How to Live as the Enemy Prince

< Chapter 56. Serpent's Grave (1) >

The sky was clear.

The night was dark and the stars were bright.

Arianne leaves the building to check on the soldiers of the late Lazian Lin and deliver instructions. Eila's escort leaves with her. There was a reason why it would be least problematic even if he was a Cairis person and was known to have intervened in Cecretia's affairs, but the reason was that Eila was the one here who could best understand and handle Cecretia's history.

And Uriah was on the roof of the tallest house, checking everywhere. Urea's magic is more effective than Arsen's to protect the entire mansion in the event of an emergency.

"If you're uncomfortable, don't hold back. I'll switch places with the other wizards."

Thanks to this, Arsenal's personal escort to Louise was not to be left alone until Arianne returned with Eila.

It can never be pleasant for Louis to see what Arsen did in his dreams. His mind is represented by a car that has gone cold without a word.

Arsen, who felt it, looks at the cup a little distance away and says to him, You speak as carefully and quietly as possible to avoid surprising or intimidating words. When I had the chance, I would ask for the perfect set, because I was a madman who cherished the healthy spoon in front of Kalian, but I was not as distant as I am now.

Luckily, Luis has never been surprised to look at the distant sky outside the window without saying anything. Luis' silent answer echoes the room, keeping his gaze on the outside of the window.

"There must be something I'm uncomfortable with."

"I can't help but feel uncomfortable."

He said, "What do I do with a few nightmares that I've had that I don't need? It's okay."

Is it because you look like Louise that you don't blame others for being Callian and Chase?

"He said, 'There must be a good reason for this, and Prince Kalian will not repeat it.' Prince Plants is determined to be responsible for it, and you are wary of it. Now and then, why would I be reluctant to avoid it?"

Even if it's just a dream. Would I be able to say something like that in front of the man who killed my two sons? Should it be very rational or very foolish?

Arsen kept his mouth shut for a moment, thinking about the teacher's words that no one could take care of my wound for a foolish person. Instead, the quiet story of Louis continues.

"You may be a good king, but you're also a good husband. Not to me, of course."

"· · · · · · I was surprised to hear that you meant it."

"You're absolutely right. He never looked down on me because I was a concubine, and after the Queen's departure, he treated me with respect and walked with me wherever I went. Not only in front of the same people, but also in the presence of the Elves and their elders. Even I have not been deceived once or twice in my life, so no one will be considered as good as the others."

I almost looked fabulous.

I was fortunate to quickly understand that Devil is what it seems to be.

"My wife drank poison in front of me, but I've lived with the culprit who made it, and I'm sure you'll blame those who embraced sin without committing it."

Arsen remains silent, unable to find a word to say about him.

Louis turns his head, looking up at the night sky.

And on a clear summer day, he gazed at Arsen with his eyes as if they were full of light.

"I hear the Wizard's loyalty remains unchanged. That's right."

"I truly believe in someone and follow them. It's hard to think, but once you make a decision, the ones who rarely change are wizards."

"Do you trust Prince Kalian, then?"

"That's right."

In fact, I'm a little scared, so I believe it. I can't believe it. I'm acting like a Kalian all by myself. Thinking about that, Luis nodded and opened his mouth while watching Arsen.

"I don't know if you know. It was my doing that made you sick."

"· · · · · · Yes."

"I almost quit in the middle."

Neither Kalian nor Plants informed Arsen of this. There was no reason to explain the verse because it was Louis' poison.

"Before I dreamed, and just before His Majesty hardened the doubt about me and the Three Horsemen. I found myself addicted as I put poison in your sleep in my one vengeance. So that I may die before His Highness, I may end my life by leaving the three of us alone. When I hesitated to do what I had been doing because of such worries, I met the Elven Elven Elder Elders. to discuss the problem with the Elves living in Bridget Forest."

"Yes, I've heard about it."

Arsen grins his head without saying anything else, and Louise continues.

"That day, I saw something in a dream. It was a nightmare. I watched the world collapse as I looked into the eyes of someone other than myself at the end I had never experienced. I just saw it, and I didn't hear anything, but I'd never experienced anything more horrible or terrifying."

Louise pauses, taking a breath.

"In another dream that started since then, I was faced with things that had not yet happened, things that had been erased, and so I continued to poison the sleep. I have a feeling that the king of this country must change to prevent the nightmares of that day."

Louise turns her eyes to the distant sky again.

He makes a voice that seems to recall an old memory.

"The only sinner who has done wrong is Devil, the one in that palace. There is only one person who has to die, and only one who will be punished, Devil. Not you. You seem concerned. I've been trying to tell you that for a long time."

"No, thank you."

"By the way, is there anything else I can talk to you about? Do you mind if I ask you a favor?"

"It's fine."

