Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 31

Episode 31 The prince goes to the banquet hall.

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

She is a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes.

I was puzzled by her question.

You don’t recognize me. It seems like it hasn’t been long since I was assigned here.

I looked at the book she was reading.

[Healing and the impossible miracle of resurrection.]

This is a subject I have seen a lot somewhere.

It must have been written by Raphael Astoria.

My granddaughter is amazing.

Studying until late at night. Moreover, it is a fairly high level magic book.

This means that Raphael’s granddaughter’s level is high enough to read this level of magic books.

“It looks like the grandfather has a granddaughter.”

I said that and approached the girl.

She was startled and stepped back.

It was a cautious step backwards.

It is a rude thing to dare to do to a prince.

When I realized this, I bowed my head and took polite action, albeit belatedly.

I looked at the magic book with a wry smile.

[Resurrection].

This is truly an interesting subject.

I looked at the maid.

“Oh, I guess I interrupted you.”

“no. “I was just planning to clean up and leave.”

The maid lowered her head.

Looking at her body facing towards the entrance, it seems like she has a strong tendency to avoid me.

In fact, he has a history of raping the daughter of a noble family who is not even a maid. It is worth being cautious.

“Okay, get some rest.”

I waved my hand and sat down. And I looked through the book.

It’s an interesting subject. It seems to refer to resurrection through the use of sacred power rather than the necromancer’s magical power.

“I don’t think it’s necessarily impossible because it’s resurrection.”

“…It’s impossible.”

I looked at the maid.

This was what the maid who was about to go out the door stopped and looked back.

The maid was startled and lowered her head.

“Please forgive my rudeness.”

“The reason is?”

“yes?”

The maid, Ellis, raised her head and had a blank expression.

I said, pressing my fingers against the pages of the book.

“The reason is?”

“…No matter how life-giving the holy power is, it can revive the body but cannot capture the soul that has already left the body. “That would be impossible even if Gaia performed a miracle.”

“What if you could capture souls?”

“That is an impossible task for a priest with holy powers. “If anything is possible, it is necromancy with conflicting properties.”

“What if you have two qualities?”

“It’s impossible. Their nature is contradictory. If you apply both holy power and magical power at the same time, your body will explode and disappear. “There won’t even be a soul left.”

It’s a no-brainer answer.

“Well, I don’t think it’s impossible. “It’s called ‘resurrection.’”

Ellis frowned at my words.

I turned over the magic book. Still, I muttered to myself.

“What is better sexual power control…?”

“It will be a prayer to God.”

“Other than prayer?”

“Wizards use mana and spells. Clerics use holy power and prayer. Warlocks use natural forces at the cost of magic power and lifespan. “If you are looking for a way other than prayer, there is a magic tool.”

If you have any questions, ask yourself.

“Is magic impossible without preparatory work?”

“it’s possible. Spells and prayers are meant to be arranged based on images in your head. Training allows for skipping, but it is not efficient in gathering vast amounts of energy and exploiting low usage. but···.”

Ellis, who was far away from my question, gave additional explanation.

“…If you have infinite sacred power that can withstand everything, you will be able to handle the power of nature without all that.”

This is a truly satisfying answer.

Time passes.

Before I knew it, the lantern had gone out and the morning sunlight was shining on the window.

When I yawned and rubbed my sleepy eyes, she was not in the library.

I felt sorry for no reason.

This is because I think the maid who was trying to rest may have been held captive all night.

“…Now let’s get things sorted out.”

I closed the magic book and stood up.

When I opened the library door, what I saw was Harmon.

He looked at me with a puzzled expression.

“There is a banquet next week. Are you ready?”

Now that I think about it, I see that the king is preparing a banquet.

Lord Gerald of the North and Grill are invited, and Charlotte is also said to attend the banquet.

“Can’t we just skip that annoying thing?”

“The prince will feel at ease only when his merits are recognized.”

I worked up an appetite.

I think it’s going to get even more annoying.

“and···. “Were you with Ellis a little while ago?”

“huh? Oh yeah. Wow, that kid is amazing. The magic knowledge is enormous! “Thanks to you, all my curiosity has disappeared?”

