Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 54

Episode 54. 〈The prince goes to the academy. 〉

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

3rd Prince Rupel Olfolse.

It was only for a moment, but I almost forgot the name.

“Oh brother!”

“…Your reaction is slow. “I’m sure you haven’t forgotten me.”

I grinned.

Actually, I forgot. Because compared to Luan and Hilda in the Holy Empire, she was like air.

“How could you forget? “I owe you something.”

This is correct.

This guy was one of the brothers who hated me and 1st Prince Luan.

During the vampire incident, he was the one who got me out of prison because he knew I would mess up.

“But why is your brother here?”

“My mansion is located between the Aslan border area and Humite. “Have you forgotten that too?”

Was it like that?

Now that I think about it, it was clearly stated in Humite’s data that there was a third prince.

It was so small that I just skipped over it.

“That doesn’t mean you live in Humite, so what brings you here?”

“It’s hard to talk here, so let’s go get some tea.”

The place Rupel guided me to was the office inside the academy.

The maid held out the tea she had brought.

I sat down on the sofa and looked at Ruppel.

“I don’t know if you know, but Humite is part of the area under my jurisdiction.”

Rupel glared at me as he drank his tea.

“You did something in my territory without my knowledge. Allen Allfalls.”

It’s probably a story about the Black Order.

I said while drinking tea.

“If anyone hears that I did something wrong, they will misunderstand. Please tell me you solved the problem. Moreover, I moved with His Majesty’s permission.”

“That was my problem to solve.”

Ruppel said in a dissatisfied tone, as if he didn’t like it.

I smiled and said, looking at Rupel.

“Then why don’t you solve it quickly? Do you know how terrified the people were as a result of being left alone for a month? There were even casualties. Their hurt is not a problem that can be solved financially. “If you have time later, please visit their graves.”

“…Is this guy going to clear up now? “You did something wrong in the imperial palace and now you can’t see anything.”

“Do you know what I did in the imperial palace?”

I said, glaring at Rupel.

Rupel was startled and swallowed dry saliva.

He must have heard it too. About the incident that turned the imperial palace and the capital Lorensis into a sea of blood.

He said, avoiding his eyes.

“Well, didn’t you hunt vampires?”

Rupel’s hands were shaking as he drank tea.

As expected, he is a person with the trait of being a coward.

Actually, some rumors say that I started a rebellion.

There is a rumor that ‘He led the Holy Knights and tried to kill Luan.’

If that was true, Ruppel was as good as an accomplice.

Luckily it was vampire hunting. Otherwise, Ruppel and I would have spent the rest of our lives in prison.

Ruppel changed his words to hide his feelings.

“Hmm, anyway, the state of humite has been different since you came here.”

“Are you talking about the happy state of the people, with people wandering around until late at night, and Blue Santa helping the less fortunate? According to your assessment, what is the current status of Humite?”

“…I think it’s very good. “In terms of security, it is second only to Laurensis.”

Rupel looked dissatisfied and spoke honestly.

I shrugged my shoulders and said.

“Then there is no problem, right?”

“Of course I came to you because it was a problem.”

Rupel sighed and touched his forehead.

“Isn’t Blue Santa the same as the Red Devil? “How do you deal with such a being?”

“I tortured the necromancers. So he complied.”

“…I’ve seen it up close. Holy power was flowing. That is a strange creature. It is an extremely ominous being. “Is there a necromancer among your subjects? Is it an ‘angel’ or something?”

“Ah, you mean the divine undead? Isn’t it amazing? This is a technological power obtained by torturing aliens. “Wow, the Necromancer’s technical skills are the best in the world!”

“Don’t think about talking back.”

Rupel’s expression twitched.

The Holy Family has not yet mentioned the sacred undead.

But it will soon spread.

Accordingly, I also have to prepare my mind.

Depending on the response of the Seonghwangbeopguk, what I should do will also change.

“I understand that the size of the Black Church in Humite was considerable. Additionally, necromancers are still infiltrated in each city. Aslan of the South is recruiting a command corps.”

Rupel clicked his tongue and said.

“Looking at this situation, His Majesty the Holy Emperor is suspicious that the Black Church and Aslan are working together to invade the Holy Emperor’s kingdom.”

“It’s not doubt, it’s confidence.”

As soon as you find a justification that can be evidence, you say, ‘It’s looting!’ This is the grandfather who will go into battle with a huge hammer, saying, ‘This is massacre!’

That would be enough for that crazy guy.

Knowing that, Rupel also pressed his temples.

“Thanks to you, Aslan seems to have freaked out and said they are planning to dispatch an ambassador.”

Aslan must have been scared too.

There is a big difference between going to war in the Holy Empire or going to war in Aslan.

Aslan will also have to find a way to appease his angry grandfather.

I said lightly.

“If the ambassador comes, a gift will also come. It’s not an invasion, but if there was such a sign, I think the resulting gift would be significant. “Do you want to give me some pocket money?”

