Reborn as the Enemy Prince

Chapter 51. You may say it’s puberty (1)

A path you walk without knowing the end.

A path leading to the end.

Plantz’s world was not wide. Kalian knew it, of course, but Plantz himself learned it very well this time. I lived without knowing what the seed from which a banana tree grows looked like or what the sound of waves contained inside a conch shell was like. So Plantz’s world was not wide at all.

That’s why I didn’t know that either.

I thought everyone was walking without knowing the end. Now I thought I would live as if the end of life did not exist, like a silique that I sometimes pass by and think of again and again.

Then I saw a crazy guy.

If you ask why I call that crazy guy crazy, I have nothing else to say. Crazy wizards are said to be crazy because they have given up on being human so much, but that crazy person is a truly crazy person who is completely different from the crazy wizard.

The crazy guy walks towards the end.

There was no one who lived like that in the small world of Planz. The world has expanded a little, but the only person who lives like that is still that crazy person.

– …… If I got rid of my regrets one by one, would I have lasted another day?

A rocky mountain in the early morning before coming here.

The royal carriage was parked between where Raven lay and the rest of the party. Plantz, who was in the carriage, heard the crazy man’s words to Kyrie, although there were intermittent interruptions. Since I was the type of person who would get caught somehow, I just pretended not to hear anything and listened to him.

– If I had just one more day, everything would have changed a little bit.

Anyway, that crazy guy is Calian.

This is a guy who lives just to earn one day. I work harder and more earnestly than anyone else, living each day as if it were my last. I live preparing for the end so that I will not regret it even when the end comes.

So Planz.

It was believed that in this world, there are people who walk without knowing the end and people who walk toward the end.

But I met one more person.

A person who does not know but is also not prepared. There was a person walking to avoid the end.

“I don’t know if this is coincidence or waiting.”

As I continued walking under the auspices of the Secretia Royal Palace annex, I passed a place full of nameless red flowers and came to a green garden full of nameless bushes. After finishing the breakfast that Chase had invited me to, I walked there to relieve my frustration, looked around, and was thinking that later, whether I see my brother or Chase, I should ask about that red flower and the name of this bush, when someone quietly walked by.

A person who looks a lot like Chase.

A person who was said to resemble the king a lot. But a person who I don’t think resembles him in the slightest.

“I guess it depends on what you think.”

Although he didn’t particularly want to meet him or wait for him, Planz answered calmly. Devlan, with a gentle smile on his cold face, nodded.

“I met your brother a little while ago. We talked a lot. Do you know anything?”

“It’s not something I should be concerned about.”

It’s very similar to what Calian is talking about.

I don’t mean the tone or voice, but the way of speaking is very similar. As the saying goes, the meaning changes significantly depending on how you think about it. As Devlan and Chase often say.

Does this mean that he met Devlan by chance or that he waited? Does this mean that Devlan is deliberately trying not to pay attention to the fact that he met Calian, or does it mean that he is not interested?

“The two brothers seemed very different, but they also have many similarities.”

“This is the first time I’ve heard that we look alike.”

“It’s surprising. It seems to me that they look a lot alike. In fact, they say they are very different brothers, so I wondered how they move together, but it makes a little sense.”

“It’s not because we resemble each other, but because we learn.”

“Did you learn that?”

“The first thing I learned was that you have to hold hands or show your back depending on the time.”

Plantz, who had no way of knowing that Calian believed that ‘the reason the Kyris royal family has no or short speech is because it resembles Sispanian’, thought about something else for a moment. It is said that Calian’s speaking a lot is a characteristic of the Secretia royal family.

“Are you just doing what you were taught?”

“I just do what I’ve learned as needed.”

“I wonder what you learned, from whom, and how.”

Otherwise, not only Calian, who barks incessantly, but also Chase, is quite noisy, so I guess there is no other reason for Devlan to be so talkative. It doesn’t seem like an environment for the whole family to sit together and talk in harmony, so I can’t help but think of it as a characteristic of the royal family.

“I learned a lot from my brother.”

Thanks to this, Plantz, who was a little tired, answered with a look of annoyance.

“Did you just learn many things from your brother without teaching them well?”

“I’m not big enough to teach anyone.”

“Then your brother must have a very big heart.”

“The remote area is wide.”

It seems he has finally read my annoying expression.

Devlan burst into laughter at the last words, which did not seem very fitting to come from the mouth of a prince. Then, at the end, a coughing sound came out.

“I think you need to rest, so I’ll go in now.”

Planz, who watched Devlan coughing for a moment, said.

Kalian spoke poorly throughout the conversation and asked permission to stop the conversation. However, although Planz was polite to the king of another country, he was arbitrarily deciding to leave after the conversation. According to etiquette, neither option is correct.

“It is indeed a fun day. In the morning your brother amused me, and now you are amusing me again.”

You may be happy, but I’m not happy.

I feel like I’ve spoken for 10 days right here.

