How to Live as the Enemy Prince

< Chapter 52. Be patient, brother (1) >

In the course of life, there is a day when you are prepared to die, about once.

If someone says this to Kalian, you'll see a pretty face that blinks its big eyes. It is because almost every day when I lived in Bern was that day, and because I was prepared to die even on the last day I met, I did not have a reason to say that day 'once.'

The same was true of the old Kalian life. Even Yan sneaked in and out of the royal palace secretly and practiced magic by himself was like crossing a bridge between windy valleys for the old Khalian.

So the way Kalian lives now must be different.

That's why Kalian was prepared to die without a second thought.

How am I supposed to eat someone's breath and survive without even trying to die? I felt naturally aroused as if I was breathing, blinking, or passing a needle through my mouth. And I said,

Wait for me. I'll save you.

- I don't want to.

But I don't want to.

It's not the answer to waiting, but strangely enough, Calian understands very well.

"· · · · · · I'm not going to die trying to protect you. I'm not dying."

"I know."

Is the assertion without conviction true or false?

It was hard to assess whether it was true or not, and Plants gave me a straight answer.

With Plants' smarter answer than anyone else, Calian smiles as if not dying was probably the truth. I wanted to know where else he learned the peculiar ability to make contradictory words uttered by someone who was prepared to die as a habit.

After that, the conversation of the two brothers quickly took place in a short amount of time between the five nervous prosecutors approaching one step.

"Sir, you've only hurt one person's body once. I told him to say his name properly, and instead of eating, he threw the main knife."

"· · · · · · · · I know."

"I was injured at the time. I still have the scar, and I won't forget it until I die."

"I know."

While wearing such a body, my mouth moves well.

Whether you didn't intend to run away, or noticed Calian's condition, Calian's voice sank a little deeper as he watched the knights slowly approaching, rather than looking away with a nervous face.

"It's going to be a lot different than that. You'll never forget that you're different until you die."

"I know."

Thanks to his twitchy mind,

'Raven talks in two different ways. Blubber, blubber, blubber.'

Calian takes a big breath, almost barking for a moment. Then, being treated as lacking in verbal proficiency than Raven opened his mouth again to his brother until he died.

"Yes."

Actually, it's not that easy to move your body right now. I think I'll stop before I go after the two warriors in front of me. So if you just hold on to the five prosecutors, I'll take the two warriors behind me. Arsen will be here soon. Just hold on a second.

Don't die.

Short speech.

I finished a short speech with a lot of words. They'll understand what it means in those short words, and they'll understand what intelligent Plants means.

Kalian kicks the ground once with his toes.

I woke up once and hit the floor again. Harder, harder than you just did.

- Ta-ah!

A black shadow hides in the dark.

The scent of blood, like the shadow of a sword emitting red light, fades for a moment.

Plants slowly closes his eyes and opens.

The five prosecutors in front recognized that they were 'real enemies.' I have realised that this is not a fake battle against my brother or any of the Balkans.

The user holds two swords of different colors in his hand.

Two swords that contain the same star but produce different light suddenly begin to draw the first trajectory.

- Caaaaang!

The claws of distant predators claw at each other burst like a roar.

A second battle has begun.

* * *

Kalian never forced me to.

Not to mention coercion, but I never picked it up. If possible, I instructed you not to overdo it as much as possible, since going back is fine.

It's about building Cairys' Movement Wizard.

Rachel has built a sorcerer where Le Maine's permission falls. After the construction was complete, he went to another place and repeated the same task. Then I started working my way around the vast land of Cairys.

The unexpected consequences of this situation, strangely enough, were experienced by Euria. That's twice now.

"You said it was the fastest, but it's really fast. I've heard it from a kid once, but I didn't know it was this fast."

"It's much faster than the time of your Roselita. I've been wandering around with magic, but I don't have much time for wandering around. And here we are."

Rachel is extremely skilled at using the Movement Speed Aid spell herself.

Calian had never asked for a quick task, but the relaxed nature of Rachel was to try to reduce the amount of time spent moving.

"Looks like you're not too late. Seeing all that crowding, I think I'll do something soon."

"Yeah. Looks like it."

"But I don't understand why the king here would want to get rid of the Elven Forest. I don't know what I'd do if I was retaliated against."

"Elves living here are not protected by the Mother Tree anyway. I had never reached the power of the Mother Tree in the first place. There's nothing more you can do in Sacritia than get rid of a forest, so if you need something bigger than a forest, you can try something like that."

"Then I wonder why Prince Kalian would want to stop it."

"Well, I don't know about that."

What will Devil do now?

