Reborn as the Enemy Prince
Chapter 215

Chapter 37. None or once (6)

“… I’m going to be amazed.”

Before I even start to think about whether it means that he doesn’t like being taught something, that he doesn’t like being told not to pass on something, that he doesn’t like me calling him names, or that he doesn’t like all of them, I’m just going crazy.

There are no good words to explain this feeling, even though I was told that I would be the only one spinning around, but when I opened my eyes, I saw a boiled pea spinning round and round next to me.

“I wasn’t going to say this.”

I don’t even know what benefit he has in wanting to keep going around with me, but I guess I should say that I feel like I’m going to be crazy because he keeps going around with me.

Or maybe it felt like I was receiving Lucy’s poop beautifully wrapped in Kairis’ most expensive silk as a gift.

“Brother, why are you doing this to me?”

When did we ever meet?

When did I hit you?

Did you hate it that much when they gave you green peppers?

Why are you doing this to me?

“Really… why are you like this?”

Plantz lowered his head and looked at Calian, who spoke with his forehead covered, as if he did not want to show what kind of expression he was making.

I endure it again.

There are no eyes around me and I can’t see anything, so I thought it was good, let’s just kill the broom like an enemy.

But I endure it again. I didn’t suppress my anger, I just asked quietly in a voice that rustled like falling leaves. Why are you doing this?

Plantz, who was silently looking at the top of Calian’s head, answered quietly.

“curious.”

“What are you curious about?”

“name.”

“I’m Calian.”

“not.”

“This is Kalyan.”

After a rapid-fire series of questions and answers, Plantz chuckled. Then he made a drowsy voice.

“You bastard knows that.”

Did the bastard who knew that ask you to confirm my name?

You say the most stupid thing in the world while giving off the smell of sour tangerines, saying that you will convince yourself, understand, and take it all on your own. Do you think I will listen to you? I didn’t know his age or name, but for the first time in a long time, I cursed in front of this red-eyed guy who I didn’t even want to know anymore.

Calian lifted her head and looked at Plantz.

It might be cloudy tomorrow, so the thin moonlight was red.

Calian’s eyes were red, as if his mind was clouded.

“…… under.”

Plantz frowned, realizing that all the swear words in the world were contained in that single sigh.

“Please talk to me for a moment.”

Calian, who spoke one-sidedly, walked ahead. I had so much to say that I felt like I needed to sort things out, so I went to a better place to talk, even though I knew I was already talking to that guy.

Calian went near a small stream not far away and sat down on a small, low rock. Plantz, who was standing there with an astonished look on his face, eventually chose a random rock and sat down. Even as he saw it, Calian remained silent and only heard the sound of water.

After a long time like that.

With his older brother in front of him, whom he had been able to tolerate thanks to having a good younger brother, the younger brother, who had been able to endure it with him thanks to having a good brother, opened his mouth.

“I don’t know if you know, but I’m good at using a knife.”

Plantz frowned slightly as he felt a throbbing sensation on the back of his neck, and looked at Calian. Calian’s voice, still rustling, spread through the cold forest air.

“I cut down so much that it’s hard to count it with words.”

Even before the war broke out between Secretia and Cairis, Bern’s life was already a war in itself, and whether he experienced war or not, the fact that he was numerous did not change.

“Oh, of course. There have been many times when I have stolen it, but there have also been many times when I have protected it.”

The thing he saved the most was Chase’s life, and even if it wasn’t Chase’s, he saved quite a few lives. Even after he became Kalian, he protected the lives of not only Kirie and Hina, but also Alan and Yan. Alan and Jan may have a different meaning from the general term ‘protect’, but since Calian is alive, they are living properly, so it would be right to protect their lives as well.

“But I’ve only saved someone’s life once.”

A person who ignored all reason and calculation and just saved his life.

“I thought of various reasons for saving him later, so I added them, but at that time, I just saved him. I felt like I should keep him alive.”

Of course it was Planz.

okay.

Of course it was Planz.

As it happened, Calian, who was in front of the plant, made a voice like the sound of water heading toward the Seneu River.

“But do you know that from the day I did something that has never happened or happened once in my entire life, everything about me has been tangled up. Everything has become so tangled and tangled that I can never unravel it. Even now.”

It was a voice like water flowing into the ever-quiet Seneu River, but the words it contained were never quiet. It was stronger than a shower on a windy day.

