22 Merry Christmas!

* *

I frowned and glanced at the Musket Rifle and the Vampire Earl being drawn away by the zombies.

You shot him in the head. However, the trajectory of the bullet has changed due to obstacles and distances.

Thanks to you, the blessing of jokes has become a reality.

"I didn't kill him after all."

The Vampire Earl is out of range.

In that state, neither Vampire nor Undead forces will be able to move easily, and I have no strength left to draw their power. My legs are still shaking and my head is dizzy.

"That should buy us some time."

At least I got time to reorganize.

I also needed time to gather my strength and make holy water as an energy drink.

"But · · ·."

When I turned my gaze, everyone's gaze was towards me.

"Why are you so quiet?"

I frowned, feeling everyone's gaze.

Soldiers and prisoners, Lord Zeneld, and Charlotte and Haman, who had just come from afar, were silently watching me.

* *

The sun went down and it became night.

Haman stands tall on the outer wall.

He gazes at the advancement of the enemy, where the vampires and undead are.

Thought about how they would attack, how to prepare for it, but his mind was occupied with other thoughts.

The next day, the injured soldiers were treated by the priest and holy water.

With the exception of serious injuries, Haman could not hide his surprise that they had all been ‘cured’.

‘This is no ordinary holy water. ’

Haman looks at the holy water in his hand.

The holy water in the small glass jar was the best made by the High Priest to draw together the sacred power day and night.

Power that can cure dozens of people with just one bottle. The prince gave it to me.

‘That is also a significant quantity. ’

Thanks to the dilution of the water, over a hundred people were saved by the Crown Prince.

“What is the prince hiding? ”

Haman had many questions for the Emperor.

I had to ask where the Supreme Holy Water was, even if it was a coincidence.

Or is it the Crown Prince who made this?

‘There's no way the Crown Prince has that ability. But · · ·. ’

The prince shoots a vampire.

Blessed by Goddess Gaia.

The other priests didn't seem to know about him yet.

He wore a mask on purpose to conceal his true identity.

In fact, Haman was suspicious.

I wonder if shooting vampires was actually a high priest other than the Crown Prince.

‘But · · ·. No.'

A girl named Charlotte called the Earl Vampire "The Prince" towards the one who shot him.

He couldn't have lied to me if he was the one serving the Prince.

"And the child named Charlotte was not ordinary. ’

She knew of the sullen swordsmanship.

· · · When asked how you knew it.

- I read and learned.

... and didn't tell me the truth.

I had no choice but to laugh.

You read and learned?

That's a lie.

That move is not something you can only follow by looking at a book.

It is a sword with all sorts of skills, so it requires a sense of balance, strength and agility to support it.

At least a few years worth of practice.

You must have mastered swordsmanship a long time ago. It is not uncommon for such a child to stand by the prince's side.

Have you known each other for a long time? ’

I thought that maybe the Holy Father's faithfulness to the care of the Seven Princes was secretly planted by the Holy Father.

‘Then, the father of the girl, Grill, is also not an ordinary man. ’

Maybe the Grill is the knight who hid his identity?

However, when they investigated, they said they had already been on the command's land for decades. Charlotte also lost her parents to the plague and was adopted by a man named Grill as a quantum.

It's hard to disguise yourself to talk to the villagers.

It's complicated.

Everything is a mystery.

`It is strange that the prince has changed. `

After the prince was betrayed and disguised as a suicide, he turned 180 degrees.

It changed after the loss of 'memory.'

Maybe because I forgot about the trauma five years ago. `

The first prince, the mother who gave birth to the seventh prince, Yulicia.

She was a peasant-born, rural virgin and also a hybrid of southern Aslan countries.

Because of the blood of the country that had been pretending to be with the Holy Father for hundreds of years, the view of her was not good in the Holy Father.

Then she fell in love with the son of the Holy Father and gave birth to the First Prince.

The nobles and priests strongly opposed the fact that they chose a lowly commoner for their noble family, and that half of them had the blood of Aslan in the south.

Above all, that was the status quo.

In order to overcome the opposition of the Holy Father, nobles and priests, the son of the Holy Father took two noble families as his concubines.

The wives who entered the concubine gave birth to numerous princes and princesses, and Mainland Julia gave birth to seven emperors.

The year he turned ten.

The first and seventh emperor's mother, Julia, was attacked by vampires in the garden of the imperial palace on the snowy night.

The first prince survived a lifetime, but was cursed by a spell that penetrated his heart. Yulicia tore her limbs to pieces while protecting the Seven.

When my beloved mother, Julia, died and even her brother was sick, the emperor fell into a deep shock.

A 10-year-old child who was naturally good grew up to be scared and like other people's funnels and not trust anyone.

"Is that how the Witch Morgana restored her true nature? ’

No, there's something strange about that.

There was no connection between the memory loss and the strong force.

‘The nobleman named Heiss insulted Charlotte and said that the prince couldn't bear it. ’

However, by insulting Charlotte, the prince would not have moved.

You'll die on a cold floor with the word "layman's theme." Words.

They all corresponded to the Mother of the Seven Kingdoms, Ulyssia.

