How to Live as the Enemy Prince

< Chapter 51 - Puberty (3) >

Plants smiles.

Kalian doesn't smile.

There is one who smiles, not caring about the sword that digs his throat, but there is one who does not smile with a knife to his throat.

At this moment, two people who could hardly tell who was more insane looked into each other's eyes as if there was no one around. After a long time, the knights did not intervene between the two, and Arsen did not.

- Thump, thump, thump.

Red blood flows down the blade from the deep cut and plummets. The moonlight crept down, leaving a dark mark on the sand.

A long sword, engraved with different writing, shines down the red eyes, following a drop of blood that emits the same light as his. Without saying a word, Calian's gaze rises again to face Plants.

Now that everyone here has been told to explain, Plants, who was breathless by the red blade in Calian's hand, should understand. Plants, however, did not give any answer. They face Kalian with green eyes that are hard to read, whether they are worry-free or fearless.

How much time has passed.

About the time you thought the sound of the clock ticking was louder than the sound of the waves that Kalian put in his pocket.

"My brother must be very angry."

It wasn't until Plants opened his mouth.

But that wasn't the answer.

"Explanation first. I'll listen."

"No."

Plants across their heads brace their arms, regardless of whether the blade hit their necks or not. With the sword you've been pulling out for a long time, you strike Calian's sword against his neck with horror.

- Ka-ang!

Half of the blade is shining with a dry moonlight.

From start to finish, it was the sword that Calian handed you. Plants glances back at Calian and rolls one lip long.

And a long time later, I made a loud voice.

"· · · · · · Insolent pups."

With a spilling voice behind you, the crooked, sword plantings leave your seat. With no eyes on the bodies of the four distant spheres.

Calian, who was following behind Plants with his narrow eyes, gives a quiet, silent voice.

"Sir Hertz, get me the crystal. I got you as much as I could, and you left it."

"I understand."

"Get the knights to clear the area. I'll go first."

"Where are you going?"

"Royal Palace."

"Your journey may be dangerous. I'll leave the arrangements to the knights and go with them."

"I don't think there will be any more attacks."

"But, prince, Now,"

"Alone. Quiet."

"· · · · · · · Understood."

Calian nods. And a moment ago, Plants followed the path he had walked.

After all, we had the same direction to go, so we will walk the same path even if we do not accompany them. One footprint, one blood trail, and two scents of blood run long over the sand.

The play is over.

* * *

The wind blows after a voice that always seemed to calm down.

"Kirrie."

The voice waves like the wings of a lost bird in the wind, and the hind horse does not succeed. However, Kyrie, who had no idea what was on the other end, lowered her head slightly and relayed the answer. It was toward Chase, who Plants called out.

"Sorry, I can't get out of the way."

It wasn't just Kalian who couldn't see all of Plants' insides, not knowing exactly how many thoughts he was thinking at once. Chase's insight did not allow him to read what plans he was executing now.

No, it must have been crazy to read it.

Just one.

- The knights who came with you when you came to Cairys. I don't think it was Devil's knight.

- Yes, they are.

- Tailan Castrin. That's right.

- It's under the care of Lord Castrin, but to be precise, these are my knights.

- My brother used to take care of it.

- That's right. Is there a problem with that?

- Royal Ocean of Cecretia. Get your driver here now. With rachel grace on our side.

- Prince Plants. You need an explanation. Why do you ask that? Why you summoned me and Lord Castrin. You know, it's hard for me to stay away from the palace for long.

- The warriors of the Great Desert have come. Here. To my brother.

- How did they suddenly show up? Why is Prince Plants there?

- It doesn't matter why. Come on. Come on. Take the famous knight.

Plants spoke faster than ever.

I stopped communicating without hearing Chase's reply as soon as he told me there was an attack on Xeon. As usual, I did not ignore the explanation because I was annoyed. I know I did not have time to explain.

So I had to go now. Out of the palace.

"· · · · · · · Kyrie."

"I'm sorry."

He was able to block Chase's way because he had no memory of his past, and Chase was unable to push him away because he had memory.

Unlike measuring how he felt when he lost his brother while he was helpless, Kiri couldn't fully understand how Chase felt when he learned that he was being attacked outside. Because Chase knows what kind of death Kiri suffered for Bern, and so now he knows what he's running from and what he's not running from.

"No matter what happens out there, Prince Chase said you must be inside the palace. You said you were under attack from Xeon, but if things were bad or really urgent, Prince Chase would have reached out to Prince Plants himself, not Prince Plants. So please wait."

So I stopped, so I stopped.

"The prince will not die."

Knowing that it was meant for him, not Chase, Chase looked at him standing still with no other answer.

At that time, one person stepped forward who could not fully empathize with Chase's feelings.

"Step aside."

Tailan.

Tailan, who was watching Chase's encounter behind him, did not know exactly what was going on, but clearly understood that Kalian was dangerous and that Chase was trying to get out. I opened my mouth briefly and put one foot forward.

Kyrie stands in front of Tailan without hesitation, and Tailan opens his mouth again.

"Do you know who you're standing in front of?"

"I am a knight bound by Prince Kalian, the Third Prince of Cairys."

Tailan's glabella frowns.

"Neither Prince Chase nor Lord Castrin can command me."

"It doesn't matter. Stand down or I'll make you stand down."

After Tailan's words, Kyrie's hands grip the sword. It means that we will stop them without obstructing the means.

Things are going crazy around here.

The business between Chase and Devil was interfering with Calian's plan to hunt snakes, and Plants intervened. Kalian is caught in Plants' plan to catch the snake and Chase is shaking.

As a result, the loyal knights of Kalian and Chase face each other.

