Reborn as the Enemy Prince

Chapter 5. This is too blatant (3)

Calian put his hand away and raised his head.

He had a stern face trying to hold back his anger.

It’s natural. Isn’t Kalian the person who should be most angry here?

Of course, it was an expression created for the attention of those around him. In fact, Calian’s true feelings are quite the opposite. I felt like I wanted to bow to Plantz’s tongue right now.

‘There are times when you can be helpful, Plants!’

Calian looked at Lemain.

What Calian wanted from Lemain now was not to get angry and punish Planz.

On the contrary, he hoped that Lemain would do nothing. That will bring the greatest benefit.

As if he had read Calian’s wishes, Lemain did nothing.

He did not scold Planz, planned future punishment, or looked at him with contempt. Without saying a word, I just looked forward again and nodded towards the chamberlain to indicate that it was okay to start part 2.

Silike saw that and bit her lip.

Right now, Lemain had shown himself that he had no expectations of Plants and that he would continue to do so in the future.

Calian once again smiled secretly.

‘Silike. ‘How far will my feet get bitten?’

I thought Silike would definitely try to diffuse this situation. Calian had high expectations of what it would be like.

The fan in Silike’s hand broke with a clanging sound.

‘Stupid… even though you said that!’

Lemain knew well that Plants was not behaving well.

There was no way he wouldn’t have known, as a ban on drinking had been imposed on Plantz for going out drinking in the square. So I could somehow get over criticizing Kalian. That’s just the way it is.

However, making insulting remarks about the origins of his dead concubine Freya in public, and doing so in front of Lemaine, who cared for Freya dearly, was an act that crossed the line.

‘Planz.’

Silike’s eyes turned to Planz.

It wasn’t Plants who didn’t know what he had done. I wasn’t raised that way.

Silike made eye contact with Planz, and goosebumps appeared on his arms.

Right now, Plantz didn’t look embarrassed or regretful.

‘…You did it on purpose.’

One corner of Planz’s mouth turned up slightly.

It was only then that I realized that he had done that on purpose. It was clear that he had shown this behavior in response to a few words he had said to Plantz before coming here.

Silike’s silent cry was directed at Plantz.

‘Why Planz today!’

Alan Manasil came to the palace.

Calian’s name was included in the list of candidates for crown prince coming out of the nobles’ mouths. On the same day, Plantz made an irreversible mistake.

There was no need to consider what the nobles, who were just steps into Brisen’s territory, were thinking and deciding.

Silike bit her lip once again and turned her head to look ahead. The second part of the performance was going on for a while, but no one in the special room was watching it. Silike to solve this situation and Calian to take advantage of this situation. I desperately continued the chain of thoughts.

And that time.

Melfir sighed after discovering something.

“Huh.”

It was both a sigh of relief and a sigh of surprise. In front of him was a half-cut rope.

“If this fell on your head…!”

Just thinking about it makes my throat feel tight.

Melfir hurriedly began to take measures to prevent the rope from getting further damaged. After that, we set up tight security to prevent anyone from approaching until the end of the performance.

Fallun sighed and suddenly turned his head and looked down.

The black-haired prince who helped prevent this and thus saved Melfir’s life was sitting with an undisturbed look.

I remembered again the expression Calian made when I believed his words and gave up the seat next to Lemain.

The youngest prince clearly had the look on his face like a teacher looking at a student who had solved a problem well.

And after that, it seemed like he didn’t care about this place at all. There was no sign of Melfir being anxious about whether he could understand what he was saying and solve the problem.

‘Even if I get through today without incident, I don’t think the prince will come looking for me.’

I got the feeling that he didn’t save his life because he wanted something in return. Melphyr, a merchant to his core, had never made a transaction that did not require compensation.

“Huh…”

Melfir made the same sound again and swallowed dry saliva.

* * *

The performances are all over.

The pollen did not fall.

‘I guess I solved it well.’

Still, just in case, Calian stood up and talked to Yan to kill time.

Randel and Planz went down first and then got out of there. As expected, no accident occurred.

When I came down the stairs, Melfir was waiting.

Lemain looked at him and said.

“It was a good time.”

Lemain said nothing about Melfir not staying by his side. Rather, he thought it was fortunate that no other nobles saw Plantz’s actions directly.

“I’m glad you were satisfied, Your Highness.”

Melfir showed humility.

Meanwhile, Calian looked at Silike, who was looking at Melfir instead of Melfir. There was a small question in Calian’s eyes, but it wasn’t obvious enough for anyone to notice.

‘There is no response from Silike.’

okay. Plantz did do the work.

But apart from that, if there wasn’t an accident that should have happened today, I wouldn’t have passed it by. He wasn’t stupid enough to forget about the other things because of Plantz.

‘It’s a face that doesn’t care about accidents at all.’

Right now, Silike was not even listening to Melfir’s greeting.

‘Even Silike doesn’t know. So that means Lennon did it alone.’

My mind becomes complicated again.

“Then I’ll see you back at the ball.”

Melfir said this and looked at the three princes.

The words were specifically directed at Calian, but Calian received the greeting without any response and came out and climbed on Raven’s back.

‘Randel Briesen Top Fallon Top. What is the correlation? Could it be that Tensil has something to do with it?’

