Reborn as the Enemy Prince

Chapter 49. Truly beautiful (5)

‘I will never understand.’

Calian assured:

Devlan will never understand Plantz’s intentions right now.

Devlan was similar to Briesen. But it was different.

Brissen viewed his brothers and children as competitors. Devlan wasn’t like that. I saw it as an enemy. I believed that there was no enemy more dangerous than those who shared the same blood and the same thoughts. He killed his brothers and ruled over his children.

Therefore, Calian assured that Devlan would read Randel’s thoughts but not know Planz’s thoughts.

‘I called Sir Grace because I thought it might help.’

‘Should I wait?’

‘no. They say they left later than us, but they’ll be able to join us by the time they get to the border tomorrow. You may not know this because you’ve never met her, but Grace is very quick on her feet.’

Because it was a sudden departure, Rachel could not come with us. Kalian contacted Alan and asked him to come separately.

A master of movement magic whose name is not well known even in Kairis because he traveled around here and there to build a movement magic circle after coming to Kyris as a member of Alan Manasil’s family.

‘Not even Devlan knows who Lord Grace is.’

It was Chase who managed all those birds in Kairis, not Devlan.

Before he blocked Tensil’s priesthood, Chase was Devlan’s son. Therefore, Devlan managed birds related to Tensil, such as the blue warbler, and handed over Kairis’s birds to Chase. And then he started a chase like that.

‘Furthermore, Devlan may have been curious and concerned about my identity, but he probably did not think deeply about my brother. I, who was in charge of Kairis’ information, also had no interest in my brother before he ascended to the crown.’

‘…… okay.’

Of course, there were birds under Devlan in Kairis as well.

Through them, it was Lemain and Balkan that Devlan focused on and guarded against. The actions of the three princes who had not yet ascended to the crown were not worthy of attention. Anyway, as time goes by, it will be reduced to just one person.

Perhaps to Kalyan.

‘So Devlan doesn’t understand why his brother came here or what he believed in.’

A person who has a brother as his enemy.

Who has little information about the Kairis princes.

He said that a person who would not even understand for whom it was that blocked Silike’s path would never understand Planz.

‘Are you saying you called that wizard to not give him time to understand?’

‘yes. After crossing the mountain, I am trying to get there as quickly as possible with the help of Sir Grace. If you’re planning to stab Devlan in the back anyway, it’s better not to give him time to think until he gets there. ‘I’m thinking about being more careful with you than me, and I’m thinking about using another tactic.’

Planz’s birthday wasn’t just a good excuse for Kalian. The same goes for Devlan. Devlan will try to use these sudden strangers somehow. Because the way of thinking is different and there is less information, it does not mean that the thinking is short.

So I hurried.

‘Shouldn’t you also tell your older brother?’

‘yes. I also told Chase about it. He said he would prepare.’

‘okay.’

That’s how it arrived.

And then I realized.

Something I had forgotten for a while due to Devlan.

It was only after seeing the distant sea illuminated by moonlight that I truly realized it. As I watched it all night, I realized deeply in my heart what I had forgotten.

Where is this place?

“Ah…”

The outer castle gate, which was supposed to be closed, was wide open.

The swirling flames have not yet started, and a cold, clear wind blows by instead of the stinging fishy smell of the dark red blood that soaked the ground. Instead of raining pitch-black arrows, under the sky filled with pure white clouds, I couldn’t bear to step on even a single pebble under my feet.

– Jabak.

I barely got off Raven’s back.

I could barely take a step. And walked.

Hello beautiful Secretia.

I don’t know if it’s a memory, a recollection, or a dream, but it fills my head, and there’s no place that doesn’t catch my eye, but it’s a beautiful land that’s no longer my country. I finally came to this place after many tearful days where even the words “I tried to protect this place” were too much for me because there was no place that wasn’t precious to me.

I truly realized that.

One step, two steps from where the wizards stood that day. Another step or two from where Planz was standing that day. Without saying a word, I continued to walk, taking half a step from where Arsene was standing that day. So on that day…

– Sigh.

The spire I wanted to see so much.

Lastly, the image I wanted to capture but wasn’t allowed to.

The red eyes that had been staring up at me slowly closed.

Kirie, who had closed her eyes for a while and listened to the sound of her breathing rising and falling more quietly than anyone else, quietly opened her mouth. At this moment, the only person who could talk to Calian was Kirie.

“Someone has arrived to guide you to the inner castle. And Secretia’s concubine is said to be coming to meet you in front of the palace.”

“okay.”

“Prince Planz said he would share the greetings, so he said.”

“No. I will do it.”

“Yes. I will tell you that.”

How did I know it would be difficult to walk back?

Raven came to the side on her own accord, lowered her head and tapped Calian’s shoulder.

“It’s okay. You don’t have to lean on it now.”

Calian, who had appeased the large, black, friendly beast, looked down once more at the memory resting at his feet.

I have already sent it once in my heart and sent it floating once more on the blue flame of the sea, but the heart of a foolish person is so tough that it is truly foolish.

I closed my eyes for just a moment and let it go again. After doing that, I climbed onto Raven’s back without any hesitation and went straight up to the castle.

“This is the second prince of Kairis, Planz Rune Kairis, and the third prince, Calian Lane Kairis.”

“Nice to meet you. This is concubine Louise Nella. I’ve heard a lot from Crown Prince Chase.”

Even during the brief introduction between Louise and Kirie, there was no movement. He took good care of the weak heart of his son, who did not live long.

“I wanted to meet you. Really.”

He greeted Louise with a face full of joy and even smiled.

okay. It was really okay.

I was fine as I controlled and controlled my mind.

