Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 104
Episode 104 〈 Rose Darina 〉
A carriage passed along a rough road.
Every time it rattled, the skeletal horse pulling the carriage toured and the refugees followed behind, supporting each other.
The number of refugees alone is around 200.
At first there were 100 people.
Every time we passed through a village, the number increased little by little.
Those who had been begging for their lives experienced the miracle for themselves and followed the procession in silence without complaining.
They glanced at the 7th prince riding the skeleton horse. There was wonder in his gaze.
Charlotte felt complicated when she saw the refugees.
The prince, who was criticized as a fool, has now become a person praised by everyone.
Although he felt proud and confident that he was the first to realize its essence, he also felt anxious as the prince seemed to be moving away from Braille.
‘Angel and the Holy King.’
Titles given to him.
Little by little, she became stronger, but the prince only grew further away.
Charlotte said she wanted to get some fresh air and came out of the carriage and looked at Allen riding the skeleton horse.
While he was walking on a skeleton horse, he had a corpse of a dead crow fall on the ground and be picked up using a skeleton.
Allen raised his hand and infused holy power into the crow.
Wiggle.
The crow opened its eyes and flapped its wings. Resurrected as undead.
Charlotte asked Allen with a curious expression.
“Are you a zombie crow?”
“Yes, necromancers use it when scouting or sending letters.”
He tied a small scroll to the leg of a zombie crow and sent it flying.
The crow flapped its wings and flew up.
“Where are you sending me?”
“To my brother and father.”
“…?”
“I know that the Rom Kingdom is related to Rose, but the flow is turning in a completely different direction. If you make a mistake, the Heavenly Army will fall into the hands of Rose and the vampires.”
So, the plan was to retreat the Heavenly Army to the border area of the Holy Emperor’s Kingdom.
Although Allen may not be able to move the heavenly forces with his authority, it is possible only if he can convince Luan.
“Does that mean that the Holy Emperor’s Kingdom will no longer intervene?”
Varus opened the carriage door and said.
Although the carriage was closed tightly, it seems that he overheard the conversation between Allen and Charlotte.
“It is a temporary measure in any case. also.”
The 7th Prince said while looking at Varus.
“The two formations of the Rom Kingdom need to stop the war for a moment.”
It is a long-standing power struggle between the first prince Varus and the second prince Derian.
It will not be easy to prevent a fight between the two formations, but if the Holy Emperor puts pressure on it, it is possible, at least temporarily.
Varus’ eyes widened.
It was as if he had no idea that he would so blatantly intervene in the Kingdom of Rom.
“Otherwise, the Holy Emperor’s intervention will become more severe.”
Vampires are involved.
Even though he was a retired dragon slayer, if he was a member of the Kingdom of Rom and was hiding Rose in the Kingdom of Rom, it was not a situation that even the Holy Empire could just watch.
Apparently, it is a thriving kingdom preparing for a vampire invasion.
As vampires are involved, we have no choice but to be sensitive.
In the worst case, the Holy Emperor’s army will cross the border of the Rom Kingdom.
Varus also knew that well.
“The two formations must remain calm until the investigation is completed.”
At Allen’s words, Varus nodded with a puzzled expression.
It was good news for him who was suffering repeated defeats, and it was a story that would provide a little hope for refugees.
Charlotte looked up at the 7th Prince while listening to him. I could see his eyes turning to the refugees.
‘also.’
The northern villagers, Luan, the 1st prince of Ronia territory, and even Humite and Rupel, the 3rd prince of Aslan.
Even if it was sympathy, the 7th Prince helped them by providing ‘justice’ with various excuses.
In the end, we can’t turn a blind eye to those in need.
That’s why people are fascinated by him.
Luan and Hilda Harman and their numerous people.
In their eyes, 7th Prince Allen truly seemed like a savior given by God.
Charlotte’s hands tightened.
‘little bit more.’
I had to become stronger to get a little closer to him.
She still needed strength.
**
If Luan and White receive the letter, the Holy Emperor will completely intervene and mediate the Roman Kingdom’s civil war.
The Kingdom of Rom had to conclude a truce in response to the Holy Emperor’s actions, and due to the Holy Emperor’s sudden change in attitude, they had to search to find Rose’s whereabouts at all costs.
I looked at the refugees.
Fortunately, their physical strength appears to have improved thanks to the effects of Aztalune.
Although it was just after the effect of the sanctuary declaration had ended, their bodies had already recovered and their steps seemed quite light.
However, even if drinking water can be solved somehow with holy water, it is not as good as food.
It is difficult for them to endure long trips.
Even as I looked at the refugees, I felt something strange.
But hasn’t the number increased?
Moreover, he is looking at me with strangely sparkling eyes.
What is it? Burdening.
I avoided eye contact.
I continued to feel the stinging gaze, but ignored it.
With this, Varus owes me something.
It saved the refugees and instilled a little hope in the defeated First Prince.
For the survival of the Rom Kingdom, we must do our best to support this Rose Gun.
“How much is left?”
The guard knight next to me looked at me in surprise at my question.
A man named Lord Himel looked up at me and gave me a respectful look.
“We’ll be arriving soon, saint.”
A saint… It’s the first time I’ve heard that in a long time.
Just as I was thinking about that, I could see a fiefdom far away from the road on a hill.
There was a rural village with farmland around it, and a fortress could be seen in the center.
Varus, the 1st prince of the revolutionary army. It was the Venice village you mentioned.
Have we arrived now?
I looked at Varus.
“Then, 1st Prince Varus Victoria.”
Now there is only one thing to do:
“Should I get your cooperation?”
I had to find out in detail about Rose’s whereabouts.
**
Five days later.
