Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 163

Episode 163 〈Ariana Family〉

Hilda was riding in the carriage with a sullen expression on her face.

She said bluntly, crossing her arms.

“I couldn’t catch a vampire and I couldn’t stuff a lycan. There’s no point in going like this.”

At those words, Belog, the leader of the dwarves sitting in the coach seat, burst into laughter.

‘You’re sulking again.’

There was a large-scale vampire invasion in the capital city of Lorensis. From

what I heard, it was a large-scale war involving about 500 progenitors and 50,000 undead.

Above all, the will to make it a success was evident as even the Vampire King appeared.

But.

‘It failed.’

Hilda and the dwarves urgently prepared to go to war, but

on the way to the royal capital, they heard that the situation was already over

. In the end, the troops that were going for support were instead changed to a supply team going for repair work.

“Well, isn’t that a good thing? War. “The fact that this has ended is actually a good thing because it means that the damage to the people has been reduced.”

“I see. I agree with that.”

Hilda curled the corners of her mouth as if she was in a good mood.

Bellog laughed cheerfully at her reaction.

The changes in her emotions were like watching a cute daughter.

“Huh?”

Bellog saw a large carriage procession on the road to the capital Laurensis. I witnessed this.

It was not just a noble escort.

Dozens of knights and thousands of troops.

Belog was nervous for a moment.

A large-scale army heading to the capital at a time like this?

But he changed his mind when he saw the emblem on the front row of the carriage. .

A pattern of a shield and a spear overlapping.

It is the Kingdom of Franz, an ally.

Belog looked at it and tilted his head.

“Kingdom of Franz? It is also a royal carriage. No, is it the military? Obviously, if it’s the Franz royal family, Hilda’s…”

“What are you saying?”

Hilda lifted her head, pressing down on Belog’s head.

Hilda’s face brightened.

The carriage procession of the Kingdom of Franz also stopped at a corner of the road when they saw the carriage Hilda was riding.

Hilda got off the carriage and looked straight ahead.

The carriage door of the Franz royal family opened.

There, a beautiful middle-aged woman with red hair and eyes got off.

Hilda’s face brightened as she looked at the middle-aged woman.

The royal family of the Kingdom of Franz has close diplomatic relations with the Holy Empire.

That’s right too.

“mother!”

Runan Ariana is the younger sister of the current King Zeiner Franz, a blood relative of the Franz royal family.

This is because she is Hilda’s mother and the wife of Crown Prince White Allpoles.

“Why are there so many?”

I was in the imperial palace’s office.

10 days since the end of the vampire war.

As the damage was so severe, there was a mountain of documents piled up before my eyes.

Charlotte was standing tall next to her, guarding her, while Ellis and Hans were groaning and piling up piles of documents taller than their height in front of the study.

“You want me to handle this all by myself?”

I looked at Charlotte with a dissatisfied gaze.

Charlotte smiled wryly as she looked through one of the documents on top of the study.

“I can’t help it. “If we don’t deal with it quickly, the people will be in trouble.”

“There are other nobles too.”

“Everyone is working hard. From what I heard, it looks like Luan got into a fight with a pile of documents last night.”

It’s just too much.

How can you treat the person who contributed so much to ending the war in this way?

I looked at the document with a sullen expression on my face.

Well, the damage is serious.

Only after restoration work can you enjoy a celebration banquet, party, or festival.

uh? wait for a sec.

“…There’s also something about Aslan?”

That was also an appeal about Aslan.

Currently, Aslan was in an unstable state.

It was as if he had been abandoned as soon as he was conquered.

It was so chaotic.

As it was an emergency situation, Charlotte returned with some of the troops sent to Aslan, and some priests took over temporary management. Naturally ,

the people of Aslan were bound to be dissatisfied.

To prevent this and control it, Tinya was temporarily given authority again, but this time, the nobles were the problem.

Why should the queen who had been deprived of the throne be raised again?

These people are said to be temporary. “After completing your

duties, you must quickly return to Aslan and finish the remaining work. For now, it is His Highness’s Holy King’s territory.”

“…Why are we getting busier with the war that the vampires lost? After all, we’re not doing politics or anything like that.”

I touched my forehead, pretended to stumble, and said,

“I’m anemic. Please give some of the documents to Brother Ruan and come back.”