In fact, how long can Kiri last against Tailan, the first sword on the continent? The question is, as long as she puts her name on her mouth, it doesn't just become a knight-to-knight problem.

"Lord Castrin. Stop."

In the end, Chase stepped up and blocked the two of them.

You can't let two knights fight in front of the palace gate.

Tailan immediately bites his foot, and Kyrie sees it pull the power out of his black hand.

Chase recovers from the struggle between the two knights, cooling off the intricately intertwined thoughts of the Kalian.

Of course, we can't talk to Kalian, who is fighting the Great Desert Warriors belonging to Xeon, and do anything to distract him. Because of this, Chase was able to sort out these sudden situations one by one based on Plants' story and what he knew.

What happens when Chase goes outside?

Chase's knights. And Zeon's attack.

Chase nods at Kiri, looking down at his toes and clearing his mind for a long time.

"Yes. I'm not going out there. But if you have any other news, let me know. I'll wait."

"Yes, I understand. Thank you."

Chase turns his head to Tailan, not mentioning what he had concluded at the end of the thought.

"Lord Castrin. Can I talk to you for a second? I need to check something."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Tailan, short answer, follows Chase.

Kyrie looked down at the back of those two for a long time and took her hands off the sword.

Calian's fight will be over by now, or Calian will be safe.

- Multiple attributes are the same circle, so Sir Hertz won't have a problem putting Sir Seiren or Lord Grace to bed. It's the same circle, so you can get up in no time. If two happen, then...

Either Uriah and Rachel, who Arsen put back and forth, are awake, and Eila is doing her part.

Kyrie took a long sigh and moved back to all the worries that were piling up without being gone. It was to continue Calian's plan for Plants' fall back, just in case.

* * *

You don't open your mouth to get out of the sea and into the small forest.

- I'm afraid you're not hurt.

I think I've caused you unnecessary worry.

- No, if nothing happens.

- Did you come out of the palace?

- Kiry's stubborn. He's usually stubborn. Don't worry, he's still inside, not a step out.

Polygonal, polygonal.

A silver horse a few steps ahead. Khalian, who saw the blue burrito cloak of the one sitting on it shaking, asked Chase a question.

- Nothing else happened.

- Yeah, it's quiet. Fathers, nobles.

Callian takes a quick breath from the nobles, and Chase continues.

- We'd better come back and talk about the exact story. I need to talk to Castrin about progress.

- Yes, sir. I'll be right there.

Callian opens his eyes to let Chase know he's safe and sound. Blubber, and Raven makes a small noise.

"It's okay."

Callian looks forward again, touching Raven's neck.

Raven's feet soon became a little faster.

Estina's feet are a little slow for how she knew.

When the two horses stand side by side, Calian opens his mouth.

"You're in a hurry."

Sometimes I feel genuine about coming to the play, and after confirming that Plants tried to lure Callian and Chase into the act, it still stands a little bit longer and the voice continues to carry more fatigue.

"Politics is not about subtracting. It is highly unlikely that they will fit as you think. Like today, you don't know that there will be variables."

Instead of asking why he did what he did, or asking why his neck wound was a little sore, he quietly rebuked.

With a voice next to it, Plants does not answer.

It was Plants who always screwed up Calian's plan, but this time it was the other way around. Calian ruined everything Plants had planned. Of course, Plants, knowing that he had done things his own way without notifying Kalian in advance, only looked forward.

"And if you draw your sword without covering up your opponent, you will die."

Plants frowned.

What's there to stand for when a man who watches a cat pulls out a sword? They must have come to fight the Great Desert Warriors. Well, maybe he just wanted to get rid of the sudden arcene.

Thanks to this, I saw Plants' blood to bring back what had become what it was. It was better for Devilan to slit his throat than for him to try to reach for one of the plants in the bay. I was angry, too, but the reason was bigger.

"I would have thought of something else if you had spoken up."

"What talk."

It's hard to hear the answer once.

Who could have been killed.

· · · · · · · No. I bought it.

"I tried to deceive the Devil, but the nobles were deceived. So I'm trying to save his life, and I need you to make up for it."

Plants once again frowns upon Calian's words. Even though I didn't say anything, I didn't like his red eyes.

"You ask me what I know."

"Kiri overheard you talking to some knight in the garden. I understand that the nobles are up to something and that Devil has a lot of interest in me."

"Stop talking. I'll explain when I get there."

"Yes."

"And..."

I've been told to stop barking a lot, but I don't know what to say.

"I don't know how many Mana my brother has. I want you to stop trying to get rid of the blood smell."

This is a little more unfamiliar.

Calian, who looks a little surprised, forgets to stop talking and opens his mouth again.

"You already know that much. You know better than I thought."

"Shut up. Shut up."

"Yes."

With an annoying voice, Plants stops Kalian from speaking again. Then she pulls something out of Estina's saddle and throws it to Callian.

Calian looks at the bandage in his hand and smiles bloody.

"I don't think that's enough. No more."

"Nothing."

"Yes."

The reason I decided to go alone after biting the knights.

Why Arsen was worried and Raven was nervous. Reason for making me feel safe instead of saying that I'm not hurt.

Khalian opens his mouth, wrapped in a deep, long scarf on his waist, left behind by a grey-haired warrior in a cloak.

"Happy birthday," he said. "

"Okay."

We don't know how people come to know that they know when they celebrate. You should just say thank you at this point.

Calian shuts his eyes while he stops pretending to be okay.

"You have nothing to worry about."

"I won't."

"Yes."

Two diverse horses hoof sounds long and dark at night.

In the same direction, the two footprints that ended up walking the same path remained side-by-side on a solid dirt road.
