How to Live as the Enemy Prince

Scars.

The mark that proves all the wounds are healed.

There is now only one person in the world who knows it, but Bern has quite a lot of scars on his hands and body. And in the palm of Calian's right hand was a long, thin scar. What it meant was that the wounds inflicted by the actions of that wretch were immediately incurable. Of course, there were no other scars at all. It was because the blessing of the Sispanians showed good healing power.

The same was true of Plants.

The phosphorus of the oath is a blessing that does not heal because it does not affect the heart right now, but the wound that cut his throat was rapidly healing. Of course, it was not enough for the wound to heal in front of my eyes, so at least half a day passed before it all disappeared without Hina.

"That's not a good look."

The wound was not covered even though the shirt button was fully filled. The horse left a long bloodline on the white neck, and Plants looks back at the expressionless face.

"Some wounds look good."

Just before being hurt by Silica's secret, Lucy, the nameless kitten, entered the Rose Garden without knowing it well. That's why I stood in front of Hina from Randall.

Since that day, it was the first time we had a proper conversation face-to-face. To be more precise, we'll have to start by figuring out if there's ever been a proper conversation between the two, but Plants thought that much.

"Sometimes you need a wound. You can't say it's bad to see something like that."

I didn't want to empathize with what Randall said in front of me, but I wasn't wrong. Especially when you're holding a sword. If you have calluses, it might be a little easier to hold a sword.

Just because Randall says it's a necessary wound doesn't mean the prosecutors' stiffness.

The number of silicas.

We will talk about the wounds that were inflicted that day.

"If you were awake then, like you are now."

"I'll just say what I have to say."

Plants, who didn't want to keep thinking about him, stopped Randall from saying so.

There is no scent in Randall's room. I was reluctant to think that it might be full of roses, but then I realized that Kalian was already here. Since it doesn't smell, you bet your money on meeting Randall.

"You're not the one who told me I had something to say. That's interesting."

Someone who would like to know what fun is said.

"You don't like it."

So, Plants, who barely knew what fun was, said,

"If you don't want to, I'll go."

A platinum chain accessory that fills the shirt buttons to the neck, ties to it, and connects the collar ends of the shirt to each other. Instead of the cardigan I had always worn at Chermill Palace, I even wore a jacket that was just right for me.

Rather than trying to figure out if it was because of the suffocating clothes or because I was looking into the eyes of the real brother sitting in front of me, Plants took a sip of tea and lowered it.

The taste of the bitter chocolate melted as it did, but it was not as reluctant as looking into Randall's eyes.

"Either way, it doesn't matter."

Whether Kalian is here or not, Plants is here on behalf of Kalian. It means that no matter which one came, it wouldn't be much different.

Randall has also decided to enter the shadow of Calian, which means that whatever Plants is already working with Calian, what does Calian have to do with what he comes to do with himself, and that whoever comes to Randall eventually means nothing more than "having a conversation with someone for a little while."

Plants took a moment to understand the meaning.

Rather than a pity about this feeling in Randall, it was a pity that Randall was thinking about going down as an excuse if he didn't want to talk to himself. I said I didn't care which way, so I had to keep talking with no place to go.

"There's a healer in Balkan. I came to ask you to train through Tensyl's healer."

After all, Plants said to Randall,

And I whispered insults at just two people in my heart. One was Plants himself who brought the story to light, and the other was Arsen.

I lost the battle with Calian, but I bet you won the bet. That's why I learned a method only Slay uses from Kalian. It was a technique used to effectively avoid the body and counteract fast teeth.

After that, Khalian instructs Jan to tell Randall that he's coming to see him in a moment.

And there was a call from Arsen.

I have something urgent to tell you. I need to find Calian.

"It wasn't a hollow. I see you're asking me to do that."

Thanks to you, like this.

I even heard a story I didn't need to hear.

"You saw me in vain in the Balkans."

Randall nods.

He thought he was a deputy commander who only had the name to show it to others.

It was not a big mistake. Had it not been for Calian's Teaching, Plants would have seen it the same way.

Because of this, he nods back at Randall, who looks out the window at the rose garden and looks deeply at him. I looked at the inevitable deep abyss as if it had swallowed the eyes of a life-filled green color.

"I thought you were a wolf. How could I have known that you would dare to see the third blessing."

Correct.

You haven't been paying attention.

I said:

"Oops."

Plants makes a short sound.

I put my hands up and grabbed the tie knot. I feel suffocated and try to unwind it, and I take a deep breath and lower my hand.

I've endured the need to show off my bad behavior in front of Randall.

"Do you remember what I did to Calian?"

"Do we need to keep it in mind? I just said what I know."

