How to Live as the Enemy Prince

< Chapter 45. Visiting the Sea (6) >

There was a day when I set foot inside the rainbow.

I was curious about what it felt like to go inside. When I stand in the world and look at the rainbow, I can see all kinds of colors, so if I look at the world in the rainbow, I can see only pretty colors without black. I thought that there was a day when I went to the end of the rainbow and set my foot on it, and I was disappointed.

- Shoot him.

You hear a big sound of water and a fog like drop pops up on your face. There are two rainbows floating on the waterfall that fall off the edge of the cliff.

'It was probably about the same age as now.'

Calian smiles deeply as he recalls one day, when he doesn't know exactly which day.

Silver white horses standing by the water saw Plants moving their feet to the tip of the rainbow while drinking clear and cold water.

'At this age, all ideas are the same.'

Brother, Kalian said you'd be disappointed if you went in there. He just shut up.

What his name means, how long Lucy's waist is, and the things with Bern. I felt like I'd never seen anything other than this before, so I let it go.

Whether that bastard, like the sprout of barley with less sunlight, is disappointed or disappointed, he gets one memory instead of disappointment. I thought it would be better than what was piled up in the palace.

'So in the end, you did everything wrong.'

After all, I didn't have enough to name my child Plants, but I didn't bring a cat into a big palace, so I ended up making a guy with so many hands.

Even now, when I go home, I have to look at the corn beard, which is more than that barley sprout, and I'm the youngest.

Oh, I see.

Suddenly I'm hungry.

"I don't think you're listening to me."

"I'm listening. I'm thinking about it."

KaIian looks back at Siona's words from Plants as she enters the rainbow and spreads her palms. You see the lunatics going into the valley water and spreading fire.

"· · · · · · · Why are you trying to light a fire in the water?"

"You said you were thinking."

"I'm thinking."

You seem a bit odd to notice the reason for the fire in the water at first glance. Calian, who ignored Shiona's gaze, looks away from the wizards and looks at the knights. I could see her leaning against a wooden column or sitting on a rock and resting. The clothes will get wet, but those fire-breathing lunatics will dry them off on their own, so it's as if they're just resting.

It's a good thing there aren't some crazy ones.

Raven would have been the most rational without the knights.

"Actually, there are three things I hate."

After gazing at the prince in the rainbow and the burning sorcerers in the water one more time, Calian opens his mouth, stroked Raven's neck very carefully.

"Elves. Fighting elves. Dealing with Elves."

Callian looks at Siona with a big smile.

"But if the elf with the knife came to me to make a deal, I'd love it. I'd hate it."

"I seem to have forgotten I was a warrior in the Great Desert before I was an Elf."

"Ah. And I don't like the wolves of the Great Desert, the wolves of the Great Desert following me, the wolves of the Great Desert attacking me. You've done so much on your own, I'm gonna love it, I'm gonna hate it."

Siona shuts up for a moment.

Once he was 20 years younger than himself, he did not pay much attention to hearing the footsteps of the prince. It's not a concern because they left their identities and were completely different species.

So Callian just kept talking.

First of all, I did something wrong with the knife, so I think I can do this.

"No matter how many days it takes for the Elven City to hide, I can find it. And it's hard to ask for the information and pebbles I have in exchange for a thorough commitment to investigate Xeon together."

I'll help you find the Elven City and share the results of the investigation into Xeon. Give me what Kalian has learned so far and the Black pebble that Kalian has.

Siona told me that she came to Kalian to say that she had discovered a campfire that had been set ablaze by Calian's group on her way out of the Elven City. After meeting her, I became curious and started fighting, but the goal was to find Kalian.

Then Kalian got up, ate breakfast, and moved his feet again because he was afraid of the word "deal" coming out of his mouth. Then I saw the water flowing down the waterfall, and the horses were resting and stopping for a moment.

Calian smiles at you with a smile on his face.

