Reborn as the Enemy Prince

Chapter 92. Punishment (1)

When the light sets, darkness must come.

Hina frowned for a moment, feeling as if it had become brighter.

The heat hits my face.

“Did you see this face?…”

Alan’s low muttering was heard as he clicked his tongue. Kalian didn’t respond to those words, and Hina slowly opened her eyes again and looked around.

It was just as Alan said.

The situation created by Zeon’s fake Aurors, who had invaded a place where there were no proper troops or wizards, was truly dire. It was a cruel and miserable sight. There were injured people of unknown severity here and there, and bodies were everywhere you could see.

It was only natural that they warped straight into the castle where the fight had taken place.

-…… Let’s go.

Hina took a step.

Before she knew it, a bright light was circling Hina’s fingertips.

Kalian grabbed Hina’s wrist again.

“I didn’t bring you here to treat me, Hina.”

Hina lived a life of ignoring the injured rather than treating them. To put it bluntly, Hina already knows full well that fights will break out everywhere, that everyone will die at the end of the fight, and that she does not have the obligation to save all those who will die just because she has healing powers. Didn’t he say that the day he said he wouldn’t treat Devlan?

So it was stopped. Hina wasn’t the type of person who would rush out as soon as she saw the injured without even having time to look at the situation, but I saw her moving around without even knowing why she came here.

“There are therapists here too. I didn’t bring you here because you needed it, but because I was worried about Kirie. If you don’t do anything, I won’t bring you here for no reason, so if you want to treat me, do it later. That’s okay.”

I was worried about Kirie and got scared.

So, I first prevented him from acting differently than usual.

-Tuktuk.

After tapping Hina on the shoulder a couple of times, Alan looked at Calian and said.

“How much can I help you?”

Calian closed his eyes for a moment.

And he called out someone who was not present.

– Demirea.

– It is said that tolerance has been reached. Should I go in?

The answer seems to have been waited for.

– no. Block it from the outside. Please change the command.

– All right.

Calian raised his head. And I looked north, as if looking beyond the castle.

Since I warped to a safe place, I know that the surroundings are quiet. However, a calm voice was addressed to Alan, as if he had no idea that the fight was still going on at this very moment.

“It looks like a lot of people are gathered in the northern part of Naeseong. Is that correct?”

“That’s right.”

“Please tie up Fabian’s troops over there.”

“All right.”

“You can eliminate all troops related to Xeon, Marquis Manasil.”

“Shall we capture him alive?”

“Only two people. Please save them.”

Regardless of whether it is Calian or Allen, it is a task that can be handled by just one person.

“That’s right.”

On such a matter, Alan deliberately asked for his opinion, and Calian deliberately gave an order. As the third prince who set out to rescue a brother whose safety was threatened, not to the commander of the Balkan corps, but to Marquis Allan Manasil. Because it is difficult for Calian to take full responsibility for the actions of the Balkan corps commander or his own magic teacher.

Alan looked at Hina for a moment with a worried face, then moved his hand.

– Sigh!

There is a cheerful sound.

With that, Alan disappeared.

– …… Wow.

The task is to find every single Zeon who has invaded the inner city and kill them all. Calian, who had entrusted Alan with a task he could do very well, looked up. Before doing what he had to do to find Randel, Siona, and Kyrie who were somewhere here, he made a shield.

A shield filled with the gentle breeze that had been deliberately created surrounded Hina. It masked the endless smoke and the smell of blood seeping in.

After that, he quietly lowered his eyes and looked around.

I was standing in the middle of a place filled with dead bodies, injured people, and burning buildings, with Hina, who I had brought with me, behind me. My ears caught a scream that began to come from the north of the inner city and then suddenly stopped as if it were a lie.

“You don’t have to be scared of me, Hina.”

I spoke.

– Ugh.

– Ugh…….

The red blade sparkled. Countless red auras are created, like the eyes of wild beasts in the dark. It floats in the air.

-Ssam!

-Ssssssssssssssssss!

And soon they started flying all at once. Towards the necks of those who were hiding inside the castle and looking outside, towards their hearts.

