How to Live as the Enemy Prince

< Chapter 3. Nice to meet you (3) >

I waved my hand, smiling at people on the platform.

The prince's role was all there was to it, and Khalian didn't want to do any more. Soon, Le Maine thanked those who had found her and said a long hello. The order proceeded, including giving knighthood to several civilian soldiers, promoting some noble positions, and demoting the territory.

After the fair, Calian waves again to greet you and returns to the palace.

Of course, I knew that throughout the course of the event people were staring at themselves with a loud voice. After making my decision, I thought it would be obvious.

- Black hair, red eyes.

However, people who were impressed by Kalian's perfection did not expect anything to be found in his appearance and put into his mouth.

After returning to the room, Kalian eats without leaving any lunch for Jan. After promising Jan to do so, I haven't broken it yet. And I changed into new clothes.

I insisted on a simple design because it was a dress for tea time, not a banquet. Instead, I decided to do just one more ornamental pin, in Merlin's opinion.

'Instead, the smallest one.'

Along with that, Calian chose pins with three thin lines of chained collars on each side of the shirt, with pendants the size of fingernails in the middle of the shortest chain.

Other accessories were too glamorous in Calian's standards, so they decided to do only those pins when wearing other clothes.

No matter how the aftermath of that shirt pin spread, Kalian didn't expect it.

After finishing the preparations in time, Calian is back out of Chermill Palace and onto the wagon. Then he said with a white face.

"I'm completely out of my mind."

"Yeah. I think I'm even busier this year."

Jan grins his head with his face, halfway reduced than usual.

Jando must have had a long day in the war to help Callian. At least the luncheon was cancelled.

Now it was the Senho Cove that had just had dinner with Birch Brissen. I was going to have tea time with several people there. Of course, the Kalian and the princes were supposed to sit quietly while greeting each other, so I didn't have to doze off.

Calian suddenly asked, thinking about the nobles who are about to meet you.

"Jan. I thought you said your family was in Cairysis?"

Although most of the nobles of Cecretia lived in their territory, there were quite a number of nobles who lived in the capital, Cairosis, for the majority of the year, with their Territory Manager in Cairos.

Jan's family seemed the same.

I once told Callian that my family lives in Cairysis. Suddenly, Yan's eyes turned round in the family story.

"You remember, Prince. My sister and father are at home, and the rest of my family live in Cairosis."

"Are you coming to the palace today?"

Jan smiles awkwardly this time, as she didn't remember it herself, since it belonged to the old Kalian.

"Yes · · · · · · · · If you have an invitation, you will come."

It was a rhetorical answer.

He seemed reluctant to say.

The acolyte who works in the royal palace of Cairys does not reveal her castle. I sometimes use a nickname or pseudonym.

Since the first time I entered the palace, I carefully examined my real name and whether I could be trusted, I often did not use my real name afterwards. Many of the nobles who work as servants and maids were children of noblewomen or wives or nameless families, so they do not want to refer to their origins.

Khalian nods and asks if Jan thinks there's such a situation.

Shortly after, a wagon enters the front of the Senho Coffin.

Calian clears out the wagon, clearing out the look on his face that had changed comfortably while he was with Jan.

Once more, I walked to the banquet hall where the nobles would be, and I nodded once to the knight standing at the door.

The knight shows his example to Kalian and opens the banquet hall.

"Prince Callian Lane Cairis, here you go!"

Those who did not need to intervene in the crowd of the square to see the king, therefore, the eyes of those who waited for tea time of 2 o'clock in the Senho Cave were drawn to one place.

At the same time, I had the same thought in everyone's head.

'So the rumors are true.'

Central aristocrat.

They were a group of high-ranking nobles. Getting that much information means it's fast.

There were two kinds of news they came across:

that Plants came to the venue drunk, and that only a few people had seen him staring at one person as promised.

- Black hair, red eyes.

- A third prince who resembles the Sispanian.

After the event, the nobles laughed when word came out of people's mouths.

I just cut my hair and revealed the color of my eyes, and it was spread for fun by people who like to make up horses with just hair and eye color. I had no idea that Kalian would be completely different.

So, as Calian walked in with the knight's cry, I was shocked as if the sky were upside down. Everyone begins to look at Calian's petty movements with frightening eyes.

Even though he had not yet peeled the boy's womb, he gave a strong impression of his handsome face and bright red eyes.

I was already smiling at the royal family. I was amazed at the elegance of every step. They knew best, not just by practicing.

'When did that happen?'

Kalian, by himself, has proven himself to be a royal Cairys. So it was not uncommon for people to think of a Sispanian with the same color hair and eyes.

It wasn't just that.

It was strange what Kalian was wearing.

