How to Live as the Enemy Prince

< Chapter 64. Nest (5) >

I remember the white blossoms.

Like the long name on the necklace of cats, I remember flowers embroidered in a warm white robe.

- La, li, si, um,

Fragranceless flowers.

I remember the letters that were embroidered together with the sheep that were as precious as the flowers that were engraved like a name for me who could not speak.

'Bern.'

Hina and Kiri's castle are the first to be known. Since we didn't even know they were brothers and sisters until now, he also didn't know their last names. I also remember a strange feeling when I saw it.

If I had seen it for the first time, I should not have thought it was a familiar word, and if I had seen it, I should not have forgotten it, but I couldn't remember it even though I looked familiar. I didn't really remember it, not the blindfold I was trying to keep deep in my memory and not bring it out.

So I was unfamiliar.

I've never experienced anything that looked familiar, but I don't remember. I've never had that experience.

- I'm curious why you're not curious.

I remember that day.

I knew that the name of the emperor Chase had told me had been erased from my mind. I knew that Serenti's 'Ahn Bae' made it so. I don't forget it.

I don't know what's holding him back right now, or why he won't answer when I call him.

- Don't come. You're not gonna make it.

The man in front of you wasn't Calian.

Plants, who knew how to solve the problem, began to think new thoughts to find the answer to the problem.

Strange things, discovering things, knowing things, past memories. The intelligent head, who had straightened out things he didn't understand, came up with all of them at once. And I organized it. That's how I knew.

Why is it that my brother and sister lost their parents so early in their time they didn't even know my name? It must have been written down as from his territory. What could Kalian possibly give to his beloved sister as a city to use? Why the person who read Hina's last name thought it was unfamiliar but unrecognizable. Why I didn't have a bigger question in a strange mood. Serenti, what a joke she was making in her head.

Why, what did you play to hide?

I found out.

I couldn't remember what I heard or recall what happened in the past, but I came to realize it.

"· · · · · · · Bern."

I put that name in my mouth.

Calian's shoulder touches the tip of his hand and feels cold. It's shrouded in thick clothing, but you can feel Calian's cold body. I definitely felt that.

Kalian turns his head.

"That."

You look at Plants with a smile on your cold face.

I summoned Bern to hold on to Calian and smiled at him, looking at his best brother.

You laugh silently, screaming, as if the place you're stuck is hurting.

Bern, who has agreed to accept everything, blames God for not only seeing my name disappear, but also for him who barely understood and left me alive. Perhaps he will be left alone forever. A name you shouldn't have called at the moment you were worrying about.

"· · · · · · · Don't find out."

Even if I called a few times, but I couldn't turn it up a hundred times, and I turned a thousand times and went back to Bern, it was too late and I should have let go of the name that had no other way than to let it go, and I shouldn't have put it in my mouth because I would call up Kalian.

Plants didn't know that.

But Bern knew why Plants called him. You rush to a halt and realize you have no idea how Bern will accept that.

So Callian decided not to blame him in any way. I put in my life, I put in my peers, and I went back to Calian the same way I did the other day and looked at Plants. That's what I did.

"What happens when things go wrong? Don't find out."

And he added:

I figured out why I didn't ask. I found out that Plants was already aware of what he wanted to ask Serenti.

It was true that Plants didn't want to know what could happen as time went on again, and it was also true that Plants had already realized that he was aware of Kalian's family.

"· · · · · · I just don't know. You."

So I took out the name of Bern or called out to him, and covered what I had secretly said with other reprimands that were not mixed with lies. I added the worst situation I didn't need to know, not by name, to make it seem like a reaction I had noticed.

Thanks to this, Plants learns why Callian was laughing.

I realized that my conclusion was completely wrong.

Callian was an adult, and Plants was quick to notice.

"Me."

Plants opened his mouth.

To apologize for finding out. To apologize for a rash mistake I couldn't bear to bite.

- Whoa!

But I couldn't connect the words.

The fire burns. Inside the massive Sispanian wings, a flame explodes like a sacrifice to everything in this cavity. It's not even a little hot, but I can't bring out the words of an apology while closing my eyes, wrapped around a flame that seems to burn my whole body.