Although Aslan is a wasteland, it is a place with resources and funds that are second to none on the continent.

Slavery against buried magic stones and iron ore, as well as humans. These two were important factors in Aslan’s economic growth.

As the ambassador was dispatched this time, there was a high possibility that he would bring a gift to prevent war.

Depending on the amount, there will be a difference in whether Celt accepts it or not.

“I think Aslan’s ambassador will probably come to Humite here in a month.”

“I will be here in a month.”

“Are you planning on staying until then?”

“The imperial palace is tired. Besides, magic research is fun these days, and working as Santa Claus is a good fit.”

Rupel groaned and said.

“We should hold a welcome party here for the ambassador. “I also have the responsibility to safely transport the ambassador to Laurensis.”

Rupel wiggled his fingers. Perhaps because he was anxious, his legs were shaking and he looked at me.

“I hope you can at least remain calm until they come. Otherwise, since you are a transfer student, stay as a student. “Wouldn’t it be much better that way?”

“What does my quietness have to do with Ambassador Aslan?”

Rupel frowned.

“Aslan is a group that worships Judai, the god of death. “The concept is different from ours, but to them, necromancers are priests and members of the nobility.”

In Aslan, necromancers belonged to the nobility. Also, the slaves they handled were their food and source of nutrition and were beings bound for eternity as ‘immortal slaves’.

“How would you feel if you saw them being oppressed like that?”

They will surely say, ‘Are you looking down on us!’ since they have openly oppressed a noble class.

“So, let me take charge of the ambassador and help me succeed safely.”

“Do you really want me to stay with you?”

“It’s the opposite. All I ask is that you please just be quiet. “At best, just live a normal life as a student.”

Rupel put his hands together and lowered his head.

“Please, please. Let me get some credit this time. “I guess these days, I feel like I’m being forgotten by His Majesty.”

I could sense earnestness from Rupel.

In fact, now that Luan has been revived, the line of succession to the throne must have been sorted out to some extent.

1st place would be Luan, 2nd place would be Hilda, and 3rd place would be Rupel.

If something goes wrong with the Humite you manage and your diplomatic rights are disrupted, you will fall to the bottom.

However, even if Rupel asks for it, necromancers are infiltrating the city these days. Even if they do it for reconnaissance purposes, I can’t leave them alone…

“I’ll give you whatever you want.”

Those words piqued my ears.

“Anything?”

“okay. What do you want? I have some authority here. “I will do my best to listen to what you want to say.”

“Then, the ‘Spellbook of Demon King Amon’ stored in the Academy. “I would like to see that.”

I immediately took out the business.

Rupel’s expression hardened.

“…You cannot see that without His Majesty’s permission.”

Yeah, that was the problem.

The prosperous Celts spared no effort in interrogating me for heresy and providing unconditional support. However, restrictions were placed on the magic books for Amon, the Demon King. There’s nothing you can’t see if you force it, but there’s an emergency, so I hope the 3rd prince will share the responsibility together.

“How could it not be? If you do that, I will spend my school days quietly, just like you said. “If you want, I’ll let you graduate.”

Of course, nighttime activities will be done as quietly as possible. After all, we can’t just leave the infiltrating necromancers alone.

“No, if I have to graduate, I’ll be in trouble. Anyway, think about it. You can sneak it out. But if you get caught, you will be severely scolded.”

“I will also take responsibility, so don’t worry.”

“…I get it. Let me try. “It just takes time.”

I nodded.

“great.”

This is a satisfactory result.

I drank my tea with a satisfied smile.

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

“But I’m asking just in case…”

“…?”

“Do you know how to distinguish between vampires, lycans, and necromancers?”

These days, there has been a strange rumor going around in the Holy Kingdom.

The vampire slayer, the lycan butcher, etc. Now it’s a story about angels and all, weapons.

It seems like it’s referring to me, but it’s mostly an exaggerated rumor.

“Yes, there is.”

Rupel’s eyes widened.

It was surprising. For the past hundreds of years, it has been judged impossible to distinguish between vampires and necromancers.

“Really… do you know? how?”

“Do you know about the incident I experienced in the northern exile?”

Rupel was shocked and closed his mouth.

The incident in which the 7th prince almost died is a taboo situation that even the brothers of the Holy Imperial Family are reluctant to talk about.

Rupel, who was silent for a while, nodded and said.

“Know. “Isn’t this the Witch Morgana incident?”

Rupel answered in a low voice. I’m quite nervous.

I decided to match that expression.

I spoke with the expression on Buddha’s face when he attained enlightenment.

“At that time there was a revelation from God.”

Rupel’s expression hardened.

“Revelation from God? Are you saying you received Gaia’s protection?”

“Gaia specifically told me how to distinguish between wicked people.”

“method? So does that mean others can do it too?”

“Do you want to know?”

Rupel nodded several times.

Pretty serious. That must be how impatient it is.

