Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 92
Episode 92. 〈 Kasim Derian 〉
=================
The prosperous Celt was among the nobles, dressed in makeup.
He was overcome with emotion as he saw his seventh grandson sitting on the throne.
How long has it been since you experienced such an exciting moment?
The 7th grandson, the bastard Allen Allfols, who tried to rape the maid and insulted Gaia.
That existence has already disappeared.
No, rather, that appearance was probably a lie.
Without that, I couldn’t explain what was happening.
It wasn’t true that he just lost his memory. As expected, the true nature was hidden.
That’s because the 7th prince in front of him was more worthy of being king than anyone else.
He had been hiding his fangs and only now showed them.
Celt monitored the mood among the nobility.
All the nobles are mesmerized. Still, he showed confident eyes.
They know it too.
That the boy in front of me is the one who will take on the role of the next great emperor.
I was fascinated by the overwhelming charisma that unfolded before my eyes and could no longer deny him.
‘The decision has been made.’
Successor of Seonghwang.
White is not allowed. He is so indecisive.
Luan? Hilda? They certainly had outstanding qualities
, but they had never shown such attractive charisma or proven to be more powerful than anyone else.
A person who has the power to drive out vampires, maintain the absolute royal authority of the Holy Family, and further protect the people.
A being with the status of a saint and loved by Gaia.
“Allen Allfalls.”
If he were the 7th grandson, there would be no need for him to pass on the position of King Seonghwang even now.
Kelt smiled and clenched his fists.
“Which of these two do you think is truly corrupt?”
The 7th prince asked.
The intimidated nobles and clergy listened to his words with faith.
He also started answering questions.
“surely.”
All eyes focused on the nobleman who opened his mouth.
He is a loyal subject who has served the Seonghwang family for a long time.
A nobleman bowed his head and said.
“They committed the sin of corruption. They violated Gaia’s will and committed promiscuity.”
As soon as one person spoke, others began to speak out as well:
“Although the connection with the 3rd Prince is unclear, we opposed Archbishop Raphael, the envoy of His Majesty the Holy Emperor, and his soldiers. That crime is tantamount to treason.”
The divided nobles are coming together one by one.
The same goes for the priests.
There are certainly priests of the Chaolium Church among them.
Nevertheless, they are fascinated
by the miracle before their eyes and by the majesty of the Holy King.
According to the words of the subjects, 7 The prince changed his posture.
He looked at the nobles and opened his mouth.
“Then what do you mean?”
The subjects said in unison,
“The Chaolium Church will be punished.”
The 7th Prince smiled. He stretched out his hand and said,
“Send a letter to the Chaolium Church. I will give them a grace period of 10 days.”
A voice echoed through the throne room:
“Ask them to surrender.”
The nobles raised their heads and looked at the 7th prince.
He tightened his neck and said,
“I dared to frame the grandson of the Holy Emperor and have him confirmed as a heretic. That crime cannot be paid for even by death.”
He looked at each nobleman one by one.
I made eye contact with them and continued talking.
“But whoever shows mercy and surrenders, his sin will be lightened.”
He was decisive.
Those who surrender will be punished, but their crime will be light.
However, if the Chaolium Church does not declare surrender.
“Anyone who resists will die at the hands of the Holy Legion they fear.”
Holy King Allen Olfolth, the commander of the Holy Legion in front of us, will personally step forward and subdue them.
The nobles thought so.
“Also, the three cardinals of the Chaolium Order who committed this incident will be held fully accountable. “Do you have any objection to this?”
As Allen’s voice rang out, the nobles and clergy all bowed their heads and said,
“There is none.”
“Good. Then, this concludes this hearing.”
Shocked!
The nobles and priests bowed and stiffened.
The 7th Prince stood up.
He stepped on the red carpet and passed by.
The Holy Knights scattered light and disappeared.
Harmon escaped from among the nobles and followed behind the 7th Prince. They followed.
They left the Emperor’s throne room.
Only then did the nobles and clergy realize.
This was a hearing… They
had forgotten.
They could only stare blankly at the door through which the 7th Prince belatedly left.
* *
I looked at the closed throne room door. I sighed in relief.
At the same time, I stuck my tongue out at the throbbing muscle pain I felt throughout my body.
