Reborn as the Enemy Prince

Chapter 1. This is such a stupid life. (2)

Planz didn’t even change his clothes.

Bare skin was visible beneath the loose top. No matter what country it is, the royal family should never be seen like that.

The good news was that I was so surprised by this extremely rude behavior that I didn’t make the mistake of sticking the knife into Plantz’s neck.

Calian let out a short sigh, being careful not to make it obvious.

Randel frowned slightly at Plantz’s behavior. But then he turned his head away as if he hadn’t seen anything. Kalian did not miss Randel’s appearance.

‘Prince 1 cannot touch Prince 2.’

It was worth knowing why.

The three princes were all half-brothers, and the current Queen Sillike was the mother of the second prince, Planz. Therefore, no matter how much Randel was the first prince, he could not act as Plantz’s superior.

‘The power of the queen’s family was truly great.’

While they thought this and clicked their tongues silently, well-cooked food began to be placed in front of them one by one.

Fragrant soup and fragrant baked bread. Scrambled eggs and thinly sliced ham perfect for breakfast. There are salads full of fresh vegetables and various types of fruits.

Could there be any better diet than this for Bern, which was suffering from a sudden war? So, if I were alone, I would have eaten everything.

But I couldn’t touch the food.

The first reason was because I was worried about Chase, and the second reason was having my enemy, Plantz, in front of me. The cold atmosphere in this restaurant also played a role.

‘There is no such thing as thin ice.’

The three princes of Kairis were clearly brothers, but they did not have any conversation here. Even though they were half-brothers, that alone could not be the reason for this silence.

This is because Chase and Vern were also half-brothers.

Nevertheless, the two were so laughing and chatting that the chef often had to reheat their food. The voice of Chase, who always looked after Verne, lingered in my ears.

– I want to become a knight. Just from what I hear, you are trustworthy.

– Bern. Don’t worry. Don’t worry.

I desperately thought of my older brother Chase, the king of Secretia and for whom it would be worth giving up his life.

But here, I wouldn’t be able to ask anyone for news about him. Because of this, I was even more worried and missed it. I wanted to rush over and meet him right away.

At the end of those thoughts, his anger toward Plants rose again, and Calian reluctantly picked up his glass of water and emptied it all in one go. Then a voice full of ridicule was heard.

“To be frivolous.”

Of course. It was Plantz’s voice.

I saw the face of a man dressed in clothes that I couldn’t tell whether he was dressed or undressed. Plantz lifted one side of his lip and added.

“He takes after his mother, so I can’t find any dignity in him.”

It was a sarcastic comment about Kalian’s mother, who was a commoner.

In the end, Calian’s eyes turned cold.

Plantz looked into Calian’s red eyes filled with unrestrained hatred. Planz’s eyes turned sharp in an instant.

Even in this situation, Randel was concentrating on his meal without even looking at the two.

Isn’t he truly a perfect bystander?

Calian turned his head and looked at Randel. He still had the same look in his eyes.

at that time.

A threatening voice flowed from Planz’s mouth.

“How dare you……”

Calian’s eyes turned to Plantz again.

Their eyes met, and no one looked away first. Only at that point did Randel open his mouth in a quiet voice.

“Stop it.”

Plantz spoke without removing his gaze from Calian.

“I’ve lost my appetite because of my unlucky eyes. I’ll go first.”

Randel’s permission was not given.

Nevertheless, Plantz got up from his seat and went straight outside.

It’s actually a good thing. Kalian’s patience wasn’t high enough to be okay with facing him for a long time.

“Be careful how you behave. The celebration of His Majesty’s birthday is just around the corner.”

However, a voice was heard that was reducing Calian’s patience.

It was Randel who said this with a dry expression. He didn’t even pay attention to Calian.

‘Are you saying it’s me that’s the problem? What about the guy who just left?’

Those words were so shocking that Calian laughed.

If it weren’t for the absurd situation of waking up in a different body the day after his death, Calian certainly wouldn’t have endured it.

Naturally, Randel did not know how hard his younger brother, who was also here, was trying to hide his murderous intentions. Therefore, Randel stood up and walked out without even thinking about looking at Calian’s reaction.

“Because you don’t let a single day pass by…”

I heard Jan, who was standing behind me, muttering to himself.

Calian leaned back in his chair and took a long breath to calm his anger. It must have been the sad sigh of the youngest child being abused, and I could feel Yan’s sadness behind me.

Soon Kalyan stood up without a sound.

Yan came straight over, took out the chair, and began to carefully organize the disheveled clothes. Even though I see him being ignored like this every day, his hand is very careful and polite. Calian clearly saw that the other two princes’ attendants did not put in this much effort.

I saw deep fingernail marks on Jan’s palms.

In fact, Jan’s eyes were more distorted than Calian’s. Seeing this appearance of the attendant, who was a little older than Calian, my boiling heart slowly calmed down.

“thank you.”

Yan’s eyes widened as he looked at Calian in surprise at those words. This is because Calian was neither crying nor had a gloomy expression.

That wasn’t all.

