How to Live as the Enemy Prince

Yeah, there was definitely something wrong with his body.

"At first, it was because I had only stepped forward, and after I felt my heart ache, I thought it was Mana's problem. I was worried there might be something wrong with my heart."

I guess that's not all.

"So this must be the antidote."

"Yes. I made it fast, but I've confirmed it's detoxifying, so you'll be better by the time you've finished it." Then I'll show you the prince's magic from then on. "

I didn't know Calian's gaze fell out of his medicine bag.

Alan stares at Calian like that and starts explaining things as if he was talking about a third party, not a Calian.

"Takrimosa is poisonous. In a few poisonous herbs, we mix the blood of a snake called Cremosa with poison. If the prince who had been healthy until yesterday suddenly died, it would be strange, so he wanted to slowly make it look like he was sick. However, the dizzy poison will be cured with the power of blessing, so it must have been a constant ingestion of a small amount of poison."

So cruel.

Callian was only 14.

All I did was resemble Freya.

"To do that, you would need to be able to easily produce symptoms that are similar to disease, with no fragrance, no taste, no reaction to silver, and a large amount of food for a long time. It's the poison that fits your symptoms and those conditions."

Kalian bows his head again without answering.

Alan continues to explain. What he was talking about was the information he learned by sitting on the Wizard's Association building all day long and stirring up wizards living in Teenaxia.

"Without the power of blessing. No matter how little you eat, you cough like you have lung disease and you vomit blood within a week. It must have been hard on your heart to heal such a poisonous thing. So it felt like the healing was gone, and when you tried to use Mana, you had a rejection reaction. I'm already struggling, and I'm going to try again, so I'm outside screaming that I'm sick."

Kalian stops trying to close the pouch and misses him. As a result, several pills fell on their knees. Callian quickly picks it up and puts it back in.

The fingers you pick up are trembling.

It was not because of fear. It was anger.

'Callian was clearly assassinated. It wasn't poison. I wasn't poisoned because I couldn't use Mana in the first place. That's why they poisoned Callian in the past.'

Another question led to an unbearable anger.

"· · · · · · · Why."

Callian looks at Alan, holding his pocket tightly in his hand.

Why did you strangle a dying child? '

Alan's shoulders twitch.

It's because I've seen a lot of red eyes. It disappeared without a trace as if it were soon as possible, but it was definitely not the eyes a boy could have.

"I'm sorry, Master. I didn't think about it at all."

In Calian's words, Alan replies, trying to get the look out of his head that he just saw.

"· · · · · · Not just a blade that flies in front of your eyes. Sometimes the unseen is sharper."

Callian engraves Alan's words deeply.

The Swordmaster does not harm the poison. I was cautious.

Bern has experienced a battlefield full of assassination attempts. But I was cautious.

'I did not suspect addiction due to the fact that they were strangled.'

I did not think of poison despite the obvious symptoms.

It was a big mistake that no one else should have done.

"You are severely addicted."

"I felt like I was doing it tomorrow."

Calian smiles freely. I asked Alan, feeling relieved.

"Would it still be worse if we took the poison and the antidote together?"

Alan's expression distorted.

"Don't do that. It will slow down, but in the end, it will be dangerous."

"How long will it take?" "

"I'm not a healer, so it's hard to say. Ten days, maybe a full moon."

Kalian looks satisfied.

"If it's that slow, that's enough. I'll eat with you."

"Are you seriously going to give me the poison and the pill?"

Whether it's insulting, half-assed, respectful.

"Yes. If it's more than just your body, you have to be careful with poison. I can't refuse to eat right now."

Callian looks at Allen's worried eyes and says,

"I think it's tea I drink every morning. Other than that, I didn't eat the same thing every day. However, I always drank it in front of everyone. I don't doubt the maids, but I don't think we should overlook one case."

Maybe, really maybe.

'Calian might have noticed that he was slowly becoming addicted. Maybe he refused the poisoned car.'

If Silica knew that Kalian had been poisoned and found out, she might have sent the assassin to a dying child. That's what Silica would have done.

'From now on, if I bite the car, I will immediately use a different method. Since my situation is different from my current situation, it is hard to be sure what they want to kill me with.'

Alan opens his mouth to Calian, who cleans his mind.

"My prince, if you don't have the evidence to catch the culprit, don't worry. In recent months, evidence has already been gathered from the Brissen Merchant Guild that they have been wearing leather, and the Wizard Association is still investigating in many ways."

In just one day, Alan has learned so much.

"Thank you, I'll leave you with the last card. But that's not enough to catch silica. We have to find another way."

