Reborn as the Enemy Prince
Chapter 237

Chapter 42. The Heart (4)

Arsene gave Euria a pure white egg as a gift.

Euria, who received it, began to learn how to hatch eggs by asking questions.

Calian gave Plantz a gray cat as a gift.

Plantz, who brought Lucy and the kitten to Wilhelm’s coffin and placed them on his lap, worked hard to think of a new cat name to forget something that could not be seen.

Hina gave Plantz a kitten leash.

Plantz laughed when he saw the writing on the leash, ‘I am Prince Plantz’s cat who likes him.’

And Calian also gave Lemain something as a gift.

‘You must have had a lot to worry about these days, so why not take a moment to relax while watching your favorite horseback riding show?’

After training with Kyrie all day, I went to see Lemain a little late in the evening and said this.

Lemain was grateful and honored by Calian’s gift-like words that expressed his concern for him, so he answered that he would do so without much hesitation. Around this time, Lemain was in a good mood, telling this story to Alan, who came to report on work after meeting Calian.

The guy who was amazing just a moment ago ran away.

Lemain, who thought he was even more surprised that he was no longer surprised after hearing such news, cupped his forehead.

‘You do something amazing and something painful once. Surely the prince never behaves in a biased way? ‘How fair is this?’

‘I don’t think these words came from the heart; it seems like the Count was trying to make fun of me.’

‘If you’re that curious, I’ll tell you.’

‘no. ‘I don’t want to know.’

I was thinking about just lifting the ban on going out with the wizard’s sentiments flowing in one ear, but I decided to leave it as is for now. I thought that if I didn’t have any qualms about breaking the rules, I would think of the palace as just a place to sleep and wander around like a little magpie exploring the world.

So leave the curfew alone.

When you come back this time, I’m going to give you a real scolding.

… When that wizard isn’t around.

* * *

The day after so many people exchanged heartwarming gifts.

Calian, who entered the office of the Vulcan Vice Commanders, narrowed his eyes for a moment.

“Hmm.”

After returning home from my fiancé’s house, I went to sleep and in the morning I got scolded more by Jan than by Lemain. I felt like I would be scolded even more if I told him that I was planning on leaving the palace to see Demirea for some time, so I didn’t say that.

After being scolded, I worked hard to go up to the 4th floor, ate as much as I felt sad about being scolded, called Kirie over, and trained again. After that, I came to the Wilhelm Pavilion like this.

‘Vice Commander Hertz went with Prince Planz to meet Corps Commander Manasil. When you return, I will tell you to visit Chermil Palace, Prince Calian.’

‘I can’t call someone who is busier than me. I’ll go in and wait for you.’

‘all right.’

After a short conversation with Needlen, whom I met along the way, I entered the empty office. And then I saw something. No, I ‘took charge’.

“… For some reason, it was soaked all morning.”

Also, I couldn’t help but notice that it was crunching like cabbage pickled in vinegar, so I fed it to him by saying, ‘If you eat all that, I’ll teach you a sword technique.’ I found the reason why he did that.

Minesias.

A purple flower that looked like an upside-down fist-sized bell was placed on Arsene’s desk.

Calian looked at it for a moment and smiled slightly.

“It smells good.”

I don’t know when it was put there, but a very nice flower scent was wafting throughout the office.

I never thought Arsene would put flowers in his place.

Calian, who soon erased his smile, walked over and lifted the flower.

“What should I do with this….”

It’s weird when I ask for it, and it’s even weirder when I tell it to get rid of it. I’m sorry to burn it, but it’s a waste to throw it away. But what kind of flower is this? Could it be that I am in a relationship? It’s not a good age to be in a relationship for a while. But who is it? I think I need to tell you how crazy this guy is before you get fooled any further. But is it really possible that I’m in a real relationship? hmm.

When I was thinking about that for a while.

“Leave it.”

Another set of footsteps, not Calian’s, came closer and the person who entered through the open door spoke briefly. It was Planz.

Calian turned his head and gave a simple example before opening his mouth.

“How long has this been happening?”

Plantz opened the documents without replying. Since I told you to leave it alone, it means to turn off the rest.

Calian, who had no intention of attracting attention, continued to look at Planz with a smile on his face, and only then did the answer come out.

“yesterday.”

I worked all day smelling that scent.

I couldn’t even say a single word to clean it up.

Judging from what he was doing, he must have stopped Reric from talking to Arsene.

“My brother is so considerate.”

Calian let out a short sigh and opened the office window wide. Then he created a wind and sent the scent of Minesias, which filled the office, far away.

Plantz, who saw this, made a dissatisfied face. Calian, who knew very well what he was thinking, opened his mouth before Plantz.

