How to Live as the Enemy Prince
I know it’s inhumane, it’s non-verbal, it’s unethical, and I know it’s hard to make that happen. Nevertheless, being human is so imperfect that it can be beaten by the heart, not the head.
I often think about things like this with little twist on the edge of reason.
In Allen’s mind, he sits blind to only one person, violent.
Can’t you just hit one real one instead of two?
«Why did you summon a foreign prince to the Grand Joint where the nobles of the center of Cairys gathered?»
«The depth of the thought is different from the depth of the conversation. Even I couldn’t help but admire the nobles.»
It is clear that every breath of Allan has a deep cold. Remain stood up to go to the banquet hall.
«That’s why you invited me, as if to see the gathering of the central nobles.»
«Yes. I have asked you to broaden your horizons, since the princes are with us, even though I have denied the invitation.» «
«You even sat me down with the specs on the pole.»
Of course, Remain was well aware of what Kalian was hiding with magic. Nevertheless, I did this. So he didn’t think about who was following him around because he was paying attention to inviting Chase.
Then Alan realizes that his dull, oblivious rival to Jan and his duo was Remain. He didn’t even know my son was dying, so that’s about it.
Alan nods, thinking about something alone and concludes, and looks at Remain.
«Congratulations, Your Majesty, by the way. But I have one more concern for you today.»
«I don’t know what else to say.»
Alan’s been very patient lately.
If Le Maine hadn’t brought Chase, she would have enjoyed the festival more peacefully than anyone else. Since I was interrupted, the patient mouth finally opened.
«One of the three princes needs to be sent somewhere far away today, so it’s up to you to decide which of the other two remains.»
Alan stands up, not joking, really angry. Then he pointed to Kaerra’s knight-in-chief Ren.
«I can’t go to an old wizard with four swordsmen, so you can take that man standing behind you.»
Then I walked out of the office.
Of course, Alan thought that Kiri would have told Kalian about the situation. So I was able to get through without any problems.
I only know one thing, and I think it’s time for Le Maine, who I don’t know anymore, to wake up again. I thought it would be a good idea to hit the back of my head sooner or later if I walked around without thinking like that.
«A knife to the throat. ‘
First Calian comes to mind, then Slayman and Evan. Lemaine sighs for a long time after he came up with the idea. That’s when I realized why Alan was so angry.
«Bring Prince Three quickly.»
For this reason, Remain has decided to remove it from Khalian, who is stuck between Tailan and Evan.
It’s a voice so small that only Callian can hear it.
But that was the thunder that tore the sky for Callian.
Nevertheless, one look in his face did not change.
The hand that I had placed on the table with just a clasp turned white.
After closing your eyes for a moment, Calian opens his mouth briefly.
That was all Callian could say. Now that Callian has not been able to deal with my emotions on his own terms.
‘Come to your senses.’
Calian glances back at you with a short sigh.
Randall is not here yet, and Plants has just arrived and is seated. Chase greets the nobles with a few faces at the entrance of the banquet hall, and walks toward Khalian with a loud footsteps.
And I had a little chat with Plants first.
It’s good to say it’s light. It’s just as hard as it is to look at each other.
Afterwards, he opened his mouth to Calian with a gentle face that was completely different from when he saw Plants.
«I see you again, Prince Kalian.»
Chase still has no idea what Kalian has learned.
Calian shuts up for a moment and looks at that face. Thinking about it, I didn’t think I’d seen his face properly. After staring at Chase for such a long time, Kalian opens his mouth.
«I hope to see you again · · · · · · ·.»
I haven’t spoken for a while.
The eyes of the nobles gathered to look at Kalian, trying to make a worthy rhetorical statement. Soon, Kalian adds a short note.
The nobles, who didn’t know how this came out, were just.
I had a look on my face.
It’s not like there are no horses around, but whenever I meet someone, I’m always happy to meet them. I turned my head, considering that the other person said it was a little longer than three other countries.
I don’t know what Kalian’s words mean, but I nod, smiling.
And I have delivered the answer in the same way that Kalian did the other day.
As Chase and the two princes were about to take their seats, someone entered the banquet hall. It was Raul, Grand Chamberlain of Remain.
The eyes of the nobles who would have been waiting for Remain’s position were restored. And Raul immediately approached Calian and said,
«Prince Kalian. The king is in a hurry to find you.»
Then he saw the nobles sitting at the banquet hall and spoke in a slightly louder voice.
«Your Majesty is a little late, so we should talk first.»
They were all central nobles.
So if I had heard this story last year, I would have heard it in quite a lot of places. After collecting all the nobles, he was sure to complain that he was going to be late.
But not this time.
They nodded with their faces to do so, and as they sat together, they began to talk again.
It seemed like nothing, but it was a really big change.
After checking the atmosphere for a moment, Raul gestures politely and points out to Calian.
I can’t say no to Remain’s call. That’s why Kalian nodded and followed Raul.
Plants turns his head to look at Chase across the street as he walks out. Callian is out, and Remain and Randel have not arrived yet, so they are sitting alone at the rounded table.
Chase’s gaze also lifted his head toward Plants. The two who stared at each other silently for a long time opened their mouths at the same time.
And we shut up together.
Soon, Chase shows a light gesture. It meant that we should talk first. Plants opened his mouth without specification.
«What brings you here?»
It was a quarrel again.
The three princes of Cairys’ personalities were very different and the second of them was the most fierce.
Anyway, what Chase was trying to say seemed to be the answer to Plants’ question. That’s why Chase just brought up his original story.
«Prince Plants doesn’t seem to like me very much.»
Chase gives you a gentle look, and one of Plants’ mouths rises. It was noisy around anyway, so there was nothing to hide since we were only listening to each other.
«I have more questions than that.»
«What questions do you have that make you so uncomfortable every time you face me?»
«I wonder what the three of you will do here in person. I wonder if I really came to see Earl Manasil.»
I’m here to see Alan Manasil, but Chase only met Alan this morning for a short while. If they had decided to stay for a full day, they would have to check that much, but the meeting was too short.
«That’s right. It’s a nominal thing.»
Chase smiles and surprisingly accepts Plants’ words.
«We had our own meeting, and it was nice meeting you.»
Somehow Plants thought it was a story about Calian.
I thought maybe Chase had a different memory, too, like Kalian.
As Plants stares at Chase with a slightly frowned eye, Chase looks around for a moment and opens his mouth to Plants.
