How to Live as the Enemy Prince

Surprised, delighted, relieved.

I should have.

I was just sorry.

I was sorry that I couldn't get out any of the questions about how I knew myself, when I had known myself, why I had waited so long, and how short or long.

I was sorry all the time for saying that I missed you.

You've been wanting to see me all along and I've been forgetting about it. Because I forgot that you were sick because of the excuse that my life was painful, and I didn't even ask for that short greeting until I saw your face and thought I'd be happy to see you again.

I'm sorry about that.

I'm sorry to raise my head.

Mother.

You feel sorry for a long time with your little narrow shoulders against your forehead.

- Cheers.

Green maple tea tastes sour.

A red maple tea tastes sweet.

No mint, no coffee.

There were no green or red maple leaves floating in the pale brown tea water that was closer to transparency.

It looks orange and yellow, and now it tastes all sorts of things in this maple leaf tea. That's funny. That doesn't mean it's completely sour, and that doesn't mean it tastes sweet or bitter somehow, which makes me think of Grapefruit, which is funny. I just thought about it for no other reason.

'When I get back, I'm going to see Randall.'

I have to let Randall's heart go when he's delayed coming here. Don't just take the peas. Take a look at the skinny reed trunk. When we get back.

Yeah, it is.

When we get back.

I was glad to hear that.

The Maple Tea reminds me of Grapefruit, and it reminds me of Randall. Thank God for that.

Otherwise, I would have almost mistaken this country for where I would be staying. It was only for a moment that I almost forgot that there was a new brother and a new father, and that I had to go through this country and return to my country again.

I almost forgot for a moment.

"Bern."

My little voice stuck to my feet.

* * *

Kiri doesn't hear anything.

After Louise walks in, she hears everything in the room, but she doesn't hear anything.

Since one day, Calian has been silent, including where Kiri is located, if Kiri is nearby. I allowed Kiri to hear it, even if there was a conversation she didn't want others to hear. You take great care not to think Kiri steals Calian's conversation with those good ears.

Same thing this time.

Kalian has built a Silent Barracks all the way to Kiri. So Kiri didn't hear anything.

I heard everything, but I pretended I didn't hear anything. I heard that it was only a month before I had a dream that I fell into a strange memory, but I also pretended that I hadn't heard about it.

- Bern.

I also pretended that there was someone who called Calian by that name. Khalian didn't think he'd hear that. If I'd known, I wouldn't have let Cyril broaden her silence to listen to it.

That name isn't the surest proof that Chase has found his own memory. So Khalian knew that if someone other than Chase found the memory, he would want the same for Kiri. And Kalian didn't want Kiri to find his memory.

If Kyrie finds the memory of Bern, she will know exactly what happened to Hina, but she also knows that she is not the one who wishes Kyrie to have that memory again.

So he pretended not to hear it.

A long time later, Louise comes out and Kiri bows down and greets for a long time. It's like looking at Allen or Remain.

"I heard you were there. She has a beautiful sister with her."

"Yes, it is."

"Now that it's your name, I know I shouldn't call her that. Cesar didn't give me any news like that."

Louise's memory of returning from the moment the winds in Cairys started blowing. But this time, he wasn't sick long because Chase was with him.

He doesn't know Louise, but Louise knows him. It's natural to think about it. Since Kiri couldn't have left Bern's side, Louise must have seen Kiri a lot.

"Yes, thank God and thank God."

And Louise said the same thing to Callian.

Kalian's foolish habit of not putting a missing person in the calculation instead of Hina being by his side is probably similar to Luis, but Kiri thought so.

"Cesar sent me a bridegroom. I told him not to come here, but he finally stepped up. However, I won't be coming to thank you again while the prince's party is here, so I won't make the mistake of calling him that again, so if you ever see me out there again, don't greet him like that."

"Yes, I will."

You will not be able to talk or greet others as you would today. So Kyrie had to stay out of trouble. I had to be careful not to treat Louise like Calian's mother.

Soon, the silence that had reached the vicinity of Kiri disappeared. So Louise couldn't say any more.

