Reborn as the Enemy Prince
Chapter 78

Chapter 16. I, to you (2)

The time when Calian and Silike faced each other.

Marquis Evan Briesen looked around with fierce eyes.

A drop of blood fell from his clenched fist.

One night.

He couldn’t leave his bedroom for an entire night.

It was Evan who learned of Silike’s betrayal during a battle with Alan at the palace yesterday. Because of this, Evan returned to the mansion in a very sensitive state.

While I was spending the day barely controlling my anger, people sent by Lemain visited the mansion.

It was Kaera, the king’s personal guard.

‘Why are you sending Kaela?’

In fact, Evan didn’t feel very good when he heard that the royal knights were visiting. Because it was Kaera, not anyone else. The only time they left Lemain and met someone else was when that someone was very closely related to the king’s well-being.

So, the fact that Lemain sent Kaera to look for Arsene was like saying that he thought the disappearance of the Balkan Vice Commander was related to Lemain’s safety. It also meant that Balkan, which had not yet been officially founded, was considered that important.

‘It’s definitely a show-off visit.’

In other words, by sending Caera’s knight to investigate Evan’s house, Lemain was trying to spread the word about for whom and for what purpose the Balkan army was created.

Since he knew that he had been used in such a planned move, he was not happy about Kaera’s visit.

But the problem did not end there.

“I have received the king’s order to search the mansion.”

The knight standing in front of Evan.

Ren Adrian, the leader of Caera’s knights, said this.

But Ren didn’t even say who he was.

He didn’t even show courtesy towards Evan.

Evan spoke with anger in his voice because he knew very well when Ren was like this.

“You bastard. How dare you think who I am and treat me like a criminal?”

Ren, with the expression on his face when dealing with a criminal who had caused so much damage to Lemaine that Caera had to take action herself, gave a short answer.

“This is the king’s name.”

It wasn’t just Ren who created this atmosphere.

The other knights were all fully armed, and their expressions were all stern.

Only then did Evan realize that his expectations were completely wrong.

Kaera’s visit wasn’t just for show.

At most, I thought he would come to me and ask a few words before leaving. It wasn’t like that.

Soon, Ren gestured towards the knights.

I didn’t even ask for Evan’s permission.

Following Ren’s gesture, the knights began to move in unison.

They must have come looking for a wizard named Arsene Hertz, but the knights searched the entire mansion as if they were looking for a small coin rather than a person.

In the end, Evan couldn’t stand it any longer and let out a roar.

“Are you saying I hid that wizard here?”

Even seeing Evan get angry like this, Ren didn’t flinch. Instead, he only answered briefly, still in an emotionless voice.

“Please go into your room and wait.”

With that one word, two of the knights standing behind Ren came forward. Then he guided Evan to the bedroom. Evan had to be patient not to immediately raise his sword and cut them down.

What was interesting was that the first person Evan thought of in such a situation was Silike, not Lemain.

Because Silike joined hands with Gray.

Because of that, I became entangled in strange rumors.

Because Silike betrayed.

Even after being treated like this by Caera’s knights, he thought he was in a situation where he couldn’t even swing his sword.

“I will never forget what happened today, Silike.”

Evan muttered and gritted his teeth.

The search did not end until the next day.

This was because Evan’s mansion was so large and Kaera’s search was more thorough than expected.

One fortunate thing for Evan was that the place where he hid Lennon was not discovered. The entrance to the basement, which had been well hidden with a special device, seemed not to have been discovered.

“I checked that there is nothing wrong. Please rest.”

Ren left these short words and turned around.

After the knights left, what Evan was left with was a messy mansion and anger.

* * *

This was the exact time when Evan was angry for a long time.

Alan, who was looking out the window with a sullen expression, opened his mouth.

“Is this really the right thing for me?”

Then he rolled his red, bloodshot eyes and let out a long yawn. LeMaine, who clicked his tongue for a moment at Alan’s increasingly careless attitude, found the glasses he had placed on the desk and put them on, answering.

“You sound like you’re full.”

With that said, Alan continued to reply to Lemain, who picked up a document and began reading it.

“I’m suspicious because you never plan on coming.”

“Sir Adrian is a meticulous person.”

Now, Alan was waiting for Ren, the leader of Caera’s knights.

To be more precise, I was waiting for Ren to come quickly so I could go home.

“It’s not that I’m being meticulous, but isn’t it time to worry about whether someone died on the way?”

The afternoon of the previous day. Alan, who was quietly working in his office, felt that more than half of the knights who had been guarding Lemain’s office had disappeared. Because of this, I was surprised and went to Lemain’s office, where Lemain, who had a carefree face, said this.

“I sent Kaera away, so please look after me until she comes back.”

Alan asked Lemain, who had continued to hand over his work to the person who came to educate his son, but was now willing to entrust him with escorting him from time to time.

“Do you intend to destroy the Marquis’ house this time?”

“I explained it was a search.”

“You did. But doesn’t that mean that the number is the number of people willing to destroy someone’s house, rather than the number of people willing to search it?”

“It’s a search meant as a warning. I’m concerned that there will be friction. If something breaks down, it’s inevitable.”

Alan laughed.

“I didn’t know that Your Highness was a person who knew how to vent his anger on someone.”

“I guess I understand now.”