«By the way, I hear Prince Plants has been quite enthusiastic about the cultivation of the Balkans recently.»
There’s nothing you don’t know about Cairis.
Plants responded with a different meaning of discomfort.
«I didn’t expect Cairys to have that much information flowing through Cecritia.»
«I can’t help it. The king is very fond of raising birds.»
Chase, who insisted that it wasn’t a big deal, mentioned the story that he had mentioned earlier with a quite meaningful face.
«Prince Plants is a very enthusiastic Balkan.»
As soon as I heard that, Plants’ expression hardened for a moment.
It was not something the prince of another country and Plants could comfortably talk about.
That way, Plants narrows his eyes.
And I stared at Chase silently for a while.
A new word came out of Plants’ mouth, not the original one.
«I did something. You know that.»
Both voices and titles changed.
I wonder who Callian told about my past.
Chase was a little surprised to see how Plants reacted when he thought about it.
«I thought I knew nothing, but I guess I didn’t.»
Perhaps Chase wouldn’t have been so relaxed if he knew how many things Calian had picked up. Anyway, I haven’t lost my spare time yet.
Either way, Plants didn’t ask Chase any more questions about what he did. If you were curious, you would have already asked Kalian. Even if Serenty wanted to come and tell us the future, why would he want to tell us what time he came back to the yard he hated?
Just like the day before, Plants looked Chase in the eye and said with one letter of strength.
«Balkan belongs to my brother. No need to worry.»
«You have to, you have to. Prince Plants.»
Chase replies with a soft face.
‘You said to go back to Chermill and rest.’
That’s why Kalian is so devastated.
I was treating Chase with all my heart, but I called him and told him to go to his room and rest. I didn’t know what I was worried about, but I had no choice but to let Mack down.
If I had known what they were fighting about in the banquet hall, I would have run away with great gratitude from Remain, but I didn’t know.
Anyway, Kalian decided to just walk to Chermill.
«I’m sorry I didn’t tell you in advance what the prince of Cecretia knew.»
«It’s not your fault. Don’t worry.»
As she looks around for a moment, Calian takes a big breath and opens his mouth again.
«Anyway, you’ve given me a good reason.»
Let’s go to the training ground together since we have time to rest all afternoon. That’s what Callian was going to say.
Then, suddenly, something comes to mind, and Callian stops.
«Justification. I was wondering what I didn’t have a cause for, me.»
«What do you mean by that?»
«Ah. Brother Randall suddenly asked me to take a walk, and I felt obliged. I know a little bit about what it was.»
You heard the conversation between Kalian and Randel, too. However, I couldn’t find any connection between Calian and the conversation, so I kept my mouth shut.
«Thirty synagogues you saw. The Tensylvania sent me as an excuse to say sorry and thank you, but that’s too much. That’s weird, because I was wondering if Randall suddenly called in his change of pace bag, and asked me where he was.»
Kiri knew about what Callian was talking about.
«I think he knew that if I put the Birch of Brissen out in front of me after the change bag, I would remind him of the former Queen and turn his attention towards her.»
«Are you saying that you mentioned something that the prince was sensitive to get his attention from the synagogues?»
«Yes. Aisha knew that the Queen had been killed by Brissen.»
If Randall knew that Aisha’s death was Brysen’s, he might have tried to keep her gaze on Lennon in words that would remind him of Aisha’s death.
«Looks like Randall gave it to me this time, the way I tried to distract Silica. Without a reason, I’m not the one who suddenly calls me up and asks me where Birkhoff Brissen is.»
So Renan is just bait.
«Let’s go for a walk.»
Kalian glances at the distant rose garden for a long smile.
It was the same smile that I saw in Randall’s mind one day.
How to Live as the Enemy Prince
The maids’ hands are busy moving.
The thick curtains opened and Asrai’s bright dawn sky lit up the bedroom. Immediately, the prince’s servant came and stood beside the sleeping bed, a boy with a still-faced face.
Do not touch the royal family when waking them up.
Don’t make a sound.
Therefore, the servant said in a cautious voice.
«Prince, it’s time to get up.»
It was a boy who sat up as if he was playing at the sound of the door always opening. But I didn’t think much of what was going to happen today.
In this thought, the servant received a small bell from the servant standing behind. Immediately, a faint bell rang to announce the early morning commemoration.
Then the boy’s eyes opened thinly.
The boy blinks for a moment and wakes up. The servant, surprised by the sudden movement, leans back slightly to greet.
«You had a good dream, Prince. You have to get up now.»
Then I handed the morning tea to the boy. It is because the boy has always been washed after waking his mind with the strong scent of tea.
When did I drink tea? ‘
Boy. No, Bern, thinking about this, unconsciously grabs the cup of tea and reaches out. Then I saw that my hands looked very strange.
Full of scars and calluses, white hands and long, thin fingers that were nowhere to go. Bern turns his head and looks at his left arm without even realizing it.
Not even a little scar on your skinny forearm.
No, that’s not the problem. The first thing I saw was my left arm.
«My arm was cut off.»
Bern mutters in haste. It was because a voice that was too intricate to belong to him leaked out.
«What a horrible thing to say. Did you have a nightmare?»
The destruction of Cecretia, what could be worse than that?
There was no time to speak back to the servant.
Why the severed arm is stuck back together is later. What we need to confirm now is the death of his brother and king, Chase.
Bern, the servant with the urgent expression, replied with a slightly strange expression.
«You’re both still in your rooms.»
This time, Bern looks like a servant. His brother was the only one, Chase.
«Prince Randall must have already got his clothes on. So is Prince Plants.»
Randall, and Plants.
A name that is unfamiliar but too familiar.
Especially if one of them is not the one who hates to be buried in the bone.
The King of Cairys, Plants.
Bern’s eyes narrow as he hears the name «cold,» even if killed immediately.
The acolyte who saw Bern opened his mouth again.
«Prince, you better get ready.»
He probably still hasn’t woken up. Here, the servant calls the maid holding the washing water behind her. Bern, who was watching, mutters as if to himself.
When his name is mentioned, the acolyte turns to answer.
A reborn arm and a new servant.
Bern says no more. I started thinking with my mouth shut.
I’ve never seen that servant before today.
I swear on Serenti’s name, I’ve never seen her before. But I knew the name.
Bern even ‘knew’ the names of the maids who were with him.
Without even realizing Bern was confused by this nonsense, the servant lowers the washing water in a flowing motion.
