Lunchtime.
I was at Hummite's store as usual.
It's been three weeks since I've been in the Academy.
While Charlotte and Heiss went to buy some food, Haman came to the bench where I was sitting.
“... Necromancers are active these days. ”
Haman sat next to me.
He gave me a fruit drink from wherever he bought it.
I said, "Take it and drink it."
“I know. I'm not a cockroach. If you kill one, you get two of them. ”
I could see them every night.
Especially near Hummite.
I kidnapped the visible tribe and interrogated them, but nothing came back.
“There won't be any Necromancers left, can we send them this way? ”
“Send the short-lived to disposal. Those who are mediocre. ”
You're saying you don't have to recycle?
Thanks to you, I'm not making any progress either.
I sighed deeply.
“The persistence suggests that the 'Chaos Plan’ is still in progress... What about Aslan? ”
“They're on their way. ”
“Are you still denying it? ”
“Yes, it's the only way for them to do it. You want to avoid as much war as it does in Aslan territory. But they won't be able to break down the walls and face the heavenly army. ”
The Black Cult still hasn't given up on anything.
The ambassador of Aslan also did not delay visiting here.
Do you really think he's gonna go to war?
How do they intend to push through the great walls, the heavenly armies, and even the Golden Cross?
Or is it really irrelevant to the Black Cult?
It was when the bear thought.
“Isn't this the Lord Xu? ”
Me and Haman turn our heads.
I saw a beautiful lady in her mid-30s.
Haman's mouth almost bursts with fruit juice, whether he's surprised or not.
Haman gets up in a hurry. I put my hands on my chest and lowered my lower back to be respectful.
“Lo, Rose Tuesday, I meet the Crown Prince. ”
The emperor's mercy?
I looked at the noblewoman with surprise.
[Name: Rose Darina.
Age: 45
Characteristics: Fragile Physique, Elixir of Mentality, Chaos and Chaos, Frenzied Obsession.
+ I will make my son a saint! Ah, Your Highness! I love you!]
I was surprised to see her name using my mind.
The Second Wife of the Crown Prince in the information that Haman used to bring us.
Rose Darina.
It was the mother of three popes, Rupel.
I said a light hello.
She smiles. And slowly approached.
“What brings the Seven here? ”
It was for a moment, but I couldn't find the way he looked at me.
He hates me like Rupel does.
I smiled and said lightly.
“I went to the Academy with Rufel's recommendation. ”
Torturing the Necromancers, I came to take away their technology, I couldn't say.
Rose frowned.
“You mean my Rupel? ”
My Rupel, he must have a terrible crush on his son.
“The two popes didn't tell me about it. That's a really sad story. ”
“The two princes?”
I tilted my head.
Who are you talking about?
It turned out that Haman didn't tell us about the Desecrate brothers who were related to the poisonous rose.
“Haman, who is the Second Prince? ”
I whispered in Haman's ear.
Haman sweats cold.
“That's..."
“Mother!"
At that time, a wagon was pulled up in the street.
The one who got out of the wagon was Rufel Olfalls.
He looks at Rose and sprints in surprise. Looking at that, Rose smiles brightly and hugs him.
“Ah, my lovely Rupel! My mother is here.How cute. How beautiful the Crown Prince will be when he sees you grow up!"
“No, it's... Mother...”
Rupel looks away. His face hardened when he saw me.
Well, that would be a shame. because a grown man is loved by his mother.
Is that why you're called the Maraboy you recognize in the Imperial Court?
“My son, have you eaten? ”
“Mother's scheme...”
“This mother has cooked for herself. ”
A delightful scene from the hat.
However, it will be hard to see hats that cherish each other like these in the Holy City.
You have a good mother, Rupel.
It was when I put my tongue to bitterness.
“Ah, my two princes, Rupel. You have to be really good at this. Speak well with Ambassador Aslan. My Rupel! My dear first child! ”
I turned my back on Rufel and Rose, stiffened.
Wait, what are you talking about?
Not the Three. The Two?
“What are you talking about? ”
I unconsciously told Haman.
“The Two? The Three? ”
Rupel grips his teeth and looks at Haman.
Haman whispered in my ear.
“I'll tell you later. ”
Are you saying there's an emergency?
“Mother, get in the wagon. You shouldn't be out here alone. If you get lost like last time...”
“I understand.”
Rose nods.
Then, he glanced at me with unpleasant gaze and got on the wagon.
Rupel picks up an item from the wagon.
“It's what you wanted. ”
Rupel throws a book.
I accepted it.
Stacked in cloth.
Inside the cloth, I felt like a chain. I felt a crude feeling if it was tied tightly.
It must be the grimoire that Amon the commander used before.
I looked at Rufel, forgetting the joy.
“Brother, what happened...”
“You don't need to know. ”
That's what Rupel said. He got on the wagon.
The wagon is out of sight as it leaves.
I frowned, looking back like that.
“... Haman, what's going on? ”
Haman groans.
It is because even the deputy commander of the Crucifixion cannot speak carelessly about the Holy Cross.
“As a heretic interrogator, would you refuse? How can a 3rd pope be the 2nd pope?"
I stared at Haman.
Haman sweats cold.
He stoops on the bench.
“... The nobles rested. ”
Haman squeezes his temples.
Then he looked at me and said,
“I'll tell you what I have to tell you, but don't tell anyone. ”
"No one to talk to. ”
Haman sighs and opens his mouth.
Rose Darina.
She loved the Crown Prince and went into her second wife and gave birth to a child.
He was the second prince. However, even before he saw the light of the world, his neck was wrapped around his umbilical cord and died.
“What?"
“It was terrible. No matter how many priests were around, you couldn't bring back a child who was already dead. ”
Rose is in shock.