Vulcan, whom he had steadily cultivated, his relationship with Briesen, whom he had tried to deal with step by step while clearly deciding what he wanted to achieve, and even the Auror, whom he had kept well hidden until the time was right. Things have been going wrong since the moment Plants was saved. Everything was twisted.

“I gave you the Vulcan that I wanted to take so that you wouldn’t die when the Aurors and your power were discovered, but you tied up my heart and said you would give me the Knights. To solve the problem, I gave you the Knights back to you.”

So I touched Gray to try to live again, but things got even more complicated because of Evan. Still, I had to pay attention to that guy who looked like a watermelon border that I saved, so I did something bad to Chase, but that guy modified the bracelet as he wanted and sent it to Chase.

“Thanks to you, I can’t even smell the bell pepper anymore.”

Not only did he come to hate Green Pepper, but he also became unable to take his eyes off Secretia’s affairs.

No way.

I made it so that I couldn’t let go of Secretia.

Anyway, Plantz intervenes and doesn’t say anything if there’s even one thing that’s been properly resolved. Because of this guy’s involvement and the spread of the incident, I ended up risking my life to go catch Evan. So, I wonder if there is anyone under the sky who is as much of an enemy as him. Even today, I feel rotten inside because I saved that guy’s life with my own hands.

“I feel like I’m seeing Lucy bringing me frogs to eat these days.”

Cute and cuddly Lucy keeps bringing you something these days and begging you to eat it quickly too. Something like a six-legged black thing that I’m not really curious about, or half a field mouse that I don’t want to know where the rest are, or something like that.

Right now, Calian felt exactly like he had received Lucy’s gratitude. Although the word is the same, it is a kind of gratitude that is completely different from Kirie’s heartbreaking gratitude.

He paused for a moment, then said, ‘And a fresh frog that flutters a lot.’ Calian, who did not hesitate to add another word, continued speaking again.

“Anyway, what I’m saying is… I’ve never been angry with anyone other than Serenti, but today I feel a little angry. My brother.”

I’ve never saved anyone’s life, but now I’ve done it once.

I’ve never held a grudge against anyone, but that’s just once.

“A person who doesn’t really know what living is, why on earth doesn’t he listen to my older brother, whom I saved to give him a chance to live because he said he wanted to live?”

Calian, who was asking why, but actually didn’t know the reason, seemed even more shocked, looked at Planz.

“Is that because you are still young?”

“… As I listen, it seems like my brother is starting to bark more and more.”

“It’s a real pity that I didn’t know you wouldn’t listen to me this much. It’s time for you to grow up, but… I also don’t know why you’re so stubborn. Isn’t that how puberty is?”

“If this continues, I’ll be asked if I’m raising a dog in Chermil.”

“You’re speaking at length today. Have you grown up recently? I know you’ll think about the people you’re listening to. If that’s the case, don’t pick up the frogs and just listen to what I’m saying.”

“Stop it.”

At the end of the strangely continuing conversation, which seemed to be an exchange but ended up saying only what one wanted to say, Calian briefly laughed.

“Anyway, before you said you wanted to live, you should have told me that your brother is a really disobedient person. Think about it.”

In the end, Plantz also laughed.

I was running out of patience, but I still had to treat him like an older brother, so I couldn’t hold a sword or a club, and in the end, I felt like I had to just fool around.

“If you need someone who listens well, just go to the 5th floor. I would have said no.”

“It’s scary. Is he someone who will listen to me? Every time he goes up, he is busy checking to see if there are any hidden traps.”

Plantz, who had heard a bad story about his older brother from a guy who thought he was his younger brother, but he was, looked around with a cynicism in response.

Since I was born, I have sat in unclean places only three times. The first was the lawn on the day I told Calian I wanted to live there, and the second was the lakeside of Chermil Palace. And the third is today.

In the end, it’s all because of Kalyan.

“Don’t act like you’re the only one being wronged.”

Kalian seemed to have had a lot to endure as he was caught up in helping Plants like Kallian, but Plantz’s clothes got covered in dirt when he met Kallian like Plantz did.

So Kalyan is not alone in being unfair.

“Say it properly, you idiot.”

In the forest.

Near a water stream where it is difficult to distinguish whether it is a stream or a valley.

Plantz, who had been trying to look into the water with his head down, just raised his head and looked at the sky. Calian asked in a low voice towards Plantz, who was looking up at the red moon.

“Aren’t you curious about what I’m going to teach you today?”

“… I will teach you how to live.”

As expected, I know it well.

