How to Live as the Enemy Prince

as holding.
Alan, after taking a brief look at that, said.

“Eline doesn’t look into those kinds of things.
You’re working hard.”

It could be taken as a sarcastic statement, but it was clear that wasn’t Alan’s attention.
He could see it after he was talked to sarcastically so much on the first day they met.

Rumein, after thinking of the king for a while, straightened his back and sat in an upright position.

“I’m not as calm and tranquil as that woman.”

Then, he walked towards the couch with the packet.

“Please, sit.”

Alan, after nodding, sat on the other side of the couch than Rumein, and two servants soon came in with tea and dessert.
Rumein briefly swirled the tea around his mouth and swallowed it.

“I heard you were out.”

Alan thought of the day he and Calian went outside the palace.

“Oh, he’s of the age that wants to go outside.”

“Is he that well?”

Rumein was asking if Calian was rid of poison.
Alan shook his head.
He couldn’t go into the specifics, so Alan just briefly said.

“It’s at a state where it’s not yet dangerous.
I’m still looking at it.”

“So, he drinks it while knowing that there is poison?”

Alan told Rumein to calm down.

“He’s very meticulous.
However, he is taking his medication so it’s not dangerous for him… yet.
He does seem to have a plan.”

“The Calian I hear from you always makes me surprised.
It’s different from what I heard from others.”

Alan answered.

“Is that so.”

Because Alan might take problem with the words “hear from”, Rumein said more.

“Now similar with Franz, smaller than Randel.
I know he comes to beneath my shoulders.”

He was talking about Calian’s height.
It meant that Rumein was finally caring about him, so Alan smiled rather than answering.

Rumein spoke again.

“Then.”

Rumein put down the teacup.
A small clank was heard.

“I hope there’s no hating myself due to his meticulousness.”

Alan nodded without answer.
He then pulled out another packet and handed it to Rumein.

Such a thin bag but so much stuff.

Rumein felt like his duty was increasing and smiled.
If somebody saw it, they would be surprised, but Alan didn’t know how straight-faced Rumein can be, so he opened his mouth and started talking.

“You should read it over when you’re bored.”

What Alan produced were the documents about Silike.
They were the same as what Alan gave Calian.
Rumein, after sifting through some of the pages, put it back down.
Then he spoke.

“You have done something useless.”

As Alan expected, Rumein knew everything.
Alan took a sip of tea.
Maybe it was the tea, or Rumein’s words.
He felt a strange bitterness.

Clink went the sound of Alan’s cup when he put it down.

“I don’t know if you’ll say that in the future.”

Alan picked up a piece of chocolate and put it int his mouth.
Because his mouth was tasting bitterness, he could instantaneously feel the sweetness.
Alan’s fingers pointed at the documents on Rumein’s lap.

“If it’s not those, maybe you should turn it over.”

Whether it be the documents or this country.

Rumein, now having already pledged to himself to filter out the rudeness, started flipping through the documents.
Soon, his voice changed.

When the chocolate had all melted in Alan’s mouth, Rumein’s voice was shaking.

“Order of Magicians…”

“Do you like it?”

The words felt like those said by a snake.
It had a peculiar chill to it.
Alan was observing Rumein’s reaction, although he had heard from Calian that Rumein was thinking of making an Order of Knights.

“This is…”

Rumein, having said that, shut his mouth.
After a long silence, he spoke again.

“Who thought of it?”

“Not me.
I’m just a useful master…”

Rumein now figured out that Calian was on the same line of thinking as him.
He was in awe and shock.

Rumein now flipped through the document and talked with Alan.
The night passed and dawn came, and their talk never stopped.