It feels like something that was tightly closed has been opened up.

Harmon looked at me like that and cautiously opened his mouth.

“Did anything happen?”

“what? Are you afraid I’ll attack him? “What do you think of me?”

Harmon, the time you and I spent together… It doesn’t do much, but it’s still life and death.

Are you really doubting me?

I was about to stick my tongue out and say that.

“Already once… I did.”

“…what?”

“I tried to attack you… Ellis Astoria. “The prince is the granddaughter of Raphael, one of the five archbishops who were attempted.”

At those words, my mind went blank.

* *

As Ellis walked down the corridors of the imperial palace, the image of the prince came to mind.

“Prince…? 7th prince? Allen Allfaults?”

She frowned. And shook his head.

“no.”

That’s true. But something feels different.

It is a heterogeneous sensation, as if two qualities are mixed together.

I heard that after the suicide incident, he lost his memory and even his personality changed.

But it was strange that even his ‘temperature’ had changed.

When she first saw the 7th Prince, she was terrified.

But that was too much of a worry.

He sat down quietly, read the book, and asked as if asking a question.

Ellis answered it.

It happened again every time I tried to leave.

She told the story out of fear that the pod would be caught.

It was scary at first. I thought that even if there was even the slightest gap, they would do it right away.

But as time passed, the level of questions he asked increased.

That was quite interesting.

I didn’t even notice time passing.

The thing in front of you is clearly someone who has harmed you, but inside it seems to be something else.

Before I knew it, I found myself observing the prince and anticipating what questions he would ask.

oh my god···. No matter how intense human curiosity and desire for exploration is, observing a person who tried to rape oneself!

It was crazy. She thought she was crazy.

“You’re here.”

Ellis looked up.

His grandfather, Raphael Astoria, was standing in front of the room where the 1st Prince was staying.

“I went to the room and it wasn’t there. “Where have you been until now?”

Ellis smiled and said to the grandfather who looked worried.

“I was studying in the library.”

Raphael showed a happy expression.

“You are so curious like me. I’m worried that I might harm myself. And be careful. The 7th prince is here now. “Try not to run into him.”

Ellis flinched at those words.

Thanks to my excessive curiosity, I ended up spending a night with the 7th prince.

What kind of misunderstanding will my grandfather have if he finds out about this?

I might take the ranch and go back to the prince.

Ellis showed a bright smile.

“Do not worry. “Thanks to my mother who gave birth to me healthy, I am growing up to be a strong child.”

“Oh my granddaughter!”

Raphael hugged his granddaughter lovingly.

Ellis smiled like a merciful goddess and patted her grandfather’s head.

“Is that okay?”

Raphael looked worried.

He said his granddaughter was praised as a genius, but what she was about to do was too heavy for her to handle.

“yes I’m okay.”

Raphael handed over a bird’s beak mask and a medical robe.

“Don’t overdo it. “Then let’s go in.”

Ellis put on a bird-beak mask and a robe and looked at the door where the first prince was.

knock.

Open the door and go in.

There is the 1st prince in bed suffering from pain.

It is a body that rots and crumbles. Unable to bear the pain, he ran wild in bed.

Therapists wearing bird-beak masks came first and tied up his limbs and oppressed him.

Healing magic was used.

Next to him, Ellis also assisted.

I looked at 1st Prince Luan through the transparent glass tube inside the mask.

Cold sweat flows.

They were busy preserving their rotting bodies again.

I put a lot of effort into controlling the Holy Power in case it goes to the cursed heart.

She was praised as a ‘genius’, ‘a genius’, or ‘a girl who might be a saint’.

But in front of First Prince Luan, she was just an incompetent healer.

Only after 7 hours had passed did the treatment stop.

The therapists opened the door and came out.

They took off their bird-beak masks and all looked empty.

I touched my forehead or sat down. Or sigh in frustration.

Ellis was no different from them.

She had a vain expression beneath her mask.

“Ellis.”

Archbishop Raphael took off his bird-beaked mask.

He too is drenched in sweat.