‘It’s a nightmare.’
Bern remembers the words of a servant called Jan, and takes his hand to the basin. The only explanation for the situation so far was that I had a funny dream.
Bern takes his face to the shining silver basin.
No matter how horrific the reality, I can’t believe I’m running away into this crazy fantasy. It wasn’t like that.
But when Bern saw the reflection of the water, he had to stop once again.
Red eyes on the water. It was not Bern’s.
Bern lowers his voice.
«You mean the mirror?»
Bern doesn’t answer.
Yan quickly apologized for making a mistake that I didn’t know because of his unusual appearance.
«Sorry, I’ll get it right away.»
Then he put his hands behind his back and gestured to the servants. It meant to bring a mirror.
There was no mirror in the prince’s room.
One of the maids who was standing behind Yan hurriedly ran outside and brought a mirror.
Jan who took it shines on Bern’s face, and Bern can’t help but face himself in the mirror with a thank-you note.
There was a young black-haired boy in the mirror.
Through the long forehead, two ruby eyes stare at Bern.
Bern raises his head.
A crest engraved on the bottom of the steward’s robe. It was definitely Cairys’. It was only after I saw it that the servant was calling himself the prince, not the king.
My lips feel like they’re burning.
Jan looks at the mirror without a word and calls to Bern.
‘No, I am King Bern.’
Bern recalls his name as if he didn’t want to lose himself. Then, as if someone was whispering back to him, a memory came to mind.
And a long name that I didn’t remember came out of my mouth without me knowing it.
«Khalian Lane Cairis.»
Khalian, the Third Prince of Cairys.
It’s not Bern, it’s my name.
Bern frowns. He then frowned and asked Yan.
«What did you say my name was?»
Jan smiles slightly, wondering if Bern thinks he’s joking.
«Prince Kalian. By the way, I am Jan, your acolyte, who needs to take you to breakfast right now.»
Then, as if waiting for Yan’s answer, unfamiliar memories poured into my head.
Royal Palace of Cairis, courtesy, weather, schedule, horseback riding, flower garden, magic, queen, king. And two brothers.
Jan is right. Don’t be late for breakfast.
His memory was chanting. Get up now. Don’t be late for the other two princes.
He quietly asked, now that his name is Khalian.
«What’s today’s date?»
«April 28th. It’s a beautiful day, Prince.»
Callian takes a moment to look around. Everywhere I look, I don’t feel like I’m at war with Cecretia. That’s why Callian asked again.
Kalian’s eyes widen.
If it is 522 years of Cairis, it is 525 years of Cecritia. It wasn’t the day he closed his eyes.
Ten years ago, and three princes of Cairys.
Memories of the other two princes that keep coming back as if they were preparing to leave quickly.
Yan, who can’t wait, stretches out his arm as Calian remains motionless. I was going to pick up my sleeve.
Then Kalian’s hand strikes Yan’s arm in a reflexive fashion. The arm in the thin palm of your hand rises red. Calian’s arm, which had not been used this way, also hurt awfully.
Jan said with a tear.
«Why are you doing this?»
«Oh, I’m sorry. I made a mistake.»
Jan quickly replies, surprised to not notice that Kalian’s tone had changed.
«No, Prince. You have to get up sooner than that. If you don’t, I will!»
Kalian shakes his head without listening to Yan’s words.
He said not to be later than his’ brothers, ‘so he decided to move first because of the memory that resonated in his head. For now, I thought I needed to get rid of that acolyte Jan.
Soon, Calian finished washing his face, avoiding the water. Callian, who woke up and hit both cheeks, said.
— You don’t sound right. I didn’t say that.
As I said, the memory came back to me again. Because of this, Kalian recalled his memory as if he were taking a breath.
«No, I’ll be ready. I’m sorry.»
«Keep apologizing even if you didn’t do it today. First of all, I’m going to get you some clothes.»
Yan says so, moving his hands toward the other two maids. Immediately, the maids with their hands full of branches came and dressed Kalian. Afterwards, another maid approached and began to brush her hair.
I could see his black head covering his eyes.
Originally, he liked to tie long blue hair together, so the black hair covered his eyes was stuffy. When I didn’t like my hair, I remembered why.
— Because Mr. Plants doesn’t like it.
His two older brothers, the princes.
Plants, among them, disliked this red eye pathologically. That’s why Kalian covered his eyes with his hair like this.
I can’t believe you’re blindfolded because you’re scared.
Kalian clenches his tongue without my knowledge.
‘I’ve heard enough, but this is a stupid life.’
Then I remembered someone who I didn’t even know existed.
‘Plants hated these eyes.’
Enemies in the enemy. Crazy King Plants.
He was the king of Cairis. No, it was ten years ago, so now it’s Prince Charming.
He was the one who led the attack on Cecretia.
‘Plants · · · · · · · · ·. I’m terrified that you’re breathing.’
I couldn’t get this hateful horse out of my mouth.
This is the royal palace of Cairis.
You still seem to be wandering around in your dreams, but you are now Khalian, the Third Prince of Cairis.
Because of this, Kalian repeated the same words in his mind dozens of times.
‘If you see him, don’t kill him now. I must endure it.’
Unless it’s a dream.
If it’s crazy, but it’s really back in the past.
Calian’s throat should not have fallen out of his hands as he makes swift movements.
There were maids who didn’t know that Kalian was thinking that way, trimming their clothes and arranging them for the last time. It is a thorough way to make sure that the person going to eat breakfast is ready.
I wondered how much I suffered from dressing like this.
Soon everything was ready.
Calian takes a small breath in front of the door and steps out. Then he went down an unfamiliar central staircase to the restaurant on the far right.
No matter how old I was on my way, I couldn’t remember. Did he live without even counting his age? After all, Khalian decided to use Jan’s help.
As Jan, it was a strange question. Yan answered the thought of asking really strange questions from morning.
«You’re 14. You still have four months left to become an adult.»
Somehow he seemed young.
Calian nods, thinking like this.
Yan gives a worried voice to Callian.
«Prince, did you see any novels about knights last night?»
He said it because his speech was different from his usual one.
The original Khalian was afraid to mount a horse.
But there was a riding lesson tomorrow. I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to follow the class, so I saw a novel about it and thought I was imitating it, and asked.
Callian shakes his head and replies.
«No, I care. No, I care.»
Callian immediately entered the restaurant.
There were only servants inside. There were no princely figures. Calian’s gaze reaches Jan for a moment.