Bern had never even paid attention to the sacred nation of Tensil next to Kairis. I didn’t know exactly what happened during this time.

Thanks to this, Calian frowned and began to groan as he tried to figure out what had happened in Tensil during this time.

‘If it is related to the top, it is an object. If you’re trying to make a profit by messing with the royal family, it’s probably not worth the normal price… Ah!’

Items that are not of ordinary value.

When I thought about it that far, I finally came up with an answer.

A knowing yet unknown smile appeared at the corner of Calian’s mouth.

‘Diamond. It’s a diamond mine.’

After finding the hidden word, all the puzzles were correct.

I remembered a short conversation I had with Chase back in Bern. I remembered talking about the news of the accident.

– It seems like child’s play, too young to call it terrorism.

– Do you think it was simply terrorism against the royal family?

– They said the prince was hurt. Is there anything else, bro?

– well. Where are you going to think about it?

Too blatant and simple thinking.

It was a foolish accident, as if they were planning to expose the fact that they were targeting the royal family.

‘There is no way that priests of a sacred country would buy diamonds often. Most people would have tried to sell it as Kyris. At the top of Tensil, Randel must have noticed what he was thinking about, so he would have preferred Fallun over Brisen.’

It wasn’t until Calian that he discovered the cause of the problem, which Chase immediately thought of.

‘Brisen framed Fallun in order to take over the diamond trade. Anyway, other than Polun, there is no large merchant that can do such a transaction.’

The reason why Randel was touched also became clear.

‘If Randel gets hurt, King Tensil will intervene and they may have hoped that it will end quickly before any questions are raised. Lennon is unexpectedly a bit of a nerd.’

After finishing cleaning up, Calian turned his eyes to look at Melfir.

Melphyr wanted to meet Calian right away, but he couldn’t do it as he wanted. Now that I’ve figured out how valuable the problem was, I’ve changed my mind to get a fair price for Melfir’s life.

“Tell the event manager that you won’t be going to the prom today.”

Jan was startled by Kalian’s small voice and looked at Kalian. And looking at Calian’s sad face, who seemed to be greatly shocked by Plants, he let out a sad sigh.

“Okay, I will.”

“sorry.”

“No, prince.”

Kalian had no idea how much remorse he felt when he saw Yan shaking his head with a more gloomy face than himself.

* * *

Lemain, who was sitting at his desk after returning from the performance, stared blankly at the visitor. He then took off the glasses he was wearing and put them down on the desk.

“Surprisingly.”

The person who found Lemain stood in silence for a moment and then walked to the sofa. The sound of shoes clicking again echoed in the quiet office. Lemain was staring at that figure in silence.

After a while, Lemain stood up. And I opened the window as if chasing the scent of Renier filling the office.

By the time I opened all the windows in my office.

– smart.

With a knock on the door, the chamberlain entered carrying a tray full of tea. Then Lemain moved his hand slightly and said.

“Not required.”

The corners of Silike’s eyes trembled.

Isn’t this being treated as a completely uninvited guest?

Lemain, who had sent the chamberlain away, slowly walked over and sat down in front of Silike. There was no emotion in the eyes.

In fact, it was something Sillike was already familiar with.

It’s been like that ever since Freya died.

“What’s going on?”

Lemain opened his mouth to Silike. It was an emotionless voice that perfectly matched those eyes.

“I’m young, so forgive me for my mistakes. Briesen will take the punishment.”

Silike clenched her molars.

This is because he never thought he would say these words to Lemain.

Lemain raised an eyebrow.

No matter what Plants did up to now, he had never come to visit me in person like this. Silike had never even said such a thing. This was a pretty big mistake, but in the past I wouldn’t have bowed down like this.

“Forgive. What should I forgive?”

Of course, Lemain knew the reason for Silique’s change in attitude.

Kalyan.

To be exact, it would be because of Calian, who carried Alan Manasil on his back.

When I thought of Calian, I also remembered what Silike, who was sitting in front of me, was doing right now. I also thought I could understand why Briseen was so willing to take responsibility.

‘I guess it’s more important to tie down the nobles so they don’t turn away from Plantz right now. That way, nobles who have nowhere to go after Calian disappears won’t go to Randel.’

No matter what he loses in the name of punishment, he is confident that he will get it back after Calian dies.

– Until now, just pretend you don’t know anything.

Lemain recalled Alan’s words and smiled slightly. I laughed, trying to resist the urge to twist the thin neck of the Silike sitting in front of me.

‘Did you laugh?’

Silike, who had no idea what he was thinking, looked slightly surprised.

During that time, Lemain never showed emotion in front of others. But such blatant laughter.

Silike tightened his grip on the new fan and Lemain spoke.

“Okay. What do you plan on receiving as punishment?”

Of course, there was no way the royal knights would be defeated.

Because it’s not so desperate that you give up on it. Silike, who had recovered from her shock, opened her mouth. It was just as LeMaine expected.

“It was an impressive performance, so I think it would be good to give an award.”

“iced coffee.”

It was truly an impressive performance.

Silike’s words meant that he would give up some of Brissen’s commercial territory to the top of Fallun. Lemain would just have to set the scope of the concession according to the size of the forgiveness, and the Brissen family would accept it.

“It would be best for Plantz to come in with me today.”

The deal was accepted.

Because Calian won’t die anyway.
