Reborn as the Enemy Prince

Chapter 19. Brother (3)

When Chase’s steps in front of Plants stopped.

Alan’s movement to enter Lemain’s office also stopped.

Alan muttered, massaging his temples.

“… How did they come here?”

The moment Alan realized who the other guest was coming to the luncheon, he glared at the door of Lemain’s office with a completely calm expression on his face, unlike usual. His Majesty, the dear King of Kairis, has committed the worst piece of shit in history.

Calian never said that Chase from the past had come to Kairis. If I had known it was coming, I wouldn’t have been so excited and run out of the palace like an immature duckling.

It’s natural.

During the time when Bern was there, Chase did not do anything dangerous enough to come to a foreign country as the crown prince.

‘What effect did Verne’s absence have that Chase came here himself?’

Alan, who had no idea who Chase had come here to meet, was just devastated by this thought.

Moreover, it seemed like Chase and Plants had met. Even though neither of them had any memories of being related to Bern, the atmosphere they felt was unusual.

Alan put off going to Lemain’s office and headed outside. It was to bring Chase in before Calian saw him.

‘It will shake.’

Calian was clearly shaken.

I had to give myself time to prepare.

Attack magic or movement magic could not be used at all within the buildings of Arpia Palace. Deeply grateful for Sispanian’s insight into his concern for the king’s safety, Alan increased his walking speed.

“Nice to meet you.”

These were Chase’s first words to Plantz.

Royalty versus royalty.

Originally, there should have been a process for Chase and Plantz’s entourage to explain to each other who they were. But Chase stepped forward too quickly.

What Chase said was a very ordinary word, nothing special.

And that was Calian’s speaking habit.

Plantz, who suddenly had this thought, once again felt a deep sense of rejection. Why do I keep smelling like my brother when I’m dealing with someone I’ve never seen before?

Since he had never dreamed of who Calian looked like, Plantz didn’t even understand why he felt so uncomfortable right now.

“I know it’s nice to see you.”

Plantz spoke in a low voice, his eyes still fixed on Chase.

Chase was clearly the crown prince of another country.

Moreover, no matter how great Kairis was, Secretia was not a subordinate country of Kairis. The relationship between the two countries was not bad.

Moreover, even if the attendants did not explain, the two already knew who each other was. So it was clearly Plantz who had to set an example first.

But Plantz continued speaking as if he did not recognize Chase at all.

“How dare you? It’s the etiquette of any country to shy away from its prince.”

It feels like the air around me is frozen white.

The second prince of Kairis.

It was a truly arrogant attitude that could only be seen as a Planz.

The servant’s mouth opened, knowing full well that the person under the robe was Chase. At the same time, a strong spirit emanated from the knight standing behind Chase. The only ones who were unfazed were Plantz and Chase.

Chase’s lips, visible from under his robe, appeared in a small smile.

Damn it.

The little guy who smiles like that is just like Kalyan.

With this in mind, when Plantz was about to say something sharp again, Chase moved his hand. He bit the knight who was about to step forward, then slowly raised his hand and took off his hood.

“Because I keep coming dressed like this.”

Long blue-silver hair swayed for a moment, and dark purple eyes turned to Plantz.

“I forgot for a moment, Prince Planz.”

He simply explained it, but there was no apology or excuse in his words.

For a moment, Plantz felt relieved that the figure under the robe was very different from Calian. Then he naturally opened his mouth as if he had finally found out.

“Oh my.”

The corners of Plantz’s mouth rose as he said that.

Still, fortunately, both lips rose evenly.

Then, after lowering his head just barely enough to be polite, he asked.

“For what reason did Crown Prince Secretia come all this far?”

Plantz also wasn’t the type to say things like apologies.

There was no way he knew that he was being so perverse on purpose, but Chase took Plantz’s example with a look that didn’t seem to bother him and then gave his answer.

“I have something to celebrate and someone to meet.”

After saying this, Chase turned his head for a moment.

Then, Calian looked around the huge palace, which surprised even him, and said,

“So we end up having unexpected conversations like this, and I finally get a sense of where this place is.”

I’m not here to talk to you, so stop being territorial.

Chase’s words sounded like this to Plantz’s ears.

In fact, even though he didn’t come to see Plants, it was Chase who spoke first. Therefore, Plantz’s answer was still not good.

“Isn’t it natural that you came all the way to Kairis? There’s no way you wouldn’t have known.”

It’s natural to be territorial.

It was quite an aggressive statement telling me to just endure it since I knew about it.

It hadn’t been that long since he came to help Plants, but Reric, a servant who had been in the palace for a long time, knew very well what happened when Plants’ mood was upset. And Knight Teilan didn’t know that Chase wasn’t usually this sensitive. Because of this, these two were in a very awkward state right now.

The conversation between the two royal families could also affect the relationship between the two countries.

Therefore, mediation was necessary, but Reric could not intervene in the conversation between the prince and the crown prince, and Teilan could not go against Chase’s wishes not to intervene.

