Reborn as the Enemy Prince
Chapter 123

Chapter 23. If that day comes, (2)

is gone.

I was clearly in the room, but Plants disappeared.

As the guard knights outside heard him, Plantz’s servant Reric, who was not very surprised and was fidgeting, suddenly made a gasping sound. This is why Planz appeared outside the terrace.

“Where are you going, prince?”

Relic, who spoke like this, had a very confused expression on his face.

If you had come in through the door, it would be right to say that you have been there.

If so, I would have added that you had a good trip.

Because of these thoughts, I began to worry about whether it would be okay to ask where I had been.

“what.”

And Plantz answered:

It seems like it’s asking what’s going on, and it’s also like asking what’s wrong, and it also seems like it’s asking what you saw.

“No, prince.”

Whatever the exact meaning, that nonchalant response probably means that you should just act as if nothing happened. Reric, who understood Plantz’s brief words with his skillful insight, shook his head and said.

“why.”

Plantz, who only nodded slightly, asked.

At times like this, I don’t know how much I envy Jan, who serves the kind three princes. Still, Planz is better than the 1st Prince, who is always cold. Relic, who consoled himself with such thoughts, opened his mouth.

“I was going to ask you what to do for lunch.”

“it’s okay.”

Plantz did not prepare his meals on time.

I was about to say something of concern to him when Plantz ambled over and opened the door. Then he moved his feet as if he didn’t care whether the knights followed or not.

You don’t have to go up to the terrace from somewhere downstairs, get to your room, and then go out through the door. Relic, with a confused look on his face again, quickly followed behind Plants.

* * *

There was another visit from an unexpected guest.

This happened after the cat that fell from the sky and the person who lived above the cat’s owner visited.

Plantz, who had finished speaking a little while ago, stepped on the terrace railing and climbed back up with light movements. Then the cat came out of the door.

“I really like it more.”

Is it because of his personality or his name?

Merlin came in before I had time to feel disappointed at the cat who really preferred Planz. There were two cups of tea in my hands. I wonder if one of them was Jan’s.

By the way, Plantz came and talked with Jan after he left, so it was quite a while before he brought the car. However, it is not Jan who enters the room, but Merlin.

“Where did Jan go?”

“I thought I should bring Sir Arsene over quickly, so I left the car with me and went to Wilhelm’s coffin. The prince was frustrated, so I thought I should at least give him someone to talk to.”

“Ah… I don’t think there’s any need to do that.”

Merlin, who saw Calian feeling somewhat sorry, quickly said the following.

“Hina went out with Kirie a little while ago. I told her to tell you when she gets back.”

Although we promised to let Sia and Hina meet, it was delayed. That’s why I finally rescheduled the appointment and sent the two away.

Soon, Merlin looked at the car in his hands and opened his mouth.

“And Count Manasil is outside.”

When Kalian heard those words, a look of joy filled his eyes. Merlin laughed quietly at that sight, put down the tea on the table, said a light hello, and went out. After that, the door opened again and Alan came in.

“Master!”

Calian’s voice was very excited.

Because Alan, who I thought I would never meet until the day was filled, came.

Because of this, Kalian laughed brightly again.

Of course, like last time, it wasn’t because there was any other purpose, but because I was really happy to see it. Alan saw that and responded with a soft smile.

“If you don’t like being forcibly tied up in a room, please treat yourself more carefully from now on. Don’t even think about cutting down those friends outside. They are sent by His Majesty.”

Then, he gave Kalyan a warning as if he had seen through his mind.

“Oh, I was already counting the days to ask you to spar in two or three days. I won’t.”

“You can’t even hit me.”

“… Yes. I will try my best.”

“I’m glad. You said you would at least try.”

Alan, who probably knew best in the world how bad Calian was at lying, nodded with satisfaction. And then I started sipping the sweet milk tea that Merlin had put down.

In all this time, Alan had never sat down and drank tea for such a long time. Therefore, Calian asked with a slightly anxious look on his face.

“Is this something difficult to bring up?”

Not only was it not possible to go out of the palace, he was locked in his room, and there were two locks on the door that he didn’t know were guards or guards, but he was also worried about what kind of punishment there might be.

Alan said that by wasting time, he was creating unnecessary anxiety.

“It’s not like that. Don’t worry.”

Because I was somehow embarrassed to say that I just liked the milk tea, Alan smiled mischievously and took care of business.

“Congratulations. You have already found a fiancé.”

After saying that, Alan poured down his milk tea once again. Meanwhile, Calian, who understood what Alan meant, asked.

“Are you by any chance referring to Demirea?”

“That’s right. They have nothing to do and their mouths are full, so there’s a lot to be said.”

Calian burst out laughing when he realized that an unintentional rumor had started between him and Dmirea.

“It’s a waste of effort.”

It seems that he didn’t understand Alan’s words quickly for no reason.

“If there wasn’t a rumor, it sounds like you were thinking about starting a rumor.”

“Yes. That’s what I thought. Actually, it’s the timing, isn’t it? The Marquis of Briesen will try to repay this incident in some way, but in order to put an end to it, a bigger rumor needs to be made.”

After saying that, Kalian took a sip of milk tea at the same time as Alan. I could definitely feel the sweet taste that fit the sweet rumor.

“Still, if it’s okay with Demirea, I was thinking about borrowing Siegfried’s name one more time.”

“I don’t know if the Little Duke will be happy about this.”

“You’ll love it.”

“Why do you look at me like that?”

Calian, who was thinking about Dmirea, who was perfect to become Siegfried’s future master, continued.

“Demirea came to the capital and attended the ball with me. Wouldn’t this make the nobles think that Siegfried is now interested in politics? If so, there will be a line of people trying to somehow connect the Duke with his children. “It would appear, but Demirea would not welcome such a thing.”

