Herscherik (Reincarnated Prince Series)

Hershelik was expecting a sudden visitor that day.

"Hershey, get out of my way.

"Brother Mark, how are you?

Hershelik, informed by Kro that his brother was coming, rushes to clean up the documents scattered in his room. Even though I can clean it up, I just stuck it in the next study with Oran and hid it, and the idea that if I can't see it, there's nothing wrong with cleaning it up is common with previous lives.

"You're doing a lot of things again.

"……… That's not true, is it?

When he sees his face, he answers his brother like that, Hershelik looking in the direction of the day after. Marx is out of his nature, and he has a lot of help during Operation Tiger Hole, so he can't hide it well.

Marx leaks a sigh as if to Hershelik, who deflects his gaze.

"It's more evidence than anything to get out of sight. Just put that aside and get to the point. Come in, Will.

William entered the room when Marx called. My brother, who has a beautiful face, seems to be even colder today.

"…… Brother William?

It is unusual for my brother, who for some reason hates me, to come to his room. I mean, it's the first time William's been visiting.

"Utel's medical condition has deteriorated.

"Huh?"

Hershelik solidifies to his brother, who cut to the point without saying hello. And I found that the words penetrated my head while at the same time drawing my own blood.

"Utel, your brother?

"Oh. Today was the day the Archbishop of the Church would treat him, but he didn't show up, and I got in touch with him, but he refused. And I've been telling you to send me to the cathedral if you want my help. A messenger from the church told me to give you this.

Crowe receives the letter that William took out, and when he cuts the seal, passes it to Hershelik.

Hershelik reads the letter given to him at first reading and lays his eyes down.

The contents were very simple.

If you want to help Utel, come tonight to the chapel behind the cathedral of the church on the outskirts of the castle town.

In such a case, only the leaders shall be in charge. If they sent the Knights or the Police Department, it said that Euter's treatment was refused, and that Shilo, who was supposed to be one of them, and for some reason there was no life for Gene.

What can be predicted from the content is that Shilo, who was thought to be on the church side, was apparently only being used by them. As for Shiro, the discomfort he had felt so far was dispelled, but Hershelik's heart never cleared.

"Mr. Shiro, Gene......"

(I had no idea the Church would take such hard means.

I knew the church was moving something. That's why I was in the middle of getting ready. But they moved faster than that.

(But why would they take Gene?

That's where Hershelik didn't know. Just an unpleasant prediction in the corner of my head makes my expression look worse.

"... you knew the church was after something and contacted us.

William's chilled voice drew back Hershelik, who was sinking into his thoughts.

"…… Yes.

Hershelik answers William's words with plenty of time between them.

The church approached the royal family for something. I didn't know what the purpose was, but this move by the Church, which was supposed to be non-interference in the state and politics, was suspicious. On the face of it, I worry about Utel's health, but I can't accept it honestly.

"You knew that, but you didn't let us know.

"…… that.

"I don't want to hear any excuses.

William sharply blocks Hershelik's words. Hershelik swallowed the words that were about to come out.

I didn't want to get involved. Even Marx, who was already involved in the last incident, is dangerous. I didn't think I could risk my family any more for my own wishes. That's why the church that came into contact with my brothers asked Crowe to look into it more than necessary.

"That's right."

Stand as Oran shelters Hershelik.

Oran knows. Hershelik was more alert than usual when the church side came into contact. Even if there is no church matter, Hershelik is visiting Utel without putting it down for three days, except when he goes away.

Hershelik's kindness about not wanting to worry extra, but that shouldn't be enough to blame.

"This is a royal conversation. Keep your squire quiet.

William silences Oran in a nutshell as he tries to make an explanation instead of Hershelik.

Oran can only shut up if he says so too. I look at Marx for help, but he just shook his head to the side too.

"Answer me, Hershelik.

"…… Excuse me.

"Will Utel be cured if I apologize? Can this state be broken?

Hershelik bites his lips. My brother was right, and even if I apologized here, I didn't think things would turn out better.

"You think you can do everything alone?

