Reborn as the Enemy Prince

Chapter 4. Until you have the right hand (1)

Seigne River.

It was a river that flowed through Kairisis, the capital city of Kairis. This river, which is also used as the name of the royal palace building, flows diagonally through Kairisis. The royal palace was located in the center of the area northeast of the river, and the royal road leading from outside the main gate of the outer castle, southwest of Kyrisis, crossed the Seneu River to the royal palace of Kairis.

After Sispanian left after Hatsuara’s death.

It was the royal capital construction project that revived the stagnant nation. The royal road was such an important facility in Kairis that it is said that Kairis experienced a revival thanks to this wide road that leads straight to major cities.

– Tap, tap, tap…!

On the royal road, two carriages, each painted white and black, were heading toward the royal palace.

The carriages running side by side all boasted an extremely luxurious appearance. Both had large glass windows on shiny exterior walls coated with pearl powder.

The only difference was that one was decorated with gold leaf on a white background, and the other was decorated with mother-of-pearl on a black background.

However, mother-of-pearl was quite rare in Kairis. This is because Kairis occupied a large part of the continent, but the only thing it did not have was the sea. Pearls were not difficult to obtain because they were cultivated in fresh water, but this was not the case for golden clams, which are used as a material for mother-of-pearl. Therefore, Kairis is the place where it is said that mother-of-pearl is more expensive than gold.

Since it was clearly visible that the huge carriage was decorated with mother-of-pearl, I couldn’t stop looking at the black carriage. As a result, the occupants of the white carriage running side by side on the right were quite uncomfortable. The person in the carriage clicked his tongue as he looked at the black carriage outside the window.

“Look at that. It’s literally a pile of money rolling around. Isn’t the luxury too much?”

Then the butler sitting in the coach seat heard the sound through the window connected to the coach seat and thought.

‘You say that because you think gold leaf is cheap? Besides, is now the time to discuss luxury while looking at others?’

The owner of the carriage would not have thought this if it had not been loaded with shoes encrusted with the highest quality diamonds brought in from Tensil.

The exterior wall of the white carriage had a pattern of a griffin holding a sharp sword drawn on it. It belonged to the Marquis of Briesen, a member of Queen Silike’s family. And the person riding in the carriage was Lennon Briesen, the second son of the Marquess of Briesen and the owner of the Briesen Merchants.

“Is it okay for the carriage owner to be Siegfried? No. There’s no way elephants this big would do something like that.”

The Elephants of Kairis.

It was referring to Siegfried. Although it has never once coveted the throne for a long time, its power is so great that even wild beasts cannot touch it, so it is called that because it is a herbivore.

Lennon, who could not find an answer as there was no family other than Siegfried that was considered worthy of riding such a carriage, could not hold back his curiosity and spoke again.

“What kind of person would spend that much money on a carriage?”

The butler answered cautiously through the window.

“I saw it coming from Teinansha Street a little while ago. However, the emblem is on the opposite side, so I don’t know exactly which family’s carriage it belongs to…” “

Teinansha Street?”

“Yes. This is where wizards gather.”

Lennon frowned and responded to the butler’s kind explanation.

“I guess I asked because I didn’t know. Why are you so clueless?”

Lennon, who had shocked the butler with words that would have made Silique or Calian laugh if they had heard him, pulled back the curtain again and looked into the black carriage. However, thick curtains were drawn on the windows of the black carriage, so there was no way to tell who was riding.

“Is there anyone among wizards with such wealth?”

“Shall we look at the family crest on the other side?”

“Yes. Do that.”

The butler who heard the words gave instructions to the coachman.

Soon Lennon’s white carriage slowed down and fell behind, then sped up again to catch up on the other side of the black carriage. Lennon quickly moved his hand and opened the window curtain.

Little by little, the sentences engraved on the wall began to come into view. Lennon frowned and muttered.

“That sentence is complicated. What is that, a flower? Flowers, one by one…”

The carriage moved a little further forward so that he could see the sentence clearly, and only then did Lennon, who confirmed the sentence correctly, close his eyes hard. I rubbed it. Then he made a mumbling sound as if he couldn’t believe it.

“Did I see something wrong just now…?”

“Seven red flowers and a silver wand, Viscount Briesen.”

“Do I not know that? Shut up!”

Seven red flowers and a silver wand!

“What’s going on? Huh… I’m going crazy. There’s chaos. How can he be here in Kairis? Why is he going to the palace?”

I didn’t know which house that sentence belonged to, and since I was told to keep my mouth shut, the butler just stared ahead with his eyes twitching.

The two carriages also passed through Einansha Street, where nobles lived. Therefore, other nobles other than Lennon were able to hear about this expensive black mother-of-pearl carriage heading to the royal palace.

“It looked like a vine with red flowers wrapped around a silver staff?”

“Yes. That kind of symbol was engraved on it.”

After hearing the shape of the coat of arms carved on the exterior wall of the carriage, the nobles asked their respective servants: After that, I received a confident answer that it was definitely a sentence that looked like that.

After waving their hands, the nobles all said this.

“You must have seen it wrong.”

Oh no way.

“That Alan Manasil couldn’t have been here.”

After that, they smiled leisurely, dropped everything they were doing, and prepared to go to the palace.

Third day of the festival. 9:30 am.

Arriving at the royal palace amidst the eyes and attention of many people, Alan proudly entered the open door of the palace, showing the invitation he received from the king. There was no longer any need to check whether the threshold of a closed door was high or low.

Alan’s emblem engraved on the exterior wall of the black mother-of-pearl carriage was clearly visible from a distance. Accordingly, the Chamberlain quickly informed Lemain, who was heading to his office after meeting the nobles who had come to greet him in the morning, about who was now at the palace.