Maybe that's why the prince got angry and beat the hell out of him.

When I asked the prince, he was smiling, saying, "Just." · ·

`Do you remember? Or is it instinctively moving? `

Or maybe he's trying to change the eyes of the anarchist with an excuse to lose his memory.

Then why do we have to do that?

Haman sweeps his jaw.

‘That's the simple reason. ’

I had a hunch.

‘For revenge. ’

To avenge the mother of the seven emperors, the vampire who drove Yulicia to death, and the nobles who insulted her, the seven emperors were betrayed themselves.

‘This can happen. ’

The Imperial Palace has eyes and ears everywhere. Rather than being in the Imperial Palace, it would be better to be outcasts and raise your strength in a remote Monastery.

The prince said the villagers caught the Witch Morgana, but the villagers said the opposite.

`If you think so, you are right back and forth. That's why you're doing something so humiliating in front of me! `

I don't know how the prince is loved by Gaia and even has strong sexual powers. However, the prince could tell that he wanted power and dreamed of revenge.

And it was clear that a family was taking care of such a prince.

The child named Charlotte was proof of that.

All riddles have been solved.

‘Ulicia.'

A security guard who used to take care of her a long time ago.

Five years ago, he was also in the Imperial Courtyard.

He was accompanied by the Crusade to protect Ulithia, but he failed to complete his mission.

Although the first prince ordered us to call for reinforcements, it was impossible to leave without completing the escort mission.

That's like running away scared, not following orders!

Haman sharpened his teeth.

At that moment, I remembered myself and fell into a sense of self-esteem.

‘I had forgotten that. ’

The Crown Prince was raised to take revenge at the age of 10!

He endured all kinds of insults and was also betrayed · ·!

Haman swept his face.

Julia was a beautiful woman.

A woman who has an equal heart and cares for anyone.

A person who can be called a "saint."

“Maybe that's why. ”

That's why the first prince and himself treated the seventh prince, Allen Olfalls, so coldly.

No matter how much I killed my feelings, I could not tolerate insulting Ulicia.

But the truth was different.

If the 7th Prince seeks revenge from Ulithia.

"I will also help him! '

Haman clenches his fist. He took a deep breath and calmed down.

Revenge.

To do that, we have to get through this.

“Let's focus on the situation for now. ”

Haman sighs.

He takes care of the security of the territory again.

On the other side of Lonia, an undead horde is still encamping.

They're staring at this place with hundreds and thousands of red eyes.

Thanks to this, the soldiers' fatigue accumulated and morale gradually deteriorated without relieving them of their posture.

Tonight, it will be December 25th after 0: 00.

By then, the vampire erl will be on the move again.

Haman, who was watching the enemy advance, heads into the territory.

Soldiers patrol with torches.

A hole has been found in the territory.

Since the undead broke in there, it is more likely this time.

To stop it, you enlarge your patrols to make sure each house has a tunnel.

We made 30 pairs of ten in pairs as we searched.

There seem to be more troops watching over the perimeter than that, although there should be 300 men.

We're supposed to be shorthanded...

`What? `

You see soldiers wandering around the area with torches.

However, there were also some troops who moved without a ‘torch’.

Patrol in the dark, with moonlight swallowed by clouds?

Quite suspicious

Haman comes down from the wall. You pick up the torch, tell the knight to patrol for a while, and then walk toward the unknown soldiers.

Soldiers without torches wander only in dark, unpopular places.

As the soldiers enter the alley, Haman frowns and chases after them.

"Hey, soldier!"

They ignored Haman's words.

I frowned and took a quick step toward them, grabbing their shoulders and turning.

"Hey, soldier! What · · · · here."

At that moment, Haman's expression hardened.

A soldier wearing a helmet and mask.

It is common to use masks to hunt the undead, which spray poison and plague.

However, the target wears a mask to cover its face, rather than breathe.

He would be, too.

"Er... Dead?"

He was an undead soldier with dead eyes.

Haman draws his sword and steps back.

He still doubted his eyes and his senses.

"Why · · · ·. Performance · · · ·?"

A faint but sacred gust emanates from the undead's body.

"What the hell is going on?" What the hell are these guys? ’

Seeing them, Haman wondered if he was possessed by the Devil himself.

Some vampires have visions.

“But even the senses can't be deceived. ”

The spirited soldier walks again, ignoring Haman.

Haman grips his teeth as he looks at the undead.

There's no time to hesitate.

I don't know why the opposing Pokémon isn't interested in themselves, but the risk is too great to allow.

Haman swings his sword.

It has the sacred power in its blade.

Ordinary undead will burn to ashes on the day of the sword!

But · · ·.

- Tank!

... clogged.

Haman opens his eyes wide.

The dead man was using a sword with the same power as himself.

The dead man's eyes roll.

His soul burns in the dark and his eyes turn to him.

The Ghost Soldier flicks Haman's sword.

Stand back.

Then bend at the waist.

At the same time, a spear pierces through the darkness.

Another undead soldier swings his sword as he steps on the wall in a narrow alleyway.

“... what? ”

A brutal attack coming from the front and sides.

Haman's face hardens.

The undead are attacking the alliance like trained knights.
