How to Live as the Enemy Prince

utside.

I presume that it will be canceled anyways.

Calian was a bit sad to hear that.
He hadn’t been seen to the royals other than the first date of the festival.
He planned to meet them before too much time passed, but that plan was clearly off the menu.

Calian, in defeat of the situation, said.

“Go visit the master today.
When you go doesn’t matter.”

“Yes sir.
What would you like me to tell him?”

“Please tell him to ask the king to delay the meeting on Tuesday for about 10 minutes.”

Although Calian’s intentions were not clear to Yan, Yan didn’t ask for an explanation.

“Yes.
I will promptly go right after breakfast.”

Calian responded by nodding and didn’t say much more.
He got ready for breakfast and set out for the dining room.

Frantz was nowhere to be seen.
Calian heard how after the festival, he didn’t come to breakfast.

It was better off, Calian thought.
From today until Tuesday, Frantz shouldn’t mess up breakfast.

Calian, looking at the rain drizzling on the windowpanes, heard Randel getting up after he was done with his breakfast.

Calian, still looking outside, spoke.

“The roses will soon bloom.”

That was definitely a first.

It was a first that there was a normal talk going on at breakfast.
What was also a first was how Calian spoke to Randel first.

Therefore, Randel stopped and turned around.
He looked at Calian.
Sensing that, Calian now looked at Randel.

It somehow felt as if Calian looked at Randel’s eyes for the first time.
It was a different feeling than when the two met each other at the rose garden.

The pair of eyes that looked as if it was looking not at you, but at the soul.
Those blue eyes.

Calian thought he knew why Randel was staring at him like that, smiled, and opened his mouth again.

“I took a walk yesterday, saw the roses, and thought of how you cared for them.
There’s no other meaning to my words than that.”

Well, of course, those words weren’t completely without reason.

It was to garner attention.
That way, on Tuesday, Calian could be of help to Randel.

There wasn’t much of a response from Randel.

“… alright.”

Like he had done at the rose garden, only short conversations were exchanged.

Calian could hear Yan breathing.
When Calian looked back, Yan looked like as if he was in shock.
Yan then talked to Calian when he was leaving the dining hall.

“Roses…?”

Calian replied as if he was innocent.

“What about roses?”

“You’ve talked to Randel for the first time in 14 years! And you talked about how roses will bloom.
Why would you talk about such a meaningless thing?”

“Meaningless…?”

Calian’s face straightened.
Yan hurriedly covered his mouth.
Calian’s eyes moved to Yan.

“You’re getting more and more defiant of me these days.”

“Sorry.”

Calian thought as to why Yan was doing this.

Then, he suddenly coughed.

– Cough!

At that sound, Yan’s sad face turned into one with concern.

“Your honor…”

Calian replied as if he was alright.

“I slept with the window open last night.
Didn’t know it would rain…”

It was a lie.
At the pungent scent coming up his throat, Calian closed his eyes.