A tight blue jacket that lowers to the bottom of the knee was worn with the same color trousers and white shirt. The elongated jacket had no embellishment other than buttons. That's why the small jewelry around the neck of the shirt was very noticeable.

A pendant on a shirt pin.

It was a ruby that illuminated exactly the same light as the two eyes Kalian had been hiding. It was a color I would never have picked if it were the original Khalian.

'You seem to be saying you don't want to live in hiding anymore.'

'Of course.'

They didn't realize that Calian was so impressed with the expression "bloodshot" by Plants that he was completely unaware that his eyes and rubies were the same color.

The nobles look cool in their backs, knowing the myriad clothes worn by Kalian and Ruby's intentions. Then I quickly greeted him, realizing that I hadn't shown him an example yet. It was a completely different look from before.

After all, Kalian appears transformed into a flawless prince. He looks at the nobles' eyes one by one. Then he smiled slightly and replied.

"Nice to meet you."

Callian greets you like that, and then sits down straight away.

It was not a great rhetoric. I felt relaxed in the short words that came out blankly.

One word, and this time, that short speech caused a problem.

"Greetings? It's like I've never seen you before. What the hell does this mean? '

Soon, the nobles began to try to extract the hidden meaning of Calian's greetings with their silent eyes.

'Oops.'

Callian blames himself.

He forgot to greet the nobles when he thought he would be gazed at, but he was too burdened.

"It's all right, Prince. That's why I'm saying this. It means nothing. '

Jan relieves Kalian with a small voice behind her.

If either of you had understood the situation correctly, none of this would have happened if the Cairys' Ruby value had exploded and the procession to find the Sispanian nest that had been empty for 500 years had gone crazy.

In addition, there was no rush in the heart of anyone watching over Calian.

* * *

Summer night in Siegfried.

It was one of the most famous concerts left by the famous violinist and composer Olive Wrench of the Libern Kingdom. The wrench that was invited to the royal palace of Cairys was also a song that expressed the feelings I felt when I looked at Siegfried's coffin.

Known as the most beautiful building in the royal palace of Cairys, the Siegfried Coffin was a huge pumpkin-shaped banquet hall made of platinum-plated columns and crystal walls. Because of this, the night when the magic lamp lit up, the whole building seemed like a spectacular jewel.

Many people used to shed tears of joy and sadness in the violin tune that captured the joy of facing the glorious Siegfried Coffin on a summer night and the solitude of the hidden palace behind it.

'You must go to Siegfried Coffin if you are going to play music.'

So I came and went among the musicians like this.

In fact, the name of Siegfried Canyon was derived from the Siegfried Duke, who is also known as the Dual Knights Family of Cairys, alongside the Marquis of Brissen. He won the castle of Duke Quitros Horn Siegfried, one of the eight heroes of the First Family and the Second Coven War.

However, since the Quitros died in the middle of the summer night, it is said that the Duke of Siegfried considers the song more unusual than the Palace of Cairis.

And now.

That famous song was playing in that beautiful Siegfried coffin. The people who were at the banquet hall began to listen to the music as they lowered their words.

"Just in time for this song to be played! That's why you can't love me!"

The man who has just arrived at the entrance of the Siegfried Coffin said with a big smile.

A loud voice.The various nobles who recognized him approached with great pleasure.

"Welcome, Siegfried Ball."

An extraordinary man, one of the five sod masters of the continent, the only Duke in Cairys, runs a seesaw, humming the melody and playing the violin. Everyone in the crowd burst into laughter.

"I'm more curious about the ball's violin as you gesture."

"Take a vacation and come down. I'd be happy to play it for you."

"Very well. I look forward to your violin skills."

"Of course. Some say Siegfried can't use a sword, but some say Siegfried can't use a violin." "

"Really? That's a funny story."

After talking about it at the entrance, the sound and appearance were all conveyed to Kalian, who was on Raven's back and headed to Siegfried's coffin.

"He's a delightful man. Name."

Calian opens his mouth with a cheerful smile.

Yan stares at the same person with a grumpy look on his face, and replies to Calian searching for his memory.

"This is Duke Slayman Horn, Duke Siegfried's household, Prince."

To the south of Cairys lies an empty Sispanian nest, and Siegfried's territory has a very large area centered around it.

As the only duchess, even the Siegfried family had enough interest in the throne, but they had spent over 500 years as one of their commitment to defending the Siegfried territory.

I don't know how impressed I was with this lofty Duke after hearing such stories from the Sezards in Bern.

"Yes, I did."

He was exactly the type of person that Kalian liked.

Of course, their actions cannot be attributed to their loyalty to the king. But it was a long-standing belief that captivated Kalian, not loyalty.

"That violin, I want to hear it too."

Calian looks at the duc with loving eyes.
