How to Live as the Enemy Prince

< Chapter 54. Wildfire (3) >

I felt something had changed in that behavior.

Seeing Devil calling himself to the Oval Office drinking a cup of tea with a familiar face, Chase thought so.

"You've changed a lot."

And then Devil looks at Chase, saying,

Today, Devil didn't leave Chase alone for long, and he drank tea without hesitation. By showing such a different attitude, Chase has changed.

"I have to tell you something."

"Is there anything different about me?"

"You don't work with Hogwarts, you work with me."

"What a strange thing to say. A father meets his son and a guardian."

Chase nods, feeling faded. Devil coughs a few times. After that, he said as if nothing had happened.

"By the way, Lord Castrin seems to be busy. Meet the nobles and interrogate the Chairman himself. I had to feel different when I told him I was doing things I wouldn't have done if I was you."

"It hasn't changed."

"If not, did you have a craving for the throne?"

"· · · · · · Since you are on the throne, you can see the way to the throne. Rather than saying that it is only the throne of silk, it is the greed to restore to its rightful place all the wrong things that Father changed."

"It seems wrong to you what to do. It won't look like that to those who are used to the things I've changed."

Chase smiles softly.

"Are you going to answer for the rumors that are spreading outside the palace? No matter what we hear, others will not believe that the rumors are true."

"There were rumors going around. I didn't know that. No matter what the rumors are, eventually everyone will follow the truth."

"Are you telling the truth as it was made, which the nobles have been accustomed to for over 20 years?"

Devil has nothing to stand on with his son in front of him like a normal father. Nevertheless, Chase, the son who coveted his father's throne. That's what Devil was looking like now.

So Devil was like giving Chase an answer for his actions.

No matter how much you tell the nobles what Devil really looks like, their minds will never change. It's harsh to punish, but it's clear when you award a prize. Since it is the true form of the Devil in the eyes of the nobles, the work of the deceased soldiers, the nobles, what happened to Louis, and what Chase went through must have a good reason.

In short, it means that Chase is greedy for his father's position, so Devil will only punish him, so don't waste your time.

"Isn't that a contradiction? If we regard falsehood as the truth, it is the truth."

"If we believe with certainty that we are made of falsehood, what is not the truth?"

"It's not the truth, it's deception."

"Is there a difference? I don't know."

"There is no evidence in deception, but the truth follows evidence."

Chase stares at Devil for a moment. And just like Devilan, he takes a sip of tea and puts it down and opens his mouth again.

"I know that my father moved a force called Zeon through the chairman of the association. The head of the association admitted it all, and I have the evidence in my hand. I have all the data that Mother gave me, what Mother went through, and what she tried to do to assassinate Prince Cairys and Prince."

"Proof. You got a lot in between."

"Yes, I got a lot."

"Is that the only way you're going to get my job?"

"I don't have to take it anymore. I'm here."

Devil laughs.

"You've been patient. That's an interesting thing to say. I never specifically taught you to be patient."

"You've tied me up with many things instead of teaching me."

"I thought you were a gentle and gentle child. So I was just protecting him."

"He just wanted it to be gentle and gentle. The Queen and Mother, Marquis Rin and Arianne, Lord Castrin and the nobles, and many other lives, were shaken and persuaded everyone, including me, to be patient."

"I guess you think that's wrong."

"This is wrong. I realized that too late, and now I'm going to move without slowing down."

"It's a pity. I didn't expect you to hear that from anyone but yourself."

"That's not the sad part."

Chase glances down at a piece of charcoal floating on a cup of tea. Immediately, a bold voice followed.

"Everyone except you wishes for your end. I feel bad about it because I don't think the end will ever be clean."

"The end. I don't like the sound of that."

"I know. I know that nothing will happen until the end that my father will like."

"Thank God for that. I won't let you down."

"I've already disappointed too much. I don't expect anything else from my father, so I won't be disappointed in him anymore."

After hearing Chase's answer, Devil nods once more and coughs again.

"Yes. I don't think there's much more to talk about, so leave." "

"Yes. I'll see you tonight at the celebration."

Chase rises from his seat as if he didn't have any regrets. Then I showed him a light example and went out.

Devilan smiles a long time as he notices that Chase's attitude has changed. After that, I sat back down in front of my desk, as if nothing had happened, and picked up the document I was looking at just now.

- Parlack.

I stopped seeing Devil as he was going through the paperwork.

