Reborn as the Enemy Prince

Chapter 78. If you have entered my territory (6)

Kalyan says:

Regardless of time or time, the only thing that is always pleasing is meat.

Of course, of course, it’s really not long until her birthday, so I wake up Serenti for a moment and ask her what on earth I should give her as a gift, and then I want to put her back to sleep forever. To my father, who is the strongest on the continent, and to Raven, who is the best on the continent. I couldn’t use the pronoun ‘thing’, so I removed it. After subtracting those three, only the meat remains.

Just for reference, I would like to add that no matter what the situation, there is one ‘thing’ that is never at all pleasing to Kalian:

“How can you leave meat behind?”

These are crackling peas.

“You can’t eat it because it doesn’t taste good?”

“no.”

In fact, most wizards are like that.

Outside the house, I think that anything, whether it’s a wild chicken, a desert rat, or a bird’s egg, becomes delicious food once it’s cooked over a fire. Since he often travels to various territories and works as a mercenary, he often travels long distances alone, so he does not regard one meal as anything more than ‘a quick refill of fuel to move to the next location’.

The knights were different.

The only thing they experience is living in one place for a lord bound by a knight’s oath and going to group training near the territory. So, even if I’m out, I take care of my meals, but since I don’t follow along as a chef, I know roughly how to cook ‘common’ ingredients such as pigs, chickens, and salad vegetables by grilling, boiling, and mashing them.

Of course, that doesn’t mean that the food would suit Planz’s tastes.

A chef with the greatest skill next to the chef of Lemain, who has spent his entire life carefully transporting the most valuable ingredients from all over the continent, risking his pride and honor for each meal. He eats only the banquet he has prepared, and sprinkles pepper on the precious peas to reduce the unpleasant smell. Is it possible that grilled wild boar meat, potato soup with roughly sliced bacon, and wheat bread that has been warmed up just enough to taste delicious?

“It’s just delicious.”

“It’s not like that. Speaking informally.”

“yo. this.”

But isn’t Kalian a somewhat special case?

It was an exciting time when I was kicked out of the royal palace and roamed all over Secretia. I had originally learned how to cook from other knights, but I had never tried cooking with my own hands as a member of the royal family. Thanks to my strong, self-satisfied personality, I did not try to overcome my fatal disadvantage. His tastes are very similar to those of wizards. It can be said that his taste is as complex as his personality.

In other words, the ‘something similar to a dish clumsily prepared by knights who chased away all the wizards who tried to prepare meals for the party who left without a cook, thinking that they would not have to camp,’ is no different from a banquet in the royal palace to Calian. .

So, although I was enjoying my meal, I was paying close attention to the peas. I almost lost the peas I worked so hard to grow because I wasn’t careful, so now I feel the need to be a little more careful.

Thanks to this, it is clear that the pea is not aware that it is in trouble.

“No matter how much it doesn’t suit your taste, you have the sincerity of the person who made it and your brother’s servant who brought it to you, so why leave it like that?”

“You said no.”

I said no three times.

But Kalian didn’t care.

“Anyway, whenever my older brother shows such a cruel side, I wonder when he will grow up to be a proper person… As a younger brother who works hard and sincerely every day, I feel very distant.”

It barks a lot.

Anyway, he is an expert at barking.

“… you.”

It seems like my brother is very bored.

Should I call the Little Duke and let him know that he has discovered the secret again? Let’s talk about the incident where he visited Hina and ate eight pieces of white bread given by Count Eifrin before he was fully healed. Should I refuse because I don’t want to eat with him, go into the barracks, go next to my older brother who is sleeping, and make him bark at me and chase him away?

“Anyway, eat some more. If you want to grow up quickly,”

“Calian.”

“yes.”

Instead of smiling brightly, Plantz opened his eyes, which had been closed for a moment, and tried to regain the patience that had been lost several times. And I took a moment to decide what to say.

I don’t want to admit it, but I thought about saying that I’m half a finger taller than you. I know it won’t work. Unless it grows bigger than Vern, it will continue to look like an undergrown shoot in his eyes.

I just stopped telling him not to be overprotective again just in case. It’s obvious that won’t work either. I can’t say that because my younger brother carefully chose what he was most afraid of and did it all at once. It’s a good thing there isn’t a shield around this carriage right now.

While fighting a harpy, I thought about blaming him for saying something like a pea or a chick in front of everyone, but I decided to ignore it as it was a lesser mistake than jumping forward and touching the blood and breathing in the poisonous energy that came up from the floor.

‘Damn peas… they’re green…’

In fact, because of the barking he did after killing Evan, the 3rd prince is treating the crown prince, who lived nine months longer than me, as that ridiculous plant. Actually, Balkan guys already know everything. So it’s been a long time since I just gave up.

