The Three Crowns, Rupel Olfalls.

It was a moment, but I almost forgot my name.

“Oh, brother! ”

“... you're not responding. You didn't forget me. ”

I laughed in circles.

In fact, I forgot. It was more like air than Luan and Hilda in the Holy See.

“You'll forget. I owe you one. ”

It's true.

He was one of the brothers who hated me and Luan the First.

At the time of the Vampire incident, he was also the one who let me out of prison, thinking I was a jerk.

“Then why are you here? ”

“My mansion lies between the Aslan border and Humid. Have you forgotten that, too?”

Was it?

On the other hand, it was stated that there were three popes in Hummites' records.

It was so small that it was just a passage.

“That doesn't mean you live in Hummite. What brings you here? ”

“It's hard to talk here, so let's go have some tea. ”

Rufel led us to an office inside the Academy.

The servant gave me the car that she brought.

I sat on the couch and looked at Rupel.

“I don't know if you know this, but Hummite is part of my jurisdiction. ”

Rupel stared at me while drinking tea.

“You did something in my territory without my knowledge. Allen Olfalls.”

Maybe it's about the Black Cult.

I said while drinking tea.

“You've done your job. Someone might misunderstand. Please tell me you've done your job. Moreover, I was moved by the Holy Father's permission. ”

“That was my problem to solve. ”

He said in a grumpy tone that he didn't like Rupel.

I smiled and said, looking at that Rupel.

“Then why didn't you do it sooner? Do you have any idea how terrified people are because they've been neglected for a month? Their wounds are not something that can be solved financially. If you have time later, visit their graves. ”

“... is this thing opening up? I work in the Imperial Palace and can't see a thing. ”

“Do you know what I did in the Imperial Court? ”

I stared at Rupel and said,

Rupel swallows a dry saliva, flawed.

He must have heard it too. About the imperial palace and the bloodbath of the capital, Lorenzis.

He said, avoiding his eyes.

“Uh, well, didn't you hunt a vampire? ”

Lupel's hands are shaking less as he drinks tea.

Such a cowardly character.

Well, some rumors tell me I caused a rebellion.

Rumor has it that 'I tried to kill Luan by leading the paladins'.

If that were true, Rupel was an accomplice.

Luckily, it was vampire hunting. Otherwise, Rupel and I would have to spend the rest of our lives in prison.

Rupel turns his back to hide his emotions.

“Hmmm, after you got here, Hummite's condition didn't add up. ”

“You mean the condition of the people who wander around late at night and the blue Santa helps the neighbors, ha-ha-ha, ha-ha, ha-ha? What's your assessment of Hummite's condition? ”

“... I think it's very good. Better next to Lawrence when it comes to security. ”

Lupel expressions frustrated and said frankly.

I shrugged.

“Then there's no problem. ”

“Of course it matters. I came to see you. ”

Rupel sighs and finds his forehead.

“Blue Santa, isn't that like the Red Devil? How do you deal with such a thing? ”

“I tortured the Necromancers. So they followed me. ”

“... I've seen it up close. It's a strange thing. He's an ominous creature. Is there a Necromancer among your attendants? An angel or something? ”

“Oh, you mean the Holy Undead? Amazing, isn't it? The skill gained by torturing aliens. Hey, Necromancer's skill set is the best in the world! ”

“Don't even think about talking back. ”

Rupel's expression shivers.

The Catholic Church has not yet mentioned the Holy Undead.

But soon it will spread.

I have to prepare my mind accordingly.

My actions will also vary depending on what the Holy Father and Holy Father do.

“I understand the size of the Black Pantheon in Humid is considerable. There are also Necromancers still lurking in each city. Aslan in the south is recruiting a squad of commandos. ”

Rupel speaks with his tongue.

“Given this situation, the Holy Father doubts whether the Black Church and Aslan are forged and invading the Holy See. ”

“You're sure, not doubtful. ”

As soon as we find a cause for evidence, we say, "Plunder! It's slaughter!"

That lunatic should be enough.

Knowing that, Rupel also pressed his temples.

“They said they were going to send an ambassador to see if they panicked in Aslan. ”

Aslan must be scared, too.

There is a great difference between war in the Holy See or war in Aslan.

Aslan will also have to find a way to appease his angry grandfather.

I said lightly.

“If the ambassador's here, he'll bring a gift. It's not an invasion, but if there was such an indication, then the gift would be substantial. Can I have some allowance? ”

Aslan is a wasteland, but it is a continent where resources and funds go to the next Divine Constitution.

