How to Live as the Enemy Prince

< Chapter 55. To hell, you (3)?

The knights who follow the king's orders stand with their backs to the palace.

Birds following the owner face the royal palace.

Some have swords, some have bows, and some have memorized them, but in the end they are all the same. Everyone was pointing at each other for those who had dedicated their lives.

"Yellow Wool."

It doesn't have a name.

Only one thing was different.

All the countries on the continent, and the Great Desert. Regardless of where I opened the nest, I worked diligently to gather information and pass it on to the owner. I lied to someone and betrayed them. I was loyal to my master. They lived to hear the master's command and died to obey the master's.

'If you have something to say, say it. I'll listen.'

'No, Your Highness.'

So, the knight who followed the king and the bird who followed his master were no different from the one who had no name. Many of them were suspected of being related to Zeon, so they folded their wings, but the rest were still Chase's faithful birds.

'Return to the nest. I will contact you when I need to.'

The crowd stands in front of the palace.

Not only the Devil's birds, but Chase's birds, who will obey Chase's words only, stand in front of the palace.

"Maybe the yellow woodpecker was right. I think that was the name."

"Servant Chamberman."

And those who gathered here were no longer nameless birds. With his name and face, he raised his sword with his mind and will.

- If the yellow bird speaks to me, I want you to live, and if it doesn't, I want you to believe me.

Yellow woodpecker, Savannah.

The one who disobeyed Chase who told him not to follow behind him and followed behind him. Thanks to this, Chase almost put the order into his hands, but he saved his life with one word and one letter from Calian.

The commander quietly hands his back. Then he stretches a finger toward the palace. Then one of the most standing knights quietly turns and disappears into the darkness. This is to inform the royal court.

The knight again opens his mouth to buy time for Devil to hear the news.

"Cervane. Yeah, that's her name. I thought you'd forgotten."

"That's what I was going to say."

"What are the birds doing here?"

"To protect my master."

Devilan or Tailan occasionally raised some prominent men among the aspiring knights as tributes. Because of this, there were often birds with moderate friendship with the knights. And most of those people die living in foreign countries their whole lives. It is because of the difficulties of working within the country that are known for their faces. It was hard to provide all the birds with expensive disguise magic tools.

The same was true of Savannah.

Like Eila, Servant was once a knight aspiring student, and now he has a face with the knight commander who came to defend the Resistance.

"The heads of birds are so bad, you forgot who the real owner is to remember one of my names."

They say they own Chase, but the one who does the birds is Devil after all. Servant smiles at what he said about it.

"Well, all the birds gathered here are remembered only by the person who gave the last meal. Birds have bad heads, like you said."

"That's quite a wrap for a rebellion."

"You're the one who defied our actions. It was you who attacked his people first. So how do you call that treason? Raising a sword to stop the blade from coming is not treason, but defense."

"No. Treason. If you don't know what the traitor has to say, stop before it's too late."

"I know the consequences of disobeying orders."

A yellow woodpecker who betrayed Chase and then led new birds after a white repair that made him unable to hear and speak. Servant speaks.

"But it's not me you don't know, it's you."

"What are you talking about?"

"You don't even know how many birds there are."

Servant's hand rises.

A call was made to form out of a powerful hand.

- Sarcasm!

The sound of stepping on the shadow echoes as if you were waiting. Insides protrude out of the darkness, dressed in black. And you surround the soldiers of the Ragian with magic lanterns.

The sound echoes even inside the inner sanctuary.

The arrows of the other birds that stood on the wall overpowered the Resistance knights.

The head of the knight who saw it was stiff.

Servant steps one step closer to the Knight Leader.

"Were you trying to bring news to the palace? I thought we weren't on the royal side of the palace. I thought you were the only ones who needed time."

The knight commander does not answer.

"Let's go inside."

Instead, Lazian opens his mouth as if he had waited.

Tailan nods slightly, looking at Lazian. He gestures at Servant. When Servant sees it, he puts his hand into the sword and takes another step in the direction of the palace. The birds surround the masked ones as if they were walking together.

There was nothing more to talk about. Even if the birds were already on the walls, not all the knights in the palace were conquered. The knight commander raised his sword without giving up. Then I flew to Cervane.

No, I tried to blow it up.

- Shhh!

There was only a short wave sound.

The wind comes once, and there's a sword in front of you.

Tailan, who has been stripped of his mask, has drawn a sword from his waist and is aiming for the knight's captain. The eyes of the captain of the knights who had just recognized Tailan turned fierce.

"· · · · · · · Poor really rebels."

"This is not treason."

Tailan, who held his sword closer to the knight's neck and stopped the horse, flips his sword over and grabs it.

"To reclaim."

The king of this country was originally Chase.

- Phew!

After finishing his horse, Tailan swings his sword at the head of the Knight Captain. Instead of standing, the blunt sound continues, and the captain, who was protecting his body with his thin armor, collapses without hesitation. Along with him, the birds of Servant strike their feet.

Tailan moves again.

The blade did not flash a bit.

