How to Live as the Enemy Prince

< Chapter 23. If such a day comes (9) >

Knuckles, and Calian comes down to his room for a moment looking around.

Unlike Calian's black room, Plants' room was quite bright. It was curtains, carpet, sheets that looked far inside the bedroom, and mostly bright.

Of course it was because of the cat.

A furry-looking cat will stir up the whole room. The room must be brighter just like in bright clothes.

Callian, who was thinking of that, just came into the room and said,

"Don't load the mint when you're on the fourth floor."

It reminds me of the look on Plants's face when he emptied his cup of mint tea, even though he disliked it.

It was obvious to the cat that he would never say that the car didn't fit.

"Are you going to keep going up every time you eat?"

"For now."

Khalian nods lightly, and surprisingly, Yan replies without much reluctance.

"I understand. I'll do that. And you asked me to call Sir Hertz, but I don't think he'll be able to make it today."

"Why, is something wrong?"

Yan smiled slightly and replied, worried that he might be penalized for this.

"It is said to help clear the remnants of the Haycia Palace."

It is not something else, but it is true that Arsen is unable to leave and find Khalian.

The use of a wizard with precious abilities is due to the Balkans being dispatched to deal with the remnants of the Haycia Palace, according to Alan's opinion. It was not Le Maine, it was Alan, the commander of the Balkans.

The smile that I had endured eventually occurred because of the appearance of Arsen, who was clearly struggling with his work. Callian smiles for a long time.

"Got it. Send me some money for a party later."

"Yes, I understand."

Yan did not go. He looks at Jan and opens his mouth because he seems to have something else to say.

"Little Duke Siegfried is waiting outside."

Whoever was coming and waiting first reported what the prince had asked of him and conveyed what he needed to know. Kalian nods and answers.

"Tell them to come in."

"Yes, Prince."

Shortly after Jan leaves, Demirea comes in. Callian grins, seeing Demirea like that.

This is why I like Demirea.

Demirea is dressed in a dark blue trouser suit. When he came to the palace before the ball, he wore a light dress, but he didn't think it was necessary.

Such a Demirea shows a light example towards Calian and sits across from him. Soon, Jan comes in, puts down two cups of tea without saying a word, and tries to get out. He does not want to interfere or interfere even if he does not know that he is his brother and the family business is going to go back and forth.

"Jan. Sit down, too."

Jan had no reason not to listen, and he was the same family after all.

Jan, who lowers his head lightly, sits a little distance from Demirea. It was a sign that he would listen to them but not interfere.

After seeing it, Calian laughs for a moment. I thought I knew why he drew the line like that.

It reminds me of Bern, who respected Chase for always taking a step back with him.

Callian looks away from Jan to respect Jan. Then he looks at Demirea and says hello.

"It's been a long time, my bride."

Yan sits motionless, jokingly, and Demirea nods, disappearing. He then gave a short speech about the rumor of 'betrothed'.

"I'll pay for the banana and write about it well."

By introducing Calian outside as my fiancée, I will replace the banana he ate at the mansion. Of course, Kalian was also accepted by necessity, but Demirea was also watching over Doug.

"I almost sold my name to two bananas."

"You've eaten so much, it seems like a good price."

Callian asks, "How long have you been smiling?"

"Yes. Has the Earl of Brissen had any other reaction?"

"Yes, I don't see any particular reaction."

I didn't tell you what I did to keep the late Evan Brissen quiet. It's true that it's quiet now anyway.

"What can I do for you?"

That's why Callian opens his mouth to Demirea, who brings us to this point.

"Soon we will build a knight. That's why I'm keeping Earl Aprine's knights hidden away in Duke Siegfried for a while."

"Yes, I've heard that story from my father."

"Oh, well, that'll be quick."

"I heard you were going to replace the Knights of the Palace, correct."

"I used to, but I changed my mind. We will continue to raise them as new knights outside the palace."

Demirea frowns slightly.

I didn't know if the knights outside the palace meant the soldiers of the Kalian or the knights who were going to attack the palace.

"If you are a knight meant to attack the palace, I will not help you."

"You can't seriously expect me to hide knights from the elephant house."

"So you're the Prince's squire."

"Sort of. They'll be my strength."

It means to hide a good horse. In fact, it means to build a knight in it. Demirea opens her mouth, thinking for a moment.

"I can't give you Siegfried's name."

After drawing a line like a knife, Kalian nods, nodding as if it were natural.

"I know. Just hide it and I'll take care of it. And I'll pretend to be the knights of Earl Aefre, so there's no need to ask for a name. Don't worry about that, too."

"So you mean the Knights of Earl Aefre, not you."

When I asked him if he was a soldier of Kalian, I finally understood why he said something similar.

"I don't know if that means you won't put the prince's name in there, or if you want him to be raised on a dance floor with the same powers as Brissen."

"I told you they'd be my knights. It doesn't have to be my name, so I borrow the Earl's name."