I was even named for my child.
If it's a boy, Rupel, if it's a girl, Lucy.
But the child that was born died.
Rose cries in shock, holding a dead child.
The emperor, who regretted it, gave the child the position of second prince and buried him.
Rose is saddened.
I cried every day. The Crown Prince tucked her in, but she doesn't seem to be getting any better.
The sickness of the heart worsened every day.
When I saw the young servant, I called him Rufel, and I called him my child touching the doll.
And at the end of every sentence, "You are the child who will please the Crown Prince. ’even a pathological word.
“... there was no cure. ”
“A priest can heal injuries or illnesses to the body. But it doesn't cure mental illness. ”
I spent 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 the hurt of my heart and live a new life.
So when she became pregnant with the current three popes, trouble arose.
Haman's voice trembles in agony.
“At that time, His Royal Highness did what he shouldn't have done. ”
“What not to do? ”
Haman sweats cold.
I swiped my head and said when I hesitated.
“He brought back the Second Crown Prince. ”
"..."
That gave me goose bumps.
[Resurrection] has never been successful in history.
No wizard, alchemist or priest failed.
Not only did the saints and saints of all time, but no one else was possible. Except for me, who has both the power of a commander and a priest.
Above all, if the dead were neglected, no country could be revived.
But bringing him back means...
"... undead. ”
“It couldn't have happened in the Great Depression. ”
“How? She's a Necromancer? ”
“I don't know what's going on. It also suggests that the commanders seduced her. At that time, a great deal of things happened, such as the capture and execution of commanders. ”
Since that day, the Crown Prince stayed away from Rose in despair.
He handles the child himself with his own hands.
Rose still acted as if she didn't know what she had done.
At that time, she was born with three popes, and rose considered him the second pope.
Thus, the three princes were called the two princes, and they inherited the name as it was.
You're still calling it that because it's an incurable disease of the mind.
“That was terrible. ”
Chaos, chaos, obsession. Was this it?
I shook my head.
“It's a pity. ”
“It really is. ”
Haman sighs deeply as he speaks.
* *
Rose, who was in the wagon, covered her face with debt.
She narrows her eyes.
“Allen Olfalls. He seemed healthy. ”
At her words, Rupel looks at Rose in astonishment.
“When Ulicia died, I wish we had died together. ”
In a cold-blooded word, Rupel trembles.
“Mother, he's my brother. Don't say another word...”
“You failed the assassination in the oil field, and the Black Cult is sloppy. ”
Rupel takes a breath.
Rose looks at Rufel like the eyes of a snake.
“You must never lose to him. For the sake of the Crown Prince, we must ascend to the throne. Or can't I be loved? I don't think so, Rupel. My two lovely princes. ”
Rupel trembles.
She's broken. Too broken by too much love.
With chaos, chaos and obsession, she was a monster who abandoned her humanity.
The Crown Prince's attention was brought to the dead. She was in a hurry for it.
The Crown Prince's interest in returning to himself has become morbid.
“Mother, stop talking about your father...”
Rupel's gaze returned.
Then I saw the servant beside her.
With black hair and black eyes, she glares at the Rupel with mesmerizing eyes.
He raised his hand and gently stroked Rose's shoulder.
Rupel hardens his blemishes.
“What are you talking about? ”
At Rose's words, Rupel shakes his head.
“... No. It's nothing.”
“I heard the ambassador is coming soon. ”
“Th-there it is. ”
Rupel pulls his collar out of frustration.
“Finish the job well. It would be a great opportunity to become a saint. ”
“... I'll keep that in mind. ”
Rupel takes a breath.
We should never have made a mistake in this matter.
It was something that had to be successful, even for myself and my mother.
Rupel opened the compartment in the carriage seat and told the wagon.
“We go to the borders of Aslan. I'm going to see the Ambassador. ”
* *
The borders of Aslan.
Aslan's ambassador has been invited to the gates of the gates where the heavenly troops of the Holy See are stationed.
I wore a red hoodie covering my face, except for my loose clothes and eyes.
The commanders follow him with swords at their waist and sticks in their right hands.
The ambassador rides into the gate and lowers his chin hood.
“This is the land of the gods! ”
The ambassador's eyes widened.
His eyes look out the back gate of the city.
A dry land and a barren sandstorm.
I looked inside the gate.
Blessed land with soft meadows and fresh breezes.
I crossed the gate, but the difference was clear.
Indeed, if Aslan gains this earth, it will be like gaining the world.
The ambassador, who was looking at the land of the vast meadow, turned his gaze to the side.
You see the paladins around the walls.
The paladins, armed to the teeth, stand as tall as statues.
Heavenly soldiers.
It was one of the five great powers of the Holy See, which absolutely obeyed the order of the Holy See.
They are less skilled than the Crucifixion, but on a scale like that, they have overwhelming power.
In the words of the Holy Father, they will die and invade Aslan. And the rest of Aslan's wilderness will soon burn.
“Welcome. ”
The ambassador turned his gaze.
The three princes, Rupel Olfalls, greeted them politely.
“You've come a long way. ”
The ambassador of Aslan smiled softly at that Rupel. I bowed my head.
“I am Hima, the ambassador to Aslan. It is an honor to meet you. ”
Hima looked at the three popes, Rupel.
“Welcome to the Palace of Justice. It's called Rupel Olfalls. ”
As Rufel reached out his hand, Ambassador Hima gripped his hands and smiled deeply.
There was no one more important than the Three Crowns, Rupel Olfalls, for this matter.
If you use him, Aslan will have access to this blue earth.
“Thank you very much for this. Prince Rupel.”
Hima smiles.
