Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 30

Episode 30 The prince goes to the banquet hall.

====================

I tried to run away.

But I couldn’t escape.

The gardeners came belatedly and were surprised to see the success of the garden maintenance.

And I was led as if dragged into the throne room of the Holy Emperor.

Paladins are lined up on both sides of the vast Daejeon.

I looked ahead as high-ranking nobles and clergy watched.

“Hmm…”

It’s not the shabby clothes I saw a moment ago.

There is a holy emperor wearing a white robe with golden embroidery and a crown on his head.

He sat on the throne, tilted his head and looked down at me.

“It’s been a while. 7th Prince Allen Olfolse.”

At those words, I glanced to the side.

The nobles are whispering.

“…is it true that they caught a vampire?”

“What will the 7th prince do?”

“From what I heard, he is said to have the magic power of a count or even higher. It’s a vampire that’s hard to get rid of even when surrounded by a single group of Holy Knights. “I’m sure that’s what Lord Harman did with his army.”

“But the voices of the people in Ronia supporting him…”

“There must have been a secret person. “The prince must have stolen the credit.”

People in this world seem to have a rich imagination.

As someone who did not know the etiquette of the royal family, I was at a loss as to what to do.

Seeing me like that, Seonghwang opened his mouth.

“I heard you hunted vampires. “Is that correct?”

Now how should I answer?

Vampires also existed in Laurensis, the capital of the Holy Empire.

The fact that the people in the market were whispering and saying ‘again’ means that even Seonghwangga knows that ‘that being’ is here.

In fact, it was highly likely that this was not a place to receive recognition for the Ronia incident, but to find out ‘the person who can catch the vampire’.

And there are suspicions going back and forth between Harmon and I that we caught such a vampire.

“…Yes, I got it.”

I nodded.

Still, he tilted his head with a troubled expression.

“But if I were alone, I wouldn’t have been able to catch him even if he died and woke up. This was possible thanks to the help of many people. Harman, Charlotte, and numerous people in the territory of Lord Grenold Ronia. Thanks to them.”

Recognize, but give credit to others.

The only people who have seen me deal with a vampire myself are Harmon and Charlotte.

However, I witnessed most of the shooting by vampires in Ronia.

At least I had to tell a lie but mix in a little bit of the truth.

Seonghwang looked surprised at my words.

He stroked his chin with interest.

“Is it thanks to others?”

“of course. I guess my life depends on them. We were also able to stop Ronia’s ‘wave of death’.”

“…Right.”

Seonghwang nodded.

He has a complex and subtle expression.

The Holy Emperor glanced at where the nobles and subjects were.

They are buzzing. A mockery filled with ridicule was directed at me.

-Are you saying that the prince didn’t kill him after all?

-What can I help you with? I guess he hid in the corner of the room and came out after it was over.

-But I heard that there was a person who used sacred power and that Lord Gerald called him a prince…

-Since you were wearing a mask, how would you know exactly who it was?

I knew I was in a bad situation, but I never dreamed I would be laughed at this much.

It certainly seems like the 7th prince is hated.

At that time, one of the subjects noticed and cautiously approached Seonghwang.

One of the priests whispered in the Holy Emperor’s ear, and the Holy Emperor’s eyes turned to me again.

“It must have been hard to get here. “Make sure you get some rest.”

I thought I was going to be interrogated or something. But Seonghwang said something simple and sent me away.

Although I was relieved, I asked just in case before leaving for Daejeon.

“Oh, by the way, I’m in the capital Laurensis.”

Everyone’s eyes are focused on me.

The Seonghwang Celt also looked at me with puzzlement.

I said that to that person.

“There is a vampire. Please take care of it. “The people are scared.”

Kelt’s expression hardened at my words.

The atmosphere in Daejeon cooled down in an instant.

uh? what. Shouldn’t I have said it separately?

I stuck my tongue out.

I left Daejeon thinking that I might have been meddling in my own business.

* *

Kelt Allpoles recalled the words of the 7th Prince who had left a moment ago.

Even just six months ago, he was a coward who knelt down and bowed his head.

That person was standing proudly and glaring at him.

And rather than taking all the credit for killing the vampire, he acknowledged the help of others.

Does losing one’s memory mean one’s personality changes?

‘And if it’s a child named Grill and Charlotte…’

I once received a letter from Harmon.

Survivors and descendants of the ‘Heraiz’ family.

Certainly, with their help and Harman, it would have been worth hunting down the vampire count.

