Reborn as the Enemy Prince

Chapter 71

Chapter 15. I just want to ask you one thing. (2)

A few more days have passed.

Silike’s greenhouse, which was always full of green leafy pots of Renieri, was completely empty. On the day I returned from meeting Calian and exchanging oaths, everything was broken by Silike’s anger.

After that, Silike did not come out of the room until a few days ago. For this reason, Silike’s greenhouse went for several months without being cleaned out and refilled.

Silike was walking slowly in the reception room located in the middle of the greenhouse. The maids couldn’t even dare to go near him because it felt like a cold feeling was flowing through him with every step he took.

Again.

– Click

again.

– Silike,

who was pacing around the greenhouse, folding and unfolding the fan in her hand, stopped in place and bit her lip deeply.

Gray Briesen is not coming.

It was clear that they had arrived near the capital. After that, news suddenly stopped.

The reason for Lennon’s sudden disappearance is unknown, but the possibility itself was not doubted. Since he was an ordinary person, it was not impossible for him to be kidnapped or murdered if there was a reason.

But Gray can’t do that, right?

Now Silike was not anxious because she thought something had happened to Gray. I was wondering if Gray had disappeared with some other intention in mind.

The head maid ran to Silike and said a few words.

“It is said that when Margrave Gray Briesen arrived near the capital, he was attacked by men sent by Marquis Evan Briesen. As a result, the news is spreading that the Margrave was seriously injured and returned to the Margrave Territory.”

Silike heard that and frowned and asked back.

“Father? Why?”

“I heard that he was warned to go back and never return to Kairisis again because he knows that he is trying to take away the marquisate. Now, the noble family is in an uproar over him.”

The nobles’ mouths were really fast.

The rumor that Gray, who was recovering in the capital, was attacked by Evan also spread quickly.

After all, Gray was a sword master.

What news could be more interesting than this: that such a person suffered serious injuries from his father that would make it difficult for him to recover.

Silike frowned.

After repeatedly opening and closing the fan in her hand several times, Silike’s words to herself came out.

“I thought he was going to aim for the position of marquis, so I killed him in advance. At a time like this.”

Then, as if there was something strange, Silike asked the head maid again.

“It’s not like my father went there himself, so how could anyone injure the Margrave?”

“It is said that the Margrave was already injured and was on his way to the capital. That is why he was unable to respond properly.”

Silike’s eyes sparkled after hearing the answer.

Silike bit her lip again before opening her mouth.

“no.”

Gray did not arrive injured.

It was Silike who told me to make that excuse when I came to Kairisis. After that, he said that if he helped put Planz on the throne, he would oust Marquis Evan Briesen and put Gray in his place.

– Cry!

Silike had a few assumptions in mind.

Evan Briesen, who learned of Gray’s plan, came forward and attacked.

After Gray betrayed Silike, he made an excuse and went back.

Otherwise, someone unknown attacked Gray.

Soon Silike looked at the head maid with sharply opened eyes and spoke.

“Send the healing medicine to the Margrave of Brisen. Make sure that the Margrave is really injured and is in the Margrave and who attacked him. You need to see it with your own eyes as quickly as possible.”

The head maid bowed and expressed her intention to do so.

“And find Sir Tail and bring him back immediately.”

Tail was the vice-captain of the Knights Templar Pavel, who resigned from the royal palace due to Kalian. He was also the one who swung the sword several times on behalf of Silike. He would do anything for money, so there would be no one better than him to act as a hand and foot on Gray’s behalf in an emergency.

After the head maid hurried out, Silike wandered around the greenhouse once again.

Silike was now trying to confirm all three of his assumptions. The maid who came after meeting Gray will confirm the first and second. And the third time, I was going to check it through the tail.

It reminds me of someone who is not revealed.

“Why do you keep doing this?”

Kalyan.

“......I wonder if it reminds me of you.”

Jan, who would have been really surprised to know that Calian had half-joined hands with that Planz, said this. That’s why Kalian, who heard Yan’s words in the shower room, looked embarrassed for a moment.

I had to tell him about what happened with Plantz, but I was worried about how he would react.

After taking a shower with such complicated thoughts, Kalian put on simple formal clothes. Then we moved to the banquet hall set up in Senyu Hall. Although Balkan had not been officially founded yet, it was to attend a light dinner commemorating Lemain’s announcement of its founding.

It wasn’t long before Calian entered the banquet hall and stopped for a moment because there were more focused gazes than ever before.

“Prince Calian has arrived!”

They were wizards from all over the country, and not many had seen Calian this close. So, everyone started looking at Calian with one mind and one mind.

– Are those eyes really red, like those of a Sispanian?

Thanks to this, Calian had to make eye contact with each and every wizard and greet them.

‘I’m so glad Landel and Planz didn’t come.’

Both of them, including Silike, announced their absence for good reasons. It was nice to not have to see Calian receiving this much attention.

Arsene finally approached Calian, who was laughing alone while thinking about that. He had a very tired face. Therefore, Kalian spoke with a sorry heart.

“Lord Hertz. Are you okay?”

“I don’t think it will get better soon, Prince.”

Calian smiled and opened his mouth at the honest answer.

“There will be a banquet on the founding day, so just go and rest today.”

Then Arsene’s expression brightened a little. That’s why I wanted to go home so badly, but I couldn’t.

“Thank you for your concern, but I have to go see Manasil again after dinner. Besides, if I just go home like this, I can’t even imagine what Corps Commander Manasil will say tomorrow.”

Calian, looking at that face, laughed again.

“I will convey your message to Master.”

“But...”

“Rest when you can.”

At this moment, Arsene, who felt truly grateful to Calian, politely greeted him.

“Thank you. Then, I will go first today.”

“Go in carefully. Don’t fall asleep on the way.”

Kalian, who said that, smiled unexpectedly.

Of course, Arsene didn’t recognize it. I just felt like Alan was going to chase me, so I walked quickly and got into the carriage.

It took a while to get to Arsene’s house because it had to cross the Seine River. Kalian told me not to sleep, but how can human eyelids be so freely manipulated?

– Multi-faceted, multi-faceted.

Arsene’s eyes slowly closed as he quietly listened to the regular sound of the horse’s hooves. And then I fell into a deep sleep.

After crossing the Seneu River.

Until the anxious shaking of the carriage and the urgent voice of the driver woke Arsene.

“Hertz!”

The coachman called back to Arsene, who slowly opened his eyes in a strange feeling.

“Wake up!”

Only then did Arsene come to his senses and hurriedly get up.

With that, the carriage shook violently.

– Boom!

Arsene’s eyes, which had always been calm, shone coldly.

Arsene opened the door of the still running carriage.

The carriage was running frantically, several times faster than usual. Unfamiliar scenery passed by quickly.

Instead of being taken aback by this sudden situation, Arsene looked to a place that seemed suitable and shouted at the coachman.

“Keep running and run away!”

And he used his magic quickly.

[Teleportation]

At the same time, Arsene’s body disappeared from the carriage and appeared exactly where he had seen it a moment ago.

Arsene moved from the moving carriage to the floor and immediately created a shield to protect his body. Then, several horses that seemed to have followed the carriage surrounded Arsene.

All blades shining in the moonlight were pointed at Arsene.

Arsene, who realized that what he had suspected was correct, opened his mouth in a calm voice.

“Nice to meet you.”

He is only twenty-eight years old and a 5th circle master wizard who has studied only fast and efficient anti-personnel attack magic and can create ice spears faster than lightning.

“Vice-commander of the Vulcan Magic Division. My name is Arsene Hertz.”

Arsene Hertz’s ice shot out with a cold glow.