Not only the buried stone and iron ore, but also slavery against Humankind. These two were important elements of Aslan's economic growth.

I was more likely to bring gifts to stop the war when the ambassador was deployed.

Depending on the amount, Celt may or may not care for it.

“Maybe a month from now, we'll have an Aslan ambassador here in Humid. ”

“I guess I'll be here in a month. ”

“Do you intend to stay until then? ”

“The Imperial Palace is tired. Besides, magic research is fun these days, and the Santa Claus business is just right. ”

Lupel groaned.

“We should hold a welcoming committee for the Ambassador here. I'm also responsible for getting the Ambassador to Lawrence safely. ”

Rupel wiggles his fingers. Even my legs trembled and saw that I was nervous.

“I want you to remain calm until they come. Or as a transfer student. Stay a student. Wouldn't that be better? ”

“What does my staying calm have to do with Ambassador Aslan? ”

Rupel frowns.

“Aslan is a group that serves the God of Death, Judah. Though unlike us, commanders are priests and nobles to them. ”

In Aslan, commanders belonged to nobles. In addition, the slaves they dealt with were their food and nutritional sources, and they lived forever in bondage as "eternal slaves."

“What if you could see them oppressed? ”

He clearly oppressed his noble self, saying, 'Are you underestimating us?' I'm sure he'll say.

“So I'll take the ambassador and help him succeed. ”

“Are you asking me to stay with you? ”

“On the contrary. I'm just asking you to stay calm. I can't do that. I just want to be a student. ”

Rupel folds his hands together and bows his head.

“Please. Let me hold the ball this time. I think the Holy Father has forgotten me lately. ”

I felt desperate for Rufel.

In fact, the order of the successors of the imperial throne would have been somewhat cleared in Luan's resurrected yard.

First place is Luan, second place is Hilda, and third place is Rupel.

If the Hummite you manage is immortal and there is a conflict with this diplomacy, you will fall below it.

Nevertheless, Necromancers are infiltrating the city nowadays, even if Rupel asks them to. Even if they're here for reconnaissance, we can't let them...

“I'll listen to anything you want. ”

The words made my ears tingle.

“Anything? ”

“Yes. What do you want? I have some authority here. I'll do my best to listen to what you want. ”

“Then the 'Grimoire of Commander King Amon' stored in the Academy. I want to see that. ”

I immediately got the matter out.

Rupel's expression hardened.

“... it cannot be seen without the Holy Father's permission. ”

Yeah, that was the problem.

The Celts did not spare me the interrogation of heretics and unconditional support. But I've put a limit on the magic book about Commander King Amon. There's nothing you won't see if you force it, but I want you to share the responsibility with the three popes.

“How could I not? If you do that, I'll go back to school as my brother said. I'll make sure you graduate if you want. ”

Of course, the activities of the night will be as quiet as possible. We can't just leave the Necromancers lying around.

“No, I'm in trouble when I graduate. Anyway, I'll think about it. We can sneak him out. But I'll be damned if I find out. ”

“Don't worry, I'll take responsibility with you. ”

“... Got it. I'll try. It'll only take a minute. ”

I nodded.

“Very well.”

Satisfactory results

I drank tea with a satisfactory smile.

Lupel cautiously opened his mouth to see me like that.

“But just in case...”

"...?"

“Do you know how to tell the difference between a vampire, a Lycan, or a Necromancer? ”

There have been some strange rumors going around the Holy See.

Vampire Slayers, Lycan Butchers, and so on. It's an angel's weapon now.

It seems to point to me, but it's mostly exaggerated rumors.

“Yes, I do. ”

Rupel's eyes widen.

Quite remarkable, considering how impossible it has been to distinguish between a vampire and a Necromancer for the last hundred years.

“Do you really... know? How?"

“Do you know about the incident I had in the Northern Great Beyond? ”

Rupel is flawed and silent.

The incident where the prince almost died is also a taboo situation that even the brothers of the saints are reluctant to talk about.

Lupel, who had been silent for a while, nodded.

“I know. Isn't that the Witch Morgana case? ”

Rupel replied in a low voice. I am quite nervous.

On that face, I decided to fit in.

I said with a look on my face when the Buddha came to realize.

“At that time, there was a divine revelation. ”

Rupel's expression hardened.

“Divine revelation? You got Guia's blessing? ”

“Gaia only told me about the distinction between evil and evil. ”

“How? Then others can too! ”

“Do you want to know? ”

Rupel nods several times.

It's pretty serious. It's that urgent.