* * *

I’m not doing it.

It’s not that I can’t do it.

‘Bern.’

‘yes. majesty.’

‘I saw Arianne briefly yesterday.’

‘Arianne must not have been sober for a moment yesterday.’

‘……That’s right.’

‘I carried him beautifully on my back and let him sleep well in secret at my mother’s villa. How did you feel about it?’

‘I went to say hello to my mother.’

‘ah.’

‘But Arianne said something to me that I had never heard before.’

‘Did Arianne curse at you while she was drunk? No, because you did something wrong.’

‘……Bern.’

‘yes. majesty.’

‘Who on earth did you learn those words from?’

‘It’s Kiri.’

– Kagagang kaang!

– Kang! Kaaaang!

‘There is no way that child will say a swear word when he sees you.’

‘I take good pictures of other articles in front of me. I also capture it well with people who see me at the bar. Oh, he did it to me once too. On a day when I couldn’t tell whether swearing or my fist hurt.’

‘So give it to Arianne.’

‘Whether it’s with a sword, with your fists, or with your mouth, shouldn’t you win and live with one thing? ‘She might become a queen in the future.’

‘Bern.’

‘yes. older brother.’

‘… Go out.’

‘I understand, Your Majesty.’

Kirie didn’t know it, but it was like that.

It’s not that you can’t do it, it’s that you don’t do it, and that’s what Bern learned. Bern learned many harsh words from the knights, but he learned the true extreme of harsh words from Kirie. I really worked hard and learned it step by step.

That was Kirie, so is there any difference now? It was the same. Strangely enough, Calian was the one who was the first to say what he wanted to say to the guy in front of him, and he was naturally reticent, so he just kept his mouth shut and didn’t say anything harsh.

The place I stayed with Hina before meeting Bern and Kalian was a rougher place than any horse in the world, wasn’t it?

– Kagagak kang!

Rather than saying I grew up in such a rough place, I went through a time where I should have survived. Because I survived and persevered in a place where I couldn’t lose no matter what.

“It’s not the Crown Prince who grew up beautifully, and it’s not the King Je who left no trace… Then who is it?”

“개새끼 조련사.”

– Kagang! Kang!

We faced each other in a life that was harder than words. Looking at the green eyes of the Kalian of one day, which looked like lettuce that had frozen and thawed, the light green eyes of the Kalian of the past, which were like peas, shone.

Then Rashid Briesen, a green-eyed man who seemed more curious about who was standing in front of him than the immediate sword fight, stretched out his sword.

“There are things I know and things I don’t know.”

Then, he roughly made up Planz’s appearance and sent his horse and sword towards Kyrie, who was standing in front of him.

– Boom…!

– Kagagak!

A gray sword completely immersed in darkness, not only its shape but also the direction its tip was facing, was pointed at Rashid. Rashid blocked Kyrie’s attack with a light swing of his arm and extended his remaining arm toward the floor.

– Bang!

-Ssam!

A dagger stuck out from Rashid’s sleeve. Rashid, without wasting a moment, swung it.

– Whirr!

I was already able to follow the movement with only my excessive hearing. Therefore, Kirie quickly twisted her hand and deflected the attack with her wrist to avoid it.

However, Rashid’s hands were faster than expected.

-……Suddenly!

One of the two bracelets on Kyrie’s wrist was smoothly cut off.

– Tuk!

– Rumbling…….

A bracelet with a small pink magic stone. The communication device connected to Hina, replacing the disguise bracelet, breaks and falls to the floor. Blood dripping from a short cut wets the bracelet.

Rashid, who noticed that Kyrie’s appearance did not change, grinned. And then I put my sword back and took a step away.

“It’s a shame, but I still know who it is.”

– Kaang!

Then, with one arm, he struck away Kirie’s cool sword that seemed to cut out his heart and continued speaking.

“The 3rd Prince’s Mop.”

– …… Ugh!

– Kaang kang!

In the darkness where you shouldn’t be able to see even an inch ahead, the red light of the aura is dazzling. Rashid’s excited face was noticeable, as if he wanted to check if the answer was correct. There was no way I could ignore that excitement. Kirie gave a small smile.

