How to Live as the Enemy Prince

< Chapter 29. Things you can handle (2) >

Add that to your greed.

He must have more connections to life. He was not young enough to not know what he was talking about. You said you were going to live, so you don't need to breathe, but you need to try to live.

So it was a matter of moderate understanding, but Plants was not in the mood to give such a polite answer now.

If Raric the acolyte had said something like that, he would have just barked again. However, one of Plants' jaws curls up, thanks to what Kalian said.

"That's what my brother would say."

The nobles focusing on one Ruby accessory would not have missed Kalian's words, who had suddenly summoned Plants before them.

So in about an hour or so, word will spread in the streets of Astricia. The 3rd Prince, Kalian, asked permission to go with him to Wilhelm Coffin, where Balkan is. It is clear from the nobles that this was an act to inform the nobles that Kalyan also admitted that Plants owned Balkans.

So, as soon as I hand Balkan over to you in a sudden word that I brought out in front of the nobles, I feel very uncomfortable about Plants' mood.

Calian, who can't imagine the discomfort, relaxes in a calm voice.

"I live with enough greed."

Raven eats the weed.

Seeing Calian with a face that says there is no lie, Plants stops talking.

Somehow, Kalian seems to think it's his desire to hold everyone together. I didn't say that, but I think that's why you think that.

In case you know what Plants is thinking, Calian looks around without saying anything else. Then he looked at the distant palace and said.

"If you name your cat Camelon, she won't like it."

It's probably the continent's first, not Cairis'. I can't believe you brought up the name of your cat like you just forgot what you were saying.

"Or better yet, save it and stick it to the dog."

Plants does not panic or ask what it means.

There's only one cat left to name.

Just a short sigh before answering this sudden topic, it also meant that he didn't want to mention any more about the miscommunication.

"The Great One will return to Heysia."

If you name your cat or dog after the two great kings of this country, the Sispanians will come back for you.

Not to make sense of it this time, but to just kill the Black Butterfly for what it means.

"But 'butterflies'. It's better for cats than it is for people."

Plants did not speak for a moment.

I understood what Kalian meant by Camelon and recalled that Kalian was bringing out the knowledge of the emperor of Cecritia. There's not a lot of words in that language coming down in Cairys.

Anyway, Kalian didn't really talk about it anymore. Thanks to this, the natural quiet steps resulted again.

By the time Calian and Plants got close to the Wilhelm coffin, Plants, who had moved his feet without a word, opened his mouth.

"· · · · · · · · Up."

That was unexpected.

Because of this, Kalian looks at Plants and adds a lower voice.

"Cat name. If you haven't already."

I wish that's what Calian's cat name meant when he looked out the window or came crying whenever he sat still. That's what he said.

Kalian smiles shortly, looking at Plants with surprising eyes. It was because I realized I wasn't the one who was going to name the cat.

"Lucy," he said. "

And, the shiniest star.

I laughed because it was a good word for a cat name.

"That's how it's going to be."

Plants nods, and after finally finishing two days of worrying, Kalian sets foot in a cool face.

Shortly thereafter, when he stepped into Wilhelm's coffin, Plants revealed another unexpected tale.

"Does it mean something else in my name?"

Plants. In the present language, it was a name for the royal family, called 'Lord of the Noble Moon.' It was well known to Kalian as well as to Plants. It was just that I was curious if there was the same word in the language that Kalian knew.

It's a short speech, but one thing I teach you is that Plants is good at learning. So he was also curious about his work, as I told him to be curious.

Calian opens his mouth slowly, looking at Plants, naming the cat as if he were a completely different person from the one he had just planted.

"Ahh · · · · · · · · · · ·."

Calian's expression is really strange. It was hard to tell whether it was smiling, embarrassing, or both.

"I have a saying like your name. No offense."

Should I tell him or not?

Calian grins as he ponders for a moment.

"My brother is still young, so I'll let you know when he's older."

Ha.

This absurd word of an older brother, the momentary loss of words made his face full of annoyance.

"Bark, again."

Kalian nods, smiling. Then I went into Wilhelm's coffin first.

For a young adult growing up,

'You know, like grass. Or a tree, which is green and fresh. That thing you eat all the time. That's Plants.'

What can I say? "

Better to just bark.

* * *

I didn't have to let them know someone was coming.

I would have known, and I would have waited a long time to get in.

"Master!"

That's why Kalian immediately opened the door and greeted him. Alan smiles and greets you, already experiencing Calian coming to his office.

"I thought you'd forgotten because you haven't been here long."

In the absence of Arsen, Alan has also spent more time in the Wilhelm Coffin. Knowing that, Kalian had not left the training ground when he arrived in Wilhelm, so he was just trying to get back to training today, and was about to fold his mind. I'm more than happy to see you.

"Kiri is a little tired, so I'm looking at your sword for her."

Callian sits across from Allen. And as always, I took a sip of the tea that Alan had prepared for me. It was a tea infused with dried tangerines and smelled as dark as Alan's heart.

Calian, who enjoyed the scent for a moment and smiled pleasantly, released what had been going on. However, the matter with Kiri was not discussed in detail. What happened last time wasn't to be shared, it was just Alan's fault.

Instead, he told me about meeting the Sispanians on a rainy day.

"I couldn't take care of you because you came out of nowhere."

After that, he looks at Alan and adds, We haven't even met the Sispanians in Cairysis, even though they've been to the Heisi palace on the banks of Wilhelm.