"I don't think so!

Hershelik understands his powerlessness. Even though I don't have any abilities, I have a wish to fulfill. I'll do anything for it.

"I am…………!

Hershelik distorts his face so much that he seems to cry so much that he always uses a single name with me in front of everyone that he even loses it. But the words that followed were suddenly blocked by the sound of an open door.

"Brother, is it time to stop bullying Hershelik?

Hershelik stopped at the voice. Then slowly point your face in the direction of your voice. There was a person standing there who could not have been there.

"Brother Utel............?

Earlier William said his medical condition had deteriorated. But instead of falling, my brother, who appeared in front of me, looked better than when I was visiting him.

"Damn, I want you to do something about your emotional and inversely proportional facial expressions because how cute and worrying your youngest brother is.

Hershelik rushes over to his brother, who shrugs his shoulders.

"Brother Utel!

"Ah, but I agree with Brother Will.

Utel slaps him in the head at his younger brother after he rushes over. And I stroked my head as it was.

"Remember Hershelik relies on other people, or rather, butlers and knights there, to believe. Especially since my older brother is such a messy race that Hershelik can't rely on me.

"Utel, shut up for a second.

Like William said shin. There were a lot of things I wanted to ask around in Hershelik, but I've decided what I want to hear the most.

"Brother Utel, what's your body!?

My brother was so broken that he could not walk because the body of the magic and magic vessel was not balanced. But now I'm walking on my own feet.

"Hmm? I can't say I'm fine, but I'm fine.

Utel continued his words as he stroked Hershelik's head.

"Originally, I knew that my magic was too high to keep up with the growth of the vessel. But if wizards consume magic all the time, it's no problem. By the way, my specialty is puppet magic with manipulative magic. Puppet magic is generally not a good image, so I haven't made it public.

"No, because normally humans in that state can't be magically caught, right? You're special.

Marx says in a tone of mixed emotions. If you look at it, William is also nodding, so Hershelik understood that Utel is special.

"Well, you're not as tough as you used to be. I noticed that Hershelik and the others were moving a lot when I was sick and cured by a summer cold.

At first, I was busy applying wind magic and eavesdropping on stories in the outer palace. Because there is nothing to do, if the magic is consumed, Hershelik and his leaders accidentally steal a lot of conversations.

"That's where the church came in contact. Looks like Hershelik and the others were struggling with their church-side opponents. Think it's just fine.

The only thing that kept Hershelik and the others secret was that he didn't want to make weird moves and get caught up with the church, and he was waiting for contact from Hershelik and the others.

"Yes, what is it? Your body's okay, isn't it? Good............"

"You wouldn't be angry any more if you were reassured with such a pretty face.

Tickles and Utel laughs, and when he stops stroking Hershelik, he takes a small bag out of his pocket.

"This is the medicine that the non-Archbishop gave me to be healthy.

"Medicine!?

What I'm reminded of is a case of medicine from last year. It is true that the medicine is one that strengthens the body. But it is the opposite of health. Looking at Hershelik's expression, he still flaunts his shoulder with the kanji that

"I didn't drink it pretending to be suspicious, but you were right. Then this is for Brother Mark, the leading magician. Analysis, please.

"Yeah, this makes the drug thing extraordinary. And the medicine and the church were completely connected.

Hershelik nods at Marx's words. In a case last year, it was not possible to pursue it until Daiyuan. Because there was no evidence. Now he's dead, and the last words of Baron Almin, who was selling drugs, were not lies.

"So let's send a knight straight to the church for the crime of threatening the royalty.

Pong, and Utel smiles refreshingly with a slap of his hand. But what you're saying is too thoughtful.

"…… Utel, calm down.

To a half-eyed William, Utel smiles and continues his words.

"I am calm enough. What that Archbishop Abao is doing is ignoring the insanity of the country and the Church and even blackmailing the royalty. Or first and foremost, why do I have to let my cute youngest brother go to a dangerous place? Clearly, that frigid smell. Oh, my God. Archbishop, you'd better dispose of it quickly.