‘But it’s strange.’

There were definitely some heterogeneous parts.

The Heraiz family is a martial arts family that has learned the swordsmanship of the Seonghwang family.

This is not a family that can unleash its holy power.

Another report from Ronia.

The letter sent by Lord Gerald had different content.

-When the prince used his holy power, the soldiers who were on the verge of death were revived.

Revive a soldier who was about to die? This is absurd.

How can a prince who can’t even use healing magic properly save a soldier who is on the verge of death?

In addition, it is said that they found and destroyed the underground tunnel where the undead were hiding.

How much I laughed when I heard that…

This is Lord Gerald, who was suspected of tax evasion.

He obviously wants to stand on the prince’s side and return to his original territory.

-When the prince prayed, the vampire’s limbs were pierced under Gaia’s protection.

Moreover, he pierced the vampire with a musket that was just an ornament.

This is a joke that would make wizards and alchemists who have studied magic bullets for the past 200 years laugh.

I couldn’t believe it anymore.

The Holy Emperor tried to ignore Lord Gerald’s report.

-This is an eyewitness account from numerous people. It is said that the person presumed to be the prince pierced the vampire’s lower abdomen.

This is the result of an investigation conducted in Ronia by knights of the Seonghwang family while hiding their identities.

In addition, hundreds of people were saved with holy water, and even a lake made of holy water appeared.

It is truly like the reincarnation of a saint who inherited a fragment of God.

These are unbelievable things.

It’s nonsense.

This is clearly a wrong report.

Even with that thought in mind, the successful Celts had small expectations.

“What do you think?”

The Emperor asked the gathered subjects.

“It’s a lie.”

The subjects did not hesitate at all.

“The prince was certainly in the Lonia territory, but no one saw him during the battle.”

“There was just someone wearing a mask.”

“It is difficult to call him prince.”

There is no reason.

These are subjects who always deny it.

The brothers of the Seonghwang family stand next to him.

These are people who are on the same boat as them.

Seonghwang Kelt closed his eyes and touched his forehead.

Their thoughts are biased.

As he grew older and the time came to step down from the throne, the nobles moved to secure a ‘successor to the emperor.’

Archbishop Raphael, who remains neutral, lives in his room because he does not want to see the 7th Prince.

‘…who should I trust?’

-Have you eaten? We made a sandwich together…

Seonghwang Kelt gently opened his eyes.

The first crown princess was a commoner who was considered lowly and treated with contempt.

‘Ulicia…’

As the image of her always smiling image came to mind, Kelt whetted his appetite.

The first prince who inherited Yulicia’s blood and grew up under her.

Luan was expected to become a saint with an intelligent and benevolent disposition.

But today and tomorrow is life.

It was impossible to give him a royal position.

Celt became bitter.

Although he should be worried about his grandson, he thought that he was truly selfish for thinking about his position and the people.

‘But we can’t give the position of success to others.’

There are nasty vampires hiding in the Holy Emperor’s Kingdom.

It is impossible to know how deep the vampires have hidden themselves while wearing human masks.

In order to stop them, someone with sufficient qualifications had to become successful.

-Now that I think about it, there are vampires in the capital Laurensis. Please take care of them. The people are scared.

What the 7th Prince said before leaving for Daejeon.

He spoke in a tone as if he had seen a ‘vampire’.

Celt looked away.

The nobles still laugh at the prince.

However, a look of conflict was visible on the expressions of some nobles who heard the prince’s words.

They know it too.

That there are vampires here in ‘Seonghwangga’.

‘Is there still a chance?’

What if…?

What if the 7th prince still has any qualities left to succeed him?

And what if you have the power to eliminate vampires…?

Would it be right to hand over the throne to him?

“I would like to dare to speak to His Majesty the Holy Emperor at the risk of being rude.”

There was someone talking to Celt, who was lost in thought.

A person who carefully came out after asking for the understanding of many of his subjects.

When Kelt saw him, he naturally smiled.

He is a nobleman in his early to mid 40s with red hair and red eyes.

He is the Count of Pomor.

It was a force that supported Yulicia’s son, 1st Prince Ruan.

He knelt down, bowed his head, and continued speaking.

“There is still plenty of time. Would you like to investigate the matter further? Moreover, the anniversary of Yulicia’s death will come in two months. “I hope the 7th Prince is here until then.”

The other nobles frowned at his words.

On the contrary, a smile appeared in the corner of Seonghwang’s eyes.