“Is the person who knows that so stubborn to tell you?”

Plantz, who listened to Calian’s words as if he were astonished, answered leisurely.

“I’m sure my brother will survive anyway.”

No matter what you teach me, I won’t learn it this time, so I’m just telling you to save me. Where else in the world can there be such bad news?

“Your younger brother, who is supposed to save you, may not be there, so please learn it first.”

At these words, Planz’s head, which was still looking up at the sky, lowered towards Calian.

“you.”

Calian, who saw a young question in his narrowed eyes, shook his head and said.

“You won’t die. Just learn it.”

That’s ridiculous.

If you’re not going to die, doesn’t it make sense to learn something in advance that can be learned later? In the end, it is no different from saying that he will teach you in advance in case something goes wrong.

“Don’t skip it, just do it once.”

Calian, who could see through Planz’s thoughts, interrupted his thoughts.

“Can you just listen to me for once?”

Plantz, who had been glaring at Calian with narrowed eyes, closed his eyes. During Calian’s talk today, he took a moment to think about things other than the things he had told him not to skip.

With his eyes closed, Plantz quietly opened his mouth.

“…… okay.”

Finally, after hearing one complaint, I decided to put aside my stubbornness and learn what was taught.

“Instead. A snake, not a frog.”

Instead, he put a condition on her that instead of being Lucy, who fetches frogs, she would act as a broom to catch snakes.

“Yes. Please help me with that, brother.”

Plantz nodded his head once in response to an answer that clearly understood words that even Relic could not understand.

Calian smiled brightly when he saw that. This is because I felt proud of myself for finally breaking the stubbornness of the peas, which seemed so round that there was nowhere to break them.

“Oh, it was hard.”

I guess I’ve really grown up because I’m good at handling peas now.

After this is over, I have to have a drink with my father.

I heard Kairis Himolica is so delicious.

* * *

My back hurt all day, probably because tomorrow will be cloudy.

Even though I received proper treatment and was completely cured, my back always hurt on days like this. It’s been a while since I laid down to sleep, but I couldn’t sleep at all and my back was hurting, so I ended up calling the butler.

I felt like I wanted to go to the Schurinz region and soak in the warm spring water, but I got angry because I couldn’t get out of this remote corner of the country.

“Master Margrave, are you okay?”

I know that it wasn’t just my back that was broken, but it was so useful that I kept it alive instead of killing it. The butler said as he put a towel with a warming spell on his waist and put it on.

“Please have this at hand. If you need anything else…”

“Okay, get out.”

Regardless of whether it was a genuine concern or a concern out of salary, it was said out of concern, but Gray only gave an irritated answer. As if he had forgotten that it was he who called out sick.

Thanks to his butler, he was able to walk on his own two feet and was able to safely hide the fact that he was no longer a sword master. There could be no benefactor like him, but there was no brain in Brissen’s blood that could remember such help in the first place.

The peas brought to you by the frogs are particularly strange, since Brisen was always like that.

“Yes. Then rest, Margrave.”

So, instead of saying anything else or frowning, the butler simply said hello and went out.

Gray, who heard the small sound of the door closing, lay down on his stomach and groaned.

“Like a fucking healer.”

Isn’t this all because of that shitty healer called Malcolm or something? If he had been treated properly from the beginning, he wouldn’t have had moisture forming between his waist every time a dark cloud appeared.

Gray groaned once more and turned around, swearing more foul language.

“Why are you blaming the wrong healer? It’s my fault.”

Then, in an awkward manner, he stopped moving just as he was trying to turn. He opened his eyes without even thinking about taking out the knife he had kept under his pillow for days like this, or even daring to call someone out loud.

“I told you to live quietly as if you were dead. You called one of my people and tried to do something cute, Margrave.”

okay.

My whole body froze with fear embedded deep in my bones, as if I had become a frog facing the eyes of a snake.

“dare.”

Calian slightly bent down and made eye contact with Gray, smiling like a flower in full bloom.

[Side Story] Sinastar

Even in Secretia, funerals are held with flowers.

It is a white and round flower during the day, but at night it turns into a star and flies away.

Isn’t it amazing, brother?

What was pure was lost to poison

What was pure lost to poison.

It is cruel, harsh, and harsh.

It is a vicious, cruel, and harsh thing.

It’s quiet. It’s bleak and desolate. So in the end, I am lonely. Unable to protect anything, I am alone, lost in thoughts more lonely than hell.

“Planz.”