‘As if you were leaving right away, you were in such a commotion.’
It was probably a lie to keep Calian busy so he wasn’t late for breakfast.
A round, large dining table sits by a large window. With King Remain’s recommendation, there were three princes having breakfast every day. It was also the worst place for the old Khalian.
One of the cafeteria’s servants seems to be pulling out a chair on one side. Callian sits down, knowing that it is his seat. Then I looked out the window at the unfamiliar landscape.
‘What a magnificent scale, as I’ve heard.’
With one of the four largest countries on the Continent of Cysteria, the Royal Palace of Cairis was also famous for its enormous size. Unlike the royal palace of Cecretia, which consists of one large building and two stars.
The royal family lived in six tens of thousands of buildings named «Palaces.» Other useful buildings, gardens, and man-made lakes were all within the palace of Cairis.
The Chermill Palace, where the princes now live, was not so great in the royal palace. Nevertheless, the man-made lake in front of the palace and the garden behind it were quite spacious.
The sunlight flashes through the window.
Seeing that, he paused for 10 minutes, waiting for the first prince Randall to arrive, and about 30 minutes later, the second prince Plants arrived.
Kalian’s eyes opened as she walked silently and saw the crooked plants.
‘What the hell is that?’
What the hell is that?
Kalian’s glabella frowns heavily as she sees an unimaginable look.
How to Live as the Enemy Prince
After checking for signs of a struggle, Calian immediately sent Kyrie to the territory.
Kyrie, who pretended to support as a mercenary, gave several Silver Coins to the most satisfactory soldier. We also heard about the five inexperienced Elves gathering in the temporary housing and the causes of the war.
«The Bricen Merchant Guild caused this.»
The Bricen Merchants Guild.
«It’s Lennon Brissen again.»
Kalian gives you a false sense of humor.
This is why I like to think that it can cause a fight between territories.
«The merchants around here are only Brissen, and the Brissen Merchant Guild said they would stop coming to this area because of the Latran territory.»
Kyrie continued to say:
Both areas were unable to farm wheat, so they were buying wheat and rye from the Bricen Merchant Guild. Then the Bricen Merchant Guild cut a deal on its own. At least there was wheat stockpiled in the territory of Nerica, so I asked him to sell some wheat in Sting, and Nerica called for a ridiculous amount. Due to this, the fight has led to war preparedness.
When Calian heard about the situation, he said that the word ‘wheat and rye’ is not something to worry about.
«We can’t stay long because we’re fighting when we run out of food.»
How can we continue the fight for a long time without wheat and rye in the courtyard of the hired soldiers as well as mercenaries?
After some insight into what was going on, Calian returned to Elf Village without taking any further action.
When he arrived in the room, he opened the door and woke up to Jan, who was sitting on the chair, greeting him. Khalian nods at the greeting, removing the prince’s seal.
«Bring me a letter.»
Yan, who went out with the answer, immediately returned with a few letters, a pen and a bead. Khalian wrote two identical letters in Yan’s presence.
It said, ‘I will visit soon, so please prepare me for my stay without any inconvenience.’
Jan saw it and became a little puzzled.
I don’t write letters asking me to treat them like that, even with my own seal. However, Jan stood quietly by his side and waited, because his expression was not so good.
He folds up the finished letter, puts it in an envelope and seals it.
«Sting and Nerica are at war in a day or two. I think the Elder asked me to stop it. Said you wanted me to find five Elves.»
«So you lied to the prince?»
«I see. I was fooled.»
Jan notices the situation and acts like the Duke’s son for a moment.
Surprised, Khalian closes Yan’s mouth and quickly picks up another word.
«The two lords seem to think I’ve already passed through here and are preparing for a fight, so if I tell them I’m coming, they’ll stop. Everyone knows that the Knights of Latran came to Kaerra, so you know there’s nothing good in stimulating me.»
Jan asks what made Kalian think of such a snobby letter.
«And after that? Even if you get a letter and put off the war, if the prince doesn’t visit you in time, he will try to fight again.»
«Five Elves will return.»
Callian smiles at Jan.
«The deal was to find the Elves, not stop the war. Fight or not.»
Callian walks to Jer’s house with two letters he just wrote.
When Callian reaches out two letters, Jer looks at it and asks.
Callian replies, sitting comfortably across from Jer.
«Send one to Sting and one to Nerica. Then the war will be postponed for about a month. The Elves have left the house. Of course they’ll come back. After that, you take care of it so you don’t go back out there.»
Callian replies, knocking on Jer’s desk.
«If only we could stay here.»
Jer shuts up, and Calian laughs when he sees it.
«But he’s still an elf. So I didn’t think so. You fooled two lords into knowing they were fighting.»
Kalian twists his head.
It followed a stiff voice that would fit perfectly with that look.
I learned that Elves can’t lie, not that they can’t hide the truth and not tell it. Jer’s mouth opened after a long time, telling him the truth.
«Are you sure you want to leave like this?»
«You asked me to find five Elves? That’s why I found it.»
Jer’s long ears turn red, whether angry or ashamed. Ger sprouts his mouth a few times but is unable to speak.
Kalian rises from his seat without any further delay.
Then he pointed his finger at the letter on the desk.
«That’s the price we’ve been paying for our drinks. We leave first thing in the morning. I don’t need a forest path or anything.»
Jer’s ears turn slightly red as he turns and walks out. When Callian arrives at the door, Ger’s voice pops out.
«You mean war is fine with me in your country?»
«They fight for a reason. I’m gonna talk to him.»
Callian raises his finger and points to the floor.
«If this place is so important, you keep it to yourself. Don’t try anything.»
After that, Kalian opens the door and walks away.
Jer stares at the door, forgetting his words for a while. It was because something too different had happened from what he expected.
After returning to the room, Calian sits still. Yan stood next to me worried because his expression didn’t look so good.
«Was there anything else bothering you?»
«Lennon Brissen. I don’t like the exclusivity of food deals in Brycen because he’s acting like this.»
«Is it because you lost your smuggling job?»
«Yes. If something like that happens, it’s not the lord’s hunger.»
This area is heavily mined and not fertile enough for large-scale farming. So the food must have relied on trade unconditionally.
«You shouldn’t play dumb with what you eat.»
Callian mutters, and you hear him knocking. Calian gestures to open the door to Jan, as it was clear without seeing who would come.
