talking about. After that, I naturally wondered what the remaining thing that had grown so quickly was.

A pea is a pea because of its light green eyes, and a corn is a corn because of its golden hair. But one nickname resembles eyes and the other resembles hair. Even in coming up with just two nicknames, there is no uniformity. Anyway, he is a person who is not meticulous about anything.

– Prince.

– huh. Demirea.

The rough hand that put down the teacup moved towards the round forehead. Demirea said, frowning as she cupped her smooth forehead, which was completely different from her palm.

– Only the royal family can be excused from insulting the royal family. It doesn’t apply to me.

I now realize that I had unknowingly made fun of the royal family by saying things like corn is not picky. Thanks to this, I can hear laughter once again at the sound of laughter.

– Should I take you there? He’s my fiancé.

– so. Are you having a fight with Danu?

When I asked a question as if I was turning the words around, the answer came back.

– Rather than fighting… I lost my temper.

– That’s right. But is there any reason for Danu to kidnap Crown Prince Plants?

– Danu thinks differently from us. In the meantime, I guess I was greedy for what I couldn’t have. Anyway, my brother is very smart.

Demirea took her hand away from her forehead and let out a short sigh.

Meanwhile, Calian continued speaking.

– My fiancé is not greedy at all even though I am that pretty. right.

– yes.

– Actually, even if I were such a handsome person, I wouldn’t be coveted at all. Right.

– yes.

Oh, I’m sad. do.

A slightly louder smile echoes in my head.

Smile or not.

Demirea, who had a history with Calian’s jokes, asked.

– Is everyone safe? Or should I ask Lord Manasil for a favor?

– no. It’s okay now.

– Fortunately, the. still.

– huh. Thank goodness. My brother came out on his own. Otherwise, there would have been at least one more hole in my body.

A doubt appeared on Demirea’s face.

* * *

It was said that it was increasing urgently.

So, when it starts raining, avoid it at all costs. If you delay for a moment to monitor the situation, the rising water will soon wrap around your legs and pull you in. That’s what I said.

‘When it rained like this, we would be stranded for days. When the rain stops and the valley water becomes calm, it rains again. Then you’ll be stranded again.’

A brown-haired wizard who hates green peppers who went to his hometown for a month on regular vacation. I remembered the words of the wizard named Hamilla Lasca.

‘So in my hometown, when it rains, we always store things like this at home to survive the day, Vice Commander.’

He said this as he brought me beautifully packaged food that resembled the biscuits I often ate at the palace, but was very different in color and texture.

A rustic-tasting biscuit that does not use milk or butter.

It is said that dried grain powder is mixed with water, kneaded, dried again, and then roasted over a fire. I was told that it would not spoil for a very long time even without preservation magic.

This may be because they noticed that their younger deputy commanders were looking longer at the strange and unfamiliar food that members sometimes picked up and ate while carrying around in their hands, rather than the fancy and precious food.

‘It may not suit your taste. ‘But if you drink it with tea or coffee,’

‘That’s right.’

‘that’s right. Does it fit your mouth?’

‘delicious.’

‘Oh, that’s a relief. Actually, my younger brothers made it themselves using the corn they farmed last year. Not you. If the Vice Commander enjoyed the food, my younger brothers will really enjoy it.’

‘Do you have a younger brother?’

‘There are two. I am the first, Vice Commander.’

‘…I will eat well.’

‘yes. I will definitely tell you this. thank you!’

– Shoot… Shoot!

A louder sound of water could be heard beyond the large rock overhead. Although it did not increase in an instant like the story I heard that day, the water in the valley, which had increased significantly compared to before, flowed down endlessly.

The sound of water rushing between rocks and the sound of heavy rain pouring down on it. Through those sounds, I could taste the taste of corn biscuits. Although I didn’t have anything in my mouth at this moment, thanks to my good mind that recalled all the sensations contained in a single memory, it was like eating that day’s corn biscuit again.

“Are you sure you don’t mind?”

“You’ve improved a lot. It’s okay.”

As I was looking at the raindrops continuously flowing down the rock and the cloudy valley water a little further away, I heard two people’s voices.

“The forest passage is not far away.”

“Yes. I know.”

“Wouldn’t it be better to go back to the elf city now and rest in peace?”

“Why suffer in the rain when you can see everything? I hate getting caught in the rain. Raven probably hates it too.”

“Still… the wound is not small.”

