Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 144

Episode 144 〈 Succession Ceremony and Festival 〉

“The majority of vampires who infiltrated the Ayrans palace were annihilated.”

It was a conference room.

There is not even a candle with a wick, let alone a torch to light up the surroundings.

There is only thick darkness.

It is surrounded by a round table and strange-looking beings are gathered together.

A council of nobles made up of founders. However, most of the marquis did not attend, not to mention the dukes and archdukes.

Among the nobles at the earl level and lower, the Marquis Kirum, a vampire with the appearance of a clown, broke into a cold sweat.

A little while ago, I told the progenitor vampires about the current situation through a letter.

“Contact with Count Timon in the north has also been lost.”

They are noble and fearless.

Those who thought of humans as livestock became terrified when just one person’s name was mentioned.

“This is an act committed by the 7th prince of the Holy Empire, Allen Allpols.”

The vampires felt chills and trembled.

Marquis Keyrum’s cold sweat ran down his cheeks.

His usual playful tone was gone. It’s a technique you only use when you’re excited or to confuse your enemy.

We must not confuse the current nobles.

“In addition, a saint named Ellis has been discovered in the Holy Emperor’s Kingdom and is under the protection of the 7th Prince. It is said that after dealing with Count Timon of the North, he is preparing to return to the royal capital and ascend to the position of Holy King.”

The vampire became noisy.

‘A saint?’

‘They say it’s a maid named Elise, and she’s Cardinal Raphael’s granddaughter.’

‘Were you secretly hiding your identity?’

‘Besides, King Seong? What…!’

Amid the commotion, Marquis Kirum’s hands were sweating as he held the report.

He was relieved to have to read the next report.

“He also said he was personally training 5,000 priests.”

“5,000?”

“Not an ordinary soldier?”

The estimated number of priests in the Holy Empire alone is close to 15,000.

They are not priests in name only, but people who can use sacred power.

However, it is said that 5,000 more priests will be trained.

It also has a ‘military purpose’ rather than a general clerical purpose.

This means that the power of the existing Seonghwangbeopguk will be greatly increased.

“That’s impossible!”

The progenitor vampire with the head of an animal said.

“This cannot happen, Marquis Keyrum. “It is a false report, and it is definitely a report fabricated by the Holy Emperor to threaten us!”

The large founder, whose entire body was stitched up like a zombie, denied it.

“It’s not impossible.”

Marquis Keyrum is facing reality.

The enormous sacred power felt in Romania, the Roman Kingdom.

With that, I dealt with a marquis-level person.

No, he won overwhelmingly.

He killed the dragon slayer and subjugated numerous undead legions.

The opponent can see through vampires and even distinguish among humans.

Also, if he had time to exert his power, he became incredibly strong.

He was the most dangerous of all saints.

“Up to 800 people who have awakened their holy power have come to Ronia. “They said it was the 7th prince’s doing.”

There was silence in the conference room.

My gaze was focused on Marquis Kirum with a look in my eyes that seemed to want to deny reality.

“If this is true, we cannot defeat the Holy Emperor.”

“The prosperous Celts are alive and well, and the Sword King is alive and well. Even the Crown Prince and Cardinal Raphael are a threat.”

It is an absolutely armed group.

Even though they are old, they are still capable of dealing with many progenitors.

Demons who torture vampires and collect skulls. How many vampires will have the courage to face them?

“Furthermore, the 7th prince will be crowned as the Holy King. “If you have authority and power.”

We will begin training our troops in earnest.

If the vampires force an invasion against them, the outcome is obvious.

fall.

When the vampire slayer ascended the throne, it already meant oppression.

He is the 7th prince who knows how to distinguish between vampires.

If he ascends to the throne and grows even further, there will be a large-scale massacre the likes of which vampires have never experienced before.

“I plan to send a letter to the Vampire King.”

Marquis Kirum looked at the ancestors and said.

“We plan to postpone the invasion until 150 years. “At that time, the current threats will disappear.”

The progenitor vampires slumped.

It’s always like this.

They were barely able to jump over cattle or something, so they just ran away.

Now they will hide again and be oppressed.

We have to spend each day trapped in the dark and trembling in fear in the shadows.

“The bloody kingdom we dreamed of…!”

Some people shed bloody tears.

Some people wept and others were frustrated.

The founders, who maintained their rationality, spoke in nervous voices.

“What about the dukes and archdukes? Did the other marquis also agree?”

“There is no way they would agree. “I plan to make a suggestion to the Vampire King on my own.”

“If you do that, Marquis…”

Marquis Kirum gently closed his eyes.

“I will be held accountable and eaten by the dukes and the grand duke. But if we don’t wear a spear, we’re done.”

