Reborn as the Enemy Prince

Chapter 68

Chapter 14. It’s been a while (5)

– Elf Sia Rose Cobblestone Axis of Time Sispanian.

And Serenti.

Calian, who had several words that came to mind in an instant engraved in his mind, took a step. Then Jan came forward and said.

“I’ll take a look. It’s dangerous, so stay back.”

I don’t know what kind of courage it was, but Jan said this and Calian just shook his head. And then I walked back one step at a time.

After taking five or six steps back, the light on the pebble disappeared. Of course, the light of the flower also disappeared.

A few steps forward again.

Flowers and stones shine together.

Calian soon walked around the rose garden and looked around. But I couldn’t find anything that gave off the same light.

After confirming that there were no more flowers of the same type, Kalian returned to where he originally stood. Then, he walked in front of the flower with careful steps, held a stone in his left hand, and stretched out his right hand to touch the petals.

Then

– Passu....

The red petals withered in an instant and fell to the floor. Along with that, the light of the pebble disappeared.

Kalian, realizing that he had rashly touched an unexpected figure, let out an embarrassed sound.

“this.”

The fallen petals soon crumbled into black, burnt ashes and scattered into the air.

Calian thought that it was as if time had stopped in an instant. Then, I caught the tail of that thought that came to me unconsciously.

‘hour.’

I couldn’t tell when the roses bloomed. But what if.

“If it has been blooming for a long time.”

Assuming that, Calian’s eyes calmly sank.

Sia, who was one step ahead of others, listened to and responded to Time.

And a flower that bloomed for a long time as if time had stopped.

“As expected, is this correcting the wrong time?”

Calian, who was thinking like that, frowned.

If time is to be corrected, isn’t Kalyan himself the first one to be corrected? Since Calian was here, standing unharmed, there was a high possibility that the conclusion I had just come to was not correct.

– She doesn’t want you to be impatient.

Sispanian’s voice came through my memories.

Because of the frustration it gave, Calian closed his eyes for a very long time, trying to stop himself from swearing bitterly.

“Time passes before your eyes, so don’t be impatient.”

And he sarcastically muttered:

Alan had no butler or servant.

Most things could be solved with magic, and the main reason was that wizards, like wizards, did not like having outsiders in their homes.

As a result, there was only one person hired by Alan at Kyrisis. There was only Oscar, the coachman.

“Manasil, you came home early today.”

Oscar, who has been driving Alan’s famous mother-of-pearl carriage for nearly half a year, said this and gave a friendly smile.

Even though it was already dark, I was on my way home, smelling the night air instead of dawn for the first time in a long time. Even so, if Lemain had not decided to have dinner with the princes, he would never have even dreamed of it.

Alan smiled and said similarly to Oscar’s greeting.

“Let’s run away quickly.”

“Huh? Running away?”

Oscar asked in surprise, and instead of answering, Alan got into the carriage. Alan’s excited voice came through the window behind the coach seat.

“His Majesty has gone to dinner. In the meantime, he is planning to organize everything and sneak away, so we must go quickly.”

Apparently, Lemain had said that he would finish work on the wizards after dinner. And Alan pretended not to hear that and just finished the urgent work and left like this.

Alan’s mouth opened again as he was somewhat flattered to see what kind of expression Lemain would make when he found out that he was gone.

“Today, my daughter-in-law and granddaughter who lived in Riverne arrived. Your Majesty is so indifferent. Wouldn’t it be right to tell her to go home on her own on a day like this? She really enjoyed pampering the old man.”

Oscar responded with a big smile.

“I see. I understand. I will run away quickly.”

Oscar soon began to undo the straps that held the horse’s reins in place.

But suddenly Alan sighed.

“What does that mean?”

LeMaine’s face frowned greatly when he thought that Alan had shown his intention to refuse. Alan saw that and asked with playful eyes.

“Do you know how much a baby elephant cares for your youngest son?”

And at the words that followed, Lemain’s eyes, who had been calm even in the face of Alan’s warp, lifted up.

This was because he realized that if Calian was pushed out, he would have to worry not about Calian but about the lives of the other two princes and the future of Kairis, so Alan shook his head to mean that there was no need for him to step forward.

Eventually, I completely sobered up.

Kalian had not gone to breakfast for two days.

He gave a reason that was half sincerity and half an excuse, saying that his illness had not yet resolved.

“Prince. Do you plan on having breakfast tomorrow too?”

Finally, on the second night, Jan asked with a voice filled with concern.

He was saying this out of concern that people might link him to Sillike’s mention of the Crown Prince or that he might be concerned about Calian’s health.

“Until tomorrow. I’ll be there the day after tomorrow.”

Instead of realizing or complaining that he had returned to a life where he could not eat breakfast as he wanted, Kalian simply responded like this.

Jan also knew why Calian didn’t come to breakfast, so he nodded without nagging him.

“Yes. I will tell you that. Then, I will leave as well. Be sure to close the window before going to sleep.”

“okay.”

After saying his final words, Yan went outside and locked the door, and a sigh escaped Kalian’s mouth as he was left alone.

“Whew.”

There is only one reason why Kalyan doesn’t go out to breakfast.

It was because of Randel.

Calian associated Randel simply because the thing that shone was a rose. There was not a single logical basis. It was simply because it was a garden tended by Randel.

There was no suspicion that Pebble and Randel were related. All I could think about was whether it was Randel who stopped the rose’s time. Because the blood of Tensil, where priests are born, also flowed in Randel.

However, since there was no basis to support such an out-of-the-blue suspicion, Calian decided that he should first observe Randel’s movements.

While I was thinking about it, I was trying not to encounter Randel for fear that he might unconsciously look at me with suspicion. Isn’t penetrating people’s hearts at a similar level to Alan’s?

Calian, who was lying in bed thinking about various things, soon fell into sleep.

And a while later, the dark dawn just before dawn.

– Sarah.......

There was the sound of a curtain shaking in the wind, and Calian’s eyes, which had been closed, slowly opened.

‘intruder.’

I felt someone’s silent footsteps.

And Jan obviously locked the door.

If you open it with a key other than Jan’s, the alarm magic created by Sispanian will be activated. So it wasn’t like someone came in by visiting.

Then I remembered that I fell asleep with the window open out of frustration. The window’s alarm magic had not been activated.

‘I should have listened to Jan carefully. ‘Something troublesome will happen.’

Calian laughed slightly.

And still lying down, he waited for the intruder to come closer.

‘They’re already welcoming me like this. ‘I don’t know what to do with myself.’

Silique. Or Randel.

I was wondering who really sent the guest.

A moment later, there was the sound of the bedroom curtains being quietly drawn.

Calian, who was looking at the intruder who was now clearly getting closer, frowned.

This was because it was the energy of someone I was familiar with but did not expect to come like this.

In the end, Calian put off making the ‘sword’ and sat up. Then he looked at the intruder with sharp, shining eyes and said:

“What is it?”

The intruder did not even cover his face.

And he wasn’t surprised that Calian had woken up. He didn’t seem to pay much attention to Calian’s words, which were full of caution. He looked into Calian’s eyes and spoke in a low voice.

“They said they could use some magic and they knew how to wake up in the wind.”

Whoever it was, there was absolutely no reason to welcome anyone who came through the window at this hour. Therefore, Calian did not bother to hide his unpleasant expression and opened his mouth.

“I asked why you came, at this hour and this way.”

One corner of the customer’s mouth twitched as he looked at Calian, who was showing hostility with his entire body, from his eyes to his voice.