After the conversation with Devilan, Kalian continues to think about it. What are the weaknesses of Kalian that Devil can most easily catch right now? What other benefits could there be to take, as well as a mild warning against Calian, without taking too much risk?

Bridget Forest.

Where my mother used to tell Calian that this place was precious to me as a child. Devil must have noticed that it wasn't a lie.

If anything happens to the Elves there, Captain Narjan will immediately step out of Cairys and renegotiate with Cecritia. So whether it's for the purpose of taking Calian's precious place, the purpose of a healer, or one of Cairus' great advantages, whether it's for the purpose of answering Le Maine's funny letter, or all of it. I was wondering if Devil was targeting Bridget Forest right now.

As a result of his thoughts, he originally tried to send Euria and Eila into the forest. Eila may not know where Bridget Forest is, but Eila was a person who lived in Cecretia, so she thought it would help her find it.

'I'm leaving.'

"Somewhere."

'The sea.'

Meanwhile, Plants suddenly insists.

Khalian knew that the nobles of Cecritia approached Plants. In addition, I knew that Devil was going to try to hurt himself, and I told Plants about it. Plants suddenly goes to sea and calls out to Uriah and Rachel.

Aside from Calian, I was wondering if there was anything else I needed to move the strongest of the group, and Rachel, to move them quickly, to see if I could get anyone to attack Calian.

It's a fair estimate of Plants' plan.

Plants was smart, and Kalian was experienced.

If someone had really put Kalian in danger and heard about him in some way, Chase wouldn't have wanted to be in the palace. That's why Kalian first summoned Kiri to stop Chase from leaving the palace. I did not forget to restrain Uriah and Rachel, and to follow them to the royal waters and watch over Plants.

Afterwards, we changed our minds a little to stop Devilan's plan and sent Rachel into the woods instead of Eila. It was also because Rachel remembered she had been to Cecretia, and because she had a unique use for Eila who knew the inside of the palace.

"Whatever the reason, we have to do it first. Urea."

"Yes, you should."

The two wizards stood on a sturdy tree inside the forest.

You see a large number of soldiers surrounding the forest and starting to narrow it down a bit.

"Don't forget to be careful."

"Yes. It's been a long time since I've killed anyone, but I won't forget it."

"Yes. They're starting to move, so I'm going to head back into the woods."

"Yes. Be careful."

"Got it."

"By the way, shall we have a drink after work?"

"Good, that too."

Rachel nods lightly and openly, teleporting down the tree. Then he got back on his horse and ran across the forest. Rachel quickly dropped her off and decided to go to the other side of the forest.

'The prince asked me to stop the soldiers of Cecretia if they attacked Bridget Forest. It doesn't matter what the soldiers see, but no one should be killed. You also said you don't have to die, so I suggest you refer to them.'

Uriah notices the cautions that Kiri has given her, confirming that Rachel's energy is rapidly dissipating. I had a little smile on Uriah's mouth because I really liked that last word.

- Parker! Parker!

Magic is concentrated in both hands of Euria. The pulsating energy of water made from one hand finds a stream of water in the ground, and a spark of intense borate light gathers in the other hand.

And after a while, on the other side of the forest.

Rachel relaxes as she turns her shoulders as she rides, watching a sudden flash of lightning in the distant sky. He then stretched his palms straight out and reached for the ground. After preparing like that, you focused on Mana's flow, assessing the distance from the troops gathering.

Magic power gathers.

The magic gathered through the heart, arms and hands, begins to move according to Rachel's will.

- Saaaa · · · · · · · · ·.

The wind doesn't blow, but the branches shake.

The dry leaves, which have not yet fallen, groan as they fall to the ground. Birds were surprised when they fell asleep at night in the nest above the branch tree.

The trees shake and the forest trembles.

- Kuku Gugu Bow · · · · · · ·!

The cry of the earth followed.

* * *

I laughed.

How strong must the Prince's sword be to stand as if it had fallen asleep in his brother's shield? With that in mind, it was inevitable to ridicule the two swords of the person who looked at him quietly with that expressionless face like a pottery doll.

- Qasim!

Yeah, it is.

Even at the moment when I twisted out the two swords that cut my throat and cut my heart, I couldn't help but regret the mistake of seeing the green eyes that contained absolutely nothing.

- Unh!

You quickly retrieved the dead body from the fallen body and picked the next target.

For a moment, I thought it wasn't as horrible as I thought. I didn't know exactly why my fingertips didn't feel so terrible, but they did.

Maybe it's because of her blood loss, too. Or maybe it's because we've imagined and committed so many times that something like this will happen someday, so let's not shake things up.

Ka 'ang!

