Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 33
Episode 33. The prince goes to the banquet hall.
====================
* *
Count Pomor adjusted his clothes and left the door.
He looked around the room.
Not a single drop of blood, not a single piece of flesh, or a trace of the maid’s clothes remained.
‘I lost my temper.’
My stomach feels bloated as I eat my clothes.
“hello. “Count.”
Maids passing by saw him and greeted him.
The Count of Pomor waved his bandaged hand and said to them:
“Ah, a maid named Milia.”
The maids stopped walking.
“I sent that girl to my estate as an exclusive maid. Because there aren’t enough people these days. Would you please tell the Chamberlain that you are sorry for arbitrarily deciding this matter?”
The maids looked surprised.
It was common for a maid to be noticed by a nobleman and sent to his estate.
There is also a high probability of turning your life around by becoming a concubine.
The maids nodded while showing envious looks in their eyes.
The Count of Pomor watched the maids passing by with the words, ‘Good luck!’
Now there will be no more stories about disappearances.
If you take the time, you can destroy as much evidence as you want.
The problem now is the 7th prince.
The guy is doubting himself.
No, I’m sure.
‘I used my holy power!’
There was no hesitation at all.
He held my hand, used holy power, and even made me drink wine containing holy power.
Is that it?
He even cut the back of his hand with a broken glass.
It is a barbaric method that could have been used 300 years ago.
If I had been discovered just that much, I wouldn’t have been hiding this deep.
‘But I’m sure. why? why?’
How did they know?
He recognized their identity, which could fool even the archbishop.
Did they discover a way to identify vampires during their exile?
If so, it’s dangerous.
‘We have to get rid of it.’
Killing a prince in a prosperous kingdom is not an easy task.
In that case, it must be sent back to the land of the spirits.
It will be easier to get rid of them if we send them back into exile.
Which method should I use?
The Count of Pomor thought deeply and curled the corners of his mouth.
There is no need to go out in person.
He is a loyal subject of the Holy Empire, and the 7th prince is a fool.
Aren’t there people who will take his side and those who hate the prince?
His steps headed toward the room where 1st Prince Luan was.
* *
I rolled my eyes.
I checked the information windows of those nearby.
Separately distinguish between normal people and vampires.
The nobles in the banquet hall became nervous and quietly left the place.
It was natural.
He is a bastard prince who harmed a close friend of the Count of Pomor.
If it were any other noble, it would be more, not less.
Those who used to laugh and curse are now paying attention, averting their gaze and keeping their mouths shut.
It was comfortable for me.
There is no need to talk to anyone else, so there is no need to be polite.
“It’s been a while. Allen Allfaults. “My brother!”
I lifted my gaze.
There is a smiling man in his early to mid 20s.
[Name: Rupel All Falls.
Age: 24
Characteristics: Savage disposition Excellent spear skills Ordinary body Thin ears Cowardice.
+ I will definitely be successful for my mother!]
I looked at him blankly.
For a prince, this is a really poor status window.
“Oh, I said I couldn’t remember. I am···.”
“3rd prince.”
I remembered what Harmon said.
He is said to be a ‘mama’s boy’ who has almost no presence and is recognized even in the Seonghwang family.
Although the nobles cling to him, their influence is not that great.
If there is an extra in the novel, wouldn’t it be the 3rd prince right in front of you?
“I see you remember.”
He frowned.
I smiled at him and bowed my head.
“no. I heard it from Harmon. older brother.”
“I see.”
The 3rd prince looked around.
“I can’t see the other brothers. I guess they all returned because they had work to do at the assigned territory. Don’t be too disappointed. “I also have some work to do, so I’m only here for a little while.”
He is smiling.
The corners of his mouth are twitching, so it seems like this guy is just as bad at lying as Harmon.
“Thank you.”
When I smiled, the 3rd prince tapped my shoulder.
“You made a fuss earlier. “I thought he had become calmer after coming to the imperial palace, but he has such a temperament, haha!”
He observed me as he spoke.
“I’m glad you don’t have any foolish thoughts.”
He smiled.
“If I had attended this event to see the success of the emperor, you and I would have become enemies, but that’s a good thing.”
He curled the corners of his mouth and tilted his head.
“Just like before, it’s still the same now, okay? You can do whatever you want. Oh, if you want, I will do whatever you want to do as much as I can. haha!”
He taps my shoulder.
“Then I’ll just leave.”
And then he heads towards the entrance of the banquet hall.
There is no presence… I think I know why.
That person is the type of person who just says what he has to say and leaves.
I ignored him and wrote the rest of my list.
“…it’s over.”
I sat down on the edge again.
