Reborn as the Enemy Prince

Chapter 27. If it were now, (1)

it was as Calian said.

It may not be difficult or it may be difficult.

It is not difficult to honor Freya as queen. There was currently no other queen for Lemain, and of course Lemain was the only one with the authority to proceed with the matter.

“Are you serious?”

“I’m serious.”

Lemain took a short breath at the answer that followed immediately.

This is because he guessed that Calian’s sudden request was not made out of Freya’s honor.

lineage.

The label of a prince whose mother was a concubine who was even a commoner. It must have been an attempt to remove it.

Of course, there was only one reason to take it off now.

“You’re probably saying this with your heart set on the crown prince.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Calian answered without hiding this time.

It didn’t matter whether Freya was a concubine or a commoner, as she had a strong power called Vulcan before. But now Calian has given all of that power to Plantz. So I found another way and came to see Lemain.

To have power, not power.

Even the nobles who expected Calian to become crown prince and those who supported Calian’s hand to some extent all said that Calian’s origins were ‘flaws’. Whether it was meant as a disparagement or not, the fact that he was not the queen’s son was the same for everyone.

In such a situation, what would happen to those who support Randel or Plantz?

Didn’t Hail Latran, who was arrested a long time ago while trading sacred items without the royal family’s knowledge and selling information about Kairis to Sejak of Secretia, say so? Kalian is said to be ‘the child of the common people.’

No matter how exceptional Kalian’s actions are, no matter how strong his power is, he is not regarded as royalty at all. As Briesen’s power weakened, some people thought that if, by chance, Plante could not ascend to the throne, it would be better for Randel to ascend to that position.

“Isn’t that something I can’t do on my own?”

Wasn’t it Bern who was knighted and swore loyalty to Chase to prevent him from opposing Chase’s appointment as crown prince?

The way the nobles questioned the great lineage was no different from Secretia. I even think that their hatred towards her just because she had a commoner concubine as her mother might be even worse than that of Secretia.

Lemain also knew what the nobles of Kyris were thinking. I never knew that if Freya became queen, her only but fatal weakness would disappear.

“I know what you mean. It’s just Kalian.”

After saying that, Lemain fell silent for a moment.

It was Kalyan from the beginning.

Calian was of great help as Lemain’s political partner, and judging by his personality and abilities, it was Calian who was most suitable as the next king. Of course, sometimes I explode into something so big that it makes my head ache, but there is a definite reason for that. I also know that in the current situation where royal authority has fallen, a bold move unlike the one taken by Lemain is necessary.

Therefore, I had already made up my mind that I should give the position of crown prince to Kalian. If only considering that it would help lower the crown’s position, there was no reason why it could not be accepted.

I would have done that if I hadn’t thought about other issues.

“It’s dangerous right now.”

However, it was still dangerous.

So I couldn’t do it.

Therefore, Lemain responded with a refusal.

Lemain’s expressionless face revealed complex emotions that included sadness, shame, and guilt.

This was because the problem arose because Lemain did not have much power. If the royal authority had been a little stronger, the person who gave birth to Lemain’s child would never have been called a ‘commoner’.

“So, I hope you wait a little longer. What do you think?”

Lemain was not foolish enough to wonder whether Calian was being presumptuous by bringing up the story about the crown prince first, or whether he was revealing his desire to become king too easily. That’s why I just asked this.

“There is still more than a year left until Randel turns 20. In that time, he must further increase his royal authority, resolve minor issues with Tensil, and shake off Brisen’s hand even a little more. In this way, the forces opposing you will be reduced even a little. “Then, I will try to fulfill your request at that time. Will it be difficult?”

“What do you think is dangerous, Your Highness?”

“Of course…”

Wouldn’t praising Freya as queen at this time be the same as revealing Lemaine’s resolve? Although he has not yet been placed on the throne, it is no different from saying that he has made a decision in his heart. It was considered dangerous.

Alan’s words, ‘If you put the person you don’t like the most on the throne first, they will disappear on their own’ will never be wrong. Would you leave Calian, who is strong and alone without much influence in Briesen and Tensil?

Lemain, who was about to explain it, fell silent. And then he stared at Calian.

You won’t know.

It’s not Kalyan who doesn’t know that.

“I’m curious why you’re suddenly asking for it. Is there something going on?”

Calian smiled slightly at those words.

It was because I thought it was fortunate that I didn’t hastily say no.

“It’s not like I’m asking you for a special reason.”

If Lemaine admired Freya as much as he thought, Evan would naturally not stay still. And Calian was thinking of using that as a justification to cut off all of Brisen’s heads. Because pruning with a cause and pruning without a cause are different.

another one.

When Brisen falters after the news of Freya’s praise, the nobles turn to Calian. That was the power that Calian would have in his hands. A force that will create a lifeline for Kalian under the pretext of a ‘justice’ that Kalyan will create.

Justifiable pruning and new forces.

Those two things must go together for Kalyan to survive.

However, I could not tell Lemain the truth about this.

If he were not careful, he would have been accused of murdering the heads of a family. Lemain would definitely be against it because he was worried about what would happen if the plaza was covered with renicita leaves for Calian.

“I just…”

So Calian decided to give a more honest answer. I will bring out the real reason that lies deeper than the secret hidden inside.

Calian slightly raised his head and looked at Lemain.

I looked up at Lemain for a moment with a slight smile on my lips.

I looked at Lemain and gave the rest of my answer.

“I’m asking you to save my life, Your Majesty.”

A calm voice without the slightest hint of lies.

It was a request Lemain could never refuse.

* * *

Arsene loves fire explosions.

However, Arsene is not called a wizard who uses dual attributes. This is because knowing how to do something and having two masters and servants are completely different.

