Reborn as the Enemy Prince
Chapter 340

Chapter 60. If possible, the dream is (5)

Renieri.

A flower that looks like the hem of a pure white dress with multiple layers fluttering in the wind. A pure white flower that blooms and falls only one day a year. A flower with a scent that does not go away even after it has faded.

A strong and beautiful flower.

“A month after my brother was born, Queen Aisha died of illness.”

“That’s what I heard.”

“They said it was actually poisoning and that it was my mother who did it. Is that true?”

A story told by Calian after Silike died. Since I couldn’t remember those words properly, I couldn’t have said it as a reaffirmation.

“yes.”

So Calian just gave a short answer without any other expression.

And he told me a story that Plantz might not know.

“My mother and Whitlin were not related. My mother has a younger brother, and Whitlin appears to be older than my mother.”

I still don’t know exactly who the names on the front door of this house belong to, but at least it’s clear that Freyja and Whitlin are not sisters.

“Siona Hill, the sword master and my mother. And Whitlin. I think they were quite close friends. After that, I don’t know why, but my mother came into the palace using the name Whitlin as her last name.”

Elves did not use surnames except in special cases, and Freya probably did not have a surname either. And Freya used her friend’s name as her own last name.

Despite Calian’s words, Plantz did not show any different expression. After remaining still for a while, he made a low sound. A dry voice resonates slightly in the dusty room.

“The winter of the year that Queen Aisha died, Queen Freya became a concubine, and shortly after, my mother ascended to the position of queen.”

“yes.”

“Then. Hina… is.”

The words that continued as if reading a chronology of common history books piled up in a library paused for a moment.

“It’s June. When Hina was born.”

Just as Plantz cut out Calian’s difficult words, Calian also answered before Plantz could say anything.

Planz closed his eyes for a moment and opened them.

Calian, who was looking at this and tapping the desk several times, spoke in the same dusty voice.

“Whether Whitlin’s husband was involved in Queen Ayesha’s poisoning or simply found out about it, looking at the contents of the letter, it seems correct that he was murdered to silence Queen Ayesha.”

Calian continued his story, saying the last word with a little more emphasis.

“It was Lennon who prepared the poison for Aisha, and Evan was the one who manipulated Lennon.”

“so.”

“It was said that Queen Aisha was the first person who gave poison to Silike. Given the circumstances, it would be correct to say that it was Evan who murdered Whitlin’s husband. It was not Silike.”

“… Why does my brother protect my mother?”

“Does it sound foolish to say that you killed one person instead of three?”

“If not, are you saying it’s fortunate that we’re here?”

“That’s the truth. I’m not being stubborn.”

That’s true.

Silike at that time would not have been directly involved until later. Evan wouldn’t have let that happen. Since Evan didn’t trust Silike, he couldn’t have left the cleanup to Silike, who was probably still ‘clumsy’ in such matters. Because it’s Evan.

“Of course, Silike killed many people. Although not as many as Devlan, the number cannot be compared to the severity of the crime committed. It is true that he was wrong.”

Planz’s eyes close again.

It’s locked again. Renier.

“But that doesn’t mean there’s a need to blame all unclear incidents and pretend they were Sillike’s actions.”

Anyway, even if my whole life goes by, I will never completely forget the scent of Renieri. I’m so smart that I can’t forget it.

I know that it would mean nothing if I told Pea, who had already started to smell that awful scent again the moment he read the letter, that it was not your fault that Hina and Kirie lost their parents and that it had nothing to do with you. In the first place, it was not within the scope of Calian’s judgment.

“If we go to Kairisis, we will meet Siona and we will know more about this matter. If what I thought turns out to be true.”

“I will talk about it.”

To Kirie and Hina.

About what happened to their parents.

“Would you like to do that?”

“I can take responsibility. Even if I can’t apologize.”

Calian nodded.

“All right.”

Kirie and Hina lost their parents in that incident.

It is up to Kirie and Hina to decide whether or not to ask Plantz for help for Brisen’s crime. Therefore, Plantz cannot arbitrarily apologize and say he will replace Briesen, and Kalian cannot interfere.

How was the letter that Whitlin left behind delivered? Who heard that Kirie resembled her father and Hina resembled her mother? Why were they caught up in Evan’s gambling den? How did the two siblings survive all this time?

– Freya Whitlin.

Hina is the meaning of the name. Kyrie. I really didn’t know.

Kalian, who didn’t know because he didn’t ask, wasn’t even a party to this.

All Calian has to do is to hope that Kirie and Hina don’t get too upset, and to avoid using the title ‘brother’s mother’ like he did when he joined hands with Plantz to drive out Silike, Plantz’s immediate concern is Is it just being considerate?

“It looks like my brother is worried again.”

“yes.”

“It’s okay. I’m used to it. It doesn’t matter how much more is revealed in the future.”

I lived a life where even looking at the small snowy world in my hands was connected to Brisen’s evil deeds. I was afraid that if I was harmed by the assassin’s dagger, it would also become a means of Brisen’s, so I lived my life sleeping with a knife under my pillow with which to cut my own life. I got used to those breathtaking days and lived with them.