Do you still sleep as you do now, so do you always sleep in the morning and wake up late in the morning, have you eaten well and laughed well, do you feel uncomfortable living far away, do the people there treat you well, do you get caught up in so many places and have a scar, and will you be able to do well and not get sick in the future?

I wanted to ask Kiri a lot of the things she couldn't say to Callian, but she just nodded and turned back because she couldn't. A lot of things you can't say later.

- Again, again.

The sound of small shoes getting calmed down becomes distant.

- Jubbuck, Jubbuck.

The sound of shoes you don't have to hide from anyone is getting closer.

- Again.

Louise's shoes stopped.

- Jubbuck.

Plants' shoes stopped.

Kiri takes a short breath.

In front of the crowd, Louise faced Plants and did not have much color. But I don't think I can right now. Even now, I have to follow Luis and stand between the two with one brief thought.

- Again, again.

- Jubbuck, Jubbuck.

But it drifts away again, gets closer again.

Louise takes a quiet step out of the annex, still unassuming. Plants, who still have nothing to hide, enters the annex. So someone comes out and someone comes in.

So, the day passed and the night came.

* * *

It's always like this.

I really don't understand.

It is always like this, whether the scope of understanding is as wide as the sea in front of the Elven City or deep enough to hold the whole world.

"Sir, are you afraid of heights?"

I should have known when I asked you this.

Plants, who had momentarily forgotten that the scope of the concept was truly extraordinary, answered without much thought.

"No."

Go.

There was nothing particularly high in the royal palace of Cairys, but the place where Narjan was the commander of the Elven City was quite high, wasn't it? When I went up to the top of the rock mountain on my way here, I never felt 'scared' in particular, so I answered.

"Yes."

In Calian's short answer,

'Good. I think I'll be bored if I go alone and I'll want to have a drink with Kiri, so I'll just go with you.'

If he knew it was worth it, he would have lied. I'm afraid of heights.

Of course, I know it would have been the same.

He can't lie, but he's good at finding out. So even if I lied, I would have rolled it back into the lobe like I did the last time, and put it on that high ground, but somehow Plants would have lied. I'm not going with my crazy brother, so you go by yourself.

"Crazy."

"You know it's not a day or two before I turn around and say something new."

Think about it with common sense.

How is he planning on bringing me here? Wouldn't you think of that if it was a human being and not a crazy head?

Plants, who can't figure out what to say, just walks to the ledge of the spire and looks away.

"I heard. You asked Chase to come here."

"I've been watching."

Climbing the Tower of the Capital City means you won't see anything special. I've memorized both the streets of Cairysis and the birdshed, but not that much. Plants is also memorizing the map of Cecreta. Moreover, any bookstore on Astricia Street had a map of Cecretia and Cecreta. Of course it's the same with Cecretia. It's been too long for both countries to say that it's confidential.

So even if Devil finds out that the two princes are now on the spire, it won't be a big deal. Around tomorrow, you'll come for a tour of the royal palace.

"Yes. That's why I wanted to come with you. I was just wondering if you were wondering."

"No."

"Anyway, great. It's been a long time."

Because of this, Kalian smiles with a worry-free face as he climbs up here and looks down at the capital of Sacritia unfolding beneath his feet. The frowned face of Plants was determined not to be seen at all.

"I can't come with Chase. There are lots of eyes to see, but there are other places I'm supposed to go when things get better, so it's hard to come here together. And Kyrie and I haven't decided yet."

Calian pauses, swallowing the wind for a moment before opening his mouth again.

"I can't eat."

"I didn't say anything."

"I think you will."

"Half past."

"· · · · · · · · · ·."

The wind was quite cold, but not cold.

Khalian was neither hot nor cold, and Plants was very hot or cold, but fine. Before coming here, I didn't feel cold thanks to the blue burrito cloak Alan gave me for my birthday.

"You took Devil's gaze and spread it all the way to your heart's content, but it's weird that I'm the only one here."

Callian raises his finger to draw a long arc line in front of Plants' eyes.

Kalian also recognizes what Chase saw.

Plants copied who and why.