He pointed to some of the documents.

Charlotte looked surprised.

“Are you okay?”

“After summoning the Archangel, the anemia continues. I think it will interfere with my work.”

That’s a lie.

There were aftereffects from summoning Metatron, but all they were was a sore throat for three days.

Muscle pain and high fever made it difficult to sleep.

It didn’t affect me at all right now.

Charlotte looked at Ellis as if she was worried.

Ellis . made eye contact with me with a wry smile.

She shook her head.

“There’s nothing wrong. And even if you postpone it, the 1st Prince is tired from overwork right now, so I can’t entrust you with any more work.”

As expected, the therapist’s trick didn’t work.

I pulled back my chair and leaned against the wall.

I turned my head when I heard a small commotion behind the window.

They were removing jars containing holy water from the imperial palace and transporting them to carts for the people.

It’s probably to treat the injured or diseased.

“Is that okay?”

There is no problem in treating the people.

The problem was that those holy beasts were made by me.

If I give them to the people, a situation that may be difficult to handle may arise later.

“It will be okay. Everyone will cherish His Highness the Holy King. .”

Charlotte, you know that’s a very dangerous and scary statement, right?

You’re probably saying that even after knowing the effects of my holy water.

“I’m trying to become a golden bastard, not the leader of a cult.”

It gives me goosebumps to think that the people in the capital have become fanatics and are looking at me.

In some ways, the 10,000 Yang Byeongseom theory may be going on without my knowledge.

“But not everyone is awakening.”

Moreover, even if you have fanatical religious beliefs, the prisoners in the North will not be that threatening. If you

believe in your religious beliefs and do not commit crimes, it would be good. Gaia’s words in the Bible will be useful.

“For now, the 10,000 Yang Byeong theory will be used later .

“Let’s proceed.”

Charlotte looked at me in surprise.

“Are you planning on continuing?”

“of course. When there is peace, it is time to prepare for war. Even though vampires no longer have the foundation to build their blood kingdom, they can’t let down their guard. More than anything.”

I rested my elbows on the books and rested my face on the backs of my hands.

“Because the Vampire King lived.”

In the end, Celt failed to chase down the vampire king.

Celt, who was enraged by this, locked the vampires he had caught alive in the labyrinth and has been enjoying his hobby for several days.

Above all, since they’ve caught a Duke-level person, they’ll be conducting all kinds of experiments.

I was curious about why a vampire named Kirum wanted to save Rupel.

What were they trying to do to save the dying second prince?

What was unsettling was the reaction of a vampire named Keyrum.

-What on earth are you doing? This is also a contradiction to what you guys said about God! What kind of experiment…!

Scream loudly.

I don’t know if he lost his senses after drinking the wrong holy water or if he just wants to deny something.

I have also been to the underground labyrinth a few times, but I have never met Rupel.

“Hans.”

Hans, who was carrying documents, looked at me.

I asked, narrowing my eyes at him.

“What on earth did you do to Second Prince Rupel?”

Hans was startled and rolled his eyes.

It looks like he is very troubled.

“Ah… His Majesty Seonghwang said it was a simple experiment.”

“A simple experiment?”

“Using the blood of the Seonghwang family to do something…”

“What is that?”

“…”

The more he asked, the more Hans’ body shrank.

His pupils seem to be quite hesitant as his pupils are shaking.

I was even more suspicious because I had guessed that Seonghwang was doing something other than torturing Rupel.

I glared at Hans with silent pressure, but Hans only broke into a cold sweat and did not open his mouth.

This guy’s mouth became heavy after becoming a count.

At that time, there was a knocking sound.

When Charlotte opened the office door, she saw a paladin whispering something to her.

Charlotte blinked as she listened to the story. After a while, he widened as if surprised.

Charlotte came up to me and spoke quietly.

“It appears that the Ariana family has arrived at the imperial palace.”

“Ariana’s family?”

“He is one of the blood relatives of the royal family of the Franz Kingdom. “It is said that Duke Runan Ariana, the head of the Ariana duchy, has arrived.”

“…Oh, I remembered.”

It was definitely in the family tree that Harmon gave me a long time ago.

Hilda’s mother, the younger sister of the current King Zeiner Franz and the 3rd Crown Princess of White.

