Reborn as the Enemy Prince

Chapter 155

Chapter 26. It’s not difficult (5)

It should have just disappeared.

It should have been better.

It should have disappeared and never appeared before my eyes again.

So suddenly.

So suddenly.

...... So suddenly.

why!

* * *

Just like Bern.

Something that shouldn’t have been there at a time it shouldn’t have been in a place it shouldn’t have been.

In pieces and not even whole.

okay. Just like Bern.

It was better not to see it.

Not knowing is a hundred and a thousand times better.

I wanted to know why the axis of time moved and who moved it and for what purpose. I followed it. I never wanted to face the axis of time again. I never dreamed that I would see it again.

– They say they can turn back time just once.

Those were Chase’s words.

Just one line I found in an old, very old book. It was said that it was the only information about the axis of time. So I just took it for granted. I thought that after using it once, it was gone.

But I ended up watching it again like this.

Even if he could gather all the words that existed in this world out loud, they would not be able to express Kalian’s feelings right now.

Calian’s mouth opened slightly as he looked at the golden ring floating alone in the air.

“Ha...”

A sigh flowed out, containing words more certain than anything else in the world. As I watched him exhale, fortunately it didn’t seem to be so terrible that he had to give up on life, so I let out a laugh at the end of my sigh.

I now understand why, before entering this place, Alan tried to lighten Calian’s mood by telling jokes that he didn’t usually make. The moment he came in and saw that, he must have been worried about what would happen to Calian.

Don’t be surprised, don’t be agitated. I couldn’t even tell him that, so I must have joked or said something like that.

“It’s funny. If my brother had cooked his food properly, we wouldn’t have seen something like that so suddenly.”

While laughing, Kalian also joked.

To Alan, who was only looking at the back of Calian’s head, he meant to tell him that it was okay and not to worry. He mentioned an innocent person without any connection to the rediscovery of the shaft fragment.

“Thank goodness. It’s only a small part, and part of it is here.”

And added this:

I’m glad I’m a part of it.

“I don’t have to have expectations that I shouldn’t have and I don’t have to worry about the same thing happening again. That’s a real relief.”

I’m so glad I don’t have to have expectations that I shouldn’t have because it’s only a part of me.

“Because some are here, so the same thing won’t happen again, wherever the rest are.”

How fortunate I am for that too.

In the end, there is nothing fortunate about Kalyan himself. He said he was as happy as the day he found out that Bern’s life had been completely erased and forgotten.

“... Don’t swallow it like that. It will upset the prince.”

This is Kalyan, whose stomach melted after swallowing Silike’s poisoned tea. I swallowed it all without frowning in front of others. He says he is fortunate in a normal voice, but is it any different this time?

Even so, poison got into the sun again.

Calian did not respond for a while. Alan tried hard to suppress the urge to immediately go next to him and check what Calian’s face was like.

Calian spent a long time in silence.

Alan just watched Calian without saying anything.

I’m worried that it might collapse.

“It’s okay. My heart is strong.”

After a while, I finally heard an answer from Calian. It was a calm voice that did not waver in the slightest.

Now that I knew it wasn’t such a terrible feeling as to die, I thought it was okay. Even after seeing this, I realized that there was nothing I could do about it.

“Is this going to be any different now? Even if by some chance I can completely take control of the axis of time and move time again, how can I change something that has already become so out of sync?”

What if someone other than Bern is forgotten again?

What if someone other than Kalyan loses his name again?

So just close your eyes.

“...How do you plan to handle it?”

Although he didn’t believe Calian’s words that it was okay, Alan only asked this. I thought it would be better to continue my thoughts in a different direction.

“That’s enough for me. No more.”

Calian said something that seemed like an answer and stepped closer to the golden ring.

“First of all, I have to meet Brother Randel again.”

A black pebble with letters engraved on it that seem to be the same as those on the axis of time. And the force used by some kind of organization to which the pebble reacted. Their connection with Randel.

Calian said this as he made up his mind to meet one of the two hard-working guys.

* * *

“Please answer me, Brother Randel. Should I think of you as an enemy, or should I embrace you as well? I want you to tell me that directly.”

That’s what he said.

“I don’t need to tell you right now how much is hidden in the oath seal, so just tell me that one thing first.”

He also said this.

“You keep Brisen and Your Highness together.”

Randel, who looked at Calian for a moment, quietly opened his mouth.

He realized that Briesen and Lemain were on the same line. Not only Lemain, but if Landel is targeting Briesen, isn’t there a strong intention to stop it?

Calian nodded as if he had nothing to hide.

“I decided not to place the Marquis and Margrave in the same position as Brisen. I gave up the idea of having that entire family as enemies. The Marquis and Margrave Lennon, Viscount Briessen. I think I’ll just delete those three and save the family. “I have something to write about.”

“I wonder if it’s your pride or yourself. You probably don’t know how difficult it is to get rid of all the heads while maintaining the power of Brisen, and how unlikely it is to properly use the Brisen that has been kept alive.” “I have some faith in him

. It’ll probably be okay.”

After saying that, Calian tapped the rim of the teacup with his finger and continued.

“If something escapes the hands of that trustworthy corner, you can just go and strike it down, so it won’t be difficult.”

Brisen’s power is needed, but It’s not precious. If there are guys who act outside of Plantz’s hands, you just have to get rid of them. It’s not difficult.

Pruning.

Haven’t you already done it too many times?

“You don’t doubt the kid you trust.”

A corner of belief . He said this already knowing that it was Plants, and Calian laughed for a moment. Randel

was right.

It was boiled peas that I couldn’t help but love and hate. I never had any doubts.

Bern wasn’t good at creating his own people. Instead, those who came into his enclosure. I didn’t doubt it.

Of course I got hit in the back of the head, so I know how much it hurts. Nevertheless, I didn’t doubt my person.

“Because I trust myself more.”

It wasn’t because I foolishly liked people. It

was because I trusted myself.

“I am not the type of person who would fall because of betrayal or something.”

It could have been confidence or arrogance, but in any case, the same was true for Calian now. So from the moment I decided to join hands with Plantz, even though I hated him, I never doubted him.

” okay. I understand.”

“Shouldn’t you answer now?”

Randel answered, and Calian looked at Randel again.

Randel, who looked at Calian for a moment, opened his mouth.

“It’s something else. I’m not targeting your Highness or Brisen.”

“Can’t you tell me exactly what it is?”

“Yes.”

“Because of the contract?”

“Okay.”

This is

enough for now.

Calian, who had made his decision, nodded. I nodded.

In order to protect Lemain’s life from being shortened, I have to protect him from falling into the hands of others until the axis of time is destroyed. In addition to protecting the heart of the grass-eater, I have to protect my eldest brother as well. I can protect everything. Well, I can do it in

parallel

. It shouldn’t be difficult since it’s a job.

“I understand.”

The scent of bergamot no longer rose from the cooled black tea.

I couldn’t tell if it wasn’t coming out or if the scent was still there but I couldn’t feel it. Anyway, now there was only a bitter scent and a bitter taste. “You always turn your back on Brother Randel.” It wasn’t friendship

that

could be shared face to face with Randel right now. Because if we faced each other, we would have no choice but to point our swords at each other. This

time, it wasn’t to turn our backs, but to protect him. There are differences, but in the end, all Calian can show Randel is his back. That is the best for now.

“Don’t step out of my shadow anymore.”

Calian’s red eyes stared into Randel’s abyss.

“I’m dying.”

Breath. I extended my hand for the first and last time towards those dark blue sea-colored eyes that were closing in on me.