“It’s been a long time since I last saw you, Chase. And good morning, Prince Plants.”

So the two of them felt like their world became brighter when they heard the voice.

* * *

There was someone else who noticed this situation outside Arpia Palace.

It was Duke Sleiman Hon Siegfried, who had come to the palace to show his face to Lemain.

“Huh… Lemain. You invited someone really great.”

Even though Slayman called him by name and treated him comfortably, Lemain, who was sitting across from him, did not look very upset.

In fact, the two had a pretty close relationship.

To be precise, not only Lemain and Slayman, but Lemain’s older brother Asnan and Slayman were extremely close friends. As a result, I became out of touch with Lemain, and we always talked like this when we were alone together. So, perhaps the only person in this world who can call Lemain by his name in front of him is Slayman.

Lemain, who was sitting across from Sleiman, asked as he spoke as if he had discovered an interesting fact.

“Crown Prince Secretia?”

After hearing that, Slayman laughed for a while.

LeMaine’s office, which was always quiet, was buzzing with noise.

Even though he knew that Lemaine’s son Kalian had hidden it, Slayman did not pay much attention to it.

Is it not only that? Even when his friend tried to ascend to the throne but failed and was imprisoned in a tower, he did not forget his duty as an elephant.

Would such a Slayman be interested in Crown Prince Secretia?

“When have I ever been surprised by a royal person? Of course it’s a sword.”

A sword with the crown prince.

The continent’s first sword, Tailan Castrin. It was said that he had arrived.

“When the King of Secretia gave his son the title of Crown Prince, he gave him Teilan along with him. I guess he came here with him.”

“Isn’t this a well-known fact?”

Lemain, who was responding appropriately to Slayman’s admiration, opened his mouth with a look on his face as he realized something.

“But how did you know that Lord Castrin was here?”

“Oh, I didn’t feel his aura, but I only noticed it because he was emitting anger. I don’t know if I will ever die after seeing that person’s aura, Castrin.”

“Why is Sir Castrin so speculative here?”

“I wonder if Crown Prince Secretia is fighting with one of the princes here.”

As soon as he heard those words, Lemain stood up.

Slayman’s large hand grabbed Lemain’s arm and made him sit down.

“It’s because Your Majesty’s ass is so light. The wizard is out, so it will take care of itself.”

“There shouldn’t be a quarrel between the prince and Crown Prince Secretia.”

After responding like this, Lemain stood up again.

Still, he listened to Slayman’s words and did not go outside directly, but instead walked to the window and started watching the group in the distance.

Alan, who approached the group, was seen entering Arpia Palace with Chase. Before long, Plantz could be seen leaving.

“The speculation has subsided. Even though it doesn’t seem like a big deal.”

Lemain, who had been watching the scene for a while, returned to his seat. I was so focused on seeing Chase coming in that I skimmed through Sleiman’s words, so I didn’t see anyone else outside the window.

The entrance to the royal palace in the distance.

A black horse that seemed to be nailed in place.

* * *

Calian laughed quietly.

“……So that’s why.”

I was so excited from the morning.

It was so frustrating that I couldn’t make up my mind at all.

It wasn’t because of the sword.

Calian lowered his gaze.

The hand holding Raven’s reins had turned pale.

Raven kept trying to run forward.

I dried it.

I tried my best to stop him.

* * *

Jan was very worried because Kalian’s complexion was so bad as he prepared for luncheon that day.

“Anyway, how about having lunch and taking a break?”

Calian, who normally would have responded with a smile, just shook his head with a cold expression on his face. And he spoke in a quiet voice.

“I’ll take Kyrie with me. I heard that Duke Siegfried is at the palace, so come meet him.”

I tried to answer that it wasn’t necessary, but the face made it difficult for me to refuse. Therefore, Jan answered that he would do so and then called Kirie over.

Kirie didn’t say anything as we walked to the luncheon location. He was just looking at Calian with a more worried face than Yan.

This was because the person Alan had sent a little while ago had delivered a short message.

– The crown prince of Secretia visited Kairis.

No further explanation was needed.

I could immediately understand why Calian’s smiling face was like that.

Calian got off the carriage and entered the Senyu Pavilion. Then, I walked down the hallway for a while and stood at the entrance to the banquet hall.

Kirie blocked the knight’s hand as he tried to open the door.

This was because I knew that the sound of Calian’s footsteps as he walked all the way here was never constant.

“Please come back in a moment.”

A long breath came out of Calian’s mouth. Then, he said something I don’t know if he was saying it to himself or to Kirie.

“…You won’t know anyway.”

Chase doesn’t know who Calian is.

Even if you act a little awkwardly, Chase won’t know anyway. Alan would understand, and Plantz would notice the awkwardness, but he wouldn’t be too interested. So it was okay, Calian thought.

Soon Calian’s eyes turned to the knights standing in front of the door.

The door opened, announcing Calian’s entrance.

Step by step, Kalian entered inside.

And then I finally faced that face.

…… older brother.
