Reborn as the Enemy Prince

Chapter 6. No bad intentions (5)

Calian was staring ahead without saying a word. Of course, I didn’t take off the hood.

Behind Kalian, four men with swords were standing blocking the door. And in front of it was a table made of iron, and the man sitting across from it was holding something in his hand and looking at it. These were the certificates Kalyan had presented so far.

“You can earn over 6,000 florins with just 3 florins. That’s amazing.”

Calian did not answer. The man shrugged and put down the certificates, as if he wasn’t particularly hoping for an answer.

It was obvious why the man called Calian like this. The amount has become too large. Since he would have to incur a huge loss to get all that money out, Kalyan, who thought he would probably come up with an appropriate negotiation or threat, followed without hesitation.

“No matter how much we run a gambling house, we also have commercial interests. I will give you the money.”

The man who said that tapped the table with his lightly clenched fist. Then the person behind the man placed a pocket on the table.

Surprisingly, when he obediently handed over the money, Calian looked at the man with a questioning look. You couldn’t see his expression because it was covered by the hood, but the man who saw his head moving said with a grin.

“Ah. But why did you call me?”

The man opened his money bag and showed it to Kalian. It seemed as if the gold coin was asking to confirm what it had heard, but Calian did not turn his gaze in that direction.

“I’m a little worried about giving such a large amount of money to a child.”

Before I knew it, the tone of speech had changed.

It seemed like someone had probably heard someone yelling at Kyrie.

Anyway, what they are saying is, ‘I will give you money, but I can’t give it to you now. ‘Come when you grow up.’ This is what it means. The person who had just put down the money bag let out a giggling sound, as if there was some order that someone had planned.

Calian, who stared at the scene for a moment, finally opened his mouth.

“I know it’s a lot of money.”

The only thing barely visible under the hood was his lips. Those lips were smiling. It was clearly a boy’s voice, but he didn’t seem embarrassed or surprised.

Calian moved his head slightly and spoke in a disappointed voice.

“Still, I thought you would at least negotiate.”

Instead of answering, the man pointed at Calian’s head.

“For now, take off that stuffy hat, kid.”

Calian raised his hand and gently grasped the tip of his hat.

Then, he pressed a little deeper and answered briefly.

“no.”

“You have to look people in the eye and talk to them, don’t you?”

Considering that he had quite a bit of money, I thought he was probably not a commoner. However, seeing as they came without an escort, they couldn’t have been from a very high-ranking family. Because of that confidence, men act without hesitation.

“If you take this off.”

The corners of Calian’s lips twisted upward. It was a laugh that Plantz learned from and was very adept at breaking people’s hearts.

“Something difficult is happening. Really.”

A laugh that closely resembled Plantz’s had an excellent effect. The man swore and gestured his chin at the person behind him. The man who had taken out the money bag walked towards Calian and reached out to grab his hood.

At the same time, Kalian also moved.

– Hiss!

Calian raised his left hand to hold the end of the hood that was about to be removed and pulled out the knife that was in his hand. Then, he stood up, turned around, and lowered the back of the hand of the person holding the hood.

“Ugh!”

When the man grabbed his hand and started screaming, Calian had already sat down again.

“What the hell!”

It happened in an instant.

Calian’s condition was excellent, so he was able to move this much even with his thin and twisted body. Of course, it would only be for a short time and once or twice, but it didn’t matter.

At the screams of their colleagues, the four people blocking the door drew their swords.

Then, a terrifying energy came out of Calian.

A dark murderous atmosphere filled with clear murderous intent filled the surroundings.

The man couldn’t speak. Cold sweat ran down my back. He also had to deal with the knights’ lives, but it was clearly different. The situation was no different for the men around Kalian. Without realizing it, the tip of the knife was shaking.

People who have lived in places like this are quick-witted.

This is different from a knight who fights his sword to the end without sacrificing himself. I knew that once I realized my superiority in strength, I would not attack any more.

“It’s not fun to look down on people because of their age. Don’t be curious about their faces. Put a knife in them and get rid of the noisy kid. Negotiate first, threaten later.”

Even though the person behind him with his hand cut off in half was screaming, the voice of Calian, who was sitting in front, was very calm.

“I hope you understand. Do it again from the beginning.”

The lingering blood that had been blooming subsided as if it had been washed away, and Calian smiled brightly. Seeing that smile gave me goosebumps. Because only the mouth is visible because of the hood, it is even more brutal.

‘shit! ‘I brought in a crazy guy who uses a sword!’

Will I be able to win if I call in my subordinates from outside? The man quickly used his brain to gauge the difference in strength.

‘The movement is fast. There’s no way those slow-witted guys can keep up with that speed. Besides, he’s spewing out such deadly force, but half of the time, he can’t even draw a sword properly and is ready to fight.’

The result of the calculation was simple. I came to the conclusion that it was better to just have the money taken than to fight for no reason and see blood and money being taken away.

Without even trying the sword directly, you withdraw because you are worried that you will lose. It was just as Calian had thought.

‘If you give me all the money, I’ll be dead too. ‘What is it?’

There were circumstances for men too.

Although I took out all that money to pretend to be strong, it would have been really difficult if that large amount of money had been taken out all at once. There would be setbacks in immediate business, and the payment was not enough.

Still, since Calian talked about negotiation, the man decided to believe it and try to negotiate.

“It is difficult to give money all at once. If you tell me where you are staying, I will send you money in installments every week.”

– Crack!