“I heard that the 7th Prince wants to head to the Land of the Four Spirits to repent for his sins. However, I think his sins were sufficiently atone for his great contribution to hunting down vampires.”

Count Phmor raised his head, smiled, and said:

“So, why don’t we hold a celebration banquet for those who have contributed to Ronia?”

Kelt nodded.

It is still too early to judge the 7th prince.

I’ll have to stay close to him a little longer and watch him.

Also, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to hear a report directly from Lord Gerald.

“Let it be so.”

“I am devastated.”

Celt was planning to decide what to do with the 7th prince based on his behavior at the banquet.

Should we send him into exile like this or leave him in the imperial palace to watch over him?

* *

Life in the imperial palace was more comfortable than expected.

I stayed in a room that was like a 7-star hotel for a week.

I looked through the magic book on the bed and chewed the snack next to me.

oh my god···! Is it this good to be a prince?

Although he was unknown to the nobles, he was treated with respect by the servant maids.

A soft bed that makes you feel like you’ll fall asleep right away. Luxurious food is exchanged with every word you say, and no one is interfering with you.

Although I was not aware of my position as a prince…

“If you think about it carefully, living in the imperial palace isn’t that bad.”

There is no need to carry the body or dig a grave.

There was no one as checking or threatening as I thought.

Above all, this is the imperial palace of the Holy Emperor family, where priests and holy knights are encamped, like no other place.

Would a vampire sneak in here because he was crazy?

The Holy Family will take care of hunting down the vampires in the city.

After reading the magic book, I stood up.

“It feels like something is lacking.”

There are definitely a lot of magic books here in the imperial palace. However, it was difficult to find satisfactory results.

These days, it feels like the sexual power in my body is not increasing, as is the control of sexual power.

I feel like I’m going through a slump because something is blocking me.

I worked up my appetite and looked at the window.

It is a moonlit night.

I gently opened the door.

Just in case, the paladin looked at me with his military spirit raised.

“What’s going on?”

I want to test Amon’s skull, but I can’t use the skill because the paladins are encamped like this.

“Oh, I want to get some more magic books.”

“I will call the servants.”

“it’s okay. Let him rest in peace. Even if I went there anyway, I wouldn’t even recognize it. “I will go directly.”

“Then I will escort you.”

That’s annoying.

Since they are following you, you cannot use your skills freely.

When I arrived at the imperial library, the paladins guarded the entrance and I went inside.

Contrary to my expectations that there would be no one, there was one girl in the library.

It is different from the maid’s uniform.

The girl wearing more luxurious-looking clothes appeared to be a maid.

She had a lantern on the table and was looking through a book.

As if sensing recognition, he raised his head and looked at me.

“The maids here are having a hard time too. Are you studying liberal arts until late at night?”

The maid’s expression changed at my words. Gradually, I froze in fear.

She jumped up and took a step back.

Judging by his reaction, it seemed like he recognized me.

Well, it’s late at night and the library is closed.

Meeting the prince who raped the maid must have been shocking and terrifying.

“Don’t be too scared. Because I won’t do anything harmful. “I just came to read a book.”

Perhaps because the persuasion wasn’t enough, she just kept her mouth shut and remained silent.

I looked at her and frowned.

Isn’t this girl also an ordinary maid?

I remembered the time I met the witch Morgana and the Celtic Olfolth.

Witch Morgana was unable to check on each villager because there were so many people there. She thought Celt Allpoles was a simple gardener.

But I had to think differently.

This is the imperial palace.

Even though it may be annoying as you don’t know what kind of people there might be, it would be a good idea to check each person you meet.

[Name: Elise Astoria

Age: 15

Characteristics: Love and mercy Vast sacred power and magical knowledge Prediction of God’s Fragments Excellent fighting skills.

+ Let’s do our best to help Grandpa!]

I was surprised when I saw her condition in my mind’s eye.

Astoria?

It was the castle of Archbishop Raphael, who wrote a book about controlling sexual power.

Is she his granddaughter?

There are five archbishops in the Holy See.

One of them is a maid, and if she is in front of you, could she be the maid that the 7th prince was trying to rape?

Moreover, fragments of God…?

It’s a phrase I feel like I’ve seen before…

“excuse me···. Prince… Are you?”

But it seemed there was no need for me to worry.

She rubbed her eyes and looked at me again, as if she couldn’t believe her eyes.

Suddenly, the fear disappeared from her eyes and there was surprise and puzzlement.
