Reborn as the Enemy Prince -
Chapter 248
Chapter 44. I slept for a long time
so as not to forget (2) .
I spent the day completely unconscious.
After that, I fell asleep and woke up repeatedly. Although he said he was awake, it would be correct to say that he was still half asleep.
I endlessly replayed the fight with Evan, feeling like I was either dreaming or just waking up from a dream. Sometimes Evan was in front of me, and sometimes I was alone. He continued to use his sword regardless of who was in front of him or not.
Did I cling to what I could focus on the most to forget the pain? Or maybe it was because I was worried that I might forget my sword skills. Even Calian didn’t know the exact reason.
After spending such a long dream alone, I woke up.
I opened my eyes after realizing something I couldn’t tell if it was swordsmanship or reality.
– Grumble.
When I woke up, I felt a little relieved because I was hungry.
If you open your eyes after being in pain and feel hunger greater than the pain, wouldn’t it be the same as getting better?
So Kalyan sat up first.
“I’m hungry…”
I was muttering absentmindedly when something caught my eye.
“ah.”
The yellow one.
A sudden sweet smell appeared.
“It’s a banana.”
Calian, who had a happy face, accepted it with a bright smile. I was so preoccupied with the banana that it occurred to me a little later that the bright yellow one I was given was a bright green one.
“ah.”
It’s a pea.
Calian, who couldn’t say it more than once, swallowed it and laughed.
“It’s been a while since I saw you, brother.”
I don’t know how long he slept, but it seemed like he had slept for a long time, so I greeted him like that.
Planz, who had been looking at Calian for a while, nodded briefly and stood up. I didn’t know how long he had been sitting nearby, but it seemed like he had decided to generously understand that my younger brother had found a banana before he even showed me.
Plantz didn’t ask Calian if he was okay, tell him how long he had been asleep, or tell him what his situation was. I didn’t blame Kalian for barking as if he was fulfilling his life’s long-cherished wish right before he collapsed.
“Hina, sleep.”
“yes.”
I just told Hina, who had suffered so much, to be quiet so as not to wake her as she was sleeping, and then went out of the treatment room.
Thinking about it, it would be a bit strange to hear the sound ‘Lord Bern’ coming out of Plantz’s mouth, so Calian decided to just ignore Plantz calling Hina’s name and started eating the banana in silence.
Since I didn’t want to leave something that wasn’t checked to see if it was okay to eat, I took more bananas of unknown origin that were lying nearby and chewed them thoroughly. Hina had said before that it was not good to eat too much suddenly, so I ate in moderation and not in large quantities.
When Hina wakes up, she will definitely scold her.
I will also tell you to stop eating bananas.
Calian, who knew this well, ate carefully, even manifesting silence to prevent Hina from waking up.
After that, I used my magic power to get myself dressed up to the point where I felt comfortable appearing in front of others, and then I hurriedly went outside. And with a face that didn’t know whether he was crying or laughing, he returned to Chermil Palace with Jan, who told him what had happened while Calian was asleep.
‘…… So most of the Knights of Kaera have been reinstated, but I think they will be reorganized and have a new name for the Knights. His Majesty is currently attending to his duties at Arfia Palace, and Count Manasil has gone to the Wizards’ Association to meet Lord Siren. Prince Randel is at Chermil Palace without any other business, and Prince Planz has just gone to the palace prison, saying he wants to meet someone for a while.’
‘okay. thank you.’
‘You’re going to the training center.’
When Yan asked resignedly where and how he heard what he heard, Kalian answered without saying anything unnecessary, such as telling him not to worry.
‘huh. That’s how it should be.’
‘All right. I’ll let you know when Prince Planz comes.’
‘no. ‘He’ll probably come on his own.’
After confirming that there was no special situation requiring immediate action, I stood at the training site. And after a while, Plants came by on his own.
Calian grabbed the sword.
– Ugh!
– Ugh!
Two swords.
Since the use of a single sword was less important, it was immediately shown that he was holding two swords.
I organized it in my head and slowly followed Evan’s swordsmanship, one by one, as I had seen him swing it in his dream. How to hold a sword, how to cut, stab, and block. How you use your shoulders and arms, how you move your legs, and where and when you step with your feet.
Plantz did not hastily stretch out his arms or raise his sword to follow suit, but just did as Calian told him and put it all into his head. This was so that his poor skills would not remain in his memory.
Calian, who showed me each and every move, stopped for a moment and looked at Plantz. Light green eyes looked at the tip of the dark red sword for a while and then looked at the red eyes.
“Shall I show you one more time?”
“no.”
Anyway, my brother is so smart.
Calian, who smiled with his mouth raised, spoke next.
“Now I’ll show you the order of giving and receiving.”
Order of exchange.
