Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 60
Episode 60 〈The prince looked at him. 〉
======================
Humite Academy’s office.
Oscar Baldr, vice-captain of the Golden Cross, was invited.
Oscar sat on the sofa and looked at the 7th Prince sitting across from him in surprise.
He is small in stature. Even though he was growing up, he seemed smaller than other peers, perhaps because he had only seen people practicing swordsmanship.
However, the atmosphere and look in his eyes were completely different from the crazy temperament that I had only heard about through rumors.
‘Rather than being a fool…’
I felt the majesty of an emperor.
Above all, those murderous eyes.
It’s like watching the ancient, prosperous Celts.
‘Is this the person Charlotte said she would serve?’
Oscar looked away.
Charlotte Herize stands next to the 7th Prince, who is sitting on the sofa, and bows her head with her hands folded slightly.
Anyone who saw her would see her as an ordinary maid or maid, but her status was now that of a noble nobleman, and her skills meant she would become the best swordsman in the royal family.
“Thank you, Oscar Baldr, for helping me with this matter.”
Oscar smiled softly as he watched the 7th Prince talking while drinking tea.
At the same time, he observed the 7th Prince.
Celt is for the next generation of prosperous people and for the existence that the Golden Cross will serve. He always sent me stories about his grandchildren through letters.
Recently, the most interesting one was the story of the 7th Prince. He
tracked down and slaughtered the vampires of the Holy Imperial Family. He healed Ruan, who even Archbishop Raphael could not cure, and the progenitor who was a scourge in the northwest. Even the lycans were eliminated.
The necromancers dispatched by Humite as heresy inquisitors are called ‘angels’, and they are kidnapped and imprisoned. It is said that they are still doing something while hiding them. He has
terrible and cruel tendencies.
But he is upright and follows Charlotte.
Isn’t he a person with a truly interesting personality?
‘…Luan and Hilda are both interesting people, but this one is also really interesting.’
What would happen the moment the boy in front of him became a man?
It was truly fascinating to imagine.
The crazy things they did were truly fun for Oscar.
The heads of the empire hunting monsters.
The blood festival they held.
I couldn’t help but be excited about what crazy things would await.
He managed his expression and smiled softly.
“I am truly grateful, Prince. I am being treated to such a precious tea.”
Oscar took a sip of tea and looked at the 7th Prince.
“By the way, what did the 7th Prince call you for? Is there another mission?”
Surely you don’t mean to kill the ambassador and hang his head on Aslan’s border?
“Can you deal with the undead lich?”
In response to the 7th Prince’s sudden question, Oscar tilted his head.
“It doesn’t matter if there are one or two. During the time of Amon, the Demon King, there were 15 undead lichs. They broke through the hordes of monsters they had summoned and took His Majesty and Archbishop Raphael to Amon’s place. “I took you there.”
The 7th prince’s eyes widened as if in surprise.
This is something that the children of the Holy Emperor family would know, but seeing as they don’t know it, it looks like he has lost his memory as he heard.
“Is that something a human can do?”
“Because our Seonghwang family is so strong.”
“There is no such thing as a monster.”
The 7th Prince clicked his tongue.
Haha! Who on earth is calling someone a monster?
Of course, the current Celt is so powerful that it can be said to be ignorant compared to previous Celts.
But even if he is a Celt, the boy and girl in front of him are Compared to when he was his age…
The corners of Oscar’s mouth rose.
“Why are you suddenly asking about Richie?”
“The reason I called you here is because I want to ask you a favor.”
“Please tell me.”
“Please take care of my brother.”
Oscar’s eyes narrowed.
The Holy Celt is coming here directly to Humite.
The reason is said to be to punish the ‘traitor’.
Also, the traitor’s name is ‘Rose Darina’ and all of her family.
They are Aslan and I don’t know if it’s related, but the prosperous Celt must be silently watching this situation to find out.
But the 7th prince is asking for the 3rd prince Rupel?
Did he even notice?
“I can deal with an undead lich too.”
“Ohh!”
Oscar let out a heartfelt exclamation.
I heard it in reports, but what a monster it is!
A 16-year-old boy can fight an undead lich!
“But I don’t have the confidence to protect my brother and fight him. Above all, I’m not good at protecting someone. .”
Oscar smiled bitterly.
Now I understand the 7th Prince’s intentions.
So, are you telling me to protect a traitor?
