Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 56

Episode 56. 〈 Rupel All Falls 〉

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

Lunch time.

I was at Humite’s shopping mall as usual.

Three weeks have already passed since I started living at the academy.

While Charlotte and Heiss went to buy food, Harmon came to the bench where I was sitting.

“…Necromancers are active these days.”

Harmon sat next to me.

He handed me a fruit drink, wondering where he got it from.

I said, taking it and drinking it.

“That’s right. “It’s not even a cockroach. If you get rid of one, two will come out.”

They were often seen every night.

In particular, they were gathering near Humite.

They kidnapped and interrogated everyone in sight, but there was no result.

“There won’t be any leftover necromancers, so is it okay to send them out like this?”

“It would be sending these people who have little life left to be disposed of. “And those with mediocre skills.”

Are you saying you are going to send it without the need for recycling?

Thanks to this, I haven’t made any progress either.

A sigh came out of my mouth.

“If you look at this level of persistence, it means that the ‘Chaos Plan’ is still in progress… What is Aslan’s line?”

“He’s on his way.”

“Are you still in denial?”

“Yes, that may be the only way for them. You’ll want to avoid war in Aslan’s territory. However, they won’t be confident enough to break down the wall and take on the heavenly army.”

The Black Church still hasn’t given up on anything.

Additionally, Aslan’s ambassador did not delay his visit to this place.

Are you really planning on going to war?

How do they plan to push through the border area, which has huge walls, a heavenly army, and even a golden cross stationed there?

Or is it really unrelated to the Black Church?

It was a time when I was thinking deeply.

“Aren’t you the 7th prince?”

Harmon and I turned our heads.

I saw a beautiful lady in her early to mid 30s.

Harmon was so startled that he almost spit out the fruit juice he was drinking.

Harmon stood up hurriedly. Place your hands on your chest and lower your waist to show respect.

“I meet Crown Princess Lo Rose Hua.”

Crown Princess?

I was startled and looked at the lady with my eyes.

[Name: Rose Darina.

Age: 45

Characteristics: Fragile body, feeble mind, confusion and chaos, crazy obsession.

+ I will definitely make my son successful! Ah, Prince! I love you!]

I was shocked when I used my mind’s eye to see her name.

The crown prince’s second wife, according to the information Harman previously provided.

Rose Darina.

She was the mother of the 3rd prince, Rupel.

I said hello lightly.

She smiled. And it came slowly.

“What brings the 7th Prince here?”

Although it was only for a moment, the gaze that was looking at me was not kind.

It seems like he hates me like Rupel.

I smiled and spoke lightly.

“I decided to attend the academy thanks to Brother Ruppel’s recommendation.”

I couldn’t say that I was here to torture the necromancers and extract their technical skills, so I just kept talking.

Rose frowned.

“You mean our Rupel?”

‘Our Rupel’ seems to care very much about his son.

“I can’t believe the second prince didn’t talk to me about it. “It’s a really sad story.”

“Second Prince?”

I tilted my head.

Who are you talking about?

Now that I think about it, Harmon didn’t tell me about any of the brothers of the Seonghwang family who were particularly related to Rose.

“Who is the 2nd Prince Harmon?”

I whispered to Harmon.

Harmon broke into a cold sweat.

“That’s…”

“Mother!”

At that time, a carriage pulled up on the street.

The person who got out of the carriage was Rupel Orfols.

He was surprised to see Rose and ran towards her. Seeing Rupel, Rose smiled brightly and hugged him.

“Ah, my lovely Rupel! Mother. “You’re here. How cute are you? The Crown Prince will be so happy to see you grow up!”

“No, that’s it… Mother…”

Rupel looked away. When he saw me, his face hardened.

Well, that would be a shame. This is a grown up young man being held in his mother’s arms and receiving love.

Was it because of this? The reason why he is called a mama’s boy recognized by the imperial palace.

“Has my son eaten?”

“Mother’s body…”

“This mother cooked the food herself.”

It is a heartwarming scene of the mother and son.

Still, it would be rare to see a mother and child who care for each other like these people in a successful family.

Rupel, you have a good mother.

It was time for me to hold out my tongue in bitterness.