Not only that, it is amazing that we have gathered the evidence. Calian laughs, not knowing how many wizards have been mobilized to find out this much.

"Till I figure out a way, Silica won't know I've been poisoned by the car. But I drank the tea in front of all the maids. There's no way to throw it away without eating it, so even if you take the antidote together, you have to keep drinking the tea."

"Also, Jan and the other maids get hurt if they find out that there was a problem with the Morning Tea. You've been giving me poison for so long, it's not going to go away."

"The baby elephant should be fine."

Alan mutters to himself, and Callian bites back.

"Yes?"

"No, but how can you trust that acolyte?"

In response, Kalian raises his hand, pointing to his face.

"I can't lie. Here, it's all over my face."

Then I looked at my right palm. There was a small, but obvious scar, and it was an injury from the work with Plants.

I remembered Yan holding his hand and crying like a child.

"And just... I believe."

Alan nods silently.

Kalian speaks.

"It's not a poison you need to use for a day or two, so you might as well be aware of the possibility of Silike being discovered. Nevertheless, we have a clear way of getting out when we are caught. He even told me that he was going to kill me."

Renan reminds me of Silica's attitude at the dinner with Birch of Brissen. It was definitely not going to take.

"I can't catch Silica, I just lose my man. Rather, they're going to frame me, and they're going to drive me. It can be difficult to prevent an assassin from becoming infected or exposed to another poison."

Alan sighs deeply.

"So I'm going to eat with you until I have a proper hand, at least until I figure out a way to make you give up poison completely." After that, you have to stop the visible knives from flying. "

Alan looks at Calian with a complex face.

Calian smiles and picks up an antidote.

"Well, thank you."

Then he reluctantly swallowed it up and into his mouth. Alan sees it and raises his eyebrows.

"I told you to doubt and eat. What if it really is poison?"

"Then there's nothing I can do. It means that my teacher didn't believe me as much as I believed, so it's my fault that I didn't."

Alan smiles bloody and says:

"You talk too much."

"From the mouth of Alan Manasil."

Kalian replies with a proud face, as if he had listened to a compliment.

Allan looks at Calian and asks, "Quiet for a moment."

"Yes. What else can I do for you?" "

It was too much to teach her how to live, but she still needed Alan's help. Callian replies in a quiet voice.

"Tomorrow evening, take me out of the palace once."

I could have done enough.

Alan nods.

"I'll take you several times."

* * *

- Glug.

You throw the pouch of medicine in your hand up slightly to catch it, and the antidote rolls.

After Allan's return, Khalian has not fulfilled his promise to Jan for the first time. I was deep in my thoughts, touching my pocket without even touching my lunch.

Jan looks anxious to learn that the conversation with Allan is related to her health. Nevertheless, I stood beside him without saying anything.

Glug.

The medicine pouch echoes again from Calian's hand.

"· · · · · · · · yarn."

"Yes, Prince."

"In ten days, are the nobles going to attend?"

"There have been a lot of interruptions with the nobles during the month before the festival."

That's a relief. Calian nods.

"What specifically?"

Yan looks down and organizes her thoughts for a while, whether she is contemplating Calian's schedule for a moment. Then I started listing from the nearest one.

The schedule of going out to the palace and the schedule of going inside flowed like a flood. After hearing Yan's words, Kalian looks bored.

"There are so many! '

Calian raises his hand slightly to stop the explanation.

"Enough. That's enough. Thank you."

"Yes, Prince."

Now, Callian was thinking about how to get Silica to give up the poison.

While I was talking to Alan, there was one way I could think of. That was the only thing Kalian could try in ten days. So I told Alan I was going out of the palace, and there was a timely meeting with the nobles.

It was just a dangerous way.

That's why I had so much more to worry about.

- You have to walk mine first to get your opponent's Hand.

Suddenly, what Devilan, the father of Bern, now king of Cecritia, said came to my mind.

'That reminds me. Father.'

Thanks to this, Kalian finally decided to take the risk.

Then I stood up and looked at Yan.

Calian smiles and sits back on his seat, with his face engraved with the words, "Can't we eat?" Then I put the pouch in my hand on the table.

Glug, the sound echoes once again.

Jan's gaze naturally shifted along her pocket. It was obvious that you were very worried, so Calian cleared up a little bit of the truth and explained.

"Medicine. It'll be better by the time you finish it. Don't worry. But the thing about this is,"

After Calian stops speaking for a moment, Jan notices his intentions and replies first.

"Yes. I won't talk about it anywhere else. Don't worry."

Is it quick to see or slow to see?

Callian grins and starts a late meal.
