How to Live as the Enemy Prince

< Chapter 17. The Step (3) >

A huge bang erupts from the palace of Cairys.

Nearby people flock to the square.

Evan Brissen's wagon, which was entering the mansion, pauses for a moment.

Uriah leaps to the rooftop of the Wizard's Association building.

Melpire and Teshid stand up at the same time and run to the window.

And Arsen.

You wrap the robe around your shoulder, Deputy Commander Balkan.

"I will show you the end. What do we do now?"

The bridegroom turns her head to hear Silica's recitation.

The Maid of Honor didn't understand who she was talking to. However, I could see a small smile on Silica's mouth watching the dark and black smoke.

The bridegroom was with Silica all day, so she had to watch everything she just did.

'What on earth made you do this?'

The servant master, who had thought about what had happened so far, held my hands to calm his trembling hands.

After the Knight Leader of Raon visited Silica a moment ago.

Silica went into the reception room alone when she was all set. As the handmaiden told me, the Knight Leader of Raon is waiting for Silica there.

He showed Silica an example and handed her a black box that had been prepared. And I opened my mouth with worrying eyes.

"Dangerous goods. I don't know what you're looking for."

"Me."

So Silica, who stopped the knight commander's words, opened the black box for a moment to check its contents, then took one out and closed the lid. And he said with a expressionless face, looking at the knight commander.

"Whatever you have received from him,"

The Knight Captain of Raon flinches his shoulders slowly across his head.

"· · · · · · · · No. You have not received anything."

Even as he was confronting Silica, he continued to doubt whether he had made a good choice.

- The Queen of Silica's trajectory is so serious that the knights Karen and Raon will no longer have to follow her orders.

I kept thinking about what was written in Evan's letter.

Since Karen knew that she would definitely follow Evan's words, she was Laon's director who came to see Silica in a moment of greed.

From the moment I met Silica on Sunday, I couldn't help thinking I'd made the wrong choice. However, Silike, who asked me to bring him something strange, seemed to be feeling uneasy even though it was clear that he intended to cut off his tail.

"Good."

Silica, speaking in a light tone, rises from her seat with a black box. Then you place the box on the side table next to the reception door and open your mouth to him.

"Wait a minute. I'll be back soon."

Then he left the reception room without even listening to his answer.

So, Silica, who left the Knight Leader of Raon, saw the bridegroom and maids waiting for her outside. Silica's eyes turned to the maid who became a particularly visible face. It was the same maid who teased my hands during hair trimming.

"Come here."

She was terrified.

I couldn't straighten my shoulders. Her lips were chapped with dried blood and puffy bruises on her cheeks. Two bullies made her face look like this.

Silica who saw it said in a loud voice.

"Oh, my God. My hands are too much."

It's like admitting your mistake.

Everyone who was there looked at Silica.

Silica smiles as if touching a small beast in her hand. Even the bride and groom couldn't figure out what was on their minds.

· · · · · After so long of observing silica,

"Do me a favor."

Silica, who said this, held the bead in her hand a little while ago.

"Take it to the box at the entrance of the reception room and bring it out."

Recently, Silica hardly spoke to her servants, as well as to the Grand Chamberlain. Occasionally, when the mouth opened, there was a poisonous voice that seemed to rip the hearts of the listeners apart.

So for a long time, the maid for this kind face and gentle voice could not refuse Silica's request.

"Yes, my queen. I understand."

Satisfied silica grabs the servant girl's hand with the bead.

and gave me a little bit of strength.

- Click.

An uneasy voice is heard in the servant's hands.

When the maid who felt it looked at Silica, she smiled as if it was nothing.

"Come on. Let's go inside."

Then I immediately turned around and walked out.

A step without any haste, in the same shape as always.

* * *

Remain's head is raised when he hears the explosion of the Heitian palace.

The sound of rushing footsteps is heard from all over the Arfia Palace, and the Knights of Caera surround Remain.

The window of the Oval Office of the Arfia Palace leads to the entrance of the Royal Palace.

Hence, the Palace of Heicia, where Silica is staying, is not seen in Remain's office.

"Here we go."

You close your eyes and bury yourself deep in the chair with a silent muttering face that Le Maine is really tired. I couldn't find any signs of being surprised by the explosion, trying to determine the cause, or looking outside.

Raul, the Grand Chamberlain, who had always been calm, stepped out in surprise, and opened his mouth with a cautious voice.

"Your Grace, I'll have Lord Manasil brought to you."

"What's wrong with Lord Manasil? I thought my escorts were all here, but I had another escort."

Len, who couldn't find anything to say for a moment, shuts up. Remain faceless, Lemaine says.

"I don't mind Lord Manasil's assistance, but I hope you don't rely on him."

"Yes, Your Majesty. I'll be careful."

Soon after that, Raul came in, opening the door of the Oval Office again.

"The Palace of Heicia. There was an explosion in the reception room, but the others' damage has not yet been confirmed, and the queen is safe. But that's the thing."

Raul frowned for a moment. I blamed him for telling me the hard story. Remain gazes at Raul, and Raul talks without hiding his embarrassing face.

"Arsen Hertz attacked the Queen."

Arsen Hertz.

Ren's eyes widen as Balkan's deputy commander's name came out of the wrong place.