I was immersed in a scent more terrible than solitude.

Now that I am left alone, I am completely alone.

“Planz. You have to answer. What are you thinking like that?”

It’s only been a week since the prince of a country took his own life.

A banquet was held to celebrate the well-being of the queen, who had survived the evil plan of the three princes, which was difficult for her to even put into words.

– You almost were late. If he knew he was learning magic, he should have told me.

Congratulations on the queen’s well-being.

-Why didn’t you think that even if you blindfold him, he won’t escape the wizards’ sight?

Or maybe it was because he was able to prevent a prince who looked like a Sispanian from almost putting the Wizards’ Union on his back.

– There is still a long way to go. Planz.

He cannot be under anyone’s feet.

However, the road you take to get there on your own is complicated and difficult.

The end of the steps that try to lead with me instead.

Am I really there?

If you ask.

Should I give you an honest answer that there will be no you in the end?

– So always stay alert. You must not stop.

The smell of blood seeped in between the terrible Renieri scent and it was thick and strong. If not a single life has been taken away with one’s own hands, then how can such a disgusting scent exist?

Do you even know it yourself?

Is that why I live buried in a scent that grows stronger day by day?

“I will wake up first.”

Planz, who could not put anything in his mouth because the tips of his fingers were sore from the scent as if salt had been placed on cut skin, spat out the words.

“…It stinks.”

The sound of a fan being opened resounded in the banquet hall.

Plantz stood up without worrying about whether he was trying to cover up Plantz’s words or his expression.

Evan’s face was as hard as Silike’s, and Lennon, unaware of the situation, quietly sniffed his clothes to see if there was a smell.

* * *

The name of that flower is Sinasta.

I prefer the flower that turns into a star and goes to the sky rather than the flower that follows the river to the sea.

I like the flower called Sinastar better.

* * *

She felt like the darkness was swallowing her up.

Plantz did not like the darkness that did not illuminate anything.

So he said no.

– But prince. You will be amazed to know what this is.

– get out.

If Lennon, being such an idiot, had told him what it was, Plantz would never have turned down such a great gift.

If only she had first explained why the ink-colored metal does not illuminate anything. If I had first told you that it was a fragment of a star that fell from the sky and that it was a stone that did not reflect anything, like the ashes left after burning a star.

If that were the case, she would have received it with joy.

If she had done that, she wouldn’t have met another guy who really turned around like him.

“Are you saying you want to go to the auction yourself?”

In fact, there were many doubts about the death of the third prince.

No one said it was a murder, but no one considered it a suicide.

Siegfried.

Except them.

No one knew why elephants that had nothing to do with the three princes were coming forward. Planz just had a vague guess as to the reason, but he didn’t know the exact facts either.

What is known is that Siegfried summoned an archmage and through him the Wizards’ Union began to move. However, unfortunately, because the country where the great wizard was located was not Kairis, the fact-replaceing investigation by the Wizards’ Union, which had gathered without a focus, soon ended without any significant results.

“Since when did you have a hobby of deliberately choosing difficult paths?”

“Close your mouth.”

On the surface, there was no income.

Lemain began to move with Siegfried. Quietly and without anyone knowing. He prepared a wizard force that could devour Briseen at once.

Additionally, Lemain sent wizards to Chermil Palace to watch over and guard the two remaining princes in the name of preventing them from becoming agitated and causing unnecessary bloodshed. He sent wizards to protect his two remaining sons, under the condition that they would no longer ask how his youngest son died.

He could see the whole situation unfolding before his eyes, but Plantz kept his mouth shut.

“If you wanted to go on an outing, there’s no need to go there. What would a prince who can’t even use an Auror do with a sword made from a meteorite?”

However, the blue-haired wizard who came to watch and escort Plants hardly kept his mouth shut.

“I told you to close your mouth, wizard.”

The cloud brought by Lennon Briesen was put up for auction.

Evan already had a better, older sword, and Plantz had refused to accept it as a gift. So Lennon put it up for auction and spread the word across the continent.

“It’s dangerous to go out, so ask the Brisen Merchants to cancel the auction. If you do that.”

Because it is a piece of a star.

Just for that reason.

“I said I would.”

He insisted on getting it with his own hands.

“… I understand. I will prepare and serve you.”

I thought there was nothing left to feel any special guilt about that child, but that’s just it.

A piece of a star.

Just for that reason alone.

* * *

– The prince’s hair color is very noticeable, so never take off your hood. It’s dangerous to have an assassin attached to you.

