Reborn as the Enemy Prince

Chapter 44. Lest I forget (6),

Tensil’s response was later than expected.

To be more precise, the answer from Crown Prince Tensil was late. Thanks to this, Gray also postponed the celebration party for his succession to the marquess by a few days. So Calian had to wait about fifteen days to meet Aela.

Full moon.

A period of time when the cool breeze suddenly starts to feel cold.

During that period, Kairis harbored a desire for change.

Alan began to move in earnest.

After meeting Euria several more times over the course of 15 days, Alan changed the Fallun Magic Academy to the Fallun Magic School officially approved by Lemain and began preparations to establish branch schools in each region of Kairis. Thanks to this, an environment was created in which Euria, who had been in the ambiguous position of ‘principal of a magic academy,’ could work as a formal principal with the proper title.

‘Count Manasil. ‘I have a favor to ask you.’

‘Speak.’

‘Can’t you just fire me?’

Of course, it is unknown whether Euria, who once again received the golden school principal’s name plate, would have truly expressed her gratitude to Alan.

‘There’s no need to be so humble, so be confident. To show my support, I will make you a drinking buddy.’

After receiving Euria’s thanks, Allen invited his daughter-in-law, Rachel Grace, who had completed the formalization of the installation method for the moving magic circles that would continue to be added throughout Kyris, to the capital. And the original plan to entrust Vulcan’s training to him was slightly modified and he was entrusted with the management of the magic school’s branch and vice-principal duties.

In addition, plans began to be implemented, such as improving the treatment of magicians and expanding facilities inside the palace and on the outskirts of the capital as the number of Balkans increased. The purpose was to grow Vulkan to a size worthy of the name ‘Legion’.

At the same time, the most important work necessary for the growth of the Balkans was carried out.

– Needlen Zeia Palton Yuz Raj Iveka Damien Scone is appointed as the commander of the Balkan division.

A total of four division commanders were appointed, two each from the Wizards and the Knights.

From platoon to company to battalion to brigade and division to corps.

From the beginning, Calian did not want to gradually increase the size of Balkan and change its name accordingly. The Balkans, which had only 30 members, were immediately called a corps.

‘Names are important. The Vulcan, which was called a platoon, became a company, a battalion, and eventually a corps. Every time a name is mentioned, the nobles will be reminded that the king’s power is growing stronger, and they will be on guard every time. I have to fight wits with the nobles every time, but I don’t have time to waste. It’s better to start with a big name and create sub-classes one by one.’

He called Balkan a name that suited his target size and wanted to grow it to an appropriate size. Therefore, through consultation with Arsene and Plantz, Allan gave the four newly appointed men the name of division commander, a lower rank than deputy corps commander.

The changes didn’t end there.

– Arsene Hertz, deputy commander of the Balkan army, is given the rank of count.

– The rank of Viscount is awarded to Needlen Zeia Palton Yuz Raj Iveca Damien Scone, the division commander of the Balkans.

Lemain changed the policy of treating all members equally as baronets, regardless of whether they were leaders or general members, unless they had their own title. Accordingly, each member of the Balkan leadership was given a title appropriate to his or her position.

– The rank of marquis is awarded to Alan Manasil, commander of the Balkan corps.

Of course, Allen also received a real title befitting his position in command of the army. It was the seat of the second marquis of Kairis, who had long since disappeared. It was not that there were no complaints from the nobles, but no voices were made hastily.

Also one more thing.

– The title of Viscount is given to Hina Bern, the Balkan healer who revived the three princes with the best measures.

A reward was given to Hina, whose value cannot be evaluated simply by saying she is precious.

His status rose two levels from baronet to viscount.

A healer who works alone without any crew under his command was given the same title as the commander of a Balkan division. It was a reward for saving so many princes so far and a measure to prevent the kings of other countries from taking over at will.

It was a truly unconventional personnel decision for Lemaine, who knew very well that Hina was a half-elf, a commoner, and had no last name and had difficulty proving her identity at first.

