Office of Hummite Academy.
Oskar Valder, deputy commander of the Golden Cross, has been invited.
Oskar sits on the couch and stares at the seven princes sitting across from him in surprise.
He is small in stature. Even during growing up, only those who practiced swordsmanship looked smaller than others.
However, the atmosphere and eyes that he felt were different from the wretched substance that he had only heard through rumors.
"This is more than a mule."
I felt majesty as a king.
Above all, that lifelike look.
It's like looking at an old Celtic.
"Is this the man Charlotte insisted on serving? ’
Oskar looks away.
Charlotte Heraiz, sitting on the couch next to the seven princes, is holding her hands together and bowing her head.
If anyone sees him, he may look like a common servant or maid, but he is now a noble noble.He was the most skilled swordsman in the Holy Father.
“Thank you for your help on this, Oskar Valdre."
Oskar smiles softly as he looks at the seven princes who are talking while drinking tea.
However, I observed the seven princes.
Celt has always written a story about her grandson and granddaughter for the next Holy Father and the Golden Cross to serve.
The most interesting thing in recent years was the story of the seven popes.
I sought and slaughtered the Vampire of the Great Depression. Archbishop Raphael cured the untreated Luan and eliminated the troublesome Siege Lycan in the northwest.
In Hummite, he was dispatched as a heretic interrogator, abducted and imprisoned by Necromancers called "angels." They say they are still doing something while hiding them.
Horrible and cruel tendencies.
But Charlotte is a straight arrow.
I mean, isn't he the fun type?
‘... Luann and Hilda are fun people. This guy is interesting. ’
What happens when the boy in front of you turns into a man?
It was very attractive to imagine.
What they did was really fun for Oscar.
Leaders of the empire who hunt monsters.
The Festival of Blood they hold.
I had no choice but to be excited about what madness awaits me.
He smiled softly while managing his face.
“Thank you very much, Your Highness. I can't believe I'm being treated like this. ”
Oskar takes a sip of tea and looks at the Seven.
“But what did the seven princes call you? Is there another mission? ”
You don't expect me to kill the Ambassador and hang his neck on the Aslan border, do you?
“Can you stand against the Undead Reach? ”
Oskar tilts his head to the question of the seven popes.
“I don't care about one or two. Commander King Amon had 15 undead Reaches. I pierced the horde of monsters they summoned and escorted His Holiness and Archbishop Raphael to Amon. ”
The seven popes opened their eyes as if surprised.
The disciples of the Celestial Family would know, but from what they did not know, they must have lost their memory as they had heard.
“Is that something a human can do? ”
“They were very strong. ”
“There are no monsters. ”
The seven popes have their tongues full.
Haha! Who the hell calls anyone a monster?
Of course, Celtic is powerful enough to be ignorant compared to generations of Celts.
But even a Celt like that, compared to the age of a boy and a girl in front of him...
Oskar raises his mouth.
“Why are you suddenly asking about Rich? ”
“I summoned you here because I have a favor to ask you. ”
“Speak.”
“I'm asking you. ”
Oskar's eyes narrow.
The Holy Father Celt himself is coming here to Hummite.
The reason is to kill the ‘traitor’.
The name of the traitor also corresponds to both Rose Darina and her family.
They may be related to Aslan, but once they find out, the Holy Father Celts will be silently watching this situation.
And now you're telling me that the seven princes are asking for the three princes?
Did he notice anything?
“I can handle the Undead Reach. ”
“Oh!”
Oskar expressed his deepest admiration.
I've heard of you, but you're a monster!
A 16-year-old boy who can fight the undead rich!
“But I'm also not willing to fight him to protect him. First of all, I'm bad at protecting people. ”
Oskar smiles bitterly.
Now I understand the intentions of the Seven.
So, you want me to protect the traitor?
“The moment the Golden Cross landed in your mansion, the banquet hall changed from the Academy to your mansion. Even with the Golden Cross. Which means...”