Calian, who watched Planz’s face for a moment, opened his mouth.

“Are you saying what is familiar and what is irrelevant?”

“Anything.”

Calian did not open his mouth.

I felt like I was going to say that I regretted not killing Evan by cutting off every single bone in his fingers and toes.

Calian, who had been looking at the letter for a while, let out a dry voice.

“Where is Lord Hertz?”

“Downstairs.”

“Let’s go down. It would be better to go back first.”

“I heard you met the mother tree.”

“Later.”

“Why are you putting it off again?”

“I don’t think you should dream about your brother right now. If it’s urgent, I’ll come back and meet you alone.”

Calian, who was looking at Planz who did not respond, continued speaking.

“If possible, dream about it later. Also, don’t figure it all out on your own.”

“Your brother is trying to meddle in my affairs again.”

“… It’s not your business, it’s something to do with me. It’s not about meddling, it’s about protecting.”

“Who knows who.”

“I am your brother.”

“You. Your speaking habits.”

“doesn’t exist.”

Calian stood up.

He then placed the wad of paper in his hand and all three portraits of Freyja in his magic pouch and placed them in his arms.

Plantz did not get up from his seat.

Calian looked down at the top of the head, which was like the top of an acorn fruit that was far from ripe.

“I thought it would be better to quickly replace out the inside story and replace out what the problem was, taking into account whether my brother was suffering or Lord Hertz was drinking again and lying in front of the Serenti Temple instead of Wilhelm’s coffin, but I can’t do it now.”

Plantz frowned.

Calian didn’t care about that dissatisfied face. What’s the big deal about Planz crawling into Renieri alone again and frowning?

“Either I dig up the roots of Danu, or I end up half dead while digging them, and then I just meet Serenti. Somehow, I can figure it out on my own. Brother, I think you’ve forgotten how old you are now, even with all your smarts, but I coaxed you and managed to make him turn green. “Rather than watch the peas wilt, boil, and pickle, I will come alone. I will cook everything by myself until you forget everything you are used to.”

That little brother is now openly looking for beans.

Plantz, who was looking at Calian at the verbal abuse that was not a verbal abuse, let out a long sigh.

I know that Kalian is talking about how he finally revealed what he was trying to hide and told him to get angry and blame her, but Plantz couldn’t do that. Whether you’re angry or resentful, you have to bring out what’s hurting you to make room for it to heal, but as soon as you face this incident, you try to forget it all and hide it again, which is why you’re doing that.

I was struck again by a familiar memory and without realizing it, I went back to that time. Instead of putting it out there, I tried to swallow it tightly by packaging it up as resignation.

“Okay. Go back.”

“yes.”

“Come again. Together.”

“I don’t like it.”

“Not yet. Later. When it’s okay.”

Instead of answering, Calian looked at Planz blankly.

“Because I understand.”

“lie.”

“Speak informally. Speak informally. A bit.”

Calian, who didn’t seem to care much about the irritated voice, immediately nodded. After that, I saw Planz stand up and walk out of the room.

Plantz also took a few steps.

And then I walked out the door, following the path Calian had just walked out.

however.

– Paaaaaa!

A dazzling light arose.

Just like the day before when he suddenly disappeared with Serjane and Adelia, flashes of light came from all directions.

Plantz, unable to withstand the bright light that made it impossible to open his eyes, eventually closed his eyes. Through my eyelids that closed of their own accord, I saw Calian turning back, but I couldn’t open my eyes.

After a while, Planz felt that the light pouring in from behind his closed eyes had quieted down, and he slowly lifted his eyelids. And then I saw it.

dream.

A dream I had that morning. A dream where I wandered alone in a place where there was nothing but light.

I saw again what I had encountered in that dream.

Plantz, who had been reaching out for a moment, was about to take a step forward but stopped.

– Created by your life.

The wind circling my ears spoke.

Plantz quietly closed his eyes.

Like that dream.

A space with no one and only light. In a place like that.

– Look at the tragedy.

Because I knew I was left alone.

“……Kalian.”

There was no answer back.

Like that dream.

* * *

Calian quietly lowered his eyes.

Minesias.

A purple flower trapped in ice catches my eye.

“… Danu.”

After the light faded, I opened my eyes and found myself standing in a familiar place.

The place I stepped on when I first entered this village. Danu moved Kalyan there.

I hear someone running hurriedly. It’s different from the sound of Planz’s footsteps. It would be Arsene. Then, Planz. now.

“What are you doing?”

Danu did not behave like this when he first met Kalyan. I first asked to meet Kalian through Grand Elder Narzan, and Kalyan went to see him. And then we met.

It is true that he came to see Danu this time too.

But I will go back without meeting you. I have not prepared my heart yet, so I will come back. We talked like that.

Danu probably doesn’t know why he came, so there’s no way he couldn’t have heard the conversation we just had.

-There’s something you need to know.

As if to prove Kalian’s thoughts.

Danu delivered the answer. Strangely enough.

– So I called.

Arsene came next to me and said something, but I couldn’t hear him properly. Calian took a deep breath and pointed somewhere with his finger.

