How to Live as the Enemy Prince

< Chapter 27. If it were now (5) >

A gray dove flies to the window.

The beak of a pigeon that looks nothing special was tapped and poked at the window.

Before long, the window opened and carefully wrapped the bird with scorched, stiff hands. Surprisingly, the bird did not run away, but was grabbed by him quietly.

The dark magic with great side effects and a cruel personality has long since been banned from use on the continent by the will of the first queen of Cairys. Only 'Taming', one of black magic, was allowed to be used within a limited range after it was transformed into normal magic that excluded hazards.

The bird that just knocked on the window was enchanted. in order to be able to recognize the owner's location or understand the coordinates of the place to fly.

In other words, it is Jeonseo-gu.

"It's a little late."

When the knight hugged the front desk that had flown through the pouring rain and entered the reception room, the man who had just sat down with a cup of tea said,

I don't know what I was worrying about all night, but I fell asleep at dawn. After I had just washed and come out, my blue feet were still damp.

He did not include any acolytes and maids on the journey. The knight first didn't understand why his master didn't take the acolytes, but now he's guessing. It was because he thought of wandering around the palace of Cairys without anyone disturbing him.

One day Tailan, the knight who was staring at his short haircut, replied.

"I think I'm running late because it's a bad day."

It was definitely not a good day to fly. They were also temporarily tied up when they returned to Cecritia because of the rain from the night before.

"Not really."

Chase reached out his hand and handed him a letter tied to the leg of the front desk. Chase immediately read the contents of the letter with his bright eyes and burned the note on the fire of the scented candle on the table.

- Midday messenger, wolf hunter, leaving the nest. Baby Griffin or Rattlesnake Den orientation. Defeat 40 Horse Rat Apprentices. No horse tracks.

Urea, where it always summons dark clouds to pronounce death. Arsen slaughtered the warriors of the Great Desert who collided with his master in the Great Desert. It was a nickname that the Seychian tributes had given them with their own respect, which they did not think would be in this note.

So that note meant that Euria and Arsen had killed forty of their underlings while leaving Cairysis and heading towards the direction of the Grey Bricen White or Tensyl, and that they had not found any other clues as to the identity of their group.

"Killed them all."

Chase's eyes, which had always been soft, sank in a cold glow.

Birds of Cecretia are investigating the organization now. He had to send a message saying that he had chased down their remnants, but instead he was annulled by Uriah's intervention.

A quiet voice that doesn't match the cold energy flows out.

"Looks like they're bigger than I thought. Wizards are as strong as I thought."

Chase had no idea that Uriah was investigating the Black Stone. So we also didn't know what caused it to collide with Euria. I was a little surprised that they could hire forty servants, and I nodded my head when I heard that the two forty wizards who were using unknown powers had killed them all.

I remember the Wizard's power firsthand.

"You barely caught the tail, but you missed it."

Then he said something a little sad.

I heard that the group's minions are headed somewhere, and I was chasing after them. However, they were told by only two wizards that they were dead and had no other clues.

Chase tapping the table with his fingertips, his purple eyes lowered, and said to Tailan,

"Don't go after the chairman. Tell him to go back to the capital and check again for any other leads." If I don't, my birds will get hurt by the head of the association. "

"Very well, Your Grace."

Tailan stands there, answering. Usually it was Tailan who stepped back and watched Chase's back or went out, so Chase drank a cup of tea, put it down, and opened his mouth.

"Tell me."

"What are you going to do when there are fewer birds in Cairosis?" "

Tailan just said "a lot," but in fact, the reservoirs he had planted in Cairosis were reduced by less than half.

Tailan's sword wielded by Chase's command.

All the birds in Chase's eyes are dead at Tailan's hands. I killed all of them indistinguishably, not beyond the slightest doubt.

That's why Tailan wasn't there when Callian found Chase or when Plants met Chase. The birds that escaped from the cage were destroyed before they even knew what was outside the cage.

Chase, who took the lives of the birds I raised with my own hands, replied with a low breath.

"I don't want to stretch right now."

As soon as King Cairys learned how many Se-critian tributaries there were, he had difficulty filling in the numbers. But Chase killed the birds, considering there's going to be a hard blow to ignore. So now you don't have to feel sorry for me.

"Be prepared to send it any time later."

"Yes, I will."

Tailan's footsteps take him one step back. Chase's eyes move along the tip of his foot, his head slightly bent towards the teacup.

