Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 98
Episode 98 〈 3rd Prince’s Wish 〉
=================
“Aaaah! “I’d rather kill, kill, kill!”
It was an enclosed space.
A dungeon that even the Red Cross can only enter if they cover their eyes and ears.
There, 2nd Prince Rupel was being tortured.
A small body was placed on a torture rack.
A fountain of holy water burned his body, and his small body was immobilized on a silver stake.
“Can you give me a scalpel?”
“Let me pull it out with tongs.”
The Red Cross units were busy moving their hands. Every time that happened, the 2nd prince shouted.
“I told you! He said he told me everything he knew. “I really don’t know anything…!”
Even though Ruppel cried, the Red Cross ignored him.
On the contrary, the intensity was further increased.
A terrible sound rang out.
After the torture continued for a while, the Red Cross said:
“Now let’s rest.”
“Shall we eat something?”
They took off their bloody leather gloves and washed their hands thoroughly.
In the end, they chat and even take out their packed lunches to eat.
The second prince trembled at that sight.
Even to him, a vampire, the humans here were crazy.
Are you saying that food is passed on at the scene of torturing a vampire?
He gritted his teeth and rolled his eyes.
Although the room was surrounded by stone walls, the screams of vampire lycans and others could be heard through the walls.
Besides himself, many people are being brought here and tortured.
‘This is hell!’
I could see why Count Timon was so afraid of the royal family.
These guys were truly a cult that enjoyed torturing crazy monsters.
If you were here, you would be in a situation where you could neither live nor die, whether you were a vampire or a lycan.
‘I have to run away!’
But by what means?
Second Prince Rupel, who was thinking deeply, glanced at the two Red Cross soldiers.
“Hey!”
The Red Cross looked at Ruppel.
“Don’t you want immortality?”
The eyes of the masked Red Cross soldier widened.
Rupel smiled at their reaction.
“If you want, I will give you immortality. Eternal life, a body that never ages! If you want to get it…”
The Red Cross scratched their heads. They stood up from their seats. They
lightly organized their lunch boxes and put on gloves.
“Huh?”
They approached with their eyes flashing.
Rupel was a little scared at the sight.
“Now wait a minute.”
“I guess I’ll have to eat later.”
“Where should I start?”
“First, start with your head and slowly move down.”
They reached for the torture device.
Seeing that, 2nd Prince Rupel turned pale and shouted. He had
offended them for no reason.
The torture started again and Rupel declared surrender.
“Okay! I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you. Stop.” !”
The Red Cross looked down at Rupel.
With tears in his eyes, Rupel opened his mouth.
“Among the vampires, there is a man named Count Timon.”
“and?”
Rupel swallowed dry saliva and said,
“And? And?”
“Cut it out.”
Blood splattered.
Rupel shouted,
“Okay, I’ll tell you more! I don’t know the details, but…”
The Red Cross members narrowed their eyes.
“Count Timon. That idiot is researching the warp!”
“Warp?”
The Red Cross tilted its head.
“Why?”
“I don’t know.”
The instruments of torture stabbed Rupel violently.
Vomiting out blood, Rupel shouted,
“They said they were going to warp the Seonghwangga!”
The Red Cross members frowned beneath their masks.
“What do you mean?”
“They said they were going to warp the Seonghwang family along with the Seonghwang Celt monster. They were going to transport them to another dimension and another world!”
The Red Cross’s eyes widened.
They glared at Ruppel and said,
“More details.”
Rupel barely managed to get his voice out as he was crying.
“The Spirit World, which is called the world of fantasy. The Giant World, where the gods are afraid and imprisoned giants. Purgatory, where the dead go, and many other dimensions!”
Rupel shouted,
“I said I would imprison the Seonghwang family there!”
The Red Cross recorded Rupel’s words in a document.
Once Rupel began to open his mouth, he continued talking.
“They said they would warp the Holy Family to another dimension and seal it. The Count said that then there would be nothing to be afraid of anymore. The Vampire King dismissed it as nonsense, but Count Timon said it would be completed soon…!”
“Warp another world.”
The Red Cross also knows the principles of warp.
Therefore, they know that what Rupel says is absolutely impossible.
However, there are people who claim that it is possible.
“What should I do? Is it possible that it is false information?”
One of the Red Cross members checked Ruppel’s pulse:
“It’s weak. There’s no time to manipulate the body, so the pulse is not false.”
“Is this the truth?”
“I’m not sure. Still, I have to report it.”
The Red Cross nodded and briefly stopped pouring holy water at Rupel’s torture rack. When
the fountain spouting holy water stopped, Rupel gasped. Relieved
that the pain had eased for a moment, he let out a strange cry.