“It’s my first time hearing this nickname.”

“It is said that Prince Calian cleaned up the filth from the gambling hall without even using his hands, so I thought about it and built one myself. You will continue to do similar things in the future, so wouldn’t it be a good thing if you learned that fact now?”

“Have you worked in vain?”

There is already a more plausible nickname.

A loyal follower.

Should I give that explanation or not? Kirie, who had been thinking for a moment after hearing the new nickname and feeling infinitely generous, lowered her gaze. Thanks to my keenly enhanced vision, I could see a bracelet stained with red blood.

Thanks to this, my heart becomes a little more generous. So, I was wondering once again whether I should explain it or not.

“You can’t get the prince’s hands dirty, so cleaning up the trash is something that anyone can do. I don’t know why you’re saying such obvious things.”

– …… Tuk.

I silenced my voice.

He said as he slowly stepped on the floor.

“I wish you would first learn what it’s like to be the only sword in Prince Calian’s hand. It’s a shame to watch.”

Teachings packaged with a sharp edge and vague advice that can only lead to violence when given arbitrarily to an unsolicited person.

I started returning those things to Rashid.

– …… Tuk.

The gray sword, which would not be darker than the world’s shadows, disappears. The light green eyes reflected in the fluttering red aura disappear before my eyes.

Inside a long and narrow secret passage. Kirie, standing in a place where it would be difficult to extend her sword comfortably, sped up without hesitation.

– Kaga River!

Rashid, who had only come to meet Planz with a happy heart, raised his sword. Long sparks flew out again, and the two swords fell violently and intertwined strongly again.

Kyrie’s sword, which blocked Rashid’s sword, disappeared. Kirie, who was holding it, also disappeared. Then Rashid immediately extended his sword towards my back.

– Swish!

– …… Kaaaang!

Sparks fly once again with a heavy hitting sound.

It is a narrow place where if you move your sword incorrectly in any direction, it will immediately get blocked by the wall, creating a gap. Even in such a place, Kirie moved her body and extended her sword without hesitation.

Rashid recognized that it was the same sword technique as Kalyan. It is clearly visible that he is using Calian’s sword techniques exactly. As if the day to take the path of the sword was approaching, he was following along at such a fast pace.

– Ugh, wow!

After confirming this fact, Rashid tightened his grip on his sword. Now that we have finished greeting each other, there is no need to continue the fruitless fight of words.

– Kaang kagang!

– Kagagak! Kaaaaang!

Rashid held the sword handle upside down so that the blade was toward his elbow. After that, he swung briefly towards Kirie’s neck.

Kirie, who avoided the attack by leaning her upper body back, stretched out her feet. He kicked Rashid in the solar plexus, not forgetting to estimate the length of his arms and legs, which had also decreased in order to fit Planz’s body type.

– Pow!

A dull sound echoes through the narrow passage.

Because of the shock that could not be ignored, Rashid’s dagger, which was about to slash Kyrie’s shoulder, cut through the air. Kirie, who did not miss the opportunity, swung the handle of the sword and struck the face of the dagger.

– Taang!

– Kang!

Rashid regained his balance and adjusted his grip on the dagger. It was a dagger that he took out to cut off the bracelet and get rid of his disguise, but he did not throw it away. Because it is much more convenient to use a short sword together than to constantly use a long sword in a cramped space.

– Shhh!

Rashid twisted his back. And with fluid movements like flowing water, he quickly approached Kirie. He raised the returning gray sword with his own sword and rolled the corners of his eyes.

Rashid straightened the dagger he was holding behind his back and lifted the short blade at lightning speed. I swung it without any hesitation. Because their swords were touching each other, they slashed Kirie’s thigh, which was unable to move.

– …… Kwasik!

I hear a cool sound.

Rashid’s smile turns a little darker and Kyrie’s face hardens a little.

– Tap tap.

– Tuduk… tuk.

A little darker and redder blood than before falls on the fallen pink magic stone bracelet.

– Kaaaaang!