When we're at our peak, we'll have to deal with some troubling monsters like Vampires, Necromancers, Lycans, etc.

Well, you're welcome to give me a little tip.

“Simple.”

I briefly explained.

“Put the statue of the gods of the Holy See in front of the statue. ”

I took the vase as an example.

Place the vase in front of you.

“And put your hands together and pray and worship with all your heart."

“Pray? Me? ”

“Yes, um, and chant the incantation. He is a praiser favored by ancient gods. ”

“Is there such a thing? ”

I nod, smiling and smiling.

"Did you know it was blasphemous? ”

* *

I told him some of the blasphemy I didn't know, and then came out to visit.

A strange sound was heard between the visits.

Hey, good test.

Aren't you curious?

It was my former master who called Gaia a a slut.

And I don't know if that karma is directed at me or just a coincidence, but I'm struggling with a lot of things.

I wondered what would happen to Pope Rupel if he were a prankster.

You think he's gonna fuck around like I did? Or should I just ignore it?

Actually, half is a joke. God doesn't deserve this kind of prank, either.

“If you're ever in trouble...”

I looked at the office with a sympathetic smile.

Three, don't forget your sacrifice. Don't worry about it.

You might grow up through trials, too.

“Student, by the way...”

I looked at Rufel's transfer documents.

Be quiet for a month, until the Ambassador arrives.

It turns out...

“I thought Charlotte was here, too? ”

Maybe I'll get a chance to meet her.

* *

A village off the banks of Hummite.

There was blood on Oscar's forehead.

“Charlotte, you are a member of the Golden Cross. We obey the order of the Patriarch."

“... and I swear to follow the Crown Prince. ”

Oskar's mouth twitches.

Who does this stubbornness resemble?

“You must take His Holiness, not the Prince! ”

"..."

‘Then I will leave the Golden Cross.’ Charlotte swallowed it in her heart.

There's still something to learn here.

With them, she grew to be remarkable.

She saw it firsthand.

Oskar glances at her, grumbling.

“Starting today, the training strength will be doubled. Any objections?”

“... none. ”

Oskar picks up his sword again.

The next day, she had lunch at the Academy Restaurant.

Her face and arms were covered in bloody bandages.

The students nearby whispered as they looked at her.

“Well, my body's not talking, is that okay? ”

She glances at you.

The boy who was familiar with her sneaks up on her and sits next to her.

A boy who insulted his parents in Lonia.

His name is Heiss.

He is the eldest son of the Earl Headon family.

He was particularly interested in her.

“I'm fine.”

She continues to eat, ignoring him.

Heiss approaches her and grabs something out of her arms.

“Potions. Very precious. If you use it, the wound will be...”

“I'm fine.”

Oskar said.

I need to know how to take the pain.

Monsters hunt you if you can't move your wounded body.

Other than the ‘absolute command’, I had much to learn from him.

It is still worth following.

“Oh, yeah? ”

Heith's taste was unfortunate. He looks at her, noticing.

expressionless.

Mature, serene, and stealthy.

Haiss glances at her for a while, mesmerized by that.

I can't even move Heiss with a scar.

Even though it must be painful, I don't feel sick.

What the hell are you doing to get hurt like this every time?

As the High Mother reaches back and tries to speak to her, she gets up.

“Oh, oh, wait a minute! ”

As I tried to leave the restaurant with the plate, Heiss hurriedly followed behind her.

At that moment, Charlotte's vision became blurred.

The cumulative fatigue made her dizzy for a moment.

The surrounding sound disappears. All I could see was the black and white world.

She nearly collapsed from anemia after a short period of awakening.

There was someone who gave her that.

“Oh, thank you… ”

Charlotte gives thanks for almost spilling the plate, but tries to push the person who supported her with her hand.

At that moment, a familiar voice was heard in her ears.

“Are you okay?"

Charlotte's shoulders twitch.

She doubted her ears.

She looks back to see the other person's face.

“It's been a long time. What's going on? Your face...”

Her eyes widen and her eyes gradually rise.

There was someone who came into her eyes in a world that was like dirt.

“Huang...”

As you approach her, the other person frowns with his fingers.

In the appearance, she shuts up.

“You can't call me that here. Let me introduce my name. ”

The one she so desperately wanted to protect was in front of her eyes.

The boy smiled and said.

Now he was writing another name.

“My name is Jeron...”

Alan...

“Rifan."

Olfalls.

He smiled and said.

“For a little while, I got here. Don't owe me for a long time. Charlotte."

Seven were before her eyes.