It was Jer who entered Calian’s room as expected. If I’m being precise, it was Jer who really changed his face.
‘You didn’t think that a man who would become a prince would just leave the war ahead of him.’
Ger hesitates for a moment, seeing Khalian like that.
Calian frowns after waiting for a long time without a word from Jer.
«Are you here to see my face?»
Jer bows his head.
«I’m sorry. I’ll explain. Just hear me out.»
Jer’s mouth is open.
It was a very cautious voice, which was very different from the first time I met him or when I saw him in Jer’s room a moment ago.
Ger told me what the Bricen Merchant Guild had already heard about Calian. Then he bowed his head again and said.
«Luca knew you had something to do with Latran. But I couldn’t talk first because this war had begun in Latran. I hid it because I thought if Luca was involved, she wouldn’t help me. I’m so sorry.»
Kalian doesn’t answer.
«No offense, but we could use your help. We can’t solve that problem.»
Kalian doesn’t give me an answer right away.
I kept my mouth shut and thought about it for a while. Jer looks nervously at Calian’s mouth.
Callian’s mind is constantly repeating only one name.
You turned your faction against Randall and caused trouble. You cut the deal at your own pace and started a war. Before that, Lennon was the one who wanted to get rid of Melpire Pollun for the diamond trade, and Lennon was the one who handed over the poison tacrimosa that Calian drank to Silica.
Keep going, keep going, keep going!
After a long time.
Callian says low and fast.
«I haven’t been to Nerica yet. Probably something like that. Go see if they’re getting ready for a fight there, too. If you’re right, just give me the letter. And I know what you need besides wheat. Then I’ll meet the lords.»
«You want to help?»
«Don’t get me wrong, I’m not helping the Elves.»
Lennon thought it was time to catch Brysen.
Either way, Jer’s face is glowing. Whatever it is, it’s what Kalian said.
«I hate playing in someone’s palm. And I don’t deal with conspirators. So do it right this time.»
Jer, who was so frustrated, went out to thank me several times.
The sun came out the window.
Calian spends the night awake. And then I contacted Alan. Either he was still home because it was early, or Alan replied right away.
— Have you been up all night?
Khalian sleeps quietly in the morning.
Because of this, I always stayed up all night when I was awake like the dawn.
— Yeah, I’ve been thinking.
Kalian nods. Alan is surprised to hear that. Kalian nods, thinking it was worth it.
— Are you sure you want to do this?
This is the first time Alan’s asked me this question. Kalyan smiles. He almost knows what he’s doing without seeing it. He must be leaning against the bed or the couch and rubbing his temples.
— Yes, tell the king. Ask Earl Brissen to tell him that Renan betrayed him.
— Are you sure you know what Renan Brissen meant by what he did with Tensyl?
After a long time, Alan said,
— I know there are risks to civil war and there are risks to a prince-to-prince war. And I know that Earl Brissen likes money.
I found out this time by looking at Hale Latran. After Hale handed over the money to the Marquis of Brissen, he decided to accept a gift from the Territory.
— So you’re saying he’s going to bribe Earl Brycen?
I recalled what Kalian had been thinking about all night and explained.
— Tell Earl Bricen, and if you can get Lennon out quietly without any other problems, I’ll buy you the Bricen Merchant Guild.
Alan didn’t say anything else.
Now I’m thinking about what Callian wants to buy. Followed by Calian’s explanation.
— When I heard that Silica poisoned me, the Bricene Merchants Guild was the biggest hit. Hale, who was dealing with Renan, was hit by it, so the Bricen Merchants Guild’s damage is more than you can imagine. There’s no way that Earl Brissen is going to want to keep hugging that troublemaker.
In the beginning, Brycen was a knight family.
It was the Bricen Merchant Guild that Lennon, who had no skill in swords, began making.
The late Evan Brysen, Renan’s father, would have remained in Renan’s trade ring for money. However, there was no way I could appreciate the merchant guild, which would not be worth the money or fit in with the sign of the knight family.
— It’s still the top of the Cairys. If it is said that the deficit will be severe, why do you want to buy it?
— You already have an operational candidate. Baron Pollun, the merchant merchant of the Pollun Merchant Guild, should be able to manage enough. If the Merchant Guild name is changed to Pollun, the nobles will resume trading, so the problem of deficiency will also be solved.
— It doesn’t matter who’s in charge. We are now preparing to purchase and build a site for the Wizard’s Valkan to use. Other than that, it’s not very expensive to get into Balkan maintenance. No matter how difficult the situation gets, it won’t be easy to raise enough money to buy a Merchant Guild in one Royal Court.
Callian told me that he knew what Alan had misunderstood.
— Master, you haven’t opened my safe yet.
Remain loved Freya very much.
After the death of Queen Aisha, Landel’s mother, Remain greeted Freya in the harem, giving Freya a fair territory. Silica has since entered the queen.
The dead Freya’s estate was inherited by Calian.
And the old Khalian did not spend his profits in the region. In the meantime, Calian didn’t spend a penny on the vault until he wasn’t curious about how much money was in the vault. All the money was piled up.
— Lennon Brissen. Now put it away, Master.
Whitrin, the largest wheat producer in Cairis.
How to Live as the Enemy Prince
Elder Ger grins as Calian changes his mind. After seeing it, Kalian feels a little embarrassed. Until then, I continued to be stiff and changed my attitude to the word forest path.
In the beginning, there was nothing to wrap up, as Jer sat down scared to finish what he said. Because of this, Kalian openly spoke to Jer.
«Yes. We do it because of the way of the forest, so you must keep your promise.»
«The king of the Humans has no secrets. Don’t worry. The Elves respect their promises.»
It was not because he said he would keep his promise, but because he had been very irritated by the title he kept on saying.
«Now that you’ve told me your name, don’t call me that anymore.»
Jer nods, smiling without saying anything else.
Callian asks for Jer.
«The missing elves. Anything I should know?»
«It’s all men’s elves from their early 20s to their mid-20s.»
«Not much against your knights, but somewhat.»
After hearing the story, Kalian seems to not understand a bit. It’s because no Elf who knows how to fight has come to look for Asia, who has been missing for a long time.
«Then why didn’t you find Sia?»
«Luca saw what you’re protecting.»
«Don’t you trust people too much? You said it was a son.»
Jer points his finger at his face and replies.
«I believed him because he wasn’t afraid of his face.»
When I first met him, I thought of the face of Asia who was terrified for a moment, but Jer continued.
