The nobles roared in the palace.
Vampires? Is that what's in this palace?
This was not possible in the Kingdom of Iceland after 50 years of peace.
The nobles protested against Queen Rox.
“Well, that's an outrageous idea. ”
“That's right. I'm just worried about the queen. ”
“Haha! This is awkward. I heard it was a Hero's Celebration, and this is how you disregard our trust. ”
“I see. I'm disappointed.”
You shake your head as if you felt sorry for the nobles and spit out complaints.
But beyond that unpleasantness, there were others who were afraid of anxiety.
‘Why, why...! ’
"Is the Seven here?" ’
The primordial creatures, bloodsuckers in human scarves, open their eyes.
They were watching the meeting of the Seven and Queen Rox among the nobles.
I thought I'd seen him a lot, but he looked like the Holy Father in the portrait.
I heard it's a celebration for the hero who saved Elusha, the city of adventurers.
I came to familiarize myself with Queen Rox's summons, and there before me was the most alert subject one of the Vampires.
"Damn, cattle fell into a trap...!" ’
One of the creatures bites the nail.
I was investigating the hero of Elusha just in case, but I didn't expect to ask this openly.
The Vampires stare at Queen Rox with furious eyes.
“The Vampire Bleeding? Even if I am a Durkon rank adventurer, I have no power to extract the Vampire. ”
I'm a doctor of rejection.
The Vampires sigh of relief among the nobles.
Thank goodness.
Of course, the Crown Prince has no reason to help Ice here.
It's a good thing.
Queen Rox will lose her trust in the nobles for this.
If her authority is compromised, it's better to act as a vampire….
“Oh, but I have a very good feeling about this. ”
"..."
The Vampires hold their heads up in shock.
As they instinctively looked at the Seven, the Seven looked at the nobles.
7 The prince's mouth curls up. I searched for "hunting" with a sharp gleam of eyes.
The Vampires were hardened and remembered a copy that had just flown away.
- Beware of the Crown Prince.
It was there.
- I don't know how, but he's a vampire...
Then I met my eyes.
Seven are on the move.
- We have the ability to extract it.
Suddenly, I flew to the nobles.
There's no room for nobles to scream.
The seven popes caught one of the nobles.
Grab the head and kneel.
“Er... Huh?"
Suddenly, the vampire opens his eyes and looks up at him.
7 The prince still did nothing.
I just stare down at the vampire ears with frenzied eyes.
When the feeling of fear is engraved deep in the bone, the vampire screams.
“Sa, help me! I'm not a vampire. Soldier, what are you doing? Stop this disrespect! ”
The Royal Knights and Wizards were startled and tried to stop the Seven.
Queen Rox slaps her staff and bites the soldiers.
“Step back.”
The Vampire stares at Queen Rox and says,
“Queen Rox! This is ridiculous. This is against national law! ”
“This is an emergency. You know how your neighbor, Rom, met his end. ”
Queen Rox glanced at the nobles inside the throne room.
“A civil war caused by a vampire. The king died, and the brothers fought horribly, and 10 percent of the people became undead. I heard it was also the work of the dragonslayer who served the royal family. ”
“Th-that may have happened, in this peaceful country...! ”
“Get tested by an adventurer in Durkon. I take full responsibility. ”
Queen Rox closed her eyes in a heartbeat.
Somewhere, he held his hands together and bowed his head.
The nobles vomit their complaints, but they do not stop them.
They are also afraid.
If the Vampire is inside the nobles, I don't know when he will be bitten.
The vampire turned his gaze and saw the seven popes.
“Don't worry, nobleman. It's just a way to deepen the skull. A normal person would be perfectly healthy, a vampire. ”
7 The Pope is smiling.
“It will burn away. ”
I can't believe this is happening!
So is Queen Rox, but the man in front of her is the Seven.
No matter how badly I call him, I have to watch out for every action. How impulsive.
“Pope 7, this is ridiculous. This is a diplomatic disrespect...! ”
The nobles are surprised by what the Vampire has to say.
Some of them complained that he was seven.
“The Seven? Who? ”
The vampire sweats coldly.