“Ah, our second prince Rupel. You have to do really well on this one. Talk to Ambassador Aslan carefully. got it? Our Rupel! “My sweet first child!”

I froze and looked at Rupel and Rose alternately.

Wait, what do you mean?

Not the 3rd prince but the 2nd prince?

“What are you talking about?”

I unconsciously said to Harmon.

“Second Prince? “3rd prince?”

Rupel gritted his teeth and looked at Harmon.

Harmon whispered in my ear.

“I’ll tell you later.”

…Do you mean there is an inside story?

“Mom, let’s get in the carriage first. It would be difficult if you came out alone like this. “If you get lost like last time…”

“I understand.”

Rose nodded.

Then he glanced at me, gave me an unpleasant look, and got into the carriage.

Rupel took out an object from the carriage.

“It’s what you wanted.”

Ruppel threw a book.

I accepted it.

It is tightly packed with cloth.

The fabric had a rough texture, as if it had been tied tightly with something like a chain.

It appears to be a magic book used by Amon, the Demon King I mentioned before.

I looked at Rupel, forgetting my joy.

“Brother, what happened…”

“I don’t know.”

Rupel said and got into the carriage.

The carriage took off and was out of sight.

I frowned as I looked at that back.

“…Harmon, what happened?”

Harmon groaned.

This may be because even if he is the vice-captain of the Holy Cross, he cannot speak carelessly about the Holy Family.

“If I give you an order as an Inquisitor, are you going to refuse? How can the 3rd prince become the 2nd prince?”

I glared at Harman.

Harman broke into a cold sweat.

He slumped down on the bench.

“…This is something even the nobles were talking about.”

Harmon pressed his temples,

then looked at me and said,

“I will tell you if it is an order, but please do not tell anyone else.”

“I have no one to talk to.”

Harmon sighed and opened his mouth.

Rose Darina.

It is said that she loved the crown prince, took him as his second wife, and gave birth to his child.

That child was the second prince. However, it is said that the child was stillborn before he could see the light of day, as the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck.

“what?”

“It was a terrible thing. “No matter how many priests were around, they couldn’t bring the already dead child back to life.”

Rose was shocked.

A name had even been decided for the child.

If it’s a man, it’s Rupel. If it’s a woman, it’s Lucy.

But the born child died.

Rose, in shock, cried as she held her dead child.

The crown prince, who felt sorry for this, gave the child the title of second prince and held a funeral.

Rose was saddened.

I spent every day in tears. The crown prince comforted her by her side, but there was no sign of her getting better.

The mental illness became worse day by day.

When he saw a young servant, he called him Rupel and played with a doll, calling him his child.

And at the end of each sentence, he even said morbidly, ‘You are the child who will please the Crown Prince.’

“…Is there no treatment?”

“If you are a priest, you can heal physical wounds and diseases. But it cannot cure mental illness.”

I spent a time close to despair. The crown prince had no choice but to have a second child for her happiness.

I thought that if I did that, I would forget my heartache and live a new life.

So, a problem arose when she became pregnant with the current 3rd prince, Rupel.

Harmon’s voice trembled as if he was in pain.

“At that time, Crown Princess Rose did something she should not have done.”

“What shouldn’t I do?”

Harmon broke into a cold sweat.

He stroked his hair and said after hesitation.

“He brought the second prince back to life.”

“…”

Those words gave me goosebumps.

[Resurrection] has never been successful in history.

No wizard, alchemist or priest has failed.

Not only were all saints and saints of the past unable to do it, but no one else was able to do it. Except for me, who has both necromantic and cleric powers.

Above all, if the dead were left unattended, no country could bring them back to life.

However, the term revived means…

“…turned into undead.”

“It was something that could not have happened in the royal family.”

“How? She’s a necromancer?”

“I don’t know the circumstances. Some even claimed that necromancers had bewitched her. At that time, there was a large-scale arrest and execution of necromancers.”

After that day, the Crown Prince was in despair and distanced himself from Rose.

He took care of the child with his own hands.

Rose acted as if she did not know what he had done.

At that time, the 3rd Prince was born to her, and Rose took the child for 2 years. He was considered a prince.

The 3rd prince was called the 2nd prince by Rose and inherited that name.

