Reborn as the Enemy Prince

Chapter 86. Greed (4)

Forest near Siegfried Territory.

The forest, which had a passage leading to the city of elves, was so large that it would take several days just to traverse it by walking.

Because it was so large, there were times when it rained on one side of the forest while the weather on the other side was clear.

But that situation never lasted for long. Unless the rain stops, rain clouds will eventually move wherever the wind takes them.

– Shoot…!

But this time was different.

It rained only near the deepest part of the forest, where the passage to the elf city was located. Because of this, it rained in a valley not far from the passage, but it didn’t stop there. Elsewhere it was very sunny. And that situation lasted for a long time.

If anyone had known that such a situation had been going on for a long time, they would have thought it was very strange, but no one here was like that.

Because it was a very deserted place, there were only four people in the forest right now. That’s because they were the only four people huddled together under the rock roof, unable to walk towards the clear side, stranded by the pouring rain that made them wonder if there was a hole in the sky.

Because the sky visible outside the roof of the cave was obscured by tall, dense trees, the only area visible was the size of the palm of one’s hand, so it would have been impossible for anyone to have noticed that other areas were clear.

– Sispanian is watching, Biadhanur.

However, that did not mean that I was unaware of encounters like natural disasters occurring across the forest passage. There was no way they could not have known that this was a situation they had created with their own hands.

Of course, there were minor issues that I didn’t pay any attention to or worry about.

-Why did you come to see me?

– I came because of an item given to you by Sispanian’s favorite human. I’m here to get it back.

So, just as the people who made this happen were calmly waiting for the rain to stop, the conversation between them started as if it were a natural disaster.

– I stopped a Sispanian from entering my territory. I came instead. But when I’m on the ground, it rains. Sispanian said that trees get sick when it rains a lot. So give it back quickly. Otherwise the Sispanians might come.

The forest near Siegfried Territory is Sispanian territory.

Therefore, the place where the source and stem of Danu is located is also the home of the Sispanians. Moreover, the seaside area facing the ocean where the elf city was located was Arnaizel’s territory.

It is true that Danu placed his origins in the Sispanian realm and his children’s cities in the Arnaizel realm. Even elves who have left the city are continuing their lives in the forests here and there in Kairis.

The mother tree and her children, who were once called the foundation of all earth, are now living in the realm of two dragons and humans, without anything of their own.

– Did Sispanian say he would move again?

– Cispanians can move anywhere at any time. It’s different from you.

– not different. I too am not in bondage. My will can go anywhere and I can do anything.

– I’m tied up. It has roots. You can come and go and do things where Sispanian and I can see each other. Don’t carelessly compare yourself to Cispanians.

Of course, originally there was also Danu’s domain.

Most of the vast territory that people call the ‘Great Northern Desert’ originally belonged to the Danu. It was a beautiful place that was always green and fertile, but it was completely destroyed and lifeless during the Yangsin War.

But in fact, the number of dragons that value their territory so much is very small, isn’t it? So, if Danu were to look for it, there would be plenty of places he could use as his territory.

Nevertheless, the reason Danu gave up everything and found a home in the arms of two dragons

– the adult dragons respect Sispanians. Adult dragons hate you. Young dragons like me were born when there was no reason to hate you, but that’s not the case with other dragons who have lived longer than me. It may not be as good as Cylestian, but they are all similar. Sispanian said you shouldn’t forget that.

Adults of the dragon race.

In particular, the relationship between Silestian, the dragon of the great desert, and Danu was extremely bad.

Therefore, long after the War of the Two Gods ended, Sispanian asked the young sea dragon Arnaizel of the Great Sea to protect Danu on his behalf, as he had to be away for a long time for some reason. Therefore, the city of the elves was also moved to the vicinity of the Great Sea.

Narzan, the elder of the elves, knew that Danu built a city spanning two territories solely based on the relationship between the elves and Kyris, but the more fundamental reason was ‘protection’. In order for someone to touch Danu, they must go through not only Sispanian but also Arnaizel’s territory, so that Danu can be protected even without Sispanian.

That way, Danu and the land of Kairis where Danu was staying will not be in danger at the hands of the Celestians who do not think twice.

– I don’t know the reason for the hatred. It was me he hated, but in the end, it wasn’t me.

– Sispanian said that you who were destroyed during the War of the Two Gods were ultimately you too. He said that he understands wanting to believe that it was not a crime he personally committed, but that he cannot understand his denial.

– Then, do you follow everything Sispanian says?

– huh.

– why.

– Because he’s Sispanian.

– I don’t even know the reason for that belief. I wanted to know, but I don’t know.

– So you attacked the Sispanian children because you hated the Sispanian who saved you and the elves?

– I don’t hate it. I feel grateful. I just want to know the reason for the hatred towards me. And it wasn’t me who took the lead in the attack.

it is raining.

A young sea dragon, which has not yet been able to control the energy of the rain in its body, steps on the land, so it rains. In the city south of the Great Desert and deep in the forest of Kairis, where the entrance to the city is located.

Arnaizel, standing in front of the huge tree, leaving behind the elves who couldn’t even dare to come close through the pouring rain, raised his head.

