The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 689
Chapter 689
“I’m telling you to stop craving children.”
“The reaction is so good that I can’t stop it, Your Majesty.”
Holding the glass of champagne brought by the lady-in-waiting, the emperor took a sip and let out a deep sigh.
The emperor laughed at the still frozen and trembling Kono Lint and his classmates around him.
“It’s nice to be petted, but I think the kid will start claiming that something is planted in his ear.”
“You put something in your ear… … ? what do you mean… … .”
“No, there is such a thing.”
The emperor sometimes says something only he knows, but no one understands what it is.
Rowen is the leader of the intelligence unit created after the war.
Rowen is the leader because there are more specialized people in the field than him. In the case of Sarkegar and Kono Lint, field work is more suitable.
That’s why they are assigned according to ability, not merit.
Sarkegar acted quite interested in Kono Lint.
It seems like he often does things that are nothing more than bullying from time to time, but it was clear that he cared a lot.
The emperor gazed at the banquet hall. Many people share many stories.
The Emperor looks down on the stories and gatherings without getting mixed up in them.
-You seem too young to enjoy drinking.
The Emperor watches the middle-aged gentleman approach the silver-haired girl.
A middle-aged gentleman tilts his head as he approaches the silver-haired girl wearing a fancy dress.
-Oh… … . What is that blood red wine? It’s the first bright color I’ve ever seen in my life.
-… … blood is right
-… … yes?
– It’s blood.
As the girl spins the wine glass lightly, the eerie red light on the glass proves the truth.
The girl, whose lips were lightly wet with that liquid, opened her blood-stained lips. A gruesome fang emerges.
-Heh heh… … !
– Is this your first time seeing a vampire?
-That could be… … Is this human blood… … ?
-Then isn’t it? Would you like a drink?
– Me at all! at all! it’s okay!
-okay? Would you like a drink then? Knock! yes! i can do it Will you feel good?
– Me at all! It’s fine at all! Excuse me… … !
The emperor smiled and watched as the middle-aged man widened his distance in shock at the sight of the girl with a seductive smile.
Watching the man run away in fright, a woman with dark red hair approaches the girl.
-Lucinil! I always tell you not to scare people!
-No, you asked me first, so I answered you.
The emperor watched Elerys and Lucinil scuffle.
Many demons joined the empire, but most of the vampires who had been with Edina left the empire.
Galarche and Lruen left the Empire with their clans.
He said he was tired of the hustle and bustle, and led his clan back to their own quiet.
What remains is Lucinil, the head of Elleris, the head of Hwayo, and the head of Demand.
And only the clan of Toyo left behind due to the disappearance of the head of the household, Antirianus.
Elerith took care of them and was in charge of the temporary household.
So Elleris was the head of Hwayo, and at the same time, she was also taking on the role of the head of Toyo, taking care of the family of Toyo.
Originally, the Lord Vampire clan did not want to expand its members, so there were very few vampires.
However, they all played a significant role in the early empire.
For the legitimate survival of vampires, he even created a blood-purchase institution.
However, what is absurd is that among humans who learned about the existence of Lord Vampires, there were cases where they were tempted by the word that they were vampires that could withstand the sun.
There were often troublesome things caused by people who asked me if I wanted to become a vampire.
So, not for humans, but for vampires, they made a territory where they could live quietly and strictly prohibited outsiders from entering.
There were even those who knocked on the door saying that they wanted immortality and eternity.
Because it’s always a sweet word.
In the middle of such a noisy banquet.
The emperor saw Empress Louise approaching.
“your majesty.”
“ah… … . yes.”
“I have something to tell you.”
“four?”
Without asking the emperor’s opinion, Empress Louise grabs the emperor’s arm with a serious expression and starts dragging him somewhere.
And Heinrich von Schwarz, who saw it, was watching the scene blankly with his mouth wide open.
* * *
The place where the emperor was taken to Empress Louise was one of the empty rooms somewhere in the Spring Palace.
The emperor’s heart was beating like crazy.
Is it time?
does this happen in the end?
But what about today?
There are other days too, today?
Why?
The emperor was afraid of many things, but now the world fears Louise.
Fear mixed with guilt.
That’s why he freezes whenever he sees her.
“I am determined. Teacher, wait a minute… … . 5 minutes only… … . 5 minutes… … .”
“… … .”
