How to Live as the Enemy Prince

< Chapter 21. Behind the Abyss (3) >

The dawn of the last day of the festival, when Demirea stood beside Kalian.

The birds were especially loud that day.

And Kalian had a particularly long dream that day.

I had never had a dream when I was Bern, but Kalian in the dream was Bern. I tied my long blue hair together, looking at the light purple eyes reflected in the mirror. And I went to Chase in light clothing as usual.

Chase smiles at Bern in his dream.

Bern says something, but only Chase's voice is heard in the dream. I didn't hear any other sound.

Maybe he didn't want to hear anything else.

- You look tired. Get some more rest.

- I'm your brother. I should be worried about you, not you.

It was so good to hear that voice again, so good that I couldn't care less about anything else, I realized it after a long time.

Chase in the dream had short hair.

Chase never raised his head.

It was because their hair color was exactly the same. Both of you look like Devil Lan, so you laugh as if your hair is too long. So Chase always had short hair. I never had my hair cut.

That's why.

I don't know.

The look on Chase's face when he came to Cairys, yes.

It looked a lot like Bern.

I finally realized what I should have known at a glance.

"· · · · · · · · · · · Ha."

It may be a memory for someone that remembers a memory that they forgot, but someone can hold their breath because of it.

The morning the winged birds cried.

Callian sits up and covers his face with both hands.

"You need to pull yourself together."

The whispering voice waves like candles.

* * *

The face of a servant, like a puppy, who said he came to look for a cat, was not the face of someone who came to look for the cat. Now I don't know if I want to apologize for throwing the knife or anything else, but I did.

In a word, he looks like that of an experienced longevity fighter about to fight the hundredth battle.

"Prince Plants."

"Why."

Plants, the acolyte who announced Jan's visit to Raleighman, replied with a voice mixed with annoyance and annoyance.

Then Jan opened his mouth, looking like the sky was about to fall.

"Your eyes are red."

"It's usually red."

Do you bark in the morning because you look like the owner?

Looking at Jan with those eyes, Jan said again.

"No. The prince hasn't been feeling very well lately."

· · · · · · No Energy.

Around the end of yesterday, Kiri left the training ground. The crazy brother who saw it asked for a duel and accepted it. I almost died.

The wound on my neck that healed well overnight still feels sore.

Yan opens his mouth again, his eyes slightly closed, wondering if Yan had come here without knowing what he was swallowing.

"Because of that now,"

"You. Siegfried."

Plants cut Jan's horse off.

Jan's face was somewhat stiff. Then he leans his head slightly and opens his mouth briefly.

"Why?"

I called Siegfried, and he answered me as the Duke's son.

Named after Jan, who saw the noticeable change in Yan at once, smiled. Then he went to the couch, sat on his back, and looked across the street. It meant that Jan would sit down with the Duke's son, Shiroyan, not Jan, and Jan went without giving up.

At the same time, Plants opened his mouth.

"Summon the Peacock."

Jan glances back at Plants.

"Do you know what Demirea means by coming here?"

"I know."

"Is there a situation we need to intervene in?"

You hear Yann's words, and one of Plants' mouths curls up. Plants can't know what kind of people they were when Remain took the throne.

"If you ask me to intervene, you sound like you would."

Siegfried is not a founder.

Callian knew this. Even when I thought I needed the help of a knight, I couldn't find Earl Eiffel, not Slayman.

"I don't need a sword. Just bring a shield."

If you wanted an intervention, you would have told Demirea to bring in Slay, not Demirea. Of course I'll refuse.

Plants speaks in a distinctive, casual voice.

"My brother has a temper he can't even ask for."

Randall's hand is unusual.

It wasn't the strength of the visible knights or wizards. We don't know who it is. Threatening Kalian with that kind of power means I've got a real fight in mind.

Therefore, Siegfried needed their 'name'.

Along with Alan Manasil and Balkan, we can't control both Tensile and Bricen, so there was one more force to be seen.

A large group that could pose enough threat to both of them with that name to keep them from thinking about coming at us all at once.

Yan looks out the window and thinks about something for a moment.

"The Peacock has come to Cairysis this year, so it's not hard to talk about it. But..."

Yan pauses and looks at Plants' eyes and asks.

"I wonder why you're so eager to help. I just wanted to know why."

Plants hears that and laughs out loud.

- It's all fucked up because of you. Please understand this.

Plants was responsible for the situation.

If he didn't know Kalian was strong, Randall would have targeted only Bricen and Plants first. Khalian should have been out of Randall's sight for now. I would have let him rest assured that no matter if he had bitten Lennon or founded Balkans, he wouldn't be out of my hands.

That Randall reveals the power that Khalian had hidden.