Like a terrible dream I had a while ago, ‘Grand Duke Plants Rune Kyris is a figure more familiar to us than for his own achievements as a pea, who lived a green pea life by raising cats by the side of his younger brother, King Calian Rurain Kyris. ‘ I decided to put it all down, just hoping that something like that wouldn’t be recorded in the Kairis history book.

So if you take them all out, what should you say?

Plantz, who had been silent for quite some time thinking about this, lifted up the strawberry tea brought by Relic, who had not even spoken properly yet. And then he quietly opened his mouth.

“Stop worrying. It’s not your fault.”

I didn’t have anything to say in a big way, so I just said this.

It seems that Calian clearly did not hear Planz say the same thing right after the accident. The white hand that was picking up the last piece of meat on my plate suddenly stopped.

“It’s not your fault.”

“… How can it not be my fault?”

He added it once more as if to emphasize it, but Kalyan’s reaction was not very positive.

Why did he have a nightmare? Why did you forget Planz and run away like that? ‘Bern’ explained this. I apologized. However, I still did not understand that this accident was not Kalian’s fault. It’s natural because no one told us.

“Why is this your fault?”

“If it enters my territory, no matter who or what it is, it has to stay safe in my hands. I’ve always thought that way. This is also the same. Of course, it’s just something I should have been aware of. It’s also true that this guy can intercept my aurors. If Kyrie had stepped forward to block the guy’s attack, he could have manifested an aura. Even if I were to jump into him, he wouldn’t be able to control the auror. Since the guy wasn’t dead, he would come after me. My brother saw that. “It won’t stay still. And it’s in his blood.”

Even the fact that it is poisonous.

“Well then. I thought it was all your fault. I guess you tried to go to Danu so that something like that wouldn’t happen again. Get rid of everything so that nothing dangerous happens again. I didn’t even calculate what would happen to the 3 princes who did something like that. ”

“I know now that it wasn’t right. But I don’t know what would have happened to you if you hadn’t been there, if you hadn’t changed your mind. That’s for sure.” “

Calian.”

“yes.”

What can I say to explain to Calian that this was just an accident combined with bad luck and mistakes? How can I make it clear that ‘you don’t have to control everything’? How can I say something so that it doesn’t sound like ‘I don’t need you’?

Plantz, who had been looking into the red teacup for a long time, opened his mouth.

“I wonder who it was that made Brother Randel change his mind, and who taught him Abtondant as soon as his circle increased. Do you know that?”

I don’t know. I don’t know how I can fix it so my younger brother doesn’t blame himself. No, actually, I don’t know if it’s right to change that thought right away. I can’t even tell you to learn how to live for yourself without saving others.

I can no longer tell a person who was submerged in the sea for a longer period of time, still immersed in the scent of Renieri and unable to free himself, that there is no need to save everything with your own hands.

I decided not to do anything to block the life of the person who was unable to save everyone and who had finally started to save the one person who was breathing down his lungs. So, instead of continuing to force me to stop blaming myself, I just asked him if he knew that I had some merit in resolving this ‘accident’.

“That’s… yes, it’s me.”

Calian answered quietly.

Plantz nodded.

“Okay. Then.”

Plantz, who finally raised his head and looked at the red eyes facing him, took a sip of tea with a similar glow, and continued speaking.

“You worked hard. Trying to save you.”

Just like you didn’t force them to get used to the flowers and taught them that the flowers aren’t real, but just took them away. That’s all I said.

If you know that much, it won’t be a regression or a depression. Even if you don’t suddenly try to fix it, it will get better little by little. As Plantz himself knows from experience.

“It’s okay now.”

“Are you sure you’re okay?”

“They said I’m fine.”

“yes.”

“So, breathe. Rest.”

“…… yes.”

Calian nodded.

I can finally breathe again.

Just like the day when he caught Anne, who had tried to jump from the bed to the nightstand after Lucy but fell one foot short, Plantz, who was facing his younger brother with a long sigh, quietly opened his mouth.

“go.”

Go.

“I haven’t eaten it all yet.”

Calian, who was looking down at his completely empty plate, answered calmly.

Plantz, who would eventually lose, furrowed his eyebrows and answered.

“……Eat more. Go.”

“If you don’t want to eat any more meat, give it to me.”

“Tell me to get a new one.”

“You ate a small portion anyway. It’s a waste. It was something you worked hard to make.”

“take it.”

Calian laughed.

“yes.”

Demirea.

I guess I’m good at farming.

As it grew, more and more shadows appeared.