So, Calian was thinking about asking if it would be a good idea to raise rumors of an ‘engaged marriage’ between the two in order to calm down the rumors about him and Dmirea to escape the attention that was flooding into Dmirea University.

“If it’s okay with Demirea, I don’t want to explain, but what does your highness say you will do?”

“I was expecting to be confused and surprised, but the fun was gone. How can you say so calmly that you will take advantage of a rumor that may have the national marriage at stake?”

Alan grumbled like this, his face immediately losing its amusement.

“Stop acting like that. You don’t look your age.”

Hearing those words, Calian’s head jerked upward. Because I was speaking while looking up at the ceiling, my voice came out as a bit of a mumble.

“There are two more people like that in Chermil. One on the 4th and 5th floors of this building.”

Especially the person who lives on the 4th floor.

When I asked him to raise a cat, he said he would take over the royal knighthood.

…… What about me?

“And there is one at Siegfried Manor. As soon as Demirea is first asked whether she has a fiancé, she will think of me.”

Whether it was the cost of the shield erected this time or the cost of the bananas given away. It was obvious that they would ask him to give up Calian’s name in return.

“That is something that is truly curious.”

Alan let out a short laugh and said:

“Your Majesty’s sons and the daughters of Slayman and others are completely out of the ordinary. I wonder if this can be called amazing.”

Veronica, the granddaughter of genius wizard Allan Manasil, was a very ordinary girl and wizard. Since none of the children resemble their parents, how can we say this is not surprising?

“Anyway, Your Majesty said it would be better to leave it as is, so you know that.”

“Oh, you already said that. That’s good.”

“Yes. And…”

Alan, who had one more thing to say, manifested Silent and continued.

“Your Highness has permitted Count Eifrin to stay with the Knights.”

“Ah, then it just so happened to be good.”

Calian made a meaningful face.

“What do you mean it went well again?”

To Allen, who was looking at him in puzzlement, Calian relayed the conversation he had with Planz a little while ago.

“Did Prince Planz say he would step forward like that?”

“Yes. It’s surprising that he’s more active than I thought.”

“It wouldn’t be bad. After something like that, you might need to focus your attention on other things.”

It was a story about Silike’s work.

Since we continue to live in the palace where the incident took place, shouldn’t we look elsewhere?

“Yes. As you said, it’s not a bad thing. Anyway, I will let the Count’s knights into the capital little by little as the day allows. To do that, I will have to meet Demirea once today.”

“Are you saying you won’t delay even a day?”

“There’s no reason to delay. It’s a waste of time.”

It wasn’t a cut from cutting carrots.

Calian really almost died. His face was still pale. Nevertheless, there was no rest.

Calian was overworking himself to the extent that he said it was a waste of time.

– Sweet.

Alan, who was staring at the teacup he had just put down, opened his mouth.

“Prince.”

“Yes, Master.”

I called him and didn’t say anything for a while.

The next words came out only when the opaque tea water stirred in the cup for a moment and settled down.

“Why do you want to go to Camilon?”

“Of course…”

I had to turn back time.

Because what it is has not yet been revealed. So shouldn’t I have the strength to be able to respond no matter what it is?

Instead of repeating what he had already said or joking about going to get a dog, Kalian kept his mouth shut. I’m not asking because I don’t know.

After seeing Calian’s reaction, Alan asked this again.

“What do you want to do, prince?”

He will even ascend to the throne if necessary to prevent what he is trying to do.

That’s what Kalian said the first day he saw Alan.

But that wasn’t the plan for Calian.

“Have you ever thought about the prince after you have protected everything as you wish?”

Calian laughed softly.

There was no answer.

* * *

“What brings you here?”

Chase looked quite surprised that an unexpected person suddenly showed up. And at one point he added something that was clearly an imitation of what Plantz had done.

“My younger sister’s current older brother.”

We’re not close enough to joke around or play around.

At this thought, Plantz opened his mouth without hiding his annoyed expression.

“Talk to me.”

“Yes. Come in.”

Chase held out his hand and pointed inside.

Plantz hurried inside and went to the chair placed by the window and sat down with his legs crossed. And as soon as Chase sat down across from me, he opened his mouth.

“It may be possible to create and operate an army composed entirely of wizards, but it is difficult to launch a proper attack. So the solution we came up with is…” A

languid voice.

A tone of voice that seems to describe what your cat looks like. But the content inside was not that light.

“How about we talk about the weather and then get to the point, Prince Planz?”

“Just listen.”

It’s annoying to even talk about it, but talking about the weather.

Plantz, who had never done anything like that in his life, completely ignored Chase’s embarrassment. He then began to provide various information, including the composition and training methods of Vulcan, which he had figured out so far.

There was no detailed explanation.

Plantz thought that Chase would understand even if he didn’t say that.

Or maybe you already know.

“… If you do that, I think we’ll be able to create a useful army even in Secretia, where there are few wizards.”

Chase, who was looking curiously at Planz, who seemed to have half a year’s worth of things to say at once, opened his mouth after finishing speaking.

“It’s probably confidential, but is it okay if you tell me that?”

Plantz, who saw the face asking if he knew what he just said, raised one corner of his mouth and responded.

“doesn’t care.”

“I don’t know why you’re suddenly telling me this, but I did something for nothing. I should have already told you my opinion. All I remember is that I think it’s the power that Prince Calian should have.”

On the day he visited Plants, Chase clearly said that he would not change anything about the future. Everything based on what Calian knows is said to be a power that only Calian should have.

“The same goes for the wizards of Kairis. I…”

“You too.”

Planz’s eyes contained a sharpness like cool moonlight.

“I am not one to go to war for trivial reasons.”

So, if you know something, move along.

That’s what Planz said.