– know.

I went to the auction house with a blue haired wizard. And I got what I wanted.

There was one guy who stuck around until the end, but Planz was the prince of Kairis, so he had no reason to lose the auction.

He did something so reckless for the first and last time in his life. Until then, Planz had thought that this would be the last time he had committed such a reckless act, so it was true that it was the first and last time.

okay.

Until then, I didn’t know that he would do even more reckless things as time passed.

“Prince, the color of your hair is so eye-catching, so never take off your hood. It’s dangerous if an assassin catches you.”

Of course, he didn’t know that he would hear the same story in the place he visited.

“If they catch you, you can kill them. Let’s check out the Kairis bastards’ sword skills.”

“Prince. Please say something….”

“Don’t scratch. It’s already annoying.”

The hair color visible underneath the hood was literally so eye-catching. That’s why Planz frowned slightly when he saw that.

‘Secritia 2nd Prince.’

Bern Secretia.

A sharp-edged crazy man whose only reputation is his reputation.

“I wanted it. A piece of a star.”

He met the bastard. To be precise, it was only Plantz who noticed it, but that’s how he met it.

And he passed by.

Plantz thought it would also be the first and last time.

As the days passed, the starry-like hair color slowly faded from his memory. So, when the starlight no longer appeared properly.

“Have you decided on a name?”

The blue haired wizard asked this.

In fact, Kairis swordsmen liked to give their swords names.

Hatsuara was greatly influenced by the fact that he gave the beautiful and strong sword he used with constellations inlaid with pathetic names such as ‘My Fanny, the scariest in the world’.

“If you tell me the name of the sword, I will engrave it for you.”

Of course, Plantz, who had not yet given a name to his black horse, which he had painstakingly trained for a year, had never thought of giving a name to something like a sword.

“…… Sinastar.”

So it was an extremely impulsive action that was at all uncharacteristic of Planz.

“Sinasta. That’s what I’ll tell you. And they say you can make one more sword. What will you do with the other sword?”

“To Siegfried.”

Since I had no use for it anyway, I sent the remaining sword to Siegfried’s Duke. It carries the meaning that if you want revenge on the royal family, come in person.

I thought that the Little Duke Dmirea, who was said to be different from the Duke, would come looking for revenge. I sent it with the message that I would accept it as much as I wanted if it came to me.

So many days passed and many years passed.

The light green eyes, which had contained a faint spirit of life until the time when the name was given to the inky sword, were drying out day by day.

A lot of things happened as time passed, but in the end, I couldn’t stop it all.

* * *

Will the flower become a white star at night?

Will it be a blue star?

Or maybe a red star?

* * *

A light green glass bead with cracks in all directions.

Eyes that don’t even notice that a stench worse than the smell of the blood of those who have passed away is coming from their hands.

A person with two eyes that had changed to match his sword, which did not emit light, stood before the tragedy that he had committed with his own hands.

– Even if it is not a war waged for anyone, this is a one-sided invasion. If you don’t forget it, I will go with you.

No matter what reason you give and wrap it up nicely, a tragedy is just a tragedy.

Two light green eyes, buried in an abyss, buried in a sin that could not be forgiven even if they spent time in heaven, looked up at the top of the spire built in the royal castle.

I wonder if I made eye contact with someone standing above it.

The lightless eyes that imagined it for a moment quietly closed and then opened again.

The hand of the blue-haired wizard standing in the distance truly said his final words to the one knight who had held out until the end.

The mad king, who had watched in silence as the long hair resembling starlight was submerged in a puddle of blood, moved his feet.

– Jump and jump.

I stepped on the land of Secreta, which had become a huge tomb, and walked forward step by step.

And I stood in front of the person who had already stopped breathing.

I didn’t recall the brief memories of that day, but just.

‘I wanted it.’

Because the thought of that day suddenly appeared in my head, which is not good at forgetting.

He placed his ink-colored sword on the body of a knight with his eyes closed in a huge tomb.

Now you too.

Now me too.

Since it is no longer needed.

It’s late, but I’ll make a concession now.

King Wang, who was a knight until the end, gave a sword to a knight who had lost his sword.

Sinastar.

okay.

A sword with that name.

* * *

I wish it was red.

I would be really happy if a red star that resembles me flies into the sky.

My brother

Even though you said you didn’t like red.

Still, I hope the flower for me turns into a red star and flies away.

If that happens, I.

I think I will be happy no matter where I go.