“Your Highness. I heard that Alan Manasil came to the palace a little while ago.”

LeMaine stopped.

Alan Manasil. There are only three 7th circle wizards on the continent.

However, unlike the other two, he is an arrogant and talented person who has not settled in any country.

Lemain also knew the power of his name. Calian’s words that he would be a candidate for succession to the throne if he got Alan were not an exaggeration.

Lemain, who did not waste even 5 minutes of his time on the princes as he had not enough time to run a huge country that occupies half of the continent, immediately answered:

“Please guide me straight to the office.”

Thanks to this, Alan was able to come straight to Arpia Palace where Lemain was located in his luxurious carriage without having to transfer to the palace’s small carriage.

9:30 as intended.

Coincidentally, there were many nobles in front of Arpia Palace at that time.

Thanks to the delayed schedule during the festival, royal affairs officials leisurely arrived at the coffin being carried to work, foreign affairs officials and envoys returning to the Rubia coffin after lunch, and even nobles coming out after meeting with the king.

“Isn’t that Alan Manasil’s coat of arms?”

“Huh… I heard the contract with Rivern is over.”

Many of the nobles who had gathered in this way saw with their own eyes the black mother-of-pearl carriage that would bring trouble to Kairis, stopping silently.

“But how did you come to Kairis? Staying in Rivern should be comfortable both physically and mentally.”

“Is it possible that I would have felt comfortable after something like that? If it weren’t for my relationship with King Riverne, I probably would have left a long time ago.”

“Hmm? Oh, right. I didn’t even think of it…”

The carriage door opened.

Those who were discussing the purpose of Alan’s visit to Kairis behind the scenes suddenly became quiet.

As if waiting for everyone to quiet down, a wizard slowly came out. When his unique hair color, which started from silver and ended with red, was revealed in the sunlight, the mouths of the nobles dropped as they confirmed that he was indeed Alan Manasil.

Alan got off the carriage and leisurely looked around.

The red robe worn ostentatiously in place of the rags worn on the first day had a pattern symbolizing the 7th circle embroidered with gold thread. His sharp eyes shone coldly, and his thin lips held a haughty smile.

A middle-aged man approached him and gave him a polite greeting.

“Welcome, Lord Manasil. I am Raoul Hardt, the Chamberlain who serves His Majesty the King. Your Majesty is waiting for you, so I will serve you right away.”

Since Lemain’s intention in sending the chamberlain himself was clear, the nobles were agitated again. Of course, Alan received this level of hospitality wherever he went, so he nodded with a familiar expression and entered the palace.

“Are you really thinking about coming to Kairis?”

“If not, what could be the reason? Could it be that Alan Manasil of the world came to celebrate the birthday of His Majesty King Kairis?”

All kinds of thoughts filled the minds of the nobles.

It’s natural.

Alan Manasil has come to Lemain, who is living under the pressure of Silike, so he is paying close attention to what will happen in the future.

“Please come this way.”

Meanwhile, when he entered the hallway and saw no one else, a small twitch occurred at the corner of Alan’s mouth as he stared at the back of Raoul’s head.

This is because the image of my new student with a bright smile came to mind.

‘Please come exactly at 9:30. Of course, you must come through the ‘open door’ this time.’

Thanks to this, Alan put on the burdensome clothes made by the Wizards’ Association but had never worn before and climbed into the huge carriage that the King of Riverne had given him as a farewell gift. I found the royal palace through that wide open door.

As Calian had intended, Alan arrived at the time when many nobles were gathered near Arfia Palace and smiled quietly.

‘Your disciple thought you would publicize it very widely that you brought me in.’

Soon the door to Lemain’s office opened and Alan entered.

Lemain was sitting on the reception sofa in the office with nothing in his hand. Alan greeted Lemain with the same expression and voice he had given Calian.

“This is Alan Manasil.”

Lemain nodded slightly and received Alan’s greeting.

Although Alan looked very young, I already knew that he was actually much older than Lemain himself, so I was not as surprised as Calian.

“Okay. Come sit down.”

Lemain slightly raised his hand and pointed to the sofa across from him, and without hesitation, Alan walked over and sat down in front of Lemain. While Lemain looked at Alan with deep eyes and took a moment to organize what he had to say, Alan picked up his own cup of tea and took a sip.

“I heard about the first day. Apologize on my behalf.”

“It’s a story from the first day…”

Alan, who was muttering to himself, smiled softly and asked.

“What story are you apologizing for?”

Lemain narrowed his eyes.

This is because the meaning behind Alan’s words was not soft.

All that happened in the palace was that the garrison was rude. So, of course, I thought he would understand it as an apology. But Alan was asking what the story was about. He was curious about how much Lemain knew about the matter.

“I only heard that I didn’t know why you came. I didn’t hear anything from the three princes.”

As Duke Slayman expected, Lemain did not ask Calian anything. No, I have to say that I couldn’t ask anything exactly. So Lemain knew nothing other than that Calian had chased after Alan, who was angry with the garrison and was leaving.

“Then let me tell you that it is nothing for you to apologize for. The conversation was enjoyable and I was explained what happened at the front gate. Of course, it would be more correct to say that I was scolded for not making a fuss rather than saying that I heard the explanation, but it ended well anyway.”

There was a doubt in Lemain’s eyes.

I was thinking about whether it was true that I had just heard that Calian had scolded Alan. Before Lemain could ask anything about this, Alan continued.

“Your Highness, is there a house in Kairis where I can stay?”

LeMaine’s mind was confused by the main point that jumped out immediately without explanation.