At one time, it felt like a fleeting moment, but on the other hand, it felt like an eternity. Without seeing anything, without saying anything.

"Don't worry."

I heard this before I opened my eyes again, feeling that the fire had subsided. It seemed like Plants knew what to think when he opened his eyes. Plants only opens his eyes after hearing it.

It was gone.

The flame, the transparent egg that created the flame, the red bird in it, the black purpose that was too narrow for the cavity to feel, and the brother who laughed with his face unable to show how much pain no matter what the words of the world had brought.

"Serenti can't break anything. Your new brother will be back soon."

The man standing in front of Plants, who looks just like the queen in the portrait, speaks with a humbling voice like a butterfly waiting for spring.

Plants, standing still, looks at the Sispanian, opens his mouth.

"You then."

The anxiety about Calian's disappearance has been avoided by the Sispanians, so perhaps Calian asked the same question in his mouth at this moment as well.

"What did you do? The day of the past."

I asked him what he did on the day that something should not have happened. I asked him why he left his descendants to do things they shouldn't have done. The thoughtful person who gave even the blessing because he was worried that the exclusivity of his offspring would soon be superiority asked why he did nothing.

"I never heard of it."

The Sispanian replied:

Plants didn't hear the answer.

* * *

Guess.

Unsure things. Unsure things.

It's all speculation.

That Bern needed an axis of time, that the person who got it was Plants, that Alan and Slay were the only ones who helped him move the axis of time, that Plants was going back in time, that if it happened again, that Plants would be left alone, that if he didn't know it, that there would be events that would make Plants stand out, and that would involve Zeon. It's all speculation.

Is it true that Plants used the axis of time? If that's true, what would Plants have done? What the hell did the Plants know that they were going to use it for?

No, more than that.

So it's only right that Bern lived. Maybe that life was a delusion of imagination. This life is real.

"I don't know."

The smell of the grass that has just been drenched in the rain.

Calian, wrapped in the scent and looking around, said:

A hilly little field, like an island tucked beneath the sky. A small place placed on a no-man's land or sea. When I first met the Sispanians, I came here.

- Where is this place?

- It's out of reach of human feet.

I asked him where he was, but I found a place where I could only return answers I didn't know. So it was probably the Sispanians who sent the Khalian and the red bird that folded their wings and settled on the dry little tree at the end of the hill. That's what I thought. It was also a guess.

"What did you do while you were awake?"

"I did, as you said."

Finally, I heard the answer. I heard the answer.

That last day, I assumed I'd done nothing.

- Please, Serenti.

- If you're anywhere. It's all there, you know. Can you stop?

- Please.

I don't know what Chase wanted me to do on the day I can't see him anymore, and I haven't heard from Bern, but I heard from Serenti. Please, I watched that circle to God get lost.

"Why, did you? You can shut your mouth, erase your memory, and intervene at will. Why did you do that?"

Serenti doesn't answer.

She looks more mysterious than the Sispanians. She sits silently with her flaming tail hanging low and watches over Calian.

As if that's all you can do.

Hearing Bern's grumbling and Chase's origins, I will answer nothing.

"Aren't you going to answer me?"

The Old Crusade.

I wonder if the same thing happened again, as if the evil god suddenly appeared out of nowhere and the white horse had been stolen. And someone took the White Horse away from him and left him with one move too late. Unlike back then, this time I couldn't narrow it down.

So I asked Plants to go back in time.

On the new plate, did he do it to catch the white horse this time to put the first move. It's too late to give up everything and start the second game.

Are you sure you want to win the second game? You were so sure you could live with it. Or maybe you're just guessing about winning. After all, Plants asked me not to.

"No."

Serenti replied.

"It's not the second time."

Go.

I gave the answer out of the question.

"You were left behind. I brought you here."

When the axis of time turned around, I brought Bern back, who was left alone between the stops. This wasn't the second time. I didn't win even though I caught a white horse with a black horse.

And once again, time has passed.

"That's it. Now."

That's it.

The sleeping god replied.

Khalian didn't hear all the answers.