I handed the paper to Harmon, who was standing tall.
“Now, a list of vampires in the Seonghwang family.”
“Are you sure you found everything?”
Harmon received the paper and his eyes widened.
“This is only part of it. If you look for it, there will be more hidden there. It’s hard for me to judge if I don’t look at the face closely. It’s hard to judge because everyone turns their faces to see if I’m hot. Otherwise, he would have noticed what he did to Count Pomor and avoided it.”
“Are you saying this is part of it?”
“I only chose those in the hall on the first floor. “I haven’t been to the second floor of the banquet hall.”
“There are a lot of nobles.”
I was surprised too.
Including noble servants and maids gathered here, about 100 people. About 12 of them are vampires.
5 noble servants and 7 maids.
Most of them are of good reputation.
He must have been nice to humans in order to hide his true self.
Like a farm owner who takes care of his cattle shed.
“Are you saying these are all vampires?”
“Don’t you believe it?”
Harmon shook his head at my words.
“no. “I believe it.”
“There’s no evidence?”
“If you see all the miracles the prince has shown you, you will have no choice but to believe.”
I’m glad. Because there is at least one person who believes.
Oh, are there two?
I glanced at Charlotte and then said.
“That’s amazing. A prosperous kingdom. “I didn’t know there would be this much of an answer.”
This is how much it is inside the banquet hall.
This means that there are countless vampires hiding somewhere in this imperial palace.
If I were to guess, there would be well over 30 of them.
Why is the Seonghwang family leaving them alone?
Can Gaia’s love and mercy really be equally embraced?
“It’s more than I thought. Surely they’re not at the level of the vampire count in Ronia?”
Harmon shook his head.
“He is probably not the founder.”
“father?”
“Don’t you know about the evolution process of the undead?”
The zombie retains its body, gathers magical power, evolves, and ultimately becomes a vampire.
A being that went through this kind of evolution and was born a vampire. It is called the founder.
And the being that the progenitor gave birth to as an alter ego is a ‘creature’.
It is a being granted the power of a vampire without the evolution process of an undead.
“These must be creatures. As long as the liver does not come out of the stomach, the founder will not dare to sneak into the Holy Emperor’s Kingdom.”
They were much weaker than the vampire counts in Ronia.
It probably means that he is more cunning than a minister.
I thought deeply before opening my mouth.
“You can’t hunt down vampires in the Seonghwang family?”
Harmon groaned.
“To be honest… “There is no way.”
“Isn’t your body cold?”
“Vampires can manipulate the body. “It will be easy to raise the temperature.”
“You just need to give him holy water.”
“They will drink and survive.”
“If you inject holy power, won’t your flesh burn?”
“Creatures are specialized to hide and live among humans.”
Harmon swallowed dry saliva and said.
“And their bodies are human.”
“what?”
I made a blank expression.
A vampire is a monster that can survive even if its entire body is torn to pieces as long as it has a head and heart imbued with magic.
For them, it is simple to cut off a part of their body and use it as someone else’s.
For example···.
“It is possible to cut off an entire arm or leg and attach it to someone else’s to manipulate the nerves, and it is also possible to rip off the skin and surround the entire body. In that case, you can withstand even if holy water is sprinkled or injected externally.”
“…” The fact that
the hand I was holding was still intact even after I infused it with holy power meant that it was because it was a human hand.
“What happens if you hurt it and sprinkle holy water on it? “If it were a vampire’s body, it wouldn’t be curable.”
“As I said before, these guys are wearing the shell of a human being. In response to the Holy Power, the human shell will be healed. Of course, since it is a shell, it will not be able to demonstrate its true power as a vampire.”
I stuck my tongue out.
I asked for more details about how to hunt down vampires.
“Can’t I just learn magic using holy power?”
“Those without talent cannot gather holy power.”
“What about the wound?”
“It can prevent it from healing.”
“sunlight.”
“Although my strength is weakened, I can still walk.”
“garlic.”
“It is said that vampires with unique gastronomy actually enjoy it.”
“In the case of undead, there is magical power in the heart or head. Then shouldn’t I just open it? It seems like medical technology has been quite developed. “You can confirm that much.”
“In fact, there was a vampire hunt on the continent 500 years ago. It was an incident where the heads and stomachs of 10,000 innocent people were split open. It turns out that only two of them are vampires.”
The vampires of this world are a crazy presence.
I touched my forehead.
If there was a sure way, I would have told the Emperor. However, unless there is solid evidence, even my biological grandfather will not believe me.
Since I’m broke, I’m having a lot of headaches.
headsman?
“ah! “Can’t we just kill them all?”
Wouldn’t it be easy to blow up a large canister with a shovel or musket?
