Reborn as the Enemy Prince

Chapter 87. Since ancient times, Mi Moran (5)

Sometimes the wrong things can lead to the wrong results.

Unlike Hina, who likes strawberries because they’re really delicious, she likes Planz because she thought she liked strawberries. Just like Kalyan, who had been asking for mint tea all the time since the noble servant whom I had only met for a short time was the only one who was good at making mint tea, and he soon grew to like mint tea very much.

Demirea was like that too.

– You don’t like sweets, but you like the bitter taste, so you eat caramel?

Demirea, who had finally managed to finish a proper lunch in time, nodded. Then Hina, who had asked the question, made a face as if she had just heard the most puzzling thing in the world.

okay.

Because of caramel.

‘Even the commander wouldn’t eat that much caramel.’

‘yes. ‘I don’t eat that much either.’

‘Where did you get all that caramel?’

‘The baby elephant must have brought it to you.’

The conversation started because we learned that Demirea, who does not like sweets, ate a huge amount of caramel while working all night long in the lord’s representative’s office.

‘It’s outside the lord’s castle. It’s clean and there’s nothing bad about it. There’s nothing you can’t find, like caramel.’

It was just as Alan said.

A lot of the caramel was obtained from a shopping street outside the lord’s castle. Of course, Yeongju Castle has not been restored yet.

Hasn’t it only been a day since the battle with Zeon? Thanks to the wizards, many of the bodies were quickly removed, but it was only a short period of time to restore the broken walls of the castle and the intentionally collapsed passages to their original state.

After the battle was over, it was a miracle that the prison that housed the remaining soldiers of Zeon that Allen had captured, the clean rooms that allowed the Balkan wounded to rest, and the kitchen that would prepare meals for all the personnel were intact.

“You eat that because of the bitter taste. Anyway, you have a very unique greeting.”

“But can I really be as unique as Prince Calian?”

Demirea, who smiled slightly at the words of Allen, who had come to visit with Hina, saying he had something to tell her, answered.

“Actually, it’s because of our knight commander, Sir Ronansite. When I was young, Sir Ronansite was my guard, and he really likes caramel. So, as the days of eating the same thing increased, I somehow ended up liking that sweet too. “I felt like I had to try it, so I looked for a reason to like it and this is what happened.”

As I tried to like the bitter taste that was hidden between the taste of well-boiled sugar, I naturally came to like the unique sweet taste and scent of caramel as well.

It was a truly absurd reason.

Demirea, who had told me the reason for the order of preference being reversed, which was very similar to Jan’s, who had come to like cherries because she liked cherry blossoms, extended her hand. Then, I put my fork to the dessert, which was filled with caramel whipped cream on a fluffy sheet.

“I think it’s good to eat when you’re tired.”

Then, as if he had forgotten that he had filled his body with excess sugar instead of getting proper rest and sleep last night, he ate the sweet cake he had just scooped into his mouth. Sifting out the bitter taste in it and savoring it as if searching for treasure.

Of course, the cake was also prepared and served by Jan. No one would know better than Jan what Demirea would find whenever work piled up.

– Don’t eat too much. Little Duke is rotten.

“Yes, I will.”

Anyway, it’s a good thing.

Thanks to Demirea’s taste, which was created for such an odd reason, everyone, including Hina, who likes most sweets, and Allen, who can’t resist anything sweet, were able to enjoy a brief moment of leisure together enjoying desserts that perfectly suited their tastes.

“So can I take a breather now?”

Alan said this to Demirea, who was sipping on some fragrant black tea. Then, he gently lifted the milk in front of him and put it down in front of Hina. This is because I knew that Hina liked milk tea more than black tea because of her horse’s resemblance to the color.

While Hina, who laughed for a moment, accepted it and made her own tea, Demirea’s answer was heard.

“Enough to hear interesting news from the capital.”

“Huh, have you already heard the story?”

“No. I just thought you would.”

“Do you know what I’m going to tell you?”

“I know that Lord Manasil met my father before coming here. If there were any issues related to the Whitlin Estate, he would have come alone or had Sir Hertz with him, but he insisted on accompanying Sir Bern, who was already the busiest, so he could take care of the affairs of this territory. “Rather, you probably came here to discuss a personal matter that you would have discussed with your father.”

Demirea quietly put down the glass she was holding and looked at Alan.