“... You mean there's an army around the mansion with an ambassador. ”
“Or maybe the ambassador is hiding the Undead Reach. So…”
The seven popes looked at Oskar and said,
“I want you to protect him. ”
Is that why you had me surround Rupel's mansion? Not just to suppress the metabolism?
“Very well. If the Crown Prince commands it. ”
“Thank you.”
The seven popes chuckled.
After a brief conversation, Oskar stood up and looked at Charlotte.
“Do you know where Charlotte will be placed? ”
Oskar's words surprised the seven popes.
Oh, I see. She doesn't know?
Oskar smiled and said:
“I'm the one teaching Charlotte. She's staying in my house. ”
“... did you hurt her? ”
“I didn't mean to hurt your acolyte. Well, I appreciate your patience. ”
The seven princes gave an unpleasant look and looked at Charlotte.
Charlotte bowed her head as if she knew the prince's intentions just by looking at him.
“I'm fine. Rather, I owe it to Oskar. ”
“If you say so. Charlotte's supposed to be guarding Hummite with Harman at the Crusade. Of course, on the last day you will attend the banquet with me. ”
“I see.”
“Then…. I'm asking you, Oskar. No matter what happens, you first. ”
Oskar nods lightly.
Of course I said that.
Rupel must stay alive until Celtic arrives.
so that the Holy Father can punish him himself.
Oskar stood up. He bowed his head to the seven popes.
“Of course. The Holy Father's words, I'll do that. ”
Oskar stares at Charlotte.
“And Charlotte, I'll get you a present later. ”
At that point, Charlotte lowers her head slightly.
Oskar comes out of the Oval Office with a happy smile.
Haman nods at him, nervous at the door.
“I heard you and Charlotte were in charge of Hummite's protection. ”
“Yes, it is. ”
Oskar nods and shrugs his shoulders.
“Then follow her orders well. ”
“Understood...”
Haman stares at Oskar, flabbergasted.
“Why is that? ”
“That... Charlotte's orders. What the...”
“Oh, right. You don't know him, do you? Did you know she was Hershel's identity? ”
Haman sweats a cold sweat.
“Oh, that's... that's actually...”
“She was sergeant in the imperial court. And also…”
Oskar whispers in Haman's ear.
“The current head of the Hundred Crusades, the Lord of Heraise. ”
"...!"
“The Holy Father commands it. Do you know what that means? ”
"..."
“He's your boss. ”
The Golden Cross, the Hundred, the Red Cross, the Green Cross, the Holy Cross, the Celestial Army.
Sequences are divided in this order.
When viewed that way, Charlotte Heriz ranks much higher than Haman Diaman.
“Take good care of him. Ah, she seems to be keeping secrets, so don't tell the Crown Prince alone. Actually, there's nothing good about being known to other nobles. She won't be able to stop them yet. ”
“... I understand. ”
Haman mutters to himself with a blank expression.
Oskar smiles satisfactorily at his expression.
“Take good care of Charlotte. ”
Oskar walks down the hallway laughing.
Now he had to work.
Camped in Rufel's mansion and stopped a single one from coming out.
* *
Over time, a festival and banquet for the ambassador of the Hima took place.
A simple parade takes place, and the Crusade guarding Hummite marches.
People cheer as the paladins in armor pass by.
Various competitive events were held and organized to boost the festivities.
Charlotte and Haiss also participated in the match.
It is there for the safety of the nobles participating in the match as a group.
Me, Rufel, and Ambassador Hima were watching the Festival of Hummites in the courtyard of Rufel's mansion.
“Magic can do that. ”
I looked at the center of the banquet hall where music flowed and rare foods were placed.
The fountain of palace wizards and alchemists was showing live views of Hummites like holograms.
It's called a Video Crystal Ball.
The method of storing and sending the image is a way of passing the distance around it if it is a distance.
Since it was the first item on display, those who visited the banquet hall also expressed their admiration.
Ambassador Hima was surprised and cried out.