* * *

said.

I wanted to say something.

“Wait a minute. Demirea. Let me explain a little more.”

I was trying to get a compliment.

“Isn’t it true that you were also discovered by Lord Siren? Now, the only thing I don’t know is Your Majesty, Healer Lord Bern, and Brother. I think there are only three left.”

It’s a compliment and it’s rude.

I got busy making excuses.

“Yeah… I can count them quickly…”

I counted them on my fingers.

As expected, my fiancé is something different.

Demirea, who pretended not to hear the words that had become as quiet as the sound of ants, opened her mouth.

“Healer Sir Bern was just not curious, but he seemed to already know that there was something strange. If you ask, the prince will tell you everything.”

“No, I won’t tell Hina. I’ll never tell Your Majesty or Jan.”

A place far away from your companions.

After coming to a place where the bonfire that had been lit looked very small, Calian, who had even turned on the silent curtain, was giving this honest report to Demirea.

It felt good to be praised, so when I said I would tell you later about the scolding, I couldn’t believe it. I heard that I was caught again.

Demirea held her forehead and let out a low sigh.

What on earth should I do with that inflexible fiancé, who can’t even hide the fact that he was caught and openly reveals it in this situation?

“Did you eat well? Didn’t you get teased for crying again?”

At this point, I said this to Calian, who only knew how to either hand out a letter of engagement that he would always carry with him or request a real fight under the pretense of sparring.

The big red eyes got even bigger and they hurried to meet me, as if what I had unexpectedly said was true.

“Aren’t you going to break off the engagement, Demirea? Or have I already broken off the engagement? Do you notice?”

“I didn’t bring the letter of engagement. There are so many things I wrote and discarded that it’s a hassle to rewrite them, and since you said there’s nowhere else you can get caught, I’ll just take it easy.”

After hearing that Jan had enjoyed the tea, I decided to forgive him for his mistake. I don’t know what the hell I was dreaming about, but I wasn’t so heartless as to let go of the hand of the person who couldn’t make a sound and was crying against Hina. I don’t think I did something wrong to that extent.

“And. It’s noticeable.”

“Ah…”

Should I be happy that I was understood or embarrassed that I ate my meal so hard with a crying face? I decided to just leave my fiancé next to me, who was blinking with a confused look on his face.

“That’s right. Where else can I find such a pretty fiancé?”

And I immediately regretted it.

I was about to say something to him, who seemed to have forgotten that Plantz might have caught me crying, but Calian turned his head enviously. After leaving Dmirea, I opened my mouth to look at the dark trees that showed the carriage and bonfire further away.

“Dmirea.”

“yes.”

“I decided to go see the roses that bloomed on the way to Naerangsha.”

“I remember.”

“Rose blooms on the Senyu River too. Kyrie told me.”

“Is that so.”

“Yes. I don’t know what color it is, but I wonder if it’s yellow, pink, red, or white. Anyway, it will be all done when I get back from work here. Let’s go there instead of the way to Naerangsha.”

“Did you miss the river?”

“… My fiancé knows me very well. Anyway, it’s good. It’s different from the sea.”

Let’s do it. Dalian keeps putting it off day after day, but he only thinks about going out to have fun. So Demirea, who was frowning, slowly opened her mouth.

“Is there any difference? It’s the same water.”

“Do you think so?”

“Wide, deep, quiet. Waves. I think it’s the same.”

“No, it’s different.”

“Then we can go see the sea later. You’ll see.”

“Ah… I can go see it. Actually, my sea is in Secretia. I really can go see it, Dmirea.”

“Are you talking about the Prince’s Sea?”

“Yes. I got it as a gift from Brother Chase. You can go whenever you want. So, I’ll show you around. Let’s go together after the celebration for His Highness’s birthday and before my birthday comes.”

Demirea, who was silently watching Calian talking with an excited face, nodded slightly.

“I understand. After seeing it, I will tell you that it is definitely just as good as the Seneu River.”

Kalian’s red lips curled up.

Calian immediately turned his head, looked back into his blue-gray eyes that closely resembled the quiet Seneu River, and spoke.

“Good, Demirea.”

“You should be fine. I will guard you together.”

“You have to comfort me later when we break off the engagement. I’m sure he’ll be very disappointed.”

Demirea let out a small laugh. I opened my mouth while thinking about whether I should take Hinara with me to comfort the youngest prince who was crying so hard.

“Then you will be my fiancé for the rest of your life?”

“Is that so? Is that okay?”

“As long as I can’t find a fiancé who is happier than the prince when I have her by my side, and the prince doesn’t get caught. Is there anything you can’t do?”

