“Aaaaah! I'd rather kill, kill! ”
It was a confined space.
The dungeon where even the Red Cross can enter only by covering their eyes and ears.
There, two princes, Rupel, were tortured.
A small body rests on top of the torture chamber.
A fountain of holy water burns him, and a small body remains immobilized in a silver stake.
“Can I have a scalpel? ”
“I'll take a tweezers. ”
The Red Cross shifts their hands frenzily. Whenever I did, the two princes shouted.
“I told you! I told you everything I know. I really don't know anything...! ”
Rupel ignored the Red Cross even as they cried.
Rather, it increased the intensity.
A terrible sound echoes through the air.
After a while of torture, the Red Cross said.
“Let's rest now. ”
“Do you want to eat? ”
They take off their bloody leather gloves and wash their hands thoroughly.
It's urgent to share the conversation and take out the lunch box.
The two princes trembled.
He was a vampire, but the humans here were not in their right mind.
You mean Bob passed away at the scene of torturing a vampire!
He grips his teeth and rolls his eyes.
You hear the screams of vampires, Lycans, etc. over the walls, just a room surrounded by stone walls.
Apart from yourself, many people are being dragged here and tortured.
This place is hell! ’
I thought I knew why Earl Timont was so afraid of the Apocalypse.
These guys are a bunch of lunatics who enjoy torturing monsters.
If you stay here, you will be neither a vampire, nor a Lycan, nor be able to live.
We have to run! ’
But how?
Rufel, the second prince, thought of by the bear, looked at the two Red Crosses.
“Hey, hey! ”
The Red Cross looks at Rupel.
“Don't you want to be immortal? ”
The eyes of the Masked Red Cross widen.
In their reaction, Rupel smiled.
“I'll give you immortality if you want. Eternal life, old flesh! If you want to get it...."
The Red Cross scratches its head. They stand on the island of Jupiter.
After lightly organizing the lunchbox, I put on gloves.
“Huh?"
They approach with a flash of glare.
Lupel was frightened.
“Now, wait a minute. ”
“We'll have to eat later. ”
“Where do we start? ”
“First, slowly down the head. ”
They reach for the torture tools.
Lupel, the second prince, cried out with a pale face.
I messed with their planting for nothing.
Torture begins again, and Rufel declares surrender.
“Okay! I'll tell you, I'll tell you. Enough!”
The Red Cross looks down at Rupel.
Rufel opens his mouth with tears.
“There is an Earl Timont among the Vampires. ”
“And?”
Rupel says, swallowing a dry saliva.
“Him, and? And?"
“Cut him out.”
Blood splatters.
Rupel shouts.
“Okay, I'll tell you more! I don't know the details, ha, but.... ”
The Red Cross narrows their eyes.
“Earl Timont. That idiot is studying warp! ”
“Warp?”
The Red Cross tilts its head.
“Why?”
“I don't know.”
Torture tools stab Rupel hard.
Rumpel exclaims, vomiting blood.
"He said he was going to warp the Great Depression! ”
The Red Cross frowns inside.
"What are you talking about? ”
“The Patriarch Celt, he, and that monster, said he would warp the Patriarch clan. Tae-dimension, we're moving to another world! ”
The eyes of the Red Cross widen.
They stare at Rupel and say,
“Learn more. ”
Rumpel barely makes a voice, weeping.
“A spiritual system called a fantasy world, a giant being afraid of God, and a purgatory of the dead, and many other dimensions! ”
Rupel shouts.
“He said he was going to lock up the Great Depression there! ”
The Red Cross wrote Rufel's words in the document.
Once his mouth began to open, Rupel continued to speak.
“They say the Great Depression is sealed by warping it to another dimension. The Earl says you have nothing to fear. The Vampire King called it nonsense, but Earl Timon said it would soon be finished...! ”
“Warp, another world. ”
The Red Cross knows how warp works.
That's why I know Rupel's words are absolutely impossible.
But there are those who insist that it is possible.
“What do I do? Possible false information? ”
One of the Red Cross checked Ruphel's pulse.
“It's sparse. I don't even have the means to manipulate the body, so the pulse isn't false either. ”
“The truth? ”
“I'm not sure. But I have to report it. ”
The Red Cross nods and pauses at Rufel's torture chamber.