I looked surprised.

It seems like this vampire incident is big.

“I can’t believe someone who didn’t even come to the 3rd Prince Rupel’s execution ceremony and the Holy King’s succession ceremony is here.”

From what I heard, the Third Crown Princess is a very powerful person and is said to be very obsessive.

He appears to be quite close with the first crown princess, Yulicia, like real siblings, but on the other hand, he is said to be an enemy with the second crown princess, Rose.

There is a rumor that Rose’s son, Rupel, also disliked me very much, and that he also disliked me, who had done such a disgrace by tarnishing Yulicia’s name.

“no. Rather, it is said that he could not leave the kingdom.’

I looked at Charlotte.

Charlotte said, scratching her cheek.

“The Kingdom of Franz is the place where vampires are most active on the continent. That’s why he…”

Charlotte trailed off.

I tilted my head.

“…I understand that you had a busy day personally leading the vampire hunt.”

Charlotte’s words made me think differently.

Aren’t these vampires poor guys who can’t live anywhere?

“Even though we are not from the Seonghwang family?”

“Although the Kingdom of Franz is small, it is considered the second largest vampire hunting nation. In fact, it is more than three times the number of vampire cases in the Holy Emperor’s Kingdom.”

“Knowing that, I understand that His Majesty the Emperor pursued an arranged marriage because he thought she would be suitable as the Crown Princess. In fact, it is said that the reason they came to Lorensis this time was as reinforcements.”

I nodded and leaned back.

“It means that you are a strong person like Sister Hilda.”

I guess she came to lead the army as a female commander.

She is indeed Hilda’s mother.

I stood up.

“I need to be quiet for a while.”

Clearly, the Third Crown Princess Runan Ariana would not be a match for me.

No matter how good your reputation may be, people’s emotions cannot change that easily.

“I think it’s already too late.”

Charlotte sighed softly and pointed to the office door.

There is a woman sticking her head out between the doors and waving her hand.

“Sister Hilda?”

That was my first thought when I saw the woman.

But it’s different.

Everything from the atmosphere to the facial expressions.

In contrast to Hilda’s, her lively and playful expression has a very gentle atmosphere.

“Hello, it’s been a while. Allen!”

A woman came into the room without permission.

I used my mind’s eye to see the woman’s name and spoke.

“Saeran.”

The daughter of Crown Prince White and my older sister.

It was Saeran Ariana.

“I came to play with Mabel and Mesel!”

The woman, Saeran, looked back and said.

The twin brothers were seen again through the gap in the door.

No matter how you look at them, they are only about 145 years old.

Mabel Ariana Marcel Ariana.

The twin brothers glared at me fiercely with extremely uncomfortable eyes.

Are these people also brothers?

Although the surname was inherited from the Ariana family, they are the second princesses and the 45th princes in the Holy Emperor’s Kingdom.

“Would you like to talk for a moment?”

I touched my forehead as I saw Saeran smiling brightly.

**

Harman’s Holy Knights were chasing the second prince, Rupel.

Coordinates of the damaged warp mentioned by Hans.

In a forest quite far from Laurensis, Harman lifted up a burnt-out torch.

Another paladin touched the grass with his hand.

“These are animal tracks. “The blood stains are faint, but remain.”

“Either it was eaten or someone picked it up.”

Harmon looked away.

A road corner can be seen not far from here.

It is a rare road where people go, and it is a place where travelers are reluctant to pass because of the presence of wild animals.

However, due to the recent confusion over the war and the fact that it is a road adjacent to the capital, it has become a frequent street for travelers and refugees.

‘There is no way the 2nd prince ran away alone.’

From what I heard, 2nd Prince Rupel was so distraught that he couldn’t move and his physical injuries were so severe.

It must have been taken away by a vampire or a traveler or something.

Harmon touched his forehead and sighed.

“It’s going to be quite difficult to chase him down.”

In fact, it was safe to say that there was almost no way.

“What should I do?”

Harman sighed at the paladin’s words.

“Call the Green Cross and continue the chase as much as possible. Investigate the roads that passed here over the past 10 days and find out about those who passed by in nearby villages.”

Harmon said while looking at the dried torch.

“We will chase Ruppel until the end.”