Arsene just knows how to use fire together. It could not be said that he could properly handle magic of both attributes. Just as the ice wall that Arsene used at the same time as he sent the fireball towards the Heysia Palace was noticeably unstable.

A wizard who treats both attributes as a master and servant, and thus always has perfect perfection regardless of whether or not he uses magic of different attributes at the same time. That is a dual attribute wizard.

Of course, Alan was an exception.

The moment you cross the 7th circle barrier, the boundaries of your attributes disappear. Therefore, for Allen, the difference between attributes was simply what was used more often.

For that reason, wizards usually train with only one thing that suits them as their main focus. I think someday I too will become a member of the Go Circle. In order to have two masters and servants, magical talent and attribute affinity were basic, and a lot of time and effort had to be spent.

However, Euria did not necessarily desire Alan’s level. I was thinking something like, if you can do it, you can do it or not. Still, I didn’t want to lose to others, so I made both attributes my main focus. And achieved something that was close to impossible.

Since it was Euria, she must have become the president of the Wizards Association five years ago, when she was a year younger than Arsene now.

“twenty three.”

So Arsene was faithfully playing the role of a kid who knew how to fight.

– I’m going to go to the middle of the day!

A magic that could only be described as a dazzling light covering the earth stretched out from Euria’s fingertips. It was aimed at the five knights who were trying to rush towards Euria.

The swords in their hands were of no use.

Shouldn’t you be able to attack only if you can get close?

So, regardless of whether the thing in that hand was emitting red aura or not, it had no effect whatsoever and did not pose any threat to Euria.

– Coo!

The five knights rolled around on the floor, their entire bodies convulsing, but soon became quiet. The reason it resists a force that can kill just by grazing it must be because of the light shield like the one wrapped around the sword.

“eighteen.”

In any case, it seemed like Euria alone would be enough to catch them, so Arsene decided to draw an imaginary line between Euria and them and kill only those who crossed that line. Then, because I had nothing else to do, I took on the role of counting the number of them.

Arsene, who looked at the guys lying on the floor for a moment, frowned and opened his mouth again.

“…… twenty one.”

Arsene knows well how strong Euria’s lightning is. I have already been hit by what should have been fatal attacks twelve more times.

However, three of the five who fell got up again.

So, if you think about counting the number of those remaining, it is a pretty difficult role. How confusing it is to have to calculate and count whether the person lying down is dead or if he or she will get up again and die.

“Is that shield thick or has the Association President become weak?”

And like this, he was also taking on an encouraging role by occasionally cheering on Euria. It was similar to the cheering Euria gave me when I caught the chicken.

Euria frowned.

Twenty-two, including the twenty-one people standing in front and the one guy standing behind with his head down. It was to put an effort into putting aside the thought that it would be a relief to kill all 22 people.

Euria looked ahead for a moment and muttered to herself.

“I guess that’s the kind of power they use.”

It was a small voice, but the words were clearly audible to Arsene. Arsene quietly asked because it seemed like he knew about that strange red light.

“Was it a force of knowledge?”

When asked about the eerie power of the red light and whether it was spherical, Euria’s lightning briefly turned towards Arsene.

Arsene grinned and stood next to Euria.

I meant to stop teasing you now.

No matter what, we can’t keep playing pranks on Euria, who reduced forty people to twenty-one with just four attacks.

“Commander Manasil’s shield also glows red, but it definitely looks a bit different.”

“Count Manasil is a flame. You can’t compare him to something like that.”

It is true that their abilities are very strange.

Those who fell down a little while ago and got up again. Arsene, who watched the speed at which the skin of those who had been struck by Euria’s lightning regenerated, opened his mouth.

“Are you human? Even Tensil’s healers can’t do that.”

“Oh. It’s a person.”

I clearly saw him fall as if dead after being hit directly by a water sphere filled with the power of lightning. I clearly saw my entire body being burned by lightning while covered in water. Just like that, he defeated all 40 people in two attempts.

And twenty-three of them stood up.

As long as you continue to breathe, you will recover.

“They are probably…”

They are probably using the same power as those who attacked Kalian.

Euria, who was about to say this, closed her mouth. It was because I couldn’t decide whether it would be okay to tell Arsene about the people who attacked Calian.

Instead of answering, Euria raised her hand and pointed in one direction. It was aimed at the guys who just got up and picked up their swords again. It seemed like some kind of swear word was being hurled at Euria, but she didn’t care.

Just before the red shield surrounded them again, a purple beam of light shot towards them like an arrow.

-Ssam!

– Quang!

A purple spear with a long, thin wedge shape. Euria’s spear, filled with the power of lightning, pierced the heads of the three knights who were not protected by the shield.

Their bodies were lifeless and limp.

Euria didn’t look at that for long.

His sharply narrowed eyes quickly scanned the guys who had just recovered and were about to attack Euria again.

These people covered their faces with dark brown masks.

There are no markings on the clothes they are wearing and their faces are not visible. Both knights and wizards wear the same outfit.

“Shouldn’t we kill the wizard first?”

It was because of the shield.

What I was saying was, shouldn’t we stop using that annoying shield first?

“What are you doing that for? It’s bothering you.”

Isn’t it in keeping with Euria’s personality to choose someone to kill first?

The power of electricity is different from ice. It’s extensive.

So just catch them all.

If they run at you, you can hold them and if they shoot you from a distance, you can block them. Why bother?

You can kill with two hits or three hits.

Wouldn’t it be okay to just kill them all?

“How many people are left?”

Arsene, who saw Euria’s sparkling eyes, answered in an unusually polite voice so that Euria, the very capable president of the association, would not, even if at all, misunderstand that ‘Arsene was dissatisfied with his suggestion to kill the wizard first’.

“Eighteen people.”