“It’s like a problem that needs to be taken care of between fiancés.”

And he expressed the conclusion he had come up with.

– Look at that. If you bring me, the Little Duke will notice.

Hina, who was listening from the side, spoke as if scolding him. Then Alan shook his head and laughed lowly.

“It’s because Veronica is the only one who is easy to trick and make fun of. It’s not fun at all, so I don’t know what to do with it.”

“The Manasil Alchemist is also quick-witted, Sir Manasil.”

“Oh my. Is that so?”

“You’re probably being deceived because you’re my grandfather. Don’t worry.”

“This is it. I’ll definitely be careful.”

Allen nodded with a very serious face and smiled softly, making Hina laugh. Then he looked at Hina and Demirea in turns and opened his mouth.

“I have already spoken to Lord Bern. Just as you said, interesting news is spreading in the capital.”

“Are you talking about me and Prince Calian?”

“No. It’s about you and me.”

“…… yes?”

“Now. Listen.”

After that, he told a strange rumor that made Kalyan really happy. The story continued while Hina finished eating the cake and reached for the milk tea. Meanwhile, Demirea finished the small cake in front of her. This is because it was said to be a lack of sugar rather than a lack of hunger.

After Alan finished speaking, Demirea let out a long sigh and raised her head. Then, looking at Hina, he spoke with a small smile.

“Let’s have a fight together in the square.”

A windy laugh came out of Hina’s mouth.

– Since I would lose if I fight with the Little Duke, I thought I would just hold hands with the kind prince and eat ice cream on the sparkling street.

Whether it was the Duke and the Count fighting in the square in front of the palace, the Three Princes and the Count eating ice cream on Astricia Street, or whatever, plans were made to make Kairisis a truly exciting place.

Demirea laughed for a moment before opening her mouth.

“What did you say?”

“I didn’t hear your opinion.”

“Then what about Prince Calian?”

“What do you think he said?”

“Actually, I’m not sure because he’s such an odd thinker. I think everything would be fine as long as it wasn’t for the fact that he was so heartbroken that he wanted to sit in Siegfried’s backyard.”

“They said they were going to give you a birthday present.”

“A gift.”

Isn’t it a day close to Dmirea’s birthday? So, I will celebrate the birthday of ‘the fiancé who joined hands with my brother and tried to cut off his head.’

‘I guess I still haven’t given up on the idea of holding my brother’s hand in Brisen.’

‘Does the prince see it that way too?’

While explaining things to Demirea, Alan briefly recalled his conversation with Calian last night.

‘If my son-in-law, who is already well-known, continues to erode his reputation further, he will be in a situation where he cannot help but be stranded. In such a situation, if you want to ascend to the throne without any trouble, you have to at least hold Brisen’s hand again.’

‘The size of that thought is so narrow. Anyway, don’t worry too much. In the capital, Duke Siegfried has decided to come to the forefront, and when the princes and your majesty return and appear in front of everyone again, things will quiet down.’

‘no. The rumors may quiet down, but your views on your brother or Demirea will not change. What story could be more fun to imagine and spread? Even if time passes and my brother and I have a national wedding, it will not disappear and will follow us.’

‘Are you speaking as if you have experienced it?’

‘Arianne and I had a really good relationship, didn’t we? Thanks to that, there was a lot of backstory.’

‘Hagi article. ‘I guess so.’

‘yes.’

‘So what do you plan to do this time?’

‘In times like this, we need to spread more interesting stories. There’s no way I can silence the interesting news with an anxious mind by already announcing Zeon… Should I give a gift to my fiancé?’

‘Are you talking about a gift?’

‘yes. ‘Because the timing is good.’

It’s exactly like the one I made before I went to break Gray Briesen’s back. While recalling Calian’s voice, which made her think that way, Demirea opened her mouth to Alan. With a solemn expression on his face, as if he was ready to grab my forehead at any time.

“What are you offering to give me? I’m sure it won’t be Whitlin.”

“Do you really think I should abandon this territory to you? Don’t worry. The prince will continue to embrace this place.”

“Then what is it?”

It would put an end to rumors about the relationship between Plants and Dmirea in an instant, and the name of the pea in the middle would be covered up as if it had never existed in people’s memories. If it is true that Calian was betrayed by Dmirea, it is an excessive gift that will never be passed on. Something that would make Brisen realize for himself how foolish it was to spread such nonsense.