“I’m not overprotective.”

We know that for Plantz, flowers are not just symbols.

“If it were okay, you wouldn’t have made that face in the morning.”

Calian, who felt that a fair amount of the scent had gone, opened Arsene’s desk drawer and put a flower inside it. Then he looked at the open window for a moment and opened his mouth.

“I met brother Randel yesterday.”

“however.”

“They gave me grapefruit tea.”

Perhaps because he thought he was starting to talk out of nowhere again, Plantz didn’t respond any further and handed over the documents.

“First, grapefruit cake, then grapefruit sorbet. Yesterday, grapefruit tea. When I saw that, I suddenly started hating grapefruit. Suddenly. I suddenly hated the taste, not knowing if it was sour, bitter, or sweet.”

Randel was the one who served thick melted chocolate drinks whenever he met. Calian asked Plantz, who was thinking about Randel’s behavior, who seemed to be very interested in things his brother disliked.

“What do you think I said?”

“I guess they told me to bring another car.”

Calian said, laughing at the answer that seemed obvious.

“Brother, have you ever told someone else that you can’t stand the scent of flowers?”

Have you ever said your dislike directly, other than letting Calian notice it, Allen recognize it, and Lemaine hear it?

Plantz, who had not responded for a while, opened his mouth.

“The scent is still strong.”

Even though I tried to say I didn’t like it, it was no use because the scent of the person who was there was still strong. I answered that I had never personally said that I didn’t like flowers.

“You can do that.”

I know you are trying to fix it.

I also know that things are getting better little by little.

But that doesn’t mean it’s okay to force yourself to endure it.

“Forcing yourself to endure until you feel numb doesn’t mean you’ll get better, you’re just enduring it. You don’t have to do that.”

As if Lucy was teaching a kitten, she takes care of everything from one to ten. Like Kirie, I don’t grow on my own, and like Demirea, I don’t stand up with just one or two words. I’m walking around without even being able to say I don’t like anything.

At the same time, it’s crazy and crazy to say that I’ll play the role of an older brother again, but anyway.

Calian, who was staring at the gray-purple jacket with an ambiguous brightness somewhere between white and dark gray, said with a small sigh.

“If I forgot something, please tell me.”

It feels like a wind carrying the energy of spring is blowing.

Clean Magic. Planz, who noticed that Calian’s magic, which he could now feel only slightly, had passed by, answered in a low voice.

“…… okay.”

Still, it’s a good thing that he obediently understands the things I teach him.

“Why isn’t Lord Hertz coming?”

“meal.”

“Ah. Could you please tell me to come to you when you come back?”

“there is.”

“Yes. But what about lunch, brother?”

“yet.”

“Then with me…”

“I don’t want to.”

“yes.”

Calian smiled brightly, nodding his head in the cool breeze blowing through the wide open window.

The damn bastard speaks very well to me.

* * *

Still, I’m not completely clueless.

After eating, I heard that the window was open, the flowers were in the drawer, and Kalyan came and went. So Arsene took the flowers from the drawer and went to Hina’s office. After giving it as a thank-you gift to the two advisors who told him where to sell eggs, he came to Kalian.

The black tea with ginger and peach had a spicy, sweet scent.

“They say it’s good for recovering from fatigue, so drink it all.”

When Kalian said the same thing as Hina to Arsene in front of the car, Arsene smiled and answered.

“Thank you for your concern. However, since Sir Jaya came, I have been leaving work on time.”

“That’s a good thing.”

Knowing that Planz was returning to Chermil Palace earlier, Arsene also guessed that he would have time to catch his breath. So Calian smiled and nodded.

They didn’t say who was arranging for what made them so busy due to two big things overlapping.

“Do you have anything else to tell me?”

In addition to Balkan’s work, the person who sometimes takes care of Hina’s escort asked if there was anything else to do. A feeling of regret added to Calian’s laughter.

“Actually, there are two. I’ll do one later, but there’s something urgent to do first.”

As the number of personnel in Balkan has increased, I know that it is time to change the command system and revise the operation method, but I thought that if I said it now, Arsene would write a will, so I put it off for now. After the reinforcements were over, I would feel the need, so I decided to wait and leave it to Pea, who was relatively lively.

-Tap!

However, the rest that could never be left to the pea was placed on the table. Arsene saw that and frowned unconsciously.

A black pebble that you want to forget but can’t.

My newly healed shoulder felt sore for a moment, but I couldn’t say that to Calian. Arsene’s shoulders feel sore when he looks at the pebble, but I wonder if Calian’s shoulders are sore when he looks at Arsene.

“Don’t think too much, Lord Hertz.”

“……Did you notice something while you were with the prince, the vice commander?”