“It’s in return for the interrogation.” “I will allow you to rest for just a moment.”
The Red Cross members said so and moved to their seats.
Now they had to report to the Holy Emperor.
About the warp that Rupel had mentioned.
* *
Harman took a step forward.
A month has passed since the interior of the Imperial Palace was in turmoil.
Repairs to some of the collapsed Imperial Palace. Construction was completed. The structure of the secret passage used by the Golden Cross was also reorganized.
Archbishop Raphael was safely rescued and promoted to cardinal, and the leaders of the Chaolium Order were hanged. The
remaining believers spent three years in Lonia in the north. He was ordered to serve his sentence.
Everything was going back to normal.
‘Except for the vampire invasion and the Second Crown Princess incident.’
Harman sighed.
Those two incidents were a problem, but the death sentence for the traitor, 3rd Prince Rupel, was also handed down. It
was hard to figure out how to convey that fact to the 7th Prince.
Harman stood in front of the door.
Charlotte standing guard. He greeted lightly.
When he was about to knock, he could smell burning skin. When
Harman tilted his head, Charlotte said with an awkward smile,
“The prince and Hans are together. They have been doing research on a problem called Aztalun. “I said.”
At those words, Harmon knocked and opened the door with mixed feelings.
“Prince.”
Through the open door, I saw a boy with his shirt off and a man carving tattoos on the boy’s back and arms.
Documents with all kinds of runes engraved on them were scattered everywhere, and Elterra metal, called spirit metal, and magic stones were rolling around. The
7th Prince was tingling. Street frowned in pain, but when he saw Harmon, he raised his hand and said,
“Oh! Harmon, come on in.”
Harman smiled bitterly at the energetic appearance of the 7th prince.
The 7th prince was so full of energy that his own worries were meaningless.
* *
I looked at Harman and greeted him brightly.
Harman asked with a puzzled expression.
“What are you doing? ?”
“He has Aztalun or something engraved on his body.”
Of course, that’s only part of it. I
collected Michael’s fragmented body, wrote down the runes, showed it to Hans, and had him study it. After
a month of research, Hans found out only a small part of it.
I asked Hans,
“How can I interpret the remaining part?” “How long do you think it will take?”
Hans lifted his goggles.
He placed the tweezers in his hand into a bowl filled with holy water and looked at the document.
“Even if it is an imitation, it has a fairly complex structure.”
Hans said in an excited voice.
Since it was a divine text, it was quite interesting to the alchemist.
“I think it will take about three months at the latest with the alchemist priests of the Chaolium Church and the high-ranking priests of the Holy Family who studied this. The Chaolium Church. “There are materials that have been searched, so that’s exactly what I expect.”
Hans looked at the document while saying that,
“But even if you make a counterfeit, it will be difficult to find a user. Unless you are at the level of an archbishop, you will explode from not being able to handle it.”
“That’s okay. I can control it.”
Hans nodded at what I said.
‘Well, if you’re a prince who hunts dragons.’ Hans muttered that.
I asked Hans,
“Then what about the vampires’ warp? Does it overlap with the study of runes?”
“It will be okay. There is progress. You will see in a little while.”
Harman, who had been listening to the conversation between me and Hans, headed to the window.
He looked at me and said,
“Did you hear the story about the prince?”
I looked at Harmon,
“What are you talking about?”
“The second crown princess.”
I stood up from my seat and headed to the window where Harman was looking.
1st Prince Luan and Crown Prince White, who had been released from prison, accompanied me.
They were leading the ‘Heavenly Army’, the five greatest forces, and were marching out of the imperial palace.
“I’m going to the Kingdom of Rom .” “You did it, right?”
Harmon nodded.
“Is there a civil war going on there? Is it okay for other countries to intervene without permission?”
“There are reports that the rebels are protecting the second crown princess. It would not be good for the Kingdom of Rom to hide her as a traitor. Also, the royal family of the Kingdom of Rom has directly requested support.”
Hearing those words, I muttered to myself,
“I guess the Kingdom of Rom is good. The royal family supports it.”
“We will also have to pay the corresponding price.”
I nodded at those words.
Harmon glanced at me and asked,
“Are you okay?”
I was able to guess why Harmon asked this question.
It must have been revenge on this body’s mother, Ulyssia.
“Well.”
I answered vaguely on purpose.
It’s a pity for Yulicia, but it’s not my place to interfere, and her revenge was the responsibility of the parties involved. In
any case, the two people who harbored hatred for the Second Crown Princess stepped forward in person.
