Reborn as the Enemy Prince

Chapter 372

Chapter 66. It’s mine (4)

says Kalyan.

The only time I don’t mind the smell of blood is when I’m eating steak.

A smell that anyone other than a driver cannot smell. Some people with weak stomachs who eat thoroughly cooked meat because they find the smell of blood coming from non-human meat disgusting, may not sympathize with this, but Kalyan did.

And that Calian was trying hard to suppress the feeling of wanting to show his teeth as he looked at the person standing in front of him.

The smell of blood is enough to make you dizzy.

The smell of blood that had already stopped coming from his arm. A puddle of blood formed at the edge of the rooftop, a long blood trail extending to the rooftop railing, blood drops scattered everywhere, and the smell of Aela’s blood on Calian’s body.

The same thing was coming out of the guy standing in front of me. Light, dark, old, not so old. Aside from the blood flowing from the hand holding Aila’s hairpin, the smell of blood was so strong that it was hard to even guess how many people there were. A smell that cannot be erased even by magic.

‘This is Kalyan.’

That’s why I held on to my leash tightly.

As soon as I saw the smile on that face, I felt like I was going to rush at him, sink my claws in, and bite the back of my neck. Because of the smell of blood.

Rashid, the guy who was looking at Kalian, opened his mouth in a relaxed tone.

“I can’t believe someone touched the prince’s things. Could it be that there was something that belonged to the prince here?”

Tuk.

Instead of answering, Calian’s toes tapped the floor once. Because there was no need to say the same thing again.

“I see. But I...”

Instead of answering, Rashid opened his mouth again to hear the voice and unfolded what he was holding in his left hand. A series of slow voices, as if they had not stood still in the slightest, flowed out one after another.

“I only saw one bird, my prince.”

The hairpin is all blood red.

I knew long ago that it wasn’t Aela’s blood. It was blood flowing from a wound on that guy’s palm.

The injured side is the left hand. The scabbard hangs on the left.

‘Right-handed.’

If I had grabbed Aila’s sword with my left hand in a hurry, Aila would have destroyed all of the guy’s fingers. In any other situation, if Aila had been able to wound that guy’s hand, she would have cut off his head instead of just cutting off his palm. So, that is a wound caused by catching Aila’s dagger.

It may not be as strong as Dmirea, but Calian knows best how strong Aela is.

A scar on the left hand of the guy who made Aila like that. It’s a wound that could have been easily struck, but was created by holding on to it. A wound that won’t interfere with a fight but can be a good excuse.

‘A wound intentionally created.’

It was a wound with the same intention as the one contained in the bandage that had been wrapped around Calian’s hand just a moment ago. Because blackmail doesn’t necessarily require someone else’s blood.

Calian, who checked the guy’s face without any distraction from his green eyes, smiled brightly.

“Did you see a bird on such a dark night?”

“Yes. I saw a bird on such a dark night, probably because it was dark and lost. It was unfamiliar to me, so I stopped for a moment, but to my surprise, I saw the prince. Should I call this an unexpected coincidence or... ”

Kalian looked at Rashid for a moment as he nodded in agreement, then lowered his gaze and looked at the hairpin. And Rashid continued without saying anything.

“Should I say it was a predestined relationship?”

“That’s right. It’s a predestined fate. That’s true, Prince. Isn’t it amazing that it feels like a predestined fate?”

“I guess it was interesting enough to capture the Baron’s thoughts.”

“Yes, it is.”

The wind blew.

Kalyan’s hair, which seems to have been made of the most valuable silk in the world, woven one by one, sways in the wind and falls down. It was very different from Rashid’s brown hair, which was meticulously shaped and not at all disheveled.

Calian, who was looking at the flawless outfit, opened his mouth quietly.

“But I... I didn’t bite the bird.”

“Yes. You asked about the prince’s things.”

The guy took a step closer.

“So I answered that I met a bird.”

There was no sound of feet hitting the floor.

Instead, there was a scent.

There was a terrible flower scent.

* * *

Two knights, one wizard.

Arsene looked at the three of them who came at once, as if they had met together and looked like he had a headache.

Arsene quietly raised his head and assessed the situation.

Alan has been away since morning. I said I would go to Libern. For some reason, Needlen, who had volunteered to help, left work in the morning. And another deputy commander who shared the office ran out of the palace.

‘Astrisha.’

Five letters.

By saying just five letters.

I didn’t know what that meant, there was a lot of work to do, and I wasn’t really interested in what he wanted to say in short words, so I just nodded, but it was only now that I realized that he was probably talking about going to Astricia Street.

what. Since the job was done well, it didn’t matter whether Plants went to Astrisha, Banensha, or crossed the Senyu River.

‘Vice Commander Hertz, there was heavy drinking on Naeransha Street. Judging by the report that a mana wave was detected, it appears that a magic bullet exploded. But now, Vice Commander Plantz, no. His Majesty the Crown Prince and the Third Prince are outside the palace.’