“I’m naturally quick-witted. My brother’s keen sense is even better.”

Calian was about to ask when they were going to sort out that long title, but he didn’t think it was a matter for him to get involved in, so he just put it off. If you don’t want to listen, the peas will take care of it.

“The Margrave of Gray Briesen will come to see Brother Randel either late this afternoon or tomorrow. Then I would like Lord Hertz to meet the Margrave one more time and tell him what he has to say.”

“All right.”

“Oh, of course. I’m not forcing you, so if you don’t feel like it, feel free to talk about it. It’s really okay.” Don’t

force yourself to do what you’re told and then

get beaten for doing it again.

“Didn’t you say you wouldn’t make me do something I don’t like? I’ll do anything since it’s something I don’t like.”

Calian chuckled at the groundless belief and raised his teacup. There was always a strong scent of ginger that was unfamiliar to me, but that I didn’t hate.

Soon, with a slight movement of magical power, a silent curtain was created, and Calian, who was looking down at the teacup in his hand, quietly opened his mouth.

“That’s right. You don’t have to pretend to betray me this time. Instead, you must not let anyone in the palace see you meeting the Margrave. I’d like to meet him in person, but I’m not yet familiar with the magic that erases my appearance

.” Arsene was able to survive for several hours while using the magic of invisibility without any problems. So, I was asking him to meet Gray in that state.

“Yes. No problem.”

“Brother Randel will convey my words to Margrave Briesen. The king’s family will soon be leaving the palace, so at that time, I need you to create evidence that Evan tried to attack me.” Arsene

‘s expression turned complicated when he heard the word “attack.” However, Calian’s words were not finished yet.

“That’s what I would say. .”

Knock knock knock.

The sound of tapping a teacup rang out for a moment.

To Arsene, it sounded like the sound of a complicated plan being put together.

“Brother Randel, tell me one more thing that even you shouldn’t know. Before producing any evidence, please meet with Marquis Evan Briesen. And tell me to show you this.”

Calian pointed to a black pebble and grinned.

“I plan to catch the Marquis of Briesen. With my own hands.”

“Prince, that is.”

“Master stopped me, and I heard something from the Duke yesterday, but I’m still stubborn, so don’t say anything. “There is a reason, but I don’t think I should let you know that, so I hope you don’t even wonder.” My

plan is to watch Evan’s sword skills with my own eyes and tell Plantz. I

plan to shake off Gray later, but I will never cut Plantz with my own hands. Isn’t the situation like this because Calian is planning to take out Evan’s swordsmanship, which he has no intention of striking? As a knight, he doesn’t want Brissen

‘s swordsmanship to be interrupted, and Plantz properly takes control of Brissen and threatens Calian. It was a decision made with the intention of having the strength to help.

When Alan heard that thought, he clicked his tongue and was worried, but did not object. However, it was obvious that Arsene would be against it. So, he did not tell Arsene the reason. “Anyway .

The Marquis of Briesen will mistakenly believe that the Margrave has joined hands with Brother Landel. I need to put my brother on the throne as soon as possible, but since Brother Randel has come forward and I’ve been so stubborn, I’m sure he’s anxious. “You want to get rid of it somehow, but you’re so scared.”

Kalian shook his head and continued,

“If he hears that the king’s family has gone outside the palace, he will decide to use this opportunity to attack me. But contrary to what you think, you will never be able to execute it. “Everyone knows that there is no one in Kyrisis who can catch me other than the Marquis, and I think it would be useless to try to frame Margrave Briesen, as I know full well that the Margrave’s skills are not very good.” Calian’s finger pointed at a pebble

. “ Please

tell the Margrave everything, including who I was harmed by in the past, how badly I was injured when I went into hiding, and even the fact that I hid myself in the duke’s residence to keep it a secret. So that the Marquis, who picked up the story that the Margrave had pretended to be a mistake, knows that there is someone else with the ability to attack me.” So that

Evan, who attacked Calian, is reminded of his plan to frame Zeon.

“If there is an opening to escape, next to the bait. A small piece of food moving back and

forth will look very delicious.” It will look so delicious that you will be excited at the thought of ascending to the crown and think that you can catch at least one prince who visits his fiancé’s house every day. “I

… ….”

Arsene, who had heard the details of Calian’s plan, opened his mouth quietly. Then, looking at Calian, who was savoring the scent of tea with a relaxed face, he said as if he were making a promise. “I will follow the prince for the rest of my life.” It was a bit

scary

. But anyway, I’m not doing it because I’m scared

. “Of course I have to.” Why ca n’t

you say something like that that hurts your mouth?

Calian laughed as he looked at how he was going to continue to be busy buying flowers and working.