There was even a small smile on his face.

Before I could decide how to respond to the gratitude I received from Kalian for the first time in my life, Kalian continued.

“What’s next?”

“We have a class on the War of the Two Gods in an hour.”

“Until then, I’ll be alone for a bit.”

Yan replied with a worried face.

The memories that the original Calian had did their job faithfully. Thanks to this, Kalian was able to get out of the building and onto the walking path next to the artificial lake without any hesitation.

There was no one else. There are only Kalian and Yan, who is following Kalian at a distance.

“under.”

Calian walked to the lakeside and let out the breath he had been holding as he looked at the water beneath his feet. Calian’s eyes saw a small statue placed in the middle of the lake.

A black dragon spreading its wings towards the sky. The dragon’s eyes were studded with red jewels.

‘Is it Sispanian?’

This is a statue of the ancient dragon Sispanian, who was also the first queen of Kairis.

I remembered that she had hair as black as the silent night and red eyes that filled with sacred fire.

Black hair and red eyes. It was the same for Calian.

‘Unlucky, bloody eyes.’

Plantz’s voice came to mind again.

As my body grows younger, does my mind also become softer? Calian laughed at himself just recalling those words.

Bern was a knight and king who stood alone in front of the castle gate and died while holding on. Just yesterday, after roughly stopping the bleeding on his severed arm, he swung his sword with countless arrows stuck all over his body.

I shouldn’t lose my temper.

What is urgent right now is not whether to kill or save the plant in front of you. Because we need to first look into how this happened.

So Calian lowered his eyes for a moment and took in the thoughts that filled his head. And then, as I gathered myself again, I remembered what I thought might have been the cause of this.

‘……The axis of time.’

axis of time.

One day, he suddenly appeared at the Secretia royal palace. It looks like a large hourglass and is said to have the power to turn back time just once.

The axis of time was probably the cause of this. The war between Secretia and Kyris also broke out due to the time axis.

Before the war began, an axis of time was requested in Kyris. Secretia rejected it. Because it was clear that it was a dangerous item, King Chase took a strong stance against it. Would a crazy plant know what it would be used for and give it away?

Therefore, when I expressed my intention to refuse, the large army attacked as if they had been waiting for me.

Let alone negotiations, even the declaration of war was skipped.

Plantz was extraordinary, even down to the size of his concept.

In the war that began like that, Secretia was eventually defeated. The result is what it looks like now.

‘You must have watched my death.’

Chase would have seen Bern, the last living knight, die in the end. Therefore, Calian thought that Chase had turned back time. I didn’t know the result would turn out this way, but I thought Chase would have tried to save Bern.

Calian spoke softly as if he was lamenting.

“If the cause is the axis of time… then there is no way to go back.”

Because the axis of time was an item that could only be used once. If time had already been warped, there was no way to go back to how it was before.

Calian muttered for a moment, wondering what he should do.

If this is not really a dream and what I just remembered is true, then this is definitely the second life I have been given.

I couldn’t waste the opportunity Chase gave me. Because of this, Kalian changed the direction of his thoughts from thinking about returning to living. First of all, you have to live to find another way.

Calian fell into thought again.

* * *

14-year-old Kalian dies soon after.

After his failed attempt to poison Queen Silike, he hanged himself out of fear of punishment.

Of course, no one believed that to be true.

Therefore, all the stories that were spread as ‘suicide’ were filtered out as ‘assassination’. This was because Silike was a great man who could easily kill Calian.

Freya.

It was because of something related to Kalian’s biological mother.

Concubine Freya was famous for her beautiful appearance, but she was from a commoner background. She was favored by the king and gave birth to Kalyan, but died not long after from ‘aftereffects of childbirth.’

After drinking the tea sent by the queen, she vomited black, bubbling blood and died after giving birth.

This is how Kalian lost his mother.

So it was inconceivable that Calian would have a helper. It makes no sense that a prince, who would have had difficulty finding even common poisonous plants, would try to kill a queen who had greater power than the king.

Moreover, it is said that Calian has been despised by Queen Silike and the second prince, Planz, ever since his birth. The old Calian who grew up in these conditions would not have been able to breathe properly.

Even if it is a wild animal, if it is raised with milk from its infancy, it will lick its owner’s feet and show its belly. Therefore, Calian must have grown up so weak that he could not even imagine killing someone.

Calian smiled bitterly.

“I just didn’t want to see it so I got rid of it.”

I heard that Calian looks just like Freya except for the hair color.

The queen probably didn’t want to be reminded of the dead Freyja on Calian’s face. Therefore, he must have murdered Calian and made up a story, and the king would have condoned it.

This is because the queen controlled all three of the royal guards, except for one knightly order directly under the king.

Kalian is said to have died two or three months before he turned 15.

“I said my 15th birthday would be in four months… Someone will come to kill me soon.”

There are one to two months left until Calian faces his fake death by ‘hanging himself.’

Calian’s red eyes reflected in the water gave off a sharp light.

He died beautifully in their hands. Because I had no intention of giving it away.