When I thought about it, there were more and more cases where I had to talk a lot at some point. Most of them were words said to my younger brother about matters related to Devlan.

“I don’t think we are in a relationship to talk for pleasure, Your Highness.”

“Is that so?”

After answering without erasing the discomfort, Devlan laughed again.

“Or what have you risked? What have you risked to get something from the other person? I want to hear that here.”

Then he spoke again.

Devlan.

Annoying.

It’s even more annoying because I think I know where this guy’s personality of barking like crazy comes from, whether he likes it or not.

“I’ve never walked before.”

Plantz responded like this in a voice full of frustration.

“Why have you never walked before?”

“I already had things worth risking for me.”

“You mean you already have it all, no need to take it. Then,”

“If what you need is your life.”

Plantz cut off Devlan’s words.

And before Devlan spoke again, he said what he wanted to say.

“Please give me something worthy of exchange. I will tell you how to get it.”

A strange look appeared in Devlan’s eyes.

It finally got a little quiet.

* * *

Four people.

Four warriors from the great desert attacked at once. The four swords were shining the same red color. These are people who came to know about Calian’s swordsmanship, so their skills will not be easy.

Calian glanced back and muttered, smiling a little helplessly.

“You’ve grown a year older and you’ve grown up. You’re a good listener.”

As he said, Plantz was listening very carefully to his brother today. It means that they are not paying attention to the situation here and are looking into the cat.

“That’s right. Is it indifference or faith… or are cats really amazing?”

Calian somehow felt as if he had been hit in the back of the head now rather than a little while ago, so he stopped talking to himself and played with his feet.

Aside from the fact that he probably didn’t have much interest in his younger brother, he thought about whether he had too much faith or whether the cat was amazing, and decided that he had too much faith. It was a little unfair to think that I was going through all this trouble because of my older brother who didn’t care about my younger brother dying while looking after his two cats.

He called the fifteen knights of Secretia who were surrounding him and told them to watch and learn from their brother who was far away. Instead of getting cut off for getting involved in a fight for no reason, he told me to just watch the cat next to that efficient and respectable person who is trying to celebrate his brother’s death on his birthday.

I said that because I knew that even if the knights changed their minds and attacked, they were Plants who would hold out well until Calian went. Still, just in case, if there was someone among you who wasn’t a knight, I told them to wait patiently, as it wouldn’t end with getting upset.

– Kaaaaang!

Calian, unable to laugh or cry, roughly organized his surroundings and struck down the two swords extending from both sides at a time difference, one by one, and then moved his arms.

They blocked Calian’s sword swinging in the shadows.

Calian, who blocked the attack coming from above and the attack coming from the side, hid himself again. I started dealing with the four people while preventing them from going to a place full of salt and a place that seemed to have a particularly green smell.

‘Once my brother met Devlan and came out of the palace, Zeon came.’

Plantz used Kalian as bait.

At a time like this, isn’t Plants really asking to come see the sea? As soon as I could say I had a plan, Zeon’s warriors arrived, so it was Plantz who led those warriors out. The problem is that I didn’t even tell Calian about the trick.

Calian laughed and held out his sword once again, wondering if he was really going to make today the anniversary of his brother’s death.

‘Who did it? It wouldn’t be something Devlan did.’

If warriors join you as soon as you leave the palace, it means that Devlan and Zeon are involved.

It’s a ploy to make you believe…

Of course there could be a connection. Kalian also continued to think that way. However, Devlan is not the type of person who would even think about doing something that Evan would not do.

If you were that stupid, you wouldn’t have explored Calian and Plants until now. If you wanted to kill all of your companions, it would be better to use poison. If we just mess around with food or water, everyone except Calian will easily disappear, so why bother doing something like this?

– Kaga River! Kaang!

In that case, it is not Devlan, but an official who knows about the princes’ sudden departure.

‘Or the real Devlan, considering that it might not be Devlan’s doing.’

There is a possibility that he did it outright in an attempt to counter the belief that Devlan would not do such an unreasonable thing.

“I’m dying of curiosity.”

Anyway, I’ll answer your questions later. First of all, I needed to soothe my distraught feelings after being stabbed in the back.

– Shhh!

– Kaang! Kaga River!

Calian kicked his foot after sending out four daggers made of aura.

Calian’s thin fingers moved towards one of the four warriors with bright red hair. Translucent blue light split the air along with the sound of something sharp and thin cutting through the air.

The redhead struck down the dagger flying in front of me.

I didn’t see the long, thin thing flying behind me.

-Ssam!

I realized late that Calian was a wizard.

– Kwasik!

The price of enlightenment is quite painful.

The spear of wind pierced its body.

The power of the wind opens and tears open wounds.

Because I quickly dodged, there was no hole in my heart, but my side was torn the size of a fist. The guy who had been staggering got up by placing his sword on the ground. Red energy gathers and his wounds begin to heal.

Calian lunges at him.