“As expected, the power of a tree branch that is not a world tree is minimal.”
I had gotten used to Amon’s skull to some extent, but even with the help of the branches of the World Tree, I was barely able to withstand it.
Well, it’s perfect for short-term use.
I walked down the hallway feeling disappointed, and Harman followed.
“You’re amazing.”
“what?”
I glanced at Harman.
He smiled and said,
“Didn’t you capture the rebellious nobles and clergy? Besides.”
Harman turned his gaze to the window of the imperial palace.
The sacred undead army stationed in the square disappeared in a flash of light.
Beyond the castle gates and walls, people were gathered even though it was late at night.
They were kneeling and putting their hands together and praying.
“ “He even captured the people.”
“I just remembered the time of Aslan.”
The former head of the Black Church, Lich Nasus.
I just remembered the time I had dealt with him.
What he said then. He
said that even his faith was shaken.
Also, after defeating him who had become a grim reaper, the former slaves called me an ‘angel’. “I worshiped them.
What I did was probably the correct answer.
Although the sacred undead were foreign to them, they had a mysterious and sacred aura. Since
such beings appeared as the guardians of the Holy Family that protected them, it was easy to mistake them for being a legion sent by God.
” “That too will disappear in a moment.”
“Just a little while?”
Harmon smiled awkwardly and said,
“Once a belief is deep, it is not easy to change.”
“What about faith? I am neither a god nor a saint.”
I ignored those words.
Now all that was left was to rest.
We finally arrived in front of the door. Charlotte, who had come first and was waiting, smiled softly and bowed her head.
“Thank you for your hard work, Prince.”
“Oh, thank you for helping me.”
I expressed my gratitude to Charlotte.
It was thanks to her that there was no conflict with the paladin who was checking.
Charlotte opened the door.
At that time, Harmon said,
“By the way, the prince must be busy now.”
“what?”
At those words, I turned around and looked at Harman.
Harman smiled bitterly and answered,
“The Chaolium Church. They will not surrender.”
“What does that have to do with me?”
The Holy Emperor will handle the Chaolium Church well.
The opposition from the people and the clergy has disappeared, so it won’t matter if they massacre it if they don’t surrender.
That’s what I thought.
Harman tilted his head.
“That’s right, the prince won’t say anything. “Did you go?”
“…”
I made a blank expression at Harman’s words. Suddenly, I remembered what he said in the throne room. The
Holy Legion will subdue the Chaolium Church.
Isn’t that true?
The Holy Emperor’s army is enough…
“Ah. ”
I made a ridiculous mistake.
that.
-Anyone who resists will die at the hands of the Holy Legion they fear.
Because it sounded as if I was going to subdue the Chaolium Church myself.
* *
Three days later, the Chaolium Church was informed of what had happened in the capital.
Those who reported the fact were none other than priests of the Chaolium Church.
Those are also the people that Cardinal Michael planted in the capital.
they.
“This is our fault!”
“You must repent right now!”
They were crazy.
The priests were smiling with their eyes wide open.
They spread out their hands and shouted at the Chaolium Church who were leading a promiscuous life.
“The 7th Prince, a saint and a holy king, has spoken.”
“Admit your sins and bow your head, and I will forgive your sins!”
“We must accept the will of Gaia and follow the words of Him who came down!”
“Well, it’s not too late. It’s not too late!”
The priests of Chaolium, who were holding a promiscuous banquet as usual, watched the people who had gone crazy and returned.
The priests who had been planted in the streets, slums, Seonghwang Street, and the Imperial Family were in turn giving speeches to the Chaolium Church.
The priests turned their gaze.
Golden robes. The cardinal, who was in charge of the ranch,
glared at Michael and said,
“Also, you have gone too far.”
“Cardinal Michael. It is not too late. Bow your head and plead with the prince.”
“Then you will be forgiven by death!”
At the sight of them, the priests who were drinking naked froze.
The madness of the priests was deeper than expected.
Cardinal Michael was rather embarrassed by the sight.
These people were his confidants and people whose faith was unwavering.
Such people were ‘degenerates’. ‘ came back,
“Repent!”
“You fallen one who violated Gaia’s will!”
Cardinal Michael’s eye muscles twitched.
He heard some very offensive words.
