Reborn as the Enemy Prince

Chapter 21

Chapter 6. No bad intentions (1)

Late afternoon that day.

Calian matched the magic pattern on the top of the safe and opened the door.

The old Calian had never touched it himself, so he couldn’t remember it, and he managed to open it after making several mistakes as he tried to operate it as he had seen Jan open it before.

The safe, which was large enough to fit a Kalian, contained several documents and a considerable amount of money, just as I had seen before. Kalian looked at it for a moment, then picked up a handful of gold, silver, and copper coins, excluding the check, and put them in his pocket.

“Sorry. I’ll just take it out a little bit.”

When Jan asked where it was, he was already outside, so there was no other answer to Kalian’s words.

Alan, who was waiting for Calian with Jan in front of Chermil Palace, was holding a black robe in his hand.

And next to him was Raven, standing with one leg slightly bent, as if this was the posture of a dignified horse.

“Raven.”

When I called out in joy, Raven lifted her head and purred. Yan, who was handing over the reins to Raven, asked in an anxious voice.

“Prince. Are you sure you don’t mind going without me?”

It seems like they forgot again that the person accompanying them is the world’s strongest wizard. Calian nodded as if telling him not to worry and got on the Raven.

Alan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he saw him huff and mount the horse with lighter movements than before. Although he had a thoughtful face, Alan soon hid his thoughts and spoke to Jan.

“Don’t worry unnecessarily. Your Majesty has given permission, and I will be by your side.”

“Okay, don’t worry. I’ll be there by dawn tomorrow.”

At that time, Calian made a surprise announcement and Raven took off on her own.

Yan shouted with a face that made his eyes pop out.

“Tomorrow! You said you’d be here before midnight!”

Of course, Calian was already far away.

Alan tapped Jan’s shoulder as if to cheer him up and ran out after Calian.

Calian, who successfully eluded Jan and came out of the palace as a guarantee for Alan’s company, quickly put on the robe handed to him by Alan. A deep hood covered the head and eyes.

“I used to cover my face for other reasons. It feels strange, Master.”

He had a very flushed expression.

That’s because it was the first free time I had since coming into Kalian’s body.

“Are you that good?”

“Yes, this... I’ve been waiting for this for so long.”

I almost said, ‘It’s been a while since I’ve been out,’ but I barely managed it. This was the old Kalyan’s first time out.

Alan smiled and nodded without answering.

Calian, who was playing with Raven’s mane, asked.

“Did Your Highness really give permission?”

“Probably by now, Lemain has also received reports of the prince’s outing.”

A carefree way of saying, “I don’t know.”

They said they didn’t tell Lemain.

“I knew you would.”

Still, I wasn’t worried. Alan will take care of it.

And at that time, Lemain only nodded when he received the report that Calian had left the palace again. I thought Alan would take care of it.

“Then I’ll be back, Master.”

So Alan, who was responsible for this outing, raised his eyebrows at Calian’s words that came out like this.

“Are you saying you’re going to leave me behind too?”

In fact, even if Calian used a sword himself, he could not use one made of ordinary iron. Because you won’t be able to withstand the aurors for long.

‘what. Even my body can’t withstand the aurors now.’

Suddenly, I remembered the cry of the broken sword on the day Bern died.

Of course it will be fine now and not broken, but Calian will never see that sword again. Because it was a treasured sword that had been passed down from generation to generation in the Secretia royal family.

When I thought of the sword, I also thought of the wizard who broke the sword and caused Bern’s death. A deep smile appeared on Kalian’s face as he remembered him covering his face with a white mask.

It was very painful. Just try to meet sometime. It was a smile with some kind of meaning.

“Here it is.”

Before he knew it, the voice of the store owner who had come looking for the goods brought Kalian back to reality.

What the owner brought out were three long swords.

Although it was on the light side, Calian could not even lift it with one hand.

‘What a mess.’

Calian laughed at himself and grabbed the sword with both hands. He then swung it slightly and began to carefully check various parts of the sword. Since this was the first sword Kirie would use, she couldn’t choose roughly.

‘The center of gravity was well established. Flexibility and sharpness. It looks like an ordinary store, but the workmanship is not ordinary.’

The owner’s doubts grew as he saw this.

This is because the appearance of the customer, probably a boy with his face covered with a hood, examining the sword was unusual.

The attitude of accurately pointing out and checking important parts was stricter than that of a senior engineer. However, he cannot even lift the sword properly.

“I’ll take this. This knife too.”

I was confused as I couldn’t figure out what it was, but Calian picked out a sword. It was an item that would have been the same even if the owner had chosen it.

Calian, who soon took out 8 silver coins and paid for the long sword and knife, asked.

“Are all the weapons here made by hand?”

“Yes, it is.”

Immediately, three gold coins were placed on the counter. The owner’s eyes widened because it was almost four times what he had just paid.

“I need a slightly stronger long sword and a dagger without a guard. The weight should be the same as a regular sword.”

“Will the person who will use this sword use it when he or she is more skilled with the sword?”

Calian nodded and added his request.

“That’s right. He’s very tall and wields a heavy sword, but he’s not slow. Both of them will be used for a long time, so I want them to be good swords made with care. Can you make them for me?”

The owner, who remembered the user’s description, readily answered.

“Of course. But do you have a name to engrave on the sword?”

“No. There is no such thing.”

“Okay. Then how long will you give me?”

“That’s something I should ask. It doesn’t matter how long it takes, you just have to make it right.”

The owner thought for a moment and then said.

“Then, I will find the best materials possible and make a sword you will like. Could you please stop by again in about a month?”

“I will do that. If you run out of money, you can pay more then.”

“all right.”

After greeting him like that, the owner handed the knife to Calian and then went out with the long sword and tried to put it on Raven’s saddle.

Then Calian, who momentarily saw the whites in Raven’s eyes, waved his hand and took the sword.

“No, don’t do that. I will do it.”

Thanks to the words of this guy who was only kind to his master, Calian whined and tied the sword to the saddle himself.

Then, after fastening the leather belt connected to the knife sheath to the inside of the sleeve, he climbed on Raven’s back.

The place to go now is a bit special. It was a store that sold things.