What you are saying is true to the opposite of your expression is true, but unforgiving. Hershelik found out that the Utel statue in him collapsed.

(If I thought he was sick and weak, he was actually a poisonous tongue prince...)

I have a bad mouth, but what I'm saying is very theoretical and correct, so it's hard to argue. Hershelik swears to his heart that he will never turn Utel against his enemy.

"Utel, it's not pests or garbage..."

Press the temple and William will have a headache. To William's words, Utel said, "Pests are better just without wisdom. It's easy to dispose of.," he said.

"Excuse me for talking to you.

A little Lenette glanced at his face through the door, which was empty. I guess I'm going back to school. It remains a uniform.

And I looked at Utel and looked at him.

"I'm scared to hear some Utel crackling poison tongue.

"Hmm? Can I help you, Brother Lenette?

"I'm sorry, I didn't say anything.

Lenette trembles her shoulders victoriously at Utel, who smiles.

"Lenette? Or what happened to Arya and Cecily?

I also find Arya and Cecily, where Marx is behind Lenette, to encourage them to come in. Soon the princes and princesses who are now in the royal castle are assembled. For this reason, the room that should be large enough felt small.

"I am a customer to Hershelik.

Cecily pushes out a hidden figure in her shadow. That was my own fiancée candidate who had slightly soiled her clothes with sand and was also swollen after her face cried.

"Violetta?"

"Master Hershelik."

Violetta rushes to Hershelik. And embraced with that momentum, the luxurious Hershelik stepped on the bump but prevented William from slipping around and falling behind his subtle back.

Turn your gaze and thank William and speak to Violetta, who cries with her own chest.

"What's wrong, Violetta? Isn't Gene with you?

The moment she heard her sister's name, more tears passed on to Violetta's cheek.

"Your sister, your sister...!

While forgiving Violetta, Hershelik looks up to heaven for the information he has heard.

The information she brought proved that the letter from the church was free of lies and falsehoods. And I had a bad feeling about it.

(Does Barbasse easily throw away even his own daughter... and the church was still connected.

From what I've heard, we're in a position to use each other, and it's not the joint front that saved us.

"Don't cry, Violetta. Be sure to bring Gene back.

I laugh calmly at my expression in an effort to reassure Violetta. And deposited Violetta with Cecily. Hershelik turned to his brothers.

"As they requested, I'll go.

"I can't do the Knights or the Policing. But the Kingsguard Knights can get it out. Can't you do that?

Even if the minister turns his hand, the Kingsguard Knights under the direct authority of the king can move it by order of his father, the king. Hershelik shook his head to Marx, who said so.

"You may be harmed by Gene or Mr. Shiro. First, we give priority to the lives of the two of us.

"Another girl named Jean is Barbasse's daughter, right?

Everyone except Violetta understood the meaning of William's words. And Hershelik found out that all those here who knew what the word meant were listening to that story from their father.

After listening, they all stayed in the castle and felt the same way about themselves.

Barbasse falsely took the life of their own grandfathers, uncles, and their oldest sister, who was supposed to be the first princess, as a disease. I was wondering if there was any point in helping the daughter of a man who could be the enemy.

"The Minister has nothing to do with it. Both Gene and Violetta are my loved ones.

Hershelik answers William's question clearly.

If a parent sins, does the child also have to bear the sin? Hershelik replies no.

And a few months later, after talking and making contact with them and finding out who they were, Hershelik was ruthless enough to disconnect them easily.

Marx nodded at Hershelik's words.

"Okay. But it's an hour. If you guys break into the church for an hour, I'll take the Kingsguard Knights with me and William.

That was the critical compromise Marx could concede.

"Yes, I'm sorry about what I said.

Hershelik lowers his head. And I saw my own leaders.

"Cro, oran, get ready. Deliver Violetta before heading to the church cathedral.

"Isn't it dangerous to bring Mr. Violetta back to the minister? Wouldn't it be safer to stay in the castle?

Tell Cecily to blame him as he strokes Violetta's head. But Hershelik shakes his head and denies the words.

