How to Live as the Enemy Prince

< Chapter 25. Where it should be (6) >

The same blonde curly hair.

The same blue eyes in a round eye.

It looked like a brother and sister, but no one doubted it. One of them was Prince 3rd's acolyte, and the other was a peacock who would lead the only Duke of Cairis.

Originally the son of the Duke of Siegfried, but now the eldest son, Shiroian was known to be shocked by Slayman's death and not a single step outside the mansion. Of course, it was hard to say that the rumor was wrong because Jan was right at one time.

However, it was not known that the Shiroian was following the 'Prince like our flower' around with a puppy face. So who would have thought they were brothers and sisters?

"It's nice here."

Demirea was walking on a pebble that makes a pearl sound.

After the battle between Plants and Demirea, both of them had an offer from Kalian to join them for dinner, including Arsen. There was a story to tell each other about the Balkans and the Knights, and there was a reason why Kalian's stomach was so much more angry than I thought.

However, before the dinner at the Senate, the two princes and Arsen had to talk first, so the elephant brothers and sisters were taking a short walk like this. The same trail that Callian and Allen went on one day, and Chase and Plants went on one day.

"That's right. I like where the prince said I like him."

"You're glad Prince Kalian likes you."

Jan replies with a face that doesn't even know what Demirea asked.

"It's good that the prince likes it."

Jan seems to have been born to serve the Kalian. We put Kalian first in everything.

Of course, Demirea didn't think Yan's thinking was wrong. Everyone has priorities in life. I know that to Demirea was the sword and the family, and to Jan was the Kalian.

If Callian doesn't know that, Demirea may be concerned, but she knows that better than anyone. Demirea nods and opens her mouth without another assessment of Jann's words.

"Yes. It's important that I like it here."

The conversation didn't continue until it reached the halfway point on the trail. It was because there were some people who passed by, so it was difficult to say unselfish words.

"May I take your jacket?"

Jan asked after being invisible to people nearby.

Demirea, who came to the palace on her own, still had a black jacket with her, as well as an escort and no servant.

"You don't have to do that to me, brother."

Demirea shakes her head, answering with a fairly clear face.

Even the reason why the trail is good is because Jan, the servant, wishes not to act like a servant even in front of him. Jan smiles and says, "Did you understand that?"

"I'm not that low a rank. I said it because it looks uncomfortable."

It was not Jan's job to carry the burden of Calian's guests on her behalf. That's why Jan has been treating Demirea as her younger sister ever since.

"Listen to me, then."

Then Demirea nods, smiling slightly. He then handed the jacket in his hand to Jan. If there was anything uncomfortable about one jacket, it seemed like he wanted to be a big brother, so he made up his mind.

- Cluck.

You hear a sound from Demirea's leg as you raise your arms and pass the jacket. Although not a knight, since he was a peacock of Siegfried, it was a sound from Demirea's sword that could have been used to blow the Blade of Plants away a short time ago because it was allowed to enter the palace.

If he hadn't refused my position, Jan would have had it by now.

Jan's gaze settles on Demirea's sword for a moment. Demirea opens her mouth in a calm voice, pretending not to see Yan like that.

"Anything was better for me than my brother."

The more thoughtful, the faster the count, the more fortuitous the nobles were, the better the violin was played and the better the sword was handled, Demirea.

"It was something I was better at anyway, something I wanted to do, and it was something I was going to do eventually. So I want you to stop feeling sorry for me."

Demirea was right.

Thus, Demirea's share should have been able to withstand the weight of the shield for 500 years.

- Wouldn't it be good for you if I died?

Jan couldn't bear the weight of a single word.

What was in Yan's eyes when he saw the sword was not envy or regret for missing it. I ran away without being able to overcome a single word, so I was sorry to pass on the heavy name of the Duke family of the country to my brother.

But as Demirea said, it was better for Demirea to be crowned Duke than for Jan, not for Jan. So Demirea is Siegfried's heirloom, and Jan is Khalian's acolyte, and should be well placed.

"My Leah is all grown up."

So Jan said, showing the same smile that he used to make when he saw Kalian's height grow. And Demirea said with a pretty soft smile.

You're all grown up, by the way.

Is this a compliment or a bad joke?

Anyway, the word "dog" was a shorter brother than my brother, so I didn't have to put it in my mouth.

* * *

Calian covers his forehead quietly.

"I said I'd follow him. I didn't say I'd follow Prince Plants, your brother."

It's because of the blue-haired wizard sitting silently and the grazing brother who was sitting with his legs cut off without erasing his annoying face.