* * *

- The concubine is gone.

The banquet was interrupted.

- I don't see Tailan Castrin.

- Within the palace, some of Cairys' wizards, including Alan Manasil, have hidden their lives.

- Earl Lazian Lynn has entered the Resistance.

Due to the disturbance outside the resistance, the nobles who attended the banquet stayed in the palace for a while. It was an excuse to be safe, but to be precise, it was detention.

The three princes of Cairys have all moved to the royal palace and have them stay. They can't excuse the trouble getting to the annex anymore. This was also in the name of protecting foreign royalty from circumstances outside the palace, but was ultimately quarantined.

- Earl Lazian Lynn has arrived outside the palace. In front of them are the low tax collectors. And then there's Taylon Castrin.

Devilan is lost in thought.

I sat at my desk with my chin bent and my eyes lowered and I stayed up all night.

The knights of the palace all stand before the palace.

- No knights have died. There was a force struggle, but nobody died.

disadvantage

Rather, it was the Devil who attacked first.

- The nobles are protesting outside the palace. What do you want to do?

In one night, the nobles began to speak. Those who had been silent for more than 20 years, in just one night.

Chase said he would no longer tolerate it, and Calian said that Devil's days were numbered. Lazian Lynn moves and the birds gather.

'Where is Alan Manasil?'

"I don't see it. '

Devil's birds hide their longevity.

No word. Chase's birds have been secretly moving for a long time. Now I know that. I can't stop thinking.

"Why are you still? without eating."

"I did not forget my manners because I was on the top of the three pillars."

Devil opens his mouth, pausing to think, and someone who doesn't know what's going on out there quietly answers.

Eating food first by the owner who invited you to dinner.

After that, the invited person touches the food. In a sense, it feels like nothing, but its origin is never light.

It is not a courtesy of those who have established a place, but a courtesy due to doubts. It was a common practice to invite people and prepare poison.

"Did I invite you and poison your food now? Last time I drank tea without hesitation."

"I do it with caution. Don't eat anything."

"Who will pay attention to the Crown Prince of Cairys?" "

"Who could it be?"

You answer me as if I were Plants who explicitly stated their intention not to trust Devil. And I frowned, thinking of the one who was so opposed to standing here.

Devil smiles and says, not a hard answer.

"I owe you an apology for what happened yesterday. I don't know if you know this, but I've never left any toys in your food or your car. You can take that as a sign of credit."

"I understand."

Plants nods, saying: But I still didn't touch anything.

"However, flowers and seafood do not fit the mouth."

Then, just like this, he pointed to the table.

Guests' tastes were noticeable with rich seafood, edible flowers, and colorful floral decorations that were not taken into consideration.

"Oops. I didn't know that."

"I'm fine."

It was funny to ask for anything else. After all, the goal was to call Plants and talk, not to have a full meal. Devilan nods and drinks the water next to him.

"Yes. It's a long story. I can't even tell you what to say because I'm in such a commotion. Understand."

"I see."

"There's a group of adulterers outside the palace, there's a group of people inside the palace who want to get rid of me, and they're trying to figure out how to get out of this deep trap, but I can't think of a way. Then I found out. Maybe it's because he's on board. My son is throwing a sword at me, but I don't think his heart will make a fuss."

"Your Grace."

Plants gazes at Devil.

Plants slowly opens his mouth, gazing at Devil for a moment.

"I would be disappointed if you could put the exact same words in your mouth."

This one and that one, and why do you have blood in your mouth when you're all cornered?

"Tell me what you want, and I'll listen."

Plants, who hates flowers, hates seafood, hates talkative things, but hates the obvious pretenses that precede the same bloodline, stops Devil from speaking.

"Do you know what I want?"

"War."

"What makes you think that?"

"Crown Prince Chase's concubine, the concubine of Crown Princess Louis and Prince Chase, has taken refuge in a safe place. Prince Chase is in protective custody, and it looks like Earl Lazian Lynn is out there recruiting soldiers."

Devilan stares at Plants without a word.

"They are guarded by Prince Chase's birds. The only way you can think of is war, because you're detaining Prince Chase. If there is a war, everything will be reversed. a war with a good cause, like Alan Manasil's preemptive attack. Isn't that right?"

The smile on Devil's face is young.

"If you asked me how to live, I'd tell you. To me."

"That's right."

"If you can tell me that, I'll help you get home safely by yourself. Three princes don't just walk into a tower."

This talkative man finally got to the point.

"That's what Kalian said. There are things you will never know."

"I don't know. What it is."

"I had no intention of betraying my brother in the first place."

"· · · · · · Yes."

"And then there's the other thing."

Plants takes something from his chest and puts it down in front of him. Devil's eyes are in Plants' hands.

- I thought you said you were going back alone. You heard about the tower. Are you talking about my sons?

Devilan frowns.

The voice continues.

- I don't intend to fight a war, but I can send an army to your country. Only for your life.

Plants smiles bitterly.

Wealthy fathers were not the only ones with Kalian.