This is an extremely ignorant method.
However, it is a quick and sure method that does not require any brainstorming.
There may be great confusion, but there is no better solution.
Once I kill you and prove that you are a vampire, you will trust my words from then on.
After all, it doesn’t matter if what a bastard does is a bit rough, right?
“Hamon, didn’t you have a high position?”
“I am the vice-captain of the Holy Cross. “You can move one Holy Knight corps autonomously.”
“Then let me ask you a favor.”
I handed the list to him.
“Get all the guys here and throw them away. No, just kill me.”
“…”
“I take full responsibility.”
Harmon swallowed dry saliva.
“Why can’t you do it?”
“no. I’ll do it. But are you okay?”
Harmon said with a worried tone.
“We’re at a banquet. “Moving military authority during a banquet means that the prince is also in danger.”
This is a banquet hall attended by high-ranking nobles and wealthy Celts.
The 7th Prince is gathering his troops there?
It is highly likely that it will be viewed as a coup or rebellion.
“Whether it’s a coup or a rebellion, just ignore it and kill everyone. All you have to do is take their ashes as evidence.”
I curled the corners of my mouth.
I clasped my feet and crossed them.
Anyway, we have to move quickly.
“Move as fast as you can. Otherwise, I might get hurt.”
Harmon and Charlotte’s eyes widened.
I glanced at them and said.
“Of course. I openly checked with the Count of Pomor to see if he was a vampire. He will suspect me and try to kill me. So before he moves…”
It was then.
It’s noisy outside the door.
Just as the chamberlain was about to say something, the door bursts open.
“Prince Lu Ruan! It’s not possible. “If you lead that body and go…!”
I turned my gaze toward the door.
A mummy-like figure wrapped in bandages entered.
Everyone’s eyes are on him.
The nobles screamed and covered their mouths and noses.
It is a wary reaction, as if seeing a patient suffering from the plague.
I frowned at him.
The stench of death wafts out.
What is that again? Undead…? No, it’s alive. However, if you see that it is full of magical power…
“It’s a curse. “Is it a curse that causes the body to rot?”
Harmon looked at me with surprised eyes.
He opened his mouth nervously.
“Prince. “For now, please leave the place…”
“Allen All Falls-!”
The patient, covered in bandages, is glaring at me as if angry.
And it comes.
Push away the knights blocking your way and push over the annoying table.
“First Prince. “For what reason?”
Harmon blocked my way as if to protect me. Then, she hugs the approaching 1st prince and stops him.
“First Prince?”
That person is my older brother?
Roll your eyes. The look with its mouth open looks like an undead.
[Name: Luan Olfols
Age: 27
Characteristics: Benevolent disposition Cruel disposition Rotten body Excellent talent for swordsmanship The qualities of a saintly tyrant The qualities of a thunderous tyrant.
+ Allen All Falls! I will punish you who dishonor my mother!]
This is truly a contradictory trait.
Moreover, what is engraved in the last plus factor is close to hatred.
Surely a brother born in the same litter isn’t trying to kill his younger brother?
I remembered the witch Morgana incident.
I felt anxious that it might have been sent by the 1st Prince.
Charlotte also blocks my way as if protecting me.
“How dare you insult my subjects? “Not only did you disgrace my mother and rape the archbishop’s granddaughter, but now you are even messing with my subjects!”
“Prince Luan. “If you move your body too forcefully like this…!”
Harmon also couldn’t move carelessly.
Every time he stops the prince, blood drips and pools on the floor.
“Prince Hua!”
Lately, the therapists and an old man holding a ranch came running into the banquet hall in a huff.
“You blasphemed God, disgraced your mother, and now you are trying to exclude even the loyal subjects who serve her. Why are you ruining your mother’s honor so much? “What the heck!”
Luan pushed Harmon away.
He seems to have lost his mind and runs towards me.
This was when Charlotte grabbed Luan’s arm and tried to subdue her.
“What are you doing now!”
A loud voice rang out.
Words filled with divine power filled the banquet hall.
The nobles flinched and covered their heads.
Me, Charlotte Harmon, and Luan froze and looked away.
The Chamberlain bowed down and spoke his entire text.
“God bless the precious empire… “The ruler of the great Holy Kingdom of Dharma…!”
Take a step forward.
The floor breaks and an electric current flows.
An old man wearing a white robe with golden numbers. However, unlike his small body, he has a majesty.
Every time he takes a step, it feels like a giant is approaching.
“Your Majesty, you are making a grand entrance!”
The Holy Emperor of the Holy Empire, Kelt, glared at those who caused a disturbance in the banquet hall.