7 The pope whispered in the ear of the vampire.
“You said so yourself, Queen Rox." Adventurer. "This is the work of a private adventurer. ”
“That kind of force...! ”
“Queen Rox. ”
Queen Rox saw the Seven.
“What can you do for me? Reward for being an adventurer.”
“What I can do with my authority. And as long as it's not harmful to your country, I'll listen to anything."
“Then the quest. ”
The seven popes put the sacred power into their hands.
The vampire started with his head and his whole body was on fire.
A peculiar rumble echoes among the nobles with a splendid flame.
The prince takes off his hands, and the vampire's burning body rumbles.
The 7th prince relaxed to greet the queen.
“I'll take that.”
The nobles hardened and watched the scene.
The other vampires were also terrified.
'... Earl Kirum was right. ’
‘7 The pope distinguishes between the vampire and the vampire. We have to tell Earl Timont about this! ’
‘They must have smelled it and come here. It's dangerous here too! ’
The burning vampire finally kneels on the ground.
“Sa, save..."
"Pu-suk!" The body completely collapses.
The bloodsuckers among the nobles sweat coldly.
The opponent is the seven princes who have hunted two 'Marquis’.
He will not be resisted by any creature other than the original, nor will he escape.
‘If so.'
‘There's only one way left! ’
The Vampires empowered my whole body.
Bring magic to a boil.
Their eyes stare at Queen Rox.
I'm taking the queen hostage! ’
Vampires protrude out.
They rushed in revealing their true colors.
An ugly face with protruding fangs, sharp nails, and bloodshed.
“Queahhhh!”
Elise stands in the way as she screams and tries to attack Queen Rox.
Inhales, clenching his fist as hard as he can to crush the head of a vampire.
Right hand, left hand, heavy fist. Vampires burst in a single shot of encouragement.
‘... What the hell! ’
I never heard of her! ’
I've heard of a guard with a sword, but I haven't heard of a priest with a fist.
As the bloodsuckers rush to a halt, a gunshot sounds.
Christmas pierces the head of the vampire.
7 The prince smiles leisurely with a musket in one hand.
The Vampires who remained among the nobles couldn't even think of going out.
This place is already like a spider web. If you resist, you will only be killed.
There's nowhere to go.
Queen Rox looks back at the ashen corpse.
“Are you still complaining? ”
Queen Rox glances at the nobles.
The nobles who remained silent looked at each other and spread their distance.
Especially the nobles who were friends with the Vampire became cool. They start to doubt their surroundings.
The evidence was right before my eyes.
This is a nationwide threat alert.
The brave nobles carefully come out of their seats.
A nobleman glances at Queen Rox as he looks at the ashes, sweating cold.
“... did the Queen expect these results? ”
“Yes, I was suspicious of strange movements in the country these days. Just no confirmation. ”
“You mean it's an emergency. ”
The peace that lasted 50 years was broken.
Realizing that, the eyes of the nobles turned.
Everyone looked at the Seven.
“How do we find the rest? ”
In that single sentence, the faces of the remaining vampires became pale.
* *
It was late one night.
You inspect the nobles daily and extract a vampire from them.
Some of them resisted, but were captured without a problem.
This is where the Royal Wizards are, so it will be a good experiment.
I was in her room by the invitation of Queen Rox.
I sat on the balcony, staring up at the sky.
‘Even though the Kingdom of Iceland was mentioned in the data White gave me.... ’
I didn't know there were this many in the Magic Palace.
No, the Kingdom, the Empire, anywhere.
The Vampires are looking carefully.
An opportunity to invade the Holy See.
I remembered Queen Rox as I drank the tea I had prepared.
And then I saw Queen Rox, and I remembered Celt.
There is a corner that resembles somewhere.
You could say that if you just look at the rough edges.
Then the door opened.
Queen Rox is here with the maid.
She sat across from me in a gorgeous dress.
The maid put the dinner street on the table.
“First of all, thank you for accepting our request for your country." Your Highness. "”
I heard you were an adventurer, but now you're a prince.
I took the car to my mouth and looked at the single queen of Rocks.
