How to Live as the Enemy Prince

< Chapter 23. If such a day comes (4) >

The moment when Arsen, who came back to see Kalian, fell into a deep sleep that Alan put to sleep.

"Oww."

The one with the big, fat belly.

'I am Prince Plants' favorite cat, Prince Kalian. '

The cat squirms and squeezes through the closed door. Then he climbed up onto the knees of Plants sitting in front of the table.

Hina, who saw him by his side, said.

- I'll, uh, I'll take him.

The cat, who was grouchy but not curled up, remained still whether to sleep or not. The warm body temperature of the cat was transmitted.

"Leave it."

Plants shakes his head briefly and picks up the salad with a expressionless face.

So Hina was feeding the plants. Despite the persistence of picking up the salad, Raleigh, the acolyte of Plants, who was standing with Hina, was satisfied. It's better than not touching at all.

Plants looks at Hina and opens his mouth, forcing her to eat.

"Why aren't you going?"

I understand that it was only because he was standing, but he was standing, not because of Plants' maid, but because of Hina.

Kalian must be sleeping well, and he has nothing to do at this time. So Hina replied with a look on her face saying, "Never mind."

- To eat, to see, to go.

Although I don't fully understand what that means, I still find Plants annoying.

"I don't want to interfere."

- Not meddling, worrying.

Hina immediately replied, pretending not to recognize Plants. I didn't feel the need to react differently.

I don't know if you've noticed that, but Hina smiled.

Originally, it was Calian or Alan who didn't struggle with Plants here. He didn't want to mix words with Randello Plants.

And then there were two more.

Arsen, and Hina. If you include a cat, there are three.

It's all because of his brother.

When I got there, Plants sighed low. And I took my hand back to the salad plate as if it were nothing.

The long afternoon sunlight comes in through the window and the sunlight reflects on the table.

After being completely excluded from the conversation, Leek opens his mouth as he looks out the window thinking he needs to learn sushi from Yan.

"I'll get the curtains down, Prince."

In response, Hina frowns slightly and shakes her head, clutching his arm. Raleigh looks confused and doesn't understand why he seems to want you to leave him alone, but Plants hears the answer.

"Don't touch me."

"Leave", "Leave", "Leave" -- that's a much stronger word than "Leave".

Plants then sits still with his hands paused for a moment.

- Tak!

And finally, I put down the fork and knife I was holding and stood up. As the knee that was lying down as a cushion moves, the surprised cat descends to the ground.

"Get out."

Plants turns his back and walks towards the bedroom.

As he looks at the half-empty plate, surprised by the sudden change in attitude, Hina points out the window with her fingers.

"Why are you so short on thoughts? '

With a face like this.

'Ahh · · · · · · · · · ·.'

Only when I saw where the tips of my hands were pointing and Hina's face did I realize that the curtain in that direction had never been lowered, did I ever blame myself.

I thought about it.

With time gone and no teasing, I think I'll be okay now. "

That doesn't mean it's okay not to tease over time.

You hear the cat screaming for a hug after Dodo and Plants.

Alan, who loved sweets, loved dark, sugar-free coffee.

If Callian knew this, he would have thought it was quite surprising. But he never drank coffee in front of her, so she would never know what she liked.

"I didn't expect Lord Manasil to drink such bitter coffee."

Chase said instead:

When I first saw Alan, he offered me coffee, but that day I couldn't drink because I was talking about Kalian.

"It's a habit."

Alan just replies like this, and Chase nods quietly.

"So, what brings you here?"

"I have something to tell the King of Cairys in advance."

Chase, who seemed to have cleared his mind for a moment, told Alan about Plants's visit.

"You mean the deputy commander of the Balkans was very forthcoming with a line of confidentiality? I did what Prince Plants did."

Alan, the commander of the Balkans, laughs for a moment and says,

"Yes, that's what I thought. If Cecretia can't defend herself, she's probably worried that all of her share will go to Prince Kalian."

Alan was reminded of what Callian had just told him to follow Chase, calling himself "Earl Manasil."

"If I hadn't stood alone to help Prince Kalian, then if you had just brought Lord Castrin to see Sezar, I would have followed Prince Kalian as planned."

"Yes, I think so."

Maybe Allan thinks it's okay for him to be a burden. So if he had gone with Alan, he wouldn't have stood so tightly in Alan's shield. Then nothing would have happened again because of the crowd.

"Of course, I don't know why you did what you did, but I'm sure you were worried this time."

I understood.

Alan knew how miserable it felt to watch his own blood die in front of him.

And Plants, of course.

"I'm sure Prince Plants has stepped up for a reason. Even if the same thing happens again, Prince Kalian and I are going to make a reckless choice again."

That's why Plants went to Chase.

"I think you meant to help Prince Kalian or not, at least in order for my body to be healthy, since you've had enough baggage." "

Chase nods and opens his mouth.

"I know. So I said I would do the same. It may not be the same as the Balkans, but we have decided to have the power not to be weak."

"Well done."

"However, when a similar army was founded in Cecretia, I was concerned about its purpose in Cairis."

"Rest assured, Your Majesty won't have to worry about him."