Khalian smiles, not knowing that God's answer is not being delivered. The red lips, which were painted on the white face, contained a glamorous spring smile.

"That's funny."

Kalian's answer has been passed on to Serenti.

* * *

Six points again.

Kalyan glares at the boundary as he sees the black cloth pushed in front of him. Seeing how he grabs and pulls the collar that he never gave me, my brother seems to have no need to treat me as a sane person, so I have to worry about that six point in my hand.

Of course, it does not mean that the treatment is unfair. I just wondered if it was six points in there or a human snack.

Maybe the plant isn't wilting. Maybe Calian's looking after it.

Plantsuna brings Jerky to Kalian.

They're not so different from each other.

"I'm not eating."

Plants answered first, as if it were obvious to have such a question.

I had no reason to talk to Serenty about what she could not hear even if she gave me an answer. I stopped feeling sick because I wanted to talk more. After doing so, I naturally came out of the cavity.

The sun is coming up soon.

In front of the entrance of the tightly closed cavity, just like when he first came, there was a pea, which was waiting for his brother to come standing under the beam of sunset. There should be Arsen just down the road. He doesn't go that way, but he tries to ask if he's been waiting for a long time. Plants pushes something out again. Then he said, "I'm not eating.

Calian asked for a moment, disappointed.

"Then what?"

"Fragments. What was in the sea."

"You mean the celebration of time."

"Yes."

Plants, who had not forgotten why he came here, gave up listening to the Sispanian answer and told him what to tell him. At the end of Plants' words, a piece of metal of a fist is placed in the Sispanian's hand. I came straight to what Arnigel had.

"You came straight for what was at sea in the meantime."

"You said you knew where the Sea Dragon was."

"· · · · · · · Yes."

If they know where he is, they'll find him.

After listening to Plants' muttering, Calian nods, understanding the Sispanian's ability.

Soon, Callian untied the cloth. Before going back in time, the time shaft, part of it, you saw in the treasure vault of the royal palace of Cecritia.

Calian looks down at the debris with a quieter look on his face.

"It's part of it. I can't feel anything up close. The shaft wasn't like this."

"Is there any other kind of energy?"

"Yes. It's not magical, it's not healer's, it's the first kind of exotic energy I've felt."

"I put them in the basement of the palace. How was it?"

"It was the same. I couldn't look this close, but the things that gathered there didn't have the same energy."

Like all the pieces the Sispanians had stored in the basement of the palace of Cairys, the sculptures in their hands were merely ordinary pieces of metal that were neither magical nor mystical.

Calian looks away from the debris, turning his head toward the entrance of the cavity and opening his mouth.

"If it's possible to retrieve it so quickly, it could be taken directly to the palace's stone chamber. I don't know why you're leaving this to me. Did you have anything else to say?"

"There was."

"· · · · · · · Then we should talk together, brother."

"Take it. That's what he said."

"No, I'm not."

Plants nodding, looking down at the unknown characters on the fragments.

"It was written by Sea Dragon once. Take it yourself."

Calian takes his gaze off the debris and looks at Plants. Plants continued.

"For how long, he didn't tell me to keep it."

"· · · · · · · Yes."

Axis of time.

An object with the immense power to force back time. The object that was held by the great king of Cecretia when he stood before the evil god.

Because she couldn't tell me how to use it differently, the Sispanians only gave me hints this time. He reminded me that Arnigel had drawn its power.

"You may recognize him."

When Arnigel wrote it, it left traces of Arnigel's magical power on the fragment. Maybe Alan will recognize it. It is also possible to find out how Arniesel's magical power used fragments.

"I didn't think that sea dragon would help."

The prank of a forgetful sea dragon. While Arniesel was pausing, Calian smiled a little as he remembered his near-death memories of seeing underwater. Plants opens his mouth, keeping an eye on Kalian.

"And..."

"Yes."

The sunset gives way to the red-eyed plant. Plants opens his mouth, waiting for Callian, to deliver something more important than the wreckage on the axis.

"There you go, apple."

And I couldn't speak because of Callian's voice.

"· · · · · · · Why."

"I know you didn't call me that for spikes."

