Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 38

Episode 38 The prince goes to enjoy the festival.

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

Third Prince Rupel stood in front of the door.

He gritted his teeth. Still, I was tearing out my hair.

After releasing the 7th prince, he returned to his mansion located in the east out of fear of being reprimanded.

The news he received as soon as he arrived at the mansion was about the capital Lorensis and the imperial palace.

I don’t know the details. But it is certain that the imperial palace has become a sea of blood.

‘I just got Allen out of jail!’

Could it be that Allen started a rebellion? But the news is a little late for that.

Rather, the opposite is likely.

The rumor is that a ‘vampire hunt’ took place. If so, it would have nothing to do with what he did.

He swallowed dry saliva and opened the door.

A middle-aged woman was sitting on a bed in a luxurious room with a blank expression on her face.

“mother.”

It was Rose, the second wife of the Crown Prince, the son of the Holy Emperor.

She turned her thin face to the side and looked at Rupel.

“Oh my baby. “Welcome!”

“I’ve been there.”

Ruppel approached her.

He sat down on the chair next to the bed.

“welcome. young master.”

Rupel looked away.

A maid in her late 20s is seen.

She is an attractive woman with black hair and black eyes.

She smiled at him with a dirty look in her eyes.

There is someone caressing Rupel’s cheek as he looks at her as if fascinated.

“Baby.”

Rupel looked away.

Cold, dry eyes are staring at him.

“I heard a story from the capital.”

“…”

“Are you the one who freed the 7th prince? And the reason there was an uproar in the imperial palace because of that?”

This is my mother who was in a hospital bed. Why does she know better than him?

“That thing…”

Rose picked up the vase that was on the shelf and struck it mercilessly at Rupel’s head.

“I told you to be so quiet! I told you not to do anything that would displease the Emperor! “You’re ruining everything!”

Rupel held his head and groaned. He looked at his mother.

Mother Rose tilts her head. The distorted expression looked at Rupel for a moment with a worried expression, as if it had been like that for a while.

“Ah my baby. I’m sorry! This mother loves you. My son Rupel. “My first child!”

Rose got out of bed and hugged Rupel.

Rupel fell silent at her words.

‘My first child, Rupel,’ came out of her mouth. However, he was her ‘second child’.

She only had eyes for her first son. He, the second son, was ‘a being without even a name.’

“You have to be successful. That’s what I was born for. Do you understand? baby.”

Rose smiled.

What a gentle smile.

“So the crown prince won’t look after me? “It’s me, Rose, not that lowly bitch Yulicia.”

For her, her son was a way to become a successful emperor and a tool to win the favor of the crown prince who had already disappeared.

Rupel gritted his teeth.

His expression was distorted with anger, but he held it back.

He said with a forced smile.

“of course. mother. I am sure it will be a success.”

* *

The vampire hunt began and half of those on the list were hunted that day.

“Look! “The filthy appearance of these people…!”

There were tied up vampires in the square.

“These are people who sold their souls to vampires to maintain their youth!”

Those who became vampires, fascinated by strong power and greedy for eternal life, took off their human masks. They had their skin peeling off and their faces were hideously distorted.

“God’s judgment will be upon them!”

A partition is erected.

An Inquisitor holding a scythe decapitated the vampire.

In the shadow of the partition, a decapitated figure can be seen.

The body is burned.

Ash was created and shown to the people as evidence.

This is not for show to the people. It was an example and warning to vampires.

“We are believers with God’s eyes! No vampires can hide in this thriving kingdom. “Under Gaia’s protection, those who lead a false life will be identified and punished.”

The Inquisitor spread his hands and declared.

“There is no place for vampires here anymore!”

In the basement of the imperial palace, the surviving vampires were screaming.

They were good experimental material.

The Red Cross injected various drugs into vampires and tested their reactions.

“I never thought there would be an opportunity to gather a large number of vampires. Thanks to this, there will be an opportunity for medical magic and alchemy to advance.”

For the Red Cross, vampires were valuable magic ingredients and laboratory rats.

Monsters that regenerate infinitely. There is no experiment material as good as them.

This incident of the Holy Emperor was known throughout the continent.

-The Seonghwangbeopguk has finally figured out how to distinguish between vampires!

Vampires who were frightened by this disappeared or fled to other countries.