"I hope you remember at least that's not what you can say. It's hard to count the easy ones."

One of Plants' mouths dries up.

"Just one thing. Always pretending to be the victim, pretending to be wounded, being able to see everything around you, or standing far away from the Rose Branch with everything closed so that nothing touches you. Or face me properly and blame me. You're both greedy."

Randall smiles quietly as he sees the light of a green eye just rising from the abyss.

* * *

A dark grey marble floor.

On a well-polished floor, a dark red light shines.

- No dodo, Tak!

If there's something shiny in front of a creature called a cat, you have to hold it and see it. Lucy runs hard to catch the reflected light.

However, just before the lovely widow's foot grabbed it, the light that flashed on the floor disappeared everywhere.

"Meow!"

Smart Lucy, who already knows who the killer is, cries once, sitting on the couch, looking at her red eyes. Then, as if trying to soothe Lucy like that, a dark red light with a slightly different size and shape popped up in the distance.

This time, the light did not go away, but that did not mean that we could catch it. Since it was a shimmer that was intangible from the beginning, no matter how hard Lucy tried to grab it with her front foot, she couldn't be caught.

"Meeon!"

You raise your gaze at Kalian, shouting that Lucy failed in a row to hold on to the dark red light. When Calian saw an annoying face that resembled someone who would be in the upper room, he burst out a small smile that seemed good to interpret as, 'Should I be this stressed because of you?'

"Lucy, why are you so upset about not catching this?"

Lucy does not understand this. She follows the light that appears and disappears in and around her room, depending on her will.

- No dodo, Tak!

Of course, the results were the same.

After going through the same thing three times, Calian's smile bursts again as he sees Lucy staring at her with a round puff of hair.

A dark red with a creepy energy.

"Usually you feel bad or scared before you try to catch it. I guess you're just curious."

"Oww!"

I felt a little relieved by the sound of crying that contained meaning that I still couldn't understand.

Seeing Lucy running around in the light, appearing and disappearing from room to room, Calian talks to her again.

"I tried to catch the rain outside the window. You don't like things that won't get caught."

"Meow!"

No matter how much I look at it, I talk back.

Whether I wanted to say it was unfair, whether I wanted to say it was going to happen without even knowing it, or whether it was all because of you, it was clear that I was talking back.

Calian took a piece of Dried Beef and gave it to Lucy because he felt sorry for making fun of you. Lucy runs away screaming, biting a smelly snack and going far away. Then he became a happy face and started eating jerky with a salty sound.

After watching, Calian opens his mouth again, seeing that little life that was becoming endlessly peaceful underneath.

"I told you I'd have a dog, but I'm raising you."

To be precise, Lucy was raising peas, but whoever was growing them was Calian's cat.

The human voice goes once, the cat cries once again, and so does Doran, who spends her time doing nothing for a moment.

After a while, Jan comes in with a knock. After that, Kalian looks at the blue-haired wizard, smiling.

"Is everything all right?"

Arsen nods and replies as he looks at the bandage on his shoulders.

"Your concern has helped me heal quickly, Prince."

Callian just laughs again, afraid he'll be disappointed if he doesn't worry at all.

Yan, who was out for a moment, returns and drops off a pile of red cherries and red tea that are completely opposite to Arsen's hair.

Callian turns to Arsen, who cuts a corner of the cake and eats a bite.

"I heard you had something important to tell me."

If that's nonsense, I was going to break my arm again right away, asking you to allow me to make one of those strange statues.

"Yes, Prince. I have something to tell you."

In fact, I thought I'd get permission for that one day, but luckily, Arsen didn't bring it up today.

"Knight Karen's knight came to see me today. And I sent him something, and he told me that your brother, the deputy commander, had been absent all day."

Oh, I see.

Not today.

I remembered Plants saying he had work to do and was busy. He was probably trying to go to the Knights, but he didn't seem to have any urgent business, so he struggled with it, but it seemed like a Cecretian bird had arrived in between.

Kalyan looks at some of the papers that Arsenal pulls out of his arms.

Apparently Chase sent that letter before he and Calian had a conversation that said he could trust Arsen.

So it was clear that Sezark had found Arsenal on behalf of Plants that Chase himself had put Arsenal in the realm of someone he could trust.

"But, prince, I wasn't trying to look at it on purpose, but I accidentally dropped my letter, and I saw a little bit of content. And of course, they didn't tell us otherwise."

Chase, who was placed into the category of a trustworthy person, asked to deliver a letter through Arsen if the plant was absent and the plant was not in place. It was Kalian that caused Plants to be absent.

"I'd like to know what you have to do with the prince of Cecretia."

So it was Calian's fault that Arsen brought it up.