To live.

Living like a beast below a human or living like an absolute being more than a human. That kind of life straightens the redhead’s nerves.

He raised his sword towards the bright red eyes flying in front of me.

– Kaaaang!

The guy gritted his teeth and struck away Calian’s sword. And he forced his disobedient body to move and lower the sword.

At the same time, the wind spear created behind Calian flies towards him. Magical energy containing the power of the wind rotating at an incredible speed rushed towards him.

-Ssam!

– Kaang!

The guy kicked out the window.

He barely managed to block Calian’s sword that came flying after him.

Calian’s appearance disappeared.

The guy concentrates and looks around.

In the meantime, Calian, who had blocked the feet of the three who were attacking them by sending daggers and spears at them, revealed himself from behind the redhead.

– Shhh!

The red-haired warrior urgently bowed as he felt the sword reaching out at an invisible speed. He cried and the blood that flowed from his wound soaked the white sand.

– Scum!

Kalian’s attacks did not stop.

Six attacks and defenses took place within a couple of breaths. Some fly away and some get crushed. The guy took a few steps back and dodged Calian’s attack. I knew that if I allowed even one attack, my life would be cut off immediately, so I gritted my teeth and avoided it.

– Kaga River! Kaang!

Calian’s foot hit the ground again. With that, the spears of wind fly towards him. The guy quickly rotated his sword and blocked it.

A healing wound opened up. Other warriors rushed towards Calian, and Calian, who struck down three swords, tenaciously charged towards the red-haired bastard.

The redhead frowned. Treatment was not easy as I was constantly moving my body. Calian looked down at the dripping blood of the bastard for a moment and then let out an emotionless voice.

“It certainly looks like other guys can’t heal you for you. Maybe it’s because you’re not a healer.”

If the other three had the ability to heal others, the redhead’s wounds would have already healed.

This confirms that unless you are a healer, you cannot heal other people’s wounds. Well, that’s why Devlan must have gone to the healer. Not Xeon.

“That’s a good thing.”

The murderous force that became even more intense swirled around as if grabbing the guy’s feet.

“… I guess we can just get rid of it.”

A whisper-like voice reached the redhead’s ears.

Calian suddenly appeared in front of the guy and swung his red sword. He felt a cool breeze blowing behind his back and turned in the opposite direction.

Magic in front of you and a sword behind your back.

What should I stop first?

The worries didn’t last long.

-Ssam!

– Ta-da-da-dan! Kaang!

As if twisting his back, the guy knocked away several forearm-sized wind picks, then turned around and struck Calian’s sword again.

At that moment, the sword in Calian’s hand disappeared.

As the opponent’s sword, which was supposed to receive the power, disappeared, the red-haired warrior’s body lost its balance. Thus, the momentary gap created

– suddenly!

Kalian did not miss.

Red light splits the darkness and flashes.

A long crack appeared on its neck.

As if there was no need to see what would happen soon, Calian took off again without paying any more attention to the body falling down.

“one.”

As one comrade died from the flurry of attacks, the remaining three rushed towards Calian.

Calian, who moved his body lightly, blocked two attacks and dodged one attack. He rushed towards the second warrior with long dark brown braided hair.

Death seeps into the shadows.

* * *

Plantz did not take his eyes off the screen in his hand.

The two cats, who had lost interest in Plantz’s face as he just stared at them in silence, had long since moved away from the other side of the screen. Plantz continued to look at the screen, just listening to what Relic said.

– How did they suddenly appear? Why is Prince Planz there?

– Because the reason is not important.

A faint light was coming from the bracelet worn on his left arm. Planz turned his head to look at Calian for a moment, then his eyes closed quietly.

One person’s head falls off and falls on the white sand beach.

Even in the dark, his red hair was clearly visible.

Planz, who was quietly looking at it, released the magic he had been putting into the crystal plate.

– Come. hurry. Take that handsome knight with you.

– …… All right.

In any case, Plantz, who had no intention of leaving Calian to continue the fight alone, placed the crystal plate on the floor. And then he quietly took a step.

With a clanging sound, an even more unique sword is pulled out from a unique scabbard. As the knights of Secretia made movements that seemed to be wary of Plantz, one corner of Plantz’s mouth curled up.

“It’s better not to worry.”

Don’t hinder, don’t help, it’s better for them to do nothing here. When Planz took a step among the knights who were silent because they knew it well.

“If you leave the crystal plate on the sand, it will get scratched.”

A voice was heard in a place where there was nothing.

And anytime, anywhere, an unwelcome face appeared.

Planz paused again after taking just one step and frowned.

“……what.”

Kalyan says:

Since time immemorial, isn’t it best to give a blow to the back of the head?

“Prince Planz, your second older brother and vice-captain, who really doesn’t listen to what you say and is extremely weak, told me that it’s time to stab you in the back, so keep an eye on him and stop him if he tries to do something strange.”

Duck’s mother was reinstated.