“This is enough to get better in a day. I have to go back after I’m better. Besides, how can I get back across the valley through that rain? I have horses.”

“You can leave it loose around here for a day or two. “If it’s just people, it’s easy enough to cross.”

“Rainy valleys are dangerous. Anyway, don’t worry. Because it’s really okay.”

Kyrie’s sigh replaced the answer.

Calian, who heard the sound, continued,

“If you thought it wouldn’t be okay, why would you put up with it when Brother Randel is there too? I say it’s okay because it’s okay. I have three lives and four more, so why should I be stubborn about that?” ”

… Are you sure it’s okay?”

“It’s okay. Really.”

My head automatically turns to the conversation about a topic as dry and hard as a corn biscuit. The light green gaze moved inward from beyond the rock ceiling and landed on the hand that was tapping Kirie’s shoulder. Kiriena Demirea’s hand

. It is different

from the previous one. There were just as many scars as the two, but each one of them was darker than the other two. It was deeper and much worse. There were so many scars that had spread and festered and become wider and more bumpy. This means that no medicine was ever used, let alone healed

.

Since he was a king, not a commoner or a noble, there was no way he could not have gotten medicine. So it wasn’t that he couldn’t use the medicine, but rather the scars that got worse because he didn’t use it. “If that doesn’t work, I’ll ask Brother Randel.” “If you

please

. Who said they would listen?”

“Brother Randel, you won’t treat me?”

“You never know. “I also know that my time is a waste.” “

As I was coming, I saw a yellow Nelopia reacting to a black stone. Are you going to fix the flower and not me?”

“Is that a name?”

“That’s a name. Anyway, about me.”

“It looks like you’ve already regained your health.”

“Wow… I’m sick. I’m in a lot of pain. You treated my brother, but you won’t treat me? I feel sad if you discriminate against me because I am the youngest. No matter how close the two of you are, I am also Randel’s younger brother, and I only care about you so much and only me…” “If you

need anything, just tell me. I’ll treat you.”

“Yes.”

…… My little brother really barks everywhere.

He barks from time to time, with scars on his hands and all, so I wonder if there’s any time to think sentimental thoughts about him. I

can’t stand the birds for that moment. Calian, who barked and grinned, turned his head towards Kyrie. Then, as if to end the conversation he had been having with Kyrie just a moment ago, he said,

“And the elf city is really noisy right now. I feel comfortable here.”

Calian said this and turned his eyes. He then opened his mouth to Planz, who was looking at his rough hands, which were very different from his usual white and beautiful hands. “Right.” ”

What

.”

“It’s noisy. ”

“Where are you going?”

“… Brother, have you heard what I’ve been saying all this time?”

“I didn’t.”

“I’m lying.”

“Speaking informally. All these days.”

“Yo.”

“Why is the city of elves so noisy?”

“Arnaizel is here.”

“… Do you mean the sea dragon?”

“Yes. “My brother called me.”

“My brother called me.”

“My brother told me to.”

“Whatever.”

“Anyway. Anyway, that’s why I came, Arnaizel.”

Anyway,

that’s why. What race’s language is that?

Calian’s loyal Takari had these words in his eyes.

* * *

Before entering under the rocky roof after the rain fell

. Before boasting about the corn.

Danu personally opened the door to the space where the plants were kept, and Calian, who walked out from between them and took out the plants well, before leaving the leisurely city of elves. – Why does it take so long to dig up a single tree

? Are you going to get caught?

– Brother.

– Why.

– Brother, do well on the test.

Calian asked Planz, who was thinking that staying in a confined space alone was becoming difficult, something strange.

– What kind of test.

– It was like a test given by teachers who came to the palace. –

I’ve never seen it.

– You said you didn’t see it.

– Yes.

– I took the test for all the things I learned with you, but you said you didn’t take it. – I

didn’t take it

. – Why?

– Is there a need for it?

– I need it because I got it all right anyway. Wasn’t there?

– Yes.

– …… Ah.

– Why.

– Brother, if you go somewhere and say something like that, it’s unlucky, it’s annoying, it’s lacking in humanity, it makes others feel ashamed, it feels distant, etc. It’s perfect to hear you say that. Don’t say that to other people. Don’t recommend playing chess without a chessboard to others. You already get a lot of criticism, so there’s no need to increase it. – …… I think I increased it. Just now. – No

way

.

It was a conversation with his younger brother that would suddenly stray far from the topic at a moment of near miss. So Planz, who had come to his senses, asked first before hearing another word. – Why. – What is it? – Test. –

Ah

.