Along with that, I continued to work with Plants, and this time I even interrupted Randall in person. Both the Knights and the Balkans are incomplete, so they're pointing their swords at Randall.

So the next target in Randall will be Khalian.

If you can't use it, you'll have to get rid of it before it gets in the way.

So, Calian brought Plants back to life, and it was a disaster. This couldn't have happened in Calian's plans.

Plants simply replied as it was not a kind enough plant to explain the passage.

"I owe you."

"Prince Plants owes me a debt. Why do you ask me to summon Demirea?"

I can clearly see you're overlooking Chase for a full day at Randall and Brissen. I don't have time to rest for a while. So I was trying to repay the debt that Kalian owed me. I don't have anything, but I want to be in debt.

"I think I need an elephant in the shade to breathe."

That was Plants' idea.

* * *

Kalian is embarrassed.

The baby elephant, who was going to come for the cat, hasn't been back for a while and brought another elephant.

"Where's the cat?"

"He's sleeping. He's upstairs in bed. Kulkul. Turn the boat upside down. Maybe it's more comfortable upstairs than Prince Charming's room."

Kalian grins.

"Do I really have to change my cat's name tag?"

Anyway, after greeting the cat like this, Calian greets the little elephant standing still.

"It's been a long time, Demirea."

"Yes, my prince."

Just like Jan and his face. His personality is completely different. Jan says she resembles her mother, but Kalian doesn't even know who Jan's mother is.

Anyway, after a simple greeting, Calian tapped my knee for a moment and began to think about what was going on. And not long after, I pointed my finger upstairs and asked.

"Is this your idea?"

"Yes. I don't know why you want to repay your debt with Siegfried."

"This is true · · · · · · · · · ·."

It felt strange to get help from Plants.

Calian also knows that I want you to let go of your mind for a moment, as I will turn your eyes back on Brycen and Randell.

It was Kalian who had kept pretending not to know Chase, in case it would shake any more, because the situation had continued that couldn't be broken for a moment. I gave that Khalian the time he needed to meet Chase properly.

"He wants to live, and he wants to save me."

Calian laughs, taking a breather thanks to the vengeful enemy. Then he said to Demirea,

"I won't bother you for long."

"It doesn't matter. I'm not like my father."

That was very meaningful.

Perhaps the day will come when Siegfried will be crowned king for the first time. I smiled as if I liked Kalian's mouth.

* * *

It was glamorous.

Khalian's jacket, as if it had been prepared from Premier, was also dark gray. The silver button shimmers with the chandelier's light. A dark blue cape was decorated with a silver thread and a diamond pendant was shaking on the cloak.

A diamond that never changes.

That ornament, which was changed for the first time, means Siegfried has kept his faith. So it's not a full alliance declaration, but what is it?

The nobles murmur like that, and the Kiri who heard it smiles discreetly.

'You just have to do the same thing every time.'

Merlin, who was fully in charge of Kalian's clothes, said:

Calian, who has a good safety deposit box, has heard the words carefully, and has only purchased something new that doesn't appear to be there. In fact, it was an alliance that was made a few hours ago, so I didn't have time to prepare clothes and jewelry to deal with it.

Merlin, well dressed, tried to put something else on Demirea, who came back dressed in a dress. Of course Demirea was out of the picture.

Demirea made Kalian smile in a very glamorous way, saying that human dignity does not come from 'that.' Callian hated it the same way when he first saw the uniforms here.

Anyway, through that process, the two of them entered together and sat together throughout the ball.

Since we had fought many times and talked a lot all the time in Slayman's mansion, Kalian became a comfortable face and talked and laughed.

"You guys look great together. Isn't that right?"

"I didn't think the Peacock of Siegfried would make it this far."

At Allen's words, watching him from afar and smiling, Remain nods and answers.

Alan laughs again.

Looking at the late Evan Brissen sitting in front.

Perhaps the most surprising thing here is Evan. Evan asked Slayman with a small look on his face.

"You changed your diet."

Why did the elephant get into a quarrel with the crown prince?

The voice is quite aggressive, but Slayman relaxes.

"Would it be strange for a knife-wielding man to go to a knife-handling prince?"

Then he turned to Le Maine and showed her around his neck.

There was a very faint but fairly long scar. The scars on Calian's sword are a sign of injury.

"Look at this. How could your son be so harsh? I almost got myself into a lot of trouble!"

With everyone smiling, only Evan couldn't smile.

Eventually, Evan decided to take his eyes off Kalian. I first brought Randall down and changed my plans to keep Calian and Siegfried at bay.

I had no idea that this situation was a game that Plants had made for my brother to rest on, and what the consequences of this would be.