At least as long as Allen leads the Balkans, Chase won't be able to defeat him, no matter how powerful his army is. Moreover, Le Maine, a cow like Le Maine, did not have the luxury of worrying or doubting Chase's intentions.

The purpose of Chase's visit has been resolved, and Alan is silent for a moment.

"But I have one question for you."

"Yes. What do you want to know?"

"I'd like to know why Prince Kalian abandoned his throne in the past, if you can tell me a story."

"Why · · · · · · · · · ·."

"Prince Kalian gave up the throne thinking I could be a better monarch. To do that, he gave up his knighthood."

"Yes, that's right. That's why I said it."

Alan nods and looks at Chase.

"If that's all, it just doesn't make any sense. It is difficult to understand your intentions, not your intentions, to move your intentions. because if you look at the degradation now, I don't think he's going to approve of raising a knife."

It wasn't hard to tell.

It wasn't hard, it was painful.

"I convinced myself it was the only way."

Chase glances at the memory as he recalls the old days. He shuts his eyes quietly. The same lowered voice flows quietly.

The nobles supported Bern.

Bern was the queen's son, and Chase wasn't.

That's why Bern then did not reveal his talents as he does now. I've always stood behind Chase, beside the sword, and always cared. I didn't stand alone in front of people. Chase always did, so he could see the light.

"If I hadn't climbed to the top of the three pillars, The nobles of Cecretia won't want to leave a spark."

The Deceptinian nobles were thinking the same thing as Devil was trying to ascertain Chase's intentions when he threw Bern into the sea.

When Bern ascended to the throne, he wondered if Chase, in many ways superior to Bern, would ever hold a different heart. Bern knew that Chase would cut off his lifeline, which would be the source of the doubt.

"You gave up the throne to save him?"

"It's true that they both gave up to live, but even if they died, if they thought it was my only way to live, they would have made the same choice. No worries."

Alan rubs his temples.

"Then it's the same again."

Callian said he needed the strength to cope with the future, so he decided to climb to the top. And Alan questioned that.

If you become a tax collector, you will have power, but there are constraints on your actions.

The relationship with Plants was terrible at first, but not now. Because of this, if you are able to remain friends with Plants, it is better to work only on Randall and then put the Plants on the ceiling and get out of the capital and have my powers. I'm not going to discourage Calian from being Plants.

"I thought it was strange that you would have a three-way. I thought, why do you want to get the job when you don't have the greed? Now that I've heard your words, I understand."

Kalian is no different from Bern.

I stood up for myself and saw the light. I was inspired and commended. Like Chase.

If such a Khalian abandons Cezawi, then Plants is in position.

After so many extraordinary things, it was no different from Cecretina or Cairys to think about whether she would care for another heart after being far from the throne. The other thing is, unlike Chase, assassinating Callian will never be easy.

If so, the situation may be reversed.

I had no idea that the forces advocating for Kalian would seek the life of Plants on the throne. Plus, Plants doesn't want a throne, so he decided to take his place.

I'm saving Plants.

Smart Plants will never know it, and that's what's going to help Calian.

"What a tearful brotherly love."

Alan said, pouring the coffee into his mouth.

I never meant it as a compliment.

* * *

I spent the day in a deep sleep.

Somehow, when I closed my eyes, Calian, who was disappointed with the day shifting, hurriedly washed and changed his clothes. It was because I wanted to do things quickly that I couldn't do the day before.

"Get Lord Hertz, please."

Jan watches Kyrie quietly as she looks at Calian, saying,

- If you say you'll do it again as soon as you open your eyes, just knock him out.

Before Callian woke up, Jan told Kiri: And Kiri shakes his head firmly.

It's impossible to do it without wanting to do it.

In Yan's eyes, of course, he may be Prince Charming when he touches him, but he may have cut off his arm at the moment Khalian unconsciously counters.

"Don't think weird."

After seeing Jan's speculation, Khalian cautiously said, Then Jan opens his mouth with a grumbling tone.

"I've prepared a meal, so you should eat first."

After sleeping all day, Calian sat down and picked up his fork and knife, as Jan instructed, because he was pretty upset.

Kalian was different from Plants.

I never chose to eat. Isn't Bob on the pill?

So Jan saw Kalian eating food with great fervor.

"But I'm glad. He was worried Prince Plants was picking on his food."

"Is he still not eating?"

I knew I wasn't eating well after Silica, but I didn't know I was still doing that.

Calian raises his head for a moment and looks out the window.

The height varied by the difference in the number of floors, but the location of the rooms or tables in Calian or Plants was the same. And there was something very visible there.

The House of Heicia.

Where silica used to live.

The roof is unusually high, and you can see it from behind the Arfia Palace, which is home to Remain.

"It's a strange thing for Bob to pass by looking at that."

Khalian nods, knowing very well why he doesn't eat. Then I put down my fork and knife and thought for a moment as I moved my fingers.

Whether or not you can take responsibility for what you're thinking right now.

Soon after thinking about it, Calian says to Jan.

"Tell Lord Hertz to do something on his way here."

"Yes. What do you want me to do?"

Kalian smiles deeply.

And he pointed out to the Haycia Palace outside the window.

"Blow up that roof."

Why can't we just get a little bit more stuck while we're stuck?

My brother, you should eat your food on time.