Also, this and that.

‘It’s moving as if it was waiting for Briesen to stumble.’

There were so many changes in the royal family that the nobles evaluated it this way, as if everything had to change before the Marquess of Gray Briesen took his place.

All of this was Lemain’s power and Kyris’s throne that needed to be restored. All of this was accomplished in just 15 days.

And at the starting point of all changes was Kalian.

Kalian’s name was still nowhere to be found, but it was clearly the flap of a butterfly’s wings created by Kalian’s hands and bringing about a typhoon.

“Is that a butterfly?”

“I wonder if butterfly wings look like that. Just looking at it, it doesn’t look like a bird.”

A place where cheerful music flows.

The Marquis’s residence of Gray Briesen, who temporarily used Lennon’s mansion in place of Evan’s mansion, which burned down.

After Evan’s death, Briesen was in a state of confusion for a while, and the nobles who were not going to take it easy due to the huge incident involving Briseen and Secretia’s affairs, heard a rumor that the Vice Commander of the Vulcan Army was attending with a gift from Calian.

– Does this mean that the relationship between the 3rd Prince and the new Marquis of Briesen is not that bad?

– So, please hand me a gift. Isn’t it said that he even sent Count Hertz?

– Then I guess I’ll have to attend.

The nobles who gave Calian’s gift the meaning that the relationship between the prince and the marquis were not bad participated in the party. Behind them, a few people were gathered together in front of a statue erected at the entrance to a large garden, exchanging stories.

“Oh, I see. Two birds. But why did you send a bird that wasn’t even a ‘cat’?”

A gift from Calian.

I was trying hard to gauge its meaning.

“I think this red bird is a griffin.”

“Isn’t it a bit much to call it a griffin?”

A sculpture made using fire, ice, and water.

On top of the decorative stand that reached up to the waist, there was water about a hand-length high. Even though there was no device to stop the water, the flowing water clumped together and did not flow downward.

And there was a bird of flame that looked as if it was about to float out of the water, stretching its wings toward the sky. The long wings of the bird, which could not be seen because its legs were submerged in the water, were covered in bright red flames and gave off a burning light.

“Rather than calling it a griffin…”

one person muttered while looking at the bird’s long neck.

“It looks like a swan made of flame.”

“I see. Looking at it again, I see it that way too. But what on earth is that swan holding in its mouth?”

ice.

There was another piece of ice in the bird’s beak. A round thing the size of a person’s fist. But something with a clear form.

“…… Sparrow?”

It was similar, but it was a blue warbler, not a sparrow.

So, Calian made a sculpture of a red swan flying out of the water, biting and killing a green warbler, and sent it to Gray.

There was no problem in sending statues of red swans and warblers that had nothing to do with Gray.

“This sparrow-like thing probably represents Evan. He lost his last name and his title, so how can it be called a griffin? It’s just a sparrow. And that swan is not arrogant like the big griffins of the past, and is being told to show a different side. “It seems like the meaning. Isn’t that what it means to burn away all the stains of the previous day by working hard with the intention of becoming new?”

“Ah. That’s really what it means.”

Anyway, no matter what you send, they will find a grand and good meaning and attach it to you.

“It seems very difficult to live as a noble.”

“You’re a real noble now, little earl.”

The purple-haired wizard lightly responded to the words of the blue-haired wizard who was standing a little away from them.

“Should I put a lightning bolt up there? Also add another message to me to come to my senses and live.”

“That would be nice to see.”

At the same time, purple lightning began to strike the red swan statue. The nobles were impressed and nodded with faces that soon realized something.

“… They seem like smart idiots.”

The purple-haired wizard who saw this left an honest impression.

Although they said it as if it was nothing special, I would probably have been very surprised if there were other wizards here besides these two. Because it was never easy to create and maintain magic with different properties in a specific form.