«And all the young elves in this town are my sons and daughters.»
Callian hears that and realizes that there was a misunderstanding. The word «son» did not mean that he was his biological son. Kalian nodded his head as he understood it enough as «my little Territory.»
«Then what did that elf Luca say she was doing?»
Jer suddenly shakes his head and sighs deeply.
«I would have gone out to make money. I’ve been to Human Village once, and I’ve been seduced, and I’ve already run out of town several times to make money. But I’ve never come back like this.»
Kalian is missing the reason why you sold the sculpture and stole something that looked expensive. I mean, isn’t Luca the real culprit that got Callian involved in the Lat case? Kalian tells Ger the truth with a slight grudge.
«Did you know that the elf, Lucara, stole human goods?»
Then Jer’s face changed very severely.
Fair enough. When I first found out that the Elves had stolen something, Calian was a little surprised.
«If you come, educate me properly. My insides were pretty rowdy with that Elf stuff I stole.»
«It’s not uncommon for an elf to sell a sculpture anyway. We’ll start looking for him tomorrow.»
Then Jer raised his finger to the right and to the left, respectively.
«Once there are two cities on either side of the forest. It’s a city called Nerica and Sting, and it’s a little better if you start there.»
Khalian nods, remembering the names of the two places. Ger thanked you for your help and asked you to send another elf to prepare a place for the party to stay and dinner.
The dinner the Elves gave me was not bad.
I was worried that it wasn’t just eating raw grass, but it wasn’t at all. I was eating delicious orange jam on a sour, dirty black bread unique to rye, and it suddenly felt strange.
It was because of a conversation topic that began to be heard around Kalian.
Things that had happened in Latran recently have been on the agenda among the knights. It was something I didn’t want to think about, but Kalian couldn’t help but overhear.
However, the horse flowed in a slightly strange direction.
‘How can I shatter the sword?’
The debate about it began as if to listen to Khalian.
«You must have stopped the grenade.»
«There were no scorch marks on the sword. Besides, it didn’t go off. You saw it cut clean.»
It’s getting louder. Perhaps he wanted Calian to explain it to him himself. Calian only eats bread pretending he didn’t hear it.
The knights looked at Arsen this time because they didn’t seem to have a better answer for Kalian.
«What would you do?»
Calian’s hand pauses for a moment.
In fact, Callian was curious. The sword that was not broken in the past, no matter how many errors you used, was it not broken at once by Arsen’s hand?
Asked, Arsen focused his magic on the knife in his hand instead of answering. Immediately, the knife froze with a white frost, and a long gold coincidence with the sound of ‘fine’. Arsen looks at it quietly.
«Of course, you can’t freeze and break it this quickly because it’s different from how you refine a knife like this. But I’m still thinking about whether it could be destruction in a similar way.»
I guess I haven’t figured it out yet.
One of the knights burst out with a big smile.
«Breaking swords. If you’re willing, you’ll get the Sodmaster, too.»
Yeah, we got him.
While I can remember the name of the man Kalian just spoke, the eyes of the other knights reach out to him in unison.
Knights of Slayman. Even the word «sodmaster» suggests something about Kalian’s broken steel sword.
That’s why Kalian ate the bread once more, smiling naturally.
If you meet Slayman, you’ll see the error writing right away, whether you know it a few days earlier or not. It was like that.
Fortunately, the knights have been relentlessly following Calian around, never questioning the truth or pleading for a duel. It’s because Callian asked me to investigate on his behalf and sent him out into the woods.
That’s why the knights first examined the city in plain clothes without seeing Khalian’s face. The reason why Kalian didn’t do it himself was because he needed to look carefully first.
As soon as I heard Jer’s words, Calian thought it was Elven slave trafficking. He was a young, sturdy elf. Hearing Jer’s words, he knew how to fight, but he didn’t seem to have set sail. He thought he was a target enough.
If it was known that the prince was going to go out and investigate the trafficking of slaves by himself, it would have been obvious that he would hide or run away, so only the knights were sent out.
«There doesn’t seem to be any particularly slave trafficking going on around here. Those who seemed to be mercenaries were sometimes seen, but it was difficult to see that they were related to crime.»
After completing the investigation, the egg returned to the forest and said:
So the next day, Kalian came out himself. It was only with Kyrie who had not participated in the investigation yet. The knights who have already searched the town can recognize their faces, so they don’t go together.
«Which way do you want to go first?»
Kiri asked me after he left Elf Village. He asked Sting, who was on the other side of the forest and where Nerica would go first.
When asked, Khalian recalls what Jan explained. The two places were similar in size and the two city lords were of the same age, so they were very competitive with each other. Then, it was hard to choose which one to go first.
«Let’s go somewhere short of a name first.»
I didn’t have much to worry about.
If you start with the nearest, shortest name, widen your feet and you’ll see something. This was the idea.
I drove quietly through the forest for about two hours and arrived at Sting.
Calian straightaway puts on a robe and turns the hood over.
Sting was not a big city. It was significantly different from Latran from the distance.
Still, it was well-organized and there were more people coming and going than I thought. Looking at the colors, it didn’t seem very economically difficult.
Since the rumors of the Egyptians didn’t seem to have any particular problems, Calian decided to settle for starving ships first. Khalian looks at Kiri and says briefly.
«Meat. I want meat.»
Kiri smiles more clearly than usual. Meat is the first thing I’ve said to you since I’ve been so serious about it. Khalian pretends not to see it.
«Grab some meat, go to the weapons store, and buy yourself a decent sword. Then let’s have a little more tour.»
«Why don’t you get a better sword?»
«Do you need a better sword?»
«The usual Black Prince won’t be able to use it for long. It cannot contain errors.»
Kyrie was in a position to learn swords from Khalian.
That’s why Calian had to explain to Kiri how he could handle his errors, and Calian, who was not very good at hiding them, eventually shared some of his secrets with her. Of course, Bern and Kiri didn’t tell us when and why they died.
«You won’t be able to use it when you get back to the palace.»
This unlucky Calian raises his finger and looks up at the sky.
«I think the good stuff is going to fall out of there soon.»
Kyrie’s gaze was toward the sky, but the riddle was hard to understand. Callian moves Raven without speaking any more. It is because I did not feel comfortable saying something like a prophet that the right meteorite would fall at the beginning of the next year.
Anyway, after finding the restaurant and eating a lot of meat, the two of them went out and found the weapons store, and they had to look at each other’s faces and smile at what the shop owner said.