A sudden wave of heat has appeared in the region called Nedsen, north-west of Cecritia, and reports that all crops to be harvested next spring have been frozen. It was written at the end of asking permission to pay interest instead of delaying the tax in the affected area by three months.

The generous King Devilan has always been generous about such matters, so you must allow him to rest. Devilan, however, has picked up another document without signing it to allow it.

- Parlack.

- Tick, tock, tick, tock.

I clammed my lips and handed over a new piece of paper, and there was the sound of paper crunching. Suddenly, I listened to the sound, and I heard the sound of the clock ticking together.

Hangul, crops, next spring, taxes, three months.

I opened a new document, but I stopped thinking. Touches the brain one word at a time. A deep smile echoes through Devil's mouth as he quietly recalls it.

- Tak!

Eventually, Devil's gaze turns to the clock, wrapped around a block of paper he was looking at. I couldn't help but notice a brown eye on a delicately moving silver steeple, not a luxurious watch decorated with platinum and sapphire.

The flow of thought is like a flame that spreads in the wind blowing in the field, because it's hard to rest or stop the spread. Even in Devil's head, a restless thought continues to bite his tail.

'The inauguration of the new king of Cecretia will take effect in February of next year.'

That's right.

That's what I heard. I will.

It reminds me of what he did when Cecretia's predecessor died.

Immediacy of the king does not mean the day the prince died or the day after. Immediately after the death of the predecessor, it will take some time for the event of the name Immediate Service to take effect separately from what the predecessor calls his successor the new 'king'.

The same goes for Devil.

Devilan also ascended to the throne after the death of his predecessor. Then I announced to the nobles and the kingdoms of each country that the Lord of the Throne had changed and prepared an immediate ordinance. It took me just two months to ascend to the throne and go on an immediate sabbatical.

Two months.

Yeah, it took me two months.

- Tick, tock, tick, tock.

Time flies.

Devil no longer sleeps with the scent of poison. Therefore, perhaps the progress of the disease will be slower than in the past. Maybe.

Maybe.

How long will it take?

Then Nedsen asked me to postpone the tax.

'Everyone is hoping for the end of his life.'

Am I the one who receives taxes paid three months overdue? Or...

- Tick, tick, tick.

Chase.

Strong and weak.

If someone asks Callian, "Are you strong?" Callian will answer, of course.

Along with Alan and Tailan, the wizards of Arsenal, and many knights of Kiri, Calian were all powerful. However.

"How can a meat knife be so weak that it's made in a tensile?"

A high-quality knife made for use in meat.

The Bible only says that it is weak.

Calian blinks at you with a relaxed face. I did it because I thought I was seeing things, but sadly, everything was true.

"My prince."

Keeping Kiri's voice, Calian calmly lowers his eyes. No matter what anyone says, she's a reasonable adult.

You're weaker than a knife, you're weaker than a blade of puppy grass, you're a scoundrel, you're a scoundrel, you're a scoundrel.

"Prince Kalian."

Tailan is dressed so beautifully for our Hina, who is supposed to be with her mother in escort. No, why is our Hina there?

The whole world is full of bright hinas in the world, even when the sun is gone and the moon is broken. I want to see that look until this day, my brother. Hold on, you bastard.

"Breathe, Prince."

"I'm fine. It's okay. Just give me a second."

I made a mistake once.

I'm gonna make a mistake for a second.

When people live, they make mistakes, and then they beat someone up, and I'm a lot of brothers, so it's okay.

"Not now."

Of course, it wasn't because he was deceived by Kiri. I'm just trying to stop him because he's a little more rational than Calian, and he didn't give Kiri any other orders.

Rachel was embarrassed by this, Uriah enjoyed watching, and Eila drank a glass of wine in front of her. Arsen picks up the sliced knife and puts it in the wizard's pocket. I have a second favorite.

I still did.

Next to that prince with the fluffy hair of puppy grass, Kyrie dried up my Hina, who glittered like a morning star and a drop of blood. Let me get this straight. I'm Hina's brother.

Anyway, fortunately, as soon as Plants introduced Hina, thanks to Arsen's rapidly expanding silence, Kalian's voice did not go into the ears of anyone other than the group here. Calian's words and thoughts were never smooth, but his face still had a flawless smile. And one more thing.

"Not one thing to celebrate."

A miraculous voice was cast into Callian's ear, who was trying to pick up the fork next to him when he couldn't find the knife.