When there was no response, his eyes turned to Ellis.

Still wearing her mask, she stood in place blankly.

It happens every time, but it must be a big shock.

“…don’t blame yourself. “This is impossible.”

Ellis flinched.

“impossible···.”

Raphael realized his mistake when he saw her talking.

She wanted to save the first prince more than anyone else.

It was not the right thing for a grandfather to do, to sentence a dying patient to death in front of her.

“…You must be very tired, so get some rest. “I will tell the royal family well.”

She nodded.

I walk down the hallway with unsteady steps. And when I turned the corner, my legs became weak and I collapsed.

‘I couldn’t treat it…’

She took off her mask.

The blonde hair was wet and flowing.

She had a despairing expression.

‘why···? ‘Why do I have a fragment of Gaia…?’

She knows that she is a ‘saint.’

I know that he is still growing and will become even more powerful in the future.

However, even if he grows, it is unlikely that he will be able to cure 1st Prince Luan.

‘If it continues like this…’

The 1st prince dies.

Not only will you die, you will become undead.

impossible.

right. It’s exactly what my grandfather said.

The fact that there was magic in the heart meant that the curse could not be lifted unless one died.

-I don’t think it’s necessarily impossible since it’s a resurrection.

Ellis remembered what the 7th prince said.

[resurrection].

It is a miracle that only appears in mythology.

It was also an area where it was absolutely impossible to defy the laws of nature.

If that were the case, it would definitely be possible to treat the first prince.

She mobilized all the knowledge she had in her head.

I wondered if it was possible, but I gave up my expectations.

It’s not even funny.

He has hinted that it is impossible and is hoping for such a miracle.

In the end, there was nothing she could do.

She covered her head in frustration.

“Are you sure this is it?”

I looked at the report Harmon had written.

This is the 7th prince’s actions and character relationships that Harman saw in the imperial palace.

When I first asked him at the monastery, Harman didn’t even mention Ellis.

When asked the reason, they say ‘maintaining security’.

In fact, the incident of the 7th prince’s rape of his maid is known even to the village in the land of the Four Spirits.

Even the people said that so-and-so’s granddaughter was raped…! If word got out, it would be troublesome.

“Yes, that’s right. “That’s it.”

Harmon says so, but avoids eye contact.

“…It’s strange. “There is no information about your mother and father?”

“Do you even need that? “You remember it anyway, right?”

“Remember what? “I forgot everything.”

“You don’t have to hide it from me. Aren’t we on a boat together?”

“This guy is trying to walk a tightrope? That’s it. “Speak quickly.”

Harmon looked perplexed.

He thought deeply and then opened his mouth.

“When you two were together, you lived a perfectly normal life.”

The guy avoids gaze again.

It’s definitely a lie.

Even if you asked someone other than Harman, the answer wouldn’t come out.

Even the maid servants were reluctant to mention the 7th Prince’s father and mother.

In fact, it is a matter at stake for the royal family of the Seonghwang family.

Unless you are a high-ranking noble, it would be difficult to even mention it.

Harmon seemed to divert the conversation by talking about another topic.

“Tomorrow is the banquet. Are you ready?”

“no.”

Harmon told him to learn liberal arts, but he did not learn them separately.

If there is not enough time to learn magic, where is the time to learn culture?

Harmon sighed.

“If you look wrong, you might be laughed at. “Charlotte is working hard in her room to learn so as not to cause trouble to the prince.”

“Just relax and enjoy yourself. Isn’t that what a party is about in the first place?”

“There is a difference between a party and a banquet.”

Harmon sighed and said.

“What do you plan to do if the First Prince attends?”

After hearing those words, I looked through the documents Harmon gave me.

“…I don’t know anything about the first prince?”

“I forgot.”

Harmon’s gaze turned to the sky this time.

This guy’s lies are worse than those of a child.

“So who is the first prince?”

Harmon hesitated, but when I clearly looked at him, he seemed to give up and opened his mouth.

“Luan Allfaults.”

Harmon lowered his gaze and looked at me.

“…He is the prince’s older brother, born in the same boat.”