The reason Calian’s swordsmanship is so scary is because you don’t know which side the sword will come from. If you find it difficult to deal with silent attacks in a dark and narrow place, you can just tie your feet.

For that reason, Kirie, who had been deeply stabbed in the leg by the attack, swung her arm. He strongly pushed his own sword, which was blocked by Rashid’s long sword, and then struck down immediately.

– Taaat!

Rashid twisted his shoulder to avoid the attack. Kirie took advantage of that gap and took a step back. And without a moment to catch his breath, he firmly grasped the dagger stuck in his leg and pulled it out without hesitation. If you delay even a little bit, Rashid will rush back and try to wrench the sword away.

– Wow!

– Patter!

A momentary fishy feeling fills the narrow passage.

“this.”

Rashid, with a somewhat regretful look on his face, held a sword with both hands to replace the missing dagger. Kirie saw this and held the dagger she had just drawn in one hand and her gray sword in the other hand. I took a step.

– Thick!

A sharp pain welled up in my leg where the blade went in and out. Kirie frowned once again and stopped in place because she was different from Eila, who had to learn to be patient, and Kalian, who had to know nothing but how to be patient.

“I don’t plan on wasting time getting stranded by the wrong person. Let’s finish this quickly.”

– Taaat!

Rashid, who spoke, kicked his foot.

– Shhh!

– Kaang kang! Kaga River!

He extended his sword towards Kirie, who had lost her speed.

– Thick!

The pain flashes before my eyes again. It wasn’t something she had experienced once or twice, but Kirie looked ahead, struggling to look away from the sensation that there was no way she could get used to it. I bowed my back. I dodged Rashid’s flying sword.

– Kagang!

I turned around, stepping on the floor with my uninjured leg. Unlike his legs, he moved his healthy arms to block the swords that repeatedly came at him. He held the gray sword, which he had been holding with both hands until now, in one hand and let go the attack.

– Whirr!

– Kang kaaang!

As if it didn’t matter that the direction had changed, the sword stretched out and tried to cut off Rashid’s head. Before Rashid knew it, the dagger was heading towards Rashid, who had raised the handle to block the attack. After flicking it away, Kirie twisted her sword again and slashed the gray sword. As I block out such an attack, Kirie’s dagger, which has gotten closer, comes crashing down in front of my eyes.

– Kaaang kagagagak!

Rashid, who took a step back and raised his head, took advantage of the moment when Kirie’s sword stopped hitting the wall of the secret passage. Kirie’s movements were engraved in his eyes, which had already become accustomed to the dark.

– Kagang!

– Kang kaaang!

The way you step has changed.

My body movements have changed.

It’s clear that your leg is injured. why.

– …… Thrilling!

Kirie gritted her teeth.

Even if I wasn’t used to it, it was true that I had experienced it often, so I decided to endure it one more time. In that state, I applied different strength to both arms.

Rashid’s eyes narrowed as he looked at it.

The angle of arm extension changed and the center of gravity on the sword shifted. The way he held the sword changed. The speed of the gray sword decreased and its power increased. The power in the dagger decreased and its speed increased.

– Scum!

– Kaaaaang!

Learn and practice Calian’s swordsmanship and deal with Plantz’s swordsmanship and correct it. Wherever you look, you can see how he was handling a sword that wasn’t his, but he didn’t forget to practice it.

Holding the same weight as Sinastar in one hand and the lightness and speed of the red Auror sword in the other. Even though I held one in each hand, I worked hard not to lose anything.

However, I was momentarily disappointed that I would not be able to use the other sword this time as I had to hand it to Randel.

-…… Wow….

Kirie’s swordsmanship.

Kirie gave strength to the swords in both hands, as if re-inscribing the sword skills she had worked so hard to learn.

– Ugh…….

– Ugh!

The gray sword and dagger each held separately had a deep blue glow.

It opens its magnificent maw towards the first person it meets. It opens its eyes and emits light as if it is staring at its first prey.

I rushed back towards my first opponent.

– Kaaaaaaaa!

‘The only sword in Calian’s hand’ finally began to shine.