"I'm a little surprised I haven't heard from him. I'm sorry I didn't know better."

"No problem. I'd appreciate it if you'd congratulate me."

I don't know what the heart of Kalian has melted. A stubborn prince who, if he knew, would not have cared as much as Coco's poop, replied confidently.

The prince who was in such a commotion as to not celebrate my birthday was calm, and the nobles looked at Plants with astonishing eyes.

"We should be celebrating. We should say goodbye. Congratulations, by the way. Bernie."

After the name came out of Devil's mouth, Devil's words continued while Calian held his breath once more.

"You don't look familiar. I've never seen him before."

A dark smile lingers on Devil's lips.

- I have a favor to ask you.

- Tell me.

- Would it be difficult for you to pretend to be my fiancée just for a moment when you're in Cecretia? I think the king here has somehow summoned me to seek medical attention.

- I'll take care of the prince or my brother here anyway.

- There aren't many people in the world who only do what's right. Even in other countries, it is not easy to refuse a king's request on behalf of a party. Even princes and princes.

- So.

- If you were in a position of influence, you'd be going through that much, but you wouldn't be bothered by others. And I wanted to take care of it because I followed it on my own.

It wasn't because of you that your identity was discovered, but even if it was your fault, I wanted to ask you why you used it to solve your own problems. But surprisingly, the mild prince nodded instead of picking at the stuffing.

- Okay, do it.

- Thank you, but I won't be charged in the meantime.

I now know that Hina's treatment, just like Demirea's banana, was accumulating debt. To be precise, I thought it was being paid by Balkans for a substantial salary.

· · · · · · Maybe not.

The salary was the salary and the cost of treatment for the two siblings was a separate cost. I wondered why he was only telling me that now, but the prince who was really gentle nodded once again.

- Got it.

If Plants' medical bills were the price of the prince's name, then Calian would have to sell Cairis to pay off my debts. Now I'm wondering where to find a cat.

I let Hina and Kiri out of the gambling parlor because I didn't know that Kalian was already paying me a lifetime's worth of medical expenses.

Anyway, Hina offered and Plants accepted.

Kalian has succeeded in using his lifelong patience.

"We were conspicuously accompanied because abilities were precious."

"Are abilities precious?"

"That's right."

Kalian has put up with it.

As Devil and Plants' answers came and went, I saw Hina's hard face, and I understood that the situation was the result of Hina's efforts to 'stay out of harm's way'. So I didn't make a mistake. Again.

"That makes me curious. May I ask what capacity hides so far across the border?"

"· · · · · · · Electricity."

Green eyes turn towards Devil Lane.

"Why are you so interested in my future wife? Isn't that a consequence?"

Plants did not tolerate it.

At that moment, once again, there was a static hover in the ballroom. The prince's reply that seemed calmer than I thought was truly rude, so everyone lost their words.

Then, Kalian calls Plants with a stiff face.

"Brothers · · · · · · · · · plant degradation."

The gazes of the nobles, of the Cairys, of Hina Plants, of Chase, and of Devil were all on Calian. Callian speaks in a small voice that is just right for everyone.

"We ask that you be careful what you say here."

One of Plants' mouths rises.

Plants opened his mouth, expressing that he didn't know who was saying what he was saying after I had seen everything his frail brother just pulled out of the knife.

"My brother is trying to teach me again."

"The king here has only ever cared for Cairys' healer. Being overly sensitive can be very disrespectful."

Devil's reign, which had been sown for over 20 years, stopped the nobles from thinking. I've lived and breathed my hardest to uncover my suspicions about Devil at once. I was scared enough to believe that the only thing I could show was the truth without thinking of moving easily. I built a wall in my mind.

The more they are, the easier it is to fall in front of new things that have not been seen.

"Is this my rudeness?"

"Yes, sir, I was rude."

"Yes."

Such as the prince's brother, who carelessly speaks of a foreign king's uncleanness, or the prince's brother who unhesitantly points out the prince's rudeness.

"I was wrong. I reflect."

"Thank you for listening."

"You have to listen. My brother was always right."

And nodding your head at the bottom of the class without saying a word.

"Prince Plants. Your Highness is in deep pain. I don't want you to get the wrong idea, just because you're interested in it. After all, it is reserved for a smooth relationship between the two countries, so we should forget about each other."

When the wall that was firmly filling my heart collapsed, I heard something soon.

"Isn't that right? Father."

It becomes the truth.
