163 163 coins.

Hilda gets in the wagon with a big look on her face.

She crosses her arms and says bluntly.

“I couldn't catch the Vampire, and I couldn't catch the Lycan. There's no point in going like this."

The dwarf leader, Bellogue, who was sitting in the carriage seat, bursts into laughter.

‘You're upset again. ’

There was a massive vampire invasion in the capital, Lorenzis.

It is said that more than 500 protesters are at war, 50,000 undead.

Above all, the Vampire King was eager to strike down the Holy City.

But...

'I failed.'

Hilda and the Dwarves are in a hurry to get ready for battle.

I heard the situation was already over on the way to the Royal Road.

In the end, the troops who went to support turned into troops who went for repairs.

“Well, that's a good thing. When the war ended, it was better to avoid the people that much. ”

“I see. I agree. ”

Hilda rolls her mouth up to see if she's feeling well.

Bellogue smiles cheerfully in response.

Emotional changes were entertaining, and he seemed to see a cute daughter.

"Huh?"

Bellogue saw a large procession of wagons on the road to Lorenzis, the capital.

It's not just a noble escort.

Dozens of knights and thousands of men.

Bellogue is nervous for a moment.

A large force headed for the capital at a time like this?

However, seeing the symbol on the front row of the wagon made me think differently.

A pattern overlapped by a shield and a spear.

An allied kingdom of Franz.

Bellogue looks at it and tilts his head.

"Franz Kingdom? It's also a royal wagon. No, is that the army? If it's the Franz Royal Family, Hilda... ”

“What are you doing?”

Hilda presses down on Bellogue's head and raises her head.

Hilda's face brightens.

The procession of the Wagons in Franz Kingdom also stops at the side of the road, watching the wagon on the Hilda.

Hilda steps out of the wagon and looks straight ahead.

The gates of the Franz Royal Wagon have opened.

There, a beautiful middle-aged wife with red hair and eyes came down.

Hilda's face brightens as she looks at the middle-aged wife.

The royal family of the Kingdom of Franz has a close diplomatic relationship with the Holy See.

He would, too.

“Mother!"

Lunan Ariana, sister of the current king, Janner Franz, a royal family.

because she is Hilda's mother and the wife of the Crown Prince White Olfalls.

* * *

"What's all this?"

I was in the Imperial Oval Office.

Ten days since the end of the Vampire War.

A pile of paperwork piles up in front of you as the damage was immense.

Next to him, Charlotte stands guard, and Elise and Hans groan, stacking taller piles of paperwork in front of the library.

“You want me to take care of this all by myself? ”

I looked at Charlotte with a disgruntled gaze.

Charlotte grabs one of the documents on the library and looks at it and smiles bitterly.

“I can't help it. If we don't get this done quickly, the people will be in trouble. ”

“There are other nobles. ”

“Everyone's working on it. Apparently, Luann had a pile of paperwork with him last night, too. ”

That's too much.

I can't believe you're treating me like I'm the first scholar to end a war.

I looked at the paperwork with a fat face.

Well, the damage is substantial.

Recovery requires a celebration, a party, or a festival.

Wait a minute.

"... and about Aslan? ”

It was also a rumor about Aslan.

Aslan was currently unstable.

It's like you abandoned them as soon as you conquered them.

I was that confused.

As it was an emergency, Charlotte returned with some of the troops dispatched to Aslan, and some priests were given temporary custody.

Of course, the Aslan people have no choice but to complain.

Tinya is temporarily empowered to stop it and control it, but this time the nobles are in trouble.

Why did you take back the queen who abducted the throne?

They don't seem to know it's temporary.

“After you've done your job, you should return to Aslan in a hurry to finish what's left. It's the Holy Father's territory for now. ”

“... Why is the Vampire so busy fighting a losing war?" It's not politics, either. ”

I have a forehead. And he pretended to be mumbling.

“I'm anemic, but I need you to bring some of the documents to Brother Luan. ”

pointed to some of the documents.

Charlotte looks surprised.

“Are you all right?”

“Anemia continues after summoning the archangel, I'm afraid I may have trouble doing my job. ”

That's a lie.

There was a sequelae of summoning Metatron, but that was all he could do for three days.

My muscle aches, my fever, my sleep.

There was no effect now.

I looked at Elise as if I was worried about Charlotte.

Elise smiles bitterly and looks me in the eye.

She shakes her head.

“Everything's fine. And even if you postpone it, the first prince is tired now, so I can't leave him in charge anymore."

As expected, the healer, the trickster, did not succeed.

I leaned against the wall, pulling back the chair.

After a small commotion behind the window, you turn your head.

For the people, I was moving the jar containing holy water from the Imperial Palace to the cart.

To heal the wounded, or the sick.

"Is that okay? ”

There is no problem in treating the people.

If there was a problem, it was that the holy water was made by me.

If you pay that to the people, things might get hard to handle later.

“You'll be fine. We will all cherish the Holy Father. ”

Charlotte, you do realize that's a pretty dangerous and scary thing to say, right?

Even if you know the effects of my holy water, you should say so.

“I'm trying to be a golden white man, not a bishop. ”

Imagine those in the capital looking at me as fanatics. It gives me the creeps.

Somehow, 10,000 bilateral doctrines may be underway without my knowledge.

“But not all of us are Awakened. ”

Moreover, even if you are a fanatical believer, if you see the prisoners in the north, it will not be that intimidating.

If you don't believe in faith and commit crimes, that's a good thing.

The words of Gaia in the Bible will be useful.

“First of all, let's do 10,000 bilateral conversations later. ”

Charlotte looked at me with surprised eyes.

"Are you sure you want to continue? ”

“Of course. The time for peace is time to prepare for war. Even if the Vampire is no longer the basis for creating a Blood Kingdom, we can't be careless. Above all.”