– I got scolded by Sispanian, Danu. Sispanian met his favorite human in the sea, but he got scolded because I left him instead of bringing him up to the sea. Humans can’t breathe underwater, I forgot.

Transparent and beautiful trees filled the red and black eyes.

– I had no intention of attacking Sispanian’s beloved human. I like that person. It was fun. Still, I got scolded by Sispanian. He said something big would almost happen because of me. So I apologized to that person.

– The intention is unknown.

– You did something wrong. It’s not necessarily your fault if you attack first. I also heard you and that human talking. Humans cannot be arbitrarily greedy for what they cherish. That’s why humans are angry. It’s your fault.

Danu gave no other answer.

Arnaizel continued speaking.

– You too should apologize like me, Danu.

– Was I wrong?

– huh.

– Is that also the meaning of Sispanian?

– no. That’s my opinion. But Sispanians probably think the same. All other humans will think the same way. Your children will too.

– That’s right.

– huh. So you apologize too.

Danu was silent for a moment, but a gentle breeze blew in his face.

Danu, who dried himself with the wind he created himself, gave the answer.

– I’ll do that.

– Yep. Good Danu.

Arnaizel smiled brightly and nodded.

Then he stretched out his hand and spread it out, saying:

– Give that thing back too. If it rains more, Sispanian might get scolded again.

– This is Sispanian’s.

– huh. that’s right.

– then.

Arnaizel opened his eyes wide.

Danu calmly gave his answer.

– I will return it to Sispanian.

It meant meeting Sispanian.

Arnaizel pursed his lips and frowned slightly.

* * *

Rains in the forest were often sudden and short.

Of course, there were a few days when it rained, but that time had not yet arrived. So, I was hoping for a while that the rain would stop before long.

“It’s falling more and more. How long will it last?”

Rather than stopping or decreasing, the amount of rain was increasing as time went by.

– Shoot…!

Now that the sound of rainwater hitting the leaves and dirt is louder than the sound of the water in the valley, what else can I say?

“Aren’t you cold?”

“It is done.”

“It’s not cold.”

“Yes. You are Kirie.”

“I am okay.”

There is a quiet knight whose talent is worthy of being considered a genius, and there is a short-spoken crown prince who is good at swordsmanship and magic, but clearly cannot measure up to the level of intelligence. There is one silent prince that no one can follow. and.

“you.”

“I don’t get cold. My body is as good as my abilities are.”

“…… not.”

“I’ve improved a lot. As my body is in good shape, my recovery is also good.”

“Ha……”

A sword master, a wizard, and a cat that barks and bites. I don’t know if it’s because he has so many concurrent positions, but there is one prince from the royal family who is always loud, as if there was a law prohibiting him from speaking to others.

The four of them were sitting around the fire, which looked like it would be nice to grill some meat under the rock roof, and were taking care of each other.

– Tuk Toduk!

Meanwhile, water droplets flowed down the rock ceiling. Knock knock knock. It struck Planz’s green head.

Since it was raining like that, the water droplets were already falling. However, since he had never landed so precisely on the top of someone’s head like this, Planz raised his head with his eyebrows furrowed. And then he tried to hit his younger brother, who obviously had nothing to be offended by in this world other than the salad in front of the meat plate.

It was obvious that he would keep barking at me, asking me if I should water the peas and saying that they wouldn’t wilt anymore, and telling me to be careful because the peas would get soft.

– Whaaah!

However, Plantz’s prediction was wrong.

Calian, who is good at making actions that are difficult to guess even with the clever Planz calculations, only sent cleans instead of teasing him a lot. Then, he looked up at the ceiling and created a huge shield that opened only the entrance toward the valley, blocking the space between the rest of the walls and the ceiling.

This was done to prevent rainwater from seeping into the area where the group was.

After that, as if he had never talked, barked or moved, he leaned back on the front legs of Raven, one of the four horses that had come under the rock roof, and quietly closed his eyes.

The reason is obvious.

It hurts to say more. My injured shoulder.

“…… under.”

You damn bastard.

Plantz swallowed back his curse and looked over the rock roof. Fortunately, it was no longer wet, but the fishy smell was still emanating from my younger brother’s shoulder, and it was to avoid looking at the face of the person living upstairs who was not even paying attention to my younger brother or my younger brother’s shoulder.

‘I have to wait until the rain stops anyway, and there’s nothing else to do until then, so why waste my healing power?’

If Randel wants to cure Calian, he has to sacrifice his life again. It wasn’t a wound that would immediately put his life at risk, and he couldn’t do anything until the rain stopped anyway. Even if he did fix it, he thought it would be better to fix it after the wound had healed more on its own, so it wouldn’t take up less of Randel’s time.

It’s an excuse.

It’s a blatant lie.

Even if one more wound, which can be considered a minor wound compared to Plantz, who was hit by the harpy’s poison, is healed, Randel will not suffer much loss. I don’t know if those few minutes will really matter a few decades from now, but there’s no way Randel would waste that time right now, right?

This is a person who would not even hesitate to give his life to a single wild flower he encountered while passing by.

‘It must be hard to stay outside all the time, so please get some rest. Because I’m fine.’

