Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 152
Episode 152 〈 The Coming Darkness 〉
14 days before the Aslan Civil War.
Tinya, sitting on the throne, received the report.
The feudal movements of the feudal lords were detected.
“Leton is gathering his forces. What would you like to do?”
Damon, who was in charge of Tinya’s education and is now a prince, asked a question.
“Would you like to report to His Majesty the Holy King?”
He was also saved by Allen and received the transfer of his holy power.
Tinya’s faith in the Holy King was similar to her loyalty.
It was best to report to King Seong and move the troops.
He was ready to attack the feudal lords at any time if Tinya instructed him to do so.
“Submit a report to the Holy Emperor’s Office.”
“All right.”
The power of the feudal lords is needed for the people of Aslan.
Their funds and authority are a great help in reassuring the people and controlling necromancers.
However, if you are planning treason, you cannot just leave it as is.
“…hit it.”
Damon nodded at Tinya’s words.
Damon turned his gaze and looked at the Hashashins.
The Hashashins bowed their heads and took a step back.
As they disappeared into the darkness, Tinya said something.
“If you think it’s dangerous, step back.”
“…All right.”
The Hasashins, brother and sister, disappeared.
Now they will assassinate the princes.
The Hashashins took advantage of the darkness and advanced.
At dawn, even the moonlight was consumed by dark clouds.
The Hasashins rushed to the mansion where Aslan’s royal princes were.
The opponent is strong.
King Rahamma thought that strong people should rise to the rank of prince.
However, no matter how strong you are, if you let down your guard after sleep, you will see a gap.
He quickly overpowers the guards who infiltrated the mansion.
Every time they took a step, there was no sound.
When the dark elves succeed in infiltrating, they cast a sound-blocking spell.
The dwarves broke down the door.
At the same time, the window breaks.
The Myoin and Tow tribes, specialized in close combat, entered through the door with their poisonous fingernails raised. At that time, they were startled and their bodies stiffened.
“Welcome.”
A man with red hair like a lion’s mane, eyes, and bulky muscles.
“Duran?”
“…Peacock!”
A change occurred in the expressionless faces of the Hasashins.
These are Hasashins who received terrible brainwashing from Emperor Rahamma.
Even those who had no emotions became agitated and their faces turned pale.
‘This is a trap.’
That means…
‘Tinya is in danger!’
“It’s good prey.”
As the Hasashins retreated, Duke Duran smiled.
**
Among the twelve princes, Leton and the trio led the troops.
‘Oh oh! ‘That’s great.’
in the dark Even the dark clouds swallowed up the moonlight, but it was visible as clear as broad daylight.
Sound also became more sensitive.
You can even hear the sound of insects crawling on the street.
Is this the power inherited from the blood of the progenitor duke?
Letton looked at those following him.
A group wearing robes.
Soldiers made up of creatures and necromancers, the orcs’ own private army, accompany them.
Leton said as he stood tall in front of the royal palace.
“Hit it. “Protect the Queen.”
Leton smiled heartily.
“From traitors.”
At one word from Leton, the soldiers rushed to the royal palace.
The sound of weapons being struck and screams are heard.
As if magic had been used, an explosion occurred in the palace and black smoke rose.
The lights grew brighter on the streets of Aslan.
The people looked at the palace with anxious eyes.
“How on earth….”
“Queen Ti Tinya is in danger!”
“What are the guards doing?”
The murmur of the people grew louder.
Letton walked down the corridors of the palace and opened the door to the final hall wide.
Tinya was frowning and Damon was blocking her path.
“Leton, what is this…!”
“You’re foolish, Damon! “You’re plotting treason.”
Damon’s eyes widened.
Leton lowered his head as he looked at Tinya, who was sitting on the throne and holding a staff.
“Rest assured, Her Majesty. This Reton will punish the traitor.”
“What nonsense are you talking about!”
When Damon shouted, Leton straightened his back and tilted his head.
“What kind of person do you think it would be to become a traitor in a civil war? “Damon.”
“what?”
“It’s simple. The one who gets a noble bloodline is a legitimate patriot, and the one who doesn’t gets it is a traitor.”
Damon frowned.
He raised his holy power.
Now, he plans to turn Tinya into a puppet. He dares to become
a king . You covet my daughter…!
“You bastard!”
Damon lunged at him, and Letton’s claws grew long like hooks.
He swung his hand and threw Damon away, sending him flying and rolling next to Tinya’s throne.
“Whoa!”
The front of her face was cut, and there was a deep wound from her chest to her stomach.
Tinya looked at Leton’s fingernails with a frozen face.
Leton’s fingernails were not human’s.
“…You can’t believe it?”
“Queen Tinya is a vampire.”
Leton’s eyes turned red.
“It was truly ecstatic.”
“…”
Tinya slammed down her cane.
The tree trunks of Daejeon gathered together.
A tree man reaching 5 meters tall.
Woodman.