This time, Plantz nodded when he said that he would show his battle with Evan as is.
Occasionally, there were cases where Kyrie imitated the movements Kalian showed in sparring to Plantz. This time, Calian just shows Evan his sword skills. There would be no difference.
“okay.”
I imagined the virtual Calian through Evan’s eyes.
After that, Evan repeated the same swordsmanship he had shown in front of Calian, only at a much slower speed. Pushing, cutting, stabbing, blocking, attacking, and swinging from different directions all the same.
‘Phew!’
Everything from wounding Calian to twisting out the sword that had penetrated his flesh.
Since he had experienced a lot of Calian’s swordsmanship, another Calian that he was imagining now must have appeared in Plantz’s mind. Thanks to this, Plantz, who saw the attack just now, frowned for a moment, but did not say anything because Calian continued to move.
Thus, until the moment when Evan blocked only one of Calian’s attacks, Calian, who had been unfolding before Plantz’s eyes, corrected his posture.
Planz, knowing that the fight was over, narrowed his eyes and opened his mouth.
“You. Stop fighting.”
I was distracted by something.
“Not yet.”
There was no need to further confirm what he had memorized, but after blocking Plantz’s question for now, Calian raised his sword again.
“Now what I’m going to show you is Brisen’s sword. It’s the most important, so look at it carefully and don’t forget. I’ll gradually fill in the missing parts and let you know again.”
“…… okay.”
A short answer comes back a moment later.
Calian’s sword began to draw a trajectory.
Lighter than Evan, heavier than Evan, faster than Evan, slower than Evan.
Rather than just missing each move, and not using it when fighting. Although there are some shortcomings here and there, Brisen’s swordsmanship is something that Kalian learned from watching.
I unfolded it.
– Taaat!
The two swords begin to dance.
The swords in both hands fell, came together, and then moved away again.
Before you know it, one sword becomes two blades again. It was two swords separated from each other and turned into one long blade with the handle in the middle. It changed its appearance constantly.
At times, it was swung with more force than the sword currently used by Calian, and at other times, it cut sharper than the sword used by Demirea. The two swords complemented each other, filling empty spaces and targeting loopholes.
Light but not weak, heavy but not dull.
The faster it is, the clearer it is, and the slower it is, the more cautious it is.
It flies through the air as if there is nothing to worry about, and before you know it, it is crashing down. I swing without hesitation and before I know it, I’m trying to catch my breath.
The afterimage left by the tip of the sword was like flower petals scattering in the wind. It was like a flower falling from the rain.
A dark red light bloomed.
There was a bloody smell and the flowers were in full bloom.
* * *
An invisible fight.
Outside, the nobles were on alert, and inside, Lemain was on alert.
“I just thought about something else for a moment. It wasn’t a big deal, but I was distracted.”
Either that or not.
Kalian said, his eyes filled with beef tenderloin steak.
Planz, who leisurely cut the steak and put it in his mouth, chewed it well and swallowed it, answered slowly.
“You focus.”
“Yes. I am.”
“okay.”
Plantz, who found out why he was injured while fighting Evan, persistently asked him why he was concentrating elsewhere. So Kalian just vaguely explained it. I can’t answer that because the house was so green and the grass was so green, I looked into my inner self and meditated for a while without realizing it.
Calian turned to Plantz, who clearly understood that he did not want to answer.
“So why did you meet Caera’s knight again?”
“Because it doesn’t fit.”
“Was there anything else about him that wasn’t clear?”
Calian asked again, looking at the barbecued goose breast with an expectant face, and this time, Plantz, who picked it up and ate it well, gave the answer.
“Vacation period.”
Soon, Planz ate a salad topped with a light strawberry-milk sauce, quenched his thirst with sparkling water with a few slices of orange, and spoke.
It was directed at Kalian, who was sitting on the sofa at a distance and staring at the food on the table, unable to eat anything.
“A man from the Ezron region went home in early July and returned in mid-August. Twice in 10 years.”
Even considering how long I would stay at home in the Ezron area, I could easily visit within about a month and a half. So, after thinking for a moment about what the problem was during that period, Kalian opened his mouth.
“The date is wrong because it is July. It is the time when the Ritz River floods, so we have to go back.”
Then he looked at Planz with a face that said, ‘Oh my brother, it’s so amazing that you found that.’
After finishing his meal, Planz saw Calian’s expression exactly like this. So Planz picked up the fork he had already put down and cut another large piece of the steak that he had only eaten a little while ago.
– You can’t eat anything until tomorrow. I’m in big trouble. In particular, never eat meat.
It was because of what Kalian heard from Hina.
After instructing Plantz in the skill of the Briceen sword, Hina came to visit. I was scolded for eating three bananas on an empty stomach, I was scolded more for running away after eating them, and I was scolded again for getting hurt in the first place.