‘But if you can, just tell me.’

‘yes. ‘I will do so.’

Still, you insist.

I know why it’s like that.

That’s why Kirie and even Randel are no longer mentioning treatment. No, I can’t mention it. Plantz also knows the reason why he curses.

Although his immediate appearance was different, that guy with light purple eyes and blue-silver hair was definitely Calian. Isn’t this something you will think about after healing Calian’s minor wounds?

‘It’s going to rain starting today.’

The red rose from Chermil Palace that was once saved.

The child who should have looked straight at the child from the beginning, instead of deceiving oneself by trying to save the rose, the child who was in more pain than the rose, so the child should have looked straight ahead and tried to save the child instead of trying to save the rose.

‘I hate rainy days. I don’t like getting hit and I don’t like seeing people get off. Are you like that too?’

The youngest brother from a long time ago, not now.

After fixing the wound on that shoulder as if it was nothing, you can’t help but think about the deeper wound on that child that should have been fixed as if it were nothing.

– You’re too greedy.

So I couldn’t hold back any longer and spoke.

I turned my gaze away from Randel, who was leaning against the wall of the shield, with his eyes closed with a face similar to Calian’s, and Kyrie, who was silently looking into the bonfire. Also, towards Calian, who was patiently holding back, letting his long, unruly hair sweep across the floor.

– I originally had a lot of greed. To the point where it’s too much.

Calian, who was neither surprised nor squinted at the sudden voice, sent a low whisper.

– Why are you doing this again when you don’t even know?

– It’s not something you have to endure and take care of. That’s up to you and me, but why?

-…… Do you share your share of what you did well?

The changed tone immediately returns.

– It’s a different problem from you living as that child and blaming me and your brother. That’s something my brother and I can handle. The older brother who treated you… Kalyan. Whether you think of it or not. Treating the injured area first

– why?

-Why?

-Why do you endure that?

– or not. I guess you think it’s right for you to endure it even though you didn’t commit it.

– The one who holds back is Planz.

Instead of continuing the afterword, the magic moves.

I could see the sensitive Raven perking up her ears. Randel and Kyrie turned their heads to look at Calian, and Plantz, who was originally facing Calian, only hardened his eyes.

Long hair that used to touch the ground shrinks.

The blue-silver light that gradually rose like the tail of a star gradually turned black. The shoulders that were leaning on Raven narrowed, and the scars all over my hands disappeared.

As the corners of my fiercely sharpened eyes lowered, a bright red light that would never fade took its place, replacing the moonlight-like eyes found in the fog.

I wake up to the overwhelming smell of blood.

Plantz, who felt that, frowned.

-What are you doing?

Calian shrugged his shoulders as if it was no big deal and moved his left arm. Then he took off his baggy black jacket and handed it to Kirie.

“Kiri. I need some clothes.”

“Yes, my prince.”

Kirie, who took it without a word, stood up and took out a smaller, more luxurious, but still black jacket from Raven’s saddle bag. After that, Kalian, who decided not to change the shirt that was torn near the shoulders, helped him put on a new jacket over it.

in between.

A low voice, like the moon, that did not match his current appearance at all, came into Plantz’s head.

– Being patient is something an adult should do. Just pass it on.

By simply returning to Calian’s form, Calian grinned, showing his true meaning, ‘If you were planning on telling Brother Randel to fix me by force, waking up, you young bastard.’

– You just have to keep growing. It doesn’t wilt and grows quickly. When you grow up and have room left, there is no room to grow anymore, and when you become too bored to bear it, then hold on.

The cat, who was too greedy and wanted to bear the burden of all the mistakes my brothers had done to me while living as Kalian, closed his eyes again.

Should I be annoyed?

Should I say thank you?

Because I don’t know.

– Crazy bastard.

-Are you saying something new?

A thin voice sounded like a hum.

-Whose younger brother is this? I am.

Like really humming.

Planz, who was looking at Calian with frowning eyes because the sight was so scary, eventually added a word.

– He looked at me and said I was unlucky and annoyed. Did you take after my younger brother?

– Are you unlucky and annoying too?

– …… little.

Meanwhile, there aren’t many.

Calian, suppressing laughter, responded.

– no. It’s because he looks more like Devlan than his older brother. Obviously, I am in a key position, but I wonder if I will take after you. Even though they look alike, they resemble Devlan.

The intention is not to lose even if it means bringing in Devlan.

Plantz, dumbfounded, tries to say something again.

– …… Sigh.

Calian, who was leaning against Raven, quietly straightened his back. Then he immediately stood up.

The horses that were said to be more sensitive than humans when it comes to danger started to move little by little. Raven raised her head and Iris listened.

That’s when Planz, who saw this, grabbed his sword and stood up to follow.

“Brother Randel.”

Calian summoned Randel.

Randel, seeing the wide smile on his face, opened his mouth.

“Do you need treatment?”

“Yes. I guess… it looks like Sispanian is here.”

Landel took a deep breath and nodded.

Calian, who had erased his smile because his stubbornness was worthless and had to talk about treatment, smiled softly again.

“Please fix it this time.”

And like this.

He added a request to Randel.

Please fix it this time.