A wrinkled but pretty face. She gives you a longing look.
I told Queen Rox.
“It's nothing. They moved on to get the reward. ”
Not all of them.
I only searched the capital and some of the nobles nearby. There is a good chance that there are a lot of vampires hiding in other lands.
I couldn't kill 100% of them, like killing a cockroach.
“Let's start with the reward story. What do you want? Your Highness.”
“I will speak diplomatically as the Seven. ”
Irons is already in debt.
I am in a position to make demands.
I didn't know Big Eyes and Vampires could be so helpful.
“Yes, Your Highness. ”
I smiled at Queen Rox and said,
“Won't you make an alliance? ”
Queen Rox's eyes widen in surprise.
Magic and religion are opposites.
Witches say they can use magic because of reason. On the contrary, the Pantheon says that magic can be used by God.
We know each other's source of power, but what's greater? ’There is no choice but to create a conflict.
It was a very childish but natural result.
Alliance, I wasn't actually thinking about this.
However, if the Vampires are planning to attack the Holy See, it is best to engage the surrounding countries as much as possible.
A shield and a sword.
“Very well.”
Surprisingly easy to accept
I was surprised when I drank tea and looked at her.
“You make decisions too easily. ”
Or was I thinking about it?
Queen Rox rocks the car.
“Of course, we'll have to decide through the council of nobles. But a moment ago, I was told that I needed the help of the Holy Father and Mother of God. The only experts who can catch vampires are the Holy See. ”
I said, tasting again.
“Also of the horse's.... ”
“I'll pay you a certain amount. We'll make sure you get the right price. This trade will also help our country. ”
Things are going so well.
It was too different from what I had heard.
I thought the Magic Kingdom was hostile to the Holy Empire.
No, that's not the story except for Queen Rox.
We talked about many other things, but Queen Rox was positive.
However, the restrictions that were detrimental to his kingdom were flowed through the conversation.
I looked at Queen Rox for a cup of tea.
A single glance is like a grandchild's gaze.
I touched his face without even knowing it.
“What's on my face? ”
“I was just thinking about the old Celt. ”
“With my grandfather... ”
“So what do you want your reward for being an adventurer? ”
Queen Rox seems to be struggling.
I guess you don't want to talk about it.
I was curious, but I couldn't stop myself from pulling it out.
There was a reason I came to Ireland.
Above all, I don't deal with diplomatic matters, so you can leave the rest to Celts and brothers.
I told Queen Rox.
“Dungeon here, underground in the capital. ”
Queen Rox reacts.
Her eyes narrow, looking at me.
“I want to enter Titaloth. May I?"
“... you know what a maze it is. ”
“A place where ancient monsters encamped and mined for stone. ”
Where the ancient creatures that are said to have disappeared in this world are still alive. It was also the source of the stone that would support Ice, the magical palace.
“I want to go in there. ”
Queen Rox has been intertwined.
She smiles bitterly.
“I'm afraid I'll have to decline. ”
"...?"
Surprisingly.
You say yes to everything else and reject the Underground Maze?
It's beyond national level.
"Is it because there's a secret you don't want to share in the underground maze?"
Queen Rox shakes her head.
“It's dangerous.”
“It's where the ancient creatures are. If you do wrong, you will lose your life. I can't jeopardize Silver Man's grandson. ”
“You've heard of me. ”
“It's a place even the Vampires don't like. ”
... a dragon's nest.
“How could I not? ”
Queen Rox looked at me for a while.
I took a long sigh while I was in conflict.
“What are you doing there? ”
I asked you why.
I said with a smile.
“It's just a hobby. When I became a vacation adventurer, I wanted to hunt down ancient creatures. I'm also curious about what's in Iceland's underground labyrinth. Why is the Kingdom of Iceland called the Magic Palace...? ”
“I know. ”
Queen Rox has hung up.
When I looked at her with a curious face, Queen Rox did not hide it.
“The reason why the prince wants to go to Titaloth. ”
“... What do you mean? ”
Rox drank tea.
“The angel who sleeps there. ”
She smiled and said.
“You came to have it, didn't you? ”