“Now, how about just mastering the fire attribute? A dual attribute like me. Kid, you like fire.”

“I don’t do double attributes.”

“why?”

“My teacher said that something you really like should be done as a hobby to make it more fun. And there’s nothing like ice to catch people.”

The ice kid spoke to the Reaper of Noon, who sprinkled water and summoned lightning and inflicted carnage, piercing the hearts of each and every one of them with great care.

“And I’ll be in the 6th circle quickly.”

“Circle 6, why? Let me drink?”

“Yes. Chairman of the Association, don’t you have to drink well to avoid freezing your snacks?”

“Oh, okay. Do your best.”

Euria, who heard why the Vulcan vice-corps commander, genius wizard, and count had a grand dream of achieving the 6th circle, gave a brief answer.

“Now that I think about it, I can’t see Baron Fallun.”

“My wife and I are nearby. I feel like if you stay close to me, you’ll raise unnecessary suspicions. By the way, Baron Fallun is a baron and I’m a little earl?”

“A kid is a kid, then.”

As that simple conversation was going on, the music that was playing changed. It was the sound announcing the start of the party.

“I think you saw that tweet you were looking for.”

“You must have seen it. There was a man who was just looking at the statue from a distance and then quietly disappeared.”

Euria answered “yes” and smoothed her upturned hair for a moment.

The light blue silk dress with lots of jewels and the dark purple high heels were great, but putting up my long hair, which I had always roughly braided or tied up, felt heavy and the back of my neck felt completely empty.

“Are you uncomfortable?”

Euria nodded towards Arsene, who asked how she noticed that.

“Uh, I’ve been a bit busy these days, so I haven’t been to the party much.”

“Still, it suits you well as a robe.”

“I guess so.”

In response to Euria’s seemingly obvious answer, Arsene, dressed in black shirt, jacket, and pants, and wearing a purple tie, grinned. Then, I made an ice flower that exactly resembled my hair color and placed it on my purple hair, which was just pinned up without any other decorations.

“What?”

“I think this will suit you well. It’s not boring.”

Euria lightly touched the new decorative pin and instead of saying that she took off all the decorative pins because her long hair was already heavy, she smiled and answered.

“Of course it is.”

Arsene held out his hand, thanking Calian in his heart for teaching him how to make blue flowers that looked much better than the boring purple flowers you pay for.

“While you’re here, let’s dance a song, Mr. Association President.”

“Uh, I’m just going to dance to one song and then drink, so you just watch, kid. Don’t freeze someone’s house.”

“yes. I understand.”

The two wizards, who had finished their work, entered the banquet hall in a friendly manner.

* * *

–

Lucy, who had fallen asleep to the sound of flipping through documents, spread out her pink soles and made a sound that sounded like sleep talking. It was much

louder than Euria’s hair . ‘I am Prince Planz’s cat, who likes Prince Planz.’ The cat was sleeping with its dark purple paws facing upward. The cat suddenly opened its eyes and twitched at Lucy’s sleeping habits. It

was deep at night.

“Sorry for waking you up. Keep sleeping.”

Calian, who had caused the gray kitten to wake up, said softly. He then raised his finger and gently stroked the kitten’s chin. “I guess

Pea was so busy that he forgot to name you. That’s right, it’s a butterfly.”

“Niaong.”

The kitten made a soft noise as if in response, then gently closed its eyes and fell back to sleep. That small figure was so precious that Kalyan cautiously burst into laughter. Dressed up stylishly, he went out to work

. ‘ Plantz had not yet returned as he was busy taking care of Arsene’s business. So Calian was quietly putting the two cats that came to visit him instead of Plantz to sleep and was looking at reports on various changes that had occurred this time. – Falak

Open

Window Several sheets of paper made noise as the wind blew in.

However, neither Lucy nor the kitten woke up this time. It was thanks to the creation of silence between the cat and the table to prevent the two little cats from waking up again. –

Flap, flutter,

good job. .