Among them, the tree trunks slowly dragged the feet of Damon, who had fainted.
Letton, seeing the Woodman, flinched and backed away. .
Even if he became a vampire, the person he was reluctant to be was the Woodman.
There was no way he could have defeated Tinya under the protection of the World Tree.
But.
“Haha! The Woodman…”
The ground trembles.
Part of the royal palace collapses.
Reton The soldiers who followed are crushed by debris falling from the palace.
A white snake suddenly rises up after digging a tunnel.
The basilisk bites the woodman hard.
‘From the underground…?’
Tinya looked at Leton.
Was this the reason why orc-like monsters were in the royal capital?
Leton stepped on the ground and bounced away quickly.
In the blink of an eye, he was in Tinya’s arms and covered her mouth. He
then used his other hand to hold Tinya’s mouth. He twisted his hand to make him lose his grip.
Letton glanced at the spot where Damon was.
He had disappeared before he knew it.
‘He ran away.’
No, did you make her run away?
Leton looked at Tinya.
Her love for her subjects is still the same. But it was actually a good thing. Because
having the leader of the rebellion would make things easier.
Leton said with a deep smile,
“I am the king now, queen. “Your Majesty. So.”
Tinya glared at him strongly,
“I hope you remain quiet as a puppet.”
**
“Civil war that happened 14 days ago?”
I returned to the imperial palace.
I received a report on what had happened.
Perhaps because it was a hastily delivered report, the information was sloppy.
“It took a long time to deliver your information and select accurate information.” This
is what Charlotte said.
In fact, it would take about the same amount of time to ride a horse non-stop from Aslan’s capital to Laurensis.
There were birds and communication crystal balls, but there were many unstable factors related to the weather. There were
hordes of orcs and necromancer slave soldiers stationed in the border area. Etc.
It is said that they all acted according to Tinya’s instructions.
Also, the person pointed out as a traitor was a man named Damon among the twelve princes.
“That’s nonsense.”
I know who Damon is. He
was a teacher and a deeply loyal subject who cared for Tinya dearly.
He rebelled? That’s not funny.
Charlotte spoke up from behind.
“It is said that most of the feudal lords are tracking down Damon with Queen Tinya. And this rebellion was led by the Holy Emperor…”
I stopped walking.
I turned my head and looked at Charlotte.
“what?”
“It is said that the Holy Empire tried to use a man named Damon to overthrow Queen Tinya and place her in the position of king.”
“The reason is?”
“It’s to show the authority of the Holy King.”
Why would I come out there?
When I obviously looked at Charlotte, Charlotte looked at me and spoke cautiously.
“It is said that since the prince has become a holy king, it is his justification to exercise his influence over each country. In addition to military training at the Wall, they are now inciting to show that even Aslan’s position as king can be easily replaced…”
“Who?”
“This is an order from Queen Tinya.”
It seems like someone else instigated it.
The fact that Tinya keeps being mentioned means that she is still safe.
It seems like he is just being used as a nice puppet.
‘But what happened?’
Can a rebellion succeed?
More than half of the twelve princes who were part of Aslan’s powerful group joined Tinya’s side.
The support of the people and the necromancers was also extraordinary.
Because Aslan was saved thanks to the world tree she grew.
That’s how difficult it is to set her up as a puppet.
Above all, if there were spirits that she could control, not even the feudal lords would be able to defeat her.
I arrived in a thriving Daejeon.
Take a breath.
Although it was slight, I felt a strange pressure along with the energy of holy power between the doors.
“…How is His Majesty Seonghwang feeling?”
Charlotte couldn’t bring herself to say it out loud.
They just raise their index fingers with both hands and pretend to poke them as if horns have grown on top of their heads.
It means you are angry.
“I’m going to be amazed.”
Although I am busy training troops.
I opened the Daejeon door.
“Your Majesty the Holy King is entering!”
At the same time as the Chamberlain’s loud shout, the Holy Knights lined up on the left and right raised their heads.
Conversely, the nobles bowed their heads.
I walked through the middle of Daejeon.
I stepped on the red carpet and looked at Celt.
He sat on the throne and saw his face distorted with anger.
“Aslan rebelled.”
“I know.”
“They were calling for independence and breaking away from dependency. Also, they are tarnishing the reputation of the Seonghwang family by saying that this incident was our fault. “Did you do it?”
“If I had done it, Aslan would have disappeared from this world.”
He spoke in a deliberately processive tone.
It takes firmness to persuade Kelt of the success.
Since the Northern Ronia incident occurred, Kelt may have suspicions that this incident was also my doing.
But it was different from what I was worried about.
What I was worried about was It didn’t happen.
Kelt held back his anger.
He pressed his temples and coughed.
After a while, Kelt shook his head as if he was suffering from anemia.
“What are we going to do about this, Holy King?”
He did not use the name Allen.
He is referred to solely as the Holy King.
I am thinking about how he views this incident not as a grandson, but as the Holy King.