The Seonghwangbeopguk served as an opportunity to once again announce itself as a religious nation on the continent.

Everything went smoothly.

In the prosperous kingdom, incidents caused by vampires have decreased.

Now peace will last.

I thought so.

“Then we will now begin the interrogation of Allen Allpols.”

The only problem was that I had to stand in court.

* *

In what appears to be a courtroom, I stand tall where criminals stand.

Fortunately, there were no shackles or anything like that.

In front of me was Archbishop Raphael of the Holy See as a judge, and bishops were sitting on either side.

On the left of the second floor balcony, the Holy Emperor Celt was sitting on the throne, and on the right, the First Prince Ruan, the brother of the Holy Emperor, was sitting on the throne.

“Let us begin the interrogation of Allen Allpols. The 7th Prince led his soldiers and disrupted the imperial palace. This violates the laws of the Seonghwang family…”

“That’s not even funny.”

Raphael lowered the document he was reading and looked away.

Seonghwang, who was sitting on the balcony on the second floor, glared at them with his clasped fingers.

The emperor raises his head in an arrogant manner.

“What did you violate?”

Although the voice is low, it carries weight.

Archbishops and bishops cowered.

“The troops were moved without permission. Accordingly, charges of rebellion…”

“In times of emergency, anyone with blood from the Seonghwang family has military power.”

Raphael this time turned his attention to the second floor balcony on the right.

First Prince Luan, sitting on the throne with his sword in hand, looks down at them.

A harsh, disdainful gaze glared at the archbishop and bishops.

“Then there won’t be any problems, right? Besides, what’s the problem if the people involved, His Majesty Shenghuang and I, Luan Allpols, are fine?”

Under the gaze of the two men, the bishops lowered their heads in cold sweat as if they were sinners.

“If there is a problem, I will call in my Red Cross. Shouldn’t you check it out? “Did my brother rebel, or are you distrustful?”

The bishops’ faces turned pale.

It was only a month ago that the imperial palace was turned into a sea of blood.

Raphael carefully stood up from his seat and waved his hand.

“First Prince. For now, calm down. “This is just…”

Yes, this was just a ‘formal’ proceeding.

In the first place, they have no authority to punish me.

Although he was guilty of disturbing the imperial palace, he succeeded to some extent in driving out the vampires who had been in an evil relationship for hundreds of years.

Moreover, even the 1st prince Luan has the feat of breaking a curse and curing himself.

In fact, after this trial, he was scheduled to receive an award in recognition of his contribution.

Archbishop Raphael cleared his throat. The bishops were trembling with fear and could not raise their heads.

On either side are two monsters whose angry personalities turned the imperial palace into a sea of blood.

Their every word must be pressure.

Hey Archbishop, you managed to survive in such a bean-dusted family.

Archbishop Raphael said the formalities and then entered the final part.

“Hmm, I’ll end this…”

I guess it’s over now. Raphael kept his mouth shut while I yawned out of boredom.

He looked at me and was silent for a while.

As the bishops looked at him in confusion, Raphael spoke again.

“The 7th Prince…”

His eyes turned to the bishops around him and then he opened his mouth again.

“Are you related to the necromancer?”

I frowned at Raphael.

This was the thing that was the most problematic.

By chance, the Archbishop discovered the Holy Undead.

Since his knowledge of magic is considerable, he will probably have doubts.

This time, the Emperor and the First Prince were silent.

This is probably because they also received some reports.

I don’t know about anything else, but if it was related to necromancers, they should know.

I said with a smile.

“no. “Is that possible?”

“7th prince. “Some people have seen it!”

Raphael shouted. Still, I could see his eyes shaking.

That was a nursery rhyme.

Rather than being agitated by my shamelessness, I think I feel fear at seeing unknown, unknown magic.

“Where are those who saw it?”

I looked around.

Only the Holy Emperor, Prince, Archbishops, and Bishops of the Holy Empire gather here.

Paladins were also excluded.

This is because it would not be good to know that the grandson of Seonghwang dared to be associated with a necromancer.

I looked at the archbishop again.

“Isn’t there anyone there?”

“Are you really telling a lie? “I am sacred…”

Raphael stuttered.

He touched his forehead as if denying reality.

Raphael took a breath and opened his mouth.