«There is no sword.»
«No sword. You mean it’s sold out?»
«Mercenaries? I think they’re young.»
The owner looked at Kalian and asked, instead of answering.
Khalian nods slightly, pointing in sequence at Kiri and himself, and gives a rough answer.
«This is the prosecutor and I’m the wizard. Anyway, I need a sword. How hard can it be to get one?»
Then the owner folds his arms and starts thinking about something. It seemed clear that the shape was agitated or not. Khalian, who knows very well what to do at this time, took out two Silver Coins from her arms and gave them to the owner.
The owner who took it was a little more hesitant, and only after he received another silver coin did he look around and say quietly.
«Seems like a lot of mercenaries have been gathering around here for quite some time.»
The owner nods. Then I opened my mouth with a smaller sound.
«Then two soldiers came by during the day and said I’d bring weapons tonight, so put them all away.» «
Kalian frowns slightly.
Somehow, the owner’s words continue as the bad feeling grows sharp.
«So if you’re a mercenary, go there.»
The owner who said that pointed somewhere outside the chin. Where his gaze reached, it was the lord.
Calian’s eyes light up slightly.
Two towns of similar size were nearby and were secretly gathering mercenaries, and collecting weapons in the city meant only one.
After eating a meal and finding out what the egg couldn’t figure out in three days, Calian bows down and scratches his cheek.
I thought I knew where the Elves wanted to make money and had a good fight. He seemed to know better that he had dipped his feet in strange things.
The village of Elves in Hirika Forest lies between the two cities. Of course, the Elven Village would be devastated if there was a fight between the two.
So we can see why Jer sought help from Khalian.
‘Prince Cairys, who came to Elf Village, asked me to stop the fight between the two cities.’
Kalian’s glabella, hidden under the hood, is deeply frowned.
How to Live as the Enemy Prince
Le Maine’s head returns to Kaera’s knights, standing outside the door. To instruct you to follow Kalian. Alan shakes his head.
«Leave it alone. The prince will be in trouble.»
«Hard is better than dangerous.»
Lemaine frowns and looks at this dead moon with a strange smile on Alan’s mouth.
«Rest assured, no one will dare attack Alan Manasil’s wagon in this Cairys.»
The safe bet is that Alan Manasil’s wagon is the best place to reach this Arfia palace.
He simply said that he would not be able to tell her that the carriage was safe.
«Besides, I’m following the hidden sword, so there’s nothing dangerous about it.»
Le Maine’s eyebrows move. He said he had an escort.
However, if you ask him about it in more detail, Remain pretended not to listen to it because he had to be disciplined for breaking the law.
«Yes. Let’s wait and see.»
After making a short cut, Remain’s arm points to the opposite couch. I’ve realized that I’ve kept Alan by the door. Alan, who was about to sit down if he didn’t want to, sat in front of him.
Remain stares at Allen for a moment, sighing deeply.
«I’m afraid he’s already done something big once.»
How he’s been so careless all these years.
Whenever Alan picks up one of the almond cookies, he suddenly swallows it with this thought. Remain stares at Alan’s mouth for a moment.
«Do you know why you left?»
Alan nods appropriately. I thought I would know.
«You went out with Falanfalan while asking about the magical institute in Libern.»
«Magic academy? Has he made up his mind to make it to the academy?»
«Maybe it’s a decision, maybe it’s not.»
Alan thinks of something for a moment, giving a vague answer. Then he asked a question that did not conceal the thorns.
«Even if the School of Magic were to be established, it would not help you. Talent is not created in a short period of time. Would that be of concern to you?»
Remain shakes his head and replies with a bold face.
«It sounds like you want to keep Calian’s power from growing. I already know he’s not a greedy kid for my position, so I won’t be able to resist Calian for that reason. Even if it’s not me, I’m just worried that there will be too many people to stop the day. Don’t look at him. He’s lucky to be next to Calian.»
It’s not Remain who doesn’t know why Alan’s on his side. I’ve been nailing him since the day he first came. I’m just cleaning up the house so that Calian can ascend to the throne.
«So, anyway, Perhaps you should accompany me to Roselita this time?»
He said that Silica was being quiet, but he was worried that something might happen to him on the long way to Siegfried’s territory. Of course, Alan did not fail to understand the mind of Remain.
As a result, Alan smiled softly and reassured Remain.
«The king’s neck is more secure than the prince who’s out there, so let’s put aside your worries.»
Remain silently wrapped around his forehead.
And I thought I’d let Callian come quickly and get rid of it.
Melpire suddenly wakes up and asks, thinking about what Kalian is waiting for.
«Has the prince come alone?»
«Yes, sir. Only two acolytes.»
Alone, in Alan Manasil’s wagon.
This is definitely a secret visit.
Melpire opens his mouth again with a nervous face.
«Have any of your servants seen the prince?»
«If not, he asked me to pass it on to him first, and he came to see me without seeing me.»
Melpire says that, and then he runs. The exhausted Chamberlain stood in his place and breathed, running back to where Melpire had gone.
Melpher rushes into the mansion to wash his hands, dust off his clothes, and head to the reception room. I thought about it, but I couldn’t keep the prince waiting long.
I see Jan and Kiri standing outside the reception room.
Melpiro left his butler outside and entered the reception room alone. Then Kalian sits with his spear back and holds up his cup of tea.
Melpire’s gaze meets Kalian’s waist and bows.
«Meet Baron Melpire Pollun, Prince Three.»
«It’s been a while.»
Callian smiles as he puts down his cup of tea.
Melpher lowers his waist a little more, facing Kalian’s right voice, as it was all about the first meeting, just whispering and passing by. Chan notices the reason for the overly polite greeting, and smiles silently.
He was a Polish merchant guild who had just started a diamond deal with Tensyl. So I was worried about what to ask for at the cost of my life.
«Sorry to barge in unannounced. It’s hard to reveal.»
In fact, it didn’t matter if Callian came to Melpir openly or to the palace. Who would stand in the way of the prince meeting the baron?
«I know you have been kind to me, but how can you apologize? I’m just indefinitely honored to be found.»
It was not for Calian, but for Melpire that Melpir was found in such a conspicuous way. Only the Wizard’s Association has allied itself with no nobles. If it was known that he and Melpire were to be separated, the attention would be focused.
Calian nods, pointing to the chair across from the table.
«Sit down. I need to talk to you for a minute.»