“In the current situation, we must seize the opportunity. “I must suppress the vampire king’s impulses through my own death and survive.”

Marquis Keyrum gently opened his eyes.

“No matter how miserable it may be.”

“Can it be said that a rat that hides in a rat hole is a noble vampire?”

Marquis Keyrum looked away.

The progenitor vampires also turned their heads and looked in the direction from which the voice came.

In the darkness, the progenitor vampire, whose skin had melted and appeared naked, glared at the nobles.

His entire body was wrapped in bandages, and his back was curved like a hunchback.

In his hand was a large red jewel.

**

I didn’t even think about it.

No, I expected it. However, making a decision without consultation is against the laws of etiquette.

He is the Holy King.

The idea is to create a position that didn’t exist before and put me above it.

Why?

Actually, I understand it to some extent.

Without realizing it, I moved for the prosperity of the kingdom and made a contribution in my own way.

Oh my God, I was just trying to protect my home and the innocent people.

This resulted in:

“I need to run away.”

When he was greeted by a successful Celtic, he smiled kindly.

Although it was said in the letter that he often fell asleep and looked dangerous, what I felt was the majesty of the absolute being sitting on the throne.

If it were him, three years would have been easy.

I packed up my room.

I collected as many magic books and textbooks as I could from the imperial palace library.

I put the important things in the item window and lifted the remaining luggage myself.

If the chase started, you had to leave a trace to elude them.

“Are you running away, prince?”

Charlotte was taken aback.

She seemed happy that I was receiving the title of Holy King.

But for me, it was the opposite.

“Let’s get ready for the trip, Charlotte.”

“yes?”

“Let’s go to Aslan. Let’s enjoy sightseeing there for the first time in a while.”

Charlotte smiled bitterly:

“It won’t end as usual.”

It will definitely be difficult.

It is an event held by the Holy Emperor Celt himself. No, it is a succession ceremony

and a preparation for the Holy Emperor’s coronation ceremony. Many people will cheer and nobles from other countries will be invited to visit.

It is unfortunate, but it is not the time to look into their situation.

I He has no intention of becoming a successful king.

“He’s a fool, so even if he does something like this, they’ll turn a blind eye.”

On the contrary, I would have nothing to hope for if I was sentenced to exile as punishment and handed over the position of Holy King to another brother.

If I ascend to the Holy King, I will definitely be bound to the imperial palace and cannot move freely.

Isn’t the answer just looking at the Holy Emperor Celt?

When did he leave the imperial palace ? The only time it happened was during the Aslan War.

“Since when do you say you’re a bastard?”

Charlotte made a dumbfounded expression.

“Anyway, get ready. Even if I receive the title of Holy King, not now. I’m leaving right away.”

I opened the door.

Paladins dressed in golden armor are lined up.

They are standing tall like statues, holding shields and putting their hands on the handles of their swords. It

is a golden cross.

I am dazed.

At the center of it all is Oscar.

Oscar. He said with this benevolent expression,

“I will escort Prince Oscar Baldr, leader of the Golden Cross and King of Swords. Where are you going?”

“…I changed my mind. Let’s stay inside.”

I closed the door and twitched my eye muscles.

Since I was an escort, it was essentially surveillance.

“…Let’s go outside.”

It’s impossible from the front.

I don’t dare fool the Sword King’s eyes.

Going out to the balcony is the best way.

But…

I opened the balcony and put my foot on the railing.

When I lowered my head, the Red Cross, Green Cross, and Holy Cross were right in front of me. I was standing there.

Harmon, who was in charge of their command, made eye contact with me.

“What’s going on? Prince.”

I threw the luggage bag I was carrying at Harman.

I closed the balcony door.

I was surrounded. I think I know why the room was placed on a low floor on purpose. I guess

it was to prevent the bone wyverns from using it.

The prosperous Celt is truly thinking of enthroning me. “Prince, the coronation ceremony is in three days. You just have to be patient until then. There are only three hours after the military parade, and there will only be a brief banquet in between.

”

Uncharacteristically, she panicked and stopped me, saying,

“I don’t like that.”

“But opening up the faces of the nobles will be of great help to the prince…”

I looked at Charlotte in shock.

At some point, Charlotte was persuading me.

“No way, you too…”

“I hope I become a holy king. “You’re not wishing for it, are you?”

Charlotte was silent.

Of course, she was affirming what I said.

I pressed my temples in despair.

“Call your brother and sister. They will be here, right?”

It is the succession ceremony of the Holy King.

At least the crown prince, the 1st prince, and the 1st princess will be here.

I called them, and after a while, the maid brought Luan and Hilda into the room.