“I witnessed a sacred undead being summoned. “Isn’t that what 7th Prince Allen Olfolse did?”

This time the bishops looked at Raphael in shock.

Their gaze was a sight to behold.

There is a sense of absurdity and embarrassment.

I had seen undead, but this was the first time it was mentioned that they were divine undead.

The report would have been sent only to the Emperor and the First Prince.

The Paladins must have entered the recruitment process.

Raphael also felt the gaze and broke into a cold sweat.

No matter how many witnesses there are, it will only sound crazy.

To the Paladins, it can be said that it is a deceptive magic close to trickery or mental control and a conspiracy of vampires.

But Raphael is different.

There was no way that someone as powerful as the Archbishop would mistake illusions or mind control.

I sighed.

I don’t think anyone can fool the Archbishop.

Can not help it. If he asks this, I have no choice but to answer.

I looked at him with a serious face.

“Do you want to know the truth?”

Holy Emperor Celt, 1st Prince Ruan, and Archbishop Raphael look at me.

There was a quiet silence.

Raphael opened his mouth with a trembling voice.

“Do you admit it?

I smiled at them.

“no.”

* *

I left the courthouse.

“Thank you for your effort. “Are you okay?”

Charlotte, dressed as a maid, lowered her head with an expressionless face and put a coat on me.

In fact, she feels more like a reliable escort driver than a maid.

“are you okay.”

I walked towards the imperial palace.

As she followed, she looked at my complexion.

It seems quite worrying.

Actually, I fainted for about 3 weeks and then woke up.

At that time, I was suffering from a high fever.

It was doubtful whether he would have been able to wake up if Archbishop Raphael and maid Ellis had not been by his side.

Even though I used Amon’s skull, I had no idea that the side effects or penalty for [Resurrection] would be this severe.

The future is a headache.

The sacred undead issue will also be investigated, and more people will want to ask about [resurrection].

Now you can refuse with the excuse that you’re not feeling well, but that excuse doesn’t last long.

“See you, the prince.”

Harmon greeted me in the hallway.

He was more interested in Charlotte than me.

“His Majesty the Holy Emperor is calling.”

Charlotte tilted her head.

She couldn’t help but be surprised that the Holy Emperor called her, a commoner.

“All right.”

Charlotte lowered her head.

“Then please excuse me.”

When Harmon lowered his head and was about to take Charlotte away, I called out to him.

“Ah, Harmon.”

I summoned a shovel from the item window and threw it at him.

“The shovel is broken.”

The handle broke during a sparring match with 1st Prince Luan.

I felt attached to it because I had been using it since the monastery, but at the same time, I was disappointed.

“Get me a shovel.”

Harmon looked back and forth between Sap and me with a perplexed expression on his face.

“You mean a shovel? Would you rather learn swordsmanship?”

“What do you mean swordsmanship? Am I the one to wield the sword?”

I shrugged my shoulders.

“Who am I? I am a priest. “How can I swing a sword like that?”

Harmon touched his forehead.

“I don’t think it makes more sense for a priest to be wielding a shovel.”

“A sword and a shovel are completely different.”

“Yes, it is very different. “It’s even weirder for a priest to be wielding a shovel.”

“Then why don’t you give me a familiar weapon? “I’ve only been digging, so what can I do?”

“You mean a familiar weapon? Even if you say that… Ah! Then it would be better to make it at all.”

Harmon thought deeply and then looked at me.

“There is a mine in the northwest that includes a Yeongji iron mine and a magic mine.”

northwestward?

Harman spoke of a territory to the northwest.

It is a territory ruled by the first princess and the largest armory of the Holy Emperor’s Kingdom.

A factory where fairy dwarves, known as the dexterous hands of God, enter into contracts and produce all kinds of goods in large quantities.

“Hilda Estate. “There, you can make not only regular weapons but also magic weapons.”

Harmon said with an awkward expression.

“Perhaps we can make a weapon suitable for the prince there. also···.”

Harmon thought deeply and said.

“You can also get muskets. These days, they are famous as decorations for nobles.”

“okay?”

I thought of a musket.

Now that I think about it, I found an old item that was used as an ornament at Ronia Estate.

But what if it’s a better product?

“Hilda Yeongjira…”

If it were a proper musket, what power would it have?