"My prince, the Knights are not like the merchants and academies. It is dangerous not to appoint a knight as the owner. Unlike the Balkans, the loyalty of wizards and knights is different. Do not think that everyone with a sword is like Kyrie."

Immediately Demirea said:

I also said it because I know who the knights are.

"It's not in the same context as believing in Earl Eiprin."

"I know."

I don't think I know more about knights than Callian. Kalian glances at Demirea with a faint smile.

"So I was thinking, maybe you could watch the knights for me?"

Demirea shuts up.

After a cup of tea, Calian's words lead to Demirea, who takes care of Calian's concerns.

"Like you said, it's not like you can always keep it under my eyes in the palace. I'm not sure if I can trust the Knights of Earl Eiffel yet. So I'm gonna take this opportunity to see how far I can trust the Count. Then think about whether we can turn them into independent knights, or try something else."

"So you're saying you want me to be the 'watcher' to decide how to use them."

"Yes, exactly."

"You're trying to use me in a lot of ways."

"It's my job to do it."

Callian smiled deeply, and Demirea muttered something that would not be a hint more.

"You've got some nerve."

"Or can't you just give me the privilege of a fiancée?"

Demirea's face crumples.

Since they wanted to say that the marriage story was a false rumor at least now, Calian quickly dried the marriage and said it again.

"Please, Demirea."

Demirea nods, staring at Khalian for a while.

"Very well. I'll help you."

"Thank you."

"I didn't even get paid for my last stay. We're going to get all of this, so don't let it slide."

"You paid for the bananas. I'll make it up to you."

Among those debts, Demirea smiled in relief from the prince who had paid for the bananas.

"By the way, you've become a little more famous. They say you caused a big accident just like me when you wanted to get into an accident."

"Ah, the House of Heicia."

Kalian replies with a bold expression as if he didn't know what he was doing.

"It's not me. Balkan made a mistake."

"Someone doesn't know that the Balkans belong to the prince."

Callian didn't give him much of an answer. Demirea opens her mouth again, just looking at it for a moment.

"Anyway, I understand. Please let me know when the Knights' arrival date is set."

"Oh, Demirea."

Khalian, who called Demirea to get up from her seat, showed her the exact same scepter that Hina had just shown you.

"This. What do you mean by that?"

It was a clumsy gesture, but it was not a difficult word to recognize. Demirea's face changes strangely.

Hovering.

"You hear that from the Prince's maid."

"What an insult."

He glanced at Jan sitting next to Demirea and said,

"No one will tell me what that means. Jan won't talk."

"What have you done to deserve this?"

Callian chuckles.

"I didn't do anything wrong."

Demirea hands over the last sip of tea and lowers her cup. He replied in a quiet voice.

"You just have to stay awake. Don't listen to the same thing."

Then I got up and said hello and went out. In the end, he didn't tell me what Hina had said.

"What do you mean Demirea won't tell you?"

The question of Kalian grows.

* * *

After Demirea left.

Callian just sits in the same spot for the rest of the day. Wake up and blame her for not having anything to do with what Plants said this morning.

You don't have a training ground, you don't have a Balkan coffin, and you can't even walk.

Stay awake, by the way.

"· · · · · · · What you know."

I was just sitting there thinking and muttering, and Jan approached me and sat across from me and put down the chilled mint car.

I've had two drinks today.

Unless you want to talk about it, Jan didn't bring out the same car twice, but Calian picked it up and took it to his mouth without saying anything.

"When I think about it, he always asks for mint tea."

Khalian smiles and thanks you, and Jan opens his mouth again.

"Prince Manasil told Earl Manasil that he was going to continue to eat on the fourth floor."

"Did you say that?"

Kalian's eyes widen.

"Yes. If you're going to move like that, I asked you to just let me go. Earl Manasil will take care of what His Majesty permits, so from tomorrow on, you may move freely in Chermill Palace. You don't have to go to the fourth floor in a dangerous way or be depressed about how bored you are."

"Yes."

I'd like to add a thank-you note to Yan's mind, but Yan opened his mouth first.

"So don't."

Suir can be seen from afar.

Yan went out to take Raven back after the exercise and saw what Hina said.

Hina's sour fish, which placed the blue ice cream next to her, was fast and hard for Yan to recognize. I could still see what he was saying.

When I understood it, I remembered my brother who took all my stuff and burned it just a week before he stopped breathing.

"Because I'm alive, there's a vacancy. How do I get rid of it? So just buy yourself some time to worry about empty seats."

Jan pauses, staring out the window and turns to Khalian again. Soon, the gaze settles on Mint's car and goes back to Calian.

A voice that was the opposite of a fresh mint scent came out.

"Please don't let me go through that again."

I'm just saying just in case.

I'm not even thinking about dying right now.

I want to live, too.

"Okay. Okay."

Instead of saying that, Calian just smiles.

I had hands like this, so I didn't want to die.