The hellish fast has begun.
That’s why these damn peas, like carrot sprouts, are eating meat so hard now. I wanted to show my younger brother, who was sitting there, saying he wanted to at least smell the meat, and how good it was to eat meat that smelled good.
…… He is a cruel guy.
Well, anyway.
“So, without any other evidence or suspicion, you just trusted the vacation record and went straight to meet the driver?”
“Because it’s the fastest.”
“Well, that’s right. There’s nothing faster than meeting someone in person.”
Calian chuckled.
One suspicious corner is enough. Isn’t it a matter of meeting the rest in person and discussing it?
“you.”
“I didn’t notice it for any other reason… I heard you blew off Viscount Briesen’s jaw, so I don’t think he wants to see you again, and there’s no need for you to see the rest of us. All that’s left is the poison bag. “It was only the article he gave me, so I thought he must have gone to see it because there was something else the article hid.”
Plantz placed his hand on the sleeping cats without answering.
“That’s why you told me so much about the poison bag. “I didn’t want to reveal other, more important secrets.”
“That’s because it was strange.”
It was strange that he revealed the truth so easily in the first place, so while checking the guy’s information, I even thought about going through 10 years’ worth of vacation logs. I think he’s really stubborn and stubborn, but Anyway, thanks to that, I found out the real identity that the knight was hiding.
“It was a bird of Secretia. Come to think of it, there was already one Sezac from the Secretia side, and there was no way that there wouldn’t be more.” Wasn’t one of the Balkan knights who served as
Chase’s commander also a Sejak who had hidden in Brissen? So Devlan’s bird had also hid in Brissen first. It wouldn’t have been impossible for him to have been swept away by Du Evan’s duke and sent as a knight of Caera.
“I never told you that it was Secretia Sejac.”
“Didn’t the bird say anything else? “He swore at me.”
Or he left a barbed comment like a curse.
“I didn’t do it.”
“Thank goodness.”
He said that he went to see the knight because he had something suspicious, but he still didn’t tell him that it was Secretia’s servant. Nevertheless, Kali. Ahn spoke as if he was sure of his identity and replied that he was glad that the man had not said anything else.
Planz, who was looking at Calian with a slight frown, opened his mouth quietly.
“My brother smelled blood, not meat. It looks like you came up.”
Plantz sighed a little as he now knew why Calian, who couldn’t even eat, bothered to come up to the fourth floor and watch him eat. Calian laughed softly. “My brother is really very perceptive
. ”
“If you’re going to bark, go away. If you want to talk, there is.”
“The smell of blood coming from you was not strong, so I thought it might have been spread to me, but it wasn’t. It didn’t seem like he was buried that day at Evan Briesen’s mansion either.”
Calian continued on behalf of Planz, who did not respond.
“Birds usually don’t reveal anything because they are secretaries. Chew what’s in your mouth and swallow it. There are some birds that don’t, but most do.”
“That’s right.”
“So I understand. What did you do and what did you see when you went to the prison?”
Secretia’s three children hid poison in their mouths.
Plantz went to the prison to check whether the knight was Devlan’s bird. He held it tightly and shook it as if he was sure of the knight’s identity. If the bastard swallows the poison and dies, Sejak will be hit.
Calian, who guessed why he went to such extreme measures to try to confirm Sejak’s identity, sighed briefly and said, “I didn’t mean for you to learn
such things. ”
“I know.”
“You don’t have to do that, but I can go to Camilon.”
“I know. “That too.”
Planz wanted to take responsibility for what had happened because of him.
He had to inform the nobles as soon as possible who murdered Evan Briesen, and he wanted to give legitimacy to Calian’s intervention.
Then, the knight became Sekri . I thought that if I found out that it was Tia’s secret, everything could be solved. So I went to see him and confirmed his identity without wasting time.
Instead, I got the smell of blood.
The knight must have died. He swallowed poison and vomited blood right in front of Plantz’s eyes. While saying,
“Don’t overdo it. Next time.”
“I didn’t overdo it.”
Calian said words with very complicated feelings to Plantz, who had really come rolling in a heap of ashes. ”
Thank you for
your hard work.” Plantz closed his eyes for a moment.
“It’s okay.”
“Yes. ”
They said they broke Lennon Briesen’s jaw.
Still, surprisingly, he seemed to be doing really well, and somehow he seemed to be relieved, so Calian just confirmed again that they had decided not to say thank you to each other. And then they went outside and hurriedly headed to Arfia Palace.
Evan Briesen, who was killed by Calian.
The bird of Secretia, who died in front of Plants.
The two deaths were combined to make a key to solve this problem, and to teach Lemaine how to make cat feces to give to Devlan.