“The moment the Golden Cross was positioned at your mansion, the banquet hall changed from the Academy to your mansion. Even though the Golden Cross was there, “What you mean is…”
“…There are troops moving with the ambassador around the mansion.”
“Or the Ambassador may be hiding an undead lich. So…”
The 7th Prince looked at Oscar and said,
“I want you to protect my brother.”
Did you order them to surround Rupel’s mansion for that purpose? Not simply to put pressure on the ambassador?
“I understand. If it is the prince’s order.”
“thank you.”
The 7th Prince grinned.
After a short conversation, Oscar stood up and glanced at Charlotte.
“Can you tell me where Charlotte is stationed?”
The 7th Prince looked surprised at Oscar’s words.
Oh, I see. Does this person not know?
Oscar smiled and said,
“I am the one teaching Charlotte. She stays at my house.”
“…Are you the one who hurt her?”
“I had no intention of hurting your squire. Please understand.”
The 7th Prince gave a displeased look and glanced at Charlotte.
Charlotte lowered her head as if she knew the Prince’s intentions just from the look in her eyes and said,
“I’m fine. Rather, I am indebted to Oscar.”
“If you say so, then it’s okay. Charlotte is going to be the guardian of Humite along with Harman of the Holy Cross. Of course, she will attend the banquet with me on the last day.”
“okay.”
“Then… please take care of my brother, Oscar. No matter what happens, you will be my top priority.”
Oscar nodded slightly.
It was obvious.
Rupel must be kept alive until Celt comes
so that the Holy Emperor can personally punish him.
Oscar got up from his seat. He bowed his head to the 7th Prince and said,
“Of course . “That is what the Seonghwang family says, so I will do so.”
Oscar glanced at Charlotte,
“And Charlotte I’ll give you a gift later.”
At those words, Charlotte bowed her head slightly.
Oscar came out of the office with a happy smile.
In front of the door, Harmon nervously bowed his head and greeted him.
“I heard that you were in charge of protecting Humite together with Charlotte.”
“Yes, it is.”
Oscar nodded and patted his shoulder,
“Then follow her orders.”
“I understand…”
Harmon looked at Oscar in surprise.
“Why is that?”
“That… Charlotte’s order. What is that…”
“Oh, that’s right. Don’t you and the prince know this? Do you know that she is of Heraiz status?”
At those words, Harman broke into a cold sweat.
“Ah, that’s… actually…”
“She was given the title of marquis. And also…”
Oscar whispered in Harman’s ear.
“Heraiz . He became the current head of the Hundred Cross.”
“…!”
“It’s an order from His Majesty the Holy Emperor. Do you know what that means?”
“…”
“It’s your business.”
Golden Cross, White Cross, Red Cross, Green Cross, Holy Cross, Heavenly Force.
The ranks are divided in this order.
In that way, Charlotte Herrise is of a much higher rank than Harmon Diane.
“Please take care of me. Oh, she kept it a secret.” “It looks like she’s doing it, so don’t tell the prince. In fact, it wouldn’t be good for other nobles to know about it. She probably doesn’t have the power to stop them yet.”
“…All right.”
Harmon muttered to himself with a blank expression.
Oscar smiled in satisfaction at his expression.
“Take care of Charlotte.”
Oscar burst out laughing and walked down the hallway.
Now he too had a job to do:
camp out at Rupel’s mansion and prevent anyone from leaving.
**
As time passed, a festival and banquet was held for Ambassador Haima . A simple military parade was held
, and the Holy Cross, which protects Humite, marched.
People cheered as knights in armor passed by.
A variety of sports were held and played to spice up the banquet.
Charlotte and Hais also participated in the game.
He was there for the safety of the nobles participating in the game as a group.
Me, Rupel, and Ambassador Haima were watching the Humite festival in the front yard of Rupel’s mansion.
“You can do something like that with magic . “It’s possible.”
I looked at the center of the banquet hall, where music was flowing and various rare foods were placed.
In the fountain where the palace wizards and alchemists were, a scene was being shown in real time like a hologram reflected in a humite
. It is an object called a video crystal ball.
It stores and transmits video. If there is a certain distance away, it is delivered at intervals around the area.
Perhaps because it was the first item presented this time, those who visited the banquet hall also exclaimed in exclamation.
Ambassador Haima was surprised at the sight and exclaimed.