Everything

. Someone said they were going to test me, but I was worried about what to do

. – What kind of test and why would

Danu do it? – I made various demands to Danu, even to get my brother out.

– By the way.

– But no matter what happens in the future, you will do it. He said he could find it and stop it. My brother said to Danu:

– I did.

– So

– If my brother takes me out on his own. At that time, they said they would help them however they want.

– Anyway, my brother is so smart.

Things I wanted to know from Danu, an apology to Kairis, future non-interference, and even a request to take out Planz. I had requested everything from Danu. Then Danu came up with a ridiculous compromise.

‘Try to solve it yourself. ‘Then I will listen to you.’

Immediately after that, Kalian acted out once more.

Cain Tesman, who was well nicknamed the Orange-Haired Wizard not only because of his color but also because of his round hair style, created a truly gigantic explosion while recalling the ‘how to light a crystal’ he had learned from him.

– So what is your brother doing now?

– He is abusive.

As soon as he started the fire, he went on a rampage by throwing away the branches of Danu that were rushing towards him at an incredible speed.

I chatted appropriately with the smart pea, who would never know if he would suddenly smell the perfume of the day again if he continued to be alone.

– You won’t be able to defeat Danu.

– of course. How do I defeat Danu? Even Master can’t win.

– Then call me.

– My father is busy right now. And just because he’s a teacher doesn’t mean he can beat Danu.

– not. That whale.

– Whale… Are you talking about Arnaizel?

– okay.

– That fish is not light enough to come just because I call it.

– Still, you think that the sea dragon must protect the axis of time.

– yes. I don’t know why, but it seems like I’m sensitive to the axis energy.

– Danu won’t be able to use the axis piece.

– yes. Sometimes you can’t write, sometimes you don’t. Anyway, Danu is also trying to prevent that from happening.

– Then give it to me. To Danu.

– If you give it away…

the axis of time will be handed over to Danu.

Arnaizel showed a sensitive reaction even to the fact that a mere human possessed it. But if Danu has it.

– You won’t like it. Arnaizel.

– …… What if Sispanian, other than Arneizel, doesn’t like it? If you come here right now and destroy the elven city like Narzan said.

You will hate it a lot.

However, that didn’t mean I was truly worried. I thought it wouldn’t matter even if Danu tried to abuse the power of the piece.

If something like that happens, Sispanian, who will really hate it, will take care of it. If the short-talking person’s short-talking descendant was in such a big crisis and didn’t come and say I don’t know about it, then if a problem arises, Sispanian should solve it. No problem.

-Whoever comes. Whatever breaks.

Pea, who thought the same thing, sent me these words.

– I’m going out.

What is the level of testing?

Whatever it is, all you have to do is come up with an answer.

– That’s right. You don’t have any solution. Who taught it?

– Isn’t this enough to learn it well?

Calian, who felt the excitement again of the time when he had safely rolled down from the rock cliff, nodded with a truly wonderful smile.

– yes.

I poured in mana once again.

I poured everything into it.

I read the protective mana surrounding Danu and let the mana flow. I injected my power into it and induced a backlash. A small part of the shield did not function properly and created a gap.

After that, he swung his brilliant red sword towards Danu’s trunk that was revealed through a gap in the protective shield. I stabbed that bloody sword at the uncontrollable greed that grabbed hold of the fruit I had not yet borne and would not let go.

– Quaaaaaaaaaa!

The forest shakes once more.

Kalyan’s sword gets stuck in Danu’s stem once again.

A scratch that heals quickly. A small stain worse than a chafing wound. created it And in it

– … Tuk!

I put in the piece of the axis of time that Sispanian was looking for.

– …… Ku-gu-gung… Ku-gu-gung…

There is an uneasy vibration.

An unusual light shines.

And not for long.

-Why are you letting go of that?

Coming out of the Great Sea, into the Great Desert, to the Forest of Kairis located in the middle of it, to the trunk of Danu placed there.

The voice of a young sea dragon was immediately heard.

I saw a pea slowly walking out among the dazzling clouds of light.

I don’t know what Arnaizel is or what it is.

‘Thank you for your hard work.’

I took the peas first.

That’s how I brought it out.

“…That’s how it happened.”

Calian grinned as he told the story of what happened so far.

Kirie, who listened to the entire explanation through the rain, opened her mouth slightly without saying a word.

He probably wanted to swear.