Melpire, a little more nervous, walks to Juju Island, sits down in a quiet posture, and his mouth opens.
«I think you’ve had a lot on your mind.»
Raven’s Necklace was about to be worthwhile, but Calian sent me the price of the necklace, as if he had completely discovered it. Since then, I didn’t know if I was angry or if I wanted to ask for something bigger.
In Calian’s words, Melpher replied without particularly denying it.
«Yes, Prince. I was worried because I had never received it because I was a natural merchant.»
«I like your honest answer.»
After a cup of tea, Kalian smiles and looks at Melpir for a moment. By the time Melpire faced that gaze and swallowed the dry saliva, Calian opened his mouth.
«What does Pollun trade?»
Melpire’s shoulders stiffen for a moment.
As soon as he answers, «Horse and Diamond,» the little prince will get up and go back to the palace. Because of that personality, I almost had to pay for the tea I drink now. That way we won’t get involved again in the future.
Melpire’s head starts to swirl.
Calian relaxes again with the scent of tea. As he passed another sip of the car, Melpire replied with a cautious voice.
«There are no trades yet, Prince.»
The smile on Callian’s face is young.
The Pollun Merchant Guild deals diamonds with horses, but Melpire Pollun has not yet joined hands with anyone.
The answer that Kalian expected, and what he expected.
Callian looks at Melpire, who puts down his cup of tea.
«May I speak with Baron Pollun?»
I want to deal with the talented Baron Melpher Pollun, not Melpher Pollun, the merchant who is well acquainted.
Kalian came to Melpire Pollun not to acquire goods. Bern, the knight, didn’t know anything about the Merchant Guild. I had no intention of making money by foreseeing things that were going to happen in the future. So I didn’t have to talk to Melpire, the merchant lord.
Melpire swallows dry water once more.
Melpire breathed out a habit without even knowing it, and looked at Kalian without an answer. Kalian tilts his head slightly and drinks his tea again.
The cup echoes once more, and Melpire’s mouth opens.
«I’ve been here since the beginning, my prince.»
«Good thing we don’t have to wait.»
Calian’s eyes glow with satisfactory light.
Calian says slowly, thinking it was a good idea to keep her alive.
Melpire sits down, followed by Calian’s words. However, it was a question that was a bit detailed, not specific.
«Baron has been wondering if he can run anything other than the Merchant Guild.»
Since Alan is a Calianite, I will speak secretly from what I want him to do, but Melpher hasn’t done it yet, so I want to make a decision first.
Melpire ponders for a moment and replies.
«If you have people, if you have money, you have no difficulties.»
«We have people, we have money.»
Callian pauses, then says again.
«But I’m sure Brissen’s there, too.»
As Allen speculated, Kalian is now thinking of setting up a magical institute. Of course, it may not be as dangerous as creating the Wizards, but I didn’t even know that something bothered me with Brycen.
Melpire squeezes his lips shut and asks.
«If Brysen is here, isn’t Prince McDreamy there?»
Callian smiles, a small voice.
«I asked a stupid question. That’s right, I do.»
«As long as you have men and money and Prince Brissen in front of you, it shouldn’t be too difficult.»
Since it seems that there is no need to continue the mystery of why you have come, Calian uncovers the matter without hiding it any longer.
«I’m thinking of setting up a magical institute in Cairys. There’s enough money to build a school, and they’re in charge of education, and there’s a lot of people to spend it on, either the sorcerer or Alan. Operation is a problem.»
The peaceful wizards couldn’t have run the institute properly.
Thinking about it, I remembered this good merchant, and I remembered the price of life I had not received yet. It was Khalian who came to Melpire this way.
Melpire bows without a word and starts worrying. Knowing that there is much to think about, Calian waits without haste. It was simply because Baron Melpire Pollun left running the academy to take the side of the three princes, Khalian.
Melpher raises his head and opens his mouth, as if to make a decision. However, something other than an answer to Calian’s offer came first.
«Is that the price of my life, Prince?»
I don’t know what you’re asking me to do to save your life. So whether it’s something you have to do, regardless of your will, I asked for it.
A smile flashes across Callian’s face.
«I’ve already received it, the price of my life.»
Callian answers, placing the last car that was empty.
Melpire’s gaze lingers on an empty cup of tea for a while.
Immediately, a cool laugh filled the reception room. It was a refinement for taking away the burden that had been on Melpire’s mind for three months.
Melpire bows once more.
In the restaurant at Chermill Palace, there were all kinds of red fruits and vegetables, including red-dried bread, pie filled with cherries.
The corridor surrounding the Chermill Palace is decorated with red thread, and around the man-made lake is a cluster of red Lapanian flowers. Flowers scattered in the wind float over the lake.
The Cairys did not distinguish between celebrating their birth and mourning their death. Just as I put red flowers in front of the dead, I gave red flowers to those who were born.
For them, red was the color that encompassed death and birth.
So that’s how individualized the wind is, Callian thought. You give the same color to the living and the dead.
However, we couldn’t change the tradition by not liking Kalian alone. As a result, Calian said he was thankful for the 15 Laflania flowers Merlin gave him after drinking pomegranate juice as soon as he woke up.
So today was Callian’s birthday.
It is an emotional day for the three princes of Cairys, who were both weary and full of horses, to finally come of age.
«Congratulations on your fifteenth birthday.»
That’s why I’ve been hearing this all morning. It took more than two hours to receive a congratulatory greeting and birthday gift from the nobles gathered in the Seño’s coffin. And at luncheon with those who were going on the Roselita journey, I proposed a toast that included a simple thank you and had dinner and tea for a long time.
I changed into a gown for dinner and headed to Siegfried Cave without any rest.
A black cape decorated in red thread reminds me of Calian’s appearance. It was obvious that Merlyn chose that color on purpose. The black jacket and trousers didn’t have any embellishment, but the visible cloak made no eye contact with the jacket or trousers either.
It was no wonder that the nobles’ gaze stayed on Kalian again, since he was still skinny with only one blemish. And he was the main character of the day.
«Nice to meet you.»
Callian greets you again.
After hearing the story that the nobles were having a hard time saying «Welcome to the meeting» at the first place, I kept saying that I didn’t mean anything by it. Then it became a habit.
Calian embraces the eyes of the nobles in one piece, and always takes the same ingenious steps to his place.
And, really, for a very, very short while, I stopped.
There was a plant that hadn’t illuminated for three months.