The tip of Calian’s knife scratched the iron desk. A creepy sound rang out. Kalian said.

“The kid who’s noisy with knives.”

The man, recalling what Calian had said a moment ago, gestured. The swords in the four hands returned to their sheaths, and two of them ran away, taking the screaming person with them.

The man opened his mouth again.

“Are you okay? Now, if you tell me where you are staying…”

– Crack!

That means that is not the correct answer.

The man gritted his teeth.

“Yes, actually, it is difficult to give that money all at once. We also have to raise the payment every week…!”

Calian lifted the knife and put it to his lips, as if telling him to be quiet. The quiet voice continued again.

“Don’t say anything that would be bothersome to know.”

“I don’t have any money to give you, so what should I do?”

The man made a loud noise without realizing it. Then he made a dying voice.

“No. That’s not what I’m saying… I just want you to tell me what you want.”

Calian tapped the desk with the tip of his knife.

“I won’t take any money.”

It was the most welcome sound I’ve ever heard. The man’s face lit up. But Calian’s words were not over. The man continued to say things that seemed like a lightning strike.

“Give me someone instead. Monster eyeball.”

“No, that’s…!”

– Crack!

“Oh really!”

The man frowned momentarily. The unreasonable demands resulted in a bad situation. I thought, if you’re going to give it a try, give it a try.

Kalyan also noticed a change in the man’s mood.

If you give him just a little more time, a fight will break out, and then you’ll find out that he’s just a kid with nothing special to do. So, don’t give yourself time to think.

Calian gritted his molars.

“He’s just started making money, and the Master…!”

The man who said that silently closed his mouth.

This was because I heard Calian’s knife, which was not even a sword, make a small ringing sound.

– Ugh!

Soon, a blue energy enveloped the knife, turned into a sharp blade, and stretched out.

A blue aura that seemed like it could cut anything formed on the knife. The man’s eyes were twisted in shock.

Those who saw before their eyes what they had only heard in words held their breath. Then, he looked at the tips of Calian’s fingers with a ‘no way’ look in his eyes. As if to prove that belief to be correct, Calian quietly stood up from his seat, raised a knife with an aura as long as the length of the sword, and slashed it right in front of the man’s nose.

The man was startled and shrugged his shoulders.

“……!”

There was no sound at that moment.

The knife, which was stabbed silently as if the thick iron table was a pudding, went right through the table. Only the afterimage of blue light remained for a long time, like a nightmare.

I felt a cold chill coming from the Auror’s blade that passed between my knees under the table and then disappeared. The man pulled back without realizing it. The pants were cut long, so my bare legs were clearly visible.

“What are you!”

Calian bowed his head.

Blood came rushing out from inside my body.

Calian held the corner of the table with both hands to support his body and managed to swallow back the boiling blood.

‘I can’t do it twice.’

My heart hurt as if it would break.

Calian barely opened his mouth and spoke in a relaxed manner.

“If it’s 6,000 florins and your life… I’ll exchange the monster’s eyes.”

My voice trembled. It was meant to hold back pain, but to the man’s ears, it only sounded like he was holding back his anger.

‘crazy! It’s a sword master! A hundred guys like me. No, even if a thousand people gather, we are no match!’

The man quickly grasped the situation and quickly nodded.

Then, behind Calian, he glanced at the two subordinates who were shivering with wide-open eyes. It was meant to be brought in, and two people rushed forward.

Calian reached out and took the knife.

The knife, which was thought to be unable to withstand the aura, was surprisingly fine. The craftsmanship of the creator was good, and there may be a reason why the auror appeared and disappeared in such a short moment. Kalian laughed.

‘I was weaker than the sword.’

Calian sat down again. To hide his pained expression, he lowered his head and took a slow breath.

Five minutes passed, which felt like five years. The pain had decreased to the point where it was bearable. When it took longer than expected, Calian became frustrated and knocked on the desk with a knife. The man panicked because the sound seemed to shorten his lifespan.

“I’ll be there soon, so please wait a moment!”

Immediately after that, the office door opened and the men who had left a moment ago rushed in. But there were only two of them. He didn’t bring Kyrie with him. The man asked urgently.

“Where should you leave the kid?”

“What he’s saying is… that he can’t leave that behind…”

Calian raised his head in surprise. The wind almost caused the hood that I had barely managed to protect to come off.

Hina.

It’s a name I’ve heard of.

‘Could it be that…?’

When Calian’s head was raised, the man opened his mouth urgently.

“So you said you would go together?”

“Yes. Hina is the same half….”

“It doesn’t matter, so bring her! Bring two or three, just bring them all!”

“yes yes!”

The sound of running was heard again. It didn’t take that long this time.

– Sweet.

The door opened once again. And then four people came in. Excluding the man’s subordinates, one of them was Kirie and the other was Calian, who I had seen a while ago. It was the silver-haired girl who gave the certificate.

The man who saw them said with joy.

“Come on, take everyone with you. Go quickly.”

Calian suddenly got up from his seat. Then the man and his subordinates flinched and stepped back.

“Follow me, both of you.”

Calian, who spoke as if he had no more business to see to others, walked towards the door.

“ah.”

The man seemed to be relieved, and Calian, who made a short sound, suddenly turned back and approached again.

“Why are you doing this?”

Calian, standing in front of the man, held out his hand.

The man who saw it was astonished.

‘Have you changed your mind? Are you even asking me for money?’

Calian smiled brightly.

“Please return the entrance fee and principal.”

5 gold coins.

You have to use it sparingly.