The voice was just as cold as the previous eyes.

"I don't want you to know what's going on here."

If you refuse, Tailan's voice has the same meaning as yours. Talking peacefully, Tailan was an order he could never disobey.

Tailan opens his mouth quietly instead of answering, knowing that he can't help himself.

"· · · · · · · Why? Can't you just tell me that?"

Change what Cayrians were investigating, move them accordingly, change their hideout, inform King Cairys of their existence, kill them and eliminate them.

Devil will never forgive me if he finds out.

Knowing it better than anyone and helping one of the princes of Cairus in the crowd.

Even without asking for anything.

Chase's head rises toward Tailan, standing beside him. Chase quietly replies, looking at Tailan with his eyes full of deep woods shaking in the calm wind.

"Just. I think I found my missing brother."

Ridiculous truth. Harder to believe than a lie. So the truth will never be doubted.

Tylan looks at Chase's face with an answer that is only the truth, but he never realizes it's the truth. It was a better first impression of Prince Cairys.

Not enough to ascend to the throne or the Three Princes.

So that's what you've done for our relationship in the future.

"Very well. I'll leave you to it."

Chase sits silent for a long time, smiling wet in the rain, answering Tailan's own question.

The scent of mint rising from the teacup touches the tip of your nose.

It rained as expected.

Every step towards the Hessia Palace, every step closer to where the axis of time is, I get a little more rain.

I knew it was raining and left with an umbrella to stop the rain, but I couldn't help but feel the rain pouring out. So in the end, it rained.

- My mother went through a lot of trouble. Do you think there are other ends?

Suddenly.

I remembered what Plants was saying. I didn't know if it was because the foot was headed for Hessia or because I had a different thought. I just remembered.

If Calian hadn't held Plants' hand that day, or if Plants hadn't come to see him, none of this would have happened. So I thought, maybe that's all Callian thought.

Suddenly, the word that came to mind began. One step at a time towards the Heicia Palace. His words go back in time.

- Maybe he remembers something.

There is always an end to a man's steps.

The same was true of Kalian's steps. I stopped my steps back up and my steps toward Hessia.

A moment later, you see a pea in the water.

It makes no difference that Plants followed behind Kalian. After all, it is natural that you have come the same way. Plants was also hit by the same rain. I didn't know what I was thinking when I was right.

Calian, who was looking at Plants, moves back. I stepped down a single step. Towards the room with the windows closed.

- Who are you?

Then, looking back at the words, Calian slowly sinks into his basement.

The sound of the rain drifts further away, and only two princes' footsteps echo silently in a choking silence.

The hair drips with rain and clothes, leaving Kalian alone. I didn't even think about doing Plants any favors.

- Yeah, we should. By name.

After all, it was hard to even think of a name that made no one sing it completely, and no one remembers it perfectly.

Tak.

That room.

Calian arrives in front of the room with the hidden again. Then he turns around.

You can see the face of Plants, who was following Kalian, in close proximity. Calian opens his mouth, gazing into his green eyes.

"Last · · · · · · · · · ·."

A different voice as you get closer to Bern.

A voice that was heavy enough as a burr mirror and painful enough to make me want to leave and turn away.

"Let me ask you one last time."

Just like Chase did.

If the way the memory is coming back is facing the axis of time, so is Plants.

"You might remember."

What even Kalian doesn't know.

Why Plants who don't like to be taken are broken enough to start a war to take something from someone. Or why I was desperate to take something away. Maybe you'll remember that.

Plants' eyes narrowed.

Callian who was looking at it said,

"If you face what's in there, you may remember what happened in the past. You may have the same nightmare someday, if not right now. I might think of things that I don't even know about."

When Plants heard that, he was puzzled by how Chase discovered the true nature of Calian. I'm not sure, but I understand that now that Chase has also come across something inside of him and is thinking about having a memory, he's saying this.

Plants stares at Calian's face.

I looked at Kalian with a heavy, painful, and painful look on his face and replied.

"Open it. I'll watch with you."

Callian shuts up for a moment.

How confident are you that you won't treat remembered Plants as an enemy, just as you treated remembered Chase as a brother for a moment? I thought about it one last time.

Then you turn around again and show your back from Plants.

"Yes."

That was the answer to my concerns and Calian's decision.

From others, from the shadows of the past, it shouldn't be that hard. That's what I thought.

- Grunt.

With a small sound, the door opens.