And Remain was lost.

Immediately, an unbelievable sound came from Remain's mouth.

"Fuck you."

* * *

Kalian turns away while he's standing on the terrace.

At the same time of the blast, Kiri sprints into Calian's room, her face stiffened.

After a short time, Jan enters.

Jan, who was about to prepare breakfast, put a funny story in front of Kalian instead of dinner.

"Sir Hertz visited Queen Silique this morning. And the last time the leader of the raid heard the word" Silica "from the prince, he attacked unilaterally."

Jan, who is speaking, smiles at Alan and Kiri, who are listening to her, saying that it is absurd.

Kalian nods and asks.

"That I bought Ser Hertz to attack Silica."

"Yes, I heard."

If you're gonna kill me, I will.

"Yes."

The thunderclap of Arsen.

Kalian disappears once again upon encountering this inappropriate combination.

As Grey's wagon explodes, it doesn't seem like Arsen likes to use fireballs. It's clear that you didn't care how Pavel's knights died.

In any case, people might hear that the Grey's Wagon exploded and the reception room in Silica looked exactly the same.

"Thought you'd bring Lord Hertz back from the dead. You put your head in exactly what you expected. Looks like you got some magic ammunition."

If it's accepted that Calian bought Arsen, then not only Calian, but also Balkan, as well as Alan, the commander of the Balkans, will be safe.

"When Lord Hertz was taken, he thought we couldn't explain where he was. I'm afraid I've come to the conclusion that I hid it since I couldn't find Lord Hertz in the House of Viceroy Brissen."

If the Kalian side was protecting Arsen, it would be useless to defend what Arsen was doing at the time Silica was attacked. Since Kalian begged me to attack Silica, I would have thought that no one would believe Kalian's words.

However, I couldn't find any embarrassment in the faces of any of those who were talking about it. Kalian asks Yan with a worry-free face.

"So, what about you?"

"Don't be late for the Balkans fast."

I did not postpone the hunger ceremony.

Le Maine also did not believe Silica's arguments.

* * *

- Glug!

The sound of silica's debt creaks in.

It's been a long time since there's been an explosion in the Heicia Palace. Nevertheless, no one came out. No one is coming to investigate.

And word came from Remain.

- Since the queen is safe, I will investigate the incident after the Wizard's fast is over.

Silica was clearly not an accident.

There was an ambush, and they even told us the killer's name.

"An accident."

Nevertheless, Le Maine changed the nature of the work by saying "accident." Even after this, I don't listen to Silica.

"If this were indeed an accident, we should postpone the event. Your intentions are clear now."

Silica's voice said that was trembling thinly.

Silica closes her eyes quietly to find peace.

And he said to the bridegroom,

"Call the deputy commander of the Knights Raon and have all Raon assemble at the Wilhelm Coffin. If Raon's Master is with me, he will listen to you."

No matter what happens, I have to take Calian down this time.

Le Maine said she wouldn't step up, so she had to make her own move.

Soon, Silica moved to the Wilhelm coffin where the Balkan fast would take place, accompanied by several escorts and other maids. It was used by the Knights Pavel, so the Bilhelm Cove is close to the Haycia Palace.

So shortly after arriving at the venue, Silica had to once again squeeze the debt into her hand.

It was after the palace explosion.

However, there was no anxiety on anyone's face. I was having a very normal morning, and I was giving people a very ordinary greeting.

No one was there to talk about the explosion.

The nobles of Chin Brysen's disposition continue to be seen, but they are very quiet. You greet Silica and turn your head.

It's the day of the Balkans' closing fast with Allen.

That's why he took a slight step off the 'prominent big tree' that Alan had mentioned.

How dare you! '

This experience was gripped by silica for the first time.

And then...

Someone came up to me and said something I was worried about.

"Glad to hear there was an explosion. You look okay."

Seeing the one who spoke, Silica's eyes became poisonous.

Callian was the only one among many who asked Silica for news of the accident.

"You have the audacity to ask me about your lead."

Silica's voice was fairly loud and the surroundings were quiet.

The eyes of both the White Robe Wizards and the other two princes gathered for the inauguration of the nobles in the intestine moved towards Silica and Kalian.

After taking a look around them, Calian looks a little stiff.

"You'd better not say anything rash. You said you would find the cause after the event."

I wasn't mocking.

Callian was saying this with a genuine concern for silica.

Callian did not normally treat silica this way. So now Silica knows that that look is an act of consciousness in other people's eyes.

Only silica.

The debt in your hand thunders.

"Find the Wizard. I saw for sure that it was the Wizard. You must come to me."

In response, Calian shuts up.

Silica smiled as she thought she couldn't find a word to answer.

"The Wizard."

You hear someone's voice behind Silica's back.

"You mean this man, Queen."

Familiar voice.

It was a voice that was so familiar.

Silica turns her head.

Evan Brissen stands there.

And one of the wizards standing behind him bows.

"This is my first time."

In a polite voice, the wizard greets Silica.

"Arsenal Hertz, the Wizard." "

Silica takes a step back.

I couldn't figure out why Arsenal Hertz was coming in with Evan, not Calian.

After taking a step back and looking at Evan and Arsen, Silica's head turns towards Calian.

Callian smiles.

The question of whether you can see your end is in that smile.