In this situation, it was a bit of a problem that Crown Prince Plantz was outside instead of Vice Commander Plantz. It became a problem to the point where Balkan, rather than the capital’s guards, had to show interest and take action directly.

Arsene, who was looking at the three division commanders except Needlen, opened his mouth.

“What did your highness say?”

“I haven’t reported it yet.”

“why?”

“The commander is not here, but if your Majesty finds out about the situation, won’t you take action in Elazar’s direction?”

“It’s okay. There was someone else who saw it like that. I’m used to it.”

Kalian took a step closer

and quietly picked up the hairpin in Rashid’s hand.

“There it was again. It would be right to say that.”

“Was there?”

“There was.”

A harmless smile spread across Rashid’s face.

It was the same.

It was truly a strange, joyful, and disgusting feeling.

He was turning the hairpin in his hand around and examining it. Calian spoke again.

“In any case, it will be difficult to appease the Baron’s curiosity today. Because it’s difficult to find an answer. I think I’ll have to put my curiosity aside for a while.”

“It’s a shame, Prince.”

“I hope you don’t feel too sorry. Because my regrets will be just as big.”

“Still, I hope that one day we can exchange answers. Is that okay?”

“Well. How do you think?”

Kalian raised his head.

Rashid looked at Kalian.

“In any case, it seems the Baron was satisfied with meeting my person. I won’t get this back.”

Kalian slowly moved his hand. Then, he placed the hairpin that had belonged to Ayla back on Rashid’s left hand, then grabbed his hand and squeezed it into his fist. He picked it up because he liked it, so he held it as if telling him not to miss it

. I pressed the hand that was holding it tightly so that I could carve the broken hairpin with the broken beads into the deep wound caused by Aila’s dagger. “I already decided to buy a new one, so it has already become an unowned item.

”

It dripped, as if it were an answer to Kalian’s words.

The blood that had stopped in Rashid’s hand flowed again. Kalyan smiled, as if he didn’t care that his hand got wet with the blood as well. A smile filled with a harmless, fragrant

smile

. ‘It looked like I made it.’

Rashid glanced at his hand without changing his expression and raised his head. Then he smiled like a child who found a more interesting game. He smiled with a flawless and innocent face. “I considered it a gift and thanked it

. .........”

“How many times do I have to tell you before you understand what I’m saying?”

But like this.

Rashid was interrupted by a sound coming from the bottom of the building.

“But, Little Duke. There was a report that there was a suspicious explosion here and that we should investigate immediately.” ”

It’s okay to say it was an order from the Marquis of Briesen. I’ve already guessed it.”

“... That’s not true, Duke.”

“Didn’t you say that you would come out of the Balkans and meet them in person to hand them over? It’s not against the rules and procedures, so it’s hard to understand why they’re going to arrest this person.” They were

so focused on each other that they didn’t notice, and a commotion broke out.

The reason Aila came here was to chase after Gray. Isn’t that right? Gray must have confirmed that there was an explosion here. There must

have been enough murmurs to know what happened even if you just stood there for a moment. Who knows who is lying down now? Who saved him? Where did he get up? It’s not hard to know who went. Whose son might be involved in this?

Isn’t there a simple way to get Kalyan to step down from this position without killing Rashid? Just send someone to arrest Ayla and cause an even bigger commotion. That’s

why Gray summoned the capital guards.

Not knowing that this would mean nothing more than a slight disruption to the conversation between Calian and Rashid, he threatened to

arrest Demirea and Ayla, who were standing in front of Ayla. Kalian, who confirmed their confrontation, looked at Rashid. His words were half sincere and half ridiculing.

“I thought the Marquis cared about you. I guess I wasn’t wrong.”

I don’t know if that generosity was really affection.

Rashid smiled and nodded at what was said without this afterword.

“Yes. I guess the Marquis was very worried about me. It’s unfortunate, but I think it would be better to promise next time, Prince.”

“I think we should do that.”

“And I will not forget and keep the gift you gave me. Until next time.”

“Understood.”

We were both going to leave anyway.

Thanks to Gray, we only had less time to say a word or two, so there was nothing to regret.

So Rashid bowed deeply and showed his respect with an expression that showed no regrets. . Kalian also nodded lightly. After that, he used his magic power to wipe away all the blood around him, leaving behind only the blood that had flowed from Rashid’s hand. After organizing the surroundings, Kalian tried to go down using the back of the building

. I turned around.

‘......Ah.’

And then I saw

a group of knights and wizards coming towards this place from afar. A person driving a horse in front of them under a magic lantern that was brightly lit so that people wouldn’t be startled by the sudden appearance of an army. Anyway, I didn’t listen to my brother’s words. The face of a person eating a meal.

I looked at Planz.

The green eyes that found the same thing moved slowly.

I looked at my cousin who was approaching from afar.

“Ah. I never thought I’d see you like this...”

He seemed to have forgotten the pain that was radiating from his tight grip.

“Isn’t this truly a great coincidence!”

A joyful voice filled with small admiration came to Calian’s ears. The terrible scent of flowers. The smell of perfume filled with perfume spread along with it.