The fountain of holy water stops, and Rupel sighs.
I burst into a bizarre cry relieved that the pain had abated for a moment.
“It's payback for the interrogation. I'll let you rest for a little while. ”
The Red Cross moved on, saying that.
Now I had to report to the Holy Father.
About the warp Rupel spoke of.
* *
Haman makes his move.
It has been a month since the interior of the palace was chaotic.
Some of the ruined Imperial Palace repairs have been completed. The structure of the secret passageway used by the Golden Cross has also been refurbished.
Archbishop Rafael was rescued and promoted to Cardinal Cardinal, and the leaders of the Order of Kaolium were hanged.
The rest of the congregation were ordered to serve three years in northern Lonia.
Everything was going back to the way it was.
Except for the Vampire Invasion and the Second Imperial Mercy case. ’
Haman sighs.
The two cases were also problematic, but a death sentence was also issued against the traitor, Pope Rupel.
I couldn't figure out how to tell the 7th Prince.
Haman stands in front of the visit.
You greet Charlotte, standing guard.
As he knocks, his skin smells burning.
When Haman tilted his head, Charlotte said with an awkward smile.
“The prince and Hans are with him. He's researching a problem called Aztalun. ”
At that point, Haman knocks with a complex heart and opens the door.
“Your Highness.”
I saw a boy with his shirt off through the open door and a man with a tattoo on his back and arm.
There were all kinds of rune inscriptions all around, and there was Eltera metal and stone called Spirit Metal rolling around.
The emperor raises his hand when he sees Haman, though he looks at him with an impression of tingling pain.
“Oh! Haman, welcome. ”
Haman smiles bitterly as he looks at the seven energetic princes.
The emperor was full of energy to the extent that he was worrying about himself.
* *
I greeted Haman brightly.
Haman asked with a kind expression.
“What are you doing? ”
“It's engraved on the body of an Aztalun or something. ”
It's only part of it, of course.
After collecting Michael's shredded corpse and writing down the runes, you show it to Hans and have him study it.
After a month of research, Hans discovered very few of them.
I asked Hans.
“How long do you think it'll take to decipher the rest? ”
Hans raises the goggle.
I put the tweezers in a bowl of holy water and looked at the document.
“It's a very complex structure, even if it's a forgery. ”
Hans said in an excited voice.
It was quite exciting for an alchemist, as it was a divine text.
“With the alchemists, priests, and high priests of the Kaolium Cult who studied this, it should take at least three months. We have the data from the search for the Kaolium Cult, so that's exactly what we expect. ”
Hans looks at the document as he says.
“But even if you make a forgery, it's hard to find a user. Unless you're an Archbishop, your body will explode because you can't handle it. ”
“That's fine. I can control it. ”
Hans nods at my words.
"Well, if it isn't the prince who hunts for a purpose. 'Hans muttered like that.
I asked Hans.
“What about the Vampire Warp? Does it overlap with Runic study? ”
“That'll be fine. We're making progress. We'll know soon enough. ”
Haman, who was listening to Hans and I, heads to the window.
He noticed and told me.
“Your Highness, have you heard the story? ”
I looked at Haman.
“What story? ”
“The Second Crown Prince. ”
I stood up and turned to the window that Haman was looking at.
1st Prince Luan and White, released from prison, accompanied.
They are marching out of the Imperial Palace with five forces: the "heavenly army".
“You said you were going to Rom Kingdom, right? ”
Haman nods.
“You said you were at war there. Is it okay for a foreigner to interfere? ”
“There are reports that the rebels are protecting the Second Emperor's mercy. It's no good to hide her plot as well as Rom. It is also requested directly from the Royal Court of the Kingdom of Rome. ”
At that, I muttered to myself.
“How good is the Kingdom of Rome?" The Great Depression is supporting us. ”
“The price should also be paid to us. ”
At that, I nodded.
Haman glances at me and asks.
“Are you all right? ”
Haman was able to guess why he had asked these questions.
The vengeance against the mother of this body, Ulithia.
“I don't know.”
I purposely answered ambiguously.
I'm sorry about Ulicia, but I have nothing to interfere with, and her vengeance has been the work of the parties.
After all, the two men who hated Prince Charity took their own steps.
Whether White hesitates or not, Luan will strangle the Second Crown Prince without hesitation.