"How I knew I had the stone, how I knew I was going after Xeon. You didn't say that either."

"I can't tell you exactly because I can't trust you completely either, and I don't want to be taken powerlessly to make a deal, but I don't need any more explanations."

"That's an interesting thing to say, Siona."

The sound of a small laugh is obscured by the sound of the waterfall.

You feel the energy in Calian's eyes.

"Stealing it. I didn't kill it because I thought it would hurt. You know why you say that."

Siona nods without a reaction.

Because of this, Kalian was a little surprised.

In fact, I don't see Siona's error right now. And when she saw him, she said, "Black-haired, red-eyed." I recognize him by his looks, not by his intentions.

That meant one thing.

that the two errors are the same or similar. Both are blind to each other's errors.

However, Khalian didn't even notice Siona's approach until she heard the intentional bubble. So Zion must have known the same thing.

"Not at all. I said something strange."

"Too soon to admit it."

Nevertheless, I was surprised by the way she admitted that Calian had saved her life. Some bad elf that Kalian went through didn't try to bend his pride.

"It's a matter of the Great Desert. As you may know, the power of this group, the Xeon, is unusual. After a tribal chieftain in the Great Desert with me asked me to find out about them, the men I was chasing attacked your men not long ago and died on you. I took a look at the bodies you buried, and I found all of their hearts torn apart."

"The ones who attacked Lord Hertz."

I remember killing the men who attacked Arsen in the forest and burying them all before Alan came back. When Alan sees them, he seems more concerned about them than Callian.

Siona must have identified the body.

"That's right. Then a month ago, I met another one of Zeon's men here, and I killed one, and something like that came up. If I'd remembered the kids that met you, I wouldn't have stabbed them in the heart, but I didn't think about it, and the stone broke together. It's been over a month since I broke up with them, and I don't think it's going to be easy to get my tail back, so I thought I'd rather share information with you."

After all, you need a stone for the same reason as Calian.

As a matter of fact, you're welcome as Callian. I heard you already have several Black marble stones in question, and if you investigate from the Great Desert, you may find a bit different information.

There was just one problem.

"Explain how I'm supposed to trust you."

"You don't think the Elves lie. My mother hates it when trees lie."

I said no to Elves, said no to Desert Warriors, and I said no to Elves, so I don't lie because I'm an Elf. Calian frowns at the thought of a man who freely crosses between the prince and his deputy commander whenever I need him.

I couldn't think of any other way to look at Kalian and believe in myself, so she said a serious voice.

"If it doesn't work, you have to fight and take it."

"Do you use magic besides your sword?"

I don't know why it's so progressive, Wizard.

Shiona opens her mouth again, looking at the smiling Khalian.

"I know it's dangerous. Doesn't it make a difference if we get back into their hands? We'd better investigate together."

Calian opens his mouth, tapping Raven's saddle for a moment.

"I'll do that until we exchange the information we'll learn. But handing over rocks takes time to think."

Kalian's finger points to the droplet hanging from Siona's sword.

"I'm not sure if it's confident or arrogant to wear it. There is no guarantee that you will not use the power of the stone in a strange direction."

Siona frowns.

Calian leans back slightly, adding that he doesn't seem to mind.

"Lead us to the Elven City. I don't think there's much work to be done. If you like, I'll give you what you want. What do you think?"

Siona said, catching up with them again and chasing after them and chasing after Calian for a few days, and taking a moment to figure out what's full of them.

"Okay. I'll do that."

"Good."

Finally, Calian, who made a second deal with the Elves, adds that it seems like an important matter.

"Ah. If you like grass, take care of your food. I don't know."

Siona nods.

The fact that I grew up in the hands of the Great Desert Warriors from a childhood I don't remember and that there are not many grass in the Great Desert. Because of this, the word elf who eats meat really well is omitted.

* * *

Callian opens his mouth as he hears the sound of grass brushing.