Alan wasn't as disappointed this time.

"I went there that day and came back."

"Did you?"

Unexpectedly, Calian is surprised and asks. Alan adds an explanation with a satisfied face somewhere.

"Prince Plants took a different time to return my feet. I asked him what he was doing, but now I know why."

Then, he made me hate Kalian because he had a look on his face saying, 'You really have a friend.' It was a refusal to say that he seemed to have become familiar with the grass that lives with cats.

"Yes. I keep checking on the axis of time, so I'll let you know as soon as I know anything."

Kalian nods.

"It seems Lord Seyren is continuing his investigation into the matter, is that correct?" "

Since it already seemed confident, Alan brings out something he didn't want to tell Callian about his concerns.

"The night after the two of them left the capital, a sudden purple lightning bolt fell. I heard that 40 bodies were found in a lightning storm. Maybe that's what the head of the association did."

Callian sighs for a moment. This is why Uriah and Arsen were confirmed to have really intervened in the matter.

"When you two get back to the capital, I'm going to have to talk you out of it."

"I think that would be good. All that's left is for you and I to find out."

At least Alan wasn't in any danger from them. Kalian nods, asking you to do so.

"Prince Chase is also on the move. In Cairosis, there were alleged incarnations of Cecretia, and traces of incarcerations following the chairman of the association. whether you know it."

Kalian looks at the piece of tangerine in the tea and opens his mouth.

"You must have thrown out some suspicious logs. You wouldn't have stopped looking into them."

It was a walk closer to Bern, slightly different from Chase's past. You can't take all of Bern's duties, but you think you've done some.

Chase was the one without Bern, not Devil.

"I'll let you know if anything comes up, so I'd like you to leave the birds alone, Master."

I asked you to pretend you don't know. Alan just nods quietly.

Alan takes a few moments to look at Calian, who sits silently for a moment, raises his cup of tea and lowers it.

"By the way, you still intend to cut down the Marquis."

Compete with yourself to increase your odds, ask Remain for Freya's harvest, send Arsen to refute Grey. Today I saw a clear physician in front of the nobles about Balkans' possession. All of this was prepared to take the life of the late Evan Brissen.

Callian nodded and replied, sufficiently headache about 'them'.

"Just as it is. You never know when it will fall on you, unless the duc of Bryson dies." "

It's no different from living with a sword on your heart. The moment Plants deviates from Evan's set standards, the seal of the oath will be triggered.

"It's a good thing the Earl of Brissen wasn't so shrewd, in case you haven't noticed."

If Evan doesn't notice how many holes there are in the criteria for not betraying Brycen, it's better to eliminate them.

Alan opens his mouth in a grotesque voice, just looking at Khalian for a moment. Suddenly, the transparent membrane lingers around.

"I'll be there when the time comes."

When it's time to kill Evan and be free, I'll come back with Evan, not Kalian. That's what he said. For Alan, Evan Brissen can be a little tricky, but he's not a dangerous man.

Callian smiles slightly, saying that it shouldn't be difficult. I knew Alan would say this.

"Brissen swallowed Cairis with her funny, light head, because the Marquis of Brissen's sword was just as strong."

I think I know why Callian would say this, so Alan sighs silently. Kalian, who had never shown himself disoriented, gave me a more formal answer.

"I don't want to cut off her sword."

Like Calian said, Bricen's head is light, but their sword is strong. It was in the strength of the sword that the greedy and unthinkable Brissen had been able to hold the vein to this day.

However, Evan was the only one who could wield the sword completely. Not only knights, but also Plants' swordsmanship. At least Grey was there, but Grey wasn't a sodmaster, making it difficult to see how she could handle an intact Brycen sword.

So now, what Kalian is saying is that soon.

"Are you trying to fully inform Prince Plants of their swords?"

"No matter what happens, they won't tell you. They know that no matter what happens, your name won't be changed."

Plants could not be regarded as a complete Brycen man, even if he was in Brycen's possession. Even having Brissen doesn't change the name of the royal Plants. Become Plants Rune Cairis, Bricen's household owner.

Evan Grey doesn't even know that. They knew how big the difference in name was, so they wouldn't tell Plants about their swords no matter what. For Brycen, Plants has always been a moderately close outsider.

"It was a family that was kept by the sword, not the head, and was empowered. No matter how smart you are, you can't move Brissen properly with just your head."

I thought you were from the Knights Family of Cairys. A prince who only receives the head of a family that has been led to swordsmanship one day never maintains his family. With Calian swords unrelated to them, it would be impossible to be recognized as the home of Bricen.

"So if I step up, I won't teach you, but I will show you."

They will never teach Plants, but they will have to be seen to live in front of Calian.

That's why Callian wants to see their swords, face to face. Even if it's not perfect, it also means you're planning to let Plants know about the sword you found.

"I'm about to sit where you're sitting, so I need you to make a proper seat for the throne."

After refusing Allen's intervention, Calian drank a tea as pleasant and sour as he feared.

"I'm sure if anyone hears you, you'll be forced to take it away. When will you put down useless debt?"

Regrettably, Alan snaps his tongue. Calian thanked me for my concern, saying in a soft voice.

"I won't die. I am."

Tell me I won't have to send my son first.

Alan doesn't have an answer for what he understands too well.

And then a few more days passed.

Arsen and Euria didn't come back until Sunday night.