Such a gift.

“You said you would change the name of the Fallun Merchant Marine to the Siegfried Merchant Merchant.”

It was once Brysen’s and now clearly belongs to Calian, but since it could not be named ‘Kairis Upper’, it was named after the last name of Melfir Fallun, who would manage the upper. I’m going to change the name of that place.

“The name of the top of Fallun… are you talking about?”

“I see.”

Even though the name has changed, it still belongs to Kalyan.

Melfir Fallun would continue to manage it.

The only thing that changes is the name.

Demirea did not know that fact.

“I don’t know how special my fiancé’s distribution is. He is a person who has been doing farming for a long time, but he still does his work well.”

Nevertheless, Demirea let out a short sigh and reacted like this.

What is so disappointing about Siegfried that it would be interested in the profits from the top or the position of operator at the top? He was surprised because he knew that what he would gain from Siegfried was not just money but more fame.

In any case, people are not interested in who the actual owner of the top is. If its name is Siegfried, then it must belong to Siegfried, so I can only believe and admire it.

How will it be engraved in the minds of countless people who do not know the circumstances that the name of the Brisen Merchant Marine, which once ruled this country, was briefly changed to Siegfried after an unknown baron’s surname was ‘Folun’? Even though they may not be able to keep their ears open to rumors from the capital, they will definitely know the name of the merchant who is coming to their village right now. What will they think?

– Briesen’s wings went to Siegfried.

Briesen and Siegfried.

An elephant that stole the wings of a dying griffin.

That perception would arise. It was said that they would make it that way. They say they will give even bigger wings to Siegfried, the center of the south.

“That’s not the end.”

“Then what else is there?”

“You said you would do whatever it takes to capture Tensil’s heart and make the direct diamond transaction agreement between the Tensil royal family and ‘Siegfried Merchant’ successful.”

“…Diamonds.”

“Isn’t it Siegfried? Siegfried should have diamonds.”

As soon as his name was changed to Siegfried, he was given the right to directly trade diamonds. Is there any other achievement more impressive than that?

“Instead of clearing your name and my name, are you trying to make Brisen speak up again?”

“That’s right. That’s it.”

‘Incompetent Lennon’ who ruined the once great merchant, ‘Evan with narrow vision’ who failed to recognize that the merchant was a merchant that could have been revived and sold it to a mere baron at a low price, and an attempt to get the merchant back by claiming that it was a transaction that resulted in excessive losses. The name of ‘the Gray Brisen’, who has never been tried before, will be spread widely on the streets of Astricia instead of the two boring names of Dmirea and Planz.

‘Just the prince. This is a transaction that was not successful even though so much effort was made at the top of Fallon. Isn’t it a situation where the royal family can make their own decisions?’

‘Because I didn’t pay attention until now.’

‘Are you saying you plan to come forward yourself?’

‘yes. So that I can no longer think of playing around with rumors. I plan to go out myself.’

‘Is it possible?’

‘Of course it is possible.’

Alan chuckled.

‘Isn’t this beauty saved for use in times like this?’

Because I remembered the answer of my son, who had no idea if he had even saved it.

“So, you asked me to accept it without rejecting it.’

“I understand.”

Demirea nodded.

“I will gratefully accept your birthday present.”

Then, she let out a low laugh, saying that she would accept this ‘birthday present’ as long as it was received without any compensation.

A truly strange incident led to her departure from the continent. How can you not laugh as the strongest shield is now covered with diamonds?

– When you get the diamonds, we’ll throw a celebration party, Duke.

Hina, who was listening to the two’s story with an excited expression, moved her hands.

– A light green dress with a Vulcan pattern. I will wear a diamond necklace and go to congratulate you, good crown prince, with my arms around you.

Of course, I am referring to the light green color that will remind you of Plants, which is significantly different from Silike’s ‘green grape color.’ The

crown prince is with his betrothed, a Balkan healer. Shouldn’t we together offer heartfelt congratulations to the elephants who stole Brisen’s wings? The crown prince was never Brisen’s person to begin with. It’s so interesting to learn about politics one by one like this. Hina, who has a face like that

. Demirea nodded towards him.

“Yes. I’ll have to do that.”

With a face quite similar to Hina’s.