He could tolerate the other words and let them go. But the words about breaking Gaia’s will and being corrupted him deeply.
Michael stood up with an angry look on his face.
He aimed the ranch at the priests and emitted holy power.
The priests’ bodies exploded.
Blood and flesh splattered and the upper body disappeared. The lower body collapsed.
Other priests screamed.
Michael ignored those screams.
“Because what on earth happened in the capital?”
I looked down at the dead priests while drenched in cold sweat.
What did I witness? What did I witness that made me deteriorate like this?
I had seen it even before they came.
The priests and people who had stood up in the capital had become quiet.
Rather, they had seen the 7th prince. Cardinal Michael began to defend and demand punishment for the Chaolium Order.
It happened in just one night.
His connection with the clergy who had ties to the capital was cut off.
Cardinal Michael bit his nails and
trembled with nervousness.
And then a thought occurred to me:
“Is this brainwashing?”
At Michael’s words, the priests of the Chaolium Church approached him in shock.
“You mean brainwashing?”
“What do you mean?”
Michael glanced at the priests and said,
“The 7th Prince made a contract with the devil. That said, he is also skilled in necromancy. “I think they brainwashed people with black magic.”
“That can’t be possible!”
The faces of the priests turned pale.
This is just a guess.
In the first place, such brainwashing was impossible without destroying their minds, and it was theoretically impossible to brainwash not just one or two, but tens of thousands of people.
But it became clear that something was there.
If the atmosphere of rejecting the 7th Prince were reversed, the Chaolium Church would be punished as heretics.
I couldn’t let it go like this.
“Bring all reports related to the 7th Prince right now!”
Numerous documents were placed in front of Michael.
Michael looked through the documents carefully.
Finally, he narrowed his eyes.
“shovel?”
It is said that during his exile, he exterminated zombies with a shovel.
“Musket?”
It is also reported that they hunted vampires and lycans using muskets, which were merely decorations, freely.
etc.
“You lost to Princess Hilda in sparring?”
Are you saying you’re weak in close combat? No, Princess Hilda was exceptionally strong.
Because her hobby was hunting lycans.
I need to find out more.
I looked through the Humite incident.
“I summoned the blue devil.”
But what about his close combat?
There is no record.
Above all, whenever he fights, Harmon and Marquis Charlotte of the Holy Cross are always with him.
This is a method of summoning undead using necromancy and using them as shields to fight from the rear.
Michael smiled.
“Right.”
The opponent can only use necromancy.
Also a long-range musket.
The 7th Prince has excellent combat skills, but is weak in close combat.
I looked at the following report.
Stories of the next prosperous kingdom were spreading among the nobles.
“It’s not like there’s no way to stop it.”
He moved away.
The place he was heading to was the Chaolium Church’s dungeon.
Many prisoners are locked up there.
Cardinal Michael stopped and glanced to the side.
“Whoa… Whoo….”
There is an old priest bleeding all over his body.
The limbs are bound to Elterra metal, which is imbued with magic resistance.
The eyes and mouth were covered.
Archbishop Raphael.
This person was very useful. If he ascends to the position of Pope in the future, he will be able to use this man’s influence.
However, there was currently no value as a hostage.
‘The Emperor is someone who will leave his subjects and children alone.’
Instead, they will threaten you in return.
If you do not release them or cause even the slightest injury, I will annihilate you all.
‘but.’
Even such a successful person had a weakness.
that.
‘The person who will become the next successful person.’
7th Prince Allen Allpols.
If you take him hostage, the story will be different.
Not only is he a precious grandson, but he will be worth more than anything else if he becomes the next successful person.
Michael looked away and went deeper.
A prison located at the end of the basement.
A criminal who should have been executed a long time ago is tied up.
A middle-aged man in his 40s was visible through the iron bars.
A man with a wrinkled and scrawny beard but a sturdy physique.
A member of the Golden Cross and a being who almost became the successor to the next Sword King.
A criminal who disobeyed the Emperor’s orders and massacred 300 people believed to be vampires.
A person who hunted and killed a hundred vampires and cut down a thousand Aslan warriors.
“Kassim Derian.”
The man raised his head.
“I will give you freedom. I will also give you a chance to take revenge on the Seonghwang family.”
Michael said with a grin.
“I want you to capture the 7th prince.”