"The minister is a heavy town in the country. It is more dangerous to leave Violetta in the castle like this, distrusted and forced by the minister.

It was impossible to say in front of Violetta that there was a chance that it would be erased.

In fact, the man easily gave Gene's life to the church.

"I have an idea. I will make sure that the minister is not able to get his hands on it even if he is suspicious.

So leave it to me, Cecily snorted reluctantly when Hershelik said.

Confirming that the conversation has come together, Hershelik's leaders leave the room to get ready. Marx also took William to his father's place.

"I'm in my room because I'm supposed to be down. I left the puppet doll behind for once, but it would be troublesome if I found out.

Finally, he left the room with a refreshing smile as he prepared to snitch at church headquarters.

Utel also went back, leaving Hershelik and Violetta and the triplets behind.

"Speaking of which, why did your brothers know about me?

I was convinced that they were listening to my conversation about Utel, but these triplets didn't know how to find out about me.

Or I'm here flat out now and without surprise.

"Well, we didn't know the details, like Utel. But I found out you were sneaking out of town.

Lenette answered naturally.

"If you check the rumors and timing from there, you can predict what Hershelik is doing. And there were many times. Right, Prince of Light?

Arya giggles and adds.

I mean, they were stumbling upon me leaving for Operation Tiger Hole with Oran and Cro, and I was convinced that I was the prince of the rumored light right after that, right?

(Myself, unexpectedly missing. And maybe I was watching my brothers sweetly.

Hershelik was somewhat sad but over forty years old if he added his age from his previous life. They are more than twice as old as the princes around them. That's why I was trying to protect them. But if you think about it, they're not just kids who are protected all the time. Grow up and think for yourself.

"I've been very worried about you every time, haven't I? I tried to get people to think I could count on you for a little bit, and I tried to show my strength in that practical exercise, but I failed.

Cecily says as she prepares her tea. That's why I was convinced that there was too much skinship.

"…… I'm sorry.

"No, it's another word at times like this, isn't it?

Cecily said as she offered tea to Hershelik, who apologized. Hershelik thought and nodded.

"Thank you very much.

The triplets nodded with a smile at Hershelik's words.

The time when the sun went down and the lights lit up on the street lights. With Hershelik and Violetta on board, a carriage headed by Crowe arrived at the Marquis of Barbasse. Oran is riding alone and walking side by side with the carriage.

"This, Your Highness! Looks like Violetta bothered you..."

Barbasse appeared as Hershelik gave Violetta a hand and helped her get down.

"No, she came to see me. Come on Violetta."

Violetta looks anxiously at him and holds his hand when Hershelik urges him. Hershelik smiled gently at her like that. Violetta nodded at that smile, lining up next to her own father away from Hershelik.

And Hershelik opened his mouth.

"Minister Barbasse, I accept your engagement to Violetta.

The minister opens his eyes to words he would not have predicted.

"…… is that true?

Hershelik smiled at the minister who turned his suspicious eyes.

"I will bring you a formal letter at a later date. So…………………"

Hershelik's expression changed. His mouth remains smiling, but his eyes sharpen and his gaze shoots through the minister.

"If anything happens to my fiancée, you take all the blame, Marquis.

I'm not just checking that. It's restraint and blackmail.

The minister will wonder why Violetta went to herself, and also silently. And if he decides it's to his detriment at all, he puts his hands on even his real daughter. Like Gene.

So Hershelik officially made Violetta his own fiancée. If anything happens to Violetta... her royal fiancée, she will be thoroughly investigated and punished. That does not change whether you are a parent, a grand aristocrat or a minister.

To put it bluntly, "If anything happens to Violetta, don't just do it. It's a threat."

"... I understand.

Turning a sharp glance at Barbasse's words, Hershelik nods back to his gentle expression.

"See you later, Violetta.

"Yes, Hershelik………"

And Hershelik turns back on his heel. The Hershelik was followed by the leaders.

"Come on.

"As you wish, my lord.

To Hershelik's words, the leaders answered with their voices.