“There is a possibility that Queen Tinya has become a puppet.”
“I see, but are you saying that Aslan could stage a coup so easily?”
“It is possible with the help of vampires.”
The nobles gathered in Daejeon flinched.
“It can be seen that the feudal lords and vampires have joined hands.”
Kelt stood up from his seat. He
straightened his back.
The absolute monarch took steps and approached me.
It seemed as if his holy power was spreading with every step he took.
Each word contained a message.
He looked slender, but had a tall body. The Celt with the looked down at me and said,
“That means Aslan is now in the hands of a vampire.”
“…”
I closed my eyes at the Celtic words.
This can’t be helped.
“Good luck, Your Majesty.”
“okay.”
“We will conquer Aslan.”
“…”
“In less than 10 years, they pointed their sword at us. Even if it was a coup d’état, this is belittling us. They trampled on that territory and destroyed that land.”
Celt narrowed his eyes and I looked at him and said,
“I will make it the territory of the Holy Empire.”
This is inevitable.
Based on this incident, Aslan will become good prey for vampires.
It is impossible for the neighboring country, and not anywhere else, to become the home of vampires.
Celt smiled with satisfaction.
“Okay, I will allow it.” . Yes, even though he inherited power and authority as a holy king, he was not given any territory.”
Celt looked at me and said,
“I’ll give you Aslan.”
I took a breath.
There was no time to say anything.
“Get ready to go.”
“All right.”
“You can go. Take a good rest.”
I lowered my head.
I took a step back and Charlotte followed me.
The Daejeon door closed.
At that moment, I swore.
“You’re such a scoundrel!”
He could guess what Celt was expecting.
He would become prosperous. He now wanted to see his successor leave a mark and gain territory. He
would see everything before he died.
He would even beat Aslan before that. It is not easy.
Just because they claim independence and deploy troops to the border area is a justification for war, but it is not enough to start a war. As rumors are spreading, it will be difficult to avoid the people’s distrust of the war.
Even in other countries . In fact, it will cause the misunderstanding that we are training troops to conquer the continent under the pretext of the vampire war.
Celt probably wants to see me resolve the entire process.
This is why the things I have planned are being ruined.
Peace …. My life…!
It was a time when I held my head and groaned,
“Your Majesty the Holy King!”
Hans rushed over.
His face was pale. He
came running in a huff, gasping for breath, and grabbed my shoulders and shook me.
“Your Majesty the Holy King! Your Holy King!”
As if that was rude, Charlotte grabbed Hans by the back and pulled him away.
“Why? What is it?”
I guess my head is spinning.
I’m in no position to listen to Hans’ whining.
Even now, I have to prepare for war and find a way to save Aslan’s people and Tinya.
Hans waved his hands and said,
“He’s here!”
“Him?”
“Yes, it’s him!”
I frowned.
Hans looked around.
The maids and servants were walking and the guards were standing.
There were many people. He shook off Charlotte’s hand and whispered in my ear.
“Damon is here!”
My eyes widened at those words.
**
‘It’s much better. It smells terrible, but it’s still perfect as a healing potion. As expected, His Highness the Holy King’s potion is amazing.’
As Damon looked at the vial containing the elixir, he remembered old times and
fell into longing. From being taken as a slave with Tinya to the Black Order, the fight between Nasus and the Holy King, the encounter with the dragon, and Aslan’s revolution.
‘I must tell you the truth.’
Damon secretly crossed the barrier and reached the Holy Empire.
He came close to death several times.
He stole a horse and rode it, infusing it with holy power.
Even so, when the horse collapsed from exhaustion, he did not rest, even secretly stealing a horse from a passing merchant
. Arrived at Lorensis.
And sneaked in by hiding in the crowd.
It wasn’t that difficult for Damon, who had trained the underworld gods.
However, he didn’t dare to sneak into the imperial palace. He
was blocked by skilled paladins and had to send a letter in the end.
Letter The recipient is Hans Gerrami.
If he is a friend of mine, he will help me.
After meeting Hans and receiving the elixir, he was sitting down on the streets of a slum in the capital city of Lorensis.
‘Meeting His Highness the Holy King in this situation would make things complicated. .’
Damon was being accused of being a traitor under the Holy King’s orders.
In this situation, if he openly meets the Holy King, the false rumors will become true.
Then, footsteps were heard.
Damon raised his head.
Someone was standing tall in front of him.
Robe The
person he met for the first time in almost three years had the appearance of a dashing young man who had shed the appearance of a boy.
Looking at him, Damon felt uncontrollable joy and regret.
He quickly knelt down.
“One of the twelve princes of Aslan. One man, Damon.”
He put his hands together in prayer and said,
“I see an angel!”
Damon encountered the Holy King.
At that time, Allen opened his tightly closed mouth.
“I’m sorry, Damon. You, Aslan.”
Damon was startled and raised his head.
Then his eyes widened.
The Holy King with an indifferent expression was in front of him.
“I must destroy him.”