Victoria Jin-hyung, Derian, the second prince of the Rom Kingdom.
Derian looked at the other person in his office with wide eyes.
“What do you mean?”
The person Derian is dealing with is Ruan Olfols.
He is the prince of the Holy Emperor’s Kingdom who led the heavenly army with the crown prince.
When the first prince first came here, Derian was happy.
If the Holy Emperor’s Kingdom intervenes, the rebels of the Rom Kingdom can be easily suppressed. Because it can be done.
However, contrary to expectations, the Holy Emperor’s Bureau did not participate in the battlefield.
The Holy Emperor’s Bureau wanted solid evidence and conducted an investigation accordingly.
‘But it doesn’t matter. This is enough!’
The mere fact that the Holy Emperor’s Kingdom intervened would have been enough of a threat to the rebels.
But now even that was useless.
The reason why 1st Prince Ruan came to Derian
was to utter one word: ‘I will defeat the troops.’
“Why?”
Derian suppressed the feeling of wanting to scream.
Unlike him, who seemed nervous and broke into a cold sweat, Luan was truly calm.
“I heard that Rose Darina is not with the rebels.”
Luan didn’t look at Derian. Rather, he just gave a lazy glance towards the maids next to him.
The maids blushed at Luan and lowered their heads.
“That can’t be right. I’m sure my brother, 1st Prince Varus, is Rose. “We are protecting you.”
Derian continued speaking, enduring the humiliation of being ignored.
Luan waved his hand at the maid, glanced at Derian, and said,
“My younger brother Allen has personally contacted the 1st Prince Varus.”
Derian kept his mouth shut.
“The investigation found he was irrelevant. Of course, we will have to conduct a separate investigation.”
Luan held out the document she had written from her arms.
“Also, I would like the Kingdom of Rom to declare a temporary ceasefire. It turns out that it is related to Rose Darina, the mastermind who plotted against this kingdom, and a vampire.”
Derian’s face turned pale at those words.
“That kind of thing…!”
“If you violate this.”
Luan nodded and smiled brightly.
“I think you are well aware that this is providing a justification for the Seonghwangbeopguk to intervene. Derian Victoria.”
Luan didn’t say anything.
He put pressure on Derian directly.
It was just a verbal intervention, but in reality it was like a threat that he could lead an army across the border and invade without permission.
This was the power of the continent’s rulers.
A being who can treat and oppress even a prince who might ascend to the throne.
That is the prosperous kingdom of law.
Under Luan’s pressure, Derian overcame his shame and lowered his head.
“…Give me time to think.”
As a 19-year-old, he didn’t have the confidence to face even the Holy Beopguk.
Derian gritted his teeth and covered his head.
“good.”
Luan nodded.
“It’s only three days.”
Derian was startled and raised his head.
Luan grinned and said.
“Let everything be decided within it.” Then, can I ask you to guide the ladies?”
Luan said and left the office with the maids.
Derian stared at the door Luan left for a while.
About 1 minute, 3 minutes, and 5 minutes passed.
When it turned out that the other person had completely left. He tipped over the table:
“Aaaahhh!”
He kicked the chair with his foot, pulled out his sword, and
swung it wildly. The sofa was torn up and the vase broken.
He screamed and touched his forehead.
“How did this happen? Raiden Behemoth!”
Derian shouted.
The shadow in the darkness stirred and a human being was created.
The shadow took shape and a man walked out. A man
in his early to mid 40s.
A dragon slayer who gained eternal life by selling his soul to a ‘vampire’. .
It was Raiden Behemoth.
He bowed his head to the 2nd prince who was like a ‘livestock’ and said,
“It looks like I couldn’t kill the 1st prince.”
“I heard you can kill a vampire using a vampire!”
He is the first prince who loses the war.
Varus must have felt like grasping at straws and headed to Lost to rely on the dying old man Raiden.
Raiden also heard such information, so he ordered Baron Lava to turn all living things there into zombies. But
,
“It looks like it failed.”
It seems that 7th Prince Allen Allfols, a person who was feared even by vampires, intervened.
If this happens, even assassination is impossible.
“The Holy Emperor might invade. Damn, if that happens, I would rather have the 2nd Crown Princess….”
It was then. .
The study in the office wriggled and was pushed out.
Derian was shocked and closed his mouth.
With a nervous look on his face, he turned his gaze towards the study made of a secret passage.
“What do you think about me?”
A seductive woman approached.
She caressed her cheek and looked at Derian with a puzzled expression.
“No, that’s…”
Derian shook his head.
He lowered his head, avoiding eye contact.
“It’s nothing. . 2nd Crown Princess.”
The woman, Rose Darina, walked lightly.
She caressed Derian’s cheek.
“Don’t be nervous.”
“Ha, but.”
“We have a future.”
Rose gently brushed Derian’s hair.
Derian swallowed a groan.
“I noticed that the future Holy Empire was involved with vampires. If you make a mistake, the royal family…”
“Don’t worry. They don’t live long. But Prince Derian, who will become a vampire…”
Rose whispered, pulling the tip of Derian’s chin.
“No.”
“…”
“It can take as little as 10 years or as long as 20 years. By then, we will have a prosperous kingdom.”
Derian pushed away Rose’s tempting hand with a trembling hand.
“How can you be so sure?”
“That’s natural, right? Isn’t that right? Sharyn.”
Rose called to the ‘maid’ standing in the secret passageway behind her.
The maid walked away with her face turning pale.
She is sweating and has her head down.
He was also covering his swollen belly with his hands trembling with fear.
Derian swallowed dry saliva at the sight.
Rose whispered into Derian’s ear.
“Because by your side will be the son of the third prince of the Seonghwang family.”