The sweetness from the cold tea was thick.

On the contrary, Louise looks at Arsen with a smile that smells bitter.

"I want you to take care of my child who's going to stay there alone. I can't do this in my life."

Hearing that, Arsenal smiled.

"Are there any?"

Soon, the blue cold settles in Arsenal's hands.

Along with him, a thick shield is built around Louise.

"And this time, I will protect the mother of my king."

Like the end of the answer, the light that was bright enough that the night was dark disappeared as it illuminated the room.

A purple beam that cuts through dark nights.

It was Urea's lightning bolt.

* * *

Only Devil and Chase hear what Kalian has to say.

No one around you has heard Kalian. Of course, even if you did, you wouldn't know what that means.

The brief explanation that Devil was a surviving child was enough to make sense of the situation.

"That's sad."

And Kalian didn't ask what was sad. There was no reason to ask me what I wanted and listen to the gossip.

The remaining trace of pruning could mean that it was sad, or it could mean that the only son truly tried to defeat himself with all his strength. One thing is clear: I didn't say it out of pity for him. Even though you understood that 'survived' for the child means that all of the child's family is not dying.

"Save this magic and put the child to sleep."

Chase glances down at Devil Lane and says, The Silent Membrane disappears, terrified to the end. And Tailan opens his mouth to the Devil, holding the sleeping child by the magic of Khalian.

"The fact that you are turning your back does not go away. It is not the loss of many lives that you have thrown away by my hand."

Soon, many families' names came out of Tailan's mouth. It was just a silent recitation of the missing family, but Tailan's words lasted for a long, long time.

"Jonathan Keihorn."

The father of the child, Earl Keihorn, was named last.

A relative's house over a small hill.

He went home that day and spent the night. It was not for any other reason. It was just because I wanted to have a pillow fight and talk about it all night long with my younger brother in the house.

But that night, there was a big fire in his house.

Everything's burning. House, property, people were all burned down. No one escapes. I don't know if I was lucky or bad, but only one child survived.

The child's relatives knew the cause of the big fire. It was not that no one had escaped from the mansion, it was that no one had escaped. Nevertheless, I did not drop the child. One night to take care of the child became two days, three days, and six weeks passed by.

Everyone nearby knew that there was no body of a small child in a big fire, and that one child had grown in their relatives' home. What you know becomes a rumor and spreads again to reach the royal palace of the capital, Secreta.

One day, six weeks later, the child disappeared.

The child's relatives also knew what caused it. But he didn't spread what he knew. Keeping his mouth shut and leading Earl Cayman well was his own life.

"I killed my sister, I killed my sister's husband, I killed all the other children of my sister. And he gave me the Earldom. That's what you did to this boy, my nephew."

Half courage and half fear.

Half fury, half guilt.

The man who did not abandon the child, but could not help but speak the fault of Devil, stepped forward. They couldn't have known how much courage it was.

"I am the friend of Baron Liberty, who questioned last year."

One man steps forward.

"It's your fault. I was a servant of Earl Rams."

"I am the baron of Indar. I know what you did, too."

Remembering the erased and missing, Tailan's request with Alan finally brings one or two nods forward.

"You said 13 years ago."

"Your Majesty,

The other one, and the other one step forward. Everyone comes forward feeling guilty for the same courage and looks at Devil Lane.

"How can you not know all this? I remember everything. All these people here remember!"

Kneel at his feet and leave behind the best examination on the continent, telling him that the child is doing well under the protection of the Viceroy and the Viceroy. His relatives burst into tears as if they were vomiting blood.

"Your Grace."

Earl Lazian Lynn, a bold voice, opens his mouth for the first time. Devilan looks at Lazian, and Lazian speaks with his face intact.

"I, Lazian Lynn, take their word for it. We will investigate fairly, so please wait in the royal palace."

The smile clears Devil's face.

For the first time, there was a furrow in his face.

"You've put the man who's been shaken by a few words on the Marquis. That was you, Chase. Have you been so eager to have my crown?"

"Your Majesty!"

The area is still quiet, and Devin's short speech is heard from everyone. Tailan raises his voice, unable to tolerate it any longer, knowing that it was also made.

At that time, the distant dark sky was illuminated.

Everyone's gaze is towards the sky, and Devil sees it open his mouth.

"· · · · · · So."

Devilan sighs for a long time, his eyes filled with created anger and well-made sadness.

"Was he trying to take the prince of another country and defeat me? I checked the situation of foreign forces trying to use force in my country. The Bible says," What the hell is going on here, Count? "It was you."

When Kalian's gaze reached there.

On a day that seemed to pierce the old man deeply, life flowed from deep inside the palace.

"You thought I was just going to get beat up."

Living in Plants.

Callian laughs.

"How dare you."