It was okay.

……How dare you.

* * *

A smile I have never seen before.

A voice I’ve never heard before.

– It’s okay if you don’t do that.

Chase recognized and Kirie understood.

And Plantz understood.

‘Calian.’

I’m angry.

No, to be precise.

‘Don’t hold back.’

It turned.

* * *

Red Cloak.

The prince’s uniform that he did not prepare because he thought he would never wear it.

‘Prince Planz wants you to wear this today.’

The red cloak that Plants handed over to Kyrie that morning caught the wind.

My brother, who was so thoughtless as to let me borrow his clothes from Secretia, not from anywhere else, received them in advance through Jan and put them in my luggage.

Even here, his actions in trying to imprint me as the prince of Kairis are truly brother-like and should I be scolded. Even here, I should laugh at how brother-like his actions are to make sure I don’t forget that I am the prince of Kairis. Since he didn’t know that, he just told him that he knew and put on his full uniform without saying a word.

The red cloak wrapped around a dark blue jacket.

Chase’s body was covered.

Plantz, who dressed up and dressed his younger brother well with the meaning of having to endure a lot, told him not to endure it without hesitation, and Kalian really did not tolerate it.

– Jabak.

Chase, who saw the Kyris emblem engraved on his cloak, hid his surprise and raised his head. And then I saw a dog with red eyes that had been let off its leash, turning its gaze towards a snake hiding its poison, and the green eyes of the person who had mercilessly let go of the leash. So I was surprised again.

There was a smile on Plantz’s lips that was very similar to Calian’s.

‘Look carefully. ‘How well my brother barks.’

It seems like this is what it sounds like.

Regardless of knowing that he had faced a disappointing situation, a deep sense of relief appeared in Chase’s eyes.

Chase wondered how Calian called him, whether Devlan understood the meaning of Calian’s actions, what the people around him thought, and how Devlan would react. I didn’t worry about anything.

Without thinking about anything else, I leaned into the comfort of the cloak for a moment.

“Nice to meet you.”

Devlan’s eyes turned to Calian.

Looking into the eyes of a person who was good at hiding his feelings, the person who had no desire to hide his feelings smiled.

“Okay. Nice to meet you.”

Devlan, with the eyes of a predator facing something extremely interesting, drew a gentler expression than anyone else.

Calian, who had declared that he would protect him while riding on the back of your son, Kairis, whom you had dragged down, smiled like a newly bloomed flower towards Devlan.

“It’s Kalian. I am.”

* * *

Navigation.

Devlan opened his mouth in a quiet voice.

“I thought it was a bit surprising because I didn’t know that the prince of Kairis was so close to the crown prince of Secretia.”

“Is that so.”

There is no benefit in criticizing rudeness.

If you look at his actions, all he did was take off the cloak he was wearing and put it on himself. If we take issue with the current situation, it is known that the crown prince had to stand in the garden for an hour and the prince of a foreign country had to feel ‘unfortunate’ about it. Without the need for Chase to appear at the noble meeting, what Devlan now thinks of Chase will be revealed in detail.

Thus Devlan buried Kalian’s rudeness.

“Besides, you have a familiar child by your side, so what should I say?”

Of course, this does not mean that rudeness has been forgotten.

Calian, who was still smiling, turned his head for a moment and looked at Aela standing behind him. I opened my mouth, taking in the water-drop-like beads hanging at the end of the hairpin for a moment.

“You may have thought it was familiar to me since I broke its wings and placed it in a cage, but I can’t help but remember the words I would give to the person who caught the bird that ran away on its own.”

“I guess that’s true. The bird that left me of its own accord went to you, so it’s true that I have nothing to say to you. In that case, should I talk to the bird?”

“It would be better to speak of the hand that broke the wing. The bird just wanted to live. And… I also told you that I reaped it, but it seems you didn’t hear it.”

After saying this, Kalian turned his head to face Devlan.

“Either he ran away, he flew in, or I picked him up. Now that he is my property, I don’t think he is someone you can talk to. What do you think?”

“He who knows how to put it into words is reaching out for what is mine.”

“Ah… Are you talking about Brother Chase?”

Calian continued to give the rest of his answer in a soft voice.

“He didn’t hold it well, but he tried to throw it to the bottom. Instead, I held it up.”

Devlan nodded without another word and a smile appeared on his lips again.

Devlan’s eyes soon fell on the group behind Calian.

My eyes caught Planz standing there wearing the same princely uniform as Calian. Kirie, who had been listening to the two’s conversation in detail, opened her mouth after seeing Calian’s head nod slightly.

“This is Planz Rune Kairis, the second prince of Kairis.”

After that, Plantz spoke in a low voice.

“I meet His Majesty the King of Secretia.”

I bowed my head slightly and greeted the owner with proper etiquette in front of the owner, who did not need to introduce himself. With a completely expressionless face.

There is one person who has a polite expression but a not so polite mouth.

There is one person who has a polite mouth but a not so polite expression.

Isn’t this a truly interesting combination?

“It may be a sudden visit, but I am sincerely glad to see you, so I hope you have a comfortable stay and return.”

“Thank you for your hospitality.”

“however.”

Devlan paused and hid a weak cough. And then he opened his mouth again.

“I’m worried that the road you have to take on your way back after coming here alone will be difficult.”

“Thank you for your concern. It’s okay.”

Plantz bowed his head slightly.

In front of Devlan’s eyes, the tip of Plantz’s finger toward the floor drew a long arc.

A low voice continued.

“If you want to get what you want… shouldn’t you put what’s mine on the line first?”

You, buried in doubts about me and my younger brother.

I’ll put you in the abyss.