You can't even think deeply with that quick head, but you squeeze your right hand again and hold the sword in your left hand. Then they stopped the screening of the two flying prosecutors from either side.

The temperature of something in my hand suddenly cools down and plummets to the ground. It is also not as terrible as you might think, so Plants continues to pour out without making a living toward the other side.

The last of your warriors lunges at you.

Plants crosses two swords, stopping the next attack, and pulls out both of them and stabs them toward the frontal assassination. The user senses the target's flesh being torn, but it's not deep. As I learned about it, I leaped back and opened up my distance. Then you rush back to the last man standing.

- Kaga River!

I'm not yet fully familiar with the two swords. However, it does not mean that the word "unfamiliar" cannot be addressed.

Since I had handled the sword well from the beginning, I did not feel much difficulty moving the two swords in different ways. Callian did not explain that it was also because of her brilliant head. I'll give you more time to think about it.

- Ka-ang!

The individualized plant moves its feet again as the red light shifts far and wide, followed by a one-on-two struggle.

You dodge the attack from all four directions and swing your arms away. You use a sword heavier than Sinistera's, but you can't retrieve it and stick both swords together in a gap in the air.

The sensation lingers at your fingertips, and the light disappears from his eyes. Plants pulls back the sword, not feeling the need to check it for long. A red droplet forms over the black text, and it falls.

The user immediately turns back and finds the next opponent.

Kaga River!

You block, bounce, stab, and slash the protruding sword. I felt the burning of my slashed arm on someone else's blade, but I tried not to bother. Instead, the user focuses a little more on the opposing Pokémon.

No greed, one at a time.

You never miss an opening.

The remaining three give and receive each other's eyes, then bite one foot for a moment. The gaping plant gazes far away at Khalian.

One against one.

Looks like we just caught one.

Anyway, I grabbed both swords thinking he was a bloody lunatic. By the way.

- I forgot.

One of the two distant red lights suddenly flashes.

Plants knew exactly what that meant. If you do, you can go to Brissen and declare that you're not going to have a cat, but Plants' heart is a sin.

"· · · · · · · · · · · Ha."

Three men in front, one in the distance.

Which one should I take first?

I didn't have much to worry about.

- Ta-ah!

Plants turns away from the three warriors. And I ran, just like that one day, but this time with my sister and not my mother.

You hear the footsteps of the prosecutors running behind you, and you can see his eyes pointing towards Plants, smiling at his dying face.

"Kalyan."

Red eyes get bigger.

"· · · · · Receive."

The sound of your back's footsteps draws closer. I don't care. You throw the sword in one hand at Calian.

Then you turn around again.

The sword of the approaching three swords plunges into the ground in unison. You pick up the remaining sword and block it. Two are blocked and one is missing. I twisted my back and dodged it. I felt a burning pain once more. Ignored. You swing your arm. You flick both swords and twist them to stop one.

The user loosens its grip.

I learned how to use it. You grab the plunging sword with your left hand again. The man who was harnessing the Blade of Plants loses his support and bends. I pierced his heart.

Kaga River! Ka 'ang!

You hear two predators clashing against you again next to Plants. A tearing sound echoes through my ears and makes me think the forest is swaying. He also holds the sword again in his right hand, not caring.

Plants' sword, which pierced either one of them, is blocked. The opposing Pokémon grasps the Blade of Plants with gloved hands, not a sword. The two swords were thin and light enough to split in half, so they were easily caught. He swings his sword in the other hand.

I tried to take out the attached Cinnasty and stop it, but it didn't work.

If there was another sword, it would have put its hand to rest, but it is now in Kalian's hands. You try to avoid the sword again, but the other one flies. Even at this moment, the intelligent mind has revealed its judgment in a snap.

There is no escape.

- Shhh!

I thought that I would die in a place like this and eventually bring war to this land again. Funny thing.

- Screaming!

At that time, the prosecutor's grip was cut off.

The screams ring in your ears, and someone's hand grabs Plants by the shoulder and bites you back.

"No."

I heard an answer about the silent soliloquy.

The younger brother who came running was standing in the way again.

Now, in Calian's hands, placed three swords in front of him, the blue-blue sword once again recalls an insecure blinking error.

Kalian moves his arm once more, expressing an unconvinced affirmation.

Two Swords of the Swordsmen, one Sword of the Warrior. It flies. Calian stretches out his sword. The smell of blood was dark and the red light was extinct. Four swords rush towards each other.

The metal scratches at something.

- Kaga Gaga!

The blades were intertwined and not sharp noises. The four swords are not intertwined. Nobody, nobody died.

You can see the four swords clogged by the thick walls of ice.

"· · · · · · · Too late."

The blue-haired mad wizard has arrived.
