How to Live as the Enemy Prince

e should’ve supposed that King Rumein’s traits were divided among his sons.

Calian sat across from him, trying to put rest to his conflicting thoughts

“Congratulations on your 38th birthday,” he said in a subdued voice.

Rumein nodded.
A low tone came from behind the papers.

“Yes, thank you.”

After responding in such an emotionless way, Rumein lifted his hand to take a drink from his cup.
He seemed quite exhausted.

“Are you doing well?” Rumein asked.

“Yes,” Calian answered right away without thinking.
“All is well.”

“Good.” Rumein seemed to be completely unaware of Calian’s frail figure.
As if he would know.
Would he look at Calian or not? “If there’s anything that’s troubling you, please tell me.”

Calian’s lip curled.

‘There’s certainly one or two things that’s troubling me.’

Should he say that he found it difficult to tolerate the quiet breakfasts with his other sons? That the assassin sent by his wife was likely to come soon? Or that he might wither away and die due to an unknown disease?

That he was not actually his son?

Maybe if Calian said any of this this, Rumein might actually pay him some attention.

“All is well, I assure you.” In the end, Calian repeated his same insincere answer, and Rumein nodded.

Now he understood.
Understood why it was quicker for the king to see three sons individually than seeing his three sons together at once.

It was because Rumein couldn’t act so terse with three people sitting in front of him.
How much more efficient it was that he only had to briefly open his mouth while working?

‘He thinks it a waste of time to simply spend just five minutes with his son.’

Rumein was pressing his hand against the middle of his forehead.

Calian could not stop the bitterness welling up from him.

He couldn’t even remember the last time he talked to Rumein, and thought it best not to pull up those memories.
Five minutes after leaving Arpia palace, he climbed onto the carriage.

“I wish I said “Nice to meet you for the first time.’”

Yan smiled quietly.
He did not know what happened in the office, but he knew the way Rumein treated his sons.