In short, if you try to trick Devilan into coming up here alone and tremble at Calian, you'll immediately see who's impersonating someone who isn't like you, and you'll just come with them. That's a reasonable excuse.

"Tell me. Don't hide it."

"I need to tell you something else."

"My brother's old mother came."

"· · · · · Anyway, my brother has a good head and is quick to see."

"Tell me. Don't bark."

Plants saw Louis come and go.

He looks at himself and sees Louise walking away without a word. Whether you heard the story or dreamed it, Plants knows that Louise didn't come here to say thank you to Callian.

"He remembers my old name. It's been a long time since I heard that name, and I'm familiar with it, so I almost said yes."

So, in the end, Calian brought Plants to keep in mind.

"I thought my brother's name was Calian. Wasn't it?"

I brought him here because he has the audacity to teach me something like this. How bold and consistent. Somewhere like this.

"That's right, Khalian."

Plants sits on the tip of the spire opposite where Callian stood.

Kyrie saw the encounter with Louise, and she knew it. So Calian knows that Plants took each other up to Calian Boulevard to catch a short breath. I don't really care about Plants, and I know I have to care about Plants to get up here like this.

So Plants decided not to mind either. Since you said you're fine, it means don't be uncomfortable being stuck in a place you don't remember.

"There's a lot of wind."

"I'm sure you'll find a way."

Kalian laughs.

Soon, Kalian told Chase that he was in sanity and that he could see far away on a really long, long day, and that he slept with Kiri when he drank and fell asleep here. He said a lot without hesitating.

I couldn't help but overhear it.

"Later."

I cut off many of Kalian's words and opened my mouth.

I don't think it's a bad idea for Calian to be king, Plants to go to Brissen and raise cats, and then come back to live with the promise of having a heart like that.

"Come and live. Come back here."

"You mean me?"

Then it's you or me.

Why am I here? Do you have something to do with the blood?

"I'll get it in the hands of the blue-haired mad wizard, so come and live. I know enough to breathe in the palace of Cairis now."

"I don't want to."

You hear Calian's smile in Plants' ears, clapping his fist at what he learned from you.

"I'm just going to keep the dog, so you can keep the cat."

"· · · · · · · Why."

There's Chase, there's Arianne, there's Louise, there's Sacritia, there's Dad, there's Jan, there's my two over-handed brothers, there's my strangled father, there's Cairis.

"It's Callian."

Callian laughs.

I let him say he said he was returning the favor.

The day after tomorrow, I won't be in the same class, so until then, I'm going to be a generous big brother.

* * *

The moon is bright and there are many stars.

- Is something wrong?

- No, it's just...

Late at night, the moon is bright and there are many stars.

I came to Cecretia. I met Louise.

I haven't forgotten what I said. So I wanted to hear Hina's voice.

- Were you sleeping, Hina?

- No, I didn't.

It's always fun to talk to Kiri.

I was glad to be able to talk without putting down what was in my hand, and to feel like Kiri was right next to me anytime, anywhere.

So Hina took the fork from the plate in her hand and said.

- I went out for dinner, but everybody here did. We were all eating cake and cookies together.

After it rained, I remembered the little rainbow by the sunny window.

Between the rainbow bread piled up on the floor, there was a lot of sweet cream. Hina, who went out onto the terrace with her greedy cake, said with a mouthful of cake.

It's a bright moon and lots of stars.

Amazingly, Hina said,

He said the same thing.

Kyrie, who stood in a garden full of Begonian scent and looked up at her head for a long time, smiles and replies.

The moon is bright and there are stars.

- Yeah, it's like a ton of sparkles.

Yeah.

I thought there would be another pretty name when you call me inside. It wasn't.

Kyrie laughs a little, thinking about the great words that Kalian gave her for her birthday.

- What's so funny?

- No, there's no such thing. I just like it.

- Did something good happen?

Precious.

Suddenly, I laughed because Hina was so precious.

You have to protect him this time.

Take good care of her.

- It's a lot of stars. I smiled because it sparkled, Hina.

One red star in the sky, one blue star.

And seeing so many silver stars guarding it, Kiri smiled.