Otherwise, the cats would have really woken up.

“You came sooner than I expected.”

The person who had been leaning on the railing for a moment moved lightly and stepped into the terrace. The

person who came here’s hair was swaying in the wind. It looked like a rippling wave. Calian thought for a moment. A salty, fishy smell came to mind.

“I’m not afraid.”

Hearing this, Aela sat across from Calian and smiled.

“You found it later than expected.”

Clear water-colored eyes within long eyelashes stared at Calian. “Without fear.”

Calian’s eyes showed a soft smile because he heard the answer that clearly reflected what he had said.

“

Don’t use magic bullets. “Cats don’t like noise.”

“I didn’t bring it.”

“Really?”

“Really. I don’t like leaving scars.”

As Aela said that, she slightly rolled up her sleeves. A long scar remained from the wound she got cut by Calian during the fight in Latran Territory. “It’s not something I should be sorry for, right?” “If it’s true, I should be

sorry

. You sound like you’re going to apologize.”

“If you ask me to do it, I have to do it.”

“It’s okay.”

Aila, who was dressed in tight black clothes that seemed to be meant to immerse herself in the darkness, leaned back on the sofa and asked.

“Anyway. Why did you call me?”

“To kill you.”

“No way. “You must have a lot of questions.”

“Why did you come?” “

To kill you.” “

You said you don’t like scars.”

“In case you don’t know.”

“I’m not that bad of a person, Aela.”

Calian answered with a small smile and placed something on the table. I put it down slightly. Anyone could see that it was a pocket full of money, so Aila looked at it and said,

“I’m not the type of person who will do anything for money.”

“I thought I could give you a few answers.”

“Hmm… .. well. What do you think?”

Ayla, who was looking at Calian for a moment, slightly moved her body and picked up her pocket. Instead of the sound of coins clinking, there was a sound of clinking. Ayla smiled and said without even looking inside. “It’s not money.” “It’s a

bit

. Something better.”

It felt like a bunch of things smaller and rounder than coins were placed on my hand. Eila, who had roughly guessed what it was, asked.

“Ruby?”

“You’re quick-witted. Still.”

“Hmm. I wonder why.”

Eila, who put down the amount of money beyond imagination without any hesitation, leaned back on the sofa again. Then, she tilted her head slightly and looked at Calian. “I ask, and the prince answers

. Instead, how about not taking the ruby?”

“If I don’t take it, I’ll die after the question.”

“The pretty prince doesn’t have a pretty mouth. Still.”

“It’s not fun if everything is pretty.”

Aela laughed softly as if Calian’s answer was amusing, then nodded. After that, she raised her finger and pointed to the bag Calian gave her and said, “Take that too and ask questions

. If you get it, will you send it back?”

“Aila.”

Calian, who cut off his playful words, raised his red eyes and looked at Aila. Then, he slowly and clearly opened his mouth.

“If you came here because you need help, ask for help.”

“… Wow.”

There was a slight murderous look in Aila’s eyes.

“I guess you know I’m running away.”

“I know that the person who was your master has a bad heart, not just a mouth.”

That murderous spirit . Calian, who just accepted it, answered calmly.

Isn’t Devlan willing to leave alive a bird that knows a secret that can be used as a big deal to Calian? So, if Aela really ran away and told Devlan about Calian’s secret, then If he was alive,

I thought he would have run away from Devlan.

“If you tell me straight, I will give you that and help you. Instead, you should help me too. What do you think?”

“If you tell me who the prince really is, I’ll think about it.”

“Is the most I can do is think about it? I’m sad.”

“I’m not an easy person.”

“I know.”

Calian nodded and continued.

“How could you not know? I was your real master.”

The murderous tone deepened.

Calian opened his mouth with a smile whose meaning was difficult to guess.

“Don’t do that, Aila. “Because I don’t want to kill you. Still.”

A cool breeze blew and the cats slept peacefully.

The peaceful night deepened quietly.