“Congratulations, my beloved younger sister!”

“It’s been a while since I’ve had a drink, right? I got it from Belog as a celebratory drink.”

Luan put her hand on my shoulder as I sat on the sofa, and Hilda ruffled my hair and offered me a drink.

I looked at them both.

“I have a favor to ask.”

These two are enough to reconsider the prosperous Celt.

There are many reasons.

They are still young.

They are only 18 years old. Of course, in this world, 16-year-olds are recognized as adults, but they are clearly young. They are

also ignorant. They have knowledge and experience in politics, economy, and all other fields. This was not enough.

If we used these as an excuse, it would be possible.

I said to the two people,

“Please help me. “Brother, sister.”

**

Hans looked at Mist Calf’s heart.

Red jewels were connected.

There is an empty space the size of a head at the 1m long edge.

‘…the magic power is disappearing.’

No matter how powerful the magical power is, at best it is at the level of opening purgatory.

However, even that cannot be opened as time passes.

‘Yes, that’s all.’

Even if the vampires open Purgatory again, it won’t be a problem anymore.

The 7th prince ascends the throne as King Seong.

You will gain power and authority and can also operate a powerful army.

Not only the Sword King but also the crown prince has the authority to move.

Using the Chaolium Church, you can summon over 10,000 priests spread across the continent.

Above all, it is a holy relic owned by the 7th prince.

There is the Archangel of Ordin, the first Holy Emperor.

If it is restored, there will be no problem.

‘It’s a vain worry. Now is the time to think about a congratulatory gift for the prince.’

If you become a saint, your path to success will also be opened.

As his closest associate, he will be able to leave behind a lasting legacy in history.

This is the moment when the long history of the surnameless Hans family is recorded.

‘…What they’re after is the Seal of the Holy Family.’

But at some point, Hans became worried again.

We continue to look at Count Timon’s materials.

Count Timon was a greater person than I thought.

His own family, who have been called geniuses, must mobilize all the knowledge passed down through their ancestors to be comparable to Count Timon’s knowledge.

If that’s not possible, though.

If only there was someone with the same knowledge as Count Timon…

“Haha! What are you worried about? “Oh, that can’t be possible.”

Hans shook off his idle thoughts.

I immediately stood up and rummaged through my luggage.

I took out the novel the prince had given me.

I saw a tangle of unknown metal fragments and lines.

All items recovered from the ice castle.

It is not of this world.

Knowing that, I realized that Count Timon had succeeded in warping.

Hans gritted his teeth in defeat.

“I can’t believe I lost to a vampire.”

I pressed my temples.

Hans took a deep breath and stood up.

I smiled bitterly as I looked at the book in my hand.

“Shall I ask the prince? “You might know something more!”

He took steps and went to the 7th prince’s room.

The Golden Cross was encamped, and a loud noise arose from inside the door.

The door burst open and the 7th prince shouted.

“If you’re not going to help me, get out of there!”

The 1st prince and 1st princess stepped back with a playful smile.

When a wine bottle flew at Hans, he was startled and lowered his head to avoid it.

“Come again next time!”

“I look forward to the coronation ceremony of the Holy King.”

Luan and Hilda left and Hans looked at the prince.

The 7th Prince, who was closing the door with a huff, looked at Hans and tilted his head.

“Hans?”

“Haha! Prince, I have something to tell you!”

Hans spoke energetically and showed a novel.

The 7th Prince shook his head.

“You said you didn’t know about that.”

“Is that so? How could it not be?”

Hans naturally went through the door.

“I don’t know. It’s not like Count Timon is alive, so how could he…”

The prince waved his hand.

Looking at the 7th prince’s back, Hans quietly closed the door and said,

“Prince . .”

“…?”

7th Prince Allen turned around and looked at Hans.

Hans was frozen. His

face was quite cautious.

He put down the book he was holding and faced Allen.

“Maybe it’s because I’m a coward.”

You have to say,

if you know what the vampires are trying to do, you need to be careful.

“I might be causing you unnecessary worry.”

However, if your prediction is correct, you have to stop it. And the only people who can do that are Allen and yourself in front of you.

“But I’ll tell you just in case.”

Hans spoke his thoughts.

Charlotte’s eyes widened next to him, and Allen sat on the sofa and listened to Hans’ words.

The lack of the recovered Mist Calf’s heart piece,

and the complete disappearance of the disappearing magical power.

Hans spoke in a worried tone,

mentioning the possible danger. He

then declared,

“If my prediction is correct, what they are trying to do will be truly dangerous. But the prince and I will be able to stop it. If it succeeds.”

Hans said with unwavering eyes.

“This will be an opportunity to deal a huge blow to them.”