The reason he is still called that is probably because his mental illness has not been cured.

“It was a terrible thing.”

Was this the ‘confusion and chaos obsession’ that occurred when I looked into my mind’s eye?

I shook my head.

“It’s a shame.”

“It really is.”

Harmon sighed deeply as if he were exhausted as he spoke.

* *

Rose, who was in the carriage, covered her face with a fan.

She narrowed her eyes and said,

“Allen Allfaults. That kid looks healthy.”

Ruppel was startled by her words and looked at Rose.

“It would have been better if I had died with Yulicia.”

Ruppel trembled at the cold-blooded words,

“Mother, he is my younger brother. You should refrain from speaking…”

“The Black Church is also lax, as assassination in the place of exile also failed.”

Rupel took a breath.

Rose looked at Rupel with the eyes of a snake.

“You must never lose to that person. You must rise to the position of great emperor for the Crown Prince. Otherwise, I cannot be loved, right? Isn’t that so?” Rupel. My lovely second prince.”

Ruppel trembled.

She was broken. Even if she was broken by excessive love, she was too broken.

With a confused and chaotic obsessed mind, she was a monster who abandoned her humanity. She

gave birth to the second prince who could get the prince’s attention. That made her impatient.

He began to have a morbid mind, fearing that the crown prince’s attention would divert from him.

“Mom, stop talking about dad now…”

Ruppel’s gaze returned.

Then she saw the maid next to her.

She had black hair and black eyes and looked at Rupel with captivating eyes.

Then he raised his hand and gently stroked Rose’s shoulder.

Rupel stiffened in shock.

“What do you mean?”

Rupel shook his head at Rose’s words.

“…no. it’s nothing.”

“Now that I think about it, I heard that the ambassador is coming soon.”

“That’s right.”

Ruppel pulled his collar in frustration.

“Finish this job well. “It will be a golden opportunity to make it a success.”

“…I’ll keep that in mind.”

Rupel took a breath.

I absolutely had to make no mistakes in this matter.

It was something that he had to succeed for both himself and his mother.

Ruppel opened the partition in the coachman’s seat and spoke to the coachman.

“Going to Aslan’s border area. “I’m going to see the ambassador.”

* *

Aslan’s border area.

Aslan’s ambassador was invited through the gap in the gate where the heavenly army of the Holy Emperor was stationed.

He wore a red bandana that covered his face except for his eyes.

Necromancers to guard him followed, each holding a sword at their waist and a staff in their right hand.

As the ambassador entered the castle gate on horseback, he lowered his hood covering his chin.

“Is this the land of the gods?”

The ambassador’s eyes widened.

His eyes looked beyond the gate behind him.

A wasteland with dry land and sandstorms.

I looked inside the gate.

A blessed land with soft meadows and refreshing winds.

Even though I only crossed the gate, the difference was clear.

Indeed, if Aslan gains this land, it will be the same as gaining the world.

The ambassador, who was admiring the wide plains, turned his gaze to the side.

I saw paladins around the castle walls.

The Holy Knights, fully armed, stood tall like statues.

Heavenly army.

It was one of the five great powers of the Holy Emperor’s kingdom that absolutely obeyed the Emperor’s orders.

Although their skills are inferior to those of the other Crusades, if you consider their scale alone, they are beings with overwhelming power.

With just one word from the Holy Emperor, they will risk death and invade Aslan. Additionally, Aslan’s remaining wasteland will burn down in an instant.

“welcome.”

The ambassador looked away.

The 3rd Prince, Rupel Orfols, greeted them politely.

“Thank you for coming this far.”

Aslan’s ambassador smiled softly as he looked at Rupel. I bowed my head and said hello.

“My name is Haima, Aslan’s ambassador. “It is an honor to meet the 3rd prince.”

Haima looked at Third Prince Rupel.

“Welcome to the Holy Kingdom. It’s called Ruppel All Falls.”

When Ruppel held out his hand, Ambassador Haima held his hand and smiled deeply.

In this matter, there was no person more important than 3rd Prince Rupel Olfolse.

If he uses him, Aslan will be able to obtain this green land.

“Please take care of this matter, Prince Rupel.”

Haima smiled.