“I hate that! Absolutely no dislike! that’s fine! great! good! But wait a minute… … .”
“… … really!”
-Fuck!
“Ah… … !”
In the end, Louise, who couldn’t hear the nonsense, did an ignorant thing by putting honey chestnuts on the emperor’s head.
Louise looked down at the emperor whose eyes were spinning tight with cold eyes.
“sit down please.”
“yes.”
At Louise’s plain command, the emperor immediately sat down on the bed.
Seeing this, Louise’s eyes grew colder.
“Not there, but here.”
Louise was referring to a chair, not a bed.
Only then did the emperor realize that he was not in the situation he was prepared for, and hesitantly stood up and sat down in a chair.
It was only natural that such an emperor’s face turned red.
Only then did the emperor, who came to his senses, see that the empress was holding something instead of empty hands.
-With a click,
Empress Louise took out the items in it one by one and put them down.
“this… … . What is it? book?”
What was in the case was a book.
No, it’s more like a notebook than a book.
A tattered and dirty notebook.
It was placed before the Emperor.
“I think you should see it.”
The emperor was puzzled, but at the empress’s words, he cautiously opened the notebook.
* * *
The soiled notebooks had frayed edges, and many were even torn.
It was not intentionally torn, but it was evident that it had been torn somehow.
“This is a data uploaded from the Adventurer’s Guild Headquarters in Kernstadt.”
“… … Is that so.”
At first, the emperor was puzzled when he opened the notebook and wondered.
Most of them were painted.
“… … Is it a picture of a monster?”
“Yes, it seems.”
“… … Why do you draw pictures of monsters?”
Since monsters have a morphological beauty, is there anyone who wants to record it?
There are many different types of people in the world, so there is no law that there are no such people.
Louise didn’t answer. It seems like you want to see it.
The painting cannot be said to be very delicate, but the characteristic parts are drawn in detail.
It’s not a very well-drawn picture, but it’s not an overly crude picture either.
It is a picture drawn quickly and accurately, as if it were done with a single stroke.
It wasn’t just a picture of a monster on each page.
And at the bottom of the picture is written in low letters.
[A hilly area near the border of Ireden, northeast of Kernstadt]
The emperor tilted his head at the memo.
“Find place… … . Is it the same thing?”
facts that can be known from it.
I didn’t imagine or something else, I saw and drew these monsters.
This is the era when the adventurer’s guild gives you money if you kill a monster.
“Isn’t there a policy of giving money for paintings rather than monster corpses?”
“It’s not uncommon, but it usually is.”
Although there are exceptions, they do not pay for their paintings. So, it must not have been a drawing for evidence drawn to receive compensation.
And above all, there are too many.
Rather than expressing his doubts, the emperor decided to take a closer look at the notebook.
I don’t know whose it belongs to, but I’m careful not to damage the worn-out and dirty notebook.
I am sure that these notebooks are very valuable items regardless of their status.
As he turns the pages and checks other notebooks, the emperor’s expression becomes increasingly serious.
Louise quietly watches the Emperor like that, even opening the notebook she has already seen.
“… … what.”
Since it is a painting, the monster drawn is not exactly the same.
However, monsters that look very similar are found a few times in the notebooks.
Each location is different.
And they can be found thousands of kilometers away.
The more you look at why the person who originally had the notebook drew the picture of the monster, the more you understand.
As the notebook neared its final volume, the emperor’s expression hardened to the point of fright.
Monsters in a form that can only be called exactly the same later are drawn in succession.
The location of discovery is similar.
And the emperor, who saw the last page of the notebooks, was wide-eyed.
Little monsters are drawn.
And a short note was written.
And, as before, the neat handwriting was quite disorganized.
As if to represent the wavering mind of the author of this notebook.
[A certain immature individual.]
[It was under the protection of its mother.]
[Monsters are breeding.]
[Through this case, the subspecies of monsters that have been discovered so far are also not similar-looking individuals, but may actually be the same species. The possibility has increased.]
[There is a high possibility that a significant number of monsters have already had the ability to reproduce.] [There are
a total of 24 monsters that are estimated to have the ability to breed.]
[There are probably more in reality.]
The emperor was silent for a while.
Louise was also watching the emperor’s silence.
“I want to call them all.”
“… … yes.”
At the Emperor’s words, Louise nodded.