Of course, Ren didn’t know and left, but Arsene was still leisurely playing around at Alan’s house. However, since Arsene was missing on the outside, Lemain initially planned to just play it up and pretend to be looking for Arsene.

Then, a little before Caera’s departure, he changed his mind and sent so many people to thoroughly search the Marquis’ house. As Alan said, it was an expression of anger.

There was only one reason for Lemain to vent his anger.

It was because of the war of words between Alan and Evan during the day.

“No matter how temporary your position may be, you are the commander of the Balkan corps. Since you ignored me and listened to me, I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to tell you what kind of army Balkan is. So I raised the level of the ‘search.’ ”

Of course, under normal circumstances, I would never have been able to use the search as an excuse to send a warning to Evan, but aren’t things a little different now? Therefore, Alan thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to let Lemain know that he was different from before.

“Huh… I understand. Your Majesty said you will come forward and avenge me, so I will stay here until the knights return.”

Without another word, Alan sat down on Lemain’s sofa and waited for Ren.

An hour or two passed like that, and eventually night passed.

The next morning, Ren did not return.

I was starting to get worried that Len might be looking at the cornerstone of Evan’s house.

– smart.

Finally, Ren returned.

It was unclear what he had been searching for all night, but Ren came in with a rather tired face and gave the report to Lemain.

“We couldn’t replace Lord Hertz. I’m sorry.”

Then he held out a piece of paper with something written on it.

“And we confirmed that there was a person trapped in the basement of the mansion. It is believed to be Lennon Brissen.”

This meticulous knight commander opened the entrance to the secret passage, confirmed that Lennon was imprisoned, and then returned it to its original state. Thus, Lennon’s location was discovered without Evan’s knowledge.

I don’t know if it would be of any use, but it was an unexpected income. Therefore, Lemain sent Ren away after thanking him for his hard work.

“I heard you received a viscount title in Riverne.”

The question was about Alan’s title while he was in Riverne. It was a somewhat unexpected question, but Alan nodded and answered without thinking.

“Wherever you go, you are Archmage Allan Manasil, but in Secretia you are also a Baron and in Riverne you are a Viscount.”

Since he was not tied to one country, this was the result of trying to keep Alan by giving him titles wherever he went.

Alan, who actually didn’t pay much attention to things like titles, added with a smile.

“Still, I like Alan Manasil, the teacher of the 3rd Prince Kairis, the most.”

Lemain chuckled at those words and picked up the document he was looking at a moment ago.

“That mouth knows how to say what I like.”

“With a talented mouth, what can’t you do?”

With that answer, Alan slowly got up to go back. Lemain, who glanced at the figure through the documents, turned his eyes back to the documents and said.

“Then, in Kairis, it is Alan Manasillo, the third prince’s teacher and count.”

I don’t know why Evan would have quarreled with Alan for some reason. That is why we are trying to give Alan a title appropriate to his position.

“…Why do you say something like that as if you were talking about the weather on a weekday morning?”

Alan smiled softly and replied:

* * *

Former Queen Aisha did not die.

Does Randel know?

That Silike was involved in Aisha’s death.

Calian, who was thinking about this, soon came to the conclusion that Randel did not know.

This is because through Bern’s memories, he remembered that the relationship between Kairis and Tensil was not particularly bad even after Randel became the king of Tensil.

‘but. If I had known the truth, Randel would have come to my room before Plantz and told me to hold hands.’

Even though he knew the truth, he couldn’t wait for Calian to oust Silike.

So, should I tell Randel about this?

Or should I just leave it alone?

Calian, who had a new problem to worry about, smiled briefly and looked at Silike. And Silike was already glaring at Calian.

So the two spent some time with their eyes fixed on each other.

When the clock’s second hand had rotated about two times, Silike spoke.

“It seems you misunderstood something again.”

At those words, a deep sneer appeared on Calian’s lips. It was a mockery directed at Silike.

“You’re mistaken.”

Calian, who was muttering, burst into laughter.

If Silike herself had seen the facial expression she had made upon receiving Calian’s question a moment ago, she would never have been able to say it was a misunderstanding.

Calian was certain of the cause of Aisha’s death, and Silike knew that Calian would not believe him.

Still, I can’t help but laugh at the fact that I misunderstood.

Calian, who had been laughing for quite some time, looked at Silike with fiercely raised eyes.

“Your unpleasant misconception is that I would have joined hands with someone like Gray Briesen. That is a misunderstanding.”

After saying that, Kalian continued speaking while tapping the table.

“I don’t need it.

People like you.” At those words, Silike’s face turned whiter than the hand that had been holding the letter a moment ago. It was because she had not expected to hear informal language and abusive language from the prince. Whether Silike was shocked or not,

Kali With a pitiful look on his face, An spoke again.

“But judging by the atmosphere when I arrived, it seems that Margrave Brisen, who doesn’t need me, doesn’t need you.” “

Calian. Don’t speak carelessly. “You’re very out of your mind.”

“Not as crazy as you. How can you keep putting my mother in your mouth? “I can’t do that without going out of my mind.”

Calian, who was sitting still and seeing Sillike’s hand growing so strong that he couldn’t go any further, turned his head. Calian looked around the empty greenhouse and opened his mouth to Sillike. .

“Don’t refill the greenhouse. You won’t be here for long.”

Calian stood up.

He looked down at Silike with a cold face and said one last word that left only Calian’s name in Silike’s mind.

“I will show you the end. “Tenny.”