* * *

Sometimes, an expression appears on Randel’s face as well.

When the youngest brother spoke to me once a day after coming to breakfast, the youngest brother said that he was alone. When I took the poison with my own hand in disgust and saw that he was finally free from the poison, and when I saw the rose-like youngest brother, who had grown up strong and strong, baring his teeth at me. And. “Siegfried also fasted like

Tensil

. “Is there a day?”

“No.”

“There was such a day, so I thought you were helping me.” As soon as

I left the city of elves and stopped by Siegfried’s territory, I took the daily food of the people of this town and put it in my stomach. When I was sitting across from my youngest brother, who was picking up

raw oysters, the person on the 4th floor, who had already finished eating a well-cooked beef steak and salad without seafood, started to look out the window as if he was very used to this situation. The sound of chewing

. Of course, Calian, who was eating raw oysters with great pleasure, following the perfect royal etiquette of not even making the sound of clinking cutlery, looked up, and Randel was putting the last piece of lobster, which had a pleasant scent of high-quality butter, into his mouth. He answered,

“It is not a day to fast, but a day worth celebrating. Today is the day when Brother Randel’s light green younger brother’s safe becomes lighter. He promised to buy me raw oysters.”

Let’s see.

I have a youngest brother, but he is not light green. Was there anyone else who could be called a light green younger brother?

Randel, who had taken some time to think about it for a moment, turned his head. And After catching a glimpse of the person on the 4th floor who seemed to be closest to what Calian had described, he said,

“I heard that the quality of Sereia pearls is good.”

“Is that true? “I wasn’t interested in freshwater pearls, so I didn’t know that you grow pearls on your property and sell them.” You’re

not growing pearls, you’re growing clams. And selling those won’t bring a lot of money into my coffers. So, eat at it. “Where are you going?” I said, and if I scolded him like that, it was clear that the jet-black cat

that

had run to me excitedly when I told him I would buy him raw oysters was so disappointed that he would start barking with a sullen face. So I kept my mouth shut and asked another question. .

“Whitlin.”

Then came the expected answer.

I thought I should go to Fabian right away, but I had to escort the elven assassin given away by Grandmaster Narzan. Not only that, I also gave the Harpy Stone that was returned to Danu. I also had to hand over the materials for the hard and translucent sword that I received as a gift.

“I have something to tell you, I also have to meet with Whitlin, and I also have to look into the affairs of Whitlin’s territory. Even if the arrest of Rashid Briesen is delayed, we must finish this matter.” ”

When you go to Fabian, are you planning to leave everything behind and go alone?”

“No. We’ll stick to our initial plan. The wounded will be sent back to the capital with Master, but all other personnel will be sent back to Fabian. “Shouldn’t we maintain the title of inspecting the territory?”

“Okay.”

Plantz, who drank carbonated water with floating strawberry pieces floating in his mouth, nodded in a satisfied answer. And this time, he was putting lemon sauce on grilled scallops. I opened my mouth as I looked at another person.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t Kyrie.

Kyrie had put an elf assassin in the prison in Siegfried’s mayor’s house and was guarding the front. Calian was supposed to take shifts at midnight, so until then, Kyrie was there. I had to put in the effort.

“Wizard. Why aren’t you going?”

So the person Plantz is looking at is not Kirie, but someone else.

“I’m eating with my own money. Just like you, young bastard.”

It was Adelia.

“… Not. Question.”

“I can’t go because the prince’s explanation alone doesn’t answer all my questions.”

Hearing this, Calian shrugged his shoulders.

I asked him to find out how the harpy was still alive, but he kept following the group with his mouth shut like that. When. He acted as if Serjane’s head would disappear at any moment.

“Why don’t you go to Whitlin with me? I guess I can just say hello to Master. Adelia.”

“I won’t follow you there. “You said you don’t like Alan Manasil?”

After saying that, Adelia looked at Calian, who was silent for a while. Then, she pointed her fork towards the wizard’s pouch in Calian’s arms and said, “Let me ask you one more thing besides the Harpy Stone.

”

“Tell me.”

“Why are you using a power like Silestian? I’m curious about that too.”

Calian frowned at the unexpected words.

Then Adelia continued,

“You erased my magic. That’s a Celestian specialty, so how did you do it?”

Calian’s eyes narrowed.