I lay my elbow on the ledger and my back against my face.

“The Vampire King lived. ”

In the end, Celt failed to pursue the Vampire King.

He has been enjoying his hobby for days, keeping the Vampires caught alive in the maze again.

First and foremost, we've captured a duck, so we're going to run all kinds of experiments.

I wondered why a vampire named Cyrus was trying to save Rufel.

Saving the dying two princes, what was he trying to do?

It was a reaction from a vampire named Cyrus.

- What the hell are you doing? This is also a contradiction to the gods you speak of! What kind of experiment...!

Screaming.

I don't know if I ate the Holy Water wrong and lost my mind or if I want to deny something.

I've also been to the underground maze a few times, but I've never met Rufel alone.

“Hans.”

Hans, who was carrying the documents, looked at me.

I looked at him and narrowed my eyes.

“What have you done to Prince Rupel? ”

Hans rolls his eyes in surprise.

He looks very troubled.

“Oh, well... The Holy Father said it was just an experiment. ”

“A simple experiment? ”

“Using the blood of the Great Depression.... ”

“What is that? ”

"..."

The more I asked, Hans's body shrunk.

The pupils seem to be shaking quite a bit.

It was even more suspicious because I had a hunch that the Holy Father would do something other than torture Rupel.

I stared at Hans with some pressure, but Hans doesn't open his mouth, just cold sweat.

This guy's been mouthing off ever since he became Earl.

Then you hear a knock.

Charlotte opens the door to the Oval Office and sees the paladin whispering something to her.

Charlotte blinks as she listens to the story. After a moment, I was startled.

Charlotte approached me and said quietly.

“Looks like the Ariana family has arrived at the Imperial Palace. ”

“House Ariana? ”

“Franz Kingdom, one of the royal family. Duke Lunan Ariana, the patron saint of the Duke of Ariana, is here. ”

“... Oh, I remember. ”

It was definitely in the family tree that Haman gave me.

The mother of Hilda, sister of the current king, Janer Franz, and the Third Duke of White.

I had a surprised look in my eyes.

This Vampire case is bigger than ever.

“The execution of the three princes, the succession of the Holy Father, did not come here. ”

It is said that the Empress Dowager is quite strong and obsessed.

1It seems that Yulicia the Crown Prince and his brother were quite close, but on the contrary, he is said to be the enemy of Rose the Crown Prince.

Rumor has it that Rufel, Rose's son, also hated it horribly, and that I was reluctant to mess with Ulicia's name.

“No, he said he couldn't leave the kingdom. ’

I looked at Charlotte.

Charlotte scratches her cheek.

“Franz Kingdom is the most active vampire on the continent. That's why He…. ”

Charlotte spills her ponytail.

I tilted my head.

“... I understand you've had a busy day hunting vampires on your own. ”

According to Charlotte, I ran the idea.

Vampires, aren't these the poor bastards who can't live anywhere?

“Even though the Holy Father is not a clan? ”

“Franz Kingdom is regarded as the second vampire hunting country, although the country is small. virtually three times that of the Vampire Diarrhea. ”

“I know that the Holy Father is fit for the Crown Prince's mercy, and I know that he has driven a spiritual marriage. In fact, the reason I came to Lorenzis is because I came as a reinforcement force. ”

I clasped my back.

“You're as tough as Hilda. ”

You're here to lead the army as a mistress.

You are Hilda's mother.

I got up from my seat.

“I need to be quiet for a while. ”

Clearly, Lunan Ariana is not worthy of the emperor's mercy.

Even with a better reputation, human emotions can't change that easily.

“I think it's too late for that. ”

Charlotte lets out a small sigh and points her finger at the door to the office.

There is a woman waving her head out of the door.

“Hilda? ”

It was the first thought I had when I saw her.

But it's different.

Everything from the atmosphere to the face.

Quite smooth with an active, playful expression in contrast to Hilda.

“Hi, it's been a long time. Alan!”

A woman entered the room without her permission.

I used my mind to confirm and say the woman's name.

“Serran.”

Daughter of White the Crown Prince, and sister to me.

It was Serran Ariana.

“I've come to play with Marvel and Meshel! ”

The woman looks back and says,

Again, I saw the twin brothers who looked through the door.

No matter how old they are, they are only about 14.5 years old.

Marvel Ariana, Marcel Ariana.

The twin brothers glared at me with uncomfortable eyes.

Are they you, too?

Although the last name is inherited by the Ariana family, there are two princesses and four and a half in the Holy See.

“Can I talk to you for a second? ”

Looking at the sobbing serpent grinning, I found his forehead.

* *

Haman is in pursuit of the two paladins, Rupel.

The coordinates of the damaged warp Hans mentioned.

In the woods, considerable distance from Lorenzis, Haman raises a burned torch.

Another paladin touches the grass foot.

“Animal tracks. The blood trail is pale, but it remains. ”

“Was it eaten, or was it found by someone? ”

Haman turned his head.

You can see the road just a few miles from here.

It is a rare road, where predators have appeared and travelers are reluctant to travel.

However, given the chaos of recent wars and the proximity to the capital, travellers or refugees have become frequent routes.

‘There's no way the two of you escaped alone. ’

Rumor has it that the Second Prince Rupel is immobilized and physically damaged.

Must have been a vampire or a traveler or something.

Haman sighs on his forehead.

“I'm going to put a lot of effort into this pursuit. ”

There was virtually no way to do it.

“What do you want me to do? ”

The paladin sighs.

“Summon the Green Cross and continue the pursuit as far as possible. Investigate the roads that have passed through here in the last 10 days and find out about those who passed by near town. ”

Haman looks at the dried torch.

“Pursue Rupel to the end. ”