“Oh! That’s amazing. . I never thought the magic technology of the Holy Kingdom would be this good! If you don’t mind, could we also know about this magic?”
Ruppel, who was holding a wine glass while facing that question, smiled and said,
“Of course. If it is for the sake of friendly relations with Aslan, we can provide that much. However, since the research costs are also high on our side…”
“ In that case, we will provide support. If we are to achieve reconciliation with the prosperous kingdom of Buddhism, we must help each other. Haha!”
“Thank you. But…”
Rupel looked back.
Oscar was right next to him.
“Would you mind leaving Oscar?”
“I’m sorry, Prince. When it comes to escorting, it’s my top priority.”
Rupel groaned at Oscar’s words.
Ambassador Haima also broke into a cold sweat and wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, as if Oscar was a burden.
I watched Rupel and Ambassador Haima from the balcony on the second floor.
Rupel had a very positive relationship with Ambassador Haima. We were having a real conversation.
Looking at this now, it doesn’t seem like it’s going to be a problem.
“…It smells bad.”
An unidentifiable odor wafted from around the mansion.
It’s awful, as if it’s a mansion that has been inhabited by the undead for a long time.
Does Rupel know about this?
How on earth can one have this much magical power? Or no way….
After talking briefly with Ambassador Haima, Rupel glanced at me and approached me.
“How about a banquet?”
“It’s fun.”
It’s actually boring.
I don’t know anyone and I don’t have anyone to talk to.
Above all, it is not a situation where you can enjoy a banquet.
I checked each noble who entered the banquet hall just in case.
Additionally, members of the Golden Cross were used to search the area around the mansion.
With a stench this bad, I couldn’t help but think that a necromancer with undead had infiltrated the place.
“Ambassador Haima said he wanted to talk.”
“I don’t like it.”
I waved my hand.
He made a gesture as if to shoo away bugs.
Ruppel spoke again to persuade me.
“It’s for the country.”
“Tell them to be satisfied with just attending the banquet.”
Rupel looked at me dissatisfied. Then, after a brief pause, he opened his mouth.
“It’s the method you mentioned before about how to identify vampires.”
“…?”
“No matter what I tried, it didn’t work. “Is this actually the way to go?”
I stuck my tongue out at those words.
Have you really been doing that until now?
By the way, there is no sign from Rupel. After all, blasphemy seems to be just an appearance.
“Did you do it right?”
“Of course. But… no matter how much I tried, I couldn’t figure it out. “Is there really another way?”
Although it was half a joke. Rupel’s expression was quite serious.
When I wanted to ask about it, Ruppel asked me:
“Perhaps.”
Rupel pointed to the corner of the banquet hall with his finger.
Rupel’s mother, Rose, is sitting there. Next to him, a woman with black hair and dark eyes who appeared to be a maid was standing and serving.
“What do you think about that woman?”
“yes?”
“Literally.”
Rupel asked me a question with a serious face.
He looked quite impatient, with cold sweat forming on his forehead.
I turned to look at the maid next to Rose.
[Name: Sharin.
Age: 25
Characteristics: Beauty, charm, mean temperament, treachery, intimidation, drug addiction.
+ She will definitely give birth to the prince’s child. I will become a member of the royal family!]
“…Is that a maid?”
It’s quite unique for a maid’s characteristics.
If she were a noble woman, this would be a trait that would make her sell out her country and use men to elevate her social status.
Rupel’s face hardened. He said, grabbing my shoulder.
“Are you a vampire?”
“no. “I am human.”
“So, a necromancer?”
Why are you doing that?
I shook my head.
“I’m just a maid. “It just doesn’t seem like he’s a good person.”
“Not a good person?”
“Yes, it’s hard to say.”
I said, shaking my head.
“This is a reward that will sell the country.”
Rupel was shocked and closed his mouth.
“She also seems like a woman who wants to gain something through blackmail.”
Rupel’s shoulders twitched.
“Is it okay to have a woman like that next to my mother?”
“…Of course. Someday I will repay my debt.”
Rupel’s words were quite strange.
Could it be that this woman has already discovered a weakness?
But even so, there was no way a person like a prince would be embarrassed by a maid.
Is there some other reason?
At that time, Ambassador Haima approached.
He whispered to Rupel.
“I think it’s time.”
At the same time, the voice of ‘that being’ was heard.
-Welcome to the banquet hall, humans.
The voice of the undead lich Nasus echoed throughout the banquet hall.