“It’s obvious that it would be impossible to find someone more happy than me. So I guess I just have to keep the secret a secret.”

Demirea naturally assumed that she had not heard the previous statement and only responded to the latter comment.

“Weren’t you trying hard to hide it until now?”

“That’s not it… I’m just saying I’m going to try harder to hide it.”

“Yes. Hide it harder.”

“Yes, I will, my fiancé.”

Demirea nodded without much thought and straightened her shoulders. Clap and click. The faint sound of chains crashing rings again.

“Marquis Gray Briesen has reported Rashid Briesen.”

Calian, who had been listening to the sound of armor that seemed to ventilate the surroundings, made a face that said he knew that would happen.

“What do you think Your Highness will do?”

“I don’t know yet. He said he would make a decision once he finished interrogating the captured people.”

“okay.”

Demirea opened her mouth again while looking at Calian, who had postponed the attempt to close the Silent curtain for a while.

“Aren’t you going back to the palace?”

“I came to inspect the territory, so I should go.”

“There was a long delay. This would have been enough time to destroy evidence of whether Rashid Brissen had planned it or not.”

“My takkari is back.”

“Are you talking about Lord Hertz?”

“huh.”

Now, if you just say this, even Demirea will understand.

Calian continued, recalling Arsene, who seemed to have no choice but to escape from his life-long dependence.

“I heard you said you were going to scout as soon as your brother fell. Is there anything to scout inside this shield? He must have gone out on his own. He probably went and checked something and came back.”

Arsene has always taken care of himself just as well as Kyrie.

Calian stood up. And after closing the silent curtain, Demirea and himself stood up together and cleaned off the dust from their bodies.

“And Dmirea, I have important things to do other than keeping an eye on Rashid Briesen.”

“What are you doing again?”

“Take care of it.”

Calian grinned. Then he spread his arms and pretended to flap his wings.

“I heard Sispanian came. Brisen will eventually disappear. Your position will become stronger.”

“you’re right.”

“Then what will Your Highness do now?”

Demirea was lost in thought for a moment.

The thought was a bit long because I had never seen politics until now other than what was in the books and the personality displayed by Calian. But Calian waited quietly.

“……Another nobleman.”

I heard the correct answer.

Calian, who was moving towards the direction of the bonfire, nodded with a happy face.

“You’re going to send out all the people who paid money to Briseen and bring in new people. Now you can do that. Then what should I do, Demirea?”

“Are you looking for talent?”

“yes.”

As expected, my fiancé.

“My brothers and my territory have nothing to do with Brisen. Moreover, they are far away from each other. This is the first time royal family members are visiting the area, and it is unlikely that all the surrounding nobles who are stationed in the territory, not the capital, will gather. So, we need to look closely. “People with brains other than the money to fill empty positions that will arise here and there. Not the idiots who turn away when you stare at them, but real nobles like the Count of Aprin or Viscount Reddington who will ask you why you’re looking at them.”

People who will ensure that the country does not falter even if Brisen disappears. People who know how to think without rushing towards the royal palace. I’m trying to find those guys.

“That way it will be more fun later.”

There is nothing more fun than a headache-inducing fight. Demirea grinned as she looked at her fiancé. I was hoping that as time passed, Senyu Hall would become really noisy.

– Ja-bak, jap-a-bak.

Calian, who was walking silently, begins to hear the sound of his feet hitting the ground. Demirea, who had been quietly listening to this, suddenly stopped.

Calian did not ask why he stopped.

Because Calian was the same.

“This. Perhaps.”

However, it was not because I felt life, encountered an enemy that entered the defense shield, or discovered an unexpected problem. Because I was really surprised.

“It’s been a while since I heard it. Brother’s violin.”

violin sound.

There was a violin sound that seemed to capture the sound of flowers fading, birds falling asleep, and water falling. It was a precious melody coming from a violin that had been arbitrarily in the wizard’s pocket.

“This is my first time hearing this, Demirea.”

Words spoken as if he was truly happy.

Demirea heard those words and let out a short sigh.

“Don’t say it’s your first time with your brother.”

After being silent for a moment, a low realization came out of Calian’s mouth.

“…… ah.”

I remember again.

I remember the sound of Jan’s violin, which I’ve never heard of but definitely heard.

“I remember.”

Calian nodded, quietly engraving the sound in his ears and in his memory. He nodded, obviously remembering the lullaby he had learned from Jan.

And then he opened his mouth.

Lost in a distant memory, I move without realizing it.

I quietly sang along to the lullaby.

Because I thought only Demirea was by my side.

Unaware that a pea that had been listening to the noise coming through the carriage window stopped tossing and turning and fell into sleep.
