How to Live as the Enemy Prince Chapter 7.2

Episode 2: I Have Grown That Much – Chapter 7 . 2

Randall looked wordlessly between Franz and Calian . Surprisingly, he then spoke to Calian .

“You look tired . You should go ahead and rest . ”

Randall’s concern was odd, and even Franz was stunned . But Randall said nothing else .

Calian was grateful for the excuse to leave this awful table . Silica’s eyes narrowed but she said nothing else about Randall’s strange behavior .

“I hope you enjoy the rest of your meal,” Calian said to Lennon, then his head and looked straight into Silica’s eyes .

Calian smiled brightly at her, his own eyes was like a mirror image of that woman who had died . He strongly hoped that he resembled the deceased Freya .

“I’ll see you again .

Silica frowned for a moment before returning to her carefree expression . She was about to say something back to him but Calian quickly turned his back on her . She clenched her hands .

Randall took a mouthful of desert, carefully keeping his eyes down . It was sorbet made with Ranieri flowers, made to Silica’s liking . The scent of flowers hovered in his mouth before melting away .

Three weeks passed .

The entire Kalisian capital was bustling in preparation for the king’s birthday celebration . One by one, nobles  gathered to the home of Kailis, and ambassadors from distant lands arrived and stayed in the Rubia Pavilion . A few days ago, there was a stirring in the crowds as they tried to catch glimpse of the elves who entered the city .

Some worked to greet and accommodate the visitors, others prepared the banquet, and some were tasked with the safety of the event . All couldn’t get rid of their excited looks ahead of the big festival .

However, Yan’s complexion looked noticeably worse . Not only him, but six of Calian’s maids as well . Even Schatten, the tailor who prepared Calian’s clothes a month ago, had a face creased with stress .

“Have you gotten thinner, Your Highness?”

Calian smiled at Schatten’s worried expression .

“It seems so,” Calian answered calmly, and he realized that it was part of another problem .

It seemed obvious that the mana in the body was having a bad effect on his heart, as it it hurt every time he tried to use mana .

‘I’m sure there will be some famous mages at the birthday festival . I’ll find someone I can trust to check the problem, and wait until then . ’

A healer could have a rather bad effect on a magic user, so Yan nodded .

Schatten’s voice interrupted his thoughts . “I might have to refit your clothes . ”

At first he pinned the clothes to distinguish where to trim and what to leave, but realizing he couldn’t solve the problem that way, he took out the measuring tape again .

“I’ll take new measurements, Your Highness . ”

He seemed to be planning to redo all of them again .

Calian felt a little guilty and followed his orders obediently . Schatten seemed to have no problem measuring him again, though it had taken awhile .

Schatten concluded that he still had time and would be back with the new clothes tomorrow . Calian wanted to reduce his tailor’s burden .

“I’ll wear the other two suits on the second and third day anyway, so it’s alright if you bring them later . ”

“Yes, Your Highness . ”

Calian went to the carriage and told the driver to transport Schatten . That was the least Calian could do for the tailor .

Finally, the birthday of King Rumein had finally arrived .