Outside the elf village.

Go out there. That’s what it said.

Because I don’t want to kill Arsene by mistake.

Arsene, who saw Calian’s face, nodded a few times and went out. Kalian, who had confirmed that there was no one left in the village, asked again.

“Why did you forcibly grab a person who was just trying to leave to tell you something?”

“result.”

An answer came from an unknown place.

“What are the results?”

“Of choice.”

“What do you mean by choice?”

Calian raised his head for a moment and looked at a corner of the sky and asked quietly.

“… Was it Brother Planz who used the axis of time?”

“He chose it.”

Kalian showed no particular reaction to that.

It’s a question I’m no longer curious about.

Now all I was curious about was the reason, and who it was was no longer important.

“So. Are you showing me the consequences of choosing to use the axis of time? To my brother.”

“Yes.”

“What is the result?”

“The world. A place that is broken, twisted and stopped.”

“After the axis of time turns. Not the place I live in now, but after Bern dies. Are you talking about the world after the axis of time moves?”

“okay.”

The red eyes look downward again.

Danu continued.

“Something that shouldn’t have happened happened. Time went back. It defied death and everyone came back to life. The day was left as it was and everything stopped. It was twisted. Something that shouldn’t have happened happened.”

“What we wanted to know was the cause, not the effect.”

“The reason I want to show you is for vigilance. So that you can see the results of what happened and stand upright.”

I understood what Danu intended.

I understood why this was done.

This is not to say that he understood and accepted what Danu did, just like Kalian understood Planz. ‘Understanding’ means that one understands what Danu means.

Now Danu was trying to show the world after the axis of time had turned.

Everything that was ruined by that incident.

Rather than why Planz tried to defy time, what happened to the world after he did so?

“I want to share the consequences of the choices my older brother made that day to my current older brother. To someone who has no intention of doing the same thing. To a child who is not yet 20 years old.”

“After all, we are the same person.”

“Are you blaming me?”

“It’s just a warning and advice. Don’t let your wandering last long. Stand upright.”

“You’re good at playing with words. If you’re not blaming, there’s no need to warn or give advice. In the end, because you’re blaming, aren’t you making up a good excuse and calling the wrong kid and scolding him? By showing him something that didn’t even happen. You were at fault this time. “Don’t do it. You shouldn’t do the same thing, so don’t wander and come to your senses quickly. Isn’t that really blaming?”

Danu sees the future. I know the past. live in the present

So you can be concerned and worried. You can try to prevent a bad future by using the most effective method you think you can.

“You watched when it happened, but you told me I didn’t have to comply. You just watched, and then you warned my brother. Is that it?”

So that Kalyan doesn’t hesitate any longer, I bid farewell to the ‘past’ and gather my thoughts so that I don’t waste any more time. It’s all in the past anyway, so let’s forget about it now.

So that you can properly prepare for the future.

To prevent Plants from neglecting further, remember what happened in the ‘past’ and take responsibility for the right reasons. So as not to touch the axis of time that has reappeared again.

So that you don’t repeat the same thing again.

So, what was done to Kalian was also done to Plantz.

okay. can do.

okay. Because I’m not human.

Because there is no malicious intent. Because that’s just Danu’s way.

“…… why.”

* * *

So.

whatever.

* * *

So. whatever.

Because that’s Danu’s way. what. whatever.

“You. Why.”

Other than Evan, who killed Kirie and Hina’s parents.

Other than Silike, who killed the mother of the 3rd Prince Kairis.

Other than Old Calian’s second brother, who is now irreversible.

The person whom Mother Tree is blaming.

The person who committed a crime that has not yet occurred. Mad King Planz.

and.

The victim of a crime the person committed but did not commit.

“…… me.”

A living, breathing person who remembers his sins and has not forgotten them.

Just one person.

The only victim. The only person who can blame him.

“me.”

okay. me.

“I.”

That’s me.

Whether it’s Danu, Sispanian, or Serenti, they’re all gone and me.

“I said it didn’t matter… I did.”

A red sword appeared in front of Calian.

Next to it and next to it. The swords that were made one by one came to mind. The red sword that floated as if it knew no end was called out as if it knew no limit.

Dozens and hundreds of red swords stayed in the air.

There were overwhelmingly red swords everywhere.

An ancient being who presumptuously intervened.

– But you. this time. No matter what you replace out. There is no need to conform.

– that.

Because of unwanted consideration, I was so angry that I didn’t want to leave even a piece of my heart behind. Chimi got angry regardless of the blood.

– I will decide that myself.

I got angry, remembering my past conversation with Danu.

“… I said I would just live. I said I would take care of it whether that bastard, my brother, was the same bastard as that bastard or a different bastard, and whether he tried to do the same thing again or not. I said it didn’t matter. I said I didn’t care. .”

Anger at unwanted consideration becomes murderous.

Red rain poured down.

It crashed down towards the ground.

“I said it doesn’t matter! Me!”

The redness of someone who has crossed over from death and lives a new life divides the black night.

– Quaaaaaaaaaa!

The earth rang.

The earth cried.