“Oh! That's great. I can't believe how magical the Divine Constabulary is! Do you think we can find out about this spell? ”
Lupel, who was holding a glass of wine in his face, smiled and said.
“Of course. That's all I can offer for a friendly relationship with Aslan. However, our side is also very expensive to study...”
“Then we will support you. In order to reconcile with the Holy See, we have to help each other. Haha!”
“Thank you. But...”
Rupel looks back.
Oskar is right next to you.
“Oskar, would you mind stepping away? ”
“I'm sorry, Your Highness. when it comes to escort. ”
At Oskar's words, Rupel groans.
Ambassador Hima also wiped off the sweat with a handkerchief, sweating cold sweat because Oskar was too burdened.
I watched Lupel and Ambassador Hima on the balcony on the second floor.
Rupel was having a very positive conversation with Ambassador Hima.
I don't think this is going to be a problem.
"... smells terrible. ”
A strange stench has appeared around the mansion.
This house has long been inhabited by the undead.
Does Rupel know about this?
How the hell can you be so magical? Or maybe...
After a brief conversation with Ambassador Hima, Rufel glances at me and approaches.
“How about a banquet? ”
“Pleasure.”
Virtually boring.
I don't know anyone, and I don't have anyone to talk to.
Above all, it is not a situation to enjoy the banquet.
I checked every nobleman who entered the banquet hall.
He also used a member of the Golden Cross to search the area around the mansion.
I can only imagine the Necromancer with the Undead has infiltrated this fierce stench.
“Ambassador Hima wants to talk to you. ”
“I don't want to.”
I shook my hand.
I took a gesture as if to get rid of the worm.
Rupel said it again to persuade me.
“For the country. ”
“Just attend the banquet and be satisfied. ”
Lupel looked at me like I was unhappy. Then I opened my mouth for a moment.
“The Vampire Differentiation you mentioned earlier. ”
"...?"
“No matter how hard I tried, it didn't work. Is this how it really works? ”
That said, I put out my tongue.
Is that what you've been doing?
There's no sign of Rupel, by the way. I knew the blasphemy was just a shape.
“Have you done it right? ”
“Of course. But... I had no idea. Is there really another way? ”
Half of it was a joke. Rupel's expression is quite serious.
When I wanted to ask about it, Rupel asked me.
“Just in case. ”
Rupel points his finger at the corner of the banquet hall.
There sits Ruffel's mother Rose. Next to him was a woman with black hair who looked like a servant girl, and a woman in black who was standing to serve.
“What do you think of her? ”
“Yes?”
“Literally. ”
Rupel asked me with a serious face.
The cold sweat on your forehead seems rather urgent.
I turned my gaze and looked at the servant girl next to Rose.
[Name: Sharin.
Age: 25
Characteristics: beauty, enchantment, luscious disposition, liver, intimidation, and narcotics.
+ I will give birth to the prince's child. I'm going to be royalty!]
“... Is that the maid? ”
Quite unique for a servant girl.
If you were a noblewoman, you could sell your country and use men to improve your status.
Rupel's face hardens. I grabbed my shoulder and said,
“Are you a vampire? ”
“No, he's human. ”
“Well, then the Necromancer? ”
What's wrong with him?
I shook my head.
“A simple maid. But I don't think he's a good man. ”
“Isn't he a good man? ”
“Yes, it's hard to say. ”
I shaken my head and said:
“An award for selling the country. ”
Rufel is flawed and silent.
“It's also like a woman trying to get something out of a threat. ”
Lupel's shoulders twitch.
“Is it okay to keep her with you? ”
“... Of course. I will repay my debt to this day. ”
Rupel's words were quite strange.
Do you think she already has a weakness?
However, there was no way that a man who became a prince or a servant would be impressed by a servant girl.
Is there a different reason?
Then, Ambassador Hima approached.
He whispers to Rupel.
“Looks like it's time. ”
At the same time, I heard the voice of 'being’.
- Welcome to the ballroom, mortals.
The voice of Nathus echoes through the ballroom, Undead Rich.