"Congratulations."

"What."

"Thanks to Siona, you'll get back to the palace sooner."

By the way, I said it was less time to wander around looking for Elven Cities.

Plants nods unyieldingly and opens its mouth further ahead.

"It's worth believing."

Kalian looks at those plants.

From time to time, Plants opened his mouth again because he was making a face when he heard something he did not understand.

"I could have blackmailed my people, but I didn't."

"You mean the dawn."

Plants nods.

Instead of holding Balkans or Plants hostage, we started with a fight and came up with a point. That kind of personality doesn't mean we can just trust it.

It would be more advantageous if there was Siona in the situation where she was going to talk to the Elves, but it would not be like Calian to try not to hold hands with her mouth for such a long time. Neither Randall, nor Plants, ever held hands.

"I can't threaten you. I'll die as soon as I put my hand in my fence."

Plants grins.

Such confidence.

"As an elf. Not all Elves in the world are like Hinas."

"There are elves like Hina."

Of course, Hina was a Half-Elf.

"Now you've learned how to teach."

By the way, Khalian was able to understand just now that there are elves like Hina and Sia, so there's no need to hate every elf.

"Very well. I'll look at it without bias."

"Got it."

Kalian nods, smiling and raising a question.

"What color did you go in to see?"

"Color."

"Rainbow."

"No."

"Then why did you go in?"

"To check."

"May I ask what you've seen?"

"No."

"Yes."

I didn't intend to bother you about not wanting to talk, so Calian nods his head without foolishness again.

"To make sure the water doesn't run out."

Plants turns to his brother, who never asks twice, and says,

"You've been checking it out."

"I don't know."

Calian opens his mouth once again, clearing the grass that he had been wiping all day.

"Peas are peas, even though the grass is all around them. It's not picking up."

"All around the grass, my brother barks well."

"Usually barks better outside."

Needleren, who came from behind, did not see the puzzling look on his face as he listened to the puzzle-like conversation that popped up without even trying.

In fact, you should not have cared.

It was probably Kalian who had understood that Plants was the only one who had seen Plants even though they had lived in that spectacular city so far, so there was no need to look at other people's faces or express Silent.

"Over here."

One of them waited, barking, and he heard Siona's voice as he walked down the road.

A moment ago, Siona is standing in one place waiting for the group.

Khalian nods first in front of Siona, and Needleen comes in front of Plants on her behalf.

Siona sets foot in one of the first spots in the forest. He disappears in front of the group.

After everything that had happened before, Kalian did not hesitate to follow behind. Then Needlen and Plants, and then the rest of the crew come inside.

"Ah."

A short sound came from the mouth of an unknown person.

It was also an admirer and an expression of surprise.

"Amazing. This isn't the last town I saw, but it's a city."

Kalian says he appreciates it, and the others don't talk anymore. Everyone had to lose their horses.

It reminds me of the crystal glass that was placed on the supper.

When I put it under the magic lamp, I think of a chandelier that glows with a rainbow.

There was a tree far away that was shining in all directions under clear sunlight. A tree as big as I thought it would be around the royal palace of Cairis. The city of the Elves that enters and surrounds the tree is before your eyes.

And after that.

"· · · · · · the sea."

There was a vast expanse of water.

"Yes. Eventually."

Callian, who entered the forest and faced the sea, gave a quiet reply to Plants' words.

"You've come to see the sea."

Like a rainbow in your imagination.

It's like stepping one foot out of the forest and into a whole different world.

Calian opens his mouth as he stares at that beautiful face for a long time.

"How do you burn that, by the way?"

I thought it was a tree.

It's not the tree I knew once.

Plants smiled as if he had never forgotten the purpose of calling for this place. The knights sweep the hilt of the sword with their fierce angles, and the wizards, including Needleren, are deeply troubled.

A group of elves approaches from nearby.

Calian's red lips paint a deep tan, ready to bark properly.