White may hesitate, but Lu agrees. An will mercilessly kill the Second Crown Princess.
He looked at me for a while and then opened his mouth.
“Actually, I came to talk to you about it.”
I looked at Harman.
“Third Prince Rupel said he wanted to meet you face to face.”
“Brother? Why?”
Actually, I know.
There was only one reason why Rupel was looking for me.
Obviously,
“It’s about the second crown princess.”
It must be because of Rose.
I have lost my appetite.
It would be a good time to visit.
The Third Prince’s life is not long left.
* *
It is a damp and musty prison.
The prisoners are locked in and groaning. A shirtless, masked torturer walked down the aisle holding a lantern.
Charlotte and I followed the torturer and looked around.
The felons are glaring with burning eyes.
They are all sentenced to death.
Some people cried out that it was unfair, while others begged for their lives.
Some people openly cursed or burst into laughter.
It’s bloody! Is the 3rd Prince Rupel in a place like this?
Then we arrived at our destination.
The torturer raised the lantern and spoke to the prisoner.
“It’s a meeting. Traitor Rupel. “The prince is here, so be polite.”
The torturer said so and handed me the prison key.
“Then, prince, if anything happens, please call me.”
“Oh, thank you.”
The torturer bowed his head slightly and walked away.
I looked forward and lifted the lantern.
I could see 3rd Prince Rupel in the darkness.
When I first met him, he had a handsome and hateful face.
It is now a ruined person.
His beard is bulging and his skin and lips are dry.
His emaciated body was shackled and he was deprived of his freedom even in prison.
It is difficult to regard him as someone who was once called a prince.
I smiled bitterly while looking at Rupel like that.
It wasn’t a good relationship, but I still have complicated feelings because the brother I talked to is locked up.
I gathered my emotions and smiled brightly.
He said, lifting the fruit basket in his hand.
“I’m here to visit my brother!”
I opened the door with the key I received from the torturer and went in.
Rupel has a blank expression.
“older brother?”
I waved my hand in front of Rupel.
However, he just stayed still and took no action.
You’re out of your mind.
In the end, he placed his hand on the top of Rupel’s head and injected holy power into it.
After a while, Rupel looked at me in surprise.
“Brother, what are you doing to me…”
“Allen!”
Rupel grabbed my shoulder.
At the same time, Charlotte’s eyes flashed.
She took out her sword and pointed it at Rupel’s neck.
“Please take off your dirty hands.”
Rupel was frightened by her fierce eyes and withdrew his hand.
“I’m fine.”
Charlotte lifted her sword.
She had a bad feeling towards the 3rd prince, Rupel.
Because I think he was one of the main culprits in sending me to Aslan.
Perhaps that’s why they reacted sensitively when they sensed even the slightest danger.
I adjusted my collar and looked at Rupel.
He sits on the floor in despair.
It was natural.
He received a ‘death sentence’. There is no more hope.
I smiled and spoke softly to change the mood.
“So what did you call me for?”
“Allen Allen!”
Rupel covered his head. He shouted my name repeatedly.
I pushed Charlotte back and sat down on the prison floor.
“Yes, I am here. older brother.”
Rupel’s pupils shook.
he told me
“I have some request. “I, my mother, Rose Darina…”
“I refuse. “I can’t help you.”
I immediately refused before Ruppel could say anything.
I’m sure he’s asking you to save Rose.
This is a request I cannot grant.
This is because there is no reason to spare Rose, who is a traitor and no one else.
He is Aslan’s culprit and the mastermind who brought vampires into the imperial palace. He was also the one who tried to assassinate me.
Not only do I have no intention of saving her, but if I make a mistake, I too will be accused of being an accomplice.
There is no need to take that risk.
Rupel’s expression fell at my words.
He reached out and grabbed my collar.
Rupel sobbed and lowered his head.
“I know, Allen. My mother can’t live any longer. Seonghwang has no intention of saving his mother. I know that no matter how much you help me, it will be difficult. but…!”
Rupel’s hand that was holding me gained strength.
“First Prince Luan and my father would definitely kill my mother as soon as they saw him.”
Rupel gritted his teeth.
“I’m asking you as a brother, no, as a child of one mother.”
He raised his head.
Tears flowed down my cheeks. He pleaded with his distorted face.
“One minute or even a few seconds is fine. “I want to meet my mother before I die.”
“I won’t ask you to save me or save me. This is my and my mother’s fault. I know it’s shameless. But I really want to see my mother’s face one last time.”
Rupel lowered his head and buried his face in my chest.
“This is my first and last wish. Allen said, trembling.
“Let me…meet my mother.”