I'm going to bring the Knights into the future, so I asked them to keep the chaos out of the Balkans. After hearing Khalian's words, Plants talks about "what's best for him," and Arsen doesn't just walk away. And so the bickering started again.

Plants gazes at Calian with calm eyes.

- Are you sure I took him to war?

Calian shrugs his shoulders just once, as it seemed like the only question was in his calm eyes. I mean, do I know you?

After all, Calian sighs deeply in front of the two bastards. I think I need another cup of Yan's Honey Tea, but I'm afraid I don't have Yan.

"Ha."

I hope it's not Kalian who has a lot of anger and greed over things like this today. After a sigh that flowed out, I had a small but clear life. The two of them look at Calian slightly surprised.

"Late August."

And Kalian opens his mouth with his eyes, "If you talk any more, I'll kill you both."

"At the end of August, Balkan will be an army of both wizards and knights, but before that, he intends to double the number of wizards. So, Deputy Chief Hertz, get rid of all that debris and talk to Earl Manasil and get more people in here."

That's a good point. In late August, I can't believe we're doubling our numbers in three months. Arsen shuts up for a moment on sudden notice. Kalian says, "It doesn't matter."

"And next year in February, There should be at least 300 Wizards at that time."

When the time comes, Chase is on the line.

And as soon as Chase ascended to the throne, he was going to build a mighty army in the Gulf of Cecretia. Although Cecretia is without Bern, their new king will still be strong and wise. Perhaps the new army made by such a king will have an unexpected power.

"After that, the number of wizards will continue to grow, so don't relax."

That's why Caliando was going to do everything in his power to nurture Balkans.

"All of a sudden."

Plants asked:

Callian replies with a silent smile.

"I didn't mean to grow so big all of a sudden, but something must have happened that Cairys couldn't cross the 'weak' line."

Arsenal was there, so it was not a detailed explanation, but it was not a lack for Plants to understand.

It is said that it is the Remains and nobles who wish to suppress Chase's mighty army. If we don't want to be wary of Cecretia in Cairys, the Balkans must have a clear advantage.

It was Calian's idea to increase the size of the Balkans for it.

"But when a wizard like that gathers, it will be noisy inside. Some people think it will be hard to keep the wizards out with the Knights."

If the number of Wizards suddenly increases, the late Evan Brissen will have no choice but to be vigilant. You may have thought the balance of power was unequally balanced up to now, but the explosion in the Heicia Palace has made you realize a little of the power advantage.

In that state, if the number of wizards increased by several times in less than a year, Evan would certainly not like the power of the wizards.

Plants gives you a silent nod, thinking like Callian. Seeing that, Calian silently tapped his knee with his fingertips, rethinking his thoughts and decisions.

After so much time, Kalian's words continue.

"By then, I'll have sent the Knights of Erl Aprine to Balkan."

At that point, Plants' eyes narrowed.

Apparently, the Knights of Eizen Aprine were the power Kalian had decided to possess. Plants was well aware that he was about to bring them to the capital and raise them himself. It was Plants who helped me do that.

But Kalian is now saying that he will take them to Balkan instead of having them. It was no different than what you said about handing the Knights over to Plants, not yourself.

"Why again."

"It's not the same reason as last time. The greater the Wizards, the greater the Knights so that you don't die."

Calian's hand touches his chest as he says.

"I've been thinking that watching you grow the number of wizards in Balkan might be part of your treachery." Even if it's not for that reason, if I hold the Knights while your base is low, it could kill you. "

Plants shuts his eyes quietly.

Seeing that, Calian opens his mouth, delicately concealing the thoughts that would one day cut the throat of the late Evan Brissen.

"It is more important that you do not cross the 'treachery' line set by Earl Brissen. It's a huge range, so you have to be careful with everything."

"Even so, it turns around and finally settles down."

Plants was right. Turning around and finally in place.

It was Plants that wanted to acquire Karen and Raon, the Royal Knights, so that Calian could have the Eisen Knights. And for that I shared the seal of the oath with Evan. However, Calian said he would be careful about the seal of the oath, and that he would give the Eison Knights to Plants. Growing the size of the Wizards is a decision made in the fear that the seal of the oath will not be affected.

However, it was to increase the size of the Wizards so that they would not be wary of the new power of Cecretia in Cairis. And it's because Plants told Chase to 'get ready' that Cecretia's power is growing.

In the end, Calian was able to put down what he had in his hand again.

"It's okay to just go where you need to go."

Callian, who can't possibly know that, said:

It's okay again.