If it becomes successful, you will have to deal with troublesome monsters such as vampires, necromancers, and lycans.

Well, it would be okay if I could give you a little tip.

“It’s simple.”

I explained briefly.

“I place in front of me a statue of a god served by the Holy Emperor.”

I used a vase as an example.

Place the vase in front of you.

“And put your hands together and pray with earnest heart and bow.”

“Pray? Bow?”

“Yes, um, and I am reciting a spell. It is a favorite praise song of the gods of the ancient times.”

“Is there such a thing?”

I smiled brightly and nodded,

“Do you know that it is Buddhist scripture?”

* *

After telling me some Buddhist scriptures that I didn’t know, I left the visit.

A strange sound was heard between the doors.

Hey, that’s a good test.

Isn’t it really curious?

The person who called Gaia a slut was the former owner of my body.

And I don’t know if that karma is directed at me or if it’s just a coincidence, but I’m going through a lot of trouble.

If God was a prankster, I wondered what would happen to the 3rd prince, Rupel.

Will you suffer like me? Or should I just ignore it?

Actually, it’s half a joke. Even God wouldn’t get along with a prank like this.

“If I ever get tested…”

I looked at Rupel’s office with a sympathetic smile.

Third Prince, I will not forget your sacrifice. Don’t worry.

You too may grow through trials.

“Anyway, I’m a student…”

I looked at the transfer document Rupel held out.

I was told to go quietly for a month until the ambassador arrived.

Come to think of it…

“Didn’t you say that Charlotte goes here too?”

Maybe I’ll get a chance to meet her.

* *

A remote village on the outskirts of Humite.

Blood welled up on Oscar’s forehead.

“Charlotte you are a member of the Golden Cross. “I absolutely obey the orders of the Holy Family.”

“…I swear to follow and serve the Prince.”

Oscar’s mouth muscles twitched.

Who on earth does this stubbornness resemble?

“You must serve His Majesty, not the Prince!”

“…”

Charlotte swallowed the words in her heart, ‘Then I will leave the Golden Cross.’ There is

still more to learn here.

She has grown amazingly as she has been with these people.

She has learned that. I felt it firsthand.

Oscar looked at her dissatisfied and said,

“Starting today, the training intensity will be doubled. Any objections?”

“…doesn’t exist.”

Oscar picked up the sheath again.

The next day, she was eating lunch in the Academy cafeteria.

Her face and arms were covered in bloody bandages.

The students around her looked at her and whispered,

“That body is not like a horse, so is it okay?”

She glanced to the side.

A familiar boy slowly approached her and sat down next to her.

He was the boy who had insulted his parents in Ronia.

His name was ‘Hais’. He

was the eldest son of the Count Hedron family.

He was especially attractive to her. He showed a lot of interest in.

“It’s okay.”

She ignored him and continued eating.

Heiss walked up to her and gently took something out of her arms.

“It’s a potion. It’s very precious. If you use it, the wounds will be…”

“It’s okay.”

Oscar said that

you should learn how to endure pain. It is

said that if you cannot move your injured body, you will be hunted by monsters.

There was a lot to learn from him other than ‘absolute orders’.

It is still worth following.

“Is that so?”

Heiss quenched his appetite with regret. He looked at her with his eyes. She

was expressionless.

She was mature, chaste, and haughty. Fascinated

by that, Heiss stared at her face for a while as if fascinated.

Just by looking at the scars. It was a serious injury that Heiss couldn’t move.

It must have been painful, but she didn’t show any signs of pain.

What on earth did she do to get hurt like this every time?

When Heiss tried to muster up the courage to talk to her again, she stood up.

“Oh, wait a minute. !”

As she was about to leave the restaurant with her food tray, Heiss hurriedly followed her.

At that time, Charlotte’s vision became blurred. The

accumulated fatigue made her dizzy for a moment.

The sounds around her disappeared. All she could see in her eyes was a world in black and white.

Due to the anemia that occurred briefly, she lost her balance and almost fell.

There was someone who offered her up.

“Ah, thank you… thank you.”

Charlotte was thankful that she almost spilled the tray, but she tried to gently push the person who helped her out with her hand.

At that time, a familiar voice sounded in her ear:

“Are you okay?”

Charlotte’s shoulders twitched.

She couldn’t believe her ears.

She looked around to check the other person’s face.

“It’s been a while. But what’s going on? Your face…”

Her eyes widened and her pupils twitched. It slowly went up.

There was someone who caught her eye in the earth-colored world.

“Hwang…”

The other person pretended to cover her mouth with his finger at her.

Seeing that, she fell silent.

“If you call me that here, No. Let me introduce my name.”

The person she wanted to protect so much was in front of her.

The boy smiled and spoke.

He was using a different name now.

“My name is Jeron…”

Allen…

“Lifang.”

All Falls.

He smiled and said.

“I came here for a short time. “It’s been a while. Don’t be so indebted to me, Charlotte.”

The 7th Prince was in front of her.