Haman looks at me for a while and opens his mouth.
“Actually, I came to tell you about it. ”
I looked into Haman's eyes.
“Three, Rufel wants to see you. ”
“Brother? Why? ”
In fact, I do.
There was only one reason for Rupel to find me.
Obviously.
“It's about the emperor's mercy. ”
It's Rose.
I've had my fill.
It would be good to visit.
The life of the three princes is almost over.
* *
It's a damp, moldy prison.
Prisoners groan. An advisor in a mask takes off his top and walks down the hallway with a lantern in his hand.
Me and Charlotte take a look around behind those torturers.
Sinners stare at me with their eyes wide open.
They were all condemned to death.
Some call it unfair, and some beg for their lives.
Some people blabbed or laughed openly.
What a brutal thing to do! Is there a Triple Prince Rupel in this place?
Then, I arrived at my destination.
The torturer raises his lantern and tells the prisoner.
“Visiting, traitor Rufel. The Crown Prince is here, so behave yourself. ”
The torturer said so and gave me the key to the prison.
“Then, Your Highness, call me if anything happens. ”
“Oh, thank you. ”
The torturer ducks away with a light bow.
I hold up my lantern, looking ahead.
In the darkness, I could see the three popes, Rupel.
When I first met him, he was quite handsome and despicable.
He is now closed.
My beard is bloated and my skin and lips are dry.
Yawin's body was bound in chains and deprived of his freedom in prison.
It's hard to believe he was once called the Crown Prince.
I smiled bitterly at that Rupel.
It was not a good relationship, but it was complicated because the brother who talked to me was locked up.
I smiled in a heartfelt way.
He raises his fruit basket in his hand and says,
“Sir, I've come to see you! ”
I opened the door with the key I received from the torturer.
Lupel looks dazed.
“Sir?”
I waved my hand in front of that Rupel.
But he just stood there and did nothing.
You're out of your mind.
Eventually, I put my hand on Rupel's head and injected his power.
After a while, Rupel glanced at me in surprise.
“Brother, what's the matter with me...? ”
“Allen!”
Rupel grabs my shoulder.
At the same time, Charlotte's eyes flash.
She draws her sword and points it at Rupel's neck.
“Take your filthy hands off me. ”
At her fierce gaze, Rupel takes off his hands, terrified.
“I'm fine. ”
Charlotte reaps the sword.
She had a grudge against the three princes, Rupel.
It's because I think it's one of the plagues that sent me to Aslan.
So I was sensitive if I sensed any danger.
I straightened my collar and looked at Rufel.
He sits on the floor in despair.
Of course I did.
He was sentenced to death. There is no hope anymore.
I smiled and spoke softly to change the mood.
“So what did you call me? ”
“Alan, Alan! ”
Rupel covers his head. He repeatedly shouted my name.
I bit Charlotte backwards and sat on the floor of the prison.
“Yes, I'm here. Brother.”
Rupelle's pupils falter.
He told me.
“Do me a favor. Me, my mother, Rose Darina.... ”
“I refuse. I cannot help you. ”
I refused immediately before Rufel even said anything.
You must be asking for Rose.
I can't listen to this as a favor.
It's because there's no reason to save the traitor, Rose, and no one else.
Aslan's wrath. A master who lured a Vampire into the Imperial Palace. He also tried to assassinate me.
I have no intention of saving her, and if I do wrong, I will also become an accomplice.
You don't have to take that risk.
In my words, Rupel's expression collapsed.
He reached out and grabbed my collar.
Lupel ducks, his head fluttering.
“I know, Alan. She can't live anymore. Angry people don't want to save their mothers. I know you can't help me. But…!"
I felt the power in the hands of the Rupel who held me.
“First Prince, if it's Brother Luan and his father, I'm sure he'll kill her as soon as I see her. ”
Rupel grips his teeth.
“As a brother, I'm asking you as a child of a mother. ”
He raises his head.
Tears poured down my cheeks. He cries out in a distorted face.
“A minute, maybe a few seconds. I want to see my mother before I die. ”
“Don't say save, don't say save. It's my mother's and mine. I know you've got some nerve. But I really want to see her face one last time. ”
Rupel bows his head and buries his face in my chest.
“My first and last wish. Alan says, trembling.
“Let me... meet my mother. ”