The name you didn't want to tell me at the end.

It's barely a scar, and it's just a sore name. No matter how long it takes, it can't get any better. Now come on, if you hear it with anyone's mouth, it can't be the same name that was called in the past. Such a name that reminds me only of the fact that it is a call I cannot hear again as Bern.

You didn't know that calling the person standing in front of Serenti as Bern would only enlighten you of the reality. I didn't know it would only sound like I had to stop acting like no one else and come back here in my proper name.

Why Chase doesn't call Callian Bern for Chase in the past, and Plants isn't yet young to understand that.

"I know you're trying to remember, and I called you here to comfort you. You don't have to apologize."

"I'm sorry."

Just because the intention was different doesn't mean the wounds that have already been inflicted don't go away because you didn't know. At least Plants who knew it apologized.

"· · · · · · · Yes."

The apologized Calian smiles at Bern.

Soon, Kalian puts the pieces of the axle in his pocket. He opened his mouth as he watched Siegfried unfold beneath the mountain.

"Then buy me some meat. I'm hungry. I'll try after I'm done worrying about work today."

Is it meat you want to buy for a peaceful duck or is it a liquor you can enjoy hiding under the guise of your favorite prince?

"Got it."

After all, Plants' vault is not empty, so the prince who could buy him whatever he drank nodded.

"Lord Hertz has suffered, and I hope Lord Hertz will go with him."

"Got it."

"Lord Hertz's share too, please."

"No."

"· · · · · · · Like a knife. Then I'll pay for Lord Hertz's meal."

"Got it."

"Yes."

I've been guarding the door all day. My fellow workers won't pay for it. I can pay for it. Callian goes down, smiling as if there's no problem. He calls for Arsen.

No, I don't.

I tried to call.

Kalian's eyes turned thin as he thought about why Arsen didn't show up at the communal entrance, and what kind of meat he wanted to eat with Plants' apples.

The sound of Kalian's footsteps, which was bruised, vanishes in an instant. With the plant still walking beside you, Calian's new brotherhood seeps into the shadows. And it appeared next to Arsen almost simultaneously.

- · · · · · · · Qajik!

The sound of something solid crumbles.

Living out of the joint, and peer.

Anyway, I decided to live my life picking on McDreamy was the perfect decision of a lifetime. It was free to wait, by the way. Good. Don't you just have to put it in your pocket before the Prince arrives?

That's why the ice sculpture started to break.

"Sir Hertz."

"· · · · · · Yes, Prince."

"Description."

"Training."

"It looked like a sculpture to me."

"No, it's training."

"What training."

"It is embodied with three energies."

"Detailed description."

"The prince's appearance was made of ice, but I was concerned that there was no way to indicate that he lived and wore peers at the same time. I felt that living would be described as burning sand dust. So instead of trying to figure out how to simultaneously shape and maintain the magic of these three attributes, we implemented it like this."

In the meantime, Plants takes a deep sigh to understand the situation.

The one who tried to make a black horse by dipping it into an error, or the one who made a statue resembling him by gathering all the energy of ice and fire and the earth. Anyway, realizing I'm the only one with a right mind around me.

"Lord Hertz."

Now the blue-haired maniac looks at Kalian, who has only one thing left to do. Khalian looks down at the scattered ashes and arsenic.

My shoulders are tapered.

A small gust of wind leaks out.

In a long time, I burst into laughter.

I couldn't straighten my back, so I came back to the nest and laughed as loud as I could for a long time as the birds that folded their wings were noisy.

Calian barely raises his head, smiling for a long time. Then he reached out his hand and said with a smile still on his face.

"Give it to me. Now."

"You mean my life?"

"Not yet. Give me a spoon."

The light shines on Arsen's face.

"Oh. You're breaking my spoon, aren't you?"

"Yes. I'll break your spoon for you."

"Yes, I understand."

A quick reply from Arsen brings out the spoon he had stored gently. And he laughed as if he had won the whole world.

While looking at the broken spoon, I gently pressed down on my heart to break it.

Two broken things somehow.

One thing I broke on purpose.

"That's enough. Thank you, Prince."

The collection is complete.
